BACKGROUND: Migraine is usually located in the course of Shaoyang channel, and the curative effect of treatment with methods of treating Shaoyang disease by dispersing and dispelling wind (DW) as well as relieving pain (RP) on migraine is prominent, but how about the effects of these two ways on thrombogenesis in vitro and the function of platelet aggregation (PA)?OBJECTIVE: To probe into the effect of treatment of Shaoyang disease and methods of DW and RP on thrombogenesis in vitro and function of PA throughthe experiments of thrombogenesis in vitro and function of PA in rats, and investigate the compatible significance of DS and DW as well as RP through formula compatible experiment.DESIGN: Completely randomized grouping design and controlled trial.SETTING: Department of Prescription, College of Basic Medical Sciences,Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Laboratory of Department of Prescription, Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March to August 2000. Sixty healthy adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into 6 groups: Normal control group, Shaoyang treatment group (group Ⅰ ), DW and RP group (group Ⅱ ), high-dose and whole-prescription group (group Ⅲ), low-dose and whole-prescription group (group Ⅳ), and positive control group with 10 rats in each group.METHODS:① Positive control group:Gastric perfusion of 0.034 g/mL compound divaside slice suspension (made by Harbin Second Biochemical Pharmacy co., Ltd) was given to rats (0.39/kg); Group Ⅲ and Ⅳ (ingredients: Chaihu 20 g, huangqin 10 g, banxia 15 g, gancao 10 g, chuanqiong 20 g, tianma 15 g, xixin 5 g, quanxie 5 g, wugong 5 g): Gastric perfusion of 1.5, 0.75 g/mL of complete prescription was given to rats (17.40, 8.70 g/kg);Group Ⅰ (ingredients: Chaihu 20 g, huangqin 10 g, banxia 15 g, gancao 10 g) and group Ⅱ (ingredients: Chuanqiong 20 g, tianma 15 g, xixin 5 g, quanxie 5 g, wugong 5 g): Gastric perfusion of 0.75 g/mL agents of treatment with DS and DW wind antidyne was given to rats as 8.70 g/kg; Normal control group: Gastric perfusion of normal saline of the same volume wasgiven to rats.Intervention on rats of all groups lasted 12 days.② Experiment of thrombogenesis in vitro: The cephalic artery of one side was seperated 2 hours after the last time of administration. The distal part was deligated, the blood current in proximal part was blocked with bulldog clamp and the arterial cannula was inserted into the cephalic artery. Loosened the bulldog clamp, blood of 1.8 mL was collected and put into the rotary ring of thrombogensis meter to rotate for 15 minutes at 17 r/min,and then poured the thrombus, measured the length and humid weight of thromb. After that,dried the humid thromb and measured the dry weight.③ Determination of PA:The packing fraction (PF) in the 1st and 5th minutes as well as the maximal packing fraction (MPF) and assembling inhibition ratio of platelet-rich plasma within 5 minutes were recorded with test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effect of treating Shaoyang disease nephelometry.④ Differences of measurement data were compared with tand methods of DW as well as RP on thrombogenesis in vitro and the function of PA.RESULTS: A total of 60 rats were involved in the analysis of results. ①The length, humid weight and dry weight of thrombogenesis in vitro in group Ⅲ and Ⅳ, positive control group and group Ⅱ were obviously lower than those in group Ⅰ (P ＜ 0.05). ② The PF in 1st, 5th minute and the maximal aggregathe normal control group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01); The humid weight and dry weight of thromb in group Ⅳ were significantly lower than those in tion (MA) of blood platelet in rats of each group were significantly lower than those in the normal control group (P ＜ 0.05-0.01), and the curative effect on rats in the positive control group, group Ⅲ and Ⅳ as well as group Ⅱ were better than that in group Ⅰ.CONCLUSION: There are no significant effects of dispersing thrombogenesis in vitro and inhibiting PA by only treating Shaoyang disease. The effect of combined prescription of DW and RP as well as treatment of Shaoyang disease are obviously enhanced.

Hepatitis B virus surface antigen with mutation on site 145 may cause omission in detection of hepatitis B virus with HBsAg diagnostic reagent. Monoclonal antibody against this mutation was obtained through hybridoma technique. The sub-class of the monoclonal antibody was determined to be IgG1(? type, the titer is 1∶9?104), and the monoclonal antibody has no cross-reaction to other hepatitis virus. The method of AC-ELISA which was established with monoclonal antibody and polyclonal antibody showed high analysing susceptibility for HBV mutant samples.

ObjectiveTo investigate the development of apoptosis during ischemia/reperfusion (IR) injury and acute rejection, and to explore the significance of apoptosis in the Graft Mesenteric Lymph Node (GALT) in a rat heterotopic small bowel transplant (SBT) model.MethodsSBT was performed in F344/N rats with either freshly harvested or preserved (4 h, in ringer lactate solution at 4 ℃) syngeneic and allogeneic (Wistar/A-F344/N) grafts. Bowel and GALT samples were collected 2 h after reperfusion and on small bowel transplant postoperative days (POD) 1, 4, and 7. Histopathology assessment of the graft and GALT were prepared for hematoxylin-eosin (H&E) staining. Apoptosis was detected by the TUNEL and the electron microscope. ResultsThe number of apoptotic cells 2 h after reperfusion increased profoundly in association with preservation. After a significant decrease on POD 1, the apoptotic cells rose again between POD 3 and 7 only in allogeneic grafts. On the other hand, the apoptotic cells in allogeneic GLAT markedly increased from POD 1 to day 3; at that time point, neither histological findings of rejection nor increase in apoptotic crypt cells were present in the graft jejunum. ConclusionIR injury and acute rejection may both induce extensive apoptosis. The graft jejunum distinct second increase in apoptosis may be an early and specific sign of acute rejection. Apoptosis of GLAT cells was well correlated with and ahead of progression of acute rejection.

Objective To discuss the difference of levels of serum and urinary iodine and thyroid function in painless thyroiditis patients and other thyroiditis patients.Methods The patients who were preliminary diagnosed as having higher level of serum thyroid hormone were divided into Graves' disease group,subacute thyroiditis group and painless thyroiditis group.Then all the patients were divided into another two groups according to the level of autoantibody.The value of serumal thyroid hormone and serumal iodine and urinary iodine were measured and the relationship between the groups and the value were observed.Results There was close relationship between serum T 3,T 4,urinary iodine and the types of thyrotoxicosis.Conclusion The morbidity of painless thyroiditis is not uncommon.Clinical situation,serumal iodine,urinary iodine and serumal thyroid hormone may be useful for clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis of painless thyroiditis.

Objective To study the molecular identification method of Sporothrix schenckii based on the nucleotide sequences in internal transcribed spacer region 2 of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) genes. Methods Species-specific primers were used to amplify the internal transcribed spacer region 2 of rDNA of 22 clinical isolates of Sporothrix schenckii and 12 strains of dematiaceous fungi. Totally 11 strains of Sporothrix schenckii were sequenced and analyzed, in which 1 strain came from the US and the others were isolated from different areas in China. A pair of species-specific oligonucleotide primers (SSP) were designed based on the ITS2 sequence. With the species-specific primers, rDNA of Sporothrix schenckii and dematiaceous fungi were amplified by PCR. Results Sequencing and analysis showed that internal transcribed spacer region 2 of rDNA gene was conservative in Sporothrix schenckii. A 300 bp fragment was obtained from 22 strains of Sporothrix schenckii, but not from the other species. Conclusions This method is specific, sensitive and reliable for the identification of Sporothrix schenckii and could be used for clinical molecular diagnosis.

Sodium phenylacetate can induce differentiation of tumor cells and has been approved as a drug for the treatment of adults with cancer. In order to explore the immunological mechanism of its antitumor effect, the influence of sodium phenylacetate on HLA class I and II molecule expression in various human tumor cell lines, including breast adenocarcinoma (MCF-7.MUA-453), gastrocarcinoma(MKN-28,MKN-45), ovarian cancer(3AO) and cervical cancer(Hela), was studied with ELISA. The result showed that HLA class II molecule was absent from the surface of MCF-7 cells, but they could be induced after 7 days of continued treatment with sodium phenylacetate. Sodium phenylacetate was found to increase HLA class I molecule expression on the surface of MCF-7 cells, HLA class 1 and II molecule expression on the surface of MDA-453、 MKN-28、 MKN-45、 Hela and 3AO cells. The effect of sodium phenylacetate on HLA class I molecule expression in tumor cells is dose-and time-dependent.

Objective To explore the application of hysteroscopy in assisted reproduction. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on results of routine hysteroscopy in 150 cases of infertile women scheduled for assisted reproduction.Results Among the 150 cases,abnormal hysteroscopic findings were identified in 47 cases(31%),including endometrial polyps in 18 cases(12%),endometrial hyperplasia in 17 cases(11%),uterine deformity in 7 cases(5%),uterine adhesion and stenosis in 3 cases(2%),endometrial tuberculosis in 1 case(0.7%),and submucous myoma or adenomyoma in 1 case(0.7%).To think of hysteroscopic findings as the standard,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predicted rate,negative predicted rate,and accuracy were 66%(31/47),98%(101/103),94%(31/33),86%(101/117),and 88%(132/150) for transvaginal ultrasonography,respectively,and were 26%(12/47),100%(95/95),100%(12/12),73%(95/130),and 75%(107/142) for uterophotography,respectively.Conclusions Hysteroscopy is a simple and reliable way to explore the uterine cavity.It may be selected as a routine examination before assisted reproduction.

Objective To explore the features of ostiomeatal complex under endoscopic observation,so as to provide reliable landmarks for a safe and perfect endoscopic sinus surgery.Methods Twelve heads from adult cadavers(8 males and 4 females) were split axially on midline with the nasal septum removed,and nasal endoscopic operation was performed for the observation of tristar of groove with professional surgical instruments on anterior ethmoid,frontal sinus and maxillory sinus.Results The tristar of groove was consisted of beak of the ethmoidal bulla and its prolonging process,apex of the uncinate process and anterior peak of the middle turbinate,at the region of frontal recess.The structures called meatal groove,uncinate groove and bullar groove were observed around the ethmoidal bulla and the tristar of groove located at their origination.Under endoscopic view these structures looked like a triangular clefts,so it was named.The cells of the meatal groove located anteromedially to the tristar,the cells of the uncinate groove were anterolateral and just inferoposterior to the meatal groove,those of the bullar groove superoposteriorly located to the cells of the uncinate groove.The ostia of these cells were constant and did not connect each other,their locations at the tristar of grooves were fixed relatively.Conclusion Tristar of grooves is a key area for endoscopic frontal sinusotomy.Due to the great structural variations,the constant landmarks,which can be seen under sinus endoscope,and the regular pattern of the nasal sinuses distribution are important and can guide the endoscopic sinus surgery.
