An HPLC method was established to simultaneously determine the five sesquiterpene lactones, carabrone, carabrol, 2-desoxy-4-epi-pulchellin, telekinand 11(13)-dehydroivaxillin in Carpesium abrotanoides. Samples were analyzed on a kromasil C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 µm); mobile phase: A was acetonitrile, B was water, with gradient elution; flow speed: 1.0 mL · min(-1); detection was carried out using a photodiode array detector at 211 nm; temperatureof column: 30 °C. The five sesquiterpene lactones were well separated with good linear correlations in the range of 0.270-2.700 (r = 0.999 7 ), 1.336-13.360 (r = 0.999 6), 0.258-2.580 (r = 0.999 7), 0.238-2.380 (r = 0.999 9), 0.490-4.900 µg (r = 0.999 9) for carabrone, carabrol, 2-desoxy-4-epi-pulchellin, telekin and 11 (13) -dehydroivaxillin. The average recoveries of these five sesquiterpene lactoneswere 96.78%-98.41% (RSD 1.3%-2.9%). The method was simple, repeatable and stable, which could be used for quality control of C. abrotanoide.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging in predicting the efficacy of distinguishing benign from malignant soft tissue tumor Methods Dynamic contrast enhanced MR imaging was performed in 30 patients with pathologically confirmed soft tissue tumors The MR signal intensity of the ROI was plotted The slope value of the time intensity curve was analyzed Results There was significant difference between the slope value of benign and malignant lesions Based on the slope value of half minute, differentiation of benign from malignant lesions was possible with 90 9% of the sensitivity, 89 4% of the specificity, 83 3% of the positive predictive value and 94 4% of the negative predictive value Conclusion Dynamic contrast enhance MR imaging can correctly predict benignity or malignance of soft tissue tumors

Objective To investigate the protective effect of chloroquine on endotoxemia mice and its inhibition on the release of cytokines induced by LPS. Methods A total of 40 mice of Kunming species were randomly divided into four groups: LPS group received LPS at 10 mg/kg, chloroquine group received chloroquine at 20 mg/kg, LPS plus chloroquine group received chloroquine at 20 mg/kg first, then LPS at 10 mg/kg and control group received only 0.9%sodium chloride at 200 ?l/20 g. The mortality was observed within seven days after injection via caudal vein. ANA 1 cell lines were cultivated in vitro . After chloroquine was first added into the cells for 3 hours, the releases of TNF ? and IL 6 in the supernatants induced by different concentrations of LPS were measured. Results Chloroquine could decrease the death of mice due to endotoxin. Mortality dropped from 100% to 50% ( P

Objective　To detect the features of MRI of children leukodystriphies and to provide a heplful method for clinical diagnosis.Methods　The MRI examination was performed in 50 children with leukodystrophies and the cerebral lobes and cerebral special structures involved by lesions were analyzed.Results　1.There were dominant signs of involving parietal and occipital lobes in ALD,besides the two lobes,the frontal lobe was also involved easily in MLD.All lobes were involved in CD and PMD,and frontal lobe was involved in AD early.The central white matter was involved mainly in ALD,but the central white matter was involed only in MLD and the periphery white matter was spared.The central and periphery white matter were all involved in CD,PMD and AD.Furthermore,the cerebellar white matter is also easily involved in ALD and CD.2.The splenium of corpus callosum was mainly involved in ALD,and the splenium,body and knee of corpus callosum were all involved in MLD.But in CD,PMD and AD,the corpus callosum was spared.The back of the posterior limb of internal capsule was involved in ALD,but the all posterior limb of internal capsule was involved in MLD,and the all internal capsule was involved in CD and PMD.On external capsule,ALD involves its posterior part,but CD and PMD involve its all section.A prominet feature of ALD was involving the corticospinal tract of stem and other leukodystrophies don′t involve the corticospinal tract of stem beside one case later-onset GLD.In addition,the lateral lemmiscus was involved easily in ALD,and thalamus was also involved in ALD,MLD and PMD.Conclusion　As a noninvasive,safe and sensitive method,MRI can be used to find the leukodystrophies early.There are relatively characteristic features in different leokodystrophies,which is useful to clinical diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the situation of subjective well-being feeling of type 2 diabetes patients and its influential factors.Methods One hundred and twenty-seven patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited as our subjects and all of them were performed the questionnaire investigation about well-being feeling.Influential factors were analyzed through several statistic methods.Results The index of subject wellbeing ranged from 3.70 to 13.70 and the average was 10.67 ± 2.10 of all type 2 diabetes patients.Of which The index of total affectation was 5.11 ± 0.92 and the range was from 2.63 to 6.63.The score of life satisfaction was 5.58 ± 1.22,and the range was from 1.10 to 7.70.Index of subjective well-being significantly associated with education,family income,therapy approach,HbA1 c level,complication,medicine burden.However there was no correlation with gender,age,diabetes duration.Conclusion The main types of subjective well-being feeling of patients with type 2 diabetes were positive effect and positive experience.Many factors could be the influence factor to well-being.Measures should be taken to improve Subjective well-being of type 2 diabetes patients.

Objective To analyze cancer incidence and mortality in Fujian in 2012 and to provide sci-entific basis for tumor prevention .Methods In accordance with the methods and criteria of data quality control made by NCCR,7 regristries data qualified from 9 submitted regritries in Fujian after data assessment were mer-ged and analyzed.Results In 2012,the cancer incidence rate was 251.44/105 (308.44/105 in male and 193.03/105 in female),age standardized incidence by Chinese standard population (ASR China)and by world standard population(ASR world)were 205.15/105 and 201.11/105.The cumulative incidence(0~74 age)was 23.51%.The mortality rate was 161.85/105(220.87/105 in male and 101.37/105 in female).ASR China and ASR world were 128.54/105 and 127.70/105 the cumulative incidence(0~74 age)was 15.04%.The age-spe-cific incidence and mortality reached maximum value in 75 ages and 80 ages respectively .The top 5 cancer inci-dences were lung cancer ,stomach cancer ,liver cancer ,esophagus cancer and breast cancer .The top 5 cancer mor-tality were lung cancer ,liver cancer ,stomach cancer ,esophagus cancer and colorectum cancer .Conclusion Di-gestive malignancies ,lung cancer ,and breast cancer in female were the most frequent in Fujian province ,and the prevention and control for those cancers should be enhanced .

In this article we analyzed the current development of moxibustion treating rheumatoid arthritis from the usefulness, advancement, synergistic effect as well as the variance between different kind of moxibustion. We concluded that moxibustion was an effective intervention for treating RA, and the methods used in moxibustion were searched in clinic. But the clinical tralls has a long way to go, we should pay more attention to the critical issues while in the use of moxibustion.

Objective To investigate the effect of blood pressure control for early enlargement of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Methods A total of 96 patients were divided randomly into intensive blood pressure lowering group (n = 48 )and standard antihypertensive group(n=48).Patients were checked head CT and was evaluated defect of nerve function score immedi-ately when they arrive at hospital and after 24 hours.Then the clinical curative effect was evaluated.Results The defect of nerve function score in intensive blood pressure lowering group was lower than that of the standard antihypertensive group(P <0.05 ). The hematomas volume within 24 hours of admission and the rate of hematoma enlargement of intensive blood pressure lowering group were sharply smaller than those of standard antihypertensive group(P <0.05).Conclusion Controlling blood pressure ac-tively could decrease ratio early enlargement of hematoma and defect of nerve function score in patients with hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.
