This paper reported study on iontophrcsis of decoction of Carthamus tinctorius L. with rectified sin-electric current (current intensity 23 mA). The flavonoid of C. tinetorius was taken fer test index. The mouse skin was used as the analogue membrane. The drug amount of transdermal was determined by the TLC scanner.The results indicated that the effect of drug transdermal absorption was impreved by the experimental method of iontopheresis. The drug a mount of transdermal absorption increased with time prolong.

AIM To develop a RP-HPLC method for the simultaneous content determination of five constituents in wild Gastrodia elata Blume,G.elata Bl.form.glauca S.Chow,G.elata Bl.form.elata and G.elata Bl.form.flavida S.Chow from seven growing areas (Zhaotong and Lijiang in Yunan,Lu'an in Anhui,Hanzhong in Shannxi,Dejiang in Guizhou,Guangyuan in Sichuan,and Yichang in Hubei).METHODS The analysis of Gastrodiae Rhizoma 70％ methanol extract was performed on a 35 ℃ thermostatic Waters Sunfire C18 column (4.6 mm ×250 mm,5 μm),with the mobile phase comprising of methanol-0.1％ formic acid flowing at 1.0 mL/min in a gradient elution manner,and the detection wavelength was set at 270 nm.RESULTS Adenosine,gastrodin,4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol,4-hydroxybenzaldehyde and parishin A showed good linear relationships within their own ranges (r≥0.999 5),whose average recoveries were 99.34％-101.33％ with the RSDs of 1.85％-3.28％.Their contents were the highest in G.elata Bl.form.glauca S.Chow cultivated in Zhaotong (collected in 2013),Lu'an (collected in 2013),Yichang (collected in 2013),Zhaotong (collected in 2014) and Yichang (collected in 2013),respectively,and the total content was the highest in G.elata Bl.form.glauca S.Chow cultivated in Yichang (collected in 2013).CONCLUSION This accurate,sensitive and reliable method can be used for the quality control of Gastrodiae Rhizoma.

This article was aimed to study the chemical constituents of the petroleum ether fraction of Liparis nervosa.Chemicalcompoundswereisolatedandpurifiedthroughvariouschromatographytechniques.The accurate structures of chemical compounds were confirmed with spectral data and literatures. The results showed that7chemicalconstituentswereisolatedfromthepetroleumetherfractionofLiparis nervosa,whichwere moscatin (1), batatasin Ⅲ (2), bergapten (3), isoimpinellin (4), xanthotoxin (5), imperatorin (6) and β-sitosterol (7). It was concluded that chemical constituents 3-7 were isolated from this genus for the first time. And chemical constituents 1-7 were isolated from this plant for the first time.

According to 45 hemagglutinin (HA) gene sequences of H7 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV), a pair of specific oligonucleotide primers was designed. We developed one step RT-PCR for detecting AIV subtype H7. Sensitivity to detection of allantoic fluid by one step RT-PCR reached 10(5.5) EID50/mL and detection of swab samples reached 10(3) EID50/mL. We simultaneity detected the tissue and swab samples infected with H7 subtypes AIV by one step RT-PCR and virus isolation method. The results showed that the sensitivity of the assay gave an excellent correlation with the conventional virus isolation method. H1-H15 subtypes of avian influenza and other avian diseases were detected by the one step RT-PCR. The results showed the assays were high specific, without cross-reaction with other subtypes or other avian diseases. Development of one step RT-PCR will provide effective technical support for the rapid diagnosis and surveillance of molecular epidemiology of AIV subtype H7.

Objective:To quantify any correlation between the severity of spinal curvature of an adolescent with idiopathic scoliosis and their cardiopulmonary exercise endurance.Methods:The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) results and the full-length spinal X-rays in a standing position of 64 adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis were reviewed retrospectively. Independent t-tests were used to compare the two datasets obtained from those with left or right thoracic scoliosis. The correlation between the Cobb angle and cardiopulmonary exercise endurance was analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficients, multiple factor linear regression and two-stage linear regression.Results:After adjusting for gender, age, height and weight, the multiple linear regression analysis showed that the Cobb angle was significantly negatively correlated with maximum tidal volume (β=-0.013) and significantly positively correlated with the rate of respiration (β=0.421). The relationship between the Cobb angle and cardiopulmonary exercise endurance was non-linear. With a Cobb angle > 34°, a 1° increase reduces cardiopulmonary exercise endurance by a factor of 1.4 on average. At smaller Cobb angles the corresponding increase is about 0.87 times.Conclusions:The Cobb angle is a negative predictor of ventilation during exercise among adolescents with idiopathic scoliosis. The more severe a patient′s spinal curvature, the lower the cardiopulmonary exercise endurance is likely to be.

【Objective】 We combined the concept of traditional medicine with magnetic induction technology, originally brought up the research concept of magnetic hyperthermia to cure KOA, explored the mechanism and constructed a new treatment of KOA with modern medical features. 【Methods】 Through establishing a primary KOA model in rats and constructing ferrimagnetic vortex domain iron oxide nanorings (FVIOs) as a platform for highly efficient magnetic hyperthermia agent, the lesions of KOA were heated accurately under the low-intensity magnetic field. We confirmed the curative effect through the results of pain perception, histopathology, knee joint morphology and microscopic bone structure and the content of serum inflammatory factor, to study the therapeutic mechanism of magnetic hyperthermia for KOA. 【Results】 Compared with the model group, the recovery of mechanical pain threshold after magnetic hyperthermia improved by approximately 48.9%; the degree of hyperemia and edema of joint capsule and synovial tissue and the wear degree of joint cartilage surface, were significantly reduced; the Mankin and OARSI scores decreased by about 33% and 20%, respectively; the MicroCT results indicated that the degree of hardening of the subchondral bone also improved; the expression of inflammatory factors in the serum was reduced. 【Conclusion】 In this study, we utilized the FVIOs as a high-efficiency magnetic hyperthermia platform for the treatment of KOA. The efficacy of magnetic hyperthermia on KOA is clarified, and the mechanism is related to the inhibition of inflammatory factors.
