The data were processed with the software 3P87. Results The primary pharmacokinetic parameters were: V c (0 30?0 04) L/kg, CL (1.12?0.33) mL/min, K e (0.91?0.19) h -1 , t 1/2 (0 76?0 10) h, AUC (24.97?4.83) (?g?h)/mL, respectively in iv safflower yellow A to the rats. Conclusion The safflower yellow A in rats is fited to one compartment model, and it is distributed and eliminated quickly.

Objective:To evaluate the left ventricular rotation and twist in patients with constrictive pericarditis (CP) after pericardiectomy by using speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), and observe its trend over time.Methods:A total of 29 patients with CP from Department of Medical Ultrasound, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from September 2014 to December 2017 underwent echocardiography 1 week before and 1 month, 6 months, 12 months after pericardiectomy. STE was performed to obtain peak values of basal and apical rotation and left ventricular twist. Twenty-nine healthy subjects were recruited as controls in the same period.Results:The left ventricu1ar apical rotation[before surgery(6.62±3.19)°, 1 month after surgery(7.07±4.02)°, 6 months after surgery(7.88±4.46)°, 12 months after surgery(7.85±4.51)°], the left ventricu1ar twist [before surgery(10.50±4.94)°, 1 month after surgery(9.42±5.40)°, 6 months after surgery(9.59±4.62)°, 12 months after surgery(9.70±4.45)°] were significantly lower in patients with CP than those in controls [(11.22±5.17)°, (16.35±5.21)°](all P<0.05); while basal rotation in patients with CP after surgery among different time points were all significantly lower than those in controls[1 month after surgery(-3.85±3.20)°, 6 months after surgery(-3.49±2.09)°, 12 months after surgery(-3.53±2.01)°; controls(-5.57±2.78)°] (all P<0.05), with no significant difference between patients with CP before surgery (-5.22±3.14)° and controls (-5.57±2.78)°( P>0.05). There were no significant differences in left ventricular twist, basal and apical rotation in CP groups before and after surgery among different time points (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Although the left ventricular global function of patients with CP in the long postoperative period seems "normal" , the left ventricular twist, basal and apical rotation are still significantly lower than those in controls. STE can be used to assess the changes of left ventricular twist and rotation in patients with CP long-term after pericardiectomy.

Methods The separation was performed on a Waters C18 column (250 mm× 4.6 mm, 5μm) with acetonitrile-water (30∶70) as the mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 230 nm. Results Paeoniflorin showed good linearity (r=0.999 9) in the range of 0.266-5.32 μg, and the average recovery was 98.00%, RSD=2.22%. Conclusion The method is convenient, sensitive, accurate and repeatable. It can be applied to determination of paeoniflorin in Fufang Chishao Granula and control the quality of the preparation.

OBJECTIVE:To establish UPLC fingerprint of Gehua formula granules. METHODS:UPLC method were adopted. The determination was performed on Zorbax Eclipse XDB-C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water at the flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 264 nm,column temperature was 25 ℃,and the sample size was 1 μL. Using tectorigenin as reference substance,UPLC chromatograms of 10 batches of Gehua formula granules were determined. The common peak identification and similarity evaluation were conducted by TCM Chromatogram Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation Sys-tem(2004 A edition). RESULTS:14 common peaks were identified in UPLC chromatograms of 10 batches of Gehua formula gran-ules and similarities were all higher than 0.90. UPLC chromatograms of 10 batches of samples were in good agreement with control fingerprint. CONCLUSIONS:Established UPLC fingerprint can provide reference for identification and quality evaluation of Gehua formula granules.

The basic pathogenesis of hypersalivation syndrome is the deficiency of spleen and kidney, which results in the imbalance of water metabolism and intake disorder. There are two different characters included in polysialia and profuse spittle. Therefore, dialectics should start from the spleen and kidney, and warming yang and resolving dampness, strengthening spleen and reinforcing kidney should be the treatment. Two medical cases for the treatment of hypersalivation syndrome were illustrated in this article. Lizhong Decoction and Linggui Zhugan Decoction were the basic prescriptions, and combined with the Chinese materia medica with the function of reinforcing kidney andintaking the saliva, with obvious efficacy.

Objective To study the anti-neuroglioma effect of methyl-mercuric chloride(MMC) by observing the morphological changes of apoptotic neuroglioma cells induced with MMC in rats with brain neuroglioma.Methods The rat models of neuroglioma were established,and divided into two groups.The rats in experimental group were lavaged with MMC 1 week after injected with C6 glioma cells,10 mg?kg-1every day,the rats in control group were treated with sodium chloride at the same dose.24 d after inoculation all rats were sacrificed except natural death,the brain tissues were obtained,and the pathohistological changes were observed under light microscope and transmission electron microscope.Results The macropathological result showed that the tumor volume in experimental group was smaller than that in control group.Under light microscope,in experimental group the growth density of C6 ghioma cells was lower than that in control group,and the apoptotic cells with smaller volume and karyopyknosis were found.The result of transmission electron microscope showed that in experimental group,the glioma cells had some changes such as karyopyknosis,chromoplasm margination,nuclear fragmentation and vacuolar degeneration and so on.Conclusion MMC has inhibitory effect on the proliferation of C6 glioma in rats in vivo,its mechanism may be related to inducing the apoptosis of neuroglioma cells.

OBJECTIVE To study whether the ciprofloxacin(CIP)combined with amikacin(AMK)will decrease the drug-resistant mutants of Escherichia coli(ECO)in vitro.METHODS The MIC of CIP and AMK alone was determined by agar plates dilution method,and the combined MIC by checkerboard method.The mutant prevention concentration(MPC)both alone and combined was determined by the method of agar plates dilution method,and then the value of selectiveity index(SI)(MPC/MIC)would be acquired.RESULTS The SI of two antibiotics separatedly were 16(CIP)and 32(AMK).When two antibiotics combined,if the concentration of AMK and CIP reached 2MIC could restrain the mutants.After these two antibiotics combined,the value of SI(MPCcombined/MICcombined)came to be 8(0.008/0.001)and 8(2.0/0.25).CONCLUSIONS Compared with alone,CIP and AMK combined can decrease the MPC and SI to ECO,and have the more effect to AMK.In this way,we can reduce the drug-resistant mutants.
