Objective To determine the content of indirubin in Kangbingan Oral Liquid by UV spectrophotometer methods.Methods The content of indirubin was determined by Heltos Gamma ultravioletvisible spectrophotometer with chloroformic solution of 2~8 ?g/mL confected by standard sample of indigotin and indirubin.The sample of negative blank solution was confected by the prescription without Radix Isatidis.The standard sample and the blank sample were determined separately with the wavelength at 500~700 nm.Results Indirubin had the maximum absorption at wavelength of 540.0 nm and indigotin had the maximum absorption at wavelength of 634.5 nm.The linear correlation was available at the range of 0.20~1.40 ?g/mL,and the correct coefficient was 0.999 4.The average recovery rate was 99.05% and RSD was 0.87%(n=6).Conclusion This method is simple and accurate,and can be used to control the quality of Kangbingan Oral Liquid.

OBJECTIVE:To prepare aciclovir multivesicular liposomes of high encapsulation efficiency and good stability. METHODS: Aciclovir multivesicular liposomes were prepared by multiple emulsion method. The preparation technology was optimized by orthogonal experiment with entrapment efficiency as index and the amount of lubricant glyceryl trioleate (A),drug/lipid ratio (B),pH of buffer solution (C) and the amount of tween-80 (D) as factors. The concentration of the aciclovir was determined by the UV spectrophotometry and the entrapment efficiency of the aciclovir multivesicular liposomes was computed. The change of the entrapment efficiency of the optimized preparations within 7 days in different conditions was investigated and the leaking rate was computed. RESULTS: The optimal technology was as follows: A 0.50 g,B 5∶150,C 6.5 and D 0.40 g. The entrapment efficiency of the aciclovir multivesicular liposomes was 85.82% and the leaking rate was 5.84% within 7 days under common temperature. CONCLUSIONS: The preparation technology of the aciclovir multivesicular liposomes is simple and the preparation is of high entrapment efficiency and good stability under common temperature.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells in Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. Methods Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus was established in rats, and by using immunostaining, changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells was investigated. Results Expression of PYK2 in hippocampal pyramidal neurons was markedly decreased after kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. However, 24h after the epileptic onset, a pronounced up-regulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 immunoreactivities were evident in amoeboid microglial cells. The upregulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 was in accordance with the morphological changes of the activated microglial cells. Conclusion PYK2 was activated in microglial cells after seizure. Furthermore, the activation of PYK2 in microglial cells after seizure might be related to the morphological and behavioral changes of microglial cells after activation.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the changes of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK expression in neurons after focal cerebral ischemia. Methods Focal ischemia reperfusion model was established in rats, and by using immunostaining, the changes of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK expression in neurons was observed. Results Faint phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK immunoreactivity were revealed in normal cortical neurons. Fifteen minutes after the ischemia onset, a pronounced upregulation of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK immunoreactivities were evident in these ischemia attacked neurons. The immunoreactivities of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK reached its peak at 30min after ischemia, and decreased 60min after ischemia. Conclusion Cerebral ischemia was able to induce neuronal PYK2 phosphorylation. The activation of PYK2 might link ischemia attack to the p38MAPK signaling pathway to initiate the neuronal response to the stress stimuli

Aim To compare cardioprotection effects between carvedilol and metoprolol in canine late reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction.Methods Eighteen anesthetized dogs were randomly divided into three groups: late reperfusion group(LR,n=6),late reperfusion after metoprolol treatment group(LR+M,n=6),and late reperfusion after carvedilol treatment group(LR+C,n=6),respectively orally giving physiological saline,metoprolol(1 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)),and carvedilol(1 mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) for seven days,and then late reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction model was made by ligating the coronary for 6 h,followed by reperfusion for 6 h.SOD,GR activity and MDA content of infarction brim myocardium were detected by colorimetry,Fas/FasL were detected by immunohistochemistry,apoptosis index(AI) were detected by TUNEL.Results Compared with LR,Myocardial MDA content in LR+C was decreased,and SOD and GR activities were significantly higher,but LR+M did not change.The expression of Fas/FasL and apoptosis index were significantly lowered in LR+M and LR+C,especially in LR+C.Conclusion Carvedilol and metoprolol have cardioprotection on late reperfusion of acute myocardial infarction,and carvedilol is superior to metoprolol and the pharmacological effects may due to its antioxidant effect.

Objective To investigate the factors related to the depression in the retired old army officers in Beijing, to establish effective nursing intervention on these factors. Methods Various factors related to depression were investigate using questionnaire in 500 retired army officers. Results Among 500 subjects, 23.0% (115/500) were with minor depression, 6.4% (32/500) with moderate depression, while 1.6% with severe depression. Subjects whose wife were still alive had much less incurrence rate of depression than ones remarried or widowed. The less time after retirement and less satisfaction in life were other important factors related to depression. Conclusion Psychological care should be emphasized on widowed, freshly retired, or people feeling less satisfactory in life. Active nursing intervention should be applied to lower the harmful effect of depression on health.
