This study was aimed to observe the effect of Bai-Zhu Fu-Ling (BZFL) Decoction in different proportion-ing on VIP and VIPR1 in Crohn's disease (CD) rats with spleen deficiency syndrome, in order to further explore the immunologic mechanism of BZFL Decoction on CD. The CD rat model with spleen deficiency syndrome was estab-lished using exhaustion and hunger. The model rats were treated by BZFL Decoction with different proportioning, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) was used to detect the expression of VIP and its receptor in colon tissues. The results showed that comparing to the blank control group, the level of VIP and its receptor of the model group significantly increased (P< 0.05). Comparing to the model group, the level of VIP and its receptor in BZFL Decoction B5 group (Rhizoma A tractylodis Macrocephalae:Poria = 12:15), B6 group (Rhizoma A tractylodis Macrocephalae:Poria = 15:12) and B7 group (Rhizoma A tractylodis Macrocephalae:Poria = 18:9) was significantly decreased (P< 0.05). It was con-cluded that the effect of BZFL Decoction of B5 group, B6 group and B7 group was better than other groups in VIP and its receptor which can regulate the VIP and its receptor, inhibit the releasing of inflammatory factors and reduce intestinal inflammation injury.

Objective To investigate the effects of single dose of dexmedetomidine and fentynyl on treatment of emergence agitation in adult patients after general anesthesia.Methods Sixty patients suffering from emergence agitation after general anesthesia were divided into two groups randomly(n=30 each):dexmedetomidine group (group D)and fentaynl group (group F).Patients in group D received dexmedetomidine at a dose of 0.5μg/kg,and those in group F received fentanyl at a dose of 1μg/kg respectively.If patients still agitate after above treatment,intermission infusion of propofol at bolus of 1.0 mg/kg was used for further treatment till patients attain peaceful state.Results Twen-ty-nine paients in group D had no agitation,only one patient had mild agitation after administration of dexmedetomidine,while four patients had severe agitation,four patients had moderate agitation and 9 patients had mild agitation after administration of fentanyl(P<0.05);the time from first treatment to no agitation in group D was (11±3)min,shorter than that in group F (27±9)min (P<0.05);the dose of propofol used in group D was (50±0)mg,less than accumulative doses of propofol in group F (270±40)mg (P<0.05);21 (70%)patients in group D had radycardia and 9 (30%)patients in group F had respiratory depression(P<0.05).Conclusion Intravenous dexmedetomidine at a dose of 0.5 μg/kg attainted was effective in treating emergence agitation in adult patients after general anes-thesia as compared with fentanyl.

A fusion protein of glucagons-like peptide-1 and human serum albumin (GLP-1/HSA) was expressed and secreted into the fermentation broth with recombinant Pichia pastoris. The productivity of expressed GLP-1/HSA could reach 63.6mg/L in 10L fermentor. After concentrated with hollow-fiber ultrafiltration membrane, GLP-1/HSA was purified from fermentation broth by hydrophobic chromatography, negative ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography in turn. The HPLC analysis showed that the purified GLP-1/HSA had an overall purity of 95.8%. Furthermore, the analysis of in vivo activity indicated that GLP-1/HSA had the bioactivity of native GLP-1, and could significantly reduce blood glucose level 4h after intraperitoneal administration. It was concluded that a great deal of GLP-1/HSA with higher purity could be harvested by Pichia pastoris expression system and the established purification methods. Preliminary studies show a new potential for developing the long-acting GLP-1 analogs for clinical applications.
