Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2014;(9):75-79
Objective To study Dendrobium from Yunnan Province by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with hierarchical cluster analysis.Methods Stems of 83 trees from 11 Dendrobium varieties were tested through using FTIR, so as to analyze the differences among different varieties and identify Dendrobium variety by second-derivative spectral, the correlation analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis.Results The spectra showed that the main ingredients of stems were cellulose, lignin and polysaccharides. The fraction of lignin and cellulose ofD.officinate was lower, while that for polysaccharides was higher. There was a high correlation among spectra, with the correlation coefficients of more than 0.980, and that for second-derivative spectral was 0.751 to 0.980. All the samples were clustered by second-derivative spectral, with the correct rate of 87.9%. Hierarchical cluster analysis showed that the components ofD.hercoglossum, D.lohohense andD.adumcum,D.brymerianum andD.nobile,D.guangxiense andD.fimbriatum are more similar than that of others.Conclusion FTIR combined with hierarchical cluster analysis can distinguish and identify different varieties of Dendrobium, and is an effective and simple way to identify different varieties.

ABSTRACT:Objective To observe the effects of late Na current (INa‐L ) and rapidly activating delayed rectifier K current (IKr ) on ventricular heterogeneity and frequency dependency by using high resolution voltage sensitive optical mapping technology .Methods The model of 12 isolated hearts was constructed in rabbits . Voltage sensitive dye Di‐4‐ANEPPS were perfused into the isolated hearts by Langendorff method .LED source with the wave length of 532 nm was used to record APD80 and APD50 of the left and right ventricles .Experimental groups were divided into 3 groups by perfusion drugs dofetillide (30 nmol/L) ,dofetillide+ATX‐Ⅱ(1 nmol/L) ,and dofetillide +ATX‐Ⅱ +mexiletine (10μmol/L) .The subjects were intervened by the above drugs in order ,and they were self‐compared before dosing .After each drug administration ,the hearts were stimulated respectively with the BCL of 2 000 ms ,1 000 ms ,500 ms ,and 300 ms .Then we observed the changes of APD80 and APD50 in the left and right ventricles before and after the interventions .Results ① In the control group ,APD80 and APD50 of the right ventricle were longer than those of the left ventricle in response to different stimulation , and the differences increased with the decrease of stimulating frequency .② When BCL was 1000 ms ,APD80 and APD50 of the left and right ventricles were prolonged respectively after administration of dofetillide , but the differences in APD80 and APD50 were insignificant between the left and right ventricles (P>0 .05) .ΔAPD80 of the two ventricles increased significantly with the decrease of stimulating frequency . ③ After administration of ATX‐Ⅱ , when BCL was 1000 ms ,APD80 and APD50 of the left and right ventricles increased significantly compared with those in the control group and dofetillide intervention group (P<0 .05) .And the increase of APD in the left ventricle was greater than that of the right ventricle .ΔAPD80 of the two ventricles increased significantly with the decrease of stimulating frequency .④ After administration of mexiletine ,when BCL was 1000 ms ,APD80 and APD50 of the left and right ventricles reduced significantly compared with those of the primary state (P<0 .05) .APD80 and APD50 of the left and right ventricles reduced significantly compared with those of the control group (P< 0 .05) and ATX‐Ⅱ group (P>0 .05) .The increase of ΔAPD80 of the two ventricles became milder when the stimulating frequency decreased . Conclusion ① IKr blocked by dofetillide did not affect the heterogeneity between the two ventricles , which showed reverse‐frequency dependence . ② In the context of blocking IKr , ATX‐Ⅱ increased the heterogeneity between the left and right ventricles and enhanced the reverse‐frequency dependence .In contrast ,mexiletine ,the blocker of INa‐L ,decreased the heterogeneity between the two ventricles and reverse‐frequency dependence .

Objective:The effect of antiviral therapy for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical hepatectomy was assessed. Methods:A total of 478 HBV-HCC patients treated by radical hepatectomy were retrospectively col-lected. Patients in the treatment group (n=141) received postoperative lamivudine therapy (100 mg/d), whereas patients in the control group (n=337) did not. Recurrence-free survival rates, overall survival rates, treatments for recurrent HCC and cause of death were com-pared between the two groups. Propensity score matching was also conducted to reduce confounding bias between the groups. Results:The one-, three-, and five-year recurrence-free survival rates didn't significantly differ between the two groups (P=0.778);however, the one-, three-, and five-year overall survival rates in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P=0.002). Similar results were observed in the matched data. Subgroup analysis showed that antiviral treatment conferred a significant sur-vival benefit for Barcelona Clinical Liver Cancer stage A/B patients. Following HCC recurrence, more people in the treatment group were able to choose curative treatments than those in the control group (P=0.031). For cause of death, fewer people in the treatment group died of liver failure than those in the control group (P=0.041). Conclusion:Postoperative antiviral therapy increases chances of receiving curative treatments for recurrent HCC and prevents death because of liver failure, thereby significantly prolonging overall sur-vival, especially in early-or intermedian-stage tumors.

Objective: The effect of thymosin alpha 1 (Tα1) on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after radical hepatectomy was assessed. Methods: A total of 558 HCC patients treated by radical hepatectomy were retrospectively collected. Patients in the treatment group (n=146) received postoperative Tα1 therapy, whereas patients in the control group (n=412) did not. Propensity scale matching was conducted to improve the balance between the two groups. Changes in liver function, recurrence-free survival rates, and overall survival rates were compared between the two groups. Results: Postoperative liver function (i.e., TBIL, ALB, ALT, and PT) in the treatment group was significantly better than that in the control group (P<0.05). The one-, two-, and three-year recurrence-free survival rates and overall survival rates in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P=0.019 and P=0.011, respectively). Conclusion:Postoperative Tα1 therapy can improve postoperative liver function, thus significantly prolonging recurrence-free survival and overall survival.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of rumination thinking between demoralization and quality of life in malignant tumor patients, provide guidance and reference for helping tumor patients overcome rumination thinking and demoralization and improve quality of life.Methods:From February 2020 to June 2022, 189 patients with malignant tumors admitted to the Department of Oncology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were selected by convenience sampling method as the research objects, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted using general information questionnaire, Demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version, Ruminative Responses Scale, Punctional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General.Results:Among 189 malignant tumor patients, there were 102 males, 87 females, aged (43.54 ± 13.12) years old. The total score of loss of demoralization was (34.37 ± 10.34) points, the total score of rumination thinking was (41.01 ± 17.10) points, the total score of quality of life was (48.51 ± 15.41) points. The Pearson analysis results showed that the total score of demoralization in malignant tumor patients was negatively correlated with the total score of quality of life ( r = -0.502, P<0.01); the total score of rumination thinking was negatively correlated with the total score of quality of life ( r = -0.465, P<0.01), and the total score of demoralization was positively correlated with the total score of rumination thinking ( r = 0.628, P<0.01). Bootstrap mediation test results showed that ruminant thinking played a partial mediating effect between demoralization and quality of life of patients with malignant tumors, accounted for 30.9% of the total effect. Conclusions:Rumination plays a partially mediating role in the demoralization and quality of life of patients with malignant tumors, suggesting that clinical staff can improve the quality of life of patients with tumors by developing a systematic and comprehensive cognitive-behavioral intervention strategy to improve the demoralization and rumination.
