Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(01):-
AIM: To establish HPLC fingerprint chromatogram of leaves of Hawthorn and to evaluate the constituents and to provide the basis for identification. METHODS: Leaves of Hawthorn come from 10 production places were analysed to gain its contents,such as Vitexin,Hyperoside,2″-O-Rhamnosylvitexin,Rutin,4-O-Rhamnosylrutin,Chlorogenic acid,Quercetin 3-O-?-glucoside,4-O-Glucosylvitexiu,and internal reference selected Chlorogenic acid. RESULTS: The different leaves of Hawthorn showed different HPLC chromatogram. CONCLUSION: HPLC chromatogram can be used to distinguish the leaves of different species of Hawthorn and the content of the main characteristic components are various as production places vary.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between enhanced CT examination and acute kidney injury in patients with acute pancreatitis.MethodsThe clinical data of 162 acute pancreatitis patients were analyzed retrospectively.Acute kidney injury was diagnosed and graded by RIFLE criterion.The patients were divided into two groups according to enhanced CT examination:enhanced CT group and non-enhanced CT group.ResultsEnhanced CT group had 85 cases,and non-enhanced CT group had 77 cases.The increased creatinine level in enhanced CT group was higher than that in non-enhanced CT group [(59 ± 13 ) μ mol/L vs.(38 ± 11 ) μ mol/L],and there was significant difference between two groups (P <0.01 ).The incidence of acute kidney injury in enhanced CT group was higher than that in non-enhanced CT group [30.6% (26/85) vs.15.6% (12/77)],and there was significant difference between two groups (P <0.01 ).Enhanced CT examination increased the risk of acute kidney injury occurrence (OR =1.293,95% CI1.089-1.443).After adjusted by diabetes and APACHE Ⅱ score,enhanced CT examination was still anindependent risk factor of acute kidney injury (OR =1.282,95% CI 1.185-1.377 ).ConclusionsEnhanced CT examination is a potential risk factor of acute kidney injury in acute pancreatitis patients.The time of enhanced CT examination is worthy of further study.

AIM: To develop a simple HPLC for the determination of ursolic acid in Hawthorn leaves, and to compare ursolic acid content in Hawthorn leaves of different species, locations and growth stages, so as to supply some evidences for the exploitation and utilization of Hawthorn leaves reasonably. METHODS: By high-performance liquid chromatography method. Lichrospher C18 column (250 ×4.6 mm I. D. 5 μm); mobile phase, acetonitrile-water-orthophosphoric acid (85: 14.95: 0.05) with a flow-rate of 1.00 ml/min; column temperature at 30 ℃; injection volume, 5μl; UV detector at 210 nm. RESULTS: The detection limit (S/N=3) was less than 4. 024 μg/ml and the limit of quantification( S/N =10) was less than 12.05 μg/ml. The calibration curve showed good linear regression(r =0. 9999) within measurement ranges( 16.09 - 1030 μg/ml). The intra-day and interday variation were 0.71% and 6. 15%, respectively. The recoveries at low to high concentration were 89%-105%. Under these conditions, the ursolic acid content in different Hawthorn leaves were determined: 1.90%-1.95% in C. scabrifolia (Franch.) Rehd, 1.00%-1.45% in C. cuneata Sieb. & Zucc, 0.45%-0.65% in C.pinnatifida Bge. var. major N. E. Br.; In differnet growth stages of C. pinnatifida Bge. var. major N. E. Br. , the young leaves contain higher content of ursolic acid. CONCLUSION: The method is successfully applied to quantify ursolic acid in Hawthorn leaves. And the ursolic acid contents in Hawthorn leaves of differnent species are very different; C. scabrifolia (Franch.) Rehd contains the highest ursolic acid content in them. However, there is a little difference among different locations and growth stages for same species.

Objective To explore impact of nursing intervention on the adverse reaction of patient con-trol epidural analgesia (PCEA) after abdominal operation. Methods 258 patients underwent PCEA after ab-dominal operation were selected from 2006 to 2007. The clinical data of 126 patients without nursing interven-tion were analyzed as the control group admitted to our hospital from January to December, 2006 and compared with those of 132 patients receiving nursing intervention as the experimental group from January to December, 2007. The control group was managed by the anesthetists and nurses only conducted routine nursing instruction, while the experimental group was given systematic and normative nursing intervention besides routine nursing instructions, including psychological intervention, behavioral intervention, close observation, of discovery of ad-verse reaction in time and giving early disposal. The incidence of adverse reaction of PCEA of the two groups such as urinary retention, nausea and vomiting, abdominal distension, skin indentation, catheter shedding, skin itching, numbness of lower limbs, respiratory depression was observed. Results Compared with the control group,the incidence of adverse reactions of PCEA in the experimental group such as urinary retention,nansea and vomiting, abdominal distension,skin indentation,catheter shedding was significantly lower. Conclusions The implementation of nursing intervention can reduce the adverse reaction of PCEA after abdominal operation, alle-viate the suffering of patients, and promote functional recovery and the body rehabilitation.

AIM: To determine the ultimate preservation time of murine cardiac grafts in 4℃ Ringer's solution. METHODS: Murine cardiac grafts were implanted to the abdominal vessels heterotopically 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 hours after cold preservation. Graft survival rate and histological morphological changes, as well as the neutrilphil, T cell, macrophage infiltration, ICAM expression were determined by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: The cardiac function-recovery rate and 1-week graft survival rate were 100% and 83.3% in 6-hour preservation group. Compared with non-preservation control group, no more apparent histological damages, cell infiltration and ICAM expression were found. CONCLUSION: The ultimate preservation time of murine cardiac graft in 4℃ Ringer's solution was 6 hours. [

Aim To investigate the mechanism of achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides on degranulation of mast cells. Methods The experiment of passive cutaneous anaphylaxis was used to determine the effect of achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides on degranulation of mast cells in vivo. For in vitro study, various doses of achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides were added to the culture medium of sensitized RBL-2H3 cells. The antigen-induced release of degranulation was measured by enzymatic assay, histamine by EIA and cytokines by ELISA. In addition, the activation of Akt and p38 were measured by Western blot. Results Treatment with achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides was followed by a decrease in PCA of rats and ?-hexosaminidase, histamine, TNF-?,IL-4,Akt and p38 of RBL-2H3 cells induced by antigen. Conclusions Achyranthes bidentata polysaccharides might suppress the anaphylactic reaction through inhibition of action of mast cells. Akt and p38 contributed at least in part to this event.
