Objective To optimize the processing method of Codonopsis pilozula prepared product by the factorial design and response surface methodology. Method In the two different optimizing processing, methods were optimized respectively on basis of preplanned experiment design and the percentage of extracts were also determined respectively. Drying temperature and time, bran parching temperature and time respectively as independent variable, their OD value as dependent variable, multiple regression equation was obtained and binomial equation was simulated as well. Results The r2 of Codonopsis pilozula dried product and Codonopsis pilozula parched product were respectively 0.976 4 and 0.987 9, meanwhile their optimized processing methods were drying temperature 80 ℃, drying time 2 hours and parching temperature 250 ℃, parching time 1 minute. Conclusion The effect of independent variable to dependent variable can be analyzed on three-dimensional chart with the factorial design and response surface methodology, consequently it will help to optimize processing method of prepared product.

A comprehensive scoring analysis was performed with disintegrating time and rigidity as the indexes. Results The demonstration for the dispersible tablets from the optimized formulation,being totally disintegrated within three minutes and sifted through the sieve in size of the 2nd,show better dissolubility in-vitro in comparison with the common tablets and their quality meets with the requirement for the dispersible in Phamarcopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Conclusion The formulation screened out for the dispersible tablets of breviscapinum is suitable for the production on a large scale.

Objective To explore the effect of TLR2 on collagen Ⅰ(colⅠ) in adipose tissue of high-fat-diet induced obese mice.Methods Male C57bl/6J mice and TLR2 knockout mice were divided into groups according to high fat diet or normal chow.Total collagen, TLR2, colⅠ, MMP1, MMP2, TIMP1, colⅠα1 mRNA and colⅠα2 mRNA in adipose tissue were measured at the end of the experiments.Results Total collagen, TLR2, colⅠ, MMP2, TIMP1, colⅠα1 mRNA, and colⅠα2 mRNA in adipose tissue increased while MMP1 in adipose tissue decreased in mice with high fat diet.Decreased levels of total collagen, colⅠ, MMP2, TIMP1, colⅠα1 mRNA and colⅠα2 mRNA in adipose tissue were detected in TLR2 gene knockout mice with high fat diet.However, there was an increased level of MMP1 in TLR2 gene knockout mice with high fat diet.Conclusion In high-fat-diet induced obese mice, deposition of colⅠ in adipose tissue seems to be alleviated by TLR2 gene knockout via MMP1 and TIMP1.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CT (MSCT) for plasma cell mastitis. METHODS: Radiographs of MSCT for forty-six patients with plasma cell mastitis diagnosed by pathological examination were reviewed. RESULTS: The findings of MSCT of plasma cell mastitis could be divided into four types, including the inflammation type, the abscess type, the sinus and fistula type, and the mixed type, and each type had its radiographic characteristics. CONCLUSION: MSCT is helpful for diagnosing plasma cell mastitis and should be used as an examination of first choice for the patients.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application of the fistulography of multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT)in the diagnosis of anal fistula.Methods A total of 28 patients who were verified operatively of fistula in ano underwent preoperative fistulography of MSCT.The multi-planar reformation(MPR)and surface shadow display(SSD)images were generated and analyzed retrorespectively.Results There were 8 cases with perianal abscess and 20 cases with anal fistula in 28 patients.Complex fistula was diagnosed in 16 cases,and simple inter-sphincteric fistula was found in 4 cases;the inner orificiums of anal fistulas were revealed accurately with MPR images in 18 cases.Conclusion The fistulography of MSCT is valuable for preoperative assessment of anal fistula,in particular for investigation of the inner orificiums of anal fistulas with MPR.

According to the correlative analyses on Chinese medicine essence, dosage forms and quality control level, it expounds the precise concept of Chinese medicine, and its quality advantages and characteristics in this paper, furthermore discusses how to achieve the ideal drugs and Chinese medicine quality precision in expectation. Base on the Chinese medicine essence, using the concept of nature medicine and its drug system to construct Chinese medicine effective material basis and its drugs, with the correlative analyses of whole view and reductionism, the problems of uncertainty quality of original natural medicinal resources and preparations may well be solved, and further with the macroscopic to microcosmic construction of drug system, the precision in expectations of Chinese medicine quality and higher production lever may well be achieved.

ObjectiveUsing large sample clinical study to reevaluate the safety and efficacy of recombinant human growth hormone(ANSOMONE) in treating pediatric growth hormone deficiency(GHD).Methods1012 cases were administered with ANSOMONE at a dose of 0.1 IU · kg-1 · d -1 in bedtime for 6 months.The alteration of mean height,growth rate,height standard deviation scores,bone age,and anti-GH antibody and occurrence of adverse effects were observed.ResultsThe growth rate was promoted from ( 2.50 ± 0.85 ) cm/year to ( 13.44 ± 4.27 ) cm/year,the net growth rate was( 10.94 ±3.69)cm/year.There was significant difference between the pre-treatment and post-treatment patients ( P ＜ 0.01 ).The post-treatment anti-GH antibody positive rate was 13.34％,which had no obvious effect on the efficacy.Few patients exert transient inflammation reactions,which disappeared with any treatment.ConclusionANSOMONE had significant efficacy,and could promote the height increase obviously.It had good safety without any obvious side effect and early-maturing effect.

BACKGROUND:Phytohemagglutinin (PHA) can stimulate the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into cellcycle, and cause their immune activation, which is a common immune proliferation model. However, the role of non-PBMC ingredient of peripheral blood is unclear, as wel as the expression of endothelial cells related cytokines. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of whole blood culture and PBMCs alone culture with PHA on the PBMC proliferation and apoptosis, expression of inflammatory cytokine and endothelial cellsecreted cytokine markers. METHODS:Morphological changes of PBMCs separated from normal karyotype human peripheral blood individual y cultured with or without PHA were observed. The PBMCs were col ected by whole blood culture or PBMC separated culture. mRNA was extracted for the fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR, which was applied to detect the cellproliferation, apoptosis, and expression of inflammatory cytokine and endothelial cellsecreted cytokines. The statistic analysis was used for the significance explication. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:PBMCs alone cultured ere different from those undergoing whole blood culture. The PHA could up-regulate the gene expression of Ki67, proliferating cellnuclear antigen, Caspase 3, interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-βand interleukin-6, but down-regulate Protein C. This indicted that PHA could promote the proliferation and apoptosis of PBMCs and up-regulate the expression of inflammatory cytokines, but down-regulate the expression of endothelial cells secreted coagulation cytokines.

Objective To investigate the hospital mortality of rheumatic heart disease (RHD)and major cause of death. Methods One hundred and thirty patients with RHD prepared to take valve replacement from January 2006 to November 2009 were involved in this study. They were divided into two groups according to all clinical data: death group (10 cases ) and survival group (120 cases ). The clinical data and complications were collected, and the hospital mortality and their causes were analyzed with Logistic regression analysis. Results Univariate analysis: total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin levels in death group [(30.31 ± 19.10), (22.38 ± 17.34) μmol/L] were significantly higher than those in survival group [(19.47 ± 8.61),(12.92 ± 7.30) μmol/L] (P ＜ 0.01). The incidence of postoperative complications,history of cerebral infarction and cardiovascular complications in death group were significantly higher than those in survival group (P ＜0.01). The Logistic regression analysis showed that the postoperative complications was an independent risk factor for hospital mortality (P =0.002). Conclusions RHD with postoperative complications is identified as an independent predictor of hospital mortality. It is very important to enhance the treatment and care during hospitalization.
