Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Qufeng Qingre Weiling Decoction combined with the decreasing amount of loratadine in treatment of chronic urticaria (CU). Methods Totally 108 CU patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group, 54 cases in each group. The treatment group was given Qufeng Qingre Weiling Decoction combined with the decreasing amount of loratadine (10 mg, 1 time per day) according to symptom controlling situation, and control group with the decreasing amount of loratadine only. Both groups were treated for 4 treatment courses (2 weeks as a treatment course). Symptom score reduce index was used to calculate the effective rate after 8 weeks of treatment. And the taking antihistamine medicine score was recorded 4, 6, 8 weeks of treatment. The follow-up visits were made to observe long-term efficacy of the cured patients 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after discontinuing the medication. Results Totally 27 cases from the treatment group were cured, with a total short-term effective rate of 96.30%;13 cases from the control group were cured, with a total short-term effective rate of 65.38%, with statistical significance (P<0.05). The taking antihistamine medicine score in treatment group (0.553 ± 0.239) was lower than that in control group (0.721 ± 0.245), namely the symptom improvement in treatment group was better than that in control group by taking less antihistamine medicine. Long-term clinical efficacy showed that the treatment group was also distinctively better than the control group. Conclusion Qufeng Qingre Weiling Decoction combined with the decreasing amount of loratadine is more effective for CU, and with better short-term and long-term clinical efficacy than the control group.

Objective When bacterial cellulose (BC) is used as a scaffold material in tissue engineering,the nano-structure of BC may not provide enough space for animal cell growth and differentiation which would not achieve a perfect application in tissue engineering.In order to solve this problem,a novel green approach is developed in this research to produce bacterial nanocellulose materials with micropores ranging 50-800 μm.Methods Several ratios of hydrogen peroxide to sodium chlorite were used to react instantly to produce a large number of bubbles in BC hydrogels,which formed micropores with diameters ranging 50-800 μm.Optical microscopy and scanning electron microscope were used to evaluate microporous BC hydrogels and verify the existence of micropores.Results The size of pores could be regulated along with the changes in the amount of reactants used in the experiment.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy verified that no cellulose was oxidized.Water content of the microporous BC hydrogels was similar to that of the original BC hydrogels.The Young's modulus of microporous BC hydrogels was 26.1 kPa,which was lower than that of the original BC hydrogels (69.9 kPa).Thiazoyl blue tetrazolium bromide (MTT) test displayed a higher viability on the microporous BC hydrogels compared to the growth on the unmodified BC substrates.Conclusions This study provides a convenient and promising way to prepare microporous materials,which may not be limited to only BC material,but could be used in other hydrogels.The proposed approach is suitable for extensive industrialization.

AIM To study the effect of desipramin e (DMI) on proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction of rat glioma C6 cel ls. METHODS Cell proliferation w as measured by MTT colorimetric assay and cells undergoing apoptosis were determ ined by electron microscope and flow cytometry. The expression of bcl-2 was eva luated by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS DMI could result in the c oncentration-dependent inhibition of C6 cell proliferation and lead to arrest i n G0~G1 phase of cell cycle. The value of IC50 and 95% confidence lim its were 20.7(17.3~24.2) μmol*L-1.DMI(40 μmol*L-1)-indu ced apoptosis showed classical apoptotic morphology and the hypodiploid peak ap peared on the histogram of FCM in a concentration-dependent manner, which could be abrogated by cycloheximide(1.8 μmol*L-1). Meanwhile, DMI (10 μmol *L-1) could down-regulate the expression of apoptosis associated gene b cl-2. CONCLUSION DMI could inhibit cell proliferation in a con centration dependent manner and induce typical apoptosis of C6 cells.
