Emodin is the main effective monomer of Rhubarb, which has a variety of pharmacological actions and valuable clinical applications.Recently, there are many reports about molecular mechanisms of emodin pharmacological actions,and they givehighly attention on the dephlogisticating and antineoplastic effects. These effects are achieved through affecting the concentration and transportation of ions, resisting of oxidation and free radical, and affecting the secretion of inflammatory factor and the enzyme activity and apoptosis and so on. This article summarizes the reports and hopes to provide theoretical basis for the practical application.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze the deacetylation of histone and nonhistone proteins. They play important roles in regulating chromatin remodeling and gene transcription,and that aberrant chromatin remodeling and transcriptional dysregulation are associated with many neurodegenerative diseases. Preclinical studies have suggested that histone deacetylases inhibitors (HDACIs) can target diverse pathophysiologies of ischemic stroke,not only reduce neuronal damage and infarct volume,but also promote the neuronal plasticity and functional recovery after ischemia. This article mainly reviews the neuroprotective mechanisms of HDACIs in ischemic stroke.

Objective To observe the effect of local curettage combined with ointment in fistula applying in refractory apical fistula.Methods 56 cases of patients with refractory apical fistula one month after faultless root cannal therapy divided into group A and B by lottery,with 28 cases in each group.Local curettage combined with ointment in fistula applying in group A,and no processing applying in group B.One year fellow up was given to every patient to compare the effect between the two groups.Results All the 28 cases of patients with refractory apical fistu-la were recovering in three months.The improvement rate was 100%,recovery rate 100%,and the mean time of fistula disappearing was (0.5 ±0.1)months,time of shadow around root tip disappearing (2.5 ±0.7)months.Four cases in group B were improved in three months,three cases in six months and one case in nine months,with two cases recove-ring.The improvement rate was 28.57%,recovery rate was 7.14%,and the mean time of fistula disappearing was (5.0 ±0.7)months,time of shadow around root tip disappearing (9.4 ±1.0)months.The improvement rate in group A was higher than that in group B (χ2 =33.749,P<0.05),recovery rate in group A was higher than that in group B (χ2 =49.727,P<0.05).The mean time of fistula disappearing in group A was shorter than that in group B (t=3.081,P<0.05),mean time of shadow around root tip disappearing in group A was shorter than that in group B (t=5.042,P<0.05).Conclusion It was effective to apply local curettage combined with ointment in fistula applying in refractory apical fistula,and it is worthy of clinical popularization.

Objective To investigate effect of platelet-associated antibody to the platelet transfusion.Methods Platelet-associated antibody in 120 patients who needed repeated platelet transfusion for long-time was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and platelet count was assayed before and after blood transfusion,and the effect of platelet transfusion was investigated by corrected platelet count.Crossmatch approcah was used to screen compatible platelet for patients with platelet relative antibody positive.Results The ratio of positive platelet-aasociated antibody in patients who needed repeated platelet transfusion was 65.0％,and the ratio of platelet transfusion resistance was 61.7％.The ratios of platelet transfusion resistance were 84.6％ and 19.0％ respectively in patients with positive platelet-associated antibody and in patients with negative platelet-associated antibody,which were different in statistic in both groups( x2 =,46.914,P ＜0.0l ).The effective ratio of platelet transfusion in patients with positive platelet-associated antibody after crossmatch approach was 85.9％.Conclusion Positive platelet-associated antibody was related to platelet transfusion resistance with high risk,and crossmatch approach could increase the effect of platelet transfusion.

Objective To study the effect of different transfusion measures on the clinical outcome in preterm infants.Methods 100 cases of blood transfusion in preterm infants were chosen.They were divided into restrictive transfusion group and non-restrictive transfusion group.The clinical outcomes of infants were recorded.Results The Hct of children with restrictive transfusion group pre-transfusion was(27.97±4.86) ％,which was significantly lower than pre-transfusion Hct of non-restrictive transfusion group(34.51±6.34) ％.The difference was statistically significant(t =3.78,P ＜ 0.05).The differences of each transfusion value,each blood transfusion and transfusion times for the two groups of infants were not statistically significant(t =0.59,0.37,0.68,all P ＞ 0.05).The invasive ventilator of the non-restrictive transfusion group was(5.73±4.95)d,significantly less than the restrictive transfusion group(7.61±5.72) d.The difference was statistically significant(t =2.36,P ＜ 0.05).The differences for the rest of the clinical outcomes for the two groups of infants were not statistically significant(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The reducing of non-restrictive transfusion invasive ventilator time may be more conducive to clinical recovery in preterm infants.The clinical should not blindly adopt conservative restrictive transfusion countermeasures.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical significance of determination on homocysteine in serum of pediatric idiopathic epilepsy. MethodsThe homocysteine level in serum of 81 patients with pediatric idiopathic epilepsy was determined,and the value of normal children was tested and compared as control. ResultsThe concentration of Hey in research group was from 7.6mol/L to 22.0μmol/L,the mean value was(15.91 ±2.38)μmol/L,The concentration of Hcy in control group was from 3μmol/L to 9μmol/L,and the mean value was(6.87 ± 1.75)μmol/L.which showed a significant difference(P＜0.05).By comparison,the high concentration(＞15 μmol/L)of Hcy in control group was only 6 cases,while it was 73 cases in research group,which also showed a significant difference (P＜0.05). ConclusionHcy level was apparently relevant with occurring rate of pediatric idiopathic epilepsy.In the diagnosed clinical treatment of idiopathic epilepsy,the closely monitor of serum level of homocysteine,and timely promoting Hcy metabolism.should be carried out.
