OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for content determination of?-Schisandrin in Lingzhi granules.METH_ ODS:HPLC method was adopted and a C 18 column was used.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.1%H 3 PO 4 of water solution(67∶33).The detection wavelength was at254nm.RESULTS:The calibration curve of?-Schisandrin was linear in the range of0.0816?g～0.816?g(r=0.9999),and the average recovery was99.21%(RSD=0.79%).CONCLUSION:The method is simple and accurate,and can be used for the quality control of Lingzhi granule.

Objective To describe the work of quality control for lipids measurement in CNHS 2002.Methods The quality control was applied over the whole project including staff training,making standard operating procedure(blood collection,separation,temporary storage,transportation,final storage),lab materials assignment,internal quality control in central lab and participating US Disease Control Center's Lipids Standard Program(LSP)as external quality control.Results Seven times of national training programs were held and 326 technicians from CDCs in 31 provinces,autonomous regions, municiplalities and 132 surveyed counties received related trainings.During the program,321 persons passed examination (98.5%)and among them 205 got the A score(62.9%);The field work was implemented strictly according to the procedure. Three automatic biochemical instruments were used in the measurement and there is no significant difference between means of serum TC,TG and HDL-C from several batches of quality control serum.Parallel measurements were conducted in five percent randomly selected samples,the ratio of bias less than 3% was 99.05%,96.40% and 98.30% for TC,TG and HLD-C, respectively.Compared with means of LSP control sera,the results showed that all bias was less than 5% except one bias of TG result(7.02%)in one batch of LSP controls.Conclusion The work of quality control in this survey guaranteed the accuracy of plasma lipids measurement,and provided the basic data for the epidemiological description of dyslipidemia status among Chinese and the further analysis.

AIM: To evaluate the effects of simulated acute ischemia and reperfusion on L-type calcium current (ICa,L) in ventricular myocytes from diabetic and non-diabetic rabbits.METHODS: Using whole-cell patch clamp techniques, ICa,L was measured in left ventricular myocytes isolated from 6-week alloxan-induced diabetic rabbits and age-matched control ones at baseline, 5 min of simulated ischemia, and 5 min of reperfusion.RESULTS: There were no significant differences on baseline maximum ICa,L densities between diabetic and control ventricular myocytes. In control cells (n=11), maximal ICa,L densities of baseline, ischemia and reperfusion were (-8.36±1.63)pA/pF, (-5.90±1.75)pA/pF and (-4.22±1.02)pA/pF, respectively. The ICa,L of ischemia was less than that of baseline (P<0.01), while the ICa,L of reperfusion was less than those of baseline (P<0.01) and ischemia (P<0.05). In diabetic cells (n=9),the ICa,L of baseline, ischemia and reperfusion were (-7.55±1.62)pA/pF, (-6.05±1.58)pA/pF and (-5.12±1.13)pA/pF, respectively. Only ICa,L of reperfusion was less than that of baseline (P<0.01), while ICa,L of ischemia was not significantly different from that of baseline (P>0.05) or reperfusion (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: ICa,L in diabetic ventricular myocytes represents blunted response to acute ischemic injury, being decreased more slowly than that in control cells. Post-ischemic reperfusion is still a potent inhibitor against ICa,L in both diabetic and non-diabetic cells. This study may be indicative of the mechanism about ischemia-reperfusion injury to diabetic myocardium and the therapy for diabetic patients with ischemic heart disease.

Objective To evaluate T-lymphocyte subsets and sjTREC gene level in sepsis children and to provide a reasonable theoretical basis for immune regulation. Methods This prospective study was performed on children who were classified as sepsis group (n = 25), severe sepsis group (n = 23), and control group (n = 50). The T cell subsets were measured before the blood products,immune agents,and nutritional support were administrated. By real-time fluorescence quantitive-PCR method, the sjTREC levels of the patients with sepsis and healthy children were quantitatively detected respectively;then the sjTREC levels were absolutely quantified by two standard curve method. The results were demonstrated by sjTREC and endogenous reference gene (Cα) copies ratio (sjTREC/Cα× 2 × 1000) and statistically analyzed by SPSS 16. 0 software. Results The levels of CD3 +, CD4 +, and CD8 + T cells in severe sepsis group were lower than those in control group (P＜0.01). The level of sjTREC of severe sepsis group was 173.86 +38.37,which was significantly lower than those of sepsis group (345. 15 ± 66. 21) and control group (389. 42 ± 50. 20) (P ＜ 0. 01). Conclusion Children with severe sepsis have a range of T-lymphocyte subsets disorders and decreased thymic output function, so early immunotherapy can improve clinical outcome.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the cholinergic neurons of hippocampus and praxiology of vascular dementia rats.MethodsThe vascular dementia models were made and divided into control and therapy group. After 30 days of HBO therapy, abilities of learning and memory of rats were tested by using the Morris water maze. Immunochemistry staining was used to observe the number of cholinergic neurons of CA1 subfield of hippocampus. ResultsAbilities of learning and memory of rats and the number of the neurons positive to ChAT like immunoreaction in the CA1 subfield of the hippocampus significantly increased in therapy group.ConclusionHyperbaric oxygen therapy is effective on the vascular dementia model rats.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effectiveness of Qilin Pills combined with sertraline in the treatment of secondary non-consolidated kidney qi premature ejaculation (PE).

METHODSA total of 120 patients with secondary non-consolidated kidney qi PE were randomly assigned to groups A (aged [35.5 ± 5.4] yr), B (aged [36.2 ± 5.7] yr), and C (aged [35.2 ± 5.3] yr) in the ratio of 1:1:1 to receive Qilin Pills (once 6 g, bid), sertraline (once 50 mg, qd), and Qilin Pills plus sertraline, respectively, all for 4 weeks. The intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT) and PE diagnostic tool (PEDT) scores were obtained before and after medication and at 1 month after drug withdrawal, and comparative analyses were made among the three groups of patients.

RESULTSThe IELT was dramatically prolonged in groups A, B, and C after treatment ([3.23 ± 1.84], [3.87 ± 2.43], and [5.92 ± 3.11] min) and at 1 month after drug withdrawal ([1.85 ± 1.27], [1.52 ± 1.06], and [ 4.26 ± 1.88 ] min) as compared with the baseline ([0.88 ± 0.45], [0.84 ± 0.47], and [0.85 ± 0.50] min) (P < 0.01), even longer in group C than in A and B (P < 0.01). The PEDT scores of the three groups were 5.1 ± 1.8, 4.9 ± 1.7, and 3.8 ± 1.2 after treatment and 8.2 ± 2.4, 8.1 ± 2.4, and 6.5 ± 2.1 at 1 month after drug withdrawal, significantly improved in comparison with 13.2 ± 3.2, 12.8 ± 3.1, and 13.1 ± 3.4 before treatment (P < 0.01), even more significantly in group C than in A and B (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONQilin Pills combined with sertraline has a definite efficacy in the treatment of secondary non-consolidated kidney qi PE and therefore deserves wide clinical application.
