To establish a method for simultaneous determination of dehydrotumulosic acid, polyporenic acid C, 3-epi-dehydrotumulosic acid, dehydropachymic acid and pachymic acid in Poria, a RP-HPLC method detected by UV wavelengths switch had been developed, including 210 nm (48-55 min) for pachymic acid and 241 nm (0-48 min) for dehydrotumulosic acid, polyporenic acid C, 3-epi-dehydrotumulosic acid, dehydropachymic acid, separately. The system consisting of a Kromasil C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) and a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.05% phosphate acid as the mobile phase was adopted; The flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1). The linear response range was 30.5-610.0 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 6) for dehydrotumulosic acid, 12.66-253.2 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 5) for polyporenic acid C, 2.99-59.7 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 7) for 3-epi-dehydrotumulosic acid, 6.13-122.5 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 5) for dehydropachymic acid and 11.3-226.0 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.9995) for pachymic acid. The average recoveries of these compounds were 98.5% (RSD = 1.9%), 99.4% (RSD = 1.7%), 97.9% (RSD = 1.2%), 96.7% (RSD = 2.5%) and 97.9% (RSD = 2.3%), respectively. The method is simple, accurate and reproducible for quality control of Poria.

Objective To observe the effect of body-weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) on the lower limb motor function of elderly hemiplegia patients with acute cerebral infarction using semi-quantitative analysis of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) through single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Methods Seven patients with cerebral infarction were given comprehensive rehabilitation therapy for 10 weeks in three stages: a baseline period of 2 weeks ( conventional rehabilitation therapy), an intervention period of 6 weeks ( conventional rehabilitation therapy plus BWSTT) and a withdrawal period of 2 weeks (conventional rehabilitation therapy). During the intervention period the exercise duration increased gradually from 15 to 30 minutes, once a day, 5 times a week,for 6 consecutive weeks. Dynamic changes in rCBF in the cortex were observed with SPECT before and after treat ment. Results During the baseline period there was no significant change in average MWS (maximum walking speed) or BBS ( Berg balance scale) scores. During the intervention period both scores improved significantly. During the withdrawal period there were some changes in MWS and BBS scores, but they were not significant. There was a significant change in average rCBF in the cortex after treatment compared with before. Conclusions BWSTT is effective for improving the walking speed and balance of elderly patients with acute cerebral infarction. There is a positive correlation between the recovery of lower limb motor function and changes in rCBF in the cortex.

Object To investigate the preparation technique and optimal formulation of Breviscapin Sustained release Pellets (BSP) and the release mechanism of breviscapin from the pellets. Methods BSP was prepared by extrusion spheronization method. Based on the studies of influential factors, optimal formulation modified to release drug over 12 h was obtained by the orthogonal design. And release mechanism of breviscapin from BSP was established by equation fitting. Results Prepared BSP has such advantages as simple technique, uniformity in diameters and high loading with even contents. They can release drug for 12 h. And the release of breviscapin could be mainly controlled by diffusion associated with slight erosion. Conclusion Extrusion spheronization method is simple for the preparation of BSP, and useful for the large scale prodution.

Objective To observe the influences of modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT)on lower-extremity walking ability and femoral artery blood flow among elderly patients with stroke. Methods Totally 67 patients with stroke were randomly divided into mCIMT group(n =35) aged ( 73.2 ± 5.2 ) years and neurodevelopmental treatment (NDT) group ( n =32) as control aged(76.4 ± 3.8) years.Patients in control group exercised by NDT 2 h/time,2 times/d,5 d/week for 6 weeks. Patients in mCIMT group exercised including: up and down exercise,100-120 times/d; movement flatbed exercise for 16-20 min/d; upstairs and downstairs exercise,balance training,standing in a single leg exercise,mandatory exercise time of lower-extremity about 4 h/d,5 d/week for 6 weeks.The patients were assessed for lower-extremities motor function using maximum walking speed (MWS),Berg balance scale (BBS),timed up to go test (TUGT) and Fugl-Meyer(FMA-L) at pre-treatment and post-treatment.The change of femoral artery blood flow velocity and lumen diameter on the affected lower limb were observed by color Doppler. Results There were no differences in the above scores,lumen diameter and blood flow velocity before treatment between the two groups (P> 0.05).After treatment,the scores of MWS (56.68 ± 6.57vs.45.61 ± 5.34),BBS(46.84 ± 4.05vs.29.84 ± 4.05),TUGT ( 14.55 ± 8.25vs.25.35 ± 8.70)were higher in mCIMT group than in NDT control group (t=15.09,17.38,15.25,all P=0.001)while no difference in FMA-L score between the two groups was found (35.24 ± 7.62 vs.31.32 ±3.28,t=19.99,P>0.05).Lumen diameter of femoral artery [(9.05±1.15) mm vs.(8.05±0.68)mm,t=6.72,P=0.001] and blood flow velocity[(92.55±18.25)cm/s vs.(69.35 8.7)cm/s,t=6.83,P=0.001] were increased in mCIMT group as compared with NDT group. Conclusions The mCIMT therapy is better in improving the lower-extremity walking function and blood flow velocity of femoral artery.

Objective:To evaluate the value of blood urea nitrogen (BUN)/creatinine (Cr) ratio for guiding the access route of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) for small intestinal bleeding.Methods:The clinical information was collected from 105 patients who underwent DBE for suspected small intestinal bleeding at Air Force Medical Center from January 2015 to October 2019. Patients were divided into the elevated BUN/Cr group ( n=52) and the normal BUN/Cr group ( n=53), with a cut-off value of 81. Comparison was made for the detection rate of lesions between the oral route and anal route separately in the two groups using Chi-square test. Results:Among the 105 patients with suspected small intestinal bleeding, definite causes of bleeding were identified in 79 patients by DBE, and the overall lesion detection rate was 75.24% (79/105). In the elevated BUN/Cr group, the overall lesion detection rate was 76.92% (40/52), among which 79.49% (31/39) was through oral and 47.37% (9/19) through anal enteroscopy. In the normal BUN/Cr group, the overall lesion detection rate was 73.58% (39/53), and 63.64% (21/33) was transoral and 51.43% (18/35) transanal. The lesion detection rate of transoral enteroscopy in the elevated group was significantly higher than that in the normal group ( χ2=6.576, P=0.010). There was no significant difference in the lesion detection rate of transanal enteroscopy between the two groups ( χ2=2.230, P=0.135). Conclusion:For patients with active small intestinal bleeding (active bleeding within 48 hours), the BUN/Cr ratio higher than 81 may indicate that DBE should be performed firstly via oral route.

Objective To compare effect of three therapies( modified constraint-induced movement therapy (mCIMT), constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) and Bobath therapies)on the recovery of motor function in upper-extremities of patients with apoplexy hemiparalysis. Methods Fifty-seven patients with apoplexy hemiparalysis were randomly divided into CIMT treatment group ( n = 19), mCIMT group (n = 19) and Bobath group (n = 19). Patients in Bobath group exercised 2 h/d, 5 d/week for 6 weeks. CIMT group and mCIMT group had restriction of movement at the unimpaired upper extremity by placing it in a sling a whole day for training using impaired extremity. Patients in CIMT treatment group exercised 6 h/d,5 days a week for 2 weeks in a row; mCIMT treatment group exercised for 1 h/d, 3 days a week, and also exercised in daily life at least 2 hours every day, for ten consecutive weeks. The patients in all three groups were assessed for upper-extremities motor function using FMA of Fugl-Meyer, for recovery of upperextremities motor speed using STEF and for recovery of daily ability at respective time-points of pre-treatment and the second week, sixth week and tenth week of post-treatment. Results In 3 assessments in the 3 groups there was no obvious change before treatment, while the FMA score was 45. 2 ± 5.1 (F = 1. 107 ,P =0. 382), BI score was 63. 1 ± 10. 3 ( F = 0. 930, P = 0. 401 ), STEF score was 63.4 ± 8.6 ( F = 1. 843, P =0. 168). At the second week, sixth week and tenth week of the treatment, the difference of assessment in the three groups was significant. The improvement in CIMT group was better after 2 weeks treatment compared with Bobath and mCIMT group, while the Bobath group showed better results than mCIMT group did after 6 weeks treatment. After 10 weeks treatment, the FMA, STEF in mCIMT and CIMT groups were improved better than Bobath group, while the BI score in mCIMT group was better than that in Bobath and CIMT group. Conclusions The mCIMT and CIMT therapy are better in improving the upper limb function in stroke patients compared with Bobath, while the mCIMT therapy is more effective in improving the abilities of daily life in stroke patients compared with the other two treatments.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) in the treatment of bleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion and risk factors of bleeding recurrence .Methods:From April 2013 to May 2020, at Air Force Medical Center, the clinical data of 65 patients with confirmed or suspected bleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into DBE treatment group (patients of Yano classification 1a and 1b received argon plasma coagulation, and patients of Yano classification 2 and 3 accepted combination of titanium clip and submucosal injection of lauromacrogol sclerosing agent) and non-DBE treatment group (traditional treatments such as stopping anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs, blood transfusion, and iron supplementation). The bleeding recurrence of patients with single small intestinal vascular lesion between DBE treatment group and non-DBE treatment group, and patients with single or mulitiple vascular lesion of DBE treatment group were compared. Univariate analysis was used to analyze the clinical data of patients with or without recurrent bleeding. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the independent risk factors and protective factors of recurrent bleeding in small intestinal vascular lesion. Independent sample t test, chi-square test and Fisher exact probability method were used for statistical analysis. Results:Forty-four (25 of single vascular lesion and 19 of multiple vascular lesion) patients were diagnosed with small intestinal vascular lesions and received DBE treatment (DBE treatment group). Twenty-one patients with single vascular lesion accepted traditional treatment (non-DBE treatment group). The recurrent rate of bleeding in patients with single vascular lesion of DBE treatment group was lower than that in patients with single vascular lesion of non-DBE treatment group and patients with multiple vascular lesion of DBE treatment group (24.0%, 6/25 vs. 71.4%, 15/21 and 12/19), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=10.348 and 6.848, P=0.001 and 0.009). The results of univariate analysis showed that the proportion of blood transfusion, hypertension, complicated with valvular heart disease and DBE treatment in patients with rebleeding or not rebleeding from small intestinal vascular lesion was different with statistically significant (69.7%(23/33) vs. 37.5%(12/32), 51.5%(17/33) vs. 18.8%(6/32), 42.4%(14/33) vs. 12.5%(4/32) and 54.5%(18/33) vs. 81.2%(26/32), χ2=6.777, 7.628, 7.265, and 5.298, all P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that blood transfusion during the course of disease (odds ratien ( OR)=3.736, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 1.082 to 12.898, P=0.037) and complication with valvular heart disease ( OR=4.916, 95% CI 1.107 to 21.829, P=0.036) were independent risk factors of bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesions. DBE treatment was the protective factor of bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesion ( OR=0.214, 95% CI 0.057 to 0.808, P=0.023). Conclusions:DBE is effective in the treatment of small intestinal vascular lesion bleeding, especially for single vascular lesion. Blood transfusion during disease course and complication with valvular heart disease are independent risk factors for bleeding recurrence in patients with small intestinal vascular lesion.
