Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;29(6):581-582
Objective: To explore the urgent management strategy for quadriplegia following China Wenchuan earthquake under filed condition. Methods: The 57-year-old male patient was sent to the earthquake relief team of Changzheng Hospital, Second Military Medical University. He was hit by heavy object during the Sichuan earthquake 6 days ago. Physical examination revealed cervical spinal cord injury accompanied by incomplete paralysis. The patient underwent cervical 3-7 laminectomy under general anesthesia. Results: After surgery the muscle strength of lower limbs recovered to grade four from grade one; the muscle strength of upper limbs recovered to grade five from grade three. Sensory loss was found below the nipple level and totally recovered after operation. Conclusion: Early surgery for quadriplegia following earthquake trauma can timely relieve compression to the spinal cord and therefore improve prognosis of patients. Under field condition where facilities are not readily available, decompression of spinal cord can be achieved by laminectomy via posterior approach. The key to successful operation is correct diagnosis and skillful manipulation.

AIM: To compare the contents of baicalin,paeoniflorin and glycyrrhetic acid in the seperated and mixed decoction of Huangqin Decoction(Radix Scutellariae,Radix Paeoniae alba,Radix et Rhizoma Glycyrrhizae and Fructus Jujubae). METHODS: The contents of baicalin,paeoniflorin and glycyrrhetic acid were analyzed by HPLC.Chromatographic conditions included: Hypersil BDS C_(18) column and the mobile phase consisted of a mixture of methanol-water-phosphoric acid(47(∶)53(∶)0.2),acetonitrile-water-phosphoric acid(18(∶)82(∶)0.1) and methanol-water-phosphate buffer solution(70(∶)29(∶)1).Baicalin,paeoniflorin and glycyrrhetic acid were detected at 280 nm,230 nm and 250 nm respectively. RESULTS: The linear range of baicalin,paeoniflorin and glycyrrhetic acid were 2.88—72.00 ?g/mL,2.85—22.80 ?g/mL and 4.16—52.00 ?g/mL respectively.The contents of baicalin in the mixed decoction was higher than that in the seperated decoction.The contents of paeoniflorin and glycyrrhetic acid in the mixed decoction were almost as same as that in seperated decoction. CONCLUSION: The contents of active ingredients in the mixed and seperated decoction are different.

Objective To investigate the effect of the nuclear factor (NF)-κBp65 antisense oligonucleotide (ASODN) on NF-κB activity and expression of interleukin(IL)-6 in hepatic stellate cells (HSC). Methods The HSC were separated from rats and cultured. The toxicity of NF-κBp65 ASODN on HSC were detected by Trypan blue exclusion staining and the NF-κB activity was determined by EMSA. The expressions of IL-6 mRNA and protein were meaured by RT-PCR and ELISA, respectively. Results In vitro, no toxicity of ASODN on HSC was observed at the concentrations of 0. 001 to 1.0 μmol/L. NF-κB activity was increased after stimulating HSC with tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α, whereas it was weakened in a dose dependent manner when HSC were cultured with ASODN (concentration from 0. 001 to 1.0 μmol/L). At the same time, the expressions of IL-6 mRNA and protein induced by TNFα were decreased after transfected with ASODN at concentrations of 0.001- 1. 0 μmol/L in a dose dependent manner. Conclusion ASODN may specifically inhibit either the activiy of NF-κB or expression of IL-6, which provides the theoretical basis that ASODN may use to treat fibrosis of the liver.
