Objective:To optimize the extraction technology of compound Xiongdan capsules. Methods: The effects of water a-mount, decoction duration and decoction times on the water extraction technology were investigated by orthogonal design using the ex-tract derivation rate and the content of ginsenoside Rg1 , Re and Rb1 as the indices. Results:The optimal water extraction conditions for ginseng and Nidus vespa were as follows:decocting three times with 8-fold of water, and extracting for one hour each time. The extract was condensed until the relative density was 1.20(80-90℃), and then dried and crushed into fine powder. The other herbs were crushed into fine powder and screened by No. 5 meshes. The above powder was blended and well mixed with starch, and then packed into capsules. Conclusion:The optimized water extraction technology is stable, feasible and reproducible, which provide reference for industrial production.

Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of multipoint transfixion combined with filling of temporal fascia and the lateral orbicularis oculi muscle as an alternative rejuvenation technique on crow's feet wrinkles during face lift.Methods A retrospective review was conducted in 86 patients who underwent crow's feet wrinkles treatment during 2005 and 2009.During operation orbicularis' strength was broken down and blocked when we multi-pointly sutured and fixed the orbicularis oculi and deep tissue,temproal musculofascia was filled on the surface of multi-pointly sutured orbicularis oculi.By postoperative follow-up,complications,aesthetic outcome,and patient's satisfaction were recorded.Results In the group of 86 cases,50 cases were followed up from 3 to 28 months.The effect was lasting obviously and there was no any severe complications,such as hematoma or nerve injury.Patients were satisfied with their results.Among the total,2 patients appeared the temporary movement loss of the eyebrows in one side,but both recovered 3 months later.And 1 case appeared subcutaneous nodular inflammation and recovered after pulling out the suture.Conclusions The authors demonstrate that combination of filling with temporal fascia and the multipoint transfixion of lateral orbicularis oculi muscle is a safe technique,which may be a good alternative for periorbital rejuvenation and help in avoiding lower lid incisions or extensive dissections during face lifting in some cases.

The adverse reaction monitoring is important in warning the risks of traditional Chinese medicines at an early stage, finding potential quality problems and ensuring the safe clinical medication. In the study, efforts were made to investigate the risk signal mining techniques in line with the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicines, particularly the complexity in component, processing, compatibility, preparation and clinical medication, find early risk signals of traditional Chinese medicines and establish a traditional Chinese medicine safety evaluation system based on adverse reaction risk signals, in order to improve the target studies on traditional Chinese medicine safety, effective and timely control risks and solve the existing frequent safety issue in traditional Chinese medicines.

Post-marketing evaluation is a process which evaluate the risks and benefits of drug clinical application comprehensively and systematically, scientific and systematic results of post-marketing evaluation not only can provide data support for clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine, but also can be a reliable basis for the supervision department to develop risk control measures. With the increasing demands for treatment and prevention of disease, traditional Chinese medicine has been widely used, and security issues are also exposed. How to find risk signal of traditional Chinese medicine in the early stages, carry out targeted evaluation work and control risk timely have become challenges in the development of traditional Chinese medicine industry.

Objective To explore the effective measurements of integrated therapy for the ear keloids in the Oriental. Methods Surgical excision was performed for keloid, and the cut then sutured directly or with flap transfer. At early stage of surgery (within 24 hours), X-ray or electron-ray radiotherapy was used for 3-5 times once daily; and steroids injected after cutting lines at 7th day every two weeks and gradually ended. Results A total of 48 patients were treated, and followed, in which 12 patients were lost of follow-up. The total effective rate was 94. 4 % based on the data of follow-up in 36 patients for 1-3 years. Therefore, the curation rate was 83. 3 % (30 cases) and effective rate 11. 1 % (4 cases). Conclusions Surgical cutting combined with early radiotherapy and steroids injection is the effective integrated therapy for the ear keloids in the Oriental.

Aim To investigate the effect of PLK1 on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)of human e-sophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC)cells TE-1 5 and its relevant molecular mechanisms.Methods PLK1 overexpressed ESCC cells and control vector were used as the experimental cells.The expression of EMT-related protein markers E-cadherin and vimentin were measured by Western blot.vimentin mRNA was measured by Real-time PCR.Total cellular protein and nuclear protein were respectively extracted,and then they were used to detect the expression of β-catenin by Western blot.β-catenin siRNA and non-specific siR-NA were transiently transfected into the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 ,and then vimentin was detected by Western blot.β-catenin protein degradation com-plex was detected by immunoprecipitation and Western blot.Results The mesenchymal marker vimentin was distinctively upregulated and the epithelial marker E-cadherin was distinctively downregulated in the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 ,compared with those in the vector clones.This indicated that EMT occurred in ESCC cells.vimentin mRNA was also markedly in-creased.In the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 ,β-catenin were both elevated from the total cells and the nucleus.The expression of vimentin was reduced whenβ-catenin was knocked down.APC and GSK-3βwere both reduced from Axin immunoprecipitate in the cell clones overexpressed PLK1 .Conclusion PLK1 up-regulates vimentin and promotes EMT in ESCC cells probably by inhibiting the formation of protein degrada-tion complex and stabilizing β-catenin.
