Acupuncture compound anesthesia for traditional thyroidectomy:a systematic review and meta-analysis / 针灸推拿医学（英文版）

Objective:To assess the efficacy and safety of acupuncture compound anesthesia(ACA)for traditional thyroidectomy. Methods:Randomized controlled trials(RCTs)studying the use of ACA for traditional thyroidectomy were retrieved from PubMed,Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Chongqing VIP Database(CQVIP),Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database(Wanfang),and China Biology Medicine Disc(CBM)from inception to September 30,2021.Two investigators independently extracted data and assessed the risk of bias and quality of the studies.Anesthesia effectiveness was the primary outcome,while the secondary outcomes included various pain scales,vital signs,analgesic consumption,and adverse events.Review Manager 5.3 was used for meta-analysis.Weighted mean difference(WMD),standardized mean difference(SMD),and confidence interval(CI)were used for statistical descriptions. Results:A total of 16 papers were included,involving 1228 patients.Meta-analysis showed that anesthesia effectiveness was significantly improved after adding acupuncture as an adjunct[SMD=0.62,95%CI(0.40,0.83),P<0.0001,I2=36%].Besides,ACA can also moderate vital signs and reduce the feeling of pain[SMD=-1.61,95%CI(-2.61,-0.61),P<0.00001,I2=95%],analgesic consumption,and adverse events.Subgroup analysis of the electroacupuncture(EA)group further revealed that the effectiveness of low-frequency EA[WMD=0.43,95%CI(0.30,0.55),P<0.00001,I2=15%]and the entire operative stimulation of EA[WMD=0.55,95%CI(0.33,0.77),P<0.00001,I2=0%]was significantly better than high-frequency EA and short-time stimulation of EA during the operation.Further,no significant difference existed between conventional analgesia and acupuncture analgesia. Conclusion:ACA is beneficial to traditional thyroidectomy regarding efficacy and safety when acupuncture is applied as an adjunct.However,additional high-quality studies with larger sample sizes are needed to verify the findings.

Separation and Identification of Chemical Components in Ethyl Acetate Fraction and Water Fraction from Tripterygium wilfordii / 中国药房

OBJECTIVE： To separate and identify chemical components in ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction from Tripterygium wilfordii， and to provider basis for further pharmacological study. METHODS： The ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction from T. wilfordii were separated and purified by MCI GEL-CHP 20P column chromatography， C18 RP silica gel column chromatography， Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography and HPLC. The structures of compounds were analyzed and identified by 1H-NMR， 13C-NMR and physicochemical properties. RESULTS： Two compounds were isolated from ethyl acetate fraction of T. wilfordii， namely orthosphenic acid （compound 1）， dibutylphthalate （compound 2）. Eight glucosides were isolated from water extract of T. wilfordii， namely 2，6-dimethoxy-4-hydroxymethyl-phenyl-1-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside （compound 3）， 2，6-dimethoxy-4-hydroxyphenol-1-O-β-D-glucoside（compound 4）， 4-hydroxy-1-（2-hydroxyethyl）-phenyl-3-O-β-D-glucopyranoside （compound 5）， 3，4-dimethoxy-phenyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside （compound 6），β-adenosine （compound 7）， ligustrin （compound 8）， epicatechin-8-C-β-D-galactoside （compound 9） and 2-hydroxynaringenin-7-O-β-glucoside （compound 10）. CONCLUSIONS： Chemical components of ethyl acetate fraction and water fraction are separated and identified from T. wilfordii.

Chemical constituents from the rhizomas of Smilax glauco-china / 中成药

AIM To study the chemical constituents from the rhizomas of Smilax glauco-china Warb.METHODS The n-butanol fraction of ethanol extract of S.glauco-china was isolated and purified by silica,Sephadex LH-20 and semi-preparative column,then the structures of obtained compounds were identified by physicochemical properties and spectral data.RESULTS Ten compounds were isolated and identified as phenethanol-β-D-gentiobioside (1),2-phenylethyl-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-(1 →6)-β-D-glucopyranoside (2),phenylethyl D-rutinoside (3),phenylethyl β-D-glucoside (4),hydrangeifolin Ⅰ (5),icariside D1 (6),calophymembranside B (7),2-hydroxyphenol-1-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(6 → 1)-α-L-rhamnopyranoside (8),β-sitosterol (9),daucosterol (10).CONCLUSION All the compounds are isolated from this plant for the first time.

One new galloyl glycoside from fresh leaves of Psidium guajava L / 药学学报

To investigate the chemical constituents of Psidium Guajava L, the EtOH/H2O extract of the fresh leaves was subjected to various chromatography. Five constituents with galloyl moiety were isolated and elucidated as 1-O-(1, 2-propanediol)-6-O-galloyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (1), gallic acid (2), ellagic acid (3), ellagic acid-4-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4) and quercetin-3-O-(6"-galloyl) beta-D-galactopyranoside (5) by spectroscopic methods, including 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS spectrometry as well as by comparison with published data. Compounds 4 and 5 were obtained from P. guajava for the first time, and compound 1 is a new polyhydroxyl compound.
