AIM: To get the IR spectrums of the different extracted parts of chrysanthemum, and to find out the characters of IR spectrums. METHODS: To use Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. RESULTS: The FTIR spectrums of the different extracted parts of chrysanthemum had their obvious IR characters. CONCLUSION: IR spectroscopy can give us the digital descriptions of TCM, so it is a new and scientific analytical method to discriminate TCM.

AIM: To get the IR spectrums of chrysanthemums from the different producing areas,and to find out the characters of IR spectrums,and the data of IR spectroscopy of chrysanthemums from the different producing areas. METHODS: Using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. RESULTS: The FTIR spectrums、Second-order derivative spectrums、Two-dimensional spectrums of chrysanthemums from the different producing areas have their obvious IR characters. CONCLUSION: We can discriminate chrysanthemums from the different producing areas macroscopically and holistically by IR spectroscopy.IR spectroscopy can give us the digital descriptions of TCM,so it is a new analytical method to discriminate TCM.

BACKGROUND:Tripterygium wilfordi and its certain monomers have exact clinical effects on rheumatoid arthritis. However, there are few studies about a systematic discussion on pharmacodynamic material basis and molecular mechanism of Tripterygium wilfordi. OBJECTIVE:To explore the pharmacodynamic material basis and molecular mechanism ofTripterygium wilfordi in treating rheumatoid arthritis. METHODS: Based on the platform of Discovery Studio 4.0, the molecular set of Tripterygium wilfordiwas built and compared with the rheumatoid arthritis drug set from Therapeutic Target Database in chemical space. After that, network pharmacology was used to explore the interactions ofTripterygium wilfordi and therapeutic targets related to rheumatoid arthritis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The molecular sets ofTripterygium wilfordi and drugs for treating rheumatoid arthritis had similar chemical space. The pharmacodynamic material basis ofTripterygium wilfordi had 46 compounds, such as celacinnine, epigalocatechin, euonine, triptolide. They could mediate inflammation, regulate immune response, inhibit cartilage and bone destruction, improve blood stasis-type rheumatoid arthritis by acting on 10 targets, such as tumor necrosis factor-α, JAK-1, matrix metaloproteinase-1, matrix metaloproteinase-3, matrix metaloproteinase-9. Computer simulation could intuitively trace out the multi-ingredient, multi-target and multi-pathway effects of Tripterygium wilfordi.

This research analyzes and explores the elements of the industry education integration in the process of pharmacy talent training from two aspects: collaborative education (professional construction, curriculum co-construction, skill deepening and talent transfer) and collaborative innovation (base expansion, technological research and completion innovation). Besides, this research also explores the outstanding performance of School of Pharmacy of Xiamen Medical College in talent training of the industry education integration. The results show that through the construction of collaborative education and collaborative innovation, the elements of the industry education integration in the cultivation of pharmacy talents in the school have become increasingly prominent, and the forms have been gradually diversified, which have promotion and guiding significance for other majors in our school to develop the industry education integration.

Objective:To summarize the electrophysiological characteristics of neuronal intranuclear inclusion disease (NIID) and explore the value of electrophysiological examination in NIID auxiliary diagnosis.Methods:Twenty NIID patients diagnosed by pathological biopsy and genetic confirmation (15 were symptomatic, 5 were asymptomatic), admitted to Department of Neurology, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from February 2020 to June 2022 were chosen. Peripheral motor/sensory nerve conduction, needle electromyography, F wave, repetitive electrical stimulation, skin sympathetic reflex (SSR), and tremor were analyzed. Peripheral nerve conduction and SSR parameters were compared between 15 patients with symptomatic NIID (symptomatic NIID group) and 11 age- and gender-matched normal control subjects (control group).Results:(1) All 15 patients with symptomatic NIID were with abnormal electrophysiological findings: 14 patients had abnormal peripheral nerve conduction, including 14 with slowed motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV), 4 with reduced composite muscle action potential (cMAP) wave amplitude, 12 with slowed sensory nerve conduction velocity (SCV), and 3 with reduced sensory nerve action potential (sNAP) wave amplitude, and overall slowed nerve conduction velocity and relatively preserved wave amplitude were noted; 4 patients had neurogenic lesions by needle electromyography; 13 patients had prolonged F-wave latency at varied degrees; 12 showed abnormal SSR; 4 exhibited synchronous tremor from 4.0 to 7.5 Hz. (2) In 5 patients with asymptomatic NIID, 3 had abnormal peripheral nerve conduction, including 3 with slowed MCV, 2 with slowed SCV, and 1 with reduced sNAP wave amplitude; 3 showed abnormal SSR. (3) Significant differences in MCV and SCV, some cMAP and sNAP amplitudes, and SSR latency and amplitude were noted in nerves of the upper and lower extremities between the symptomatic NIID group and control group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Peripheral nerve damages are common in patients with NIID, especially myelin damage and autonomic nerve injury, and some patients may have electrophysiological abnormalities before clinical symptoms; therefore, peripheral nerve conduction and SSR can be recommended as auxiliary screening tools for NIID.
