To develop a method for the distinction of genuine Gastrodia elata B1. from its four falsified plants of common occurrence and determination of its active principle, gastrodin by capillary electrophoresis. Methods The electrophoretic conditions were a buffer solution containing 24 mmol/L borate (pH=9.4), at a voltage of 16 kV. Results The electrophorograms obtained under the above conditions showed easily distinguishable differences. Baseline separation of gastrodin was achieved and its quantitative analysis can be accomplished within 15 min. The linear correlation equation was Y=-0.048+7.79X (r=0.999). Conclusion This method could serve as an easy and precise method for the quality control of G. elata.

Objective To explore the expression and clinical significance of EphA2 and E-eadherin in colorectal carcinoma.Methods The expression of EphA2 and E-eadherin in 67 cases of eoloreetal carcinoma and 28 cases of normal large intestine tissues were determined by immunohistochemieal method(S-P method),and their relationship to elinicopathological characteristics were analyzed.Results The positive expression of EphA2 and negative expression of E-cadherin in colorectul carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than those in normal intestine tissues(P<0.01).F111e positive expression of EphA2 and negative expression of E-eadherin were positively correlated with tumor histological grade,invasive depth and lymph node metastasis(P<0.01 orP<0.05),but not correlated with tumor~ross type(P> O.05).The expression of EphA2 was negatively related with E-cadherin.Conclusions The abnormal expression of EphA2 and E-cadherin may be together involved in the development and progression of eolorectal carcinoma,It may be a good marker for monitoring the malignant degree and the prognosis of colorectal carcinoma by combining E-eadherin and EphA2.

Objective To explore clinical characteristics of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia complicated with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome(RPLS).Methods Clinical data of 31 cases of severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia complicated with RPLS were studied retrospectively.ResulIs These 31 cases with RPLS accounted for 48% of those with eclampsia,.and all presented with hypertension,headache and disturbalice of vision,24 cases with seizure episodes,19 cases with nausea and vomiting and 13 with continuous dysphoria after seizure.Neuroradiologic findings showed edema predominantly in the bilateral posterior cerebral white matter,especially in occipital-parietal lobe,with low density lesions in CT and long T1 and T2 signals in brain MRI. Conclusions Severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia tended to complicate with RPLS,presenting severe hypertension,headache,disturbance of vision and recurrent seizure as major clinical manifestations.

Objective To explore the value of the variation of clinical pulmonary infection score (CPIS) and serum procalcitonin (PCT) in diagnosis and treatment evaluation in patients suffering from active pulmonary tuberculosis with complication of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP).Methods A retrospective analysis was carried out in 58 VAP patients from June 1,2009 to December 30,2014 in the respiratory intensive care unit.According to the patient suffering from tuberculosis or not,patients were divided into two groups.The PCT and CPIS score changes were observed in the two groups of patients with intra-tracheal intubation 1,3 and 7 days after VAP onset.Comparisons of CPIS and PCT scores were carried out between two groups at different intervals after VAP onset.Data were statistically processed by SPSS 19.0.Count data were tested by x2,and measurement data were expressed by mean ± standard deviation (x-±s).The comparison within the groups was made by t test,whereas the comparison between the groups was by means of repeated measure analysis of variance and Bonferroni test;Pearson linear correlation analysis was used,and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results At the same observation interval in two groups of patients with VAP,there was no significant difference in the serum levels of PCT and CPIS score (P > 0.05);there were significant differences in PCT and CPIS scores between VAP occurred at the first day,the third day and at time of intra-tracheal intubation in two groups (P < 0.05).However,comparison of PCT and CPIS scores at the seventh day,the differences were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).In addition,at the 7 days the correlation coefficient between PCT and survival patients' mechanical ventilation,days in ICU and total length of hospital stay were 0.92,0.83,and 0.71,respectively,yet the 7-day CPIS score correlation coefficients were 0.83,0.74 and 0.70,(both P < 0.05).Conclusions Early monitoring of serum PCT and CIPS score of pulmonary tuberculosis patients can judge the incidence of VAP,and the variations of PCT and CIPS score can predict the severity and prognosis of the disease as well.

AIM: To investigate the effects of astragalus injection combined with puerarin injection on endo-plasmic reticulum stress through PERK pathway in diabetic nephropathy mice .METHODS: Male KKAy mice were ran-domly divided into model group ( injected with normal saline ) and treatment group ( injected with astragalus and puerarin ) . The male C57BL/6J mice served as normal group .The mice were sacrificed 4 weeks after treatments for observing morpho-logical changes under electron microscope .The renal tissues were collected to determine the expression of protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase ( PERK ) , eukaryotic initiation factor 2α( eIF2α) and glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) at mRNA and protein levels by real-time PCR and Western blot.RESULTS: Under electron microscope, the renal tubular epithelial cells in model group and treatment group showed the swelling of the nucleus , endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria .The results of real-time PCR and Western blot showed that the expression of PERK , eIF2αand GRP78 at mRNA and protein levels in model group was higher than that in normal group (P<0.05), while that in treatment group was lower than that in model group .CONCLUSION: Astragalus injection combined with puerarin injection reduces the mRNA and protein expression of PERK , eIF2αand GRP78, thus inhibiting the endoplasmic reticulum stress in type 2 dia-betic mice to protect the kidney function .

Objective:To observe the changes of glyeemia, urine protein, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and glycosylated hemoglobin in diabetic nephropathy rats and treating effects of Xiaokekang. Methods: Streptozotocin (STZ) was abdominally administered and was feeded by high lipid diet to establish diabetic nephropathy model in rats. Animals were divided into three groups: model group, Xiaokekang treatment group and normal group. Changes in glycemia, serum lipids, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen were measured at the 8th, 12th and 16th week after STZ injection. Glycosylated hemoglobin was measured at the 16th weeks after STZ injection. Results: Glycemia, serum lipids, serum creatinine were higher at the 8th, 12th and 16th week compared with normal group. Serum creatinine was higher at the 12th and 16th week, and glycosylated hemoglobin was also highter than that of the normal group. Xiaokekang reduced these changes. Conclusion: Xiaokekang can reduce glycemia, serum lipids and protect renal function.
