OBJECTIVE:To determine the concentration of ozagrel in human plasma by RP-HPLC.METHODS:The sample separation was performed on a SinoChrom OPS-AP column.The mobile phase consisted of 0.025 mol?L-1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate buffer solution-acetonitrile(85∶15) with a flow rate of 0.8 mL?min-1 and a detection wavelength of 274 nm.The internal standard was levodropropizine.RESULTS:The linear range of ozagrel was 0.7～21.3 ?g?mL-1,(r=0.999 6).The extraction recovery of ozagrel was 83.78%～89.14% and the methodological recovery of it was 101.95%～106.68%.The intra-day RSD and inter-day RSD were 1.33%～3.27% and 2.72%～5.97%,respectively.CONCLUSION:This method is simple,rapid,accurate and reproducible,and it is applicable for the pharmacokinetic study of ozagrel in human plasma.

OBJECTIVETo verify the clinical efficacy on post-stroke dysphagia treated with acupuncture at Lianquan (CV 23).

METHODSOne hundred and eighty patients were randomized into an acupuncture A group, an acupuncture B group and a rehabilitation group, 60 cases in each one. On the basis of the conventional medication, in the acupuncture A group, acupuncture was applied at Lianquan (CV 23); in the acupuncture B group, acupuncture was applied at Hegu (LI 4) and Neiguan (PC 6) and in the rehabilitation group, the swallowing rehabilitation training was adopted. The treatment was given once a day, 5 times a week, and the 4 weeks of treatment was required in all of the groups. The national institute of health stroke scale (NIHSS) and TV X-ray fluoroscope swallowing scale (VFSS) were used to evaluate neurologic deficit and swallowing function before and after treatment in the patients of each group. The morbidity of pneumonia and clinical efficacy were compared among the groups.

RESULTSThe scores of NIHSS and VFSS were improved apparently after treatment in the patients of the three groups (all P < 0.05) and the results in the acupuncture A group were superior to those in the other two groups (all P < 0.05). The morbidity of pneumonia in the acupuncture A group was lower than that in the acupuncture B group and the rehabilitation group [3.3% (2/60) vs 6.7% (4/60), 8.3% (5/60), both P < 0.05]. The effective rate in the acupuncture A group was better than that in either of the other two groups [95.0% (57/60) vs 81.7% (49/ 60), 75.0% (45/60), both P < 0.05].

CONCLUSIONOn the basis of the conventional medication, acupuncture at Lianquan (CV 23) effectively improves the swallowing function, relieves neurological deficit and reduces the morbidity of pneumonia in the patients of post-stroke dysphagia.

Objective To establish the method to determine the content of berberine in Double Yellow Antiinflammatory Tablets. Methods Using HPLC, with Diamonnsil C18 (4.6 mm?250 mm, 5 ?m) as column, acetonitrile-0.05 mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate (35∶65, phosphate regulation pH value to 3.0) as mobile phase, detection wavelength was at 345 nm, flow rate was 0.8 mL/min, and column temperature was 30 ℃. Results In berberine range of 0.040 7～0.447 9 ?g, the scope and content of the sample peak area had a good linear relationship, reproducibility of RSD=0.59% (n=5), and the average recovery rate was 96.71% and RSD=0.37% (n=5). Conclusion This method is stable, reliable, with high sensitivity and good reproducibility, and easy to put into practice, so it can be used for quality control of Double Yellow Antiinflammatory Tablets.

MBP was isolated and purified from bovin spinal cord as described by Deibler. A sensitive and specific RIA was used for quantitatiag the lavel of MBP in tie CSF samples which was collected from 106, patients with various neurological diseases. In the funetional headache group, the mean level of MBP in CSF was 3.0 ? 2.24ng/ml, so the upper control level of CSF MBP was 7.48 ng/ml (X+2SD). The mean level of MBP in CSF of 33 patients with MS was 21.98?11.82 ng/ml. Thirty-one cases had elevated level of CSF MBP (93.94%). The CSF MBP level of MS patients was significantly higher than the level of patients with sporadic encephalitis, other neurological diseases, and headache (p

To improve the microsurgical curative effect of petroclival cholesteatoma (PCC), 52 patients harbouring PCC removed from 1993 to 2002 were analyzed retrospectively. Of all patients in this group, total tumor removal was achieved in 47 patients (90%), subtotal removal in 5 (10%). The new cranial nerve injuries occurred postoperatively in 4. Operative death occurred in 1 patient due to severe lung infection (1 9%). The key goal of surgical resection of the tumor was good. Suitable basicranial approaches and skillful microsurgical technique can increase the total removal rate, and decrease its mortality and morbidity.

To probe the treatment effects of the syringomyelia using microsurgical technique, a total of 127 patients with syringomyelia confirmed by CT or MRI in our department were analyzed retrospectively. The patients underwent occipitocervical decompression, syringostomy or syringo subarachnoid shunting (S S shunting) with microsurgery. All patients were followed up for more than 1 5 years and the treatment results were evaluated The results indicated that the collapse of the syrinx was achieved in 84 patients who underwent S S shunting or syringostomy. Decreased size of the syrinx was also noted in 43 Arnold Chiari malformation and spinal dysraphism patients who underwent occipitocervical decompression alone. The authors consider that the patients with syringomyelia should be microsurgically treated. The occipitocervical decompression, syringostomy or S S shunting may be an alternative method of surgical treatment for syringomyelia.
