Purpose To investigate the influence of paraquat on substantial nigra and doparine levels ofstriatum in C57BL mice. Methods 39 neonatal C57BL mice were randomly divided into 5 groups andwere given paraquat or 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetra-hydropyridine(MPTP) orally in 10 th and 11 thdays odl; ( 1 ) MPTP 0.3 mg/kg, n = 8; (2) MPTP 20 mg/kg, n = 8; (3) paraquat 0.07 mg/kg, n = 8; ( 4 )paraquat 0.36 mg/kg, n = 8; (5) normal saline, n = 7. Adult spontaneous motor activity was observed atages of 120 days, then the mice were decapitated and the contents of dopamine(DA), serotonin(5-HT), andtheir metabolites in striatum were analyzed. Meanwhile, the dopamine neuons at the mesencephalon vereobserved by the method of ABC immunohistochemistry. Results Mice given Paraquat 0.36 mg/kg andMPTP 20 rng/kg showed a marked bypoactive behavior and reduced the striatal contents of DA andmetabolites without affecting 5-HT. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the amount of dopamineneurons at the midbrain decreased. Conclusions C57BL mice exposed to great amount of paraquat duringthe neonatal period could yield the alterations of behavior and some pathological and biochemical changessimilar to parkinson disease.

Objective To investigate the incidence, risk factors, treatment and clinical outcome of extramedullary EM) relapse following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (alloHSCT), and explore the possible pathogenesis. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 164 patients who underwent allogeneic HSCT. The 10 clinical parameters were selected for Cox univariate analysis: gender, age, underlying disease, donor type, disease status at transplant,HLA disparity, acute GVHD, chronic GVHD, EM involvement prior to transplantation and conditioning regimen. Factors that were significant at the 0. 10 level on univariate analysis were evaluated by multivariate analysis using a Cox regression. The therapeutic options for EM relapse included local radiation, surgical removal, chemotherapy, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI), second HSCT. Results 164 recipients had sustained engraftment. EM relapse occurred in 9 patients(5.5 %), with a median time to EM relapse of 7.5 months (2.3 to 42.6 months). Ninety-fourpatients (57. 3 % ) developed acute GVHD and 83 (50. 6 % ) chronic GVHD respectively. Four patients died of EM relapse. The following factors were associated with an increased risk of EM relapse by univariate analysis: gender, donor type, disease status at transplant, chronic GVHD, EM involvement prior to transplantation. Only advanced stage of the disease (P< 0. 05), absence of chronic GVHD (P<0. 01) and EM involvement prior to transplantation (P<0. 01) were identified as being significantly associated with the occurrence of EM relapse by multivariate analysis using a Cox regression. Conclusion Many factors may be involved in the pathogenic mechanism of EM relapse,and among them, immune escape might play a major role. Advanced stage of the disease, absence ofchronic GVHD and EM involvement prior to transplantation were independently associated with an increased risk of EM relapse. EM relapse frequently followed by bone marrow involvement has poor prognosis, and therefore, prevention of leukemic cells spreading from EM sites to bone marrow is vital for long-term survival.

Objective To explore the curative effect of modified closed negative pressure drainage on abnormal abdominal incision. Methods Sity-three patients with abnormal healing of abdominal incision in our hospital from January 2012 to June 2013 were selected as the observation group. Another 50 patients from January to December 2011 were assigned to the control group. The former was treated after debridement with human recombinant surface growth factor and modified closed negative pressure drainage,while the latter after debridement with anti-infection and dressings of ethacridine or gentamicinsolution as well as with infrared therapy. The two groups were compared in terms of the frequency,time and cost of changed dressings,and the healing time of the incisions.Results There was insignificant difference in the cost of changed dressings between the two groups(P>0.05). However,the differences were statistically significant in terms of the frequency and time of changed dressings and the healing time of the incisions(P<0.05). The observation group was significantly superior to the control group.Conclusions Modified closed negative pressure drainage is effective in accelerating the healing in abnormal abdominal incisions,reducing the frequency and the time of changed dressings,and easing the economic burdens of the patients,which is suggested to be popularized and applicable in the pimary hospitals.

Objective To explore the application effect of simethicone combined with compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder before colonoscope examination. Methods 106 cases underwent colonoscope examination from October 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled in the study. Then all the cases were divided into 2 groups randomly, each with 53 cases. Patients in the control group were treated with simple oral administration of compound polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, patients in observation group were combined using simethicone and polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder. The preoperative bowel preparation score, lesion detection and the changes of liver and renal function and electrolyte in the two groups were recorded respectively. Results Patients in the observation group were better than the control group in both the bowel preparation score and the detection rate (P < 0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in the course of the two groups. Conclusions Simethicone can eliminate intestinal bubbles, and combined use with polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder before colonoscope examination can significantly improve intestinal cleaning effect, improve the colonoscope examination image, enhance the detection rate of lesions.

Objective:To explore influence of thrombus aspiration combined bivalirudin during emergency PCI on my- ocardial tissue perfusion and clinical prognosis in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods:A total of 102 patients with acute STEMI,who were confirmed with thrombus burden by CAG in our hos- pital from Jan 2012 to Jun 2014,were selected.According to random number table,they were randomly divided into thrombus aspiration + bivalirudin group (n=52,thrombus aspiration group)and heparin group (n=50,routine PCI group).TIMI blood flow grade 3 rate,TIMI myocardial perfusion grade (TMPG)after PCI,ST segment re- gression rate 2h after PCI,peak value and peak time of cTnI after PCI,LVEF,LVEDd,incidence rates of bleeding and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE)on one week and one month after PCI were compared between two groups.Results:Compared with routine PCI group,there were significant rise in postoperative TMPG grade 3 rate (56.00% vs.88.46%),TIMI grade 3 rate (58.00% vs.88.46%)and ST segment regression rate (52.00% vs. 76.92%)in thrombus aspiration group,P<0.05 or <0.01. Compared with routine PCI group one month after PCI,there was significant rise in LVEF [(53.76±5.24)% vs.(57.95±5.51)%],and significant reductions in LVEDd [(53.70±3.39)mm vs.(50.63±1.24)mm],peak value [(16.00±4.28)μg/L vs.(13.81±4.00)μg/L]and peak time [(14.00±2.80)h vs.(13.00±2.23)h]of cTnI in thrombus aspiration group,P<0.05 or <0.01. Incidence rate of mild bleeding in thrombus aspiration group was significantly lower than that of routine PCI group (1.9% vs.16.0%),P<0.05,but there was no significant difference in incidence rate of MACE between two groups,P>0.05. Conclusion:Thrombus aspiration combined bivalirudin during emergency PCI is safe and fea- sible for acute STEMI patients,it can effectively reduce incidence rate of bleeding,remove coronary thrombus,im- prove myocardial tissue perfusion and doesn't increase incidence rate of MACE.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the fingerprint of raw produc ts and different processed products of Pinellia pedatisecta , to determine the contents of 5 kinds of nucleosides ,and to compare the differences of components between the raw products and processed products. METHODS :P. pedatisecta raw products ,processed products by Processing Standard of Chinese Medicine in Henan Province (called“Standard processed product ”for short )and processed products by new integrated processing technology in the production area (called“new integrated processed product ”for short )were collected as investigation objects (12 batches of each). The determination was performed on SymmetryShield RP 18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (A)-0.1% acetic acid aqueous water solution (B)(gradient elution )at the flow rate of 0.8 mL/min,with the column temperature of 30 ℃, the detection wavelength of 270 nm,and the injection volume of 15 µL. HPLC fingerprints of 3 kinds of P. pedatisecta samples were established by using Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprints (2004 A version ) ,and the similarity of fingerprints was evaluated. The chromatographic peaks were identified by comparing with the reference chromatogram. Five nucleosides (adenine,hypoxanthine,uridine,xanthine,inosine)were quantitatively analyzed. SPSS 21.0 software was used for cluster analysis of 36 batches of samples. RESULTS :The results of fingerprint and content determination met the relevant requirements. The similarity of 3 kinds of sample with their control fingerprint were all greater than 0.990. There were 22 common peaks in the raw products of P. pedatisecta ,and 16 common peaks were identified in the 2 kinds of processed products (the same 6 peaks disappeared from 2 kinds of processed products ). Fivecomponents were identified in 3 kinds of samples ,such as adenine(peak 3),hypoxanthine(peak 7),uridine(peak 8), 1064056472@qq.com xanthine(peak 9)and inosine (peak 11). Results of content determination showed that total contents of 5 kinds of nucleosides in 2 kinds of proc essed products were all· decreased;the contents of them in descending order w as raw product >new i ntegrated processed products >Standard processed products. Results of cluster analysis showed that 36 batches of samples could be clustered into 2 categories,i.e. raw product was clustered into one category and 2 kinds of processed products into other one . CONCLUSIONS :Established method is stable , feasible and suitable for the quality evaluation of raw products and different processed products of P. pedatisecta . Fingerprints have changed significantly and the total content of 5 kinds of nucleosides in P. pedatisecta are all decreased after processing ,but that of new integrated processed products is slightly higher than that of Standard processed products .
