ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang combined with acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of localized scleroderma. MethodA total of 95 patients with localized scleroderma treated in Wuhan No. 1 Hospital from September 2019 to October 2021 were assigned into a control group （47 patients） and an observation group （48 patients） by random number table method. The control group was treated with Centella triterpenes tablets and heparin sodium cream， and the observation group was additionally treated with Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang combined with acupuncture and moxibustion. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks， and the clinical effect was compared between groups. The traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） syndrome score （local skin sclerosis， loss of skin texture， darkening of skin pigment， scaly dry skin， etc.）， serum levels of soluble interleukin-2 receptor （sIL-2R） and tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α）， erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR）， and eosinophil count （EO） were compared between before and after treatment as well as between groups. Additionally， the adverse reactions were recorded. ResultThe observation group had higher total effective rate than the control group ［95.83% （46/48） vs. 82.98% （39/47）， χ2=4.166 4， P<0.05］. Before treatment， the TCM syndrome score， sIL-2R， TNF-α， ESR， and EO showed no significant differences between the two groups. The 8 weeks of treatment improved the TCM syndrome score， sIL-2R， TNF-α， ESR， and EO. Moreover， the observation group was superior to the control group in these indicators （P<0.05）. During the treatment， the observation group showed 1 case of abnormal liver function and 1 case of nausea and vomiting， and the control group had 1 case of nausea and vomiting， 1 case of abnormal renal function， and 1 case of abnormal liver function. The total adverse reactions of the observation group （4.17%） and the control group （6.38%） had no significant difference （χ2=0.233 9， P=0.062 86）. ConclusionMahuang Xixin Fuzitang combined with acupuncture and moxibustion is safe and effective in the treatment of localized scleroderma.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect and underlying mechanism of rosmarinic acid in the apoptosis of HepG2 cells. Meth-ods:An MTT method was used to determine the inhibitory effect on the growth of HepG2 cells treated with rosmarinic acid for 48 hours. Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptosis after treated with rosmarinic acid at different concentrations for 24 h and 48 h. Western Blotting was used to detect the expression of P53 and c-Myc protein after treated with rosmarinic acid for 48 h. Results:When HepG2 cells were treated with rosmarinic acid at the concentrations of 12. 50, 25. 00, 50. 00 and 100. 00 μg·ml-1 for 48 h, the cell growth was inhibited and the half-inhibitory concentration (IC50) was 43. 48μg·ml-1. By comparing HepG2 cells treated with rosma-rinic acid at different concentrations for 24 h and 48 h, rosmarinic acid had the effect on the early apoptosis of HepG2 cells after the 48-hour treatment. When treated with rosmarinic acid at the different concentrations for 48 h, the expression of c-Myc decreased with the concentration increase of rosmarinic acid, and the expression of P53 increased with the concentration increase of rosmarinic acid. Con-clusion:The inhibitory effect of rosmarinic acid on the proliferation of HepG2 cells is in a dose-dependent manner, and it can promote the apoptosis of HepG2 cells through the activation of P53 and the cleavage of proto-oncogene c-Myc protein.
ABSTRACT
Dysphagia increases the risks of mortality and palindromia post stroke, and influences the rehabilitation and quality of life. All the patients with stroke need a set of clinical screening, and those positive would accept comprehensive evaluation, both bedside and lab-oratory. Many approaches have been used for dysphagic rehabilitation, but it is not clear what the best is.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To optimize water reflux extraction technology of Jiuwei yiwei mixture. METHODS:With the over-all score of the content of salvianoli acid B,a water-soluble component of the principal drug Salvia miltiorrhiza,the content of pae-oniflorin in Paeonia Radix Rubra and dry ointment yield rate as the observed index,and taking soaking time,extraction time, amount of water added,and extraction times as the factors,L9(34)orthogonal test was designed to optimize the extraction technolo-gy of Jiuwei yiwei mixture. And the verification test was conducted. RESULTS:The optimal technology was to add water with an amount 8 times as much as that of the drugs to soak them for 1 h and to conduct extraction twice,1 h for each. The overall scores of 3 batches of samples in the verification test were respectively 98.793,99.078 and 99.220(RSD<2%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimal technology for Jiuwei yiwei mixture is stable and feasible.
