AIM: To establish the quality standard for Jinqiaomai Tablets ( Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma). METHODS: Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma was identified by TLC. The contents of (-)-epicatechin and procyanidin B2 were determined simultaneously by HPLC,the Symmetry C18 column (5 ?m,3. 9 mm id ? 150 mm) was used. The water (adjust pH value to 3. 00 ? 0. 02 with phosphoric acid)-acetonitrile (92 ∶ 8) was used as a mobile phase,the detecting wavelength was at 280 nm. The column temperature was at 35 ℃. RESULTS: Fagopyri Dibotryis Rhizoma could be identified. The calibration curve of (-)-epicatechin was linear in the range of 0. 113 6-2. 272 ?g with the correlation of 0. 999 968 (n = 8). The average recovery of (-)-epicatechin was 97. 12% ,RSD = 0. 92% (n = 6). The calibration curve of procyanidin B2 was linear in the range of 0. 166 4-1. 664 ?g with the correlation of 0. 999 702(n = 8). The average recovery of procyanidin B2 was 98. 26% ,RSD = 0. 61% (n = 6). CONCLUSION: The method is specific,reliable and accurate,so it can be used for the quality control of Jinqiaomai Tablets.

Objective:To investigate the effects of one-lung ventilation with a laryngeal mask airway combined with a bronchial blocker on respiratory function in older adult patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery.Methods:Sixty older adult patients who underwent thoracoscopic surgery in Zhejiang Veteran Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020 were included in this study. They were randomly divided into a single group (a simple bronchial blocker) and a combined group (a bronchial blocker combined with a laryngeal mask airway), with 30 patients in each group. Awakening (time to extubation, spontaneous respiration and eye opening), respiratory function [peripheral oxygen saturation, vital capacity, maximum voluntary ventilation measured before and 3 days after surgery], hemodynamics [heart rate and mean arterial pressure were recorded before (T 1) and immediately after placement of a bronchial blocker or a laryngeal mask (T 2) and at the time of removal of a bronchial block or a laryngeal mask (T 3)], and adverse events (hoarseness, throat pain, dysphagia and choking) were recorded. Results:Time to extubation, time to spontaneous respiration, and time to eye opening in the combined group were (5.62 ± 1.23) minutes, (6.85 ± 1.34) minutes, and (7.34 ± 1.52) minutes, respectively, which were significantly shorter than (8.62 ± 1.55) minutes, (10.25 ± 1.78) minutes, (11.38 ± 1.85) minutes in the single group ( t = 9.94, 10.00, 11.06, all P < 0.05). At 3 days after surgery, peripheral oxygen saturation, vital capacity, and maximum voluntary ventilation in the combined group were (98.23 ± 1.05)%, (2.18 ± 0.60) L, (54.23 ± 5.36) L, respectively, which were significantly higher than (96.23 ± 1.01)%, (1.82 ± 0.50) L, (48.12 ± 4.23) L in the single group ( t = 7.51, 2.52, 4.90, all P < 0.05). Mean arterial pressure measured at T 3 was significantly lower in the combined group than that in the single group [(98.25 ± 2.32) mmHg vs. (93.35 ± 2.48) mmHg, t = 7.90, P < 0.05]. The incidences of hoarseness, throat pain and choking in the combined group were 6.66% (2/30), 10.00% (3/30), 6.66% (2/30), respectively , which were significantly lower than 33.33% (10/30), 43.33% (13/30), 43.33% (13/30) in the single group (χ 2 = 6.66, 8.52, 10.75, all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of dysphagia between the two groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusion:Use of a laryngeal mask airway combined with a bronchial blocker during thoracoscopic surgery in older adult patients facilitates postoperative recovery, has little impact on hemodynamics, and is highly safe.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.
