At present, a number of scientific research achievements has been formed. Scientific achievement is the crystallization of great efforts from scientific workers, and it's also the valuable treasure of human civilization. Standardization is an important way to promote the international communication of Chinese medicine, and it's significant in boosting China's scientific and technological progress, improving market competitiveness and promoting international trade. Transformation of scientific research to the guideline is not only beneficial to improving the technology content of the standard, but also to the conversion from scientific research achievements into productivity. Therefore, only by absorbing the advanced scientific and technological achievements, reproducing the theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and medical technology in standard form, can make TCM keep pace with the times. This study preliminarily explores for the method to transform scientific research achievements into guideline, in order to provide reference for the future technical specifications, thus to further the development of TCM.

OBJECTIVE:To study the improvement effect of Z-Guggulsterone(Z-GL)on blood coagulation and vascular endo-thelial functions of acute blood-stasis model rats and its mechanism. METHODS:40 rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive group(Aspirin tablet,50 mg/kg)and Z-GL low-dose and high-dose groups(25,50 mg/kg),with 8 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine intragastrically every 12 h,and normal group and model group were given constant volume of normal saline intragastrically for consecutive 7 times. After the fifth administration,except for normal group, those groups were given adrenalin hydrochloride subcutaneously+ice-cold water to induce acute blood-stasis model. Within 30 min after the last administration,aorta abdominalis sample were selected to detect the coagulation parameters [prothrombin time(PT), thrombin time (TT),activated partialthromboplastin time (APTT),fibrinogen (FIB)],and pathological changes of carotid artery were observed. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUEVCs) were divided into blank group (normal saline),model group (normal saline) and Z-GL low-concentration and high-concentration groups (25,50 μmol/L). After culturing for 24 h,the cells were exposed to glucose and oxygen deprivation for 6 h in model group and Z-GL groups. The expression of p-eNOS protein was detected. Other cells were selected,grouped,administrated and treated as above cells,and the NO level of these cells were detect-ed. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,PT,TT and APTT were all shortened in model group,while FIB content was in-creased (P<0.01);vascular endothelium was injured,and endothelial cells fell off from the wall. Compared with model group, PT,TT and APTT were prolonged in administration groups,while FIB content was decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);vascular en-dothelium injury was relieved. Results of p-eNOS protein and NO levels determination showed that compared with model group, p-eNOS protein and NO levels were increased in Z-GL groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Z-GL can significantly im-prove coagulation and vascular endothelium functions of blood-stasis model rats,and its mechanism may be associated with the acti-vation of eNOS and the increase of NO level.

Objective To study the relationship of plasma aeylation stimulating protein (ASP) with complement C3, C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood lipid levels in women with polyeystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods Thirty-four patients with PCOS were divided into two groups: obese PCOS group [body mass index (BMI)≥25 kg/m2] and non-obese PCOS group (BMI<25 kg/m2). 41 age-matched non-PCOS women were also divided into two groups: simply obese group (BMI≥25 kg/m2) and non-obese control group (BMI <25kg/m2). Plasma ASP in the 4 groups was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.Complement C3 and CRP were determined by immunoturbidimetrie assay. Plasma free fatty acid (FFA)concentration was determined by colorimetric enzymatic assay, plasma triglycerides (TG) by GPO-PAP method and total cholesterol (TC) by COD-PAP method. Results The plasma ASP were significantly increased in the obese PCOS group, the non-obese PCOS group and the obese group as compared with the control group [(36.4±10.9,34.8±9.9, 35.1±14.0, 24.8±7.8) nmol/L, respectively, all P<0.05]. The concentrations of complement C3 were significantly higher in the obese PCOS group and the obese group than that in the control group [(2.2±1.2,2.5±1.5, 1.1±0.7) g/L, respectively, bothP <0.05]. The concentrations of CRP were significantly increased in the obese PCOS group, non-obese PCOS group and obese group as compared with the control group [(32.1±29.2, 30.0±24.8, 23.8±5.5, 7.5±4.8)mg/L, respectively, all P<0.05]. Univariate analysis showed that both plasma ASP and C3 were positively correlated with BMI, CRP, FFA and TG. CRP was positively correlated with BMI, FFA, TG and TC. Conclusion Plasma ASP, C3 and CRP levels in women with PCOS axe increased. They are strongly associated with disturbed lipid metabolism. The lack of association between ASP and complement C3 suggests that the conversion of C3 to ASP may be affected by other factors.

Objective:To study the effects and mechanisms of acetyl-11-keto-β-boswellic acid ( AKBA) in myocardial ischemic model induced by isoproterenol hydrochloride ( ISO) in rats. Methods:The SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group, model group, AKBA low dose group and AKBA high dose group. Myocardial injury model was induced by subcutaneous injection of ISO (100 mg·kg-1 ) . The change of ST segment in ECG was observed. Creatine kinase ( CK-MB) , cardiac troponin I ( cTnI) , lactate dehydro-genase( LDH) , malondialdehyde( MDA) and superoxide dismutase( SOD) in the blood were detected by ELISA. The change of histo-logical tissue was determined by HE staining, and cell apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL assay. Results: Serum CK-MB, cTnI and LDH were decreased significantly in AKBA high dose group when compared with those in the model group. Compared with that in the model group, MDA content was lowered and the SOD activity was increased in AKBA high dose group. Furthermore, AKBA high dose group improved the pathologic changes of myocardium. TUNEL assay revealed significant reduction of cardiomyocytes apoptosis in the hearts of the ischemic rats in AKBA high dose group. Conclusion:AKBA has excellent cardioprotective effect on myocardial ischemic induced by ISO and protection of myocardial cells from injury.
