Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture in preventing delayed cerebral vasospasm (DCVS).Method Sixteen healthy Japanese big ear rabbits were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 8 in each group. The treatment group was developed into models by intramuscular anesthesia on the 6th day after 5 days’ 20-min daily intervention of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation during a specific time period; the control group was developed into models by the same way on the 6th day but without electrical stimulation. The diameter of basilar artery was measured by using CTA prior to the electrical stimulation and after modeling in both groups, the plasma levels of ET-1, CGRP, and IL-6 were detected, and behavioral changes 1 d, 3 d, and 5 d after modeling were observed.Result After modeling, there was a significant difference in comparing the basilar artery diameter between the two groups (P<0.05). The plasma levels of ET-1, CGRP, and IL-6 in the treatment group were significantly different from that in the control group (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the neural function scores 3 d and 5 d after modeling were markedly different from that 1 d after modeling (P<0.05). There were significant differences in comparing the neural function scores 3 d and 5 d after modeling between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Pre-intervention with electroacupuncture prevents and improves DCVS possibly via modulating the levels of ET-1, CGRP, and IL-6, and subsequently involving in anti-inflammation, immune inhibition, and vasodilation.
Résumé
Objective To research the reversal effects of psoralen on multidrug resistant action and its influence on intracellular Ca2+ concentration in MCF-7/ADR cells and to explore its possible mechanisms of reversing multidrug resistance (MDR). Methods The inhibitory effects of psoralen on the viability of MCF-7/ADR cells were determined with MTT assay, intracellular adriamycin (ADR) concentration was assayed with HPLC and the intracellular Ca2+ concentrations in different incubative duration were detected with confocal microscope. Results Psoralen from 1 to 20 μmol/L reduced the value of IC50 of ADR in MCF-7/ADR cells, enhanced accumulation of ADR and influenced Ca2+ concentration with a negative correlation in different duration (24 h, 48 h and 96 h). Conclusion Psoralen can reverse MDR in MCF-7/ADR cells and its mechanism may be related to the increase of the intracellular accumulation of ADR by enhancing the intracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Résumé
Objective:To study the better extraction method for Qidan decoction.Method:Orthogonal design was used to find befitting conditions.The water quantity,extraction time and frequency were selected as observational conditions.The optimum conditions were repeated three times to study repetition.Results:The optimum extracting procedure is 14 times water, extracting 3 times,the time was 30 min each time.The active ingredient content RSD of three parallel trial is 0.86%.Conclusion: The optimal condition for ultrasonic extraction is 14 times water,extracting 3 times,30 min per time.This method is of good repeatability.
Résumé
AIM:To study the rationality and the best dosage of Qidan Decoction (Radix Astragali,Radix et Rhizoma Salviae miltiorrhizae,Fructus Psoraleae,etc.) on inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis. METHODS:The ability of inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis and the activity of NK cell were detected as indexes to appraise the rational and the best dosage. RESULTS:The function of Astragalus membranaceus,Salvia miltiorrhiza.Ege.,psoralea corylifolia and Lycium Barbarum on inhibiting gastric cancer metastasis and rising the activity of NK cell was significant(P
