Quality variation and ecotype classification of Chinese herbal medicine are important scientific problems in Daodi herbal medicine research. The diversity of natural environmental conditions has led to form unique multi-Daodi, multi-product areas that produce particular Chinese herbal medicine. China is one of three big American ginseng (Panax quinquefolium L.) producing areas worldwide, with over 300 years of application and 40 years of cultivation history. Long-term production practice has led to the formation of three big advocate produce areas in China: Northeast province, Beijing and Shandong. P. quinquefolium L. grown under certain environmental conditions will develop long-term adaptations that will lead to more stable strains (different ecotypes). P. quinquefolium L., can vary greatly in quality; however, the ecological mechanisms causing this variation are still unclear. Root samples were collected from four-year-old cultivated P. quinquefolium L. plants in the three major genuine (Daodi) American ginseng-producing areas of Northeast province, Beijing and Shandong province, China. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography was used to analyze the contents of eight ginsenosides (Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rb2, Rb3, Rc, Rd, Rg2). Data for nine ecological factors, including temperature, moisture and sunlight, were obtained from the ecological database of Geographic Information System for Traditional Chinese Medicine. Soil samples from the sampling sites were collected. Effective boron and iron, available nitrogen and potassium, as well as other trace elements and soil nutrients, were determined by conventional soil physicochemical property assay methods. Analytical methods of biostatistics and numerical taxonomy were used to divide ecotypes of the three main Panax quinquefolium L. producing areas in China based on ginsenoside content, climate, soil and other ecological factors. To our knowledge, this is the first time that ecological division of P. quinquefolium L. producing areas in China has ever been conducted. The results show that there are two chemoecotypes of P. quinquefolium L. in China: ginsenoside Rb1-Re from outside Shanhaiguan, and ginsenoside Rg2-Rd from inside Shanhaiguan. Similarly, there are two types of climatic characteristics: inside Shanhaiguan (Beijing, Shandong) and outside Shanhaiguan (Northeast). This suggests that the formation and differentiation of chemoecotypes of P. quinquefolium L. is closely related to variability of the climatic and geographical environment. Additionally, ecological variation of the three main producing areas, characteristics of two climatic ecotypes, and soil characteristics are also discussed and summarized. These results provide experimental scientific evidence of the quality variation and ecological adaptation of P. quinquefolium L. from different producing areas. They also deepen our understanding of the biological nature of Daodi P. quinquefolium L. formation, and offer novel research models for other multi-origin, multi-Daodi Chinese herbal medicines ecotypes. In addition, the results demonstrate the critical need for improving quality, appropriate ecological regionalization and promoting industrialized development of P. quinquefolium L.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of voiding dysfunction after mid-urethral sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence.Methods Clinical data of 573 consecutive patients undergoing midurethral sling surgery from January 2003 to December 2010 were collected and analyzed retrospectively.All relative risk factors were evaluated by univariate and multivariate Logistic analysis to identify risk factors of voiding dysfunction.Results Voiding dysfunction occurred in 28 patients,with an incidence of 4.9% (28/573).Univariate analysis showed that age,previous pelvic surgery,pre-operative postvoid residuals,maximum flow rate,average urine flow rate,Valsalva leak point pressure,concomitant anterior pelvic repair and operator performing<50 procedures were the relative risk factors (P<0.05) for voiding dysfunction.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the maximum flow rate (Qmax) ≤ 15 ml/s (OR=3.782,P=0.003) was an independent risk factor for voiding dysfunction and surgery experience was its protection factors (OR=0.295,P=0.016).Conclusions Qmax ≤ 15 ml/s on preoperative urodynamic study is an independent risk factor for voiding dysfunction after mid-urethral sling procedure.Improving skill of surgery and strengthening technical training will help to reduce the incidence of this complication.

Objective:To evaluate the discrimination, reliability and validity of the evaluation system of clinical nurse training based on post competency in hospitals of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.Methods:From August 2018 to January 2019, 271 clinical nurses from a three-A hospital were selected by convenient sampling method. The competency of clinical nurses was assessed on the spot by case tracking method. The discrimination, reliability and validity of the evaluation system were tested by item analysis, Cronbach's α coefficient and confirmatory factor analysis.Results:The evaluation system had good discrimination, reliability and validity. Among the four scales of the evaluation system, there were significant differences in the high score and the low score of all items ( P < 0.05). The Cronbach's α coefficient of each dimension of the four scales was 0.769-0.898. Four structural equation model diagrams were established, the AVE (average variance extracted) of each dimension was 0.51-0.74, factor load was 0.53-0.93, C.R. (composite reliability) was 0.79-0.91, and the discrimination validity was up to the standard. Conclusion:This system provides a reference for the establishment of scientific, objective, measurable and homogeneous clinical nurse training evaluation tools.

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of humanized CD19-targeted chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) in patients with relapsed/refractory acute B cell lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R B-ALL) .Methods:The clinical data of 41 patients with R/R B-ALL treated with humanized CD19-targeted CAR-T cells in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from February 2020 to July 2021 were analyzed.Results:Cytokine release syndrome occurred in all patients, and 63.4% (26/41) were grades 1-2. Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome developed in three patients. On median day 15 (9-47) , the complete remission rate was 95.1% (39/41) , of which 38 patients tested negative for bone marrow minimal residual disease detected by flow cytometry. Among the 39 patients with complete remission, 17 patients did not receive further treatment, and 70.6% (12/17) remained in remission at the end of follow-up, with a progression-free survival of 11.6 months of the two patients with the earliest infusion. Another 17 patients underwent consolidation allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (10 cases) or CD22 CAR-T cell sequential therapy (seven cases) after remission, and 76.5% (13/17) of the patients were still in remission at the end of follow-up. The remaining five patients who did not receive consolidation therapy relapsed at a median of 72 (55-115) days after CAR-T cell therapy.Conclusion:In patients with R/R B-ALL, the humanized CD19-targeted CAR-T cells had a high response and manageable toxicity.

Both Mingshi Granules and placebo granules were taken orally, 1 bag each time, twice daily, 4 weeks of oral intake and 2 weeks of rest as 1 course of treatment, a total of 4 courses of treatment (24 weeks). Equivalent spherical lenses, best naked-eye distance visual acuity, ocular axis, corneal curvature K1, adjustment amplitude, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom scores, calculate the amount of progression of equivalent spherical lenses, were observed at the 12th and the 24th week of treatment, at the 36th week and 48th week of follow-up, resectively, the control rate of myopia progression was evaluated at the 24th week, and safety indexes were observed before treatment. ResultsThe amount of progression of equivalent spherical lenses was lower in the treatment group than in the control group at the 48-week follow-up (P<0.05). The control rate of myopia progression at 24 weeks after treatment in the treatment group was higher (57.60%, 72/125) than that in the control group (44.63%, 54/121) (P<0.05). The best naked-eye distance visual acuity at 36-week follow-up in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Equivalent spherical lenses were significantly lower in both groups at all observation time points compared with pre-treatment (P<0.05), and were higher in the treatment group than in the control group at the 48-week follow-up (P<0.05). The ocular axes of both groups were significantly higher at each observation time point after treatment and at follow-up compared with before treatment (P<0.05). The amount of eye axis growth in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group at 24 weeks after treatment and at the 48-week follow-up (P<0.05). Corneal curvature K1 was significantly lower in the treatment group at the 24th week of treatment compared to pre-treatment (P<0.05). The magnitude of adjustment in the treatment group was significantly higher at the 36-week follow-up and at the 48-week follow-up than before treatment (P<0.05). The scores of white/dark complexion, white coating thin pulse, fatigue and total TCM symptom scores of children in both groups at the 12th, 24th, 36th and 48th weeks of follow-up were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05); the scores of blurred vision at the 24th and 36th weeks of follow-up were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05); and the scores of blurred vision in the treatment group at the 48th week of follow-up were signi-ficantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the score of fatigue was higher than that of the control group at the 36-week follow-up, and the score of blurred vision was lower than that of the control group at the 48-week follow-up (P<0.05). No adverse reactions or obvious abnormalities of the safety indexes were observed of the two groups during the treatment. ConclusionChinese herbal medicine Mingshi Granules showed the effect of controlling the progression of low myopia, improving the best naked eye distance visual acuity, slowing down the growth of the eye axis, improving some of the TCM symptoms, with good safety.
