OBJECTIVE:To explore the regulating effect of pravastatin on hyperlipidemia and hypertension in patients with coronary heart disease.METHODS:80 patients with coronary heart disease were randomly divided into 2 groups,pravastatin treatment group(pravastatin,20 mg,qd,n=42)and placebo control group(placebo,qd,n=38).The course of treatment was 4 weeks in both groups,serum total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were assayed,and systolic blood pressure(SBP)as well as diastolic blood pressure(DBP)were measured before and after 4 weeks of treatment.RESULTS:There was a significant decrease of serum TC and TG levels,as well as DBP in treatment group after treatment,as compared with control group,while HDL-C level increased significantly(P

AimTo study the effect of the total extract of astragalosides(TEA) on the growth, AFP secretion and γ-GT activity of human hepatoma cells invitro.Methods The human hepatoma HepG2 and Bel-7404 cells were cultured with TEA 5～160 mg · L-1 for 6 days. Anti-hepatoma activity was measured by MTT method. AFP was assaysed by ELISA and γ-GT was determined by enzyme-substrate method. Results The growth of the human hepatoma HepG2 and Bel-7404 cells and the secretion of AFP of HepG2 cells were reduced significantly by TEA 5～160 mg· L-1. The γ-GT activity of HepG2 cells was inhibited and its ALB content was increased by TEA 20, 40 and 80 mg · L-1. The γ-GT activity of Bel-7404 cell was inhibited and its ALB content was increased byTEA 40 and 80 mg · L-1 Conclusion These results suggest that TEA has inhibitory effects on the growth, AFP secretion and γ-GT activity of human hepatoma cells.
Résumé
OBEJECTIVE:To study quality differences of compound danshen injections of different batch numbers from different manufactures.METHODS:The fingerprints of compound danshen injections were obtained through gradient elution by HPLC;The contents of danshensu,protocatechualdehyde and savianolic acid B in samples of different batch numbers and different manufactures were determined,and the insoluble fine particle,protein,tannin,resin etc.in samples were studied ac-cording to the specification of China Pharmacopoeia2005.RESULTS:The fingerprints of compound danshen injections were specific;Great differences were found in the contents of danshensu,protocatechualdehyde and salvianolic acid B of the samples from different manufactures,quality discrepancies were found between some of the related substances in some of the prepara-tions and the specifications.CONCLUSION:Quality differences were found in compound danshen injections from different manufactures,therefore,the quality control standards of compound danshen injections should be enhanced and unified,and with regard to the controlling of the insoluble fine particles,the technics and techniques of which should be improved and given a further study.

OBJECTIVE:To study the adsorption of disposable transfusion connective tube and infusion needle for single use only to nitroglycerin in intravenous injection via minipump.METHODS:The intravenous injection via minipump was im-itated;the concentration change of nitroglycerin during the injection process was determined by the high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)and ultraviolet spectrophotometry.RESULTS:Disposable transfusion connective tube and infusion needle for single use only had significant adsorption to nitroglycerin with an mean adsorption rate at(73.88?2.05)%within8hours.CONCLUSION:It is unsuitable to use those disposable transfusion connective tubes and infusion needles for single use only that have strong adsorption to nitroglycerin in the intravenous injection of nitroglycerin via minipump.

OBJECTIVE:To find the quick detection method for serum benzodiazepines concentrations.METHODS:Using flurosence polarization immunoassay method to detect the serum concentration of benzodiazepines(BZDs)in149patients who were suspicious of receiving drug overdose in emergency unit.RESULTS:We got positive results in104samples from149pa?tients,but the levels of BZDs concentration were not coincident with the state of drug overdose.CONCLUSION:The method used in our report is a quick and useful assay for patients with unconfirmed drug overdose in emergency unit,but caution should be taken in the result interpretation to doctors.
Résumé
OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship among the dosage, serum concentration and clinical effect of phenytoin(PHT) in treating epileptic patients .METHODS: 130 steady -- state serum concentrations of PHT were determined by fluores-cence polarization immunoassay(FPIA) in 70 patients with or without other drugs used in combination .RESULTS: The indi-vidual difference among the patients who received routine dosage of PHT was very significant. Intoxication occurred ex-tremely often in patients whose PHT serum concentrations were over 30?g/ml .CONCLUSION: It is necessary to perform TDM(Therapeutic Drug Monitoring) and individualize the use of PHT,so that the safe and effective use of drug can be ensured.
Résumé
Aim To study the effects of total extract of astragalus(TEA) on activating the primary cultured hepatic stellate cells(HSC) and synthesizing collagen. Methods Livers of adult rats were perfused by pronase E and collagenase in situ, HSC and Kupffer cell (KC) were isolated by centrifugation with 18% Nycodenz. The subcultured HSC were induced by Kupffer cell conditioned medium(KCCM) and were incubated with 5～ 80 mg?L -1 TEA for 6 days. The proliferation of the cells was measured by 3H TdR and the production of collagen by 3H Proline.Results TEA (10～ 40 mg?L -1 ) could suppress the proliferation of hepatic stellate cells and TEA(40～ 80 mg?L -1 ) could suppress the production of collagen. Conlusion The suppression of hepatic stellate cell proliferation and the collagen's production by the TEA may be one of the mechanisms for depressing the hepatic fibrosis by the TEA.
