Object To establish an HPLC method for the determination of rehmannioside D in the root of Rehmanniae glutinosa (Gaert.) Libosch. ex Fisch et Mey and provide a limitation for the lowest content of rehmannioside D Methods Chromatographic conditions: Hypersil C 18 (200 mm?4.6 mm, 5 ?m) column, mobile phase: acetonitrile water (4∶96), flow rate: 1 mL/min, room temperature, detection wavelength: 205 nm Results The recovery was 100.6%, and RSD was 2.1% for rehmannioside D. From eight different regions 16 samples of R glutinosa were quantitatively analysed and the contents of rehmannioside D in R glutinosa were 0.137%-0.691% Conclusion The method is rapid, simple and accurate, and can be used for the quality control of R glutinosa The proposed content of rehmannioside D must be no less than 0.15%.

Objective: To investigate the effects of Rehannia glutinosa decoction (RGD)、 Rehmannia glutinosa polysaccharide (RGP) and Rehmannia glutinosa non polysaccharide (RGNP) on peripheral hemogram in mice. Methods: The first experimental group were continuously given RGD、RGP and RGNP for nine days, and then blood sample was taken from tails for determination of peripheral hemogram. The second group were given RGD、RGP and RGNP for five days, after making the blood difficiency model of cyclophosphamide. Determinating peripheral hemogram of the third group, after that those mice were given cyclophosphamide by 2 days, 4 days, 6 days, 8 days. Results: Peripheral hemogram of the every normal group has no difference. To compare the model of blood difficiency group and the control group, there were significant differences, RGNP can only enhance WBC. Both RGP and RGNP can reduce WBC of the mice model of anti cyclophosphamide, while RGP was superior to RGNP. Conclusion: Rehmannia glutinosa has dual directional adjustment function. RGP is tonifying blood active fraction of RG.

Objective To analyze the preoperative related factors of early weaning of infants with congenital heart disease after operation. Methods From January ,2014 to January ,2017 in Pediatric Cardiology CICU , infants with congenital heart disease were selected as research objects. The clinical data were retrospectively collect ed and the relationship between preoperative influencing factors and postoperative early weaning were analyzed. Early weaning meant mechanical ventilation time was shorter than 24 h and late weaning meant longer than 24 h. Results Single factor analysis showed that early weaning success rate was related to preoperative cardiac function grade 1,NNIS grade 0~1,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension(average P<0.05). Non conditional logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative heart function grade 1 was an indepen-dent influencing factor,with OR value(95%CI)of 3.9(1.9~7.7). Conclusions In infants with congenital heart disease,preoperative heart function grade 1,NNIS grade 0 ~ 1 ,ASA grade 1,no lung infection and no or mild pulmonary hypertension benefit early withdrawing of ventilator and preoperative cardiac function grade 1 is an inde-pendent factor for early weaning.

Objective To analyze the blood gas analysis before extubation related to early withdraw venti-lator in infants with congenital heart disease.Methods Collecting the blood gas analysis datas before extubation of infants with congenital heart disease who were treated with CICU in our hospital from 2014. 01.01 to 2017.01.01, To analyze the relationship between early withdraw ventialtor and the blood gas analysis before extubation. Re-sults 1.Univariate analysis showed that infants with congenital heart disease early postoperative rate of weaning were related to blood gas analysis before extubation with PH,HCO3-,Lac-,SaO2,A-aDO2,respiratory index and oxygenation index(P<0.05).2.The results of non conditional logisitic regression analysis showed that PH,HCO3-and Lac- were independent factors,the value of OR(95%CI) were 50.1(80-311),1.51(1.12-2.02) and 0.18 (0.05-0.65). Conclusion In infants with congenital heart disease before extubation SaO2high,A-aDO2≤ 100 mmHg,respiratory index low and oxygenation index high were the important factors of postoperative early weaning;The PH,HCO3-and Lac-were independent factors,even though early withdrawal unit blood gas analysis before ex-tubation the index is inferior to late withdrawal unit's,it can also achieve early weaning in the basic normal value range.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of Rehmanniae Radix iridoid glycosides （RIG） on the kidney tissue of streptozotocin （STZ）-induced diabetic mice and explore the underlying mechanism. MethodsTwelve of 72 male C57BL/6J mice were randomly selected as the normal group， and the remaining 60 mice were fed with a high-fat diet for six weeks combined with injection of 60 mg·kg^-1 STZ for 4 days to model type 2 diabetes mellitus. The successfully modeled mice were randomized into model， metformin （250 mg·kg^-1）， catalpol （100 mg·kg^-1）， low-dose RIG （RIG-L， 200 mg·kg^-1） and high-dose RIG （RIG-H， 400 mg·kg^-1） groups （n=11）. Mice in each group were administrated with corresponding drugs， while those in the normal group and model group were administrated with the same dose of distilled water by gavage once a day. After 8 weeks of intervention， an oral glucose tolerance test （OGTT） was performed， and the area under the curve （AUC） was calculated. After mice were sacrificed， both kidneys were collected. The body weight， kidney weight， and fasting blood glucose （FBG） were measured. Biochemical assays were performed to measure the serum levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， serum creatinine （SCr）， and blood urea nitrogen （BUN）. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to determine the serum level of fasting insulin （FINS）， and the insulin sensitivity index （ISI） and homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance （HOMA-IR） were calculated. The pathological changes in kidneys of mice were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining. The immunohistochemical method （IHC） was employed to assess the expression of interleukin-1 （IL-1）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁）， and collagen-3 （ColⅢ） in the kidney tissue. The protein levels of TGF-β₁， cell signal transduction molecule 3 （Smad3）， matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9）， and ColⅢ in kidneys of mice were determined by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showcased decreased body weight and ISI （P<0.01）， increased kidney weight， FBG， AUC， FINS， HOMA-IR， TC， TG， SCr， and BUN （P<0.01）， glomerular hypertrophy， capsular space narrowing， and collagen deposition in the kidney， up-regulated protein levels of IL-1， IL-6， TNF-α， TGF-β₁， ColⅢ， and Smad3 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated protein level of MMP-9 （P<0.01） in the kidney tissue. Compared with the model group， the treatment groups had no significant difference in the body weight and decreased kidney weight （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The FBG level declined in the RIG-H group after treatment for 4-8 weeks and in the metformin， catalpol， and RIG-L groups after treatment for 6-8 weeks （P<0.01）. The AUC in the RIG-L， RIG-H， and metformin groups decreased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The levels of TC， SCr， and BUN in the serum of mice in each treatment group became lowered （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The level of TG declined in the RIG-L， RIG-H， and metformin groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The serum level of FINS declined in the catalpol， RIG-L， and metformin groups （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the treatment groups showed decreased HOMA-IR （P<0.01）， increased ISI （P<0.01）， alleviated pathological changes in the kidney tissue， and down-regulated expression of IL-1 and TGF-β₁. In addition， the protein levels of IL-6， TNF-α， and ColⅢ in the RIG-H and metformin groups and IL-6 and TNF-α in the RIG-L group were down-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the protein levels of IL-6， TNF-α， and ColⅢ in the catalpol group and ColⅢ in the RIG-L group showed a decreasing trend without statistical difference. The protein levels of TGF-β₁， Smad3， and ColⅢ in the RIG-H and metformin groups were down-regulated （P<0.01）. Compared with that in the model group， the protein level of MMP-9 was up-regulated in each treatment group （P<0.01）. ConclusionRIG can improve the renal structure and function of diabetic mice by regulating the TGF-β₁/Smads signaling pathway.
