ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the condition of oxidative stress and immunosuppression in early stage of severe sepsis,and investigate the correlation between them. Methods A prospective random control study in-cluded patients group(n=51)and control group(n=31). The concentration of serum superoxide dismutase was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),CD4+CD25+Treg% was measured by flow cytometry , respectively. The difference between two groups was compared and the correlation between parameters in patients group was evaluated. Results The concentration of serum SOD was lower than control group (P < 0.01). CD4+CD25+Treg% significantly high,compared to the control group(P < 0.01). There was no strong correlation be-tween parameters in patients group. Conclusion Oxidative stress and immunosuppression are exist in the early stage of severe sepsis.

Twenty-four compounds in the fruits of Forsythia suspensa were isolated and purified by column chromatography and preparative TLC. On the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic methods including IR, ESI-MS/MS, 1D and 2D NMR, these compounds were identified as ten ceremides (1-10), six triterpenes (11-16), one steroids (17), three flavonoids (18-20), two C6-C2 alcohols (21-22) and two lignans (23-24). Compounds 1-10 were reported from F. suspense for the first time, among which 1, 2, 4 and 5 were new ones.

Objective: To study the mechanism of effect of total flavone of rhizoma drynariae in groups with different dosage on osteoblasts cultured in vitro. Methods: To culture osteoblasts with UMA-106-01 osteoblast strain and to observe the activity of ALP and the endosmosis of 3H-TdR. Results: The total flavone of rhizoma drynariae increased the activity of ALP in cells cultured with UMR-106-01 strain. The ALP activities correspondingly changed in the 24h, 48h and 72h, which related to dosage effect and time effect. Among them, the activity in the 48h is the most ideal one. And the amount of endosmosis of the total flavone of rhizoma drynariae to 3H-TdR increased more remarkably in the 48h than that in the 24h and it also related to the time effect. Conclusion: The total flavone of rhizoma drynariae can promote the differentiation and multiplication of osteoblasts.
ABSTRACT
This study was aimed to assess the effect of Shenfu injection on different circulation state. Using a microcirculation microscope system, we observed mice's auricle micro-artery diameter, density of capillary, blood velocity in different circulation state (i.e. normal state, epinephrine or endotoxin induced microcirculation disturbance state) after administering Shenfu injection into their caudal vein, and we compared the Shenfu group with Shenmai group and Dexamethasone group. The results showed that Shenfu injection causes the auricle microartery diameter to enlarge and the density of capillary and blood velocity to increase in different microcirculation state, and such effect is especially notable on the epinephrine induced microcirculation disturbance group and endotoxin induced microcirculation disturbance group; the effect of Shenfu injection is stronger than that of Shenmai injection and similar to Dexamethasone injection. In addition, Shenfu injection was shown to have remarkable effect on resisting the lowering of limb temperature when the mice are attacked by endotoxin.

Objective To study the drug-time process of aurantiin in Rhizoma Drymariae in vivo.Methods By the optimization of the chromatographic condition,a reversed-phase HPLC was established to measure the content of aurantiin in the serum and the tissues of rats.Results After administration of total flavones of Rhizoma Drymariae to the rats by gavage,aurantiin started to be absorbed in 30 minutes and arrived at the peak in 90 minutes.The blood drug concentration decreased evidently 4 hours after gavage and maintained at a certain level in 8 hours.The drug concentration was highest in the stomach and bowels,but decreased quickly.The concentration in the liver,lungs and kidney came next and can be determined in the muscles and fat;however,it was very low or zero in the brain.Conclusion This method is convenient,sensitive,rapid and without the interference of other impurities.It is suitable for the determination of aurantiin content in the serum and tissues of rats.Administering total flavones of Rhizoma Drymariae to the rats by gavage,aurantiin is absorbed slowly and maintains for a long time and subsides slowly in the blood.
