Object To determine the change of benzoic acid contents in decoctions prepared from various combinations of the recipe named SIWUTANG by RP HPLC to provide a reference for the control of the acid level Methods 8 decoctions of P lactiflora either alone or in combination with one or more of the other 3 components, according to permutation and combination, were prepared and their benzoic acid contents determined by RP HPLC Results The content of benzoic acid in the decoction of Radix Paeonie Alba alone was found to be 2 74 mg/g, while that of the other 7 combinations varied from 0 41～1 11 mg/g Conclusion The content of benzoic acid in SIWUTANG could be lowered significantly by the presence of Radix Angelica Sinensis, Radix Rehmanniae, and Rhizoma Chuanxiong

Abstract: Objective　To analyze the vaccination status of SARS-CoV-2 in children, and explore the relationship between SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and COVID-19 in children. Methods　A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 335 cases of SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant infection from February 15, 2022 to March 18, 2022 in Shenzhen Third People's Hospital. Results　Among 335 children with SARS-CoV-2 infection, 174(51.9%) cases were vaccinated with the SARS-CoV-2 vaccine; 33(31.4%) cases were vaccinated in the 3-<6 years old group; 141(61.3%) cases were vaccinated in the 6-<14 years old group. There was a statistically significant difference in the proportion of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination between the 6-<14 years old group and the 3-<6 years old group (χ2=26.1, P<0.05). In the study cohort, 3-<6 years old group and 6-<14 years old group, there was no significant difference in the incidence of COVID-19 in the vaccinated group compared with the unvaccinated group (P>0.05). In the study cohort, the proportion of confirmed cases of 1 dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and 2 doses or more of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was 89.5% (68 cases) and 77.6% (76 cases), respectively; in the 6~<14 years old group, the proportion of confirmed cases of 1 dose of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine and 2 doses or more of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine was 90.0% (54 cases) and 76.5% (62 cases), respectively; the differences were statistically significant (χ2=4.264, P<0.05; χ2=4.279，P<0.05). The IgG levels of 18.28 (6.61, 55.2) AU/mL and 58.3 (25.85, 131.41) AU/mL in the study cohort who were vaccinated for 1 dose, 2 doses and more, respectively; the IgG levels of 20.13 (8.33, 44.33) AU/mL and 56.57 (25.85, 150.07) AU/mL in the 6~<14 years old group who were vaccinated for 1 dose, 2 doses and more, respectively; and the differences were statistically significant (Z=-4.37, P<0.05; Z=-3.96, P<0.05). Conclusions　Children who received 2 doses of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine have a lower incidence of COVID-19 and higher levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies compared with who received 1 dose . It is recommended that children are advised to be vaccinated against the COVID-19.

An adjustable pillow with inflatable cushion and soft polyurethane sponge is introduced.It is not easily deformed and the height is adjustable.In addition,it is easy to carry and can be cleaned and disinfected thoroughly.Though the design is quite simple,this kind of pillow can improve the patients' sleep quality and prevent pollution of pillow as a result of iatrogenic infection.

Objective To synthesize of water-solubility derivant of 6,7,4′- trihydroxyisoflavone(T2 ),to characterize its structure and to evaluate its anti-tumor activity.Methods The sulfonic group(-SO3 H)was grafted to 3'position in loop B of T2 through sulfonation reaction,then strong aqua was added to above production,and obtained a water-solubility elevated compound named T2-SO3 (NH4 )2 through ammoniation.The construction of T2-SO3 (NH4 )2 was characterized by 1 H-NMR,13 C NMR,MS and element analysis.Its activity for killing human breast cancer cells (Hela)was analyzed by CCK-8 assay and flow cytometry.Re-sults The two kinds of water-solubility derivant of T2-SO3 H·2H2 O and T2-SO3 (NH4 )2 were obtained through above methods, and their yield rates were 96% and 75% respectively.The biological experiments showed that the anti-tumor activity of T2-SO3 (NH4 )2 was significantly enhanced.Conclusion Compared to T2,T2-SO3 (NH4 )2 exhibit higher biocompatibility and anti-tumor activity with vast biological application prospect.

AIM: To assay the level of ferulic acid in rabbit taking Siwu Decoction (Radix angelicae sinensis, Rhlzorna chuanxiong, Radix rehmanniae praeparata) and the influence result of the blood picture. METHODS: The level of ferulic acid in rabbit blood was measured with HPLC after medication and the blood examination was carried out. RESULTS: During the period of medication, the levels of red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, Fe, Zn and Cu increased, packed cell volume and whole blood low-shear viscosity decreased. CONCLUSION: Ferulic acid in Siwu Decoction might be one of effective constituents, promoting blood circulation and replenishing blood.

Objective To investigate the influence of proprioceptive training of hemiplegic stroke patients on their visually compensatory dependence.Methods Twenty stroke patients without vestibular abnormalities were recruited.They were able to walk for 10 meters.All the patients underwent 4 weeks of rehabilitation training including proprioceptive training,treadmill exercises and isometric muscle strengthening.Static standing balance test was performed before and after 4 weeks of treatment.The parameters such as the anteroposterior and mediolateral sway of the center of gravity,center of gravity distribution were analyzed before and after the treatment,taking into consideration of visual feedback (eyes open or closed) by using t-test and multiple linear regression analysis.Results Visual feedback had significant no influence on the anteroposterior sway of center of gravity before and after training (P ＞ 0.05) ; Visual feedback had significant influence on mediolateral sway of center of gravity.Rehabilitation training significantly improved the mediolateral sway in opened-eye standing (P ＜ 0.05) but not closedeye standing (P ＞ 0.05).Visual feedback played significant role in center of gravity distribution after training (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Visual compensation is of significant influence on the mediolateral sway.Proprioceptive training can help decrease the patient's dependence on visual feedback and enhance the patient's balance ability.

AIM: To compare the ligustilide content in Siwu Decoction and its ingredient herb. METHODS: To extract with SFE-CO 2 and to determine ligustilide with HPLC. RESULTS: Of the content of ligustilide, the highest in single herb, next in the mixture of Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Lignstic Rhizoma, the lowest in Siwu Decoction. CONCLUSION: When Angelicane Sinensis Radix and Lignstic Rhizoma were in compound preparation, the content of ligustilide became lower obviously.

Objective To investigate the expression of nerve growth factor(NGF) and slouble Fas(sFas) in children with viral myocarditis(VM),and the relationship with immunity,with the aim to provide evidence and basis for the diagnosis and treatment of VM.Methods The serum levels of NGF and sFas were detected by two-site enzyme-linked immunosorbent assy(ELISA) in 43 children with VM,and 20 normal heathy children as controls.Results The serum levels of both NGF and sFas in children with the acute stage(course in less than month and 1-2 months)and the procrastinate and chronic stages of VM were significantly higher than those of healthy children(P0.05).Conclusion The increased serum expression levels of NGF and sFas are related to the process of viral myocarditis,which confirms the relationship between the onset of VM and immune factors.

Sleep deprivation (SD) has been taken as an independent predictor for cardiovascular risks, which was closely related to the increased morbidity and mortality in coronary heart disease (CHD). In this article, after reviewing the impact of modern medical method sleep deprivation on CHD and studies on principle method recipe medicines for preventing and treating CHD, the authors observed the autonomic nerve dysfunction, hormonal metabolism dysfunction, endothelial dysfunction and inflammatory responses after sleep deprivation, which can cause or aggravate CHD. On the basis of the traditional Chinese medicine theories of "heart dominating the blood and vessels and the mind", the authors considered that traditional Chinese medicines can tonify heart and soothe the nerves, reducing all of the risk factors through multi-target and multi-pathway, and improve sleep and decrease the risk factors caused by sleep deprivation, which provides a new idea for the prevention and treatment of CHD.
