This study was to localize the position of spinal center of sympathetic nerve which controls the pulmonary circulation in pithed rat model. The sympathetic preganglionic fibers arising from C7-T10 spinal segments were stimulated electrically in succession. During stimulation the pulmonary vascular rcsistance(PVR) was increased in all segments tested, most significantly in C7-T4(about 28% above control value) which was obviously higher than that of Ts-T10. In constract, the systemic vascular resistance(SVR) increased more remarkably when lower segments were stimulated. The higher the stimulated spinal segments, the larger the ratio of APVR/ASVR. The data showed that the spinal center of sympathetic nerve which regulates the vasomotion of pulmonary circulation is located in the segments C7-T4.

0.05) found between two groups. Hypoxia did not stimulate ECs to release endothe-lium-derived contracting factors (EDCFs), and the contracting effects of HPEC (16.4%)and HAEC (20%) were similar to that of NPEC and NAEC. These results indicated thatEDCFs released from endothelial cells of pulmonary artery and aorta can induce contrac-tion of PSMC directly and that hypoxia did not increase the release of EDCFs from ECs.

Hypoxic vasoconstriction was studied in isolated rings of pig intrapulmonary(PA) with or without endothelium. Arterial rings were suspended in modified Krebs' bic-arbonate solution for isometric recording. Hypoxia was induced by changing the bubblinggas mixture in the chamber from, 95% O_2-5%CO_2 to 95%N_2-5%CO_2. When PA ringswere prestimulated with phenylephrine (PE, 2?10~(-6) mol/L), hypoxia could induce contrac-ctions in PA (0.86?0.09g, n=12). Removal of the endothelium decreased the hypoxicontractions of PA significantly (tension increment 0.11?0.03g, n=12, P

Research on post-marketing Chinese medicine should be the systematic study from application to mechanism. Clinical evaluation is the basis of mechanism study, we can find the clue from clinical evaluation, then make a mechanism study to find the reason, then apply the results to clinic. So it is a virtuous circle. In order to achieve it, we cannot be limited to traditional Chinese medicine, we should form multi-disciplinary team under the direction of grand science thinking, try hard to put industry-university-research institute collaboration association to use, and if necessary, explore the new model of the whole nation system. An appropriate operation mechanism is very important.

AIM:To investigate the expression and the significance of VEGF-C/D in rat cornea after alkali burning as well as the role of lymphangiogenesis in the high-risk corneal transplantation rejection.
●METHODS:The model of alkali burn corneal was made. Different times corneas were taken to electron microscope for vascularization, and examined the expression of VEGF-C/D and VEGFR-3 in l, 3, 5, 7, 14, 28d. The other rat cornea after alkali burn were divided into four parts to penetrate keratoplasty, containing only blood vessels in the cornea ( group A ) , angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis ( group B ) , lymphangiogenesis degenerating period ( group C ) , angiogenesis degenerating period ( group D ) . ln addition, there are also normal groups ( group N ) to compare the Rl values and survival time of corneal graft.
●RESULTS: Electron microscopy showed that, when the first 7d rat cornea appeared neovascularization after alkali burn, but not lymphangiogenesis. The occurrence of new blood vessels and lymphatic in 2wk. There were no obvious lymphangiogenesis in 5wk and the angiogenesis gradually subside in 8 wk. The expression of VEGF-C/D and VEGFR-3 in the corneas of rats were up-regulated in the third days after the injury, and reached its peaks at 5d. The average survival time of group N, A, B, C, D were (14.25±0.62)d, (9.35±1.02)d, (5.06±1.13)d, (8.71±0.83) d, (9. 44±1. 05)d after transplant cornea. Compared to the rest of the group, group B plant average survival time significantly shortened (P<0. 05), while compared with group B, the survival time of A, C, D groups were significantly longer (P<0. 05).
● CONCLUSION: VEGF - C/D and VEGFR - 3 are expressed significantly after corneal alkali burn. New lymphatic vessels can accelerate high - risk corneal transplantation immune rejection.

AIM: To establish the quality standard for Yanqingsong Granule (Radix P uerariae, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Radix Paeoniae Alba, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, et c.). METHODS: Radix Puerariae; Rhizoma Chuanxio ng; Radix Paeoniae Alba; Radix Angelicae Dahuricae. in Yanqingsong Granule were identified by TLC, and the content of puerarin was determined by HPLC. RESULTS: Radix Puerariae; Rhizoma Chuanxio ng; Radix Paeoniae Alba; Radix Angelicae Dahuricae could be identified by TLC. P uerarin showed a good linear relationship at a ran ge of 0.1716～0.8580?g,r=0.9999. The average recovery was 97.49% (RSD= 1.77% and n=6). CONCLUSION: The methods are available with a reproducibility and ca n control the quality of this granule effectively.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging in detecting local recurrence in patients with T3N0M0 prostate cancer after cryotherapy.Methods Sixty-five patients with T3N0M0 prostate cancer underwent cryotherapy.The preoperative data of conventional MRI,MRS,transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy were collected.After cryotherapy,the prostate specific antigen (PSA) of all patients was detected monthly.If PSA ＞5 μg/L,MRI,MRS,and TRUS-guided prostate biopsy were planned within a week.If PSA was unremarkable,MRI,MRS,and TRUS-guided prostate biopsy were planned 12 months after cryotherapy.The prostate was divided 6 regions and the cancerous and noncancerous were marked.The signal-to-noise ratio(S/N) of choline (Cho),citrate (Cit)and the ratios of Cho + creatine ( Cre)/Cit of each regions were measured in pre-operation and postoperation.The patients were divided into non-recurrence and recurrence group according to TRUS-guided biopsy.The S/N of Cho,Cit,and the ratio of Cho + Cre/Cit were compared between the groups before and after cryotherapy by using independent samples t-test.Results ( 1) Fifteen patients were confirmed local recurrence 12 months after cryotherapy,including 11patients with an evaluate PSA level and 4 patients with PSA umemarkable.(2) The S/N of Cho,Cit and the ratios of Cho + Cre/Cit in the cancerous and noncancerous regions before cryotherapy in the sixty-five patients were 25 + 9,11+ 5,and 18 + 5,and 39 ±12,2.33 +0.60,and 0.53 ± 0.19.There had significant difference between that of two groups ( t values were 11.36,9.81,and 13.39,respectively,P =0.00).(3) In the patients with non-recurrence,The S/N of Cho,Cit in the cancerous and noncancerous regions were 4 ± 2 and 3 ± 2 ( t =1.024,P =0.305 ),and 2 +2 and 4 ±3 (t =1.147,P =0.178) and no difference was found.In necrotic area,the ratios of Cho + Cre/Cit could not be calculated because of low level of the S/N of Cho and Cit.(4)In the patients with local recurrence after cryotherapy,the S/N of Cho and Cit in the cancerous and noncancerous regions were 17 ±3 and 3 ± 2 ( t =17.24,p =0.00 ),9 ± 2 and 3 ± 3 ( t =23.66,P =0.00 ) and a significant difference was found.The ratio of Cho + Cre/Cit in the recurrent area was no significant different compared with that of preoperation(t =1.214,P =0.256 ).In necrotic area,the ratios of Cho + Cre/Cit could not be calculated because of low level of the S/N of Cho and Cit.Conclusions MRS is a useful tool to evaluate the changes of the S/N of Cho and Cit,the ratios of the Cho + Cre/Cit and help diagnosis of local recurrence.
