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.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the establishment and implementation effect of ECPR rapid response medical team in emergency department, and to explore a more efficient rescue mode.Methods:A total of 41 patients who started ECPR in the emergency room of a tertiary hospital in Beijing from November 2017 to September 2022 were selected as subjects. The 14 patients treated by the ECPR rapid response medical team in the emergency department were set as the experimental group, and the 27 patients treated by the ECPR team of the MDT mode led by the cardiac surgeon were set as the control group. The ECPR start-up time, pipeline pre-filling time, ECPR start-up to ECMO successful operation time, complication rate and treatment success rate were compared between the two groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the outcome between the two groups (all P>0.05), but the total time (min) of ECPR implementation by the rapid response medical team in the emergency department was shorter (20.86 ± 10.86 vs. 23.04 ± 11.40), the incidence of complications was lower, and the success rate of treatment was higher (28.57 % vs. 25.93 %). Conclusion:Establishing a mature ECPR rapid response team dominated by emergency medical care helps improve the rescue coordination and work efficiency, thereby providing the emergency protection and management of full -chain for the treatment of critical condition.

OBJECTIVETo understand the current status and relative factors of reproductive health (RH) on unmarried floating population.

METHODSBoth quantitative and qualitative surveys were employed. Quantitative survey would include questionnaire admimistration, physic examination and laboratory test while qualitative study including focus/nominal group discussion, individual and resource persons interview. All of the investigative targets were selected under informed consent.

RESULTSAmong 1333 investigated unmarried floating population, the mean score on knowledge of RH was 12.97 +/- 12.20 (the full score was 100). Among studied persons, 10.20% of them were in favor of unmarried sexual activity while 50.64% of them did not care about it and 26.90% of them had ever experienced sexual activity. Among females who experienced sexual activity, 25.45% of them had induced abortion. It was found, through multivariate logistic analysis, that sexual activity at younger age, less education, agreed on having sexual activity under partner's request, sexual activity in half of a year, and pregnancy were the major risk factors on RH of unmarried floating population.

CONCLUSIONThe problem on the current status of RH among unmarried floating population needs to be addressed as they were lack of knowledge on RH and having more risk factors on RH.

This paper systematically summarized the core problems in the field of medical and health services and did the root analysis.It is concluded that the current domestic and international related medical service modes deviated from the essence of health services and led to difficulties in the idea and method,bringing people to new problems and new crises.KY3H health care service model,set innovative ideas,innovative technical methods,innovative products,innovative processes,standards and standards into one,by providing a full range and the whole cycle of people-oriented,self-help,"diagnosis and treatment of security" integration of health careservice,improve people's health status,fundamentally change the traditional passive "seeking medical treatment" service mode,to active "seeking one's own" health service mode,so as to achieve "health status continues to rise,the medical costs continue to decline,"which is the social development aims.The paper systematically analyzes the idea,operational logic,goal,mode structure,characteristics of the model,and its significance to individuals,industries,society,countries and even the international community in order to make a positive contribution to the healthy development strategy in China and provide a Chinese case for global Health.

Vigorously development of the health service industry has received great attention,but the health service industry faces many difficulties.By analyzing the current predicament,this paper put forward the KY3H health care service model and systematically analyzed its six innovations:from "disease as the center" to "health as the center",from "homogenized group health service" to "Personalized and Humanized Health Service",from "Extensive Health Service"to "Precise Intervention of Individual Health Status",from "Single Health Service" to "Trinity Service of Health,Culture,Health Management and Health Insurance",from the "seeking medical" service model to "seeking one's own"service model,as well as from the "fixed (fixed-time,fixed-point,fixed-mode) service" to "anytime,anywhere full-time service".This model has achieved initial success in practice.It is an important way to solve the dilemma.

Objective To analyze the changes of varicella outbreak in Minhang District before and after practicing "the varicella emergency vaccination implementation program (2013-2014 trial version),Shanghai",and to evaluate the effects of live attenuated vaccine against varicella.Methods We used cross-sectional investigation to collect monitoring data of vaticella outbreak recorded in "China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention".The observation periods before and after the implementation of the program were during 2012-01-01 to 2013-06-30 and during 2013-07-01 to 2014-12-31.Results Before the implementation of the program,14 cases of varicella epidemic were reported in Minhang District.All cases were up to the outbreaks in the epidemic,the longest duration was 82 days,the average duration continued was 50.86 days (912/14),the average cumulative generation was 2.42 generations (50.86/21),the total number of people was 159,the total incidence rate was 1.26％ (159/12 625),the class incidence rate was 9.09％ (159/1 750),the average number of people was 11.36 (159/14),the average number of class was 3.21 (45/14).After the implementation of the program,169 cases of the varicella epidemic were reported in Minhang District,only 22 cases rose to the outbreaks in the epidemic,the longest duration was 66 days,the average duration continued was 41.32 days (909/22),the average cumulative generation was 1.97 generations (41.32/21),the total number of people was 200,the total incidence rate was 1.10％ (200/18 200),the class incidence rate was 8.38％ (200/2 387),the average number of people was 9.09 (200/22),the average number of class was 2.50 (55/22);Although the varicella epidemic in the total outbreaks had significantly increased in Minhang District before and after emergency implementation,but the varicella outbreak in the varicella epidemic significantly decreased,the total incidence rate,the class incidence rate,the longest duration,the average duration,the average cumulative generation,the average number of people and the average number of class had decreased in varying degrees.There is statistical difference between the average duration before and after the implementation (x2 =4.06,P＜0.05).Conclusions Emergency vaccination of varicella vaccine in high risk population can effectively control the spread of epidemic situation and reduce the possibility of secondary transmission.

BACKGROUNDRecent studies have identified signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4) as a susceptibility gene for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in different populations. In order to examine whether the allele distribution of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in gene STAT4 rs7574865 in patients with SLE is different from those of healthy controls in Chinese Northern Han population, we investigated whether the variants of STAT4 rs7574865 were associated with any specific clinical features of SLE.

METHODSWe genotyped SNPs in STAT4 rs7574865 in 252 patients with SLE and 497 healthy controls. All subjects were from the Northern part of Chinese Han population. The genotypes in rs7574865 were determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and consequence direct sequencing of PCR products in the DNA samples.

RESULTSThere was a significant difference in distribution of the SNPs in rs7574865 between the SLE patients and healthy controls. Compared with healthy controls, there was a significant correlation between TT genotypes in rs7574865 and the risk of SLE when GG genotype was used as a reference genotype after adjusting for gender and age. The frequency of T allele in the SLE patients was strongly significantly higher than that of healthy controls. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the distribution of SNP in rs7574865 between male and female SLE patients, when compared with healthy controls. The frequency of T allele in rs7574865 in male patients was significantly higher than that of male healthy controls or female patients. There was no significant correlation between the frequencies of T allele in STAT4 rs7574865 and the clinical features of SLE.

CONCLUSIONSThe SNP rs7574865 in STAT4 is strongly associated with risk of SLE in the Chinese Northern Han population. The TT genotype and T allele in STAT4 rs7574869 are susceptibility factors for SLE, especially for male SLE patients.

The N gene and genome promoter nucleotide sequence of a Chinese Peste des petits rumiants virus (PPRV) ("China/Tib/Gej/07-30") was firstly determined. The length of N gene was 1689 nucleotides with a single open reading frame (ORF). The nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence was compared with the homologous region of other PPRV isolates. The nucleotide sequence of the "China/Tib/Gej/07-30" was 91.7%-97.6% identical to other PPRV isolates, while a homology of 94.9%-98.5% could be observed at the amino acids level. The N gene encoded a protein of 525 amino acids. Several sequence motifs were identified on the basis of conservation in the PPRVs and the morbilliviruses. The genome length of promoter region was 107 nucleotides with 91.8%-98.2% identity to other PPRV isolates. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the "China/Tib/Gej/07-30" belonged to the Asian lineage.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathologic features and prognostic factors of Chinese patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

METHODSOne hundred and two cases of mantle cell lymphoma occurring in Chinese patients were studied by light microscopy and immunohistochemistry. The follow-up information was also analyzed. The cases were classified as mantle zone, nodular or diffuse patterns and as typical or blastoid variants. Age, Ann-Arbor staging, B symptoms, hematologic parameters, histologic variants, mitotic index and immunophenotype were assessed for possible prognostic implication.

RESULTSThe median age of the patients was 59 years (range: 30 to 79 years) and the male-to-female ratio was 2.92:1. Seventy-one patients (87.65%) presented with advanced stage disease (Ann Arbor stage III to IV). B symptoms were present in 45.45% of patients. The commonest site of involvement was lymph node (100%). The other involved sites included bone marrow (64.44%), spleen (63.16%), Waldeyer's ring (31.25%), peripheral blood (29.41%), liver (22.64%) and gastrointestinal tract (14.71%). All cases expressed B-cell markers but were negative for T-cell marker. Majority of cases were positive for cyclin D1 (94.12%) and CD5 (71.43%). Blastoid variant accounted for 24.51% of cases. Amongst the 68 cases with follow-up data available, the median survival was 10 months. Parameters associated with shorter survival included diffuse pattern, blastoid variant, high mitotic index, high proliferative activity and presence of bone marrow involvement.

CONCLUSIONSThe clinicopathologic features and prognostic factors of mantle cell lymphoma occurring in Chinese are similar to those in Caucasians. Diffuse pattern, blastoid variant, high mitotic index, high proliferative activity and involvement of bone marrow indicate poor prognosis.
