Objective To establish the method of thin layer identification of Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex and solid phase extraction - high performance liquid chromatography (SPE-HPLC) determination of the content of phellodendrine in Leshu Lotion. Methods Thin layer chromatography (TLC) was used for qualitative identification of Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex in Leshu Lotion and the Bond Elutplexa PCX strong cation-exchange solid phase was used for extraction small column purification. Platisil-NH2 column was as chromatographic column; column temperature was 30 ℃; triethylamine pH 3.82 (phosphoric acid), tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile was 18:12:70, isocratic elution; flow rate was 1.0 mL/min; detection wavelength was 286 nm. Results TLC could obviously identify active ingredients of phellodendrine in Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex. The phellodendrine had good linear relationship between concentration and peak area within the scope of 1.22–12.2 μg (r=0.9999); the average recovery rate of phellodendrine was 101.18%, RSD was 1.71%. Conclusion This method is simple to operate, with accuracy and repeatability, and can be used for quality control of Leshu Lotion.

Objective To analyze the distribution and antimicrobial resistance of pathogens from patients with hospital infection in intensive care unit(ICU),and to discuss the corresponding strategy of prevention and treatment. Methods Clinical data of 891 patients hospitalized in the ICU of our hospital between Jan 2002 and Dec 2005 were collected.All the specimens were analyzed for pathogen distribution and resistance to antibiotics. Results Of all the isolated 1 155 strains,Gram-negative(G-)bacteria were the most popular pathogen(57.84%),whereas Gram-positive(G+) bacteria and fungi accounted for 21.39% and 20.78%,respectively.Most G-bacteria were less sensitive to imipenem(0-10.16%),and Pseudomonas aeruginosa was least sesitive to amikacin(6.89%) and cefoperazone-sulbactam(33.97%).G+ bacteria were most sensitive to vancomycin.Most fungus were Candida albicans(42.92%) and yeast species(22.90%). Conclusion Epidemiological investigation of pathogens in ICU is of great importance to the rational use of anti-biotics and may help to reduce the emergence of resistant strains.

Objective To investigate the changes of clinical and laboratory manifestations of rheumatic fever (RF) in recent ten years by reviewing the medical data of 315 patients with RF. Methods Three hundred and fifteen in-patients and out-patients with RF during 1985-1995 (group A) and 1997-2007(group B) were selected. Their manifestations were compared. Results Male/female ratio was about 1:2. Carditis and polyarthritis were common manifestations. Compared with group A, the rate of low-grade fever and carditis increased and the rate of heart failure, positive rate of C reaction protein and antistreptolysin O decreased in group B. In group B, 61.4% patients fulfilled the updated Jones diagnostic criteria. 76.2% fulfilled the 2002-2003 WHO criteria. The sensitivity and specificity of peripheral blood lymphocyte procoagulant activity (PCA) for the diagnosis of rheumatic carditis was 79.1% and 71.4% respectively. That of the anti-streptococcal group A polysaccharide (ASP) antibodies was 70.3% and 70% respectively. Five to ten years follow-up clinical data were available for 35 cases since Dec. 1997. The recurrent rate of RF was 62.8%. Only 1/3 cases received regular secondary prevention. Recurrence rate of patients with regular secondary prevention was significantly lower than that of patients without regular secondary prevention. Conclusion Mild earditis has been increasing during last ten years. PCA and ASP are valuable tests for diagnosing rheumatic carditis. More emphasis should be paid to atypical cases, early diagnosis and regular secondary prevention in order to improve prognosis.

Objective To analyze regional left ventricular systolic function before and after percutaneous translumial coronary angioplasty(PTCA),quantitative tissue velocity imaging(QTVI)was used tO detect wall motion of left ventricule.Methods 20 patients with isolated left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD)stenosis(≥70%)and 16 normal control subjects were included in this study.QTVI was performed one day before PTCA+stent,a week and a month after successful PTCA+stent.Peak systolic myocardial velocity(Vs)were measured with QTVI at different wall segments(basal and medial segments).Results Before PTCA+stent,Vs of all segments assigned by LAD were significantly lower than those of corresponding segments in normal subjects(P＜0.01).After PTCA+stent,the above segments showed a significant improvement of Vs in a week and a month(P＜0.01).Conclusion QTVI can quantitively detect changes of myocardiac motion and real-time quantify regional left ventricular systolic function before and after PTCA.

Prednisolone-induced zebrafish osteoporosis model was used to explore the bone-strengthening effect of Jie-Gu-Tang (JGT). Zebrafish larvae of 5 days post fertilization (d.p.f.) were co-exposed with 25 μmol·L-1 pred-nisolone and a series of JGT solutions with a range of concentrations (0.025, 0.25, 2.5, 25 and 100 mg crude herb per liter). The 25 μmol·L-1 prednisolone was selected as the model group. Etidronate disodium (15 and 30 mg·mL-1) with 25 μmol·L-1 prednisolone was used as the positive group. And 0.5% DMSO was used as the vehicle control group. All groups were incubated in 24-well plates (28.5℃) until 10 d.p.f. Zebrafish skeleton at 10 d.p.f. was anes-thetized and fixed for staining with alizarin red. Quantitative analysis of the stained area was performed by microscop-ic inspection and digital imaging methods to reflect the amount of zebrafish head skeleton mineralization. The results showed that prednisolone group at 25 μmol·L-1 concentration can obviously decrease the staining area and the stain-ing optical density values when compared with the vehicle control group (0.5% DMSO). Compared with the model group, both etidronate disodium (15 and 30 mg·mL-1) and JGT (2.5, 25 and 100 mg crude herb per liter) can in-crease the mineralized matrix and integrated optical density (IOD) of zebrafish head skeleton significantly with dose-effect relationship. It was concluded that zebrafish osteoporosis model was successfully used in the evaluation on bone loss prevention and bone formation promotion of JGT, which provided basis for the reliability and reasonability of zebrafish model.
