This study was aimed to optimize extraction techniques of Compound Rhubarb Enema. Based on the for-mula principle of Compound Rhubarb Enema, effects of the amount of water, soaking time, extraction time and fre-quency on each index were studied. The content of Aloe-emodin, Rhein, Emodin, Chrysophanol, Physcion, Citric acid, and water soluble substance were taken into consideration. The best extraction condition was optimized by using the orthogonal test coupled with the multi-index comprehensive evaluation. The results showed that the best condi-tion was soaking for 10 min, extraction time for 60 min, extraction for 3 times; and 6 times of water was added. It was concluded that this preparation techniques were feasible and reliable for the manufacturing process of Compound Rhubarb Enema.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the association between ABCB1 gene polymorphisms and adriamycin and cyclophospha-mide(AC)combined with chemotherapy-induced severe neutropenia in patients with breast cancer. METHODS:218 breast cancer patients receiving AC combined with chemotherapy were selected from our hospital during 2012-2015;PCR-RFLP was used to de-tect polymorphisms of ABCB1 2677G>T/A and 3435C>T. The associated between different age,BMI,clinical stages genotypes, etc and AC combined with chemotherapy-induced severe neutropenia were investigated,and risk factors of neutropenia were ana-lyzed by multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS:Among 218 breast cancer patients,170 patients suffered from severe neutrope-nia,accounting for 78.0%. Among ABCB1 2677G>T/A polymorphisms,distribution frequency of GT or GA genotype,TT,TA or AA genotype,GG genotype in severe neutropenia were 80.6%,86.2% and 60.0%,with statistical significance (P<0.05). Among ABCB1 3435C>T polymorphisms,distribution frequency of TT,CT and CC genotype in severe neutropenia were 86.4%, 78.4% and 72.7%,there was no statistical significance(P>0.05). AST and ABCB1 2677G>T/A polymorphisms were correlated with severe neutropenia (P<0.05),and ABCB1 2677G>T/A polymorphism was a strong predictor of neutropenia [OR=3.875, 95%CI(1.555,9.922),P=0.008]. CONCLUSIONS:ABCB1 2677>T/A polymorphisms may be aggravate AC combined with che-motherapy-induced neutropenia in patients with breast cancer.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) ventilation and heated humidified high flow nasal cannula (HHHFNC) ventilation as initial respiratory support for premature infants with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS).Methods:From January 2019 to June 2021, premature infants [gestational age (GA) 28~35 weeks)] with grade Ⅰ to Ⅲ RDS admitted to Suining County People's Hospital were prospectively enrolled. The infants were randomly assigned into BiPAP group and HHHFNC group. The clinical characteristics, ventilation efficacy and complications were analyzed.Results:A total of 33 infants were in BiPAP group and 32 in HHHFNC group. No significant differences existed between the two groups in the following items: the frequency of apnea within 24 h of ventilation, FiO 2 and PaCO 2 at 24 h, the use of pulmonary surfactant (PS), the incidence of non-invasive ventilation failure within 72 h, non-invasive ventilation duration and the age achieving total enteral nutrition. HHHFNC group had lower score in premature infants pain profile (PIPP) than BiPAP group at 24 h of non-invasive ventilation [4 (3, 6) vs. 8 (6, 11), P<0.001]. No significant differences existed in nasal injury, pneumothorax, intraventricular hemorrhage, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and mortality rate between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:As the initial treatment for premature infants with grade Ⅰ to Ⅲ RDS, BiPAP and HHHFNC has similar rates of non-invasive ventilation failure within 72 h,non-invasive ventilation duration and adverse events. HHHFNC may ease the pain of the infants.
