BACKGROUND: Our previous studies have found that the Kangguzengsheng Capsules can promote fracture healing.OBJECTIVE: To explore the influence of Kangguzengsheng Capsules-containing serum on the proliferation andosteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.METHODS: Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups. The capsule powder was resolved into1 mL natural saline and intragastrically administered into rats according to 1.16 g/100 g, 3.48 g/100 g, 10.44 g/100 g in low,medium and high dose groups. Rats in control group were given equal volume of natural saline. After consecutiveadministration for 12 days, blood samples from the abdominal aorta were collected and serum samples were isolated andpreserved until use. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and purified by the whole marrow adhesion method,and identified by flow cytometry. Harvested cells were divided into four groups and cultured in the osteogenic culture mediumcontaining different kinds of serum samples as described above. MTT method was adopted to test the cell proliferation at 24,48 and 72 hours of culture. Alkaline phosphatase activity in cells was detected at 7 and 14 days of culture. Alkalinephosphatase staining was performed at 7 days of culture, and alizarin red staining performed at 14 days of culture.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared with the blank control group, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells showedno significant changes in the proliferative ability and alkaline phosphatase activity in the low dose group, but these twoindices were significantly increased in the high and medium dose groups at 48 and 72 hours of culture or at 7 and 14days of culture, respectively (P < 0.05). Cells positive for alkaline phosphatase and alizarin red staining were observed inthe low, medium and high dose groups, and the cell staining was most remarkable in the high dose group. To conclude,Kangguzengsheng Capsules-containing serum can promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bonemarrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between lactate,lactate clearance rate and prognosis of children with septic shock.Methods A total of 42 children with septic shock admitted in the PICU from Oct 2009 to Jun 2011 were enrolled in the study.All the children were given goal-directed therapy early according to the treatment routine of septic shock.The blood lactate levels before resuscitation and at 1h,2h,6 h after resuscitation were detected,the lactate clearance rates at 1 h,2 h,6 h after resuscitation were calculated.All the patients were divided into the survival group ( n =20 ) and the non-survival group ( n =22 ) by prognosis.The relationship between the early lactate level,lactate clearance rate and prognosis of the children with septic shock was evaluated.Results ( 1 ) The lactate levels before resuscitation and at 1 h,2 h,6 h after resuscitation in the survival group were significantly lower than those in the non-survival group [ (3.92 ± 2.58) mmol/L vs (6.91 ± 4.16) mmol/L,( 2.79 ± 1.89 ) mmol/L vs ( 7.93 ± 4.39 ) mmol/L,( 2.20 ±1.83) mmol/L vs (9.20 ±4.97) mmol/L,( 1.32 ±0.51 ) mmol/L vs (9.94 ±5.02) mmol/L,P ＜0.05].(2) The lactate clearance rates at 1 h,2 h,6 h after resuscitation in the survival group were significantly higher than those in the non-survival group [ (26.31 ± 20.82) ％ vs ( - 24.28 ± 53.39 ) ％,(43.46 ± 17.85 ) ％ vs (-34.31±58.98)％,(61.04±16.71)％ vs ( -45.33 ±83.51)％,P＜0.05].(3) The area under curve of the lactate and the lactate clearance rate at 6 h after resuscitation were 99.4％ and 96.7％ according to the receiver operating characteristic curve.The children had high mortality if the lactate value ＞ 2.20 mmol/L and lactate clearance rate ＜ 18.65％ at 6 h after resuscitation.Conclusion It is important to dynamicly monitor the lactate of the children with septic shock,the lactate and the lactate clearance rate at 6 h after resuscitation can be used to evaluate the prognosis.

BACKGROUND: In patients with obstructive sleep apnea(OSA),the degree of severity of OSA is mostly related to the sleep time spent in the supine position. According to the apnea-hypopnea index(AHI), positional and n onpositional OSA has been distinguished.OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical characteristics of positional and nonpositional OSA and investigatethe relationship between sleep position and respiratory function of patients with OSA.DESIGN: A comparative clinica] observation based on the OSA patients.SETTING: Center of Sleep Disorders,Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.PARTICIPANTS: From October 1998 to May 2002,225 patients were examined with overnight polysomnography in the Center of Sleep Disorders,Department of Respiratory Disease, Nanjing General Hospital of Nanjing Command. According to the inclusion criteria of ① AHI≥10 times/hour;② Sleep time in supine and lateral positions≥30 minutes; ③ Over 20years of age; 225 patients were selected from the total of 415 consecutive patients,including 63 with positional and 162 with nonpositional OSA.METHODS: All patients received overnight monitoring with HMS-5500polysomnography system(Respironics Inc USA) in the sleep laboratory. Queries for a detailed case history and physical examination were performed with the pulmonary functions evaluated with body p lethysmography. The clinical data and results of polysomnographic and pulmonary function tests were compared between the two groups of patients and a multiple stepwise regression analysis was employed to evaluate the determinant factors for sleep position dependence of the patients' condition.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Main outcome: Comparisons of the clinical data,polysomnographic result and pulmonary function between the two groups. Secondary outcome: Correlation between classification of OSA and the clinical data.RESULTS: Totally 63 (28%) of the 225 OSA patients were identified as the positional type,who had significantly greater body mass index (BMI)then the nonpositional type patients [(43.46 ± 16.43) kg/m2 vs (23.90 ± 12.36) kg/m2,t =3. 977,P<0.01]. Except for sleeping time in lateral and supine positions, minimal SatO2 and basic SatO2 before the matching for BMI,all the other factors in polysomnograms of the two groups were significant different(P<0.05 or P<0.01). After BMI matching,all the measurements were identical to those recorded for the primary grouping with the exception of nocturnal limb movement frequency,which differed but insignificant between the two groups. The pulmonary function in the two groups was no significant difference(P>0.05) . Multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that AHI and BMI were the two determinant factors for positional dependence of OSA with a predictive power of 26. 2%. Linear correlation analysis showed correlation of AHI and SatO2 with BMI in the whole group and nonpositional group(P<0.05 or P<0.01),but not in the positional group (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: About one-third of the OSA patients shows sleep position dependence,who may respond favorably to sleep position training. Sufficient patency can be retained in the upper airway of these patients to relieve respiratory obstruction during sleep and improve the respiratory function.

The solvent extraction of rare earths with mixtures of di-( 2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA,H2A2) and sec-nonylphenoxy acetic acid (CA100,H_2B_2) has been carried out. The separation abilities among rare earths were determined and compared with those with D_2EHPA alone. The mechanism of synergistic extraction of lanthanum was discussed. The methods of slope analysis and constant mole were used to examine the extraction stoichiometry. Effects of acidities,concentrations of extractants,and temperature on the extractabilities have been investigated. The results showed that the synergistic effects decrease with increasing atomic numbers of rare earths. At proper ratios of the extractants,the separation abilities of some rare earths with D2EHPA +CA100 were higher than those with D2EHPA alone,which may be applied to the separation of these rare earths. The extracted complex of lanthanum with D2EHPA + CA100 was determined as LaH5A6B2. The synergistic extraction is endothermically driven.

Chronic osteomyelitis is one of the most common disorder in clinic. In recent years due to diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and trauma induced disease increased, the prevalence rate increased. With the development of magnetic resonance imaging and CT imaging technology, it greatly improved the accuracy of clinical diagnosis of chronic osteomyclitis and ability to describe the infection characteristics, and provide a reliable basis for clinical treatment. The current research on chronic osteomyelitis mainly concentrated on the aspects of imaging applications and ways of using antibiotic optimization control inflammation, defect restoration and reconstruction of blood supply and treatment. But the best time to the antibiotic therapy and the use of program is still uncertain, for after debridement, bone grafting time and defect repair function of fast recovery still need further research.

Network pharmacology is an emerging discipline based on the Disease-Gene-Drug multilevel network. And it has been used to forecast the drug targets and improve the efficiency of drug discovery. Its research ideas are similar to the overall efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which attracts more and more medical re-searchers to look for the joint point of TCM and network pharmacology. A series of approaches on disease-related genes, predicting the information of target and active ingredients of TCM emerge. In this paper, the network pharma-cology research tools, databases and their applications were summarized and introduced. This paper also proposed scientific strategies to separate active ingredients of TCM using network pharmacology, so as to improve the efficiency and speed of finding active ingredients of TCM.
