The fruit of Pandanus tectorius (PTF) has a long history of use as a folk medicine to treat hyperlipidemia in Hainan province, South China. Our previous studies have shown that the n-butanol extract of PTF is rich in caffeoylquinic acids and has an adequate therapeutic effect on dyslipidemic animals induced by high-fat diet. In this work, seven caffeoylquinic acids isolated from PTF were screened for the lipid-lowering activity in HepG2 hepatoma cells. Oil-Red O staining, microscopy and intracellular triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) quantification showed that 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3-CQA), 3, 5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,5-CQA), and 3,4,5-tri-O-caffeoylquinic acid (3,4,5-CQA) significantly inhibited lipid accumulation induced by oleic acid and decreased intracellular levels of TC and TG in a dose-dependent manner. These three caffeoylquinic acids showed no significant cytotoxicity at concentrations of 1 -50 μmol x L(-1) as determined by MTT assay. Realtime quantitative PCR revealed that 3-CQA and 3, 5-CQA significantly increased the expression of lipid oxidation-related genes PPARα, CPT-1 and ACOX1 while 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3,4,5-CQA decreased the expression of lipogenic genes SREBP-1c, SREBP-2, HMGR, ACC, FAS. Overall, 3-CQA, 3, 5-CQA and 3, 4, 5-CQA may be the principal hypolipidemic components in PTF which can decrease intracellular lipid accumulation through up-regulating the expression of lipid oxidative genes and down-regulating the expression of lipogenic genes.

Schisandra Chinensis Fructus (SCF) is the fruit of Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baill., a perennial vine. It was first recorded in Shen Nong's herbal classic and has a long application history. Studies have shown that SCF has anti-inflammatory, protective liver, antioxidant, antibacterial and other pharmacological effects. Ancient prescriptions are commonly used in the treatment of chronic diarrhea and other intestinal diseases and diabetes. Modern clinical phar?macology features of SCF polysaccharide (SCFP) in diabetes, liver diseases, enteritis and other aspects have achieved excellent results. Gut is an important digestive organ of human body, but intestinal diseases are varied, including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, intestinal flora imbalance, etc.. It is a chronic and non-specific inflammatory disease. The disease is persisted for a long time and the incidence rate is expected to rise. Most of the symptoms are recurrent diarrhea, bloody stool and abdominal pain. It is considered by the World Health Organization as a refractory disease. At present, there is little possibility of complete cure, which is closely related to complex environmental factors, eating hab?its and heredity. In recent years, clinical studies have found that SCFP has a variety of pharmacological effects on intes?tinal protection.①Reduce inflammatory factors:intestinal mucositis is a common adverse reaction in patients with chemo?therapy. The development of mucositis is related to pro-inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β, Interferon-γ(IFN-γ). SCFP can significantly reduce IL-6 TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-8, as well as the accumulation of T cells in the process of resisting apoptosis, reduce the inflammatory reaction and protect the dam?age to villi and crypts, improve the symptoms of small intestinal mucositis caused by weight loss and diarrhea. ② Pro?mote immunoglobulin A secretion: intestinal mucosal immunity is the first line of defense of the body's immune system. Its main antibody is secretory immunoglobulin A, which can destroy and phagocytize microorganisms, bacteria and viruses. SCFP can improve intestinal immunity by increasing the number and activity of T lymphocytes, promoting the secre?tion of secretory immunoglobulin A, and affecting the activity of a variety of cytokines. ③ Regulation of intestinal flora:the flora in the intestine has the functions of auxiliary nutrient absorption, biological antagonism and immune regulation, and can form a natural barrier for the host's intestine. When the human intestinal flora is disordered, probiotics will be greatly reduced, harmful bacteria will proliferate and destroy the intestinal environment. Under these conditions, the intake of SCFP significantly increased the number of beneficial bacteria such as bifidobacteria and lactobacillus, and sig?nificantly decreased the number of conditional pathogens such as enterococcus and escherichia coli, indicating that SCFP can indeed regulate the intestinal disorder caused by lincomycin hydrochloride to a certain extent. This may be because beneficial bacteria in the intestine metabolize polysaccharides produce short chain fatty acids such as lactic acid and acetic acid, which reduces the pH value in the intestine and inhibits the growth of enterococcus and Escherichia coli. In conclusion, SCFP can treat and protect intestinal diseases to a certain extent, which provides a favorable basis for the treatment of intestinal diseases.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the blood lead level in children aged 0-6 years in urban areas of China.

METHODSFourteen cities were selected as sites under surveillance. A total of 44 045 peripheral blood specimens were collected from 2004 to 2006, during which 15 727, 14 737, and 13 584 specimens were tested in 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively. Tungsten atomizer absorption spectrophotometer was employed to determine blood lead level.

RESULTSThe geometric mean blood lead level in the tested children was 47.10 microg/L with 10.10% > or = 100 microg/L, 46.17 microg/L with 7.78% > or = 100 microg/L, and 47.03 microg/L with 7.30% > or = 100 microg/L in 2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively. The blood lead levels seemed to tend to rise in parallel with the increase of age of the children and were higher in boys (48.84 microg/L, 47.56 microg/L, and 47.78 microg/L in the 3 respective years) than in girls (45.00 microg/L, 44.53 microg/L, and 46.13 microg/L).

CONCLUSIONThe blood lead levels in children in cities of China are lower than those in previous national studies, but higher than those in developed countries. Childhood lead poisoning remains a public health problem in China.

Conclusion The proposed algorithm had its feasibility and effectiveness verified,and gains advantages in MAT-MI reconstruction of acoustic inhomogeneous media.

Objective:To investigate the application value of three-dimensional (3D) recons-truction combined with endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in preoperative accurate evaluation of biliary tract neoplasms.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinico-pathological data of 19 patients with biliary tract neoplasms who underwent 3D reconstruction combined with EUS in the Shangdong Provincial Third Hospital from January 2019 to October 2022 were collected. There were 13 males and 6 females, aged 64(range, 35-75)years. All patients underwent preoperative abdominal enhanced computer tomography (CT) thin-slice scan with 3D reconstruction combined with EUS. Some patients further received other endoscopic techniques such as intraductal ultrasonography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography or SpyGlass cholangioscopy to obtain tumor tissues for histopathology evaluation. The surgical implementation protocol was developed based on the results of 3D reconstruction and EUS. Observation indicators: (1) results of 3D reconstruction; (2) results of EUS; (3) comparison between preoperative surgical protocol and actual intraoperative conditions. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range), and count data were described as absolute numbers and/or percentages. Results:(1) Results of 3D reconstruction. Results of 3D reconstruction in 19 patients with biliary tract neoplasms showed morphology of the liver, bile ducts, pancreas, blood vessels, and duodenum, including 4 cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma, 14 cases of middle and lower cholangiocarcinoma, and 1 case of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The accuracy of 3D reconstruction in 19 patients was 18/19. (2) Results of EUS. All 19 patients underwent preoperative EUS, including 7 cases obtained tumor tissue for histopathology evaluation, with the results indicating abnormal hyperplasia or malignant tumor. The rate of histopathology evaluation was 7/19, with the sensitivity as 7/7. Of 19 patients, results of EUS in 2 cases indicated positive of lymph node metastasis, but results of postoperative histopathology evaluation indicated negative of lymph node metastasis in lymph node specimens. Results of EUS in the rest of 17 cases indicated negative of lymph node metastasis, but results of intraoperative laparoscopic exploration on 1 case indicated extensive intra-abdominal metastasis. (3) Comparison between preoperative surgical protocol and actual intraoperative conditions. Of 19 patients, 18 cases underwent radical resection and 1 case underwent bile duct drainage, with the compliance rate between preoperative surgical protocol and actual intraoperative conditions as 18/19. The volume of intraoperative blood loss in the 18 cases receiving radical resection was 336(range, 50-1500)mL. Two cases had postoperative complications.Conclusion:Results of 3D reconstruction combined with EUS can accurately map the the size, location, extent of bile duct invasion, and adjacent relationships of surrounding tissues of malignant biliary tract neoplasms, for preoperative accurate evaluation and surgical planning.
