Objective To analyze the effects of minimally invasive intenvention on acute suppurative cholangitis(ASC).Methods The clinical data of 28 patients with ASC and performed with endoscopic therapy were analyzed.Results 5 patients with a single stone incarcerated in the duodenal nipple were performed with ERCP and needle electrode fenestration to removed the stone.6 patients with a single stone were performed with endoscopic sphineterotomy(EST).15 patients are successfully performed with ERCP+EST after cholangitis and general situation turned better.2 patients failed with endoscopic therapy,and they were recovered treated with conventional surgery.Conclusion Minimally invasive intenvention on ASC has characteristics of quick,minimally invasive surgery,high success rate,rapid recover,and fewer complications.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical features of Chinese dysgraphia and then probe into its mechanisms in a patient with semantic dementia(SD).MethodsThe patient with SD finished the writing part of the Aphasia Battery of Chinese (Aphasia Battery of Chinese,ABC) and the Chinese agraphia battery (Chinese agraphia battery,CAB ) in addition to a series of other neuropsychological tests.Results( 1 ) On the Wechsler Adult intelligence scale,the patient performed poorly on information and vocabulary with scores of 6/29 and 8/80,respectively.He spoke out only 11 names totally on the category fluency test within 1 minute,while 25 names or more than were normal.Semantic features test showed he made 37 right answers of 60 questions,with scores of 8/20 on category,7/20 on function and 8/20 on nature features.(2)The writing disorder exhibited Chinese aphasia agraphia with obvious difficulty in forming characters,wrong characters of the same pronunciation or the same form or unrelated errors,and grammatical impairments.Its damage from serious to light occurred in picture writing( 6/40),writing sentences to convey meaning(1/10),dictation(11/40) and automatic writing(35/40).The transcription was relatively preserved (40/40 ). (3)He scored 20 and 19 points on MMSE and MoCA.Executive function was damaged significantly,while recent memory was preserved relatively.ConclusionThe patient with SD shows an impoverished store of general knowledge and poor comprehension of single-word.The nature of SD's dysgraphia presents Chinese aphasia agraphia,undoubtedly due to progressive deterioration in semantic memory.More importantly,its error types and distribution show apparent discrepancy from that of alphabetic script.Presumably because Chinese writing system is logographic in nature and the pathway of comprehension concerning syllable-orthography-morphemes mapping,while alphabetic writing system follows a principle of mapping graphemes on-to phonemes and letters themselves dont stand for any meaning.

n-Octanol/ water partition coefficients (Kow ) is an important parameter commonly used to explain toxicity, activity and transmembrane of drugs. However, it is difficult to be detected by direct experimental determination. In this work, a set of 29 neutral and acidic analogues of naphthalene and anthraquinone with reliable experimental Kow data was chosen as model compounds for establishing linear relationship between the logarithm of apparent n-octanol/ water partition coefficient (lgKow), and the logarithm of reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) retention factor of the solutes corresponding to neat aqueous fraction of mobile phase (lgkw ) as the quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) model. Methanol-water mixture was used as mobile phase at various pH, and retention time (tR ) was rectified by a dual-point retention time correction (DP-RTC) in this method. The experiment results indicated that the proposed QSRR model had good correlation coefficient R2 = 0. 974 -0. 976 with satisfactory results of internal and external validation (the cross-validated correlation coefficient R2cv of 0. 970-0. 973, and 1. 4% ≤relative error (RE)≤7. 9% for all the 6 verification compounds). In addition, this QSRR model was compared with linear solvation energy relationship ( LSER) involved in different descriptors of molecular structure, showing no differences. The QSRR model was applied to measure Kow of 11 naphthalenes and anthraquinones, and the predicted data were compared with Shake-flask method (SFM) experimental ones, as well as calculated ones obtained by software. The results suggested that the proposed method for Kow determination in this work was more accurate, simple and fast. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on measuring Kow data for these compounds. The proposed strategy provides the possibility in determining Kow of lipophilic components in complex mixture more quickly and accurately by RP-HPLC.

In this study, daphnetin and its major metabolites in the intestinal wall of rats were identified by liquid chromatography and quatrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. Perfusion fluid of duodenum, jejunum, ileum and colon were collected separately for 2 hours from the rat intestine following perfusion with daphnetin. The metabolites of daphnetin in the perfusion fluid of different intestine segments were analyzed by the liquid chromatography and quatrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry. It is shown that the parent drug daphnetin and four metabolites were found in the perfusion fluid of duodenum, jejunum and ileum. However, no metabolites were found in the colon. Among the four metabolites, two daphnetin sulfates (m/z 257) were first discovered as the phase II metabolites of daphnetin in rats, which revealed a new way of daphnetin metabolism in rats.

Objective: To identify Euryales Semen and its closely related species using the ITS2 barcode. Method:The total genomic DNAs were extracted from twenty samples of Euryales Semen and its closely related species. The ITS2 regions of the samples were amplified and bidirectional sequenced. Obtained sequences were submitted to the GenBank with Sequin 12.3. ITS2 sequences of 102 samples belonging to thirty species were downloaded from GenBank. The 122 ITS2 sequences were aligned and the genetic distances were analyzed with MEGA 5.1. Identification analyses were performed using BLAST1 and nearest distance methods, and were presented intuitively by constructing neighbor-joining (NJ) tree. Result: The length of ITS2 region of Euryales Semen was 214 bp, which was only one haplotype. There was significant divergence of the ITS2 regions among the samples. The NJ tree showed that Euryales Semen could be obviously differed from its closely related species, which had good 408 monophyly. Conclusion: ITS2 regions as a DNA barcode can stably and accurately distinguish Euryales Semen from its closely related species and also provide a new technique to ensure clinical safety in utilization of tradi-tional Chinese medicines. The new exploration could broaden the application of DNA barcoding technology in identification of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Objective:To explore the feasibility of deep learning-based restoration of obscured thyroid ultrasound images.Methods:A total of 358 images of thyroid nodules were retropectively collected from January 2020 to October 2021 at Sir Run Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and the images were randomly masked and restored using DeepFillv2. The difference in grey values between the images before and after restoration was compared, and 6 sonographers (2 chief physicians, 2 attending physicians, 2 residents) were invited to compare the rate of correctness of judgement and detection of image discrepancies. The ultrasound features of thyroid nodules (solid composition, microcalcifications, markedly hypoechoic, ill-defined or irregular margins, or extrathyroidal extensions, vertical orientation and comet-tail artifact) were extracted according to the Chinese Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (C-TIRADS). The consistency of ultrasound features of thyroid nodules before and after restoration were compared.Results:The mean squared error of the images before and after restoration ranged from 0.274 to 0.522, and there were significant differences in the rate of correctness of judgement and detection of image discrepancies between physicians of different groups(all P<0.001). The overall accuracy rate was 51.95%, the overall detection rate was 1.79%, there were significant differences also within the chief physicians and resident groups (all P<0.001). The agreement rate of all ultrasound features of the nodules before and after image restoration was higher than 70%, over 90% agreement rate for features such as solid composition and comet-tail artifact. Conclusions:The algorithm can effectively repair obscured thyroid ultrasound images while preserving image features, which is expected to expand the deep learning image database, and promote the development of deep learning in the field of ultrasound images.
