Objective To optimize an integration technique for extracting the liposoluble and water-soluble components of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Methods Salvianolic acid B and Tanshinone ⅡA were selected as marker components and determined by HPLC to optimize the integration extract process of Salvia miltiorrhiza by orthogonal test. Results The liposoluble and water-soluble active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza were efficiently extracted by the optimum integration technique. The integration technique for extracting was obtained:Salvia miltiorrhiza was added with 8 times alcohol of 70% and extracted 1 hour for 2 times. Conclusion The liposoluble and water-soluble active components of Salvia miltiorrhiza can be extracted simultaneously by the novel extraction process which was reasonable and feasible. This new technique can be employed to reduce time, working and energy, and be suitable for the morden production.

Objective To observe the long-term effects of maternal mild hyperglycemia on the growing development and glucose and lipid metabolism in intergenerational rat offspring.Methods Streptozotocin (25 mg/kg) was administered to 14 pregnant Wistar rats intraperitoneally on the first day of gestation to induce an animal model of mild intrauterine hyperglycemia,which was successful in nine rats.Seven pregnant rats without streptozotocin intervention served as controls.Female first-generation offspring (F1) rats were intercrossed with normal male rats to obtain the second-generation offspring (F2) rats.F1 and F2 rats were divided into 8 groups:female group (group F1-G-♀) or male group (group F1-G-♂) exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia;female group (group F1-C-♀) or male group (group F1-C-♂) exposed to intrauterine euglycemia;transgenerational female group (group F2-G-♀) or male group (group F2-G ♂)exposed to intrauterine hyperglycemia;and transgenerational female group (group F2-C-♀) or male group (group F2-C-♂) exposed to intrauterine euglycemia.Body weight of the offspring was recorded.At the age of 28 weeks,the weight of pancreas and visceral fat,fasting plasma glucose (FPG),fasting insulin,total triglyceride,total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol,low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were measured in all groups.Two sample t test was used for statistical analysis.Results (1) At 4,24 and 28 weeks old,the body weight of group F2-G-♀ [(177.3± 12.3),(314.5± 13.9) and (322.3± 16.2) g] was remarkably increased compared with group F2-C-♀ [(164.3±6.0),(290.2± 18.3) and (300.2± 16.2) g,t=-2.324,-2.584and-2.359,all P ＜ 0.05].(2) At 28 weeks,the pancreas weight and the ratio of pancreas weight to body weight of group F1-G-♀ [(0.53 ±0.05) g and (0.17±0.02)％] were decreased significantly compared with group F1-C-♀ [(0.65±0.04) g and (0.21±0.02)％,t=4.159 and 2.483,both P ＜ 0.05].The pancreas weight,ratio of pancreas weight to body weight,visceral fat weight and fat weight of mass ratio in groups F2-G-♂ and F2-G-♀ were not remarkably different from groups F2-C-♂ and F2-C-♀,respectively (all P ＞ 0.05).(3)The level of FPG at three weeks of age in F2-G-♀ group was higher than in F2-C-♀ group [(6.5±0.8) vs (4.9±1.2) mmol/L,t=-2.786,P ＜ 0.05],and it was also higher in F2-G-♂ group than in F2-C-♂ group [(6.3±0.8) vs (4.7± 1.0) mmol/L,t=-2.696,P ＜ 0.05].At 28 weeks,the FPG level was (6.7±0.6) and (8.4±2.2) mmol/L in F2-G-♀ and F2-G-♂ groups,being higher than in F2-C-♀ and F2-C-♂ groups,respectively [(5.8±0.5) and (6.2± 1.0) mmol/L,t=-2.695 and-2.337,both P ＜ 0.05].Compared with F1-C-♀ group [(0.61 ±0.10) mmol/L],the high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol level was lower in F1-G-♀ group [(0.47±0.05) mmol/L,t=2.433,P ＜ 0.05].(4) In groups F1-G-♀,F2-G-♀ and F2-G-♂,the structure of the islet cells was obviously atrophic and disordered,and β-cells were slightly decreased and distributed unevenly,but group F1-G-♂ had significantly increased β-cells with hypertrophic islet size compared with control group.Conclusions F 1 rat offsprings exposed to mild intrauterine hyperglycemia experience excessive weight gain after birth,impaired structure of the islet,metabolic abnormality,increased visceral fat weight and glucose and lipid metabolism disorder,which show intergenerational inheritance and gender differences.

Objective To investigate whether area under the curve (AUC) of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) could work as a predictor of outcomes of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) on condition that blood glucose is controlled. Methods A total of 1 796 women who had a standard antenatal care in Peking University First Hospital and gave single live births from July 1, 2011 to December 31,2 013 were included.They should be diagnosed of GDM by the diagnosis criteria of gestational diabetes published by the Ministry of Health of PRC and diabetes pre-pregnancy excluded. Data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0, grouping by AUC. Results (1)Women with higher AUC had a rising trend of age and a downward trend of gestational weight gain, however, not statistically significant [specifically, in the four group of less than 15.00 mmol·L-1·h-1, 15.00 to 16.79 mmol · L-1 · h-1, 16.80 to 17.99 mmol · L-1 · h-1 and 18.00 mmol · L-1 · h-1 or more, gestational weight gain was (15.3±5.2), (14.1±4.8), (13.5±4.7) and (13.1±4.8) kg]. The prevalence of macrosomia raised while AUC increased. Those with an AUC of lower than 15.00 (mmol·L-1·h-1) had a lower risk of macrosomia (P=0.04) . But those with an AUC of 18.00 (mmol·L-1·h-1) or more had a higher risk of macrosomia (P=0.02). There was a rising trend in premature birth and preeclampsia with AUC increasing but not significant (the prevalence of premature birth was 4.38%, 5.36%, 7.71%and 7.94%while that of preeclampsia was 2.85%, 4.69%, 4.67% and 5.08% in these four groups).(2)The prevalence of macrosomia was 12.76% (54/423) when overweight pre-pregnancy ,significantly higher compared with 5.87%(65/1 107) in normal group. The prevalence of preeclampsia was 5.91%(25/423) and 3.34%(37/1 107) in those two groups, which was also significantly different. The obese group had a statistically highest prevalence of preeclampsia of 9.23%(12/130). (3)AUC (P<0.05, OR=1.113, 95%CI:1.008-1.218), as well as gestational weight gain (P<0.05, OR=1.520, 95%CI:1.279-1.806) and pre-pregnancy BMI (P<0.05, OR=1.183, 95%CI:1.125-1.243) made a difference in the prevalence of macrosomia. Meanwhile, pre-pregnancy BMI made sense in the prevalence of premature labor (P<0.05, OR=1.059, 95%CI:1.003-1.119) and preeclampsia (P<0.01, OR=1.202, 95%CI:1.123-1.286). Conclusions AUC, as well as pre-pregnancy BMI and gestational weight gain have a significant impact on outcomes of GDM, macrosomia especially, though blood glucose is controlled. Meanwhile, AUC might be considered as a predictor of macrosomia.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics (social background,comorbidity,complications and outcomes of pregnancy) of multipara in Beijing area.Methods A systematic cluster sampling survey was conducted on 15 194 pregnant women who gave birth at 15 hospitals in Beijing from January to June in 2013.The age,gestational weeks at delivery,education background,geographical distribution,health insurance coverage,mode of delivery,comorbidity and complications of pregnancy,pregnant outcomes and other relevant clinical data were collected and analyzed with two-sample t test or Chi-square test.Results The proportion of multipara in Beijing area was 21.12％ (3 209/15 194),the per capita number of delivery was 1.23 (18 745/15 194).The ratio of women with higher education background,average monthly household income over 3 000 yuan,urban residence and social insurance in multipara were much lower than those in primipara (all P＜0.05).The mean maternal age of multipara was (30.02±4.88) years,pre-pregnancy body mass index was 22.24 ± 3.48,which were all higher than those of primipara [(27.82 ± 4.03) years and 21.54 ± 3.29,respectively,t=23.440 and 11.115,all P＜0.01].And the gestational weeks at delivery and mean weight gain during pregnancy of multipara was less than that of primipara [(39.15 ±1.67) vs (39.49 ± 1.67) weeks,t=-14.044,P=0.000;(14.66±6.24) vs (15.81 ± 5.86) kg,t=-9.448,P=0.000],while the levels of total cholesterol,triglyceride and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol and the incidence of macrosomia were significantly higher [(5.59± 1.14) vs (5.24± 1.15) mmol/L,(2.31± 1.38) vs (1.96± 1.34) mmol/L,(3.03±0.91) vs (2.82±0.87) mmol/L,t=12.867,15.718 and 10.275,all P＜0.01;9.29％ (298/3 209) vs 7.24％ (868/11 985),x2=14.926,P=0.000].Significantly lower incidences of abnormal amniotic fluid volume,premature rupture of membranes,fetal distress,abnormal labor and vaginal delivery (all P ＜ 0.01),but higher neonatal birth weight [(3 374.38 ±504.57) vs (3 328.39±488.70) g,t=4.839,P=0.000] and cesarean section rate [45.96％ (1 475/3 209) vs 42.49％(5 092/11 985),x2=12.477,P＜0.01] were found in multipara than in primipara.Compared with primipara,multipara had higher incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus,diabetes during pregnancy,pregnancy complicated with cardiovascular problems,hypertensive disorder complicating pregnancy [adjusted OR(95％CI):1.265 (1.135-1.411),1.799 (1.215 2.663),1.567 (1.221-2.347),1.647 (1.300-2.086),all P＜0.01].Conclusions The primipara is the major reproductive population in Beijing area.However,the multipara requires close antenatal care because of their susceptibility to pregnant complications.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of common pathogens in Xinjiang ,aare so as to provide references for reasonable use of antibiotics .Methods The strains of common pathogens isolated from patients in the First Teaching Hospital of Xingjiang Medical University from 2012 to 2013 were collected ,and the drug susceptibility testing were performed by K‐B methods recommended by CLSI .Results Totally 18 374 strains were isolated ,among them 13 323 strains were gram negative and 5 051 strains were gram positive .Escherichia coli ,Klebsiella pneumoniae ,Staphylococcus aureus ,Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa occupied the top 5 .Most of strains were isolated from sputum (accounted for 36 .1% ) .Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae showed high resistance rate to cefazolin sodium ,cefotaxime and quinolones .The detection rate of ESBLs pro‐ducing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae were 48 .4% and 41 .7% ,respectively .The resistance rate of Pseudomonas aerug‐inosa to commonly used antibiotics was 10 .0% ~20 .0% .Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) accounted for 44 .7%of all Staphylococcus aureus ,and no strains of Staphylococcus resistant to vancomycin ,teicoplanin and Linezolid were found .Conclu‐sion Gram negative bacteria are the most common strains isolated from clinical in this area ,and strains are mainly isolated from samples of respiratory tract and genitourinary tract ,and the situation of drug resistance is severe ,which indicate the clinicians should strengthen the monitoring of drug‐resistant bacteria and promote rational use of antimicrobial agents .

Objective: To explore the characteristics of maternal glucose and lipid metabolism in twin pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods: The clinical features of twin and singleton pregnancies complicated by GDM, which delivered in Peking University First Hospital from January 1st, 2012 to December 31st, 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 286 twin pregnancies with GDM (GDM-T group) were collected, and 572 singleton pregnancies complicated by GDM (GDM-S group) which were matched by delivery time in a ratio of 1∶2 among all singleton pregnancies with GDM. The characteristics of maternal glucolipid metabolism in the second trimesters of pregnancy was compared between two groups. Results: (1) Compared with GDM-S group, the maternal delivery age were lower [(32±4), (33±4) years] and prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) were higher [(24±4), (23±4) kg/m²] in GDM-T group, the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The incidence of chronic hypertension was found no significant difference (P=0.581). (2) The 3 points of glucose values in 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and OGTT-area under curve (AUC) had no significant difference between GDM-T and GDM-S group.When compared with GDM-S group, the maternal glycosylated hemoglobin levels [(5.41±0.35)%, (5.32±0.28)%], the insulin resistance index (4.07±0.77, 2.63±1.50) and the proportion of insulin use (7.7%, 4.4%) were all significantly higher in GDM-T group (all P<0.05). The values of triglyceride [(3.4±1.4), (2.6±1.2) mmol/L], total cholesterol [(6.3±1.1), (6.0±1.0) mmol/L], low density lipoprotein cholesterol [(3.3±0.9), (3.1±0.8) mmol/L] were significantly higher and values of high density lipoprotein cholesterol [(1.7±0.4), (2.0±0.5) mmol/L] were significantly lower in GDM-T group than GDM-S group (all P<0.05). (3) There was no significant difference in the incidence of gestational hypertension between the two groups (P>0.05). When compared with GDM-S group, the incidences of preeclampsia and small for gestational age were both significantly higher (13.3% vs 2.4%; 28.7% vs 1.7%) and the incidence of large for gestational age was significantly lower in GDM-T group (4.5% vs 15.2%; all P<0.05). Conclusions The insulin resistance is aggravated in twin pregnancies and the characteristics of lipid metabolism are different between singleton and twin pregnant women complicated by GDM, and there are more complications in twin GDM pregnancies.

Objective To investigate the effects of emodin on the triglyceride metabolism and oxidative stress in steatosis in HepG2 cells and possible underlying mechanisms.Methods The appropriate concentration of emodin on HepG2 cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.HepG2 cells were induced to fat overaccumulation by 1 mmol/L free fatty acids (FFA) (oleate∶ palmitate =2∶1).The model group exposed to 10 μmol/L,20 μmol/L,40 μmol/L emodin.The intracellular lipid accumulation was documented by Oil Red O staining and the content of triglyceride and total cholesterol was observed.Reactive oxygen species (ROS) was determined by flow cytometry.Western blotting was performed to analyze the protein levels of adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK),phosphorylated AMPK,and sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP-1).Results Emodin reduced lipid accumulation and triglycerides (TG) content (P ＜ 0.05).At the same time,it significantly reduced ROS production (P ＜ 0.05).Moreover,the levels of AMPK and p-AMPK protein were significantly upregulated,and SREBP-1 protein was significantly downregulated with the treatment of emodin (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions This study has demonstrated that emodin can reduce fatty degeneration induced by FFAs in hepatocytes,and this effect may be partially mediated by the AMPK/SREBP-1 pathway.

Objective To assess the clinical value of preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of small solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) in assisting video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) procedure to more quickly and more precisely remove small pulmonary lesions.Methods The clinical data of 90 patients with SPN,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from June 2014 to May 2016 to receive VATS,were retrospective analyzed.Preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of SPN was employed in 45 patients (group A),while other 45 patients (group B) did not receive preoperative positioning of SPN.The pulmonary lobar wedge resection time,the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation,postoperative hospitalization time,the success rate of microcoil positioning of SPN,complications,etc.of both groups were statistically analyzed.The safety of preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of SPN was evaluated,and its benefit-enhancing value for VATS was discussed.Results In group A,the success rate of VATS was 100％ and the success rate of SPN positioning was 95.6％.Postoperative complications included pneumothorax (n=5),pulmonay surface hemorrhage (n=6),and dislodgement of microcoil (n=2).In group B,the success rate of VATS was 84.4％ and the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation was 15.6％.In group A,the manipulation time of VATS was (17.7±2.8) min,the postoperative hospitalization time was (6.2±1.7) days,and the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation was 0％,which were strikingly lower than those in group B;the differences between the two groups were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion Preoperative CT-guided microcoil positioning of small SPN can assist VATS procedure to remove small pulmonary lesions more quickly and more precisely,it can effectively reduce the transfer rate of changing to open chest operation,shorten the manipulation time of VATS as well as the postoperative hospitalization time.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and costs of pegylated recombinant human granulocyte colony stimulating factor (PEG-rhG-CSF) and granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) for hematopoietic stem cell mobilization and hematopoietic recovery after transplantation in patients with relapsed or refractory malignant lymphoma. Methods:From July 2014 to October 2016, 15 patients with malignant lymphoma using peripheral blood stem cell mobilization (PBSCM) for autologous peripheral stem cell transplantation (APBSCT) were treated in our institution and enrolled in the PEG-rhG-CSF group (experimental group). We analyzed data from other 15 patients with malignant lymphoma mobilized with G-CSF who were treated in our institution from January 2013 to August 2015 (control group). Results:Patients in both groups were successfully mobilized. The median amounts of CD34+cells collected in the experimental and control groups were 16.2×106/kg and 8.9×106/kg, respectively (P=0.414), and the median amount of mononuclear cell (MNC) was 12.4×108/kg and 9.9× 108/kg, respectively (P=0.519). In the experimental and control groups, the mean durations of mobilization were 10.66±1.45 and 9.33±1.83 days (P=0.234), the mean durations of neutropenia during mobilization were 4.20±2.17 and 3.80±2.04 days (P=0.608), the mean durations of absolute neutrophil count recovery after APBSCT were 10.14±1.29 and 10.93±2.69 days (P=0.327), and the mean durations of platelet recovery were 10.36±2.27 and 12.27±3.38 days (P=0.121). Mobilization and hematopoietic recovery after APBSCT were not significantly different between the two groups. The cost was lower in the experimental group than that in the control group (RMB 3,960 yuan versus RMB 11,479.3±2,401.3 yuan). Conclusion:High-dose chemotherapy combined with PEG-rhG-CSF is a promising, effective, and low-cost mobilization regimen for patients with relapsed or refractory malignant lymphoma.
