Objective To observe the change of capillary pericapillary cells in rats with myocardial infarction and the influence of supplementing qi and activating blood circulation herbs, and explore its mechanism of improving myocardial perfusion. Methods The rat model was established by ligaturing the left anterior descending coronary artery. On the base of ECG evaluation, successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into the model group, group treated with supplementing qi and activating blood circulation Chinese medicine (activating blood and supplementing qi group), group treated with Perindopril (Perindopril group), group treated with Tongxinluo Capsules (Tongxinluo group). The sham-operation group was taken as the control. There were totally 5 groups. The model group and the sham-operation group were treated with normal saline. The changes of myocardial capillary density (MCD) and number of pericapillary cells on the 7th, 28th day after medicinal administration were observed. Results On the 7th and 28th day, the MCD decreased significantly and the number of capillary pericapillary cells increased significantly in the model group compared with the sham-operation group (P<0.01). The MCD increased significantly in the activating blood and supplementing qi group, Perindopril group and Tongxinluo group compared with the model group (P<0.01). The number of pericapillary cells decreased significantly in the activating blood and supplementing qi group, Perindopril group and Tongxinluo group compared with the model group (P<0.01). Conclusion The supplementing qi and activating blood circulation herbs can improve regional myocardial blood supply by decreasing the number of pericytes and promoting regeneration of capillary.

Objective To summarize the experience of applying choledochoscopy, duodenoscopy and laparoscopy, one-stage suturing of common bile duct, to treat cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis that failed to respond to ordinary endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST). Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of twenty-five pa-tients with choledocholithiasis complicated with cholecystolithiasis. 25 cases of failure to endoscopic stone extraction underwent LC and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with primary suture of (BD) from June 2013 to June 2015. Results One patient was converted to laparotomy with small incision. The other one had residual stones and therefore underwent a second EST. After the treatment, two patients developed hyperamylasemia, which was cured by conservative therapy; One patient had bile leakage, which was treated by percutaneous drainage with no serious complications and death. No long-term complication was found in a portion of patients followed up until now. Conclusion In properly selected patients of duodenoscopy management-failed, synchronous treatment of combined application of three endoscopies in laparoscopic surgery with primary suture of (BD) is feasible, effective and safe.

Objective To determine the electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics of myocardial infarction (MI) evolution in rats and the intervention effect of Chinese herbs, and to provide basis for the establishment of the criteria for ECG diagnosis and assessment of drug therapeutic effects of rats MI. Methods Totally 140 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, replenishing qi group, activating blood group, replenishing qi and activating blood (1∶2) and (2∶1) group as well as Tongxinluo group, each group with 20 rats. The rat MI model was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery. The treatment groups were administrered with corresponding drugs by gavage from the first day after operation. The sham operation group and model group were given the same volume of distilled water. The 12-lead ECGs were recorded before, immediately after, 1st and 2nd week after operation respectively. The voltage value of ST segment deviation, the time limit of QRS complex and the number of animals with pathologic Q wave were evaluated for statistical analysis. Results Model group showed the elevation of ST segment, significantly prolonged time limit of QRS complex (P<0.01), and no pathologic Q wave showed immediately after operation compared with sham operation group. And all above observational indexes reached the peak at 1st week and declined at 2nd week after operation. Compared with model group at 2nd week after operation, replenishing qi and activating blood (1∶2) group and (2∶1) group all presented remarkable dropping of ST segment, shortening in time limit of QRS complex and reduction in number of rats with pathologic Q wave, of which 2∶1 group showed the most (P<0.01). Activating blood group only displayed decreases in time limit of QRS and number of rats with pathologic Q wave (P<0.05), and no significant decline in ST segment. Replenishing qi group demonstrated no significant changes in above three observational indexes (P>0.05). Thus, we proposed the criterion for the ECG diagnosis of rats MI as well as the criterion for the ECG assessment of drug therapeutic effects of rats MI. Conclusion ECG can overall and sensitively evaluate the evolution and drug therapeutic effects of MI in rats, thus providing a relatively objective and available assessment method for the experimental studies of myocardial ischemic diseases.

Objective:To investigate relationships between social support and dysfunctional cognition, personality disorder in patients with somatoform disorder.Methods:One hundred and four patients with somatoform disorders and 97 healthy subjects were evaluated with the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale (DAS) and Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire (PDQ-4). Social support ratings were compared between patients and healthy controls.The relationship between social support and dysfunctional cognition, personality disorder were analyzed.Results:The scores of social support in all dimensions of patients with somatoform disorder(total score of social support(37.18±8.12), objective social support(8.49±2.83), subjective social support(21.90±5.44), social support utilization(6.79±1.85)) were significantly lower than those in the healthy control group(total score of social support(41.82±6.87), objective social support(9.92±3.38), subjective social support(24.32±4.25), social support utilization(7.59±1.31))( P<0.05). In patients with somatoform disorder, there was a significant negative correlation between the total score of SSRS and the scores of DAS ( r=-0.245, P<0.05) and personality disorder tendency ( r=-0.292, P<0.01). Social support utilization had a significant predictive effect on dysfunctional cognition ( B=-5.384, P=0.007). Conclusion:Social support of patients with somatoform disorder is correlated with dysfunctional cognition and personality disorder tendency, which provides the basis for psychological intervention such as group and family psychotherapy.

Objective To study the inhibitory activities of 3-O-β-chacotriosyl glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives against the entry of SARS-CoV-2 into host cells.Methods With pentacyclic triterpene saponin glycyrrhizic acid(a natural SARS-CoV-2 entry inhibitor)as the lead compound,a series of 3-O-β-chacotriosyl glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives were designed and synthesized based on hypridization principle,and their inhibitory activities against virus entry were tested in SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus-infected cells.The antiviral targets of the lead compound 1b was identified by pseudotyped SARS-CoV-2 infection assay and surface plasmon resonance(SPR)assay,and the S protein-mediated cell-cell fusion assay was used to evaluate the effect of 1b on virus-cell membrane fusion.Molecular docking and single amino acid mutagenesis were carried out to analyze the effect of 1b on binding activitiy of S protein.Results The lead compound 1b showed significant inhibitory effect against Omicron pseudovirus with an EC50 value of 3.28μmol/L(P<0.05),and had broad-spectrum antiviral activity against other SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus.Spike-dependent cell-cell fusion assay demonstrated an inhibitory effect of 1b against SARS-CoV-2 S protein-mediated cell-cell fusion.Molecular docking analysis predicted that the lead compound 1b could be well fitted into a cavity between the attachment(S1)and fusion(S2)subunits at the 3-fold axis,where it formed multiple hydrophobic interactions with Glu309,Ser305,Arg765 and Lys964 residues with a KD value of-8.6 kcal/mol.The compound 1b at 10,5,2.5 and 1.25 μmol/L showed a significantly reduced inhibitory activity against the pseudovirus with mutated Arg765,Lys964,Glu309 and Leu303(P<0.01).Conclusion 3-O-β-chacotriosyl glycyrrhetinic acid derivatives are capable of stabilizing spike protein in the pre-fusion step to interfere with the fusion of SARS-CoV-2 with host cell membrane,and can thus serve as potential novel small-molecule SARS-CoV-2 fusion inhibitors.
