OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the main active components in Citrus chacheiensis with different storage time (1-19 years). METHODS:HPLC was conducted to determine the content of hesperidin:the column was Diamonsil C18 with mobile phase of methanol-acetic acid-water(35∶4∶61,V/V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 283 nm,col-umn temperature was 25 ℃,and the injection volume was 5 μl;the contents of nobiletin and tangeretin:the column was Diamon-sil C18 with mobile phase of water-methanol(gradient elution)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 326 nm,col-umn temperature was 25 ℃,and the injection volume was 10 μl;and the content of synephrine:the column was Diamonsil C18 with mobile phase of methanol-potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution(taking 0.6 g potassium dihydrogen phosphate,1.0 g sodi-um dodecyl sulfate,1 ml glacial acetic acid dissolved to 1 000 ml)(65∶35,V/V)at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,detection wavelength was 275 nm,column temperature was 25 ℃,and the injection volume 20 μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 500-4 500 ng for hesperidin(r=0.999 8),38.816-388.16 ng for nobiletin(r=0.999 6),19.936-199.36 ng for tangeretin(r=0.999 5)and 640-2 560 ng for synephrine(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 3%;recoveries were 96.42%-102.75%(RSD=2.54%,n=6),97.42%-99.95%(RSD=2.46%,n=6),99.26%-106.19%(RSD=2.31%,n=6) and 97.47%-99.76%(RSD=1.95%,n=6),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple and stable with good reproducibility, and can be used for the contents determination of main active components in C. chacheiensis with different storage time. Pericarpi-um citri“the older the better”may be irrelevant to the change of the contents of the above-mentioned 4 active components,and it is speculated related to the release of volatile oil content to ease dryness.

This study is to investigate the effect of ferulic acid on learning and memory impairments of vascular dementia (VD) rats and its mechanism of action. VD rats model was replicated by permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion (2VO). The learning and memory capability of VD rats was evaluated by Morris water maze. The activity of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and the content of glutamic acid (Glu) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in hippocampus of VD rats' brain were determined, separately. The results showed that ferulic acid could alleviate learning and memory deficits of VD rats significantly. Ferulic acid was found to inhibit the activity of AChE and increased the activity of SOD in rat hippocampus. In addition, ferulic acid could also decrease the content of Glu and MDA in rat hippocampus. These results suggested that ferulic acid could alleviate VD rats' learning and memory deficits, which might be due to antioxidation, the improvement of cholinergic system in brain, or the inhibitory of nerve injury by excitatory amino acids.

OBJECTIVE:To study the mechanism of Aurantii fructus immaturus(AFI)and its main active ingredients in pro-moting gastrointestinal motility of model rats with spleen deficiency. METHODS:170 rats were randomly divided into blank group (10 rats) and modeling group (160 rats),rats in modeling group was induced models with spleen deficiency by bitter cold diar-rhea+irregular diet. After modeling, rats were randomly divided into model group, naringin (NA) low-dose, medium-lose, high-dose groups(3.267,6.535,13.070 mg/mL),neohesperidin(NE)low-dose,medium-lose,high-dose groups(3.865,7.730, 15.460 mg/mL),synephrine(SY)low-dose,medium-lose,high-dose groups(0.252,0.504,1.008 mg/mL),compatibility groups with 3 monomer ingredients (NA-NE-SY) low-dose,medium-lose,high-dose and AFI water decoction low-dose,medium-lose, high-dose groups(0.104,0.208,0.416 g/mL,calculated by crude drug),ig,once a day,10 mL/kg,for 7 d. After the last admin-istration,gastrin (GAS) in serum,and acetylcholine (ACh),motilin (MTL),substance P (SP),vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP)levels in plasma were detected. RESULTS:Compared with blank group,GAS level in serum and ACh,MTL,SP levels in plasma in model group were reduced(P<0.01),VIP level in plasma was increased(P<0.05). Compared with model group,ex-cept for the GAS level in serum showed no obvious change in NA high-dose group and SY doses groups,other medicine groups were obviously increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the ACh levels in serum were obviouly increased in NE high-dose group,SY high-dose group and AFI water decoction low-dose group(P<0.01). MTL levels in plasma were obviously increased in NE medi-um-dose,high-dose groups,SY high-dose group,compatibility low-dose,medium-dose groups and AFI water decoction medi-um-dose,high-lose groups (P<0.05);SP levels in plasma were obviously increased in NA low-dose,medium-dose groups and NE doses groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01);VIP levels were reduced in NA low-dose group,SY high-dose group and AFI water decoc-tion low-dose,medium-lose groups(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:AFI may promote the gastrointestinal motility of model rats with spleen deficiency by promoting the secretion of GAS,ACh,MTL,and inhibiting the secretion of VIP;there are differences be-tween AFI and the 3 monomer ingredients in regulation of gastrointestinal hormones.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the efficacy and security of different administrations of propofol on the sedation in upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures in snoring patients. METHODS: A total of 1,117 patients with snoring in ASA I-II level, who underwent gastroscopy and received propofol as sedation, were assigned to Group A, Group B, and Group C.These groups had different administration methods of propofol. The dose of propofol, response to endoscopic procedures, changes of oxygen saturation of arterial blood (SPO₂), incidence of severe respiratory depression and sedation quality assessed by operators were observed. RESULTS: The incidence of transient decline in SPO₂ in Group A, B, and C were 50.4%, 3.1%, and 18.5%, respectively. The doses of propofol of Group A, B, and C were (108.50±18.02) mg, (57.50±7.50) mg, and (79.80±10.02) mg, respectively, with significant difference (P<0.05). The incidence of severe respiratory depression in Group A was 1.2%, but Group B and C were 0%. Compared with Group A(100%) and C(100%), the satisfaction rate of sedation quality in Group B was 74%, with significant difference (P<0.05). CONCLUSION During the upper gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures, snoring patients are premedicated with propofol in various uses by steps or one slow administration. Both methods are safe and effective to reduce the incidence of severe respiratory depression, and patients have no memory of the procedure.

Objective:To compare the long-term oncological outcomes between laparoscopic and abdominal surgery in stage Ⅰa1 （lymph-vascular space invasion-positive, LVSI +）- Ⅰb1 cervical cancer patients with different tumor sizes. Methods:Based on the Big Database of Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Cervical Cancer in China (1538 project database), patients with stage Ⅰa1 （LVSI +）-Ⅰb1 cervical cancer who treated by laparoscopic or abdominal surgery were included. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) between the two surgical approaches were compared under 1∶1 propensity score matching (PSM) in different tumor diameter stratification. Results:(1) A total of 4 891 patients with stage Ⅰa1 （LVSI +）-Ⅰb1 cervical cancer who underwent laparoscopy or laparotomy from January 1, 2009 to December 31, 2016 were included in the 1538 project database. Among them, 1 926 cases in the laparoscopic group and 2 965 cases in the abdominal group. There were no difference in 5-year OS and 5-year DFS between the two groups before matching. Cox multivariate analysis suggested that laparoscopic surgery was associated with lower 5-year DFS ( HR=1.367, 95% CI: 1.105-1.690, P=0.004). After 1∶1 PSM matching, 1 864 patients were included in each group, and there was no difference in 5-year OS between the two groups （94.1% vs 95.4%, P=0.151）. While, the inferior 5-year DFS was observed in the laparoscopic group (89.0% vs 92.3%, P=0.004). And the laparoscopic surgery was associated with lower 5-year DFS ( HR=1.420, 95% CI: 1.109-1.818, P=0.006). (2) In stratification analysis of different tumor sizes, and there were no difference in 5-year OS and 5-year DFS between the laparoscopic group and abdominal group in tumor size ≤1 cm, >1-2 cm and >2-3 cm stratification (all P>0.05). Cox multivariate analysis showed that laparoscopic surgery were not related to 5-year OS and 5-year DFS ( P>0.05). In the stratification of tumor size >3-4 cm, there was no difference in 5-year OS between the two groups ( P>0.05). The 5-year DFS in the laparoscopic group was worse than that in the abdominal group (75.7% vs 85.8%, P=0.025). Cox multivariate analysis suggested that laparoscopic surgery was associated with lower 5-year DFS ( HR=1.705, 95% CI: 1.088-2.674, P=0.020). Conclusions:For patients with stage Ⅰa1 （LVSI +）-Ⅰb1 cervical cancer, laparoscopic surgery is associated with lower 5-year DFS, and the adverse effect of laparoscopic surgery on oncology prognosis is mainly reflected in patients with tumor size >3-4 cm. For patients with tumor sizes ≤1 cm, >1-2 cm and >2-3 cm, there are no difference in oncological prognosis between the two surgical approaches.
