OBJECTIVE: To observation the effects of Glycosaminoglycan from Scallop Skirt (SS-GAG) on the production of vasoactive substance in the endothelial cells injured by hydrogen peroxide(H2O2). METHODS: In H2O2-induced en-dothelial cell oxidative damage model group which was established with human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC, ECV304) cultured in vitro, SS-GAG groups (at different concentrations) and the normal group, levels of 6-keto-PGF1a, Thromboxane-B2 and Endothelin (ET) in the culture fluid were detected by radioimmunity assay and the content of nitric oxide was determined by nitrate reductase method. RESULTS: As compared with model group, SS-GAG (at different concentrations) significantly enhanced the levels of 6-keto-PGF1a and NO but significantly decreased levels of TXB2 and ET (P

AIM:To establish a fingerprint method of analyzing Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule(Semen Persicae,Radix Angelicae sinensis,Fruclus Aurantii,Rhizoma Chuanxiong,etc.) by HPLC. METHODS: A HPLC in combination with PDA detector was applied with a HiQ C_(18)(4.6 mm?250 mm,5 ?m) column by gradient elution using methanol-1.0% acetic acid solution as the mobile phase.The flow rate was 0.5 mL/min and the detection wavelength was at 260 nm. RESULTS: Thitrty-six common peaks were obtained in the fingerprint of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule with good separation,six of them were identified as adenosine,paeoniflorin,naringin,hesperidin,neohesperidin and ligustilide by comparing chromatogram with control compounds. CONCLUSION: The HPLC method with good precision and reproducibility can be used for the quality control of Xuefu Zhuyu Capsule.

Objective: To study the effect of ?- carotene(?-C) on lipid peroxidation and RBC-membrane fluidity of rats inflicted with alloxan. Methods: Forty-four 2mo-old Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups and fed with basal diet (group A and B), basal diet + vitamin E (200 mg/kg) (C) and basal diet+? carotene (200 mg/kg) (D) for 4 w respectively. Then, alloxon (3%) was injected intraperitoneally except group A, which was injected with normal saline. After 48 h the rats were killed and a series of indices were examined. Results: After injected with alloxan, Na +,K +-ATPase and GSH-Px activity, RBC-membrane fluidity in rats fed with diets C,D were markedly increased while MDA levels were decreased. Conclusion: ?-C and V E can decrease lipid peroxidation and increase the stability of RBC-membrane in rats inflicted with alloxan.

0.05).Conclusion The isotonic contrast medium has litter effect on the renal function of the patients with high risk factors.

MMP-9 is one of the family of matrix metalloproteinases, which degrades extracellular matrix. MMP-9 is induced by many inflammatory factors, including IL-1?,IL-8 and TNF-?. Meanwhile, MMP-9 potentiates inflammatory factors by aminoterminal processing. The signal transduction by which inflammatory factors induce MMP-9 is also an important part in recent research. This review will give a summary in all these fields.

Objective To study how to prevent the persistent ectopic pregnancy(PEP)effectively after the conservative celioscope surgery.Methods After conservative celioscope surgery,MTX(Group A)and the traditional chinese medicine(Group B)were taken to the people who had ectopic pregnancy to prevent PEP.Results 2 examples in group A had PEP,as well as non-PEP occurred in group B.Conclusion The function of the traditional chinese medicine after conservative celioscope surgery to prevent the persistent ectopic pregnancy was much better.

Objective To explore the relationship of coping style and social support with hope in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods A total of 177 maintenance hemodialysis patients were recruited from 3 dialysis centers in Guangzhou and were investigated with the self-designed questionnaire,the Herth Hope Scale,Simplified Coping Scale and Social Support Scale.Structural equation model was used to establish the model of relationship of coping style and social support with hope level.Results The average score of hope in maintenance hemodialysis patients was (31.83±3.69) points.The total score and all the sub-scores of social support were (42.24±4.09) points,(23.72±2.36) points,(10.82±2.26) points,(7.70±1.36) points respectively.And the average scores of positive coping style and the negative coping style were (2.15±0.28) points,(1.56±0.33) points,respectively.Social support had direct positive effect on hope level,and the positive and neg-ative coping style had indirect positive and negative effect on hope level respectively.Conclusions Social support has a direct effects on hope level in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Positive and negative cop-ing styles have indirect effects on hope level through social support.

Psychometrical methodology was widely applied in the development of TCM syndrome scales,without considering the consistency between the methods and clinical TCM syndrome differentiation practice and the difference between the syndrome diagnosis and syndrome evaluationt.In this article,we described the theory foundation of the TCM syndrome diagnosis scales,distinguished the difference between the syndrome diagnosis scales and syndrome evaluation scales from several aspects,and expounded the key steps and technical point of TCM syndrome diagnosis scales development superfi cially.Ischemic Stroke TCM Syndrome Scales based on these represented a satisfying performance in clinical validation.

Objective: To establish the quality control standard for Xiaozhi Solution(Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, Radix Scutellariae, Radix Paeoniae Rubra, Rhizoma Smilacis Glabrae, etc.) Methods: Radix et Rhizoma Rhei Radix Scutellariae、 and Radix Paeoniae Rubra in solution were identified by TLC. The contents of emodin chrysophanol were determined by HPLC. The average recovery of added sample were 99.10% ( RSD was 1.88% ) for emodin and 98.87% ( RSD was 1.21%) for chrysophanol. Results: The method was simple, accurate and specific. Conclusion: The method can be used for the quality control of Xiaozhi Solution.

Objective: The experiment was undertaken to explore the blood-brain barrier permeability and the gene expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in ischemic cerebra and the impact of Buyanghuanwu Decoction on them. Methods: The (middle cerebral artery occlusion, MCAO) rat model was used. At 1h, 3h, 24h, 48h, 5d after reperfusion. They were measured. Results: In treatment group, the BBB permeability and the MMP-9 gene expression decreased. Conclusion: Buyanghuanwu Decoction can protect the BBB by inhibiting the MMP-9 gene expression.
