Objective To investigate the protective effect of magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate on the liver of hepatic arterial chemoembolization.Methods 68 patients with hepatic arterial chemoembolization were selected as research subjects,they were divided into magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group and control group.All patients were routinely given hepatoprotective drug treatment from seven days before surgery until three days after surgery,magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group was given magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate treatment on the basis of hepatoprotective treatment. Detected and compared the alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,total bilirubin,total protein,albumin and cholinesterase levels before and after liver cancer before and after surgery.Results The alanine aminotrans-ferase,aspartate aminotransferase levels at 3 days after surgery[(60.2 ±25.8)and (71.5 ±29.6)IU /L]were higher than before surgery in the control group[(34.7 ±18.6)and (49.5 ±20.4)IU /L](t =7.264 and 5.974,all P <0.05).The alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase levels at 3 days after surgery had no differences with before surgery in the magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group (P >0.05).The alanine aminotransferase,aspartate amin-otransferase and total bilirubin levels before surgery in magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group had no differences with the control group (P >0.05).The alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase levels at 3 days after surgery in the magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group[(44.8 ±22.8)and (57.3 ±24.8)IU /L]were higher than those in the control group[(60.2 ±25.8)and (71.5 ±29.6)IU /L](t =6.385 and 7.358,all P <0.05).The albumin and cholinesterase levels at 3 days after surgery in the magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group and the control group[(28.4 ± 4.7)g/L,(8.0 ±4.8)kU /L and (29.3 ±3.5)g/L,(6.9 ±4.3)kU /L]were lower than before surgery[(34.2 ± 4.3)g/L,(9.3 ±5.4)kU /L and (33.7 ±3.9)g/L,(9.0 ±5.8)kU /L](t =11.834,6.247 and 10.276,8.743,all P <0.05).The albumin and cholinesterase levels before surgery in the magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group had no differences with the control group (P >0.05).The albumin and cholinesterase levels at 3 days after surgery in the magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group[(28.4 ±4.7)g/L,(8.0 ±4.8)kU /L]were lower than those of control group [(29.3 ±3.5 )g/L,(6.9 ±4.3)kU /L](t =8.436 and 6.947,all P <0.05 ).The incidence rates of adverse reactions of the magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate group (upper abdominal pain incidence rate was 35.3%,fever incidence rate was 29.4%,nausea and vomiting incidence rate was 52.9%)were lower than those of the control group(55.9%,88.2%,76.5%)(χ2 =7.246,6.472,6.274,all P <0.05).Conclusion Hepatic arterial chemoem-bolization has some damage to liver function of liver cancer patients.Magnesium isoglycyrrhizinate can reduce liver damage,improve liver synthetic function,and has a protective effect on liver.

The study is aimed to investigate the effect of plant growth regulators on yield and quality of the Salvia miltiorrhiza. The plant growth regulators was spraying on Salvia plants in July or August in field experiment, then the yield, ingredient content and the antioxidant activity were determined. The results showed that plant growth regulator 'Zhuanggenling' could increase the yield of Salvia with root-planting by 38.45%. Plant growth regulator 'Duoxiaozuo' could increase the yield of Salvia with seedling planting by 14.19%. Both plant growth regulator significantly reduced the antioxidant activity of Salvia in vitro, but they had no significant effect on active ingredient contents.

Objective: To investigate the effect of all trans retinoid acid (ATRA) on bone cell proliferation and differentiation. Methods: Newborn rat calvarial osteoblastic cells were isolated and the metabolism of the osteoblastic cells were determined by MTT, Goldens method and immunocytohistologic method. Results: 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 , 10 -8 , 10 -9 mol/L ATRA could increase osteoblastic cells proliferation after 72 h culture; 10 -5 , 10 -6 , 10 -7 mol/L ATRA could increase ALP activity. The expression of cyclin D 1 was decreased. Conclusion: ATRA stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of rat calvarial osteoblastic cells in vitro. Cell cycle relative proteins may play an important role in control of cell proliferation and differentiation induced by retinoic acid and derivatives.

Objective: To investigate the effect of nocturnal hypertension in essential hypertension (EH) patients with early renal dysfunction. Methods: A total of 182 EH patients were enrolled in this study. According to weather the average night blood pressure (BP) > 120/70 mmHg, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Nocturnal hypertension group,n=89 and Control group,n=93. The levels of urine micro albumin (mALB), podocalyxin (PCX) and serum Cyst-C were examined and compared between 2 groups. Results:① For BP: the average systolic and diastolic BP in Nocturnal hypertension group were higher than those in Control group as SBP (138.05 ± 6.33) mmHg vs (102.51 ± 8.76) mmHg, DBP (84.11 ± 6.32) mmHg vs (70.03 ± 4.56) mmHg, P<0.05. ② For renal dysfunction biomarkers: several biomarker levels were higher in Nocturnal hypertension group than those in Control group as mALB (13.60 ± 0.69) mg vs (10.04 ± 0.73) mg, PCX (5.35 ± 1.69) ng/ml vs (2.05 ± 0.88) ng/ml and serum Cyst-C (1.35 ± 0.69) mg/L vs (1.02 ± 0.44) mg/L, allP<0.05.③ For correlation study: In Nocturnal hypertension group, the PCX level was positively correlated to the levels of mALB (r=0.675,P<0.05), Cyst-C (r=0.734,P<0.05), night BP (r=0.830, P<0.05) and the duration EH (r=0.688,P<0.05). Conclusion: EH patients with nocturnal hypertension have more incidences to suffer from renal dysfunction, the examination of mALB, PCX and Cyst-C are beneifciary for the early diagnosis in relevant patients.

Objective To analyze the allergens detection in asthmatic infants and young children. Methods The specific IgE test and allergens screening test were conducted in 243 infants and young children with whooping diseases including asthmatic bronchitis, asthmatic pneumonia and asthma by skin prick test and Pharmacia UniCAP test. Results 1. Food allergen was the allergen detection most frequently in infants(P = 0.03). The proportion of aeroallergens increased significantly with age (positive rate:67. 2%). Milk and egg white was the main food allergen detection in infants and young children,and the main aeroallergen detection was house dust mite. 2. The allergen - specific IgE test using UniCAP test system was more accurate than skin prick test. Conclusions The infants are more susceptible to food hypersensitivity; the increasing opportunity of aeroallergen exposure may lead to a higher prevalence of aeroallergens in young children. UniCAP system is more accurate than other methods.

Objective To investigate the distribution and antibiotic resistance of A.baumannii during the last five years in our hospital,the basis for the reasonable clinical use of antibiotic was provided to doctor.Methods The strains of A.baumannii isolated from clinical specimens during 2009-2013 were analyzed by VITEK-32 system,the antibiotic resistance was analyzed by WHONET5.4 software.Results A.baumannii strains were mainly isolated from sputum,accounting for 77.3％;the majority of the strains were isolated from ICU,accounting for 42.3％;the resistance rates of A.baumannii to antibiotics appeared increasing,and over 70％ except cefoperazone-sulbactam and imipenem.Conclusion A.baumannii is the major pathogen,and detection rate of A.baumannii is very high,antibiotic resistance status of A.baumannii is very serious.The management of antibiotic application should be strengthened,and the occurrence and prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria should be strictly controlled to prevent outbreak and epidemic of nosocomial infection.

With inlet temperature, specific gravity, feeding speed as independent variables, the comprehensive evaluating indexes of content of schisandrin and arctiin as dependent variable, the experimental data were fitted to a second order polynomial equation. Based on establishing the mathematical relationship between the comprehensive evaluating indexes and respective variables, Box-Benhnken central composite test and response surface analysis method was employed to optimize the spray drying technology of Biqiu granules ethanol extract. The optimal drying parameter was as follows: the inlet temperature was 175 degrees C, the specific gravity was 1.10, feeding speed was 32 r x min(-1). Under these conditions, the comprehensive evaluating indexes of spraying dry processes was 92.68, which was close to the model prediction. The spraying dry technology of Biqiu granules ethanol extract optimized by response surface methodology was accurate and feasible, which provided theoretical experiment basis for the industrialization production.
