Objective: To investigate six mineral element contents of rice bran and milled rice from three color rice cultivars (white rice, red rice, black rice). Methods: Select 36 typical cultivars and determine Se, Zn, Fe, Ca, Mn, Cu contents in their rice bran and milled rice with AFS-2201 atomic fluorescent spectrometer and AA-680 atomic absorption spectrometer. Results: 1. The six mineral element contents of rice bran were 2.58, 3.35, 10.04, 4.58, 12.79 and 6.59 times as those of milled rice respectively. 2. The Ca content of black milled rice was significantly higher than that of white and red milled rice. The Mn content in rice bran of white rice was significantly higher than those of black and red rice. Other mineral element contents were not significantly different. 3. For rice bran and milled rice of different cultivars, the contents of each mineral element in three color rices varied greatly. Conclusions: 1. The content of six minerals in rice bran was 5.66 times on average as that in milled rice in all cultivars of three color rice. 2. Eight cultivars of the highest content of each mineral in rice bran and milled rice were recommended for commercial use and human consumption.

Objective To integrative the effect of ulinastatin on postoperative cognitive function in elderly gastric cancer surger-y.Methods Two hundred elderly patients with gastric cancer surgery were randomly divided into observed group (100 cases)and control group (100 cases).Patients in observed group received the intravenous drip of ulinastatin before and after the surgery,while others only received the intravenous drip of physiological saline before and after the surgery.Results The urine output of observed group was (441.7±78.5)mL,which was significantly lower than that in control group as the result was (613.2±81.2)mL(P <0.05).After the treatment,the score of MMSE,visual regeneration and association learning in both observed group and control group were significantly lower than that before the treatment(P <0.05).The scores of MMSE,visual regeneration and association learning in observed group were 24.4±1.5,9.7±1.7 and 12.4±1.8,which were significantly higher than that in control group as the scores were 21.1±1.0,8.7±1.5 and 11.3±1.7 (P <0.05).The level of S100βin serum of observed group at the end of sur-gery,1 day and 3 day after the surgery were (0.099±0.024)μg/L,(0.074±0.026)μg/L and (0.061±0.022)μg/L,which were significantly lower than that in control group as the results were (0.138±0.042)μg/L,(0.110±0.034)μg/L and (0.075±0.031)μg/L (P < 0.05).Conclusion Ulinastatin can not only improve the postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients with postoperative,but can also reduce the level of S100βin serum.It provides brain protection for patients.

Objective To evaluate the reliability of serum catecholamine concentrations in reflecting the depth of dexmedetomidine-based general anesthesia.Methods Forty patients,aged 30-45 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅱ,undergoing elective laparoscopic hysterectomy under general anesthesia,were divided into 2 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:dexmedetomidine-based general anesthesia group (group Ⅰ) and general anesthesia group (group Ⅱ).Dexmedetomidine was intravenously infused as a loading bolus of 1 μg/kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia,followed by an infusion of 0.5 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until 30 min before the end of operation in group Ⅰ.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in group Ⅱ.Anesthesia was induced with iv midazolam 0.05 mg/kg,propofol 1 mg/kg,cisatracurium 0.15 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.4 μg/kg.Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of remifentanil 0.1-0.3 μg · kg-1 · min 1,1％-2％ sevoflurane inhalation and intermittent iv boluses of cisatracurium.Before administration of dexmedetomidine,at the end of administration of the loading dose,at the end of intubation,at the end of skin incision,after establishment of pneumoperitoneum and at the end of operation (T0-5),venous blood samples were taken from the peripheral vein for determination of concentrations of epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) in serum (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).Results Compared with group Ⅱ],the serum NE and E concentrations were significantly decreased at T1-4 in group Ⅰ (P＜0.05).Compared with the baseline at T0,the serum NE and E concentrations were significantly decreased at T1 in group Ⅰ,and increased at T2-4 in group Ⅱ (P＜0.05).Conclusion The serum catecholamine concentration produces poor reliability in reflecting the depth of dexmedetomidine-based general anesthesia,and thus it is not a suitable monitoring index.

ObjectiveMetabolomics was utilized to investigate the preventive effect of notoginseng total saponins（NTS） on aspirin（acetyl salicylic acid， ASA）-induced small bowel injury in rats. MethodFifty male SD rats were randomly divided into normal and model groups， NTS high-dose and low-dose groups（62.5， 31.25 mg·kg^-1）， and positive drug group（omeprazole 2.08 mg·kg^-1+rebamipide 31.25 mg·kg^-1）， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， rats in other groups were given ASA enteric-coated pellets 10.41 mg·kg^-1 daily to establish a small intestine injury model. On this basis， each medication group was gavaged daily with the corresponding dose of drug， and the normal group and the model group were gavaged with an equal amount of drinking water. Changes in body mass and fecal characteristics of rats were recorded and scored during the period. After 14 weeks of administration， small intestinal tissues of each group were taken for hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， scanning electron microscopy to observe the damage， and the apparent damage of small intestine was scored. Serum from rats in the normal group， the model group， and the NTS high-dose group was taken and analyzed for metabolomics by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）， and the data were processed by multivariate statistical analysis， the potential biomarkers were screened by variable importance in the projection（VIP） value≥1.0， fold change（FC）≥1.5 or ≤0.6 and t-test P<0.05， and pathway enrichment analysis of differential metabolites was performed in conjunction with Human Metabolome Database（HMDB） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）. ResultAfter 14 weeks of administration， the average body mass gain of the model group was lower than that of the normal group， and the NTS high-dose group was close to that of the normal group. Compared with the normal group， the fecal character score of rats in the model group was significantly increased（P<0.05）， and compared with the model group， the scores of the positive drug group and the NTS high-dose group were reduced， but the difference was not statistically significant. HE staining and scanning electron microscopy results showed that NTS could significantly improve ASA-induced small intestinal injury， compared with the normal group， the small bowel injury score of the model group was significantly increased（P<0.01）， compared with the model group， the small bowel injury scores of the NTS low and high dose groups were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum metabolomics screened a total of 75 differential metabolites between the normal group and the model group， of which 55 were up-regulated and 20 were down-regulated， 76 differential metabolites between the model group and the NTS groups， of which 14 were up-regulated and 62 were down-regulated. NTS could modulate three differential metabolites（salicylic acid， 3-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid）， which were involved in 3 metabolic pathways， namely， the bile secretion， the biosynthesis of folic acid， and the biosynthesis of phenylalanine， tyrosine and tryptophan. ConclusionNTS can prevent ASA-induced small bowel injury， and the underlying mechanism may be related to the regulation of bile secretion and amino acid metabolic pathways in rats.
