Poria cocos,Cortex Poriae,Polyporusumbellatusand Alisma orientalisare common tra-ditionaI Chinese diuretic medicines. According to reported Iiterature,P.cocostriterpenes and poIysaccha-rides,steroids and tetracycIic triterpenes are the main chemicaI components of P.cocos,its epidermis, Pol.umbellatusand A.orientalis,respectiveIy. most of these diuretic drugs contain tetracycIic triterpenes and steroids,which have a simiIar structure to aIdosterone nucIeus structure. Therefore,this characteris-tic may reveaI their diuretic mechanisms. The tetracycIic triterpenes and steroids may exert diuretic effect through competitive inhibition of aIdosterone receptors in different parts of tubuIar reabsorption to increase urine output. The present articIe reviewed the chemicaI components of these diuretic Chinese medicines. Furthermore,their bioactive components and action mechanisms were aIso anaIyzed and discussed.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the anti-proliferative and apoptotic effects of tetramethypyrazine(TMP)on HepG2 and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms. CCK-8 was introduced to analyze the HepG2 cells proliferation. Cell apoptosis, mitochondrial membrane potential(ΔΨm)and cytochrome C were measured by high content screening(HCS). Cleaved-caspases protein expression was detected by Western blot. CCK-8 assay indicated that TMP significantly inhibited HepG2 cells proliferation in dose-dependent manner compared with the control group. Moreover, it was found that TMP could also induce HepG2 cell apoptosis, directly increase the release of cytochrome C, decrease ΔΨm and increase cleaved-caspase-3 and cleaved-caspase-9 protein expression. TMP may inhibit cell proliferation and induce cell apoptosis by stimulating the mitochondrial pathway apoptosis in HepG2 cells.

Objective To establish a suitable model for predicting the success of trial of labor after cesarean section (TOLAC) during the pregnancy at term.Methods Data for all deliveries at term with one cesarean delivery history in Shenzhen Maternity and Child healthcare hospital during 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2014 were reviewed.Variables associated with VBAC were identified and used to build a model to predict the outcome of TOLAC with multivariable logistic regression.Godness of fit and accuracy of the model were evaluated by ROC.Results A total of 531 women met inclusion criteria and underwent TOLAC.Of the women who underwent trial of labor, 448 (84.4%) had a successful VBAC, 83 failed, and 2 (0.38%) had uterine rupture.Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that previous cesarean section (CS) time interval, neonatal birth weight (BW) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM) were independent factors affecting TOLAC outcome, and their Odds Ratios were 2.79, 1.002 and 0.244, respectively.The Logistic regression model was expressed as follows:P =1/[1 + exp (2.4 × neonatal BW + 1.03 × previous CS time interval-1.41 × PROM-10.24)].The Hosmer-lemeshow test showed that the model fitted well (x2 =123.45, P =0.996), and the prediction accuracy of the model was 86.77%.The model performed well with an AUC of 0.794 (P =0.000).Conclusions A predictive model, which contains three variables (previous CS time interval, neonatal BW and PROM), has been developed and its prediction efficiency and accuracy are satisfactory.The larger birth weight, the longer time interval from previous CS, and the absence of PROM are more likely to be failed in TOLAC.

Objective:To study the variation in activity in patient′s body with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) treated with 131I and external dose level, analyze the relationship between the both, and estimate the correction factor for the dose equivalent rate for the patients with residual activity of 400 MBq. Methods:A total of 43 DTC patients who received 131I therapy for the first time after total thyroidectomy were studied. The dose was 1 850-3 700 MBq and average dose was (2 405±777) MBq. The measurements of residual activity in patient′s body and of dose equivalent rate at 0.3, 1 and 3 m in front of the patients were performed at 2, 6, 20, 22, 24, 27, 30, 44, 46, 48, 54, 68 and 72 h after administration of 131I. Results:The residual activity in patient′s body after 131I therapy varied with time as a function of A= A0 (1.033 16e -0.062 4t+ 0.017 17). It can be estimated that the effective half-life of DTC patients treated with thyroid remnant 131I ablation therapy is 12.19 h. It needs only 26.4-38.9 h to reduce the internal activity to the 400 MBq. The functions of variation with time of normalized dose equivalent rate at 0.3, 1, and 3 m away from patients were: H· 0.3=127.220 7e -0.054 8t+ 3.765 71; H· 1=30.225 8e -0.064 4t+ 0.824 67; and H· 3=4.161 9e -0.061 5t+ 0.167 97, respectively. There was a positive correlation between residual activity and dose equivalent rate at 1 m ( r=0.982, P<0.05), and the function is H· 1=0.025 A+ 1.245. When residual activities in DTC patient′s body were 1 000, 700 and 400 MBq, the corresponding dose equivalent rates at 1 m from patients were 26.2, 18.7 and 11.2 μSv/h, respectively. The correction factors for dose equivalent rate at 0.3, 1 and 3 m from patients with 400 MBq were 0.25, 0.49 and 0.70, respectively. Conclusions:DTC patients with administration of 131I activity below 3 700 MBq need only to be hospitalized for two days to reach the discharge standards. When the residual activity in DTC patient′s body drops to 400 MBq, the dose equivalent rate at 1 m is far less than 25 μSv/h. Simply using the point source formula to estimate the dose equivalent rate around the patient will result in overestimation. Therefore, the correction factor used in the estimation of radiation doses to patients by using the formula needs to be further studied so as to make the model-based estimated result more consistent with the actual situation.
