Dried roots and rhizomes of Salvia miltiorrhiza (Danshen) are among the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicines in clinic. The material basis for its efficacy mainly includes hydrophobic tanshinones and hydrophilic salvianolic acids. The traditional effects of Danshen are "removing stasis and relieving pain, activating blood to promote menstruation, clearing heart fire and tranquilization". According to modern pharmacological studies, Danshen and its main components have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effect. Recent studies showed that Danshen and its main components also demonstrated protective effects on liver injury models induced by carbon tetrachloride, D-galactosamine, acetaminophen and alcohol. In this paper, the hepatoprotective effect and mechanism of Danshen were summarized and studied.

The effects of Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination within different concentration on SPL proliferate were observed by MTT method. The ratio of CD80/86, CD3CD25 and CD3CD69 was used to evaluate cell activation effects of Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination by FCM. Guizhi Fuling capsule with concentration of 400 mg · L(-1)can promote spleen lymphocyte proliferation, as well as the active ingredient combination, which showed the obvious dose-effect relationship. Compared with control group, the difference has statistical significance (P≤0.01). The result of FCM showed that Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination can promote CD80 and CD86 expression on spleen lymphocyte, and also can increase CD25 and CD69 ratio between spleen CD3+ cells. Compared with control group, the difference has statistical significance (P≤0.01). Thus, Guizhi Fuling capsule and its active ingredient combination may have immune-modulate effects, and the mechanism may have a close relationship with the lymphocyte activation.

Seventy-two strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from the healthy bark, branches and leaves of Cephalotaxus hainanensis L.. Sixty-eight of them were morphologically classified into Fungi Imperfecti, thirty-three sporulated were identified to five genera. For those did not sporulate, one was identified to Rhizoctonia sp., the rest were tentatively classified into Mycelia Sterilia. Four were identified to Basidiomycetes. The result indicated the endophytic fungi of C. hainanensis show a degree of tissue specificity. There were significant differences about the quantity, genera and composition between the fungi isolated from bark and those from branches and leaves.

Objective To observe the effect of LEEP knife in the treatment of cervical lesions and investigate its nursing methods.Methods Totals of 270 patients with cervical lesions were treated with LEEP knife.Their operative time,blood loss,postoperative CCT abnormal number after 3 months,number of cervical stenosis and cervical repair time were observed and compared with those of 220 cases who used conventional electric knife for surgery during the same time.Results The operative time and blood loss were (6.3 ± 0.8) min and(3.2 ±0.5) ml in the LEEP knife group,less than (17.3 ± 2.1) min and (8.0 ± 1.0) ml in the conventional group,and the differences were statistically significant (t =79.311 5,69.003 9,respectively;P ＜0.05).The number of cervical stenosis and postoperative CCT abnormal number after 3 months were 6 and 22 in the LEEP knife group,less than 21 and 55 in the conventional group,and the differences were statistically significant (x2 =5.386 2,25.991 8,respectively;P ＜ 0.05).The cervical repair time was (13 ± 1)d in the LEEP knife group,shorter than (22 ± 2) d in the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant (t ==64.691 1,P ＜0.05).Conclusions LEEP knife is an effective way to treat cervical lesions,with effective interventions,which can reduce blood loss,shorten recovery time after cervix,and decrease the number of cervical stenosis as well as postoperative CCT abnormal number.

OBJECTIVETo reveal the relation between endogenous hormones and the flower bud differentiation in Schisandga chinensis.

METHODTop buds of extremely short branch and axillary buds of long branch in the same plant of S. chinensis were used as material and the contents of endogenous hormones were measured during different periods of the flower bud differentiation with HPLC.

RESULTThe result showed that flower bud differentiation and the formation of female flower were inhibited by high concentration of GA3 and were promoted by high concentration of ABA or ZT. Low ratio of GA3/ABA has the same result.

CONCLUSIONThere was a correlation between endogenous hormones and the flower bud differentiation of S. chinensis.
