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.

BACKGROUND:The molecular mechanism of traumatic deep vein thrombosis is complex.Numerous studies focus on clinical observation and epidemiology,but its molecular mechanism has not been a new breakthrough.OBJECTIVE:By use of gene array technology,this study was aimed to study the expression changes of matrix metalloproteinases in rat models of traumatic deep vein thrombosis,and to explore the roles of matrix metalloproteinases in traumatic deep venous thrombosis.METHODS:A total of 150 SD rats,SPF grade,of 8-12 weeks old,body weight of 250-300 g,were divided at random into normal control group (n=10) and model group (n=140).Rat traumatic deep venous thrombosis models were set up by clamping the femoral vein and fixing the bilateral hind limbs,and the fixation of hip spica with plaster bandage was conducted in each group.Then rats were divided into 7 subgroups:post-traumatic 0.5 hours,post-traumatic 2.5 hours (initial period of thrombosis),post-traumatic 25 hours (thrombogenesis at thrombotic crest-time),post-traumatic 25 hours non-thrombogenesis at the thrombotic crest-time),post-traumatic 72 hours (thrombus resolution),post-traumatic 72 hours thrombus insolution) and post-traumatic 168 hours (nonthrombosis).At the corresponding phasess,the femoral vein tissues were incised,and total RNA of femoral vein was extracted using Trizol one-step method.Applying Genechip Rat Genome 430 2.0 genechips,the gene expressions in femoral vein were detected in different groups.The rate of traumatic deep venous thrombogenesis and non-thrombogenesis,the rate of thrombi solution and insolution were observed;the expressions of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases at different time phases was detected by gene array data analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Three model rats died and the remaining 147 rats were involved in the final analysis.At the post-traumatic 25 hours,the rate of thrombogenesis was 50.5% and nonthrombogenesis was 49.5%.To the post-traumatic 168 hours,the rate of thrombus solution was 56.7% and thrombus insolution was 43.3%.Both matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases exhibited differential expressions in the course of traumatic deep venous thrombosis.Under the thrombus insolution state,matrix metalloproteinases continued to show a high expression,tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase expression was down-regulated in the thrombus formation,was significantly inhibited in the thrombus insoluUon process.In the process of traumatic deep vein thrombosis and insolution,matrix metalloproteinase was closely related to traumatic deep vein thrombosis,the matrix metalloproteinase/tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases are likely to affect the biological state of thrombosis.

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.
