Objective:To simultaneously determine the contents of ginsenoside Rb1 , ginsenoside Rb2 , ginsenoside Rb3 , ginsen-oside Re, ginsenoside Rg1 , ginsenoside Rf and ginsenoside Ro in Qipi pills by HPLC-QTOF-MS. Methods: The determination was performed on an Agilent Poroshell 120 EC-C18 column (2. 1 mm × 50 mm,2. 7 mm) with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile( A)-water(B, containing 0. 1% formic acid) with gradient elution. The flow rate was 0. 21 ml·min-1. The column temperature was 30℃. The MS instrument was equipped with an ESI+ ion source. The exacted ion chromatograms were used to determine the quantities of different compounds in the samples while the mass spectra of product ions were used for confirming the compounds. Results:All the 7 kinds of ginsenoside showed good linearity (r>0. 9993). The RSDs of precision, repeatability and stability tests were all less than 5%. The average recoveries were within the range of 97. 11%-101. 98%. Conclusion:The method is simple, rapid and reliable with high specificity, which can be used for the quality control of Qipi pills.

Objective To explore current status of health-related productivity loss and its risk factors among nurses.Methods Stanford presenteeism scale (SPS-6) and self-designed questionnaire were used to investigate current status of health-related productivity loss and its risk factors among 1122 nurses working in a tertiary hospital in Changchun city.Results Compared with hired nurses,age and work seniority of permanent nurses were significantly higher(Z =-19.49,-19.28 ;P <0.05).The average score of SPS-6 of all the participants was 20.05 ± 4.37.The score of SPS-6 of married nurses was significantly lower than other nurses (Z =-3.52,P < 0.05) ; and the score of SPS-6 of nurses less than 30 years old was significantly higher than those above 30 years old (Z =-2.49,P < 0.05).There were no significant differences between the SPS-6 score of education degree and department.(Z =-1.37,x2 =0.58 ; P >0.05).The result of GLM showed that employment status and work seniority were independent risk factors of health-related productivity loss among nurses.The scores of SPS-6 of permanent nurses was significantly lower than hired nursed (x2 =4.48,P < 0.05),and those who had worked for less than 3 years showed significantly higher score of SPS-6 than those who had worked longer (x2 =12.89,P < 0.05).Conclusions Health-related productivity loss do exist among nurses.Improving health management may help to reduce this loss of productivity.

Objective To express and purify recombinant and biologically active Clostridium difficile toxin B (rTcdB). Methods The genes of TcdB were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using chromosomal DNA from a toxigenic strain, and cloned into a shuttle vector pHis1522.The sequences of TcdB genes in the vector were verified by DNA sequencing. The construction was transformed into Bacillus megaterium protoplasts and the protein expression was driven by a xylose promoter. The purified protein was tested for biological activity. Results rTcdB was successfully purified from bacterial crude extracts. Approximately 5-10 mg of highly purified recombinant toxin was obtained from one liter of bacterial culture. The expressed rTcdB had molecular mass similar to the native toxin, and its biological activity was proved to be similar to its native counterpart after an extensive examination. Conclusion rTcdB with biological activities is successfully expressed in Bacillus megaterium.

Objective: To explore the role of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase-II δ (CaMK-II δ) in doxorubicin (DOX) induced cardio-toxicity in experimental rats.
Methods:①The rat’s cardiomyocytes were treated by DOX and the cell proliferation, protein expression and activity of CaMK-II δ were examined.②CaMK-II δ gene was knocked out by CRISPR method, the changes of DOX induced cell apoptosis and NF-κb activity and miR-146a expression were detected.
Results: DOX could inhibit cardiomyocyte proliferation, the protein expression level of CaMK-II δ was similar and the activity was increased. CRISPR method may effectively knock out CaMK-II δ gene. Compared with normal cells, the cells from CaMK-II δ knocked out rats had decreased sensitivity to DOX induction, suppressed NF-κb activation and miR-146a up-regulation.
Conclusion: CaMK-II δ participated in DOX induced cardio-toxicity in experimental rats and NF-κb and miR-146a were involved in this process.

This study aimed at exploring the features of the body constitution and syndrome types of TCM in patients with pSS.General information of 60 patients with pSS was collected.Their TCM syndrome types and TCM body constitution types were examed,while the distribution of pSS syndrome types in terms of their body constitution was analyzed.Among 60 pSS patients,58 of them (96.67%) were female with the average age of 52 years and an average course of 63 months.Their usual residence was Xinjiang.Their most common first symptoms included thirst,dry eyes and joint pain,and the damage of skin and mucous membranes and blood system was rare.It was found that the syndrome of both qi and yin deficiency was the most common (48.33%),followed by the impregnation syndrome of heat and dampness (26.67%) and the syndrome of the weakness of spleen qi (25%) in pSS patients.Yin deficiency (58.33%) and yang deficiency (58.33%) in the body constitution of TCM accounted for decent proportions,followed by the constitutions of qi stagnation (48.33%),qi deficiency (45.00%),blood stasis (38.33%),phlegm-dampness (36.67%),damp-heat (18.33%),allergic (13.33%) and yin-yang harmony (1.67%).Those without the health education of pSS accounted for 51.11% in cases of palindromia.In conclusion,yin deficiency and yang deficiency constitutions were most common,at most,the body constitution of both qi and yin deficiency,in pSS patients in accordance with TCM body constitution.Most pSS patients of palindromia didn't received professional health education of pSS.All the causes above suggested that we should make individualized treatment programs according to clinical syndrome types and the characteristics of TCM body constitution in pSS patients for strengthening the health management of pSS and improving their quality of life.

Objective:To develop a method of quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker( QAMS) for nine kinds of alkaloids in Xiaohuoluo pills. Methods: An HPLC-QTOF-MS method with an Agilent ZORBAX Extend-C18 RRHT(2. 1 mm × 50 mm,1. 8 μm) column was applied. The flow rate was 0. 21 ml·min-1 . The column temperature was 30 ℃. The mobile phase was methanol (A)-water (B;containing 0. 1% formic acid and 2. 5 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate) with gradient elution. The aconitine was used as the internal standard, and the relative correction factor ( RCFs) of hypaconitine, mesaconitine, benzoylaconine, benzoyl-hypaconine, benzoylmesaconine, aconine, hypaconine and mesaconine was respectively established, and the reproducibility inspection on the RCF was performed. The contents of the other 8 kinds of aconitum alkaloids were calculated according to the RCF. At the same time, an external standard method ( ESM) was performed for the content determination of the nine alkaloids. The results of the two methods were compared. The feasibility and accuracy of the QAMS method were verified. Results:Within a certain range,the RCF of hypacontine,mesacontine, benzoylaconine, benzoylhypaconine, benzoyl mesaconine, aconine, hypaconine and mesaconine to aconitine was 1. 736,1. 979,1. 0471,0. 9242,1. 2901,1. 3078,1. 2859,and 1. 0948,respectively. The QAMS method was established for determi-ning alkaloids. There were no significant differences between the results of the QAMS method and those of the external standard method ( ESM) . Conclusion:With the validation of methodology, the method established in our study can be used for the content determina-tion of aconitine, hypaconitine, mesaconitine, benzoylaconine, benzoylhypaconine, benzoylmesaconine, aconine, hypaconine and mesaconine in xiaohuoluo pills.
