ABSTRACT
Dachengqi Decoction is a classic prescription attacked by Yangming excessive syndromes in clinic, which has the effects of relieving heat, softening and dispersing knots, etc., and is often used in the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by various diseases. This article reviewed the recent studies on the chemical compositions and pharmacological effects of Dachengqi Decoction in recent years. On this basis, combined with the "five principles" of TCM quality markers, the quality markers of Dachengqi Decoction were predicted and analyzed. It is suggested that emodin, Rhein, chrysophanol, aloe-emodin, synephrine, hesperidin, naringin, magnolol and magnolol can be used as quality markers of Dachengqi Decoction.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To analyse the material basis and potential mechanism of Acanthopanax senticosus injection (ASI) in the treatment of ischemic stroke by combining UPLC-Q/TOF-MS and network pharmacology.Methods:The chemical composition of ASI was identified by UPLC-Q/TOF-MS. The Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards and OMIM databases were used to predict the potential targets for the action of ASI in the treatment of ischemic stroke. The String database and Cytoscape software were used to construct protein interaction network maps, and the Omicshare platform was used to perform gene ontology (GO) and KEGG enrichment analysis. The DockThor platform was used for molecular docking.Results:The analysis of 53 components in ASI was firmly established and used as a basis to obtain 189 related targets of ASI for the treatment of ischemic stroke. Reverse screening showed that 25 components in ASI may be important active components in the treatment of ischemic stroke. Functional enrichment studies found that ASI may mainly regulate PI3K-Akt signaling pathway to treat ischemic stroke.Conclusion:This study preliminarily predicted the mechanism of ASI in the treatment of ischemic stroke may be related to inhibition of inflammation, antioxidant stress, promotion of angiogenesis and protection of nerve cells.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To screen the formulation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) polylactic acid (PLA) sustained-release discs (5-FU-PLA-DS),and study its in vitro drug-release mechanism. METHODS:UV spectrophotometry was used to determine the 5-FU content in the release medium. Using simulate body fluid as release medium,in vitro drug-release test was conducted under 37℃water bath. Using PLA with molecular weight of 3000,6000,10000,15000,20000,15 species of round 5-FU-PLA-DS with drug containing of 1.5,2.5,3.0 mg/piece and 3.0 mm in diameter and 1.0 mm in thickness were prepared. Using effective con-centration sustained release time and cumulative release rate as indexes, the optimal formulation was screened. The form of 5-FU-PLA-DS was observed by scanning electron microscopy after release,and its release mechanism was evaluated. RESULTS:In the optimal formulation, the PLA molecular weight was 20000 and drug containing was 3.0 mg/piece. The prepared 5-FU-PLA-DS can release for 119 d,with cumulative release degree of 100.63% and effective concentration sustained for 91 d. Scanning electron microscopy showed that the microspheres at the surface were degraded to the release medium first,and then the microspheres of inner layer exposed and release drug gradually after PLA degraded. The main mechanism of drug-release was melt-ing and diffusion. CONCLUSIONS:5-FU-PLA-DS is successfully prepared,with long release time in effective concentration,can be degraded step by step from outside to inside and achieve non-synchronous drug-release of microspheres at different layers.

ABSTRACT
Sulfonamides (SAs), such as sulfaguanidine (SGD), sulfadiazine (SDZ), sulfathiazole (STZ) and sulfamethazine (SMZ), can drastically inhibit the chemiluminescence (CL) intensities generated in both Ag-Luminol and Ni-Luminol systems.Based on these observations, a novel method of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with CL detection was established.Both the Ag-Luminol and Ni-Luminol CL systems were employed as detectors, and the performances of the two detecting systems were compared.After separated by HPLC, four SAs reacted with Ag-Luminol and Ni-Luminol CL system, respectively.Chromatographic conditions were as follows: reversed-phase C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm,5 μm), gradient elution, and 0.1% (V/V) formic acid-methanol as mobile phase with flow rate of 1 mL/min.CL conditions were as follows: [Ag]=1.4×10.-4 mol/L (in 0.12 mol/L NaOH);[Ni]=1.5×10.-5 mol/L (in 0.12 mol/L NaOH);[Luminol]=1.2×10.-7 mol/L;and flow rate=1.0 mL/min.Under the optimal conditions, the detection limits of Ag-Luminol CL system were 0.15, 0.96, 1.10, 1.50 μg/mL for SGD, SDZ, STZ, and SMZ, respectively, and the recovery were 81.0%-101.5%.Comparatively, the detection limits of Ni-Luminol CL system were 1.5, 17.2, 16.8 μg/mL for SGD, SDZ and STZ, and the recoveries was 83.9%-110.8%.The result showed that the Ag-Luminol CL system had a much better performance.The method was applied to the determination of the residues of the above four SAs in milk with satisfactory results.
ABSTRACT
1,2,4-Butanetriol (BT) is an important non-natural chemical with a variety of industrial applications. A recombinant Escherichia coli biosynthesizing BT from D-xylose was constructed by heterologously expressing xdh and mdlC, and knocking out competing pathway genes including xylA, xylB, yjhE, yagH and ycdW. To optimize BT synthesis pathway, the third catalytic step that catalyzes the decarboxylation reaction of 3-deoxy-D-glycero-pentulosonic acid was identified as a potential bottleneck. Consequently, 2-keto acid decarboxylases from three different microorganisms were screened, and the kivD gene from Lactococcus lactis was found to increase BT titer by 191%. The improved strain BW-025 reached a final BT titer of 2.38 g/L under optimized transformation conditions. Attempts on synthetic pathway optimization were also made by fine-tuning the expression levels of each enzyme involved in the whole pathway based on BW-025. As a result, an xdh overexpressed recombinant strain, BW-074 was finally generated, with 48.62% higher BT production than that of BW-025.

BACKGROUND:Different methods of internal fixation can be selected during the repair of femoral shaft fractures in the clinic, including bridging combined internal fixation and metal locking plate screw fixation. OBJECTIVE: To compare the biomechanical properties of bridging combined internal fixation and metal locking plate screw fixation for femoral shaft fracture. METHODS:Eighteen femoral samples were colected and randomly divided to three groups, with six in each group. In the normal control group, no treatment was given. In the other groups, models of femoral shaft fracture were established. In the bridging combination group, samples underwent bridging combined internal fixation. In the locking plate screw group, samples underwent metal locking plate screw fixation. Biomechanical test was conducted in samples of the three groups. In the femoral compression experiments, we recorded the maximum displacement under the maximal load 500 N. In the femoral flexion experiment, we recorded the maximum displacement under the maximal load of 100 N. In the femoral retroversion experiment, we recorded the maximum displacement under the maximal load of 100 N. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Compression experiment at different loads: the maximum displacement was larger in the bridging combination group and locking plate screw group than in the normal control group. Under the maximum load of 500 N, the maximum displacement was significantly larger in the bridging combination group and locking plate screw group than in the normal control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the maximum displacement was significantly less in the bridging combination group than in the locking plate screw group (P< 0.05). (2) Flexion experiment under different loads: the maximum displacement was larger in the bridging combination group and locking plate screw group than in the normal control group. Under the maximal load of 100 N, the maximum displacement was significantly larger in the bridging combination group and locking plate screw group than in the normal control group (P< 0.05). Moreover, the maximum displacement was significantly smaler in the bridging combination group than in the locking plate screw group (P < 0.05). (3) Retroflexion experiment under different loads: the maximum displacement was larger in the bridging combination group and locking plate screw group than in the normal control group. Under the maximal load of 100 N, the maximum displacement was significantly larger in the bridging combination group and locking plate screw group than in the normal control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the maximum displacement was significantly smaler in the bridging combination group than in the locking plate screw group (P < 0.05). (4) These results suggested thatin vitro simulated femoral shaft fracture bridging combination fixation and metal locking plate screw system can obtain good fixation effect; the design meets the principle of biomechanics. Among them, bridging combined internal fixation can maintain a smaler displacement, suggesting good deformation resistance under compressive stress, anteflexion and retroflexion stress.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore application of targeted contrast enhanced ultrasonography in diagnosis of early stage vascular endothelial injury and diabetic nephropathy.Methods:Targeted SonoVue-TM microbubble was prepared by attaching anti-TM monoclonal antibody to the surface of ordinary micro-bubble SonoVue by biotin-avidin bridge method and ultrasonic instrument was used to evaluate the developing situation of targeted microbubble in vitro. Twenty 12-week-old male GK rats and 20 Wistar rats were enrolled in this study, and were randomly divided into targeted angiography group and ordinary angiography group. Targeted microbubbles SonoVue-TM or general microbubble SonoVue were rapidly injected to the rats via tail vein; the developing situation of the two contrast agents in rats kidneys was dynamically observed. Time intensity curve was used to analyse rat kidney perfusion characteristics in different groups. Results:Targeted ultrasound microbubble SonoVue-TM was successfully constructed, and it could be used to develop an external image. Targeted microbubbles SonoVue-TM enabled clear development of experimental rat kidney. Time intensity curve shapes of rat kidney of the two groups showed as single apex with steep ascending and slowly descending branch. Compared with the control group, the rising slope of the GK rat renal cortex, medulla in targeted angiography group increased(P<0.05); the peak intensity of medulla increased (P<0.05), and the total area under the curve of medulla increased (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the ascending branch of the GK rat in renal cortex, medulla in ordinary angiography group increased (P<0.05). The peak intensity of the curve increased (P<0.05), and the total area under the curve increased (P<0.05). Compared with the ordinary angiography group, the peak of GK rat medullacurve in targeted angiography group intensity increased (P<0.05), and the total area under the curve increased (P<0.05).Conclusions:Targeted microbubbles SonoVue-TM can make a clear development of experimental rat kidney, its stable performance meet the requirement of ultrasonic observation time limit, and it can reflect early changes of blood perfusion in GK rat kindey.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the repair effects of co-expression of the VEGF and BMP genes via an adeno-as-sociated viral vector on early steroid-induced avascular necrosis of the femoral head in rabbits. Methords To construct ani-mal model of early SANFH and screen by MRI. The SANFH animal were divided into rAAV-IRES-hrGFP(AAV-GFP), rAAV-hVEGF165-IRES-hrGFP(AAV-VEGF), rAAV-hBMP-7-IRES-hrGFP(AAV-BMP)and rAAV-hVEGF165-IRES-hBMP-7(AAV-VEGF/BMP)groups. The four group virus vectors were injected into core decompression region at the dose of 25μl/site after core decompression operation directly. Repair effects of rAAV vector on early SANFH in rabbits were evaluated by Western blot assay, HE staining, immunohistochemical staining, MRI, radionuclide bone scan, blood vessel counting detected by ink perfusion and fro-zen section, Micro-CT and biomechanical strength detection on the 12th week post-injection. Results Model success ratio was 73.33%. rAAV-hVEGF165-IRES-hBMP-7 virus vector efficiently expressed hVEGF165 and hBMP-7 genes on the 12th week after rAAV injection. hVEGF165 protein secreted in vivo promoted metabolism in core decompression region by increasing the quantity of new vessels and improving the blood supply;hBMP-7 protein secreted in vivo promoted new bone formation in core decompres-sion region by increasing bone mineral density and improving bone biomechanical strength. The AAV-VEGF/BMP group can pro-mote repair effects more effectively than AAV-VEGF group or AAV-BMP group. Conclusion The adeno-associated viral vectors co-expressing hVEGF165 and hBMP-7 can promote repair effects on early SANFH in rabbits by increasing the blood supply and strengthening the bone quality of femoral head.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Autologous micro-skin graft covered with alogeneic skin has become a major means for repair of extremely severe burn wounds. Due to the limitation of the source of alogeneic skin, heterogeneous skin (pigskin) or artificial skin serves as a vector to cover the wound on the clinical use. OBJECTIVE: To observe the curative effect of thin-thickness micro-skin pulping covered with heterogeneous skin for repair of burn wounds in comparison with blade-thickness micro-skin pulping covered with heterogeneous skin. METHODS:A self-control study was performed in 36 patients with severe burns of bilateral limbs. There were 42 pairs of wounds, 32 of which were at joint sites. One or two pairs of III-degree burns treated with escharectomy were selected from each patient for self-control comparison. Covered with heterogeneous skin, thin-thickness micro-skin pulping and blade-thickness micro-skin pulping were used in the trial and control groups, respectively. The expansion ratio was controled at 1:8-1:12 in al patients. Wound healing time, degree of scar hyperplasia within 6 months to 2 years after transplantation, and ratio of reconstruction surgery at joint sites were observed and compared. The removed scars by surgery were analyzed based on the total score of the Vancouver Scar Scale. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The average wound healing time was (44.7±1.24) days in the trial group and (49.6±1.41) days in the control group, and there was a significant difference between the two groups (P 0.05). The reconstructive surgery ratio of the trial group was 38%, significantly lower than that of the control group (59.38%;P < 0.01). The total score on the Vancouver Scar Scale was less in the trial group than the control group (P < 0.05). These findings suggest that the thin-thickness micro-skin covered with heterogeneous skin is likely to be a better treatment to repair large ful-thickness skin burn by increasing the thickness of micro-skin, and it can obtain better wound healing quality.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate clinical characteristics and treatment of Hoffa fractures.Methods Twenty patients with Hoffa fracture (24 condyles) were treated from January 2002 to April 2009.They were 14 men (18 condyles) and 6 women (6 condyles), aged from 20 to 70 years (average, 43. 3 years).There were 15 fractures of medial femoral condyle and 9 ones of lateral femoral condyle. Two rare cases were fractures of unilateral bi-condyles and one rare case fractures of unilateral bi-condyles plus contralateral single condyle. Four fractured condyles were old due to implant failure and 20 were fresh. According to the modified Letenneur's classification, there were 6 condyles of type Ⅰ, 4 condyles of type Ⅱ and 14 condyles of type Ⅲ.Fifteen condyles were fixed anteroposteriorly with 2 to 4 cancellous or canulated screws, 8 condyles were fixed posteroanteriorly with 2 to 4 screws, and one condyle was fixed with K wires. Five condyles were fixed with screws plus lateral supporting plates, and 3 condyles with screws plus posterior anti-sliding plates. Results All the patients were followed up for an average of 14. 4 months (6 to 84 months) . All the 24 condyles obtained bony union after an average of 18. 6 weeks (from 12 to 44 weeks). There was no infection, implant failure, nonunion or bone necrosis. According to Letenneur's functional assessment system, 16 condyles were excellent, 6 good and 2 poor, with a good-to-excellent rate of 91. 7%. Conclusions All Hoffa fractures should be treated with screws. Screw diameter, fixation direction and surgical incision should depend on facture type and size of fracture block. Unstable Hoffa fractures should be treated with screws combined with lateral supporting plates or posterior anti-sliding plates.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in quantitatively evaluating the evolution of the blood supply of rabbit liver VX2 tumor models in early stage. Methods Eighteen liver VX2 tumor models of rabbits were divided into 3 groups randomly (each n=6). CEUS was performed on the 10th, 15th and 20th day group after establishemnt, resepectively. Time intensity curve (TIC) was plotted, the rabbits' liver tumor and surrounding normal liver tissue were resected for immuno-histochemistry and microvessel density (MVD) count. Results CEUS showed that the rabbit liver VX2 tumor present a typical malignant tumor imaging fast-in and fast-out in early stage. TIC showed that the time to peak (TTP) of hepatic tumor is shorter than that of surrounding normal liver tissue in all three groups (P<0.01), no statistical difference of tumor's TTP was detected among three groups (P>0.05). Absolute enhanced intensity (AEI) and MVD reduced in turn of 10th, 15th and 20th day group. MVD of tumor was higher in 10thday group than surrounding normal liver tissue (P<0.01), while was equal in 15th day group (P>0.05) and lower in 20th day group (P<0.01). AEI of liver tumor had positive correlation with MVD (r=0.83, P<0.05). Conclusion AEI of TIC can be used to quantitatively assess the evolution of the blood supply in rabbit liver VX2 tumor models. The blood supply in early stage of rabbit liver VX2 tumor models shows a gradual descent process from abundant blood supply to medium blood supply and then low blood supply.
