Objective: To determine the transdermal absorption of phloretin and ligustilide in Fufang phloretin cream.Methods: In vitro percutaneous absorption test using the Franz intelligent transdermal absorption apparatus was adopted, an HPLC method was used to determine the contents of phloretin and ligustilide in the accepting solution at different time points, and then the cumulative release amount and the total penetration amount were calculated to evaluate the percutaneous absorption behavior.Results: Phloretin and ligustilide showed a good linearity within the range of 0.044 2-4.42 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9) and 0.048 7-4.87 μg·ml-1(r=0.999 9), respectively, the average recovery was 99.85% and 99.92%, and RSD was 0.67% and 0.66% (n=9), respectively.The in vitro permeation behavior of phloretin and ligustilide through the skin of rats fit Higuchi equations(r>0.9), suggesting a good linear correlation between the cumulatine penetration amount (Qn) and (time).Conclusion: Fufang phloretin cream has a good percutaneous permeation property in vitro.

Objective: To evaluate the applications and problems of statistical methods for articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》. Methods: We reviewed the statistical methods for original articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》in 2010, 2011 and 2015; general status with problems was analyzed and the situations were compared among different years. Results: A total of 404 articles were enrolled, statistical hypothesis testing was performed in 366 of them, 32 had descriptive statistics only and 6 articles were meta-analysis. The most frequently used statistical methods were student'st-test (57.4%), followed by chi-squared analysis (56.7%), analysis of variance (35.2%) and regression analysis (23.0%). The main statistical problems in Methods included in described method un-matched to really used method and insufifcient or wrong description. The proportion of insufifcient or wrong description in 2010 and 2011 was 36.6% (71/194), while in 2015 was 26.2% (55/210),P=0.02. The major wrong application of statistical approach was ignoring design with improper method and using unsatisifed precondition for speciifc analysis. The proportion of improper statistical method application in 2010 and 2011 was 19.1% (33/173), in 2015 was 19.7% (38/193),P=0.88. Conclusion: The quality of statistics was improved in 2015 than 2010 and 2011 for articles published in《Chinese Circulation Journal》; while there were still problems at certain degree, enhanced statistical review should be conducted in medical journals.

Objective To explore the effect of the combination of video feedback and telephone intervention on postdischarge rehabilitation in patients receiving artificial total hip replacement.Methods A total of 60 patients receiving artificial total hip replacement were divided into intervention group and control group with 30 cases each by random digits table method.The combination of video feedback and telephone intervention was conducted in intervention group,and conventional discharge guidance and telephone follow-up on a regular basis in control group.In intervention group,the patients or their family member were asked to record the video of the exercises and daily living when patients were at home according instructions and researchers assessed the condition of patient's joint and muscle function and provided individual education and instructions to the patients on the basis of the feedback video through telephone.Harris hip function rating scale and Functional Independence Measure (FIM) were investigated at discharge and 1,3,6 months after discharge.Results There were no significant differences in Harris hip function rating scale and FIM score at discharge between 2 groups,P＞0.05.Harris hip function rating scale score were (72.70± 11.65),(83.11±5.12),(94.83±3.08) scores at 1,3,6 months after discharge in intervention group,and (63.20±14.96),(77.00±11.62),(87.50±7.94) scores in control group,there were significant differences,P＜0.05 or ＜0.01.FIM score were (96.30±4.63),(108.76±3.28),(125.79±1.19) scores at 1,3,6 months after discharge in intervention group,and (78.23±5.09),(86.43±6.30),(96.54±5.35) scores in control group,there were significant differences,P＜0.01.Conclusion The combination of video feedback and telephone intervention could help to promote the postdischarge hip function for patients receiving artificial total hip replacement.

Retrospective analysis of multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) manifestations were conducted for 8 cases of pathologically confirmed primary pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma.And the relevant literature was also reviewed.The lesion sites were right upper lobe (n =5),lower lobe (n =2) and left upper lobe (n =1).One case was difficult to distinguish because of its huge mass and the remainder was all peripheral.With pseudocapsule (n =4),coarse calcification (n =1),hilar & mediastinal node metastasis (n =2) and cavity (n =1).The manifestations included extensive lung alveolar septal thickening & ground glass (n =1) and massive deep leaf & glitches (n =2).The scans were non-enhanced alone (n =1) and non-enhanced & enhanced (n =7).Six cases had shaped enhancement while another 5 uneven thickness of annular enhancement.And 4 cases had floating-ice change.Primary pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma is common in subpleural lung lobe.And the floating-ice sign is valuable in the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma.

Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) are the highest proportion of liver non-parenchymal cells with fenestrae structure and high endocytic ability maintaining liver homeostasis and playing an indispensable role in the physiology and patholo-gy of the liver.LSECs are involved in the regulation of patholog-ical process in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),alco-holic fatty liver(AFL),hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC),liverregeneration and liver fibrosis mainly via antiinflammation,endocytosis,secretion of angiocrine signals and maintaining thequiescence phenotype of HSCs.This review highlights the physiological function of LSECs and the different roles in different pathological conditions,which aims to provide a new perspectivefor the treatment of liver diseases through targeting LSECs.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of apoptosis of B cells in the peripheral blood of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods The proportions of B cells in the peripheral blood (PB) of 51 active and 30 remission patients with RA and 80 healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry.B cells in the PB of 10 active,10 remission and 10 healthy individuals were isolated by MACS.The apoptosis of cultured B cells,which were collected at 24,48,72,96 h respectively,were assessed by flow cytometry.ANOVA,t test and,Spearman correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis.Results The proportions of B cells marked as CD19 and CD22 in the PB of active and remission patients with RA and healthy controls were (26±11)％,(12±8)％,(10±7)％,(26±10)％,(12±8)％,(11±5)％ respectively.The proportions of B cells in the PB of active patients was significantly higher than that of remission patients and healthy controls (P＜0.01).There was positive correlation between B cell proportion in the PB of active patients and DAS 28 and IgG level.The proportion of apoptosis of B cells in the PB with active patients was less than healthy controls.Conclusion The pathway of apoptosis of B cells in the PB of active patients is inhibited,which could increase B cell proportion.Moreover,the high proportion of B cells in the PB of active patients is closely related to disease activity.

BACKGROUND:Early rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can help the rapid functional recovery of knee,but some patients are fear of moving and refuse to do exercising because of kinesiophobia,thereby delaying functional recovery.Foreign study has confirmed that patients with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can effectively alleviate kinesiophobia,but no related studies have been reported in China.OBJECTIVE:To explore the effectiveness of CBT on patients with kinesiophobia after TKA.METHODS:108 patients with kinesiophobia after TKA were recruited from Department of Orthopedics,the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,China between March 2014 and January 2015,and were then equivalently randomized into experimental and control groups using random number table.Both groups were subjected to conventional treatment,while the experimental group received extra CBT.The scores of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and American Knee Society were evaluated immediately,1,3,and 6 months after hospital discharge;the hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenditure were compared between two groups immediately after discharge.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The scores of Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group at different time points postoperatively (P ＜ 0.05).The scores of American Knee Society in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group at 3 and 6 months after discharge and kept on rising (P ＜ 0.01),but showed no significant difference at discharge and 1 month after discharge (P ＞ 0.05).(2) The hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenditure in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.01).(3) To conclude,CBT cannot only shorten the hospitalization time and total hospitalization expenditure,but also relieve kinesiophobia,which is conductive for functional recovery of the knee.

Objective Currently, there are few articles about kinesiophobia in patients with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in China.This study aims to investigate the incidence of kinesiophobia and its influencing factors in TKA patient, and provide evidence for the intervention of kinesiophobia.Methods A total of 298 TKA patients from our hospital were investigated by general information questionnaire, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK), Knee Self-Efficacy Scales, Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire and Social Support Rating Scale.Single-factor analysis and logistic regression analysis were conducted to explore influencing factors.Results The score of TSK was 38.50±13.52, and 31.88% of TKA patients reported kinesiophobia.Logistic regression analysis showed that duration of pain (OR=5.546, 95%CI: 2.143-14.353), education level (OR=0.145, 95%CI: 0.067-0.314), self efficacy(OR=0.606, 95%CI: 0.470-0.780), positive response (OR=0.784, 95%CI: 0.683-0.900), objective support (OR=0.807, 95%CI: 0.691-0.943) and utilization of social support (OR=0.507, 95%CI: 0.461-0.705) were factors influencing kinesiophobia in TKA patients.Conclusion Attention should be paid to the kinesiophobia in TKA patients, especially those influencing factors including duration of pain, education level, and objective support.Health care providers should encourage early stage rehabilitation exercise to improve the postoperative knee function of TKA patients.
