The aim of this study was to look for the chemical constituents from the rhizomes of Dryopteris sublaeta. The fresh plant was extracted twice with boiling water, the extract was concentrated to small volume under reduced pressure at 50 ℃. The concentrated material was partitioned with ether, ethyl acetate and n-butanol. The fraction of ethyl acetate was repeatedly chromatographied over silica gel and Sephadex LH-20 columns. Structures of pure compounds were established on the basis of their physiochemical and spectral data. Nine compounds were obtained and identified as sublaetentin A (1), sublaetentin B (2), sublaetentin C (3), sublaetentin D (4), matteuorienate A (5), matteuorienate C (6), arbutin (7), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (8) and 3,4-dimethoxyphenyl-1-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (9). Compounds 1-4 are new compounds, the others were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Objective To examine the association of urinary neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin(NGAL) and interleukin 18(IL-18) with acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients after cardiac surgery. Methods Thirty-three patients undergone cardiac surgery were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to the AKI criteria. The Scr, urinary NGAL and IL-18 were measured at different time points. Results Nine of 33 patients (27.27%)developed postoperative AKI, and Scr concentration in AKI group reached its peak within 12-48 hours after cardiac surgery. Urinary concentrations of NGAL and IL-18 at 2 h and 4 h after cardiac surgery were significantly higher than those before operation in AKI patients (P<0.01). The urinary concentrations of NGAL at each time point and that of IL-18 at 2 h and 4 h after cardiac surgery in AKI patients were significantly higher than those in non-AKI patients. After correction by urinary creatinine, the differences of NGAL/Ucr and IL-18/Ucr ratios were still significant (P< 0.01). For concentrations of urinary NGAL, IL-18 and ratios of NGAL/Ucr, IL-18/Ucr at 2 h after surgery, sensitivities and specificities were good with cutoff values at 250 μg/L, 250 μg/mmol and 1800 ng/L, 1800 ng/mmol, respectively. Urinary concentration of NGAL at 2 h after cardiac surgery was positively correlated with Scr at 12 h postoperation in AKI group (r=0.638, P<0.05).Conclusions The incidence of AKI in patients after cardiac surgery is quite high. Urinary concentrations of NGAL, IL-18 and ratios of NGAL/Ucr, IL-18/Ucr at 2 h after cardiac surgery are the early diagnostic markers for AKI, among which urinary NGAL/Ucr is the most sensitive one.

Objective To investigate incidence and related factors of dysphagia after fusion with an anterior cervical plate plus cage or a stand-alone cage (Zero-p cage) following anterior cervical discectomy procedure for treating multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM).Methods From September 2008to September 2011,226 patients with MCSM underwent anterior cervical discectomy and fusion using an anterior cervical plate plus cage (118 patients,P&C group) or a stand-alone cage (108 patients,Zero-p group).Neurological function was evaluated by Japan orthopedic association (JOA) scores before and after operation.Cervical X-rays were taken to assess the graft fusion,internal fixation related complications and the thickness of the prevertebral soft tissue.The Bazaz dysphagia score and Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire were used to assess the incidence and degree of dysphagia.Results The average follow-up time was 2.4years (range,1.0 to 3.5 years).The incidence of dysphagia was 41.53% in P&C group,while 33.33% in Zero-p group at 2 days after operation.The thickness of the prevertebral soft tissue in P&C group was significantly thicker than that in Zero-p group at 2 days and 2 months after surgery.In Zero-p group,the incidence of dysphagia was 43.1% in patients who underwent operation from C3 to C6,while 22% in patients who underwent operation from C4 to C7.Conclusion Dysphagia is common after multilevel anterior cervical discectomy and fusion.The choice of implants and the extent of operation are important influencing factors of postoperative dysphagia.The use of stand-alone cage can decrease the incidence of dysphagia.The operation at higher levels has a higher incidence of dysphagia.

Objective To observe the effect of Ningxia aqueous extracts of fruitless lycium sprout (AEFLS) on cardiomyo cyte antioxidation and apoptosis-related protein expression in aging mice.Methods The natural aging C57BL/6J mice with 13 months old were randomly divided into aged control group,AEFLS low dose group (AEFLS1),AEFLS middle dose group (AEFLS2)and AEFLS high dose group(AEFLS3).The AEFLS1,AEFLS2 and AEFLS3 groups were respectively given with 5,10,20 mg/kg AEFLS gavage,while the aged control group was given with the normal saline gavage,for continuous8 weeks.The xan thine oxidase assay and thiobarbituric acid method were used for the determination of SOD and MDA in heart tissues.Western-blot and immunohistochemical method were used to detect the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax and Capase-3 in heart tissue.Results Compared with the aged control group,the MDA level in the AEFLS2 and AEFLS3 groups was decreased,while the SOD activity was increased,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).The Western-blot result showed that compared with the aged control group,the optical density value of Bcl-2 in the AEFLS2 and AEFLS3 groups was increased,but the optical density values of Bax and Capase-3 were decreased (P<0.01);the immunohistochemical results showed that compared with the aged control group,the immunopositive(IP) expressions of Bcl-2 protein in heart tissues in the AEFLS2 and AEFLS3 groups were increased (P<0.01),while the IP expressions of Bax and Capase-3 were decreased (P<0.01).Conclusion Middle and high doses of AEFLS can increase the antioxidative ability of myocardial tissue,up-regulates the Bcl-2 expression,down-regulates the Bax and Capase-3 expressions and plays anti-cardiomyocyte apoptotic role.

Objective:To investigate any change in the effective connectivity between the bilateral anterior central gyruses after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).Methods:Twenty-one healthy subjects were examined using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) before and after receiving continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS). The brain atlas of the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences was used for fine partitioning of the bilateral anterior central gyruses. Granger causality analysis was used to compare any changes in the effective connectivity between them.Results:After the cTBS inhibited the right M1 area, significant changes in effective connectivity among the sub-regions of the bilateral M1 area were observed. The effective connectivity of the right upper limb to the left upper limb and the left head to face were weakened, while that of the left upper limb to the right head, as well as of the face to the right upper limb was enhanced.Conclusion:For people whose right M1 area has been inhibited by cTBS, the effective connectivity changes in both upper limb functional areas of the M1 region reflect inter-hemispheric inhibition. Opposite changes were found in the trunk and upper limbs.

Obej ctive Knockout mice are widely used in the studies of joint diseases .This article investigated the effects of joint processing methods , collagenase types ,and collagenase digestion time on the number of primary fibroblast -like synoviocytes (FLSs) obtained from mice. Methods The hind legs of 6 of the 12 male mice were cut open from the hip joints , but not those of the other 6.FLSs were isolated using the type-Ⅳcollagenase digestion method and purified by differential digestion .Cell morphology was observed under the inverted microscope .The type, viability, and purity of the cells were determined by flow cytometry . Rse ults Significantly fewer FLSs were obtained from the mice with the hind legs cut open ( 19 133 ±115 ) than from those without (24 933 ± 503) (P<0.05).The numbers of FLSs collected from the cell suspension at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6 , and 7 hours after digestion were 700 ±300 , 600 ±100 , 15 200 ±900 , 5100 ±800 ,2700 ±300 , 900 ±200, and 300 ±100, respectively, the highest at 3 hours. There were statistically significant differences in the total number of FLSs obtained by type-Ⅳ and type-Ⅱ collagenase digestions (24900 ±500v s 18 100 ±400, P<0.05). Conclusion For in virt o culture of primary mouse FLSs, it is recommended that the hip joints be not cut open, and type-Ⅳcollagenase be used with cell sus-pension at 2-6hours after digestion .
