This study was aimed to distinguish Leonurus japonicus samples produced from different regions and growth environments in Sichuan by electronic nose. The sensor response value of odors of Leonurus japonicus sam-ples were obtained through electronic nose. Principal component analysis (PCA) and discriminant factor analysis (DFA) were used to combine the optimum feature parameters. The results showed that the PCA distinguish index was 82, and the DFA comprehensive classification rate was 97.96% among samples from different regions. The PCA distin-guish index was 84, and the DFA comprehensive classification rate was 100% among samples from different growth environments. The distinguishment and differentiation were effective. It was concluded that electronic nose can be ap-plied to identify the origin and growth environment of Leonurus japonicus from Sichuan to provided reference for odor differentiation.

Objective To explore whether the PDA patients in the early stage of Eisenmenger syndrome can accept interventional surgery. Methods Three patients were choose from the “National Multicenter Prospective Registration Study on Pulmonary Artery Hypertension”, Clinical assessment, as well as examinations and registrations associated with PAH, was conducted in accordance with relevant provisions of the registration study within 1 wk prior to surgery. The way of the interventional treatment were right heart catheterization and pulmonary vasodilator testing (a capsule of iloprost solution for inhalation), and measurement of the pulmonary arterial pressure, descending aortic pressure, ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood flow, ratio of pulmonary to systemic blood pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure [mean≤15 mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)], before and after testing. After clear the results of pulmonary vasodilator test all patients underwent transcatheter closure testing, if it was positive,the amplatzer was released if her family members’ approved;Conversely, the amplatzer was quickly withdrawn with negative results, and symptomatic treatment was conducted based on the patient’s clinical symptoms. Results The first cases pulmonary vasodilator test was negative, but positive in transcatheter closure testing. Satisfaction immediate effect of surgery, and the occluder was released with her family members’ approval. patients of Example 2 and Example 3 were negative in pulmonary vasodilator testing and transcatheter closure testing, can not released the occluder. Conclusions Some Patents Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) patients in early stage of Eisenmenger syndrome is feasible to accept interventional therapy , try plugging test is may be an important indicator of prognostic assessment.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of the simultaneous measurement of right ventricular pressure-volume loops by cardiac catheterization and 2D electrocardiogram. Methods Patients referred for pulmonary hypertension underwent right heart catheterization in our hospital between June 1st, 2015 and June 1st, 2017 are to be enrolled in this study. The right ventricular volume was measured simultaneously by catheter and electrocardiogram. The pressure-volume loops were constructed by the parameters of the pressure and volume in the same cardiac cycle. Results The study completed in four cases and their pressure-volume loops were drawn. The obtained images were irregular and there was no relationship among them. As a result, the construction was a failure. Conclusions The construction of the right ventricular pressure-volume loops of pulmonary hypertension patients by simultaneous catheterization and 2D electrocardiogram is difficult to overcome the technology defects.

Methods: Relevant literature on the effects of physical activity on neurocognitive function in children with ASD were searched in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Web of Science, and EBSCO databases from their inception to March 2024 using specific subject terms. Information on authors, countries, publication dates, study populations, diagnostic criterion, interventions, measurement tools and study results were extracted postscreening. The methodological quality of the articles was assessed using the PEDro Scale, followed by a systematic review. Results: A total of seventeen articles and were included in the study and English literature, most of them were of good quality. The study included 10 randomized controlled trials, 4 quasiexperimental designs, and 3 preand posttest designs. The rehabilitative effects of physical activity on children with ASD were primarily observed in enhanced attention and executive function, as well as improvements in brain structure and function. Children with ASD showed varying cognitive effects in physical and skillbased programs, with skillbased activities like basketball and table tennis notably improving cognitive function. Conclusion Physical activity is an effective intervention that enhances cognitive abilities such as attention and executive function, as well as brain structure and function in children with ASD.

OBJECTIVETo study the function of zinc in preventing human sperm from being damaged by sodium nitroprusside (SNP), an external NO donor.

METHODSAnalyses were made of the function of zinc in protecting sperm from being influenced by SNP in such aspects as sperm motility, head-tail connection and the breakage of sperm DNA chain by using phase-contrast microscope and single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE).

RESULTSSperm motility was obviously inhibited by SNP. The percentage of comet cells increased significantly but the stability of sperm head-tail connection decreased. Zinc could promote sperm motility, protect the DNA chain and prevent the sperm head-tail connection from breaking.

CONCLUSIONZinc can protect sperm from being damaged by NO. Its mechanism may be related to the mercaptol group of sperm chromatin.
