Objective To investigate the features and neural mechanisms of sustained attention and executive function in patients with acute mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) by comparing and analyzing behavioral and event-related potentials of patients and healthy controls.Methods Seventeen patients with acute mTBI and seventeen healthy controls participated in a cued continuous performance test.Behavioral data and event-related potentials were collected and analyzed.Results 1.There were significant differences between the mTBI group and the control group in hitting number ((66.76±3.27), (69.12± 1.41)) ,reaction time((533.66±144.20) ms, (413.03±94.57) ms) and the number of errors of omission ((3.24±3.27), (0.88± 1.41)) (P<0.05), but no significant differences in the number of false errors ((0.35±1.00), (0.53±0.87)) (P>0.05).2.The amplitude of Go-N2 and Nogo-N2 were significantly smaller in mTBI group than that in control group (P<0.05).The main effect of group was significant of N2 amplitude (P<0.05), but main effect of condition and the interaction effect were not significant(P>0.05).Group and condition had no significant main effect and interaction effect on the latency of N2 (P>0.05).The amplitude of Go-P3 was significantly smaller in mTBI group than that in control group (P<0.05),while not on the amplitude of Nogo-P3(P>0.05).The main effect of group and condition were significant on P3 amplitude (P<0.05),but the interaction effect was not significant(P>0.05).Group and condition had no significant main effect and interaction effect on the amplitude of P3 (P>0.05).Conclusion Patients with mTBI show impairments in sustained attention and conflict monitoring, but not in response inhibition.

Objective:To establish the high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprint of Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus, and to search for makers to characterize the quality difference of Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus from different origins coupled with chemometrics. Method:The analysis was performed on a Thermo Hypersil GOLD C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.05% phosphoric acid solution for gradient elution, and the detection wavelength was set at 254 nm. A total of 31 batches of samples were analyzed to establish the HPLC fingerprint of Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus. Similarity evaluation was performed by Traditional Chinese Medicine Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2012 edition) to confirm the common peaks, which were identified by comparison of reference substances. On the basis, chemometrics methods were used to analyze and evaluate the quality of Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus from different origins. At the same time, 3 batches of 5 species of decoction pieces from the genus
