Effect of Notoginsenoside-Rg1 on the Expression of Several Proteins in the Striatum of Rat Models with Parkinson＇s Disease

After establishing hemi-Parkinsonian rat models, the relationships between neuron death and the expression of several proteins, such as c-Fos, GFAP, GDNF, NF-κB and some cytokines were determined. Therapeutics experiments with notoginsenoside-Rg1 were carried out. The research results show that the expressions of GFAP, NF-Kκ and c-Fos will obviously increase in the lesion side of the striatum and the expression of GDNF will decrease, which implies that the signal transduction pathway may participate in the apoptosis in neurons. The levels of some cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β in the striatum of PD rat models increased compared to those of normal rats. The results of the therapeutics experiments show that notoginsenoside-Rg1 may repress the immune inflammation response and regulate the immune function through the neuro-immune molecular network. Therefore, notoginsenoside-Rg1 can be used as an effective drug for anti-oxidation and anti-inflammation, and can be used in the therapy of Parkinson＇s disease（PD）.     

An Improved Synthesis of Retinoic Acid from β-Ionone

A convenient and large-scale preparation of retinoic acid 1 from β-ionone in five steps with 38% overall yield is described.The key steps are the epoxidization of 2 with a new methylated agent and the condensation 4 with tetraethyl methylenediphophonate in one-pot procedure to prepare 6.     

原发性肝癌治疗的若干进展

原发性肝癌是最常见的恶性肿瘤之一，临床治疗以肝切除为首选方法，对于不能手术治疗的患者以B超引导下的介入经股动脉肝动脉栓塞化疗(TACE)、B超引导下瘤内无水酒精注射(PEI)、经皮肝穿刺射频热凝、电针与肝动脉介入疗法、经皮下埋植式药泵经肝动脉和门静脉双插管灌注化疗、三氧化二砷注射液治疗等以提高生存率、缓解率和患者的生活质量。     

用等离子体治疗牙病

等离子体清洗经常使用在材料处理和半导体工业上，虽然等离子体也可以快速地消灭细菌，但由于它们都处于高温状态，所以一直无法应用到生物医学领域．三年前，荷兰Eindhoven大学的一些物理学家发展了一种可在室温下工作的“等离子体针”。     

400例导乐式分娩的临床效果评价

目的：评价导乐式分娩在临床应用的效果。方法：实验组共400例，采用陪伴式分娩，有一个亲属陪伴，一位助产士全程陪伴，并指导产妇顺利渡过分娩期。对照组400例，为未开展陪伴分娩期的产妇。结果：通过临床观察发现，产妇在分娩时的心理状态，各种原因的剖宫产率(导乐组为23％，对照组为39％)有显著差异(P＜0．05)；尤其是社会因素，实验组(11．96％)均优于对照组(33．97％)。结论：导乐陪伴分娩能解除产妇的恐惧和焦虑心理，减少了各种原因的剖官产率，保护、促进和支持了自然分娩。
