Objective To study the antipyretic,anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects of Chaigeshubiao granules. Methods Animals were randomly divided into 6 groups:blank control group,indomethacin group,Fengreganmao granules group and the high, the medium and the low dosage groups of Chaigeshubiao granules ( 26, 13, 6. 5 g . kg-1 ) . Each group was administered via intragastric administration once a day for 5 days.Rat model suffering from fever by dried yeast,relieving fever of Chaigeshubiao granules was investigated;Rats with toe swelling by 1% carrageenin and mice with ear swelling by dimethylbenzene were applied to observe anti-inflammatory effects of Chaigeshubiao granules were observed;The pain models induced by 0. 6%acetic acid and the hot-plate tests in mice were used to observe the analgesic effects of Chaigeshubiao granules. Results Compared with negative control group,Chaigeshubiao granules in high dosage could obviously decrease the temperature of rat with fever induced by dried yeast 0.5 h later,and the medium dosage group decreased 4-6 h later. Moreover,Chaigeshubiao granules in high dosage could inhibit inflammatory reaction of rat with toe swelling caused by albumen at 1 h,2 h,3 h,when the medium dosage group inhibited at 2 h,3 h,4 h. The inhibition ratio of the mice with ear swelling induced by dimethylbenzene was 58.2%, 52.0% and 53.9%,respectively at the high,medium and low dose groups. And the inhibition ratio of retortion of mice by 0.6%acetic acid was 50.5%,68.8%,58.1%,respectively, at the high,medium and low dose groups. In addition,the high,medium and low dose groups reduced the pain reaction latency of mice in the hot-plate tests. Conclusion Chaigeshubiao granules have antipyretic,anti-inflammatory and analgesic actions.

Objective To develop a method for determination of serumal copper ion in rabbit with implantation of copper intrauterine device.Methods At different time points after implantation,the serumal copper ion concentrations were determined by microwave digestion-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(ICP-MS) using scandium(Sc) and indium(In) as internal standards to compensate sample matrix effects,and the pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated in order to reflect copper ion release and metabolic rule.Results The serumal copper ion concentrations were kept at a low and stable level.The recoveries were in the range of 98.7%-113.3%,with the relative standard deviations of less than 5.0%.Conclusion The analytical method is simple,fast,and can be used for the determination of serumal copper ion in rabbit.

Objective:To investigate the anti-inflammation,analgesia and ulcer healing promotion of Zhenbing Koukuining tab-lets. Methods:The anti-inflammatin,analgesia and ulcer healing promotion of the preparation was respectively observed in the croton oil-induced auricular edema in mice,acetic acid-induced writhing in mice and acetic acid-induced oral ulcer in golden hamsters. Re-sults:The tablets could obviously alleviate the auricular edema(P<0. 01)and reduce the writhing times in mice(P<0. 05),and nar-row the oral ulcer(P<0. 01 or P<0. 05)and inhibit the inflammation reaction in golden hamsters. Conclusion:Zhenbing Koukuining tablets have anti-inflammatory,analgesia and ulcer healing promotion effects.

BACKGROUND: Silk fibroin, the main component of silk fibroin biofilm, is a natural protein, but it is still a heterologous protein to the body. Its immunogenicity/toxicity is an important factor in determining the development prospects. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the toxicity of absorbable silk fibroin biofilm and its degradation products on the rat immune system by muscle implantation experiments in rats. METHODS: Ten Wistar rats from Beijing Weitong Lihua Experimental Animal Technology Co., Ltd. were implanted with a long strip of 1 mm× 10 mm in the right gluteal muscle to observe the implant absorption and determine the implantation cycle. Seventy-two Wistar rats were assigned into control and experimental groups (n=36/group, 18 in either sexes) . A long strip of 1 mm×10 mm was implanted into the rat right gluteal muscle in the experimental group, and the control group received no implantation. Some of the rats were taken for histological examination and calculate the organ/weight ratio, at 26 weeks postoperatively. The spleen lymphocyte proliferation ability, NK cell activity, cell classification of T lymphocytes, and levels of interleukin 2 and tumor necrosis factor α were detected. Another part of the animals was taken for macrophage phagocytosis of erythrocytes cell capacity and antibody producing cell count. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Silk fibroin biofilm was completely absorbed after implanted into the rat muscle for 26 weeks. (2) In female or male Wistar rats, the immune organs in the experimental group showed no significant changes in the appearance, weight and histological examination. There were no significant differences in the hematological indexes (hemoglobin, red blood cell count, hematocrit, blood platelet count and white blood cell count and classification) , spleen lymphocyte proliferation, NK cell activity, the ratio of T lymphocytes and their subpopulations, and the levels of interleukin 2 and tumor necrosis factor α had no significant differences between two groups (P> 0.05) . (3) In female or male Wistar rats, the macrophage phagocytosis of chicken erythrocytes cell capacity and antibody producing cell count showed no significant differences between two groups (P> 0.05) . (4) These results indicate that silk fibroin biofilm causes no immunosuppression or immunostimulation on immune organs, immune cells and immune molecules (cytokines) of rats.

Objective:To study the acute toxicity in mice and cytotoxicity of the impuritiy(3-amino-2-piperidinone hydrochloride) in ornithine. Methods:The mice were given the impurity by intravenous injection.The acute toxicity was observed and LD50in mice was calculated by Bliss method. According to the result of LD50,the mice were given the impurity respectively at high,medium and low dose. The changes of general condition and body weight were recorded,and the blood biochemical indices and histomorphology of organs and tissues were observed after 14 days. The cytotoxicity was measured on fibroblasts(L929) cells. Results:The LD50and 95% con-fidence limit of the impurity (intragastric administration) was 758.49-848.08 mg·kg-1.All the detected indices of the three groups (660,330 and 170 mg·kg-1) including general condition,weight change,biochemical indices,organ morphological and histological change were all within the normal ranges. The impurity significantly decreased the viability of L929 cells. The NOAEL value was 660 mg·kg-1in mice. Conclusion:The impurity has certain toxicity to mice and cells. The data can provide experimental basis for the quality standard establishment for ornithine and the safety improvement in clinic use.
