Objective To observe the changes of chief chemical components(hypaconitine,ephedrine,pseudoephedrine,peoniflorin,glycyrrhetic acid) in the combinations of different-dose herbs of Wutou Decoction(WD). Methods Uniform design method was adopted to design the experiments,and HPLC was applied to determine the contents of chief chemical components of hypaconitine,ephedrine,pseudoephedrine,peoniflorin,glycyrrhetic acid. DPS V7.55 was used to carry out the nonlinear regression analysis of experimental data such as decocting rates of the chief chemical components. The mathematical model was established to analyze the experimental results. Finally,with the decocting rates of the chief chemical components as the optimizing indexes,the combination of optimal-dose herbs of WD was seeked. Results There existed an interaction between each herb of WD,and each herbs as well as the interaction between the herbs had a certain effects on the decocting rate of the chemical components. In particular,the interaction of prepared Radix Aconiti and prepared Radix Glycyrrhizae had obvious effects on the decocting rates of hypaconitine and glycyrrhetic acid. On the basis of the different optimization index,different combinations of optimal-dose herbs of WD can be obtained. Conclusion Through the method of nonlinear regression analysis,rich connotation of compatibility in Chinese herbal formula can be obtained.The optimization of optimal-dose herbs combination of the formula should be based on the pharmacological actions.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic and therapeutic methods of small intestinal hemorrhage.Method Clinical data of forty-nine cases of small intestinal hemorrhage were analyzed retrospectively.Results Small intestinal tumors were found in 21 cases (42.9%),among wtich,most were benign;infectious diseases in 12(24.5%);diverticula's in 8(16.3%);and vascular malformations in 6(12.2%).Radionuclide scanning was positive in 10 out of 13 cases (76.9%).Angiography was performed in 12,7 of them were abnormal (58.3%).Small bowel series made diagnosis in 25% of 36 cases.Postoperative bleeding was found in 5 cases and short bowel syndrome in 1 case.Conclusions Tumors are the most common cause of small bowel bleeding,and acute hemorrhagic nercotizing enteritis and typhoid often cause small bowel massive bleeding.Radionuclide scanning is one of the most useful diagnostic methods for diverticula's.Angiography is a valuable procedure in diagnosis of vascular lesions and malignants.Small bowel series is also helpful in diagnosis of solid lesions and diverticula's. Exploratory surgery coupled with intraoperative endoscopy can be helpful in diagnosis of small bowel bleeding.

【Objective】To observe the effect of Ma Xing Shi Gan Decoction(MXSGD)on metabolism of oxygen free radicals in mice with bronchial asthma.【Methods】Forty BALB/c mice were randomized into 4 groups:normal group,model group,low-dose MXSGD group(20?g?kg~(-1)?d~(-1))and high-dose MXSGD group (80?g?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)).Except the normal group,the mice in other 3 groups received sensitization by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin(OVA)and challenge by inhalation of OVA to induce bronchial asthma.Meanwhile,MXSGD groups were given the corresponding doses according to the experimental design by gastric gavage,and normal group and model group received the same volume of normal saline for 27 days.Twelve-four hours after last challenge,blood sample was taken and homogenate of lung tissue was prepared for the detection of superoxide dismutase(SOD),malondialdehyde(MDA)and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)contents in the plasma and the lung tissue.【Results】High-and low-dose MXSGD increased SOD and GSH-Px contents and decrease MDA content in the lung tissue and plasma(P

Efforts on directed evolution of sortase A to optimize its catalytic properties have been undertaken and shown the promise. To facilitate screening of sortase A mutants with expected catalytic properties, a novel ligation efficiency monitoring system, including reporter substrates GFP-LPETG and GGGYK-Biotin, was developed. GFP-LPETG, wild type sortase A, and a recently reported high activity sortase A mutant were prepared recombinantly from Escherichia coli BL21 (DE3). Taking advantage of the newly designed reporter system, the ligation efficiency catalyzed by wild type and mutant form of sortase A could be sensitively monitored via SDS-PAGE directly. Consistent with previous report, the mutant sortase A displayed much higher catalytic activity compared to wild type enzyme, indicating the new reporter system is easily and fast handled and sensitive. The application of this reporter system into systemic screening will facilitate future directed optimization of sortase A.

Objective To investigate the level of soluble interleukin 7 receptor (sIL-7R) in serum of lupus nephritis(LN)patients and evaluate its clinical significance. Methods sIL-7R level in serum of LN patients and healthy controls were measured by ELISA , while total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 of LN patients were measured by BN ProSpec. The level of sIL-7R correlation with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein and complement C3 were analyzed respectively. Results The levelof sIL-7R was higher in serum of LN patients than healthy controls (P < 0.01). Moreover, its expression in serum was increased in LN patients in active stage than in LN patients in stable stage (P < 0.05). The level of sIL-7R was positively assosicated with SLEDAI, total 24 hours urinary protein(P < 0.01, P < 0.05) and negatively with complement C3 (P < 0.05). Conclusion The level of sIL-7R is upregulated in serum in LN patients and correlated with disease activity and progression, so it may be expected to become a potential marker of disease in prediction.

A revolving drum, about 40cm in diameter, with vertical stripes on its surface, was used in examination. The drum was held 50cm in front of the eyes of aircrew receiving examination. The horizontal optokinetic nystagmus was elicited by vertical black stripes moving horizontally. The examinee was instructed to gaze straight ahead at the black stripes, without deliberate fixation. The drum speed was kept constant at 20?, 40?,60?,80?,100?,120?/s. The velocity of the slow component of nystagmus, its frequency, amplitude and symmetry were recorded when the reaction reached its peak.The slow component velocity and the frequency were increased with the drum speed, but the amplitude was decreased with the drum speed. The wave forms of optokinetic nystagmus were usually of five types.
