OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technology of Compound qima capsules. METHODS:With the blood pres-sure lowering of rats as index,pharmacological efficacy test was used to screen the preparation technology(A was whole herb de-coction;B was Gastrodia elata fine powder mixed with other decocted medical materials). The extraction technology was opti-mized by single factor and orthogonal test using the contents of astragaloside and isoflavone grape glycosides and the quality of sol-id as indexes,with added water,decoction time,decoction times as factors;and the verification test was carried out. RESULTS:Pharmacological efficacy test showed that antihypertensive effect of sample by technology B was superior. The optimal extraction condition of other medical materials of technology B was as follows as 12-fold water per time,decocting for 1.5 h,for 3 times. In verification test,average extraction rates of astragaloside and isoflavone grape glycosides were 64.02% and 51.97%,and average value of the quality of solid was 5.69 g(RSD≤1.92%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized extraction technology is stable and feasible.

Objective To evaluate the application of echocardiography in the diagnosis of bicuspid aortic valve and its pathophysiologic development and to demonstrate the degree of aortic valve dysfunction. Methods The echocardiographic characteristics and clinical data were analyzed retrospectively in 135 patients with bicuspid aortic valve to demonstrate the variation of aortic valve dysfunction in the progression of the course of the disease. Results Isolated aortic regurgitation was present in 68 (50%) patients, 19 (14%)patients had isolated aortic stenosis and 29 (22%)patients had combined aortic stenosis and regurgitation, 19 (14%) patients had neither stenosis nor regurgitation. Aortic regurgitation were all more commen within each age group, aortic regurgitation were also more commen within each age group in patients in their advanced course who went to surgical treatment. Conclusions Echocardiography is an effective method in the early diagnosis of aortic valve dysfunction.

Objective To investigate the analgesic efficacy of intrathecal injection of RC-13,a competitive kinesin superfamily protein 17 antagonist,in a mouse model of bone cancer pain.Methods Forty male C3H/HeJ mice,aged 6-8 weeks,weighing 20-25 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=8 each): sham operation group (group S); bone cancer pain + 5 μl dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) group (group R0); bone cancer pain + 2.5 μg RC-13 group (group R1); bone cancer pain + 5 μg RC-13 group (group R2) and bone cancer pain + 10 μg RC-13 group (group R3).In groups R0-3,bone cancer pain was induced by implantation of α-min-imal essence medium (α-MEM) containing osteosarcomaNCTC 2472 cells into the intramedullary space of right femur.In group S,culture medium α-MEM containing no cancer cell was injected instead.10％ DMSO 5 μl and RC-13 2.5 μg/5 μl,5μg/5μ1 and 10 μg/5 μ1 dissolved in 10％ DMSO were injected intrathecally in groups R0-3,respectively,once a day for 3 consecutive days starting from 14th day after inoculation of the tumor cells.Pain behavior was assessed by the paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and spontaneous lifting times (SLTs) measured at 1 day before inoculation and at 3,5,7,10,14 days after inoculation.The same tests were also performed at 1,3,5 and 7 days after administration in groups R0-3.Results Compared with group S,PWMT was significantly decreased and SLTs were increased at 7-14 days after inoculation in the other groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group R0,PWMT was significantly increased and SLTs were reduced at 1 day after administration in group R1,at 1and 3 days after administration in group R2,and at 1,3 and 5 days after administration in group R3 (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group R1,PWMT was significantly increased and SLTs were reduced at 3 days after administration in group R2,and at 1,3 and 5 days after administration in group R3 (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group R2,PWMT was significantly increased and SLTs were reduced at 1 and 3 days after administration in group Rs (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal RC-13,a competitive kinesin superfamily protein 17 antagonist,has a good analgesic efficacy in a mouse model of bone cancer pain and the efficacy is dose-dependent.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of dexmedetomidine on lung injury during one lung ventilation in patients undergoing lobectomia pulmonalis.Methods Sixty-four patients undergoing lobectomy in our hospital from May 2014 to February 2017 were selected.There were 38 males and 26 females,aged 42-75 years,ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ.Patients were divided into two groups according to different treatments,n=32 in each group.The patients in the observation group were given dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg· kg-1 · h-1 at 20 min before the induction of anesthesia,and adjusted to 0.2-0.5 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 after 10 min.The control group was given equal volume normal saline.The changes of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN),myeloper oxidase (MPO),intra-pulmonary shunt rate(Qs/Qt),xanthine oxidase (XOD),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and nitric oxide (NO) concent ration were recorded at 10 min before induction (T0),beginning of OLV (T1),OLV for 60 min (T2),90 min (T3),postoperative 24 h (T4).Results Compared with T0,the PMN counts increased significantly at T2-T4 and the serum MPO and XOD concentrations were significantly increased (P＜0.05).The PMN counts,serum MPO and XOD concentration in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P＜0.05).Compared with T0,the serum VEGF concentration was significantly increased at T2 and T3,and the serum VEGF concentration in the observation group was significantly lower than that in control group at T3 (P＜0.05).The serum NO concentration at T2 and T3 in observation group was significantly higher than that in control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can reduce the inflammatory response of the lungs and has a protective effect on ischemia-reperfusion and injury in patients with single lung ventilation,and reduce the degree of oxidative stress,which plays a protective effect on lung.

Objective:To investigate the normal reference values of spinal bone mineral density measured by quantitative computed tomography (QCT) and the differences of bone mineral density (BMD) in different regions of in Chinese adult males.Methods:Men who underwent low-dose CT lung scan for cancer screening in regions of Northeast, North, East, South, Central and Southwest of China from January 2018 to December 2019 were selected. And the lumbar vertebrae BMD values in the male subjects were measured by the QCT system (Mindways Software, Inc.). The mean BMD values and their decline rates were calculated at an age interval of 10 years, and the prevalence of osteoporosis was calculated according to the American College of Radiology spine QCT osteoporosis diagnostic criteria.Results:A total of 50 682 males with a mean age of (50.22±12.79) years (ranged 20 to 98 years) were included in this study. The peak BMD of (173.11±28.56) mg/cm 3 in the healthy Chinese adult male population appeared in the age group of 20 to 29 years and then declined with age. Before the age of 70 years, the BMD was relatively higher in males in South China, and it was lower in Central China and Southwest China, and it was intermediate in Northeast, North and East of China, with statistically significant differences. There was no significant differences in BMD in the males in the two age groups of 70 to 79 years and 80 and older among the regions in China. The overall decline rate of spinal BMD in Chinese males under QCT was about 46.92% over the lifetime, and it declined obviouslyin the 40-49 age group. The overall prevalence of osteoporosis in Chinese male population aged 50 years and above was approximately 11.42%, with the highest prevalence in Southwest China and Central China (14.72% and 13.87%, respectively) and the lowest in North China and South China (8.53% and 7.71%, respectively). Conclusions:A reference of lumbar spine BMD values for healthy males in China based on QCT is established. BMD values were highest in South China and Lowest in Central China.
