Traditional Chinese medicine injections (TCMIs) originated in china, which was fast-acting with high bioavailability. TCMI is applied widely in clinic since it plays an important role for therapy severe and acute disease, such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), infectious diseases, malignancy, and etc. However, the adverse reactions reported of TCMIs are increasing in recent years. For this, the review summarized systematically the reports and researches of adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of TCMIs according to about 100 literatures in the nearly five years. The ADR of TCMIs mainly includes allergic reaction, respiratory damage, digestive system damage, cardiovascular system damage and urinary system damage, and etc. The main causes are relative with complexity, uncertainty and instability of the drug material. Influence of excipients, pharmaceutical technologies, drug combination and application method was also discussed. There are many methods on adverse reactions of TCMIs, including descriptive studies, analytical epidemiology and experimental studies. This article provided necessary information for reasonable application of TCMIs in clinical practice.

Objective To investigate the etiology and clinical characteristics of acute pancreatitis complicated with hyperlipidemia.Methods 497 patients admitted from Jan.2002 to Dec.2007 were screened,60 patients who fulfiHed the inclusion criteria were enrolled,and these patients were divided into two groups according to the level of serum triglyeeride and disease severity respectively.Patients whose serum level of triglyeeride>11.3 mmoVL were defined as severe hyperlipidemia group.while those patients whose serum level of triglyceride between 5.65~11.3 mmol/L with milky serliiH were defined as mild hyperlipidemia group.Patients were classified into mild acute pancreatitis(MAP) and Severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) groups according to the disease severity.The etiology and clinical characteristics in all patients were investigated. Results There were 13 patients in severe hyperlipidemia group,47 patients in mild hyperlipidemia group.5 patients(38.5%)in Severe hyperlipidemia group had history of acute pancreatitis,which wag significantly higher than that of mild hyperlipidemia group(10.6%,P<0.05).The etiology was mainly biliary diseases in the mild hyperlipidemia group,and mainly hyperlipidemia in the severe hyperlipidemia group.The levels of total cholesterol and triglyceride was(8.17±2.76)mmol/L and(13.47±4.12)mmol/L,which were significantly higher than(4.97±1.67)mmol/L and(4.09±2.18)mmol/L of mild hyperlipidemia group(P< 0.01).The Serum amylase,gluc08e,TG,Tc and duration of relief of abdominal pain were(1396±2233) U/L.(14.17±8.37)mmol/L,(7.69±6.56)mol/L,(5.39±3.58)mmol/L and(6.30±3.27)d, respectively,in SAP group;and the corresponding values were(831±1348)U/L,(8.28±3.89)mmol/L, (5.55±3.92)moVL,(5.64±1.79)mol/L and(4.29±2.62)d in MAP group;only the values ofglucose and duration of relief of abdominal pain were statistically different(P<0.05).Conclusions The recurrence rate of acute panereatitis was hisher in patients with severe hyperlipdemia;the severity of hyperlipdemia Was closely associated with the development of acute pancreatitis,but not the severity of acute pancreatitis.

The reproduction of Helicoverpa armigera nucleopolyhedrovirus in the midgut epithelia cells and the other sensitive tissues was observed by electron microscopy. The reproducing viruses in the midgut epithelia cells were mostly without envelopes, and thte polyhedrons were seldom formed. The reproduciing viruses in the other sensitive cells were with envelopes, and packed in polyhedrons.

Objective To investigate etiology and clinical features of acute pancreatitis (AP) in young patients. Methods In total, 423 patients with AP admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan, Hubei province during January 2006 to December 2009 were retrospectively analyzed, 55 cases aged 34 years or less as young group and another 55 cases aged more than 34 years as middle- and elderly-age group. Their etiology, clinical features and illness scores based on some standard criteria were assessed. Results Proportion of varied etiologies of AP in young group was different from that in middle- and elderly-age one (x2 = 17. 107, P = 0. 009) , mainly as biliary and idiopathic pancreatitis in young group and as biliary and alcoholic pancreatitis in middle- and elderly-age one. Incidence of diet-related and idiopathic pancreatitis were higher in young group than that in middle- and elderly-age one ( x2 =4. 853, P = 0. 028 and x2=4. 274, P = 0. 039 ). Scores of the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II ( APACHE II ) , Ranson criteria and the bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis ( BISAP) were all lower in young group than those in middle- and elderly-age one (t = 5. 381 , P = 0. 000; t = 4. 388 , P = 0. 000 and t=3. 083, P = 0. 003 ) . There was no statistically significant difference in scores of computed tomography severity index ( CTSI) between young group and middle- and elderly-age one (t = ±0. 750, P > 0. 05 ) . Recurrence rate of AP was lower in young group than that in middle- and elderly-age one ( x2 =4. 251, P = 0. 039). Cholecystitis was more complicated in young group, pregnancy was more complicated in young group (x2 =4. 151 , P =0. 042) , and elevated blood glucose was more complicated in middle- and elderly-age one (x2 = 13. 285 , P = 0. 000 ) . Conclusions Etiology of AP varies in young patients with more dietary factors, occurrence of systemic complications and risks for death are lower in young group than those in middle- and elderly-age one, and there was no statistically significant difference in local complications and severity of illness between the two groups.

BACKGROUND:Animal experiments have repeatedly verified that umbilical cord stem celltransplantation can improve the rotational behavior of rats with Parkinson’s disease, with lower immune rejection response.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the therapeutic effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem celltransplantation in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease using the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale.
METHODS:Fifteen patients with Parkinson’s disease were enrol ed, including 8 males and 7 females, aged 52-76 years. Hoehn&Yahr staging was 3-5. After informed consent was obtained from puerperae and the procedure was approved by the hospital ethics committee, ful-term maternal umbilical cord was aseptical y col ected, to culture umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. Al patients were hospitalized, and treated with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem celltransplantation via carotid artery puncture. Neurological function of patients was assessed using a comprehensive rating scale for Parkinson’s disease before and 1 month after cells transplantation. Higher score indicated more severe neurological deficits.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Fifteen patients entered the result analysis. Compared with before transplantation, 15 patients showed significantly lowered scores on the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale at 1 month after transplantation (P<0.05). The improvement was mainly concentrated in the tremor and rigidity, but bradykinesia and unstable position were not improved. Graft versus host disease did not occur in al 15 cases. These findings indicate that umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem celltransplantation for treating Parkinson’s disease has obvious curative effects and significantly improves neurological functions.

Objective To establish the fingerprints of 20 batches of Lavandula Angustifolia by HPLC. Methods The determination was performed on a Phenomenex ODS-A column (250 mm× 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase was in gradient elute mode with a mixture consisting of acetonitrile and 0.036 mol/L phosphate acid solution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min. The temperature was 30 °C. The determine wavelength was 350 nm. The fingerprints of 20 batches of Lavandula Angustifolia were compared and classified by similarity evaluation, cluster analysis, and principal composition analysis. Results Totally 10 chromatographic peaks were extracted as the common peaks of Lavandula Angustifolia, and 2 peaks were identified. The similarity degrees of the 20 batches of Lavandula Angustifolia were above 0.9. All the batches of Lavandula Angustifolia were classified into 3 categories. Conclusion The method is simple and reproducible, and can be used for the standardization and quality control of Lavandula Angustifolia.
