Objective:To explore the differences in active components between Hedysari Radix and Astragali Radix; To explore the material basis and therapeutic functions of Hedysari Radix in promoting blood circulation and nourishing blood.Methods:The research materials used in this study were Hedysari Radix and Astragali Radix from Wudu District, Longnan City, Gansu Province. The contents of seven resource-based components-total sugars, total polyphenols, total flavonoids, crude proteins, total saponins, total alkaloids, and total dietary fiber were measured according to standard methods. Additionally, an HPLC method was established to quantify 21 active compounds. In vitro antioxidant experiments were conducted to assess the scavenging ability of DPPH and ABTS free radicals.Results:The contents of resource-based components in Hedysari Radix were higher than in Astragali Radix. Among the 21 active components, the characteristic active components of Astragali Radix, such as calycosin, formononetin, calycosin glucoside and so on, were high in contents. The contents of paeoniflorin and Medicinol in Astragali Radix were low or not detected, and the contents in Hedysari Radix were 98.828 μg/g and 103.986 μg/g, and the antioxidant capacity was also better than Astragali Radix.Conclusions:The basic components of Hedysari Radix for promoting blood circulation and nourishing blood are paeoniflorin, Medilac, vanillic acid, ferulic acid and formononetin, which can provide a scientific basis for the determination of the characteristic components and the improvement of the main functions of Hedysari Radix.

Objective To observe influence of risk process management on nursing quality and satisfaction in bedside continuous blood purification (CBP).Methods Ninety-eight patients treated with CBP in our hospital were divided into control group and observation group according to the random and equal principle.The control group were given routine management,and the observation group were given risk process management.Occurrence of nursing risk,nursing quality and patients'nursing satisfaction were observed in the two groups.Results Incidence rates of extracorporeal circulation coagulation,water balance disorders,catheter off,failure to detect vital signs and pressure indicators on time,hypotension,bleeding in puncture site,and associated infection in the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of basic nursing,success rate of rescue,accuracy of the instrument operation,and nursing safety of observation group were significantly higher than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Patients'nursing satisfaction of the observation group was 95.92％,which was significantly higher than 83.67％ of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Risk process management can effectively reduce nursing risk of patients in the CBP treatment,and improve nursing quality and patients'satisfaction.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of sinus heart rate turbulence (HRT)and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD).Methods The 59 moderate to severe COPD patients and 30 healthy subjects were enrolled in this study. The 24-hour holter monitor was used to screen the HRT onset (TO), turbulence slope (TS)and HRV. Pulmonary function tests and echocardiographic examination were performed for measuring left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), right atrial dimension (RAD), right ventricular dimension (RVD), right ventricular wall thickness (RVWT). Then all the parameters were compared between NC group and COPD group, and the relationship between HRT and HRV was investigated. Results Compared with control group, TO was significantly increased [(-0.2±1.1) % vs.(-3.8±2.8) %, t=6. 830,P＜0.01] and TS was decreased [(7.0±3.6) ms/RR vs. (11.7±6.1) ms/RR, t =3. 866, P＜0.01] in COPD group. In time domain HRV parameters, normal RR intervallerinin standart deviation(SDNN), standard deviation of normal-to-normal beats index (SDNNi), standard deviation of the averages of normal sinus to normal sinus (SDANN), mean squared differences of the successive RR intervals (rMSDD), fraction of consecutive normal sinus intervals that differ by more than 50 ms (PNN50) were significantly lower in COPD group than in control group(P＜0. 05). TO was negatively correlated with SDANN and rMSDD (r=-0. 369, P＜0. 05; r=-0.472, P＜0.01).TS was positively correlated with SDNN, SDANN and PNN50 (all P＜0.05), but had no correlation with rMSDD (P＞0. 05). Conclusions HRT and HRV are dramatically blunted in COPD patients.Combination of HRV and prognosis. and HRT may be simple and elegant ways for evaluating cardiac autonomic functions.

AIM: To establish an animal model of experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM) in BALB/c mice and to investigate the expression and significance of Toll-like receptor 3 in mouse EAM. METHODS: BALB/c mice were immunized with cardiac myosin extracted from porcine ventricular myocardium covered by complete freund's adjuvant (CFA) on 0 d and 7 d, then divided into immunized with CFA only. Serum and myocardium samples were collected at 14 d and 21 d after the first immunization. HE staining was used to identify the areas of inflammation. The myosin IgG antibody was examined by indirect ELISA assay. The changes of TLR3 protein and mRNA expression in myocardial tissue were measured by immunohistochemistry and real time-PCR. RESULTS: Compared to control group, immunohistochemistry results showed that there was positive expression of TLR3 in the myocardium of mice with EAM and the mRNA of TLR3 were more than 20 times (P<0.05). The expression of interferon beta mRNA in EAM group was more than 14 times as many as basal expression, that of tumor necrosis factor alpha was more than 18 times (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The expression of Toll-like receptor 3 in myocardium is up-regulated in experimental autoimmune myocarditis. The inflammatory response to cardiac myosin may associate with the TLR3 signal transduction pathway.
