OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of total glucosides of Verbena officinalis on chronic nonbacterial prostatitis (CNP)in mice and its anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. METHODS:60 mice were randomized into normal group(normal saline),model group(normal saline),positive group(Qianliekang tablet 1.5 g/kg)and total glucosides of V. officinalis high-dose, medium-dose and low-dose groups(0.2,0.1,0.05 g/kg),with 10 mice in each group. CNP model was induced in those groups ex-cept for normal group;mice were given relevant medicine once a day for consecutive 21 days since 8th day of modeling. The white blood cell count,lecithin corpuscle density and pathological changes of prostate samples were observed. 50 mice were randomly di-vided into model group(normal saline),positive group(Aspirin tablet 0.3 g/kg or Dexamethasone acetate tablet 0.01 g/kg)and to-tal glucosides of V. officinalis high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups(0.2,0.1,0.05 g/kg);they were given relevant medi-cine intragastrically once a day for consecutive 7 days. The xylene-induced ear swelling test (Aspirin tablet as positive drug) and cotton-pellet granuloma test (Dexamethasone acetate tablet as positive drug) were conducted to determine the the degree of ear swelling and the net weight of granuloma. The acetic acid writhing test and hot plate test(Aspirin tablet as positive drug)were car-ried out to determine the latency period of writhing,the times of writhing within 20 min and pain threshold. RESULTS:Compared with model group,white blood cells count of prostate tissue were lowered while the density of lecithin corpuscles were increased significantly in medicine groups;the pathology of prostate tissue were improved significantly in positive group and total glucosides of V. officinalis high-dose and medium-dose groups,and mostly were 0 and Ⅰ grade. The degree of ear swelling and the net weight of granuloma were markedly reduced in positive group and total glucosides of V. officinalis high-dose and medium-dose groups;the times of writhing within 20 min decreased in medicine groups,and the latency period of writhing prolonged and pain threshold in-creased in positive group and total glucosides of V. officinalis high-dose group. All of the results showed statistical difference(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Total glucosides of V. officinalis can improve CNP in mice,and shows good anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects.

Objective To compare the degree of inflammatory response and changes in pulmonary function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with or without cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) Methods Elective CABG was performed in twenty-two patients with CPB (n = 11) or off-pump (n = 11). The patients were premedicated with oral midazolam 7.5 mg and intramuscular morphine 10 mg. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 5-10 ?g?kg-1 , midazolam 0.05 mg?kg-1 , etomidate 0.15 mg?kg-1 and rocuronium 0.6 mg?kg-1 and maintained with intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyl and rocuronium. All patients had pulmonary artery catheter and arterial line placed. ECG, SpO2, PET CO2 , body temperature and urine output were monitored. In CPB group aprotinin was given. The patients were transferred to ICU after operation and mechanically ventilated. Extubation was performed when standard extubation criteria were met. The length of ICU stay and hospitalization were recorded. CI, PVRI, SVRI, PA-aO2 , PaO2/FiO2 and QS/QT were measured and calculated before and at the end of operation and 4, 12, 24, 36 h after operation. Blood samples were taken from radial artery and pulmonary artery (mixed venous blood) before and at the end of operation and 4, 12, 36 h after operation for determination of plasma levels of IL-6, IL-8 and neutrophil elastance, the numbers of WBC and neutrophil, the numbers of WBC and neutrophil segregated in the lungs (the number of WBC/neutrophil in mixed venous blood - the number of WBC/neutrophil in arterial blood) .Results The two groups were comparable with respect to age, sex, duration of anesthesia and surgery and the number of grafts. CI was significantly increased while SVRI significantly decreased after operation as compared to the baseline values before operation. There was no significant difference in CI and SVRI after operation between the two groups. The postoperative PVRI and PA-a O2 were significantly lower while postoperative PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher in the off-pump group than in the CPB group ( P
