OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the long-term toxicity of Ginkgolide B injection on Beagle dogs,and to provide safety evidences for clinical experiment.METHODS: A total of 24 Beagle dogs were equally assigned to receive placebo(control group,n=6) or Ginkgolide B injection at high,medium,and low doses(80,20,and 5 mg?kg-1) by iv gtt for 6 consecutive days per week for up to 90 days.There were 6 Beagle dogs(male: female =1∶1) in each group.All the laboratory indicators were monitored and the recovery of the Beagle dogs was observed.RESULTS: During medication,vomiting was noted in one dog in high dose group,and the clotting time in high and medium dose groups was prolonged obviously.During the recovery stage,one dog in high dose group was strong positive in urinary protein test.No significant drug-associated toxic reactions were noted judging from Beagle dogs' body weight,appetite,temperature,ECG,hematology,blood biochemical analysis,ophthalmology test,marrow test,urine routine test,histopathologic examination etc.CONCLUSION: The non-toxic dose of Ginkgolide B injection for Beagle dogs was 20 mg?kg-1.

Objective To investigate whether Senxing granule is effective on deferring aging and its mechanism. Methods The assay methods for life span of fruit fly and rat antioxidation were used for the study. Level of lipoperoxide, activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in whole blood and liver tissue was measured. Low dose of Senxing granules in the culture medium was decided as 0.007 % and middle dose as 0.022 %. Results Low dose of Senxing granule significantly increased the mean life span of female fly by 3.7%( P

Aim To observe the protective effects of ginkgolide B(GB)on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and explore its mechanism.Methods Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion.The neurological out-come and infarct size were evaluated.SOD and LDH activity,LD and MDA levels of ischemia cerebral tissue were measured.The pathomorphology examination was done.Results GB did not improve neurologic defects in 3 h ischemia rats,but it improved neurologic defects in 21 h reperfusion rats.GB(10,5 mg?kg-1)markedly decreased infarct size in rats.SOD activity in GB(10,5 mg?kg-1)groups was higher,and LDH activity and MDA level in GB(10,5,2.5 mg?kg-1)groups were significantly lower than those in vehicle group.LD level did not chang.The cellular and intercellular edema was reduced markedly in the pathomorphology examination.Conclusions GB has protective effects on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Its role is probably related to its effect on the activity of SOD and LDH,and the level of MDA.

In order to adapt to the requirements of the modern clinical laboratory to medical laboratory technology personnel operation ability,our hospital has modified professional microbiology experiment course to modular teaching from the traditional teaching mode.In the process of teaching experiment,the experiment course and clinical practice class are arranged,and the experiment course of microbiology is divided into five modules:basic skills,application,comprehensive training,extension,and clinical practice module.Basic skills module focuses on the foundation that students learn to observe the microbial morphology and master the basic operation technology,at the same time,cultivates the students' sterile ideas and biological safety;Application module pays attention to the detection of various types of bacteria,lets the student have as many times of trying as possible,battle-hardened;Comprehensive training module emphasizes students' ability of analyzing and resolving problems;Extension module guides students actively to make diffusing thinking and comprehensive analysis of problems;The final clinical practice module that combines theory and practice,further consolidates the basic operation skills,cultivates students' comprehensive ability,improves students' the independent working ability and professional thinking and habits.Five modules link up with each other closely and have progressive layers of the process.In sum,modular teaching motivates the students' interest in learning,solves the problem of students' insufficient operating ability,improves the teaching effect and provides a reform method for improving the quality of microbiological test experiment.
