Objective To develop a method for determining verbascoside in Mitonghua Granules by HPLC. Method Verbascoside was determined by HPLC method,Agilent ZORBAX-Extend C18 column (4.6 mm?150 mm,5?m) with Acetonitrile-1 %Acetic acid(13∶87) as the mobile phase was used for elution.The flow rate was at 1.0 mL/min and the detective wavelength was at 334 nm. The column temperature was at 30 ℃. Results There was a good linearity relationship at the range of 0.062 8～1.256 0 ?g for verbascoside (r=0.999 83) .The average recovery was 99.61 %,and RSD was 1.55 %(n=6). Conclusion The method is simple,reproducible and accurate with a good repeatability,and can be used for the quality control of Mitonghua Capsules.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of progesterone on progesterone receptor in brain tissue with hypoxia-ischemia brain da-mage(HIBD) in neonatal rats,and discuss the protective mechanism of progesterone on HIBD of neonatal rats.MethodsTwenty-four 7-day-old neonatal rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham-operated group,hypoxia-ischemia group and pretreatment group.Rats in hypoxia-ischemia group and pretreatment group were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation,then were exposed to 80 mL/L oxygen and 920 mL/L nitrogen gas in 37 ℃ closed container for up to 2.5 h to establish hypoxia-ischemia encephalopathy(HIE) model.Progestero-ne was injected intraperitoneally into pretreatment group rats respectively at 30 minutes before hypoxia,solution was injected into the first 2 groups.All rats were killed at the 24 hour after operation,immunohistochemistry staining was used to examine the expression of progesterone receptor in brain.ResultsTotally 24 neonatal rats entered the result analysis without loss.Progesterone receptor was expressed in both endochylema and nucleus in every group rat.The amount of the positive cell of progesterone receptor in hypoxia-ischemia group significantly decreased compared with that in sham-operated group(P

Objective To explore the clinical value and typing characteristic of prenatal ultrasonography for fetal cystic adenomatoid malformation of the lung(CAML).Methods Ultrasonographic features and typing of fetal CAML in 41 cases detected by prenatal ultrasonography were analyzed retrospectively.All cases were followed up until to the induction of labor or birth.Results (1)Site of tumor: in the 41 cases,there were 22 cases on the left side,15 on the right side and 4 on bilateral.(2)Typing diagnosis of prenatal ultrasonography: three cases were CAML type Ⅰ,14 were type Ⅱ,and 24 cases were type Ⅲ.(3)Pathology diagnosis: thirty two cases were induced abortion.CAML was confirmed in 29 cases by autopsy and the classifications were consistent with the prenatal diagnosis of ultrasonography.Three pulmonary sequestration cases were prenatally misdiagnosed as CAML type Ⅲ by ultrasonography.(4)The other nine cases were followed up to birth.Three masses decreased gradually and then disappeared.Six newborns were confirmed as CAML by CT.Their typings were consistent with the postnatal diagnosis.(5)The diagnostic accuracy rate of prenatal ultrasonography for CAML was 92.7%(38/41).Its misdiagnostic rate was 7.3%(3/41).Conclusions Prenatal ultrasonography has a high accuracy rate for the diagnosis and classification of CAML and is the first choice to detect CAML early in pregnancy.It has an important clinical value.Pulmonary sequestration should be distinguished from CAML type Ⅲ because they tend to be confused.

Objective To investigate the effect of selenium on proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes of articular cartilage cultured in vitro in Kaschin-Beck disease(KBD) patients and normal person, to explore the role of selenium in control of KBD, and to provide evidence for selenium's effect on the growth of normal cartilage cells. Methods The articular cartilage samples of grade Ⅱ and Ⅲ KBD patients were selected according to the national "Clinical Diagnosis of KBD" (GB 16003-1995). Chondrocytes of 5 KBD and 5 non-endemic normal accidentswere separated and cultured in vitro. KBD group and control group were given different doses of selenium (0,0.0125,0.0250,0.0500,0.1000,0.2500,0.5000,1.0000 mg/L, respectively). Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT),flow cytometric analysis, and immunocytochemical staining were used to observe the effect of selenium on cell growth and apoptosis in KBD and normal persons. Results MTT results showed that the cell proliferation rate in each dosage group of the control group at the 6th day(0.086 ± 0.025,0.077 ± 0.012,0.073 ± 0.027,0.071 ± 0.017,0.058 ± 0.028,0.052 ± 0.028 and 0.046 ± 0.037) was significantly lower than that of 0 mg/L group(0.138 ± 0.026,all P ＜ 0.05);the average cell proliferation rate was negative( - 0.001 ± 0.001, - 0.003 ± 0.000, - 0.003 ± 0.001and - 0.004 ± 0.001 ) in 0.1000 - 1.0000 mg/L dose group, which was significantly lower than that of the 0 mg/L group(0.025 ± 0.003, all P ＜ 0.05);compared with 0 mg/L group(0. 115 ± 0.011), the KBD 0.2500 mg/L dose group promoted cell proliferation(0.128 ± 0.037, P ＜ 0.05), the KBD 1.0000 mg/L dose group inhibited cell growth (0.071 ± 0.019, P ＜ 0.05). The apoptotic rate of 0.0500 - 1.0000 mg/L dose control group [ (18.88 ± 0.02)%,(17.58 ± 0.01)%, (17.09 ± 0.04)%, (56.00 ± 0.02)%, (57.85 ± 0.03)% ] were higher than that of the 0 mg/L group[(13.51 ± 0.01)%, all P ＜ 0.05];compared with 0 mg/L group[(25.84 ± 0.02)%], the apoptotic rate in KBD 0.0250 - 0.2500 mg/L dose group [ ( 13.69 ± 0.02) %, ( 15.96 ± 0.03 ) %, ( 16.68 ± 0.03 ) %, ( 16.67 ± 0.02) % ]were lower, and the apoptotic rate in 0.5000, 1.0000 mg/L dose group [ (59.58 ± 0.03)%, (73.48 ± 0.04)% ] were significantly higher(all P ＜ 0.05). The Fas expression in KBD 0.0500 - 0.2500 mg/L dose groups[ (41.2 ± 1.5)%,(40.3 ± 2.0)%, (50.2 ± 2.5)%] were lower than those of the same dose control group with selenium intervention [(52.4 ± 1.0)%, (67.2 ± 4.0)%, (75.1 ± 5.0)%, all P ＜ 0.05], the caspase-3 expression in KBD 0.0500,0.1000 mg/L dose groups[ (40.8 ± 1.1 )%, (45.1 ± 2.1 )%] were lower than those of the same dose control group with selenium intervention[ (68.0 ± 3.0)%, (70.6 ± 3.5)%, all P ＜ 0.05 ]. Conclusions Appropriate dose of selenium supplementation (0.1000 - 0.2500 mg/L) could promote the growth of KBD chondrocyte, decrease cell apoptosis,but have a damage when the dose of selenium ＞ 0.5000 mg/L;doses of selenium that could promote the growth of KBD chondrocyte does not mean to promote the growth of normal cartilage cells in vivo.

Objective To observe the protective effect of progesterone on brain edema in newborn rats with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy(HIE).Methods Fifty-two 7-day-old neonatal rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normol control group(group A),hypoxic-ischemic group (group B) and pretreatment groups(group C,D and E).Rats were subjected to left common carotid artery ligation,then were exposed to 8% oxygen and 92% nitrogen for 2.5 hours to establish HIE model.Progesterone was injected intraperitoneally into the groups C,D and E rats respectively at 30 minutes before hypoxia.All rats were killed at the 24 hours after operations,then the contents of water,sodium,potassium were mensurated. Results The contentation of water in group B was higher than that in group A,the contentation of water,sodium in groups C,D and E were significantly lower compared with group B, but the contents potassium were no difference between group C,E and B. Conclusion Progesterone exerts a prominent preventive and protetive effects on the hypoxic ischemic brain edema in newborn rats.
