ABSTRACT
Objective A new methodology was established to efficiently obtain the genotype of DNA remained on standard long gun. Methods Direct PCR and silicon membrane method were combined to detect DNA polymorphism of a total of 240 samples at 5 different positions from 48 standard long guns. Results Combining direct PCR and silicon membrane method, we obtained full DNA profiles in 42 out of 48 standard long guns, with a detection rate up to 87.50%. Conclusion The results demonstrate that the combination of direct PCR and silicon membrane method provide a quick and accurate way to detect DNA polymorphism on the standard long gun.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the therapeutic effect of combining use of acupuncture and drugs on rheumatoid arthritis(RA) in the early and the active stages of by the imaging of bone and joint with 99m TC-methlene diphosphate(MDP). Methods: 102 cases of RA in the early and the active stages were randomly allocated into the compound Fengshining group (Group A),acupuncture group(Group B), and compound Fengshining plus acupuncture group(Group C).They were treated for 30 days. All patients were examined before treatment and after treatment by 99m TC-MDP imaging of the whole body, hands and feet, and analyzing method of random interested region was used to count the ratio of radioactivity in the affected area of RA to radioactivity in adjacent normal bone(T/TN). Meanwhile, joint swelling index, joint tenderness index, morning stiffness, gripping force, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were also observed. Results: T/TN of the Group A after treatments had no significant difference comparing with that before treatment(t = 1.35, P＞0.05), while the Group B and C had significant differences(t = 5.31, t=8.97, P＜0.01). The changes of clinical and experimental examination in the Group C had more significant differences than those in the Group A and B(P＜0.05).Conclusion: Acupuncture therapy could promote RA recovery, and combining use of acupuncture and compound Fengshining had better effect.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish the method for the content determination of2,3,5,4'—tetrahydro-xystilbene—2—O—?—D—glucoside in Yangxueshengfa capsules by RP-HPLC.METHODS:Alltima-C 18 was used as the chromatographic column;the acetonitrile-water(15∶85)was taken as the mobile phase with flow speed at1.0ml/min and detection wave?length at320nm.RESULTS:In the range of0.45?g～2.26?g,2,3,5,4'—tetrahydro-xystilbene—2—O—?—D—glucoseide were in direct proportion to the peak area value(r=0.9996),the mean recovery rate was98.32%(RSD=1.58%,n=6). CONCLUSION:This method was simple,convenient and accurate,which can be used for the content determination and the quality control of Yangxueshengfa capsules.
