OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inhibitory effect of ligustrazine on the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells and its possible mechanism. METHODS:Human acute mononuclear cells (THP-1) were incubated with 160 nmol/L phorbol ester (PMA) for 24 h to differentiate into macrophages;and the macrophages were incubated with oxidized low-density lipoprotein (ox-LDL)culture solution containing 80 mg/L for 24 h to differentiate into macrophage-derived foam cells. And then the cells were randomly divided into blank control group(ox-LDL),model(AngⅡ)group,positive control(valsartan)group,and ligustrazine low,medium and high concentration groups(the mass concentration were 0.025,0.05 and 0.1 g/L). After all cells were respective-ly incubated with 80 mg/L ox-LDL culture solution for 48 h,oil red O staining was adopted to observe the transformation rate of foam cells,enzyme chemical method was used to determine the content of cholesterol,and real-time quantitative polymerase chain (RT-PCR)and Western blot were conducted to detect expression levels of Acyl-coenzyme A cholesterol acyltransferase-1(ACAT-1) mRNA and its protein. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,the transformation rate of foam cells and content of choles-terol in model group were increased,and the expression levels of ACAT-1 mRNA and its protein were obviously strengthened,with significant differences(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Compared with model group,the transformation rate of foam cells and content of cho-lesterol in positive control group(valsartan)and ligustrazine low,medium and high concentration groups were decreased,and the expression levels of ACAT-1 mRNA and its protein were obviously weakened,with significant differences (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Ligustrazine can inhibit the macrophages differentiating into foam cells,by a mechanism that may be related to inhibiting expression of ACAT-1,and reducing content of cholesterol to reduce formation of foam cells.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare rapid-disintegrating oral tablets of indometacin and establish a method for its quality control.METHODS:The formula of the oral tablets was optimized by orthogonal test with the formula quality of CMS-Na(A),L-HPC(B),MCC(C),manniton(D) as factors,and the disintegrating time as index.The content of indometacin was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry.RESULTS:The optimal formula of the tablets was the following,A∶B∶C∶D=5∶5∶50∶5.The preparation was white in color and its quality was up to the related standard specified in Chinese Pharmacopeia (2005 edition) in identification.The linear range of indometacin was 2.08～41.6 ?g?mL-1 (r=0.999 9).The average recovery was 99.3%.The intra-day RSD=0.53% and inter-day RSD=0.74%.CONCLUSION:The preparation is simple and feasible in preparation process,and controllable in quality.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the hospital infection management in infectious disease ward,to improve the ward quality of hospital infection,and to prevent and control infection inside hospital.METHODS By the plan,do,check and action(PDCA) circle method to collect information,analyze cause,establish plans,and organize to put into practice and check management.RESULTS Making the control quality of hospital infection improved obviously,various index signs attain the Hospital infection management norm and The disinfection technique norm issued by Ministry of Health and infection managment standard requirement for third class grade A hospitals.CONCLUSIONS Inducting PDCA circle method and step by step to insist on it is a good method to improve the control quality of hospital infection.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a chronic nonspecific intestinal inflammatory disease and the etiology and pathogenesis are not fully clarified. Studies showed that immune factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of IBD. Cytapheresis(CAP)is a new blood purification method which can selectively filter or adsorb the inflammatory cells and cytokines in systemic circulation. Many studies confirmed that CAP had some therapeutic effect on IBD. This article reviewed the advances in study on CAP in treatment of IBD.

ABSTRACT:Objective To investigate the effects of poly ADP-ribose polymerase (PARP ) inhibitor 3-aminobenzene (3-AB)on the delayed development cerebral vasospasm (DCVS)after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH)and on the inflammatory factors,namely monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1 )and hypersensitive c-reactive protein (hsCRP),and to explore the relationship between these and the signaling pathway of NF-kappa B (NF-κB).Methods Eighty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups:normal group (n =8),sham-operation group (n =8),SAH model group (n =32)and 3-AB group (n =32).We established 64 SAH model animals by double injection of blood into the cisterna magna.Half of the SAH model animals were treated with 3-AB by intraperitoneal injection (30 mg/kg).These rats were killed to obtain specimens respectively at days 3, 5,7 and 14 after the second blood injection.The morphological changes of basilar arteries were observed under the light microscope.The contents of PARP,MCP-1 and hsCRP in brain tissues were detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expression of NF-κB in basilar arteries was determined by immunohistochemistry.
Results Compared with those in the sham-operation group,the degree of basilar artery spasm reached the peak [(30.47±3.89)%]at day 5 after established SAH model;the thickness and diameter of basilar artery were (1 6.44 ±1.32)μm and (1 78.21 ± 1 1.13)μm,respectively.Cerebral blood flow was reduced by nearly 60% (P <0.01 ). The expression of NF-κB in the cytoplasm and nucleus and PARP content in brain tissue were both increased significantly (P < 0.01 ).MCP-1 [(365.29 ± 28.08 )pg/mL ] and hsCRP [(402.1 6 ± 48.99 )ng/mL ] were significantly enhanced (P <0.01).Compared with the SAH group,after 5 days’intervention with 3-AB,there was obvious alleviation in the spasm degree of basilar artery [(22.65±3.21)%],the thickness [(14.89±1.27)μm]and diameter [(1 98.56±10.91)μm],respectively (P <0.01).Cerebral blood flow was significantly enhanced,but the expression of NF-κB in the cytoplasm and nucleus was decreased and PARP in brain tissue was significantly decreased (P < 0.01 ).MCP-1 [(126.5 1 ± 18.67 )pg/mL]and hsCRP [(285.39 ± 39.07 )ng/mL]in brain tissue were significantly declined,respectively (P <0.01).Conclusion PARP inhibitor 3-AB can alleviate DCVS and inhibit the inflammatory response in brain tissue after SAH.The mechanism may be related to NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a dualwavelength TLC-scanning method for the determination of nucleosides in the preparation of Cordyceps sinensis.METHODS: The sample was analyzed on silica GF254 thin layer plate using 1% CMC-Na as adhesive and chloroform-ethylacetate-isopropanol-water-ammonia(8∶2∶6∶0.5∶0.12) as developing agent and detected by dualwavelength reflection sawtooth scanning(?s=254 nm and ?R=300 nm).RESULTS:Adenosine,Uracil and Uridnine had good linearity in the ranges of 11.16～58.03 ?g(r= 0.998 5),1.04～6.24 ?g(r=0.991 5) and 0.8～4.8 ?g(r=0.991 2) respectively,and their average recovery rates were 95.559%,96.366% and 95.270% and RSD were 0.74%,0.73% and 0.98% respectively(n=6).CONCLUSION: The method is simple,accurate,reproducible,and can be used as the quality control of Cordyceps sinensis preparation.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of blood recovery in the heart valve replacement surgery of adults. Methods Selected 556 patients accepted cardiac valve replacement surgery from May 2008 to April 2012 in our hospital,and divid-ed into control group(278 cases)and observation group(278 cases)according to the way of intraoperative blood transfusion patients in observation group underwent autologous blood recovery and patients in control group underwent without autologous blood recov-ery,the clinical parameters were observed and statistically analyzed.Results The differences of blood routine after 24 h(such as he-moglobin,hematocrit,platelets,etc.)and blood gas analysis(such as pH,potassium ions,lactic acid,etc.)between two groups were not significantly different,which is statistically insignificant(P >0.05);the postoperative chest drainage of patients in observation group was not significantly different from that of patients in control group,which was statistically insignificant(P >0.05);the a-mount of banked blood in observation group(263.83 ± 19.23)mL was significantly lower than that in control group(615.24 ± 20.34)mL,the difference between two groups was statistically significant(P <0.05).Conclusion In heart valve replacement sur-gery of adults,blood recovery can effectively add blood volume,reduce autologous blood loss,and significantly reduce the amount of banked blood input,which is worthy of promotion.
