ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To determine the conte nts of 4 main components in Rougui renshen granules ，and to establish the fingerprint and to screen differential markers affecting its quality. METHODS HPLC method was employed to determine the contents of ammonium glycyrrhizinate ，glycyrrhizin，cinnamic acid and cinnamaldehyde. HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of Rougui renshen granules were established simultaneously. Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 edition）was used to evaluate the similarity and determine the common peak ；SPSS 25.0 and SIMCA 14.1 software were applied for cluster analysis （CA），principal component analysis （PCA）and partial least square-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）. The differential markers affecting sample quality were screened by using the variable importance in projection （VIP）value＞ 1 as standard. RESULTS The methodology of content determination met the relevant requirements. The contents of ammonium glycyrrhizinate，glycyrrhizin，cinnamic acid and cinnamaldehyde were 1.808 4-2.770 0，1.137 2-1.481 4，0.076 5-0.091 8 and 0.130 9-0.478 4 mg/g，respectively. A total of 16 common peaks were found in the fingerprints of 10 batches of Rougui renshen granules. Four chromatographic peaks were identified ，i.e. glycyrrhizin （peak 6），cinnamic acid （peak 10），cinnamaldehyde（peak 11）and ammonium glycyrrhizinate （peak 15）. The similarities of samples were ＞0.95. Results of CA showed that 10 batches of samples could be classified into three categories ：S3 was grouped into one category ；S1-S2，S4-S5 and S 10 were grouped into one category；S6-S9 were grouped into one category. The results of PCA showed that the cumulative contribution rate of the first three principal components was 91.918％，and the classification results were consistent with CA. The results of OPLS-DA showed that the four peaks with VIP value ＞1 were peak 11（cinnamaldehyde），peak 15（ammonium glycyrrhizinate ），peak 6（glycyrrhizin） and peak 9. CONCLUSIONS Established methods of content determination and fingerprint are accurate and reproducible ，and can be used for the quality evaluation of Rougui renshen granules. The components as ammonium glycyrrhizinate ，cinnamaldehyde， glycyrrhizin may be differential markers affecting the quality of Rougui renshen granules.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of the new mesalazine enteric-coated sustained-release granules in SD rats and their distribution in the gastrointestinal tract, and to understand the preclinical pharmacokinetics and gastrointestinal distribution characteristics of the preparation. Methods Rats were administered orally to determine the drug concentrations in plasma samples and in the gastrointestinal tract. The commercially available mesalazine sustained-release granule was used as a reference to self-developed one to evaluate the process of absorption and elimination in vivo, relative bioavailability, and distribution in the gastrointestinal tract. Results The relative bioavailability of mesalazine enteric-coated sustained-release granule and non-enteric-coated one characterized by mesalazine was 89.62% ± 9.36%. After oral administration of mesalazine enteric-coated sustained-release granules, the drug has a high concentration distribution in the stomach within 2-8 hours, and gradually enters and remains in the jejunum, ileum and colon over time for 6-12 hours and then reaching a high concentration distribution in the colon. This help for the absorption of mesalazine, as well as the fixed-point release of the drug to produce a therapeutic effect. Conclusion The absorption and elimination process of mesalazine enteric sustained-release granule showed linear kinetic characteristics. There was no significant difference in pharmacokinetic parameters from the commercially available formulations, and it had a certain fluidity in the gastrointestinal tract. Good gastrointestinal distribution characteristics help the absorption of drugs in the body and the targeted release of the site of action
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the factors influencing postpyloric placement of spiral nasoenteral feeding tube(NET) in neurocritical care patients and establish a visualized prediction model. METHODS: Patients in Neurological Intensive Care Unit(NICU)who undertook postpyloric placement of NET after receiving prokinetics from Apr 2012 to Mar 2018 were included for retrospective analysis. The patients were divided into the success and failure group base on whether the tube tip entered into duodenum(or beyond)or not confirmed by bedside X-ray 24 hours later. The baseline data, APACHE Ⅱ score(acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ), AGI grade(acute gastrointestinal injury), therapeutic measures and agents administered were recorded. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the potential factors affecting the postpyloric placement of NET. Based on those factors, a predicting model was established and visualized into an easy-to-use nomogram. RESULTS: A total of 241 patients including146 male and 95 female were enrolled for the study, with an median age of 58 years, median APACHEⅡscore of 20, median AGI of Ⅰ.The placement succeeded in 119(49.4%) of 241 patients. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that APACHE Ⅱ score, sedatives and analgesics, vasopressors and AGI grade were among the influencing factors. A prediction model with a ROC-AUC of 0.8002 were established and visualized into a nomogram. CONCLUSION: APACHE Ⅱ score, sedatives and analgesics, vasopressors and AGI grade are the factors influencing success of postpyloric NET placement in neurocritical care patients, which incorporate a predicting model that can be visualized into a nomogram. The nomogram provided intensivists an easy-to-use decision support tool in NET placements.
ABSTRACT
To explore the effect of post-pyloric feeding by spiral nasoenteric tubes on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in neurocritical care patients. Methods A retrospective study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 175 neurocritical care adult patients with mechanical ventilation (MV) more than 48 hours, who were enrolled in three randomized controlled trials (RCT) conducted by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital for post-pyloric tube placement between April 2012 to March 2019. The following patient clinical data were collected when patients were enrolled: gender, age, neurologic diagnosis, comorbidities, medication, endotracheal reintubation, bronchoscope treatment, the distal site of nasoenteric tubes, and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ) score, sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score, and acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) grade assessed. Patients were divided into VAP group and non-VAP group according to the occurrence of VAP, and the differences of each index between the two groups were compared. Then the influencing factors of P < 0.1 were included in multivariate Logistic regression analysis to identify the potential risk factors affecting the incidence of VAP. Furthermore, patients were divided into gastric feeding group and post-pyloric feeding group according to the distal site of nasoenteric tubes, and subgroup analysis was performed to evaluate the variety of VAP in patients with different tube sites and status. Results ① Forty-two patients occurred VAP in 175 MV patients, and the incidence of VAP was 24.0%. ② Univariate analysis showed the P value of post-pyloric feeding, APACHE Ⅱscore, GCS score and bronchoscope treatment were less than 0.1, and post-pyloric feeding and GCS score in VAP group were significantly lower than those in non-VAP group [post-pyloric feeding: 19.0% (8/42) vs. 36.8% (49/133), GCS:5 (3, 7) vs. 6 (4, 9), both P < 0.05]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that post-pyloric feeding was independent protective factor [odds ratio (OR) = 0.360, 95% confidence internal (95%CI) = 0.151-0.857, P = 0.021] and bronchoscope treatment was the independent risk factor (OR = 2.210, 95%CI = 1.051-4.647, P = 0.036) for VAP. ③ The incidence of VAP was 28.8% (34/118), 0% (0/4), 8.3% (1/12), 26.7% (4/15), 22.2% (2/9) and 5.9% (1/17) respectively when tube tip in stomach, D1, D2, D3, D4 and jejunum confirmed by abdominal radiography. Post-pyloric feeding in each proportion seemed to present lower VAP rate compared with gastric feeding, however, no significant difference was found (all P > 0.05). ④ The incidence of VAP in post-pyloric feeding group was significantly lower than that in gastric feeding group [14.0% (8/57) vs. 28.8% (34/118), OR = 0.403, 95%CI = 0.173-0.941, P = 0.032]. Lower VAP rate appeared on patients with SOFA < 12 (OR = 0.392, 95%CI = 0.154-0.995, P = 0.044) and AGI grade ≥Ⅱ (OR =0.086, 95%CI = 0.011-0.705, P = 0.006) fed by post-pyloric route according to the result of subgroup analysis stratified by age, gender, APACHEⅡ score, SOFA score and AGI grade. Conclusion Post-pyloric feeding would decrease the incidence of VAP in neurocritical care patients on MV.
ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore the mechanism of a novel mutation (p.Lys38Glu) in apolipoprotein H (APOH) gene causing hereditary beta2-glycoprotein Ⅰ (β2GPI) deficiency and thrombosis in a proband with thrombophilia.The plasma level of β2GPI was measured by ELISA and Western blotting,and anti-β2GPI antibody by ELISA.Lupus anticoagulant (LA) was assayed using the dilute Russell viper venom time.Deficiency of the major natural anticoagulants including protein C (PC),protein S (PS),antithrombin (AT) and thrombomodulin (TM) was excluded from the proband.A mutation analysis was performed by amplification and sequencing of the APOH gene.Wild type and mutant (c.112A＞G) APOH expression plasmids were constructed and transfected into HEK293T cells.The results showed that the thrombin generation capacity of the proband was higher than that of the other family members.Missense mutation p.Lys38Glu in APOH gene and LA coexisted in the proband.The mutation led to β2GPI deficiency and thrombosis by impairing the protein production and inhibiting the platelet aggregation.It was concluded that the recurrent thrombosis of the proband is associated with the coexistence ofp.Lys38Glu mutation in APOH gene and LA in plasma.

ABSTRACT
The rheological properties of six compound gels that consists of kappa carrageenan (KC) and another excipient such as konjac gum were explored through comparison of their viscosity measured by the rotation method. The gel fluid type was dependent on the rheological curve fitted by the power-law equation. The effect of concentration on the viscosity of different compound gels was investigated by establishing the linear equation between their viscosity and concentration, the slope of which was used to determine the relation between viscosity and concentration of different compound gels. The viscous flow activation energy (Eη) was calculated by the Arrhenius equation, which was able to investigate the effect of temperature on their viscosity. The interaction between monomer and compound gels was also studied by measuring their viscosity. The results showed that six compound gels were pseudoplastic fluid. Among all compound gels, the KC-xanthan gum (KC-XG) solution exhibited the most obvious shear thinning, the strongest pseudoplasticity, while the smallest Eη, resulting in the best thermal stability of viscosity. Furthermore, the concentration of KC-sodium hyaluronate (KC-HA-Na) solution affected its viscosity significantly. The viscosity of six compound gels was greater than the summation of the two kinds of monomer gels, which suggests that there is a synergistic-viscosity interaction between KC and another excipient.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) in the treatment of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), and to look for the predictors of failure of NPPV. Methods A retrospective observation was conducted. ARDS patients underwent NPPV admitted to emergency intensive care unit (EICU) of Guangdong General Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled. The patients were divided into success group and failure group according to the clinical efficacy. The condition of the patients in the two groups was evaluated, and ARDS classification and acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score before treatment were recorded. Etiological composition of ARDS was analyzed. The parameters, including heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2), were recorded before and 2 hours after the treatment of NPPV. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted for predicting the independent factors inducing the failure of NPPV treatment of patients with ARDS. Results The date of 137 patients with ARDS were collected, excluding the followed patients, 6 with coma, 18 with hemodynamic instability, 5 with severe hypoxia, and 5 with incomplete date. Finally, a total of 103 patients entered the statistics. There were 69 patients in NPPV success group, and 34 in failure group. Compared with success group, APACHE Ⅱ score in the failure group was higher (21.4±6.2 vs. 19.7±8.9), the ratios of patients with severe ARDS and those induced by pulmonary infection were higher [82.4% (28/34) vs. 5.8% (4/69), 32.4% (11/34) vs. 8.7% (6/69), respectively, both P < 0.05]. HR and RR before NPPV in the failure group were significantly higher than those of success group [HR (bpm): 124±13 vs. 117±12, RR (bpm): 39±5 vs. 33±4], and PaO2/FiO2, PaO2, PaCO2, and SaO2 were significantly lower than those of the success group [PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 104±10 vs. 156±12, PaO2 (mmHg): 53±8 vs. 68±7, PaCO2 (mmHg): 31±5 vs. 37±7, SaO2: 0.83±0.07 vs. 0.91±0.05, all P < 0.05]. It was shown by logistic regression analysis that severe ARDS [odds ratio (OR) = 10.533, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 5.847-89.852, P = 0.000], pulmonary infection resulted ARDS (OR = 4.831, 95%CI = 1.688-13.825, P = 0.003) and PaO2/FiO2 < 140 mmHg 2 hours after treatment (OR = 7.049, 95%CI = 1.266-39.236, P = 0.026) were the independent risk factors of NPPV failure for the treatment of patients with ARDS. Conclusions Patients with severe ARDS and pulmonary infection derived ARDS were the risk factors of failure to NPPV in ARDS. Lack of improvement in oxygenation 2 hours after NPPV is the predictor of NPPV failure and change to invasive ventilation.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Severe pain after total hip arthroplasty is an important factor for successful rehabilitation of postoperative joint function. Analgesic method after total hip arthroplasty is a hot issue. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the analgesic effect of different concentrations of ropivacaine after total hip arthroplasty. METHODS:69 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty were recruited from Department of Anesthesiology, Suqian People’s Hospital, from January 2012 to June 2014. According to the ASA classification, their physical status was graded I to III. The involved patients were randomly divided into three groups:0.25%ropivacaine group, 0.3%ropivacaine group, 0.35%ropivacaine group. Each group had 23 cases. At 30 minutes after the surgery, different concentrations of ropivacaine, 20 mL, were injected to patients due to continuous fascia iliaca compartment block. The catheter was then connected to a patient-control ed analgesia pump programmed to deliver 10 mL with a lockout interval of 60 minutes, for postoperative analgesia (72 hours). At 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours of blockade, the visual analogous scale (VAS) scores at rest, passive and active activity were recorded. When VAS score at rest ≥ 4 points, parecoxib sodium 40 mg was injected intravenously. The consumption of ropivacaine within 72 hours after the blockade, application of parecoxib sodium, time of ambulation, and adverse reactions during blockade were recorded. The analgesic effect in the three groups was also observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with 0.25%ropivacaine group, static VAS scores of 0.3%ropivacaine group and 0.35%ropivacaine group showed no significant difference (P>0.05), passive and active VAS scores were significantly decreased (P0.05). The ropivacaine consumption of 0.3%ropivacaine group and 0.35%ropivacaine group was not statistical y significant (P>0.05). The usage of parecoxib sodium in 0.3%ropivacaine group and 0.35%ropivacaine group was significantly lower than that in 0.25%ropivacaine group (P0.05). Experimental findings indicate that, three different concentrations of ropivacaine has certain analgesic effects after total hip arthroplasty with fewer adverse reactions, and the concentration of 0.3%ropivacaine is the suitable concentration for postoperative analgesia of total hip arthroplasty, it can reduce the amount of parecoxib sodium and shorten the day of first walk.
