RESUMEN
Aim To investigate the slope ratio method for the determination of anticoagulant activity of leeches. Methods Three batches of leeches, four groups of Japanese medical vermiculite yinpian and fifteen groups of leech preparations were chosen, with contrast medicinal leeches herbs and Philippine cattle leech contrast medicinal materials, and different concentrations of leaching solutions were prepared in parallel. APTT value was determined after anticoagulant activity was determined by slope ratio method for the joint validation of laboratory, intermediate precision and accuracy between the linear range. Results The slope ratio method was accurate and accurate in the determination of anticoagulant activity of leeches, with linearity between 64% and 156% relative titer level. Conclusion Slope ratio method can be used to determine the anticoagulant activity of leeches.
RESUMEN
The present study was designed to isolate and characterize novel chemical constituents of the stem bark of Juglans mandshurica Maxim. (Juglandaceae). The chemical constituents were isolated and purified by various chromatographic techniques. The structures of the compounds were elucidated on the basis of spectral data (1D and 2D NMR, HR-ESI-MS, CD, UV, and IR) and by the comparisons of spectroscopic data with the reported values in the literatures. Two long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (1 and 2) were obtained and identified as (S)-(8E,10E)-12-hydroxy-7-oxo-8,10-octadecadienoic acid (1) and (S)-(8E, 10E)-12-hydroxy-7-oxo-8,10-octadecadienoic acid methyl ester (2). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on the isolation and structural elucidation of the two new conjugated ketonic fatty acids from this genus.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effect of Dingguier umbilical paste on rats with functional dyspepsia and mice with splenic asthenia, and investigate the related mechanism.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Functional dyspepsia models of rats were made by irregular food intake plus diluted hydrochloric acid. Successional treatments were offered for 14 days. The rats weights, contents of serum NO, AChE and MC were measured. The rats with splenic asthenia were made by rhubarb feed, and observed the affection of gastric emptying.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>Compared with those in the model control group, the weight of rats in all dosages Dingguier umbilical paste groups increased obviously (P < 0.05), pepsin activity of rats in the dosage (1.34 g x kg(-1)) Dingguier umbilical paste groups was significantly higher and the contents of NO and quantities of MC in the dosage (2.67 g x kg(-1)) Dingguier umbilical paste groups decreased clearly (P < 0.05), and the contents of serum AChE in all dosages Dingguier umbilical paste groups rose apparently. The weight of mice with splenic asthenia increased obviously, accelerated gastric emptying, and improved the symptom.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Dingguier umbilical paste has significant improvement of indigestion. The related mechanism may be to reduce the content of serum NO and the quantity of MC and enhance the content of serum AChE.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the effects of xue-bao capsules on injury of radio-or chemo-therapy in mice, in order to provide rationale behind clinical trials.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>xue-xu (deficiency of blood) model in mice was induced by radiation or cyclophosphamide. Leucocyte (WBC), erythrocyte (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb) and platelet (Pt) in peripheral blood as well as CFU-E and CFU-Gm in bone marrow were counted.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>CFU-E and CFU-Gm in normal mice were promoted by this drug. The reduction of WBC, RBC and Hb in peripheral blood as well as CFU-E and CFU-Gm in bone marrow owing to the 3.5 Gy of 60Co radiation were antagonized by the drug. It had also antagonized cyclophosphamide induced the reduction of WBC, RBC and Pt in peripheral blood.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>xue-bao capsules has the effects against the adverse reactions of radio-or-chemo-therapy.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Various models of experimental myocardial ischemia were set up to ovbserve the Yixinton's protection against ischemia.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Models of experimentally acute myocardial ischemia were made by ligature or medication (pituitrin or isoprenaline) to check the indices of ECG, hemodynamics, and morphology.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>A dosage of Yixintong tablets 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg was given to rats by gavage; the rats had undergone a thirty-minute ligatute of coronary lef anterior descending branch, and used as a model of ischemic reperfusion. The observations showed that Yixintong tablets exerted a recovery effect on heart rate, blood pressure, internal pressure of left ventricule and its peak/trough rate (+/- dp/dtmax), and ST segment (electrocardiogram). The tablet markedly reduced the myocardial infarct size of the coronary-ligatured rats. The tablet benefited the rats with pituitrin(iv)- or isoprenaline(ip)-induced acute myocardial ischemia to reverse any ST deviation and T-wave fall.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Yixintong has a protective and therapeutic action to the experimental myocardial ischemia.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Using animal anemia models to observe the antianemia effect of Shengxuesu, and to afford an experimental basis for preventing and treating anemia.</p><p><b>METHOD</b>Rat model of iron deficiency induced by denutrition and mouse model of nemorrhagic anemia by blood lefting were established. Indices of hemoglobin(HB), red blood cell count(RBC), hematocrit(HCT), mean corpuscular hemoglobin count(MCHC), serum iron(SI), serum ferritin (SF) and total iron-binding capacity(TIBC) were monitored.</p><p><b>RESULT</b>A dosage of Shengxuesu 0.5-2 g.kg-1 was given to the rat model of hypoferric anemia by gavage for 15 days, and to the mouse model of hemorrhagic anemia by gavage for 7 days. The result shows that HB, RBC, HCT, MCHC in blood and iron, ferroprotein in serum were elevated significantly; but total bounding iron in serum was decreased.

Objective To determine the correlation of plasma brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) with severe degree of dilated cardiomyopathy in children.Methods Thirty children with dilated cardiomyopathy and 30 healthy subjects were selected in this degree of study, plasma BNP concentration was measured and compared among groups by using t test.Correlation of BNP levels with left ventricular ejection fraction and heart function was investigated using linear regression analysis.Results Children with dilated cardiomyopathy had significantly higher mean BNP levels compared with healthy children [(429.4?270.2) ng/L vs (67.0?10.2) ng/L].Significantly positive correlations were found between BNP and heart classification(r=0.950 P
RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics and clinical prognosis of Kawasaki disease(KD) in Jilin pro-vince for recent 10 years.Methods The survey forms unified of standard KD epidemiology were used and sent to the province′s 32 hospitals above the county and city level with pediatric in-patients,in order to conduct a survey on the KD children during 10 years period from Jan.1,1999 to Dec.31,2008.SPSS 15.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results There were 93.75% of the survey forms came back.Five hundred and seventy-seven KD cases were reported from the 32 hospitals of 8 districts.The incidence of KD was of an increasing trend.It was 18 cases in 1999,while it was up to 122 cases in 2008.Male patients were 382 cases(66.2%),female patients were 195 cases(33.8%).The ratio of male and female was 1.96 to 1.The age of patients varied from 58 days to 14 years,those under 5 years of age accounted of 88.73%.Fourteen(2.4%) cases were found to have the sequelae of coronary artery disease.The ratio of male and female was 3.671.The younger the age,the higher the incidence of cardiac sequelae.The mainest cardiac sequelae was coronary artery ectasia.The time of visiting was(7.58?4.63) days after the onset.The KD children from 4 minority peoples including 50 cases accounted for 8.7%.The disease occurred all over the year,and had obvious season peak.Coronary artery lesions accounted for 63.26%.There was no death during acute pe-riod.The recurrence rate was 0.5%.Conclusions The incidence of KD in Jilin is in an increasing trend.The age and gender distribution are not exactly the same to pre-vious reports.There are two seasonal peaks including summer and winter,which is different to previous reports of domestic,United State,Japan.
