    Objective To investigate the effects of Siwu decoction on the learning and memory abilities in mice with blood deficiency and the related mechanism. Methods The mice were randomly divided into five groups: normal control group, model control group, high-, medium-, and low-dose group of Siwu decoction. Blood deficiency mouse model was established by continuously cuttingtailand bleedingin model control group, high-, medium-, and low-dose group of Siwu decoction. The mice in high-, medium-, and low-dose group were intragastrically administrated with Siwu decoction of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 g·kg-1 for 14 days, respectively. The erythrocyte counts (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), red blood cell hematocrit (HCT) were detected before modeling, 7 and 14 days after administration. The spatial learning and memory abilities were assessed using the T maze test. The spontaneous activities were assessed using locomotors activity detector. The levels of erythropoietin (EPO) content in serum and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in hippocampal tissue were detected by enzyme-linked immunousorbent assay. Results 5.0 and 10.0 g·kg-1Siwu decoction could increase RBC, HGB, HCT on the 7th and 14th day, 2.5 g·kg-1Siwu decoction could increase RBC, HCT on 14th day, and each dosage of Siwu decoction could significantly increase the spontaneous activities of model mice with blood deficiency on the 7th and 14th day as compared with model control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model control group, the number of errorsin T Maze test were decreased significantly in high-, medium-, and low-dose groups (P<0.01). And the Siwu decoction had a tendency to reduce the hippocampal AChE levels, but when compared with the model control group there were no statistical differences (P>0.05). Conclusion Siwu decoction is benefit formemory and spatial learning in mice with blood deficiency, which may be related with higher serum EPO and lower hippocampal AChE expression.

    Objective To study the antitumor activity of Xerophilusin G on S180 cells,and Its mechanism. Methods Modified MTT assay was used to test the effect of Xerophilusin G on the proliferation of S180 tumor cell strain. The influences on tumor growth and immune organs of mice with transplanted sarcoma (S180) were observed. The cell cycle of S180 cell lines and mouse sarcoma (S180) was analyzed by flow cytometry. The lymphocyte proliferation activity of spleen stimulating was tested. The level of IL-2 in serum of mice with transplanted sarcoma (S180) was measured by ELISA. Results The IC50 of Xerophilusin G in S180 cell lines was 19.80 μg·mL-1, the LD50 in mouse for Xerophilusin G was 121.11 mg·kg-1 through intraperitoneal injection. The tumor inhibition rate of Xerophilusin G was 32.11% and 41.60%, respectively at the doses of 3 and 6 mg·kg-1 (P<0.05). Compared with the control, the thymus, kidney and cardiac index were decreased. The cell proportion at G0/G1 phase of mouse sarcoma (S180) was increased. T and B cell proliferation activities in tumor-bearing mice were enhanced (P<0.05). As compared with control group, the serum level of IL-2 was decreased 90.9% and 77.1% in low- and medium-dose groups, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion Xerophilusin G has remarkable effects in sarcoma (S180) bearing mice. The antitumor mechanism of Xerophilusin G might be related with G0/G1 phase arrest of mouse sarcoma (S180) cells and enhancing the activity of T and B cell but not related with increasing the secreting of IL-2.

    Objective To conduct a retrospective study about drug-induced hyperthermia (DIH) based on DIH data obtained in medical practice, and elucidate the relationship between DIH incidence and antibacterials overuse. Methods To investigate successively the medical records of inpatients from orthopaedics department in Fudan university affiliated Jinshan hospital at two different periods, and data of DIH cases were extracted to perform a comparative study. The period for 229 effective cases of group Ⅰ was from Feb. 1 to Apr. 30, 2011, before significant improvement on antibacterials use. The period for 342 effective cases of group Ⅱ was from Jul. 1 to Sep. 30, 2012, after the effective enforcements of regulation on antibacterials use. Inclusion criteria for DIH were: ①an oral temperature ≥37.6 ℃ since postoperative day 4, ②no evidence of infection,③a time relationship between fever and the administration of causative drugs: a fever occurring with drug administration and disappearing after drug cessation within 3 days,④no other causes for the fever,⑤oral temperature≤37.6 ℃ until leaving hospital. Exclusion criteria for DIH were listed below: ①possible pathological fever, e.g., in cancer, ②hospitalization within 3 days,③no surgery,④severe trauma, for example, visceral or central nervous system injury. Results All causative drugs were for injection. By comparison, duration of antibacterial administration is significantly shorter in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ (1.7±1.7 vs. 4.6±1.8 days, P<0.01), and total DIH incidence and antibacterials related DIH incidence were significantly lower in group Ⅱ than in group Ⅰ (7.3% vs. 30.1%, 1.5% vs. 25.3%, both P<0.01). Conclusion DIH incidence is related with drug type especially with antibacterials overuse, and changed with drug program. DIH was more serious for injection of antibacterials than injection of traditional Chinese medicine. Decrease of antibacterials usage is positively associated with the decreased DIH incidence. Safe medication should begin from safe usage of antibacterials.
