Objective: The present study is to clarificate Decoction of Xiaoerxishi Syrup Prescription. Methods: Two processes including chitosan flocculation and ethanol precipitation were appraised by comparison of extract percent, liquid clarity and hesperitin content, which was determined by HPLC, after the conditions of each process were optimized with respect to the volume ratio of ethanol to the decoction for ethanol precipitation and processing temperature, the concentration and amount of chitosan for chitosan flocculation. Results: The process of ethanol precipitation is better than that of chitosan flocculation.

Objective To explore the bone mineral density (BMD) status and its influencing factors in schizophrenia patients in order to provide basis for risk assessment in psychiatric nursing.Methods A total of 1,139 hospitalized schizophrenia patients were recruited and assigned into the medication group (n=652) and the non-medication group (n=487) according to previous antipsychotic drug history.T-score and Z-score of BMD were determined using Sunlight Omnisense 7000S Bone Densitometry.Blood calcium,blood phosphorus and serum prolactin levels were measured using fasting blood of ulnar vein.Results Differences in age,BMD,milk intake,level of activity,level of smoking,history of fall,history of fracture,serum Ca2+ and PRL were statistically significant between two groups(P<0.05);there were significant differences in BMD rank distributions among schizophrenia patients with different courses of disease and lengths of taking antipsychotics (P<0.001);multiple linear regression showed that influencing factors of BMD with statistical significance were courses of disease,lengths of taking antipsychotics,serum Ca2+,serum PRL,milk intake,level of activity,and level of smoking.Conclusion The BMD was lower in the medication group than that in the non-medication group,and the development of osteoporosis was correlated to various factors.Clinical nurses should master high-risk factors thoroughly and adopt intervention measures in a timely manner.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of MSCT in abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA).Methods 26 patients suspected AAA and admitted to our hospital were studied and checked by MSCT prospectively.The accuracy and features of MSCT were analyzed. Results 26 patients were diagnosed as AAA by MSCT,in which 17 cases were true AAA,and 9 were false AAA.MSCT for true AAA patients showed fusiform dilatation of abdominal aorta bulging to the left,and showed visible thrombus and calcification in aneurysm wall of residual tumor around the cavity when aneurysm ruptured.MSCT of false AAA showed aortic eccentric enlargement lump,which could be outside the boundaries of vascular calcification.25 cases of AAA were surgically confirmed,and the coincidence rate of MSCT and pathology was as high as 96.1% (25/26).Arterial wall calcification was found in all patients,in which 17 cases had mural thrombus.Conclusion MSCT is a safe,effective and non-invasive diagnostic technology for early detection and treatment of AAA, which may help determine patient’s condition and guide the treatment.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of single stage cavernostomy and myoplasty on the aspergillus thoracic empyema. Method Four patients suffering from aspergillus thoracic empyema were treated with single stage cavernostomy and myoplasty. They got the inflammation of aspergillus after the operation for tuberculosis in 2, bronchiectasis in 1 and lung cyst in 1. They were performed rib resection, cavernostomy, closure of the bronchial openings and total/partial obliteration of the cavity with a muscle flap as a single stage technique. Pectoralis major muscle was used for the myoplasty in 1, latissimus dorsi in 1 and intercostal muscle in 2. All patients were given the therapy of nutritional support, local pressure dressing and oral anti-fungus drugs. Result Two patients got the primary healing, the chest tube were pulled out 2 days later and they were discharged 12 days after the operation. One patient′s cavity became little and there was pus drained from the chest tube, he cured after prolonged draining and washed with the anti-fungus drugs. One patient dead for pneumonia 67 days after the operation. Conclusion Cavernostomy and myoplasty as a single stage technique is safe and reliable in the management of patients with aspergillus thoracic empyema.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at Huatuo jiaji points plus point Shixuan bloodletting in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.Methods One hundred patients with cervical spondylotic radiculopathy were randomly allocated to treatment and control groups, 50 cases each. The treatment group received acupuncture at Huatuo jiaji points plus point Shixuan bloodletting and the control group, acupuncture at Huatuo jiaji points alone. Plasma viscosity was measured in the two groups before and after treatment. The clinical therapeutic effects were compared between the two groups.Results There was a statistically significant pre-/post-treatment difference in plasma viscosity in the two groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant post-treatment difference in plasma viscosity between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). The total efficacy rate was 94.0% in the treatment group and 84.0% in the control group; there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture at Huatuo jiaji points plus point Shixuan bloodletting is an effective way to treat cervical spondylotic radiculopathy.

Objective: To observe the effects of vitamin A (VA)-fortified edible oil on improving the immune function of children. Method: The marginally VA-deficient children were selected as volunteers in four cities of China. Nutritional intervention was conducted in the children with edible oil fortified with VA 7500?g/kg for five months. The VA level, the contents of IgA,IgG,IgM and complement C3 in sera of the volunteers were detected at the end of intervention. Results: The levels of VA, IgA,and C3 in sera of the intervention group were significantly higher than those of the control group, but no differences of IgG and IgM were observed. Conclusion:The VA status and immune function of the AD children could be effectively improved with vitamin A-fortified edible oil.

Objective To examine the possibility that homocysteine(Hcy) may augment ?-amyloid(A?) neurotoxicity.Method Cultured hippocampal neurons were treatd with Hcy and/or A?42 and it's apoptosis,calcium influx,DNA damage and oxidative injury were examined.Results Combined treatment with 250?mol/L Hcy and 10?mol/L A?42 increased the apoptosis rate of hippocampal neurons significantly more than either agent alone,and even the sum of each agent treated alone.The combined treatment significantly exceeded the cytosolic calcium accumulation and MDA obtained with either alone or the sum of each agent.A significant increase in DNA damage also occurred in neurons exposed to A?42 in the presence of Hcy,but the magnitude of the increase was not greater than that seen with either treatment alone.Conclusion Hcy could potentiate A? neurotoxicity by neuron exitotoxicity,oxidative stress and inducing apoptosis.
