Objective: To establish a quantitative method for determination of protocatechuic acid in Xueniao Capsules. Methods: The capsules were extracted with alcohol acetic acid (10∶1) and then solved with absolute alcohol. The sample was applied on a silica H plate, developed and separated in the solution of chloroform acetone methanol acetic acid (7∶2∶1.5∶0.5). The separated spots were determined by TLC scanning at 530nm(? s). Results: The average recovery was 101.4%. Conclusion: This method for determination of protocatechuic acid in Xueniao Capsules was sensitive, accurate and specific. It could be used as quality control for Xueniao Capsules.

The hypo-morality,also known as sub-morality,is an imperfect morality compared with the social mainstream morality.By introducing some "hypo-morality" phenomena in the current physician-patient relationship and analyzing from the two aspects including the diversity of interests main bodies and the market operational mode of healthcare institutions,this paper assures the rationality of the existence of hypo-morality in physician-patient relationship,and attempts to provide feasible suggestions for a reasonable direction of hypo-morality in physician-patient relationship.

The contrast of technical force between hospital and society is astonishing in the maintenance & service of large-scale medical equipment.When the maintenance & service plan must be chosen to socialized service,all the plans must be seriously compared and evaluated according to the current situation of the equipments in hospital for an economical and suitable selection.A right selection is necessary in promoting maintenance and management of large-scale medical equipment,keeping good operation of equipment,prolonging service life,and creating better economic and social benefits.

Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), a potent chemotactic and mitogenic factor, is involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis and platelet production. Our studies demonstrate the presence of functional PDGF receptors (PDGFR) on human megakaryocytes/platelets and CD34(+) cells, and their ability to mediate a mitogenic response. PDGF promotes the ex vivo expansion of human hematopoietic stem (CD34(+)) and progenitor (CD41(+)) cells. More significantly, PDGF enhances the engraftment of human CD45(+) cells and their myeloid subsets (CD33(+), CD14(+) cells) in NOD/SCID mice. PDGF also stimulates in vitro megakaryocytopoiesis via PDGFR and/or the indirect effect on bone marrow microenvironment to produce TPO and other cytokines. It also shows a direct stimulatory effect of PDGF on c-Fos, GATA-1 and NF-E2 expressions in megakaryocytes. We speculate that these transcription factors may be involved in the signal transduction of PDGF on the regulation of megakaryocytopoiesis. PDGF also enhances platelet recovery in mouse model with radiation-induced thrombocytopenia. This radioprotective effect is likely to be mediated via PDGFR with subsequent activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. It provides a possible explanation that blockage of PDGFR may reduce thrombopoiesis and play a role in imatinib mesylate-induced thrombocytopenia.

Objective To study the efficacy of thyroidal arterial embolization in treating hyperthyroidism by using different embolizing materials and the relationship between recurrence rate and the numbers of embolized arteries. Methods 56 cases with hyperthyroidism were divided into group A (25 cases) and group B (31 cases). Patients of group A had their thyroidal arteries embolized with gelfoam particles and stainless coils after arterial infusion of a total dosage of 24 mg of blemycin. Patients of group B had their thyroidal arteries occluded with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) particles. The effectiveness and general complications of arterial embolization for these two groups were compared and the relationship between recurrence rate of hyperthyroidism after treatment and numbers of embolized thyroidal arteries was studied. Results It showed effectiveness in all patients within 2 3 months. The follow up records showed, the recurrence rate of hyperthyroidism was 28% and 16.1% for group A and group B respectively but without statistical difference. The recurrence rates were 46.7% for those patients with 2 thyroid arteries embolized and 12.2% for those with 3 4 arteries embolized, showing significant difference ( ? 2=7.751, P

Intracanal antisepsis acts as one of the fundamental steps in root canal therapy. Intracanal medication is very common among the multitudinous root canal disinfection methods so far. However, as the most frequently-used intracanal medication, calcium hydroxide exists some problems, such as insufficient antimicrobial power and antibiogram. Thus exploring new root canal disinfectant is necessary. Herbal medicine is gaining favor for its wide varieties, broad efficacy and affordable prices. The current researches revealed that many kinds of herbs or compound herbal preparations possess good ability of antimicrobial and other properties that superior to those of traditional root canal disinfectants. However, herbal medicine itself and the studies have shortcomings. This paper will provide a review of various herbal alternatives that are being studied of late years.

Objective To observe the characteristics of electrocardiographic parameters of the right heart in the early newborns with different gestational age.Methods Seventy-five cases of early newborns from January 2014 to January 2015 were selected.They were divided into 4 groups according to gestational age,15 cases in group A (28-30 weeks),18 cases in group B (＞30-33 weeks),17 cases in group C (＞33-37 weeks) and 25 cases in group D (＞ 37-40 weeks).All newborns were examined by the synchronous 12-lead ECG machine,and the changes in ECG time limit detection results,QRS amplitude and RV1 amplitude were compared among groups.Results (1) There was a significant difference in P-R intervals among group A [(0.090 ± 0.011) s],group B [(0.095 ± 0.012) s],group C [(0.098 ± 0.013) s] and group D [(0.105 ± 0.014) s] (F =7.458,P ＜ 0.05).The P-R intervals of group A,group B and group C were much shorter than those of group D (P ＜ 0.05);the comparison of QRS duration and QTc among groups had no statistical significance (F =1.626,1.569,all P ＞ 0.05).(2) In group A:QRS amplitude was:(4.430 ± 1.380) mV,RV1 amplitude:(0.850 ± 0.420) mV;in group B:QRS amplitude was:(4.800 ± 1.350) mV,RV1 amplitude:(1.012 ± 0.425) mV;in group C:QRS amplitude was:(5.200 ± 1.600) mV,RV1 amplitude:(1.210 ± 0.520) mV;in group D:QRS amplitude was:(5.800 ± 1.800) mV,RV1 amplitude:(1.509 ± 0.525) mV.There were significant differences in QRS and RV1 amplitude among 4 groups (F =7.002,16.870,all P ＜ 0.05).The QRS amplitude changes in group A and group C were far less than those in group D (P ＜ 0.05),the RV1 amplitude changes in group A,group B,and group C were far less than those in group D (P ＜ 0.05),and there was no difference between among other groups (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions There are correlations between the electrocardiographic parameters of right heart and the gestational age of newborn infants.These parameters,including the P-R intervals,the amplitude of QRS and RV1,increase with the gestational age.
