Objective To investigate the present status of Chinese patent medicine with realgar (As2S2) and to research arsenic dissolution in different pH values. Methods Data on the amount of Chinese patent medicine with realgar, the content of realgar, the method of taking medicine and so on were collected from the Chinese traditional medicine protection and criterions issued by the Chinese Ministry of Health in 2005, and evaluated the using status of Chinese patent medicine with realgar. The realgar powder was dissolved in solutions at different pH values (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11) in 37℃ water for 4 h, respectively, then arsenic was determined with cold trap hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry to calculate the amount of dissolved arsenic. Results One hundred and twenty-one (3.13%) realgar medicaments were recorded in a total of 3 860 various Chinese patent medicaments, including 74 medicaments with both realgar and cinnabar (HgS) . Of all medicaments with realgar, 97 medicaments (80.17%) were for oral application, 10 medicaments (8.26%) were for external application, and 14 medicaments (11.57%) were for both oral and external application. 45 medicaments with realgar (1.17%) could be used in children; 108 medicaments with realgar (89.26%) contained arsenic 15%; The relative amount of arsenic in medicaments with realgar was from 0.46% to 27.52%. Daily intake of arsenic was 500 mg for 11 medicaments (9.09%). Only inorganic arsenic (iAs) was detected when 1 mg realgar was dissolved in solution with pH values of 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11. The levels of dissolved iAs seemed increased with the pH values, which were 1.58 ?g, 1.24 ?g, 1.57 ?g, 1.62 ?g, 2.28 ?g and 4.76 ?g, respectively. Conclusion Considering the common use of realgar in Chinese patent medicine and the high level of arsenic in realgar, the potential danger can not be ignored. It is possible that arsenic in realgar may be much easier to be absorbed in intestine than in stomach.

Objective To explore whether serum amyloid A (SAA) can induce the formation of neutrophil extracellular traps(NETs)in neutrophils in vitro. Methods A stable method for inducing NETs formation in vitro was established, in-cluding isolation of peripheral blood neutrophils, cell culture, and NETs formation and observation. The neutrophils were iso-lated from peripheral blood of healthy volunteers. And cells were cultured in vitro and classified into three groups:negative control (NC) group, SAA group and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group. Following the distinct stimulation in three groups, NETs formation was observed and its percentage was calculated. The concentration of hinstone (h) 3 in supernatant was detected by ELISA. Results The purification and vitality of isolated neutrophils were both more than 95%. The nuclei of neutrophils lost their shape and spread, NETs formation was found. More NETs formation was found in SAA group than that in NC group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the concentration of h3 in supernatant was significantly higher in SAA group than that in NC group (P<0.05). Conclusion SAA can induce the formation of NETs in vitro.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of Rhubarb associated preparations (rhubarb or prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine including rhubarb) on sepsis patients with acute gastrointestinal dysfunction (AGI).Methods The retrieval of databases from libraries including PubMed, Medline, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CNKI, CBMdisc, Wan Fang Database, VIP database were searched to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about Rhubarb associated preparations for treatment of sepsis patients with AGI from the foundation of the various databases to March 2016. And in the mean time, the references of the studies accepted were also retrieved. The retrieving and screening of literatures were performed independently by two researchers, the methodological quality and data extraction of the enrolled literatures were assessed by Jadad scale, and Cochrane Collaboration 5.3 software was used to perform Meta analyses to observe the effects of rhubarb associated preparations on gastrointestinal function score, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHE Ⅱ) score and 28-day mortality in sepsis patients with AGI; the bias of published literatures was evaluated by funnel plot.Results ① Finally, 16 studies involving 1 171 patients (610 in rhubarb preparation group and 561 in the control group) were identified and enrolled. 12 studies had a Jadad score ≥ 3 and 4 studies < 3. The random method was used in classification of groups in all the studies in which the intergroup baseline data being comparable was clearly indicated. The blind method was applied in 5 contained RCTs.② The results of Meta-analyses showed that rhubarb associated preparation could improve gastrointestinal function score [mean difference (MD) = -0.52, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = -0.55 to -0.48, P < 0.000 01], reduce the APACHEⅡ score (MD = -3.66, 95%CI = -5.00 to -2.33,P < 0.000 01) and 28-day mortality [odds ratio (OR) = 0.46, 95%CI = 0.30 to 0.71,P < 0.000 01] compared with those in the control group, the differences being statistically significant. No publication bias was seen in 16 literatures containing RCTs from the funnel plot.Conclusions Compared with the control group, the rhubarb associated preparations combined with conventional theraph can significantly improve the gastrointestinal function score, reduce APACHE Ⅱ score and 28-day mortality of sepsis patients with AGI, which suggests the rhubarb associated preparations have better efficacy. In addition, the result of sensitivity analysis has not substantially changed the results of Meta-analysis.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of intranasal administration of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on postoperative cognitive dysfunction in aged rats.Methods:Forty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes, aged 21-23 months, weighing 480-600 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (group S), operation group (group O), intranasal administration of low-dose GDNF group (group G1) and intranasal administration of high-dose GDNF group (group G2). Rats underwent exploratory laparotomy under anesthesia with chloral hydrate in O, G1 and G2 groups, while the rats in group S only received sham operation.The rats in group G1 and group G2 were intranasally treated with GDNF 25 and 50 μg (in 25 μl of PBS), respectively, and PBS 25 μl was nasally administered in group S and group O every day for 3 consecutive days after operation or sham operation.Morris water maze test was performed on days 3-7 after surgery, and then the rats were sacrificed, and hippocampal tissues were removed for determination of the expression of GDNF, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), activated caspase-3 and Bax (by Western blot). Results:Compared with group S, the escape latency was significantly prolonged on days 5-7 after operation, the number of crossing the platform was reduced, time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, expression of GDNF was down-regulated, and expression of IL-1β, TNF-α, HMGB1, activated caspase-3 and Bax in hippocampi was up-regulated in group O, and the number of crossing the platform was reduced, time spent in the target quadrant was shortened, and expression of IL-1β and TNF-α was up-regulated in G1 and G2 groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group O, the escape latency was significantly shortened on days 5-7 after operation, the number of crossing the platform was increased, time spent in the target quadrant was prolonged, expression of GDNF was up-regulated, expression of TNF-α, HMGB1, activated caspase-3 and Bax in hippocampi was down-regulated in G1 and G2 groups, and IL-1β in hippocampi was down-regulated in group G1 ( P<0.05). Compared with group G1, the expression of TNF-α in hippocampi was down-regulated ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the other parameters mentioned above in group G2 ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Intranasal administration of GDNF can improve postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and the mechanism may be related to inhibiting neuroinflammatory responses and neuroapoptosis in aged rats.
