The index components contents of different time and different stubbles in honeysuckle were measured by HPLC, and were analysis by using the method of SPSS. Results showed that the content of index ingredients of different time had differences, and firstly decreased, then increased with time. The content of index ingredients of different stubbles had significantly differences, and firstly decreased, then increased with time. The chlorogenic acid contents were 2.059%-3.593%. The luteolosid contents were 0.110%-0.171%. Results indicated that the best picking buds time is before seven o'clock in the morning and evening at before and after seven o'clock, the index component content is higher. Picking buds in spring and at autumn index component content is higher; Picking buds in summer index component content is low. The experiment provides theoretical support for quality control in the whole process of the honeysuckle harvested and comprehensive utilization of honeysuckle.

Objective To evaluate different post-processing imaging techniques of multi-slice helical CT cholangiography (MSCTC). Methods Fourty-seven patients were suspected of bile duct disease by ultrasound, with no abnormality by ordinary CT. These patients then received MSCTC examination. The original images were post-processed at workstation. The result of post-processed images was compared with that of the laparotomy and surgical bile duct endoscopy. Results Procedures were successful in 45 cases. Thirty-one cases were found with choledocholithiasis. The specificity and the sensitivity of CT virtual endoscopy (CTVE) for choledocholithiasis group were high. Cholangitis and cholangiocarcinoma were detected in 3 each cases.Three cases were finally found to have gallbladder polypus, in which only CTVE provided the diagnosis. The diagnosis of bile duct disease made by ultrasound were finally excluded by CTVE. Conclusions KG1 The available post-processing methods are CTVE and X-proj, MPR is applicable for observing bile duct wall, it is valuable in the diagnosis of all kinds of bile duct disease. CTVE is better than other methods at displaying intraluminal structure.

Objective To discuss the application of different types of bronchial arteriography catheter in performing bronchial artery embolization (BAE) for the treatment of hemoptysis.Methods The clinical data of a total of 97 patients with hemoptysis,who received BAE during the period from January 2013 to May 2016,were collected.According to angiographic findings in aspect of the opening and running direction of the arteries causing bleeding,the responsible arteries were divided into 4 types:upward opening,horizontal opening and running upwards,horizontal opening and running downwards,and downward opening.For each responsible artery,appropriate angiography catheter was selected from the following catheters:MIK catheter,left gastric artery catheter,Cobra catheter,Simmon-1 catheter and Simmon-2 catheter.With super-selective catheterization technique the selected suitable catheter was inserted into the responsible artery and angiography was subsequently performed.The effect of the selection of bronchial arteriography catheter in performing BAE for hemoptysis was analyzed.Results A total of 180 responsible arteries were detected in 97 patients.Of the 180 responsible arteries,artery with upward opening was seen in 42,artery with horizontal opening and running upwards was found in 54,artery with horizontal opening and running downwards was observed in 46,and artery with downward opening was detected in 38.The success rates of super-selective catheterization for MIK catheter,left gastric artery catheter,Cobra catheter and Simmon catheter were 83.3％ (35/42),92.6％ (50/54),87.0％ (40/46) and 89.5％ (34/38,including 30 Simmon-1 catheters and 4 Simmon-2 catheters) respectively.After BAE,the responsible arteries were occluded in all patients,and hemoptysis stopped immediately.The recurrence rate at 6 months after BAE was 7.2％ (7/97).Conclusion For the treatment of hemoptysis,BAE is safe and effective.The key point to ensure a successful BAE is that the selection of appropriate catheter should be based on the opening and running direction of the artery causing bleeding.

Objective To investigate the effect of pedicle screw augmentation with bone cement perfusion on the long segment fixation and fusion in the elderly patients with spinal deformity treated by osteotomy.Methods The cohort data of the older patients aged ≥70 years with spinal kyphosis were retrospectively analyzed in Beijing Hospital,Department of Orthopedic Surgery,Division of Spine Surgery from January 2012 to June 2014.32 cases with complete clinical date were included in this study.The kyphosis of all patients was secondary to thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture.All patients were treated by posterior thoracolumbar spinal osteotomy with long segment fixation and fusion.The patients with fusions including sacral vertebral body fusion or the T score of BMD were less than-5 were excluded.Some patients with neurological compression symptoms also underwent selective decompression in spinal canal and nerve root foramen.All patients were divided into two groups:with (n=14)versus without(n=18)screw augmentation with bone cement perfusion(augmentation vs.non-augmentation/control group).The follow-up time was no less than 12 months.The data of age,gender,operative time,blood loss volume and preoperative bone mineral density were compared between two groups.Cobb angle of postoperative spinal surgery region,lordosis angle of postoperative lumbar,VAS and ODI improvement were analyzed.Data of surgical fixation and fusion segments were recorded.Pedicle screw loosening was compared between two groups.Results In the augmentation group,the pedicle screw loosening didn't occur.But control group showed screw loosening in 7 cases,a euphoric zone around screw in 4 cases,pedicle screw pullout in 2 cases,and vertebral cutting phenomenon with euphotic zone around screw in 1 case.There were no significant differences in ODI improvement rate and surgical satisfaction between the two groups.Conclusions When operative procedures of surgeon are in precision and skillful,bone cement augmentation technique for pedicle screw can reduce the occurrence of pedicle screw loosening in older patients during osteotomy and long segment fixation and fusion operation for spinal kyphosis.

Objective To observe the degradation time and the intimal hyperplasia of biodegradable magnesium alloy stent (MPM) implanted in the abdominal aorta of experimental rabbits.Methods A total of 24 New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups (30 d,60 d,90 d and 180 d) with 6 rabbits in each group.In cach rabbit one MPM stent was implanted in the abdominal aorta at the level of one cm below the left renal artery.Reexamination of abdominal aortography with DSA was separately performed at 30,60,90 and 180 d after stent implantation to check the stent condition.The rabbits of each group were sacrificed at the corresponding scheduled day,the stenting segment of aorta of each rabbit was removed and the specimen was sent for microscopic examination.The experimental results were analyzed with SPSS20.0 software.Results All the 24 experimental rabbits survived.During the follow-up period the stent showed gradual degradation changes,and basically complete degradation was not observed until to 180 days.Meanwhile,the intimal hyperplasia reached its peak at 90 days after implantation.The abdominal aorta remained unobstructed during the whole process of degradation.Conclusion The time of complete degradation for MPM stent is 182 days,which is long enough to meet the needs of vascular positive remodeling.

Objective To assess the clinical factors impacting on the effective time of endocrine therapy for patients with prostate cancer.Methods The chnical data of 432 patients with prostate cancer who accepted endocrine therapy were analyzed retrospectively.The endpoint of the study was failure of endocrine therapy which was defined as continuous elevation of prostate specific antigen (PSA) from nadir for 2 times and more than 0.2 μg/L.The clinical data such as age,clinical stage,lymph node metastasis,bone metastasis,Gleason score,initial PSA,and PSA nadir were collected and their rehtionship with the effective time of endocrine therapy were further assessed via COX regression model.Results Age of onset was 57-88(73.70 ± 7.28) years.Initial PSA was 10.30-588.10(27.15 ± 75.90) μ g/L.The effective time of endocrine therapy was 3-62 (27.01 ± 13.10) months.Univariate regression analysis showed that initial PSA,clinical stage,Gleason score,PSA nadir,lymph node metastasis,bone metastasis were correlated with the effective time of endocrine therapy (P ＜ 0.01).Multivariate regression analysis showed that only Gleason score was correlated with the effective time of endocrine therapy(P=0.001).Compared with patients with Gleason score equal to or less than 3+4,patients with Gleason score equal to or more than 4+3 showed 2.49 fold increased risk of therapy failure (OR =2.49,95％ CI 1.44-4.30).Conclusion Gleason score has close relationship with the effective time of endocrine therapy for patients with prostate cancer,Gleason score equal to or more than 4+3 is an indicator for poor response to endocrine therapy.

Objective To investigate the surgical curative effect of long-segment fixation and fusion on the degenerative scoliosis (DS) in the elderly.Methods The clinical data of 27 patients with DS undergoing surgical treatment from January 2011 to December 2013 in our department in Beijing Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.All patients suffered from degenerative scoliosis accompanied with lumbar canal stenosis, lumbar spondylolisthesis, lumbar vertebrae lateral slip in coronal surface, spinal vertebral rotation deformity and kyphosis.The decompression osteotomy and fixed segment, blood loss volume and operation time were recorded.The differences in scoliosis angle (Cobb angle), lumbar lordotic angle, top vertebral rotation degree (Nash-Moe vertebral rotation grade), apical vertebral offset distance, visual analogue scale (VAS) score and Oswestry disability index (ODI) score were compared between pretreatment versus the last follow-up.Results The selective 1-5 segment decompression and 5-10 segment fusion were selected in a total of 27 patients.Some patients were treated with Smith-Petersen osteotomy (SPO).All of 27 cases were treated with a lamina and inter-transverse fusion, among which 25 cases took inter-vertebral fusion additionally.The time of postoperative follow-up was more than 1 year.The Cobb angle, lumbar lordotic angle, apical vertebral offset distance, VAS and ODI scores were improved after treatment as compared with pretreatment [(11 6) vs.35 6 , (32±10) vs.(17±9) , (16.3±8.2) mm vs.(32.2±9.8) mm, (3.3±1.6) vs.(7.3±2.1), (18±14) vs.(33±14), t=2.469, 2.313, 2.331, 2.362, 2.395, P=0.021, 0.030, 0.029, 0.026, 0.023 respectively].The satisfaction survey result was excellent in 19cases, good in 5 cases, fair in 3 cases.Complications were found in 9 patients, among whom 2 cases had screw loosening in the internal fixation, 2 cases had adjacent segment degeneration, 1 case had pulmonary infection, 1 case had urinary tract infection, 2 eases had spinal fluid leakage, 1 case had epidural hematoma.No serious complications and deaths were observed.Conclusions Under strictly controlling the therapeutic indications, the limited decompression and long-segmental fixation and fusion have good therapeutic efficacy on degenerative scoliosis in elderly patients.
