RESUMO
[Objective]To study the antitussive and expectorant effects of aqueous extract of cudweed.[Method] The mice cough model induced by ammonia,guinea pig cough model induced by acitric acid and method of stimulating mouse’ trachea with phenol red were used in this experiment.[Results]The aqueous extract of cudweed significantly prolonged the tussive delitescence of mice,decreased the tussive times of guinea pigs and increased the secretion of mouse’ trachea induced by phenol red.[Conclusion]The antitussive and expectorant effect of cudweed was obvious.
RESUMO
To observe the effect of acupuncture on simple adiposis, 121 cases of simple adiposis were divided into 6 groups and treated with acupuncture, dietotherapy and motortherapy. Weight and waistline were observed. Acupuncture had a markedly curative effect on adiposis and 97.8% patients after the treatment did not relapse.
RESUMO
BCG Purified Protein Derivative (BCG-PPD)was isolated and purified from BCG Culture filtrate by trichloroacetic acid and ammonium sulfate methods. The purity of BCG-PPD was Similar to PPD-S(international standard) and PPD-C(China), but more than that of PPD-CT68 (Canada)and PPD-RT23(Danish). The Delayed-Type Hyperseusitivity(DTH) to BCG-PPD was more sensitivity than other PPD on BCG vaccinated guinea pigs, but less sensitivity than other PPD on Mycobacterium tuberculosis infected guinea pigs. The conversion rate and induration diameter to BCG-PPD was higher than PPD in 333 of 12 weeks after BCG vaccination newborns, but lower than that of other PPD in 97 tuberculosis patients. It was shown that DTH reaction to PPD was more sensitivity in Mycobacteria homogeneous strain vaccinated individual than Mycobacteria heterogeneous strain vaccinated individual. It was demonstrated that BCG-PPD was better than other PPD on observation conversion rates and induration diameter of BCG vaccinated individual. It maybe help to identification BCG vaccinated or tuberculosis infected with DTH of BCG-PPD and PPD in same individual.
