It was reported that immuno-regulatory mechanism of Ginsenoside on NK cell activity through pituitary-adrenal axis in operation stressed mice. Ginsenoside could modulate NK cell activity in mice against stress. On the other hand the level of plasma ACTH, corticosterone and the splenocyte ACTHR increased in stressed mice, as we know that ACTH, corticosterone could inhibite immunocyte function. However, Ginsenoside decreased the level of ACTH and corticosterone. This result suggests that the regulation effect of Ginsenoside on NK cell activity may be related to the action of pi tui taryadrenal axis under stress conditions.

The porcine CRF partly purified according to Vale's method used an immunogen to prepare the rabbit anti-CRF serum. The specific CRF radioimmunoassay was developed with the antiserum and ~(125)I-h-CRF. The antiserum revealed 20% tracer binding at 1: 1600 working dilution and was no cross-reactivity with relative peptides in RIA. The lower limit of detection of standard CRF was 25-50pg/ml in RIA. The concentration of CRF in plasma and brain tissue was measured by this method. The results are consistent with that of Sapolsky et al. Therefore the CRF RIA can be used for CRF detection in plasma and tissue extracts.

Objective:To evaluate the rationality of medical order in oncology department of our hospital and analyze the intervention effect of clinical pharmacist.Methods:Totally 180 medical orders in oncology department of our hospital from January to June in 2013 were selected as the pre-intervention group,and those with the same number from January to June in 2014 were selected as the post-intervention group.The rationality of medical orders including drug selection,administration routes,usage and dosage was investigated and compared between the groups. Results:The unreasonable rate was 41.11% before the intervention and 8.33% after the intervention with statistically significant difference(P<0.05).The irrational drug use included inappropriate indications,usage and dosage,improper drug replacement and combination,and inappropriate adjuvant drug use.Conclusion:Irrational drug use in oncology department can be significantly reduced and the level of rational drug use can be improved through the intervention of clinical pharmacist.

Medical integration is an inevitable trend of medical development and medical educa-tion reform nowadays. Under the guidance of integration,medical colleges at home and abroad develop a series of exploration and practice of medical education reform. According to difficulties and problems of medical education reform,this article put forward:changing ideas to adapt to the transformation of medi-cal model,combining medical education reform and new medical reform,playing the main role of educa-tion administration department in the reform of medical course system,strengthening multi-dimensional integration of medical science.

Objective: To establish the determination of alkaloids in Pericarpium Papaveris. Method: Adopting the bromocresol green as colored indicator, alkaloids in Pericarpium Papaveris were measured by visible spectrophotography. Results: The average recovery was 101.2%, the RSD was 2.46%.Conclusion: There are big difference in batchs, we should enhance the quality control of Pericarpium Papaveris.

AIM: To observe the realgar induced the apoptosis of eosinophils from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in asthmatic guinea pigs and investigate the mechanism that realgar treated asthma.METHODS: The morphology of apoptosis of eosinophils was observed by Giemsa staining and electron microscope.The rate of apoptosis of eosinophils was assayed by the flow cytometry.RESULTS: The characteristic changes of the apoptosis in both light microscope and electron microscope were shown after 6 hours treatment of realgar.Flow cytometry showed that the rate of apoptosis of the eosinophils was increased with both increasing realgar concentration and prolonging realgar action time to the cells.CONCLUSION: Realgar promotes the apoptosis of eosinophils from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in asthmatic guinea pig.Realgar induced the apoptosis of eosinophils is one of the causeses for asthmatic treatment.

A high xylanase producing strain 22 of Aspergillus clavatus was screened from 105 strains of molds and yeasts. The suitable medium consisted of (g/L): bagasse hemicellulose 30, NH_4NO_3 5, yeast extract 5, wheat bran 10, Tween 80 1 and a small quantity of other minerals; initial pH 5.5. Theoptimalsporeinoculumwas4.9X10~6spores/ml (final concentration). Theactivity of xylanase was as high as 335.9 U/ml in shake-flask experiment at 28℃ for 72 h. The optimal temperature and pH for xylanase reaction were 50℃ and pH 4.8. 72.6% of its original activity was remained after incubation at 50℃ for 1 h, and 90% of the enzym activity was observed upon storage at 8℃ for 9 days . Sugars. Na~+. Ca~(2+). and Zn~(2+) increased its activity wherease Co~(2+)and Cu~(2+) inhibited it.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous high volume hemofiltration (HVHF)on respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). MethodsForty-one adult patients with MODS who received mechanical ventilation were divided into HVHF group(21 cases) and continuous vein-vein hemofiltration (CVVH) group (20 cases) by envelople. The peak airway pressure (Ppeak), dynamic pulmonary compliance(Cdyn), cardiac output(CO ), systemic vascular resistance(SVR), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and blood gas analysis before treatment and 24 hours after treatment were measured. Results Twenty-four hours after treatment, the levels of Ppeak, Cdyn, CO, PVR,SVR and oxygenation index were (31.32 ±2.23) cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa), (26.18 ±3.54)(220.41 ±21.41) mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) respectively in HVHF group,significantly higher than those before treatment [(42.00 ±3.34) cm H2O, (17.91 ±4.31) ml/cm H2O, (8.68 ±1.17) L/min,(267.27 ± 16.29) dyn·s·cm-5, (805.32 ± 18.82)dyn ·s·cm-5, ( 119.41 ± 17.10) mm Hg] (P ＜ 0.01 ),as well as higher than those in CVVH group after 24 hours' treatment (P ＜ 0.01 ). ConclusionHVHF shows significant beneficial effects on respiratory mechanics and hemodynamics of MODS.

Objective To improve our understanding of localized Castleman's disease ( Localized Castleman's disease, LCD) ,and to improve its diagnosis and treatment. Methods Clinical characteristics and treatment of 26 LCD cases were retrospectively analyzed, and its clinical features and treatment strategies were reviewed. Results Among the 26 cases, there were 10 cases with clinical symptoms, which mainly showed local pain induced by the compression of the tumors, and 3 in the 10 cases associated with paraneoplastic pemphigus. The swollen lymph node was at a localized area, which was mostly at retroperitoneal (10 cases) and mediastinum (7 cases). The CT scan of LCD had its special characters including local calcification and necrosis. 22 cases were of hyaline vascular type, and the other 4 cases were of plasma type based on histopathologic examination. Twenty-five patients received complete tumor resection and 2 cases of them recurred after a follow-up of 5 to 206 months averaging at 48 ± 13 months. In one case the tumor adjoining vital organs deep in the mediastinum couldn't be completely resected. This patient and another with complete tumor resection recurred and received combined chemotherapy with complete tumor disappearance and were all alive without recurrence as found by follow up to May, 2010. The other patient with recurrent tumor after tumor resection didn't receive chemotherapy and died 11 years later. Conclusions LCD patients mainly have isolated lymphadenectasis, and some patients may have systemic symptom and show abnormal laboratory results. CT scan is helpful in establishing a diagnosis of LCD.Complete surgical resection offers a favorite result for this disease.
