Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect of Chinese herbal medicine for prevention and treatment of acute radiation oropharyngeal inflammation of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods:120 cases of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were randomly divided into an experiment group of 60 cases treated with Chinese herbal medicine and a control group of 60 cases with gargling of Dobell's solution.The incidence rate and the extent of radiation oropharyngeal inflammation,total therapeutic time and short-term therapeutic effect in both groups were investigated.Results:There was no oropharyngeal inflammation of grade 0 in both groups. The incidence rate of radiation oropharyngeal inflammation in the experiment group was significantly lower and the effective rate was significantly higher than those in the control group(P0.05).Conclusion:Chinese herbal medicine combined with radiotherapy can relieve acute radiotherapy oropharyngeal inflammation in the patient of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with no significant adverse reaction and do not influence the short-term therapeutic effect.

Objective To construct a cDNA library of three-year old Polygonum multiflorum leaf tissues so as to further research the gene regulation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis of medicinal plants. Methods Total RNA from leaf tissues of P.multiflorum was extracted and mRNA was purified,which were synthesized to double strand cDNA through reverse transcription.After the cDNA termini was blunted,the 5' end of EcoR Ⅰ adapters phosphorylated was conjoined,and then digested by Xho Ⅰ,cDNA fragments were fractionated by Sepharose CL-2B spin column.The fragments longer than 400 bp were linked to Uni-ZAP XR vector.The primary cDNA library was established after the recombinants had been packaged.Uni-ZAP XR Vector might fleetly release pBluescript SK-phasmids at the presence of ExAssist helper phage of coinfection and inverted E.coli SOLR.Finally,PCR and double enzymes digestion were used to analyze the range of inserts,respectively. Results The titer of cDNA primary library was 1.07?106pfu/mL and the length of exogenous insert was at about 0.5-2.0 kb with 5.4?105 recombinants,the recombinants of amplified library were 4.25?1011 and the rate of recombination was 98.5%. Conclusion The results indicate that the cDNA library of P.multiflorum leaf tissues has enough volume for screening the desired genes and sets up a basis for studying on gene regulation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis of medicinal plants besides.

Objective To investigate the effects of inhaling high concentration of hydrogen gas on the expressions of endoplasmic reticulum stress(ERS) related protein glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78),Caspase-12 and the neural cell apoptosis and related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax in the rats with focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion(I/R) injury.Methods Seventy-two healthy SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats were selected and then randomly divided into the control group(Ⅰ:without any treatment),sham operation group (Ⅱ),cerebral IRI group (Ⅲ) and hydrogen gas treatment group (Ⅳ),18 cases in each group.Focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) model was induced by using the suture-occluded method.The neurological deficits score (NDS) was assessed at 24 h after cerebral reperfusion in four groups.The cerebral infarction severity and size were detected by TTC staining and neuronal apoptosis of brain cortex were tested by TUNEL technique.The apoptosis index (AI) was calculated.Then the expressions of GRP78,Caspase-12,Bcl-2 and Bax were assessed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Results As compared with the group Ⅰ and Ⅱ,NDS score,cerebral infarction size,AI and the expressions of GRP78,Caspase-12 and Bax in cerebral cortex in the group Ⅲl and Ⅳ were significantly increased,while the expression of Bcl-2 in cerebral cortex was markedly decreased(P<0.05);compared with the group Ⅲ,NDS score,brain infarction size,AI and the expression of Caspase-12 and Bax in cerebral cortex in the group Ⅳ were markedly decreased,while the expressions of GRP78 and Bcl-2 were dramatically increased (P<0.05).Conclusion Inhaling high concentration of hydrogen gas has a certain protective effect on cerebral IRI in rats through increasing endoplasmic reticulum GRP78 protein expression after IRI and inhibiting Caspase-12 activation,thus inhibiting ERS and promoting the repair function of endoplasmic reticulum.

Objective: To study rDNA ITS (internal transcribed spacers) sequences variation from di erent population of Aquilaria sinensis in main habitat of China. Methods: The rDNA ITS regions of various A. sinensis were ampli ed by PCR method and sequenced, and they were analyzed by means of the software of CLUSTAL and MEGA. Results: The sequences of rDNA ITS region of A. sinensis were reported for the rst time, and the sequences of ITS region were 680bp (ITS1 246bp, 5.8S 163bp, ITS2 271bp). There were 6 variable sites among populations and the genetic distance were 0.0% to 1.1%,which indicated the intraspecific genetic variation was low of A. sinensis. Conclusion: The variation of rDNA ITS sequences can be used to authenticate A.sinensis from di erent geographical regions and their adulterants.

Objective To observe the effect of ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation on cerebral blood flow in children with spastic diplegia cerebral palsy. Methods 36 cases of spastic diplegia cerebral palsy were divided into control group (n=21) and obsevation group (n=15), 19 healthy children were as normal group. The control group received conventional rehabilitation training. The obsevation group received the ultra-low frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation in addition. All the children received the check of transcranial color Doppler (TCD). Results Several arterials flow velocity was lower, several arterials pulsatility index and resistance index were higher in the obsevation group than in the normal group before treatment (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the arterial flow of obsevation group improved, pulsatility index and resistance index decreased in some degrees in the obsevation group after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion The cerebral blood flow is of low velocity and high resistance in spastic diplegia children, while ultra-low frequency magnetic stimulation could improve the condition of cerebral flow.
