This study was aimed to optimize the extraction process of ginseng in Shen-Qi Bu-Qi (SQBQ) granules. The orthogonal experiment method was used to optimize the extraction process of ginseng adopting ethanol concentration, ethanol volume, extraction time and extraction times as factors. The content of ginsenoside Rg1, Re, Rb1 content in the extract was determined by HPLC. And the optimum extraction conditions were determined with indexes of three kinds of saponin yield. The results showed that the optimum extraction process of ginseng for SQBZ granules was that adding 6 times amount of 60% ethanol technology for medicinal materials, extract for 2 times, and 3 h for each time. It was concluded that the optimization of ginseng extraction process was stable, reasonable and feasible with high extraction rate.

Objective To establish a canine model with pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE) of selective lobar pulmonary artery embolization mimicking chronic thromboembolism, to assess the effects of an inhaled nitric oxide (NO) 20 ppm on vital signs, blood gas, hemodynamic parameters and neutrophils in the alveolar of the canine model. Methods Twenty canines were divided into four groups: group 1: sham group (n=5); group 2; ischemic lung group (PTE group without embolectomy, n=5); group 3; reperfusion lung group (PTE group with embolectomy, n=5); group 4: reperfusion lung group with inhaled NO (PTE group inhaled 20 ppm NO after embolectomy, n=5). And central venous pressure (CVP), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP) and carbon monoxide (CO) were recorded, pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) was also calculated. Vital signs, blood gases were measured before embolectomy and at 2, 4, 6 hours after the operation. Albumin in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was measured by chromatometry of Coomassie brilliant blue. Lung wet to dry weight ratio(W/D) was also measured. Lung tissue pathology and alveolar PMN in the left lower lobar were observed by optical microscopy. Results MPAP increased significantly at 2 hours after reperfusion [(3. 20±0.53)kPa vs. (2. 27±0. 67)kPa,F=63,P=0.02]; At 6 hours after reperfusion as compared with baseline,HR increased significantly [(175±8) beats/min vs. (155±5) beats/min, F=38.72, P=0.01],PaO_2/FiO_2 also decreased significantly (41.70±8.04 vs. 54.71±3.78,F=48.36,P=0.03). MPAP decreased significantly in group 4 as compared with group 3 at 2 hours after reperfusion [(2.53±0.4)kPa vs. (3. 20±0. 53)kPa,F=55,P=0.04]. At 4 hours after reperfusion,PaO_2/FiO_2 raised in group 4,but there was no significant difference as compared with group 3 (49.17±7.37 vs. 39.71±7.31, F=2.36, P=0. 11). The quantities of alveolar PMN infiltration in group 4 decreased significantly as compared with group 3 (19±6/10 HPF vs. 31±11/10 HPF, F=98, P=0.01).Conclusions Lung ischemia-reperfusion injury can be induced by embolectomy from lower pulmonary artery in the PTE model embolized for one week. An inhaled NO 20 ppm can decrease the elevated pulmonary artery pressure induced by ischemia-reperfusion injury and may alleviate the injury by reducing the PMN immigration into the alveoli.

Objective:To explore the effect of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) on the formation of renal calcium oxalate crystals in SD rats induced by oxalate mixed diet.Methods:Six male guinea pigs were fed with standard guinea pig chow for 1 month and then given a 5% oxalate diet for 14 d. The guinea pigs on the standard chow were labeled as the standard chow guinea pig (GSC group) and those on the high oxalate diet for 14 d were labeled as the guinea pig group on the high oxalate diet (GOD group). The feces of guinea pigs in the GSC and GOD groups were collected using metabolic cages. Twenty-four male SD rats were randomly divided into standard chow (SC) group, oxalate diet(OD)+ phosphate buffered saline gavage group (OD+ PBS group), OD+ FMT group and SC+ FMT group. Among them, the SC group and SC+ FMT group were fed with standard chow. The OD+ PBS group and OD+ FMT group were fed with 5% oxalate content chow. The OD+ FMT and SC+ FMT groups were given GOD group guinea pig fecal filtrate gavage for 7 days. The 24 h urine and feces of rats in each group were collected, and the intestinal microbiota of rats and guinea pigs were detected by 16sRNA detection. The urinary oxalate excretion was detected by high performance liquid chromatography. The rats and kidneys were weighed and the renal index was calculated. HE staining was used to observe the histological morphological changes of rat kidney tissue, the calcium oxalate crystal deposition in renal tissues was detected by Pizzolato staining.Results:The relative abundance of bacteria from a total of 11 families, including Muribaculaceae family and Bifidobacteriaceae family, was significantly increased in the intestinal tract of guinea pigs (GOD) from the high oxalate diet group compared to guinea pigs (GSC) from the standard chow group. The microbial diversity of the intestinal microbiota of the rats in the OD+ PBS group was reduced compared to the SC group, and the microbial diversity of the intestinal microbiota of the rats in the OD+ FMT group was restored compared to the OD+ PBS group. When given a standard chow, the intestinal microbiota of rats receiving FMT deviated from that of normal rats and was more similar to that of guinea pigs fed a high oxalate diet. In the OD+ FMT group, bacteria from a total of 18 families, including Muribaculaceae family, Erysipelotrichaceae family and Bifidobacteriaceae family, were significantly enriched, and FMT activated the intestinal microbial network represented by bacteria from Muribaculaceae family. The renal index of rats in the OD+ PBS group was significantly increased compared to the SC group (7.63±0.67 vs. 6.12±0.53, P<0.05), whereas the renal index of rats in the OD+ FMT group was significantly decreased in comparison to the OD+ PBS group (6.53±0.64 vs. 7.63±0.67, P<0.05). Urinary oxalate excretion of rats in the SC group, the OD+ PBS group, and the OD+ FMT group were (0.61±0.05), (0.89±0.04) and (0.72±0.04) μmol/ml, respectively. In the rats of the SC group no calcium oxalate crystals were seen in the kidney (0 score) and more calcium oxalate crystals were detected in the OD+ PBS group (4.83±0.41 score). The OD+ FMT group showed significantly lower calcium oxalate crystallization scores (3.17 ± 0.75 score, P<0.01) compared to the OD+ PBS group. Conclusions:FMT activated the microbial network represented by bacteria from the family Muribaculaceae in the rat intestine, significantly reduced urinary oxalate excretion and renal calcium oxalate crystal deposition in rats on a high oxalate diet.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the molecular pathogenesis of a Chinese pedigree affected with inherited protein C (PC) deficiency.
METHODS:
The protein C activity (PC:A) and protein C antigen (PC:Ag) of the proband and his family members were determined by a chromogenic substrate method and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. The proband was subjected to whole exome sequencing. Candidate variants were verified by Sanger sequencing of other members of the pedigree.
RESULTS:
The PC:A and PC:Ag of proband were reduced to 15% and 11%, respectively. The above parameters of his parents and elder sister were also decreased to approximately 50% of reference values. Next generation sequencing has revealed that the proband has harbored a heterozygous c.572_574delAGA (p.Glu191_Lys192delinsGlu) variant in exon 7 and a missense c.752C>T (p.Ala251Val) variant in exon 8 of the PROC gene. His father was heterozygous for the c.572_574delAGA variant, while his mother and elder sister were heterozygous for the c.752C>T variant. According to the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Standards and Guidelines, the c.572_574delAGA (p.Glu191_Lys192 delinsGlu) variant was predicted to be likely pathogenic (PS1+PM4+PP3). c.752 C>T (p.Ala251Val) variant was also likely pathogenic (PS1+PM1+PP3).
CONCLUSION
The deletional variant of c.572_574delAGA (p.Glu191_Lys192delinsGlu) in exon 7 and missense variant c.752C>T (p.Ala251Val) in exon 8 of the PROC gene probably underlay the inherited protein C (PC) deficiency in this pedigree. Above finding has enriched the spectrum of PROC gene variants and provided a basis for genetic counseling for this pedigree.
