Jiujing Tu (Illustration of Moxibustion), excavated from Mo Kao Grotto at Dunhuang, is one of the earliest existing monographs on moxibustion. The medical masters from different schools have focused on this book because it is different from the existing ancient medical works and have not been collected in the medical works of different dynasties. In this study, the literature of Jiujing Tu on five acupoints (Dachangshu, Pangguangshu, Daxiaochangshu, Nieshu and Cigong) relevant with intestinal disorders is collected. It is intended to discuss and analyze the acupoint location, main intestinal disorder, moxibustion characters, recognition on the literature of different dynasties and modern clinical applications. It is believed that the thought of strong moxibustion in the treatment of intestinal disorders advocated in Jiujing Tu has profound impact on the medical development in later generations. It deserves us to have a further digging, collection and promotion of this thought in the modern time.

Conclusion The differences of pulchinenoside B4 from different sources of Pulsatilla chinensis varied greatly.

Objective To optimize the extracting conditions of polysaccharide from Imperata Cylindrica and establish a suitable method for its content determination. Methods Based on the qualitative yield of polysaccharide extraction, a orthogonal test was employed to evaluate the effect of four factors including extracting temperature, extracting time, the extraction times and the ratio of material to liquid. The phenol-dense sulphuric acid method was applied for the content determination of polysaccharide. Results The times of extraction and the extracting temperature influenced the content of polysaccharides mostly, while the duration of extraction and the amount of water showed little influence. Conclusions The optimum extraction condition was refluxing and extracting for 3 times at 85 ℃ for 3 hours, and with 15 folds of water for every time. The contents of polysaccharide in Imperata Cylindrica collected from two different places were above 0.15%.

Objective To investigate the impact of migration inhibitory factor (MIF) over-expression on the epithelial to mesenchymal transition in human cervical cancer SiHa cells.Methods Recombinant plasmid pEGFP-N1-MIF was transfected into SiHa cells,and then of MIF mRNA relative quantitative expression was tested by RT-PCR.The mRNA and protein expression level of E-cadherin and vimentin were detected by RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry,respectively.Results RT-PCR results showed that MIF mRNA expression quantity in experimental group was higher than that in control group cells (F =2 950.278,P ＜ 0.01).In MIF-overexpressing SiHa cells,vimentin mRNA was increased and E-cadherin mRNA was decreased determined by RT-PCR (Fvalues were 2 135.048,1 893.563,P＜ 0.01).Immunocytochemistry results showed that vimentin expression quantity in experimental group cells were higher than that in control group cells,however,E-cadherin expression quantity was lower than that in control group cells (F values were 2 348.021,1 789.421,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions The over-expression of MIF gene can significantly up-regulate the expression of vimentin,and down-regulate the expression of E-cadherin.Consequently,MIF over-expression induces epithelial to mesenchymal transition in human cervical cancer SiHa cells.

Objective To observe the effect of pentoxifylline(PTX),albendazole(ABZ),and a combination of PTX and ABZ in mice infected with Echinococcus multilocularis(E.M).Methods The first part of the experiment was to observe the in vitro effect of PTX on the cultured E.M protoscolex.In the second part,mice were infected by abdominal inoculation of E.M and divided into groups given by ABZ 50 mg/kg?d,PTX 360 mg/kg?d,PTX 180mg/kg?d,and a combined regimen ABZ 50 mg/(kg?d)+PTX 180 mg/(kg?d).Another infected group and a uninfected group served as controls which received normal saline only.100 days post-treatment,the mice were sacrificed for further observation.Indicators included wet weight of the cyst,cyst inhibition rate,level of serum cytokines TGF-? determined by ELISA,IL-2 and IL-10 determined by radio-immunoassay(RIA).Results The inhibition rate on cysts of the combined ABZ and PTX was 88%,considerably higher than 58 % of the group ABZ.The serum TGF-? and IL-10 decreased and IL-2 increased after treatment in comparison to the controls.Conclusion The PTX and ABZ combination shows better effect on E.multilocularis infection than that of single ABZ.PTX might help increase immunity of the mice.
