Objective To study the part of Anti-thrombus and its property from Ground Beetle. Methods To dispart the Ground beetle into four segments which were shell, head, chest and abdomen, and adopt the method of frozen and melt to do the further test. Result Extracts of shell and chest were not active, extracts of head and abdomen were active. The activity of abdomen extracts was much better than that of the insect extracts. Its active component was glycoproteins. Conclusion The activity of abdomen extracts (Tf) is relatively high, and demonstrates wider value.

ObjectiveTo observe the spinal cord pathological change and hindlimbs motor function of rats after decompression on chronic spinal cord injury.Methods 30 Wistar rats were divided randomly into conrol group ( n =5 ),compression group ( n =5 ) and decompression group ( n =20 ),then the decompression group was subdivided into 4 parts as 1 week,2 weeks,4 weeks,6 weeks after decompression.Decompression was made after 30 days of chronic spinal cord copression injury,rats'motor function was detected by inclined plate experiment,the histopathological change,Nissl body and neural cells apoptosis in different spinal cord sections were assessed by the stainings of HE,Nissl and TUNEL.ResultsCompared with control group,the behavior testing showed all rats in compression group presented with weakness of muscle power in their hindlimbs (P < 0.01 ),but the hindlimbs motor functions recovered from the first week after decompression and the difference had statistical significance compared with the compression group(P< 0.01 ).Then the rats hindlimbs functions recovered gradually later on.The staining of HE,Nissl and TUNEL showed that the injured spinal cord section performed no improvement at the first 2 weeks after decompression,the neural apoptosis index(24.31 ± 4.73 )% decreased until the forth week after decompression(P<0.05).The spinal cord segments closed to the injured part recovered in early stage.At 1 week after decompression,lots of Nissl bodys were observed in spinal anterior horn,the neural apoptosis index in the 2 sections closed to the injured part were ( 15.21 ± 4.81 ) % and ( 16.21 ± 3.98 ) %,which declined observably compared with compression group(P < 0.05 ).ConclusionAfter decompression on chronic spinal cord injury,the recovery of rats'hindlimbs motor function in early stage is probably benefited by the functional compensation of the spinal cord segments closed to the injured section.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of sertraline on cytokine balance in patients with depression. METHODS: Serum levels of interleukin2(IL-2), interleukin12(IL-12), interleukin4(IL-4), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?) and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-?1) were measured in 26 patients with depression(depression group) before and after treatment and 28 healthy volunteers (control group) by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: As compared with control group, in depression group the serum levels of IL-2, IL-12, TNF-? were significantly higher than in control group; the serum levels of IL-4, TGF-?1 were significantly lower than in control group(P

ObjectiveTo investigate the prognostic factors of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after resection.MethodsClinical data of 131 NSCLC patients who underwent resection were reviewed and divided into chemotherapy group(86 cases) and non-chemotherapy group(45 cases) according to the treatment method.Survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meier method.The prognosis was analyzed by Cox proportional hazards model.ResultsThe median survival time (MST) of squamous cell carcinoma (76 cases),bronchial alveolar cell carcinoma( 8 cases),adenocarcinoma( 35 cases ),adenosquamous carcinoma (12 cases) was 60,54,34,24 months respectively (P<0.05).For the patients of stage Ⅰ B,the MST of chemotherapy group and non-chemotherapy group was 75 and 76 months respectively(P > 0.05 ).Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size,T stage,N stage,chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors (P =0.080,0.002,0.000,0.029).Conclusions Squamous cell carcinoma and bronchial alveolar cell carcinoma have better prognosis than adenocarcinoma,adenosquamous carcinoma.For the patients of stage Ⅰ B,the survival time can't be prolonged through platinum-based chemotherapy.Tumor size,T stage,N stage,chemotherapy are independent prognostic factors.

AIM: To detect the effect of Sini decoction on glutathione S-transferase (GST) mRNA expression in the ischemic myocardium. METHODS: Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group, ischemic group and Sini decoction group. Total RNA was extracted from the myocardium of mice in each group. The effect of Sini decoction on the expression of GST gene was detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: The expression of GST mRNA in Sini decoction group was significantly up-regulated compared with the ischemic group and control group. CONCLUSION: Sini decoction can promote the expression of GST gene, which may be related to its protective effect on ischemic myocardium.
