Thirty patients with vitiligo were treated by cupping of skin lesion and compress of Chinese herbs, compared with western medical treatment. After 3-course's treatments the total effective rate ws 96.7% in treatment group and 76.7% in control group. There was a significant difference (P＜0.05)between the two groups shown by statistical analysis.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the quality standard of Yishen granules.METHODS:Polygonum multiflorum,Ganoderma,Radix Astragali and Angelica sinensis in the formulation were identified by TLC.The content of stilbene glucoside in polygonum multiflorum was determined by HPLC.RESULTS: The TLC identification method exhibited good specificities.The samples were similar to the references /control in that their TLC spots assumed identical color at the corresponding places,yet without the interference form the negative samples.The linear range of stilbene glucoside was 0.037 75～0.755 ?g(r=0.999 5) and the average recovery was 99.44%(RSD=1.79%,n=6).CONCLUSION: The established standard is accurate,reliable and applicable for the quality control of Yishen granules.

Objective:To investigate the effect of saw palmetto extract ( SR ) on GL261 glioma in rats and immune system.Methods:The 40 rats were divided into 4 groups randomly,one was the control group without tumor( the blank group) ( n=10) ,the other 30 rats were given subcutaneous inoculation of tumor cells and then divided into 3 groups:the tumor-bearing group( n=10) ,low dose SR group( n=10) ,and high dose SR group( n=10).After 1 week fed,the rats of SR groups were given the saw palmetto extract,low dose group 50 mg/kg once a day every other day and 300 mg/kg of high dose group every other day.The tumor-bearing groups received the same dose of distilled water.After 4 weeks fed, we measured the tumor weight and the inhibition rate was calculated.The tumor cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining.The activity of splenic macrophages was detected by macrophage phagocytosis of chicken erythrocytes and CD4+lymphocytes by flow cytometry.Results:①The SR groups compared with tumor group, the tumor weight was significantly reduced(F=62.678,P=0.000).The tumor inhibition rate was significantly higher in high dose group.②The apoptosis of tumor cells in tumor-bearing group was significantly less than SR groups and the apoptosis was significantly increased after treatment with SR ,especially in high dose SR group(F=1.287,P=0.000).③Compared with the blank group,the macrophage activity decreased remarkablely.SR enhanced the macrophage activity obviously, positively related to doses of SR ( F=141.205,P=0.000;F=126.903,P=0.000).④In the tumor-bearing group,the CD4+lymphocyte count decreased significantly.After SR treatment,the CD4+lymphocyte increased and were positively related to the dose of SR.Conclusion: Saw palmetto extract can strengthen the immune system.

Objective To evaluate the effect of labor analgesia on the development of postpartum depression.Methods Seventy nulliparous parturients who were at full term with a singleton fetus in vertex presentation,aged 20-35 yr,with body mass index＜27 kg/m2,at 38-41 weeks of gestation,of ASA physical status Ⅰ,were enrolled and divided into 2 groups (n =35 each) using a random number table:vaginal delivery group (group VD) and labor analgesia group (group LA).In LA group,the epidural catheter was placed at L2,3 interspace for combined spinal-epidural analgesia when their cervical dilations were in 2-3 cm.VAS score was maintained below 3 after the analgesia.Parturients completed Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale questionnaires 42 days after the labor.The development of depression was recorded.Results The incidence of postnatal depression was significantly lower in LA group (17％) than in VD group (40％).Conclusion Labor analgesia can decrease the development of postpartum depression.

The effect of dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum on the activity of digestive enzyme was researched, as fellowing amylase, protease, lipase. The results showed that dark tea fermentation liquid with Eurotium Cristatum may increase remarkably the activity of ?-amylase and protease, but decrease efficiently the activity of lipase. The fermentation liquid improves the digestion and absorption of starch and protein, but inhibits the decomposition and absorption of fat, so it can explain the mechanism of Fu-brick tea's health functions.

Field avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) designated as JS/9 5/03, which was isolated from Jiangsu province of china, was cultivated in chicken emb ryo. It's single strain RNA was extracted from purified virus and worked as temp late of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), a pair of pri mer designed according to megalign results of published IBV sequences in Genbank was used to amplify the neucleocapsid gene, the RT-PCR product was sequenced d irectly. Sequence analysis revealed that the sequence of JS/95/03 is most homolo gized with that of M41 strain.

Objective: To evaluate the effect and safety of an anti-IL-8 monoclonal antibody cream for the treatment psoriasis vulgaris. Methods: Eight-four patients with psoriasis vulgaris were treated with the anti-IL-8 monoclonal antibody cream for 8 weeks,the safety and effect were evaluated by analyzing the adverse action and the changing of the diameter,color,thickness,scales of the lesions. Results: After the treatments for 8 weeks,11 patients were cured,41 patients were remarkably improved,the cure rate and effective rate is 13.1% and 61.9%,respectively.Among them the cure rate of guttate type and effective rate of mixed type were the highest,while the cure rate and effective rate for aggressive stage were both higher than those of stable stage.And only one patient had mild local adverse action. Conclusion: The anti-IL-8 monoclonal antibody cream was effective and safe for the treatment of psoriasis vulgaris.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of Xingnaojing injection in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction,and its effects on neurological function,activities of living,inflammatory factors and coma score.METHODS:Ninety patients with cerebral infarction admitted in Chongqing People's Hospital from Jun.2015 to Jan.2016 were divided into control group and observation group according to random number table,with 45 cases in each group.Control group was given conventional treatment as Clopidogrel bisulfate tablets 75 mg,po,qd+ Nimodipine tablets 20 mg,po,tid.Observation group was additionally given Xingnaojing injection 20 mL added into 0.9％ Sodium chloride solution 250 mL,ivgtt,qd,on the basis of control group.Both groups received treatment for consecutive 14 d.Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed.NIHSS scores,Barthel indexes,Glasow coma scale and the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were also observed before and after treatment.The occurrence of ADR was recorded.RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group (91.11％) was significantly higher than that of control group (73.33 ％),with statistical significance (P＜0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in NIHSS scores,Barthel indexes,Glasow coma scale or the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 between 2 groups (P＞0.05).After treatment,NIHSS scores,the levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while Barthel indexes were increased significantly;the improvement of above indexes in observation group were significantly better than control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).Fourteen days after treatment,Glasow coma scale of control group was significantly higher than before treatment;1,5,14 d after treatment,Glasow coma scale of observation group was significantly higher than before treatment,and significantly higher than that of control group,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).Total incidence of ADR in observation group (6.67％) was significantly lower than control group (13.33％),with statistical significance (P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Xingnaojing injection shows significant therapeutic efficacy for acute cerebral infarction,can effectively improve the neurological function,activities of living,the regain of consciousness,and can reduce the level of inflammatory factor with good safety.
