Objective To Study on anti-thrombosis effect of volatile oil of Acorus Tatarinowii Schott(AST) and ?-asarone.Methods Thrombosis test,blood hyperviscocity test,blood clottingtest,and in vitro fibrinolytic test were carried out to investigate the effects of volatile oil of AST and ?-asarone on the following indexes:weight of thrombus,prothrombin time(PT),activated part prothrombin time(APTT),hemorheology,clotting time,the weight of plasma fibrin clot.Results Volatile oil of AST and ?-asarone can lower the weight of venout thrombosis in rats,and prolong PT and APTT of blood plasma in rats.They can improve hemorheology in the hyperviscocity rats,especially reduce viscosity of whole blood and blood plasma obviously.They can prolong the clotting time in mice obviously;and decrease the weight of plasma fibrin clot.Conclusion Volatile oil of SCP and ?-asarone has anti-thrombosis anticoagulationand fibrinolyitc effect,and its mechanism may be related to the prolongation of PT and APTT,improving blood viscosity.

Aim To study effects of grape seed proanthocyanidin (GSP) on learning and memory in mice. Methods After po GSP 10,20,40 mg?kg -1 respectively and contemporaneously sc D-galactose 1.25 g?kg -1 for 6 weeks, step down test and Y-type electric maze were used to examine the efficacy of GSE on learning and memory of mice first. Then lipoperoxide(LPO) level in blood and brain of these mice was measured. After po GSP 10,20,40 mg?kg -1 respectively for 2 weeks, the ability of learning and memory was measured by Morris Water Maze task. Results GSP significantly prolonged step-down latency in the mice and decreased number of errors in 5 minutes in step down test; and significantly decreased number of errors of these mice in Y-type electric maze test. LPO level in blood and brain of these mice was lower than that of model group. GSP also increased crossing platform times(CPT) and crossing platform percentages(CPP) in normal mice rested for 30 days in morris water maze test. Conclusion GSP can elevate the ability of learning and memory in mice treated with D-galactose, also improve memory retrieval at the spatial probe trials in normal mice. Mechanisms of these actions may probably be attributable antioxidative activity of GSP.

Objective: To study the difference between the acid resistance of Streptococcus mulans Ingbritt C international standard strain and the acid resistance of LuxS mutant strain. Methods: Solutions of Streptococcus mulans standard strain and LuxS mutant strain with same density were prepared and cultured at pH 3. 5 to 7. 0 BH1 liquid for same period. Terminal growth situation was compared. After being acidized in pH 5.5 BHI liquid, the two strains were cultured at pH 3.0 BHI liquid. The acid tolerance responses of the two strains were compared. Results; (DAt pH 6.0 to 7. 0, the difference of growth between Streptococcus mulans standard strain and LuxS mutant strain was not significant at the same pH value, and the differences of bacterial growth situation under three different pH values were not significant. (1)At pH 4.5 to 5.5, the difference of growth between the two strains was significant. (2)At pH 3.0,the survival rate of LuxS mutant strain(0.006 5% )was significantly lower than the standard strain (0.078% ). (3)At pH 5.5, the survival rate of LuxS mutant strain(0.747% ) was lower than the standard strain(8.65% )by about 10 times after the pre-acidification. Conclusion; (4)At sub-lethal pH value, there is significant difference of aciduricity between Streptococcus mu-tans standard strain and LuxS mutant strain. The acid resistance of standard strain is stronger than that of LuxS mutant strain. The two strains both display the capability of acid tolerance responses. LuxS mutant strain is more sensitive to acid inactivation, but the capability of acid tolerance responses still exists.

Objective To characterize the image morphology and time-intensity curve of renal cell cancer and angiomyolipoma on contrast-enhanced harmonic sonography. Methods A total of 57 patients with 58 renal masses were enrolled in this study prospectively. The renal masses included 47 renal cell carcinomas (RCC) and 11 angiomyolipomas (AML). All patients were evaluated by tradi-tional gray-scale sonography, color Doppler sonography and contrast-enhanced harmonic sonography. Imaging findings and time-intensity curves of all renal masses were analyzed. The contrast-enhance-ment features between RCC and AML were analyzed. Results 57.4% of RCCs were hyperechoic masses and peripheral surrounding vessels and / or penetrating vessels were noted in 83.0% of RCCs on color Doppler sonography. 54.5 % of AMLs were hyperechoic masses while peripheral surrounding vessels and / or penetrating vessels were only noted in 27.3% of AMLs on color Doppler sonography. On contrast-enhanced harmonic sonography, hyper- or iso-enhancement were noted in 83.0% of RCCs, while hypo-enhancement were noted in 81.8% of AMLs (P<0.01). Statistically significant differences were noted between RCC and AML in the values of peak time (P=0.03), wash time (p= 0.02), peak intensity-basic intensity (P=0. 01), AT/R (△A tumor/△A renal) (P=0.00), k (P= 0.02), and Aok (P=0.02). Conclusions Contrast-enhanced sonography is useful in the differentia-tion of renal masses. Most RCCs are hyper- or iso-enhanced while most AMLs are hypo-enhanced. Time-intensity curves are helpful in differentiating RCC and AML.

The arterial source of the flap,the anastomoses of cutaneous arteries in theskin and subcutaneous tissue and nervous distribution in the flap were observed andsurveyed in 42 upper limbs of adult cadavers.1.The arterial source of the flap comes mainly from the cutaneous branches ofprofund brachial artery,radial collateral artery,lateral humeral cutaneous artery andcutaneous branches of the posterior circumflex humeral artery.In most cases theprofund brachial artery and radial collateral artery may be served as the vascularpedicle of the flap of lateral brachium in transplantation.2.The cutaneous arteries in this flap anastomose each other to from a networkin the skin and subcutaneous tissue.Cutaneous arteries arising from the medial brac-hial region and the upper part of forearm also participate in the formation of thisvascular network.3.The veins of the flap contain both superficial and deep groups:The superfi-cial group is the cephalic vein of brachium which goes upward along the lateralsulcus of m.biceps brachii and its outer caliber is somewhat wider;the deep groupfollows the profund brachial artery or radial collateral artery as their venae comit-antes.Both groups may be sutured together or separately with veins of the recipientin skin grafting.4.The lateral brachial cutaneous nerve and posterior antebrachial cutaneousnerve pierce through the lateral intermuscular septum at various levels,and innervateover the skin in lateral brachial and posterior forearm regions.Since the posteriorbrachial cutaneous nerve is accompanied closely by the radial collateral artery,muchattention should be paid to it in cutting skin flap.5.The extent of cutting a skin flap in lateral brachial region can be enlargeddue to free anastomoses with arteries of adjacent regions which was demonstrated byperfusing red ink into profund brachial artery.The flap of lateral brachium maybe subdivided into following three parts:the upper,middle and lower,the vascularpedicle of which are the cutaneous branch of posterior circumflex humeral artery,lateral humeral cutaneous artery and profund brachial artery(or radial collateralartery)respectively.
