Objective To compare the oil yield of celery seeds and the contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and the total phthalocyanine lactones of celery seed oil extracted by different methods. Methods Three routine extraction methods involving organic solvent extraction, Soxhlet extraction, steam distillation extraction, as well as subcritical extraction method and supercritical fluid extraction method were used to extract the celery seed oil. The contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and total phthalocyanine lactones were respectively detected by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) and ultraviolet visible spectrophotometry. Results The ranges of oil yield and the contents of 3-n-butylphthalide and total phthalocyanine lactones of celery seed oil extracted by different methods were 0.30%-20.02%, 1.40%-10.13%, 4.74%-17.65%, respectively, indicating obvious differences. Conclusion With R134a and butane as the solvents, the subcritical extraction method is better than other extraction methods for the extraction of 3-n-butylphthalide. With dimethyl ether as the solvent, the subcritical extraction method is the best for the extraction of total phthalocyanine lactones.

Objective To explore scanning technique in 64-slice spiral CT angiography, and to evaluate the clinical value of various of post-processing methods.Methods 45 patients were examined with CT angiography, including 4 cases of thoracic aorta, 15 cases of abdominal aorta,10 cases of pulmonary artery, which delay time was determined by bolus tracking. The delay time of others ,including 4 cases of cerebrovascular, 6 cases of cervicum blood vessel and 6 cases of lower limb artery were determined by artifical. The initial images were processed with MPR, CPR, MIP ,SSD and VRT.Results According to standard valuation of imaging quality ,the good images were 37 cases, the better were 8 cases and none was bad.Conclusion As far as the diagnosis of great vessels is concerned, 64-slice spiral CTA can instead of DSA. MIP and VRT are important methods in post-processing of image.

Objective To investigate the imaging features of dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica (DEH).Methods Thirteen cases of DEH confirmed by pathology (between 1.5 to 19.0 years old)underwent X-ray scan.Additionally,CT scan was performed in one patient,MR scan was performed in one,and CT and MR scan were both performed in one.Results The lesions all occurred in lower limb.There were 32 lesions,and multiple lesions were detected in 8 cases.Lesions involved holo-epiphyses in 6 cases,Twenty-three lesions were in the medial limbs,3 were in the lateral limb.With Azouz classification,the limited form was identified in 5 cases,while the classic form was identified in 8 cases.Among 13 cases,there were 4 cases with ankle eversion,3 cases with the knock knee,2 cases with the ankle inversion,and 2 cases with the strephexopodia.The metaphysis of 8 cases were widened and deformed,and the provisional zone of calcification of 1case disappeared partly and the epiphysis closed prematurely.Conclusions One or multiple eccentric enlarged ossification center of unilateral or bilateral limb is the imaging feature of DEH.There is sporadic calcification or ossification on the prophase.The calcification or ossification can fuse each other to form agglomerate at the advanced stage.The bone can deform and shift when compressed by the mass,and bone defect can even occur.

Objective To investigate the effects of variable sample preparation about sialy LewisA/X on the surface of colon carcinoma cells.Methods Human colon carcinoma cell suspension was prepared by using EDTA,trypsin,cell scraper,trypsin-EDTA and trypsin-cell scraper.Cell counts and sialy-LewisA/X on the surface of colon carcinoma cells were detected by flow cytometry.Results Trypsin made fluorescence intensity of sialy-LewisA/X on the surface of colon carcinoma cells become weaken.Fluorescence intensity of sialy-LewisA/X had no significant deviation among EDTA,cell scraper and trypsin-cell scraper.Cell counts were multitude in EDTA group or trypsin-cell scraper group.Conclusion Trypsin-cell scraper is a available approach on preparing cell suspension of adherent cell.

Objective To observe the effect of external use of Curcuma oil on the hyperplasia of mammary glands in rats and explore the mechanism. Methods Sixty female Wistar rats were randomly divided into following groups:normal con-trol group, model control group, Sanjierubi plaster group, low-, medium- and high-dose curcuma oil emulsion groups ( n=10 each).The models of hyperplasia of mammary glands were established by intramuscular injection of estradiol benzoate and proges-terone into the medial part of the rat hind limb.Different doses of medicines were given for 4 consecutive weeks.Enzyme-linked im-munosorbent assay, HE staining and immunohistochemistry were used to investigate the action mechanism of curcuma oil emulsion against mammary gland hyperplasia. Results Curcuma oil emulsion had preventive and therapeutic effects on the hyperplasia of mammary glands.The diameter of breasts was significantly reduced, the body weight restored, serum estradiol, follicle-stimulating hormone and prolactin levels profoundly decreased, progesterone, testosterone and luteinizing hormone levels markedly increased and the number and diameter of lobular acini obviously reduced in high-dose curcuma oil emulsion group when compared with those in model control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Curcuma oil emulsion can remarkably improve the disturb-ance of serum hormones and inhibit the occurrence of hyperplasia of mammary glands.
