Objective To explore the acute toxicity and LD 50 of Tripterygium Hypoglaucum (Levl) Hutch(THH) solution to provide information for safe clinical application. Methods After oral administration of THH solution in mice, the mortality and the physiological and pathological changes were observed. Results The LD 50 (95% confidence limit) of THH in male and female mice was 79 g/kg(69~89 g/kg) and 100 g/kg (90~112 g/kg), respectively. No marked pathological change of the organs was found. Conclusion According to the standard of grading of acute toxicity, THH solution belongs to the moderate class. Therefore, it is safe in clinical practice and has a wide application.

Objective To study the clinic effects and safety of budesonide suspension combined with tubertaline solution for nebulization therapy on infantile asthma.Methods Seventy-five cases with asthma were divided into 3 groups randomly,double-blinded and controlled,each group having 25 cases.Group A inhaling tubertaline solution(bricanyl),while group B inhaling pulmicort respules combined with bricanyl,group C inhaling budesonide suspension(pulmicort respules)only.Results In group A,16 cases was cure,3 cases was markedly improved,6 cases was failure,the total efficacy rate was 76 percent.In group B,22 cases was cure,2 cases was markedly improved,1 case failed,the total efficacy rate was 96 percent.While in group C,14 cases was cure,4 cases was markedly improved,7 cases failed,the total efficacy rate was 72 percent.The difference of efficacy rate between group A and group B was significant(P0.05).Conclusion Pulmicort respules combined with bricanyl for nebulising inhalation is effective and safety on infantile asthma and its effect is better than inhaling bude-sonide or tubertaline only.

Objective To investigate the effects of preventive chemotherapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) exceeding Milan criteria after liver transplantation. Methods The clinical data of 243 patients who had undergone orthotopic liver transplantation for HCC exceeding Milan criteria from April 2001 to July 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Of all patients, 162 received preventive chemotherapy after transplantation. Results The 1- and 3-year survival rates and disease-free survival rates were not statistically different between patients who had received chemotherapy (78.5%, 63.7% ; 76.8%, 52.5% ) and those without chemotherapy (56.6%, 39.1%; 69.3%, 64.7% ) (X2 = 3.084, 0.444, P > 0.05). Cox regression analysis demonstrated that postoperative chemotherapy was not an independent factor affecting the survival rates of HCC patients without vascular invasion, but an independent factor affecting the survival rates of HCC patients with vascular invasion. Conclusions Early preventive chemotherapy could obviously increase the survival rate and delay the tumor recurrence of patients with HCC exceeding Milan criteria, especially for HCC patients with vascular invasion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of moxa smoke versus tobaccosmoke on autonomous behaviors and hippocampal expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in apolipoprotein E gene knockout (ApoE-/-) mice.Method Thirteen 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice constituted a blank control group. Twenty-seven ApoE-/-mice of the same age were randomized into ApoE-/-model, moxa smoke and tobacco smoke groups. The tobacco smoke and moxa smoke groups of mice were exposed to smoke 5-15 mg/m3circumstances. Every group of mice was intervened in 20 min. daily, six days a week, for atotal of 12 weeks. A behavioral test was conducted in week 13. The animals were then sacrificed to take the materials. Hippocampal GFAP in the brain was measured by an immunohistochemical method.ResultAutonomous activities were significantly more in theblank group than in the model group (P<0.05) and significantly fewer in the tobacco smoke group than in the blank group (P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in autonomous activities between the tobacco smoke group and the model or moxa smoke group (P>0.05). Moving distance was longer in the moxa smoke group than in the model group (P<0.05). Standing-up number was smaller in the moxa smoke group than in the blank group (P<0.05). Integral optical density of GFAP immune reaction products in the hippocampus was significantlyhigher in the model group of mice than in the blank and moxa smoke groups (P<0.05). Hippocampal GFAP expression was significantly higher in the group of mice than in the moxa smoke and blank groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Moxa smoke can increase the excitability of central nervous system in mice and reduce hippocampal GFAP expression in a mice model of Alzheimer disease.

Background Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF)has been reported to have beneficial effect on cardiac dysfunction in post infarction and doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy.Objective To investigate the effects of G-CSF on cardiac remodeling in cardiac hypertrophy induced by angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ).Methods Thirty-six male wild type mice(WT)were allocated randomly to receive subcutaneously G-CSF(10 ?g/kg per day, n=9),or Ang Ⅱ(2.88 mg/kg per day,n=9),or Ang Ⅱ plus G-CSF(Ang Ⅱ 2.88 mg/kg+G-CSF 10 ?g/kg,n =9)for 4 weeks with untreated WT(n=9)as controls.Blood pressure and cardiac function were measured. Heart weight/body weight ratio,myocyte cross-sectional area and fibrosis area were determined.The mRNA ex- pression of osteopontin(OPN)in myocardium was detected by RT-PCR.The expressions of angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE),ACE2 and phosph-p70S6 kinase protein in myocardium were assessed by Western-Blot.Results Ang Ⅱ significantly elevated blood pressure(SBP,Ang Ⅱ:139.7?1.6 vs WT:108.7?2.3 mmHg,P0.05),but significantly attenuated the myocyte cross-sectional area(Ang Ⅱ+G-CSF:181.06?0.11 vs Ang Ⅱ:202.02?0.16 ?m~2,P

0.9). Conclusions CT perfusion imaging could quantify the hepatic blood flow.The accuracy is similar to electromagnetic flowmeter,and it could effectively reflect physiological or pathological hemodynamies of liver.CT perfusion is noninvasive,high reproducible and convenient,which could be widely used in clinical practice.
