Objective: To develop an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of paeoniflorin , liquiritin, baicalin and costunolide in Fuke Yangkun pills , and optimize the extraction technology by response surface methodology ( RSM).Methods: The separation of targeted compounds were performed on a Kromasil C 18 column (250 mm ×4.6 mm, 5 μm).The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (A) and 0.2%phosphoric acid (B) with gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 ml min-1.The detection wavelength was set at 230, 276, 280 and 225 nm, respectively.The column temperature was 28℃.Using the contents of the four components as the indices, the extraction process was optimized by a response surface method with methanol concentration , solid-liquid ratio and ex-traction time as the influencing factors .Results: The linear range of paeoniflorin , liquiritin, baicalin and costunolide was 1.616-161.600, 0.432-43.180, 2.045-204.500 and 0.518-51.840 μg ml-1, respectively.The average recovery (n=9) was 98.3%, 99.6%, 97.9%and 98.1%, respectively.The optimum conditions of extraction process were as follows:the methanol concentration was 64%, the solid-liquid ratio was 1 ∶51, and the extraction time was 25 min.Conclusion: The response surface methodology is convenient and highly predictive in optimizing the extraction process of the four effective components in Fuke Yangkun pills .The devel-oped content determination method is simple and accurate , which can be used for the quality control of Fuke Yangkun pills .

[ABSTRACT]OBJECTIVEThis study aims to explore the molecular mechanism and expression of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and tumor marker CD44 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells after transfection withβ-Catenin when the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was blocked.METHODSSP cells and CD44+SP cells isolated from the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line CNE-2 by flow cytometry were identified. Changes in the number and biological characteristics of CNE-2 and CD44+SP cells in vitro were investigated after the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway was blocked through siRNA.RESULTSSP cells accounted for 2.3% of nasopharyngeal carcinoma CNE-2 cells, andCD44+SP cells accounted for 36.5% of the SP cells. CD44+SP cells showed significantly higher in vitro proliferation and resistance to chemotherapy (P<0.05). After transfection withβ-Catenin siRNA, the proliferation, cloning efficiency, and tolerance to chemotherapeutic drugs of the cells were found statistical differences compared with those before transfection ofβ-Catenin siRNA. CONCLUSIONWnt/β-catenin signaling pathway abnormalities are closely related to the biological behavior of nasopharyngeal carcinomaCD44+SP cells. Interference of this pathway can change the characteristics of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cells.

Objective:To explore the effect of humanistic care in patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.Methods:Totally 51 patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation were recruited from the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,between September 2014 and July 2016,and were randomly divided into two groups.Patients in the intervention group (n =25) received humanistic care,while those in the control group (n =26) received routine nursing.The incidence of adverse psychological status and nursing satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:The incidence rate of adverse psychological state in the intervention group (16％) was significantly lower than that in the control group (53％),while the nursing satisfaction in the interventiongroup (92％) was significantly higher than that in the control group (69％),P ＜0.05.Conclusion:Application of humanistic care in the patients with hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can significantly improve nursing satisfaction and reduce the incidence of adverse psychological state,which will improve the confidence of the patients and the quality of nursing satisfaction.Consequently,it will promote the relationship between the nurses and patients.

OBJECTIVE: To study the management of basic parameters related to individual piston shaping on malleostapedotomy by MDST 3D reconstruction and microanatomy and to assess the accuracy of MDST method. METHOD: Ten Chinese temporal bones without ear diseases were numbered randomly and scanned by GE Light Speed Ultra 64 rows of spiral CT. 3D structure of ossicular chain were reconstructed by MPR and VR methods in AW4. 1 workstation. Then measurements of distances between stapes head to stapes footplate (A line), and manubrium to stapes head (B line), and manubrium to stapes footplate (C line), angle between line A and line B (angle AB) are completed. After that, all samples of temporal bone were undergone canal wall down mastoidectomy under microscope and the relevant measurements were completed. RESULT: The MPR and VR technique of MDCT reconstructed ossicular chain clearly, and revealed the spatial relationship between every structure stereoscopically. Respectively, lengths of A, B, C line by MDST and microanatomy are (3.42 +/- 0.86) mm and (3.60 +/- 0.94) mm, (3.42 +/- 0.80) mm and (2.96 +/- 0.42) mm, (5.86 +/- 0.60) mm and (6.22 +/- 1.10) mm, while angle AB (141.05 +/- 30.07) degrees and (144.57 +/- 41.86) degrees. There are no statistically significant differences between two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The MPR and VR technique of MDCT can clearly reconstructed the 3D shapes of the temporal bone and finish the exactly managements on A, B, C lines and AB angel which is crucial for shaping a individual piston on malleus-to-oval window surgery.
