OBJECTIVE:To establish an RP-HPLC method for the determination of Berberine hydrochloride in Keyang-min tincture.METHODS:The sample separation was performed on Agilent Eclipse XDB C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m),and the mobile phase was acetonitrile-5 mmol?L-1 perfluorooctane sulfonate(32∶68) at flow rate of 1 mL?min-1.The detection wavelength was 346 nm and the temperature of column was 35 ℃.RESULTS:The linear range of Berberine hydrochloride was 0.059 2～0.888 3 ?g(r=0.999 9).The average recovery rate was 99.71%(RSD=1.18%,n=6).CONCLUSION:The met-hod is sensitive,accurate,and reproducible,and suitable for the determination of Berberine hydrochloride in Keyangmin tincture.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Hordeum vulgare on hormone level in male mice.METHODS:Male mature mice(5～6 months) were treated with Hordeum vulgare decoction 1 mL(equivalent to 0.5 g?mL-1 crude drug) bid for 14 consecutive days.Follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH),luteinizing hormone(LH),estradiol(E2) and testosterone(T) in blood were monitored.RESULTS:In Hordeum vulgare group compared normal control,serum E2 increased significantly,serum level of testosterone decreased significantly,while FSH and LH levels remained stable.CONCLUSION:Hordeum vulgare can influence the hormone level in male mice by influencing the gonad axis of the mice.

0.05); the effective rates in rest pain in the two groups were 41.25% and 57.97%,respectively(P

Objective In order to explore the effective dosage of insulin and its correlated elements in sulphonylureas failure in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods 61 cases of type 2 diabetics were separated into two groups,one group (group 1) is the first time using insulin and the other group (group 2) is in the use of insulin in the past.Results The effective insulin dosage of group 2 is significantly higher than that of group 1 (36.2?10.6 IU/d vs 30.1?10.5IU/d, P

This paper analyzes the reform backgrounds, mechanisms and measures of financing and payment taken in the second-generation national health insurance (NHI) in Taiwan. The results indicate that in 2nd NHI, the rate was adjusted more flexibly, supplementary insurance premium was charged to enlarge the financial source by im-plicating additional subsidies and expanding the sources of financing, multiple payment methods and auxiliary assis-tive means were used to control the growth of medical expenses, social insurance payments are specified in terms of category or clear payment projects and standards, new health technology assessments are used as new basis for deci-sion making, etc. by greatly alleviating the financial deficit, which helped achieve the financial balance again. Many features of the 2nd NHI in Taiwan, especially like its diversified financial resources and financing methods, global budget of control fees and DRGs payment systems, making evaluation criteria for medical quality control and health insurance reimbursement project development and so on, are worth learning for the mainland China.

Objective To observe the effect of Maiya on the hormone level of the female mice. Methods Female mature mice (5 ～ 6 months) were ovariectomized and treated with Maiya. Follicular stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2) and progesterone (P) in blood were examinated. Results Maiya could increase the FSH and E2 in blood, and decrease P in blood of the castrated mice, while the level of LH had no obvious change. Conclusion Maiya can influence the level of hormone.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestation,imaging features and treatment of primary lacri-mal gland epithelial tumor.Methods The clinical data of 25 cases with primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors were retrospectively studied.Results All of 25 primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumor cases received surgical treatment. Fourteen primary orbital tumors cases were male and 11 cases were female.The mean age was 44 years old (ranged 23 to 65).The mean hospital stay was 12d(ranged 7 to 20).Among 25 primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumor cases, 11 cases were benign tumors which included 4 inflammatory pseudotumor,11 pleomorphic adenoma.Fourteen cases were malignant tumors which included 4 malignant pleomorphic adenoma,6 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 4 adenocar-cinoma.After opeation,visual acuity improved in 9 cases,unchanged 10 cases,decreased 6 cases.The patients were followed up for 16 -48 months(mean 27 months).There were 4 malignant tumors recurrence after operation and received radical operation.While 2 patients were lost and 2 patients died of tumor metastasis,the other 21 patients survived with tumor -free.Conclusion Primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors have different clinical and imaging appearances.Combination of ultrasound,CT and MRI is important to ascertain the character,range and degree of primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors.Surgical excision is the main and effective treatment for primary lacrimal gland epithelial tumors,while gamma knife treatment is safe and effective for malignant,unresectable,recurrences tumors.

OBJECTIVE To study the staphylococcus infection and the drug resistance among the outpetients and the inpatients, and to provide information for the clinical treatment.METHODS To cultivate and isolate bacteria according to the Clinical Laboratory Operation Regulation.Bacteria were identified with the automated analyzer VITEK-60.made by Bio-Merieux Company in France.The drug susceptibility was one with the method of single split agar diffusion.RESULTS Totally 159 strains of Staphylococcus were isolated from the outpatients,(46.1%) of which were MRSA.Most of the infection were caused through genital tract;390 strains of(Staphylococcus) were(isolated) from the inpatients,87.1% of which were MRSA.Most of the infection were caused through respiratory tract.Most of MSSA resisted to penicillin,but MRSA were sensitive to vancomycin and(teicoplanin.) (CONCLUSIONS) Preventing the spread of the MRSA is very important to the control of the nosocomial(infection).As far as the infective situation,most of the outpatients are infected through genital tract;while most of the inpatients are infected through respiratory tract.As far as the drug susceptibility,vancomycin is the best antibiotics,the next is teicoplanin.It is necessary to use combined drugs for the MRSA infection.

Objective: To probe into the relationship between changes of sex hormone levels and TCM syndrome differentiation in climacteric women.Methods: According to TCM syndrome differentiation,55 cases of women in menopause were divided into three groups: kidney yang deficiency,kidney yin deficiency and the normal;the correlation between the three types and E2,FSH and LH was explored by statistical methods,and then they were compared with procreative women.Results: In all the 55 cases,kidney yin deficiency covered 70.90%,kidney yang deficiency covered 16.36%,the normal covered 12.72%;changes of E2 correlated positively with symptom scores of kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency;changes of FSH and LH correlate negatively with that of kidney yang deficiency and kidney yin deficiency.And they all correlated closely with menopause.Conclusion: the main syndrome type of climacteric women was kidney yin deficiency;E2↓,FSH↑ and LH↑ was expression of physiological kidney deficiency of climacteric women.
