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 evaluate the effect of combination treatment by psychological intervention and a new atypical antipsychotic Paliperidone extended-release tablets(paliperidone ER)on first-episode schizophrenic out-patients.Methods All 62 patients diagnosed as first-episode schizophrenia by DSM-Ⅳ were randomly allocated into,combination treatment group and control group,for a 12-month treatment study.The combination treatment group was treated by paliperidone ER once a day and psychological counseling once a month,while the control group was treated only by paliperidone ER.The efficacy and social function were assessed by Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)and Personal and Social Performance Scale(PSP)individually at baseline,and following 1,3,6,9,12 months.The remission rate was calculated at the end of the 3rd,6th,9th month.The safety and tolerability were assessed using Barnes Akathisia Scale(BARS),extrapyramidal side effects scale(SAS)and involuntary movement scale(AIMS).Results Twenty-seven patients of combination treatment group and seventeen patients of the control group completed the trial with the discontinuation rate 12.9% and 45.2%,respectively.The difference between the above two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05).The mean total score of PANSS and the PSP of the both groups were significantly improved(P<0.05)after treatment.PANSS total score reduced more than 30% compared with baseline,and PSP total score increased more than 7.The remission rate of combination treatment group was 74.2%,51.6% and 67.7% at the end of 3rd,6th,and 9th month,which was better than the control group(45.2%,38.7% and 38.7%)(P<0.05).Both incidence and types of adverse events were almost same between the two groups.The major adverse events were extrapyramidal symptoms,tachycardia,gastrointestinal discomfort and akathisia.Conclusion Paliperidone ER treatment combined with psychological intervention on first-episode schizophrenia out-patients can improve their treatment compliance by reducing the discontinuation rate.And this combination treatment can increase the remission rate and improve social functioning of the patients.

Objective To investigate the etiological characteristics of Streptococcus pyogenes that caused scarlet fever in different periods in Guangdong province.Methods 22 isolates from different periods were analyzed through emm typing,PCR detection for super antigen genes,antibiotic susceptibility test and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE).Results All isolates were susceptible to cefotaxim,levofloxacin and penicillin.Streptococcus pyogenes isolated after the year 2000 were 100% resistant to erythrocin and clindamycin,but the resistant rate for strains isolated before the year 2000 was 9.1% (1/11).There were 3 emm types indentified from 22 isolates including emm12.0 (59.09%,13/22),emm6.0 (36.36%,8/22) and emm1.0 (4.55%,1/22),which were detected in the isolates from the year 1997 and 2011,from 1978 and 1986,and from 2008,respectively.The positive rates for speA,speB,speC,speF,speG,speH,smeZ,and ssa genes detected by PCR were 54.55%,100%,100%,100%,100%,54.55%,0%,and 86.36% respectively.Among all strains,95.45% of the isolates carried 6 superantigen genes simultaneously.Three clusters of 10 PFGE subtypes were identified in 22 isolates.Cluster Ⅰ consisted of all strains from 1997 and one strain from 2011.Cluster Ⅱ consisted of strains isolated from 1978 and 1986.Cluster Ⅲ consisted of nine strains from 2011 and one from 2008.Conclusion S.pyrogenes isolates in Guangdong province were susceptible to penicillin but resistant to erythrocin.emm 12.0 accounted for the majority of the three types and there was a high frequency of super antigen genes.

One hundred and thirty seven pafients diagnosed by coronary angiography were recruited in the study and divided into coronary heart disease group(CAD)and control group.Relationship between serum apolipoprotein M levels and the severity of stenosis of coronary arteries was analyzed.In covariate analysis,serum apolipoprotein M levels were significantly lower in CAD group than those in control group adjusted for sex,age,body mass index(BMI)(P<0.05).By stepwise muhiple regression,serum levels of apolipoprotein M were correlated positively with BMI(r=0.65,P<0.01),and correlated negatively with total cholesterol(TC)(r=-0.53,P<0.01)and low density lipoproteins(LDL-C)(r=-0.42,P<0.01).Serum levels of apolipoprotein M were correlated negatively with the score of coronary stenosis(r=-0.62,P<0.01).The results suggest that apolipoprotein M might be related to the development of coronary artery disease.

Objective To study the molecular characters of porA and porB genes which encode outer membrane proteins (OMP), and predominated clonal complex of Neisseria meningitidis isolates from Guangdong province. Methods Eighteen Neisseria meningitidis isolates from Guangdong province during year 1967 to 2007 were recovered and reconfirmed by API NH biochemical system, and serogrouped by antiserum. The characters of porA and porB gene were analyzed by DNA sequencing. The allele profiles and the sequence types (ST) were determined by multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Based on their allelic profiles, the evolution relationship was analyzed by PHYLIP software. The predominant clonal complex was determined through comparing with the information of reference strains from the PubMLST database. Results For porA gene, type 20 was more frequently in the variable region (VR) 1 and type 9 in VR2 before year 2004. However, for porB gene, type 4 was more frequently in VR Ⅰ, type7 in VR Ⅳ, type 11 in VR Ⅴ,and type 10 in VR Ⅵ, respectively. The multi-types character was presented in VR Ⅴ and VR Ⅵ after2004. VR Ⅶ and VR Ⅷ can not be found among all the isolates except for one W135 isolate in 2007. Among the seven housekeeping genes, the polymorphism of abcZ was the lowest one with 4 allele numbers, while pgm was the highest one with 13 allele numbers. The predominant clonal complex was ST-5 before 2004. The ST-4821 clone complex appeared in 2004 and caused cases every year since then. More important, highly invasive ST-11 clonal complex firstly appeared in Guangdong in 2007. Conclusion The molecular characteristic of OMP genes presents polymorphism for the Neisseria meningitidis isolates from patients in Guangdong province during 1967 to 2007. ST-5 is the predominant clonal complex before 2004 and the highly invasive clonal complex is circulating in recent 3 years. It suggests that the surveillance based on laboratory should be further enhanced.
