The cerebral ischemia was produced by Pulsinellis method in Sparaque-Dawley rats. The brain edema and survival rate of rats with bilateral carotid and vertebral arteries occlusion for 60 min were observed in ip tetradrine at doses of 1 ~ 4 mg/kg groups and control rats.Superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde in brain tissue were also measured by pyrogallol method and fluorescence spec-trometry. The results suggested that tetradrine have protective effect on cerebral ischemia, which was related to the inhibition of lipoxide and scavenging of oxygen free radical.

Currently, as an important raw material of Chinese traditional patent medicines, Paridis Rhizome is in great demand, which led to its price increases. In order to protect the wild resources and satisfy market demand of Paridis rhizome, the researches in various directions were conducted, involved its chemical composition, pharmacological action, clinical application, resource investigation, artificial cultivation, etc. Herein, the chemical studies of genus Paridis Rhizome, aerial parts of Paridis Rhizome gummy and starchy Paridis Rhizome, and the studies of endophyte in Paridis Rhizome were reviewed and analyzed in order to explore the substitutes of Paridis Rhizome, and provide the reference for the enlargement of medicinal resources of Paridis Rhizome. It manifests that the steroidal saponins, the important chemical compositions in Paridis Rhizome were tested in genus Paridis Rhizome, aerial parts of Paridis Rhizome, gummy Paridis Rhizome and the endophyte in Paridis Rhizome. However, the further experimental studies and clinical verification works should be carried out to confirm the final substitute.

The market and literature were studied to understand the existing situation of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex goods, and the collected samples were analyzed, combined with the actual production, a new standard of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex commercial specification and grade was drafted. Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex goods was divided into two categories according to the source in the old standard. Then each category was divided into four kinds of specifications according to the site. Each kind of specification was divided into several grades according to the length and weight. To judge the quality of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex goods was mainly based on the appearance quality. In the new standard, the classification of commercial specification and grade is based on the thickness, magnolol and honokiol content. The goods of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex can be divided into three specifications: Tongpu, Genpu and Doupu. Tongpu is divided into three grades, the remaining two are not graded.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of systemic sclerosis( SSc)patients with pulmonary hypertension(PAH)ane its treatment approach ane prognosis. Methods The clinical information of 16 SSc patients with PAH(PAH group)were recoreee. Seventy-four SSc without PAH were servee as no-PAH group. Patients in PAH group were given the basic therapy inclueing oxygen therapy,anticoagulants,careiac, eiuretic,anti-rheumatic,pulmonary vasoeilator therapy. Results The rate of antinuclear antiboey in PAH ane non-PAH group were 87. 5%(14 / 16)ane 75. 7%(56 / 74),ane the eifference was statistically significant(P= 0. 508). Serum albumin,erythrocyte seeimentation rate at 1 h in PAH group were(32. 6 ± 4. 6)g/ L ane (48. 4 ± 29. 4)mm/ 1 h. The rate of acral lesion proteinuria,hematuria,ECG abnormal rate were 62. 5%(10 / 16),62. 5%(10 / 16),43. 8%(7 / 16),62. 5%(10 / 16)respectively in PAH group. Serum albumin, erythrocyte seeimentation rate at 1 h in PAH group were(35. 6 ± 5. 0)g/ L ane(31. 3 ± 26. 3)mm/ 1 h in non-PAH group. The rate of acral lesions,proteinuria,hematuria,ECG abnormal rate were 31. 1%(23 / 74),27. 0%(20 / 74),12. 2%(9 / 74),9. 5%( 7 / 74 ) respectively in non-PAH group. The eifferences were significant between in terms of all above ineices(P = 0. 033,0. 041,0. 018,0. 006,0. 003,0. 000). During follow-up,the eisease was in stable in 74 case of non-PAH. Among 16 case with PAH,1 mile case was lost,1 case with severe PAH eiee of severe pneumonia,pulmonary hypertension,right ventricular failure,respiratory failure,3 mile patient with PAH were with eevelopment of primary eisease ane the rest 11 cases of PAH patients were with lower interstitial lung eisease than that of the previous eetectee by chest HRCT. Oppler echocareiography measurement of pulmonary artery systolic pressure was(48. 9 ± 2. 4)mmHg before treatment ane then reeucee to(31. 5 ± 4. 5)mmHg in rest 11 cases(t = 22. 27;P = 0. 001)measuree by Doppler echocareiography. Careiac function was improvee euring followee up ane no other aeverse reactions were seen. Conclusion SSc patients merge multiple PAH show it associate with other organ eamage,ane has a poor prognosis. Early careiac Doppler ultrasoune shoule be performee in oreer to get early eiagnosis ane treatment. Treatment approaches shoule be targetee at the primary eisease ane incentives such as pulmonary besiee oxygen therapy,eiuretics,careiac ane anticoagulant erugs in oreer to improve prognosis.

Objective To obtain the antigen and antibody of JC virus(JCV)VP2.Methods The JCV VP2 gene were amplified from a cerebrospinal fluid sample by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)and confirmed by sequencing.Then,the gene was cloned into plasmid pET32a(+)to construct recombinant prokaryotic expression vector pET-32a(+)-VP2.The recombinant plasmid was transformed into the competent E.coli BL21.Induced with isopropyl-β-D-1-1 thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG),E.coli BL21 were subsequently crushed by ultrasound.The gene expression in the supernatant was analyzed by Western blot.Thereafter,the expressed protein was purified by isoeleetric point method.The polyclonal antibody against JCV VP2 protein was obtained from the BALB/c mouse immunized with the purified protein.Results The VP2 fusion protein was expressed in the E.coli BL21.The recombinant fusion protein was expressed by IPTG induetion with relative molecular mass of 58.5×10~3.Sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis(SDSPAGE)analysis showed that the expression level was highter after 6-10 h of IPTG induction.The recombinant protein had good antigenicity which was confirmed by BALB/c mice immunized with the protein.Conclusions The successful expression and purification of VP2 fusion protein and the antibody will be valuable for the study on the biological function of VP2 and JCV epidemiologieal investigation.

Objective To explore the diagnosis, treatment strategies and clinical outcomes of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage in elderly patients. Methods A total of 68 patients aged over 60 years presenting with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage underwent cerebral angiography. And 72 intracranial aneurysms were detected in 60 patients, among whom 47 patients with 59 aneurysms underwent endovascular coil embolization, 6 aneurysms in 6 patients were clipped in microneurosurgery operation, and 7 patients chose conservative treatment. Results A total of 57 aneurysms (96.6%) were embolized successfully, among which 40 aneurysms (70.2%) reached dense occlusion and 17 aneurysms (29.8%) reached incomplete occlusion. Among 47 patients undergoing endovascular treatment, 39 patients (83.0%) were evaluated as good, 7 patients (14.9%) were moderately to seriously disabled according to Glasgow Outcome Scale when they were discharged, and one patient died. Conclusions Active treatment such as endovascular coil embolization can acquire good outcome in elderly patients with spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage, especially in elderly patients detected with aneurysms.
