Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect ofHuoxue-Buqi-Qutan decoction for vertigo due to vertebrobasilar insufficiency.Methods A total of 120 patients with vertigo due to vertebrobasilar insufficiency (VBI) were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 60 patients in each group. The treatment group was treated withHuoxue-Buqi-Qutandecoction and the control group was treated with nimodipine injection. The clinical efficacy, the change of strength before and after treatment were observed; the mean blood flow velocities of the vertebrobasilar arteries were detected with transcranial Doppler.Results After the treatment, the total effective rate was 91.7% (55/60) and 80% (48/60) in the treatment group and the control group, respectively, with significant difference (χ2=12.234,P=0.001). The mean blood flow velocities of the basilar artery, left and right basilar arteries were significantly increased in both groups (tvalues were 2.909, 4.558, 5.424, 9.831 in the treatment group, and 8.388, 11.191 in the control group, allP<0.01), the improvements of the mean blood flow velocities in the treatment group were significant better than those in the control group (tvalues were 7.385, 6.940, 3.890, allP<0.01). The vertigo grade was improved in both groups after the treatment than those before the treatment, while the proportion of grade 0 and grade 3 in the treatment group was significantly better than the control group (χ2 values were 8.298, 4.5472,P=0.004, 0.033).ConclusionHuoxue-Buqi-Qutan decoction can obviously improve the vertebrobasilar blood supply and the vertigo grade in patients with vertigo due to VBI, and then improve the clinical efficacy.

Proinflammatory cytokines induced by peripheral immune challenge can activate the inflammatory reflex, which results in negative-feedback control of inflammation .Some recent studies revealed that it is the splanchnic nerve , not the vagus nerve , to constitute the efferent arm of the inflammatory reflex .Further researches are needed to iden-tify the neural construction and regulatory mechanism of the inflammatory reflex , which might be harnessed for the treatment of inflammation and the development of anti-inflammatory drugs .

Nowadays, AIDS becomes the serious public health and social pr ob lem. Discovering new anti-HIV active natural products from natural resources i s an important approach for new drug research and development. The paper review s the anti-HIV active natural products derived from marine microorganisms and m arine algae,and the anti-HIV active natural products' screening methods and ac tive targets.

Objective: To explore the difference of hot and cold property of Coptidis Rhizoma (CR) before and after being processed with ginger juice. Methods: To feed rats for 29 d with the decoction of un-processed CR (UPCR) and ginger juice-processed CR (GPCR), the rats' blood was collected at different administration time, the data by HPLC-MS/MS analysis were processed with PCA to determine the metabolites difference between the treatment groups. Results: On the day 29, the metabolic status of endogenous substances in rats' blood showed the biggest difference between the UPCR and GPCR groups. Through checking the endogenous biomarkers of the rats in each group, the content of markers related to amino acid energy metabolism of rats in the GPCR group was higher than that in the UPCR group, indicating the energy metabolism of the GPCR was stronger than that of the UPCR, which showed the differences in cold and hot property between the two drugs. Conclusion: The results show that the differences in potency of the UPCR and GPCR can be reflected by rats' different biological effects. The results are consistent with the traditional processing theory in Chinese materia medica that the cold property of CR could be moderated to be colder by processing with assistant materials with hot property (ginger juice). The work indicates that the metabonomic method is a valuable tool in the research of processing effect on properties of Chinese medicinal substances. The results are helpful to clarify the mechanism of processing CR with ginger juice in the future.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) antibody IgM positive with high titers.Methods Two hundred and sixty-seven cases of respiratory tract infections of MP with MP-IgM positive were confirmed in our hospital during Jun.2005 to Aug.2008,of which 63 cases with significantly increased titers of MP-IgM antibodies(MP-IgM≥1:1 280).A prospective observation and later analysis of the clinical manifestations of the 63 cases were carried out.Results 1.Among 63 cases,6 cases were diagnosed as upper respiratory tract infection,12 cases as acute bronchitis and 45 cases as pneumonia,respectively.2.The 63 cases pre-sented mainly with fever and cough,of them 59 cases had fever and 45 cases with paroxysmal cough,39 cases could be found crackles on physical examination.3.Extrapulmonary manifestations could be found in many cases,including heart complications in 21 cases,abnormal liver functions in 35 cases,gastrointestinal manifestations in 22 cases,neurological manifestations in 1 case,dermatological disorders in 7 cases and renal manifestations in 3 cases.4.Patterns of chest X-ray findings of the 63 cases with MP infections were varied,of which 45 cases showed pulmonary abnormality.Chest X-ray findings of the 45 children included 12 cases with interstitial infiltration,6 cases with lobar condensation,15 cases with patch shadows,4 cases with enlarged porta pulmonis and 8 cases with reticulonodular infiltrates.Three cases were complicated with pleural effusion and 2 children with segmental atelectasis.5.The cases were given azithromycin,10 mg/(kg?d),a daily dose for 5 days and intermitted for 4 days.All cases repeated the treatment courses for 1 to 4 times.The mean duration of fever was 6.6 days,cough could last 11.7 days and the crackles on physical examination could not be found 7.5 days later after treatment.The abnormality of chest X-ray findings dissolved in 38 cases 2-3 weeks later after treatment.Conclusions Cases of MP infections with high titers of MP-IgM positive had severe symptoms,of which more than 90% patients presenting with lower respiratory tract infections,mainly with pneumonia.Recovery of chest radiological finding was posterior to clinical improvement,so timely and regular chest X-ray examinations were essential after treatment and could avoid the false ceasing of treatment of the cases.Patients of MP infections with high titers of IgM antibodies positive have good prognosis.
