ABSTRACT
Objective To establish method for simultaneous determination of hesperidin, cinnamaldehyde and eugenol in Chunyang Zhengqi capsules by high performance liquid chromatography. Methods The column was Agilent PorosheⅡ 120 EC-C18 (4.6 mm×150 mm, 4 μm). The mobile phase was acetonitrile-water with gradient elution. The column temperature was 35℃. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min, and the detection wavelength was 284 nm. Results The methodological verification showed that hesperidin, cinnamaldehyde and eugenol had a good linearity (r≥0.999 9). The precisions were less than 2.0%. The average recovery was between 98.0% and 101.9%. The stability and repeatability of RSD were also less than 3.0%, which met the requirements of method validation. Conclusion The method is simple, stable, reproducible and accurate, which could be used to the quality control of Chunyang Zhengqi capsules.
ABSTRACT
We report the management and maternal and neonatal outcomes of four cases of delayed interval delivery after cervical cerclage in twin pregnancies, who hospitalized in Shanghai First Maternity and Infant Hospital from year 2017 to 2018. Four patients with dichorionic diamniotic twin pregnancies all presented with gradually weakened uterine contractions after spontaneous vaginal delivery of twin 1. After informed consent, the patients received cervical cerclage at 2 to 3 days after delivery when the maternal and fetal conditions were stable, to delay delivery of twin 2. The gestational weeks at delivery of twin 1 were 25 +4, 23 +1, 27 +1, and 23 weeks, which were noted for 30 +1, 32 +6, 31 +4, and 24 weeks for twin 2, respectively. Delayed delivery intervals were 32, 69, 31 and 7 d. Three of the four twin 2 survived, with Apgar score ≥ 8 at 1 minute and birth weight of 1 390, 2 290 and 1 620 g. During a 2-year follow-up, no developmental abnormalities were observed in the children, and no serious maternal complications were found, including severe infection, bleeding or cervical laceration.
ABSTRACT
In 1930s, Wolf created the first partogram. In 1950s, Friedman proposed the classical model of partogram that has been applied in clinical labor assessment ever since. Over the past ten years, Zhang has made great improvement in this field. Here, we reviewed the three different stages in partogram research (the first proposed stage, Friedman's classical stage and Zhang's stage) in terms of its background, demographic characteristics and clinical application. Moreover, this article also emphasized the necessity of partogram research and discussed the prospects for future research and clinical application based on the recent progress in China.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze National Center for Clinical Laboratories external quality assessment(EQA)of blood cell morphology,and to summarize the cell system,morphological types and frequency of EQA.Methods EXCEL software was used to analyze retrospectively 506 pictures from National Center for Clinical Laboratories 51 times EQA of blood cell morphology from 1999 to 2016,then the type and frequency were summarized.Results Among the 506 pictures in National Center for Clinical Laboratories EQA from 1999 to 2016,380 pictures came from peripheral blood,125 pictures came from bone marrow,and the ratio was 3:1.The remaining one came from cerebrospinal fluid cells.In results of 51 times EQA,there were 135 kinds of cell morphology,including 37.78% morphology once only.In blood cell types,mononuclear had the highest frequency(28 times),then atypical lymphocyte appeared 25 times.Conclusion It is necessary for each laboratory to learn the content of blood cell morphology,and master proficiently cell morphology characteristics,especially the basic cells in blood smear for the improvement of diagnosis accuracy.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To analyze two fetuses with multiple malformations revealed by ultrasonography using single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP array), and to explore the strategy for the prenatal diagnosis of 1p36 deletion syndrome.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Amniocentesis was performed on the two pregnant women. Amnion fluid cells were cultured, and karyotypes of the fetuses were determined through G-banding analysis. Whole genome SNP array was used to detect genomic anomalies of the two fetuses. The karyotypes of their parents were determined through G-banding analysis of peripheral venous blood samples.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>G-banding analysis showed a 46,XY,add(1p36)? and a 46,XX,add(1p36)? karyotype for fetuses 1 and 2, respectively. SNP array analysis showed that the fetus 1 had arr[19]1p36.33p36.32 (752 566 - 3 393 462)×1 and 7q35q36.3 (144 480 549 - 159 119 486)×3, and fetus 2 had arr[19]1p36.33p36.23 (752 566 - 8 362 754)×1, 6p25.3p22.3 (204 909 - 20 182 185)×3. The mother of fetus 1 had a 46,XX,t(1;7)(p36;q35) karyotype, and the mother of fetus 2 had a 46,XX,t(1;6)(p36;p22) karyotype. The karyotypes of both fathers appeared to be normal.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>SNP array has the advantages such as high sensitivity and high accuracy for prenatal diagnosis, and can provide more detailed information for genetic counseling of 1p36 deletion syndrome.</p>

The brain pharmacokinetics of hyperoside and 1 , 5-dicaffeoylquinic acid and the effects of acanthopanax senticosus leaves on neurotransmitters in cerebral ischemic rat brain were investigated. In the study, acute incompleteness cerebral ischemia model was developed by ligating the bilateral common carotid arteries of rats. The differences of brain pharmacokinetics of hyperoside and 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid between control and cerebral ischemic rats were determined by online microdialysis coupled with MS/MS method. At the same time, the contents of glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (Asp), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), serotonin (5-HT) , dopamine ( DA) , and acetylcholine( Ach) in rat hippocampus among different groups were determined simultaneously in MRM mode. ACE 5 C18-AR column was used for separation. Results showed that the online analytical method had excellent linearity (R2>0. 99). The accuracy and precision could meet the analysis requirement. Besides, the hyperoside and 1,5-dicaffeoylquinic acid penetrated the blood-brain barrier successfully and metabolized quickly, but the absorption reduced and elimination became faster in cerebral ischemic rats; the contents of Glu, Asp, GABA and DA in brain issue of cerebral ischemic rats decreased significantly ( p<0 . 01 ) and the level of Ach increased remarkably ( p<0 . 05 ) after a preventive medication with the extract of acanthopanax senticosus leaves for one week.
