Object To study the effects of Veratrum nigrum L. var. ussuriense Nakai alkaloids (VnA) on platelet aggregation in rats and coagulation time, bleeding time in mice. Methods The antiplatelet effect of VnA was examined by determining platelet aggregation rate in normal rats and blood stasis model rats by turbidimetric method developed by Born. Whole blood coagulation time (CT) in mice was measured by capillary glass tube method, bleeding time (BT) by hemorrhagic transection of mouse tail model. Results VnA (45, 30, and 15 ?g/kg, iv) significantly inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats in a dose-dependent manner. VnA (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 ?g/kg, ip) markedly increased CT and BT in mice. VnA [49.3 ?g/kg, which was anticoagulantly equieffective to heparin (1.25 mg/kg), ip] prolonged BT. There was no statistically significant difference in BT between VnA and heparin, although BT increase induced by VnA was shorter than that induced by heparin. Conclusion VnA has significant antiplatelet effect in rats and can prolong CT and BT in mice. At equieffective dose VnA-induced BT increase does not exceed that heparin induced.

Objective: To summarize the measures and experience in diagnosis and treatment of extremely severe burn patients with severe inhalation injury in dust explosion accident. Methods: The medical records of 13 patients with extremely severe burn complicated with severe inhalation injury in August 2nd Kunshan factory aluminum dust explosion accident who were treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (hereinafter referred to as our hospital) on August 2nd, 2014, were retrospectively analyzed. All the patients were transferred to our hospital 3-8 hours after injury under the condition of inhalation of pure oxygen. Twelve patients underwent tracheotomy within 5 hours after admission, while 1 patient underwent tracheotomy before admission. All the patients were in ventilator-assisted respiration, with synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation combined with positive end expiratory pressure. All the patients underwent thorax or limbs escharotomy on the second day after admission, so as to reduce the restrictive ventilatory dysfunction caused by the contraction of thorax eschar and the terminal circulation disorder caused by the contraction of limbs eschar. All the patients underwent electronic bronchoscopy within 48 hours after admission, airway secretion were cleared and airway lavage were carried out under electronic bronchoscope according to the patients′ condition, and the sputum, lavage solution, pathological tissue were collected for microbiological culture. All the patients underwent chest X-ray examination on the second day after admission and reexamination as required. Patients were all treated with a combination of broad-spectrum antibiotics early after admission to control lung and systemic infection. One patient was treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for acute respiratory distress syndrome 1 week after admission. Results: One patient suffered from cardiopulmonary arrest during tracheotomy, which recovered autonomous respiration and cardiac impulse after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Three patients showed decreased pulse oxygen saturation (SpO₂) within 48 hours after injury, and the SpO₂ returned to normal after sputum aspiration, scab removal and lavage under electronic bronchoscope. During the course of disease, bacteria were cultured from wound exudate of 7 patients, bacteremia occurred in 10 patients, and sputum microbiological culture results of 13 patients were positive. Eight of the 13 patients in this group survived, and 5 died. One patient died 19 days after injury, and 4 patients died 33-46 days after injury. The main cause of death was multiple organ dysfunction syndrome induced by severe septic shock eventually. Conclusions For this batch of patients with extremely severe burn complicated with severe inhalation injury caused by dust explosion accident, the treatment and cure measures including early definite diagnosis and timely tracheotomy, the application of effective ventilation, the effective treatment of respiratory system complications, and rational use of antibiotics for the control of lung infection obtained quite good curative effect.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic value of interventional methods for hemorrhage caused by mandibular arteriovenous malformations. Methods: The clinical data of 7 patients (3 males and 4 females) with mandibular arteriovenous malformations treated by interventional therapy from January 2012 to January 2018 in the First Affiliated Hospital, Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. Of all patients, 4 patients suffered from sudden massive hemorrhage and 3 patients suffered from spontaneous repeated bleeding. The age ranged from 8.0 to 13.0 (10.6±1.7) years. Of the 7 patients, 3 underwent interventional embolization via arteries and veins, and 4 underwent embolization only via arteries. The embolic materials were polyvinyl alcohol granules and coils. The follow-up period was 9—18 months and the curative effect was observed. Results: Among the 7 patients, 4 cases of acute massive hemorrhage were effectively controlled after interventional operation, 3 cases of chronic bleeding disappeared after interventional operation. No recurrence of bleeding occurred during the follow-up period, only 1 patient presented with oral infection and gingival swelling and hyperplasia. The symptoms were effectively controlled after anti-infection and debridement. No severe complications occurred in all patients. Conclusion Interventional therapy for ateriovenous malformation with hemorrhage is effective, safe and feasible, which is worthy of clinical application.

Necrotizing enterocolitis(NEC)is a common intestinal inflammatory disease in neonates, especially in premature infants, and still lack effective prevention and treatment methods.It has been reported that breast milk can effectively reduce the incidence of NEC.As an important component of breast milk, lipids provide key fat-soluble vitamins and essential fatty acids, and have the functions of maintaining intestinal function, promoting neurodevelopment and regulating immunity.Lipids are more abundant in premature breast milk.Therefore, its role in the prevention and treatment of common complications of premature infants, such as NEC, has been gradually paid attention to.This article reviews the progress of breast milk lipids in the prevention and treatment of neonatal NEC.

Objective: To compare the short-term outcomes of a collagen matrix (CM) and free gingival graft (FGG) in augmenting keratinized mucosa around dental implants. Methods: Nineteen partially edentulous patients who had undergone implant surgery or implant review from June 2017 to June 2018 at Department of Periodontology, Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology with lack of keratinized mucosa at buccal aspect of implants (<2 mm) were recruited in this study. According to the width of keratinized mucosa (KW) pre-operation, 9 patients including 5 males and 4 females were assigned into control group (KW<0.5 mm) which performed free gingival graft (17 implants) and 10 patients including 3 males and 7 females were assigned into experimental group (KW≥0.5 mm) which used collagen matrix as the grafts (15 implants). The KW at buccal aspect of each implant were measured pre-operation and 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months after surgery respectively. Each of the patients was required to fill out a questionnaire using a visual analogue scale to assess the postoperative morbidity. Results: The KWs around implants were increased significantly during the 3 months follow-up period in both groups (P<0.01). At 3 months after surgery, KW gain in control group was (3.44±1.64) mm, in experimental group was (2.30±0.82) mm, the difference between two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). Meantime, the total shrinkage of KW in control group [(34±25)%] and experimental group [(51±11)%] also showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.01). However, by using collagen matrix as the grafts, augmented tissues had a much more comparable appearance with adjacent tissues than that in control group. And the patients of experimental group experienced much less postoperative bleeding than those of control group. Conclusions Both collagen matrix and free gingival graft can significantly increase the KW around implants within the 3 months post-surgery follow-up period. There were more KW gain and less shrinkage in group FGG than that in group CM. However, surgery time were reduced and the postoperative bleeding were less in group CM than in group FGG as no harvesting procedure was needed.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the inhibitory effect of PSB0739 on the formation of semen-derived amyloid fibrils. METHODS: PAP248-286 (440 μmol/L) was incubated with PSB0739 at different concentrations, and at different time points of incubation, aliquots were taken from each sample for Congo red staining to detect the formation of amyloid fibers. The morphology of amyloid fibrils incubated in the presence or absence of PSB0739 was visualized using transmission electron microscope. The effect of PSB0739 on amyloid fibril formation was determined using virus infection assays at different time points, and the surface charges of amyloid fibril incubated with PSB0739 were calculated using a Zeta potentiometer. The cytotoxicity of PSB0739 in Hela cells was determined using MTT assay. The antiviral effect of PSB0738 against HIV- 1 was evaluated by infection assay. RESULTS: PSB0739 inhibited SEVI fibril formation in a dose-dependent manner . At 48 h of incubation, 220 μmol/L of PSB0739 obviously inhibited the formation of amyloid fibrils in 440 μmol/L of SEVI. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that 220 μmol/L PSB0739 prevented PAP248- 286 (440 μmol/L) from forming amyloid fibrils. PSB0739 antagonized SEVI-mediated enhancement of HIV-1 infection, and 1760 μmol/L of PSB0739 completely reversed the positive charge of SEVI ( < 0.05). PSB0739 below the concentration of 62.5 μmol/L showed no obvious cytotoxicity in Hela cells (>0.05). PSB0739 showed a direct anti-HIV activity with an IC of 21.77±5.15 μmol/L. CONCLUSIONS PSB0739 can inhibit the formation of semen-derived amyloid fibrils .
