The antifungal antibiotic produced by Streptomyces luteogriseus H-103 was purified by means of macroporous adsorbent resin, and the crystal of the antibiotic with high purity was got. In this paper, the methods of purification by adsorbing of microporous adsorbent resin and detection by reversed high performance liquid chromatography with evaporative light scattering detection (HPLC-ELSD) were established. The result appeared that resin X-5 is the best adsorbent, the eluant is 50% ethanol. The antibiotic was successfully separated on Agilent~(TM)20RBA?310SB C_(18 )column (150mm?4.6mm i.d,5?m) , using a mixture of acetonitrile (A)-H_(2)O (B) as a mobile phase under gradient elution at a flow of 0.8mL/min at 30℃.0~4.0 min, V(A)∶V(B)=20∶80, 4.0~9.5min, V(A)∶V(B)=45∶55, then V(A)∶V(B)=80∶20. The drift tube temperature and the air carrier gas flow rate of the ELSD were set at 115℃ and 2.3L/min.

Objective To depermine if a double mainpenance dose of clopidogrel can improve phe clinical oupcome in papienps who have clopidogrel htpo-responsiveness ( CH) afper percupaneous coronart inpervenpion (PCI) and analtze correlapive risk facpors of CH. Methods We had enrolled 134 consecupive papienps undergoing PCI for spable coronart arpert disease in our cenper bepween Januart 2014 po June 2015. CH was depermined bt plapelep aggregapion measured bt phrombelaspographt ( TEG). Blood samples were paken 24 h and 3 monphs afper PCI procedure. All subjecps were divided inpo 2 groups (i. e phe CH group and phe clopidogral sensipive group) according po pheir responsiveness bt TEG. The CH group (n = 45) received a double mainpenance dose of clopidogrel as 150 mg/ d and phe clopidogrel sensipive group (n = 89) received a spandard mainpenance dose as 75 mg/ d. Changes in clopidogrel responsiveness and correlapive risk facpors were observed afper 3 monphs of clopidogrel preapmenp. Major adverse cardiac evenps (MACEs) and bleeding incidenps were recorded during follow-up lease 6 monphs. Results The clopidoprel htpo-responsive rape decreased from 33. 6% (45 / 134 papienps) po 11. 9% (16 / 134 papienps) afper 3 monphs of preapmenp. No spapispical difference found bepween phe 2 groups in morpalipt rape and non-fapal mtocardial infarcpion ( P >0. 05). Rapes of overall MACE (33. 3% vs. 22. 5% ), rehospipalizapion (26. 7% vs. 16. 9% ) and pargep vessel revascularizapion (11. 1% vs. 6. 7% ) were significanp higher in phe CH group ( all P < 0. 05) . Mulpivariape regression analtsis showed: smoking ( OR 4. 498, 95% CI 1. 378 - 4. 018, P = 0. 036), diabepes (OR 4. 385, 95% CI 1. 370 - 7. 552,P = 0. 026) and clopidogrel dosage ( OR 0. 597, 95% CI 1. 005 - 2. 676, P = 0. 019 ) were phe risk facpors for CH. Conclusions For papienp wiph htpo-responsiveness po clopidogrel afper PCI, a higher mainpenance dose of clopidogrel as 150 mg/ d for 3 monphs can provide equivalenp clinical benefip in serious adverse evenp (including morpalipt and non-fapal mtocardial infarcpion) compared po spandard mainpenance dose for clopidogrel responsive papienps.

Objective To evaluate the effects of mechanical ventilation on radiation induced lung injuries of apoptosis,acute inflammation,and oxidative stress by establishing a rat mechanical ventilation model and animal model.Methods Totally 40 male Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into 4 groups with 10 rats in each group:control,radiation alone,high tidal volume ventilation,and high tidal volume ventilation following by radiation.After treatment,the pathological changes in lung tissue were observed,NF-κB activity was detected by electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA),the expression of NF-κB subunit P65 protein level in lung cell nucleus was detected by Western blot,and the apoptosis of lung cells was detected by terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method.The wet to dry weight ratio (W/D) of lung,myeloperoxidase (MPO),malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected.In addition,the total protein and white blood cell number in lung lavage fluid were also measured.Results Compared to the control,the acute lung injury (ALI) score,W/D ratio,MPO activity,total protein level,white blood cell number,apoptosis index (AI),lung tissue MDA,NF-κB activity and P65 protein expression were increased significantly (q =0.000 32-0.004 81,P ＜0.05),while SOD values was decreased significantly (q =0.000 18-0.002 53,P ＜0.01),in other three groups.Compared with radiation and high tidal volume ventilation group,the above indexes were significantly higher (q =0.004 3-0.022 6,P ＜ 0.05) but the SOD value was significantly lower (q =0.002 9-0.008 3,P ＜ 0.05) than those in the high tidal volume ventilation plus radiation group.Conclusions High tidal volume ventilation delivered to the radiation group produced more transparent ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) than the high tidal volume ventilation alone induced VILI including permeable pulmonary edema,acute inflammation,oxidative stress and apoptosis in lung.

Objective To investigate the effects of television-watching and computer-using on sleep/wake patterns, sleep duration and sleep problems of school-aged children in Shanghai. Methods A total of 4 108 school-aged children from 10 primary schools of Shanghai were enrolled by multi-stage cluster sampling and surveyed by questionnaires. The information of television-watching and computer-using, family and personal condition was investigated by self-prepared questionnaire, and the Chinese version of Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire was employed to survey the sleep behaviors of children. The effects of television-watching and computer-using on sleep/wake patterns, sleep duration and sleep problems were analyzed by multiple linear regression analysis and Logistic regression analysis. Results The percentage of children who watched television≥2 h per day was 4.1% during weekdays, and that came to 49.2% during weekends. In terms of frequency of computer-using, most children reported "rarely" (88.2%, 0-1 time/week), followed by "often" (11.0%, 2-4 times/ week) and "usually" (0.8%, 5-7 times/week). With the age increase, the percentages of children who watched television≥2 h per day and those who "often" used computer gradually increased. It was revealed by multiple linear regression analysis and Logistic regression analysis that television-watching and computer-using were not only positively correlated with later bedtime, later wake time and shorter sleep duration but also significantly associated with sleep problems such as bedtime resistance, sleep onset delay, sleep duration disorder, sleep anxiety and parasomnia. Conclusion Television-watching and computer-using exert influences on sleep behaviors of sleep/wake patterns, sleep duration and sleep problems. Concerns about the potential negative effects of television-watching and computer-using on sleep behaviors may help to promote healthy sleep patterns and improve sleep quality.

Water soluble extract (WSE) is an important index for the quality evaluation of Astragali Radix (AR). In this study, the WSE of the wild AR from Shanxi province (SX) and the cultivated AR from Gansu Province (GS) were compared. The WSEs of two types of AR were determined according to the appendix of Chinese pharmacopoeia. Then the WSEs were subjected to NMR analysis, and the obtained data were analyzed using HCA, PCA, OPLS-DA, microarray analysis, and Spearman rank analysis. In addition, the Pearson correlation of differential metabolites were also calculated. The results showed that the WSE content of GS-AR (37.80%) was higher than that of SX-AR (32.13%). The main constituent of WSE was sucrose, and other 18 compounds, including amino acids, organic acids, were also detected. Multivariate analysis revealed that SX-AR contained more choline, succinic acid, citric acid, glutamate, taurine and aspartate, while GS samples contained more sucrose, arginine and fumaric acid. In addition, the Pearson correlations between different metabolites of the two types of AR also showed apparent differences. The results suggested that the WSE of two types of AR differs not only in the content, but also in the chemical compositions. Thus, the cultivation way is important to the quality of AR. This study supplied a new method for the comparison of extract of herbal drugs.

OBJECTIVETo explore efficacy enhancing and detoxification roles of Jiedu Quyu Zishen Recipe (JQZR) in treating systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) by studying its effect on Toll like receptor 9 (TLR9) signal pathway of murine macrophage cells after JQZR stimulated CpG oligodeoxynucletide (CpG ODN).

METHODSMurine macrophage cells in vitro cultured were randomly divided into 4 groups, i.e., the blank serum group, the CpG ODN stimulus group, the CpG ODN + dexamethasone group, the CpG ODN + medicated serum group. Murine macrophage cells were collected after 24-h intervention. The expression of TLR9, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), NF-KB, IFN-α mRNA were analyzed by RT-PCR. The expression of TLR9 and NF-κB protein were analyzed by Western blot. Changes of the NF-KB transcriptional activity were assayed by Dual-Luciferase reporter assay system.

RESULTSmRNA expressions of TLR9, MyD88, NF-κB, and IFN-α, protein expressions of TLR9 and NF-κB, and NF-κB transcriptional activities were enhanced, showing statistical difference when compared with those of the blank serum group (P <0. 05, P <0. 01). Compared with the CpG ODN stimulus group, mRNA expressions of MyD88, NF-κB, and IFN-α, the protein expression of NF-κB and the NF-κB transcriptional activities decreased in the CpG ODN + dexamethasone group with statistical difference (P <0. 01). Compared with the CpG ODN stimulus group, mRNA expressions of TLR9, MyD88, NF-κB, and IFN-α, protein expressions of TLR9 and NF-κB, and NF-κB transcriptional activities were decreased in CpG ODN+ medicated serum group with statistical difference (P <0. 01).

CONCLUSIONEfficacy enhancing and detoxification roles of JQZR in treatment of SLE might be realized through regulating TLR9 signal pathways.

Objective To analyze the miss rates of colorectal adenomas during colonoscopy as well as risk factors influencing the adenoma miss rates and to take corresponding measures. Methods A total of 432 patients who underwent index and follow-up colonoscopy in 18 months were randomized and investigated. The results of two colonoscopies were compared and the missed adenomas were defined as the adenomas de-tected only during the second colonoscopy. Miss rates were calculated according to patient-based methods. Chi-square test was used to analyze the relative factors influencing the adenoma miss rate of per-patient. Then the meaningful factors were chosen into the logistic regression model for multiple factors analysis. Results Of 432 patients,116(26. 9%)had missed adenomas on first colonoscopy. Single factor analysis found that the size of adenoma( χ2 = 89. 686,P = 0. 000),the shape of adenoma( χ2 = 68. 488,P = 0. 000),the location of adenoma(χ2 = 77. 055,P = 0. 000)and adenoma tissue types(χ2 = 417. 000,P = 0. 000)were the risk factors for miss rates of colorectal adenomas. Number of polyps(χ2 = 8. 450,P= 0. 038),the organi-zation type of polyp(χ2 = 10. 718,P= 0. 013)and proficiency of colonoscopists(χ2 = 56. 069,P= 0. 000), the quality of bowel preparation(χ2 = 39. 195,P = 0. 000),insertion time(χ2 = 13. 133,P = 0. 001)were also the risk factors for miss rates of colorectal adenomas. Logistic regression analysis showed that the bigger the adenoma size,the less missed adenomas(OR= 0. 341,95%CI:0. 173-0. 671). Also,the longer insertion time took,the lower the adenoma miss rate(OR = 0. 987,95% CI:0. 981-0. 994). Per-patient miss rates were lower for high-risk adenomas compared with low-risk adenomas(OR = 0. 324,95%CI:0. 154-0. 680). Adenomas happening in multiple parts of bowel easily leads to missing(OR= 3. 791,95%CI:1. 505-9. 546). Conclusion The missed diagnosis of adenomas is not only significantly associated with features of missed adenomas,but also with skills of colonoscopists,insertion time,and bowel preparation. The key is high-quality index colonoscopy to avoid adenomas missing.

BACKGROUNDMitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We aimed to demonstrate mitochondrial dysfunction in ALS using a lactate stress test and to examine the relationship between mitochondrial dysfunction with motor deterioration.

METHODSWe enrolled 116 patients and observed clinical variables, including the survival state.

RESULTSPatients with a rapid slope of revised ALS functional rating scales (ALSFRS-r) (>20 U/year) exhibited the slowest elimination rate (median -4.67 × 10-3 mmol·L-1·min-1 , coefficient of variation, 590.15%), the shortest duration (0.63 ± 0.28 years) and the worst ALSFRS-r (32.59 ± 4.93). Patients with a moderate slope of ALSFRS-r (10-20 U/year) showed a moderate elimination rate (median -11.33 × 10-3 mmol·L-1·min-1 , coefficient of variation, 309.89%), duration (1.16 ± 0.45 years), and ALSFRS-r (34.83 ± 6.11). The slower progressing (<10 U/year group) patients exhibited a rapid elimination rate (median: -12.00 × 10-3 mmol·L-1·min-1 , coefficient of variation: 143.08%), longer duration (median: 3 years, coefficient of variation: 193.33%), and adequate ALSFRS-r values (39.58 ± 9.44). Advanced-phase ALS patients also showed slower elimination rate (ER, quartiles -17.33, -5.67, 4.00) and worse ALSFRS-r (34.88 ± 9.27), while early-phase patients showed a more rapid ER (quartiles -25.17, -11.33, -3.50) and better ALSFRS-r (39.28 ± 7.59). These differences were statistically significant. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed strong direct associations among ER, ALSFRS-r slope (standard beta = 0.33, P = 0.007), and forced vital capacity (predict %) (standard beta = -0.458, P = 0.006, adjusted for ALSFRS-r, course and onset region). However, the data obtained from 3 years of follow-up showed no statistically significant difference in the survival rates between the most rapid and slowest ER groups.

CONCLUSIONThere is a potential linear relationship between ER and motor deterioration in ALS. Slower ER might be associated with faster disease progression.
