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.

In this paper, water content, mineral element and active ingredient concentration on fifteen Inonotus obliquus which comes from all over the world were studied. In the aspect of water content, the free water content of Finnish birch was the highest, reaching 77.21%, significantly better than that of other strains. The free water content of JL04 is the lowest, only 54.6%. The bound water content of HLJ01 which from Heilongjiang is the highest, reaching 10. 74% , significant differences among other strains. The bound water content of Birch Russia was the lowest. In the aspect of mineral element, the calcium content of NBRC9788 was the high- est (3.49 mg · g(-1)), significantly better than other strains. The second was Finnish birch. The lowest was CX02. The phosphorus content of NBRC9788 was the highest (210.12 μg · g(-1)), significantly superior to other strains. The lowest was JL04. In the aspect of active ingredient concentration, the triterpenoids content of HLJ01 was highest (23.7 mg · g(-1)), significantly better than other strains. It was good strains for biological products research and development and then was Finnish birch. The betulin content of MAFF420165 and MAFF420308 was low, they were not suitable for production. The polysaccharide content of Finnish birch was the highest (9.7%), significantly better than the other strains, it is one of the most ideal and good strains to develop polysaccharide. The polysaccharide content from MAFF420308 and MAFF420256 was 1.2%, lower than other strains. We suggest that avoid using these strains in the study of polysaccharide product development.
