Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)is prevalent in patients with characteristics of metabolic syndrome.The main clinico-pathological manifestations of NAFLD are fatty degeneration of liver parenchyma cells and fat storage,which can progress to liver cirrhosis and eventually lead to liver failure.Toll -like receptor 4 (TLR4)signaling pathway is involved in the development and progression of NAFLD.At present,the role of TLR4 in the onset of NAFLD is highly valued by clinical doctors.This paper reviews the structure of TLR4, the composition of TLR4 signaling pathway,the regulation of TLR4 expression,the function of TLR4,and the relationship between TLR4 and NAFLD,suggesting that TLR4 signaling pathway is going to be an important research field in the treatment of NAFLD in the future.

Objective: To discuss the selection pattern of points and meridians in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of gouty arthritis (GA) by analyzing clinical literatures related to GA, and to provide reference for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of GA. Methods: Clinical literatures related to GA treated with acupuncture-moxibustion published between January 1981 and July 2017 were collected from Chinese databases. The points, meridians, frequency and treatment methods were analyzed. Results: A total of 78 studies were included. For meridians, the top 5 meridians used were the Spleen Meridian (67 times), Liver Meridian (59 times), Stomach Meridian (53 times), Kidney Meridian (49 times) and Large Intestine Meridian (44 times). For points selection, the leading 5 points were Taichong (LR 3) (79 times), Taibai (SP 3) (68 times), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) (61 times), Taixi (KI 3) (57 times) and Yinlingquan (SP 9) (55 times). For major and adjunct points, the 5 most significant major points were Taichong (LR 3) (79 times), Taibai (SP 3) (68 times), Sanyinjiao (SP 6) (61 times), Yinlingquan (SP 9) (37 times) and Taixi (KI 3) (32 times). The 5 most significant adjunct points were Yanglingquan (GB 34) (31 times), Fenglong (ST 40) (30 times), Xuehai (SP 10) (29 times), Taixi (KI 3) (25 times) and Quchi (LI 11) (21 times). For treatment methods, the top 5 methods used were acupuncture-moxibustion alone for 15 studies, acupuncture combined with medicinal herbs for 11 studies, acupuncture-moxibustion combined with medicinal herbs for 10 studies, acupuncture alone for 7 studies, and electroacupuncture combined with bloodletting for 5 studies. Conclusion: The main meridians chosen in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of GA were the Spleen, Liver, Stomach, Kidney and Large Intestine Meridians, conforming to the syndrome differentiation principle of tonifying spleen and kidney, clearing heat and draining dampness. Points mainly locate at lower limbs and feet around the affected area, which was a reflection of peripheral treatment function of points. The data mining results of meridian and point selection in acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of GA conform to the disease and syndrome differentiation theory and provide references for acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of GA.

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the process for extraction and purification of Schisandrin in Fructus Schisandra Chinensis. METHODS: The orthogonal test L9( 34) was adopted to optimize the water extraction process using Schisandrin and its extracts as indicators. The parallel test was used to optimize the parameters of the alcohol precipitation technique. RESULTS: The optimized process for extraction and purification of Schisandrin was as follows: extracting three times using 10- fold water, 1. 5h each time, with filter liquids concentrated to 1. 4g of crude drug mL- 1 then precipitated to 80% ; filtering alcohol liquids, and adjusting pH value to 7. CONCLUSIONS: This method can be used as a reference for the extraction of Fructus Schisandra Chinensis.

Xiangxi (the western part of Hunan province) Liu's infantile tuina,as one main school of current infantile tuina in China,highlights the compatibility of the specific points of Wujing in children,the idea of treatment by syndrome differentiation,and produces unique efficacy in the treatment of common diseases in children.Exogenous fever in children can be treated with this method with excellent efficacy.Based on the clinical experience and effective cases treated by this tuina school,the authors elaborated the clinical thought and experience from the perspective view of tuina,for the promotion of Xiangxi Liu's infantile tuina in clinic.

Objective To establish a method for determination of 2-chloroacetamide in cosmetics. Methods The gas chromatography method had been developed for determination of 2-chloroacetamide in cosmetics. Samples were solved with ethanol treated with ultrasonic homogenization centrifuge separated by HP-INNWax column determined by FID. Results The 2-chloroacetamide concentration had a better linear range in the range of 0.0-10.0 mg/ml. The minimum detection limit was below 0.01 ?g. The relative standard deviation was less than 5.6% and the recovery rates were 90%-100% respectively. Conclusion This method is simple fast and sensitive.

Abstract: Objective To explore the carrying status of four common deafness genes and mutations on 10 loci in newborns in Hainan, and to analyze the molecular epidemiological characteristics of deafness genes and their loci, so as to provide scientific basis for formulating neonatal deafness gene screening strategy and promoting children's hearing health in Hainan. Methods Newborns born in Hainan from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects. The demographic characteristics of the research objects were collected. At the same time, the plantar blood of newborns was collected, and multiplex PCR amplification and directed hybridization combined with high-throughput sequencing technology were applied to detect 10 mutation loci on 4 common deafness genes. T-test or chi square test was used to process the data. Results A total of 7 124 newborns were included in the study through informed consent, 219 cases of deafness gene mutation were detected with the detection rate of deafness gene of 3.07%. The detection rates of GJB2, SLC26A4, MT-RNR1 and GJB3 were 1.56% (111/7 124), 1.18% (84/7 124), 0.21% (15/7 124) and 0.11% (8/7 124) respectively. Among the 10 loci of the four genes, the positive detection rate of c.235delC locus of GJB2 was the highest, which was 1.38% (98/7 124), followed by c.919-2A>G of SLC26A4 (0.87%, 62/7 124); 2.63% (113/4 289) of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene; in terms of gene type, the detection rate of GJB2 gene in newborns who failed the hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed the hearing screening [2.23% (63/7 124) vs 1.12% (48/7 124),P<0.01]; in terms of gene loci, the detection rate of c.235delC locus in newborns who failed hearing screening was higher than that in newborns who passed hearing screening [2.09% (59/7 124) vs 0.91% (39/7 124),P<0.01]. Conclusion The most common deafness genes types in Hainan were GJB2 and SLC26A4; The most common gene mutation sites were c.235delC and c.919-2A>G; 2.63% of the newborns who passed the preliminary hearing screening still carried the deafness gene, among which the high-risk newborns with MT-RNR1 and GJB3 genes were found. Therefore, hearing screening should be combined with deafness gene screening to improve the detection rate of children at high risk of hearing loss.

Objective To assess the current status of knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) towards antibiotic use among community residents in Hangzhou, and to explore the correlations among them. Methods A total of 449 permanent residents in Hangzhou were randomly selected using a multistage stratified random sampling method. Self-reported data on basic demographic factors, and relevant KAP information were collected by the questionnaire survey. Differences in KAP scores according to each demographic factor were assessed by the t test or ANOVA test, and AMOS 21.0 was used for the path analysis. Results Scores for knowledge, attitude and practice regarding antibiotic use were (6.17±2.45), (6.45±0.99) and (6.21±1.02) respectively. Results of the path analysis showed that education level and age had effects on the knowledge (coefficients: 0.57 and -0.38 respectively) . Age, gender and knowledge had effects on the attitude (coefficients: -0.27, 0.12 和 0.02 respectively), and attitudes, gender, monthly income and the level of education had effects on the practice (coefficients: 0.48、 0.37、 0.06 and 0.02 respectively) . Conclusion Community residents in Hangzhou lack relevant knowledge, and there are some irrational attitudes and practices regarding antibiotic use. There is a correlation between knowledge and attitudes, as well as between attitudes and practices, but the knowledge and practices are not correlated.
