This study was aimed to assay the antibacterial activity of compounds from Rabdosia rubescens. Disc dif-fusion (K-B method) was used to screen the in vitro antibacterial activity. All kinds of chromatography were used to isolate the chemical constituent and structure was identified by MS and NMR spectroscopy. The results showed that six compounds were isolated and identified as oridonin (1), rosmarinic acid (2), caffeic acid (3), salicylic acid (4), ferulic acid (5), vanillic acid (6). Oridonin had activity against Staphylococcus aureus (SA), Methcillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), β-lactamase positive Staphylococcus aureus (ESBLs-SA), and showed the highest ac-tivity (MIC is 3.125, 6.25 and 6.25 μg·disc-1, respectively), but was still weaker than that of berberine as positive control (MIC is 0.156 μg·disc-1). Ferulic acid had activity against SA and MRSA (MIC is 50 and 50 μg·disc-1, re-spectively). Salicylic acid had only activity against SA (MIC 50 μg·disc-1). It was concluded that oridonin, ferulic acid and salicylic acid were the main antibacterial activity compounds from R. rubescens.

OBJECTIVE:To analysis the volatile components in wild strains of Rabdosia rubescensin in Jiyuan area. METH-ODS:Headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) was conducted to extract the volatile components in 43 wild species of R. rubescens,GC-MS was conducted to identify the components,and peak area normalization method was conducted to calculate the relative content of the components. RESULTS:The variety and relative contents of the volatility components in 43 wild species had obvious differences and the ranges of species number and relative content was from 0 to 11 and from 0 to 84.03% respectively. Caryophyllene,caryophyllene oxide,dihydroactinidiolide,phytone and patchouli alcohol were main components which existed in a variety of different strains of volatile components of R. rubescens,and were mainly composed of terpenes,ketones,alcohols and es-ters. In addition,fatty acids such as palmitic acid,oleic acid and linoleic acid were contained in a few individual varieties. CON-CLUSIONS:The internal quality in 43 wild species of R. rubescens has certain differences.

Objective :
To learn the preference and determinants for institute-based care of the elderly in Zhejiang Province.
Methods :
By multi-stage sampling and convenient sampling methods,three communities and three villages from Hangzhou,Jinhua and Yongkang as investigation spots,respondents who aged 60 years or above and lived for one year or more were selected for a questionnaire survey to learn their preference for institute-based care. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors for preference of institute-based care among the elderly.
Results :
A total of 390 valid questionnaires were collected,accounting for 91.76%. Among them,there were 219 men and 171 women, accounting for 56.15% and 43.85; 155 old people chose institute-based care,accounting for 39.74%. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis illustrated that the elderly who had three children or more had less preference for institute-based care(OR=0.072,95%CI:0.007-0.742);the elderly who lived with spouse(OR=0.395,95%CI:0.188-0.833),with children(OR=0.323,95%CI:0.132-0.791),with spouse and children(OR=0.305,95%CI:0.139-0.673),compared with the elderly who lived alone,had less preference for institute-based care;the elderly who lived in rural areas,compard with the elderly who lived in urban areas had less preference for institute-based care(OR=0.404,95%CI:0.224-0.730);the elderly without chronic diseases had less preference for institute-based care(OR=0.485,95%CI:0.292-0.805).
Conclusion
Having three or more children,living with spouse,living with children,living with spouse and children,living in rural areas and living without chronic diseases are determinants for choosing institute-based care among the elderly.

Objective:To understand the driving factors of postpartum health promotion behaviors in pregnant women with gestational diabetes.Methods:From September to October 2019, the purpose of the sampling method was to select 14 cases of gestational diabetic gynaecologists who visited the outpatient department of diabetes care in our hospital as the research subjects. The phenomenological research method was used to conduct a semi-structured interview. Colaizzi′s 7-step analysis method was used to organize and analyze the data to refine the subject.Results:The driving force of postpartum health promotion behaviors of gestational diabetes mothers mainly came from the internal driving force and the external driving force. The internal driving force was mainly the uncertainty of gestational diabetes, the solution of the problem improves self-worth, and the post-traumatic growth made patients re-understand life. The external driving force was mainly family support, full mobilization of subjective initiative, quantitative diet intake and building of a healthy lifestyle.Conclusions:The driving factors for postpartum health promotion of gestational diabetic women are complex and diverse. Medical staff should timely grasp the post-natal health promotion status of gestational diabetic women, and promote their self-support and social support.

Objective:To investigate the clinical curative effect of closed reduction and internal fixation of Jakob type II lateral humeral condyle fractures in children under ultrasound guidance.Methods:A retrospective case series analysis was made on clinical data of 59 patients with Jakob type II lateral humeral condyle fractures treated at Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from August 2016 to August 2017. There were 30 males and 29 females, with the age of 1.5-8.1 years [(4.0±1.8)years]. There were 34 patients treated by open reduction and internal fixation and monitored by the X-ray (control group), and 25 patients treated by closed reduction and internal fixation and monitored by ultrasound (study group). The operation time, bleeding volume, fracture healing time, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups. The elbow joint function was evaluated by Broberg and Morrey standard at the latest follow-up.Results:All patients were followed up for 17-31 months[(23.2±4.2)months]. The operation time and bleeding volume in control group were (50.7±22.2)minutes and (6.1±3.8)ml, obviously higher than those in study group [(21.4±3.3)minutes, (1.1±0.3)ml] ( P<0.05). The fracture healing time was (8.0±0.8)weeks in control group and (7.8±0.7)weeks in study group ( P>0.05). According to the Broberg and Morrey standard, the good and excellent rate of elbow joint function in control group was 97%, with excellent results in 31 patients, good in 2, fair in 1, and poor in 0; the good and excellent rate of elbow joint function in study group was 100%, with excellent results in 22 patients, good in 3, fair in 0 and poor in 0 ( P>0.05). In study group, wound infection or malunion was not seen, and only two patients showed postoperative wire tail irritability and recovered after the removal of wires. While in control group, wound infection was seen in 3 patients and malunion was observed in 2 patients, but all patients were with distal humerus lateral bone formations. The incidence of complications was 15% in control group, higher than 0% in study group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared to open reduction internal fixation, ultrasound-guided closed reduction and internal fixation of Jakob type Ⅱ lateral humeral condyle fractures in children has similar therapeutic effect, but it can shorten operation time and reduce bleeding and complications.

Vigabatrin-associated brain abnormalities on magnetic resonance imaging (VABAM) is a relatively rare side effect of vigabatrin, most of which are asymptomatic. However, there will be extremely rare cases with hyperkinetic disorders, myoclonus, tremor, and acute encephalopathy under certain circumstances. VABAM is often underappreciated by physicians and its accurate incidence remains unclear. A female infant who was diagnosed with infantile spasms and required adrenocorticotropic hormone therapy accompanied by various antiseizure medicines was reported. Unfortunately, she became lethargic and her spasm deteriorated gradually after vigabatrin exposure. Her brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed abnormal signals bilaterally in the dorsal midbrain, thalamus, and rostral part of the pallidum. She had a seizure amelioration and became lively as a result of vigabatrin withdrawal. In the meanwhile, magnetic resonance imaging returned to normal. Attempts were made to discover the risk factors of VABAM and potential pathogenesis. Further understanding of the disease should contribute to decreasing misdiagnosis and making precise decisions.
