OBJECTIVE:To determine the content of paeonol in Cynanchum paniculatum by three-dimensional fluorescence coupled with ATLD algorithm. METHODS:The trilinear model was established. The principle of least square was used for ATLD. The component value was fitted by core consistency diagnosis,and inner filter effect was corrected by mathematical correction method. Fluorescence scanning condition included excitation wavelength of 250-400 nm,emission wavelength of 410-600 nm, wavelength interval of 5 nm,slit width of 5.0/5.0 nm,scanning speed of 1200 nm/min. Determination and absorption spectrum condition included scanning wavelength of 250-600 nm,scanning speed of 600 nm/min;Al(Ⅲ)was used as the sensitizer to in-crease the fluorescence intensity of paeonol. The content of paeonol was determined by HPLC. RESULTS:The linear range of pae-onol was 0.132-1.188 μg/mL(r=0.9999). RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were less than 3.0%. The recover-ies were 100.1%-104.7%(RSD=2.39%,n=6). The analysis spectrum of paeonol was almost completely overlapped with the actu-al spectrum. The results of HPLC method are very similar to those of ATLD algorithm. CONCLUSIONS:The three-dimensional fluorescence coupled with ATLD algorithm is simple,rapid,efficient and accurate,and can be used for the qualitative and quantita-tive analysis of complex system.

Objective: Orbital malignant tumor tends to infiltrate the skin,muscle and maxillae antrum.Its treatment requires enlarged surgery,which may cause bone exposure and make it difficult to repair the big wound.The purpose of this study was to explore the method of using the super-width forehead musculocutaneous flap to repair the postoperative wound.Methods: Based on the features of arterial anastomisis,we used super-width forehead musculocutaneous flaps,with the supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries as the pedicle,to repair the wound following surgical excision of orbital malignant tumor in 6 patients.Results: The wounds of the 6 patients were 5?5 to 8?9 cm2 in size,with the related part of the skull exposed.The musculocutaneous flaps survived in all the patients and all the wounds were successfully repaired in the primary stage.Conclusion: It is a good option to repair the defect left by orbital malignant tumor excision using super-width forehead musculocutaneous flaps with the supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries as the pedicle.

Objective:To investigate the effect of short term and intensive insulin pump on the blood lipid and glucose levels of patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods:76 patients with type 2 diabetes were selected and divided into two groups according to different administration.The control group (38 cases) was given routine insulin aspart treatment.The observation group (38 cases) was treated by insulin pump.The blood and lipid indexes and ADL score before treatment,at 1 week and 2 weeks after treatment were compared between two groups.Results:After treatment,the levels of FPG,HbAlc,TC,TG and LDL-C were lower than those before treatment and the level of HDL-C was increased in both groups.The levels ofFPG,HbAlc,TC,TG,LDL-C of observation group were lower than those of the control group,and the level of HDL-C of observation group was higher than that of control group (P＜0.05).At 1 week,2 weeks after treatment,the ADL scores of both groups were significantly improved,and the ADL score of observation group was higher than that of the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Short term intensive insulin pump could significantly improve the blood glucose and lipid metabolism disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes,and improve the ability of daily life.

Objective To reconstruct the perfusion parameters of murine hindlimbs peripheral tissue by using fluorescence reflectance imaging technique. Methods BALB/c mice were injected with intravenous bolus injection of indocyanine green (ICG) (10μg) into the tail vein. Time-series fluorescence intensity images were obtained for 200 s immediately after the injection. After the serial imaging, silhouette images of the mice were taken under white light to obtain the region of interest (ROI) of the murine hindlimbs. Bi-exponential model was applied to analyze the dynamic fluorescence parameters and the peripheral tissue perfusion parameter images were reconstructed. Results The fitted perfusion curves obtained from bi-exponential model were in good agreement with the measured ones. The parametric images which reflected the vascular sufficiency of murine hindlimbs were reconstructed. Conclusions A novel method for parametric images of murine hindlimbs peripheral tissue blood perfusion is proposed in this paper, which is noninvasive with higher resolution and little damage to biological tissues.

Objective To determine the expression of Notch pathway receptors (Notch1 and Notch4) and ligands (Jagged1 and Dll4) in cutaneous malignant melanoma (CMM) tissues,and to preliminarily explore the role of the Notch signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of CMM.Methods Immunohistochemical study was performed to determine the expression pattern and intensity of Notch1,Notch4,Jagged1 and Dll4 in 40 paraffin-embedded CMM specimens and 15 paraffin-embedded pigmented nevus specimens.Statistical analysis was carried out by chi-square test and Spearman rank correlation analysis with the SPSS 21.0 software.Results Notchl was detected in 31 (77.5％) of 40 CMM specimens,as well as in 3 of 15 pigmented nevus specimens,and the positive rates significantly differed between the two groups (x2 =15.281,P ＜ 0.001).However,no significant difference in the expression intensity of Notch1 was observed between 18 in situ melanoma tissues and 22 invasive melanoma tissues (x2 =0.631,P =0.427).In addition,the positive rates of Notch4,Jagged1 and Dll4 were also significantly higher in the CMM group than those in the pigmented nevus group (all P ＜ 0.05),and the expression intensity of Notch4,Jagged1 and Dll4 significantly differed between in situ and invasive melanoma tissues (all P ＜ 0.05).In CMM tissues,the expression of Notch1 was positively correlated with that of Jagged1 (rs =0.350,P =0.027) and Dll4 (rs =0.562,P ＜ 0.001),while the expression of Jaggedl was negatively correlated with that of Dl14 (rs =-0.734,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusion Abnormality of the Notch signaling pathway may be involved in the pathogenesis of melanoma,but further researches are still needed to elucidate the detailed mechanism.

Objective By analyzing the epidemiological characteristics and trends of brucellosis in Ji'nan City,to provide a scientific basis for further prevention and control of the disease.Methods Serum samples of suspected brucellosis patients were collected from every county (city,district) of Ji'nan City from 2008 to 2014,and these samples were screened by Rose-bengal plate agglutination test (RBPT).Then positive samples were confirmed by Standard tube agglutination test (SAT),and experimental data and results were analyzed by statistics.Results Totally 2713 serum samples of suspected brucellosis patients were tested,and 200 were positive by SAT.Temporal distribution:the serum antibody positive specimens were detected each month throughout the year,and the results showed clear seasonal prevalence by concentrating from March to September (82.07％,151/184).Population distribution:the serum antibody positive rate of males was higher than that of females,the ratio was 2.08:1.00,and the cases were found among 15 to 75 years old,while concentrated from 30 to 65 (67.00％,134/200).Spatial distribution:except Huaiyin District,positive samples were detected in all other 10 counties (cities,districts) of Ji'nan City,most of them (92.5％,185/200) in Shanghe,Zhangqiu,Changqing,Shizhong and Licheng counties (cities,districts).Conclusions Brucellosis epidemic in Ji'nan is serious,and cases have occurred mostly in spring,summer and autumn.It is recommended that health propaganda and education should be strengthened in order to enhance selfprotection awareness of the exposed population,and then improve the physical examination for early discovery,early reporting and early treatment.At the same time,it is important to cooperate with the Department of Livestock to prevent and control brucellosis.

BACKGROUND:Electrospun polylactic acid/polycaprolactone nanofibers (ENF) are a kind of self-synthesized biodegradable material. Our preliminary studies have indicated that the biomaterial exhibits excel ent biocompatibility;however, the research about its mechanics is stil little. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of static pressure on the cytocompatibility of adipose-derived stem cel s on the ENF scaffold. METHODS:Adipose-derived stem cel s were seeded onto the ENF scaffold, and then cultured in the low-glucose DMEM supplemented with 10%fetal bovine serum. The mixed constructs were submitted to the static pressure at 0, 15, 30, and 45 kPa for 4 hours using a static pressure device, respectively. Subsequently, the proliferation, adhesion and viability of adipose-derived stem cel s on the ENF scaffold were detected using MTT assay and living/dead staining to evaluate the cytocompatibility. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:MTT assay showed that there were significant differences in absorbance values among groups by one-way analysis of variance after 4 hours of loading with different static pressures in vitro. Under 0-30 kPa static pressure, the absorbance values increased with static pressure, but the absorbance values declined until the pressure reached 45 kPa, and multiple comparisons between groups showed significant difference. The significant differences in the cel attachment percentage by MTT assay could be found among groups. The living/dead staining results supported the above findings. Furthermore, the significant differences in percentage of living cel s among groups were shown using either one-way analysis of variance or paired t test. In conclusion, the appropriate static pressure can promote the cytocompatibility, proliferation, adhesion and viability of adipose-derived stem cel s on the ENF scaffold. But the excessive pressure is likely to inhibit the cel ular biological behaviors, thus affecting cytocompatibility of adipose-derived stem cel s with the ENF scaffold.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of neoadjuvant chemotherapy regimens of TA or AC in the treatment of locally advanced triple negative breast cancer. Methods Data of 99 women with stageⅡ/ Ⅲ locally advanced triple negative breast cancer treated in the Centre Hospital of Cangzhou from Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were divided into two groups based on the regimen of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Fifty-two cases were received TA regimen(Docetaxel 75 mg/ m2 and pirarubicin 50 mg/ m2 )and 47 cases were received AC( pirarubicin 50 mg/ m2 ,cyclophosphamide 600 mg/ m2 ). IV drip infusion was administered in both groups for 4 cycles before surgery,with 3 weeks for each cycle. The efficacy after treatment,the 2 year recurrence rate and overall survival rate after operation were compared between the two groups. Results The response rates in TA group were 88. 46% ,higher than that of AC group(57. 45% ),and the difference was statistically significant(χ2 = 12. 260,P < 0. 001). Furthermore,the rate of pathological grade 4 and 5 in TA group were 42. 3%(22 / 52)was superior to AC group(23. 4%(11 / 47);P = 0. 046). The 2-year recurrence rate and survival rate in TA group were 23. 08%(12 / 52)and 84. 62% ,as same as that in AC group ((27. 66%(13 / 47)and 80. 85% ;χ2 = 0. 400;P = 0. 53). Conclusion TA and AC are both effective in terms of females with stage Ⅱ/ Ⅲ locally advanced triple negative breast cancer treat with neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Moreover,TA is superior to AC. However,there is no statistical difference of 2-years recurrence rate and survival rate between two groups.
