1.Research progress of the antidepressants targeting the glutamate receptors
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2014;(9):1197-1200
Depression is a worldwide neuropsychiatric disorder. Currently most preclinical and clinical studies of depression focus on monoaminergic system. However, there is growing evidence which suggests that glutamatergic system plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of depression. This review focuses on the de-velopment of new antidepressants that target glutamatergic sys-tem, summarizes the current mechanisms of antidepressants, and also highlights new insights to the pathophysiology of depression.

Objective To explore the medication rules of State Medical MasterYan Zhenghua. Methods The prescriptions containing Radix Paeoniae Alba that prescribed by Pro. Yan were collected to build a database based on traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)inheritance assist system. After analyzed by the statistical reports module and the data analysis module which were from TCM inheritance assist system, and the methods of data-mining that including association rules and apriori algorithm, the frequency of single medicine, the frequency of drug combination, the association rules between drugs and core drug combinations which all were including Radix Paeoniae Alba can be get from the database.Results The prescriptions including Radix Paeoniae Alba were commonly used to treat megrim, stomach-ache, acid regurgitation and other syndromes. The highest frequency used drugs were Radix PaeoniaeRubra, PericarpiumCitriReticulatae, Radix SalviaeMiltiorrhizae, Radix AngelicaeSinensis, Poria, and so on. The most frequency drug combinations were “RadxPaeoniae Alba, Radix PaeoniaeRubra”, “Radix SalviaeMiltiorrhizae, Radix Paeoniae Alba”, and “Radix Paeoniae Alba, PericarpiumCitriReticulatae”. The drug association rules that the confidence was more than once were “Radix PaeoniaeRubra - Radix Paeoniae Alba”, “OsDraconis - Concha Ostreae”, “Radix AngelicaeSinensis,RadixPaeoniaeRubra - Radix Paeoniae Alba”, and “Radix PaeoniaeRubra, HerbaTaxilli - Radix Paeoniae Alba”, and so on.Conclusions The drugs in the prescriptions containing Radix Paeoniae Alba that built by Pro.

Objective To investigate the aesthetic relations and internal regularities in normal craniofacial stereoscopic architecture. Methods By means of computer aided three dimensional measurement and analysis, a study on morphological features and inter relations of the cranio orbitozygomatic maxilla structures of twenty youths with pretty facial appearance was carried out. Results There were remarkable differences between each craniofacial structure in different sexes, but the ratio indices that represented the inter-relations of different craniofacial structures were closely similar in both sexes. In the group of youths the asymmetry ratios between bilateral craniofacial structures were below 5 % , presenting the perfect symmetry feature. The asymmetry ratios and their standard deviations of the zygomas and angulus mandibulae were relatively large . The results suggested that these two characteristic parts which influence the whole appearance were easily changeable with different individuals. There were close co relations between coronal axis width and sagittal axis protrusion in main structures of craniofacial region. These relationships could sum up in linear regression equations. Conclusion There are internal aesthetic regularities of coordinative ratios and harmonious symmetry in normal three dimensional craniofacial architecture, which determines the pretty appearance of youths. These internal regularities and aesthetic principles should be considered in designing and performing craniofacial aesthetic plastic operation so as to get excellent surgical results.

Objective To determine the characteristic features of clinical manifestation, imaging and pathology in the patients with hypertrophic cranial pachymeningitis (HCP). Methods All clinical data of 1 patient with HCP were studied retrospectively. Results The patient presented with heavy headache, progressive visual acuity decreased and hoarse voice. Brain MRI displayed abnormal strengthening signals in cerebral dura mater, especially in cerebral falx and tentorium of cerebellum. Pathological examination demonstrated chronic inflammation changes including numerous plasmocytes infiltration, accrementition and glassy degeneration of fibrous tissue, formation of granulation tissue. Therapy with corticosteroid hormone showed good effect for this patient.Conclusions HCP mainly presents with headache and paralysis of multiple cranial nerves. Distinctive sign on brain MRI is strengthening signal in cerebral dura. Chronic inflammation is the pathological change of this disease and pathological examination plays important role in diagnosis of HCP.

Objective To observe the influence of Cichorii extract on uric acid and lipid metabolic disorder and discuss the mechanism. Methods Quails were divided randomly into 5 groups by weight:normal group,model group,positive control group and Cichorii extract high and low dosage group,15 quails in each group. The normal group was fed with the common feeder,and the other groups were fed with the yeast powder. Positive control group was given Benzbromarone 20 mg/(kg?d). Cichorii extract high and low dosage group were given Cichorii extract 15,10 g/(kg?d) respectively. Normal and model group were given distilled water. UA,TG,FFA,TC,HDL,LDL level and XOD,ADA,GD activity related to uric acid metabolism were determined after 7 days. Results Compared with normal group,UA,TG,FFA of model group was significantly higher and HDL was significantly lower. Compared with model,Cichorii extract decreased UA,TG,FFA significantly. GD activity in model group increased significantly. Cichorii extract decreased GD activity. There was no significant variance of XOD and ADA activity in each group. Conclusion Cichorii extract had obvious effect in adjusting uric acid and lipid metabolic disorder. The possible mechanism was by decreasing GD activity and decreasing UA,FFA level.

This paper aims to establish a new method of calibration and positioning in quantitative analysis of multicomponents by single marker (QAMS), using Shuanghuanglian oral liquid as the research object. Establishing relative correction factors with reference chlorogenic acid to other 11 active components (neochlorogenic acid, cryptochlorogenic acid, cafferic acid, forsythoside A, scutellarin, isochlorogenic acid B, isochlorogenic acid A, isochlorogenic acid C, baicalin and phillyrin wogonoside) in Shuanghuanglian oral liquid by 3 correction methods (multipoint correction, slope correction and quantitative factor correction). At the same time chromatographic peak was positioned by linear regression method. Only one standard uas used to determine the content of 12 components in Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, in stead of needing too many reference substance in quality control. The results showed that within the linear ranges, no significant differences were found in the quantitative results of 12 active constituents in 3 batches of Shuanghuanglian oral liquid determined by 3 correction methods and external standard method (ESM) or standard curve method (SCM). And this method is simpler and quicker than literature methods. The results were accurate and reliable, and had good reproducibility. While the positioning chromatographic peaks by linear regression method was more accurate than relative retention time in literature. The slope and the quantitative factor correction controlling the quality of Chinese traditional medicine is feasible and accurate.
