RESUMO
Objective To observe the effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation quadruple therapy on serum thromboxane A2 (TXA2), prostacyclin (PGI2) and platelet activating factor (PAF) levels in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods Ninety patients with AP admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of TCM from January 2016 to March 2017, and they were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the random numbers generated by computer inpatients, 45 cases in each group. The control group was given routine treatment of western medicine, and the observation group was given TCM syndrome differentiation quadruple therapy according to the patient's disease individual situation and on the basis of western medicine treatment. The TCM syndrome differentiation quadruple therapy included the following methods: intragastric administration of TCM decoction [gastrointestinal excess heat syndrome (rhubarb, sodium sulfate, aurantii fructus immaturus, magnolia bark, etc.), damp heat syndrome of liver and gallbladder (radix bupleuri, aurantii fructus immaturus, baical skullcap root, rhubarb, etc.), each group of above agents immersed in water and decocted to make juice 400 mL, once 100 mL taken orally, every 4 hours]; retention enema with TCM decoction [rhubarb, magnolia bark, aurantii fructus immaturus, sodium sulfate (dissolved) etc, each dose of agents forming decoction 400 mL, 200 mL taken for proctoclysis, once every 6 hours]; Chinese medicine package (boswellin, myrrha, dandelion, coptidis rhizoma and so on crushed and mixed with honey, then applied to the body surface of the pancreas and its periphery, 1 dose each time for 4 hours, once a day ); intravenous drip of blood-activating and stasis-resolving TCM (Dengzhanhuasu injection 100 mg added to 5% glucose solution 250 mL for intravenous drip). The times of disappearance of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and the recovery times of bowel sound, blood amylase, lipase, C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC) levels to normal were compared between the two groups; the modified CT severity index (MCTSI) score and the changes of serum TXA2, PAF and PGI2 levels were observed before and after treatment in the two groups. Results The abdominal pain and abdominal distension disappearance times in observation group were shorter than those in control group [abdominal pain (days): 5.07±1.88 vs. 6.02±1.89, abdominal distension (days): 3.50±1.49 vs. 4.40±1.53, both P < 0.05]; the recovery times of bowel sounds, WBC, CRP, amylase and lipase to normal were shorter than those of the control group [bowel sounds (days): 4.05±1.79 vs. 5.00±1.55, WBC (days): 3.93±1.49 vs. 5.98±2.90, CRP (days): 6.17±2.46 vs. 7.92±2.84, blood amylase (days): 3.5 (3.0, 5.0) vs. 5.0 (3.0, 5.5), lipase (days): 5.0 (3.0, 7.0) vs. 6.5 (5.0, 9.0), all P <0.05]; the scores of MCTSI in the two groups were lower than those before treatment and the degree of decrease in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group [2 (0, 4) vs. 4 (0, 6), P < 0.05]. The TXA2 and PAF levels of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment and the level of PGI2 was significantly higher than that before treatment; after treatment for 3 days, the differences between the two groups showed statistical significance and on the 7th day after treatment, the degrees of improvement in observation group were more obvious than those of the control group [TXA2 (ng/L): 276.81±31.48 vs. 345.42±47.27, PAF (ng/L): 72.65±17.61 vs. 89.77±15.59, PGI2 (ng/L): 104.43±18.67 vs. 94.37±17.91, all P < 0.05]; on the 14th day after treatment, the values of the two groups were very close and there were no statistically significant differences (all P >0.05). Conclusions The TCM differentiation syndrome quadruple therapy for treatment of AP is beneficial to the disappearance of clinical symptoms of patients with different syndromes, recovery of abnormal signs and improvement of laboratory indexes, and its early use can significantly reduce the serum levels of TXA2, PAF and increase the level of PGI2 in patients with AP.

RESUMO
Objective: To evaluate the safety and anticoagulant efficacy of domestic bivalirudin injection during emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: A total of 75 STEMI patients were randomly divided into 2 groups according to anticoagulant used in emergent PCI procedure. Bivalirudin group, the patients received intravenous domestic bivalirudin, n=40 and Heparin group, n=35. The activated clotting time (ACT) was tested at pre-PCI, 5 minutes after medication, immediately after PCI, 30 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours after medication respectively. The activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT) and ifbrinogen (FIB) level were measured at before medication and 6, 24, 72 hours after medication. Results: All patients in Bivalirudin group had ACT>225s at 5min after medication as PCI requirement, while 1 patient in Heparin group could not reach the requirement and the extra dose was added. Both groups maintained ACT>225s during PCI procedure. Bivalirudin group had the lower ACT levels than those in Heparin group at 30 min, 1-and 2-hour after the medication, P0.05. The no-cardiac event surviving rate at 30 days after PCI in Bivalirudin group and in Heparin group were similar P>0.05 and the mild bleeding at 24 hours after PCI in Bivalirudin group was lower (0 vs 11.43)%, P Conclusion: Compared with heparin, domestic bivalirudin may take faster effect, with shorter half-life period for anticoagulation during emergent PCI procedure in STEMI patients.

2?mol/L) was obvious and the inhibitive degree was nearly 100% when the concentrations of arsenic trioxide and cisplatin were 12?mol/L and 4?mol/L. 2.Higher concentrations of arsenic trioxide and cisplatin perturbed cell through S-phase and up-regulated p53 gene expressions.Conclusions The inhibitive effect of arsenic trioxide combined with cisplatin was more obvious than either one used separately; the apoptosis mechanism of ovarian cancer cell line HO-8910 is related with perturbing of S phase and up-regulating of p53 gene expression.
RESUMO
Objective To study the antitumor fraction from liquid submerged fermentation of Ganoderma sinense. Methods The antitumor active fractions were extracted from the hyphostroma which was produced by liquid submerged fermentation and their antitumor activities were observed by mice transplant tumor model. The total polysaccharides were tested by phenol-sulphuric acid method and the contents of reducing sugars were measured by DNS method. The cytotoxic activities were tested by MTT method in vitro. Results The optimum fraction was the intracellular soluble precipitation (sample B) by water extracting with alcohol sedimentation. The contents of total polysaccharide and reducing sugar in the optimum active fraction from liquid submerged fermentation of G. sinense were 88.4% and 3.15%, respectively, but no protein. The inhibitory ratios were 63.94% and 58.32% on the growth of H22 and Lewis tumor transplanted in mice by ig administration in the concentration of 40.5 mg/kg, respectively. The IC50 on four tumor cells of A549, LoVo, CEM, and QGY-7703 were 160, 29.28, 45.06, and 37.38 ?g/mL, respectively, which suggested that the active fraction had weak cytotoxic on LoVo, CEM, and QGY-7703. Conclusion The active fraction from liquid submerged fermentation of G. sinense is polysaccharide which has better inhibitory rate on the growth of H22 and Lewis tumor transplanted in mice but their cytotoxicities are weak.
