Objective To establish the quality control standard of Kechuanling Plaster. Methods Semen sinapis in Kechuanling Plaster was identified by TLC. The content of ?-asarone in Kechuanling Plaster was identified by HPLC. Results Semen sinapis in Kechuanling Plaster could be detected by TLC. ?-asarone shows a good linear relationship at range of 0.132~0.308 ?g (r=0.9999). The average recovery was 101.7% and RSD was 2.0%. Conclusion The method was simple, specific and accurate. This study provide a method for the quality control of Kechuanling Plaster.

The occurrence of epilepstic seizures in patients with cerebral palsy (CP) remains a serious event and is very disruptive for children who already suffered from orther disabilties. Data from population-based studies or neurodevelopmental clinic studies showed that 8%~62% of patients with CP suffer from epilepsy. The incidence is highest in spastic tetraplegia and hemiplegia. Half of the patients were onset within the first year of age. Children with tetraplegia CP tended to have an earlier onset of epilepsy than chlidren with other CP types. Partial seizures were the most common seizure types, followed by infantile spasms and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome. Low birth weight, neonatal seizures, family history of epilepsy, lower intelligence and grey matter damage were found to be related to significantly increased risk of epilepsy. Epilepsy in children wih CP usually had poor outcome, half of them were intractable and needed polytherapy. Only 37%~65.2% of patients became seizure-free.

Objective To analyze the prevalence of the various hematological malignancies (HM) in Harbin.Methods Study data was collected from January 2010 to December 2011.All cases were diagnosed and classified on the basis of blood test,bone marrow puncture,histochemical staining and typing and classified by the French American British classification.The age and sex distribution of HM and its subtypes were analyzed.Results Of 2214 Chinese people diagnosed with HM,acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) (33.5 %) and myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) (29.9 %) were the most prevalent and of 742 AML,the most frequent subtypes were M3.With the growth of age,the rates of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and multiple myeloma (MM) were increased,but in acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL),this trend was reversed.The distribution of HM increased with age between 0-60 years old,in above 60 years old,the frequency of some chronic HM including CLL,chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML),chronic neutrophilic leukemia (CNL) and MM were continued to rise,but other HM subtypes were decrease,lower than in 41-60 years old groups.This study also revealed that M0 and MPAL were more common in 0-20 years as well as ALL.For patients never drinking alcohol and drinking for at least 10 years maybe associated with acute leukemia [OR =1.53 (95 % CI 1.05-2.23)],while smoking wasn' t a substantial risk factor for acute and chronic leukemia (P =0.20,0.48).Conclusions The epidemiology of HM in Harbin indicates that AML is the most prevalent,followed by MDS.Prevalence of CLL and MM increases with the age in patients above 60 years old.Drinking for at least 10 years maybe associated with acute leukemia.

Objective To investigate the correlation between clinical presentations and the findings of video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS)in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Methods A total of 56 consecutive patients with post-stroke dysphagia admitted to Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from June 2012 to May 2014 were enrolled. Four different kinds of food were selectively used to complete clinical assessment of swallowing function and VFSS respectively. The SPSS 20. 0 statistical software was used to perform univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses for all observed indexes of the 2 methods. Results there were significant correlations in the point correspondence relation among the clinical manifestations and VFSS in food residue in the mouth and abnormal closure of lips in the oral phase (95%CI 1. 430-101. 468;P=0. 022);poor soft palate elevation and food residue in the mouth (95%CI 1. 476-102. 033;P=0. 020);graded swallowing and piecemeal deglutition with delayed oral transit (95% CI 2. 616 -182. 897;P = 0. 004);tongue movement disorders,poor soft palate elevation and tongue dyskinesia with poor bolus formation (95%CI 1. 468-50. 795,1. 220-13. 825;P=0. 017,0. 023);food leak from the corner of mouth,dysphagia,bolus falling to the epiglottis from the base of tongue or trachea (95%CI 1. 146-125. 459,1. 657-174. 400;P=0.038,0. 017). The weakened pharyngeal reflex with weak laryngeal elevation in the pharyngeal phase (95%CI 1. 150-92. 815;P =0. 037);dysphagia and delayed swallowing with prolonged triggering of swallowing reflex (95%CI 2. 123-37. 770,1. 233-114. 176;P=0. 003,0. 032);graded swallowing,hard swallowing, choking sensation,and poor laryngeal elevation with prolonged pharyngeal transit (95%CI 1. 619-223. 316,1. 061-31. 445,2. 834 -132. 707;P =0. 019,0. 042,and 0. 003);dysphagia and the opening of cricopharyngeal muscle insufficiency (95%CI 1. 037 -24. 115;P =0. 045);weak laryngeal elevation,foreign body sensation in the throat,and choking after swallowing with food retention or residual in vallecula or pyriform sinus (95%CI 1. 046 -13. 685,1. 116 -87. 741;P =0. 043, 0.040);and coughing during swallowing and eating choking or aspiration (95%CI 0. 010-0. 921,0. 037-0. 826;P=0. 042,0. 028). Conclusion Some clinical manifestations are closely correlated with the swallowing dysfunction revealed by VFSS. With the help of this law,it may more simply and safely determine the degree and type of dysphagia in patients,and provide guidance for patients with dysphagia after stroke who can not accept VFSS in the rehabilitation treatment.

This study aimed to identify Belamcandae Rhizoma, Iridis tectori Rhizoma and their adulterants by ITS2 sequence. All the DNA samples of Belamcandae Rhizoma, Iridis tectori Rhizoma and their adulterants were extracted. The ITS2 sequence were succesfully amplified, and purified PCR products were sequenced. All the sequences were assembled using the CondonCode Aligner V3.7.1. The Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) genetic distances and the Neighbor-Joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree were calculated by using MEGA5.1. Results indicated that the maximum intraspecific genetic distances of Belamcandae Rhizoma was 0, and the average GC content was 52.22%;the maximum intraspecific genetic distances of Iridis tectori Rhizoma was 0.004, and the average GC content was 67.87%. The maximum K2P intraspecific genetic distance of Belamcanda chinensis, Iris tectorum were both lower than the minimum interspecific genetic distance of adulterants. Additionally, the ITS2 sequences in each of these polytypic species were separated into pairs of divergent clusters in the NJ tree. The NJ tree based on ITS2 sequence indicated that Belamcandae Rhizoma, Iridis tectori Rhizoma and their adulterants could be distinguished clearly. It could be concluded that ITS2 barcode can be used to correctly identify Belamcandae Rhizoma, Iridis tectori Rhizoma from their adulterants, and ensure their safety in use.

Objective To observe the effect of exhaustive exercise on the function of the kidney in rats and explore the mechanism. Methods Fourteen male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sedentary control group (group C) and exhaustive exercise group (group E). They were measured the urine protein, uric acid, glucose, and blood urea nitrogen after exercise. The reactive oxygen species, inducible ni-tric oxide synthase, nitro tyrosine in kidney, and nephrin protein in the kidney were detected with fluorescent probe and Western blotting, re-spectively, and observed under Harris staining. Results There were significant differences between groups C and E in urine protein, uric ac-id, glucose, blood urea nitrogen, reactive oxygen species, inducible nitric oxide synthase, nitrotyrosine and nephrin protein (P<0.05). The glomerular morphology and the deformation of capillary basement membrane were found under the fluorescence microscope in group E. Conclusion Exhaustive exercise may damage the structure of kidney in rats, which may associate with oxidative stress.
