OBJECTIVE:To screen Gongshisong's active sites for anti-sports fatigue. METHODS:Gongshisong extract was prepared with 80% ethanol extraction technology,and extracted with petroleum ether,chloroform,ethyl acetate and n-butyl alco-hol after dispersed with water to obtain the extract. 70 mice were randomly divided into blank control group(1% sodium carboxy-methylcellulose,CMC-Na),positive control group [Rhodiola wallichiana capsules,590 mg/(kg·d)],petroleum ether,chloro-form,ethyl acetate and n-butyl alcohol extracts and aqueous layer of Gongshisong groups(TS,TL,TY,TZ,TW groups). Gong-shisong extracts groups was given relevant medicine 2.5 g(crude drug)/(kg·d),ig,for consecutive 7 days. Exhaustion time of bur-den swimming test was detected. 70 mice were grouped according to above method,and the contents of liver glycogen,muscle gly-cogen and the coefficient of liver were tested in mice. 80 mice were grouped according to above method,and model group was es-tablished additionally(1% CMC-Na). The contents of lactic acid(LA),creatine kinase(CK)and urea nitrogen(BUN)in serum of mice were determined after 90 minutes of unburden swimming. RESULTS:Compared with blank control group,exhaustion time of burden swimming mice in TS,TY and TZ groups prolonged;the content of liver glycogen increased in TY,TZ and TW groups;the content of muscle glycogen increased in TS and TW groups;the contents of BUN,LA and CK in mice increased in model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,the serum content of BUN in mice decreased in TS and TY groups;that of LA in mice decreased in TZ and TW groups;that of CK in mice decreased in TS group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The petroleum ether and n-butanol extract site and water layer of Gongshisong are good anti-fatigue active sites.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral prednisone acetate and oral prednisone acetate combined with local injection of triamcinolone acetonide for the prevention of esophageal stricture after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) for early esophageal cancer and precancerous lesions.Methods:Data of 52 patients with early esophageal cancer or precancerous lesions hospitalized from December 2014 to February 2019 in Zhongda Hospital of Southeast University were analyzed retrospectively. They were divided into the control group (group A, n=20), oral hormone group (group B, n=17) and oral medication combined with local injection group (group C, n=15). The rates of stenosis and refractory stenosis, endoscopic dilatation times after ESD, time interval of first dilation after ESD and adverse events related to the operation and administration of glucocorticoids were compared among the three groups. Results:The differences in stenosis rates [85.0% (17/20) VS 47.1% (8/17) VS 46.7% (7/15), P<0.01], rates of refractory stenosis [75.0% (15/20) VS 23.5% (4/17) VS 20.0% (3/15), P<0.01], and endoscopic dilatation times [3.50 (2.25, 6.00) VS 0.00 (0.00, 2.50) VS 0.00 (0.00, 2.00), P<0.01] were statistically significant among the three groups. In pairwise comparison, the above indicators in group B and group C were significantly lower or less than those in group A ( P<0.05), but there were no statistical differences between group B and group C ( P>0.05). The time intervals of the first dilation after ESD were significantly different among the three groups (27.7±9.4 d VS 110.1±46.0 d VS 147.4±9.4 d, P<0.01). In pairwise comparison, the first dilation intervals in group B and group C were longer than that in group A ( P<0.01), and this indicator in group C was longer than that in group B ( P<0.01). Two patients in the control group developed perforation after ESD but they were treated actively and recovered finally. No severe ESD, steroid, or perforation related adverse events occurred in any other patient of the three groups. Conclusion:Both oral prednisone and oral prednisone combined with local injection of triamcinolone acetonide after ESD can effectively and safely prevent esophageal stricture after ESD. Oral administration combined with local injection of corticosteroids can prolong the time interval of the first dilation after ESD, which is beneficial to the psychological recovery and the improvement of patients’ life quality after the operation.

Objective To observe the effects of rosuvastatin on the homocysteine (Hcy)-induced expression of matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP 2) and cell migration in rat vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), and to explore the possible mechanism of Hcy-induced atherosclerosis and the role of statins in reversing atherosclerosis. Methods In one cell culture plate, the cultured rat VSMCs were incubated with different concentrations of Hcy (0, 50, 100, 500, 1000 μmol/L and 5000 μmol/L) in vitro for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. And in another cell culture plate, the different concentrations of rosuvastatin (10-9, 10-8, 10-7, 10-6, 10-5 mol/L and 0 mol/L) were added to the cultured rat VSMCs (while the concentration of Hcy was 1000 μmol/L). The MMP 2 expression and enzyme activity were determined by gelatin zymography and Western blotting. The effects of Hcy and rosuvastatin on cell migration and invasiveness of VSMCs were observed. Results Hcy (50-5000 μmol/L) increased the protein expression, and Hcy (50-1000 μmol/L) increased enzyme activity of MMP 2 significantly. But Hcy (5000 μmol/L) inhibited activity of MMP 2 (F=9.31, 6.44 and 5.97, all P<0.05). Rosuvastatin (10-9-10-5 mol/L) inhibited Hcy-induced expression and enzyme activity increasing of MMP 2. The counts of cell migration of VSMCs were 18.32±2.17, 32.68±4.34, 44.75±4.08, 61.39±5.21, 79.74±5.54 and 90.78±5.83, while the concentration of Hcy was 0, 50, 100, 500, 1000 μmol/L and 5000 μmol/L respectively (F=5.31, P<0.05). The counts of cell migration of VSMCs were 79.74±5.54, 62.53±6.41, 48.37±5.66, 31.41±4.79, 19.27±3.62 and 11.17±2.33, while the concentration of rosuvastatin was 10-9, 10-8, 10-7, 10-6 and 10-5 mol/L respectively (F=4.99, P<0.05). Rosuvastatin could decrease the stimulation of Hcy-induced migration of VSMCs. Conclusions Hcy can influence the MMP 2 protein expression/activity in VSMCs, and rosuvastatin can inhibit augmentation of Hcy-induced MMP 2 expression/activity and migration of VSMCs. It may be one of the multiple-effects of rosuvastatin reducing atherosclerosis.

Microwaves can be directly transformed into heat inside materials because of their ability of penetrating into any substance. The degree that materials are heated depends on their dielectric properties. Materials with high dielectric loss are more easily to reach a resonant state by microwaves field, then microwaves can be absorbed efficiently. Microwave irradiation technique with the unique heating mechanisms could induce drug-polymer interaction and change the properties of dissolution. Many benefits such as improving product quality, increasing energy efficiency and reducing times can be obtained by microwaves. This paper summarized characteristics of the microwave irradiation technique, new preparation techniques and formulation process in pharmaceutical industry by microwave irradiation technology. The microwave technology provides a new clue for heating and drying in the field of pharmaceutics.
