Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of traditional Chinese mental intervention in treating post-apoplexy depressive disorder and its effects on recovery of activities of daily living(ADL).Methods 64 cases of post-apoplexy depressive disorder patients of light or moderate degree(evaluated by HAMD scale)were randomly separated into an experiment group and a control group.On the basis of identical basic clinical treatments,the experiment group was treated with traditional Chinese mental intervention,and the results were evaluated by HAMD scale and ADL scale at the 40th,the 70th and the 100th day.Results There were no differences in marks of the two scale between the experiment group and the control group at the beginning(P＞0.05).At the 40th day,the HAMD scale mark was 13.04±4.86 in the experiment group and 17.92±5.82 in the control group,showing significant differences(P＜0.05)between the two groups.At the same time,the ADL scale mark was 61.85±11.73 in the experiment group and 53.02±10.54 in the control group,showing significant differences between the two groups too(P＜0.05).At the 70th day and 100th day,the differences became much more notable(P＜0.01).Conclusion Traditional Chinese mental intervention was effective in promoting the motor function and activities of daily living and relieving the depress disorder for post-apoplexy depressive disorder.Post-apoplexy depress disorder patients should be treated with Chinese traditional mental intervention as soon as possible.

We observed the effects of 10-hydroxy-decenoic acid ( 10-HDA ) extracted from royal jelly on the immune function of mice. It was showed that after ig or ip administration of 10-HDA, the phagocytosis of mouse peritoneal macrophages to cock red blood cells was inhibited. Although the count of lymphocytes in mouse peripheral blood was not changed after administration of 10-HDA, the in vivo lymphocyte tran- sformation of mice induced by PHA was significantly enhanced. It was also showed in our experiment that after 7d administration of 10-HDA, the content of vitamin C in adrenal glands of mice was significantly increased ( same as after ACTH administration ) . The results of our experiments indicated that 10-HDA has the inhibiting effect on immune function of mice and this effect may be related to enhancing adrenal cortex function.

With high-performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC ) we have determined the content of Vit C in adrenal glands of mice at different adrenocortical function. The results indicated that the content of Vit C in mice adrenal glands was increased when the adrenocortical function was enhanced with ACTH and Vit C content was decreased when dexamethason was administered. The resultes also indicated that by HPLC-E C the VitC content in mice adrenal glands could be exactly determined.

ObjectiveTo evaluate th effect and safety of tolterodine on detrusor hyperreflexia of patients with spinal cord injury.Methods20 cases of spinal cord injury patients with detrusor hyperreflexia were treated with tolterodine (2mg, twice daily), and the data of urodynamics and voiding diary before and after treatment were evaluated.ResultsAfter 12 weeks of treatment, it showed a significant increase from baseline in mean voiding volume (P<0.01), functional bladder volume (P<0.05) and interval of voiding (P<0.01). The bladder volume at first contraction significantly increased from (62.62±36.37)ml to (126.75±34.64)ml (P<0.01), the maximal pressure of detrusor contraction significantly decreased from (74.81±28.60) cm H2O to (61.90±16.22) cm H2O (P<0.05), the maximal amplitude of wave significantly decreased from (47.24±30.42) cm H2O to (39.36±25.28) cm H2O.ConclusionTolterodine is effective and safety to detrusor hyperreflexia of patients with spinal cord injury, and has a better therapeutic compliance and less adverse reactions.

To investigate the effects of ischemia-reperfusion on the levels of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase isoforms (nNOS and iNOS), rat organotypic hippocampus slice were cultured in vitro and subjected to ischemia by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) for 30 min and then placed in the normal culture condition. The ischemia-reperfusion produced a time-dependent increase in nitrite levels in the culture medium. Reverse transcriptional-polymerase chain reaction showed augmented levels of mRNA for both nNOS and iNOS when compared with control at 12 h and remained increase at 36 h after OGD (P < 0.05). The protein levels of both nitric oxide synthase isoforms increased significantly as determined by Western Blot. OGD also caused neurotoxicity in this model as revealed by the elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) efflux into the incubation solution. The results suggest that organotypic hippocampus slice is a useful model in studying ischemia-reperfusion brain injury. NO and NOS may play a critical role in the ischemia-reperfusion brain damage in vitro.

Objective To investigate the influences of polyethylene glycol on the solubility and in vitro dissolution of m-nisoldipine,which could provide guidance for chosing formulations of m-nisoldipine. Methods Solid dispersions of m-nisoldipine were prepared by solvent-melting method with polyethylene glycol6000 matrix. DSC and XRD spectroscopy were applied to identify the solid dispersions. The solubility and in vitro dissolution were detected by UV spectroscopy. Results The DSC and XRD map were different from the crude drug and their physical mixtures. The dissolution rates(13,15,17) were faster(35. 31%,38. 71%,41. 48%) than that of the crude drug(26. 80%),and the dissolution rates of the solid dispersions in the same ratio were higher than the physical mixtures. Conclusion DSC analysis indicated that eutectic compounds were produced by the m-nisoldipine and polyethylene glycol,in which polyethylene glycol6000 acts as a carrier. The solubility and in vitro dissolution of m-nisoldipine can be increased.

This study is to investigate the effect of compound B2 on the damage of PC12 cells induced by serum deprivation and to explore its related mechanisms. The binding characteristics of B2 to rat striatum adenosine A2A receptor was studied by radioligand 3H-MSX-2 binding assay. Cell viability was detected by MTT assay. ROS formation was measured after DCFDA fluorescent staining. B2 has affinity to rat adenosine A2A receptor (K1 = 0.37 micromol x L(-1)). B2 remarkably increased PC12 cell survival rate in serum deprivation-induced PC12 cells. The percentage of serum deprivation-induced death of PC12 was 49.6%, and the treatment of B2 (0.1-100 micromol x L(-1)) increased the cell viability to 63.3%, 74.9%, 86.3% and 88.1%, respectively. Adenosine A2A receptor antagonist SCH 58261 could significantly block the protective effect of B2. The cell viability with 0.1 micromol x L(-1) SCH 58261 decreased by 16.1%, 24.0% and 19.8%, in the presence of B2 (0.1-10 micromol x L(-1)). Serum deprivation-induced ROS formation was 3.5 times more than that of control group, and treatment with B2 significantly and dose-dependently inhibited ROS over-formation. The protective effect of B2 may be related with adenosine A2A receptor. Decrease of serum-deprivation induced ROS formation may also be one of the mechanisms.

Triptolide possesses antitumor, anti-inflammatory and immuno-supression activity. 3H-triptolide given intragastrically to rats was rapidly but not totally absorbed. After ig and iv administration of 3H-triptolide to rats, the highest radioactivity level was found in the liver, followed by spleen, lung, kidney, intestine, heart and brain. The radioactivity in organs disappeared slowly. 3H-triptolide in plasma was found to be 64.7% bound to plasma protein. In 21d, the cumulative excretion of radioactivity in urine and feces after ig and iv 3H-triptolide to rats was 67.5% and 61.9% of the total dose, respectively. Among that, the radioactivity was 52.4% and 25.3% of the total dose in feces, respectively. The radioactivity excreted by bile in 24h was 6.73 ? 1.9%. The radioactivity in urine, feces and bile measured by TLC, autoradiography and liquid scintillation count indicated that 3H-triptolide excreted in urine, feces and bile was mainly in unchanged form and a few metabolites was found in urine and feces

Serum triglyceride ( TG ) , total cholesterol ( TC ) , low density lipoprotein cholesterol ( LDL-C) , high density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) , uric acid ( UA) levels and fasting blood glucose ( FBG) were measured in 67 patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria ( CSU ) and 66 healthy subjects ( controls).Results showed that the rates of increased serum TG and FBG levels in CSU patients were higher than those in controls ( 19% vs.6%,χ2 =5.309, P <0.05; 12% vs.1%,χ2 =4.194, P <0.05, respectively);however, there were no significant differences in abnormal rate of TC(7%vs.3%) , LDL-C (4%vs.1%), HDL-C(6%vs.3%)and UA(6%vs.1%) between CSU patients and healthy controls(all P>0.05).The rate of rising FBG in CSU patients accompanied by angioedema(4/9)was higher than that in CSU patients without angioedema(7%,χ2 =7.181,P<0.05).
