Objective:To explore the correlation between the indexes of tongue coating exfoliated cells and the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes of patients with chronic gastritis.Methods:One hundred and forty-eight patients with chronic gastritis in our hospital from March 2017 to May 2018 were selected and divided into 4 groups, including 36 patients with spleen and stomach weakness syndrome, 39 patients with liver-stomach discordance syndrome, 32 patients with stomach yin deficiency syndrome, and spleen and 41patients with stomach damp-heat syndrome according to the TCM classification. In addition, another 50 healthy people without cold and heat deficiency syndrome were selected as healthy control group. The maturity index (MI) and mature value (MV) of tongue coating exfoliated cells, chemical indicators and cell cycle of tongue coating exfoliated cells were detected. The spearman rank correlation method was used to analyze the indicators of tongue coating exfoliated cells and TCM syndromes.Results:Compared with the healthy control group, the subjects with spleen and stomach weakness syndrome, liver-stomach discord syndrome, stomach-yin deficiency syndrome, spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome showed significantly higher percentage of intermediate cells [(14.85 ± 4.03) % vs. (26.47 ± 3.94) %, (22.32 ± 5.41) %, (31.47 ± 3.28) %, (35.62 ± 3.96) %, P<0.05], significantly lower percentage of surface cells [(85.15 ± 5.33) % vs. (73.53 ± 6.47) %, (77.68 ± 5.38) %, (68.53 ± 4.20) %, (64.38 ± 4.39) %, P<0.05], and significantly lower percentage of MV value [(92.61 ± 3.74) % vs. (83.52 ± 3.10) %, (87.64 ± 2.95) %, (79.38 ± 3.21) %, (75.63 ± 2.83) %, P<0.05]. Compared with the healthy control group, the ACP, LDH, SDH, and -SH in tongue coating exfoliated cells of subjects with spleen and stomach weakness syndrome, liver and stomach discordance syndrome, and stomach yin deficiency syndrome were all significantly decreased ( P<0.05), while ACP, LDH, SDH, and -SH in subjects with spleen and stomach damp-heat syndrome were all significantly increased ( P<0.05). the percentage of cells in G1 phase of subjects with gastric yin deficiency and spleen and stomach damp-heat syndrome were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), while the percentage of S phase cells were significantly increased ( P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that each syndrome type was correlated with ACP, LDH, SDH, -SH ( r values were 0.608, 0.712, 0.704, 0.631, respectively, all Ps<0.05). Conclusion:Patients with different TCM syndromes of chronic gastritis may have different morphological changes of tongue coating exfoliated cells, large differences in cell cycle, and different levels of cell biochemical indicators.

Objective:
To establish a fluorescence method based on turncated aptamer for the determination of bisphenol A in water.
Methods:
The bisphenol A truncated aptamer containing 38 bases was selected as a recognition module, and was modified with the fluorophore 6-FAM at the 5'end. The 3'end of the complementary sequence cDNA was modified with the quencher DABCYL. The standard solutions of bisphenol A and interfering compounds were configured. The detection system was established after optimizing the number of bases in cDNA, the concentration ratio of truncated aptamer to cDNA, the incubation temperature and time, and the pH of the buffer. The specificity and recovery experiments were carried out.
Results:
When the complementary sequence cDNA included 9 bases, the concentration ratio of the truncated aptamer to cDNA was 1:1.5, the pH value of the buffer solution was 7.5, the cDNA was incubated at 55 ℃ for 60 minutes, in the concentration range of 10-75 pmol/L, the linear regression equation was y=2 230.7x+110 825, the correlation coefficient was 0.926. The limits of detection was 3.3 pmol/L. The difference values of fluorescence intensity between tetrabromobisphenol A, estradiol, estriol, bisphenol S and bisphenol A were obviously different, so there was no significant interference to the test result. The recovery rates were 97.8%, 98.8% and 102.3% with the spiked concentrations of 20.0, 40.0 and 60.0 pmol/L. The relative standard deviations were 4.4%, 2.1% and 2.6% (n=5), respectively.
Conclusion
The fluorescence method based on turncated aptamer has the advantages of easy operation, high sensitivity and specificity, which can be used for the determination of bisphenol A in water.

Objective To analyze the key factors influencing the number of diseases or conditions in which clinical pathways ( CPs) were implemented at public hospitals of China. Methods Based on the questionnaire survey of 51 public hospitals that had implemented CPs in Shanghai, Hubei province, and Gansu province, a multivariate logistic model was used to analyze the factors that influenced the number of CPs implemented in hospitals. Results In terms of the 14 issues and difficulties found in CPs′implementation, the overall acceptance rate was 38. 8% on average among surveyed hospitals, yet with a great variation(from 7. 1% to 100. 0%). A multivariate logistic model showed that the recognition of public hospitals on the issues and difficulties in CPs′implementation did not affect the number of implemented CPs, and tertiary public hospitals had significantly higher number of CPs implemented than secondary hospitals. Conclusions The resources and management capabilities of public hospitals in China are the determinants of CPs′promotion.
