Objective: To establish a method for the determination of six active ingredients in Eucommia ulmoides male flowers, and analyze the dynamic changes of male flower development and active ingredients content of E. ulmoides. Methods: The active ingredients were extracted by the ultrasound-assisted process, the content of total flavonoids was determined by AlCl3 colorimetric method and other six ingredients were determined by HPLC, the samples were separated on a Thermal hypersil gold column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 μm) with gradient elution of methanol-0.5% phosphoric acid at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, the UV wavelength was set at 206 nm (0-15 min), 236 nm (15-55 min), and 255 nm (55-100 min). Results: Flower diameter, flower height, fresh weight, dry weight, stamen length and stamen number all reached the maximum at full bloom stage; The contents of total flavonoids, chlorogenic acid and total active ingredients were the highest at the bud stage and the lowest at the initial flowering stage; The content of aucubin showed a tendency of graudal decreasement; The content of geniposidic acid was the lowest at the bud stage and reached the highest at full bloom stage, and decreased at the end of flowering phase; The content of geniposide, isoquercitrin and astragaline were the highest at full bloom stage and the lowest at the initial flowering stage. Conclusion: Flowering stage had a great impact on morphology, yield, active ingredients content and quality of E.ulmoides male flowers, which could provide important information for quality control and product development of E.ulmoides male flowers.

Objective To observe the changes of immunological parameters and the effects of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in children with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP),schonlein-Henoch purpura(HSP) and mucocutaneoas lymph node syn-drome(kawasaki disease, KD).Methods T cell subsets and serum immunoglobulins and complements were measured with the flow cytometry and enhanced trubidimetric immunoassay. Routine therapy combined with IVIG. Results CD3+ CD4+ T cells were de-creased in children with ITP accompanied by increased serum IgG;Serum IgA and CD3+ T cells were increased in children with HSP; CD3+ CD8+ T cells were decreased in children with KD. Clinical features were markedly improved after treatment with IVIG. It was noted that the incidence of damage to coronary artery decreased after the use of IVIG. Conclusions T cell subsets, serum immunoglobulins should undergo the clinical routine examinations in ITP,HSP and KD. Early administration of IVIG might be important to improve disease prognosis and shorten its course of treatment in children with three kinds of immunology related diseases.

0.05);2)After 12,24,36 months' treatment,BP was decreased significantly in each group (P0.05).Conclusion Both combined spirono- lactone/HCTZ and captopril/HCTZ significantly reduced BP and LVMI or LVMI and the maguitude of reduction was further enhanced after prolonged treatment.

Complete healing of the intestinal mucosa is the most ideal goal in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The intestinal mucosa healing not only significantly alters the course of the disease and relieves clinical symptoms, but also markedly reduces the occurrence of complications and prevents recurrence of IBD. As chronic inflammation associated with peptic ulcer damage is the main pathological feature of IBD, clinical treatment is mainly based on anti-inflammatory therapy, but such therapy cannot promote the healing of the intestinal mucosa of patients. Therefore, how to achieve long-term remission of IBD is still an urgent challenge. In the process of intestinal mucosal repair, the polarization of macrophages maintains the homeostasis of the intestinal microenvironment, which is a representative process that promotes mucosal inflammatory-repair. It is a key part of initiating tissue regeneration that should not be underestimated. In this paper, we reviewed the literature of the past decade, focusing on the promotion of intestinal mucosal healing in IBD. The discussion will highlight the importance and feasibility of regulating macrophages to promote intestinal mucosal repair. Following this thought, we discuss the shortcomings of current clinical treatments and summarize the relevant drugs which have potential to promote intestinal mucosal repair. The aim is to provide effective potential drugs and therapeutic targets for the treatment of IBD.

OBJECTIVETo establish a reliable model for drug screening and therapy by culturing rat femoral head and inducing cartilage degeneration quickly in vitro.

METHODSThe femoral heads from the same SD rats of two-month old were divided into control group and experimental group respectively. They were cultured with DMEM medium plus 10% fetal bovine serum or DMEM medium plus 10% fetal bovine serum plus 50 ng/ml IL-1β for three days. Femoral heads were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, decalcified, dehydrated, embedded in paraffin and cut into slices. Specimens were stained with Toluidine blue and Safranine O-Fast Green FCF. The protein expression levels of type II collagen, MMP13, Sox9 and ADAMTS5 were analyzed by immunofluorescence.

RESULTSBoth the Toluidine blue and Safranine O staining were pale in the margin of femoral heads which were stimulated with IL-1β for three days compared to that in control group. The Fast Green FCF staining was positive at the edge of the femoral head in experimental group, which indicated that cartilage became degenerated. The expression levels of both type H collagen and Sox9 were decreased significantly while the expression levels of MMP13 and ADAMTS5 were increased in experimental group.

CONCLUSIONThe model of cartilage degeneration is established by culturing and inducing the degeneration of the femoral heads quickly in vitro.

Social communication disorders and language disorders are commonly found in children with autism spectrum disorders,and it is also one of the indicators for assessing the severity of the syndrome. This study analyzed the characteristics of language difficulties and social communication disorders in children with ASD. Then,seven evidence-based treatment methods of language rehabilitation for children with ASD were introduced,including Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment for Young Children,Pivotal Response Treatment,Natural Teaching Strategies,Language Training(Production),Scripting,Story-based Interventions and Social Skills Package. The interventions recommended by American Speech-LanguageHearing Association(ASHA) were also introduced. It is of great significance to provide the early intervention of language disorders for children with ASD. Community-based and family-based intervention models should be promoted,and parent training should be actively carried out,so that children with ASD can obtain language rehabilitation during the critical period of language learning.

Objective: To explore the clinical features and pregnancy outcomes of intrauterine subchorionic hematoma and retroplacental hematoma. Methods: From May 2016 to May 2018, in the Fourth Hospital of Xi′an City, 110 cases of intrauterine hematoma were selected in the middle of pregnancy, including 52 cases of subchorionic hemaloma (group A) and 58 cases of retroplacental hematoma (group B). The clinical features and pregnancy outcomes of the two groups were compared. Results: The volume of hematoma in group B was significantly smaller than that in group A [(8.8 ± 1.7) cm³ vs. (18.3 ± 2.0) cm³], the gestational weeks of group B was also significantly lower than that of group A [(35.2 ± 2.1) weeks vs. (38.4 ± 1.8) weeks], the full-term pregnancy rate in group B was lower than that in group A[56.9%(33/58) vs. 84.6%(44/52)], miscarriage rate and premature birth rate were higher than those in group A [20.7%(12/58) vs. 5.8%(3/52), 22.4%(13/58) vs. 7.7%(4/52)], and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05).The incidence of fetal distress in group B was higher than that in group A [17.4%(8/46) vs. 2.0%(1/49)], the incidence of fetal membrane rupture, placental abnormality, and placental residue was all higher than that in group A[41.3%(19/46) vs.10.2%(5/49), 37.0%(17/46)vs.12.2%(6/49), 28.3%(13/46) vs. 6.1%(3/49)], and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The neonatal body mass in group B was lower than that in group A [(3 091.7 ± 887.6) g vs. (3 457.6 ± 560.2) g], and the incidence of neonatal diseases was higher than that of group A [15.2%(7/46) vs. 2.0%(1/49)], and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Conclusions The volume of hematoma and gestational weeks of intrauterine retroplacental hematoma are lower than those of subchorionic hematoma, and the retroplacental hematoma is more likely to have adverse pregnancy outcomes.
