Objective To select the suitable macroporous adsorption resins for enrichment and purifi-cation ferulic acid from Angelica sinensis so as to improve the product quality. Methods Macroporous ad-sorption resins were used to study the adsorption and desorption characteristics of ferulic acid. At the same time HPLC was used in detection. Results The best resin DA201 was chosen and the optimum parameters were obtained. The content of ferulic acid was increased from 0. 15% in the raw material to 25.1%. Con-clusion The material has a low cost and the operation is easy. The adsorption resins can be used again,which has a good applied foreground.

Objective To study the growth and oxidative damage of rats exposed to mercury mining area rice. Methods The rats were exposed to the rice harvested in mercury mining area or in other area for 90 days, and then determined the change of their weight, the activity of SOD and GSH-Px, the content of MDA and GSH in brain, liver and kidney tissue. Results After 90 days of exposure, compared with the control,significantly higher weight,higher level of MDA,lower activities of GSH-Px,SOD and lower level of GSH were found in brain, liver and kidney tissue of the rat of exposure group. Conclusion The results of the present paper show that the rice contaminated by mercury in this mercury mining area may induce lipid peroxidation in the rat's in brain, liver and kidney tissue.

Objective To investigate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) in the VX2 hepatic tumor.Methods 30 New Zealand white rabbit VX2 liver carcinoma models(all the tumors were verified by histopathology)were set up.The expressions of MMP-2 in 30 cases of VX2 tumor tissues and their pericarcinomatous tissues and normal hepatic tissues in 20 cases were detected by immunohistochemical staining with SP method at 2.5 weeks after implantation.The cell number of MMP-2 positive expression was counted by immunohistochemical stain.Results According to immunohistochemical results,the positiveness of MMP-2 was 86.7%(26/30) in tumor tissues and 53.3%(16/30) in pericarcinomatous tissues and no expressions of MMP-2 in normal hepatic tissues.The expression of MMP-2 were mainly in the tumor cytoplasm and intercellular substance,and also in the part of the tumor thrombi,the bile vessel epithelial cell and vascular endothelial cell.Conclusion The features of the expression of MMP-2 are similar to that of human HCC,and this model is a real animal model for clinical MMP-2 study of human HCC.
