Objective To establish a HPLC method for determination of benzylacetone in the rhododendron.Methods The HPLC analysis was carried out on Luna C18(250 mm×4.6 mm,5 μm) at 30℃temperature.The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water (64 ∶ 36),the flow rate was 1 ml/min,and the detection wavelength was 220 nm.Results The linear range of benzylacetone was 17.08～170.8 μg/ml (R=0.9998),the average recovery of this method was 99.81％,and the RSD was 1.46％.Conclusion The method is convenient,quickly and accurate,can be used for the quality control of rhododendron oil and their preparations.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of quadriceps femoris fasciculation induced by lowcurrent nerve stimulation when used to assist ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block.Methods One hundred patients of both sexes,aged 18-45 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,weighing 50-85 kg,scheduled for elective unilateral knee arthroscopy,were selected and randomly divided into 2 groups (n =50 each) using a random number table:ultrasound assisted by nerve stimulator group (group SU) and ultrasound group (group U).The shamrock method was used to perform the ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block in two groups.In group SU,the nerve stimulator with current 0.35 mA and frequency 1 Hz was used in the process of puncture,and 0.5％ ropivacaine 0.4 ml/kg was administrated when quadriceps femoris fasciculation was induced.In group U,when the tip of the nerve stimulating needle was located around the lumbar plexus,which was confirmed by ultrasound,0.5％ ropivacaine 0.4 ml/kg was administrated.The time of puncture,depth of needle insertion,onset time of block and effective block were recorded.Motor block was assessed using the modified knee score,and the development of complications was recorded within 24 h after block.Results Compared with group U,the onset time of block was significantly shortened,the rate of effective block was increased,the degree of motor block was aggravated (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the time of puncture or depth of needle insertion in group SU (P＞0.05).No complications were observed in two groups.Conclusion Low-current (0.35 mA) nerve stimulation-induced quadriceps femoris fasciculation when used to assist location can improve the efficacy of ultrasound-guided lumbar plexus block.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the mechanism that the formulas for activating blood and resolving stasis can regulate hemopoietic stem cell to produce new blood.

METHODRats were established animal model of acute cerebral infarction by referencing Olivette' method. They were randomly divided into model group, the group of the high, middle, low dose of the formulas for activating blood and resolving stasis. Each group and then wasrandomly divided into subgroups by 1, 3, 7, 14, 28 d. Xuesaitong capsule was formulated into 20, 40, 60 g x L(-1) with normal saline. The rats were given gavage drugs once a day until the experient ended, and the model group was administrated by intragastrical perfusion of normal saline. ELISA was used to detect the expression of SCF in peripheral blood and bone marrow among different groups at different time points. Flow cytometry was used to observe the changes of CD117 in blood and bone marrow.

RESULTThe CD117+ HSC and SCF concentration in peripheral blood and bone marrow of model group were increasing during 1-14 d,there was a peak on the 14th day, then the expression was reducing. CD117+ HSC and SCF concentration rising trend in the group of the high, middle dose of the formulas for activating blood and resolving stasis was preceded model group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONActivating blood and resolving stasis can regulate hemopoietic stem cell to produce new blood, and it is through the regulation of CD117+ HSC number to achieve the purpose.

Objective CXCR4-overexpressing bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (CXCR4-BMSC) were constructed and co-cultured with hypoxia/re-oxygenation pretreated renal tubular epithelial cells (HR-RTEC).Repair of HR-RTEC was detected and the possible mechanism was also discussed.Methods CXCR4-BMSC (CXCR4-BMSC/eGFP,eGFP as the tracer gene) and null-BMSC (BMSC/eGFP) were obtained by gene transfection technique,and the level of CXCR4 in the transfected cells was detected.RTEC was cultured under hypoxia/re-oxygenation condition for 12 h,respectively,to obtain HR-RTEC,which was used to simulate AKI in vitro.BMSC and HR-RTEC were co-cultured for 12 h,and the proportion of apoptotic cells among the HR-RTEC was assayed by immunofluorescence technique.Western blot was used to test the protein levels of cleaved Caspase-3 and Bcl-2.The number of migrating BMSC was also assayed.After culturing with the HR-RTEC culture supernatant,the expression of cytokeratin 18 (CK18) in BMSC was tested by immunofluorescence staining.Cytokines including bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7),hepatic growth factor (HGF) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the BMSC culture supernatant were detected by ELISA method.Results Expression of CXCR4 was enhanced in CXCR4-BMSC.Proportions of the apoptotic cells among HR-RTEC after being co-cultured with BMSC,CXCR4-BMSC and null-BMSC were all decreased,especially in the C/H group.The decreased cleaved Caspase-3 and enhanced Bcl-2 were also observed in HR-RTEC.The number of migrating CXCR4-BMSC was the highest.Proportions of CK18+ cells in BMSC,CXCR4-BMSC and null-BMSC were all low and showed no difference.However,CXCR4 overexpression in BMSC stimulated secretions of BMP-7,HGF and IL-10.Conclusions CXCR4-overexpressing BMSC has more repair effect on the co-cultured HR-RTEC,the enhanced migration ability and secretion ability of CXCR4-BMSC are the possible mechanisms.

In the cultural construction of independent institute,there exist the contradiction between tradition and innovation,cultural conflicts between private enterprises and the university.Therefore,adhering to the people-centered concept,coordinating tradition and innovation,merging the advantages of university culture and private enterprises culture into a whole,cultivating the unique spiritual culture,harmonious system culture and unified material culture of independent institute,forming the distinctive “Institute Culture” with its own cultural tradition will provide reference for the theory and practice to enrich and improve the connotative development of independent institute.
