Aim To study the inhibitory effect of Oxymatrine-Baicailin compound on the secretion of hepatitis B viral antigens in HepG 2.2.2.15 cells.Methods HepG2.2.2.15 cells were cultured and treated with a series of Oxymatrine,Baicailin,or Oxymatrine-Baicailin compound respectively.The toxicity effect was determined by MTT colorimetry.Con-tents of the hepatitis surface antigen(HBsAg) and hepatitis e antigen(HBeAg) in the culture supernatants were determined by Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.Results Oxymatrine at concentrations between 0.125 and 1 g?L~(-1) had little toxicity effect on cells,but Oxymatrine at 2 g?L~(-1) and 4 g?L~(-1) had much more toxicity effect on cells.The inhibitory effect of Oxymatrine on HBsAg and HBeAg increased in a dose-dependent manner from 0.125 to 1 g?L~(-1).The toxicity of Baicailin on cells increased from 0.625 to 2 g?L~(-1),especially when the dose surpassed 1 g?L~(-1).The inhibitory effect of Baicailin on HBsAg and HBeAg increased in a dose-dependent manner from 0.125 to 1 g?L~(-1),but its efficacy was inferior to Oxymatrine's efficacy.Oxymatrine-Baicailin compound had good inhibitory effect on hepatitis B viral antigens secretion,and the inhibition effect of the compound on HBeAg was superior to the effect on HBsAg.The Group C Oxymatrine-Baicailin compound had good synergism inhibition effect on hepatitis B viral antigens secretion and the inhibition rate of the specific group compound was significantly superior to that of Oxymatrine treatment alone(HBsAg:P=0.043;HBeAg: P=0.026).Conclusion Oxymatrine-Baicailin compound has good synergism effect on hepatitis B viral antigens secretion in HepG2.2.2.15 cells.

ObjectiveTo study the relation of phonation and respiration in normal subjects. MethodsUsing Aerophone Ⅱ Model 6800 and Visipitch 6097, vital capacity was recorded first , then the simultaneous phonation volume, maximum sustain phonation time,mean airflow rate,sound pressure level and average pitch were recorded in order to induce the relation of phonation and respiration in normal subjects. ResultsThere was a linear correlation between phonation volume and vital capacity. Maximum sustain phonation time varied with changes of mean airflow rate and phonation volume and mean airflow rate varied little in different subjects and had no relation with average pitch and sound intensity. ConclusionMaximum phonation time, the mean airflow rate and ratio of phonation volume to vital capacity can be used as indicator in clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and toxicities of three dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for advanced esophageal carcinoma. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 127 patients with advanced esophageal squamous carcinoma in our department from January 2008 to January 2011,who were divided into two groups:conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy(RCT) group,69 patients and radiotherapy(RT)group,58 patients. The side effects,quality of life and effective rates of them were compared. Results The severe rate of the marrow toxic effect and the incidences of radia-tion-induced esophagitis were higher in the RCT group(29. 0% vs 12. 1% ,χ2 = 5. 387,P = 0. 020;24. 6% vs 10. 3% ,χ2 = 4. 341,P = 0. 037). Patients in the RT group had better quality of life than those in the RCT group in gastrointestinal side effects(nausea,vomiting,diarrhea)and food intake(73. 9% vs 12. 1% ,χ2 =48. 574,P = 0. 000;43. 5% vs 25. 9% ,χ2 = 4. 274,P = 0. 039). In the RCT group,the effective rate was 91. 30%(63 / 69)and 72. 41 %(42 / 58)in the RT group,with a statistical significance(χ2 = 7. 852,P =0. 005). Conclusion Three dimensional conformal radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy for advanced esophageal carcinoma can improve the short-term curative effects,but it also increase the acute toxic effect. Further follow-up studies are needed for its long-term effect.

Casein was hydrolysed with sulphuric acid under pressure and the hydrolysate was oxidized and nitrated by a mixture of sulphuric acid and potassium nitrate. After decolorization and neutralization to pH 4, the residue was removed by filtration.After adjusting the filtrate to pH 6.8 and supplementing it with tryp-tophane, cystine, methionine, and tyrosine, it was used as the source of amino acids ill the preparation of the medium for the microbiological assay of phenyl-aianine with Lactobacillus ardbinosus 17-5 as test microorganism.The standard curve shows that the medium is almost free from active phenyl-alanine, for blank values are of the same magnitude as those of a synthetic medium.Increasing the quantity of nitrated casein hydrolysate from 8 g. to 10 g. doesnot cause any difference in acid production. Further supplementation of themedium with fustidine, arginine, and lysine is also without effect.The results obtained by analyses of several foods with the present medium and the findings of Sauberlich and Baumann (1946), and Schweigert (1944) are in

Objective To investigate the effect of mytomycin C in the operation of dacryocystorhinostomy for curing lacrimal passage obstruction. Method Forty-one patients with traumatic lacrimal passage obstruction were divided into treatment group (n=21, 14 males and 7 females with an average age of 32) and control group. (n=20, 12 males and 8 females with an average age of 35). The patients in treatment group received 0.4mg/ml of mytomycin C when undergoing dacryocystorhinostomy, while the patients in control group received no medicine when undergoing the same operation. Lacrimal passage was cleaned with water after operation, and the operational effectiveness of dacryocystorhinostomy were compared between the treatment group and control group. Results Twenty-one eyes were cured in treatment group, and the cure rate reached 100%. While for the 20 eyes in control group, 17 eyes were cured, and the cure rate was 85%. There existed statistical significance between the two groups (P

AIM: To compare the effect of s. miltiorrhize bunge injection (SMBI) and s. przewalsii maxim injection (SPMI) on acute focal cerebral ischemia in rats, and to study the mechanism of the actions of two agents. METHODS: Acute focal cerebral ischemia model was made by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats, and cerebral infarction volume was determined quantitatively by computer microscopical image analysis instruments. MDA content in serum was determined by TBA colorimetric analysis. SOD content in serum was studied by radioimmunity method. The scavenging effect of hydroxyl radical (?OH) was measured by electron spin resonance technique (ESR). RESULTS: SMBI and SPMI could markedly reduce infarction volume after occlusion of middle cerebral artery and MDA content in serum in rats. SMBI could elevate SOD content in serum. Two injections could markedly inhibit the formation of hydroxyl radical (?OH),and the effect of SPMI was better than that of SMBI. CONCLUSION: The effects of both SMBI and SPMI are similar, and it is possible that SPMI as a satisfactory substitute for SMBI.

BACKGROUND: At present, there are different strategies for treating unsteable osteochondritis dissecans of the knee joint in adolescents, but their therapeutic effects are not ideal. OBJECTIVE: To assess the therapeutic effect of bioabsorbable pin fixation on functional recovery and fracture healing in juvenile unstable osteochondritis dissecans through Lysholm, IKDC, Hughston scoring and imaging examination. METHODS: Eighteen patients with unstable osteochondritis dissecans were enrol ed. Under arthroscopy, a smal incision was localized and cut fol owed by bioabsorbable pin fixation. The average fol ow-up period was 2.7 years. Functional recovery of the affected limbs after fixation was assessed by using Lysholm, IKDC and Hughston scoring. X-ray examination was used to observe fracture healing. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 6 months after fixation, the Lysholm and IKDC scores were improved significantly as compared with those before operation and maintained til the last fol owing up. There were 15 patients scored as excel ent, 2 as good and 1 as poor. X-ray films also showed that there were 17 cases of fracture healing (94% healing rate). The average fracture healing time was 2.9 months. These findings indicate that the bioabsorbable pins can improve the bone healing in juvenile unstable osteochondritis dissecans.
