Methods The assay was conducted with a ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18(2. 1 mm × 50 mm, 1. 7 μm) . The mobile phase consisted of methanol and ultrapure water and it was detected by gradient elution. The flow rate was 0. 4 mL·min-1 . Specificity, linear range, precision and accuracy, stability were evaluated to investigate the reliability of the method. The recov-ery of ginsenoside Rg1 in probe in vitro and in vivo was compared. Results The retention time of ginsenoside Rg1 was 1. 91 min, the linear range was 0. 1 ~50 μg · L-1 , intra-day and inter-day precisions were less than 15%. The recovery of ginsenoside Rg1 was (4. 05 ± 0. 28)% in vitro and(26. 96 ± 4. 45)% in vi-vo. Conclusion The LC-MS/MS method is accurate, sensitive, and reproducible for quantitative determina-tion of ginsenoside Rg1 in microdialysate. The probe recovery of ginsenoside Rg1 in vivo is higher than in vitro, and both are stable in different concentrations.

Objective:To investigate the genetic correlation of interleukin-12 (IL-12) pathway-related gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with psoriasis vulgaris and their interaction with HLA-Cw*0602 in populations of Mongolian and Han nationalities in Inner Mongolia.Methods:From December 2012 to March 2018, 1 409 inpatients with psoriasis vulgaris (1 030 of Han nationality and 379 of Mongo-lian nationality) and 1 483 healthy controls (965 of Han nationality and 518 of Mongolian nationality) were collected from the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, and served as patient group and control group respectively. Five milliliters of peripheral venous blood samples were collected from these subjects, and DNA was extracted. Nine SNPs located in the coding regions of IL-12 pathway-related genes were selected, including IL-12B (rs2082412, rs2288831, rs3212227, rs3213094, rs7709212) , IL-23R (rs11209026, rs2201841, rs7530511) and IL-28RA (rs4649203) genes, and detected by next-generation sequencing. HLA-Cw*0602 was genotyped by polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP) . Statistical analysis was carried out with PLINK1.07 software, Chi-square test was used to compare allele frequencies between the 2 groups, relative risk estimates of alleles were calculated by using odds ratio ( OR) , and chi-square test for R × C contingency tables was used for haplotype analysis. Results:The allele frequencies of rs2082412, rs2288831, rs3212227, rs3213094 and rs7709212 in the IL-12B gene were significantly lower in the patients with psoriasis vulgaris of Han nationality than in the controls of Han nationality (all P < 0.005) ; the allele frequency of rs3213094 in the IL-12B gene was significantly lower in the patients of Mongolian nationality than in the controls of Mongolian nationality ( P < 0.005) . The prevalence of HLA-Cw*0602 was significantly lower in the patients with psoriasis vulgaris of Han and Mongolian nationalities than in the controls of corresponding nationalities (both P < 0.005) . As stratification analysis showed, the allele frequencies of rs2082412, rs2288831, rs3212227, rs3213094 and rs7709212 in the IL-12B gene were significantly lower in HLA-Cw*0602-positive patients of Han nationality than in HLA-Cw*0602-positive controls of Han nationality (all P < 0.005) , while there was no significant difference between HLA-Cw*0602-negative patients of Han nationality and HLA-Cw*0602-negative controls of Han nationality (all P > 0.05) . Among the HLA-Cw*0602-positive or negative populations of Mongolian nationality, no significant difference was observed in the allele frequencies between the patients and controls (all P > 0.005) . Haplotypes were constructed using 5 SNPs in the IL-12B gene, and there was no significant difference in the frequencies of 6 haplotypes between the patients and controls of Mongolian or Han nationality (all P > 0.005) ; stratification analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the frequencies of 7 haplotypes between HLA-Cw*0602-positive/negative patients and controls of Mongolian or Han nationality (all P > 0.005) . Conclusion:IL-12 pathway-related gene polymorphisms are associated with psoriasis vulgaris in the populations of Mongolian and Han nationalities in Inner Mongolia, and there may be interaction between IL-12B and HLA-Cw*0602 in the occurrence of psoriasis vulgaris.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between radiographic parameters and the 4th lumbar(L4) degenerative spondylolisthesis.

METHODSFrom April 2010 to April 2012, 60 patients with the L 4 degenerative spondylolisthesis (DLS) were enrolled in DLS group, 56 healthy volunteers were recruited in control group. A series of radiographic parameters were measured in the two groups, including disc height (DH), disc degeneration index(DDI), L4 vertebral inclination angle(L4-VA), pelvic incidence (PI), L4 vertebral size (L4-VS), lumbar lordosis angle (LLA), facet joint angulation (FJA) of cephalad and caudad portions, delta FJA of cephlad and caudad portions, asymmetry variation of FJA, bone mineral density(BMD). Student's test was used to compare difference of parameters between two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to reveal risk factors of the development of DLS.

RESULTSFifty-three cases of L4 spondylolisthesis in DLS group were classified into grade I, 7 cases of L4 spondylolisthesis were classified into grade II. The average Boxall index was 0.17 ± 0.05. There were significant difference of DH, DDI, L4-VS, L4-VA, LLA, PI, FJA, BMD between DLS group and control group (t = 2.28-9.33, P = 0.021-0.043) . There were significant differences of delta FJA of cephlad and caudad portions in L3-4, L4-5 between DLS group and control group (t = 3.398 and 28.122, P = 0.000 and 0.039). There was no significant difference of asymmetry variation of FJA in L3-4, L4-5 between DLS group and control group (t = 0.209-0.465, P = 0.295-0.858). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LDS was more frequent among patients with smaller L4-VS(OR = 1.01, 95%CI = 1.000-1.024, P = 0.048), larger L4-VA (OR = 1.88, 95%CI = 14.000-14.600, P = 0.037), larger LLA (OR = 1.90, 95%CI = 1.600-15.800, P = 0.040), larger PI (OR = 2.58, 95%CI = 18.000-19.600, P = 0.029) and the more sagittal FJA (OR = 2.46, 95%CI = 1.400-16.400, P = 0.035) than those in control group.

CONCLUSIONSDLS is signifantly correlated with L4-VS, L4-VA, LLA, PI, FJA . They may be risk factors of the development of DLS.

Objective:To investigate the relationship of polymorphisms in metabolic syndrome-related genes with psoriasis vulgaris (PsV) and their interaction with HLA-C*06:02 in populations of Mongolian nationality.Methods:Totally, 379 PsV inpatients of Mongolian nationality and 518 healthy controls of Mongolian nationality were collected from the Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University from December 2012 to March 2018. Sixteen previously reported single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and HLA-C*06:02, which were related to metabolic syndrome and its components, were selected. Next-generation sequencing and polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) typing were performed to determine the genotypes of these subjects. Minor allele frequencies of the 16 mutation sites and HLA-C*06:02 were calculated in the PsV group and control group, and chi-square test was used to analyze the differences in the minor allele frequencies of SNPs between the 2 groups.Results:There was no significant difference in the minor allele frequencies of the 16 SNPs susceptible to metabolic syndrome between the Mongolian PsV patients and healthy controls (all P > 0.05), while the minor allele frequency of HLA-C*06:02 significantly differed between the 2 groups ( P = 4.09 × 10 -35, OR = 3.41). Among the HLA-C*06:02-positive subjects, the minor allele frequencies of rs7593730_T and rs6931514_G significantly differed between the 252 PsV patients and 191 healthy controls ( P = 0.016, OR = 0.64; P = 0.041, OR = 1.33, respectively) ; no significant difference was observed in the minor allele frequencies of the 16 SNPs between the PsV patients and healthy controls among the HLA-C*06:02-negative subjects ( P > 0.05) . Conclusion:The SNPs of rs7593730 and rs6931514 may be related to PsV in populations of Mongolian nationality in Inner Mongolia, and may interact with HLA-C*06:02.

:To evaluate the impact of socioeconomic status，population mobility，prevention and control measures on the early-stage coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) development in major cities of China. : The rate of daily new confirmed COVID-19 cases in the 51 cities with the largest number of cumulative confirmed cases as of February 19，2020 (except those in Hubei province) were collected and analyzed using the time series cluster analysis. It was then assessed according to three aspects，that is, socioeconomic status，population mobility，and control measures for the pandemic. : According to the analysis on the 51 cities，4 development patterns of COVID-19 were obtained，including a high-incidence pattern (in Xinyu)，a late high-incidence pattern (in Ganzi)，a moderate incidence pattern (in Wenzhou and other 12 cities)，and a low and stable incidence pattern (in Hangzhou and other 35 cities). Cities with different types and within the same type both had different scores on the three aspects. : There were relatively large difference on the COVID-19 development among different cities in China，possibly affected by socioeconomic status，population mobility and prevention and control measures that were taken. Therefore，a timely public health emergency response and travel restriction measures inside the city can interfere the development of the pandemic. Population flow from high risk area can largely affect the number of cumulative confirmed cases.
