Methods Platelets specimens from healthy volunteers made serum and plasma with medicine, while platelet PRP were separated, which were divided into 8groups,i.e. auto-serum, allo-serum, serum with Da Huang Zhe Chong capsule , serum with aspirin, auto-plasma, plasma with Da Huang Zhe Chong capsule, plasma with aspirin, every group added to serum and plasma to hatch. After ADP and adrenalin were added into the specimens and hatched, the effects of specimens on platelet aggregation were observed. Results After ADP adrenalin were added, all the serum groups did not present platelet aggregation,while all the plasma group presented platelet aggregation. P1, P5, Pmax, t and TM have no significant difference (P>0. 05) between auto-plasma group and allo-plasma group induced by ADP and adrenalin. P1, P5, t and Pmax have significant differences (P<0. 01) and TM decreased significantly (P<0. 05) comparing plasma group with Da Huang Zhe Chong capsule and plasma group of aspirin to allo-plasma group. P1, t and Pmax have significant difference (P<0.05), and P5 and TM are simulate comparing plasma group with Da Huang Zhe Chong capsule to plasma group of aspirin. P1, P5, t and Pmax have significant differences (P<0. 01), P1, TM have also significant(P<0. 05), comparing plasma group of Da Huang Zhe Chong capsule with plasma of aspirin to allo-plasma group induced by adrenalin. P1 ,P5 and Pmax have significant differences (P<0.05), and t and Pmax are simulate comparing plasma group with Da Huang Zhe Chong capsule with plasma group of aspirin. Conclusion The serum pharmacological study is inappropriate to study platelet aggregation in vitro. The plasma pharmacological study is inappropriate to study platelet aggregation in vitro. The plasma pharmacological study could reflect the pharmacological effect produced in vivo. Da Huang Zhe Chong capsule has better anti artery thrombosis effect than aspirin, and it is an ideal medicine for anti artery thrombosis.展开更多

In order to realize the effects of diesel oil on the Zhe oyster, the RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) technique was used. RAPD is a useful assay procedure for the detection of genotoxin-induced DNA damage and mutations. In the present study, the Zhe oysters were exposed to diesel oil at different concentrations and for different exposure periods. The results showed that the DNA band change in RAPD profiles of oysters following diesel oil treatment included loss of normal DNA bands, the appearance of new DNA bands and variations in DNA intensity compared to oysters not exposed to diesel oil. The effects of changes to GTS (genome template stability) were time- and concentration-dependent, the GTS of 10 mg/L was 82.46%, 80.70% and 63.15% in the 8, 16 and 32 days, the GTS of 20 mg/L was 75.44%, 71.93% and 56.14% in the 8, 16 and 32 days, the GTS of 40 mg/L was 73.68%, 70.18% and 56.14% in the 8, 16 and 32 days, respectively. The DNA polymorphisms detected by RAPD analysis could be used as a useful biomarker assay for the detection of genotoxic effects in diesel oil pollution on the oysters, and may be useful for environmental contamination risk assessment.展开更多
