Objective To determine the reversal effect of psoralen on multidrug resistance (MDR) in the harringtonine (HT)-resistant leukemic cell line HL60/HT. Method The modulating effect of psoralen on MDR in HL60 and HL60/HT cells were determined by the measurement of cell growth and viability via MTT assay. High performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was used to analyze intracellular HT concentrations in HL60/HT and HL60 cells treated with psoralen. Result Psoralen from 1 to 20 μmol/L could reduce the value of IC50 to HT and enhance the accumulation of HT in HL60/HT cells. Conclusion Psoralen can reverse MDR of HL60/HT cells and is a potential modulator of MDR.

AIM:To do cluster analysis on the herb active ingredients with reversal activity of multi-drug resistance in HL60/HT cells.METHODS:HL60/HT cell was used to check the inhibitory effect of Psoralen,psoralen-A,curcumin,quercetin,psoralidin,isopsoralidin,psoralen phenol,Rhein on cell proliferation by MTT assay.Flow cytometry was used to measure HL fluorescence index and the expression of P-glucose protein.On the basis of the experimental data,herbs were classified as different groups by cluster analysis.RESULTS:Reversion rate,HT concentration and P-gp expression of HL60/HT fell within the range of 6.2 to 12.5,9.6 to 25.6,and 29.3 to 50.1,respectively.CONCLUSION:According to cluster similarity,8 herbal ingredients could be divided into three groups,psoralen,curcumin and quercetin were in the first group.Psoralen-A,psoralidin,isopsoralidin and rhein were in the second group,psoralen phenol was in the third group.

Objective To research the reversal effects of psoralen on multidrug resistant action and its influence on intracellular Ca2+ concentration in MCF-7/ADR cells and to explore its possible mechanisms of reversing multidrug resistance (MDR). Methods The inhibitory effects of psoralen on the viability of MCF-7/ADR cells were determined with MTT assay, intracellular adriamycin (ADR) concentration was assayed with HPLC and the intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in different incubative duration were detected with confocal microscope. Results Psoralen from 1 to 20 μmol/L reduced the value of IC50 of ADR in MCF-7/ADR cells, enhanced accumulation of ADR and influenced Ca2+ concentration with a negative correlation in different duration (24 h, 48 h and 96 h). Conclusion Psoralen can reverse MDR in MCF-7/ADR cells and its mechanism may be related to the increase of the intracellular accumulation of ADR by enhancing the intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Objective:To study the better extraction method for Qidan decoction.Method:Orthogonal design was used to find befitting conditions.The water quantity,extraction time and frequency were selected as observational conditions.The optimum conditions were repeated three times to study repetition.Results:The optimum extracting procedure is 14 times water, extracting 3 times,the time was 30 min each time.The active ingredient content RSD of three parallel trial is 0.86%.Conclusion: The optimal condition for ultrasonic extraction is 14 times water,extracting 3 times,30 min per time.This method is of good repeatability.

AIM:To study the rationality and the best dosage of Qidan Decoction (Radix Astragali,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae miltiorrhizae,Fructus Psoraleae,etc.) on inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis. METHODS:The ability of inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis and the activity of NK cell were detected as indexes to appraise the rational and the best dosage. RESULTS:The function of Astragalus membranaceus,Salvia miltiorrhiza.Ege.,psoralea corylifolia and Lycium Barbarum on inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis and rising the activity of NK cell was significant(P

Objective To analyze the massive explosions and burn at Tianjin Port in 2015 resulted in a mass casualty event,and the entire course of response of a hospital to deal with such major sudden accident in order to find a rational strategy for optimal use of medical resources and reduce the critical mortality.Methods This study was done by a retrospective analysis of data from one trauma center at an academic hospital.Data including outcome,triage,severity and pattern of injuries,patient flow,and medical resources used were obtained by the review of hospital records.Results This disaster caused 165 deaths,8 missing contact,and 797 non-fatal casualties.The Pingjin Hospital admitted 298 casualties,and 29 of them were seriously injured referred to by Tianjin Emergency Medical Center.Excessive triage rate made after transfer to another hospital was 62.07% with 11 of the 29 severely injured patients.Maximum (also the first)surge had 147 injured patients arrived around one hour after incident,the second surge had 31 seriously injured patients occurred around 4 hours after incident.Of them,17 patients needed surgery and 17 patients were admitted to the intensive care unit.Conclusions These data showed that the number of casualties in the first surge was substantially larger than predicted and those casualties had less severe trauma,whereas the number of the injured in the second surge was less but the trauma was more severe.In order to maintain the hospital surge capacity,an effective re-triage and a hospital-wide damage control principle can be used to deal with.
