Objective To explore the value of temporary cardiac pacemaker therapy on children with Adam-Stoke syndrome(ASS).Methods Nine children with ASS was implanted the emporary cardiac pacemaker under X-ray or blinding inserted beside bed.Results Seven children was successfully implanted the temporary cardiac pacemaker within 1-2 d of ASS attack,and two children was successfully implanted at 10 d and 20 d after ASS attack, respectively. Five patients was cured, two children was died, and two children was implanted the permanent cardiac pacemaker. During pacing, two patients had the electrode shifted,and one patient had the cardiac murmur,and one patient had the local skin infected.Conclusion Temporary cardiac pacemaker can successfully treat children with ASS attack;the earlier the implantation,the better the prognosis.

Objective To explore the prognosis and etiological treatment of cardiogenic syncope in children.Methods The cause,clinical manifestation,treatment and prognosis of 45 children with syncope were made in affiliated hospital of Qingdao medical university were su mmarized and analyzed.They were divided into arhythmia group and other groups,the former included myocarditis,dilated cardiomyopathy,and post-operation of congenital heart disease and the latter included tetralogy of fallot,pulmonary stenosis,hypertrophic cardiomyopathy,pericarclial effusion,and right atrial myxoma.Results There were 29 cases(64.44%) with arrhythmia in this group,of which there were 18 cases with complete atrioventricular block(CAVB),2 cases with second degree type Ⅱ atrioventricular block,3 cases with ventricular tachycardia,2 cases with bradycardia,2 cases with atrial flutter,1 case with supraventricular tachycardia,and 1 case with nonconducting atrial premature.There were 16 cases(35.56%) with other etiologies,of which there 8 cases with tetralogy of Fallot,2 cases with pulmonary stenosis,hypertrop-hic cardiomyopathy,pericardial effusion,and right atrial myxoma,respectively.Children with CAVB,bradycardia,or ventricular tachycardia resulted from viral myocarditis were given anti-virus medicine,protecting myocardium,neoepinephrine,and intravenous vitamin C 100-200 mg/(kg?d).Dexamethasone 1-2 mg/(kg?d) was given in earlier period for short course,and some children were given human ?-globulin.Eight cases were placed temporary pacemaker because of unsatisfactory therapeutic efficacy,and 1 case was placed permanent pacemaker.In all,38 cases(84.44%)were cured,1 case(2.22%)was improved,and 4 cases(8.88%) died.Conclusions Cardiogenic syncope is pediatric emergency and shall be treated immediately.Temporary pacemaker shall be placed at the right moment.

OBJECTIVETo develop a general quality of life (QOL) instrument for Chinese in accordance with the Chinese culture and to assess its reliability, validity and sensitivity.

METHODSA 35-item QOL questionnaire(QOL-35) was developed with reference to the World Health Organization QOL questionnaire(WHO-100) and the 36-item medical outcomes study on short-form health status(SF-36). Thirty five items were divided into six domains (general, physical, independent, psychological, social, environment) and one item on QOL transition. The reliability of QOL-35 was assessed by a test-retest survey among 127 adults with an interval of 24-72 hours. The internal consistency and validity were evaluated by a survey on 135 adults from outpatients or general population, using QOL-35, WHO-100 and SF-36. The adaptability was assessed by application to 1356 community-based samples in Beijing.

RESULTS(1)Test-retest reliability of QOL-35: weighted Kappa indexes for items were from 0.86 to 1.00. Intraclass correlation coefficients were from 0.68 to 0.94 for domains, and 0.94 for total score. (2) On internal consistency: Cronbach's Alphas were 0.93, 0.97 and 0.89 for QO1-35, WHO-100 and SF-36. (3)On construct validity. The accumulated proportions of variances of the preceding seven factors were 66.5%, 50.3% and 65.3% for QOL-35, WHO-100 and SF-36. (4) On criterion validity. Spearman correlation coefficients of total QOL score of QOL-35 with those of WHO-100 and SF-36 were 0.805 and 0.745. (5)The rates of chronic diseases were 53.1%, 33.1%, 26.4% and 25.1% from first to fourth quantile of the total QOL scores of QOL-35(P<0.05). (6)Cronbach's Alpha was from 0.68 to 0.93 in 135 subjects, and from 0.71 to 0.91 in 1356 individuals of natural population.

CONCLUSIONThe QOL-35 instrument satisfied test-retest reliability and was highly correlated with WHO-100 and SF-36, having fewer items but better construction validity, better internal consistency, and better discrimination ability. We suggested that QOL-35 be used as a replicable tool to assess quality of life in the Chinese general population.

OBJECTIVE: To explore and verify the genes related to female peak bone mass(PBM) and osteoporosis (OP) based on bioinformatics. METHODS: Using GEO data, DNA microarray technology to conduct genome-wide analysis of adult female monocytes with high and low PBM. Cluster analysis, GO enrichment and KEGG analysis were used to analyze the differential genes, and the interaction network of differential genes was further analyzed. OP rat model was established and femur neck tissue staining was performed to further verify the expression of differential genes. RESULTS: A total of 283 genes were obtained by differential gene screening. Compared with the high PBM samples, 135 genes were up-regulated and 148 genes were down-regulated in the low PBM samples. A total of 7 pathways and 12 differential genes were enriched, and there were differences in the expression of several genes involved in mineral absorption and transport, cellular immunity and other aspects. Among them, voltage-gated Ca²⁺ channel 1.3(CaV1.3) encoded by CACNA1D gene was significantly enhanced in the femoral neck tissue of OP rat model. CONCLUSION The above results suggest that the difference in the expression level of CaV1.3 gene may lead to the occurrence of OP in women with low PBM, which provides us with a potential target for the prevention and treatment of OP.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi provided is beneficial to Salvia miltiorrhiza for increasing yield, promoting the accumulation of active ingredients, and alleviating S. miltiorrhiza disease etc. However, the application of fungicides will affect the benefit of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and there is little research about it. This article study the effect of four different fungicides: carbendazim, polyoxin, methyl mopazine, and mancozeb on mycorrhiza benefit to S. miltiorrhiza by the infection intensity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, the growth of S. miltiorrhiza, and the content of active ingredients. RESULTS:: showed that different fungicides had different effects. The application of mancozeb had the strongest inhibitory effect on the mycorrhizal benefit to S. miltiorrhiza. Mancozeb significantly reduced the mycorrhizal colonization and the beneficial effect of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on the growth and the accumulation of active components of S. miltiorrhiza. The application of polyoxin had no significant effect on mycorrhizal colonization. Instead, it had a synergistic effect with the mycorrhizal benefit to promoting the growth and accumulation of rosmarinic acid of S. miltiorrhiza. The inhibitory strengths of four fungicides are: mancozeb>thiophanate methyl, carbendazim>polyoxin. Therefore, we recommend applying biological fungicides polyoxin and avoid applying chemical fungicides mancozeb for disease control during mycorrhizal cultivation of S. miltiorrhiza.

Intestinal Peyer's patches （PPs） are local immune tissues of the intestine， which are considered to be the main induction site of the intestinal mucosal immune response， and closely related to immune-related refractory enteropathies， such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. In recent years， more and more scholars have tried to find a new breakthrough for treating refractory enteropathies with a limited efficacy of clinical interventions through in-depth study of the relationship between PPs and enteropathy. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） polysaccharides are considered to be a key component for immune regulation with TCM. Modern studies show that TCM polysaccharides have a significant positive intervention effect on the structure and function of PPs， with good development prospects. Based on this， this paper focuses on PPs and intestinal-related diseases， and systematically introduces the physiological structure of PPs and their drug delivery mechanism， and summarizes the interactions of PPs with effect on immune-related enteropathies， analyze of current studies and prospects of effect of TCM polysaccharides in intervening intestinal disease and its dysfunction by regulating PPs， with the aim to provide new strategies for basic studies and clinical treatment of immune-related refractory enteropathies from the perspective of PPs， and new ideas for basic studies and clinical studies on effect of TCM polysaccharides in intervening enteropathies.

By comparing the effects of soil pH on the efficiency of mycorrhizal symbiosis on Salvia miltiorrhiza， the study is aimed to provide guidance for the use of mycorrhiza in the cultivation of S. miltiorrhiza. In this experiment, the inoculant treated and the non-inoculant treated control were grown in different soil pH. The data was collected after 60 days of cultivation including rate of mycorrhizal infection, biomass, and three chemical constituents with known medicinal action. The results showed that Glomus versiforme was more apt to infect S. miltiorrhiza (F>94.00%; M>69.45%; m>73.66%) and promote the growth of S. miltiorrhiza under pH 5-9 soil. The mycorrhizal contribution to the growth of S. miltiorrhiza was the highest when grown in pH 8 soil. Plants grown with mycorrhiza in pH 8 soil had above-ground biomass more than 2 times and root biomass more than 5 times. The uninoculated plants grew better under acidic and neutral conditions, but the inoculated plants grew better under alkaline (pH 8) conditions. This result showed mycorrhiza can play a role in the adaptability of S. miltiorrhiza to the environment. Inoculation of mycorrhiza significantly increased the accumulation of rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acid B, and dihydrotanshinone by 6.59,5.03 and 2.20-folds. Based on our results alkaline soil (pH 8) is most suitable for the cultivation of S. miltiorrhiza by inoculation with the mycorrhiza G. versiforme.

Fingerprints of 18 batches of substance benchmark of Shentong Zhuyu Decoction(SZD) were established by UPLC under the following conditions: Waters Sun Fire C_(18) column(3.0 mm×150 mm, 3.5 μm), column temperature of 35 ℃, gradient elution with mobile phase of acetonitrile(A)-0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution(B) at the flow rate of 0.4 mL·min~(-1), and detection by wavelength switching. A total of 16 common peaks were identified. The similarities among the fingerprints were calculated by Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine(2012 Edition) and the result showed they were in the range of 0.911-0.988. Based on the 16 common peaks, cluster analysis(CA), principal component analysis(PCA), and partial least square discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) all categorized the 18 batches of samples into two groups(S1, S2, S5-S8, S14, and S17 in one group, and S1, S2, S5-S8, S14, and S17 in another), and 11 most influential components were screened. Five known components with great difference among samples(hydroxysafflor yellow A, ferulic acid, benzoic acid, ecdysone, and ammonium glycyrrhizinate) were determined. The combination of multi-component content determination and fingerprints can reflect the overall cha-racteristics of the primary standards of SZD, which is simple, feasible, reproducible, and stable. This study can serve as a reference for the quality control of the primary standards of SZD.
