Objective To observe the effects of Purpura decoction and its disassembled prescriptions on peripheral blood reticulated platelets (RP) and serum thrombopoietin (TPO) of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) model mice, to explore the action mechanism and core structure of the prescription. Methods Totally 84 BalB/c mice were randomly divided into normal group, model group, prednisone group, Purpura decoction group, Buyi Qixue group, Buqi Huoxue group and Buxue Huoxue group. ITP mouse model was made by injecting intraperitoneally guinea pig-antimouse platelet serum. From the 5th day of modeling, mice were intragastrically administered. The normal group and model group were fed with normal saline 0.2 mL per mouse. Purpura decoction group was fed with Purpura decoction 0.43 mL per mouse. Buyi Qixue group was fed with Buyi Qixue decoction 0.36 mL per mouse. Buqi Huoxue group was fed with Buqi Huoxue decoction 0.27 mL per mouse. Buxue Huoxue group was fed with Buxue Huoxue decoction 0.3 mL per mouse. Prednisone group was fed with prednisone acetate suspension 0.2 mL per mouse. Ten days later, took the blood from the eyeball and isolated serum, the mouse peripheral platelet, RP and TPO were observed. Results After treatment, the platelet count of treatment groups was improved. Compared with before treatment, Purpura decoction group,Buqi Huoxue group and prednisone group had significant difference in platelet count (P<0.05). The RP of model group was significantly higher than the normal group (P<0.05), but RP absolute value was lower than the normal group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, RP of treatment groups reduced (P<0.05), and RP was negatively correlated with platelet count (P<0.05). TPO level of the model group was higher than that of the normal group (P<0.01). TPO of treatment groups declined significantly, and had significant differences with that of the model group (P<0.05). Conclusion Core structure of Purpura decoction is qi tonifying and blood activating drug. The mechanism of treating ITP is related with lowering RP and TPO.

The concept of humanistic education is based on the concern of human beings and their abilities of development. Thus,it is an educational concept to optimize the teaching modules.It stresses the point that education must regard the develop- ment of human beings as the main line and human beings should be emphasized in education from the very beginning to the end. Case-Teaching Method which takes the students as the main part fully manifests the concept of humanistic education,in which all teaching activities and the processes closely revolve the students in order to train them to carry on their studies and to solve the problems independently.

Background Conventional chemical method to fix the entire eyeball results in the edema of retinal nerve fiber layer and therefore influent the evaluation of tissue structure.Research showed that microwave irradiation can avoid this phenomenon. Objective This study was to investigate the appropriate energy and time duration of microwave irradiation for fixation of rabbit eyes specimen and compare the influence of different fixation methods on retinal structure. Methods Twenty-two New Zealand white rabbits were sacrificed by using venous air embolism.The eyeballs were enucleated from the rabbits and immersed in chemical reagents with glacial acetic acid,methyl aldehyde and chloroform for 2 days as the control group.The eyeballs were immersed in 400 ml physiological balance solution immediately,and then were fixed by microwave irradiation for 80,160,240 and 320 seconds under the lower power as the microwave irradiation groups.In the microwave irradiation+chemical fixation group,the specimens were immersed in chemical reagents for 1-2 hours after the microwave radiation.The morphology of retinal structure was examined and area of retinal detachment was calculated by hemotoxylin and eosin staining under the light microscope. Results A better fixation effect was obtained in the retinal section of microwave radiation for 240 seconds in comparison with that of the traditional chemical reagent fixation method for 2 days.The retina detachment ratio was 16.3%±11.5% for simple microwave method,50.0%±24.5% for chemical method,and 6.7%±7.8% for microwave+chemical method.showing a significant difference among 3 groups(F=32.43,P=0.000).Retinal staining was clear and retinal structure was almost normal in the specimens of microwave+chemical fixation group with 200-240 seeonds microwave irradiation and 1-2 hours chemical fixation. Conclusion Microwave irradiation method is a more ideal way for the fixation of retina because of taking short duration,lower toxicity and better staining.The combination of microwave radiation and chemical reagents can acquire an excellent quality of retinal section.
