AIM: To analyze the chemical composition and their relative contents of Fuyinjie Compound Huangsong Lotion. METHODS: A capillary column HP-5 MS was used. The column temperature was controlled by a program and the MS analysis was performed with EI and quadrupole mass analyzer. The chemical composition was identified by NIST98 searching and mass spectra comparing, and their relative contents were determined by using normalization method of chromatographic peak areas. RESULTS: There were 39 components found and 31 composed of more than 90% separated components were identified. CONCLUSION: The GC-MS is a simple, rapid and sensitive method for the chemical composition analysis of Fuyinjie Compound Huangsong Lotion.

AIM: To investigate the efficacy of 23G minimally vitrectomy without irrigation in cataract phacoemulsification and trabeculectomy of malignant glaucoma, and to analyze such compound operative procedures for phakic malignant glaucoma.
●METHODS:A total of 21 phakic malignant glaucoma patients (21 eyes) underwent anterior vitrectomy without irrigation by using 23G vitrectomy. During surgical course phacoemulsification with anterior and posterior continuous circular capsulorhexis, trabeculectomy combined with iridectomy would be completed. lntraocular pressure, anterior chamber depth changes and postoperative complications were observed after the operation.
●RESULTS:ln the three-month follow-up, intraocular pressures were reduced from ( 57. 18 ± 6. 18 ) mmHg to (16. 15 ± 2. 43 ) mmHg, there was statistical difference compared with pre - operation ( P < 0. 001 ). The preoperative anterior chamber depth (ACD) was (0. 88± 0. 25) mm, the postoperative ACD was (2. 44±0. 37) mm 3mo later, there were significant difference (P<0. 001). The best corrected visual acuity improved significantly, no serious postoperative complication appeared.
● CONCLUSION: The compound surgical method of anterior vitrectomy combined with phacoemulsifier and trabeculectomy can effectively treat phakic malignant glaucoma. Early diagnosis and early compound surgery may effectively reduce the intraocular pressure of malignant glaucoma.

Objective:To improve the quality standard for Kangshiming mixtures. Methods:The identification of Angelicae Sinen-sis Radix, Astragali Radix and Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex was carried out by TLC. The contents of puerarin and paeoniflorin in the preparations were determined by HPLC. Results:The spots displayed in TLC were clear without interference from the negative control. The linear range for puerarin was 1. 64-49. 20μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9) and 4. 22-63. 30μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 6) for paeoniflorin. The average recovery was 99. 63%(RSD=2. 14%,n=9) and 99. 05%(RSD=2. 70%,n=9) for puerarin and paeoniflorin, respectively. Conclusion:The method is accurate, reliable and specific, and can be used in the quality control of Kangshiming mixtures.

Objective: 3D segmentation is an important part of medical image analysis and visualization. It also continues to be large challenge in the medical image segmentation. While level sets have demonstrated a great potential for 3D medical image segmentation, these algorithms have a large computational burden thus are not suitable for real time processing requirement. To solve this problem, we propose a parallel accerelated method based on CUDA. Methods: We implement C-V level set algorithm in the CUDA environment which is the NVIDIA's GPGPU model.The segmentation speed can greatly improved by using independence of image pixel and concurrence of partial differential equation .The paper shows the flow chart of the parallel computing and gives the detailed introduction of the C-V level set algorithm which is implemented in the CUDA environment. Results: Realizing the C-V level set parallel accerelated algorithm. This method has faster segmentation speed while preserving the qualitative results, Conclusions: This method is viable and makes the fast 3D medical image segmentation come hue.

Acute nonvariceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding (ANVUGIB)is a commonly seen gastrointestinal emergency.Rockall and Blatchford scoring system are commonly used for risk stratification in ANVUGIB.Aims:To investigate the predictive values of Rockall and Blatchford scoring system for assessing the risk of blood transfusion,surgical intervention and mortality in patients with ANVUGIB.Methods:Five hundred and ninety hospitalized patients with ANVUGIB were scored by Rockall and Blatchford scoring system,respectively.Predictive values of these two scoring systems for assessing the risk of blood transfusion,surgical intervention and mortality were assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve (AUC).Results:Rockall and Blatchford scores in patients with blood transfusion,surgical intervention and died were significantly higher than those in patients without blood transfusion,surgical intervention and survived (P <0.01 ).The AUC of Rockall scoring system for predicting blood transfusion,surgical intervention and mortality were 0.785 (95% CI:0.743-0.828,P=0.000),0.765 (95% CI:0.693-0.837,P=0.000),0.835 (95% CI:0.703-0.966,P=0.005),respectively.The AUC of Blatchford scoring system for predicting blood transfusion,surgical intervention and mortality were 0.812 (95%CI:0.775-0.848,P=0.000),0.870 (95%CI:0.811-0.930,P=0.000),0.784 (95% CI:0.614-0.954,P=0.017),respectively.Conclusions:Rockall and Blatchford scoring system have high predictive value for blood transfusion,surgical intervention and mortality in patients with ANVUGIB.Rockall scoring system is better for predicting mortality,while Blatchford scoring system is better for predicting blood transfusion and surgical intervention.

In the present study, the genomic sequence characteristics of HN-JY40 strains of the hepatitis E virus (HEV) isolated from pigs in Henan Province, China, were analyzed and the evolutionary relationship between HN-JY40 and other sequenced strains examined. The whole genome of HN-JY40 was sequenced and analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, 3' rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3' RACE) and 5' RACE. Bioinformatic analyses were carried out with Megalign, Expasy, clustal x, and MEGA 4 software. The genome of HN-JY40 was 7 223 bp in size upon removal of polyA sequences. Sizes were 9 bp and 69 bp at 5' and 3' noncoding regions, respectively. The genome of HN-JY40 was predicted to contain three open reading frames (ORFs): ORF1 (5 124 bp) encoding 1 707 amino acids; ORF2 (2 025 bp) encoding 674 amino acids; ORF3 (345 bp) encoding 114 amino acids. Phylogenetic-tree analyses indicated that HN-JY40 is a typical type-IV virus that belongs to a new subgenotype of HEV genotype 4. We sequenced and analyzed the whole genome of HN-JY40. This strategy elicited the genomic characteristics of the HEV isolated from pigs in Henan Province as well as the evolutionary relationships between HN- JY40 and other HEV isolates from pigs. We revealed that the ORF1 of HN-JY40 (153-432 nt) and human HK 104-2004 had high similarity, which offers molecular evidence for uncovering the interspecies transmission of the HEV.
