The object of this study is to preparate the berberine hydrochloride (BBH) resin compound with taste masking effect. We took the BBH as the model drug and Amberlite IRP69 as the drug carriers, uncovered the curve of solubility of BBH in different cosolvent with a certain range of temperature, and then used it to calculate the parameters during the preparation of the complex such as adding quantity of BBH and the reaction temperature. Afterwards, the characteristic and in vitro release experiments were studied to verify the formation and predict the in vivo release behavior of the complex. The results showed that in the condition of using 60% ethanol as a cosolvent and stirring at 50 ℃ for 1 h, the drug loading and drug availability of the complex are at about 35% and 64%, respectively, and has a better taste-masking effect. In this study, a method was provided for preparing a taste-masking preparation of BBH.

Objective To compare the effects of different doses of amino acids and fat emulsions in parenteral nutrition on the incidence of complications and prognosis in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI). Methods The clinical data of 328 VLBWI who received nutrition support therapy for at least 5 days starting in 72 h after birth during January 2005 to December 2014 , were retrospectively analyzed. According to the dosage in parenteral nutrition, patients were divided into low-dose group and high-dose group. The incidence of complications and prognosis between two groups were compared. Results There were 204 cases in low-dose group and 124 cases in high-dose group. Compared with the low-dose group, the incidence of complications was lower in high-dose group during hospitalization and the incidence of intracranial hemorrhage was reduced most;the incidence of developmental retardation was lower at discharge;the overall incidence of metabolic complications of parenteral nutrition was higher, among which the incidence of high blood glucose, electrolyte disturbance and cholestasis were increased and the incidence of hypoglycemia was lower, and the differences were all statistically signiifcant (P??0 . 05 ). Conclutsions VLBWI can tolerate early aggressive parenteral nutrition which can reduce the incidence of extrauterine growth retardation and premature complications.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression change of stem cell-derived neural stem/progenitor cell supporting factor (SDNSF) gene in the injuried spinal cord tissues of rats, and the relation between the expressions of SDNSF and nestin.

METHODSThe spinal cord contusion model of rat was established according to Allen's falling strike method. The expression of SDNSF was studied by RT-PCR and in situ hybridization (ISH), and the expression of nestin was detected by immunochemistry.

RESULTSRT-PCR revealed that SDNSF mRNA was upregulated on day 4 after injury, peaked on day 8-12, and decreased to the sham operation level on day 16. ISH revealed that SDNSF mRNA was mainly expressed in the gray matter cells, probably neurons, of spinal cord. The immunohistochemistry showed that accompanied with SDNSF mRNA upregulation, the nestin-positive cells showed erupted roots, migrated peripherad and proliferation on the 8-day slice. However, the distribution pattern of these new cells was different from that of SDNSF-positive cells.

CONCLUSION(1) SDNSF is expressed in the gray matter of spinal cord. The expression of SDNSF mRNA in the spinal cord varies with injured time. (2) The nestin-positive cells proliferate accompanied with spinal cord injury repair, but do not secrete SDNSF.

Using a H₂O₂-induced BRL cell senescence model, we investigated the anti-aging effects of drug-containing serums of Erzhi Wan (EZW) and various polar extracts (petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, n-butanol, water, and iridoid glycoside-enriched fractions). Cell viability was detected by MTT assay. Cell senescence was evaluated with β-galactosidase staining assay. Intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured by flow cytometry. UFLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS was used to identify chemical components in EZW and the extracts, and molecular docking technology was used to predict the anti-aging components of EZW. Results showed that treatment of cells with 600 μmol·L^-1 H₂O₂ for 72 h markedly induced cell senescence, inhibited cell proliferation and increased intracellular β-galactosidase activity and ROS levels. If cells were pretreated with drug-containing serum of EZW this induction of senescence was decreased. A total of 49 chemical compounds were identified in EZW by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, 14 of these were identified by molecular docking as potential active ingredients. Based on these analyses, and the in vitro experiments with polar extracts, we conclude that the anti-aging components of EZW are triterpenes, flavonoids and phenyl alcohols, providing a basis for further elucidation of the active agents and mechanism of the anti-aging effect of EZW.

OBJECTIVETo study which classification model was most suitable for establishing a multi-tumor markers lung cancer prediction model, through established logistic regression model, decision trees model and artificial neural network model.

METHODSRIA analysis, ELISA, spectrophotometry, high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and atomic absorption spectrometry were used to measure the serum CEA, CA125, gastrin, NSE, beta2-MG, Sil-6 receptors, sialic acid, nitric oxide, Cu, Zn, Ca and the pseudo-urine nucleoside of urine samples in lung cancer patients, benign lung disease patients and healthy controls. The lung cancer diagnosis models were established by logistic regression analysis, decision tree analysis and artificial neural network training.

RESULTSThe diagnosis sensitivities of the logistic regression analysis, decision tree analysis and artificial neural network model with 12 tumor markers in lung cancer were 94.00%, 100.00% and 100.00%; the specificity were 100.00%, 98.89% and 100.00%; the total accurate 94.29%, 95.00% and 90.00%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe results of three classification models with 12 tumor markers in diagnosis of lung cancer are ideal. Especially the C5.0 decision tree model and the artificial neural network model are more suitable for the prediction and diagnosis of the lung cancer.

Traditional processes are mostly adopted in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preparation production and the quality of products is mostly controlled by terminal. Potential problems of the production in the process are unpredictable and is relied on experience in most cases. Therefore, it is hard to find the key points affecting the preparation process and quality control. A pattern of research and development of traditional Chinese medicine preparation process based on the idea of Quality by Design (QbD) was proposed after introducing the latest research achievement. Basic theories of micromeritics and rheology were used to characterize the physical property of TCM raw material. TCM preparation process was designed in a more scientific and rational way by studying the correlation among enhancing physical property of raw material, preparation process and product quality of preparation. So factors affecting the quality of TCM production would be found out and problems that might occur in the pilot process could be predicted. It would be a foundation for the R&D and production of TCM preparation as well as support for the "process control" of TCMIs gradually realized in the future.
