ObjectiveTo study the protective effects of Qiqiong(QQJN) on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and its mechanism. MethodsMiddle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) was used to make focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model by intravascular nylon filament occlusion. The protective effects of QQJN were evaluated by investigating neurological function score, percentage of cerebral infarction, pathomorphology of brain, the activity of SOD and the content of MDA in hrain tissue,thrombogenesis and platelet aggregation in vitro. ResultsCompared with model group, QQJN(4.4、8.8g/kg)could decrease the neurological score in 8 and 22h after reperfusion, reduce the percentage of cerebral infauction,improve pathomorphology of brain, decrease the length, wet weight and dry weight of thromb and inhibit platelet aggregation. ConclusionQQJN had protective effects on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. The role of anti-injury of free radicals,inhibit thrombogenesis and platelet aggregation should contribute to its neuroprotective effects.

Objective:To evaluate the difference of vestibular compensation between triple semicircular canal occlusion(TCO) and labyrinthectomy(LE)in guinea pigs.Material and Methods:TCO was performed on 8 guinea pigs,while LE was did on 7 guinea pigs.Behavior and ENG were recorded in detail preoperatively and repeatedly up to one month postoperatively according to the experiment design.Results:There was spontaneous nystagmus towards the nonoperated side on the first postoperative day and nystagmus absence during sinusoidal angular acceleration stimuli on the operated side was observed in all the animals.All the animals displayed head tilt towards the operated side (right)and an unsteady gait towards the right along the vertical axis after surgery,while the animals performed LE rolled towards the operated side.On the 3rd postoperative day,faint nystagmus appeared on the operated side,but the left and right nystagmus was significantly asymmetrical.The left and right nystagmus still remained asymmetrical on the 5th and 10th day postoperatively.From the 15th postoperative day,left and right nystagmus returned symmetrical in the animals performed TCO,while left and right nystagmus returned symmetrical only at the pendular amplitude of 120°,150°,180°,in the animals performed LE up to 30th postoperative day.There was a significant reduction of nystagmus to the operated side at the Pendular amplitude of 60°and 90° one month after the LE and there was 3 animals still displayed head tilt towards the operated side.Conclusion: the animals compensated faster and more completely after TCO than LE.

Objective Tracking of the vaginal microflora recovery and the expression of immune factors from untreated and treated patients with bacterial vaginosis (BV) by using different administration regimens and studying the relationship of treatment results and regimen selections. Methods 25 healthy females were selected as a control group and 100 BV patients were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=25/group). Group A: Intravaginal administration of metronidazole (× 7 d), Group B:Continuous intravaginal administration of metronidazole (× 7 d) and then live Lactobacillus Capsule (× 7 d) , Group C: Intravaginal administration of nifuratel (× 7 d), Group D: Continuous intravaginal administration of nifuratel (× 7 d) and then live Lactobacillus Capsule (×7 d). The microecological assessment system and EILSA were used to compare the clinical efficacy, vaginal microflora recovery and the changes in IL-8, TLR2 and TNF-αof the vaginal lavage fluid in healthy women or patients with bacterial vaginosis before and after treatments by four treatment strategies. Results ① The vaginal microflora imbalance, flora disturbance, pH value increased were presented in BV group compared with the control group.②Compared to the median of IL-8, TLR2 and TNF-α in vaginal lavage fluids of control group, there was no significant difference in IL-8 level but both TLR2 and TNF-αwere significantly increased (P<0.05) in BV group. The immune factors had no significantly difference in all BV groups.③The therapeutic effect in each BV groups was compared after stopping treatment for 7 days. The cure rate and the vaginal microflora recovery rate were significant higher in group B and D than group A and C (P<0.05). ④ After treatment there was no significant change in IL-8 level but there was an obviouslydecrease in TLR2 and TNF-α(P<0.05). The decreased levels are more significant in groups B and D than groups A and C (P<0.05). Conclusion By combining with the microecological assessment system to evaluate the therapeutic effect of BV, our research suggests that the sequence schemes of nifuratel plus live Lactobacillus Capsule is more effective in therapy effect, restoring normal vaginal micro-ecological environment and vaginal local immunity than metronidazole used alone.
