Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Guiqi shengjing capsule on infertility caused by oligospermia and asthenospermia. Methods All of 126 oligospermia and asthenospermia outpatients in theDepartment of Andrology from Sep 2011 to Dec 2012 were divided into 2 groups randomly:experimental group and control group (63 patients in each group), which were taken Guiqishengjing capsule and Huangjing zanyu capsule respectively, with a course of 3 months. Then we observed and compared the clinical efficacy and semen parameters of the patients in the 2 groups before and after treatment. Results There was no significant differences in semen parameters between two groups before treatment ( >0.05) .And also there was no significant differences in total clinical effective rate and semen parameters between two groups after treatment ( >0.05) .But, the extremely significant difference presented in sperm activity and density before and after treatment in two groups (<0.01) . Conclusion Guiqishengjing capsule can promote spermatogenesis, improve sperm quality, and has definite effect on oligospermia and asthenospermia in infertility .

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of AMS three- piece inflatable penile prosthesis on erectile dysfunction (ED).Methods From Dec 2008 to Sep 2012, 7 patiens with of serve erectile dysfunction (ED),whose ages were 28~55 years (average 47 years) were implanted with AMS three- piece inflatable penile prosthesis in our hospital. The 7 patients with serve erectile dysfunction included 3 patients with neurogenic ED,2 patients with arteriovenous fistula in corpus cavernosum penis and 2 patients with fibrosis of corpus cavernosum penis. Results All of the patients were performed smoothly with implantation of AMS three- piece inflatable penile prosthesis, among them 3 cases appeared foreskin edema, but it disappeared after 2 weeks. After 6~36 months (average 18 months) follow up, there was no rejection, no implant failure, and no urethral injury in our group, all patients got satisfaction on sexual life, and one patient with arteriovenous fistula in corpus cavernosum penis after treatment made his wife pregnant. Conclusion AMS three- piece inflatable penile prosthesis is close to human physiological penis, it has good concealment, less surgical trauma , high success rate, satisfying clinical efficacy, safe and reliable mechanical behavior.

Improper disposal of herb residues in China has caused severe problems to the surrounding environment and human safety. Three herb residues, i.e., compound Kushen injection residues (CKI) and part one and part two of Qizhitongluo Capsule residues (QC1 and QC2, respectively), were used for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus. The effect of the supplementation of corncobs (CC) with different herb residues on yield, nutritional composition, and antioxidant activity of P. ostreatus was investigated. Compared to the control, the higher mycelial growth rate was observed on substrates CC +30% CKI and CC +30% QC1, while the higher yield was obtained from substrates CC +30% QC2 and CC +30% CKI. Moreover, chemical analysis of fruit bodies revealed that the addition of herb residues to CC significantly increased proteins, amino acids, ashes, minerals (Na and Ca), and total phenolic contents but significantly reduced carbohydrates and IC50 values of DPPH radicals. In addition, no heavy metals (Pb, Cd, and As) were detected in the fruiting bodies harvested from different substrate combinations. These results demonstrated that mixtures of CC with herb residues might be utilized as a novel, practical, and easily available substrate for the cultivation of P. ostreatus, which is beneficial for the effective management of herb residues.

Objective To establish the HPLC fingerprints of Tangbikang Granules; To scientifically evaluate and effectively control the quality of Tangbikang Granules; To ensure its production stability. Methods HPLC was performed on the column of Germany Merck RP-18 endcapped (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid water; column temperature was 40 ℃; flow rate was 1.0 mL/min; detection wavelength was 240 nm; volume injection was 20 μL. Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation Software (edition 2004A) of Chinese Pharmacopoeia Commission was used to evaluate the similarity of the 10 batches of Tangbikang Granules, and to analyze the correlations of 9 ingredients in Tangbikang Granules. Results Wogonoside was used as the reference peak, and the common mode for the HPLC fingerprints was set up. The similarities of the 10 batches of Tangbikang Granules were above 0.930, and altogether 25 common peaks in the chromatograms were found, of which 18 peaks were assigned to Chinese materia medica in Tangbikang Granules. Conclusion The method has good separability and is accurate and simple, which can provide references for the quality control of Tangbikang Granules.
