OBJECTIVE:To optimize the ethanol precipitation condition for Shaoshi hujing capsules.METHODS:The content of Paeoniflorin in ethanol precipitated solution was determined by HPLC.Effects of three factors-relative density of water decoction before decoction,concentration of ethanol and time of reaction on the content of paeoniflorin in the ethanol precipitation were investigated by orthogonal design.RESULTS:The relative density of water decoction before decoction had a significant impact on ethanol precipitation(P

Objective To study the effect of baicalin on the content of glutamate acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), ?-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the brain of rat with experimental intracerebral hemorrhage. Methods The intracerebral hemorrhage rat model was induced by collagen enzyme + heparin sodium. The rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group and high, middle, low dose group of baicalin. Rats were treated with the physiological saline and different concentration of baicalin respectively. The brain of each group was taken out three days later and the brain homogenate was prepared. The content of Glu, Asp and GABA was measured with the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results Compared with the sham group, the levels of Asp were obviously higher (P0.05) in each dose group of baicalin. Compared with the sham group, the contents of Glu were increased obviously (P

The effects of reaction temperature, pH, substrate and enzyme concentration, deacetylation degree of chitosan on the hydrolytic velocity of chitosan by Lysozyme were investigated. The results showed that the specificity of catalyst obey the dynamics of michae-lis-Menten. The optimum temperature and pH were 50℃ and 6. 0 respectively, the reaction velocity was reduced while the deacetylation degree of chitosan was raised. The mean molecular weight of low molecular chitosan has been determined by high performance liquid chro-matography method, the mean molecular weight was 8328.

Objective:To assess the vision-related quality of life(VRQoL) of the patients with simple vitreous hemorrhage after vitrectomy and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:A scale of life quality for patients with visual impairment(AQoL-DVI) were administered to 96 patients before and 6 months following vitrectomy.Scale scores were compared with vison preoperatively and postoperatively.Results:The lowest scores were at the item of "social life" and "spiritual and psychological status" before the surgery.The scores of the questionnaires increased significantly after vitrectomy.The change of visual acuity after surgery was a chief independent factor of the changes of questionnaire scores due to vitrectomy.Conclusion:The quality of life of patients with simple vitreous hemorrhage decreases sharply.VRQoL improves obviously after vitrectomy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical efficacy of cannulated screw fixation with percutaneous Poking reduction for the treatment of Sanders II, III calcaneal fracture.

METHODSFrom January 2012 to January 2014, 19 patients with Sanders II, III calcaneal fracture were treated with cannulated screw fixation with percutaneous Poking reduction. There were 14 males and 5 females, ranging in age from 19 to 58 years old, with an average age of (38.3 +/- 4.1) years old. The changes of Bohler angle and Gissane angle were measured and compared preoperatively and postoperatively to observe the recovery of the articular surface. The Maryland Foot Score was used to evaluate operation outcomes.

RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 12 to 28 months with a mean of (22.3 +/- 5.3) months. The Bohler angle and Gissane angle were improved significantly after operation compared with those before operation (P < 0.05). The Maryland score was 83.2 +/- 8.4.

CONCLUSIONTreatment of calcaneal fractures with screw fixation with percutaneous Poking reduction has several advantages such as satisfactory outcome,less damage, fewer complications, quicker recovery, and shorter hospital stay,and it is one of the effective treatments for Sanders II and III calcaneal fractures.

Aim To observe the effects of borneol on the pharmacokinetics of carbamazepine(CBZ) and 10,11-epoxide carbamazepine(ECBZ) in rabbits.Methods After ig administration of bornol and CBZ,the CBZ and ECBZ were determined with HPLC,then the pharmacokinetic parameters were obtained with 3P87 program on computer.Results In the CBZ-borneol combination group,the pharmacokinetic parameters of CBZ,T_(12(ka)),T_(peak) and AUC were increased,while Ka and CL were decreased.The parameters of ECBZ,T_(12(ke)) and T_(peak) were increased,while Ke was decreased.The ratio of CSF to plasma of ECBZ at the time of 0.5,1,2 hour after ig was increased.Conclusion Borneol significantly improved the bioavailability of CBZ,inhibited the metabolism of CBZ,and enhanced the ECBZ passing through blood brain barrier.

Objective To study the correlation between serum adiponectin along with insulin resistanee and vascular dilation function in patients with different rates of glucose metabolism.Method A total of 83 patients aged 50-65 years,including 17 with normal glucose tolerance(NGT),22 with impaired fasting glucose (IFG),23 with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT)and 21 with diabetes(DM)were enrolled. Serum adiponectin was measured,and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR)and B cell function index were used to evaluate the function of insulin secretion before and during oral glucose tolerance test(OGTr).The brachial artery responses to flow-mediated endothelium-dependent vascular dilation(EDVD)and nitroglycerin-mediated vascular dilation (EIVD) were evaluated by using the vascular ultrasound with high resolution.Results The serum adiponectin and EDVD decreased that the degrees of reduction from slightness to greatness were in turn from NGT,IFG,IGT to DM,whereas,the insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) increased just in reverse order.Adiponectin was negatively associated with HOMA-IR(r=-0.353,P<0.01)but positively associated with EDVD and EIVD(rl=0.391,r2=0.375,P<0.01),and was not associated with HOMA-B.On the other hand,EDVD was not associated with HOMA-IR(P>0.05).In a multiple regression analysis with a stepwise manner to predict adiponectin concentration and EDVD.HOMA-IR was supposed to predict adiponectin concentration.Meanwhile APN but not HOMA-IR was used to predict EDVD(P<0.05).Condusions The decrease in serum adiponectin,endothelial dysfunction and insulin resistance can be observed in the early stage of impaired glucose metabolism. Serum adiponectin concentration appears to be associated with vascular function and insulin resistance.The association between serum adiponectin concentration and vascular function seems to be independence from its link with insulin resistance index.

Objective To discuss the principle and the value of pereutanous microwave ablation for benign focal liver lesions. Methods Fourteen patients with 15 benign focal liver lesions received percutanous microwave ablation with 15G cool-tip microwave antenna. The maximum diameter of lesion was (26.2±13.6)mm (10 - 57 mm). Results Treatment sessions and total treatment time for single lesion were 1.4±0. 5 (1- 2) and (837±574)s (300- 2057 s). Follow-up range was 1- 35 months (median 6 months). The hepatic lesions were covered by coagulation necrosis region of ablation completely in all cases on contrast-enhanced at 1 month after ablation. The area of coagulation necrosis of ablation decreased on follow-up imaging in patients with more than 3 months follow-up. No complications happened in all cases. Side effects include pain (12/14) and fever (8/14) lasting I -9 days. The increase of serum transaminase decreased to normal at 1 week after ablation. Conclusions Percutanous microwave ablation has the merit of safety,minimal invasion, good ablation result and low incidence of side effect. Under the precondition of eareful choice of indication,pereutanous microwave ablation can be a selective treatment method for benign focal liver lesions.
