Objective To study and establish the HPLC fingerprint standard for the quality analysis and compare effects on the chemical composition of gallnut by ferment of Chinese gall leaven. Methods The fingerprint of Chinese gall leaven was built by Waters Symmmetry ShieldTM RP18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) C18 column, and acetonitrile-0.1% trifluoroacetic acid aqueous in gradient as mobile phase, the flow rate was 0.8 mL/min, and the detecting wavelength was set at 280 nm. The chemical fingerprint similarity of 10 batches of Chinese gall leaven was calculated with the Chromap Chromafinger 2005 beta 0.1 standard substance comparison and HPLC-MS were adopted to identify the common peaks. Results The fingerprint chromatography for the 10 batches of Chinese gall leaven included 10 common peaks, with a good separation at each peak. The relative retention time for common peaks of each batch was less than 1.0%, and the similarities among 10 samples were greater than 0.90. Gallic acid (peak 1), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC, peak 2), methyl gallate (peak 3), ethyl gallate (peak 5), epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG, peak 6), 2,4,6-tri-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose (peak 7), and 2,4,6-tri-O-galloyl-α-D-glucose (peak 9) were identified. The gallnut fermented made the content of gallic acid and 2,4,6-tri-O-galloyl-α-D-glucose increased and the contents of methyl gallate, ethyl gallate, and (-)-epigallocatechin gallate decreased. It was found that (-)-epigallocatechin and 2,4,6-tri-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose had formed in the process for the first time. Conclusion The processing mechanism of Chinese gall leaven is related to gallnut fermentation process change and create new chemical composition and fingerprint can be used to monitor the quality of fermentation processing of Chinese gall leaven.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of Qingyi Granule (QYG) on high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) expressions in liver and renal tissues of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) rats.

METHODSFifty-four Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were divided into the sham-operation (SO) group, the SAP group, and the QYG group according to random digits table. Rats in the SAP group were induced by injecting 5% sodium taurocholate (STC). Liver and renal pathological changes were observed by HE staining. Serum contents of amylase (AMS), MDA, IL-1, and HMGB1 were detected by ELISA. HMGB1 protein expressions in liver and renal tissues were tested by immunohistochemistry. HMGB1 mRNA expressions in liver and renal tissues were detected by reversed transcription PCR.

RESULTSThe pathological scores, serum levels of AMS, MDA, IL-1 and HMGB1, and protein and mRNA HMGB1 expressions in liver and renal tissues were increased more obviously in the SAP group than in the SO group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). All of them could be down-regulated by QYG intervention, with the most significant effect seen at 72 h (P < 0.05, P < 0.01) in a time-effect relationship.

CONCLUSIONSHMGB1 participated in SAP complicated liver and renal injuries. QYG could effectively inhibit HMGB1 expressions, thereby attenuating SAP complicated liver and renal injuries.

Objective To study the effects of nitrobenzene on macrophage function and lymphocyte proliferation in mice. Methods ICR mice were divided into groups and treated with nitrobenzene by gavage,once a day,at doses of 2,20 and 200 mg/kg respectively,for 21 consecutive days.The mice were killed after 21 days of treatment and then the effects of nitrobenzene on the organs index,the maerophage function and the lymphocyte proliferation were determined.Results The maerophage function and the lymphocyte proliferation decreased as the increase of the dose of nitrobenzene.Conclusion The results of the present paper show that nitrobenzene may inhibit the immunity function of mice.

Objective To explore the clinical safety and efficacy of self-made single-port retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection for chyluria. Methods From Feb 2013 to Mar 2016, clinical data of 34 patients were collected. Of them, 16 cases underwent self-made single-port retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection and 18 cases underwent three port retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection. No significant difference was shown in age, body mass index between the two groups (P > 0.05). Mean operative time, estimated bleeding volume, drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative pain evaluation, satisfaction scores of incision were compared between the two groups. Results All procedures were successfully performed without conversion to open surgery. Compared with the three port surgery group, results in the single-port group were superior in terms of mean operative time [(102.3 ± 16.1) versus (132.4 ± 21.6) min, P < 0.05], there were no significant differences in estimated blood loss, drainage time, postoperative hospital stay, the date in postoperative pain evaluation, satisfaction scores of incision shown that single-port group was superior to three port group. Conclusion Our initial experience revealed that single-port retroperitoneoscopic renal pedicle lymphatic disconnection was a safe, effective, cost-effective and less-invasive procedure for chyluria with improved postoperative pain and cosmetic results.

Purpose To assess left ventricular diastolic function in the patients with essentialhypertension. Methods 25 normotensives,93 hypertensiives without hypertrophy (NLVH) and 47 withhypertrophy (LVH)(LVMI, left ventricular mass index ＞ 124 g/m2 in males and 110 g/m2 in females)underwent 2DE and Doppler echocardiography. Results The ratio of early to late peak velocity (E/A)was 1.21 ± 0.24 in normotensives and 1.03 ± 0.23 in NLVH patients( P ＜ 0.01 ); reversed pulmonaryvenous flow at atrial systole PA wave was (32.7 ± 7.5 ) vs (38.9 ± 8.7) cm/s (P ＜ 0.01 ) in normotensivesand in NLVH patients respectively. The isovolumic relaxation time (IVRT) and left atrial dimension (LAD)have significant differences in three groups ( P ＜ 0. 05 - 0. 001 ). EF value was similar betweennormotensives and NLVH patients, but it was lower in LVH patients ( P ＜ 0.01 ). Conclusions E/Aratio, PA wawe, Pai, IVRT and LAD are sensitive parameters indicating mild diastolic left ventriculardysfunction. Systolic left ventricular function has no change in NLVH patients.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of 17beta-estradiol (E(2)) on electrical activity of the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) neurons in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with urethane (1.0 g/kg) and subjected to sino-aortic denervation. Blood pressure, heart rate and spontaneous discharge of RVLM neurons were recorded simultaneously. Intracarotid injection of E(2) (10 ng/kg) decreased the discharge rate from 14.46+/-0.47 to 9.73+/-0.33 spikes/s (P<0.001) in 25 out of 30 RVLM neurons, while blood pressure and heart rate showed no significant change. The inhibitory effect of E(2) on RVLM neuronal activity was rapid at the onset (within 1 min) and long-lasting (>5 min). Prior administration of antiestrogen tamoxifen (TAM) did not affect the effect of E(2). However, pretreatment with N( )-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, significantly attenuated the inhibitory effect of E(2). In addition, NO donor 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1) potentiated the effect of E(2). These results suggest that E(2) may inhibit spontaneous electrical activity of RVLM neurons, an effect which is mediated by the activation of NOS with the resultant of NO release via nongenomic actions.
