Inhibition effect of Fluticasone on proliferation of adenoidal cell of children with adenoidal hypertrophy in vitro / 中国耳鼻咽喉头颈外科

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of fluticasone on proliferation of adenoidal cell of children with adenoidal hypertrophy in vitro,and study its correlation with dose.METHODS Dissociated adenoids lymphocytes harvested intra-operatively from 36 children with adenoidal hypertrophy were cultured in control medium (CO),or incubated with different fluticasone dose (10-9-10-12) mol/L.Proliferation was evaluated via measurement of the absorbency.RESULTS The mean absorbency were difference among different groups(P＜0.0001),and were also different between every 2 groups (P＜0.05) except 10-9 versus 1010 mol/L group(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION Fluticasone can inhibit the proliferation of adenoidal cell in vitro and it shows dose dependent.

Epidemiology investigation of allergic rhinitis in urban and rural areas of Ningbo and Yongzhou / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of allergic rhinitis (AR) in urban and rural areas of Ningbo and Yongzhou.@*METHOD@#Fifteen fields in the two cities from October 2006 to June 2007 were randomly selected. Cases suspected with symptoms of AR by a self-administered and interview questionnaire were recommended to special examinations for confirmed diagnosis.@*RESULT@#1. A total of 9969 individuals from 3803 families were surveyed, of whom 303 suffered with AR. 2. The prevalence rate was 4.10% in Ningbo and 1.65% in Yongzhou (the sex-adjusted rate was 4.10% and 1.64% respectively, and the age-adjusted rate was 4.33% and 1.58%); the population of island inhabitants had the lowest prevalence rate of 0.73%. 3. The prevalence rate in patients with asthma and that with family genetic history was 8% and 12% respectively.@*CONCLUSION@#It demonstrates that the prevalence rate is higher in Ningbo than in Yongzhou, in urban than in rural and in adolescent than in other ages. Allergic rhinitis may be associated with asthma and related to genetic factors. Allergic rhinitis may be curable.

Study on changing rules for total flavonoids and total terpene lactones in Ginkgo biloba leaves at different ages of tree and collecting seasons / 中草药

Object To define suitable gathering season of Ginkgo biloba L. leaves. Methods The content of total flavonoids and total terpene lactones in G. biloba leaves were determined by HPLC DAD and HPLC ELSD. Results The content of total flavonoids and total terpene lactones in G. biloba were distinct in different ages of tree and collecting seasons. Conclusion The content of total flavonoids and total terpene lactones in G. biloba are the highest in 2 3 ages of tree. The total flavonoid is the highest in May and total terpene lactone is the highest in September.

Thermolability in the process of safflower infusion solution by HPLC fingerprint / 中成药

AIM:To study incorporate changes of compound in safflower infusion solution before and after heating by HPLC fingerprint, in order to provide reference of drug’s safety evaluation. METHODS: Hydroxysafflor yellow A was used as reference substance, safflower infusion solution was detected by HPLC fingerprint in the whole manufacturing process from original raw material、intermediate to finished product.The detector temperature was set at room temperature、100 ℃、115 ℃,and then the change in the peak’ disappearance and appearance was observed and the peak area’ decrease and increase showed by characteristic absorption peak of every sample product at different temperature. RESULTS: As the temperature rose to 105 ℃,new peaks appeared at the retention time of 7、26-27、44 minutes,original peaks would disappear at the time 8、36minutes.As the temperature continued to rise to 115 ℃,the peak at the time of 7、10 minutes disappeared again.the peak area increased during the temperature rising at retention the time of 31-32、44 minutes and decreased at the retention time of 37 minutes. CONCLUSION: It indicates that,heating safflower infusion solution would produce a new compound. As the temperature continues to rise,the new compound would be destroyed.

HPLC fingerprint of Venenum Bufonis / 中成药

AIM: To establish HPLC fingerprint of Venenum Bufonis in an attempt to become a standard of quality control. METHODS: The HPLC method was set up using Alltima C_(18)(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column with mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.5% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution of water;UV detection wavelength at 296 nm and column temperature at 30 ℃ with the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min;20 ?L of the injection volume. RESULTS: In this chromatogram condition,10 peaks were identified as the characteristic fingerprints of Venenum Bufonis.All samples showed the content differences among the samples.The retention times for resibufogenin、cinobufagin、bufalin、bufotalin and cinobufotalin in Venenum Bufonis were consistent with each other.The fingerprint showed good similarity up to 93% in samples from different habitats. CONCLUSION: The method is exact、simple and accurate,and can be used for the identification and quality control of Venenum Bufonis.
