AIM: To establish a method of determing prim-o-glucasylcimifugin,5-o-methylvisammiosode,gardenoside quantitatively in Huoxiang Gingwei Granules(Herba Pogostemonis,Fructus Gardeniae,Radix Saposhnikoviae,etc.). METHODS: Three components were determined by HPLC in the same chromatographic condition(Column: Shimadzu VP-ODS 250 mm?4.60 mm,5 ?m;mobile phase: acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid gradient elution;flow rate: 1.0 mL/min: column temperature: at 30 ℃). RESULTS: Prim-o-glucasylcimifugin showed a good linear relationship at the range of 26.0-390 ng,r=(0.999 9),the average recovery was 101.7% and RSD was 1.1%.5-o-methylvisammiosode showed a good linear relationship at the range of 21.5-322.2 ng,r=(0.999 9),the average recovery was 101.9% and RSD was 1.1%.Gardenoside showed a good linear relationship at the range of 47.1-706.5 ng,r=(0.999 9),the average recovery was 101.6% and RSD was 1.1%.(CONCLUSION):() The established method can provide the content determination of 3 ingriedents at the same test condition and be used for the quality control of Huoxiang Qingwei Granules.

Objective To evaluate reformative encircling constriction combined with the retrograde venograms in operation for treating primary deep venous insufficiency. Methods The clinical data of 25 cases (29lower extremities) undergoing primary deep venous insufficiency from March 1998 to December 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. 25 eases(29 lower extremities) were treated with reformative encircling constriction combined with the retrograde venograms in operations. Results 25 eases were treated with reformative encircling constriction combined with the retrograde venograms in operations,the leg swelling improved and no deep vein thrombus occurred; all the varicose veins are welt controlled. Conclusion Reformative encircling constriction operations are eutherapeutic for severe femoral venous valve dysfunction, when combined with the retrograde venogram, it can be a guidance in encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein and number of femoral venous valves.

Combined with the clinical practice of Xi'an Eye Bank for over four decades,this article focuses on the ethical issues related to the practice of eye bank,such as voluntary cornea donation free of charge,the relationship between donors and recipients,the choice of operation indication and application of heterogeneous cornea,in order to promote the all-round development of eye bank system.

OBJECTIVETo observe blood uric acid levels and Goldstein grading, as well as their correlation in Wilson's disease (WD) patients with different Chinese medical syndrome types.

METHODSTotally 906 WD patients in line with inclusive criteria were assigned to 6 groups, i.e., the heart spirit confused by phlegm group (HSCP, 26 cases), the phlegm-fire disturbing heart group (PFDH, 90 cases), the retention of damp-heat group (RDH, 113 cases), deficiency of qi and blood group (DQB, 168 cases), the deficiency of Gan-yin and Shen-yin group (DGYSY, 327 cases), the deficiency of Gan and Shen group (DGS, 182 cases) due to different Chinese medical syndrome types. Recruited were another 160 healthy subjects having similar ages and diet structures, who came for medical examinations, as the healthy control group. Venous blood was collected from the medial cubital vein of each-patient on an empty stomach in early mornings to detect blood uric acid levels. Results Blood uric acid levels were lower in each syndrome type group than in the healthy control group (146.08 +/- 67.24 micromol/L in the HSCP group; 157.08 +/- 69.77 micromol/L in the PFDH group; 162.58 +/- 97.72 micromol/L in the RDH group; 156.20 +/- 62.63 micromol/L in the DQB group; 161.83 +/- 111.23 micromol/L in the DGYSY group; 194.41 +/- 90.01 micromol/L in the DGS group; 242.39 +/- 87.55 micromol/L in the healthy control group, P < 0.01). Blood uric acid levels were higher in the DGYSY group than in the other 5 syndrome groups (P < 0.01). Correlation analyses between Goldstein grading and blood uric acid showed that, along with increased Goldstein grade (that was aggravating disease conditions), WD patients' blood uric acid levels decreased (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSWD patient's blood uric acid levels decreased more. Blood uric acid levels and Goldstein grading were different in various Chinese medical syndrome types. Blood uric acid levels had certain value in assessing the severity of WD.

Through dissertating the current status and trend in efficacy evaluation of traditional and Western medicine for treatment of heart failure, aiming at the difference between TCM and Western medicine in efficacy evaluation and existent problems for diagnosis and treatment of heart failure. The authors proposed to establish a method for evaluating TCM clinical studies, a systematic method and thinking of indexes rating, depending upon the guidance of clinical methodologies of systematology, clinical epidemiology and evidence-based medicine, to make the efficacy evaluation founded upon the superiority of TCM and meeting to the international requisition, thus to facilitate the goingahead of TCM to the world.
