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.

Objective To investigate the effect of electro-acupuncture at Guanyuanshu, Xinshu, Neiguan points on cardiac function after acute myocardial ischemia in rabbits. Methods A total of 36 rabbits were randomly divided into a control group, a model group and a treatment group. Acute myocardial ischemia was induced with Jugular vein injection of pituitrin. At 10 min before modeling, 1 hour and 1 week after modeling, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and creatine kinase(CK) were determined respectively, the cardiac function was assessed as the maximum rate of left ventricular pressure rise(dp/dtmax)and the peak left ventricular pressure (LVSP). Results After 1 week of treatment, the serum levels of CK and MDA in the treatment group reduced significantly(120.21±10.67 U/L, 21.35±2.04 mmol/L], compared to the model group (162.37±13.21 U/L, 30.13±2.75 mmol/L) (all P<0.05);the dp/dtmax and LVSP decreased percentage in the treatment group (20%±2.43%, 7.22%±0.97%) decrease significantly compared to the model group (31.5%± 4.14%, 12.19%±2.21%) (all P<0.05). Conclusion Electro-acupuncture of Guanyuanshu, Xinshu, Neiguan acupoints can significantly improve cardiac function after acute myocardial ischemia and protect against acute myocardial ischemia in rabbits.
