ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for the identification and proces sing end-point determination of raw Morus alba and its processed products （honey-processed M. alba ）. METHODS ：UPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Waters BEH Shield RP C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 0.1％ phosphoric acid solution （gradient elution ） at the flow rate of 0.30 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃. The program wavelengths were set at 280 nm（0-4 min） and 320 nm（4-35 min）. Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatogram Fingerprint of TCM （2012 edition）was used to establish UPLC fingerprint and carry out similarity evaluation of 13 batches of M. alba and honey-processed M. alba . The chromatographic peaks were identified with reference substance fingerprint. The colorimetric value （L，a，b） of 13 batches of M. alba and honey-processed M. alba powder were determined ，and average total colorimetric value （E）was calculated. OPLS-DA and cluster analysis were adopted to analyze the differences in fingerprints and colorimetric values of M. alba before and after processing. At the same time ，the dynamic change rule of fingerprint and colorimetric value of honey-processed M. alba at different processing time points were analyzed to determine the processing end-point. RESULTS ：There were obvious differences in fingerprints before and after processing ，and the similarity of 13 batches of M. alba and honey-processed M. alba were all higher than 0.9. Totally 21 common peaks were calibrated for M. alba ，and 23 common peaks for honey-processed M. alba ；peak 1 and peak 2 were newly produced compounds of honey-processed M. alba . Peak 2，peak 7，peak 14 and peak 19 were identified as 5-hydroxymethylfurfural， mulberry glucoside A ，oxidized resveratrol ，mulberry flavonoids G. Results of OPLS-DA showed that the peak area-sample quantity ratio of peak 1，peak 2，peak 18，peak 20 and the chromaticity values （L，a，b）were the most important factors affecting the difference of raw and processed products of M. alba . When the E ranged 75.84-80.88 as the processing end-point of honey-processed M. alba ，the processing time was determined as 22-34 min. CONCLUSIONS ： The established UPLC fingerprint and colorimetric value determination method can be used to identify the raw and processed products of M. alba as well as determine the processing end-point of honey-processed M. alba .
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND@#How to locate pulmonary ground-glass nodules in thoracoscopic surgery is an important clinical topic in minimally invasive thoracic surgery. There is no unified localization method at present. This study intends to investigate the accuracy and security of body surface theodolitic puncture localization method in video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for pulmonary ground-glass nodules.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 41 patients from August 2018 to December 2019 were analyzed retrospectively, including 28 males and 13 females. After anesthesia, the patient was located by body surface theodolitic puncture, and then partial lobectomy was performed under video-assisted thoracoscopy. The distance from the nodule to the marked suture and the distance from the nodule to the incisal margin were measured, and the accuracy of localization, the rate of complication and the success rate of surgical resection were calculated.@*RESULTS@#A total of 51 nodules in 41 patients were located by body surface theodolitic puncture localization method. The accuracy rate was 96.1%, and the average location time was 8.3 min. Puncture bleeding occurred in 5 cases (12.2%), all of which were successfully stopped by video-assisted thoracoscopy, and there were no other complications. All patients underwent thoracoscopic partial lobectomy, including 33 cases of anatomical segmentectomy and 8 cases of wedge lobectomy. All the patients in operation process smoothly. The distance between nodule and incisal margin was measured, and all specimens were more than 2 cm, reaching a safe distance. The success rate of surgical resection was 100.0%.@*CONCLUSIONS@#In video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for ground glass nodules of lung, the body surface theodolitic puncture localization method can be accurate, safe and simple.

BACKGROUND:Through a ful investigation of biodegradable scaffolds, we propose a new self-expanding degradable poly-L-lactide coated endotracheal stent based on the design, production, experimental and clinical applications of nickel titanium memory alloy stent. OBJECTIVE:To design a kind of biodegradable endotracheal stent with poly-L-lactide and hydroxyapatite, and to test its mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradation capacity. METHODS:With the technology of computer aided design, the stents were prepared with poly-L-lactide (Mr RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The average radial supporting force of the tracheal stent was 7.8 kPa, the percentage of stent surface coverage was less than 20%, the stent expansion rate was≥4%, and the stent longitudinal shortening rate was≤9%, which reached the mechanical requirements for degradable endotracheal stents. After 4-16 weeks, there was no significant inflammatory response. The decline in molecular weight changes and weight loss ratio was higher for in vivo degradation than in vitro degradation at different time (P<0.05). These findings indicate that poly-L-lactide/hydroxyapatite composite stents have good mechanical properties, biocompatibility and biodegradability. 150 000) and hydroxyapatite materials, 20 mm to 26 mm in diameter. The mechanical properties were tested using a universal testing machine. These poly-L-lactide/hydroxyapatite stents were implanted into dog models of tracheal stenosis at an appropriate size. The histopathological changes of the tracheas were observed, and biodegradation property was studied via molecular weight changes and weight loss ratio after 4, 8, 12, 16 weeks.
