OBJECTIVE: To compare content of anthraquinones in the decoction and maceration of Rheum officinale.METHODS: Aloe emodin and four other components in R.officinale were taken as analysis objects.HPLC was used to determine the content of nomadic anthraquinone,conjugated anthraquinone and total anthraquinone in R.officinale during decoction process and maceration process.RESULTS: The linear range of aloe emodin,rhein,emodin and chrysophanol were 0.03～0.64?g and the linear range of physcion were 0.01～0.34 ?g.The concentration of total anthraquinones in decoction process was much higher than in maceration process.The change of dissolution of nomadic anthraquinones in two processes kept stable with process time.The content of conjugated anthraquinones in two processes was all decreased to some extent.CONCLUSION: The concentrations of anthraquinones in R.officinale are influenced by decoction process and maceration process.

Objective:To investigate procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels in diarrheal patients who underwent irinotecan che-motherapy. Methods:Procalcitonin and C-reactive protein were detected among 85 diarrheal and 63 non-diarrheal patients after irinote-can chemotherapy. Results:According to WHO classification, patients without diarrhea are classified as grade 0, whereas patients with diarrhea can be classified as gradesⅠ-Ⅳ. In grades 0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, andⅣpatients, the levels of procalcitonin were 0.29 ± 0.17, 0.30 ± 0.18, 0.36 ± 0.20, 1.24 ± 0.22, and 2.15 ± 0.26 ng/mL on the second day, respectively. However, on the fourth day, the procalcitonin lev-els were 0.28 ± 0.15, 0.30 ± 0.14, 0.34 ± 0.18, 2.00 ± 0.22, and 2.40 ± 0.28 ng/mL, respectively. Moreover, in grades 0,Ⅰ,Ⅱ,Ⅲ, andⅣ, the levels of C-reactive protein were 6.06 ± 1.85, 6.12 ± 1.16, 6.20 ± 1.68, 22.62 ± 4.55, and 31.26 ± 5.23 mg/L on the second day, respectively. On the fourth day, the C-reactive protein levels were 5.80 ± 1.82, 5.94 ± 1.14, 6.15 ± 1.55, 30.52 ± 4.74, and 38.67 ± 5.68 mg/L, respectively. No significant difference was found between the procalcitonin and C-reactive protein levels of stagesⅠandⅡpa-tients (P>0.05), but a significant difference was found between stagesⅠ, andⅡpatients and stagesⅢandⅣpatients (P<0.05). Con-clusion: Monitoring levels of procalcitonin and C-reactive protein may be helpful in the early evaluation of the severity of diarrhea. This process has prognostic effect and can be used to assess whether patients have enterogenous bacterial infection. Monitoring the lev-els of these proteins has certain clinical value and can be used to guide early anti-infection therapy.

Objective To explore the value of plasma brain natriuretic peptide test in the diagnosis and treatment of elderly heart failure patients with normal ejection fraction,and to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of the disease.Methods 104 patients with heart failure were selected,at the same time,30 elderly patients with normal heart function in our hospital were selected as the control group.The plasma brain natriuretic peptide and cardiac color Doppler ultrasound were examined.The plasma brain natriuretic peptide and left ventricular ejection fraction,left ventricular posterior wall thickness,left ventricular mass index,left ventricular diastolic diameter and ventricular septal thickness were compared between two groups ; at the same time,peptide and left ventricular plasma brain natriuretic ejection fraction were compared in heart failure patients with different levels of NYHA.Results The plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide,left ventricular posterior wall thickness,left ventricular mass index in the heart failure group were (401.37 ± 368.63) ng/L,(13.42 ± 1.33) mm,(130.62 ± 9.18) g/m2,which were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The left ventricular ejection fraction of the heart failure group was (51.36 ±4.41) ％,which was significantly lower than the control group(P ＜0.05).The left ventricular ejection fraction of patients with different NYHA grading in the heart failure group was significantly lower than that of the control group(all P ＜0.05),plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels in patients with different NYHA grading were significantly higher than those in the control group,and with the elevated levels of NYHA classification,the plasma brain natriuretic peptide level increased significantly(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The level of plasma brain natriuretic peptide in elderly heart failure patients with normal ejection fraction was significantly increased,and with the increase of NYHA grade,plasma brain natriuretic peptide level rised,it is important to assess diagnosis and severity of this disease.

Chronic atrophic gastritis, which is the precancerous lesions of gastric cancer, has no good effect in west-ern medicine treatment. However, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has achieved certain effect in recent years. This article mainly discussed from aspects of etiology and pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation, therapies and for-mulas, acupuncture treatment, famous doctors’experiences, and integrative medicine treatment. The research pro-gress was summarized on TCM treatment and integrative medicine of this disease in recent 5 years.

According to related literature on the treatment of functional dyspepsia by the combination of syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in recent years, the general rule was summerized.

Objective To explore the quality of life (QoL) among the female condyloma acuminatum patients.Methods 118 female condyloma acuminatum patients were interviewed face-to-face by the well-trained nurses with questionnaire including SF-36 Chinese version,the t-test and x2 test were used to compare the scale scores of SF36 between the patient and control groups.Results There were 101 eligible questionnaire,the scale scores of physical function(PF) and bodily pain(BP) were highest in the patient group,the scale score was (92.9 ± 10.5)points and (75.0 ± 1 1.2) points,respectively.Role limitations due to emotional problems (RE) was the lowest with the scale score only(50.8 ± 13.7)points.All scale scores of SF-36 in patient group,except PF(no statistical significant),were lower than that in the control group (all P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion In the female condyloma acuminatum patients,the QoL is lower significantly than that in the control group,especially in emotional scales.

Wnt gene family has been shown to encode the multifunctional signaling glycoproteins that are involved in the regulation of a wide variety of normal and pathologic processes,including embriogenesis,differentiation,and tumorigenesis.Recent studies have demonstrated that the Wnt-5a expression is frequently deregulated in various human cancers,which suggested that Wnt5a shuld be a good marker for progression and prognosis of tumor,but the role of Wnt-5a is controversial in different tumors.Here,we assemble evidence of possible relations between Wnt and various tumors.

OBJECTIVE To observe whether the natural antibacterial polypeptide elafin after transfected into airway epithelial cells(A549 cells)has resistant effects on Pseudomonas aeruginosa bioflim.METHODS To establish the P.aeruginosa biofilm model in vitro,a rapid silver nitrate staining procedure was used to demonstrate bacterial biofilm.After cultivating the cells in vitro,the constructed pEGF-N1-elafin eukaryotic expression vector had transfected into A549 cells by LipofectamineTM 2000.Elafin transfected cells were incubated by pig Pancreas Elastase(NE group),the supernatants of PAE(PAE group)and Escherichia coli(ECO group),respectively,for 24 hours.Then the content of elafin in cells and the level of elafin secretion were detected by Western blot and ELISA respectively.After biofilm carriers were put into each group and incubated for 8 hours,we observed the ratio of cells shape breakage at 4,8,12 and 24 hour,respectively.RESULTS The NE,PAE and ECO groups induced the content of elafin in cells and the level of secretion increased compared to the no induced group(normal group),while the PAE group and NE group were higher than those of ECO group.The ratio of cells breakage in induced elafin groups was lower than that of in normal group(P
