AIM: To establish a method of determing prim-o-glucasylcimifugin,5-o-methylvisammiosode,gardenoside quantitatively in Huoxiang Gingwei Granules(Herba Pogostemonis,Fructus Gardeniae,Radix Saposhnikoviae,etc.). METHODS: Three components were determined by HPLC in the same chromatographic condition(Column: Shimadzu VP-ODS 250 mm?4.60 mm,5 ?m;mobile phase: acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid gradient elution;flow rate: 1.0 mL/min: column temperature: at 30 ℃). RESULTS: Prim-o-glucasylcimifugin showed a good linear relationship at the range of 26.0-390 ng,r=(0.999 9),the average recovery was 101.7% and RSD was 1.1%.5-o-methylvisammiosode showed a good linear relationship at the range of 21.5-322.2 ng,r=(0.999 9),the average recovery was 101.9% and RSD was 1.1%.Gardenoside showed a good linear relationship at the range of 47.1-706.5 ng,r=(0.999 9),the average recovery was 101.6% and RSD was 1.1%.(CONCLUSION):() The established method can provide the content determination of 3 ingriedents at the same test condition and be used for the quality control of Huoxiang Qingwei Granules.

Objective To evaluate MRI in diagnosis and follow-up of Achilles tendon rupture. Methods From April 2003 to May 2005, 24 cases of closed Achilles tendon rupture were examined in our department with MRI. It was performed through sagittal T1WI, T2WI, GE-STIR and axial TME imaging. Four cases were followed up with MRI after 4 to 8 weeks. Results MRI could determinate the severity and exact location of Achilles tendon rupture by demonstrating signal changes of Achilles tendon. In this series, complete rupture of Achilles tendon mostly occurred at the median part, with augmentation and high signal on T2WI. MRI demonstrated high signal on T2WI in partial rupture of Achilles tendon. The signal intensity in the four cases followed up by MRI was shown to decrease. Conclusion MRI is a valuable tool for clinical diagnosis and follow-up of Achilles tendon, because it provides enough information through signal changes at the tendon.

Medical imaging teaching depends on support from multimedia database which is constructed with image information provided by PACS/HIS ( Picture archiving and communication system/Hospital information system ).This paper evaluated construction,administration and application of the multimedia database,and illustrated the importance of PACS/HIS in construction of the database,as well as of the database in medical imaging teaching.

Objective To investigate the relation between polymorphism of NOS3 G894T and susceptibility of cancer .Methods Literatures under the inclusion and exclusion criteria about relation between polymorphism of NOS 3 G894T and susceptibility of cancer were collected by computer -based retrieval and manual retrieval .The pools ORs with 95% CI were calculated to assess the association strength between polymorphism of NOS 3 G894T and cancer risk by Meta methods .Sensitivity and publication bias were evaluated .Results 19 literatures with 7679 cases of cancer and 8180 cases as control group were included .The pooled result indica-ted that no significant association between its polymorphism and cancer (ORT versus G=1 .030 ,95% CI=0 .964 -1 .101 ;ORTT versus GG=1 .056 ,95% CI=0 .895-1 .245 ;ORTG versus GG=1 .045 ,95% CI=0 .977-1 .119 ;ORTT/TG versus GG=1 .047 , 95% CI=0 .981-1 .117 ;ORTT versus TG/GG=1 .005 ,95% CI=0 .900-1 .123) .No significant association was observed in sub-group analysis based on ethnicity ,cancer type ,and source of control group .Conclusion There was no relationship between NOS3 G894T polymorphism and cancer susceptibility .

AIM: To study the protective effect and mechanism of panax notoginseng saponinsa(PNS) for dealing with rats with middle cerebral artery ischemia reperfusion(CI/RP). METHODS: To establish the rat middle cerebral artery ischemia/reperfusion model with suture occlusion technique and record the neurologic impairment evaluation score on the basis of Zea Longa method,measured the infarct volume,and the others were detected neuron apoptosis by TUNEL technology and endogenous brain-derived neurotropic factor(BDNF) expression by immunohistochemistry technology. RESULTS: The administration of PNS to rat decreased neurologic impairment,reduced infarct volume,inhibited the neuron apoptosis,and increased endogenous BDNF expression after 24 hours CI/RP. CONCLUSION: Increasing endogenous BDNF expression after CI/RP might be the mechanisms of PNS for achieving neuroprotections.

AIM To study toxicity of Safflor Yellew (SY) for vascular endothelic cell (VEC) and whether SY has antagonistic effect on platelet activating factor (PAF). METHODS Use light microscopical observation and crystal violet colorimetric method to study morphological and bioactivity change of HVEC and EVC 304 after incubated with PAF, SY, SY+PAF, Ginkolide,and Ginkolide+PAF. RESULTS Cultured with PAF 30 minutes, HVEC had histopathological changes: from fusiform, polygond squamous cell to ellipsoid, circular cell , not binding tightly, but separated by wide gap. As cultured with SY+PAF, cell's morphological changes just as same as PAF's group. And its bioactivity had tendency of decline. Either HVEC was incubated with SY (0.571 g?L -1 ) for 30 minutes or EVC 304 cultured with SY(1 143 g?L -1 ) for 4 hours, their morphology and bioactivity had changes. CONCLUSION SY do not inhibit PAF's injury effect. And high concentration SY has toxicity to cultured endothelic cell.

Objective To explore the effects of galactooligosaccharide on the intestinal flora in premature rats.Methods Premature Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into GOS group and control group.Premature rats in GOS group were feeding with GOS according 4 g/kg by dropper for 14 d.At 7 d and 14 d after feeding,the mental state and weight of rats were observed and recorded,the fresh feces in terminal rectum were collected to culture and count the number of colonies of bifidobacteria,lactobacillus,enterobacteria and enterococcus.Results Rats in GOS and the control group were normal growth during the administration period,mental state was not abnormal.Compared with the same time point of the control group,there was no significant difference in weight gain between the GOS group(P＞0.05).After feeding GOS for 7 d,there was no statistically significant difference between the number of colonies of bifidobacteria,lactobacillus,enterobacteri.a and enterococcus (P＞0.05).After feeding GOS for 14 d,the number of colonies of bifidobacteria and lactobacillus increased significantly(P＜0.05),while the number of enterobacteria and enterococcus decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Galactooligosaccharide could promote the proliferation of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus,inhibit the growth and reproduction of enterobacteria and enterococcus,so regulate the balance of intestinal flora.
