This article was aimed to study the effect of pinellia combined with prunella vulgarisin of different ratios on the extraction yield of trigonellin and uracil, in order to investigate the changing disciplines and reasonable com-bination of Shuangxia Soup. A Welch Ultimate AQ-C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used in the study. The mobile phase, consisting of solvent A (water) and solvent B (acetonitrile) was programmed as a linear gradi-ent. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. And the detection wavelength was 265 nm. The column temperature was 25℃. HPLC was used in the determination of extraction yield of trigonellin and uracil for the comparison among different compatibilities. The results showed that the linearity was achieved in the range of 0.872-4.36 ng for trigonelline, and 10.8-50.4 ng for uracil. The average recoveries were 96.53%-101.48%, with RSD of 0.18%-4.26%. Com-pared with pinellia, the extraction yield of trigonelline was reduced and the extraction yield of uracil was increased after the compatibility. It was concluded that different compatibilities of Shuangxia Soup had effects on the extrac-tion yield of trigonelline and uracil. The best compatibility ratio still requires in-depth study.

Objective: To compare the difference of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT),3-D imensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) for patients with upper esophageal carcinoma. Methods: Ten patients with upper esophageal carcinoma were treated by intensity modulated radiation therapy and 3-D imensional conformal radiation therapy at the same TPS, the difference of exposure dose between target area and critical organ was compared by dose volume histogram(DVH) with the plan target volume (PTV) must reach 95% of the prescription dose. Results: There was significant difference in dose of 95% plan target volume (PTV) (P <0.05) IMRT better than 3D-CRT. For two target conformal index and the prescription dose coverage of GTV percentage IMRT was better than 3DCRT. IMRT reduced maximum dose of spinal cord (P <0.05). There was no difference in the dose of lung and heart (P >0.05). Compared with 3D-CRT, IMRT planning has better dose distribution and protection of normal tissue. Conclusions: IMRT was better than 3DCRT, IMRT is the best radiation therapy.

Cold acclimation can improve freezing tolerance. Here cDNA amplified fragment length polymorphism (cDNA-AFLP) was used to isolate differentially expressed cDNAs and a Pp-LIM only A cDNA was isolated and identified in the cold acclimation of Physcomitrella patens. Real-time RT-PCR indicated it is obviously up-regulated at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after cold acclimation. After comparing the cDNA with the gene sequence, seven introns and eight exons were identified in the cDNA. The cDNA putatively encodes a protein of 345 amino acid residues and only contains one LIM domain which has highly similarity with the PDZ/LIM domains of the protein family in animals. We proposed that Pp-LIM only A be a new gene coding for the LIM-domain containing protein and enhance stability of cell membrane via their effects on cytoskeleton during cold acclimation in P. patens.

This article was aimed to study the sedative and hypnotic effects of different eluents of Shuangxiatang (SXT). The effects of SXT water decoction, water eluent, 20%, 70% and 95% alcohol eluent on spontaneous ac-tivity and the sleeping induced by subthreshold dose of pentobarbital sodium were measured. The results showed that the SXT decoction, 20% and 95% alcohol eluent can significantly decrease the number of rearing in mice with the percentage of 78.5%, 78.3% and 62.5%, respectively. SXT water eluent and 70% alcohol eluent can significantly decrease the spontaneous activity of mice (P < 0.01), the number of rearing (P < 0.01) and grooming time (P < 0.05). SXT water decoction can significantly shorten sleep latency (P < 0.05), prolong sleep time (P <0.05), and increase rates of sleeping in mice. SXT water eluent can significantly shorten sleep latency in mice (P< 0.05), increase rates of sleeping in mice. SXT water decoction and water eluent have the sedative and hypnotic effects. And the effects are more than alcohol eluents.

This article was aimed to study effect of D-ribose on the high-energy phosphate metabolism of skeletal muscle tissues of tired mice. The model was made by burden swimming. And then, the mice were divided into four groups, which were the model group, D-ribose group, caffeine group, and D-ribose with caffeine group). Intragastric administrations of drugs were given to all mice in four groups, three times per day. And all mice continued to swim for three days. The time of swimming was recorded. Gastrocnemius of mice were removed after swimming or 3 days later to measure the concentration of ATP, ADP, AMP and IMP with the HPLC. The results showed that compared with the control group, the time of burden s wimming was significantly prolonged for mice in the D-ribose group and the D-ribose with caffeine group. After three-day recovery, the concentration of ATP, AMP and IMP of gastrocnemius in the D-ribose group and the D-ribose with caffeine group mice was significantly increased. There was no significant difference in the caffeine group mice. It was concluded that D-ribose is involved in the high-energy phosphate metabolism of skeletal muscle tissues of tired mice . D-ribose promotes the recovery of ATP concentration in the gastrocnemius of tired mice, and prolongs the time of burden swimming. Therefore, it has a certain anti-fatigue effect .

On the basis of pre-experiment research and the hypothesis of“amputated lumbricus”, this research was aimed to explore mechanism of active components of the amputated lumbricus to promote wound healing. Skin excision was used to establish the mice model. The amputated lumbricus extract was prepared. HE staining and immunohistochemistry techniques were used in the determination of the wound healing rate and changes of VEGF, bFGF, TGF-β1 expression during wound healing period. The results showed that compared with the blank control group, the healing rate of the amputated lumbricus extract group was better. And the HE staining showed better improvement of traumatic tissues. There was no statistic differences on the expression of VEGF and TGF-β1 between the amputated lumbricus extract group and the normal saline group (P> 0.05). The expression of bFGF in amputated lumbricus extract group reached peak earlier than the control group and also lasted a longer time. The amputated lumbricus extract group reached peak on the first day, which had a significant difference (P < 0.05) compared with the control group at the same timepoint. It was concluded that the external application of amputated lumbricus extract had wound healing effect on traumatic skin of mice. Its mechanism may be irrelevant to the expression of VEGF and TGF-β1. However, it may be related to the increasing of bFGF expression in the injured regions during the inflammation stage and proliferation stage.

Objective To study the effects of Panax Notoginseng Saponins (PNS) on the damaged expression of ZO-1 of brain microvascular endothelial cells caused by Aβ42.MethodsBrain microvascular endothelial cells were divided into normal control group, model group, PNS low-, medium- and high concentration groups. They were incubated for 24h in 5% CO2 incubator at 37℃ . Then cell vitality was detected by MTT colorimetric method and ZO-1 protein expression was tested by Western blot.Results Stimulation of Aβ42 reduced the activity of microvascular endothelial cells (P<0.01) and suppressed the expression of ZO-1 protein (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the activity of microvascular endothelial cells of PNS groups, especially the high and medium dose groups (P<0.05), and increased the ZO-1 protein expression. Conclusion PNS can partly recover the barrier function of blood brain barrier through inhibiting the decrease of the activity of microvascular endothelial cells caused by Aβ42.
