Results Eleven alkaloids were isolated from the stems of N. officinalis and their structures were identified as angustoline (Ⅰ), 19-O-ethylangustoline (Ⅱ), 3-S-3, 4-dihydroangustoline (Ⅲ), 3-R-3, 4-dihydroangustoline (Ⅳ), naucleamide A (Ⅴ), strictosamide (Ⅵ), vincosamide (Ⅶ), 6′-acetyl-strictosamide (Ⅷ), 2′-acetyl-strictosamide (Ⅸ), pumiloside (Ⅹ), 3-epi-pumiloside (Ⅺ). Conclusion Compounds Ⅰ-Ⅺ are isolated from this plant for the first time.

Pedicle screw fixation is widely used in spine surgery, which allows 3?dimensional fixation with a more rigid construct and permits a shorter fusion length. However, conventional pedicle screw fixation has some drawbacks, including signifi?cant muscle dissection for the exposure of bone marks. Although percutaneous pedicle screw technique can compensate for above defects, it requires an additional approach for decompression and bone graft insertion. Besides, the percutaneous pedicle screw technique depends on intraoperative multiplanar fluoroscopy, which results in high risk of radiation exposure of the surgeons and patients. Screw loosening is a well?known complication, especially in osteoporosis patients. Several methods can enhance screw stability, for example, modifying screw design and augmenting vertebral bodies with reinforcing materials that can improve the structural capacity of the deteriorated tissue, however, they also have some disadvantages. Although we can enhance bone?screw by modifying screw design, it is not useful in severe osteoporosis patients. At the same time, bone cement can increase pedicle screw axial pullout strength and fatigue resistance, however, it is associated with a number of inherent disadvantages such as its high exothermic polymerizing temperature, toxicity of the monomer, and risk of leakage to the spinal canal. Santoni et al. intro?duced cortical bone trajectory (CBT) for lumbar pedicle screw with a new screw design that is shorter and smaller in diameter which has been proposed to maximize the thread contact with this higher density bone surface. In addition, the CBT technique fol?lows a caudocephalad path sagittally and a laterally directed path in the transverse plane, engaging only cortical bone in the pedi?cle without the involvement of the vertebral body trabecular space. Finally, the screw insertion point of this technique locates around lateral pars, enabling less tissue dissection. Therefore, it can be an alternative approach to enhance screw fixation strength, and it may rescue failed pedicle screw and be used in minimally invasive spine surgery.

Objective To investigate the influence of smoking,drinking cognition and behavior among the officers and soldiers in South China War Zone after health management,and to explore the establishrent of appropriate health management model for the army.Methods Harmfulness cognition,rate,quantity,types of drinking and smoking were investigated and analyzed before and after health management among 1 102 officers and soldiers in South China War Zone by providing a set of health education,psychological counseling service,disease and lifestyle intervention of health management as a whole.Results The harmfulness cognition rate of smoking and drinking raised from 95.6％ and 94.1％ to 98.7％ and 97.8％,the smoking and drinking rate dropped from 64.7％ and 72.6％ to 37.2％ and 61.4％ after health management.The x2 values were 18,18.9,153,20.8,and had significant difference (P＜0.001).The rate of occasional smoking,a small amount of smoking,often smoking dropped from 28.3％,25.8％,45.9％ to 18.5％,12.2％,31.5％ as well as the rate of occasional drinking,a small amount of drinking,often drinking has dropped from 56.6％,32.3％,11.1％ to 49.8％,23.4％,4.1％.The x2 values were 26.8,62.1,31,9.61,8.06,19.4,and had significant difference (all P＜0.01).Conclusion The health management improves the harmfulness cognition of smoking and drinking,and decreases the rate and quantity of smoking and driking.It has a positive effect on improving the heahh literacy and developing health way of life in officers and soldiers.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of perioperative administration of rhubarb on the acute inflammatory response in patients with gastric cancer. METHODS: In this prospective, single-blinded, controlled clinical trial, thirty-one patients with gastric cancer operatively treated were randomly divided into two groups, with 14 patients in control group and 17 in study group. Patients in both groups were given an isocaloric and isonitrogenous enteral diet. The enteral diet was started 36 hours after operation, and continued for 6 days. Patients in the study group were fed with rhubarb before operation, and at 1 day and 2 days after operation. Indexes of acute inflammatory response such as serum C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and indexes of nutritional status such as serum albumin (ALB), prealbumin (PA) and transferrin (TRF) were measured before operation, and at 1 day, 3 and 7 days after operation. RESULTS: Patients in both groups had acute inflammatory response, and the indexes of nutritional status decreased after operation.IL-6, CRP and TNF-alpha tested at 3 and 7 days after operation were lower in the study group as compared with those in the control group, and the recovery time of gastrointestinal motility such as borborygmus, gas elimination and defecation was shorter in the study group as compared with that in the control group. The indexes of nutritional status showed no significant differences between two groups after operation. CONCLUSION: Rhubarb can positively modulate the acute inflammatory response, promote the recovery of postoperative gastrointestinal motility, and benefit enteral nutrition support in patients who have undergone major operations for gastric cancer.

Objective To explore the effect of hydrocortisone sodium succinate on perioperative airway management in bronchial asthma patients. Methods 47 perioperative bronchial asthma patients with artificial airway in Linzhou City People Hospital were enrolled,and they were randomly divided into control group(24 cases) and therapy group(23 cases). Doxofylline 300 mg intravenous(IV)drip per day was given to the patients in both groups,and in therapy group,additionally hydrocortisone sodium succinate 500 mg IV drip per day was applied. The remission of asthma and changes in vital signs,arterial blood gas and respiratory function were observed in both groups. Results There were no significant differences in remission rate and invalid number at 30 minutes after treatment between therapy group and control group(both P>0.05). The remission rate of asthma in therapy group at 1 hour after treatment was significantly higher than that in control group(95.7%vs. 66.7%,P=0.023),the mean remission time was shorter than that in control group(minutes:38.09±15.93 vs. 45.83±18.75,P=0.012),the respiratory rate was lower(beats/min:20.8±2.3 vs. 22.3±3.3,P=0.042),and arterial partial pressure of oxygen〔PaO2(mmHg,1 mmHg=0.133 kPa):83.5±8.9 vs. 77.9±7.4,P=0.028〕,lactate〔Lac(mmol/L):1.87±0.29 vs. 2.09±0.33,P=0.029〕,forced vital capacity〔FVC(L):3.84±0.23 vs. 3.65±0.31,P=0.004〕and forced expiratory volume in 1 second〔FEV1(L):3.34±0.20 vs. 3.16±0.29,P=0.003〕were significantly increased compared with those in control group. But there were no significant differences in heart rate(HR),arterial oxygen saturation(SaO2),pH value,arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),FEV1/FVC,and peak expiratory flow (PEF)between the two groups(all P>0.05). Conclusion Hydrocortisone sodium succinate in conjunction with doxofylline can relax the symptom of perioperative bronchial asthma patients with artificial airway faster.
