Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 1994;0(07):-
Objective To investigate the requirement of water in Hemsleya zhejiangensis during the culture process. Methods The chlorophyll content, the gas exchange, and chlorophyll fluorescence parameter in H. zhejiangensis were measured after treatment with drought stress for different time. Results With decreasing of relative soil water content, the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) in H. zhejiangensis was increased before the 15 d and than was decreased. The stomatal conductance (Gs) and transpiration rate (E) were decreased under drought stress for 5 d, while the intercellular CO2 concentration (Ci) was increased. The efficiency of energy conversion of open PSⅡ (Fv′/Fm′) maintained rather stable, while its electron transport rate (ETR), actual PSⅡ efficiency (?PSⅡ), photochemical quenching (qP), and non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) were increased after the 10 d of drought stress, and then was decreased, which was consistent with the change in Pn. Conclusion The growth of H. zhejiangensis is promoted under slight drought stress condition, which is probably associated with the dissipation of excess light energy.

Objective To investigate the effects of glycyrrhizin-18? on the expressions of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1) in renal interstitium in rats with obstructive nephropathy. Methods A total of 100 Wistar rats were divided into experiment group (include prophylaxis group with glycyrrhizin-18?, glycyrrhizin-18? treatment group, and group with normal saline) and control group (sham operation group). Models of rats with obstructive nephropathy were established by unilateral ureteral ligation. The rats were sacrificed at 7, 14, 28, and 56 d after operation and specimens were taken from the renal cortex. The morphopathological changes in the renal interstitium were observed byr light and electron microscopy. CTGF, TGF-?1, and collagen type Ⅲ were detected by immunohistochemical staining. The measured data were evaluated by EIG image analysis system. Results In the renal interstitium, there was progressive fibrosis in the model. Semi-quantitative analysis indicated that the expression levels of CTGF, TGF-?1, and collagen type Ⅲ in the renal interstitium in glycyrrhizin-18? treatment and prophylaxis groups were markedly higher than those in the sham operation group (P0.05). The expression of CTGF in the renal interstitium was closely correlated with those of TGF-?1 and collagen type Ⅲ (P

Objective To compare the effect and safety of rituximab plus CHOP (R-CHOP) and CHOP regimens for the treatment of newly diagnosed patients with early-stage primary gastric diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PG-DLBCL). Methods A total of 65 patients with PG-DLBCL were retrospectively divided into two groups: 35 patients were treated with R-CHOP regimen, the others with CHOP regimen. NHL international efficacy assessment and WHO criteria were used to assess the therapeutic and the adverse reactions respectively. Results The complete remission (CR) rate of R-CHOP group was 74.3 % (26/35), which was significantly higher than that of CHOP group [50.0 % (15/30), P< 0.05], but the adverse reactions rates of two groups had no significant difference (P>0.05). The Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the five-year survival rates of two groups had no significant difference (88.6%vs 75.0%, P>0.05). The PFS of R-CHOP group was better than that of CHOP group (94.4 months vs 74.9 months, P< 0.05). Conclusion Compared with CHOP regimen , R-CHOP regimen increases the therapeutic efficacy in patients with PG-DLBCL, and dose not increase the adverse reactions.

Objective To evaluate the effects of mild-hypothermia therapy on coagulation and prognosis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury(sTBI). Methods Forty sTBI patients with Glasgow coma score(GCS) 3-8 were randomly divided into normal temperature-treatment control group(NT group)and hypothermia-treatment group(HT group),each 20 cases. Both groups were given conventional therapy,and HT group was additionally given mild-hypothermia therapy. The values of prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), thrombin time(TT) and concentrations of plasma fibrinogen(Fg),D-dimer(DD)in two groups were monitored dynamically. The incidences of frequently seen blood coagulation related complications,such as delayed hematoma, hyper-fibrinolysis,cerebral infarction were counted,and 3 months after injury,the standard glasgow outcome scale (GOS)was applied to assess the prognosis. Results The values of PT,APTT and TT were significantly shorter and reached their valley values after 12 hours in NT group〔PT(s):10.6±0.8 vs. 11.6±1.2,APTT(s):16.7±1.2 vs. 20.8±1.4,TT(s):9.8±0.8 vs. 13.6±0.8〕,the concentrations of plasma Fg,DD were obviously increased and reached their peak values after 12 hours〔Fg(g/L):3.2±0.9 vs. 2.5±0.8,DD(μg/L):4 126.7±1 170.3 vs. 873.5±140.2〕,which showed that hypercoagulability appeared in the first 12 hours after injury in NT group,and after 12 hours turned into hyper-fibrinolysis. However,the values of PT,APTT,TT extended slowly until 12 hours reaching to their peak values〔PT(s):14.4±0.9 vs. 10.9±1.0,APTT(s):45.4±1.0 vs. 20.2±1.0,TT(s):25.3±1.2 vs. 13.0±0.6〕,the concentration of plasma Fg declined gradually until 12 hours to its valley value(g/L:1.8±0.7 vs. 2.3±0.6)and then back to normal,the concentration of DD rose gradually until 12 hours reaching to its peak value(μg/L:3 079.8±947.6 vs. 795.6±120.7)and then back to normal at 72 hours in HT group. The time of recovery for above indexes in HT group was earlyer than that in NT group. The incidence of delayed hematoma in NT group was higher than that of HT group(10%vs. 5%),but there was no statistical significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05),and the incidences of hyper-fibrinolysis(5% vs. 35%,P<0.05)and cerebral infarction (0 vs. 25%,P<0.05)in HT group were obviously lower than those in NT group. The rate of good therapeutic effect was higher(30% vs. 5%,P<0.05),and mortality lower(10% vs. 25%,P<0.05)in HT group than that of NT group. Conclusion Mild-hypothermia therapy can ameliorate coagulation dysfunction, reduce morbidity of coagulation related complications,and can improve the prognoses of patients with sTBI.
