RESUMO
Objective To summarize clinical experience in application of nail-bed lengthening operation for fingertip injuries.Methods From September 2003 to May 2007,36 patients (25 men and 11 women) aged 16 -45 years (26 in average) with nail defect by fingertip injuries underwent reconstruction operation using nail-bed lengthening at Orthopaedics and Traumatology Hospital of Taizhou,with the thumb involved in 15 cases,the index finger in 10 cases,the middle finger in eight eases and the ring finger in three case.A skin rectangle with thickness of 2 - 3 mm and width as that of the nail was resected at the skin edge 5 -6 mm distant from the epenychium,without damage to underlying subcutaneous vascular network, and U-shape skin flap was delicately slid proximally with its ends sutured.Results All surgical operations for nail lengthening were uneventful and clinically satisfactory,and the appearance of the thumb or other fingers was good during follow-up for six months to three years (19 months in average).Conclusions Nail lengthening for fingertip injuries with nail defect is a simple and effective surgical operation which could improve the appearance of the thumb and other fingers.
RESUMO
AIM:To explore the therapeutic effect of dexamethasone Angelica sinensis polysaccharide prodrug(DEX-AP) on trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS) induced ulcerative colitis(UC) in rats and its side effects.METHODS: The experimental UC rats were induced by clusis of the solution of TNBS in 45% alcoho1(50(mg?ml~(-1))).The UC rats were orally administrated with(0.25)(?mol?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) DEX and(0.05),(0.25),(1.25)(?mol?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) DEX-AP(calculated by carried DEX in DEX-AP) for 7 days,respectively.The rats were killed after the amount of peripheral blood lymphocyte was counted,then the spleen,thymus and colon were separated and weighted.After the ulcerative area of colon was calculated,the colonic myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity was determined and parts of colon were paraffin sectioned and examined under light microscope by HE stain.RESULTS: After the UC rats were administrated with different doses of DEX-AP for 7 days,the ulcerative area,the weight and the MPO activity of colon reduced significantly.The reduction of MPO activity was correlated to the dose of DEX-AP and the MPO activity with DEX-AP at the doses of(0.25),(1.25)(?mol?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) reduced more significantly than that with DEX at the the dose of(0.25)(?mol?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)).The number of peripheral blood lymphocyte,spleen weight and thymus weight of UC rats reduced significantly at the dose of(0.25)(?mol?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) DEX(P
RESUMO
AIM: To explore the transport and delivery of active drug from dexamethasone-angelica sinensis polysaccharides prodrug in the gastrointestinal tract of rats. METHODS: Dexamethasone and the prodrug were orally administered to rats at the dose of 1.96 mg?kg~ -1 (calculated by carried dexamethasone). The drugs in the plasma and contents of different parts of the rats' gastrointestinal tract were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RESULTS: Dexamethasone carried by the prodrug was mainly released in the contents and mucosa of cecum and colon after oral administration of the prodrug. The absorption of released dexamethasone was reduced significantly. The peak time, peak concentration and AUC were 7.2 h , 42 ?g?L~ -1 and 334 ?g?h?L~ -1 , respectively. However, free dexamethasone was found mainly in the contents and mucosa of the stomach, proximal and distal small intestine after oral administration. The peak time, peak concentration and AUC were 2.2 h, 2 120 ?g?L~ -1 and 11 875 ?g?h?L~ -1 , respectively. CONCLUSION: Dexamethasone can be specifically delivered to the cecum and colon by using dexamethasone- angelica sinensis polysaccharides prodrug. The absorption of dexamethasone was reduced significantly and the drug concentration in colon was increased significantly. The prodrug has a potential in the treatment of colitis.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To establish an RP-HPLC method for the content determination of glycyrrhizic acid in gly-cyrrhizin liposome.METHODS:The separation was performed on Shim-pack VP-ODS column with methanol-buffer phosphate(pH=2.6,68∶32)as the mobile phase,the detection wavelength was254nm and the flow rate was1ml/min.RE-SULTS:Glycyrrhizic acid was well-separated with peaks of the adjuvants and the solvent.The linear range for glycyrrhizic acid was1～100?g/ml(r=0.9999,n=5).The average recovery was97.56%(RSD=1.03%).CONCLUSION:This method is accurate and sensitive,and suitable for the content determination of glycyrrhizic acid in glycyrrhizin liposome.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE:To verify the effect of Weichangkang capsule(WCK) on the function of gastrointestinal tract.MET-HODS:The effects on movement of charcoal powder in mice and secretion of digestive enzyme and absorption of D-xylopyranose into serum in rats were studied.RESULTS:WCK capsule markedly increased the movement of charcoal powder in mice,secretion of digestive enzyme and absorption of D-xylopyranose into serum in rats.CONCLUSION:WCK capsule could obviously improve the dysfunction of gastrointestinal tract.

RESUMO
AIM: To investigate the contraction effect of essential oil of Radix Angelicae Sinensis on isolated uterus in rats. METHODS: Isolated uterine strips of rats were used to observe the reactions in the presence of oxytocine and high k + depolarization solution. RESULTS: The isolated rat uterus contraction induced by oxytocin and Ca 2+ after high K + depolarization was dose dependently inhibited by the essential oil. The cumulative dose response curves of CaCl 2 shifted to right and the maximal responses were depressed. This showed that the essential oil was a non competitive antagonist. The extracellular and intracellular Ca 2+ dependent contraction evoked by oxytocin could also be inhibited by the essential oil. CONCLUSION: The essential oil of Radix Angelicae Sinensis could inhibit the contractility of the isolated uteri, and it might act as an Ca 2+ antagonist to relax the isolated rat uterus.
