The effects of saponins extracted from stems & leaves of Panax ginseng C.A.Meyer including the total ginsenoside ( GNS) , panaxad-iol saponin ( PDS ) & panaxatriol saponin ( PTS ) on the activities of Ca2+-ATPase & Mg2+-ATPase in rabbit cerebral microsomes were studied in vitro. It was found that GNS & PTS significantly inhibited the activities of Ca2+-ATPase & Mg2+-ATPase. The activity of Ca2+-ATPase was activated by PDS at the concentrations of 10 & 100mg/L, and it dramatically inhibited the activity of Ca2+-ATPase the concentration of 1000mg/L. Furthermore, the activity of Mg2+-ATPase was inhibited by PDS at the concentrations of 100 & 1000mg/L. Chlorpromazine ( 0 .35 & 0 .70 mmol/L ) possessed the inhibitory effects on the activities of both Ca2+-ATPase & Mg2+-ATPase.

Diclofenac potassium delayed-sustained release pellets were prepared by double-layer coating method with ethylcellulose aqueous dispersion.The effects of release condition and pellet compositions on the in vitro drug release were evaluated.The formulation was optimized by the central composite design-response surface methodology.It was shown that the pH of the media greatly affected the in vitro drug release of the pellets while the viscosity of the media had little influence.Drug release from the pellets was related to the proportion of the inner coat to the outer coat and the amount of pore forming agent in the outer coat.The optimization of the formulation could be achieved by the central composite design-response surface methodology.

ColV~+ strains of Escherichia coli produced larger inhibitory zones when these strains grown on nutrient agar containing phosphate after overlaid sensitive indicators. This appears that production of colicin V is increased by the addition of phosphate to nutrient agar. It was sure that stimulation of phosphate to colicin V formation results from its effect in reducing divalent cation levels in nutrient agar since adding EDTA to nutrient agar had the same effect as phosphate, but the addition of Mg~(2+) or Ca~(2+) had the oppsite effect. Therefore nutrient agar supplemented with phosphate can be used to isolate and identificate ColV~+ strains of E. coli.

of Streptomyces regensis was isolated from soil to produce a novel antibiotic AGPM of a strong biological activity of antitumor The strain was irradiated by UV after treatment with LiCl to give a AGPM yield of 1 87?10 2 mg mL 1 , 2 2 times higher than that of the original strain The optimum UV irradiation time was 30～60 s and the best LiCl concentration was 0 05～0 09 mol/L The fermentation of AGPM was conducted in a 30 L stirred tank, the maximum yield of AGPM using the mutants reached 1 85?10 2 mg mL 1 , while that using the original strain was only 0 85?10 2 mg mL 1

Objective:To increase the solubility of the campher and oleum anisi stellati in the syrup of cough and reduce the precipitation of syrup.Methods: The technology of ? cyclodextrin inclusion was used in the experiment. Results: The experiment shows the method may meet the demand of production. Conclusions: The method is very good in the production of cough syrup.

Objective To investigate the difference of vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) on the effect of one-stage skin graft and second-stage sugery after scar release.Methods A total of 42 patients who wanted to undergo scar release and skin graft was randomly divided to control group (n =21) and VSD treatment group (n =21).The control group implemented skin graft immdiately after scar release while VSD treatment group were treated with VSD for 3 days after scar release and then implemented skin graft.The rate of subcutaneous blood stasis and the survival rate of skin graft were observed at 7 days after skin graft.The condition of grafted skin contracture and hyperplasia after half a year was also observed.Results The incidcnce of subcutaneous blood stasis was significantly lower in the VSD group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The survival rate of skin grafts was significantly higher in the VSD group than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The score of Vancouver scar was significantly lower in the VSD group than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions VSD treatment of second-stage sugery after scar release can reduce the occurrence of subcutaneous blood stasis,promotc skin graft survival,reduce postoperative skin graft contracture and improve the prognosis of patients compared to one-stage skin graft.

Aim Toinvestigatetheroleofbrain-de-rived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)-tyrosine receptor ki-nase B (trkB ) signaling pathway in the therapeutic effects of ketamine on diabetic neuropathic pain.Meth-ods Forty-eightWistarrats,aged3months,weighing 200~250 g,were equally randomized into 4 groups(n=12 ):control group (C group ), saline group (S group),ketamine group (K group)and ketamine +ANA-12 group (KA group ).Rats in S,K and KA groups were intraperitoneally injected with a single of streptozotocin(STZ)65 mg·kg-1 to construct diabetic neuropathic pain model.After twenty-eight days,rats in S,K and KA groups were intraperitoneally injected with saline, ketamine 10 mg·kg-1 and ketamine 10 mg·kg-1 +ANA-12 0. 5 mg·kg-1 for consecutive 7 days, respectively. On the 8th day, mechanical withdrawal threshold(MWT)of rats was measured.Af-ter that,the rats were immediately sacrificed,and dor-sal ganglion of lumbar spine and prefrontal cortex (PFC)were harvested for measuring BDNF,p-trkB/trkB,synaptophysin and spine density by Western blot andglogistaining.Results ComparedwithCgroup, rats in S group significantly decreased MWT,BDNF, p-trkB/trkB,synaptophysin and spine density in dorsal ganglion and PFC (P <0. 05 ).Compared with S group,rats in K group showed a significant increase of MWT,BDNF,p-trkB/trkB,synaptophysin and spine density in the all observed regions(P<0. 05 ).On the contrary,rats in KA group showed a significant de-crease of MWT and BDNF,p-trkB/trkB,synaptophys-in and spine density as compared with K group in all regions(P<0. 05 ).Furthermore,BDNF was positive-ly correlated with spine density in all regions (P <0.05).Conclusion BDNF-trkBsignalingpathway mediates ketamine-induced therapeutic effects in dia-betic neuropathic pain.
