Genistein, as one kind of phytoestrogens, can stimu-late osteoblastic proliferation, differention and mineralization, and can also inhibit bone resorption activity of osteoclast. The effect of genistein on bone metabolism lies in various molecular mechanisms. This paper reviews the research progress of the an-ti-osteoporotic action of genistein and its mechanism, which may provide a basis for the research and development of new agents to treat osteoporosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of Chinese medicine Louxie mixture on vascular reactivity in atherosclerosis rats. Methods Forty male rats were randomly divided into four groups: the control group (A group, n=10) was fed with normal diet; the model group (B group, n=10), atorvastatin treated group (C group, n=10 and Louxie mixture group (D group, n=10) were fed with high fat/cholesterol diet. Atorvastatin 10 mg/kg·d-1 was administered to C group and Louxie mixture to D group for 10 weeks by gavages. Serum endothelin-1 (ET-1), nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide syntheses (NOS) were observed in different groups before and after the treatment. Vascular reactivity of aortic rings was measured by both the sodium nitroprusside(SNP)-induced endothelium-independent relaxation (NEDR) and the acetylcholine (Ach)-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) in different groups. Results After treatment, the (19.03±1.72)μmol/l; NOS (24.78±0.25)U/ml vs (15.36±0.24U/ml), P<0.01], while the level of ET-1in B levels of NO and NOS in B group were significantly lower than those in A group [NO(35.73±3.72)μmol/l vs group was higher than that in A group [(34.58±4.00) pg/ml vs (117.58±5.34)pg/ml,P<0.01]. The levels of NO and NOS were significantly increased and the level of ET-1 was decreased in C and D groups after the treatment [NO(C: 31.30±1.96 umol/l;D: 32.85±3.70 umol/l); NOS (C: 21.96±1.07 U/ml ; D: 19.78± 1.20U/ml ); ET (C:58.26±5.14 pg/ml; D:59.30±5.73 pg/ml), P<0.01]. The activities of NEDR were similar in four groups[SNP Emax (A: 97.33±1.31; B: 98.24±1.04;C: 97.52±1.09; D: 97.91±1.59)%, P>0.05], but the level of EDR in the B group (P<0.01) was the lowest among four groups [Ach Emax (A: 72.65±3.31; B: 32.68±2.39;C: 61.63±2.07; D: 57.58±2.43)%, P<0.01]. Conclusion Chinese medicine Louxie mixture can protect vascular function in atherosclerosis rats.

Objective To discuss the intervention effect of four oral care model on compliance of atomizing inhalation and mouth and throat complications in outpatient infants and young children patients. Methods A total of 480 cases of children patients using budesonide inhalation for the treatment of respiratory tract infection were divided into the observation group(n=260)and the control group (n=220) according to the time sequence. The control group received conventional nursing, the observation group used quaternity oral care model in nursing care. The compliance and occurrence of complications in the mouth and throat were observed between the two groups. Results In the observation group with nebulae inhalation compliance was 79.2% (206/260), evidently higher than that in the control group the compliance of 58.6%(129/220) (χ2=23.97,P<0.01). The incidence of oral herpes and ulcers in the control group was 2.73%(6/220), and 0.77%(2/260) in the observation group, but no significant difference was seen (χ2=2.79, P>0.05). The incidence of thrushes was 3.64%(8/220) in the control group, and none occurred in the observation group, which showed significant difference (χ2=9.62, P<0.01). Conclusions Using quaternity oral care model in corticosteroid nebulae inhalation patientscan increase compliance and decreasecomplications of oral and throat of outpatient children.

Object To investigate the chemical constituents of Buddlejae officinalis Maxim. , the relationship between their bioactivities, and the medicinal application of the herb. Methods Various chro-matographic techniques were employed for the isolation and purification of the constituents, including silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, and pre-HPLC. The structures of 11 isolated chemical compounds were elucidated by chemical and spectral analysis (NMR, IR, UV, and MS). The aldose reductase inhibiting test and test on DNA topoisomerase Ⅳ inhibitory effect were applied to evaluate the bioactivity of both the purified compounds and the crude fraction. Results Eleven compounds were isolated from the extracts of B. offic-inalis. They are four flavones and their glycosides; apigenin (Ⅰ), linarin (Ⅱ), apigenin-7-O-?-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-6)-?-D-glucopyranoside (Ⅲ), and luteolin-7-O-?-D-glucoside (Ⅶ); four phenylen-thanoid glycosides: verbascoside (Ⅴ), isoacteoside (Ⅵ), cistanoside F, a and b (Ⅶ-1 and 2), campneo-side Ⅱ , a and b (Ⅷ-1 and 2); three triferpenoid saponins: mimengoside A (Ⅸ), mimengoside B (Ⅹ), songaroside A (Ⅺ). Some of the them (such as Ⅱ ,Ⅲ , and Ⅵ) showed the aldose reductase inhibitory activities with a higher inhibitory rate than that of quercetin (the positive control), others (such as Ⅰ,Ⅱ , Ⅴ, Ⅵ, and Ⅺ) displayed the inhibititory activities against the DNA topoisomerase Ⅳ . Conclusion Among all the isolated compounds, Ⅲ , Ⅶ-1 and 2, Ⅷ-1 and 2, and Ⅺ are separated for the first time both from the plant and the genus. Their bioactivities of bacteriostatic and against aldose reductase with DNA topoisomerase Ⅳ as target are tested for the first time and are related to the medicinal application of B. officinalis.

Objective To observe the expression of FAS/FASL in brain of autism model rats induced by sodium valproate,and study the role of FAS/FASL in pathogenesis of autism.Methods Female wistar rats were given a single intraperitoneal injection of sodium valproate(VPA,600 mg/kg) on 12.5 d after pregnancy,and their offspring were used as the experimental group;while the other pregnancy rats were given the same dose of normal saline,and their offspring were used as the control group.The growth,social and non-social behaviors,repetitive stereotyped movements of both groups were observed and tested.The expressions of FAS/FASL in brain of both groups on 1 d,7 d,l4 d,28 d,56 d and 90 d after birth were observed and compared by means of immunohistochemistry and image analysis.Results Compared with the control group,the rats in experimental group had stunted growth,a decrease in social behavior,an increase in non-social behavior,with repetitive stereotyped movements increased,and there were significant differences (all P <0.05) ;FAS/FASL expression was less on 1 d after birth,and it was growing gradually with age in days,and expression reached the peak on 28 d and then began to decrease.Compared with the control group,all day-old rats' FAS and FASL expression in the experimental group were significantly raised (all P < 0.05).In experimental group,the brain FAS/FASL IOD values on 28 d after the birth reached the maximum,and 90 d after the birth reached the minimum.In the control group brain FAS/FASL IOD values on 14 d after the birth reached the maximum,and 1 d after the birth reached the minimum.Conclusions The apoptotic cell of autism model rats' brain neure is increasing firstly and then decreasing by FAS/FASL apoptotic pathway,and reach apoptosis peak on 28d.

AIM: To examine whether ischemic preconditioning (IPC) can protect against apoptosis in CA1 subfield of hippocampus following reperfusion of a lethal ischemia in rats and explore the role of IPC by inhibiting the expression of p53 in this process. METHODS: Wistar rats were used in the experiment. A global ischemia/reperfusion model was induced by 4-vessel occlusion. The rats were divided into the following three groups randomly: (1) ischemic preconditioning group (IPC group); (2) ischemia/reperfusion group (IR group); (3) control group. The histopathological changes, the percentage of apoptosis and the expression of p53 gene in CA1 region of rat hippocampus were examined by HE staining, FCM, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry techniques. RESULTS: The neuronal density of CA1 region in IPC group [(217?9)/0.72 mm2] was significantly higher than that in IR group [(29?5)/0.72 mm2, P
