Objective To investigate the clinical value of the decfion of percentage of pulmonary perfusion defect score (PPDS％) in patients with pulmonary embolism (PE).Methods A retrospective study was carried out on PPDs％ data of patients(n =36) with clinical confirmed PE.The patients were divided into three levels:low (PPDS％ ＜30％),medial (30％ ≤PPDS％ ＜50％) and high (PPDS％ ≥50％) risk groups,according to the standard of PPDs％ diagnosis.the PPDS％ and the incidence rate of the clinical adverse events were compared in mild,moderate and severe risk PE.The therapeutic results were compared with the PPDS％ changes.Results The mild,moderate and severe risk patients with PE were 15 cases,13 cases and 8 cases respectively,according to the standard of PPDS％ diagnosis.16 cases,12 cases and 8 cases respectively,according to the standard of 2008 ESC APE diagnosis and treatment guidelines.The uniform rate was 94.4％ for two methods,the uniform rate was 100.0％ in which high risk of PE.The PPDS％ of PE was (46.2 ± 4.6) ％ before treatment.The data was significantly higher than that post treatment (31.6％ ± 1.8％) (t =17.38,P ＜ 0.01).The scores of low,medial and high risk patients were (25.9 ± 3.9) ％,(45.6 ± 4.3) ％ and (58.4 ± 4.9) ％ (t =6.18,P ＜ 0.01),respectively.The mild,moderate and severe risk PE according to the PPDS％ standard with clinical adverse events for were 1 cases (6.5％),3 cases (23.0％) and 5 cases (62.5 ％) respectively,with a significant difference (x2 =8.71,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion PPDS％ could be used as an important reference index for risk stratification of diagnosis,evaluating therapeutic efficiency and predicting the prognosis in patients with PE.

The non-alkaloid chemical constituents of dried Phellodendron chinense barks were investigated. A total of 14 phenolic compounds (1-14) were isolated from the 95% ethanol extract of Phellodendron chinense by the utilization of silica gel, medium pressure liquid chromatography, Sephadex LH-20 column chromatography, and preparative liquid chromatography. Among of the isolated compounds, isophellolactone (1) was identified as a new compound. The isolated 14 compounds were further tested the activity on α-glucosidase inhibition. The results for the first time demonstrated that quininic acid ester 3-6 and 8 exhibited good α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. Polyhydroxy hexa-membered carbon ring in quinine ester derivatives is possibly the essential group for the α-glucosidase inhibitory activity.

The study is aimed to make the most of available space of Dendrobium officinale cultivation facility, reveal the yield and functional components variation of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale, and improve quality, yield and efficiency. The agronomic traits and yield variation of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale were studied by operating field experiment. The content of polysaccharide and extractum were determined by using phenol-sulfuric acid method and 2010 edition of "Chinese Pharmacopoeia" Appendix X A. The results showed that the land utilization of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale increased 2.74 times, the stems, leaves and their total fresh or dry weight in unit area of stereoscopic cultivated D. officinale were all heavier than those of the ground cultivated ones. There was no significant difference in polysaccharide content between stereoscopic cultivation and ground cultivation. But the extractum content and total content of polysaccharide and extractum were significantly higher than those of the ground cultivated ones. In additional, the polysaccharide content and total content of polysaccharide and extractum from the top two levels of stereoscopic culture matrix were significantly higher than that of the ones from the other levels and ground cultivation. Steroscopic cultivation can effectively improves the utilization of space and yield, while the total content of polysaccharides and extractum were significantly higher than that of the ground cultivated ones. The significant difference in Dendrobium polysaccharides among the plants from different height of stereo- scopic culture matrix may be associated with light factor.

Objective To investigate prevalence and epidemiologic features of Saffold virus (SAFV) in hospitalized children with acute respiratory infection or digestive tract infection Tianjin area. Methods Nasopharyngeal aspirates from children with acute respiratory infection and fecal samples from children with digestive tract infection in Tianjin Children ’s Hospital were collected from January 2013 to December 2013. Viral nucleic acid was extracted, and SAFV infection was determined by using real-time quantitative PCR. Positive PCR products were sequenced. The sequencing results were aligned with known gene sequences of SAFV sequences in GenBank. The positive viral infection rate of nasopharyngeal aspirates and fecal samples, viral positive constituent ratio and positive detection rate in different age groups, seasonal distribution of SAFV infection were calculated. Other common respiratory tract or digestive tract viruses were also detected. Results Fourty-three (11.9%) nasopharyngeal aspirates from children with acute respiratory infection tested positive for SAFV. There was no significant difference between male and female infected children (aged between 6 d and 12 years old). The 79%(34/43) of the patients with SAFV infection aged under 1 year old. The infection most occurred in summer and winter. The 63 (16.4%) fecal samples from children with digestive tract infection tested positive for SAFV. There was significant difference between male and female infected children (aged between 5 h and 11 years old). SAFV infection was found to be year round. There was no significant difference in different age groups of nasopharyngeal aspirates and fecal samples. The mixed infection rate with SAFV and other respiratory tract or digestive tract viruses were 7.0%(3/43)and 12.7%(8/63), respectively. Conclusion Infection of SAFV had occurred in children with acute respiratory infection or digestive tract infection in Tianjin. SAFV has high detection rate in these children and is more common in children
aged under 1 year old. The data suggest that some of acute respiratory infection or digestive tract infections in pediatric patients are related to SAFV. The Clinical doctors should pay attention to them .
