Growth factor starts a new epoch of the research and application of wound healing, and the effect of the combination of Chinese tradition medicine and biomedicine in wound healing is still in the discussion.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect in promoting wound healing of rats with bletilla colloid, a Chinese herbal medicine, as a carrier of exogenous high molecular weight nerve growth factor (HMW-NGF).DESIGN: The single sample observation was adopted in the identification of activities of HMW-NGF; The randomized control experiment with animal as subjects was adopted in the observation of the effect of the HMW-NGF mixed with the bletilla colloid as a carrier in promoting wound healing.SETTING: Department of Orthopaedics, Shenzhen Buji People's Hospital,and Department of Orthopaedics, Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: Forty SD rats aged 90-120 days of either gender were employed, with the body mass of 220-280 g; The freeze dried preparation of cattle seminal fluid with HMW-NGF with 1mg each.METHODS: From September 2001 to December 2004, the experiment was carried out in the Department of Orthopaedics in Shenzhen Buji People's Hospital and Central Laboratory of Department of Orthopaedics in Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Huazhong University of Science and Technolcolloid, HMW-NGF, HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid were added into the serum-free medium (SFM), and the influences of them on the dorsal root lected and divided into 4 groups with 10 rats in each group. The rats of normal control group had no medicine on the wound. In the bletilla colloid group, the HMW-NGF group and the HMW-NGF+bletilla colloid group, incision size 2 cm was made at the back of each rat, and bletilla colloid,HMW-NGF, HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid were applied respectively on the wound, once per day. The wound area was measured at day 3 and 10 after treatment, and the wound area was calculated by the image analysator. The category and the quantity of the emigrated cells were observed with light microscope, and the healing time of the wound was observed.tion under light microscope.the DRG of chick embryo was cultured, the reaction of evection growth around the ganglion in the HMW-NGF, HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid with the dilution desity of 1:106-1: 108 was most significant, which was not seen in healing with HMW-NGF + bletilla colloid was significantly increased as compared with that in normal control group, the bletilla colloid group and the The healing time of the wound of the normal control group, the bletilla colloid group and the HMW-NGF group and the HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid group were (19.5±0.7), (17.3±0.6), ( 16.6±0.7 )and ( 14.9±0.4 ) days respecvation of cut sheets 3 days after treatment: The quantity of polymorphonuclear leucocytes, histoleueocyteand fibroblast in the bletilla colloid group,the HMW-NGF group and the HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid group were significantly larger than that in the normal control group, and the micrangium could be seen in the HMW-NGF group and the HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid group. The observation of cut sheets 10 days after treatment: The granulation tissue in the HMW-NGF group and the HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid group was compacter and had more micrangium as compared with the normal control group and the bletilla colloid group.CONCLUSION: HMW-NGF+ bletilla colloid has significant effect on promoting the healing of the wound at the earlier and later period, and the effect is better than that of bletilla colloid or HMW-NGF.

NG-nitro-D-arginine (D-NNA) produced pressor responses in rats by acting via chiral inversion intoNG-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA), an inhibitor of nitro oxide synthase. The present investigation aimed to study the roleof the D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) in chiral inversion of D-NNA and the relationship between DAAO activitieson various D-amino acids and their inversion rate. Benzoate (400 mg/kg) or creatinine (400 mg/kg), two inhibitorsof DAAO, blocked D-NNA-induced pressor responses in rats. Furthermore, the addition of the pure DAAOsignificantly potentiates L-NNA production rate in kidney homogenates by approximately 2-folds. The in vivo andin vitro results suggested that DAAO plays an essential role in the pressor responses elicited by D-NNA.Moreover, crude DAAO solution from the kidney showed marked selection (the maximal ratio of Kcat/Km wasnearly 15 times) on different D-amino acids that exhibited similar chiral inversion rate in vivo, suggesting that otherenzymes, such as transaminase, are also required for the entire process of D-NNA chiral inversion.

Objective To compare the clinical therapeutic effect of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) in improving walking function in stroke patients.Methods Thirty-six stroke patients satisfying the enrolling criterion of the research were randomly divided into two groups:FES group and AFO group (n =18 in each).Both groups received the same routine rehabilitation therapy and medical treatment.Patients of FES group received FES of common peroneal nerve and tibialis anterior muscle of the affected limb,30 min per day,5 days per week,4 weeks in total,while the patients of AFO group received walking training with AFO wearing on,30 min per day,5 days per week,4 weeks in total.Walking function was assessed by 10-meter maximum walking speed,timed-up and go test (TUGT),functional ambulation category(FAC),the muscle tension of ankle flexor and Brunnstrom stage,which were carried out before treatment and four weeks after treatment.Results Before treatment,there was no significant difference between the two groups for the baseline of measurement(P ＞ 0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,10MWT,TUGT,FAC scores and Brunnstrom stages in the two groups significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).The 10MWT,FAC scores and Brunnstrom stage increased more significantly in FES group than those in AFO group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant differences with regard to TUGT and the muscle tension of ankle flexor between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Both FES and AFO can accelerate the recovery of walking function in hemiplegia patients.FES can improve the walking ability in patients with stroke more significantly.

A postulated suppression of T lymphocyte function by clonidine (an adrenogic receptor agonist) was explored by utilizing mitogen induced lymphocyte transformation of mouse spleen cells in vitro. Added at the onset of the culture or 24h later, clonidine (10-(?)-10-8 M ) did not suppress T lymphocyte transformation induced by ConA or PHA. It implies that there is a difference in the sensitivity for clonidine between T and B lymphocyte, as clonidine has been suggested to suppress the SRBC induced primary immune response of mouse spleen cells in a dose dependent manner.
