Objective To establish a method for quality control of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid in Qingdu tablet. Methods The content of oleanolie acid and ursolic acid in Qingdu tablet were determined by high performance liquid chroma-tography(HPLC). The analytical column was kromasil-C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm). The mobile phase consisted of methanol-0.5% phosphoric acid solution (88:12). The UV detection wavelenghth was 210 nm. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min. Results Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid showed a good linearity in range of 0.06-0.54μg (R=0.999 3) and 0.30-2.70μg (R=0.999 7). The average recovery rates of Oleanolic acid and ursolic acid were 100.48% and 102.21%, respectively. Conclusions This method is simple, rapid and accurate. It could be used for the quality control and quality study of the Qingdu tablet.

Objective:
To investigate the plasma levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer (D-D) and fibrinogen (Fib) among patients with pneumoconiosis, so as to provide insights into the prevention of thrombosis among patients with pneumoconiosis.
Methods:
Ninety-six male coal workers with stable-stage pneumoconiosis admitted to China Pingmei Shenma Group Occupational Disease Prevention and Control Hospital from February 2019 to February 2021 were included in the pneumoconiosis group, and 43 male healthy volunteers in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group. The plasma D-D, Fib, IL-6 and CRP levels were detected from subjects in the two groups. The associations of plasma D-D and Fib levels with IL-6 and CRP levels were examined using Pearson correlation analysis among pneumoconiosis patients.
Results:
Participants in the pneumoconiosis group and the control group had a mean age of (52.91±3.89) and (52.64±4.12) years, D-D of (1.28±0.91) and (0.44±0.11) mg/L, Fib of (4.41±0.98) and (2.88±0.61) g/L, IL-6 of (0.63±0.19) and (0.42±0.06) ng/L and CRP of (3.30±1.65) and (1.35±0.12) mg/L, respectively. Higher plasma D-D, Fib, IL-6 and CRP levels were detected in the pneumoconiosis group than in the control group (all P<0.05). The plasma D-D level correlated positively with IL-6 level among pneumoconiosis patients (r=0.347, P<0.001).
Conclusion
High plasma IL-6, CRP, D-D and Fib levels are detected among patients with pneumoconiosis, and the plasma D-D level correlates positively with IL-6 level among patients with pneumoconiosis.

Objective To investigate miR-146a-Smad4 expression during ultraviolet A(UVA)-induced photoaging of human skin fibroblasts (HSFs), and to evaluate effects of up-regulation of miR-146a expression on its target gene Smad4 and cell photoaging. Methods HSFs were isolated from the prepuce, and subjected to primary culture and maintained up to 10th passage. Then, the HSFs were classified into 4 groups: blank control group receiving no treatment, UVA group irradiated with 10 J/cm2 UVA, miR-146a group transfected with a lentiviral vector expressing miR-146a, UVA+ miR-146a group transfected with the lentiviral vector expressing miR-146a followed by UVA radiation. Real time PCR was performed to measure miR-146a expression in HSFs in the UVA group on day 0, 3, 7 and 14 after UVA radiation.Fluorescence microscopy was carried out to estimate transfection efficiency on day 7 and 14 in the miR-146a group after transfection, and real time PCR was performed to quantify miR-146a expression in these cells. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT)assay was conducted to evaluate proliferative activity of HSFs, real time PCR to quantify mRNA expressions of photoaging-related genes p53, p21 and p16, and Western blot analysis to measure Smad4 protein expression in these cells. Statistical analysis was carried out by using repeated-measures analysis of variance and factorial design analysis of variance. Results Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed that the expression of miR-146a decreased over time in both the UVA group and blank control group(F = 213.840, P < 0.01), and significantly lower in the UVA group than in the blank control group (F = 52.55, P < 0.01), with the difference between the two groups increasing over time. After transfection with the lentiviral vector expressing miR-146a-Smad4, HSFs showed a strong fluorescence intensity of miR-146a. The expression level of miR-146a was significantly higher in the miR-146a group than in the blank control group on day 7 and 14 after transfection(10.31 ± 0.17 vs. 8.33 ± 0.13 on day 7, 9.65 ± 0.19 vs. 7.86 ± 0.11 on day 14, F =42.49, P < 0.01), but insignificantly different between day 7 and 14 in the miR-146a group (P > 0.05). Factorial design analysis of variance showed that UVA radiation had an inhibitory effect on the proliferative activity of HSFs (P < 0.01), which was significantly lower in the UVA group than in the blank control group(P < 0.01), and lower in the UVA + miR-146a group than in the miR-146a group (P < 0.01). The lentivirus-mediated up-regulation of miR-146a expression also affected cellular proliferative activity (P < 0.01), which was significantly higher in the UVA + miR-146a group than in the UVA group(P < 0.01), but insignificantly different between the miR-146a group and blank control group(P > 0.05). Real time PCR and Western blot analysis both revealed that UVA radiation could increase the expressions of p53, p21 and p16 mRNAs as well as Smad4 protein(all P < 0.01). Concretely speaking, the expressions of p53, p21, p16 mRNAs and Smad4 protein were all significantly higher in the UVA group than in the blank control group (all P < 0.01), and higher in the UVA +miR-146a group than in the miR-146a group (all P < 0.01), but significantly lower in the UVA + miR-146a group than in the UVA group (all P < 0.01), and insignificantly different between the blank control group and miR-146a group (all P >0.05). Conclusion The expression of miR-146a is inhibited in UVA-induced photoaged HSFs, and its up-regulation may counteract cell photoaging by suppressing Smad4 expression in, and promoting proliferation of, photoaged HSFs.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of chest multi-slice computed tomography angiography (MSCTA) as a preoper-ative examination for lung cancer patients undergoing pulmonary lobectomy. Methods: Sixty lung cancer patients formed the study population and were randomly divided into 2 groups of 30 cases each. In the experimental group, CTA images of the tumors and pulmo-nary artery, bronchial artery, pulmonary vein were acquired, analyzed, and post-processed using VR to determine the anatomical rela-tionship between vessels and tumors. Pulmonary lobectomy followed. Cases in the control group underwent pulmonary lobectomy with-out guidance by chest MSCTA. Operation times and amounts of operative blood loss were compared between the two groups. Results:Significant differences between groups in terms of operation time (study group vs. control group, 199±55.7 vs. 231.5±51.2(min);P=0.02) and amount of operative blood loss (study group vs. control group, 318.33±99.6 vs. 431.7±89.5(mL), P<0.01) were observed. Val-ues of operation time and amount of contrast agents in the study group were consistently lower than those in the control group. Conclu-sion:Chest MSCTA can shorten the operation time and reduce the amount of operative blood loss during pulmonary lobectomy. Thus, the technique has significant clinical value.
