OBJECTIVE:To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of breviscapine combined with vinpocetine in the treatment of acute cerebral infraction. METHODS:A total of 80 patients with acute cerebral infraction were selected from our hospital during Jan. 2014-Dec. 2015,and then divided into observation group and control group according to random number table,with 40 cases in each group. Control group was given Vinpocetine injection 20 mL+0.9% Sodium chloride injection 250 mL,ivgtt,qd. Observa-tion group was additionally given Breviscapine injection 20 mL+5% Glucose injection 250 mL,ivgtt,qd,at intervals of 2-3 h on the basis of control group. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. Clinical efficacies as well as serum copeptin,NT-proBNP,albu-min cobalt binding(ACB)value,European stroke scale(ESS)and functional independence measurement(FIM)score before and after treatment were observed in 2 groups,and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS:Total response rate of observation group(90.0%)was significantly higher than that of control group(67.5%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treat-ment,there was no statistical significance in serum peptide,NT-proBNP,ACB value,ESS or FIM score between 2 groups (P>0.05). After treatment,serum copeptin and NT-proBNP levels of 2 groups were decreased significantly,while ACB value,ESS and FIM score were increased significantly;the improvement of observation group was significantly better than that of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Breviscapine combined with vinpocetine can improve neurological function of acute cerebral infraction patients and show good therapeutic efficacy with good safety.

objective To investigate the ability of insulin sensitivity index HOMA2-%S and secretion function index HOMA2-%B calculated by HOMA2,the new homeostasis model assessment,in clinical application. Methods Eighty female volunteers with polycystic ovary syndrome in Chongqing area [50 subjects with normal glucose tolerance(NGT group)and 30 subjects with impaired glucose regulation(IGR group)]were involved in this study.Thev underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test(OGTF)and the Botnia clamp test. From the data of faming blood samples in OGTF,insulin sensitivity index HOMAI-ISI,secretion function index HOMAl-β and disposal index DI-HOMA1 were calculated by the old homeostasis model assessment(HOMA I),meanwhile insulin sensitivity index HOMA2-%S,secretion function index HOMA2-%B and disposal index(DI-HOMA2) were caleulated by the new homeostasis model assessment (HOMA2).Correlation coefficients between insulin sensitivity index and GIR (the glucose infusion rate at steady state of Botnia clamp test),and between insulin secretion function index and AIR(the acute insulin response in Botnia clamp test),were studied.Results The Pearson's linear correlation coefficient between HOMA2-%S and GIR(r=0.503),HOMA1-ISI and HOMA2-%S (r= 0.990).HOMA2-%B and AIR(r=0.382),HOMA1-B and HOMA2-%B(r=0.976) were all statistically significant(a11 P<0.01).The glucose disposal indexes calculated from the HOMA2 and HOMA1 of 1GR group were significantly lower than those from the NGT group(t=2.825,P<0.Ol;t=2.222,P<0.05). Conclusion The HOMA2 is a better model in evaluating the insulin sensitivity and secretion function and is recommended to be widely used in clinical evaluation.

Objective To purify and identif y Platanus acerifoli wild pollen. Methods We carried out intracutaneous test with Platanus pollen extract in 30 patients with allergic as thma who visited our hospital from March to May 2003. Seven subjects who had bee n diagnosed as having Platanus pollen-induced asthma were enrolled. Platanus po llen proteins were separated by gel filtration with Sephadex-G-100. To charact erize allergenic components, Platanus pollen extract was analyzed by means of so dium dodecylsulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis followed by immunoblotti ng. Results To purity the pollen we separated Platanus poll en extract in a first purification step by using gel filtration with Sephadex G -100. Two elution peaks were observed. Twelve percent SDS-PAGE analysis showed more than 10 protein bands whose molecular mass (Mr) ranged from 16 ku to 71 ku. Six bands abundant with protein at 71, 50, 35, 39, 22 and 16 ku were observed. On SDS-PAGE, the proteins of the first peak whose Mr we re 71, 50, 35, 39, and 22 ku and that of the second peak was 16 ku. SDS-PAGE and IgG-immunoblotting analysis with seven sera showed 4 IgG-binding component s whose Mr was 50, 39, 22 and 16 ku. The protein bands whose Mr was 50 ku and 22 ku had the highest binding capacity. Conclusion The strongest activity exists in the first peak which can be the major sensiti zing components and there is mild allergic activity in the second peak which is the minor sensitizing components.
