OBJECTIVE: To investigate the antagonistic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza on cyclosporine A (CsA)-induced chronic nephrotoxicity. METHODS: 54 patients underwent renal transplantation were divided into 3 groups according to dosage of salvia miltiorrhiza: CsA+high-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group, CsA+loe-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group (trial group) and CsA control group (control group). Plasma concentration of CsA, serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (Bun), 24 h urines and 24 h urinary protein were recorded. The parameters of morphology and hemodynamics were compared among 3 groups. The differences of index among 3 groups were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The level of Scr, Bun and 24 h urinary protein in CsA+high-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group were decreased significantly while 24 h urines was increased, compared with other 2 groups. There was significant difference among 3 groups (P0.05). The intrarenal blood flow and renal arterial resistance index were increased significantly in CsA+high-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza group. CONCLUSION: High-dose of salvia miltiorrhiza combined with CsA can reduce the CsA-induced nephrotoxicity perfently.

As the dressings currently used in clinic settings unflat shape in general, they can't be fitted completely on occiput, heel, elbow, knee and other body parts unflat. This paper developed one kind of foam dressing of special shape based on local anatomy. The foam dressing is waterproof and air permeable, it can cover the wound closely enough to prevent bacteria from invasion and infection. With a saturated absorption ratio of 1: 8 or higher, it can keep the wound clean and moisture by absorbing large amounts of wound inflammatory secretions and is almost completely permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide. Assuring safety and effect meanwhile, it has better outcomes than common dressings in the same application settings.

Objective: To synthesize 10-position schiff base derivatives of emodin and study the anti-tumor activity. Methods:The 10-position schiff base derivatives of emodin were synthesized through emodin reacting with ammonia derivatives in absolute alcohol with acetic acid as the catalytic agent. Their structures were characterized by 1 H-NMR and ESI-MS, and the anti-tumor activity on k562 cells was determined by MTT method. Results:Three 10-position schiff base derivatives were synthesized and the structures were confirmed, and the IC50 on k562 cells was 4. 5, 3. 8 and 2. 0 μmol·L-1 , respectively. Conclusion:The 10-position schiff base de-rivatives of emodin can improve the anti-tumor activity and druggability of the parent compound, which are worthy of further study.

Objective: To research the application of perspective imaging of intense laser proton beam in tumor cells, experi-ments are carried out on an ultra-intense picosecond pulsed laser facility, and the results of perspective imaging on biological samples by high energy proton beam, which is excitated among the interaction of picosecond laser with solid target, is showed. Methods: The laser energy is 12 J, the pulse width of laser is 1.5 ps, the laser focal spot diameter is 15 μm, the coefficientf or the off-axis paraboloid lens is 1.5. The target used in the experiment is made by coating a CH film with 1 μm on the back of the 15 pan-thick Cu. The distance between the proton source (laser spot) and the ant sample is 7 mm (i.e. the object distance), the distance between the sample and the RC film is 63 mm (i.e. the image distance). The detector is a stack of RCF or CR-39 films. Results: The ant is taken as the sample, a high energy proton beam, which is excitated as above on the rear surface of target, makes a 2-dimensional perspective imaging of an ant with high contrast, nanometer spatial resolution and density reso-lution. Conclusions: The result provided possibility of the application of perspective imaging of intense laser proton beam in tumor cells.

Clinical effect is of great importance to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), and the rigorous and scientific methods for clinical effect assessment should be highly stressed in the clinical research of TCM. In this article, the authors analyzed the current status of the effect assessment of TCM and proposed some measures to improve the current effect assessment of TCM, in the hope of establishing an internationally accepted system of effect assessment reflecting the superiority and characteristics of TCM therapies.

Objective To compare the results of manually -tested speech recognition threshold (SRT ) with automatically software -recorded SRT in the trial of Mandarin disyllabic test ,exploring the significance to the clini-cal applying .Methods 128 normal people of different ages without hearing loss and 57 workers exposed to noise in an automobile manufacturing was selected .These two group of volunteers speak mainly Mandarin in their daily life . MADSEN Conera (Danmark) clinical audiometr was applied .A group of double syllable word list with the same dif-ficulty of equivalence was used as test material .The initial presentation level was 20 dB HL higher than PTA .Then compared the results of manually -tested SRT with automatically software -recorded SRT .Results In the normal group ,the automatic value SRT was 7 .84 ± 3 .98 dB HL ,the manual value was 9 .19 ± 4 .47 dB HL ,and the average value of speech frequency threshold was 7 .63 ± 5 .78 dB HL .In the noise group ,the automatic value SRT was 6 .10 ± 8 .40 dB HL ,the manual value was 18 .81 ± 9 .52 dB HL ,and the average value of language frequency threshold was 27 .18 ± 19 .13 dB HL .There was significant difference between the values of SRT tested manually and recorded automatically (P<0 .01) .Conclusion There are differences between SRT valued manually and automatically .The SRT in people with normal hearing can be tested using automatic -recorded method .This method is convenient for screening in people without hearing loss .To exam in people with hearing loss ,the manual test is more appropriate .

Background Essential hypertension (EH) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are frequently co- existed.Previous studies proved that EH can cause arrythmia,whereas,the arrythmia and the structure changed in hypertensive patients coexisted with T2DM are scarely reported.Objective To study the characteristics and mech- anism of arrhythmia in essential hypertension (EH) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods One hundred sixty eight patients were groupped as follows:EH group (n=65),T2DM group (n=31),EH+T2DM group (n=52),and normal group (n=20).The clinical data,echocardiographies and 24-hour dynamic eletroear- diogram were determined in all patients.Results 1)Arrhythmia incidence in EH+T2DM group was a statistically higher compared to EH group and T2DM group(P

The Laboratory medicine is a practice subject.Department of Medical Laboratory in the first clinical medicine college(Nanfang Hospital),Southern Medical University strengthens communication and cooperation with enterprises,such as third parted laboratory medicine institutions and independent laboratories.The enterprises participate in teaching work including reforming curriculum system.cultivating students'practice and innovation abilities,constructing exercitation bases,sdvancing students'occupation competition,and so on.Along with emphasizing practice and innovation abilities cultivation,the hospital-enterprise cultivation pattern for Laboratory medicine was established and made primary progress.
