Objective To evaluate the clinical effects and immune function of shenqi 11 flavor capsule as an adjuvant treatment in advanced NSCLC patients during chemotherapy.Methods 58 cases of advanced NSCLC were divided into two groups by mean of digital random table method,with 29 patients in each group.GP scheme chemotherapy was applied to patients in group B,using gemcitabine (1000 mg/m2) on the 1st and 8th day intravenously (procedure should be finished within 30 minutes) and cisplatin (75 mg/m2) on the 1st day intravenously.Each cycle was 3 weeks,two cycles in total.Same scheme was applied to patients in group A and with an addition of shenqi 11 flavor capsule(1.65 g/time,3 times/d) throughout the whole procedure of chemothrapy.Recent curative effect,life quality,toxic reactions and changes in immune indexes of both groups were observed.Results Short-term response rate in group A was 48.27% and 41.38% in the group B (x2=0.279,P>0.05),which showed no significant differences between the two groups.Toxic reactions such as leukopenia,hematochrome decrease and gastrointestinal reactions in the group B were significantly severe compared to group A after chemotherapy(x2 were 4.678,4.549 and 4.687 respectively,P<0.05).As for immune indexes after chemotherapy,CD3+ (55.21 ± 3.28) %,CD4+ (38.84±5.13) %,CD8+ (29.86±4.83) %,CD4+/CD8+( 1.29± 0.17) and NK cells (20.12± 2.11 ) %in the group B indicated significant differences compared to those in group A[(62.96±4.12)%、(45.21±3.43)%、(25.23±2.79)%、(1.82±0.21)、(25.78±3.36)%],(P<0.05).The life quality was 58.62% in group A and 31.03% in the group B,which showed significant difference (x2=4.462,P<0.05).Conclusion Shenqi 11 flavor capsule as an adjuvant treatment in advanced NSCLC patients during chemotherapy can not only improve life quality of patients,alleviate the symptoms,but also enhance their immune function.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the influence of ginkgo dipyridolum injection on blood-rheological and coagulation function in pationts with AECOPD.Methods78 cases of patients with AECOPD were divided into group A (38 cases)and group B (40 cases)by mean of digital random table method.The routine treatment including oxygen inhalation,spasmolytics and anti-infection was given to patients in both groups while ginkgo dipyridolum injection (30 ml/d)was additionally added to patients in group B for two weeks.The blood-rheological and coagulation function were evaluated.ResultsAs for blood-rheological after the treatment,whole blood high shearing viscosity(5.25 ± 1.24)mPa · S,low shearing viscosity (11.12 ±2.43) mPa · S,plasma viscosity (2.06± 0.14 ) mPa · S and hematocrit (45.52 ± 2.78) % in the group A indicated significant differences compared to those in group B [ (4.83 ± 1.42)mPa· S,(8.78± 3.02) mPa · S,(1.73 ±0.21) mPa · S,(39.05 ± 3.41) %],(P<0.05); as for coagulation function after the treatment,PT (13.14± 1.31 ) S,APTT (30.85±5.24)S,FIB (4.99±1.04)S,D-D (1.42±0.23)mg/L in the group A indicated significant differences compared to those in group B [ (14.78 ± 3.13) S,(36.67 ± 8.12)S,(3.81 ± 0.42) S,(0.84 ±0.39) mg/L],(P<0.05).ConclusionFor the patients with AECOPD,the ginkgo dipyridolum injection can decrease hood-viscosity,and obviously improve hypercoagulabale state.

To investigate the chemical constituents from Barringtonia racemosa, twelve compounds were isolated by chromatography methods and identified as 3β-p-E-coumaroymaslinic acid (1), cis-careaborin (2), careaborin (3), maslinic acid (4), 2α, 3β, 19α-trihydroxyolean-12-ene-24, 28-dioic acid (5), 3β-p-Z-coumaroylcorosolic acid (6), corosolic acid (7), 1α, 2α, 3β, 19α-tetrahydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic acid (8), 19α-hydroxyl ursolic acid (9), 3α, 19α-dihydroxyurs-12-en-24, 28-dioic acid (10), tormentic acid (11), 3-hydroxy-7, 22-dien-ergosterol(12) by the NMR and MS data analysis. Among them, compounds 1-4,7-12 were obtained from the genus Barringtonia for the first time. All the compounds didn't show nocytotoxic activity against MCF-7 and A549 cell lines (IC₅₀>50 mg•L⁻¹).
