The peak area of vitexin was the biggest area in different batches of YSC Tablets, the area being 22 %～25 %. The differences of fingerprint in different batches of YSC Tablets were not obvious, which indicated the fingerprint characteristics of YSC Tablets.Conclusion The method is simple and accurate and with a good reproducibility and can be used for the quality control of YSC Tablets.

A 18-year-old male patient's case was diagnosed as Degos'disease with pathognomonic skin lesions,accompanied by small bowel perforation,and reported here. Skin histopothological test show that the typical wedge-shaped necrobiosis and lymphocyte inflammatory infiltration. Vessels showed narrowing and thrombosis,with lymphocyte infiltration. Degos'disease is a systemic necrotizing vasculitis. Skin biopsy can confirm its diagnosis. Severe systemic complication should be prevented. Degos'disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of skin lesions associated with systemic involvement.

Objective To explore the expression of aquaporin (AQP)-4 in white matter of spinal cord after spinal cord contusion (SCC). Methods 88 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned randomly to sham operation group and SCC group. The model was established by Al-len's method. BBB sore was used to assess the motor function of rats. The relative expression of AQP-4 mRNA was determined by Q-PCR technique. The localization of AQP-4 was observed by immunohistochemistry. Results BBB score showed motor dysfunction in SCC group, and it increased 7 and 14 days after SCC (t>5.061, P<0.001). The level of AQP-4 mRNA decreased on the 1st and 3rd days (t>50.44, P<0.001), and increased on the 5th day (t=-3.968, P=0.001), and lasted until the 28th day (t=-4.227, P=0.001) compared with that on the 3rd day. The immunohistochemistry showed AQP-4 was located on the process of glial cell and vascular endothelial cells in white matter of spi-nal cord. Conclusion AQP-4 may play various roles at different stages in SCC.

Hydrophidae, one of the precious traditional Chinese medicines, is generally drily preserved to prevent corruption, but it is hard to identify the species of Hydrophidae through the appearance because of the change due to the drying process. The identification through analysis on gene barcode, a new technique in species identification, can avoid the problem. The gene barcodes of the 6 species of Hydrophidae like Lapemis hardwickii were aquired through DNA extraction and gene sequencing. These barcodes were then in sequence alignment and test the identification efficency by BLAST. Our results revealed that the barcode sequences performed high identification efficiency, and had obvious difference between intra- and inter-species. These all indicated that Cyt b DNA barcoding can confirm the Hydrophidae identification.

Objective To evaluate the systolic function of left ventricle in myocardial infarction(MI)patients with ventricular aneurysm and the changing law of blood flow in ventricle with regional abnormality of wall movement by vector flow mapping (VFM).Methods Tirty-one MI patients with ventricular aneurysm and 35 healthy participants were enrolled in this study.The characteristic of vector and streamline,and the changing of the velocity gradient in left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), and the average flow quantity through aneurysm neck were detected in the isovolumic contraction period, the rapid ejection period and the slow ejection period by VFM.Results The distinction between aneurysm and control group was mainly the persistance of vortex in aneurysm.The size of vortex in aneurysm was highly correlated with that measured by 2-D ultrasound(P ＜0.01).The percentage of vortex duration to cardiac cycle in patients group was significantly greater than that in control group(P ＜0.01).In the early systolic contraction the velocity gradient in LVOT in patients with ventricular aneurysm was smaller than that of control group(P ＜0.05).The average flow through aneurysm neck was notablely decreased compared with control group(P ＜0.01).Conclusions VFM can reveal the hemodynamics of left ventricle with aneurysm directly as well as quantitively measure the regional velocity and flow quantity.VFM can evaluate the systolic function of left ventricle exactly.

Objective To explore the early diagnosis, option of the surgical procedures, preven-tion and treatment of the complications in patients with pancreatic trauma.Methods All patients with pancreatic trauma during the past 20 years were studied retrospectively in respect of sex, age, cause of injury, grade by AAST, style of operation, therapeutic efficacy, complications and factors for death etc.Statistical analysis was made with Chi-square test.Results In all 148 cases of the present series, 132 underwent surgical interventions including simple suture or external drainage alone, distal pancre-atectomy, distal pancreaticojejunostomy or other internal drainage, diverticularization, Whipple's pro-cedure, and Damage Control Surgery (DCS) etc.Postoperative morbidity was 27.83% with a signifi-cant difference of the incidence of pancreatic fistula between pancreas grade Ⅲ-Ⅴ injuries and grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ(P＜0.01).The mortality rate was 11.49%.The cause of the deaths was mainly massive bleed-ing due to severe associated injuries(76.47%).Among various grades, the difference of the mortality was not significant (P＞0.05).Conclusion To improve the survival rate, it is important to control massive hemorrhage from associated injuries precedes dealing with pancreas trauma.Selection of surgi-cal procedures should be based on whether the main duct is injured.The removing of devitalized tis-sue, adequate external and internal drainage are essential for treatment of pancreatic injuries.Early recognition of pancreatic injury and correct choice of surgical procedures may obviously decrease the in-cidence of postoperative complications.
