Corydalis amabilis Migo total alkaloid (COAMTA) given in vitro or in vivo caused an inhibition on ADP-induced blood platelet aggregation. In vitro, COAMTA 15.6, 31.3 & 62.5 ?g/ml PRP showed their inhibitory rates of 8.2, 32.0, & 36.8%. In vivo, at 10, 20, 40 min after iv COAMTA ( 0.6 mg/kg ) , the rates of inhibition were 40, 62.8, 24%.The thrombi formed in vitro were measured also. The results showed that COAMTA given in vitro or in vivo reduced the length and weight of thrombus, at same time, reduced rat platelet adhesion.A carotid-jugular extracorporeal shunt was made in the rats. A 6cm length of silk thread was placed in the shunt. 15 min after the restoration of blood flow in the shunt, the Wet weight of thrombus developed on the thread was measured.The thrombus weight was significantly reduced when COAMTA was given iv 0.3, & 0.6 mg/kg, im 0.9 mg/kg & po 1.5 mg/kg. The thrombus weight of control group was 26.1?0.7, but that of the medicated group was 8.9?1.7, 18.0?1.3, 16.4?0,6 a & 19.7?0.7 mg. The inhibitory rates were 66.1, 31.3, 37.2, & 28.4%.

Corydalis amabilis Migo total alkaloids (COAMTA) possessed antihypertensive and vaso-dilatative action in animal experiments. Its effects on the physiological properties in isolated guinea pig papillary muscles & atrium preparations were described in this papar.10mg/L COAMTA markedly prolonged the functional refractory period(FRP) and inhibited epinephrine induced automaticity. Suppression of normal & abnormal automaticity and prolongation of FRP may contribute to the effectiveness of COAMTA on arrhythmia.

Objective:To estimate the prevalence of antiretroviral drug resistance in treatment-naive in-dividuals with human immunodeficiency virus ( HIV ) in China. Methods: Five electronic databases [ Chinese BioMedical Literature Database ( CBM) , Chinese Journal Full-text Database ( CNKI) , Chinese Science-Technology Journal Database ( VIP) , Wanfang Data, and PubMed] were searched for studies of HIV drug resistance in untreated individuals. Drug resistance data were abstracted then pooled using the random effect model. Subgroup analysis was done across sampling time, location, study population ( mean age and infection status) , and sample size. Results: Seventy-six studies were included for our meta-analysis (46 in Chinese, 30 in English). The pooled rates of drug resistance to total, to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor ( NNRTI ) , to nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NRTI), and to protease inhibitor ( PI) were 4. 7% (95%CI:4. 0% -5. 4%), 2. 3% (95%CI:1. 8% -2. 8%), 1. 8% (95%CI:1. 3% -2. 3%), and 1. 4% (95%CI:1. 1% -1. 8%), respective-ly. All the rates before 2007 were higher than those for 2008 or later. Meanwhile, significant differences were found in the sample areas (P <0. 05), in which, the rates in South-central and Southwest were both higher than 5%. The difference was complex between mean age and infection status subgroup, and we found the total prevalence in the group under 25 years and the newly infected, and confirmed group was lower than in the others. For sample size, all the rates in the group under 100 samples were higher than in the others, and the difference was significant (P<0. 05). Conclusion: The prevalence of HIV primary drug resistance in China was 4. 7%, which stayed low, but was also close to the line set by WHO. Enhanced surveillance for drug resistance is necessary in high epidemic areas including the South-central and Southwest China whose prevalence has crossed the line.

Objective To investigate the features of clinical pathology,phenotye and differential diagnosis of thyroid follicular carcinoma-like renal tumor.Methods A 25-year-old female patient was hospitalized in February 28,2011 because of hypertension for 20 months.Physical examination revealed a right renal space-occupying lesions without percussion pain.Blood pressure was 200/130 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa).Thyroid,heart,lung,and abdominal examination showed no abnormalities.Blood,urine routine,biochemical examination,blood catecholamines,and thyroid function test results were normal.CT examination showed that a visible circular nodules with clear boundary was in the upper pole of the right kidney,and the maximum section about 2.2 cm × 3.0 cm withuneven density andrenal artery was pressed down.Clinical diagnosis was right renal tumor,and right renal tumor was removed under general anesthesia.Intraoperative tumor was located in the right renal hilumwithclear boundary,and the surrounding mild adhesions.Postoperative blood pressure wasnormal.Results General inspection of the specimen:a 2.5 cm diametermasswith intact capsule.The color of the section of the mass is gray red and gray.Multiple small cysts are seen in the section and the cysts contain jelly material.Microscope inspection:the tumor tissue is arranged like thyroid follicular and the follicular contains much acidophil colloid.Immunohistochemistry:the tumor cell is EMA (+),Vimtin (+),CK7 (+),CK20 (+),CD117 (-),TTF-1 (-),TG (-),CgA (-),Syn (-).Conclusions Thyroid follicular carcinoma-like renal tumors is a very rare kidney epithelial cell tumor,which is attributable to any known subtypes of renal cell carcinoma.To improve the understanding of it can avoid misdiagnosis and prevent inappropriate treatment.

Objetive To study the effect of Paeonol on PGI,TXA2,ET and NO in diabetic rats.Methods Streptozocin was used in dosage of 60 mg/kg on rats to make diabetic animal model.Defferent dosages of Paeonol were used on diabetic animal models.6-Keto-PGF1?,TXB2,ET and NO were tested after 30 days. Results Compared to the control group,6-Keto-PGF1?(pg/mL)of Paeonol groups increased from 89.75? 2.75,89.97?7.28,89.97?11.36 to 120.03?13.85,108.34?11.25,105.32?8.85 respectively;TXB2 (pg/mL)decreased from 157.64?10.36,156.64?11.35,153.33?19.40 to 124.46?18.67,136.40?18.15, 138.40?22.20 respectively;ET(pg/mL)decreased from 181.68?5.10,181.27?4.76,181.04?4.19 to 140.55?3.01,150.51?2.22,161.02?3.76.The change of 6-Keto-PGF1?,TXB2 and ET was related to the dosage of Paeonol.NO has no significant change.Conclusions Paeonol can decrease the ET and TXB2 in diabetic rats,and increase 6-Keto-PGF1?in diabetic rats.

Objective To construct the human osteoblast-like cell model with estrogen receptor α(ERα)subunit gene knocked down. Methods According to the computer-aided design(CAD),ERα-specific small interference RNA(siRNA)gene was synthesized and cloned into the expression vector pSilencer 4.1-CMV. The recombinant ERα siRNA plasmid was transfected into human osteoblast-like cell line MG63 by lipofectin,the cloned MG63 ceils were selected by hygromycin,and the cloned MG63 cell was cultured more than 20 passages after transfection.The expression of ERα mRNA in MG63 cells was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The expression and location of ERα protein were identified by immunocytochemistry.Compared with control groups,proliferation rate,growth cycle and expression did not show significant difference.Results The recombinant eukaryote plasmid vector was constructed.Furthermore,the recombinant plasmid knocked down ERα protein in human osteoblast-like cells. Conclusions The human osteoblast-like cell model with RNAi-knocked down ERα gene is constructed successfully.This model appears to be very useful for the future research on ERα biological characters and on molecular mechanism of bone metabolism.

Objective To review the clinical and laboratory features of tuberculous meningitis (TBM). Methods The clinical and laboratory data from 246 cases of TBM in Tuberculosis Treatment Center of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 1,1999 to December 31,2005 were collected and analyzed with SPSS 15.0 software. Results In 246 TBM patients,203(82.5%)was of basilar meningitis, 170(69. 1%)complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. Fever,nausea, vomiting and headache were common symptoms in TBM patients. PPD skin tests were positive in 155(63.0%)patients, but only 12(4.9%)were acid-fast bacillus smear-positive in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF test showed that the white blood cells[(320 - 880)× 106/L], protein(0. 95 - 13.8 g/L)were increased, while glucose(1.53 - 3.2 mmol/L)and chloride content(90 - 111 mmol/L)were decreased. Adenosine deaminase ≥8 U/L was observed in 230(93.5%)patients, and 185(75.2%)patients were tuberculosis antibody positive. Eighty-one(32. 9%)patients showed nodular or annular shadows in cranial CT. After comprehensive therapy, 242(98.4%)patients recovered or improved and no sequela was observed, while 4(1.6%)patients died. Conclusion Early diagnosis of TBM should be based on clinical manifestations, changes of cerebrospinal fluid, imaging examination and PPD test.
