Objective:To optimize the best molding process of Jinpuju Qingrelishi Granules.Methods:Based on the single factor test, the relative density of clear ointment and the amount of diluent (dextrin∶lactose=2∶1) are used as investigating factors, and the overall evaluation of the molding rate and angle of repose overall desirability (OD) is used as the evaluation index. The effect surface method is used to optimize the best molding process of Jinpuju Qingrelishi Granules.Results:The best molding process conditions: the relative density of the clear paste is 1.20 (60 ℃) and the amount of diluent is 3 times that of the clear paste. After mixing the clear paste and diluent, make soft material, pass through a 14-mesh sieve to granulate, dry in an oven (55 ℃) for 1 hour, and sizing to obtain. The molding rates of the three batches of verification test granules were 93.73%, 93.03%, 95.59%, respectively, the predicted OD value was 0.928, the verification value was 0.936, and the deviation from the predicted value was -0.86%.Conclusion:The molding process of this experiment is stable and reliable, with good repeatability, which can provide a reference for the follow-up research of Jinpuju Qingrelishi Granules.

Objective:To investigate the pathological characteristics, treatment and prognosis of synovial sarcoma of head and neck.Methods:The clinical data of 24 patients with synovial sarcoma of the head and neck treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2012 to December 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 16 males and eight females, aged 17 to 75 years. The pathological features, treatment and follow-up were summarized. Cumulative survival was estimated by Kaplan-Meier method.Results:All patients′ diagnoses were confirmed by pathological examinations. Most cases showed the tumors were composed of spindle cells under microscope, with the characteristics of malignant tumor cells, and some tumors also showed epithelioid cell morphology, forming the typical pathological characteristics of biphasic differentiation. Except for one patient who could not tolerate surgery and the diagnosis was only confirmed by biopsy, the remaining 23 patients received surgical treatment, including three patients receiving surgical treatment alone, five patients receiving post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy, seven patients receiving post-operative adjuvant chemotherapy, and eight patients receiving post-operative adjuvant radiotherapy. Follow-up time was 3.0-114.1 months (median follow-up time: 25.2 months), including two cases of loss to follow-up, 10 cases of recurrence, five cases of lung metastases, one case of bone metastasis, and 12 cases of death. The 1-year, 3-year and 5-year survival rates for the 24 patients with synovial sarcoma of head and neck were 74.4%, 58.9% and 39.2%, respectively.Conclusion:Synovial sarcoma of the head and neck has a high recurrence rate, common distant metastasis and poor prognosis. Histopathology and immunohistochemical examinations are an important basis for diagnosis, if necessary, combined with molecular genetics. Surgical resection is the main treatment, preferring radical or expanded resection.
