OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of coumarin compounds in Yifu pill. METH-ODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Inertsil ODS-3 with mobile phase of acetonitrile-water(49∶51,V/V) at a flow rate was 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 320 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃,injection volume was 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 5.16-206.4μg/ml for osthole (r=0.999 9),37.40-1 495.89μg/ml for isoimperatorin(r=0.999 9) and 9.95-318.34 μg/ml for columbianadin(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3.0%;recov-eries were 96.05%-103.19%(RSD=2.18%,n=9) for osthole,96.90%-103.09%(RSD=2.07%,n=9) for isoimperatorin, 95.50%-103.57%(RSD=2.15%,n=9)for columbianadin. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple with good precision,stability and reproducibility,and can be used for the simultaneous determination of coumarin compounds in Yifu pill.

Peony and Licorice Decoction was effective in treating Restless leg syndrome(RLS) with the function of nourishing yin for softening liver,relaxing spasm and relieving pain.Clinical practice,ancient literature and Chinese medicine theory were comprehensively studied to conclude that blood stasis is the key cause of RLS.Promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis was the crucial therapy for RLS.

Objective To investigate the clinical features,etiology and related clinical factors in neonatal anemia.Methods Two hundreds and sixty four infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between January 2009 to March 2012 were retrospectively analysed with different levels,different age,different gestational age.Results Among 264 patients,the occupancy of blood loss anemia was 54.5 ％.Mild and medium neonatal anemia were more than severe anemia (172 vs 92).Fetomaternal hemorrhage syndrome occurred commonly in severe anemia (16.3％,15/92).Early anemia was more than late anemia(182 vs 82).Hemorrhagic anemia in early anemia (64.3％,117/82)occurred mainly.Late anemia with infection mainly (67.1％,55/82).Fetomaternal hemorrhage syndrome were all early anemia and term to account for a higher proportion (94.4％,17/18);twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome occurred commonly among preterm term infants (96.7％,29/30).Conclusion Blood loss anemia was the main etiological factor resulting in neonatal anemia.The incidence of mild and medium neonatal anemia was quite high.Early anemia was more than late anemia.There might be some differences in the etiology between term and perterm infants.

Objective To explore the management of Ttube following laparoscopic common bile duct exploration.Methods A total of 420 cases of extrahepatic with or without intrahepatic bile duct stones were given laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with T-tube drainage from July 1997 to October 2004 in this hospital.The common bile duct stones were identified and then a laparoscopic choledochotomy was carried out to remove the stones.After stone clearance,the choledochotomy wound was closed with primary duct suture or with T-tube drainage.Results The primary closure of the bile duct was performed in 27 cases((6.4%)) while the T-tube drainage was conducted in 393 cases(93.6%).The stones were completely removed during the operation in 236 cases(56.2%).Stone removal under choledochoscope was required in 184 cases(43.8%) after operation.The T-tubes were removed in 209 cases after a T-tube cholangiogram at 3~4 postoperative weeks showing no residual stones.Follow-up examinations for 3(months ~ 6) years(mean,47.5 months) in 420 cases revealed 3 cases of recurrence.Conclusions After laparoscopic common bile duct exploration,the T-tube should be removed at 3~4 postoperative weeks in the absence of residual stones on T-tube cholangiogram.However,if residual stones were found on T-tube cholangiogram,a choledochoscopy is needed for stone removal at 6 postoperative weeks after the tubes clamped for 2 weeks.

Objective To investigate the effects of Acanthopanax Senticosus Injection (ASI) on free radical metabolism and apoptosis in the hepatic tissue after hepatic ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods A total of 100 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: a sham operation group, a model group, and groups of high-, medium- and low-dose ASI, 20 rats in each group. Seven days before modeling, the drugs had been given by intraperitoneal injection. The rats in the high-, medium- and low-dose groups were given ASI 40, 80 and 120 mg/kg, respectively, and the rats in the sham operation and model groups were given equivalent volume of normal saline. A rat model of hepatic ischemia reperfusion was induced by partial hepatic pedicle clamping followed by reperfusion. 2 h after reperfusion, the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, GST and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue were determined; the activities of ALT and AST in serum were also determined; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis were observed using the HE staining and the TUNEL staining, respectively.Results In comparison with the model group, the activities of SOD (11.16 ± 2.31 U/mg, 10.63 ± 1.92 U/mgvs.7.34 ± 1.78 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GSH-Px (15.48 ± 2..91 U/mg, 13.23 ± 1.87 U/mgvs. 10.35 ± 2.04 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05), GST(1.76 ± 0.25 U/mg, 1.55 ± 0.22 U/mgvs.0.94 ± 0.18 U/mg;P<0.01 orP<0.05) in the hepatic tissue in the ASI high- and medium-dose groups were significantly increased; and the MDA level in the hepatic tissue significantly decreased (4.67 ± 1.24 nmol/mg, 4.93 ± 1.53 nmol/mgvs.10.29 ± 2.41 nmol/mg); the serum levels of ALT(671.82 ± 338.37 U/L, 803.91 ± 441.63 U/Lvs.1 416.22 ± 538.94 U/L;P<0.01 orP<0.05), AST(329.02 ± 161.88 U/L, 417.26 ± 182.37 U/Lvs.751.93 ± 262.75 U/L;P<0.01 or P<0.05) were significantly decreased; the histopathological changes and hepatocyte apoptosis in the ASI high-, medium - and low-dose groups were significantly reduced.Conclusions ASI could effectively attenuate oxidative stress in the, improve the histopathological changes, inhibit hepatocyte apoptosis, and protect against hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.
