Racemic (±)-F18 (10-chloromethyl-11-demethyl-12-oxo-calanolide A), an analog of nature product (+)-calanolide A, is a new anti-HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcript inhibitor (NNRTI). A successful enantioseparation of (±)-F18 offering (R)-F18 and (S)-F18 was achieved by a chiral stationary phase prepared HPLC. Their absolute configurations were determined by measurement of their electronic circular dichroisms combined with modem quantum-chemical calculations. Further investigation revealed that (R)-F18 and (S)-F18 shared a similar anti-HIV activities, however, (R)-F18 was more potent than (S)-F18 against wild-type virus, K101E mutation and P225H mutation pseudoviruses.

Objective Orthostatic hypotension(OH),a result of autonomic dysfunction,is an important risk factor for cognitive impairment in patients with Parkinson disease(PD). However,the direct relationship between cognitive levels and neurogenic OH in patients with PD remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the relationship between cognitive dysfunction and neurogenic OH in patients with PD,and compare the scores of various cognitive domains between patients with PD with asymptomatic OH and those with symptomatic OH. Methods We retrospectively included 79 patients with PD in the Department of Neurology,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University,including 19 with symptomatic OH,20 with asymptomatic OH,and 40 without OH. All the patients were examined for the presence or absence of OH by beat-to-beat blood pressure monitoring and the active stand test. The OH questionnaire was used to distinguish between symptomatic and asymptomatic OH. Cognitive function was assessed using a global neuropsychological scale. We used one-way analysis of variance and the Kruskal-Wallis test to determine the association between OH and cognitive dysfunction as well as the characteristics of different cognitive domains in different types of patients. Results There was a positive correlation between the years of education and the levels of cognitive function in all PD groups. Patients with symptomatic OH were more likely to develop poor delayed verbal recall at an earlier stage. Patients without OH had impairment in visual space/executive function more frequently. Conclusion Our findings provide new insights into PD with cognitive impairment that patients with symptomatic OH may be more prone to memory impairment due to the underlying pathophysiological mechanism of OH.

Objective:To compare the survival and prognostic factors of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in female patients, aged≥50 years, diagnosed with node-negative breast cancer (≤ 3 cm in size).Methods:Clinical data of eligible early breast cancer patients between 2010 and 2015 were obtained from the SEER database. Patients were divided into the IORT and PORT groups according to the radiotherapy record and propensity score matching (PSM) was subsequently conducted. Kaplan-Meier curve was used to evaluate the overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) between two groups and Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors of clinical prognosis.Results:7 068 patients were included after PSM. The median follow-up time was 32.0 months. The 5-year OS rates in the IORT and PORT groups were 96.8% and 93.8%, respectively. Univariate Cox analysis showed that radiotherapy, age, histological grade, T stage, estrogen receptor (ER) status and progesterone receptor (PR) status were the independent risk factors for OS, and histological grade, T stage, ER status, PR status and chemotherapy were the independent risk factors for BCSS. Multivariate Cox regression analysis demonstrated that patients who received IORT had better OS than PORT counterparts ( P=0.020). Besides, patients aged≥60 years obtained worse OS than those aged<60 years ( P=0.003). Patients with T 2 stage or ER-negative tumors had worse OS than those with T 1 stage tumors ( P<0.001) or ER-positive tumors ( P=0.001). Patients with grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ tumors achieved worse BCSS ( P=0.004). Subgroup analysis showed that IORT yielded better OS for elderly patients (≥60 years), grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ tumors, infiltrating duct carcinoma, T 2 stage tumors, ER-positive tumors, PR-positive tumors and patients without chemotherapy. Conclusions:IORT may bring benefit for highly selected patients with low risk of recurrence, which is not inferior to PORT in terms of short-term survival. Prospective studies with longer follow-up time are needed to confirm the findings.

Objective: To probe the incidence and risk factors for thrombosis in Chinese immune thrombocytopenia through a retrospective analysis of the inpatients referred to the Blood Disease Hospital, CAMS & PUMC. Methods: A retrospective survey of 3 225 patients with ITP from October 2005 to December 2017 was performed, the clinical data of the patients with thrombosis were collected to analyze the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis. Results: A total of 46 patients experienced a thrombotic event with a prevalence of 1.43%(46/3 225 cases) with the median age of thrombosis as 54 years (26-83) years, the prevalence of thrombosis was 3.37% (40/1 187 cases) in>40 years old, which was significantly higher than 0.58% (6/1 030 cases) in those under 40 years old, in adults (P=0.00). There were 20 males and 26 females, there was no statistical difference in the incidence of thrombosis between males and females[1.53% (20/1 309) vs 1.36% (26/1 916), P=0.187]; The prevalence of arterial thrombosis was 1.12% (36/3 225) higher than venous thrombosis[0.22% (7/3 225), P=0.00]when 82.61%(38/46 cases) of patients with PLT<100×10⁹/L. Post-splenectomy are risk factors for thrombosis in ITP patients, P values was 0.022, There was no statistical difference in the presence or absence of thrombotic events whether received glucocorticoid or TPO/TPO-Ra treatment, the P values were 0.075 and 0.531, respectively. Conclusions In Chinese population, ITP disease maybe with a higher risk of thrombosis, there was no positive correlation between thrombosis and platelet level; and had obvious age distribution characteristics. The history of tobacco, hypertension, diabetes and post-splenectomy are risk factors for thrombosis in ITP patients.

Objective: To evaluate the applicability of Chinese disseminated intravascular coagulation scoring system (CDSS) in the diagnose of DIC in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) patients. Methods: Medical records of 220 APL patients diagnosed and receiving induction therapy in Blood Disease Hospital, CAMS & PUMC from January 2004 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Each patient was evaluated by CDSS, the International Society of Thrombosis and Haemostais (ISTH) scoring system for overt DIC and Japanese Ministry of Health and Welfare (JMHW) scoring system for overt DIC, respectively. Results: A total of 220 APL patients were enrolled in the study, with a median age of 38.5 (12-70) years, 114 male and 106 female. Among them, 173 were in the low-medium risk group, 47 high-risk group; 11 patients died during induction treatment. The positive rates of DIC diagnosed by CDSS criteria, ISHT criteria, JMHW criteria was 62.27%, 54.09%, 69.09%, respectively. The consistency rate of CDSS and ISTH in diagnosing DIC was 78.10%; the consistency rate of CDSS and JMHW was 88.32%. There was significant difference in PT, APTT, FIB, D-Dimer and FDP in DIC(+) and DIC(-) group by CDSS (all P<0.05), but patients in the DIC(+) group had lower level of D-Dimer than in the DIC(-) group [21.9(1.2-477.1) mg/L vs 26.3(0.6-488.7) mg/L, χ²=1.871, P=0.002] by ISTH, and there was not significant difference in APTT by JMHW [27.05(18.0-181.0) s vs 26.15(18.2-35.5) s, χ²=1.162, P=0.134]. In this study, both of the gender and age had no difference in the DIC (+) and DIC (-) group by CDSS. Univariate analysis showed that the level of WBC and the percent of abnormal promyelocytic cells in bone marrow when diagnosed were different in DIC (+) and DIC (-) group by CDSS (P<0.05). Multiple analysis showed the level of WBC (OR=3.525, 95% CI 1.875-6.629, P<0.001) was the only independent predictor in DIC diagnosis by CDSS. Conclusion The sensitivity of diagnosing DIC by CDSS was higher than the ISTH; and the specificity was superior to JMHW. Using CDSS can help to make the DIC diagnosis and treatment in time for APL patients who with the coagulation abnormalities.

Silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog-3(Sirt3) has a close relationship with neurodegenerative diseases. As researches developing, more and more abnormal proteins have been found depositted in neuron, and these abnormal proteins could induce mitochondrion oxidative stress injury. But Sirt3 could resist abnormal protein′s oxidative stress injury by deacetylation. So Sirt3 may delay the progression of neurodegenerative diseases.

Objective To develop an appropriate comprehensive scale for mild cognitive impairment in Parkinson dis-ease(PD-MCI)due to various diagnostic methods for PD-MCI and a lack of consensus on the applicable neuropsychological scales for PD-MCI.Methods A total of 92 non-dementia PD patients with a confirmed diagnosis were enrolled in this study,and all patients were assessed using the comprehensive scale of five cognitive domains recommended by the Chinese version of PD-MCI guidelines and Movement Disorder Society(MDS).Based on the norms of healthy controls assessed by the same scale,the patients were divided into non-cognitive impairment PD group and PD-MCI group.The t-test was used to observe the consistency between groups;the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to investigate the cut-off value of each scale with the highest sensitivity and specificity in identifying the impairment in each cognitive domain of PD-MCI;a binary lo-gistic regression analysis was used to determine the specific contents of the comprehensive cognitive domain assessment scale for PD-MCI.Results This study showed that the ten-point comprehensive cognitive domain assessment scale based on long-time memory in Brief Visuospatial Memory Test,Clock Drawing Test,digit span backward test,Trail Making Test A,Verbal Flu-ency Test,Trail Making Test B,Similarities,Boston Naming Test,long-time recall memory in Auditory Verbal Learning Test,and short-time recall memory in Wechsler Memory Scale-IV Logical Memory Test had a significant diagnostic validity in predict-ing PD-MCI,with an area under the ROC curve of 0.971(95%CI 0.941?1.000).Conclusion The recommended cut-off value can be used to perform a subtype analysis of PD-MCI and observe the outcome and clinical specificity of different subtypes of PD-MCI,and therefore,it has a certain clinical significance.

Objective To establish the delimitation norm of cognitive domain assessment scales for Parkinson dis-ease(PD)in Beijing,China,and to investigate the optimal cut-off values for determining abnormal neuropsychological as-sessments.Methods A total of 33 normal middle-aged and elderly individuals in communities and 89 patients with non-dementia PD were included in this study,and all subjects underwent global cognitive function screening and cognitive do-main assessments.According to whether Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)score was greater than 25 points,the pa-tients with PD were divided into mild cognitive impairment group(PD-MCI group)and normal cognition group(PD-NC group).In order to compare the consistency between PD-related cognitive domain assessment scales and global cognitive function screening in the diagnosis of PD-MCI,different cut-off values below the appropriate norms(i.e.,1.00 standard deviation,1.28 standard deviations,1.64 standard deviations,1.96 standard deviations below the mean)were examined for sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value to obtain the optimal cut-off value.Results The delimitation norm of PD-related cognitive domain assessment scales was established for Beijing,and the re-sults showed that 1.96 standard deviations had the highest consistency in the diagnosis of PD-MCI and PD-NC,with the best sensitivity and specificity.Conclusion This study establishes the delimitation norm of PD-related cognitive domain assess-ment scales and fills the blank of the unbounded value of most domestic PD cognitive impairment assessment scales,and it also proposes the optimal cut-off value of abnormal neuropsychological assessment,which provides a reference standard for the cognitive domain assessment of PD patients in China and helps clinicians to identify cognitive decline in PD patients and adopt intervention measures in the early stage.
