OBJECTIVE: To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of the contents of salicylic acid and nitrofural in Fu-La pastes.METHODS: A dual-wavelength spectrophotometry was adopted for the determination of the contents of salicylic acid and nitrofural with water used as solvent.The content of salicylic acid was determined with the detective wavelength set at 296.6 nm and the reference wavelength set at 314.4 nm.The content of the nitrofural was determined directly with the detective wavelength set at 375.0 nm.RESULTS: The linear ranges of salicylic acid and nitrofural were 10.77～43.08 ?g?mL-1(r=0.999 0) and 2.58～10.32 ?g?mL-1(r=1.000 0),respectively;and their average recovery rates were 99.55%(RSD=0.47%) and 100.03%(RSD=0.80%),respectively.CONCLUSION: The method is simple,rapid and accurate,and suitable for the quality control of Fu-La pastes.

Objective: To explore the effects of 17 β-estradiol (E2) and 2-methoxyestradiol (2ME) on endothelium-1/nitric oxide (ET-1/NO) cascade in experimental rats with hypoxic pulmonary hypertension. Methods: A total of 48 female SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:①Sham operation group,②Ovariectomy (OVX) group,③Hypoxia group,④OVX+hypoxia group,⑤OVX+hypoxia+E2 group, the rats received subcutaneous E2 at 20μg/(kg?d) and⑥OVX+hypoxia+2ME group, the rats received subcutaneous 2ME at 240μg/(kg?d).n=8 in each group. Blood levels of ET-1, NO, eNOS activity and the expressions of pulmonary tissue endothelium A receptor (ETAR), ETBR and eNOS were compared among different groups. Results: Compared with Sham operation group, Hypoxia and OVX+hypoxia groups showed small pulmonary artery thickening with lumen narrowing, increased mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP), allP<0.01; the above morphological and mPAP changes were reduced by E2 and 2ME intervention. Compared with Sham operation group, OVX and Hypoxia groups had increased blood ET-1 and pulmonary mRNA, protein expressions of ETAR, decreased pulmonary ETBR, all P<0.01; the above changes were more obvious in OVX+hypoxia group; E2 and 2ME intervention reduced blood ET-1 and pulmonary ETAR expression, but they were still higher than Sham operation group, meanwhile, ETBR expression was elevated, but it was still lower than Sham operation group, allP<0.01; blood ET-1 was lower in OVX+hypoxia+2ME group than OVX+hypoxia+E2 group,P<0.05. Compared with Sham operation group, OVX group had decreased pulmonary eNOS protein expression,P<0.01; Hypoxia group had decreased blood NO and pulmonary eNOS protein expression,P<0.05 orP<0.01; OVX+hypoxia group had decreased blood NO, eNOS activity and decreased pulmonary mRNA and protein expressions of eNOS, allP<0.01; E2 and 2ME intervention elevated the above indexes,P<0.05 orP<0.01, but they were still lower than Sham operation group, allP<0.05. Conclusion: E2 and 2ME could decrease blood ET-1 and pulmonary ETAR expression, increase pulmonary ETBR expression; elevate blood NO, eNOS activity and pulmonary eNOS expression. E2 and 2ME may partially reverse pulmonary hypertension via improving ET-1/NO cascade in experimental rats.

Objective To investigate the effect of leptin on transcription factor nuclear-κB (NF-κB) activity of pancreatic tissue and blood inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α,IL-1β) in severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into three groups, including sham group (group A, n = 12), AP model group(group B, n = 12) and Leptin treatment group (group C, n = 12). SAP was induced by intraductal injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. Exogenous leptin was injected I. P. Fifteen minutes later. The concentration of serum amylase, leptin, TNF-α, IL-1βwere measured by radioimmunoassay 6 hours later. NF-κB activity of the pancreatic tissue were measured by immunohistochemistry. The changes of pathology of the pancreas were observed. Results The levels of serum amylase, cytokine TNF-αand IL-1βwere significantly reduced in group C, and the levels of serum leptin were significantly increased in group C. NF-κB activity in the pancreatic tissue in group B were significantly higher than that in group A. However, NF-κB activity of the pancreatic tissue in group C were significantly lower than that in group B. Furthermore, the extent of necrosis of the pancreatic tissue was re-lieved. Conclusion Exogenous leptin protected the rats pancreas against damage by sodium taurocholate. The protective effects of exoge-nous leptin were attributive to the reduction in cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β. The possible protective mechanism was that leptin decreased NF-κB activity.

Mai is the important concept in TCM and this term has been found in the early classic work of TCM. With the development and perfection of TCM theory, the original meaning of mai is "blood vessels entirely distrusted in the body". In five dynasties, the meaning of it was supplemented as "distribution of qi and blood in five zang and six fu organs to the four extremities", in which, not only blood but also qi has been included. With the constant understanding on mai, qi and blood, the unique concept of meridian and collateral is gradually generated. In terms of the modern study on the original meaning of mai and the academic evolution of meridian and collateral, it is discovered that qi is predominated and distributed in meridian and collateral as compared with blood. It is very significant to study the original meaning and academic evolution of mai, as well as the origin of the concept of meridian and collateral and to provide the reference support for the terminology standardization and basic study.

Objective To explore the more than 80-year-old age patients laparoscopic cholecystectomy clinical curative effects and complications.Methods More than 260 cases of 80-year-old require cholecystectomy older patients,patients with detailed records related history,select one of the 200 patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy to treatment,the rest of the 60 patients to do open cholecystectomy treatment,to observe the clinical curative effect of the two groups ; For patients with laparoscopic group in postoperative patients according to whether there was the occurrence of complications were divided into two groups,using multiple factors regression analysis the factors caused by complications.Results Laparoscopic surgery group blood loss,operative time,length of hospital stay,drainage time,lead flow,the surgical incision length were (62.7 ± 60.3) ml,(62.7 ± 21.4) ml,(5.6 ± 1.3) d,(3.6 ± 0.7) d,(174.4 ± 121.4)ml,(4.9 ± 1.2)cm,open group were (210.4 ± 120.4)ml,(115.7 ±30.4)ml,(8.8 ±3.4)d,(6.2 ± 2.5) d,(318.2 ± 132.5) ml,(12.2 ± 1.4) cm,two groups of various observation indexes were statistically significant differences (t =3.16,4.16,2.18,3.16,2,56,5.18,P ＜ 0.05).Laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients in 200 cases of 6 patients with complications (3.0％),single factor analysis results showed that:age,diabetes history,operation time and blood loss,drainage laparoecopic cholecystectomy complications had a correlation (P ＜ 0.05) ;Multiple factors analysis results showed that:with the age increasing,diabetes history was laparoscopic cholecystectomy complications independent risk factor (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion For age more than 80 years patients,laparoscopic cholecystectomy down than open surgery has good curative effect,its complications are the main factors for increased age and always have diabetes history.

Objective: To investigate the effect of inhibitng C-myc expression by actinomycin D on intimal hy-perplasia in vein graft. Methods: The vein graft model was established in rats. The different dises of actinomycin D (0.015 mg/kg; 0.15 mg/kg) were given just before and after operation. The vein grafts were harvested at 2 hrs and 1 week after grafting. C-myc mRNA was measured by in situ hybridization method. The intimal thickness was measured using a computerised image analysis system. Results: The expression of C-myc mRNA and the intimal thickness were both significantly reduced in large dose (0.15 mg/kg) group of actinomycin D, with 6.5%; 18.7 μm compared with control group in 12.5%; 28.5 μm respectively. Conclusion: Actinomycin D can inhibit expression of C-myc mRNA and intimal hyperplasia in graft. Expression of C-myc plays an important role in inducing proliferation of smooth muscle cell in vein graft.

BACKGROUND:Transoral ventral release and posterior fusion have predominated in the treatment of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation, but there is no consistent conclusion on the clinical efficacy.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical outcomes of transoral ventral release and posterior fusion and screw/rod implantation in the treatment of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation.
METHODS:A total of 32 patients with irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation undergoing thetransoral ventral release and posterior fusion were selected. After treatment, they received cervical anteroposterior and lateral digital DR and cervical MRI examinations to understand the conditions of nerve compression and bone fusion. The recovery of nerve function was evaluated using Japanese Orthopaedic Association before treatment, 6 months after treatment and during final fol ow-up.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Post-treatment, 29 patients were fol owed-up for an average period of 12 months. (1) Al the patients obtained perfect atlantoaxial joint reduction and bone fusion. This achieved reduction and reconstruction of spinal column stability. (2) Spinal compression was obviously lessened after treatment in al patients, and nerve functions were improved to different degrees. Significant differences in Japanese Orthopaedic Association score were detected between 6 months post-treatment, final fol ow-up and pre-treatment (P<0.05). (3) There were no serious intraoperative complications such as spinal cord or vertebral artery injuries. Postoperative complications such as infection or burst were also not found. (4) Imaging evaluation revealed that transoral ventral release and posterior fusion is safe and effective for treatment of irreducible atlantoaxial dislocation.
