China Pharmacist 2017;20(3):556-558
Objective:To establish an HPLC method for the simultaneous determination of six active constituents ( ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid,ephedrine hydrochloride,protocatechuic acid,protocatechualdehyde and naringin) in Jizhi syrups. Methods:A Zorbax XDB-C18(4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm)column was used. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (A)-0.9% acetic acid (B) with gradient elution at the flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 . The detection wavelength was changed as follows:257 nm for 0-22. 0 min, 326 nm for 22. 0-30. 0 min, 320 nm for 30. 0-52. 0 min, 210 nm for 52. 0-58. 0 min and 283 nm for 58. 0-60. 0 min. The column temperature was 30 ℃ and the injection volume was 10 μl. Results:The separation of the six active constituents was good. The linear range ( r>0. 9990) was 2. 817-112. 670, 2. 342-93. 670, 0. 710-28. 415, 0. 776-31. 035, 0. 694-27. 755 and 1. 279-51. 175 ng for ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, ephedrine hydrochloride, protocatechuic acid, protocatechualdehyde and naringin, respectively. The average recover-ies varied from 99.3% to 99.8%(RSD varied from 0.18% to 0.28%). Conclusion: The method is rapid with high sensitivity, promising accuracy and good specificity, which can provide scientific basis for the quality control of Jizhi syrups.

Objective To explore the application effect of 3D printing technology applied in nursing teaching of neurosurgery.Methods A total of 76 nursing students who had internship in the neurosurgery of our hospital from July 2015 to March 2016 were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group by computer random sequence,with 38 cases in each group. Traditional PPT instruction method was applied in the control group,while 3D printing technology was applied in the teaching of intervention group,and it was used to print the 3D models of patients′ skull,intracranial tumor,encephalic blood vessel,etc. Teaching effect of two groups was observed and compared by theoretical examination,self-evaluation and mutual evaluation between nursing students and teachers,and teaching effectiveness.Results The score of theoretical knowledge in the intervention group(90.05±0.74),was higher than that in the control group(82.08±1.04)(t=6.22,P<0.01). The total score of nursing examination in the intervention group was(92.95±0.41),which was higher than that in the control group(80.05±0.87)(t=13.29,P<0.01). Mutual evaluation satisfaction of nursing students and teachers in the intervention group were 92.1% and 97.4%,and they were higher than those in the control group which were 84.2% and 81.6%(P>0.05).Conclusions The application of 3D printing technology in nursing teaching of neurosurgery can effectively improve interns′ comprehensive ability in neurosurgery theoretical knowledge,enhance students′ learning enthusiasm and initiative,and raise the general level of interns.

Strain-resource engineering is often considered as an important infrastructure of microbiology related research and industry. The western developed countries took the lead in establishing the classical microbial resource utilization method, and continuously improved the preservation system, species annotation technology and global sharing mechanism, which realized the expansion and reserve of biological resources since end of the 19th century. The rich and diversified germplasm resources, standard strains and production strains not only have important economic values, but also maintain the advantages of scientific research, bioeconomy (such as antimicrobial agents, vaccines, detection reagent development and standard development, etc.) and national security. Although there has been a lot of progress in related research in recent years, compared with developed countries, there is still a big gap in related fields in China. The investment and top-level design in this area lag far behind the western developed countries, and it is not commensurate with the current level of economic and social development in my country. Drawing lessons from the practice of WFCC and WDCM (World Data Center for Microorganisms, Global microbial data Center, affiliated to WFCC), for the purpose of collecting new clinical species/strains, this paper puts forward some suggestions on the identification, preservation and upload system of isolates.

Objective To investigate dose parameters in computed tomography (CT) scanning of common body parts inall public medical institutions in Shanghai, China, and analyze the dose distribution of CT scanning among adult subjects in Shanghai, and to provide a basis for establishing the diagnostic reference levels of CT scanning in Shanghai. Methods We selected at least one medical institution with CT services each from all 16 districts of Shanghai. In each medical institution, a piece of CT equipment with qualified annual inspection was sampled to investigate the doses to subjects in head, chest, abdomen, and lumbar spine scanning. We collected the basic information of the subjects, CT scanning parameters, volumetric CT dose index (CTDIvol), and dose length product (DLP). Results The scanning data of 1475 subjects were obtained. The 75th percentiles of the CTDIvol of the head, chest, abdomen, and lumbar spine were 57 mGy, 11 mGy, 16 mGy, and 23 mGy, respectively. The 75th percentiles of the DLP were 862 mGy·cm, 361 mGy·cm, 593 mGy·cm, and 550 mGy·cm, respectively. Conclusion CTDIvol and DLP differed significantly at different body parts, and also differed greatly at the same body parts. The DLP of men was slightly higher than that of women.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of Young's modulus obtained by real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) for liver fibrosis in autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) patients. Methods A total of 75 AIH patients in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2013 to April 2022 were retrospectively enrolled. Scheuer scoring system was used to evaluate degrees of liver fibrosis (S0-S4). By using pathological examination of liver tissues as the golden standard, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was plotted and the area under the curve (AUC) was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of SWE for the significant fibrosis (≥S2), advanced liver fibrosis (≥S3), and liver cirrhosis (S4), respectively. Independent sample t test was used for comparison of continuous data with normal distribution between the two groups. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups and Bonferroni method was used for further comparison between two groups. The Spearman correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis. The logistic regression analysis was used to predict the impact factors in diagnosis accuracy. Results The Young's modulus measured by SWE was statistically significant different among various fibrosis groups ( H =35.186, P < 0.001) although there was no statistical significance in patients' age and platelet, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, and glutamyl transpeptidase levels (all P > 0.05). The Young's modulus measurement was positively correlated with liver fibrosis ( r =0.675, P < 0.05). The AUCs of SWE in the diagnosis of≥S2, ≥S3, and S4 were 0.839, 0.820 and 0.898, respectively and the corresponding optimum cut-off values were 9.2, 10.9, and 14.4 kPa, respectively. The overall concordance rate of the liver Young' s modulus measurements vs . fibrosis stages was 57.33%. Moreover, the alkaline phosphatase level was an independent predictor for diagnostic accuracy of SWE for stage 0-1 fibrosis ( OR =1.009, 95% CI : 1.001-1.018, P =0.029). Conclusion The SWE possessed a diagnosis value for the significant fibrosis (≥S2), advanced liver fibrosis (≥S3) and liver cirrhosis (S4), although there was a low overall concordance rate in the liver Young's modulus measurements obtained using SWE vs. fibrosis stages.
