This study was aimed to explore the medication rules of Chinese herbal medicine compound in the treatment of primary dysmenorrheal based on data mining.Relevant literatures on Chinese herbal medicine compound in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea were retrieved from June 2006 to June 2016 in the Chinese Journal Full-text Database (CNKI) to establish a literature database.The Excel 2010,SPSS 22.0 and SPSS Modeler 14.2 software were used in the frequency analysis,cluster analysis,association analysis,and etc.The results showed that literatures related to Chinese herbal medicine compound in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea,there were 74 compound formula and 76 kinds of Chinese herbal medicine involved.Angelica was the core single Chinese herbal medicine.Chinese herbal medicine with high-frequency usage was the type of removing blood stasis,invigorating qi and blood.Cluster analysis can form 5 clustering combination.Primary dysmenorrhea was mainly clustered to two syndromes,which were qi and blood deficiency with blood stasis,liver and kidney deficiency with qi stagnation and blood stasis.The association rules analysis showed that there were a total of 25 rules,with the most common combination of two or multiple combination from four kinds of Chinese herbal medicine,including Angelica,Radix Paeoniae Alba,Rhizoma Chuanxiong,and Rhizoma Corydalis.It was concluded that blood stasis was the direct cause of primary dysmenorrhea,many of which belonged to the deficiency of root (i.e.,deficiency of qi,blood and cold deficiency) and excess of branch.Chinese herbal medicine treatment should be focused on the regulation of both qi and blood,invigoration of both liver and kidney,as well as harmonization of the blood.

This study was aimed to summarize and analyze acupoint selection rule of acupuncture in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea in recent years,and to guide acupoint selection and compatibility in clinical practice.Relevant literatures in recent years were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) full-text database.And then,literatures involving acupuncture prescriptions were summarized.Data were integrated and input.Finally,the SPSS software was combined to analyze the data of acupoint selection in the acupuncture prescription to achieve the conclusion.The results showed that in the acupuncture treatment of primary dysmenorrhea,the main meridian selections were the Ren Meridian and the Spleen Meridian of Foot Taiyin.The generally used acupoints were SP6-Sanyinjiao,RN4-Guanyuan,SPS-Diji,and etc.The multi-point compatibility therapy was used.It was concluded that although the advantages of acupuncture in the treatment of primary dysmenorrhea are prominent,the pathogenesis is mainly related to the liver,spleen and kidney,which are recognized by most physicians.However,there are still large differences in acupoint compatibility and acupoint selection.Hence,there are still no unified,scientific and standardized diagnosis and treatment standards.Further exploration should be made to guide clinical practice.

Liver transplantation is the only way to treat end-stage liver disease. In order to overcome the shortage of donor, marginal donors have been used widely, which bring about a series of problems. Machine perfusion can stimulate the circulation in vivo and is beneficial for the protection of liver. It could also improve the graft function and reduce postoperative complications, which makes it a hot spot in recent years. The aim of this study is to summarize the current status and prospects of application of machine perfusion on clinical liver transplantation.

Objective This report aims to assess the exposure risk of aflatoxin B1 in edible vegetable oil in Guangxi.Methods By using margin of exposure (MOE),the report analyzes the dietary exposure of aflatoxin B1 in edible vegetable oil with the data from contamination survey and dietary intake survey.Results For the vegetable oil sample,the content of aflatoxin B1 was between 0.50-320.00 μg/kg.The detection rate of peanut oil was 78.08％ (114/146) which was higher than other vegetable oil,and the exceeding rate was 31.51％ (46/146).For peanut oil,the average content was 30.80 μg/kg,the dietary exposure of the population was 17.30 ng/kg BW,and the MOE was 18.For the prepackaged peanut oil samples,the average content of aflatoxin B1 was 6.33 μg/kg,which was below the limit.While for the bulk peanut oil,the average content of AFB1 was 41.50 μg/kg,which was more than 1.08 times of the limit,and the dietary exposure was 25.59 ng/kg BW.The MOE of bulk peanut oil was 12,1/8 of the prepackaged peanut oil.Conclusion Food safety regulators should pay more attention to bulk peanut oil products,the priority in the risk management measures.At the same time,related department should also promote healthy education for the residents.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis in elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods Fifty-six patients with KOA were randomized into the drug therapy group(n=28) receiving only traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis therapy for four weeks and the combined treatment group(n= 28)receiving extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis therapy for four weeks.WOMAC score as an specific severity-of-illness score was used to evaluate knee joint function of patients before and four-week after treatment. Results WOMAC scores of all patients were significantly decreased which indicated states of an illness were improved after four-week treatment as compared with pre-treatment(all P< 0.05).The combined treatment group versus the drug therapy group showed markedly lower WOMAC scores,including pain score(3.17 ± 1.03 vs.5.27 ± 1.58,t= 7.316,P< 0.05),morning stiffness score(2.23 ± 0.91 vs.3.32 ± 1.14,t= 3.440,P< 0.05),activity restrict of daily living score(20.13 ± 6.46 vs.27.35 ± 13.28,t= 4.691,P< 0.05)and total score(28.37 ± 11.62 vs.40.16 ± 5.93,t=8.015,P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with single traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis, the extracorporeal shock wave therapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine iontophoresis therapy may significantly reduce the pain and morning stiffness degree,and enhance activities of daily living in elderly patients with KOA.

OBJECTIVE:To conduct the quality assessment of artificial Aquilaria sinensis by"cutting inducing technique", and provide reference for its scientific planting and harvest. METHODS:GC-MC and HPLC were adopted to detect the volatile in-gredients,characteristic spectrum,incense tetraol and alcohol-soluble extract contents in 3 batches of artificial A. sinensis(Num. 1, 2,3,respectively for 5,10,20 years)by"cutting inducing technique". RESULTS:The volatile ingredients of 3 batches of artifi-cial A. sinensis mainly consisted of aromatic compounds,sesquiterpene compounds,fatty acid compounds and chromone com-pounds. The characteristic spectrums of samples 2,3 were basically the same with the reference substance of A. sinensis. The in-cense tetraol contents of 3 batches of samples were 0.078%-0.254%,and alcohol-soluble extract contents were 12.4%-20.8%. The characteristic spectrum and the incense tetraol content of sample 1 were not conformed to the standards in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition,part 1). CONCLUSIONS:Artificial A. sinensis by"cutting inducing technique"shows similar volatile ingredients to natural A. sinensis. The quality of artificial A. sinensis for more than 10 years is conformed to the standards in Chinese Pharmaco-poeia(2015 edition,part 1),which can be used as medicine,replacing the natural A. sinensis.
