ABSTRACT
Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of warm needling moxibustion plus intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate in treating chondromalacia patellae and its effect on inflammatory factors in knee joint fluid. Methods: Sixty-eight patients with chondromalacia patellae were randomized into a control group and an observation group, with 34 cases in each group. The control group was treated with intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate, while the observation group was given additional warm needling moxibustion treatment. Before and after treatment, the two groups were scored using Western Ontario and McMaster Universities osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) and visual analog scale (VAS), examined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and determined for the levels of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β in knee joint fluid. Clinical efficacy was estimated after treatment. Results: The effective rate was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of pain, stiffness and daily activities, as well as the general score of WOMAC declined significantly in both groups (all P<0.05), and were lower in the observation group than in the control group (all P<0.05); the time cost for climbing up and down one staircase and VAS score decreased markedly in both groups (all P<0.05), and were shorter or lower in the observation group than in the control group (both P<0.05); the MRI grading showed no significant change in the control group after intervention (P>0.05), while the grading in the observation group showed notable improvement (P<0.05), and was better than that in the control group (P<0.05); the levels of NF-κB and IL-1β in knee joint fluid dropped significantly in the control group after treatment (both P<0.05), while the levels of NF-κB, TNF-α and IL-1β in knee joint fluid all decreased significantly in the observation group (all P<0.05) and were lower than those in the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion: Warm needling moxibustion plus intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate can produce definite efficacy in treating chondromalacia patellae; it can mitigate the clinical symptoms, improve the lesion extent of chondromalacia and down-regulate the levels of NF-κB, TNF-α and IL-1β in knee joint fluid.
ABSTRACT
The objective of this work was to explore the content and composition of aristolochic acid compounds in Chinese medicinal materials containing toxic aristolochic chemicals, so as to ensure the safety of these medicinal materials and their related products. Nine Chinese medicinal materials were selected for study, including the tuber of Aristolochia cinnabarina, the herbs of Asarum forbesii, the stems of Aristolochia manshuriensis., the fruits of Aristolochia debilis, the roots of Aristolochia debilis, the stems and leaf of Aristolochia debilis, the herbs of Aristolochia mollissima, the roots of Aristolochia fangchi, and the roots of Asarum heterotropoides var. mandshuricum. The aristolochic acid components in the nine Chinese medicinal materials were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with high performance liquid chromatography diode-array detection. The separation was performed on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-Aq column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with gradient elution using a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and 0.2% acetic acid. ESI positive ion mode MS was used to investigate the ionization pathways of aristolochic acid Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲa, Ⅳa, Ⅶa, and aristololactam Ⅰ, Ⅱ using seven reference standards, and the structures of the components with UV spectrasimilar to those of the seven reference standards in the selected medicinal materials were qualitatively analyzed by following the investigated ionization pathways. The identified aristolochic acid components were quantified using an external standard method by HPLC-UV with detection at 254 nm. Twenty-two aristolochic acid components including 11 aristolochic acids and 11 aristololactams were identified from the nine selected medicinal materials; 15 aristolochic acids were found in the tuber of Aristolochia cinnabarina and the roots of Aristolochia debilis, followed by 14 aristolochic acids in the fruits of Aristolochia debilis and the stems of Aristolochia manshuriensis. The greatest content of aristolochia components was found in the tuber of Aristolochia cinnabarina and the stems of Aristolochia manshuriensis, ranging from 8.91 mg·g-1 to 13.40 mg·g-1, and the least amount was in the herbs of Asarum forbesii, at less than 0.10 mg·g-1 and containing only two aristolochia components. This study systematically explored the quantity and composition of aristolochic acid components in selected Chinese medicinal materials believed to contain toxic aristolochic compounds, providing a basis for follow-up studies on the toxicity of these substances that can lead to safety standards for their use.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective Currently,drugs used to treat intracerebral hemorrhage can only relieve the symptoms of patients,but cannot delay the development of the disease or cure the disease.In order to find more effective and less toxic drugs or nutritional supplements against cerebral hemorrhage,curcumin was selected as the active factor in this study to establish a rat model of cerebral hemorrhage to evaluate the effect of curcumin on cognition and hippocampal cell apoptosis in the rat model of cerebral.Methods C57BL/6 male rats were selected to establish the animal model of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.They were divided into negative control group (0.005% ethanol/normal saline) and curcumin group (120 mg/kg,480 mg/kg),Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the spatial learning and memory ability of rats;Apoptotic ratio was determined by apoptosis morphology combined with TUNEL analysis;RNA isolation in rat brain tissue carried out to determine caspase-3 mRNA expression;Western blotting was used to analyze the expression of bcl-2 and Bax proteins in PC12 cells.Results Morris water maze test confirmed that the rats treated with curcumin had a shorter escape incubation period compared with the rats in the sick group.In addition,the percentage of crossing times,residence time and total distance in the platform quadrant significantly increased (P<0.05).Curcumin significantly decreased the expression of caspase-3 mRNA and Bax protein in diseased mice,and increased the ratio of bcl-2/Bax and the expression of bcl-2 protein.Conclusion Curcumin could significantly improve the cognitive function of rats with cerebral hemorrhage.The potential mechanism of action may play a role in preventing neuron injury by inhibiting the neuronal apoptosis signaling pathway.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To compare the efficacy and safety of vancomycin given by continuous infusion vs. intermittent infusion,and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical drug use. METHODS :Retrieved from PubMed ,the Cochrane Library,Embase,Wanfang database ,CNKI and VIP databases ,ranomized controlled trials (RCT)and cohort studies about vancomycin given by continuous infusion (trial group )vs. intermittent infusion (control group )were collected during the inception to Apr. 2020. After literature screening and data extraction ,the qualities of RCTs were evaluated by using bias risk evaluation tool recommended by Cochrane system evaluator manual 6.0. The qualities of cohort studies were evaluated by NOS ;Rev Man 5.3 software was used to perform Meta-analysis and publication bias analysis. RESULTS :A total of 20 studies were included (3 RCTs and 17 cohort studies ),involving 2 380 patients in total. Results of Meta-analysis showed that ,target concentration attainment rate [RR =1.24,95%CI(1.12,1.38),P<0.000 1] and attainment rate of target clinical efficacy [RR =1.20,95%CI(1.04,1.38), P=0.01] of trial group was significantly higher than those of control group. The incidence of nephrotoxicity [RR =0.56,95%CI (0.45,0.70),P<0.000 01] was significantly lower than control group. There was no statistical significance in the therapeutic efficiency [RR =1.02,95%CI(0.95,1.10),P=0.53],drug treatment duration [MD =-0.50,95%CI(-1.40,0.39),P=0.27] or mortality [RR =1.03,95%CI(0.78,1.35),P=0.83] between 2 groups. The results of publication bias showed that the probability of publication bias was high when the incidence of nephrotoxicity was used as the index. CONCLUSIONS :Vancomycin continuous infusion can improve the attainment rate of target concentration and target clinical efficacy ,reduce the incidence of nephrotoxicity , but can not improve the treatment efficiency. Due to the inconsistent results of publication bias analysis ,the above conclusion needs to be interpreted carefully.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical pregnancy (CP) and live birth (LB) rates arising from frozen embryo transfers (FETs) that had been generated under the influence of in vitro fertilization (IVF) adjuvants given to women categorized as poor-prognosis.METHODS: A registered, single-center, retrospective study. A total of 1,119 patients with first FETs cycle include 310 patients with poor prognosis (109 treated with growth hormone [GH], (+)GH group vs. 201 treated with dehydroepiandrosterone, (–)GH group) and 809 patients with good prognosis (as control, (–)Adj (Good) group).RESULTS: The poor-prognosis women were significantly older, with a lower ovarian reserve than the (–)Adj (Good) group, and demonstrated lower chances of CP (p<0.005) and LB (p<0.005). After adjusting for confounders, the chances of both CP and LB in the (+)GH group were not significantly different from those in the (–)Adj (Good) group, indicating that the poor-prognosis patients given GH had similar outcomes to those with a good prognosis. Furthermore, the likelihood of LB was significantly higher for poor-prognosis women given GH than for those who did not receive GH (p<0.028). This was further confirmed in age-matched analyses.CONCLUSION: The embryos cryopreserved from fresh IVF cycles in which adjuvant GH had been administered to women classified as poor-prognosis showed a significant 2.7-fold higher LB rate in subsequent FET cycles than a matched poor-prognosis group. The women with a poor prognosis who were treated with GH had LB outcomes equivalent to those with a good prognosis. We therefore postulate that GH improves some aspect of oocyte quality that confers improved competency for implantation.

Next-generation sequencing has allowed identification of millions of somatic mutations in human cancer cells. A key challenge in interpreting cancer genomes is to distinguish drivers of cancer development among available genetic mutations. To address this issue, we present the first web-based application, consensus cancer driver gene caller (C), to identify the consensus driver genes using six different complementary strategies, i.e., frequency-based, machine learning-based, functional bias-based, clustering-based, statistics model-based, and network-based strategies. This application allows users to specify customized operations when calling driver genes, and provides solid statistical evaluations and interpretable visualizations on the integration results. C is implemented in Python and is freely available for public use at http://drivergene.rwebox.com/c3.
ABSTRACT
Systems and procedures are key to a hospital. How to upgrade hospital quality and medical level with systems and procedures, achieving a consistency among " drafting-practice-presentation" , deserves further attention by hospital administrators. The rounding process used at the hospital is designed to reform and optimize the institutional development. Following the PDCA cycle, the hospital established rounding teams to check the quality compliance, and correct defects found to improve hospital management. Such efforts adapt to conditions of the hospital and help build a closed-loop management model for hospital′s institutional development. Initial success has been observed, as staff compliance of regulations is upgraded, better ensuring medical quality and safety of the hospital.

ABSTRACT
We have developed a new method using HPLC-CAD (charged aerosol detector) for the quantitative analysis of cyclovirobuxine D and related substances in the API of Huangyangning tablets. The related substances were further studied by HPLC-Q-Exactive coupled with hybrid quadrupole-orbitrap mass spectrometry. A HILIC column of XBridge Amide (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) was used, and the mobile phase was composed of acetonitrile and 100 mmol·L-1 ammonium formate (85∶15), which was adjusted to pH 2.8 with formic acid. Isocratic mode elution was adopted at a flow rate of 1.1 mL·min-1. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃. For CAD, the temperature of atomization and gas pressure were respectively set at 35 ℃ and 62.2 psi. This method detected and quantified five related substances to cyclovirobuxine D. The results showed that the LOD and LOQ of cyclovirobuxine D was 12.588 ng and 28.323 ng, respectively with an average recovery of 95.74% (RSD = 1.79%, n = 6). The content of cyclovirobuxine D in 12 batches of API samples provided by three manufacturers was from 79.94% to 88.49%, with an average value of 82.20%. The total content of the five related substances was from 15.99% to 22.15% with an average value of 20.10%, using an external standard method with cyclovirobuxine D as the reference and according to the CAD uniform response to non-volatile substances. The newly developed HPLC-CAD method has advantages in terms of the comprehensiveness of signals from Buxus alkaloids without UV absorption and with high sensitivity to its trace-related substances; the method yields good separation between the components and is compatible with mass spectrometry. It is applicable for the accurate quantitative analysis of main components and related substances in the API of Huangyangning tablets.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effect of triptolide (TP) on oxidative stress and apoptosis in TM4 sertoli cells and related molecular mechanism.@*METHODS@#TM4 cells were incubated with different concentrations of triptolide for 24 h, then collected for further experiments. Cell proliferation analysis was used to measure the inhibitive effect of triptolide on proliferation of TM4 cells; DCFH-DA (6-carboxy-2',7'-dichlorofluorescein diacetate) probe was used to stain the TM4 cells, the level change of intracellular ROS was discovered through flow cytometry; the TM4 cells were stained by Annexin V-FITC/PI to detect whether triptolide induced apoptosis in the TM4 cells; Protein was extracted from the TM4 cells in control and triptolide group. Western blot was performed to determine the expression of apoptosis marker protein cleaved-PARP and PI3K/Akt signaling pathway-related proteins [p-Akt (Ser473), Akt, p-mTOR (Ser2448), mTOR, p-p70S6K (Thr389), p70S6K].@*RESULTS@#Cell proliferation analysis revealed that triptolide reduced the TM4 cells viability significantly compared with control group in a dosage-dependent manner [10 nmol/L: (73.77±20.95)%, 100 nmol/L: (51.60±10.43)%, 500 nmol/L: (44.34±5.78)%]; The level of intracellular ROS in the TM4 cells was significantly induced in a dosage-dependent manner (P<0.01); triptolide remarkably induced early-stage and late-stage apoptosis in the TM4 cells [control: (3.84±1.50)%, 100 nmol/L: (13.04±2.03)%, 200 nmol/L: (16.24±1.34)%, 400 nmol/L: (18.76±3.45)%]; The expression of cleaved-PARP was significantly upregulated in the TM4 cells after incubation with triptolide (P<0.01); The expression levels of p-Akt/Akt and p-p70S6K/p70s6k were significantly increased compared with control group (P<0.01). No significant change was observed among the expression levels of p-mTOR/mTOR (P>0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#In vitro studies showed that triptolide could effectively suppress the proliferation and induce apoptosis of TM4 sertoli cells. The oxidative stress was upregulated after incubation with triptolide, which may be one of the mechanisms of cytotoxicity in TM4 cells. Treatment of triptolide led to activation of Akt and p70S6K, indicating that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway may be involved in response to oxidative stress in TM4 cells. The activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway was one of the molecular mechanisms involved in triptolide-mediated oxidative stress in TM4 cells. Our study provides insight into alleviating reproductive toxicity of triptolide in clinical and developing male contraceptive.

ABSTRACT
Listeria monocytogenes is a significant food-borne pathogen that is capable of causing severe listeriosis in both humans and animals.Traditional techniques such as culture-based approaches have good specificity and sensitivity,while they are time-consuming and tend to be tedious.Hence,we presented a simple and rapid molecular technique using multiple cross displacement amplification (MCDA) targeting L.monocytogenes-specific gene lmo0733 for sensitive and specific detection of the pathogen.L.monocytogenes-MCDA assay used a set of ten primers spanning ten distinct regions of target sequence and was carried out at a constant temperature 61 ℃ to evaluate the specificity,sensitivity and feasibility.A total of three methods were used to confirm MCDA products,including color change of Loopamp Fluorescent Detection Reagent,real-time measurement of turbidity and agarose gel electrophoresis.The limit of detection (LoD) of the MCDA was 10 fg DNA,which was 25-fold and 250-fold more sensitive than that of the LAMP and CPA assay for detecting L.monocytogenes DNA,respectively.The detection ability of MCDA method was identical to the culture-biotechnical method for 153 rat intestinal feces samples,and was better than LAMP,CPA and conventional PCR.The results in this study indicated that the MCDA assay could be used as a rapid,sensitive and effective tool for the detection of L.monocytogenes in the food industry,medical institutions and field.

Totally 39 new graduate nurses entry in 2015 who's IAS score were > 43 were as experimental group. The control group accepted routine standardized training. The experimental group received peer support, which consisted on conduct group intervention and twining intervention (6 months). IAS and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC) were used to investigate the nurses'social anxiety and resilienceat 3 months and 6 months after intervention. The scores were analyzed by using repeated ANVOA Results: Repeated measures analysis of variance of IAS showed that, there were significant differences on the IAS scores for interaction between measure time and group processing (P <0.001). The differences between the two groups in the main effects of interaction and time on the total score of CD-Rescan its three dimensions score were all statistically significant (Ps < 0.001). Separate analyses showed that at baseline, there was no significant difference between two groups in all variables (Ps >0.05). After 3 months and 6 months of intervention, the IAS scores were lower in the intervention group than in the control group (Ps <0.001), the CD-RISC total scores and the three dimensions scores were higher in the intervention group than in the control group (Ps <0.05). Conclusion: It suggests that the peer support system could improve the social anxiety and resilience of new graduate nurses.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of TCM injection. METHODS:Each 660 medical records were selected from 9 hospitals of Luzhou city before(Jan.-Mar. in 2015)and after(Jan.-Mar. in 2017)administrative intervention and pharmaceutical intervention(called"intervention"for short)according to random number tablet. The consumption sum,DDDs and B/A,utilization,per capita,cost of drug and TCM injection,rational and irrational use were compared before and after intervention. RESULTS:After intervention,total consumption sum and DDDs of 10 TCM injections were decreased in 7 hospitals compared to before intervention,but those of 2 hospitals were increased slightly. Before and after intervention,consumption sum of Xueshuangtong for injection took up the first place among 10 kinds of TCM injection. Top 5 injections in the list of DDDs were the same generally,i.e. Xuesaitong for injection,Xueshuangtong for injection,Shenmai injection,Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection and Safflower yellow for injection.10 kinds of TCM injections with B/A>1 included Xuesaitong for injection, Salviae miltiorrhizae and ligustrazine hydrochloride injection,Safflower yellow for injection and Gastrodin injection. After intervention,utilization rate of 10 TCM injections(24.70%)was significantly lower than before intervention(32.42%),rational rate of TCM injection(61.35%)was significantly higher than before intervention(41.59%),with statistical significance(P<0.01). After intervention,the per capita cost of TCM injection,the incidence of function inconsistency,excessive dose,irrational solvent selection,insufficient solvent amount and non-individual injection were significantly lower than before intervention,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in per capita cost of drug,the irrational utilization rate of repeated medication or excessive long treatment course before and after intervention(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The administrative intervention combined with pharmaceutical intervention promote more safe,rational and economical use of TCM injection.
