Object To study the causes for the occurrence of red skin and dark green skin of Panax quinquefolius L. during processing and its mechanism. Methods To observe the phenomena and analyze the result which simulated the processing condition of P. quinquefolius based on its components. Results The cross section of P. quinquefolius began to appear light red at 40 ℃, lasting 72 h. Whereas the time of browning was shortened with the temperature rising. The cross section of P. quinquefolius turned green while dipping in solution of Fe 3+ ion of 0 01 mol/L for 25 min. The time of turning green was shortened with the increasing concentration of Fe 2+ , Fe 3+ solution. Conclusion The results show that red skin of P. quinquefolius was caused by the Maillard reaction while drying at the excessive higher temperature. Whereas the complex reaction between phenolic substances in P. quinquefolius and metal ions during processing might result in dark green skin of P. quinquefolius. This expounds the mechanism of red skin and dark green skin turning during the P. quinquefolius processing in the theory.

Objective:? N oxalo L ?,? diaminopropionic acid were isolated from the powder of red ginseng. its physiological characteristics were studied. Method:This material is obtained by CM Sephadex C 25 and FPLC MonoQ. We have examined the effect of ? N oxalo L ?,? diaminopropionic acid on contraction of artery of guinea pig. Result:When histamin and adrenalin do not exist, there is neither contraction nor relaxation. It can strengthen induction of contraction of artery of guinea pig, but it has no such effect on adrenalin. Besides, it doesn't induce plaque coagulation through adrenalin, ADP blood coagulation enzyme and collagen. It doesn't suppress the transformation from tension peptide of blood vessel to enzyme.Conclusion:Hemostatic effect of ? N oxalo L ?,? dlaminopropinomie acid may caused by vesseles contraction through promoting Histamine.

Objective Sarcopenia and metabolic syndrome share similar pathophysiological mechanisms. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sarcopenia among health examination population, and to analyze the relationship between sar-copenia and blood pressure, blood glucose, uric acid and lipids. Methods Physical examination data of 1191 healthy persons in the medical examination center of the hospital from Mar 2011 to Jun 2011 were collected. The weight, skeletal muscle, body fat, body mass index ( BMI) , waist circumference,body fat percentage, waist-hip ratio and visceral fat area were analyzed by human body compositionanalyzer and the prevalence of sarcopenia was observed. At the same time, triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipo-protein-cholesterol ( HDL-C ) , low density lipoprotein-cholesterol ( LDL-C) , uric acid and fasting blood glucose were also detected. Results The prevalence rate of sarcopenia of the subjects was 5.21%, and the highest incidence was found in ≥60 years group( 11.11%) . The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity were 33.8% and 10.2%, respectively. The prevalence of sarcopenia is grad-ually higher along with increasing BMI. The prevalence rates of sarcopenia of overweight and obesity subjects were 5.47% and 26.23%, respectively. Compared with the normal control group, the level of weight[(66.34±11.75)kg vs (76.71±12.84)kg ], BMI[(23.37± 3.13) vs (28.05±3.66)], body fat percentage[(25.33±6.06)% vs (36.76±4.47)%], waist circumference[(83.19±9.56)cm vs (95.45±13.74)cm] and visceral fat area[(88.96±29.74)cm2 vs (136.91±25.56)cm2] were higher in the sarcopenia group (P<0.05). Compared with the normal control group, the incidence of systolic blood pressure[(125.59±30.04)mmHg vs (139.39±19.79) mmHg], diastolic blood pressure[(75.82±11.95)mmHg vs (82.34±10.96)mmHg ] TG[(1.56±1.12)mmol/L vs (1.98±1.72)mmol/L] and uric acid[(313.75±83.07)mmol/L vs (335.55±96.07)mmol/L] were higher in the sarcopenia group (P<0.05). Compared with the normal subjects, the detectable rates of abnormal diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, uric acid, and LDL-C were increased in the sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenia combined with obesity subjects (P<0.05). The odds ratio of abnormal systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, uric acid, and LDL-C increased in the sarcopenia, obesity and sarcopenia combined with obe-sity subjects using logistic regression analyses after correction of gender and age. Conclusion The sarcopenia may have some con-nection with metabolic risk factors. Early detection of sarcopenia can help to distinguish people predisposed to metabolic syndrome, and it has important significance for prevention of chronic disease.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of Omniview combined with volume contrast imaging (VCI) in measuring the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle.Methods:Fifty fetuses whose lateral ventricles were widened, corpus callosum was poorly developed, and who had hydrocephalus as indicated by routine ultrasonography performed between October 1, 2018 and December 31, 2019 in Hangzhou Obstetrics & Gynecology Hospital were included in this study. The width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle was measured using routine ultrasonography, Omniview-VCI technique, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in each fetus and compared among the three techniques.Results:The width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle measured by Omniview-VCI and MRI techniques was (1.17 ± 0.15) cm and (1.20 ± 0.12) cm, respectively, which was significantly greater than that measured by routine ultrasonography [(1.11 ± 0.13) cm, t = 2.137, 3.597, both P < 0.05]. There was no significant difference in the width of the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle measured by Omniview-VCI technique versus MRI technique ( t = 1.104, P > 0.05). The mean examination cost and waiting time of Omniview-VCI technique were (222.15 ± 3.20) yuan and (0.24 ± 0.04) days, which were less or shorter than those of MRI technique [(597.23 ± 11.02) yuan, (1.02 ± 0.10) days, t = 213.126, 51.210, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion:Omniview-VCI technique can replace MRI and accurately measure the posterior angle of fetal near-field lateral ventricle. It provides a more simple, fast and effective method for evaluating fetal near-field lateral ventricle, and can become a conventional application technique.
