ABSTRACT
Aim To explore the possible mechanism of "component-target-pathway" of Radix Hedysari against target organ damage caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and to verify the " dose-effect" relationship of the main active components. Methods TCMSP, Uniprot, Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards, Cytoscape, Omicshare and other platforms were used for network pharmacology analysis. Autodock, Pymol and Ligplot were used for molecular docking. The water extract of Radix Hedysari was used for animal experiment verification. The contents of eight main components were determined by HPLC. Results Four active components, eight key targets and four key pathways of Radix Hedysari were identified to resist the damage of target organs caused by radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Molecular docking showed that formononetin and quercetin had good binding activity with HSP90AA1, naringenin and MAPK3, and ursolic acid and TP53. Animal experiments showed that gastrointestinal factors MTL and VIP increased significantly, liver and kidney factors Cr, BUN, AST and ALT decreased significantly, inflammatory factor IL-10 increased significantly and TNF-a decreased significantly. The content of ononm was the highest (2 . 884 8 µg • g "
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>The aim of this study was to determine the repeatability and reproducibility of optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) based on optical microangiography (OMAG) measurements of macular vessels in normal eyes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>In this prospective cohort study, 40 eyes of 40 healthy volunteers underwent repeated OCTA (Cirrus HD-OCT 5000 angiography system, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Inc.) scans on two separate visit days. On each visit day, the eyes were scanned three times. The following parameters were used to quantitatively describe the OCTA images of the superficial vascular network: vessel area density (VAD), vessel skeleton density (VSD), vessel diameter index (VDI), vessel perimeter index (VPI), vessel complexity index (VCI), flux, and foveal avascular zone (FAZ). Coefficient of variation (CV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated for evaluating intravisit and intervisit repeatability, as well as interobserver reproducibility.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The measurements showed high repeatability [CVs ⪕ 4.2% (intravisit) and ⪕ 4.6% (intervisit)] and interobserver reproducibility (ICCs ⪖ 0.923) for all parameters.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>This study demonstrated good repeatability and reproducibility of OCTA based on OMAG for the measurement of superficial vessel parameters in normal eyes.</p>

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the methods and therapeutic effects of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures with an extended anterolateral approach.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2011 to December 2013, 15 patients with posterolateral tibial plateau fractures were treated by extended anterolateral approach, including 9 males and 6 females, with an average age of (38.4±7.7) years old ranging from 23 to 70 years old. Seven patients were on the left knees and 8 patients were on the right knees. The injury causes included traffic accidents in 6 cases, falling from height in 7 cases, and falling down when walking in 2 cases. The time from injury to operation was 2 to 14 days (means 5.6 days).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients were followed up with an average of 19.7 months ranging from 12 to 30 months. All patients were followed with anteroposterior and lateral X ray and CT films, which showed anatomic reduction or near anatomic reduction. The follow up CT scan showed an anatomic reduction in 14 patients and step and gap measurement of 3 mm in 1 case. The average radiographic bony union time was 9.6 weeks (ranged from 8 to 14 weeks). There were no wound complications, nonunion, plate loosening or breakage, valgus knee deformity, or fracture redisplacement. No patients sustained neural or vascular injuries, with knee extension of (2.1±2.1)° and knee flexion of (120.6±18.9)° at the final follow up. The total Rasmussen score averaged (25.0±2.8) points, the result was excellent in 10 cases, good in 4 cases, fair in 1 case.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The extended anterolateral approach has the advantage of allowing visualization of the posterolateral tibial plateau fragments, therefore facilitating its reduction. The approach also ensures safe and adequate posterior placement of a lateral buttress plate because the plate can be placed more posteriorly than can occur through an anterolateral approach.</p>
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the clinical effects of surgery reduction and internal fixation through posteromedial knee approaches in the treatment of posteromedial condylar split fracture of tibial plateau.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>From January 2006 to July 2009,21 patients with posteromedial condylar split fracture of tibial plateau were treated by posteromedial knee approaches. Among the patients, 14 cases were males and 7 cases were females,ranging from 28 to 68 years old with an average of 36.9 years old. For traumatic causes, 14 cases were injured by traffic accident and 7 cases by fall. Compound injury, 15 cases combined with anterior cruciate ligament injury and tibia insertion avulsion fracture; 14 cases combined with posterolateral de-pressed tibial plateau fracture. Rasmussen assessment criteria was used to evaluate the therapeutic effects.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All patients were followed up,from 12 to 30 months with an average of 17.3 months. All patients didn't undergo infection,looseness and rupture of fixation,nonunion of fracture,inversion and eversion of the knee or displacement of fracture. All cases attained anatomical reduction after operation,only 1 patient felt numbness of posterior lower part of the calf. According to Rasmussen assessment criteria, 12 cases got an excellent result, 7 good and 2 fair.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>It is beneficial for the postermedial knee approaches to be used in the reduction and fixation of posteromedial condylar split fracture of tibial plateau. It has advantages of clearly exposure, convenient placement of the internal fixation, less trauma and good therapeutic effects.</p>
