BACKGROUND: Taohong Siwu Tang is made up of Taoren, Honghua,Danggui, Chishao and Chuangxiong. Paeoniflorin is one of the major effective components in Radix Paeoniae Rubra Extracts and Taohong Siwu Tang, and it can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and has the effect of anti-acute myocardial ischemia.OBJECTIVE: To compare the serum concentration of paeoniflorin in mice after intragastric administration (i.g.) of Radix Paeoniae Rubra extracts and Taohong Siwu Tang.DESIGE: Rndomized controlled observation.SETTING: Department of Pharmacy and Department of Basic Medicine,Hebei North University.MATERIALS: The trial was performed in the first laboratory of Department of Pharmacy, Hebei North University during February to June 2005.Eighty involved Kunming mice of either gender and of clean grade, with body mass of 18 to 22 g, were purchased from Experimental Animal Center, Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Taoren, Honghua, Danggui, Chishao, Shengdi and Chuanxiong 6 Chinese herbs were all purchased from Zhangjiakou Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.METHODS: ①Blank serum was isolated from eight mice which were fasted for 12 hours. Control sample solution of paeoniflorin was added into blank serum. Acetonitrile was used to deposit protein, the solution was centrifugated and isolated ,and 20μL supernatant was taken to obtain regression equation. ② Seventy-two Kunming mice were randomized into Radix Paeoniae Rubra extracts group and Taohong Siwu Tang group, with 36 mice in each. After being fasted for 12 hours, the mice in each group were intragastric administration of Radix Paeoniae Rubra extracts and Taohong Siwu Tang, respectively and the concentration of paeoniflorin was 300 mg/kg.1 mL blood was taken respectively at 15, 30, 60, 90, 120 and 180 minutes after intragastric administration and prepared into serum sample (6 mice at each time point in each group). The time to peak and difference in peak concentration of serum paeoniflorin were compared between intragastric administration of Radix Paeoniae Rubra extracts and Taohong Siwu Tang.The concentration of paeoniflorin was measured with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Chromatographic condition: chromatographic column YWG-C18 (250×4.6 mm,10 μm). The mobile phase was methanolKH2PO4 (0.05 mol/L) (38∶62) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detective wavelength was set at 230 nm. The column temperature was 25 ℃.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Serum concentration of paeoniflorin after administration of Radix Paeoniae Rubra extracts and Taohong Siwu Tang in mice.RESULTS: Seventy-two mice were used for Radix Paeoniae Rubra extr acts and Taohong Siwu Tang tests, and all of them entered the stage of result analysis without deletion. ① Chromatographic isolation results: Paeoniflorin could be well isolated from other components. The linear range for detection of paeoniflorin was 5.40-646.0 μg/mL. The mean recovery rate was 93.6% and the limit of detection was determined as 1.08 mg/L. ②Comparison of concentration of serum paeoniflorin of mice between two groups: The concentration of serum paeoniflorin in the Radix Paeoniae Rubra extracts group and Taohong Siwu Tang group reached the peak at 30 and 60 minutes after intragastric administration, respectively. The peak concentration of paeoniflorin of Taohong Siwu Tang group was lower than that of Radix Paeoniae Rubraextracts group [(36.27±5.72) mg/L vs.(46.82±5.29) mg/L, P ＜ 0.01 )].CONCLUSION: The concentration of serum paeoniflorin is significantly decreased after intragastric administration. It was further confirmed the decreased concentration of the crude paeonifiorin in the mice sera might result from promotion of its metabolic conversion by other chemical components in the complex prescription. This result needs further investigation.

Objective To study action mechanism of rhamnocitrin in Oxytropis Falcata on enhance the immune function. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into blank control group, model group, positive control group, traditional Chinese medicine high, medium, and low dose groups. All treatment groups received gavage with relevant medicine for 10 days. From the 8th day, blank control group received intraperitoneal injection with normal saline, while other groups received intraperitoneal injection with cyclophosphamide for 3 days. Through macrophages carbon clearance test, macrophage phagocytosis of chicken erythrocytes test, and immunosuppressive mice organ index detection, effects of rhamnocitrin in Oxytropis Falcata on nonspecific immune function of immunosuppressive mice were observed. Results Compared with model group and blank control group, traditional Chinese medicine high, medium, and low dose groups could improve the phagocytic activity of immunosuppressive mice, clearance index, and phagocytic coefficient (P<0.05), and increase the organ index of the thymus and spleen. Compared with the positive control group, the efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine high, medium, and low dose groups was low. Conclusion Rhamnocitrin in Oxytropis Falcata can enhance the immune function, improve the formation of spleen cells of mice serum hemolysin of chicken red blood cell immune.

To find out the risk factors of hospital infection in childhood primary nephrotic syndrome(nephrosis) and prophylactico therapeutic measures, 190 cases of child patients hospitalized for nephrosis during the period lasting from 1991 to 1999 were collected. Then a retrospective analysis of the distribution of the various risk factors was made using the single factor analysis and the logistic multi factor regression model. The hospital infection rate was found to be 34.2%, with respiratory infection accounting for 69.7%. The single factor analysis indicated that the risk factors included quantity of urinary protein per kilogram of weight within 24 hours(urinary protein), length of stay, length of hormone usage, entities of antibiotics used and length of such usage. The multi factor analysis indicated that the risk factors included urinary protein, entities of antibiotics used and length of such usage. The authors present the view that strengthening the control of respiratory diseases, setting up clean wards, and ensuring the rational use of antibiotics are some of the key measures for reducing the rate of hospital infection. The quantity of urinary protein is a sensitive index of hospital infection in nephrosis. Once diagnosis of nephrosis has been confirmed, it is necessary to use ACH in full dose and for a complete course of treatment so as to reduce the loss of protein from the urine as soon as possible.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness and safety of renal sympathetic denervation (RSD) for treatment of patients with resistant hypertension.Methods English and Chinese literatures of controlled clinical trials on RSD in treatment of resistant hypertension were searched from the Cochrane Library,PubMed,Web of Science,Wanfang Database and CNKI up to February 2013.Metaanalysis was performed with the selected studies by using software Rev.Man 5.0.Results Seven studies involving 354 cases with RSD and 146 controls were included for analysis.Compared with control group,RSD significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension (systolic,1 month:MD =-18.04,95％ CI:-19.94--16.14,P ＜0.01; 3 months:MD =0.01,95％CI:-28.10--17.98,P＜0.01; 6 months:MD=-25.59,95％CI:-34.08--17.11,P＜0.01; diastolic,1 month:MD=-7.53,95％ CI:-8.60--6.45,P＜0.01; 3 months:MD =0.01,95％CI:-12.5--4.47,P ＜ 0.01; 6 months:MD =-10.54,95％ CI:-16.44--4.63,P =0.000 5).In addition,there was no significant difference in adverse reactions between RSD treatment group and control group (OR =1.13,95 ％ CI:0.34-3.76,P =0.84).Conclusions Renal sympathetic denervation can effectively reduce blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension 1-6 months postoperatively,without increase of adverse reactions.The long-term efficacy and safety need to be further observed.
