Objective: To control the quality of Jinqiantonglin Oral Liquid and establish the determination of chlorogenic acid in the liquid. Methods: HPLC was used to determine the content of chlorogenic acid on ODS-2 column with a mobile phase of methanol-acetonitrile-water(10.5∶2.5∶87). pH was adjusted to 3.0 by acetic acid. UV detection wavelength was set at 325nm. Results: The linearity of chlorogenic acid standard was well and the average recovery was 100.07%, RSD was 1.47%(n=6). Conclusion: This method is convenient, quick, accurate and available for the quality control of Jinqiantonglin Oral Liquid

Objective To explore the relationship between neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and early‐stage diabetic nephropathy in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes(T2DM ). Methods A total of 160 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM were enrolled in this study and divided into two groups:early‐stage diabetic nephropathy (EDN ) group and non‐DN group (T2DM group). The clinical and biochemical data were collected. Results NLR ,neutrophia cell count ,2 hPG ,HbA1 c ,age were significantly higher in EDN group than in T2DM group[NLR (2.27 ± 0.92)vs(1.81 ± 0.56) ,neutrophia cellcount(4.35±1.47)vs(3.78±1.08)109/L,2hPG(21.98±4.30)vs(20.37±4.40)mmol/L,HbA1c (11.06±2.02)% vs (10.22 ± 1.89)% ,age(49.22 ± 12.71) vs (44.41 ± 10.81)years] (P< 0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that NLR (OR= 6.529 ,95% CI:1.946 ~ 21.873 ,P= 0.002)and 2 hPG(OR = 1.213 ,95% CI:1.002 ~ 1.467 ,P= 0.047 ) were independent risk factors for EDN.Conclusion Increased NLR is significantly associated with EDN. High NLR level may be a reliable predictive marker for EDN.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) can provides a series of security services for computer-based patient record information system. This paper discusses the application of PKI to the security of computer-based patient record information system.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of integrated traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and western medicine in treatment of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)combined with respiratory failure,TCM syndromes of spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness by comparison between the integrated therapy and simple western therapy in treatment of the disease. Methods 160 patients with AECOPD combined with respiratory failure,spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome in the intensive care units(ICU)of Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of TCM and other four hospitals were randomly allocated into two groups in this double-blinded,multicenter,prospective,randomized,controlled trial. In the control group (78 cases),western medicine and placebo were given to the patients,and in the treatment group(82 cases), conventional western medicine plus fei-shuai mistura 25 mL were administered,four times per day,the therapeutic course lasting for 2 weeks in both groups. The all-cause mortality,respiratory failure-cause mortality,improvement of modified Medical Research Council(mMRC)Dyspnea Scale grades,6 minutes walk distance(6MWD),the forced expiratory volume in 1 second/forced vital capacity(FEV1/FVC)were observed in the 28 days after the end of treatment. Results In the comparisons between the control and treatment groups,there were no statistical significant differences in the all-cause mortality〔54.87%(45/82)vs. 64.10%(50/78)〕and the cases of FEV1/FVC(both P>0.05)in the 28 days after the end of treatment;the 28 day respiratory failure-cause mortality was significantly decreased〔19.51%(16/82)vs. 33.33%(26/78),P<0.05〕,the number of patients with mMRC Dyspnea Scale grades (1-2)was obviously increased(22 cases vs. 7 cases,P<0.05),and the number of patients with 6 MWD grades (4-6)was markedly enhanced in the treatment group(21 cases vs. 8 cases,P<0.05). Conclusions The integrated TCM and western medicine has better therapeutic results in improvement of the patients' degree of dyspnea, 6 MWD and respiratory failure mortality than simple treatment with western therapy for treatment of patients with AECOPD combined with respiratory failure, spleen-kidney-yang deficiency and phlegm-dampness syndrome. However,in regard to the effect on pulmonary function and all cause mortality,the integrated therapy for treatment of such patients in short term has no significant effect.
