OBJECTIVE:To optimize the ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology of total flavonoids from Tibetan Scindapsus aureu. METHODS:The single-factor test was adopted to investigate the effects of extraction time,extraction temperature,the vol-ume fraction of ethanol,the ratio of liquid to solid and power on the extraction rate of total flavonoids from Tibetan Scindapsus au-reu in the process of ultrasonic-assisted extraction,based on which,four-factor and five-level Box-Behnken central component de-sign was performed with unchanged ultrasonic power,and then response surface method was adopted to analyze the effects of the 4 factors and their interaction on the extraction rate of total flavonoids to determine the optimal factor and level,and verification tests were conducted.RESULTS:The optimal ultrasonic-assisted extraction technology was as follows as extraction time of 29 min,tem-perature of 44 ℃,volume fraction of ethanol of 78%,ratio of liquid to solid of 13∶1(ml/g). In three verification tests,the aver-age extraction rate of total flavonoids was 2.130%,with an relative error of 0.005% compared to the theoretical value. CONCLU-SIONS:The optimal technology is reasonable and feasible,and can be used for theultrasonic-assisted extraction of total flavonoids from Tibetan Scindapsus aureu.

The rapid development of human micro-ecology (human microbiome) in recent years has opened up new medical prospects for revealing the close relationship between microorganism and human health and disease.As the second genome of human,the special relationship between the microorganism and the host and its important function have brought new ethical and social problems,which requires to rethink and reform the existing ethical norms.This paper focused on the seven perspectives of “identity”,ownership,informed consent,risk benefit assessment,privacy,commercialization and public health,and demonstrated the importance to construct the ethics of micro-ecological research,which would enrich and expand the connotation of bioethics in theory and better guarantee the benign development of micro-ecology research in practice.

Objective To observe the effects of midazolam and fentanyl on hypertension in senile hypertensive patients.Method 38 cases with moderate primary hypertension were received midazolam and fentanyl during operation .BP,HR,P ET CO 2 and the change of ST segment from the 12-lead simultaneous ECGs were measured and compared respectively. Results Some parameters ,such as BP,HR,RPP have a parallel change during experimental period . There were significant differences in BP,HR,RPP at 5 min before administration then at the time in ward(P0 05). Nearly to reach 120 min after administration, the parameters tend to become uplifted as compared with in 30 and 60 min after administration(P

Objective To investigate the effects of resveratrol on epileptic seizure and cognitive impairment and the role of CREB in rats with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). Methods TLE rat model was established by LiCl?pilocarpine injection and resveratrol was administrated at a dose of 15 mg/(kg · d) for 7 days. The rat behavior was evaluated by Racine scale and the CREB expression and phosphorylation in temporal cortex were detected with western blot. The Morris water maze was used to assess the learning and memory. Results Resveratrol administra?tion significantly reduced the Racine scales of TLE rats. The CREB phosphorylation in TLE group was increased compared with that in control group, which was remarkably inhibited by resveratrol. The escape latency of TLE group was increased at 4th, 5th and 6th day after training, and time in target quadrant was reduced compared with that in control group. Resveratrol significantly decreased latency time and increased target quadrant time of TLE rats. Conclusion In TLE rats, resveratrol administration suppresses epileptic seizure and improves cognitive function, which might be mediated by inhibition of CREB phosphorylation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of CCN1 on the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU .Methods:Colon cancer and adjacent tissues, colon cancer cells and normal colon epithelial cells, HCT-116 and HCT-116/5/FU cells were collected, and the SCD1 mRNA expression levels were detected by RT-qPCR; HCT-116 cells were cultured and transfected with pcDNA3.1 and CCN1 expression vectors, or infected with shNC and shCCN1 lentivirus, CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell sensitivity to 5-FU, Western blot and RT-qPCR were used to detect SCD1 mRNA expression, and oil red O staining was used to detect the lipid content. Western blot was used to detect the distribution of transcription factor FoxO1 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. The effect of CCN1 and FoxO1 on the transcriptional activity of SCD1 promoter was detected by luciferase assay.Results:Compared with control group, the expression of SCD1 was up-regulated in colon cancer tissues, cell lines and HCT-116/5-FU cells (all P<0.05); overexpression of CCN1 reduced the sensitivity to 5-FU, increased intracellular lipid deposition, and up-regulated the expression of SCD1 ( P<0.05); Knockdown of CCN1 increased the sensitivity to 5-FU, reduced intracellular lipid content and down-regulate the expression level of SCD1 ( P<0.05); CCN1 can promote FoxO1 nuclear distribution, activation or inhibition of FoxO1 activity can promote or up-regulate SCD1 expression level and promoter activity ( P<0.05). Conclusion:CCN1 may up-regulate the expression of SCD1 by activating FoxO1 activity and inhibit the sensitivity of colon cancer cells to 5-FU.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of allopurinol in kainic acid-induced epileptic rats and to explore new ideas and methods for the clinical treatment of epilepsy. Methods 120 Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham group, KA epilepsy group and allopurinol groups. Six rats of each group were randomly selected and were given electrodes into their left frontal and hippocampal regions. After injection, behavior changes were observed in all rates without electrodes. 24 h later, MDA level and SOD enzymatic activity of the left hippocampi were measured. One week later, the EEGs were recorded in rates with electrode, as well as total time of seizures /30 min and numbers of seizures / 30 min. Results Compared with the KA model group, latency period of the epilepsy in the allopurinol group was longer (P < 0.05) and the extent was lighter (P < 0.05); the MDA level was significantly lower (P < 0.01), the SOD enzymatic activity was significantly higher (P < 0.01). The total time of seizures / 30min and numbers of seizures / 30 min in allopurinol group reduced significantly (P < 0.01). Conclusion Allopurinol has potential antiepileptic and antioxidative activities in kainic acid-induced epileptic rats.

Objective To provide guidance for patients and enhance their trust in the hospital by achieving openness and transparency in medical fees. Methods The modular structure of the three-tiered process was employed and various information machines, inquiry devices and doctors' workstations were connected to the Hospital Information System to form an integrated inquiry system of hospital-wide coverage. Results The Hospital Information System, with its versatile functions, easy operation, strong compatibility and good reliability, could provide patients with accurate information and more convenience. Conclusion The Hospital Information System can meet different needs of all patients.
