Aim To investigate the interactions be-tween the neuroinflammation caused by lipopolysaccha-ride(LPS) and brain CYP2E1.Methods The human cholinergic neuroblastoma cell line IMR-32 was treated with LPS ( 0.1 mg · L-1 , 1.0 mg · L-1 ) , and the LDH and SOD activities were determined after 24 h in-cubation .In order to determine the roles of MAPK sig-naling pathway in the regulation of CYP 2E1 by LPS, the IMR-32 cells were treated with p38 pathway inhibi-tor SB203580 or ERK pathway inhibitor U 0126 for 45 min before the incubation with LPS .The human do-paminergic neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y with CYP2 E1 over-expression was established . The LDH and SOD activities were determined in SH-SY5 Y cells over-expressed CYP2 E1 and control cells treated with LPS(0.1 mg· L-1 , 1.0 mg· L-1 ) for 24 h.Results
The levels of LDH in IMR-32 cells treated with high-dose LPS were increased by 1.38-fold ( P <0.01 ) compared with the control group , and the levels of SOD reduced by 15.0%( P <0.01 ) .Compared with the control, CYP2E1 mRNA and protein levels in IMR-32 cells treated with high-dose LPS were increased by 1.25-fold(P<0.01) and 1.19-fold(P<0.05).The up-regulation of CYP2E1 by LPS could be attenuated by SB203580 and U0126 pretreatment.Compared with the control cells, the CYP2E1 over-expression in-creased LDH levels by 1.28-fold ( P<0.01 ) and de-creased SOD levels by 3.53-fold ( P<0.01 ) after the low-dose of LPS treatment .The CYP2E1 over-expres-sion increased LDH levels by 1.54-fold ( P <0.01 ) and decreased SOD levels by 2.17-fold( P<0.01) af-ter the high-dose of LPS treatment , compared with the control cells.Conclusions LPS can induce CYP2E1 mRNA and protein levels , and the p38 and ERK sig-naling pathway may be involved in the regulation .The elevated CYP2 E1 levels aggravate the damage to neuro-nal cells caused by LPS .Brain CYP2E1 may be an im-portant contributing factor to the pathological process of neuroinflammatory injury .

Objective: To improve the quality control level of ethanol extraction process of Corydalis Rhizoma (CR) by using quality by design (QbD), so as to meet the extraction requirements of Kedaling Tablets. Methods: The critical process parameters were solvent multiple, extraction time and soaking time, and the critical quality attributes were dry extract rate, content and transfer rate of dehydrocorydaline. The response surface methodology was used to establish the mathematical model between the critical process parameters and the critical quality attributes. The overlapping design space of multiple index design spaces was established to select the optimal operation space, where the process verification was carried out. Results: The operating space parameters of ethanol extraction of CR was 14-24 h of the immersion time, 3.0-4.0 times of the first time solvent multiple, 1.5-2.0 times of the second and third time solvent multiple, and 1.5-2.5 h of the extraction time. Under this operating space, the extraction yield of CR was ranged from 6%-8%, the content of dehydrocorydaline was more than 2.8%, and the transfer rate was not less than 85%. Conclusion: The concept of QbD is helpful to improve the ethanol extraction process of CR, and to obtain a reliable and suitable extraction operation space for the production of Kedaling Tablets.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the preparation technology of Moutan Cortex standard decoction and formula granules. METHODS: Moutan Cortex standard decoction was prepared by decocting pot and the parameters and fingerprints of 15 batches of decoction were established.To improve the preparation process of Moutan Cortex formula granules, paeonol was quickly recovered by using volatile oil collection device in the process of vacuum concentration, and the collected paeonol was added back to the concent rated solution.Then, the formula granules of Moutan Cortex were prepared by spray drying and dry granulating.The correlation between the decoction pieces, extract, concentrate, powder, formula granules and standard decoction were compared by taking the contents of paeoniflorin, paeonol and fingerprint as indexes. RESULTS: The range of parameters for Moutan Cortex standard decoction(70%-130% of the average value) were as follows:the dry extract rate was 19.46%-36.14%. The content of paeoniflorin was in the range of 1.83%-3.40%, and the transfer rate was 60.32%-100.00%. The content of paeonol was 1.25%-2.33%, and the transfer rate was 14.42%-26.78%.The contents of paeoniflorin and paeonol in the formula granules of Moutan Cortex conformed to the range of standard decoction parameters. CONCLUSION: The parameters of Moutan Cortex standard decoctions prepared by decocting pot are confirmed, and a new preparation process of Moutan Cortex formula granules is established.Both of standard decoction and formula granules have good consistency in the contents of the index components,which could provide a certain scientific basis for the guidance of actual production.

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear transcriptional factors closely related to glucose and lipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity. Activation of PPARs targets treated type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension and other metabolic diseases by insulin resistance. Recently, a variety of active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been proved to activate PPARs targets for improving insulin resistance, which has attracted widespread attention at home and abroad. In this paper, we reviewed the pathological mechanisms between insulin resistance and PPARs, and summarized the active ingredients of TCMs improved insulin resistance based on PPARs targets. This paper may provide some theoretical guidance for the development of new drugs and TCMs.

Results The end 40 ms vector of QRS wave changed in 102 patients with manifested AP and in 4 patients with concealed AP (P < 0. 05). Conclusion The end 40 ms vector of QRS wave of any site manifested AP can change and the changes have the specihty of leads.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of baicalein on the gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) in the TM4 Sertoli cells of the mouse testis and its related mechanism.

METHODSWe measured the cytotoxicity of different concentrations of baicalein on the TM4 Sertoli cells in the mouse testis by MTT, detected the fluorescence transfer of the TM4 Sertoli cells by parachute assay, and determined the expression of the protein connexin 43 ( Cx43) in the baicalein-treated cells by Western blot and immunofluorescence assay.

RESULTSBaicalein produced no obvious cytotoxicity on the TM4 Sertoli cells at the concentration below 60 µmol/L but significantly increased their GJIC at 0-20 µmol/L (P < 0.01). Western blot and immunofluorescence assay showed that 0-20 µmol/L baicalein remarkably elevated the expression of Cx43 in the TM4 cells (P < 0.01) and on the membrane of the TM4 cells.

CONCLUSIONBaicalein at the concentration of 0-20 µmol/L can significantly enhance GJIC in mouse TM4 Sertoli cells by increasing the expression of the Cx43 protein.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of chimeric deep circumflex iliac artery perforator flap (DCIAPF) applied in the simultaneous reconstruction of the oromandibular defect.

METHODSSix patients underwent simultaneous oromandibular reconstruction using DCIAPF following segmental mandibulectomy in Xiangya Hospital from March 2014 to July 2014. The skin paddle was designed to be centered on the pre-operative perforator mapping. Retrograde dissection was performed through the underlying abdominal wall to raise the skin paddle. The pedicle was isolated from the groin, and the iliac crest was cut. The deep iliac circumflex vessels were dissected until the skin paddle was reached. Finally, the donor site was strictly sutured layer by layer to avoid ventral hernia.

RESULTSThe skin paddles ranged from 3.5 cmx5.0 cm to 7.0 cmx 10.0 cm. The length of the bone components was 5.0 cm to 11.0 cm. All donor sites closed primarily without skin grafting. DCIAPF was harvested successfully in five patients, except for one patient whose perforator originated from the superficial iliac circumflex vessels. An additional pair of anastomoses was performed. All iliac flaps survived. However, slight skin-edge necrosis and exfoliation caused by flap thinning occurred in one patient and healed after pruning and dressing change. The heights of all alveolar ridges were significantly restored, and no serious donorsite complication was observed during the three to six months' follow-up.

CONCLUSIONDCIAPF is a reconstructive option for mandibular defects because of its adequate bone tissue and rich blood supply. Satisfactory alveolar ridge restoration greatly facilitates future denture retention. DCIAPF also has a great degree of mobility between the skin paddle and the bone component when appliedin composite oromandibular defect reconstruction.
