The HPLC-ELSD method was used in the content determination of astragaloside, astragalosideⅠ, astragalosideⅡand astragalosideⅢ in Mongolia Radix Astragali (Astragalus membranaceus(Fisch.) Bge. var. mongholicus(Bge.) Hsiao) among 16 batches from various habitats. The DIKMA Diamonsil C18 (150 mm× 4.6 mm, 5μm) was adopted with acetonitrile and water as the mobile phase at a gradient mode program. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. And the column temperature was 30℃. The ELSD detector parameters were the drift tube temperature at 90℃, and the air flow rate of 2.8 L·min-1. The SPSS 16.0 software was used in the cluster analysis of content determination. The results showed that when the injection volume was within the range of 0.093 2-1.02μg (r = 0.999 5), 0.789-8.78μg (r = 0.999 7), 0.506-3.13μg (r = 0.999 6), and 0.016 1-1.38μg (r = 0.999 2) for astragaloside, astragalosideⅠ, astragalosideⅡ and astragalosideⅢ, respectively, the average recoveries were 97.55%, 98.61%, 99.68%, 98.58%with RSD of 1.2%, 1.3%, 1.3%, 1.2%, respectively. The results of cluster analysis showed that the single using of astragaloside as index was unable to differentiate Mongolia Radix Astragali from various habitats. However, the simultaneous determination of 4 types of astragalosides as indexes can differentiate Mongolia Radix Astragali from various habitats. It was concluded that the method was simple, quick and accurate, which can directly reflect the quality status of Mongolia Radix Astragali from different origins. It also provided new ideas for the quality control of Mongolia Radix Astragali.

Objective To investigate the effect of Pericarpium Zanthoxyli (HJ) on guinea pigs trachea in vitro and its therapeutic mechanism. Methods The actions of HJ on the contraction of normal trachea and on the spasm of spasmodic tracheas caused by acetylcholine (Ach) and histamine phosphate (HIS), as well as the actions on intracellular Ca2+ - dependent contraction and extracellular Ca2+ - dependent contraction induced by HIS were observed. Results HJ could inhibit the guinea pigs trachea contraction , antagonize the contraction of trachea spasm induced by Ach and HIS , restrain the extracellular Ca2+ - dependent contraction induced by HIS in a dose- dependent manner. Conclusion HJ has an antiasthma effect.

Objective To screen the differentially expressed proteins of blood stasis blocking tendon and vessel syndrome and liver-kidney deficiency syndrome of the steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head ( SONFH) by proteomic technology, so as to supply evidence for Chinese medical syndrome classification. Methods The serum was taken separately from 10 patients with blood stasis blocking tendon and vessel syndrome, 10 patients with liver-kidney deficiency syndrome and 10 healthy volunteers. The two dimensional electrophoresis combined with mass spectrometric method was applied to screen and identify the differentially expressed proteins, and then the obtained protein candidates were verified by Western blotting method. Results Seven proteins were identified from differentially expressed protein spots, including hemoglobin subunit delta, actin, complement C4, antithrombin-Ⅲ, apolipoprotein A-IV, leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein and serum amyloid A-2 protein. We found that antithrombin-Ⅲ and serum amyloid A-2 protein had specific expression in the SONFH patients with blood stasis blocking tendon and vessel, and complement C4 and leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein had specific expression in the SONFH patients with liver-kidney deficiency syndrome. The results of Western blot method showed that the expression levels of complement C4 and antithrombin-Ⅲ were down-regulated in SONFH patients ( P<0.05 compared with the healthy volunteers) , the down-regulation of complement C4 was more obvious in SONFH patients with liver-kidney deficiency syndrome (P<0.05) and the down-regulation of antithrombin-Ⅲ was more obvious in the patients with blood stasis blocking tendon and vessel (P<0.05), the results being accorded with those of proteomic detection. Conclusion Antithrombin-Ⅲand serum amyloid A-2 protein may be the specific serum protein markers of SONFH patients with blood stasis blocking tendon and vessel syndrome, and complement C4 and leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein may be the specific serum protein markers of SONFH patients with liver-kidney deficiency syndrome.

Sepsis should be defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dys-regulated host response to infection. Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is one of the methods for the clinical treatment of sepsis. For patients undergoing CRRT, rational antimicrobial therapy is very important for the control of patient's infection. However, during CRRT, there is no clear guideline for the dose adjustment of antibiotics. In this paper, we analyzed the effect of CRRT combined with antibiotics on sepsis treatment in China and abroad, and discussed its effect on antibiotic clearance, and provided reference for clinical work.

Microdialysis is an automatic biological sampling technique that is directed into the target tissue. Microdialysis is used to monitor the changes of drug and related substances associated with pathological physiology of tumor in the target tissue at the molecular level. Microdialysis is applied to evaluate the pharmaco-kinetics of drugs in the target tissue of tumor,optimize the combination therapy,explore molecular targeted therapy and study the early diagnosis and prognosis of tumor. Microdialysis provides a new idea and method for the prevention and cure research of tumor.

BACKGROUND:The effect of dimethyl sulfoxide cryoprotectants has been got a lot of verification in the low-temperature medical applications. But there is no literature addressing microdialysis detection of dimethyl sulfoxide cryoprotectants. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the microdialysis relative recovery of different concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide cryoprotectants used for limb reattachment. METHODS:In vitro linear probe relative recovery of different concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (2%, 5%, 8%) was detected by retrodialysis gain and loss method. The correction in vivo experiment was done to estimate dimethyl sulfoxide relative recovery in rabbit amputated limbs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The relative recoveries of different concentrations of dimethyl sulfoxide (2%, 5%, 8%) were (49.49±3.56)%, (46.30±1.48)%, (52.66±2.54)%using retrodialysis gain method and (50.99±6.89)%, (43.86±1.35)%, (50.67±0.75)%using retrodialysis loss method. The average recoveries were (49.48±3.18)%and (48.51±4.03)%, respectively. There was no difference in the relative recovery of dimethyl sulfoxide detected using two methods. The change of dimethyl sulfoxide concentration could not influence the retrodialysis gain and loss method calibration results. The recovery was (15.45±4.8)%in vivo. These findings indicate that the microdialysis technology is suitable for dimethyl sulfoxide sampling in vivo that has no obvious influence on the relative recovery.

In order to search for new antiplatelet agents with higher potency, a series of tetramethylpyrazine ( TMP) /chalcone hybrids ( 2-26) were synthesized and evaluated based on the principle of bioisostere and hybrid-ization. They exerted inhibitory activity against adenosine diphosphate ( ADP )-induced and arachidonic acid ( AA)-induced platelet aggregation to varied extent. Among them, compound 8 was the most potent with IC50 of 0. 14 mmol/L on ADP-induced platelet aggregation ( 9. 1 folds of TMP and 10. 5 folds of chalcone ) and 0. 09 mmol/L on AA-induced platelet aggregation ( 8. 8 folds of TMP and 10. 0 folds of chalcone) , which was superior to clinically used anti-platelet drug aspirin ( ASP, IC50 =0. 15 mmol/L) .

Objective To quantify the correlations between Elekta XVI cone beam CT dose and various scanning protocols,providing mathematical models to assess the protocol-dependency of imaging dose during imnage guided radiotherapy.Methods Based on standard protocols and various combinations of kVp and mA on an XVI mounted on an Elekta Versa HD accelerator,the air KERMA was measured at various positions in a standard PTW CTDI body phantom using calibrated PTW 30009 kV chamber and UNIDOS webline electrometer.Weighted CT dose index (CTDIw) was computed thereafter.SigmaPlot 10.0 was used to fit the measurements against mA and/or kVp yielding empirical functions.Results Under standard protocols,the CTDIw of Varian OBI was only 11.23％ (chest) and 9.15％ (pelvis) of Elekta XVI.Using the default and other 4 investigated kVp values,the central and peripheral KERMA were both proportional to mA,and vet the slope value a varied dramatically from 0.479 to 6.679.Major affecting factors included kVp settings,measurement locations,and dosimetric mnetrics,etc.None linear regressions were used to fit kVp against KERMA at various locations and CTDIw (R2 ＞ 0.997).The differences between all coefficients were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The impact of changing both mA and kVp on the dose to phantom center can be described as mGy =(5.917-0.197 ×kVp+0.002 × kVp2-5.063 × 10-6 × kVp3) × mA.Conclusions Imaging dose of Elekta XVI is strongly dependent on scanning paraneters.The proposed mathematical models can be used as efficient and robust indicators of such dependency.
