Artesunate ( Art ) is one of the derivatives of Qinghaosu ( Arte-misinin ), an effective and nontoxic new drug from the traditional Chinese medicine Qinghao ( Artemisia annua L. ).We observed a striking protection of Art against acute liver inju-ries induced by Acetaminophen(AAP)and CC14 in mice. The elevated serum transminase levels and liver lesions were reduced by Art given 100mg/kg or 200mg/kg ip to mice. Art also inhibited AAP-induced decrease of liver glycogen and reduced mortality in AAP-treated mice. In addition, Art markedly decreased the duration of the hypnosis of sodium pen tobarbital in mice, suggesting a stimulatory effect of Art on hepatic-metabolizing enzymes.

Objective To observe the expression of polysialic acid-neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) in the rat hippocampus after infrasound exposure. Methods Ninety-six Sprague-Dawley rats were random-ized into a 16 Hz 130 dB infrasound exposure group (n =72) and a control group (n =24). Rats of the infrasound exposure group were exposed to 16 Hz 130 dB infrasound in a barochamber 2 h/d for 1, 7, 14 and 21 d. The rats' brains were removed and immunohistochemieal methods were used to detect the expression of PSA-NCAM in the hip-pocampus on the 1st, 7th, 14th, and 21st day during treatment and on the lat, 7th, and 14th day after the treatment ended. Results The expression of PSA-NCAM in the rats' hippocampuses increased after exposure for 1 d, reached its peak at the 14th day, then had decreased by the 21st day but remained at a higher level than in the controls (P≤ 0.05). Conclusion The expression of PSA-NCAM in the rat hippocampus is increased by exposure to 16 Hz 130 dB infrasound, but the levels recover somewhat after infrasound exposure ends. lnfrasound could induce neural injury and promote the migration of neural stem cells. PSA-NCAM might participate in the repair of neural injuries re-suiting from infrasound exposure.

Objectives To investigate the clinical profile and prognosis of hemophagocytic syndrome (HPS). Methods A retrospective study was carried out to analyze the clinical features and laboratory findings in 28 children with HPS. Fisher's exact probability method and Logistic multivariate regression were used to explore the prognostic risk factors.. Results HPS was clinically characterized by prolonged fever (100%), hepatomegaly (64.29%),and other minor features including respiratory symptoms (53.57%), splenomegaly (50%), hydrops of multiple serous cavity (42.86%), lymphadenectasis (32.14%), jaundice (17.85%), skin rash (14.29%), central nervous system involvement (14.29%), and alimentary tract hemorrhage (10.71%). Labo-ratory data showed that 1iver dysfunction, pancytopenia, coagulation abnormalities, disseminated intravascular coagulation, hy-pertriglyceridemia, decreased number of natural killer cells and hyponatremia were prominent. The etiological analysis indicated that infection associated hemophagocytic syndrome was most common (60.71%), in which EB virus associated HPS was pre-dominant, accounting for 64.71%. Significant difference was observed in the difference of albumin,blood urea nitrogen and acti-vated partial thromboplastin time between death and survival cases (P<0.05). The Logistic regression multivariate analysis showed that hypoalbuminemia was an independent prognostic factor. Conclusions There are various underlying diseases and clinical manifestations for HPS. The lower level of serum albumin is an independent prognostic factor. A prompt diagnosis and treatment is very important for HPS prognosis due to the rapid progression and high mortality.
