Objective To study the optimum ethanol extraction process of total flavonoids in Lophatherun gracile Brongn. Methods The extraction of total flavonoids was choosen as the assessment index. Ethanol volumn extracting time and times were the studing factors. The optimum ethanol extraction process was selected with the orthogonal design. Results The optimum ethanol extracting process conditions were as follows:adding 18 fold of 75% ethanol,extracting for 1.0 h and one in all. Ethanol dosage was the predominant influencing factor. Conclusion This optimum extradion process of total flavonoids in Lophatherum gracle Brongn is reliable.

Objective:To explore the TCM syndromes and risk factors of patients with anxiety and/or depression after coronary revascularization through real-world data mining based on the national pilot project of Chinese and Western medicine clinical collaboration for major difficult diseases; To provide clinical evidence and guide practice for the diagnosis and treatment of bicardiac diseases after coronary revascularization.Methods:A retrospective multi-center clinical study was conducted. From September 2018 to December 2019, 577 patients who underwent successful percutaneous coronary intervention in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Department of Cardiovascular Medicine of the People's Hospital of Liaoning Province were enrolled using the collaborative platform system of TCM and Western Medicine Diagnosis and follow-up for coronary disease. Clinical data database was established. Baseline data, TCM syndrome types and elements, coronary angiography and stent implantation status, relevant disease history, Hamilton Anxiety and Depression Scale, etc. were collected. A combination of postoperative phone calls and outpatient visits was performed, with follow-up every 3 months for a total of 1 year. The TCM treatment patterns and risk factors of patients with anxiety and depression after coronary artery revascularization surgery were analyzed and explored.Results:A total of 577 patients were enrolled and 561 patients were followed up. Age distribution: The age of males and females undergoing coronary revascularization due to ACS was (61.80±11.00) years and (68.37±10.13) years, with no statistical significance between groups ( P>0.05), but the age of onset in males tended to be earlier than in females. The distribution pattern of TCM syndrome elements showed that the most deficiency syndrome elements were qi deficiency (61.75%, 176/285), followed by yin deficiency (28.77%, 82/285). The most common excessive symptom was blood stasis (39.13%, 108/276), and the other syndromes were phlegm turbidity (36.23%, 100/276) and qi depression (20.29%, 56/276), etc. The distribution of TCM syndrome types was as follows: in the population with anxiety and depression state of coronary revascularization, the TCM syndrome types with frequency higher than 10% were successively phlegm and blood stasis with depression syndrome, qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, heart, gallbladder and qi deficiency and qi-yin deficiency with blood stasis syndrome. Among the people without anxiety and depression, the TCM syndromes with a frequency higher than 10% were heart blood stasis syndrome and qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome, with statistical significance ( χ2=12.07, P<0.01). Correlation analysis showed that the number of stents, and LDL-C were positive correlated with anxiety and depression( r values were 0.107, 0.118,respectively, P<0.05), and the uric acid was negative correlation ( r=-0.127, P=0.011). Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression showed the age [ RR (95% CI)=1.052 (1.012-1.094), P=0.010] and diabetes mellitus [ RR (95% CI)=4.561 (1.028-20.238), P=0.046] at the sixth month of treatment. Conclusions:The age of acute coronary syndrome and coronary revascularization is mainly concentrated in patients aged 60-70 years, and male patients tend to have earlier onset than female patients, and the risk of coronary heart disease is relatively high. Qi-deficiency syndrome accounts for the highest proportion, and the most excessive syndrome is blood stasis syndrome. The TCM syndromes with high frequency of anxiety and depression are phlegm and blood stasis with depression syndrome and qi-yin deficiency with blood stasis syndrome. The number of stents implanted and low density lipoprotein cholesterol are positively correlated with postoperative anxiety and depression. Age and diabetes history are independent risk factors for end-point events at about 6 months after treatment.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of mucosal vascular pattern (MVP) under narrow-band imaging (NBI) enteroscopy in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) in clinical remission for histological healing and clinical recurrence.Methods:A total of 142 patients with UC in clinical remission who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Weifang Medical University from January 2018 to January 2021 were included in the study and underwent colonoscopy. The white light and NBI endoscopic images were collected and biopsies were obtained. The Mayo endoscopic score (MES) was calculated based on white light images, and MVP staging was evaluated based on mucosal vascular patterns under NBI. Nancy index (NI) was used to evaluate histological healing and patients were followed up for 1 year. The Spearman correlation coefficients of MES and MVP with histological healing and recurrence were calculated. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted and the area under curve (AUC) was applied to evaluate the accuracy of white light and NBI endoscopy for predicting histological healing of UC in clinical remission.Results:According to the MVP criteria, 47 were defined as clear, 63 blurred, and 32 invisible. Spearman correlation analysis showed a significant correlation between MVP under NBI and histological healing ( r=0.549, P<0.001) and a moderate correlation between MES under white light and histological healing ( r=0.462, P<0.001). Spearman correlation analysis showed a moderate correlation between MVP under NBI and clinical recurrence ( r=0.451, P<0.001) and a moderate correlation between MES under white light and clinical recurrence ( r=0.352, P<0.001). AUC of NBI for diagnosing histological healing of UC in clinical remission was 0.809 (95% CI: 0.738-0.879), with a sensitivity of 84.6% (77/91) and specificity of 64.7% (33/51), superior to the white light endoscopy, of which AUC, sensitivity and specificity were 0.763 (95% CI: 0.678-0.848), 81.3% (74/91) and 66.7% (34/51). Conclusion:MVP staging under NBI could predict histological healing of UC patients in clinical remission and is superior to white light endoscopy.
