ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the volatile chemical constituents of Panacix Quinquefolii Radix of different origins and different growth years,in order to provide the theoretical basis for the further development and utilization of Panacix Quinquefolii Radix. Method: Headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was used to extract,analyze and identify the volatile constituents of Panacix Quinquefolii Radix. The chromatographic peak area normalization method was used to determine the relative amount of ingredients. Result: A total of 151 compounds were identified in Panacix Quinquefolii Radix samples,including 99 hydrocarbons,21 alcohol phenols,7 aldehydes,8 ketones,1 ester,15 heterocyclics and other compounds. Totally 68 kinds of compounds were identified in the roots of three-year-old Jilin Baishan,and the mass fraction accounted for 98.27%,67 compounds were identified in the roots of four-year-old Jilin Baishan,and the mass fraction accounted for 98.79%,65 compounds were identified in 3-year-old Panacix Quinquefolii Radix root,and the mass fraction accounted for 95.81%,and 63 compounds were identified in 4-year-old Panacix Quinquefolii Radix root,and the mass fraction accounted for 99.67%. The specific components of the volatile oil components of the four Panacix Quinquefolii Radix samples were 24,23,19,and 23,respectively,and the total composition was 16 species. Conclusion: The content and composition of volatile chemical constituents of Panacix Quinquefolii Radix of different origins are very different. This experiment provides a reference for the future quality evaluation of Panacix Quinquefolii Radix medicinal materials,rational development and utilization of resources.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the optimal methods for the reconstruction and preservation of the glans after partial penis resection in the treatment of early-stage penile cancer.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Between January 2012 and June 2015, we treated 6 cases of early- stage penile cancer by partial penis resection, inner thigh skin graft, and glans reconstruction and followed them up for 0.5-3 years.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The length of the penis before and after operation was ([6.5 ± 1.2] vs [4.5 ± 1.8] cm) in the flaccid state and ([12.8 ± 2.3] vs [9.1 ± 2.1] cm) in the erectile state. The sense of the reconstructed glans was completely recovered at 3 months after surgery. The glans skin was pale red and soft, nearly normal at 12 months, with no obvious graft contracture or scar formation. All the patients achieved normal erection and their partners were satisfied with their intercourse. No recurrence or metastasis was observed.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The strategy of partial penis resection, inner thigh skin graft and glans reconstruction, simple, effective, and with few complications, is one of the best treatments of early-stage penile cancer, which not only ensures radical removal of the tumor but also maximally reserves the function of the organ.</p>
