Partial nature of "promoting blood circulation and dieresis" of Salvia Miltiorrhizain was initially demonstrated by investigating the regulation effect of AQP2 expression in kidney of trauma blood stasis model rats with the Salvia Miltiorrhizain so as to provide guidance for its clinical deployment of administration. Random allocation was taken to averagely divide 30 SD rats into two groups: 10 rats in normal group and 20 rats in blood stasis syndrome group. Trauma blood stasis rat model was established by quantitatively beating. Then the rat model group was divided into model group and salvia group. After 7 days of treatment, the rat kidney AQP2 expression was detected, the content of urine AQP2 was compared and the damaged local muscle and kidney pathological changes were observed by immunohistochemical method and western blot method. Compared with that of the normal group, rats in model group had inflammatory cells infiltration, blood stasis and edema of the injured local muscles and up-regulated AQP2 expression, decreasing urinary output, and kidney tissues blood stasis and edema (P < 0.05). On the other hand, compared with that of the model group, those parameters of rats in salvia group were all decreasing except urine output (P < 0.05). Such result indicated that Salvia Miltiorrhiza can reduce trauma blood stasis rat content of urine AQP2 and down-regulated AQP2 expression in kidney tissue, so as to reduce the reabsorption of water by renal tubular and increase urine output. The promoting blood circulation effect of Salvia Miltiorrhizain can alleviate the degree of the damaged tissue edema and encourage urine drainage. This therapy is closely related to the effect of regulating AQP2 in kidney by salvia, so the purpose of this study by verifying "promoting blood circulation and diuresis" as the mechanism for the regulation effect of the salvia on AQP2 expression.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of remifentanil-induced controlled hypotension (CH) on postoperative cogni-tive dysfunction (POCD) and serum S100β protein in elderly patients underwent spinal surgery,and to investigate their relation-ship. METHODS:Sixty elderly patients undergoing selective laminectomy decompression internal fixation of lumbar or thoracic fractures under general anesthesia were selected prospectively from orthopedics department of our hospital during Jan. 2014-Dec. 2015,and then divided into CH group and non-CH group in accordance with random number table,with 30 cases in each group. Both groups received general anesthesia of injection and inhalation via endotracheal intubation. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) of CH group were reduced to 70%-80%of the basic values by adjusting remifentanil infusion rate;those of non-CH group were main-tained at basic level. Surgery duration,anesthesia duration,intraoperative blood loss,the incidence of POCD and serum concentra-tion of S100β protein were observed in 2 groups. The relationship of serum concentration of S100β protein with POCD was ana-lyzed,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:The intraoperative blood loss of CH group was significantly less than that of non-CH group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of POCD be-tween 2 groups on the 1st and 7th day after surgery(P>0.05). The incidence of POCD and serum concentration of S100β protein in CH group were significantly higher than in non-CH group on the 2nd and 3rd day after surgery,with statistical significance(P<0.05). The serum concentration of S100β protein may be related to the incidence of POCD (r=0.992 7,P=0.001 3). CONCLU-SIONS:Remifentanil CH used in elderly patients underwent spinal surgery can reduce intraoperative blood loss,but increase the se-rum concentration of S100βprotein and the incidence of POCD at early stage.

Objective:To study the antimalarial mechanism of benflumetol (B). Methods: Flow cytometry (FCM) was used to analyze the effects of B and chloroquine (CQ) on DNA content of Plasmodium berghei and pH value of the lysosome of malarial parasites. Results: DNA content of the plasmodia not treated with any drugs was not changed in 24 hours,while benflumetol could decrease the DNA content: the DNA content began to decrease 2 h after the drug administration and reached the minimum by 16 h, but somewhat increased at 24 h after administration. The pH in the lysosome increased 1 h and restored premedication level 4 h after benflumetol administration. Chloroquine had the same effects on DNA and lysosome pH of malarial parasites.Conclusions: The antimalarial mechanism of benflumetol is directly related to its effect to inhibit the synthesis of DNA.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of Diacylglycerol Kinase α (DGKα) mRNA in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC),and to explore the function of DGKα in the metastasis of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods Tissues from 30 cases of HCC and 5 normal liver tissues were collected immediately after surgical resection.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR and in situ hybridization were used to detect the expression levels and distribution of DGKα mRNA,respectively.Results Semi-quantitative RT-PCR showed that the expression level of DGKα mRNA in HCC (0.798±0.317) and normal tissues (0.908±0.425) was significantly higher than those in carcinoma adjacent tissue with cirrhosis (0.205±0.102,P<0.05).In situ hybridization demonstrated that the number of DGKα mRNA positive hepatocytes in HCC [(57.6±6.3)/mm2] and normal tissues [69.8±8.7)/mm2] was significantly higher than those in carcinoma adjacent tissue with cirrhosis [(26.3±4.9)/mm2,P<0.05]; DGKα mRNA was expressed in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes in HCC and carcinoma adjacent tissue with cirrhosis,and in the nuclear of hepatocytes in normal tissues.Conclusion The present study suggests that DGKa may play important roles in carcinogenesis and progressing of HCC.

Objective To study the effect of parecoxib sodium preemptive analgesia on the postoperative cognition and inflammatory cytokines in elderly patients.Methods Sixty elderly male patients undergoing replace-ment of total hip were randomly divided into two groups:the control group(group C,30 cases) and the parecoxib sodi-um group(group P,30 cases).In group C,physiological saline 5 ml was injected after induction of anesthesia.Pare-coxib sodium 40 mg was injected after induction of anesthesia in group P.Peripheral venous blood was collected at the following time points:2h before operation(T0 ),and 4h(T1 ),24h(T2 ) and 48h(T3 ) after operation.And the serum concentrations of IL -1β,IL -6,tumor necrosis factor α(TNF -α) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Cognitive function was assessed by mini -mental state examination(MMSE) at the time of T0 -T3 . Results The MMSE scores in group P[(25.4 ±0.6) points,(27.2 ±0.1)points] were significantly higher than those in group C at T1 and T2 .The concentrations of IL -1β,IL -6 and TNF -αin group P[T1:(18.43 ±4.45)pg/mL, (165.34 ±9.57)pg/mL,(34.43 ±3.83)pg/mL;T2:(14.59 ±2.59)pg/mL,(98.99 ±7.28)pg/mL,(22.32 ± 3.81)pg/mL]were lower than those in group C[T1:(23.97 ±3.85)pg/mL,(204.19 ±12.44)pg/mL,(37.77 ± 4.81)pg/mL;T2:(19.33 ±3.18)pg/mL,(121.35 ±9.67)pg/mL,(29.01 ±3.39)pg/mL]at T1 ,T2 .The concen-trations of IL -1β,IL -6 and TNF -αand the MMSE scores had no differences in group P and group C at T3 .The concentrations of IL -1β,IL -6 and TNF -αin group P at T1 and T2 [(9.57 ±2.24)pg/mL,(46.15 ±6.18)pg/mL, (14.48 ±3.14)pg/mL] were lower than those at T0,and had no difference at T3 .Conclusion Parecoxib sodium preemptive can reduce the incidence of POCD in elderly patients by inhibiting the release of early postoperative pro -inflammatory cytokines.

Now organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) bioremediation mainly means microbial bioremediation. However, phytoremediation has an advantage over microbial bioremediation because phytoremediation is safer and costs less than microbial bioremediation. Nevertheless, phytoremediation has limitations yet such as plants need better growth conditions and the efficiency of phytoremediation is lower. All these have confined the application of phytoremediation. Progresses of microbial bioremediation and phytoremediation of OPs were reviewed and OPs degrading enzymes and their organism sources, which are known by now, were summarized. Moreover, there are five important ways to enhance the efficiency of phytoremediation of OPs. They are culling plants, studying the action between soil and OPs, studying the genes that can resist or get rid of OPs, setting up the combined system of microbial bioremediation and phytoremediation and using degrading enzymes secreted selectively by roots.
