OBJECTIVE: To optimize the extraction conditions of plumula nelumbinis. METHODS: The semi - bionic extraction (SBE) conditions were optimized by homogeneous design while total alkaloids and dry extract were adopted as markers. Factors of extraction time, solute quantity and the pH values were evaluated for their effects on extraction process. RESULTS: Optimal parameters were as follows: plumula nelumbinis was extracted in water 8 times as much as it for 3 times; the pH values of the water for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd decoctions were 5.0,6.0 and 8.0, respectively; the boiling lasted 4 hours. CONCLUSION: The method prouides theoretical reference for the extraction plumula nelumbinis.

Aim To investigate the combined pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic(PK-PD) model of irbesartan in healthy Chinese male volunteers. Methods Eighteen healthy male volunteers received 300 mg irbesartan tablet orally. The plasma drug concentration (C_p) was determined by HPLC and pharmacologic effects, including SBP, DBP and HR, were measured simultaneously. The pharmakinetic and PK-PD model parameters were calculated. Results The pharmacokinetic profiles were best fitted a two-compartment open model. There was a hysteresis loop between effects and plasma concentrations. The relationship between effects and effect compartment concentrations of drugs could be represented by the Sigmoid-E_ max model. Conclusion We successfully eatablished the PK-PD model of irbesartan in healthy male volunteers. These findings may provide a more rational basis for patient-specific dosage individualization.

Objective To explore the mechanism of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) via observing the change of mitochondria in IUGR placenta. Methods Placenta samples were collected from 30 singleton pregnancies at the time of elec-tive caesarean section. Fifteen of them were appropriate for gestational age and 15 were IUGR. Mitochondrial morphology was observed by transmission electron microscopy, DNA copies were analyzed by real-time quantitative PCR and membrane potential was assayed by lfow cytometry. Results Signiifcant morphological changes of placental mitochondria were observed under transmission electron microscopy in IUGR, mitochondrial DNA copies in IUGR placenta were signiifcantly increased (P<0.01) and membrane potential decreased dramatically (P<0.01). Conclusions It is suggest that impaired mitochondrial function in IUGR may involve in IUGR pathogenesis.

Objective To investigate the changes of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) complicated by myocardial ischemic injury. Methods Forty neonates with HIE ( 16 cases with concurrent myocardial injury and 24 cases without) were enrolled. Twenty healthy neonates were used as control. Plasma NT-proBNP levels were measured using enzyme immunoassay. Cardiac function was measured by echocardiography. Results ( 1 ) The mean plasma NT-proBNP levels in patients with myocardial injury[(350 ± 56) pmol/L]were significantly higher than those in patients without myocardial injury[(135 ± 37 ) pmol/L]and in the control group [(117 ±23) pmol/L](P ＜0. 05). (2) The NT-proBNP levels in mild,moderate and severe HIE neonates were ( 132 ±34) pmol/L, (247 ±43) pmol/L and (343 ±53) pmol/L. Compared with the control group,the NT-proBNP levels in the neonates with moderate and severe HIE significantly increased. There were significant differences in the NT-proBNP levels among the mild, moderate and severe HIE neonates ( P ＜ 0. 05 ).(3) In patients with myocardial injury,the NT-proBNP levels significantly decreased in the convalescent phase [(250±78) pmol/L]compared with those in the acute phase[(350±56) pmol/L](P ＜0.05). (4) The NT-proBNP levels were significantly related with left ventricular ejection fraction. Conclusion Plasma NT-proBNP levels increase in neonates with HIE complicated with myocardial ischemic injury in the acute phase.Detection of NT-proBNP levels maybe useful in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemic injury and severe HIE.

ObjectiveTo compare inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane and intravenous anesthesia with propofol-sufentanil in patients undergoing gynecological outpatient surgery.MethodsOne hundred and forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-35 yr,weighing45-65 kg,undergoing outpatient painless abortion,were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =70 each):intravenous anesthesia with propofol-sufentanil group (group Ⅰ ) and inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane group (group Ⅱ ).In group Ⅰ,sufentanil 0.2 μg/kg was injected intravenously,and 1％ propofol was infused at 2-3 mg·kg-1 ·min-1,followed by a rate of 3-4 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 after loss of eyelash reflex.In group Ⅱ,8％ sevoflurane was inhaled and the oxygen flow rate was 6 L/min,and after loss of eyelash reflex,the oxygen flow rate was adjusted to 3 L/min,and the concentration of sevoflurane was adjusted to 2％-3％.The time of induction of anesthesia,emergence time,operation time,intraoperative hypoxemia,body movement and related adverse events were recorded.ResultsCompared with group Ⅰ,the time of induction of anesthesia was significantly prolonged,the incidence of agitation,nausea and vomiting was significantly increased,and the incidence of sexual hallucinations was significantly decreased ( P ＜ 0.05),while no significant change was found in the operation time,emergence time,and incidence of shivering,intraoperative hypoxemia and body movement in group Ⅱ ( P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionIntravenous anesthesia with propofol-sufentanil is more helpful in improving the quality of emergence from anesthesia and more suitable for gynecological outpatient surgery than inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane.

Objective Frontal resting EEG asymmetry was used to evaluate the gender effect of emotion regulation.Methods The resting EEG was recorded in 30 healthy volunteers (19-26 years old) by the guide 40 amplifier,and off-line analysis on EEG data were conducted by scan4.3 software.The statistical analysis were performed using SPSS 17.0.Results In normal human,frontal resting EEG alpha power was statistically significant(F=4.918,P =0.035).Asymmetry and gender interaction group (F =0.668,P =0.421),electrode point and gender interaction group (F =0.283,P =0.756),electrode point and asymmetry interaction group (F =1.418,P =0.260),electrode point,asymmetry and gender interaction group (F =1.164,P =0.327) had no statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).The comparison of male and female asymmetry degree of each electrode point (F4/F3 group t =0.465,F8/F7 groupt=0.809,FP2/FP1 group t=1.542) had no statistical significance (P＞0.05).Conclusion Normal human brain hemispheres exist asymmetry.The asymmetry does not exists gender effect.In non-task state,frontal resting EEG alpha power asymmetry can not be recognized as the indicator of emotion regulation ability.

Objective To investigate the effects of permissive hypercapnia (PHC) strategy used in ventilated newborn swine with respiratory failure on cerebral blood flow (CBF) and tissue metabolism. Method Eighteen newborn swine were randomly (random number) divided into 3 groups (n = 6): PHC, normocapnia (NC) and normal control groups. In PHC (PaCO2 50～60 mmHg) and NC (PaCO2 35 ～ 45 mmHg) groups, newborn swine were ventilated for treating respiratory failure induced by meconium aspiration. CBF was measured by using colored microsphere tracking technique. Cerebral oxygen metabolism rate (CMRO2), cerebral glucose metabolism rate (CMRGlu), and cerebral lactate production (CLP) were measured. Results After ventilation for 6 hours and 12hours, CBF in NC group decreased more significantly than those did in control group, and CMRGlu and CLP increased more significantly than those did in control group. In NC group, CMRO2 decreased more prominently than it did in control group 12 hours later. The CBF/CMRGlu and CBF/CLP ratios in NC group were lower than those in control(P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in CBF/CMRO2 ratio between NC and control groups. After ventilation for 6 hours, CBF in PHC group was lower than those in control group. But after ventilation for 12hours, CBF in PHC group increased and there was no significant difference in CBF between PHC group and control group (P＞O.05). There were no significant differences in CMRGlu, CLP and CMRO2 between PHC group and control group. The CBF/CMRGlu and CBF/CLP ratios in PHC group were lower than those in control, but higher then those in NC group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in CBF/CMRO2 ratio between PHC and control groups. Conclusions The reduction of cerebral blood flow and the disturbance of CBF autoregulation disturbance occur in ventilated newborn swine with hypoxemia respiratory failure. PHC may attenuate the reduction in CBF and the disturbance of CBF autoregulation.
