ABSTRACT
In order to provide basic information for the utilization and development of famous classical formulas containing Bletillae Rhizoma， this article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， harvesting and processing of Bletillae Rhizoma by reviewing the ancient materia medica， prescription books， medical books and modern literature. The research results showed that Baiji（白及） was the main name， some scholars took Baiji（白芨） as its main name， and there were many other names such as Baiji（白给）， Baigen（白根）， Baiji（白苙）. The mainstream source of Bletillae Rhizoma was the tubers of Bletilla striata， and drying， large， white， solid， root-free and skin removed completely were the good quality standards. With the promotion of wild to cultivated medicinal materials， there were certain differences between their traits， and the quality evaluation indexes should be adjusted accordingly. The origin of records in the past dynasties was widely distributed， with Guizhou and Sichuan having high production and good quality in modern times. The harvesting period is mostly in spring and autumn， and harvested in autumn was better. The processing and processing technology is relatively simple， and it was used fresh or powdered in past dynasties， while it is mainly sliced for raw use in modern times. Based on the results， it is suggested that the tubers of Bletilla striata of Orchidaceae should be used in the famous classical formulas， and it should be uniformly written as Baiji（白及）. And if the original formula indicates the requirement of processing， it should be operated according to the requirement， if the requirement of processing is not indicated， it can be used in raw form as medicine.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To provide reference for quality control of Gentiana rhodantha. METHODS Taking 52 batches of G. rhodantha as subject， ultra-high performance liquid chromatography （UPLC） fingerprint was adopted. The similarity of 52 batches of medicinal materials samples was evaluated by the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprints of Traditional Chinese Medicine （2004A edition）； the content of mangiferin was determined； chemometric analyses [cluster analysis， principal component analysis （PCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）] were performed. RESULTS UPLC fingerprints of 52 batches of G. rhodantha were established， 17 common peaks were identified， and 6 of them were identified， which were loganic acid （peak 1）， neomangiferin （peak 3）， swertiamarin （peak 5）， dangyin （peak 6）， mangiferin （peak 7） and isoorientin （peak 9）. The similarities of 52 batches of medicinal materials samples were all greater than 0.9； cluster analysis showed that S1-S46， S48-S52 clustered into one class， and S47 alone； PCA results showed that the cumulative variance contribution rate of the first six principal components was 82.928%； OPLS-DA results showed that the corresponding components of swertiamarin， mangiferin and chemical composition represented by peak 4， 14， 15， 16 were the main iconic components affecting the quality differences of G. rhodantha medicinal materials. The contents of mangiferin in 52 batches of medicinal material samples ranged from 18.2 to 101.0 mg/g， mostly in accordance with 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC fingerprint and chemometric analysis methods combined with content determination method of mangiferin can comprehensively evaluate the quality of G. rhodantha.

ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of quantitative detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA from different sources [plasma, sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)] for CMV pneumonia after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods Clinical data of 405 recipients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 19 recipients diagnosed with CMV pneumonia were assigned into the CMV pneumonia group, and 229 recipients with CMV viremia alone, 11 recipients without CMV pneumonia who received fiberoptic bronchoscopy and 16 recipients diagnosed with bacterial or fungal pneumonia based on pathogenic evidence receiving sputum culture were assigned into the control A, B and C groups, respectively. The incidence of CMV pneumonia was summarized. The CMV DNA load of specimens from different sources (plasma, sputum and BALF) of recipients with CMV pneumonia was analyzed. The clinical prognosis of recipients with CMV pneumonia was evaluated. Results Among 405 recipients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, 19 cases developed CMV pneumonia, and the overall incidence of CMV pneumonia was 4.7%(19/405). The CMV DNA load in the plasma, sputum and BALF of recipients with CMV pneumonia was higher than those in the control A, B and C groups (all P < 0.05). In the 19 recipients, 12 cases were cured after antiviral treatment and 7 died from treatment failure(3 cases abandoned treatment). The fatality was 37%(7/19). Conclusions Quantitative detection of CMV DNA in the plasma, sputum and BALF may increase the diagnostic rate of CMV pneumonia, thereby improving clinical prognosis of recipients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE：To establish fingerprint of Lonicera japonica ，and to study its anti-inflammatory spectrum-effect relationship. METHODS ：HPLC was adopted. The determination was performed on Diamonsil C 18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1％ formic acid solution-acetonitrile （gradient elution ）at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The column temperature was 30 ℃，and detection wavelength was 238 nm. The sample size was 10 μL. Using chlorogenic acid as reference，HPLC fingerprint of 10 batches of L. japonica from different production areas was established according to TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System （2012 edition）. By comparing with reference substance ，chemical constituents corresponding to common peaks were identified ，and the similarity analysis was conducted. Acute and chronic inflammatory models of mice induced by xylene ，carrageenan and cotton ball were used to evaluate inhibition rate of 10 batches of L. japonica to ear，foot and granuloma swelling； the average value was calculated as the comprehensive pharmacodynamic index. The spectrum-effect relationship with HPLC fingerprint of L. japonica and anti-inflammatory effect was analyzed by grey relational analysis （GRA）and partial least squares regressiosn （PLSR）based on common peak area and comprehensive pharmacodynamic index . Chromatographic peaks with correlation＞0.7 and regression coefficient of PLSR model ＞0 were characteristic peaks. The percentage of peak areas of characteristic peaks to peak areas of common peak was calculated in 10 batches of L. japonica （e.g.“peak ratio ”）. RESULTS ： There were 25 common peaks in HPLC fingerprints of 10 batches of L. japonica ，with similarity of 0.775-0.994. Totally 9 peaks were confirmed ，i.e. rutin （peak 18），hyperoside（peak 20），isochlorogenc acid B （peak 22），galuteolin（peak 21），chlorogenc acid（peak 9），loganin（peak 10），neochlorogenic acid （peak 2），isochlorogenic acid C （peak 25），isochlorogenic acid A （peak 23）. All 10 batches of L. japonica had inhibitory effects on ear swelling ，foot swelling and granuloma ，with average inhibitory rate of 47.95％-56.52％. The correlation by GRA was peak 8＞12＞18＞16＞3＞11＞20＞22＞19＞21＞1＞9＞10＞13＞24＞14＞2＞ 17＞25＞23＞5＞4＞15，and all of correlations were greater than 0.7. The regression coefficient of PLSR for peaks 2，4，5，7，8， 10，12，13，14，15，16，17，18，20，21，22，24 were all greater than 0；those peaks were positively correlated with anti-inflammatory effect and were characteristic peaks except for peak 7； among them ，VIP values of peaks 5，8，10，16，18， 20，24 were greater than 1. The peak ratio of 10 batches of L. japonica was 58.61％-71.19％. CONCLUSIONS ：HPLC fingerprint of 10 batches of L. Japonica is successfully established. 10 batches of samples have similar components ，and the content of anti-inflammatory components is relatively high. The proportion of characteristic peaks to common peaks should not be less than 51.8％.

Patients were divided into 2 groups: lapatinib combined with taxeme-based chemotherapy group (group A; n=25, age: 29-65 (47.8±11.3) years) and lapatinib monotherapy group (group B; n=35, age: 31-62 (51.1±8.5) years). All patients underwent gated equilibration ventriculography before treatment and 6/12 months after treatment. The parameters of left ventricular function including left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF), peak ejection rate (PER), peak filling rate (PFR), 1/3 ejection fraction (EF), 1/3 filling fraction (FF), time to peak ejection rate (TPER) and time of peak filling rate (TPFR) were observed. Repeated measurement analysis of variance, independent-samples t test and Wilcoxon rank sum test were performed.@*Results@#In group A, the PER at 12 months after treatment ((3.11±0.48) end-diastolic volume (EDV)/s) was lower than that before treatment ((3.60±0.62) EDV/s; F=3.447, t=0.60, P<0.05), while there was no statistical difference between PER at 6 months after treatment ((3.34±0.57) EDV/s) and that before treatment (t=0.51, P>0.05); the PFR at 6 months ((3.07±0.71) EDV/s) and 12 months after treatment ((2.84±0.54) EDV/s) declined significantly compared with that before treatment ((3.57±0.81) EDV/s; F=5.345, t=0.82 and 0.75, both P<0.05). In group B, the PFR at 12 months after treatment ((2.86±0.55) EDV/s) declined significantly compared with that before treatment ((3.23±0.87) EDV/s; F=3.214, t=0.84, P<0.05). The decrease of PFR at 6 months and 12 months after treatment in group A was greater than that in group B (-0.37(-0.78, 0.15) vs -0.13(-0.44, 0.17) EDV/s; z=-1.569, P<0.05).@*Conclusions@#The gated equilibration ventriculography can effectively monitor the left ventricular function of breast cancer patients after targeted therapy. PER and PFR may be more sensitive than other parameters to assess heart function changes. The lapatinib combined with taxeme-based chemotherapy can affect diastolic function more and earlier than lapatinib monotherapy.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To investigate the feasibility of early monitoring doxorubicin (DOX)-induced cardiotoxicity by apoptosis molecular imaging of 2-(5-[18F]fluoro-pentyl)-2-methyl-malonic acid (18F-ML-10) PET/CT.@*Methods@#Forty-seven BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the chemotherapy group (n=30) and the control group (n=17) according to the random number table. The mice in chemotherapy group were intraperitoneally injected with DOX (4 mg/kg) once a week for 3 weeks and mice in the control group were injected with the same amount of normal saline. All mice were subjected to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 18F-ML-10 PET/CT imaging at day 0, 2, 9, 16, and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was continuously monitored using cine cardiac MR (cine-CMR) imaging. The region of interest (ROI) was delineated on PET/CT images, and the maximum percentage activity of injection dose per gram of tissue (%ID/g) was calculated. The mice were sacrificed after imaging, and the heart tissue was taken for HE staining and TdT-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. One-way analysis of variance, independent-samples t test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.@*Results@#In the chemotherapy group, the myocardial 18F-FDG uptake on day 0, 2, 9, 16 were (63.3±14.5), (93.7±24.0), (153.6±20.6) and (135.8±32.5) %ID/g respectively, and 18F-ML-10 uptake were (0.09±0.02), (0.18±0.03), (0.22±0.04) and (0.55±0.12) %ID/g respectively. Compared with baseline (day 0), 18F-FDG and 18F-ML-10 uptake were significantly increased in the chemotherapy group at each time point after DOX administration(F=6.823, 20.848, both P<0.01). The myocardial 18F-ML-10 and 18F-FDG uptake were essentially unchanged at all time points in the control group(F=2.036, 1.155, both P>0.05). TUNEL and HE staining indicated that the cardiomyocytes in the chemotherapy group showed obvious apoptosis and vacuolization, and the apoptotic index (AI) was positively correlated with the 18F-ML-10 uptake (r=0.950, P<0.01). The cine-CMR imaging results showed that the LVEF in the chemotherapy group continued to decrease after DOX administration (F=4.507, P<0.05), and significant difference was identified at day 16 (t=2.980, P<0.05). There was a significant negative correlation between 18F-ML-10 uptake and LVEF (r=-0.709, P=0.01).@*Conclusions@#Both 18F-FDG and 18F-ML-10 PET/CT imaging can early assess DOX-induced cardiotoxicity in vivo. Given the high targeting specificity of 18F-ML-10, it may have a greater clinical transformation advantage over 18F-FDG in early assessment of cardiotoxicity.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE： To investigate the effects of different doses of total alkaloids from Aconitum racemulosum （ARTA） on serum inflammation factors and FOS protein expression in synovial tissue of joint in collagen-induced arthritis （CIA） model rats， and to investigate its potential mechanism of anti-rheumatoid arthritis （RA）. METHODS： Male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， positive group （Compound dexamethasone acetate ointment， 0.2 g/kg）， ARTA low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups （56.26， 112.50， 225.00 mg/kg， by the weight of ARTA in the extract）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for blank group， other groups were given subcutaneous injection of Bovine collagen Ⅱ emulsified with incomplete Freund’s adjuvant into the left foot to establish CIA model； the left foot were smeared with relevant medicine from the day of modeling. Blank group and model group were smeared with constant volume of 65％ ethanol， 3 times a day， for consecutive 28 days. On the 7th， 14th， 21st and 28th day of administration， the thickness of left hind toe was measured with vernier caliper， and the degree of foot swelling was calculated. The serum contents of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in rats were measured by ELISA after last administration. The expression of FOS protein in synovial tissue was determined by immunohistochemical method [expressed by HIS]. The comprehensive score was conculated by entropy weight method. Effects of each dosage on above indexes of CIA model rats were evaluated with the comprehensive score. RESULTS： Compared with blank group， the degree of foot swelling， serum content of inflammatory factors and HIS value were increased significantly in model group （P＜0.05）. Compared with model group， the degree of foot swelling in each administration group， serum contents of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α， HIS in positive group and ARTA high-dose group， serum contents of IL-6 and TNF-α in ARTA medium-dose group as well as serum content of TNF-α in ARTA low-dose group were decreased significantly（P＜0.05）. Comprehensive score of above indicators were 0.37（positive group）， 0.31（ARTA high-dose group）， 0.23（ARTA medium-dose group） and 0.09（ARTA low-dose group）. CONCLUSIONS： ARTA can improve CIA model rats， and the effect tends to increase with the increase of dose. Above effect may be associated with reducing serum content of inflammatory factors and inhibiting the expression of FOS protein in synovial tissue.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the current situations of the frailty and the perceived social support and explore the influence of social support on the frailty in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods The 237 elderly patients with maintenance hemodialysis were investigated by the Fried frailty phenotype and the perceived social support scale in this cross-sectional study.Results The prevalence of frailty was 163 (68.8％)in 237 patients.The level of perceived social support was low.The frailty was negatively correlated with the social supportscore,family support,friends support,and other support(r =-0.326,-0.129,-0.301 and-0.230,respectively,all P ＜0.05).Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that friends support,dialysis vintage,Charlson comorbidity index(CCI)score and activities of daily living(ADL)score were the main influential factors for frailty in elderly maintenance hemodialysis patients.Conclusions Medical staff should evaluate the frailty in elderly patients with maintenance hemodialysis,and the frailty can be alleviated by improving the support of friends.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the mechanism of TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) promoting apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cells SW1990, Patu8988 and BxPC3. Methods Three kinds of pancreatic cancer cells SW1990, Patu8988 and BxPC3 were transfected with the pCA13 plasmid carrying TRAIL gene ( pCA13 TRAIL group) and the blank plasmid control ( pCA13 group) , respectively. The expression of TRAIL mRNA in transfected cells was detected by RT-PCR, and the expression of TRAIL protein was detected by Western blot. The apoptosis rate and expression of TRAIL receptor R1 and R2 were detected by flow cytometry. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL and Hoechst double staining, and observed by electron microscopy. The expression of caspase-3 in transfected cells was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results SW1990, Patu8988 and BxPC3 cells can expresse TRAIL mRNA and protein within 24 h after transfection. The apoptotic rate at 24 h after transfection was (27. 30 ± 5. 14)％, (13. 52 ± 0. 95)％ and (31. 40 ± 8. 70)％,respectively, which was higher than that of pCA13 group [(10. 58 ± 1. 88)％,(8. 42 ± 0. 46)％ and (16.11 ±1.66)％], respectively. The expression rates of TRAIL-R1 were (61.37 ± 3.05)％,(42.10 ± 5. 11)％ and (36. 64 ± 4. 84)％, respectively, and the expression rates of TRAIL-R2 were (36. 20 ± 4. 83)％,(37. 26 ± 8. 46)％ and (24. 32 ± 3. 71)％, respectively,which were higher than those of pCA13 group except PATU8988 cells. Positivity rates of caspase-3 were ( 14. 64 ± 5. 35 )％, ( 9. 92 ± 5. 50 )％ and (16. 12 ± 6. 74)％, which were obviously higher than ( 3. 01 ± 1. 50 )％, ( 1. 75 ± 0. 50 )％ and ( 3. 79 ± 1. 58)％ in pCA13 group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0. 05). Conclusions TRAIL could up-regulate the expression of TRAIL R1 and R2 in multiple pancreatic cancer cell lines in vitro, and thus promote cell apoptosis.
