OBJECTIVE:To optimize the technics for the extraction of Qiangliyanhou mixture.METHODS:The physico-chemical properties of the compositions in the formula medicinal substances were analyzed,the obtained quantity of aqua aromatica was used as an investigation index of distillation technics;The preparation technics was optimized by orthogonal experiment in which the extraction ratio of the water extractives and the content of chlorogenic acid were used as the indexes to investigate the influence of the amount of water added,the soaking time before decoction,decoction time and times of decoc?tion on the extraction result.RESULTS:The optimized amount of aqua aromatica in the distillation procedures was collecting distillate that is3times the amount of the medicinal substances;The optimum water extraction condition was:the medicinal substances was soaked for2hours by adding15times amount of water before decocting for total3hours(3times?1hour/time).CONCLUSION:The preparation procedure is reasonable and reliable.

Objective: To examine the impact of laser-assisted hatching (LAH) technique on perinatal outcomes in blastocyst culture of low-grade cleavage embryos, so as to provide insights into improving the utilization of low-grade cleavage embryos and embryo quality. Methods: A total of 369 single live births after transfer of thawed blastocysts following in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection at Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital were selected as subjects, and they were divided into 51 conventional culture blastocysts and 318 LAH blastocysts based on whether LAH was performed on day 4 of blastocyst culture. Gestational age, birth weight, birth defects and maternal perinatal information were collected, and the prevalence of premature birth, birth weight and birth defects were analyzed after propensity score matching (PSM). Results: After PSM, 98 matched cases were included in the study. There were no statistically significant differences in maternal age, body mass index, type of infertility and blastocyst age (P>0.05), indicating effective matching. The birth weight of offspring in the LAH group was lower than that in the conventional culture group [(3 261.08±432.24) g vs. (3 464.18±444.46) g; P<0.05]. Conclusion The birth weight of offspring can be reduced by using LAH during blastocyst culture of low-grade cleavage embryos.

Objective To analyze the expression characteristics of chemotherapeutic related genes (ERCC1 ,BRCA1 ,APE1 , RRM1 ,TUBB3 and TS) in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and their associations with the pathological types to provide the ex-perimental evidences for clinical individual chemotherapy .Methods The immunohistochemical SP method was used to determine the expression of ERCC1 ,BRCA1 ,APE1 ,RRM1 ,TUBB3 and TS genes in 733 patients with NSCLC .Chi-square test was performed to analyze the gene expression characteristics among different pathological types .Spearman relationship was conducted to evaluate the associations among the six genes and different pathological types .Results The expression of BRCA1 ,TUBB3 and TS had sta-tistical differences among three pathological types (P<0 .01);and these three genes showed a relationship with the pathological type (r=0 .107 ,-0 .229 and 0 .168 ,respectively ,P<0 .01) .ERCC1 vs .BRCA1 ,ERCC1 vs .APE1 and APE1 vs .RRM1 showed the pos-itive correlation(r=0 .214 ,0 .316 and 0 .222 ,respectively ,P<0 .01) .Conclusion The chemotherapeutic related gene expressions of NSCLC are related with the clinical pathological types .And the expressions of multiple markers are associated with each other .The combined detection of the chemotherapeutic related markers and the pathological types would be helpful to the decision making of individual chemotherapy in clinic .

Objective It is important to precisely determinate the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in many genes in‐cluding genes related with base excision repair (BER) pathway .This research is conducted to evaluate the role of polymerase chain reaction with confronting two‐pair primers (PCR‐CTPP) in analyzing the SNPs of BER pathway .Methods Four common SNPs of BER pathway (OGG1 Ser326Cys ,XRCC1 Arg399Gln ,APE1 Asp148Glu and‐141T/G in the promoter region) was detected with PCR‐CTPP .10 of the products were sent for genotype sequencing .Compare the results of PCR and sequencing to evaluate the accu‐racy of PCR‐CTPP .Results The genotypes were exactly the same as the sequencing .Conclusion The PCR‐CTPP was a reliable and rapid detective technology for SNPs genotyping .Its broadest application would be great help for gene variant analysis .

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical characteristics and therapy of fresh cervical spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) in children.MethodsThe materials of fourteen SCIWORA children (13 cases treated with non operative menthod, 1 case treated by atlantoocciptal fusion) were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsOne child was dead, and the other 13 cases had a 3-year follow up. Three children's symptoms had no change. According to ASIA criterion, there were 3 cases with grade A, 5 cases with grade B, 5 cases with grade C and 1 case with grade D before treatment. After treatment, there were 1 case recovered to grade B, 2 cases recovered to grade C, 5 cases recovered to grade D, 2 cases recovered to grade E.ConclusionSpinal cord injury caused by a short time dislocation of cervical vertebrae is the main reason of SCIWORA in children. The degree of the injury of spinal cord is related directly with the recovery of function of nervous system. Most patients can get satisfactory results by non operative methods. Operations are useful to the cases with obvious instability of cervical spine.

Background: Despite strengthened efforts on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention and control, new HIV infections continue to increase among men who have sex with men (MSM) in China. Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a highly effective HIV-prevention tool, has recently been included in China's Action Plan of HIV Prevention and Control. To promote future PrEP implementation, this study aims to identify the barriers and facilitators in PrEP use intention among MSM in China.Methods: In 2018, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 300 MSM in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. Questions on demographics, sexual behavior (including a seven-item high-risk behavior index), PrEP use intention, PrEP-related awareness and accessibility, and a seven-item public HIV stigma scale were included in the questionnaire. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with PrEP use intention. Results: Overall, 44.67％ of the participants had more than two male sexual partners and 5.56％ had HIV-positive sexual partners. Only 57.00％ had heard of PrEP and only four (1.33％) participants had used PrEP. However, 75.34％ expressed the willingness to use oral PrEP if its efficacy was assured. The beliefs that "PrEP can prevent HIV if taken as prescribed" (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 4.84, P < 0.001) and "PrEP can be scaled up in the community" (AOR = 3.24, P < 0.001) were positively associated with oral PrEP use intention. Concerns of side effects were negatively associated with oral PrEP use intention (AOR = 0.32, P = 0.006). Further, 77.00％ of the participants would choose injectable or implanted PrEP instead of oral PrEP. One of the PrEP stigma items, "Not certain if doctors can prescribe PrEP if I go to the clinic" was positively associated with the intention to use injectable or implanted PrEP (AOR = 3.03). The items "Heard of PrEP" (AOR = 2.74) and "PrEP can prevent HIV if taken as prescribed" (AOR = 2.65) were also positively related to the intention to use injectable or implanted PrEP. The most common concerns regarding PrEP use were efficacy (44.67％) and side effects (38.67％). The most common reasons for using injectable and implanted PrEP were adherence (81.94％ and 77.86％, respectively) and privacy concerns (56.48％ and 55.00％, respectively). Affordable price and coverage by health insurance were the driving factors for PrEP use. Conclusion: Given the low level of awareness of PrEP-related information in China, it's necessary to provide interventions for high-risk individuals and communities, in order to increase their awareness and knowledge of PrEP. Furthermore, additional alternatives to HIV prevention, such as long-acting injectable or implanted PrEP, should be investigated to reduce the risk of HIV infection in at-risk MSM. Even if this programme could be approved by the National Medical Products Administration of China and implemented, a supportive social environment for MSM is essential during its implementing.
