Objective To optimize the technology of extracting Paeoniflorin and Puerarin from Tongqing Granules. Methods The experiment used the orthogonal experimental design (4 factors and 3 levels) with the shift-rate of Paeoniflorin and Puerarin as experimental criterion in screening the factors affecting the technology of extracting Tongqing Granules. Results All the 3 factors designed in the orthogonal experiment non-signifantly affected the extracting technology. In consideration of the industrial practice, the best condition of extracting the constituents from Tongqing Granules was decided:water extraction for 3 times, extracting with 12 fold water for 1 hours for the first time, with 5 fold water for 0.5 hours for the second time, and with 5 fold water for 0.5 hour for the third time. Conclusion The condition is the optimized technology of extracting Paeoniflorin and Puerarin from Tongqing Granules.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes of blood coagulation index before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy and the chemotherapeutic efficacy in patients with breast cancer.Methods Ninety patients with breast cancer were selected,and detected the changes of blood coagulation index before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (TAC regimen),and the relationship between blood coagulation index and the chemotherapeutic efficacy were analyzed.Results The levels of fibrinogen (Fib),platelet count (PLT) after chemotherapy were significantly higher than those before chemotherapy [(3.42 ±0.50) g/L vs.(2.44 ±0.46) g/L,(267.83 ±61.34) × 109/L vs.(174.18 ±48.65) × 109/L] (P ＜ 0.01),D-dimer (D-D) was significantly lower than that before chemotherapy [(176.32 ± 101.41) mg/L vs.(214.55 ± 106.34) mg/L] (P ＜ 0.01).The remaining indicators before and after chemotherapy had no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05).The level of D-D in 68 cases was reduced after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 53 cases (77.9％,53/68),ineffective in 15 cases (22.1％,15/68);the level of D-D in 22 cases was increased after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 9 cases (40.9％,9/22),ineffective in 13 cases (59.1％,13/22),the difference was statistically significant (P=0.000).The level of PLT in 10 cases was reduced after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 3 cases(3/10),ineffective in 7 cases (7/10);the level of PLT in 80 cases was increased after chemotherapy,the effective chemotherapy in 59 cases (73.8％,59/80),ineffective in 21 cases (26.3％,21/80),the difference was statistically significant (P=0.044).Conclusions The Fib and PLT increase while the D-D decreases after chemotherapy,so it is necessary to monitor Fib,PLT,D-D level during chemotherapy.The D-D and PLT are effective indexes in evaluating curative effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with breast cancer.

Objective: To study the effect of hyperglycemia on uncoupling protein (UCP) mRNA expression in mouse brain microvessel endothelial cell line bEnd. 3, and to investigate the regulatory effect of resveratrol on the expression. Methods: Mouse bEnd. 3 cells were cultured in vitro. The mRNA levels of UCP1-5 in bEnd. 3 cells were determined by RT-PCR after exposure to different concentrations of glucose(5.5inverted commas25 mmol/L) and resveratrol (25μ/L). Results: We found that exposure to 25 mmol/L glucose for 24 h up-regulated the expression of UCP4 and UCP5 mRNA levels (P<0.05), but had no noticeable influence on the expression of UCPl and UCP2 mRNA levels. Resveratrol increased UCP5 mRNA levels under baseline and hyperglycemia conditions (P<0.05), and it decreased reactive oxygen specices(ROS) induced by hyperglycemia condition (P<0.05). Conclusion: High glucose stimulation can specifically up-regulate UCP4 and UCP5 mRNA expression in mouse brain microvessel endothelial cells. Resveratrol can greatly decrease ROS production induced by hyperglycemia condition and up-regulate UCP5 mRNA expression.

Objective: To investigate the role of host derived matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) in the pathogenesis of pulpitis. Methods:The expressions of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were examined by immunohistochemical method and the activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9 were measured by gelatin zymography in 20 clinically healthy and 20 inflamed human dental pulps of extracted mandibular 3rd molars.Results:In clinically healthy and inflamed human pulps both MMP-2 and MMP-9 were expressed in odontoblasts and fibroblasts. The pro-MMP-9 was detectable in both inflamed and healthy pulps. The level of pro-MMP-9 was higher in inflamed pulps than that in the healthy(P0.05).Pro-MMP-2 and active MMP-2 were not detectable in the pulps of the two groups. Conclusion:MMP-9 may involve in the pathogenesis of pulpitis.
