Objective To observe the change of intestinal microflora on the process of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH),and to explore the synbiotics therapeutic effect on NASH.Methods Rats were administrated with high fat diet to establish NASH model.In the process of NASH rats modeling,the level of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), fasting blood sugar (FBS) and fasting insulin (FINS) was dynamically tested by automatic biochemical analyzer.The change of main intestinal flora was detected by 16 S rRNA fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction.NAFLD activity score was calculated.HE staining was used to observe the hepaticpathological changes and the TLR4 expression was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and immunohistochemical method.Until the 4th,8th,10th weekin the process of NASH modeling, 10 rats were feeded with synbiotics for 2 weeks, and all of above indicators were tested and observed.Results 1)With the extension of a high-fat diet feeding time, the degree of hepatocyte steatosis obviously increased.NAFLD score was significantly heightened(P<0.01).2)Number of independent activities of rats significantly increased, the serological level of TG, TC, LDL, FBS and FINS were lower significantly after intervention with synbiotics for 2 weeks(P<0.05).3)Synbiotics intervention for two weeks significantly increased the amount of bifidobacterium and lactobacillus and decrease the amount of enterococcus significantly(P<0.05).4)The expression of TLR4 was gradually increased in the process of NASH rats modeling(P<0.05),but decreased after 2 weeks of the synbiotics-intervention (P<0.05).Conclusions Intestinal microecology change is closely related to the development of NASH,therefor, synbiotics could improve the quality of life and biochemical indicators of NASH rats through adjusting intestinal microecology and the expression level of TLR4 protein might been involved.

Objective:To develop a UPLC method for determining four glycosides in microctis folium.Methods:The UPLC deter-mination was performed on an Agilent SB -C18 (3.0 mm ×50 mm, 1.8 μm) colume with 0.05% acetonitrile -phosphate solution as the mobile phase.The detection wavelength was set at 320 nm.The flow rate was 0.3 ml· min-1.The column temperature was 25℃.Results:Narcissoside, isovitexin, kaempferol-3-rutinoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside all showed good linearity with the re-covery of 98.89%,99.03%, 97.00%and 97.41%, and RSD of 0.41%, 0.84%,0.44%and 0.80%, respectively (n=9).Con-clusion:The method is convenient with good stability , repeatability and sample recovery rate , which provides basis for the quality eval-uation and control of microctis folium.

Sialidosis is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, and has a series of clinical symptoms and signs caused by neuraminidase 1 ( NEU1) gene mutations. This article reviews the etiology, clinical features, diagnoses, treatments and prognoses of sialidosis in order to improve the understanding and diagnosis of this disease and reduce the misdiagnosis of this disease.

Jeavons syndrome is a rare type of childhood onset photosensitive epilepsy syndrome, which is characterized by eyelid myoclonic and absences seizure, photosensitivity, eye closure-induced seizure or eletroencephalographic (EEG) epileptiform discharges. Jeavons syndrome is often underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed. Jeavons syndrome has its unique epileptogenic mechanisms, and theclinical classification is always closely related to its treatments and prognoses. This article reviews the latest development of Jeavons syndrome in order to enhance the understanding of Jeavons syndrome.
