Objective To study the chemical constituents and structures of the glycosaminogly-cans isolated from the leftover bits of the Chlamys farreri and Argopecten irradisus. Methods The qualitative and quantitative analyses of monosaccharides obtained by alcoholyses with HCl-methylalcohol from the samples were done by gas chromatography with standard contrast and inner standard methods. Mixed with KBr and pressed into pellet, the samples were analyzed by infrared spectrometer scanning from 4000-500 cm-1. Results The contents of monosaccharides from the samples were rhamnose 0. 75%, xylose 0. 63%, fucose 0. 67%, mannose 0. 97%, glucose 1. 11% and galactose 1. 59%, respectively. The infrared spectrum showed that the samples had typical infrared spectra of glycosaminoglycan. Conclusions The glycosaminoglycan isolated from the leftover bits of the Chlamys farreri contains neutral monosaccharides. Compared with standard glycosaminoglycans, the infrared spectra of the two samples are similar to that of hyaluronic acid.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy and safety of lactulose combined with Bacillus subtilis bifarous via-ble bacteria in the treatment of functional constipation(FC). METHODS:In a randomized double blind controlled study,60 FC pa-tients were randomly assigned into treatment group(28 cases)and control group(32 cases). Both groups received lactulose orally. Treatment group additionally receive B. subtilis bifarous viable bacteria,and control group additionally received placebo continually. 2 weeks later,both groups stopped taking lactulose but continued to take adjunctive drug till 4th week. The defecate frequencies, stool property,constipation symptoms,quality of life and ADR were compared between 2 groups before treatrnent and 2nd,4th week cofter treatment. RESULTS:In the second week ,the defecate frequencies,stool property and constipation symptoms of both groups were significantly improved,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Compared with the control group in the fourth week, these constipation symptoms of treatment group were improved more significantly,with statistical significance (P<0.05). In the fourth week,aspects of quality of life in both groups were significantly improved,with statistical significance(P<0.05);physical discomfort scores,satisfaction scores and total scores of treatment group were improved significantly,compared with the control group,there was statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no severe ADR in both groups. CONCLUSIONS:Lactulose com-bined with B. subtilis bifarous viable bacteria can effectively relieve FC,improve abdominal symptoms and slow the recurrence of constipation,which is safe and reliable.
