AIM: To optimize the method of extracion and isolation for anthraquinone component from rhubarb for increasing the extraction rate and purity. METHODS: Rhubarb was extracted 4 times in the refluxing method with ethanol. The borate buffer solution was used as extracted fluid. Rhein, rheum emodin and chrysophanol could be obtained by Deltar 4 000 high-pressure making system, and the pure product obtained by recrystallizing with acetone. The YWG C 18 column was (4.6?250) mm, the flow rate 1.0 ml. min -1, and UV detection wavelength 254 nm. Methanol, water and acid perchloride were taken as mobile phase with the ratio of 910.01.

Early portal vein thrombosis is a rare but serious complication after liver transplantation,also is one of the main causes which lead to graft loss and receptor death. We collected domestic and foreign relevant data,and summarized and discussed the causes, clinical manifestation, imaging diagnosis of early portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation. Early portal vein thrombosis after liver transplantation caused by multiple risk factors synergy. It was reported incidence of 1% to 2%. Clinical manifestations were concealment and lacked of specificity. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography angiography ( CTA) imaging methods of combi?ning could help early clinical findings,When necessary magnetic resonance angiography( MRA) . If each check negative,portal vein angiography could make a definitive diagnosis. Intravascular interventional therapy with small trauma, less complications and high success rate for advantages gradually became first?line treat?ments. Surgical treatment is not only as traditional effective treatments,but also an effective remedial measures after interventional treatment failure.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of patient-controlled epidural analgesia(PCEA) with opioids on serous myelin basic protein(MBP) and somatosensory evoked potential(SEP) of lower limbs in puerperants.MethodsA total of 120 puerperants,after receiving cesarean section,were divided into four groups by random number table method as group B,BR,MR and R randomly,and each group included 30 cases.After surgery,each case received PCEA:group B received 0.008％ butrophanol;group BR received 0.008％ butrophanol + 0.2％ ropivacaine;group MR received 0.004％ morphine +0.2％ ropivacaine and group R received 0.2％ ropivacaine only.VAS score,OAA/S score,adverse effect occurrence,concentration changes of serous MBP,SEP of both lower limbs and neurological function were observed at 2h(T1 ),4h(T2),8 h(T3),12h(T4),24 h(T5) and 48h (T6) after surgery.ResultsVASscoresofgroupBR(1.64±0.38,1.86±0.62,1.93±0.67) and MR( 1.74 ±0.39,1.91±0.58,1.98 ±0.63) at T3,T4,T5 were lower than those of group B(4.6 ±0.5,4.6 ±0.3,4.7 ±0.3)and R(2.64 ±0.41,2.83 ±0.91,3.37 ±0.87) (P＜0.05).There was no significance in four groups in OAA/S score at each point (P ＞ 0.05 ).Incidence of nausea ( 6 cases),vomiting ( 2 cases) and abdominal distention ( 5cases) of group M was higher than that of other three groups(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in concentrations of serous MBP,SEP and neurological function in all four groups between preoperative time and 48h after operation(P＞0.05).ConclusionLower-dose and lower- concentration opioids used for PCEA have no influence on serum MBP and SEP.

AIM: To establish the experimental acute pulmonary embolism(APE) model and observe the left and right ventricular pressure-volume relationship in different overload situations. METHODS: The present study consisted of seven anesthetized mongrel dogs that were divided into the control group, moderate APE group and severe APE group according to the various phase and different pressure load during the experiment. APE model was induced by suture piece injection through right cardiac catheterization. The hemodynamic indexes were measured by the simultaneous cardiac catheterization and echocardiography.RESULTS: (1) In the group with moderate APE, the pressure-volume relationship of right ventricle tended to right-upward shift, the area of chart increased, the shape of chart transformed form triangle to rectangle. The mild parallel leftward shift, the area of chart decreased mildly and no change of chart shape was observed in the pressure-volume relationship of left ventricle. (2) In the group with severe APE, the chart of right ventricular pressure-volume relationship tended to right-upward shift continuously, the area of chart decreased. The chart of the left ventricle tended to left-downward shift and no change of chart shape was observed in the pressure-volume relationship of left ventricle, the area of chart decreased. The erose shape of charts was also found.CONCLUSION: The chart of ventricular pressure-volume relationships is a practical and reliable method to evaluate left and right ventricular hemodynamic in APE.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of tirofiban in the treatment of aged patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Two hundred and fifty-six patients with ACS who underwent primary PCI were randomly divided into two groups: tirofiban group (tirofiban + PCI treatment, n= 130) and control group (routine PCI treatment, n = 126). Tirofiban group was further divided into two subgroups according to the age: aged group(age ≥60 years, n= 68) and non-elderly group(age<60 years, n=62). At the end of PCI procedure, angiographic features such as thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade, corrected TIMI frames count and TIMI myocardial perfusion grades (TMPG) were analyzed immediately. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) was observed within 36 hours and 30 days after PCI, and the incidence rates of thrombocytopenia and bleeding were assessed. Results There was no significant difference between both the two study groups and the two subgroups in the basic clinical or angiographic characteristics before PCI (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference between two groups in TIMI 3 flow achievement rate in culprit vessels after PCI (93.6% vs. 91.3%, χ~2 = 1.02, P= 0.313). In tirofiban group, corrected TIMI frames count was significantly higher than that in control group (31.6±7.7 vs. 23.8±6.1, t = 2.49, P 0.026), and TMPG 3 achievement rate was also higher (83.1% vs. 67.5% ,χ~2=4.05, P=0.046). The incidence of MACE was significantly lower in tirofiban group than that in control group both within 36 hours and 30 days after procedure(6.9% vs. 19.0%, χ~2= 6.30, P= 0.013; 3.8% vs. 11.90%, χ~2= 5.82,P=0.018, respectively). No statistical difference was found in mild bleeding complications between the two groups (20.2% vs. 15.2%, χ~2 =3.65, P=0.065), but the incidence of mild bleeding was higher in aged group than that in the non-elderly group(25.0% vs. 14.5%,χ~2=4.98, P=0.026), and the incidences of serious bleeding and thrombocytopenia were similar between the two subgroups. Conclusions Intravenous tirofiban infusion is safe in aged ACS patients during primary PCI, and has favorable short-term outcomes compared with routine treatment, although there is a slight risk of mild bleeding.

Objective Explore the expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) and Pselectin in the healing process for possible application in timing of incised wounds. Method An immunohistochemical study on the expression of ICAM-1 and P-selectin was performed on rats vital skin incised wounds (5min～7d)using postmortem incisions(5～30min)as control.Results In the vital skin incisions,positive stain of ICAM-1 was observed on epidermis began from 1h and lasted till 3d, while the P-selectin stain was observed on vascular endothelium as early as 10min after incision and lasted 5h; in addition, the expression of ICAM-1 was also found in the inflammatory cells and fibroblasts,the lasting period varied from group to group (groupⅠ 5min～1h,groupⅡ 3～7h,group Ⅲ 9～12h,groupⅣ 1d,groupⅤ 3d,groupⅥ 5～7d.).The positive ratios of ICAM-1 among the cells were very low in group Ⅰ(0.41?0.73%),and increased considerably in group Ⅱ(9.79?3.74%) and group Ⅲ(23.33?1.10%),maximized in group Ⅳ(30.58?2.65%),then decreased in group Ⅴ and Ⅵ.There were no changes of ICAM-1 and P-selectin in the postmortem incision group. Conclusion ICAM-1 and P-selectin are considered potentially useful markers for wound age determination in forensic practice.
