[Modified effect of modified danshou decoction on teratogenicity of bisphenol A intoxicated pregnant rats].

Objective: To explore the protective effect of modified danshou decoction (MDD) on teratogenicity of bisphenol A intoxicated pregnant rats.

Methods: Forty-four successfully mated rats were randomly divided into 4 groups, 10 in the blank group and 10 in the model group, 12 in the MDD group and 12 in the positive control group. Bisphenol A (BPA) at the dose of 600 mg/kg was given to rats by gastrogavage in the latter three groups from the 1st day of mating to the 20th day, while the soybean oil was given to rats by gastrogavage in the blank group.

[Analysis of adverse effects of cinnabar].

This article made a brief analysis of clinical adverse effects of cinnabar. Except for allergic reaction, almost all the adverse events of cinnabar were caused by unreasonable application. The majority of the poisoning cases were associated with excessive and/or long-term dosage, and improper preparation methods, such as decocting, heating or fumigating.
