Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most popular diseases in obstetrics and gynecology research at internal and abroad at present, traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the clinical treatment of the disease have the advantage. Clinical epidemiological study of descriptive research method this research adopts investigation, observation of TCM syndromes and improper diet through 401 cases in Jiangsu Province confirmed PCOS patients, to explore the relationship between TCM syndrome type distribution and improper diet factors, and to provide the clinical basis for further etiology of this disease research. TCM syndrome type distribution of the disease is kidney deficiency, phlegm stagnation syndrome, qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome, syndrome of dampness heat of liver channel and is composed of 4 basic syndromes and formed complex syndrome, and the composite and syndrome type (60.85%); combined with the analysis of traditional Chinese medicine dialectical, Pure empirical syndrome this disease (46.88%), followed by the actual card (45.39%), pure deficiency is rare. Improper diet factors associated with the disease, in which improper diet with different TCM syndrome type distribution significantly related. Stagnation of phlegm dampness syndrome is the main syndrome of the disease type, improper diet factors and every syndrome PCOS type distribution is as follows: the partial eclipse fatness greasy with basic syndromes of phlegm dampness stagnation of kidney deficiency syndrome, the nephrasthenia syndrome is less; eating spicy stimulation by basic syndromes of stagnation of Qi and blood stasis; eating cold people the basic certificate type of qi stagnation and blood stasis; The diet of patients are more prone to stagnation of phlegm dampness syndrome.

Objective To synthesize 628F-Py-AMD3465,to investigate its biodistribution in mice and to perform the microPET/CT imaging on mice bearing human lung cancer cell (A549).Methods AMD3465 quaternary ammonium salt precursor was directly labeled with 18F,then 628F-Py-AMD3465 was synthesized through nucleophilic reaction,hydrolysis,neutralization and the product was purified using HPLC.The labeling yield and radiochemical purity were analyzed by HPLC.Fifteen Kunming mice were injected with 5.55 MBq of 628F-Py-AMD3465 and sacrificed at 5,20,40,60 and 120 min postinjection.The selected tissues were harvested and weighed,and the radioactivity in the tissues was measured by an automated γ-spectrometer.The ％ID/g was calculated.MicroPET/CT studies were performed on A549-bearing mice after injecting 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 through vena caudal.Paired t test was used.Results 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 was successfully synthesized with the labeling yield of (9.0±2.0)％,the total synthesis time was about 60 min,and the radiochemical purity was more than 98％.Biodistribution studies showed that the radiouptake was higher in the kidneys and bladder of normal mice,which demonstrated that 6-18 F-Py-AMD3465 was mainly excreted through the kidneys.Biodistribution in A549-bearing mice was similar to that in normal mice.The tumor/muscle ratio at 40 min was 5.0,but the radiouptake of the tumor was still lower than that of the normal lung:(8.05±0.35) ％ID/g vs (9.33±0.66) ％ID/g;t=5.26,P＜0.05.MicroPET/CT imaging showed that the high-uptake location of 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 in tumor-bearing mice was similar to the normal mice,and the tumor uptake reached the maximum level at 45 min post-injection (SUV 0.67).Conclusions 6-18F-Py-AMD3465 can be synthesized by a simple method.A lower uptake could be shown in the tumor compared to that in the lung and the tracer has limited diagnostic value for lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the application of low-dose adaptive sequence scan of dual-source CT in coronary angiography of patients with arrhythmia, and evaluate its diagnostic accuracy. Methods One hundred and thirty-four patients with arrhythmia undergoing dual-source CT coronary angiography (CTA) were divided into 2 groups according to the scan mode: patients in group A underwent retrospective ECG-gating helical scanning (n=78); patients in group B received adaptive sequence scanning (n=56). The sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values of dual-source CTA were determined by using conventional coronary angiography as the reference standard. The significance of difference between the two groups was analyzed, and the respective radiation dose was also compared. Results The overall sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values was 97.0%, 98.5%, 87.4% and 99.7%, respectively in group A, and 97.0%, 98.8%, 88.9% and 99.7%, respectively, in group B. No statistical difference was found between two groups (P>0.05). The average effective radiation dose was 12.0±3.6mSv in group A, which was significantly higher than that in group B (3.1±0.7mSv, Z=-9.826, P=0.00). Conclusion Adaptive sequence scan combined with the absolute phase reconstruction in dual-source CT coronary angiography is feasible in patients with arrhythmia in providing good image quality and diagnostic accuracy at a low effective radiation dose.

Objective Traditional identification methods of pharmacognosy is difficult to distinguish the seeds of Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius. In order to improve the efficacy and accuracy of identification and provide the scientific foundation for the establishment of Chinese herbal medicine seed quality standards, molecular identification methods of the seeds were established by DNA barcoding technology. Methods The pharmacognostical identification method was used to study the morphological identification and microscopic characters of different seeds. DNA barcodes and Chinese Pharmacopoeia species standard barcode database were employed to identify the seeds by ITS2 sequence comparison, genetic distance comparison and systematic NJ tree construction. Results Intraspecific genetic distances of individuals participating were smaller than interspecific genetic distances. Phylogenetic tree map showed that two species were repectively clustered into one. A total of 42 samples of seeds from Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius produced by nine areas were all top-quality and easy to distinguish. Conclusion ITS2 DNA barcodes can identify and differentiate the seeds of P. ginseng and P. quinquefolius germplasm resources quickly, accurately and efficiently.

Traditional Chinese medicine has multi-component, multi-target, and multi-path action characteristics and complexity, which makes the task of modernizing traditional Chinese medicine arduous, and many medical researchers have made unremitting efforts to this end. The development of systems biology and omics has ushered in an opportunity for the integration of traditional Chinese medicine and modern science. In particular, the characteristics integrity, dynamics, personalization, and interaction with the environment of epigenetics and metabolomics are consistent with function concept of traditional Chinese medicine. The application of popular DNA methylation, histone modifications, miRNA regulation of epigenetic research, and the application of metabolomics in the substance basis, quality control, pharmacodynamic action mechanism in traditional Chinese medicine research are reviewed in this paper. This paper also puts forward the idea that combining the two and innovative application can clarify the scientific connotation of the whole action mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine and the mechanism of multi-component, multi-channel, and multi-target synergistic action at the micro level, and explore a new research model for the scientific connotation of the core thought of traditional Chinese medicine.
