Objective The study aimed to investigate the best extraction process and the analgesia and anti-inflammatory properties of total flavonoids from Euphorbia prolifera. Methods Through single factor experiment and orthogonal test,factors that affect the extraction yield of total flavonoids were studied,including the extraction time,solid to liquid ratio, ethanol concentration and extraction times. The mice models of ear edema induced by xylene and twisting induced by acetic acid were used to evaluate the analgesia and anti-inflammatory effects of different extractions from Euphorbia prolifera. Results Total flavonoids were extracted by the refluxing method,and the optimum conditions were extracting for 3 hours,solid to liquid ratio of 1:30,ethanol content of 60% in the solvent,and processed for 2 times. The highest extraction yield of total flavonoids from Euphorbia prolifera was 5. 63%. The ethanol,ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts decreased twisting and ear swelling in mice. Conclusion The extraction for total flavonoids from Euphorbia prolifera is simple,efficient and reproducible. The ethanol,ethyl acetate and n-butanol extracts of total flavonoids have obvious analgesia and anti-inflammatory effects.

This article was aimed to study the different clinical characteristics using drug pair of Cassia twig and white peony root with the contents ratio of 1:1 and 1:2. Based on the different clinical treatment of drug pair of Cas-sia twig and white peony root, different compositional ingredients in ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 were illuminated by HPLC/MS method. The drug pair of Cassia twig and white peony roots in ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 and single herbs were ex-tracted for HPLC/MS analysis. A protocol was followed, including acetonitrile - 0.1% acetic acid with gradient elution, positive mode, 350℃ capillary temperature and 300℃ vaporization temperature. The results showed that Procyanidol B2 and 2-Hydroxy cinnamal dehyde can be extracted from single Cassia twig, but 2-Hydroxy cinna-mal dehyde cannot be detected in drug pair. It showed the contents of Procyanidol B2 in 1:1 ratio was more than 1:2 ratio. Simultaneously, Palbinone, paeoniflorin sulfonate, 1,2,3,6-Tetra-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, Paeoniflorin, Pae-oniflorin isomers, Benzoylpaeo-niflorin, and Benzoyl Paeoniflorin isomers can also be dissolved in white peony root. In addition, the contents of 1,2,3,6-Tetra-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, Paeoniflorin, Benzoylpaeo-niflorin, and Benzoyl Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:1 were more than 1:2. The contents of Palbinone, paeoniflorin sulfonate and Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:2 were more than 1:1. It was concluded that Procyanidol B2, 1,2,3,6-Tetra-O-galloyl-β-D-glucose, Paeoniflorin, Benzoylpaeo-niflorin and Benzoyl Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:1 were more than 1:2. The contents of Pal-binone, Paeoniflorin sulfonate and Paeoniflorin isomers in 1:2 were more than 1:1. It provided a scientific basis for traditional Chinese medicine treatment using rational drug pair.

Objective To determine the expression of indole-2,3 dioxygenase (IDO) in human acute leukemia,and to investigate its correlations with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in acute leukemia.Methods The expression of IDO in protein and RNA levels was detected by immunohistochemistry and real-time quantitative RT-PCR,respectively,and the correlations of IDO with clinicopathologic features and prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-M5 were analyzed.Results The positive rate of IDO protein was 63.3 ％ (38/60) in human acute leukemia,while it in AML (34/49,69.4 ％),especially in AML-M5 patients (29/35,82.9 ％),was significantly higher than that of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (4/11,36.4 ％).The expression of IDO protein in healthy human peripheral blood mononuclear cells was negative.The RNA expression level of IDO in AML-M5 or non AML-M5 patients were significantly higher than that of healthy people (P ＜ 0.001),and AML-M5 patients had significantly higher IDO RNA level than that in non AML-M5 patients (P ＜ 0.05).The IDO gene expression was not correlated with sex,age and drug sensitivity,while it was closely related with these factors in the patients without complication of pulmonary infection.IDO could not act as an independent prognostic marker.Conclusion The expression of IDO in AML-M5 patients is significantly higher than that in non AML-M5 patients and healthy people.The positive expression of IDO is associated with poor prognosis of AML-M5 patients,but it is not an independent poor prognostic indicator.

Objective To explore the correlation of the myeloid antigen expression and clinical characteristics of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) in children.Methods The clinical data of 77 newly diagnosed ALL patients in Department of Hematology,the People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University from Jan.2010 to Dec.2013 were analyzed.The patients included 53 boys and 24 girls with a median age of 7.73 (2.00-15.00) years old.Based on flow cytometry (FCM) analysis of bone marrow,these patients were divided into 2 groups:one group included 26 patients with positive myeloid antigen expression (MyAg + ALL) and the other group included 51 patients with negative myeloid antigen expressions (MyAg-ALL).The correlation among myeloid antigen expression,clinical features,prednisone experiment,myelogram on the 15th day was analyzed through induction chemotherapy and minimal residual disease (MRD) on the 33rd day,and the rate of disease-free survival (DFS) was compared between the 2 groups.Results There were 26 cases with myeloid antigen expression among 77 patients (33.77％),CD13 + accounting for 19.48％ (15/77 cases),CD33 + 10.39％ (8/77 cases),and CD117 + 5.19％ (4/77 cases).Among these patients,there were 2 patients expressing both CD13 + and CD33 +,and 1 patient expressing both CD33 + and CD117 +.There was no difference between the MyAg + ALL group and MyAg-ALL group in gender (x2 =0.217,P =0.641),age (≥ 10 years old,x2 =0.011,P =0.918),white blood count(≥50 × 109/L,x2 =1.198,P =0.274),lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) (≥500 U/L,x2 =0.317,P =0.573),genetic abnormality (x2 =0.377,P =0.539),immunophenotype (B-ALL/T-ALL,x2 =0.397,P =0.529),and risk stratification (low-risk group,middle-risk group and high-risk group,x2 =0.260,P =0.878).Univariate Logistic regression showed that the reaction rate of prednisone experiment (P =0.023,OR =3.422) and positive rate of MRD (P =0.001,OR =0.133) of MyAg + ALL group were obviously higher than those in MyAg-ALL group.Multivariate Logistic regression showed that positive rate of MRD in CD13 + ALL group was obviously higher than that of CD13-ALL group (P =0.034,OR =120.765).The DFS rate of CD13 + ALL group and CD13-ALL group were (50.4 ± 13.8)％ and (77.4 ±6.7)％ respectively,and there was a significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =3.928,P =0.047).Conclusions There is no significant correlation between myeloid antigen expression and clinical characteristics of children patients with ALL.For the patients with myeloid antigens,the early reaction of induction chemotherapy is bad,and for patients with CD13,the prognosis is not good.

Objective:To explore the application effect of the intelligent interactive health education model in the health management of the smokers with high-risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:From September 2019 to January 2020, 72 smokers with high-risk of COPD were recruited from Health Management Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical Universit y. The subjects were randomly divided into traditional group (35 cases) and intelligent group (37 cases) according to the intervention model. The traditional group used the method of mailing health education materials, while the intelligent group sent health education materials with the help of mobile intelligent platform for interactive feedback and intervention. After 12 weeks of intervention, the subjects′ nicotine dependence, international physical activity, population satisfaction, time consumption for follow-up and other indicators were compared. Results:After the intervention, the score of nicotine dependence in the intelligent group was lower than that in the traditional group [(1.86±1.48) vs (3.77±1.66), P<0.05], the number of smoking cessation cases was more than that in the traditional group (11 vs 1, P<0.05), the number of cases with significant improvement in the score of international physical strength scale was significantly improved than that in the traditional group (15 vs 0, P<0.01), and the satisfaction was higher than that in the traditional group (97.30% vs 42.85%, P<0.01), and the time consumption was less than that in the traditional group [(18.03±2.96) vs (25.14±2.64) min, P<0.01]. Conclusion:The intelligent interactive health education model can improve the health education effect of the smokers with high risk of developing COPD, and improve the health behavior of the population.

Inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a toxic metalloid found ubiquitously in the environment. In humans, exposure to iAs can result in toxicity and cause toxicological manifestations. Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) has been used in the treatment for acute promyelocytic leukemia. The kidney is the critical target organ of trivalent inorganic As (iAsIII) toxicity. We examine if oral administration of astaxanthin (AST) has protective effects on nephrotoxicity and oxidative stress induced by As2O3 exposure (via intraperitoneal injection) in rats. Markers of renal function, histopathological changes, Na+-K+ ATPase, sulfydryl, oxidative stress, and As accumulation in kidneys were evaluated as indicators of As2O3 exposure. AST showed a significant protective effect against As2O3-induced nephrotoxicity. These results suggest that the mechanisms of action, by which AST reduces nephrotoxicity, may include antioxidant protection against oxidative injury and reduction of As accumulation. These findings might be of therapeutic benefit in humans or animals suffering from exposure to iAsIII from natural sources or cancer therapy.

Objective:To analyze the influence of lifestyle changes on body weight and metabolic parameters during the early stage of corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) epidemic and regular epidemic prevention period in physical examination population.Methods:A total of 801 subjects from Nanjing enterprises and institutions who underwent physical examination in the Department of Health Promotion Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University in May of 2019 to 2021 were included in this study. The basic information and data of body mass index, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride and uric acid were collected. Information about dietary and exercise habits was obtained through pre-examination questionnaires. The data of 2019 was set as baseline data, data of 2020 represented information during the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic and data of 2021 represented information in regular epidemic prevention period. The subjects were divided into underweight group, normal weight group, overweight group, and obese group according to the body mass index at baseline. The Friedman test was applied to compare changes in body mass index and metabolic parameters across the population. Chi-square test was used to compare changes in dietary and exercise habits. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was adopted to explore the influencing factors of body mass index changes.Results:During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic, the proportion of weight gain was the highest in the underweight group (42.9%), the proportion of weight loss was the highest in the overweight group (24.2%), and the obese group has the most stable body weight (70.6%) ( P=0.004). Men ( OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.36-0.87) were less likely to gain weight than women ( P=0.010). There was no significant differences in weight change among all groups in the regular epidemic prevention period ( P=0.380). During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic, the levels of fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-C were significantly lower than those of baseline [4.98 (4.66, 5.42) vs 5.23 (4.91, 5.66) mmol/L, 4.98 (4.36, 5.67) vs 5.11 (4.54, 5.77) mmol/L, 2.90 (2.45, 3.33) vs 3.23 (2.77, 3.74) mmol/L], and the uric acid level was higher [333.0 (275.5, 397.0) vs 311.0 (257.5, 368.0) μmol/L] (all P<0.001). In regular epidemic prevention period, the levels of body mass index, fasting blood glucose, total cholesterol and LDL-C were significantly higher than those in the early stage of the epidemic [24.0 (21.9, 26.3) vs 23.8 (21.7, 26.1) kg/m 2, 5.18 (4.85, 5.62) vs 4.98 (4.66, 5.42) mmol/L, 5.12 (4.42, 5.76) vs 4.98 (4.36, 5.67) mmol/L, 3.06 (2.59, 3.57) vs 2.90 (2.45, 3.33) mmol/L], while the uric acid was significantly lower [319.0 (265.0, 377.0) vs 333.0 (275.5, 397.0) μmol/L] (all P<0.001). During the early stage of the epidemic, the reduction proportion of unhealthy diet in the home group was significantly higher than that in the outing group (19.5% vs 11.4%), and the increment proportion of exercise in the outing group was significantly higher than that in the home group (5.1% vs 1.6%) (both P<0.05). In regular epidemic prevention period, the increase rate of unhealthy diet in the home group was significantly higher than that in the outing group (26.8% vs 13.0%) ( P<0.001), and there was no significant difference in exercise between the two groups ( P=0.325). During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic and in the regular epidemic prevention period, unhealthy diet>3 times per week ( OR=3.85, 3.01, 95% CI: 1.74-8.51, 1.41-6.39) was positively correlated with weight gain, and regular exercise ( OR=4.35, 2.61, 95% CI: 2.05-9.23, 1.15-5.91) was positively correlated with weight loss (all P<0.05). Conclusions:During the early stage of COVID-19 epidemic and in the regular epidemic prevention period, the lifestyle in the physical examination population has an impact on body weight and metabolic indicators. In the early stage of the epidemic, unhealthy diet and exercise decreased, and metabolic indicators such as blood glucose and lipids decreased. People with low body weight tend to gain weight. In the regular epidemic prevention period, the subjects′ exercise increased but unhealthy diet also increased, and blood glucose, lipid and body weight elevated significantly.
