ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effective substance of the choleretic effect of Gardeniae Fructus，and analyze the relationships between its choleretic effect and the HPLC fingerprint chromatogram. Method:HPLC method was applied to establish the fingerprint chromatography of 8 batches of Gardeniae Fructus at different harvest periods. The flow，the content of bile acid，bilirubin and cholesterol in bile were tested，and then the principal component analysis was used to comprehensively evaluate the total choleretic effects of Gardeniae Fructus. After the relationships between the relative peak area of the common peaks and the choleretic effects were explored using grey relationship analysis method，the spectrum-effect relationship of Gardeniae Fructus was established. Result:The order of the contribution of the chemical components to the choleretic effect at the common peaks was as follow（r>0.8）：P9>P14>P26>P4>P30>P6>P1>P10>P5>P24. Among all peaks，the full wavelength scanning results implied that the peaks 9，14 and 4 might be iridoids, and the peaks 26，30 and 24 might be crocins. By comparing with the standard substances，the peak 9 was finally identified as geniposide. Conclusion:The choleretic effect of Gardeniae Fructus may be the results of multiple components and pathways，and the main components in Gardeniae Fructus with the choleretic effect was from geniposide. In conclusion，these results provide a reference for investigating the material basis of choleretic effect of Gardeniae Fructus.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the expression of programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) in CD8+ T cells and FoxP3+CD4+ cells in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC).Methods The peripheral blood and clinical data of 69 PBC patients in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and 58 health controls (HC) were collected.They were divided into initial treatment group and follow-up group according to whether they were treated or not.Patients in the treatment group were further divided into the refractory group and stable group according to treatment response.Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of PD-1 in CDS+T cells and FoxP3+CD4+ cells.T-test and Person correlation analysis were used for data analysis.Results The PD-1 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 69 PBC patients (12±9)％ was lower than that of HC (20±12)％ (t=-3.687,P＜0.01).The percentage of PD-1+ in FoxP3+ CD4+T cells was significantly increased in PBC (5.6±3.7)％ than HC (7.4±2.4)％ (t=2.048,P＜0.01).The proportion of CD8+T cells,PD-1 expression in CD8+T cells and the proportion of FoxP3+CD4+ cells weren't correlated with clinical parameters (P＞0.05).There was a negative correlation between the expression of PD-1 cells in FoxP3+CD4+ cells and GLOBE score (r=-0.307,P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of PD-1 in peripheral CD8+T lymphocytes of PBC patients is lower than that of HC,and decreases more significantly in the refractory group.The expression of PD-1 on FoxP3+CD4+T cells is higher than that in HC,and is negatively correlated with the prognostic GLOBE score.It suggests that PD-1/PD-L1 pathway participates in the immune mechanism of PBC.
ABSTRACT
Biofilm is a bacterial lifestyle ubiquitously in natural environments. Bacterial biofilm leads to drug resistance, a main reason why many infectious diseases are difficult to control. Due to the prominent points of biofilms implicated in infectious disease and the spread of multi-drug resistance, it is urgent to discover new antibacterial agents that can regulate biofilm formation and development. This review introduces chemical agents that could modulate bacterial biofilm formation and development.
ABSTRACT
A comprehensive review was conducted to evaluate characteristics of the innovative research fund in a military hospital during past five years.We created a special index system according to the features of this innovative research fund:short supporting period,less amount of funding,and strict limit to the pre-study with the combination of common Research Performance Indicators.We use this index system to evaluate all finished projects and scored their performance.Other factors,such as research area,age of researchers,and job title,were also combined to analyze the relationship between funded research performance and fund characteristics.We found that all projects with higher performance score in past 5 years were conducted by young researchers,while this meets our original intention that using this fund to support junior scientists.In addition,we also found that the process of project assessment was fire and scientific,and funding for key research disciplines provided high level research outcomes.
ABSTRACT
Objective Testing the CRP and PLT for patients with acute myocardium infarction(AMI) .Analysising the relation‐ship between AMI and CPR or PLT .Methods We chose 60 patients with AMI who treat in our hospital during 2012/11 and 2014/10 as an observation group .As the same time ,we also chose 60 healthy person as a comparison group .Testing the CRP and PLT of the two groups with the same method ,and then we compare and analysis the results .Results The observation group's concentration of CRP is (22 .13 ± 4 .71)mg/L ,level of PLT is (241 ± 33)× 109/L .The comparison group's concentration of CRP is(2 .74 ± 0 .49) mg/L ,level of PLT is(162 ± 26) × 109/L .The result of the observation group is obvious higher than the comparison group ,and the difference is significance(P<0 .05) .The observation group's positive rate of CRP is 73 .33% ,increase of PLT is 38 .33% .The comparison group's positive rate of CRP is 3 .33% ,increase of PLT is 5 .00% .The result of the observation group is obvious higher than the comparison group ,and the difference is significance(P<0 .05) .Conclusion To the clinical diagnosis of AMI ,testing the CRP concentration and the PLT level is useful to understand the patient's host defenses and inflammation condition .It has clinical value to AM I's prevent ,diagnosis and prognosis .

ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the relationship of height,weight and body mass index with fists size among adults,and to compare the regression coefficient of different models.Methods Adults aged 20 -80 years were selected by stratified cluster sampling methods.T -test and univariate analysis of variance were used to compare the height,weight and fists size stratified by gender and BMI group.Regression model for fists volume was established.The regression coefficients were compared through covariance interaction analysis.Results The height,weight,BMI and fists size of male were higher than that of female (P <0.01 ).The regression model for fists size(Y)of BMI(X)for male,female and total population were Y=1 67.603 +9.445X,Y =1 1 1 .1 83 +7.779X and Y =77.1 57 +1 1 .028X(R2 =0.324,0.322,0.271 ,P <0.05).Fists size of different BMI groups were related to their height (R2 =0.501 ,0.432,0.624,0.692,P <0.05),respectively, and their regression coefficients have no statistically differences (P =0.07).The fists sizes of different BMI groups were different(P <0.01 ).Fists size of overweight or obesity groups (365.641 ±68.51 4,365.641 ±68.51 4,respectively)were larger than that of the normal and slim groups(P <0.01 ),and fists size of normal body (31 4.261 ±59.590)was larger than that of slim body(261 .081 ±59.478).Conclusion The fists sizes of male were higher than that of female.Fists size was positively related to their BMI.The height had the some impact on fists size among people in different BMI groups.
