Objective To develop a high performance liquid chromatography method for the determination of methylisothiazolinones and chloro-methylisothiazolinoe in cosmetics. Methods The cosmetic samples were extracted with methanol. The analytes were separated with the mobile phase of V(Methanol)∶V(Water)= 25∶75 at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and detected at the wavelength of 276 nm. Results The linear range of the method was 0.05-100 mg/ml for methylisothiazolinone and 0.0125-25 mg/ml for chloro-methylisothiazolinoe. The limit of detection of methylisothiazolinone and chloro-methylisothiazolinoe were 0.08 and 0.2 ?g respectively. The recovery rates were 84.5%-93.9% with the RSD of 2.5%-9.4% (n=6) for methylisothiazolinone and 88.3%-92.9% with the RSD of 2.9%-5.8% (n=6) for chloro-methylisothiazolinoe. Conclusion The method is simple,rapid,accurate and is suitable for the determination of methylisothiazolinone and chloro-methylisothiazolinoe in cosmetics.

Objective To study the effect of puerarin on the nitrogen monoxide(NO) concentration in rats with pre-eclampsia. Methods Thirty SD rats were selected and divided into three groups: normal pregnancy group, pre-eclampsia model group and puerarin group(10 rats in each group). We used endotoxin to set up the pre-eclampsia model rats on gestation 14th day and puerarin to treat these rats. The 24 hour urine protein on gestation 8th,15th,19th days were determined, as well as the heart rate, blood pressure on gestation 10th,15th,19th days. Nitrate reductase method was used to determine the plasma NO concentration of each group on gestation 21st day. Results (1) There was significant difference in urine protein concentration between the puerarin [(73 ? 20) ?g],pre-eclampsia [ (464 ? 57)?g], and normal pregnancy [(140 ? 12)?g], groups (which is equal to the value of urine protein of pregnancy 19th day subtracting that of pregnancy 8th day, P0.05).(4)There was significant difference in NO concentration (NO concentration at gestation 19th day subtracting that of 8th day) between the three groups(P

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion in intervening acute ischemic stroke. Methods: A total of 112 patients were divided into a control group and an observation group by the random number table method, with 56 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional treatment, and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were evaluated, and the intracranial hemodynamic indicators including mean velocity (Vm), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) were recorded, and the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and homocysteine (HCY) were measured before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the NIHSS scores in both groups decreased significantly (both P<0.05), and the MBI scores increased significantly (both P<0.05). The improvements of NIHSS and MBI scores in the observation group were superior to those in the control group (both P<0.05). Vm in both groups increased significantly (both P<0.05), PI and RI decreased (all P<0.05), and Vm, PI and RI in the observation group were superior to those in the control group (all P<0.05). The serum levels of SOD and HCY in the observation group were significantly improved, and were statistically different from those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Conventional treatment plus heat-sensitive moxibustion is effective in intervening acute ischemic stroke. It can promote the recovery of neurological function, improve daily activities, and improve intracranial blood flow, which may be related to the regulation of serum SOD and HCY levels.

Objective To study the oxidative stress and apoptosis relative protein expression in rat striatum during the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) induced by 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA). Methods 6-OHDA was stereotacticly injected into the right striatum of the rats at two sites to produce PD models. Activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), contents of reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the injured and normal striatum were measured using assay kits; and levels of Bax and Bcl-2 were detected by Western blotting in injured striatum. Results In 10 successful PD rats, compared with either the sham group or the normal group, activities of SOD and GSH-Px and contents of GSH in the right striatum significantly decreased while contents of MDA increased obviously (P<0.05); And levels of Bax significantly increased while expression of Bcl-2 obviously decreased. Conclusion Oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of PD. Furthermore, Bax and Bcl-2 were involved in the regulation of apoptosis under oxidative stress induced by 6-OHDA.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion for vascular dementia and explore its mechanism. Methods: A total of 70 patients with vascular dementia were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 35 cases in each group. The control group was treated with piracetam, and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment of the control group. The treatment lasted for 8 weeks. Before and after the treatment, the mini-mental state examination (MMSE), activity of daily living (ADL) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores were assessed, and the levels of acetyl choline (Ach) and homocysteine (Hcy) were measured. The efficacy was evaluated after treatment. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the MMSE and ADL scores in the observation group decreased significantly, and were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05); the TCM symptom score of the observation group decreased significantly (P<0.05), while that of the control group had no significant change (P>0.05); the plasma Ach level in the observation group increased significantly (P<0.05), and the Hcy level decreased significantly (P<0.05), which were statistically different from those in the control group (both P<0.05). Conclusion: Heat-sensitive moxibustion plus piracetam is effective in treating vascular dementia. It can significantly improve dementia symptoms and ADL, which may be related to the correction of plasma Ach and Hcy levels.

Objective To discuss the clinical efficacy of surgery for chronic subdural hematoma assisted by rigid neuroendoscope and its surgical techniques. Methods Clinical data of 161 patients with chronic subdural hematoma from August 2009 to December 2015 was analyzed retrospectively. 74 of them experienced surgeries assisted by rigid neuroendoscope (endoscope group) and other 87 cases were operated without neuroendoscope (routine group) during the same period. Results Although there were significant difference in operative duration between the two groups, complications, ratio of total removal of hematoma after surgery, postoperative inpatient duration and recurrent rate of hematoma were more advantageous in endoscope group. The operative duration of endoscope group with (112.68 ± 34.86) min was longer than that of routine group with (74.11 ± 28.23) min (t = 7.75, P = 0.000), while the postoperative inpatient duration of endoscope group with (8.23 ± 2.01) d was shorter than that of another group with (10.79 ± 5.02) d (t = -4.12, P = 0.000). There were no surgical associated complications in endoscope group, but 1 patient in routine group experienced intracerebral hematoma of frontal lobe and associated aphemia. Total removal of hematoma was confirmed in endoscope group with 98.65% (73/74), which was higher than that in routine group with 86.21% (75/78) (χ2 = 8.34, P = 0.004). Hematoma recurrence was found in 16 cases of routine group (18.39%), but more superiority in endoscope group with 1.35% (χ2 = 12.29, P = 0.000). Outpatient follow-up was carried out in all patients from 6 to 38 months with an average duration of 30.06 months. In 17 cases with recurrent hematoma during follow-up, 15 of them were cured by a second surgery, and another 2 patients were cured by atorvastatin. Conclusion As a simple, safe and effective technique, the application of rigid neuroendoscope during surgery for chronic subdural hematoma is more advantage than routine surgery. A self-made suction with adjustable soft curved tip is suitable for such procedure.

Objective To evaluate whether estradiol can inhibit and cure the inflammation of experimental preeclampsia in rats. Methods Experimental preeclampsia was induced in 14-day-pregnant rats by infusion of endotoxin (1.0 ?g/kg). Rats with normal pregnancy were infused with sodium chloride solution.A group of preeclampsia rats was injected with 17?-estradiol (17?-E_2, 1 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 ). Blood pressure, albuminuria,inflammation associated adhesion molecule CD_ 49d and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?) were assessed. Results On pregnant day 19, for normal pregnancy group(group C) the blood pressure was (120.4?2.0)mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa),urinary protein (0.47?0.06)mg/24 hours;for experimental preeclampsia group(group A) blood pressure was (134.2?2.4) mm Hg,urinary protein(0.79?0.10)mg/24 hours; for experimental preeclampsia with 17?-E_2 treatment group (group B) blood pressure was(123.3?1.7)mm Hg,urinary protein (0.51?0.08)mg/24 hours. A significant increase of blood pressure and urinary albumin was observed in group A. CD_ 49d expression and TNF-? concentration were also increased. 17?-E_2 reduced the expression of CD_ 49d , concentration of TNF-?,blood pressure and albuminuria of experimental preeclampsia. However, the weight of fetuses in 17?-E_2 treatment group were less than that in other groups. Conclusion 17?-E_2 can improve the symptoms of experimental preeclampsia,but its effects on fetus need to be further studied.
