Rhubarb anthraquinone derivatives (AQs) have been documented to have both therapeutic and toxic effect on liver and kidney, leading to a complex puzzle to assess their benefits and risks. In this study, the tissue distributions of AQs in SD rats after orally administrated extracts of raw and prepared rhubarb were examined whether they undergo different uptake. The total rhubarb extract (14.49 g x kg(-1) of body weight per day od, counted on the quantity of crude material) was administrated orally for 12 weeks. The concentrations of the AQs in different tissues were quantified by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The five major AQs, aloe-emodin, rhein, emodin, chrysophynol and physcion, could all be detected in the liver, kidney and spleen, while only rhein, aloe-emodin and emodin reached the quantitative limit. The tissue concentrations of AQs in raw rhubarb group were higher than that in steamed rhubarb group with rhein > emodin > aloe-emodin in the same tissue. On the whole, the tissue distribution of rhein was higher than that of emodin and aloe-emodin in liver, spleen and kidney. AQs could not be detected in those tissues after drug withdraw for 4 weeks, which suggested scarcely any accumulative toxicity of rhubarb. The result indicated that raw rhubarb had more tissue toxicity than steamed rhubarb and rhein may be one of the major poisonous ingredients. The results were concordant with the traditional Chinese medicine theory of toxicity-attenuating effect of processing.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(10):1488-1492
Objective:
To explore the association between light intensity physical activity (LPA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with body composition, so as to provide data references for improving adolescent physical health.
Methods:
From August 2020 to January 2021, general information of 694 students in grade one of a high school in Foshan City was collected, and the 24 hour activity behavior and body composition of the students were measured objectively by triaxial accelerometer and bioelectrical impedance tester. Dual component multivariate regression and dual compositional isotemporal substitution model were used to explore the relationship between LPA and SB and body composition.
Results:
LPA was associated with lower fat relative dominance (FRD) (male weekends FRD=-21.44%, female weekly FRD=-17.83%, weekdays FRD=-18.27%, P <0.05), and LPA was also associated with higher muscle relative dominance (MRD) and bone relative dominance (BRD) (male weekends MRD=12.78%, BRD= 12.87 %; female weekly MRD=11.64%, BRD=9.01%; female weekdays MRD=12.02%, BRD=9.23%, P <0.05). Replacing sedentary behavior (SB) with 10 minutes of LPA could reduce fat proportion [male:weekly -0.15(-0.26--0.04), weekdays -0.12 (-0.22--0.02); female:weekly -0.18(-0.27--0.08), weekdays -0.16(-0.25--0.07)) and increase muscle proportion (male:weekly 0.14(0.03-0.24), weekdays 0.11(0.02-0.21); female:weekly 0.17(0.07-0.26), weekdays 0.15(0.07-0.24)].
Conclusion
Interrupting continuous SB with LPA can serve as an intervention measure to promote physical health and fitness in adolescents. School should encourage students to engage in frequent LPA during breaks and after school activities, while avoiding prolonged SB.

Objective To analyze the clinical features and prognosis of adult optic neuritis patients with positive serum myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody (MOG-ON) or aquaporin 4 antibody (AQP4-ON).Methods A retrospective study. From December 2015 to February 2018, in the Beijing Chaoyang Hospital of Capital Medical University and Chinese PLA General Hospital, 162 eyes of 132 patients with positive serum MOG antibody and AQP4 were included in the study. There were 42 MOG-ON patients (49 eyes, 31.8%), 90 AQP4-ON patients (113 eyes, 68.2%). The clinical features of optic neuritis (annual recurrence frequency, incidence of optic disc edema), brain and optic nerve enhanced MRI, serum autoimmune antibodies and cerebrospinal fluid test results were compared between MOG-ON and AQP4-ON patients. All patients were treated with intravenous methylprednisolone sodium succinate in the acute phase and then switched to oral prednisone acetate tablets. The average follow-up time was 15 months. The glucocorticoid dependence, visual prognosis, spinal cord symptoms, and myelitis at the last follow-up were comparatively analyzed between MOG-ON and AQP4-ON patients. The comparison of the count data was performed by χ2 test, and the measurement data were compared byt test.Results Compared with AQP4-ON patients, MOG-ON patients had higher annual recurrence frequency (t=3.760,P=0.005), higher incidence of optic disc edema (χ2=14.777,P<0.001), higher incidence of hormone dependence (χ2=25.496,P<0.001), and better visual prognosis (χ2=28.759, P<0.001). MOG-ON patients were more likely to involve the optic nerve, AQP4-ON patients were more likely to involve the optic chiasm and the optic tract. There was a significant difference in the location of lesions between MOG-ON and AQP4-ON patients (χ2= 5.447,P= 0.015). The proportion of AQP4-ON patients with autoimmune antibodies was significantly higher than that of MOG-ON patients (χ2 = 20.453,P<0.001). The results of cerebrospinal fluid test showed that the white blood cell count of patients with MOG-ON and AQP4-ON were within the normal range, but the IgG level of AQP4-ON patients was significantly higher than that of MOG-ON patients (t=8.669,P<0.001). At the last follow-up, there were 7 and 29 patients of myelitis in MOG-ON and AQP4-ON patients respectively (χ2=3.494,P=0.046).Conclusions The clinical characteristics of MOG-ON were different from AQP4-ON. The incidence of optic disc edema and recurrence rate were higher, but the proportion of autoimmune antibodies was lower. MOG-ON was more likely to show hormone dependence, but the visual prognosis was better. AQP4-ON was easily involved in optic chiasm and optic tract, and the incidence of myelitis was higher.

Objective To explore the effects of bundle care on preventing cannula dislocation for tracheotomy in patients with inhalation injury. Methods Totally 51 patients who received tracheotomy in the First Affiliated Hospital of PLA General Hospital between January 2010 and December 2014 were selected as a control group, while another 36 patients with inhalation injury who were admitted and received tracheotomy from January 2015 to May 2017 were selected as an observation group. Patients in the control group received conventional nursing after tracheotomy, while patients in the observation group received safely managed bundle care on the basis of conventional nursing. The incidence of unanticipated cannula dislocation after tracheotomy and before extubation were then observed between the patients in the two groups. Results The incidence of unanticipated cannula dislocation of the patients in the observation group and the control group was 2.8% (1/36) and 19.6% (10/51), respectively (χ2=5.412,P< 0.05). Conclusions Bundle care, when applied in the management of cannula for tracheotomy in patients with inhalation injury, can reduce the incidence of unanticipated cannula dislocation.
