OBJECTIVE: Adopting methods of cell culture to explore the effects and mechanisms of Jianpi Bushen Huoxue Prescription (JPBSHXP), a traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine for strengthening spleen, reinforcing kidney and activating blood circulation, in inhibiting hematopoietic cells apoptosis in a mouse model of aplastic anemia (AA). METHODS: Blood serum of AA mice was made from an AA mouse model. Blood serums containing different traditional Chinese compound herbal medicine were made from rats after intragastric administration of JPBSHXP and its related decoctions, respectively. Bone marrow cells of normal mice were incubated by these blood serums for 24 hours, respectively. The apoptosis of the bone marrow cells were assayed by flow cytometry and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). RESULTS: It was indicated that the bone marrow cells of normal mice incubated with blood serum of AA mice displayed typical apoptosis. The apoptosis rates of bone marrow cells of the AA mice incubated by blood serum containing different traditional Chinese herbal medicine were decreased. The effect of Bushen (reinforcing kidey) Recipe was better than Jianpi (strengthening spleen) Recipe and Huoxue (activating blood circulation) Recipe, while the effect of JPBSHXP was the best. TEM results showed that the effect of Bushen Recipe was better than that of the Jianpi Recipe and the Huoxue Recipe, while the effect of JPBSHXP was the best. CONCLUSION: JPBSHXP and its related decoctions can significantly decrease the apoptosis rate of bone marrow mononuclear cells of the AA mice. It is inferred that JPBSHXP can promote bone marrow hematogenesis.

Objective Through the analysis of cases,to improve the cognition of clinicians on extracranial vas-cular embolism diseases(VED)in children.Methods The clinical information included incidence trend,thrombophi-lia,clinical features,treatment and prognosis of 29 children with VED,who were admitted from January 201 1 to Decem-ber 201 5 in Nanjing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University,and retrospectively analyzed.Results The annual rate of VED increased from 0 to 1 .49 per 1 0 000 hospital admissions from January 201 1 to December 201 5.In 29 cases,there were 20 male and 9 female,with an average age of 6.03 years old (2 h -1 3.83 years old).In-fants accounted for >20%(6 /29 cases).The average age of the female,non infected group,rheumatic disease group and venous thrombosis group was higher than that of the male,the infection group,the non rheumatic disease group and the arterial embolization group,but there was no significant difference(all P >0.05).Thrombophilia were as follows:in-fection disease,heart disease,kidney disease syndrome,rheumatoid disease,tumor,and twins embolization syndrome. Risk factors included central venous line,immobility,dehydration,glucocorticoids use,etc.Heart disease was the leading cause of non thrombotic embolism,while other thrombophilic diseases resulted in thrombotic embolism.Pulmonary em-bolism was mainly seen in patients with severe pneumonia,especially mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP ).The older the age,the more typical clinical manifestations,and significantly elevated D dimer,fibrin/fibrinogen degradation products tips VED.Treatment depends on the degree of risk.Thirty -seven point five percent(3 /8 cases)of children with arterial embolism were less than 1 year old,and the mortality 25.00% (2 /8 cases)was significantly higher than that of venous thrombosis 1 7.65%(3 /1 7 cases)and 1 1 .76% (2 /1 7 cases).Conclusion Heart disease mainly cause arterial embolism and infection,while nephritic syndrome and rheumatic disease mainly cause venous embolism.Pulmona-ry embolism is mainly seen in children with severe pneumonia,especially MPP.The risk of arterial embolization is higher than that of venous embolism.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristic,level of plasma renin angiotensin (PRA),plas-ma angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)and plasma aldosterone(Aldo)in the sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (SAHS)patients, and to investigate the association between SAHS and hypertension.Methods The patients were selected for the study who were monitored with polysomnography.They were divided into SAHS group and non-SAHS group according to apea-hypopnea index(AHI),and there were 180 patients in the SAHS group,175 patients in the non-SAHS group. The systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and the level of PRA,plasma Ang II and plasma Aldo were compared by variance analysis.Results The gender composition was different between the two groups,and had statistically significant difference(χ2 =16.30,P <0.01).The data of age,body mass index,neck circumference, waistline,DBP,SBP in SAHS group were significantly higher than those in non-SAHS group,and the differences were statistically significant(t =6.84,8.19,9.84,6.63,7.08,5.45,all P <0.01 ).The prevalence of hypertension in SAHS group was 46.58%,which was higher than 18.20% in non-SAHS group,and the difference had statistically significant(χ2 =46.71,P <0.01).The AHI had positive correlation with SBP,DBP,and they had statistically signifi-cant differences (rs =0.162,0.228,all P <0.01).The levels of PRA and plasma Ang Ⅱ were lower in SAHS group than those in non-SAHS group,while the level of plasma Aldo was higher in SAHS group than that in non-SAHS group,and had statistically significant differences(F =15.41,14.21,17.67,all P <0.01).In the SAHS group,the levels of PRA and plasma Ang Ⅱ were lower in hypertension group than those in non-hypertension group,while the level of plasma Aldo was higher in hypertension group than that in non-hypertension group,and had statistically signif-icant differences (F =15.41,14.21,17.67,all P <0.01).Also,the levels of PRA and plasma Ang Ⅱ were lower in SAHS group with hypertension than those in non-SAHS group with hypertension,while the level of plasma Aldo was higher in SAHS group with hypertension than that in non-SAHS group with hypertension,and the differences were sta-tistically significant(F =15.41,14.21,17.67,all P <0.01).Conclusion The occurrence of SAHS is correlated with the gender composition,age,body mass index,neck circumference,waistline,DBP and SBP.In SAHS complica-tions in each system,the highest incidence is hypertension.And the AHI has positive correlation with SBP,DBP,and the difference is significant.In the SAHS group,if the AHI is higher,the risk of hypertension is greater.In the SAHS patients with hypertension,the level of plasma Aldo is significantly elevated,while the levels of PRA and plasma AngⅡ are decreased significantly.
