In this paper, a detailed analysis was made on relevant literatures about bear bile powder in terms of chemical component, pharmacological effect and clinical efficacy, indicating bear bile powder's significant pharmacological effects and clinical application in treating various diseases. Due to the complex composition, bear bile powder is relatively toxic. Therefore, efforts shall be made to study bear bile powder's pharmacological effects, clinical application, chemical composition and toxic side-effects, with the aim to provide a scientific basis for widespread reasonable clinical application of bear bile powder.

Objective To evaluate whether the unidirectional barbed suture is safety and efficiency enough for laparoscopic partial nephrectomy.Method From March 2013 to March 2014,27 patients with renal mass have been involved into this study and divided into 2 groups wsing a lottery.Group A used Coated Vicryl in renorrhaphy after LPN,and group B used unidirectional barbed suture.All patients underwent LPN preformed by single group of surgeons.Perioperative and postoperative indicators were compared in two groups.Result It is identical in age,BMI,tumor size,R.E.N.A.L nephrometry scoring system between 2 groups.However,using barbed suture has significantly shortened in warm ischemia time (WIT).The postoperative indicators,such as blood loss,hospital stay and surgery complication has no significantly difference in two groups.Conclusion The unidirectional barbed suture is safety and efficiency using in LPN which can shorten WIT significantly.

OBJECTIVETo establish a ion chromatography method for determination of phosphorus oxychloride in the air of workplace.

METHODThe phosphorus oxychloride in the air of workplace was collected by absorb liquid and turned into hydrochloric acid, then separated in column and detected with conductivity detector, qualified by elution time and quantified by peak height or peak area.

RESULTSThe linear range of phosphorus oxychloride in air of workplace was 0.72 ∼ 5.76 µg/ml with its correlation coefficient 0.9999. The detecting limit of the method was 0.12 µg/ml. The smallest detecting concentration of the method was 0.08 mg/m(3) for 15 L sampling air. Relative standard deviation was 3.3% ∼ 6.2% and the recovery was 97.8% ∼ 103.8%. The sample could be resaved at room temperature at least for seven days.

CONCLUSIONThe indicators of the method correspond GBZ/T 210.4-2008«Guide for establishing occupational health standards-Part 4: Determination methods of air chemicals in workplace». It is a good method to determine phosphorus oxychloride in the air of workplace.

UNLABELLEDObjective: In order to assess the integrative cardiopulmonary function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD), we used symptom limited maximum cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET).

METHODSAll 59 patients diagnosed stable CAD by coronary angiography and echocardiography from August to December of 2014 in our hospital, were divided two groups. PCI group, 31 patients received PCI and drugs. Control group, 28 patients received drugs therapy only. All patients performed CPET before and after the treatment.

RESULTSAll patients safely completed CPET without any complications. The control group, all functional parameters were unchanged (P > 0.05). PCI group, the anaerobic threshold, peak oxygen uptake and peak oxygen pulse increased significantly (P < 0.05) from baseline,but not for others (P > 0.05). For individual analysis, PCI group had higher rates of increase (≥ 10% of baseline) in both peak oxygen uptake and peak oxygen pulse than those of control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCPET is an objective, quantitative, safe and effective method to evaluate the clinical therapeutic efficiency. PCI can improve the integrative cardiopulmonary function in CAD patients.

Multi-target drugs attract increasing attentions for the therapy of complicated neurodegenerative diseases. In this study, a computer-assisted strategy was applied to search for multi-target compounds by the pharmacophore matching. This strategy has been successfully used to design dual-target inhibitor models against both the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Based on two pharmacophore models matching and physicochemical properties filtering, one hit was identified which could inhibit AChE with IC50 value of (0.337 +/- 0.052) micromol x L(-1) and PARP-1 by 24.6% at 1 micromol x L(-1).

The antitussive activity assay for the root extraction of Disporum cantoniense was carried out with coughing mice induced by ammonia liquor. The results showed that the ethanol and water extractions of D. cantoniense possess strong antitussive activity, and the high dose of the former was better than positive control, and then the constituents of the ethanol extraction were separated and purified by various modern chromatographic techniques. Their structures were identified by physico-chemical properties and spectroscopic data. As a result, eight compounds were isolated and identified as stigmast-4-en-3-one(1), (22E, 24R)-ergosta-5, 7, 22-trien-3beta-ol(2), obtucarbamate A(3), obtucarbamate B(4), neotigogenin(5), azo-2, 2'-bis[Z-(2,3-dihydroxy-4-methyl-5-methoxy) phenyl ethylene] (6),dimethyl {[carbonylbis (azanediyl)] bis( 2-methyl-5, 1-phenylene) j dicarbamate (7) , and quercetin-3-O-pB-D-glucopyranoside(8). All compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time, and the result of bioactivity-directed isolation showed that compounds 3, 4, and 6 had obvious effect on antitussive activity, and compound 6 had the same level as positive control.
