Objective To understand the traffic pollution in main crossroads of Changsha. Methods The levels of noise, NO 2, O 3 and TSP and traffic volumn were monitored in 6 main crossroads of Changsha in situ, 3 times per day, continuously for 5 days. Results The traffic volumns were 1 203～3 715/h, the noise levels were 69～88 dB(A), the levels of NO 2, O 3 and TSP in air of 6 main crossroads were 0.092～0.238 mg/m 3, 0.238～0.303 mg/m 3 and 0.71～1.47 mg/m 3 respectively. The over standard rates were 93%～100% for O 3 with a average rate of 98%. Conclusion The traffic pollution in main crossroads of Changsha mainly induced by noise and O 3, which might be associated with the traffic volumn, the environment around the crossroads and the types of the automobile running in the crossroads.

Object To optimize the process for the recovery of soyasaponins from bean product waste. Methods Conditions for the recovery were studied by orthogonal design guided by the yield of soya-saponins as determined by UV absorbance. Results The most influential factor in the recovery by refluxing was the concentration of alcohol; while in the recovery by percolation the influential factors were in the order of concentration of ethyl alcohol, amount of alcohol used and the rate of percolation.Conclusion The optimal recovery process was found to be a single reflux with eight times of 60% alcohol for 2.5 h.

Objective To provide effective reference for quality analysis of the chemical composition and extraction of astragalus separation process by comparing the extract of astragalus and it’s IR spectra. Methods The saponins and flavonoids in astragalus were firstly extracted by the method of circumfluence with ethanol as solvent and the residue of ethanol-extraction was then used to extract polysaccharides by distilled water. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (IR) combined with second derivative infrared spectroscopy was applied to quickly identify astragalus herbs powder, water extraction of astragalus, astragalus alcohol extraction and water extraction of the residue of ethanol-extraction. Results The powder and 70% ethanol extract, 80% ethanol extract were around at 1 735 cm-1 (carbonyl stretching vibration absorption peak) has a weak, broad absorption, while the absorption peak was less obvious in boiling water extraction. So the maln components of astragalus water extraction are polysaccharides and also contaln a small amount of water-insoluble flavonoids. Alcohol extraction malnly contalns saponins and flavonoids, and flavonoid extract volume increases with increasing alcohol concentration in a certaln range.Conclusion This method can be a quick and easy identification for astragalus and it’s extraction for its chemical composition class, and provide the basis for further research quality.

Abstract According to the Healthy China Action Plan, Wuhan gives full play to the role of preventing and controlling student myopia by promoting student health. The primary focus is placed on education in schools, and Wuhan has integrated educational resources to develop a multi-level myopia prevention and control system and service network for school students. The network contains educational adminstrative, schools, families, and professional technical service organizations. By integrating multiple disciplines, Wuhan has built a comprehensive vision health management service system for all students. The Internet and cloud intelligent monitoring facilitated the establishment of a smart vision health management platform for students, which thoroughly and efficiently implemented myopia prevention and control to safeguard students visual health by engaging in education, monitoring, and supervision. The prevention and control of student myopia is a breakthrough for comprehensive healthy development of students. A comparison of the standard myopia rate in Wuhan in 2019 and 2018 revealed that the standard myopia rate at different learning stages of primary school, junior high school, and high school dropped by 3.31, 2.50, and 2.26 percentage points, respectively, and the rate of myopia in primary school was significantly lower than the national level. Post-epidemic surveys showed that the compliance rate and the awareness rate of the visual environment and visual behaviors of primary and secondary school students in Wuhan reached more than 80%, and prevalence of newly onset myopia or decreased vision was 30%, which was lower than the national average. The "Wuhan Model" provides an important referential framework for public health services for school students.

Objective To investigate the effects of Tuina of Three Handing-Three Points on hindlimb motor function and expression of protein NogoA and its receptor NgR in the spinal cord of rats with sciatic nerve injury. Methods A total of 64 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to normal group (n = 16), sham group (n = 16), model group (n = 16) and Tuina group (n = 16). The model group and Tuina group prepared the sciatic nerve injury model with brace method. Tuina group received Tuina in methods of pressing, strumming and circular rubbing on Yinmen (BL37), Chengshan (BL57) and Yanglingquan (GB34) with Tuina manipulation emulator. The rats were assessed with oblique plate test seven days after operation and 20 days after Tuina. Then, the spinal cord tissues were extracted to detect the expression of protein of NogoA and NgR with Western blotting. Results The scores of the oblique plate test decreased in the model group and Tuina group seven days after operation compared with those in the normal group (P < 0.05), while the expression NgR increased (P < 0.05). The scores of the oblique plate test increased in Tuina group compared with those in the model group 20 days after Tuina (P < 0.05), while the expression of NgR decreased (P < 0.05), similar to the normal group (P > 0.05). Conclusion Tuina of Three Handing-Three Points can improve the hindlimb motor function in rats with sciatic nerve injury, which may be related to inhibition of the expression of NgR in the spinal cord after sciatic nerve injury.

Obesity is a chronic， recurrent， and progressive metabolic disorder characterized by the abnormal or excessive accumulation of body fat caused by multiple factors such as genetics， dietary structure， lifestyle and behavior， psychology， environment， and society， leading to an energy surplus. Obesity is a major risk factor that increases the risk of developing various chronic diseases， including type 2 diabetes， hypertension， cardiovascular diseases， stroke， and certain malignancies. The global incidence of obesity is increasing year by year. With the continuous improvement of people's living standards， more than half of adults in China are now overweight or obese， posing a serious threat to people's health and increasing the social and economic burden. It has become a pressing major public health issue that needs to be addressed urgently. The concept of obesity can be traced back to the Huangdi’s Internal Classic （Huang Di Nei Jing）， which describes it as "the problems in fat and affluent people are caused by excessive taking of rich food"， and suggests that ''frequent intake of rich and greasy foods can produce interior heat. Sweet flavor causes chest fullness. That is why its spleen-Qi flows upwards and changes into consumption-thirst disease. It can be treated by Eupatorii Herba which is used to remove stagnant Qi''. The stagnant qi is caused by the transformation failure of rich and greasy food and wine， so obesity is the disease of stagnant qi. Obesity is caused by indulging in rich and greasy food， wine， spicy and flavorful foods， raw and cold foods， and sweet and greasy foods， or overeating and leading a sedentary lifestyle， staying up late， or experiencing emotional imbalances such as excessive joy， anger， worry， pensiveness， and fear. It can also be caused by congenital abnormalities， leading to improper functioning of the spleen and stomach， dysregulation of the absorption and secretion of the small intestine， and the accumulation of stagnant Qi in the organs and muscles， resulting in a plump physique. The intake of food and drink depends on the functions of the stomach in receiving and decomposing， the small intestine in absorbing and secreting， and the spleen in transforming and transporting. The affected organs in obesity are the spleen， stomach， and small intestine. Orchids， specifically Eupatorii Herba and Lycopi Herba， are aromatic herbs that can regulate the smooth flow of Qi， eliminate stagnation， and cleanse impurities. In a broader sense， any aromatic and pungent substance that can invigorate the spleen， promote clarity， harmonize the stomach， reduce turbidity， and assist in the normal secretion and absorption functions of the small intestine， thereby eliminating excess， is referred to as orchid. Therefore， the treatment principle for obesity is to use ''orchids to eliminate stagnant Qi''， aiming to regulate the functions of the spleen， stomach， and small intestine using aromatic and pungent substances， gradually eliminating excessive dampness， phlegm， turbidity， and heat， and restore the balance of the middle energizer. This way， individuals who are obese can achieve a non-obese state.

In this work, retinal penetration of fluorescein was achieved in vitro by covalent attachment of taurine to fluorescein, yielding the F-Tau conjugate. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) were used to confirm the successful synthesis of F-Tau. The cellular uptake of F-Tau in adult retinal pigment epithelial cells (ARPE-19) and human retinal microvascular endothelial cells (hRMECs) was visualized via confocal scanning microscopy. The results indicated an improvement of solubility and a reduction of logP of F-Tau compared with fluorescein. As compared with fluorescein, F-Tau showed little toxicity, and was retained longer by cells in uptake experiments. F-Tau also displayed higher transepithelial permeabilities than fluorescein in ARPE-19 and hRMECs monolayer cells (P<0.05). These results showed that taurine may be a useful ligand for targeting small-molecule hydrophobic pharmaceuticals into the retina.
