Circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, as the vital part of the TCM industrial chain, plays an important role in the connection of agriculture link and industry link of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, which has influence on the healthy development of the whole TCM industrial chain. Because circulation activities mainly include exchange and storage activities instead of manufacturing real products, they are much more difficult to be managed compared with producing activity. This would lead to problems in circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, and impose negative effects on TCM industry. Based on scale economy theory, information asymmetry theory and cobweb model theory, this article analyzed the problems in circulation of traditional Chinese medicinal materials, discussed the deep reasons behind these problems, and proposed relevant suggestions for optimization.

Objective To search for chemical constituents with anti-oxidative activity from seeds of Jatropha curcas.Methods DPPH radical scavenging assay was used to screen fractions or constituents with anti-oxidative activities.Active fractions were separated by varied chromatography and then identified on the basis of physiochemical properties and spectroscopic methods.Results The n-butanol layer of ethanol extract from the seeds of J.curcas showed stronger activity than other fractions and was studied further.A new compound was isolated from this active layer, and its structure was identified as jatrophasin A (3,4,4',5'-tetrahydroxyl-3'-methoxyl-bisepoxylignan, 1).It showed stronger anti-oxidative activity compared with resveratrol.Conclusion Compound 1 is a new compound which has never been reported with strong anti-oxidative activity.

Objective To evaluate the prospective electrocardiograph (ECG)-gated 128-slice spiral CT angiography in the diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease and airway abnormality in children.Methods Eighty children with congenital heart disease received prospective (n =40) or retrospective ECG-gated 128-slice spiral CT angiography (n =40).All of the patients underwent ultrasound cardiogram (UCG) within one week before CTA exmination.The image quality and the effective radiation dose were statistically analyzed using independent samples t test and x2 test.The surgical results were taken as the diagnostic standards,and the preoperative prospective and retrospective CT angiography data were compared with UCG results using x2 test.Results The effective dose of prospective ECG-gated CT angiography[(1.00 ± 0.26)mSv] was reduced by 86％ as compared with the retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography[(7.37 ± 0.52) mSv] (t =69.296,P ＜ 0.01).Image quality was graded 0 in none patients,graded 1 in 2 patients who underwent prospective ECG-gated CT angiography,graded 2 in 8 and 1 patient who received prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography respectively,and graded 3 in 30 and 39 patients who underwent prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography,respectively.There was no significant difference in image quality between prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography (x2 =0.044,P ＞ 0.05).The definitive diagnosis of extracardiac vascular anomalies was made in 98.3％(59/60) of patients by using prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography,which were significantly superior to UCG results[(76.7％ (46/60),76.7％ (45/59),respectively] (x2 =13.144,12.644,P ＜ 0.01),and there was no significant difference in the definitive diagnosis between prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography (x2 =0.001,P ＞ 0.05).The definitive diagnosis of the cardiac/large-vessel malformations was made in 100％ of the patients by both prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography,and there was no significant difference between 128-slice spiral CT angiography results and UCG results [97.2％ (35/36),97.3％ (36/37),respectively] (x2 =1.014,0.001,P ＞0.05).In the cardiac malformations,the definitive diagnosis by prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography was 88.7 ％ (47/53) and 92.5 ％ (49/53),and there was no significant difference between 128-slice spiral CT angiography results and UCG results [98.1％ (52/53),98.1％ (52/53),respectively](x2 =3.824,1.889,P ＞ 0.05),and no significant difference in the definitive diagnosis was observed between prospective and retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography (x2 =0.442,P ＞ 0.05).In addition,the 128-slice spiral CT angiography detected airway abnormality in 9 cases who underwent prospective or retrospective ECG-gated CT angiography.Conclusion The prospective ECG-gated 128-slice spiral CT angiography exhibits great application value in the preoperative diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease,which helps to develop surgical program and evaluate surgical risks.

AIM: To study the effect of chronic hypoxic hypercapnia on gene expression of thromboxane synthase and prostacyclin synthase in pulmonary arterioles. METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: control group and hypoxic hypercapnic group. TXS mRNA and PGI 2-S mRNA were observed in pulmonary arterioles by in situ hybridization. RESULTS:mPAP, weight ratio of right ventricle (RV) to left ventricle plus septum(LV+S), contents of TXB 2 and 6-keto-PGF1 ? in plasma and lung and TXS mRNA in pulmonary arterioles were much higher in rats of hypoxic hypercapnic group than those of control group. Differences of PGI 2-S mRNA in pulmonary arterioles were not significant in two groups. Light microscopy showed hypertrophy of vessel smooth muscle cells and vessel cavity straitness were found in hypoxic hypercapnic group. CONCLUSION: Changes of gene expressions of thromboxane synthase and prostacyclin synthase and imbalance of TXA 2/PGI 2 may play an important role in hypoxic hypercapnic pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To explore the association between acute ischemic stroke and albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR).Methods A case-control study.During January to December in 2013, 127 acute ischemic stroke patients as case group and 150 controls who were similar with case group in age and gender were recruited in Tianjin Union Medicine Center . According to diabetes , hypertension , cardiovascular diseases and patients without these three diseases , case group was divided into A1, B1, C1 and D1 subgroups, control group was divided into A2, B2, C2 and D2 subgroups in the same way.The first morning urine from participants were collected .Urinary albumin concentration was tested by nephelometry , urinary creatinine was examined by using enzymic method , ACR were calculated(≥30 mg/g as the cutoff value). Then difference of ACR between case and control group was compared , the cutoff value of albuminuria for ischemic stroke patients was analyzed by ROC , and the risk factor of ischemic stroke were analyzed by logistic regression analysis.Results The prevalence of albuminuria in ischemic stroke patients was 38.58%(49).According to analysis of covariance, after adjustment for age, gender, cardiac-disease, diabetes, hypertension, lnACR in case group was significantly higher than control group (3.18 mg/g vs 2.78 mg/g, t=2.13 P=0.03), especially D1 was significantly higher than D2 subgroup (3.01 mg/g vs 2.51 mg/g,t=5.56,P=0.009) .If 19.82 mg/g from ROC analysis was used as the cut-off value, the sensitivity and specificity are 68.5% and 61.7%.The odds ratio ( OR ) of ACR >19.82 mg/g was about 2-fold when compared with ACR<19.82 mg/g adjusted for stroke risk factors , and the OR value is 2.43 in comparison of patients without diabetes , hypertension and cardiovascular diseases .Conclusions Urinary albumin excretion is the independent risk factor of ischemic stroke .The increased urinary albumin has important clinical significance to predict the risk of ischemic stroke for the patients without diabetes , hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
