Objective:To explore the clinical effect of Huayu-Ningkun liquid enema and external application of dreg for treating chronic pelvic inflammatory disease. Methods:A total of 106 patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease who met the inclusion criteria in the gynecological outpatient department of Beijing Hospital of Integrated Chinese and Western Medicine from January 2018 to December 2019 were divided into 2 groups by random number table method, with 53 patients in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine therapy, and the observation group was combined with Huayu-Ningkun liquid enema and external application of drug residue on the basis of the control group. TCM symptom scores were performed before and after treatment, and the Quality of Life of patients was evaluated by Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74). Serum CRP and TNF-α levels were detected by ELISA, and adverse reactions during treatment were recorded. Results:The total effective rate was 96.2% (51/53) in the observation group and 83.0% (44/53) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.970, P=0.026). After treatment, the TCM symptom scores of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group ( t=8.205, P<0.01). The scores of physical function, mental function, material life and social function were significantly higher than those in the control group ( t value were 7.503, 8.786, 7.798, 9.353, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the levels of serum CRP (4.52 ± 3.46 g/L vs. 8.23 ± 3.35 g/L, t=5.608) and TNF-α (1.00 ± 0.35 μg/L vs. 1.52 ± 0.28 μg/L, t=14.551) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:The Huayu-Ningkun liquid enema and drug residue external application combined with western medicine can relieve the symptoms, reduce the level of inflammatory cytokines, improve clinical efficacy of the patients with chronic pelvic inflammatory disease.

Objective:To establish a method for the determination of 11 trace elements in white vaselin. Methods:The contents of Mg,Al,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu,Zn,As,Cd,Hg and Pb in white vaselin were determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrome-try (ICP-MS). The parameters of ICP-MS were as follows:the Argon gas pressure was 0.6 MPa,the helium pressure was 0.12 MPa, the scan times were 200,the flush time was 45 s,the sampling time was 45 s and the internal standard was added online. Results:The linear relationship between concentration and response value of each element standard solution was within the range of 0-100 ng· m L-1. Except the correlation coefficients of Mg and Fe were 0.998 and 0.997,that of the other elements was all above 0.999. The recoveries of Mg,Fe,Ni,Zn,As and Pb were 74.9%-83.0%,those of Cd and Hg were 87.5%-94.4%,and those of Al,Co and Cu were 107.6%-118.7%. The detection limit of Mg, Al, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Cd, Hg and Pb was 1.9,0.59,0.61,0.16, 0.33,1.5,1.7,0.09,0.12,0.70 and 1.6 ng·ml-1,respectively. Among the 67 samples,the contents of Mg,Al,Fe,Ni,Cu, Zn, As and Hg were all detected out,while those of Co,Cd and Pb were only detected out in some samples. Conclusion:The method has the advantages of simple operation and high sensitivity,which can satisfy the determination of trace elements. It is suggested to se-lect 4 elements (Mg,Al,Fe and Ni) as the evaluation indices for white vaselin.

Objective To evaluate the effects of nitrous oxide inhalation on conscious sedation of patients during colonoscopy and analyze its risk factors. Methods From October 2016 to July 2017, a total of 154 patients undergoing colonoscopy were included in the study. The comfort level was rated using Modified Gloucester Comfort Scale ( MGCS). Factors affecting comfort level were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression, and then a comfort stratification predicting model was created. Results All 154 patients finished colonoscopy. The mean time of ideal anesthesia state was 195. 15 s. Among the 154 cases, 115 ( 74. 7%) were identified as comfort ( grade of MGCS from 1 to 3) and 39 (25. 3%) were rated as discomfort ( grade of MGCS from 4 to 5). Multivariate regression indicated that age ≥60 years ( P=0. 000, OR=1. 074, 95%CI: 1. 036-1. 114) and mild anxiety ( P=0. 018, OR=3. 338, 95%CI: 1. 227-9. 079) were associated with comfort level during colonoscopy.The established model with the age (X1) and mild anxiety (X2) was P=eY/(1+eY), Y=-3. 812+0. 071X1+1. 205X2(no anxiety was assigned 1, mild anxiety was assigned 2), and the area under the receiver operating characteristics curve was 0. 746 (95%CI: 0. 661-0. 830), which showed moderate predictive power of the final model. The model reached the highest predictive accuracy when the Yoden Index was 0. 838 with sensitivity of 50. 4% and specificity of 89. 7% for predicting comfort level of patients in conscious sedation status induced by nitrous oxide inhalation during colonoscopy. Conclusion Nitrous oxide can ease pain during colonoscopy, especially for patients over 60 years old and with anxiety. We can use it as an option according to actual circumstance in practice.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect and potential mechanism of Brucein D (BD) combined with Taxol on the proliferation of human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells. METHODS: Using Capan-2 cells as object, the proliferations after treated with BD (5, 10, 15, 20 μmol/L), Taxol (10, 20, 30, 40 nmol/L) and BD+Taxol (5 μmol/L+10 nmol/L, 10 μmol/L+20 nmol/L, 15 μmol/L+30 nmol/L, 20 μmol/L+40 nmol/L) for 48 h were determined by sulfonyl rhodamine B method. Survival rate of cells and combination index (CI) were calculated. The clone formation assay was performed to detect the formation of clonal colonies after treated with BD (20 μmol/L,hereinafter), Taxol (40 nmol/L,hereinafter)、BD+Taxol (20 μmol/L+40 nmol/L,hereinafter) for 24 h. The rate of clone formation was calculated. DAPI method was used to observe the apoptosis of cells after treated with BD, Taxol and BD+Taxol for 24 h. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of apoptosis-related protein (Bcl-2, PARP, Caspase-3, Cleaved-caspase-3) after treated by BD, Taxol, BD+Taxol for 48 h and the expression of JNK and p-JNK after treated by BD, Taxol, BD+Taxol for 4, 6, 12 h. RESULTS: After treated with 10, 15 and 20 μmol/L BD, 20, 30 and 40 nmol/L Taxol or two-drug combination for 48 h, survival rates of cells were decreased significantly; the survival rate of drug combination group was significantly lower than the same dose of BD group and Taxol group (P<0.05). CI values of drug combination groups (BD 5 μmol/L+Taxol 10 nmol/L, BD 10 μmol/L+Taxol 20 nmol/L, BD 15 μmol/L+Taxol 30 nmol/L, BD 20 μmol/L+Taxol 40 nmol/L) were 0.63±0.04, 0.68±0.08, 0.89±0.12 and 0.84±0.05. After treated with 20 μmol/L BD, 40 nmol/L Taxol and two-drug combination, the formation of clonal colonies was decreased with different degrees of chromatin concentration and nuclear shrinkage; the rate of clone formation (24 h), the expression of Bcl-2 (48 h), PARP (48 h), Caspase-3 (48 h) and JNK (4, 6 h, except for Taxol group) were decreased significantly, while the relative expression of Cleaved-caspase-3 (48 h) and p-JNK (4, 6, 12 h) were increased significantly. Those of BD+Taxol group were significantly better than those of BD group and Taxol group [except for JNK (4, 6, 12 h), p-JNK (4 h)] (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Both BD and Taxol can inhibit the proliferation and promote apoptosis of human pancreatic cancer Capan-2 cells, and the combination have a certain synergistic effect, which is better than any single drug. It may be associated with activating Caspase pathway and JNK phosphorylation.
