ABSTRACT
Tujia ethnic medical science is an important sub-discipline of China's ethnic medicine system, which has rooted in major Tujia ethnic area such as Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou and Chongqing. It has its own theory, medication characteristic and experi-ence towards ethnic drugs. Particularly, in medication incompatibility, it has formed the principle of thirteen or fourteen incompatible medicament of traditional Tujia ethnic drugs, which play a certain role in guiding the usage and compatibility of tens of thousands of herbs. Focusing on the incompatibility that is abided by Tujia medical workers, the essay makes a textual study on the origin of herbs and conducts a preliminary study on the theoretical basis of thirteen or fourteen incompatible medicaments in terms of four properties of drugs and toxic and side-effect by reference to the records on nature and flavor and effectiveness, with a view of providing a preference to improve the incompatibility theory of traditional Chinese medicines and new ideas to further studies on the development and application of traditional ethnic drugs.

[Objective]To explore the curative effect of the three diamen sional external fixation frame and limited internal fixation in treating the comminuted fracture of the shaft of humerus.[Method]Twenty-eight patients of the comminuted fracture of the shaft of humerus were treated from Jan 2000 to May 2006.According to the AO/ASIF,there were 5 cases of the B1 type,3 cases of the B2 type,9 cases of the B3 type,6 cases of the C1 type,4 cases of the C2 type,1 case of the C3 type.All of them were treated by the three diamensional external fixation frame and limited internal fixation of the screws or wires,and all of them were given the reasonable rehabilitation training at 3 day after the operation.The curative effect of the operation,the complications,the fracture healing and the function appraisal were analyzed.[Result]The 28 patients were followed-up for 10～15 months(average 13 months),27 cases had the frature healed and the healing rate was 96.4%.The healing period of the fracture lasted from 12 weeks to 33 weeks,average 19.5 weeks.Only 1 case was not healed.The functions of the shoulder and the elbow were normal,the excellent rate was 92.8%.[Conclusion]The three diamensional external fixation frame and limited internal fixation is a better method in treating the comminuted fracture of the shaft of humerus.It fits the rule of minimal-invasive-biology. The operation is simple,and the fixation is reliable,the function is satisfactory.
ABSTRACT
[Objective]To discussthe clinic effective and the application value of the fibula fixation in treating the complex and comminuted fracture of the tibiofibular.[Method]At first,we reduced and fixed up the fibula fracture anatomically as the support to reduce the tibia fracture indirectly,then we fixed up the tibia fracture by using intramedullary nail or external fixators.[Result]In the 23 cases of the tibiofibular fracture,10 cases of the fibula fracture were almost anatomically reduced,13 cases were reduced functionally,the wounds were cured without parenchyma infection or bone infection.The follow-up time was 13 months averagedly.The time of clinical healing was from 13 weeks to 21 weeks.The cases which were excellently cured was 20,which were well cured was 2,which was tolerably cured was 1 by the Johner-Wrushs grade standard.[Conclusion]This method was designed reasonably,operated simply,acceded with the minimal-invasive and biological rule of the bone fractuer treatment,profited to the heal of the fracture,it was a prefect mean to cure the complex and comminuted fracture of the tibiofibular.
ABSTRACT
Aim To search for colchicine derivatives which have high efficacy and low toxicity. Methods Colchicine was firstly converted into thiocolchicine, and then it was hydrolyzed to get 7-(N-deacetylthiocolchicine). At last, 7-(N-deacetylthiocolchicine) was amidated to get the target compounds. The chemical structure of these new derivatives was confirmed with 1H NMR, IR, MS, and HR-MS. The cytotoxicity of the compounds was tested by MTT assay. Their in vivo antitumor activity was evaluated against mice tumor H22 and U14. Results Twelve thiocolchicine derivatives are new compounds. Conclusion In vitro antitumor activity has showed that some of these thiocolchicines possessed cytotoxic activity superior to colchicine. However, in vivo antitumor activity indicated that these derivatives have poor efficacy in mice.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To establish a determination method of Bergenin content in Dicha Kechuan oral liquid by HPLC.Methods:The separation was performed on SHIMADZU VP-ODS C18 column(150mm?4.6mm,5?m),the mobile phase was carbinol-water(20:80) with a flow rate of 1.0ml/min.The column temperature was room temperature and the detection wavelength was 275nm.Results:The linear range of Bergenin was 0.2575-5.150?g,the regression equation of working curve was Y=812702.2X-80626.3,r=0.9998,the average recovery was 101.4% and RSD 1.67%(n=5).Conclusion:This method is simple,reproducible,and can be used for quality control of Dicha Kechuan Oral Liquid and the semifinished product.
ABSTRACT
The article emphasizes to expound the correlative characteristic theory of science of Tujia herbs from nation and district,concept and attribute of subject,medical foundament,basic theory(denomination feature,nature and class of herb),application(preparation,compatibility,contraindications,dosage,administration and pharmacotherapy) and so on,and analyzes the various objective existing differences between science of Tujia herbs and Chinese materia medica,reveals the mirror meaning between the two traditional materia medica systems,and defines the concept of "science of Tujia herbs" for the first time,then lets scholars recognize and understand the science of ethno-medicines of China more completely,and provids some study ideas for research on ethnic medicine.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To isolate genes related to benflumetol resistance in the rodent malaria P.berghei K173 strain.Methods:The mRNA differential display technique was used to identify differentially expressed genes between drug-sensitive P.berghei K173 strain and benflumetol-resistant strain selected under benflumetol pressure.Northern blot was performed in order to determine the genes actually derived from maternal strains.Results:PCR reactions were prepared respectively with twenty-four pairs of primers in each of the strains.Thirty-three differentially displayed genes fragments were cloned and eight of them were sequenced. The eight sequences were novel ESTs and were submitted to GenBank. Homology searching revealed that clone CB52 was slightly homologous to P.falciparum cyclophilin gene. Hybridization confirmed that the gene fragment CB52 was upregulated in the benflumetol-resistant parasite strain, while downregulated in the chloroquine-resistant strain.Conclusions:CB52 fragment was involved in the benflumetol resistance in P.berghei and the genetic mechanisms of drug-resistance to benflumetol and chloroquine were different.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the antimalarial activity of naphthoquine phosphate combined with artemisinine against Plasmodium knowlesi in rhesus monkey.Methods Monkeys were randomly divided into 9 groups(3/group).The monkeys in groups A and B were treated i.g.once daily for 3 days with 6 or 10 mg/kg of naphthoquine phosphate respectively.Those in groups C and D were treated i.g.twice for the 1st day and once for the 2nd and 3rd day with 31.6 or 100 mg/kg of artemisinine respectively.In groups E, F and G, they were treated i.g.only once with the combination of naphthoquine phosphate 10 mg/kg and artemisinine 10, 20 or 25 mg/kg respectively.Groups H and I served as controls which were treated i.g.only once with 10 mg/kg of naphthoquine phosphate and 30 mg/kg of artemisinine respectively.Parasitemia was examined beginning 24 h after drug administration.The observation lasted 105 days when no more parasite was found.Results At 24 h after drug administration, the parasite reduction rate in all groups was higher than 90%.The parasite clearance time for groups E, F and G was(56.0?16.0),(53.3?4.6), and(56.0?8.0) h respectively, more rapid than that of Group H(69.3?4.6) h.There were 1, 3, 3, 2, 2, and 3 monkeys in groups A, B, D, E, F, and G respectively which were cured.No monkeys were cured in groups C, H and I.Conclusion The combination of naphthoquine phosphate and artemisinine is superior to the single component and the optimum proportion in the combination is 1:2.5 in treating P.knowlesi infection in monkeys.
