ABSTRACT
We retrospectively analyzed 218 allergen skin prick tests ( SPT ) of the patients with chronic sinusitis with or without nasal polyps( CRSwNP/CRSsNP) before the operation. The proportions of positive SPT in CRSwNP and CRSsNP were compared respectively. The distributions of allergens were the same in all groups. The positive rate of SPT in CRSwNP was higher than that in CRSsNP, with statistical significance(P<0. 05). The positive rate of SPT in CRSsNP was higher than that of the control group, without statistical significance. The recurrence rate in CRSwNP was higher than that in CRSsNP, with statistical significance. The recurrence rate in the allergen-positive patients was higher than the allergen-negative patients, with statistical significance.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of aloe polysaccharides (AP) pre-emptive treatment on the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB),ntercellulor adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and cell apoptosis in hippocampal brain tissue in rats with severely hemorrhagic shock for the first time of entering high altitude.Methods Forty healthy male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly (random number) divided into 5 groups (n =8 each):sham group,shock group and AP group which was further divided into 3 subgroups as per different dosages of AP administered (AP1:0.75 mg/kg; AP2:1.50 mg/kg; AP3:3.00 mg/kg).Rats in sham group were treated with surgical procedure without exsanguination.Rats in shock group were exsanguinated until hemorrhagic shock emerged without resuscitation.Rats in AP subgroups were intravenously infused with given doses of AP in different AP subgroups at 30 min before hemorrhagic shock.MAP was dropped to (35 ±5) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) in 15 min by bleeding from femoral artery,the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was maintained at (35 ±5) mmHg for 60 min with bleeding or re-transfusing.At 3 h after resuscitation,rats were sacrificed immediately by bleeding,and the hippocampus of brain was harvested on the ice.The expressions of NF-κB and ICAM-1 in the hippocampus of rats were determined by immuno-histochemical method,and number of cell apoptosis in the hippocampus of rats was determined by TUNEL.The means were compared with analysis of variance and Student-NewmanKeuls test,and statistical significance was established at a P value of less than 0.05.Results Compared with sham group,the expressions of NF-κB (5.03 ±0.42),ICAM-1 (4.14 ±0.29) and number of cell apoptosis (44.3 ± 7.2) in hippocampal tissue were significantly increased in shock group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in these three variables between shock group and AP1 group.Compared with shock group,the expressions of NF-κB (3.12 ±0.34),ICAM-1 (2.93 ±0.21) and number of cell apoptosis (24.8 ± 3.6) in hippocampal tissue were significantly decreased in AP2 group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences in these three variables between AP2 and AP3 groups.Conclusion AP pre-emptive treatment can significantly attenuate the expressions of NF-κB,ICAM-1 and number of cell apoptosis in hippocampal tissue in hemorrhagic shock rats.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze p-coumaril acid, trans-6-O-p-coumaroyl scandoside methyl ester and its metabolites in rat plasma after intragastric administration of exocarpium Diffusa effective extracts.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Rat blood samples were collected 1.0 h after oral administration of 0.4 g x kg(-1) exocarpium Diffusa effective extracts, and then were analyzed by using HPLC-Q-TOF-MS.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>In rat plasma, only one metabolite was detected. The structure was identified by reference substance to be p-coumaril acid.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The methyl glucoside metabolite in rat from the main component parts of trans-6-O-p-coumaroyl scandoside methyl ester droppings of vines in Diffusa effective extracts is p-coumaril acid. This experiment provides a theortical basis for studying chemical compositions and pharmacodynamic action of Diffusa.</p>

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics in dogs with hemorrhagic shock at the initial stage of getting high altitude. Method he models of severe hemohagic shock were established in 13 mongrel dogs after they were brought to the high altitude a/ea and were mndondvvided inIo 3 group: LR group(n=3),6% HES group(n=5)and control group(n=5).The dogs in LR group wefe intravenously infused with lactated Ringers solution in 1.5 limes exsanguinated volume;those in 6% HES group were given hydroxyethyl starch in equal volume of exsanquination. A drop of solution waft noven to dogs in con,trol group.One hour after restritation,lactated Ringers solution waft infused at 5 Ilps as maintenance dose.The hemodynmnic variables were recorded.Results All animals in control group died two hour later.In LR group,the hemedynamie variables including MAP,CO,PAWP,CVP,LVSWI and RVSWI two hours after infiion were signifieantly higher than those.one hour after infusion(P<0.05),while HR,SVRd PVR were significantly lower(P<0.05).In dogs of 6% HES group,CO,PAP,PAWP,CVP,SVR and PVR two hours after infusion were significantly higher than those one hour after infusion(P<0.05),but MAP.HR.CI,LVSWI and RVSWI were not significantly different(P>0.05).Conclusions All of three doith hen rhagic shock would die(3/3)at the initial stage of being brought to high altitude alles without fluid resuscitation. Fluid resuscitation with LR solution 1.5 times the exsanquinated volume was effective and safe. The infusion of 6% hydroxyethyl starch at equal volume of exsanqination may easily cause heart failure or pulmonary edema.
ABSTRACT
AIM: To study the chromatographic fingerprint for Schizonepeta tenuisfolia Briq. by gas chromatography (GC). METHODS: The GC equipped with FID detector and a Varian CP-Sil 24 CB capillary column was used. The temperature program of column oven was as follows: 50℃, held for 3 min; increased at a rate of 2 ℃/min to 110℃, then at 6℃/min to 250℃, held for 5 min. RESULTS: The analytic method for fingerprint of Schizonepeta tenuisfolia Briq. was developed and validated. The fingerprint for Schizonepeta tenuisfolia Briq. was established. CONCLUSION: The method is simple, precise and reliable. The fingerprint is helpful to the quality control of Schizonepeta tenuisfolia Briq. in Chaijing Injection.
