Objective To understand the clinical characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus with Antiphospholipid syndrome (SLE-APS).Methods The clinical data of 39 cases of SLE-APS were collected and analyzed retrospectively. Results Thirty-one patients had 48 thrombosis episodes in total, among which the most common presenting manifestations were deep venous thrombosis and stroke. 12 of 26 married women had fetal morbidity. The prevalence of anticardio lipin antibody (aCL) and lupus anticoagulant ( LA) was 72% and 41% , respectively. 24 patients had SLE at first,on an average of 9. 5 years later they had the characteristics of APS, 12 patients had thrombosis episodes or fetal morbidities ,4. 8 years later they developed into SLE,and 3 patients had the characteristics of SLE and APS from the onset The SLEDAI was less than 5 in five cases when they had thrombosis episodes or fetal morbidities.Conclusions The incidence of thrombosis episodes or fetal morbidities increased in SLE-APS patients. APS occurred before, after or at the same time with SLE. SLE patients might have the clinical features of APS during the steady stage. It's very important to ask the medical history in detail and measure aCL in lupus patients to find the risk factor of APS and prevent the APS' occurrence.

Objective: To optimize the ultrahigh pressure extraction ( UPE) process for forsythoside from Forsythia suspensa by Box-Behnken experimental design. Methods:On the basis of single factor screening, a three-factor and three-level Box-Behnken ex-perimental design was employed with liquid/material ratio( X1 ) , extraction pressure ( X2 ) and extraction time ( X3 ) as the independent variables. The response variable was the extraction yield of forsythoside. Results:The optimal UPE conditions for forsythoside were as follows:the ratio of solvent to material (ml·g-1) was 70, the extraction pressure was 151 MPa, and the extraction time was 114 s. With the optimal extraction process, the extraction yield of forsythoside was 13. 15 mg·g-1 . Conclusion:As a novel extraction tech-nology for Chinese herbal medicines, UPE procedure has higher extraction yield, lower extraction temperature, shorter extraction time and less power consumption, which provides a brand-new method for the extraction of forsythoside from Forsythia suspensa.

Objective To study the optimum decoloration technological conditions of crude polysaccharides from Cordyceps militaris Link. (PCM) by macroporous resin. Methods With the decolorization rate and retention rate of PCM as indexes, static adsorption factor experiment was used for the optimization of seven kinds of macroporous resin. And then the optimum conditions of decolorization of PCM were investigated by the static/dynamaic adsorption single-factor experiments. Results D941 macroporous resin is the best. The optimum decoloration technological conditions were as follows:initial concentration of the sample was 50 mg/mL, pH value was 5.5, operating temperature was 45℃, the flow rate of dynamaic adsorption was 2.5 BV/h, and the sample solution volume was 5 bed volume per hour. Under the optimal conditions, decolorization rate and retention rate of PCM were ( 93.9 ± 3.4) % and (91.7 ± 2.2) %, respectively. Conclusion The resin D941 is suitable for the decoloration of PCM. The optimized method is feasible and reliable, having the prospects for popularizing.

Objective To evaluate the post-puncture complications in children,and to evaluate the difference in the occurrence rate of headache and backache between patients who had 1 hour of supine recumbency and those who had 4 hours of supine recumbency,to provide evidence for the standardized lumbar puncture (LP) procedure of children.Methods Inpatients who were older than 3 and had diagnostic LP in the course of their treatment between Nov.2012 and Apr.2013 were enrolled.The LP was performed by the same investigator under the standardized institutional guideline for LP and the information of number of LP attempts,duration of LP and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drainage volume were recorded.After the procedure,all the children were randomly assigned into 2 groups:the test group had supine recumbency for 1 hour after LP,and the control group had it for 4 hours.For the first 5 days following LP,reports of headache and backache were recorded by another physician who didn't participate in this study.The difference in the occurrence rate of headache and backache between test group and control group was assessed by the chi-square test or Fisher's probabilities in 2 × 2 table.And a Logistic regression analysis was performed to assess the risk factors for the occurrence of the headache and backache.Results The overall frequency of headache was 4.6% (4/87 cases).The frequency of headache was not significantly different between the test group (2.4%) and control group (6.7%) (P =0.617).And the overall frequency of backache was 19.5 % (17/87 cases),and it was not significantly different between the 2 groups (test group:21.4%,control group:17.8 %,P =0.668).In a Logistic regression analysis,age (P =0.011,OR:6.884,95% CI:1.398-33.906) and the previous history of lumbar puncture (P =0.018,0R:0.126,95 % CI:0.026-0.618) were significant risk factors for the occurrence of backache.The risk of backache in children with more than 2 times of LP was decreased.And the risk was higher in the children older than 6 years than those younger than 6 years.Conclusions Headache and backache were the most frequent post-puncture complications in children.There was no difference between short duration (1 hour) of supine recumbency and long duration (4 hours) in preventing the occurrence of headache and backache after LP.
