Objective: To compare the HPLC fingerprints of Fraxini Cortex and its eye drop. Methods: Using esculin and esculetin as reference substances, HPLC method was established for fingerprint chromatography of Fraxini Cortex and its eye drop. The similarity was analyzed by similarity evaluation and system cluster analysis. Results: For Fraxini Cortex, eight peaks were separated, among which four common peaks were obtained; for eye drop, eleven peaks were separated including six common peaks. Similarities of both fingerprints were good. Cluster analysis further showed that different sources resulted in the variance of ingredients in crude drug. Both materials and eye drop had some common peaks such as esculin and esculetin, on the other hand, they had some different peaks which might be caused by extracting process. Conclusion: HPLC fingerprint chromatogram could be applied for the quality control of Fraxini Cortex and its preparations; the pharmaceutical process may be responsible for the variance of ingredients. © 2013 Tianjin Press of Chinese Herbal Medicines.

Objective To determine the prevalence of latex glove(LG)-induced type Ⅳ hypersensitivity in clinical nurses. Methods 100 clinical nurses were selected,among whom 69 nurses were set as the latex glove hypersensitivity group,and the other 31 nurses did not show hypersensitivity to latex glove (the control group).The two groupe underwent a patch testing with a modified European standard series of allergens supplied by Chemotechnique Diagnostics.The positive allergens were compared between the two groups. Results The positive rate of patch testing in patients of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was superior to that in the control group (73.9％ vs 25.8％).Cobalt chloride and potassium dichromate were the most common allergens in both groups,while only formaldehyde and para-phenylenediamine were more susceptible in the latex glove hypersensitivity group compared with that in the control group.26.1％ of the latex glove hypersensitivity group was responsive to rubber additives,but in the control group the results were negative.Conclusions The hand dermatitis of female nurses with LG allergy is mainly caused by exposure to daily necessities.The prevalence of LG-induced type Ⅳ hypenensitivity is relatively high in clinical murses.

Abstract The health literacy level among the elderly in China remains at a low level. The 14th Five-Year Plan for Healthy Aging clearly points out that health literacy promotion projects should be implemented to improve the health literacy level among the elderly. The health literacy promotion strategies for the elderly require individual, social, policy and environmental supports. This article reviewed four types of health literacy promotion strategies for the elderly, including social strategies, lecture-based health education strategies, new media-based health communication strategies and environmental strategies. It also proposed that health education institutions, communities and other parties should work together, take advantage of digital technology and internet, and take various measures simultaneously to improve the health literacy of the elderly.

Objective: Patients and doctors often have questions about the equivalence of traditional and machinery decoctions. In this article, using Da-cheng-qi Decoction (DCQD) as a model of formula, traditional decoction (TD), machinery decoction under high pressure (MDHP), and machinery decoction under normal pressure (MDNP) were compared. Methods: For chemical components, HPLC fingerprints were established and evaluated using AHP combined with CRITIC weighing method; For animals' effects, the experiments of small intestinal propulsion were conducted; For clinical effects, a randomized clinical trial (RCT) was designed and performed. Results: Although there were some differences between TD and MDNP in chemical ingredients, there was no significant difference in animal experiments and clinical trials (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The traditional and machinery decoctions of DCQD could be used bioequivalently.

To explore the possible linkage between telomerase and acute leukemia, we detected telomerase activity expressed in 3 leukemia cell lines, 22 acute leukemia bone marrow and 6 normal bone marrow with PCR ELISA assay. Results showed that telomerase activities of three leukemia cell lines were positive with the average (1.57 +/- 0.056) U, normal bone marrow samples average was (0.085 +/- 0.081) U, telomerase value from 22 acute leukemia patients was (0.512 +/- 0.294) U. Telomerase activity is higher expressed in acute leukemia than normal samples and decreased significantly after chemotherapy (P < 0.01). The results suggested that telomerase activity was related to some malignant diseases and might be used as a marker for tumor diagnosis and therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To establish 2-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) graph of A549 and A549/DDP cell lines, to identify the differentially expressed proteins, and to screen multidrug resistance (MDR) related proteins in human lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS: The total proteins of A549 and A549/DDP cells were obtained, and were extracted and separated by 2-DE. PDQuest software was applied to analyze the 2-DE images, and the differential proteins of the 2 types of cells were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS). Western blot was used to determine the expression levels of the 4 proteins. RESULTS: We established 2-DE maps of total proteins from A549 and A549/DDP. A total of 40 differential protein spots in the 2 cell lines were found, and 23 differential expression proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. Western blot showed that heat shock protein beta-1, annexin A4, cofilin l, vimentin were differential expression proteins in A549 and A549/DDP, which was consistent with the results of the comparative proteomic analysis. CONCLUSION The 23 differential expression proteins in human lung adenocarcinoma are useful for studying the MDR mechanism of lung adenocarcinoma.

Objective To analyze alterations in electrocardiogram (ECG) of adenosine test in 99Tcm-MIBI myocardial perfusion imaging(MPI)SPECT study. Methods A total of 641 patients were in cluded in the study. The patients each underwent 99Tcm-MIBI MPI with adenosine test. The ECGs were taken before, during, and after adenosine infusion. Results In all, abnormal ECGs were found in 205(32.0%) patients. During adenosine infusion, 20.6%(132/641) of patients suffered from arrhythmia,29.5%(39/132) had atrial premature beats, 34. 1% (45/132) had premature ventricular beats, and 6. 1% (8/132) had sinoatrial block. In addition, 5.3% (7/132) had first-, 24.2% (32/132) had second-, and 0.8%(1/132) had third-degree atrioventricular block (AVB). After adenosine infusion, 4.4%( 28/641) of patients suffered from arrhythmia, 57.1% (16/28) had atrial premature beats, 39.3%(11/28) had premature ventricular beats, and 3.6% (1/28) had sinoatrial block. The perfusion images showed ischemia in 36 patients and infarction in 8 patients. Adenosine infusion was terminated in 39 patients (6. 1%) because of poorly tolerated side effects. However, no death or acute myocardial infarction occurred in the study. Conclusions Adenosine pharmacologic test for 99TcmMIBI MPI may result in relatively high incidence of arrhythmia in ECG monitoring.
