Objective To investigate the effect of EGB on SOD, MDA of ventilator-induced lung injury in rats and its possible mechanisms. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (C group), high tidal ventilation group (H group) and EGB group (E group). The setting mechanical ventilation was VT=30 mL/kg, RR=40/min, I/E=1/3, PEEP=0 cmH2 O and FiO2=21%. The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BLAF) and serum were obtained for determination of the levels of SOD and MDA at the end of 4 h mechanical ventilation. The Lungs were removed, and the wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) and pulmonary pathologic changes were measured. Results As compared with C group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly increased in H group, but the levels of SOD were reduced in H group. As compared with H group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly decreased in E group, but the levels of SOD were increased in E group. Pulmonary pathologic changes were alleviated in E group comparing with H group. Conclusion EGB injection may have a protective role against hyperoxia and induced pulmonary damage in rats.

Objective To observe the clinical curative effect of Jianliyishen paste on chronic fatigue syndrome. Method 140 patients were divided into two groups. The treatment group(80 cases) took orally Jianliyishen paste. The control group(60 cases) took orally Huangqijing. Clinical curative effects of the two groups were observed after treatment. Result After the treatment,the main symptom integral and the total integral of the treatment group reduced obviously(P

Objective To observe the function of Jianliyishen Paste on anti-fatigue,analgesia and anti-anoxia. Method Through the experiment of the fatigue indexes of the fatigue model mouse,the pain model mouse by the acetic acid of twisting-body and bearing anoxia time in atmospheric pressure,the function of Jianliyishen Paste on anti-fatigue,analgesia and anti-anoxia was observed. Result Jianliyishen paste could obviously lengthen the exhausted time of fatigue model mice,reduce the serum urea nitrogen of fatigue mice after swimming and have remarkable analgesia effect to the ache caused by chemical substance (acetic acid),enhance the stressing ability of bearing anoxia in atmospheric pressure. Conclusion Jianliyishen paste has the function of good anti-fatigue,analgesia and anti-anoxia,and the complex therapeutic effect on chronic fatigue syndrome.

In this study, by using the method of literature research, 35 prescriptions related to asthma therapy has been screened out from Hui medicine through collecting the ancient and modern literature. A comparison of fragrant medicine between the name in Arab and Chinese herbal medicine is done. The countif function in Microsoft Excel 2007 is used to get the prescriptions of the drug on the frequency statistics, summarizing the common drugs of Hui medicine for asthma are Pinellia, almond, white sugar, walnut. According to the commonly used drugs, the pathogeny and treatment principle about Hui medicine for asthma is preliminarily inferred combining literature research and the related Hui medical theory. In this study, those prescriptions have been classified into 21 cases which are effective and can be used in medical therapy according to the relevant literatures with the development of the Hui people in their long process of formation of the unique diet culture, 14 useful and convenient Halal diet therapies are made up according to the indications, therapies, party name and composition. Halal diet and "medicine and food" herbs are preliminarily analyzed and summarized, which can be convenient for the people to reduce pains through the diet and improve health awareness.

To explore an effective method with few operative complications for treating circumferential mixed hemorrhoids (CMH).Sixty three cases of CMH (Group A) were treated with limited external incision and internal ligation combined with restoration of intervenient skin and 34 cases (Group B) were treated with traditional external incision and internal ligation as control. Anal canal diameter (ACD), anal canal quiescent pressure (ACQP) and anal canal systolic pressure (ACSP) were determined before and after operation. Short term and long term therapeutic effects were also observed and compared in the two groups.Short term and long term therapeutic effects in Group A were better than those in Group B (P

AIM: To study the cytological characteristics and gene expression of normal cultured bEnd.3, a mouse brain microvascular endothelial cell strain. METHODS: The morphology of bEnd.3 was studied by light and electronic microscopy, its molecular markers were observed by immunocytochemistry. Cell proliferation kinetics and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry and MTT assay, PGE_2 level was measured by ELISA, and expression of the genes that closely related with vascular endothelial functions was studied by gene micro-array. RESULTS: bEnd.3 had morphological characteristics of microvascular endothelial cells (MVEC) growing in a cobblestone pattern, forming tube-like structure or capillary network and having microvilli. Furthermore, bEnd.3 showed positive staining for vW factor and CD34 and secreted high level of PGE_2 (644.55?30.24 ng/L). Gene micro-array analysis showed CD31, CD36, CD105 expression, and other genes closely related to microvascular endothelial functions also expressed at relatively high level. In addition, bEnd.3 responsed sensitively to mitogen such as basic fibroblast growth factor. CONCLUSION: bEnd.3 is a kind of MVEC, and it can be utilized to study the mechanisms of some diseases such as cancers and cardio- cerebral vascular diseases.

Objective To explore the relationship between peripheral Th17 cell number and chronic gastritis in Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)-infected children.Methods Children were diagnosed as chronic gastritis by endoscopy.The degree and activity of inflammation were graded by histopathology examinations.The patients with both 13C urea breath test and urease test positive were diagnosed as H.pylori infection.The peripheral Th17 cell number was measured by flow cytometry and expressed as a ratio to total T cell.Results The Th17 cell number in HP group (chronic gastritis with H.pylori infection,n =33),non-HP group (chronic gastritis without H.pylori infection,n =24) and normal controls (n =15) were (1.55 ±0.30)％,(1.06 ±0.33)％,and (1.04 ±0.35)％,respectively.HP group included a statistically higher Th17 cell number than the other groups (all P ＜ 0.05),while no obvious difference was found between non-HP group and controls (P ＞ 0.05).According to the degree of inflammation,the chronic gastritis with H.pylori infection was categorized into non-apparent (n =10),mild (n =8),moderate (n =9) and severe (n =6) subgroups.The Th17 cell number in each subgroup was (1.64 ± 0.21)％ (non-apparent),(1.61 ± 0.23)％(mild),(1.25 ± 0.29) ％ (moderate) and (1.75 ± 0.20) ％ (severe),respectively.The moderate group had a lowest Th17 cell number among 4 groups (P ＜ 0.05).And significant differences did not exit in the other 3 groups (P ＞ 0.05).The HP group patients with different inflammatory activity had a Th17 cell number of (1.23 ±0.25)％ in nonapparent (n=15),(1.53 ±0.15)％ in mild (n=6),(1.55 ±0.32)％ in moderate (n=6) and (1.71 ±0.35)％ in severe (n =6) subgroup,respectively.However,there were no significant differences among 4 subgroups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions In the progress of chronic gastritis with H.pylori infection,Th17 cells may play a role as a double-edged sword by protecting and fighting against H.pylori infection and immunopathologic insults.This would provide more insights into the treatment of H.pylori infection.
