Objective:To investigate the change of insoluble particles in 4 traditional Chinese medicine injections at different con-centrations in 0. 9% NaCl injection. Methods:Fufang Kushen injection, Shuxuetong injection, Lugua Duotai injection and Honghua Huangsesu injection were diluted by 0. 9% sodium chloride injection to obtain low concentration and high concentration solutions. The insoluble particles number of initial injections and dilutions at different time points(0,2,4,and 5 h) was detected according to the in-soluble particles test described in the fourth principle 0903 of China Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition). Results:The number of insoluble particles in 4 traditional Chinese medicine injections and 0. 9% sodium chloride injection met the requirements. The insoluble particles (≥25 μm) in 4 traditional Chinese medicine injections at different concentrations were few and almost stable with time, the insoluble particles(≥10 μm) showed an increasing trend in a concentration-dependent manner and varied with time. Conclusion:The insoluble particles(≥10 μm) in traditional Chinese medicine injections at high concentration are more than those at low concentration, which suggests that the concentration of traditional Chinese medicine injections should be restricted strictly according to the prescriptions and used up as soon as possible.

AIM: Integrins act as receptors for molecules of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and play a major role in mediating cell morphology change,metabolism,function,migration,proliferation and differentiation. It is still unclear that whether ECM is associated with regulation of microglial activation and integrin expression. The study investigated the effects of three different ECM (fibronectin, vitronectin and laminin) on the expression of rat microglia integrin. METHODS:Experiments were performed in Research Center for Clinical Neurology, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from May 2006 to August 2007. ①Neonatal Wistar rats were bought from Experimental Animal Center of Tongji Medical College. Animal intervention met the animal ethical standard. ②Rat microglia was cultured and purified. Culture plate was coated with fibronectin, vitronectin and laminin, and non-ECM served as control. ③The influence of individual ECM on microglia integrin expression and microglia surface expression of MHC Ⅰ by flow cytometry. RESULTS:①MHC classⅠexpression on rat microglia was significantly increased by fibronectin and vitronectin(P

Objective: To investigate the relationship between social anxiety of primary school students in countryside and their parents'rearing patterns. Methods: 176 primary school students of Jiangxi province were investigated with EMBU and social anxiety scale for children. Results: ( 1 ) along with the increase of grade, students'score on EMBU and social anxiety decreased ( F = 4. 34 - 25. 64, P

Correspondence between man and nature theory is the core of TCM chronomedicine, and also plays an important role in ancient Chinese philosophy. The theory believes that distinguishing the rhythm is the foundation of treatment; complying with nature is the core of treatment; taking advantage of wane and wax is the method of treatment. This article combined the physiological and pathological characteristics of children to review the prevention and treatment of pediatric diseases based on chronomedicine, with a purpose to provide inspirations for clinical treatment.

Objective: To investigate relationships among Cognitive performance,cognitive styles and Neuroticism.Methods: Experimental cognitive tests were administered to 30 Highly and 30 Lowly neurotic individuals under tightened and relaxed cognitive conditions.Results: Highly and Lowly neurotic individuals did not appear any differences in total scores,but significant differences in scores of tightened-relaxed cognitive styles.Highly Neurotic individuals mostly tend to be relaxed cognitive style,and Lowly Neurotic individuals to be tightened cognitive style.Conclusion: Neuroticism does not relate with total scores of cognitive performance under tightened and relaxed cognitive condition,but with tightened-relaxed cognitive styles.

AIM: To investigate the kinetics of interleukin-6(IL-6) protein and mRNA expressions in the co-culture of rat brain vascular endothelial cells(VECs) with fibrin.METHODS: The IL-6 concentration were measured by rat IL-6 ELISA kit and the IL-6 mRNA was measured by real-time PCR after development an in vitro model of in situ fibrin polymerization on rat brain vascular endothelial cells.RESULTS: Fibrin induced IL-6 expression.The IL-6 antigen concentration increased significantly in 1.0 g/L media group compared to the low dose fibrin group or control media group(P

Background Oxidative stress is one of the pathogenesis mechanisms of diabetic complications.Melatonin is the most powerful antioxidant in living organism.Seldom study on the effects of melatonin on diabetic complications is found in China now.Objective This study aimed to detect the expression and alteration of malonadehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH)and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP)in retina with experimental diabetes and explore the effects of melatonin on retinal oxidative stress in diabetic rats. Methods The animal models of diabetes were established by injection of 2％ streptozocin via caudal vein(STZ,45 mS/kg)in 48 6-week-old clean SD rats.Isometric citric acid buffer solution wag injected in 24 normal.rats as control group.Seven days after injection of STZ,melatonin(10 mg/kg)was injected into the abdominal cavity of 24 diabetic rats in melatonin group dailv,and the equal volume of normal saline was injected in other 24 diabetic rats(model rats)and 24 rats in normal control group.The animals were sacrificed and retinas were obtained in three groups in 4,6 and 8 weeks respectively.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to detect the expression of GFAP in rat retina.The levels of MDA and GSH in retina homogenate were assayed by spectrophotometer.This experiment complied the Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Commission.Results The expression of GSH in model group was lower than that in melatonin group or control group at 4,6 and 8 weeks (all P<0.05).However,no statistically significant difference was seen in the expression level of GSH between melatonin group and normal control group at 4 and 6 weeks(P>0.05),and in the eighth week,expression of GSH in melatonin group was lower than that in control group(P<0.05).The expressions of MDA and GFAP were more prominent in the model group than in melatonin group and control group in 4,6 and 8 weeks(P<0.05),but no significant difference was found between melatonin group and control group at 4 and 6 weeks(P>0.05).The expressions of MDA and GFAP in melatonin group were higher than those in control group at 8 weeks(P<0.05).Conclusion Melatonin plays a powerful effect in protecting the retina from oxidative stress in diabetes retina by downregulating the MDA level,upregulating GSH level and inhibiting GFAP expression.

The article presented the drugs supply management mode reform in place since 2009 in the one district of Shanghai.Authors analyzed and commented the implementation and outcomes,and studied the potentials of successful promotion nationwide.They hold that such a mode works to some extent in terms of reducing management costs of medical institutions,lowering drug purchase price,encouraging rational drug use of such institutions,and reforming the compensation manner for medical institutions.This mode,however,calls for an operating environment in need of not only funding support,but also new concepts and economic development strength of the society as a whole.This means that such a mode is only recommended in developed areas in China.
