The determination was carried out with acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid(10∶90) as the mobile phase,a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min and detected at 238 nm,and temperature of the column was 35 ℃. Results The calibration curve showed good linearity in the range of 0.14～1.68 ?g,Y =1 552.15X-6.42,r=0.999 9. The mean recovery was 97.53%(RSD=1.24%,n =6). Conclusion The method is accurate,reliable,and can be used for quality control of the preparation.

Objective To investigate the association between renin-like activity (RA) and angiotensin Ⅱ (AⅡ) and the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). Methods Blood samples were taken from 42 patients undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). According to the ovarian stimulating response, the patients were divided into 4 groups: group Ⅰ, low responders, 7 cases; group Ⅱ, moderate responders, 8 cases; group Ⅲa high responders without using albumin, 7 cases, group Ⅲb, high responders with albumin, 10 cases; group Ⅳ, severe and moderate OHSS, 10 cases. 5 patients for intrauterin insemination with natural cycle as control. Follicular fluid (FF) was collected at oocyte retrieval from 28 IVF patients (including 7 OHSS patients). Fluid from ascites and hydrothorax was obtained from 3 OHSS patients, and peritoneal fluid obtained from 5 infertility patients by laparoscopy and ascitic fluid obtained from 6 ovarian carcinoma patients served as control. RA and AⅡ levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. Results plasma RA and AⅡ levels at mid-luteal phase from OHSS patients [(19.9?19.0)?g?L -1 ?h -1 and (397.0?378.2) ng/L] were significantly higher than those from the other patients ( P

Astrocytes play many important roles in the nervous system.In recent years,researchers are paying attention to the roles of astrocytes in the process of stroke.This article mainly reviews the biological functions of astrocytes and the gene expression changes of astrocytes after ischemic stroke,thereby providing new potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is an important link of bone metabolism and bone repair, the mechanism of which is usually complicated. Recent studies have found that BMP, FGF, Wnt, Hedgehog, NELL1, IGF, Notch and othersignaling molecules are involved in the regulation of osteogenic differentiation of MSCs. These signaling molecules themselves have been shown to have a strong ability to promote osteogenic differentiation. They can activate the corresponding receptors by specific ligands, thus initiating the specific signal transduction pathways in the cell, and finally promote the transcription and translation of the genes related to bone formation. Furthermore, all the signaling pathways form a complex network which regulates and influences the osteogenic differentiation ofMSCs. Further researches on the mechanism of the interaction of these signaling pathways is of great significance in promoting the development of bone tissue engineering and the treatment of bone metabolic diseases.

TrkB was designated as the functional receptor of br ain derived neurotrophic factor． In these study, we investigated the distributi on of trkB-like immunoreactivity(trkB-IR) in spinal cord of adult cats using spe cific antiserum for trkB by immunohistochemistry ABC method． The results were a s following: trkB-IR was mainly distributed in neurons of spinal cord including ventrolateral horn, intermedius are and dorsal horn． 　　 The subcellular localization of positiveproduct was mainly in cytoplasm． Our results provided morphological evidence on the distribution of trkB in spinal cord of adult cats． It indicated the role o f trkB involve in physiological function of spinal cord of adult cat．

Objective To investigate the factor relateted to the prognosis in HFRS patients with ARF oliguresis stage and the applied chance of hemodiaglysis in HFRS patients. Methods 46 cases of HFRS patients with ARF, with hemodiaglysis applied hospitalized in the department of infectious disease of Luohe centre hospital during 1996 to 2004 were retrospectively investigated and the factor related to the prognosis were analyzed,divided into three groups:successful group,delayed group, died group, and 14 sorts of clinical factors and common lab test items compared. Results Between live groups, the following factors are statistics value,such as the age, platelet,serum albution before HD,frequency of HD and the days of oliguresis stage, the difference of the other factors such as chance of HD,laboratory indicators and complication occuring rate of are no notable. The age of died group is in one′s prime, died in 3 hospitalized days, given HD only 1~2 times,so,chance of HD and days of oliguresis stage were without comparing value,but,the rate of acute complication is 100 percent,the difference is notable.Conclusions The influence of HD time is no notable,and, to prevent acute complication before HD is the key factor relateted to the prognosis.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the identification of Chongqing local medicinal material Heracleum hemsley-anum. METHODS:The original plant morphology,morphological characteristics,microscopic characteristics (transverse section and powder),were identified. RESULTS:H. hemsleyanum had cone shape root,brown,many-branched with special fragrance;the microscopic characteristics of taproot a transverse showed no differences with lateral root transverse section,primary xylem was di-arch,secondary phloem was more developed than secondary xylem,secondary phloem was rich in the oil chamber. Vascular tissues contained a large number of parenchyma cells. In TLC chromatrogram,the test sample showed the same color fluorescent spots with-the substance reference of osthole and columbianadin in the corresponding locations. CONCLUSIONS:The established method is simple with high accuracy,and can be used as the basis for identification of H. hemsleyanum.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for curriculum setting for postgraduates majoring in Science of Chinese materia medica. METHODS:The curriculum setting for postgraduates majoring in Science of Chinese materia medica was comprehensively analyzed from the aspects of the regional differences and unique differences of curriculum setting and correlation of curriculum set-ting combined with professional interest of students,actual needs of the professional field and relevant circumstances of industry de-velopment. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The curriculum setting exists regional differences and unique differences. It should show positive correlation with professional interest of students,actual needs of the professional field and relevant circumstances of industry development.

To improve the status of management in respiratory failure in China,the project of Study on Pathogenesis and Treatment of Respiratory Failure was designed and conducted by three medical centers(Beijing Institute of Respiratory Medicine-Beijing Chaoyang Hospital,Affiliated to Capital Medical University,Zhongshang Hospital-Fudan University,Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Medicine-First Guangzhou Medical College)for more than ten years.This project was focused on pathogenesis and treatment strategies of respiratory failure and achieved the following important innovations:(1)Pulmonary Infection Control Window(PIC Window)was firstly proposed and used to determine the time switching point of sequential invasive-noninvasive ventilation;(2)The largest sample size of early use of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation(NPPV)for acute exacerbated COPD(AECOPD)on general ward provided the evidence-based data for expanding the indication of NPPV from treating respiratory failure to alleviating respiratory muscle fatigue;(3)Three new types of masks with intellectual property for NPPV were developed;(4)Designing of intrinsic expiratory end positive pressure(PEEPi)lung model with property of expiratory flow limitation confirmed that PEEPi was the most important factor that increased inspiratory difficulty;(5)The systematic measurement was established for diaphragm strength and endurance;(6)Aquaporin 1(AQP1)was firstly proved the key channel of fluid transportation in the lung;(7)A multicenter prospective cohort study provided objective data that depression had causal effect on COPD exacerbation and hospitalization;(8)Two guidelines for NPPV and mechanical ventilation of AECOPD were initiated by this group.This project has been widely used in clinical practice and promoted the research and treatment of respiratory failure in China.
