This paper introduces a ultra-low frequency modulated low frequency pulse transcutaneous neuromuscalar electrical stimulator.Through clinical practices,it has shown very satisfactory results.

Objective: To investigate the expression of molecular marker ABCG2 of stem cells and tumor angiogenesis-related gene products including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), CD34 and very late antigen alfa-2 (VLA-2α) in human glioma-bearing nude mice and observe the patterns of angiogenesis in transplanted tumors by CD34-PAS double staining. Methods: The human glioma cells were subcutaneously transplanted in 30 nude mice. Six normal brain tissues were as controls. The hematoxylin and eosin staining and immunohistochemical examination were performed to determine the positive rate and the hot-spot of gene product expression. The patterns of angiogenesis were observed under light microscope. Results: The positive rates of ABCG2, VEGF, and VLA-2α expression were all 100% in transplanted tumors. The average percentage of positive cells was (3. 93 ± 1. 438)%, (34. 84 ± 6.212)% (30.33 ± 4.428)%, respectively. The value of micro-vascular density (MVD) labeled by CD34 averaged at 29. 78 ± 5.88. All the three microcirculation patterns, endothelium-dependent vessels, mosaic vessels and vasculogenic mimicry, were present in xenografted human glioma tissue samples. Conclusions: The ABCG2-overexpressed cells tended to be located close to blood vessels. VEGF and VLA-2α play an important role in angiogenesis of transplanted tumors in nude mice. There exist three different microcirculation patterns in high malignant transplanted tumors.

AIM: To observe the effects of polysaccharides-2b from mudan cortex of Paeonia Suffruticosa Andr on glycocylation hemoglobion(GHb),blood glucose(BG),superoxide dismutase(SOD),the content of malonaldehyde(MDA) in serum and blood rheology of diabetic rats. METHODS: Diabetic rats were induced by associating streptozotocin(STZ) with freund's adjuvant complete(CFA),and then the diabetic rats were divided randomly into five groups: model group,polysaccharides-2b lower dose group(30 mg/kg),middle dose group(60 mg/kg),high dose group(120 mg/kg),positive group.Normal group was established additionally.PSM2b was perfused into stomach in diabatic rats for 60 days.The blood glucose was measured on the 10 th,30 th and 60 th days.The rehologic indexes,GHb,SOD and MDA were measured on the 60 th days. RESULTS: Compared with model group,every administrative group of PSM2b were able to apparently reduce high blood glucose and GHb(P

Objective To establish the preparation techniques for preparing the reference substance of platycodin-D.Methods Raw material of platycodi radix was extracted with 70 %MeOH.The concentrated extract passed through D101 macroporous resin column,then the 40 %alcohol eluate was separated by silica gel column chromatography with chloroform-methanol gradient elution.The fractions contained platycodin-D were collected and purified by HPLC.Results HPLC analysis and normalization of peak areas showed the purity of the platycodin-D was 98.8 %.Conclusions The preparation techniques are simple and high yield,can be used for preparing the reference substance of platycodin-D.

To determine the number average molecular mass of chitosan-oligosaccharide by u-sing the acetylacetone's method based on the color-producing reaction with amino terminal . Via the tests on the repetitiveness, accuracy and the stability, supposed this method was reliable. At the same time, the contrastive results of HPLC and the traditional K3Fe(CN)6 method indicate that the acetylacetone method was more suitable for the determination of chitosan-oligosaccharide molecular mass.
