To discuss the ultrasonic testing intelligent infusion pump tubing bubble method. When the ultrasonic wave goes through the interface of two different media, the reflection occurs, refraction, transmission and other physical phenomena can occur because of a large extent acoustic impedance difference between water and air, which can be used in this physical phenomenon, by monitoring the ultrasonic energy (output voltage) can be obtained if the extent of the presence of bubbles and bubble exists within the infusion tube. By measuring the penetration of ultrasonic energy, we detected air bubbles within the infusion line. Ultrasound can accurately detect air bubbles in the infusion line, which is the main method of detecting air bubbles for infusion pump.

Autophagy and apoptosis are two kinds of important ways of neuronal death in cerebral ischemia.The interaction of both in ischemic penumbra may alleviate or aggravate cerebral ischemic injury.This article reviews the role of autophagy and apoptosis in cerebral ischemia and their potential regulating mechanisms of interaction.

?Dry eye ( DE) is a multifactorial disease of tear film and ocular surface. Inflammation in the ocular surface plays a main role in the pathogenesis of DE. Accordingly, inflammation and therapies that inhibit immune response may become topic for DE in recent years. Unfortunately, there are few studies about signaling pathway that has changed in ocular surface of DE. It is novel and there are few researches on how inflammation active signaling pathway and how it was regulated by signaling pathway on DE. This paper presents a review about inflammation active signaling pathway and its regulation on signaling pathway of DE.

AIM: To provide a HPLC fingerprint of Fructus aurantii micropowder in order to create a basis for(identification.) METHODS: With the help of computer similarity evaluation,Seventeen kinds of Fructus aruantii sample were pulverized and micronized separately,then were extracted by methanol and compared correlation between both extracts. RESULTS: In methanol extraction,contents of aurantiamarin,hesperidin and neohesperidin in micropowder were more than that in pulverized powders,correlation of both HPLC fingerprint was 0.9~1.0. CONCLUSION: The method established can be used for identifying and evaluating crud drug of Fructus aurantii,and further prove that micronization is beneficial to increasing flavonoid dissolution.

AIM: To provide application and identification basis for methanol-extratis of Fructus aurantii by constructing the HPLC-FP. METHODS: The C_(18) column was used with a mobile phase of(A)(0.095%) phosphoric acid acetonitrile-(B)(0.095%) phosphoric acid gradient elution.The flow rate was(1.0) mL/min.The wavelength of detecter was set at 330 nm.Naringin was reference standard. RESULTS: By cluster analysis,the eighteen kinds of Fructus aurantii samples were classified as four clusters: the superior in producing area,the ordinary in producing area,the ordinary and the inferior.By similarity calculation,the similarity of the superior in producing area and the ordinary in producing area were(0.9)～(1.0),and the ordinary and the inferior were less than(0.9). CONCLUSION: The HPLC-FP of Fructus aurantii has been established.The method can be used to identify and evaluate the quality of Fructus aurantii.

OBJECTIVEThe changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT) and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats were observed after targetedly damaged the cerebraspinal fluid-contacting nucleus (CSF-contacting nucleus) to provide experimental evidence for the mechanism of regulating pain CSF-contacting nucleus involved in.

METHODSMale adult SD rats were divided into control, sham, choleratoxin subunit B conjugated with horse-radish peroxidase (CB-HRP)and damage groups randomly. The pain threshold using mechanical withdrawal threshold (MWT) and thermal withdrawal latency (TWL) were recorded and analyzed. Immunofluorescence method was used to observe the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn.

RESULTSCompared with the control, sham and CB-HRP groups, the MWT and TWL of the damage group were significantly increased (P < 0.05). The results of immunofluorescence showed that 5-HT was detected in neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus. In the damage group, the number of neurons of CSF-contacting nucleus reduced gradually, and no survived neurons were observed at the 10th day. Meanwhile, both the expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn increased gradually, and negatively correlated with the change of pain threshold.

CONCLUSIONThe method of targeted damaging CSF-contacting nucleus by cholera toxin subnit B conjugated with saporin(CB-SAP) is scientific and reliable, and it results in the changes of pain threshold and expression of 5-HT and c-Fos in spinal dorsal horn of rats. This study suggests that CSF-contacting nucleus participate in the regulation of pain, moreover, 5-HT and c-Fos play important roles in this regulation.

AIM: To compare the chemical compositions in the expressed oil from euphorbia before and after processing.METHODS: GC-MS was used to compare the chemical compositions in the expressed oil before and after processed euphorbia.RESULTS : Tirty-four chemical compounds were detected in the expressed oil of the raw and 30 of the processed.CONCLUSION: Processing has the major effect on the chemical compositions in the expressed oil of euphorbia.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicinal herbs(TCMH) on benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH) and their influence on proliferation and apoptosis of prostate cells in experimental mice. Methods A total of 120 male Kunming mice(weight,30 to 40 g)were randomly divided into 5 groups:①normal control group;②hyperplastic group;③normal saline(NS)(negative control)group;④TCMH group;⑤finasteride (positive control) group.Each group included 24 mice.The mice in normal control group were killed and their prostates were weighed.The BPH model was induced by implanting the urogenital sinus in the mice in other 4 groups.In the 61st day,the prostate weight of the mice in hyperplastic group was examined after they were killed;and the mice in the remaining groups were fed with NS,TCMH and finasteride,respectively.In the 91st day,the mice in these 3 groups were killed and their prostates were weighed.The proliferation and apoptosis of the prostate cells of mice in the 3 groups were determined by flow cytometry(FCM). Results The prostates in hyperplastic group [(149.30?8.46)mg] were heavier than those in TCMH group [(85.60?17.97)mg] ( P 0.05). Conclusions The TCMH has a significant therapeutic effects on experimental mice with BPH.The mechanisms may be as follows:TCMH can regulate the relevant genes of the prostate cells so that they can promote the apoptosis of the prostate cells and as a result,the volume and weight of the prostate of the mice are reduced.
