The effect of solubilization of phospholipid component of Chinese medicines on other active components in decoction is reported in this paper. The experi ment result showed that the dissolution rate of ephedrine and chlorogenic acid increased obviously as the content of phospholipid component in decoction rose.

With the tracer colloidal lanthanum,light micro- scope and transmission electron microscope in animal experiments,we studied the retinal pigment epithe- lium(RPE)barrier of 48 moderately severe cryoge- nic lesions on the retina of 21 rabbit eyes at dif- ferent intervals after cryopexy.Our findings showed that:1.the repair of disrupted RPE barrier by cryopexy was poor or incomplete,the regenerated RPE cells in restored RPE barrier of some cryogenic lesions showed degeneration and decompensation dur- ing the recovery period,and the tracer in choroidal capillaries leaked into the degenerated RPE cells and the subretinal space;2.the biologic effect of cryo- pexy on the retina was closely related to the acting time and the size of cryoapplication probe;and 3. the damaged grade of subretinal space caused by moderately severe cryopexy was comparable to Lincoff and Kreissig's criteria,but it was not absolute.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of methylprednisolone injection and magnesium sulfate injection in the treatment of severe bronchial asthma and the impact on inflammatory cytokines.Methods 87 cases of severe bronchial asthma were selected for the study,and they were divided into two groups according to the order of admission,the control group (43 cases ) was given methylprednisolone treatment,while the observation group (44 cases)was given methylprednisolone injection and magnesium sulfate treatment.The clinical treatment and inflammatory cytokine levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results The effective rate of the observation group was 93.18%,which was higher than 74.42% of the control group,the difference was significant(χ2 =10.33,P <0.05 ).After treatment,pulmonary functions of the observation group [FVC (3.72 ± 0.42)L,FEV1 (2.72 ±0.32)L and PEF(3.48 ±0.49)L/s]were increased significantly than before treatment(t =7.87,7.81,8.41,all P <0.05),and had significant differences compared with the control group(t =6.93,7.44, 7.20,all P <0.05).After treatment,inflammatory cytokines indicators of the observation group[IL -6 (67.44 ± 0.43)μg/L,TNF -α(80.32 ±7.34)ng/L,hs -CRP(3.32 ±0.89)mg/L]were significantly increased than before treatment(t =6.85,7.41,7.33,all P <0.05),compared with the control group,the differences were significant(t =6.55,7.04,6.45,all P <0.05).Conclusion The methylprednisolone combination with magnesium sulfate in treat-ment of severe bronchial asthma had significant effect,and it can effectively improve the airway inflammation,promote lung function in patients'recovery,and it has great clinical value.

The IR determination of phospholipid content in Semen Zizyphi Spinosae and Fructus Psoraleae, both of which are tonics,was reported for the first time.In this method,using PC as standard sample, chloroform as solvent and the absorption band of P-O-C bond as measurement wavelength,the ab- sorptive degree was linear for concentration in ranging from 0.6mg/ml to 4.0mg/ml.The standard deviation was 0.0682.CV was 1。69%。Compared with the result obtained by colorimetric assay, this method was simpler,its result was more stable.

Objective To discuss application value of intestinal electromyography in patients with hepatic cirrhosis and to observe intestinal myoeletric activity.Methods There were 65 cases of hepatic cirrhosis in expermental group and 30 cases in control group. All the cases were recorded body surface intestinal electromyography using gastrointestinal myoelectric analyzer(WCDF-4B, Hefei , P.R.China). The parameters included average peak range-Ap, main frequency-Fp, average over zero frequency-Fz and special wave form were surveyed.Results Sharp higher Fz abnormal rate and emergence rate of special wave form in hepatic cirrhosis group were higher than in control group,P0 05.Conclusions In hepatic cirrhosis group,Fz was much higher than that in control group. And the intestinal myoelectric activity increased in the patients with hepatic cirrhosis,which represented by appearance of characteristic wave form that was frequent micromigration wave as well as load wave. Those changes accounted for heighten and irregularity of excitability intestinal myoelectric activity. Moreover, it will increase for the incidence of abnormality of intestinal myoelectric activity along with damage degree of hepatic function. Intestinal electromyography is a reliable method to judge intestinal myoelectric activity, the method has characteristics of harmless,free pain, convenient, safty and steady.

Objective To study the protective effects of ulinastatin (UTI) on canine islets isolated by automated method and to determine whether the addition of UTI during the in situ pancreatic perfusion process may improve islet recovery. Methods There was no significant difference in donor-related factors (age, gender, warm ischemia time, cold storage time, weight and pancreas weight) between the two experimental groups. Twenty donors were randomly divided into two groups. Pancreases were in situ perfused via abdominal aorta using cold hypertonic citric potassium solution (HC-A) 2 500 ml, group 1 (HC-A group, n =10). The pancreases were perfused with cold HC-A and UTI ( 10 000 U/kg), group 2 (HC-A+UTI group, n =10). Intraductal collagenase V (4℃) delivery with controlled perfusion was done, the pancreas was dissociated in system of Ricordi Chamber and their purified islets were separated with Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. The digestion time, islets remaining trapped in exocrine tissue, final islet purity, insulin and C-pep secretory activity, and islet recovery were observed. The purified islets were observed under light microscopy and electronic microscopy. Results UTI supplementation did not affect the digestion time, islets remaining trapped in exocrine tissue, final islet purify, insulin and C-pep secretory activity and their ultrastructure, and islet recovery was increased. In the HC-A+UTI group the yield of islets was [( 6.17 ? 2.86 )?10 4] IEQ, while in the HC-A group, that was [( 3.42 ? 1.47 )?10 4] IEQ ( P

Objective To investigate the characteristics of optical coherence tomography (OCT) in eyes with repaired idiopathic macular hole (IMH) after operation and the relation with recovery of visual acuity. Methods The characteristics of OCT images of 24 patients (25 eyes) with repaired IMH after vitrectomy,internal limiting membrane(ILM)peeling and auto-serum healing were analyzed retrospectively. In the patients with IMH, the macular hole was found in 9 eyes at stage Ⅱ, 13 eyes at stage Ⅲ, and 3 eyes at stage Ⅳ. Examinations of best-corrected visual acuity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy with fundus contact lens, fundus photography, fundus fluorescein angiography(FFA) and OCT were performed on the patients 3 to 24 months after surgery. Results OCT images of the repaired IMH were categorized into 3 patterns: U-type (5 eyes) with relative normal foveal contour; V-type (7 eyes) with steep foveal contour;W-type (13 eyes) with foveal defect of neurosensory retina, but without warped hem of retinal hole or cystic formation. Postoperative visual acuities were improved in all of the patients and the best ones were in group U-type. Conclusion Characteristics of OCT images of repaired IMH may be related to the postoperative visual acuity.

This paper deals with the analysis of the phospholipids and fatty acids in Hippocomnpus kelloggi Jordan et Synder, H. Histrix Kaup, II. trimaculalus Leach, II. kuda Bleeder, II. japonicus Kaup, Solenognathus hardwickii(Gray), Syngnathoides biacufcatus(Bloch) and Tracliyrliamphus serralus (Temminck &. Schlegel).The total phospholipids were extracted with Folch solvent and determined by molybdate blue spec-trophotometric method. The result showed that the contents of total phospholipids in these spccimins were 2. 56-7. 82mg/g.The nine kinds of phospholipid standards of absorbance proportional coefficient were detected in this paper. The phospholipid components were separated and determined by using thin - layer chro-matographic method and Vaskovsky solvent as a specific spray reagent. The quantitative analysis of the distribution of various phospholipids components in these specimen ts were carried out, by using TLC scanning and the corrective method of absorbance proportional coefficient. The resut showed that the Hippocampus contains about five phospholipids: lysophosphatidylcholine, sphingornyelin, phophatidylcholine, phosphatidylinositol, and phosphatidylethanolamine. The phosphatidylserine , phosphatidylglycerol, diphosphatidylglycerol and phosphatidic acid were more in Syugnathus than in Hippocampus, But in all these specimens, the main phospholipid components were lysophos- phatidylcholine, sphingornyelin and phosphatidylcholine.Fourteen fatty acid compositions in these specimens were analysed by GC -MS -DS. The result showed that the main fatty acid were hexadecanoic acid, 9 - octadecenoic acid, 8,11- octadeca-dienoic acid and 1,7,10,13,16,19 - docosahexaenoic acid.
