Objective To investigate the pregnancy and operation of uterine fibroids during pregnancy. Methods The clinical data of 70 cases of pregnancy complicated with uterine fibroids undergoing cesarean section were analyzed retrospectively. The patients without uterine myoma underwent cesarean section were selected as the control group. The complications of pregnancy (abortion rate, premature delivery rate, myoma degeneration and abnormal fetal position) were compared; and the cesarean section bleeding volume, operation time, postoperative exhaust time and hospitalization time were compared. Results The two groups of pregnancy threatened abortion rate, preterm labor rate was statistically significant (P<0.05); the two groups the incidence of fetal abnormalities was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the average intraoperative blood loss, operation time, postoperative exhaust time and hospital stay. Conclusion Pregnancy associated with uterine fibroids increases the incidence of pregnancy complications, but cesarean myomectomy is safe and feasible.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for standardizing the names of TCM from Rumex. METHODS:According to lit-erature research,the most frequently used names (such as Jinbuhuan,Tudahuang,Yangti) of TCM in Rumex were combed,and suggestions for existing problems were put forward. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The TCM names were used confusedly,main-ly showing that inconsistent names of TCM from the same plant in different areas,same name of TCM from different plants in the same area,same name of TCM from different plants in different areas. The key to solving the confused use of names of TCM in Rumex is standardization and unification of medicinal plant source and names. It can be developed and solved in order by resource investigation and identification,establishing quality standard and excavating medicinal value,in which,conducting the resource in-vestigation and specie identification,determining the medicinal names,stipulating the official names and establishing the quality standard are the important work in future.

Objective To study the effect of preoperative blood pressure control on postoperative cardiovascular events in patients with hypertension and gastrointestinal surgery. Methods A total of 238 hypertensive patients who underwent gastrointestinal surgery were selected and divided into control group (n =118)and non-control group (n =120)according to thehypotensor treatment.During the operation,the same anesthetic regimen was used.The use of vasoactive drugs was recorded during anesthesia.Bladder chalone C (Cys C)and cardiac troponin T (cTnT)were de-tected in blood before and after the operation,and so were N-terminal B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)level on the 1st and 5th day after the operation.The postoperative hospitalization time,fol-low-up of cardiovascular events 28 and 90 days after discharge were recorded.Results Compared with the non-control group,the total dosage of ephedrine in the control group was significantly re-duced [(3.41±1.04)mg vs (7.46 ± 3.29)mg,P <0.05 ],total dose of phenylephrinewas signifi-cantly reduced [(0.17±0.10)mg vs (0.46 ±0.16)mg,P <0.05],postoperative hospital stay was significantly shorter [(5.92±1.15)d vs (9.65±1.61)d,P <0.05],NT-proBNP level in the control group on the 1st day after the operation [(108.00 ± 47.11 )pg/L vs (250.38 ± 62.92 )pg/L,P <0.01]and 5 days after the operation [(62.07 ±25.31)pg/L vs (199.02 ± 60.32)pg/L,P <0.01 ] was obviously reduced.There was no statistical difference in Cys C andcTnT between the two group-safter operation.The incidence of cardiovascular adverse events in the control group was significantly lower than that in the non-control group (28 d:13.6% vs 62.7%,90 d:23.3% vs 23.3%,P <0.05).Conclusion Strict control of preoperative blood pressure control in patients with hypertension can significantly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events.

A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of 17 characteristic ingredients of plant extracts, including paeoniflorin, hydroxysafflor yellow A, calycosin_7_glucoside ferulic acid, etc. , in hair growth cosmetics using ultra high performance liquid chromatography ( UPLC ) . Different cosmetic samples were extracted by ultrasonic_assisted extraction with the solvent of methanol/water (4∶1, V/V) solution. After demulsified by the addition of appropriate amount of NaCl and high speed centrifugation, the supernatant was transferred and analyzed with UPLC. The separation was conducted on a Waters reversed phase column of ACQUITY UPLC CSH C18(50 mm×2. 1 mm, 1. 7μm), and the mobile phases were methanol and the solution of 0. 05% phosphate in water. The detection was performed with a photodiode_array ( PDA) detector. The linear range was 0 . 2-25 mg/L with correlation coefficients higher than 0 . 999 . The limits of detection were within 0. 3-1. 5 mg/kg, and the limits of quantification were from 1. 0 to 4. 0 mg/kg. The average recoveries of 17 characteristic ingredients were within 93 . 5%-105 . 0%, with the intra_and inter_day precision ( n=6 ) less than 4. 6%. This method was simple, rapid, with good_repeatability, and had been applied to the analysis of real samples.

Objective To observed the expression of serum TNF-α and IL-10 in rats with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) at different altitudes,and to explore the relationships between TNF-α and IL-10,the pathological changes of the pancreas,and the experimental basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of SAP.Methods 72 specific pathogen free (SPF) Wistar male rats were divided randomly into three groups:1 500 meters altitude (group L),3 300 meters altitude (group M),and 4 300 meters altitude (group H).These three groups were then each divided randomly into four subgroups:control (group n),6 hours after pancreatitis (group p 6 h),12 hours after pancreatitis (group p 12 h),and 24 hours after pancreatitis (group p 24 h).Pancreatitis was induced by intraductal administration of 5％ sodium taurocholate hydrate (NaTc).The rats were killed at 6,12,and 24 hours after NaTc injection in groups p.The group n rats were killed after 6 hours of pancreas observation.Blood samples and pancreatic tissues were collected post mortem and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) measured serum TNF-α and IL-10.Results Compared with the control (group n),histopathological scores,IL-10,and TNF-α in the same altitude had a significant difference (P ＜ 0.05) in group p at each time point.In the same altitude of group p,histopathological scores and IL-10 were increased with time elapsed (P ＜ 0.05),while TNF-α was decreased with time elapsed (P ＜ 0.05).There was a significant difference between group Mp and Lp in histopathological scores,IL-10,and TNF-α (P ＜ 0.05),and the same result between group Hp and Lp (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between group Hp and Mp (P ＜ 0.05).Meanwhile,IL-10 had a positive relationship with histopathological score,but TNF-α had a negative relationship with histopathological score.Conclusions The level of TNF-α increased with increasing altitude but significantly reduced with elapsed time.The level of IL-10 increased with both increasing altitude elapsed time.These results suggested that TNF-o and IL-10 might play a important role at different times in severe acute pancreatitis.

In this study, metabolism of nobiletin in rats was studied using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). As a result, seven major metabolites were found in bile, urine and serum of rats. Three phase I products were assigned to be demethyl and di-demethyl products, and other four phase II products were assigned to be glucuronic and sulfonic conjugates. The four phase II metabolites were reported for the first time. Among the metabolites found in the present study, the glucuronic conjugates of demethyl-nobiletin played a predominant role in the metabolic pathway, indicating that its potential role for glucuronidation-related factors, such as gene polymorphism, drug-drug interaction, etc., in changing the active and toxic effect of nobiletin and that it should be paid more attention in further development.
