OBJECTIVE: To establish HPLC fingerprint of flavonoids from Bauhinia blakeana and to provide reference for harvest, application and quality evaluation of B. blakeana. METHODS: RP-HPLC method was used to determine the content of flavonoids from 10 batches of B. blakeana from different habitats and in different harvest periods with rutin and quercetin as control. The similarity was calculated using TCM fingerprint similarity evaluation system. The separation was performed on Hypersil ODS C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column with mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.4% phosphoric acid solution (gradient elution) at flow rate of 0.7 mL?min-1 lasting for 40 min. The UV detection wavelength was set at 360 nm and column temperature was at 25℃. RESULTS: The results showed that 14 peaks were common. The similarity index of 10 batches B. blakeana samples were between 0.88 and 0.94. The results indicated chemical components were similar but content of the compounds was different. CONCLUSION: Established HPLC fingerprint of B. blakeana is stable, reliable and reproducible, which is valuable for harvest, application and quality evaluation of B. blakeana.

Recent years have witnessed great development of TLA (Total Laboratory Automation) technology, however, its application hit the bottleneck of high cost and openess to other parties' instruments. Specifically speaking, the initial purchase of the medical devices requires large sum of money and the new system can hardly be compatible with existing equipment. This thesis proposes a new thought for system implementation that through incremental upgrade, the initial capital investment can be reduced and through open architecture and interfaces, the seamless connection of different devices can be achieved. This thesis elaborates on the standards that open architecture design should follow in aspect of mechanics, electro-communication and information interaction and the key technology points in system implementation.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels have low immunogenicity and can induce immune tolerance. At present, the mechanism of immune regulation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels is not completely understood. It has been rarely reported whether the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the thymus after transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the distribution and survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels in the thymus of aging rats after transplantation.
METHODS: Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels cultured in vitrowere transfected by adenovirus vectors expressing green fluorescent protein. Transfected bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were injected into the portal vein of aging rats. At days 3, 7, 14, 21 after transplantation, the survival of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels homing to the thymus was observed under fluorescence microscope. At day 3 after transplantation, thymus tissues were taken and stained with hematoxylin-eosin for pathological observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Green fluorescent protein-labeled bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels had a strong green fluorescence at days 3 and 7 after transplantation, and the cel contour was clear. There was no significant difference in the mean absorbance values at days 3 and 7 (P> 0.05). Expression of green fluorescent protein was weakened significantly at days 14 and 21 compared with that at day 3 (P < 0.05). At 3 days after transplantation, the transplanted bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were clearly visible in the thymus, and acute rejection was not observed. The results show that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can migrate to the damaged thymus tissue through the blood circulation, and can survive at least 1 week.

Objective To observe the role of calcitonin (CT) during the implantation. Methods Human endometrial epithelial cells were cultured. After stimulated with various concentrations of CT, intracellular calcium(Ca 2+)in the epithelial and stroma cells and pre-embryos were measured by the laser scanning confocal microscope. Resutls When stimulated with different concentrations of CT, mean fluorescence levels in the epithelial cells were similar to that of the control. However CT can improve intracellar Ca 2+ of preimplantation embryos and stroma cells in a dose-dependent manner and significantly higher than those of controls. When 10 nmol/L CT was added to the culture medium, the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration in 8-cell embryos rose immediately. Embryo exposure to CT was followed by a series of Ca 2+ bursts that persisted for at least 2 hours. No change in Ca 2+ was observed when culture medium alone was added to the embryos. Pre-loading embryos and stoma cells with the Ca 2+ chelator,prevented the increased fluorescence after CT addition. Conclusions CT play an important role during the procesess of implantation. It maybe improve intracellar of preembryos and accerate the development of preembryos.

Objective This paper aimed to evaluate the effect of preoperative embolization on the intraoperative blood loss of sacrum chordoma.Methods forty patients involved with the spinal chordoma were retrospectively analyzed in this study.The preoperative embolization group consisted of 16 sacrum chordoma patients were embolizationed by gelatin sponge particles (10 male and6 female)age from 35 to 71 years old,(mean 57.9 years) ; and the control group consisted of 4 sacrum chordoma patients (3 male and 1 female),age from 43 to 61 years old(mean 51.8 years).analyzed the predictive value of preoperative embolization in correlation with the intraoperative blood loss.Results The mean blood loss (2025.0 ±818.5)ml of sacrum chordoma in the preoperative embolization group was insignificantly than that (1950.0 ± 802.1) ml in the control group,(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The study shows that the preoperative feeding artery embolization of the spinal tumor has no significant effect on the intraoperative blood loss in the surgical excision of the sacrum chordoma.
