OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technology of Bushen huoxue capsules. METHODS:Central composite de-sign-response surface method was used to optimize the extraction technology with the amount of water and boiling time as main fac-tors using normalized value of the contents of icariin and salvianolic acid B,the yield of dry extract as index. Validation test was al-so conducted. RESULTS:The optimal extraction technology was as follows as 15-fold water,reflux extracting for 75 min,extract-ing for 2 times. The deviation of measured value and predicted value was 0.000 3% in validation test. CONCLUSIONS:The cen-tral composite design-response surface method can be used to optimize the extraction technology of Bushen huoxue capsules with good prediction,and the technology is simple and stable.

For a long period of time, silk fibroin has been applied in biomedical areas. Along with the development of biotechnology, new functions of silk fibroin are being found and developed. From the suture of surgery to the therapeutic drug and the ordinary tissue engineering frame to high grade frame with drug buffer system, exploitation of silk fibroin is constantly introduced with something new from the old ones. In our review, we summarize the applications of silk fibroin in tissue engineering, drug buffer system and medical care.

Cellulase system contains a series of complex components.There are still some problems remained unclear in cellulase and its mechanism of hydrolyzing lignocellulosic materials and its hydrolysis kinetics,so profound study is needed.The rapid development of many kinds of new interdiscipline such as biochemistry,molecular biology and gene engineering,has further clarified the structure and function of cellulase,and the relationshi Pof its gene expression and regulation,and furthermore resulted in derivative study methods about cellulase in more aspects.Cellulase system components according to synergistic catalytic mode and the sequence of the homology amino acids similarity,summarizes traditional detection methods of enzyme components,and emphasizes on research progress of various biosensors applied in detection of cellulase activity and gene expression was introduced.

Objective To acknowledge the effect of T-lymphocyte subset on lymph node micrometastasis in esophageal cancer patients by the study of the correlation between T-lymphocyte subset and micrometastasis.Methods CD3+、CD4+、CD8+and CD4+/CD8+ were examined in esophageal cancer patients under thoracotomy by flow cytometry,and the micrometastasis were examined by immunohistochemistry in lymph node that were diagnosed as negative for metastases by routine histopathological analysis.Two groups were divided by with or without micro-metastasis,T-lymphocyte subset were compared with two groups.Results CD3+,CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+were significantly lower in group with micrometastasis than in group without micrometastasis,CD8+ was significantly higher in group with micrometagtasis than in group without micrometastasis.Conclusion T-lymphocyte subset is closely associmed with micrometastasis and low CD3+,CD4+ and high CD8+ T-lymphocyte is associated with poor cancer-specific survival.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of pravastatin on serum levels of interleukin-6(IL-6) and tu- mor necrosis faetor-α(TNF-α) in patients with acute coronary syndromes(ACS). Methods50 patients with ACSwere randomly divided into pravastatin group( n = 25) and routine therapy group( n = 25). Serum TNF-α and IL-6levels were measured before and four weeks after the two treatment options respectively. ResultsThe level of TNF- α and IL-6 were higher than routine therapy group before therapy(P < 0.01 ). The level of TNF-α and IL-6 weredecreased significantly after pravastatin therapy,and higher thancontrols(P < 0.05). The levels of TNF-α and IL-6changed only slightly after the routine therapy(P > 0.05). ConclusionThe level of TNF-α and IL-6 becominghigher in ACS patients may be related to the pathogenesis of ACS. Pravastatin can reduce serum level of TNF-α and IL-6 contributing to treatment of ACS.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of cholangioscopic Holmium laser lithotripsy for bile duct refractory residual stone and orthomorphia for intrahepatic bile duct membranous stenosis. Methods The final diagnosis was established by T tube retrograde cholangiography and cholangioscopy in 12 patients with refractory bile duct residual stone. Twenty-nine stones distribute in extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile duct and 5 intrahepatic bile duct membraneous stenosis were found in 3 cases. All patients underwent Holmium laser lithotripsy and orthomorphia. Results The stone clearance rate was 100% in 12 patients after cholangioscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. No serious complication occurred in patients after 5 membranous stenosis orthomorphia. Follow-up observation on 11 patients shows no obvious recurrence of symptom and stones. Conclusion Holmium laser lithotripsy and orthomorphia are safe and effective in the treatment of bile duct refractory residual stone and stenosis.

Objective To study the characteristics of the inpatients with cancer pain, the application of WHO three steps analgesic solution (three steps analgesic) and the application of traditional Chinese analgesic (TCM). Methods Retrospective investigation of distribution of cancer pain, situation of pain, application of TCM, and the application of conbination of three steps analgesic and TCM treatment, by using, clinical data from the oncology department of afflicated hospital of Liaoning university of TCM ranging from May, 2009 to June, 2010. Results 47.4% (517/1 090) of patiens were combined with cancer pain. Among the patients, majority were the middle-aged and old (59.19%) and male patients (57.63%). The abdominal pain (57.45%) and chest pain (37.91%) were topranks, and the distributions of pain period such assustainability (65.37%), moderately (53.38%), bloated pain (49.71%) and dull pain (29.98%) had larger proportion. The TCM excessive patterns(50.87%) were more than the TCM deficiency patterns (28.63%) or mixed TCM patters of excessive and deficiency patterns (20.50%). A total of 46 patients had mild pain, 76.09% of whom used TCM, 15.22% used first step drugs, and 8.69% used combination treatment, while 276 patients with moderate pain used second step analgesic, and 91.67%of them also used TCM, the rest195 patients with severe pain used third step analgesic, and 55.38%of them also used TCM. The time of pain release of TCM alone or combination of TCM and three steps analgesic were longer than the three steps analgesic alone. Conclusions Early intervention of traditional Chinese medicine on the patients with mild pain could reduce the dose of first step analgesic drugs, and TCM application at the second step could delay the speed of transtformfrom second to third step pain, and TCM could prevent the side effects of morphine when patients were with severe pain.

Through reviewing the concept, work content and standard work process of anesthesia clinic, this article analyzed the moral value of anesthesia clinic:beneficial to use the medical resources rationally, to improve patient safety, to enhance humanistic care, and to reflect the value of the anesthesia doctor. Then, it discussed the realization way of anesthesia clinic and aimed to improve the safety of operation and anesthesia, at the same time, to enhance the humanistic care of patients.

Optogenetics is a novel technique which combines optics with genetics.Using genetic means,a selected opsin protein is ectopically expressed in target neurons,which are then stimulated by light to moderate the neuronal circuit,as a consequence to regulate the animal's behaviors.Retinal degeneration like retinitis pigmentosa and aged macular degeneration causes visual impairment and eventual blindness.Optogenetics techniques have opened the door to creating artificial photoreceptors in the remaining retinal circuits of retinal degeneration retinas via gene therapy.However,there are still limitations in optogenetics technique,for example,potential risk in virus infection,the choice of target cells and the low visual resolution of the experiment animal.It has been reported that vision was successfully restored to a certain extent in animal model using optogenetics technique.With higher photosensitivity of opsin protein,longer activation kinetics and higher transfection efficiency of virus vector,optogenetics techniques' application in ophthalmology will be improved.
