Liuwei-Dihuang Pill is a famous medicine in the clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and it is important and interesting to explore its new clinical indications. This study is based on the data downloaded from the SinoMed by querying on term of Liuwei-Dihuang Pill. By applying the data slicing algo-rithm, we achieved outstanding symptoms associated with Liuwei-Dihuang Pill. Examining these symptoms, besides those which are widely known as common knowledge, some other potential symptoms are found. These potential symptoms are aphtha, (sexual) dysfunction, constipation, and heel pain which might be taken as new clinical indi-cations of Liuwei-Dihuang Pill.

Objective To explore the traditional Chinese and western medication principle of treating epilepsy based on text mining, and provide a reference for clinical use. Methods Based on the literature data of treatment of epilepsy collected in CBM database, we explored the medication principle of both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine for treating epilepsy by frequency statistical data based on sensitive keywords hierarchical algorithm, retro-read and manually noise reduction. These laws displayed by the frequency of one-dimensional and two-dimensional network diagram. Results Commonly used drugs in western medicine treatment for epilepsy are phenobarbital, phenytoin, valproate, carbamazepine and diazepam. Traditional Chinese medicine commonly used are Angongniuhuang Pill, Qingkailing Injection, Wumei Pill, Tongxinluo Capsule, Compound Danshen Dripping Pill, Xuefuzhuyu Capsule, etc. When traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are combined used, the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine are Angongniuhuang Pill, Qingkailing Injection and Compound Danshen Tablet, western medicine are phenobarbital, valproate, carbamazepine and diazepam. Common syndromes are yin deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of kidney yin, heart tangled by sputum, deficiency of yin, heart disturbance by sputum and fire. Conclusion Text mining technology can be used for summary of medication principle of treating epilepsy and of epilepsy syndrome, thus provide useful exploration and reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To study the therapeutic effect of cholinergie receptor,an nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(nAChR)α7 agonist,on trinitrobeazene sulfonic acid(TNBS)-induced colitis in mice.Methods BALB/C mice were randomly divided into control group,TNBS group,anabaseine(AN)as the agonist of nAChRα7(AN group),and chlorisondamine diiodide(CHD)as the antagonist of nAChRα7(CHD group).TNBS-induced colitis was produced at day 1,either 10 μg anabaseine or 1.5 μg chlorisondamine diiodide was administrated after the induction of colitis,and repeated on interval day till the mice were sacrificed at day 8.The myeloperoxidase(MPO)activity and level of tumor necrosis factors(TNF)-α in colonic tissue were examined by histological method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),respectively.Lamina propria mononuclear cells(LPMCs)were isolated,and NF-κB activation was further detected by Western blot.Results Compared with TNBS group,the tissue damage,MPO activity and concentration of TNF-α in mice treated with anabaseine were decreased[MPO activity:(7.6±2.1)U/mg vs(12.2±2.6)U/mg,TNF-α level:(396±98)pg/g vs(627±112)Pg/g],and NF-κB activation in LPMCs was inhibited.Whereas the MPO activity[(14.1±1.8) U/mg)]and concentration of TNF-α[(692±79)pg/g)]in mice treated with chlorisondamine diiodide were increased and NF-κB activation in LPMCs were amplified. Conclusion nAChRa7 agonist can inhibit colonic inflammatory response by down-regulating the consentration of TNF-α and inhibiting NF-κB activation.

Four qi theory is an important part of property theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Current researches mainly focus on two aspects of cold and heat properties, which are not only important elements of treating diseases, but also are factors of causing adverse reaction. In this article, through the study on the toxicity mechanism of cold and hot properties, authors put forward to the control measures of toxic and side effects of traditional Chinese medicine with cold and hot properties, and pointed out that the importance of controlling toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine with cold and hot properties lies in the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective Among the factors affecting embryo implantation, oxidative stress is one that receives much medical attention. The purpose of the study was to explore the effect of H2 O2 on the endometrial stromal cells ( ESCs) in the decidual mouse model of oxidative stress of ESCs. Methods Primary ESCs cultured by enzymatic digestion with a mesh filter were divided into a control, an experimental, and a model group. Decidualization was induced in the mice of the experimental and model groups by inter-vention with 10 nM E2 and 1μmol/L P4 for 72 h in vitro. Then, the animals of the model group were treated with different concentra-tions of H2 O2 for 4 hours. The primary ESCs were identified by immunohistochemistry, the expression of dPRP mRNA determined byRT-PCR, the proliferation of the decidual ESCs treated with H2 O2 analyzed by CCK-8, and the level of ROS detected by flow cytometry. Results Primary mouse ESCs were successfully isolated, cultured, and identified, which were shaped like spindles and polygons, radial-ly aligned under the microscope. Immunofluorescence analysis showed positive expression of vimentin and negative expression of cytokeratin. The purity of the primary mouse ESCs was ( 96. 3 ± 0. 49 )%. Theexpression of dPRP mRNA was significantly higher in the ESCs treated with E2 and P4 than in the control (0.0002±0.0000 vs 1.0010±0.0011, P<0.01). H2O2 at ≥150μmol/L suppressed the proliferation of the decidual ESCs by 6.9% (P<0.05), and in a concen-tration-dependent manner, reaching the maximum inhibition rate of 70.6% at the concentration of 300μmol/L. The level of intracellular ROS was markedly increased in the ESCs treated with H2O2 at 50μmol/L (27.77±4.20) and 100μmol/L (43.57±6.58), with statisti-cally significant difference from that in the control group (17.47±0.61) (P=0.001). Conclusion H2O2 at 100μmol/L can signifi-cantly elevate the intracellar ROS level without affecting the proliferation of decidual primary ESCs, and therefore can be used for estab-lishing the model of oxidative stress of ESCs in decidual mice.

Objective To observe the removal of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-? ), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) on hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) patients, and investigate the effect of inflammatory mediators on HFRS. Methods A total of 40 patients with moderate or more severe HFRS were divided into two groups randomly. Continuous venous-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) was applied to the 20 cases in CVVH group, and hemodialysis (HD) was applied to the 20 cases in HD group. The levels of TNF-? and IL-6 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and ET-1 level was measured by radioimmunoassays (RIA). Results ① In comparing CVVH and HD groups, the days of oliguria (3.0?2.1, 6.0?3.4), incidence of complications (25%, 40%), and mortality (15%, 25%) had significant differences (P0.05). ④ In CVVH group, IL-6 and ET-1 could be detected constantly in filtrate, but TNF-? was not detectable. TNF-?, IL-6 and ET-1 were not detectable in dialysate. Conclusion Continuous blood purification can remove plasma inflammatory mediators. Therefore, it is helpful in recovering renal function, improving the prognosis of HFRS, and decreasing complications and mortality. CVVH is one of the best methods to treat HFRS.

83 patients with severe pancreatitis, cancer of esophagus, gastrointestipal surgery and intestinal perforation were treated with TPN, clinical level of total protein, albumin, blood sugar and fat, body weight and nitrogen were measured. The results showed patients with TPN acquired active effects, such as fully enhancement of the utilization and adaptability of body, maintenance of positive nitrogen balance effectively, complement of the lost of albumin and Hb, improvement of metabolic condition, inhibition of glyconegenesis, reduction of the lost of fat and nitrogen and the decomposition of muscle protein. These improve the nitrogen condition, maitain the body in the positive. nitrogen balance, reduce thecllurence of complication and pro ide the better condition for the health.
