Objective To investigate the principle of scrap iron processing by Terminalia chebula by comparation of the content changes of the Fe2+ in scrap iron and the organic acid in ingredients of T. chebula before and after processing. Methods Scrap iron was processed by two methods of decocting and immersion, respectively. Spectrophotometric method and HPLC were used to analyze the contents of Fe2+ and organic acid before and after processing. Results The content of Fe2+ increased from 0.000 3% to 3.07% and 1.02% after processed by the above two methods, respectively. The content of organic acid decreased significantly after processing (1.67% to 1.24% and 1.51% for gallic acid, 2.23% to 0% for corilagin, 9.33% to 0% for chebulagic acid, 1.18% to 0% for ellagic acid, 24.70% to 0% for chebulinic acid). Conclusion The Fe3+ in crude scrap iron can be reduced into Fe2+ absorbed easily by human in scrap iron processing by T. chebula. Organic acids in the processed products can prevent Fe2+ from being oxidized to Fe3+, thereby prolonging the retention period.

OBJECTIVETo investigate influential factors for the tendency to medicate and medication compliance in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

METHODSA total of 188 children aged from 5 to 16 years, who were initially diagnosed with ADHD according to DSM-IV criteria, were included in the study. They underwent symptom assessment and cognitive function test. The compliance of methylphenidate treatment was evaluated.

RESULTSPatients with better emotional state, and fewer oppositional and hyperactive behaviors and those who had a family history of psychiatric diseases and who obtained lower scores in the number cancellation test (NCT), were more prone to medication and/or exhibited better medication compliance. Logistic regression analysis showed that fewer oppositional and hyperactive behaviors and lower NCT scores were the predictive factors for a higher tendency to medicate, and a better emotional state was the predictive factor for better medication compliance. Patients of predominantly inattentive type were more prone to medication and showed better medication compliance, as compared with those of combined type. Gender, age and symptom severity were not associated with the tendency to medicate and/or medication compliance.

CONCLUSIONSThere is a need to enhance medication compliance in children with ADHD who have hyperactive, impulsive and oppositional behaviors, and to improve their long-term social functions.

OBJECTIVETo establish a heat stress adaptation model in mouse fibroblast cell line NIH-3T3, and analyze the effect of stress and adaptation on protein synthesis.

METHODSA heat stress adaptation cell model was established by heat preconditioning at 42 degrees C for 20 min. The total proteins were separated from the cell lysate by two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE), and analyzed using PDQUEST software. The effect of heat stress and preconditioning on protein synthesis was studied, and the protein spots related to stress adaptation were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting (PMF).

RESULTSThe proteins with increased expressions in cells with heat stress but not prior preconditioning represented mostly proteins with low molecular mass, whereas in cells exposed to heat stress following heat preconditioning, the upregulated proteins showed a wide spectrum of relative molecular mass.

CONCLUSIONSIn stress condition, the cells tend to give priority to synthesis of proteins with small molecular mass. Preconditioning of the cells may increase the intracellular reserve of the protective proteins for protection against challenge with potential stress condition.

OBJECTIVE Based on the methods of microdialysis,HPLC-MS/MS and gene chip tech-nology,the mechanism of Baicalin and Geniposide(BC/GP)against excitatory amino acid toxicity in ce-rebral ischemia was studied. This will provide guidance for the clinical application of BC/GP and the study of excitatory amino acid toxicity in cerebral ischemia.METHODS (1)Microdialysis technique and HPLC-MS/MS was performed to study the pharmacodynamics of BC/GP against cerebral ischemia. ①18 SD rats with body weight of(280±20)g were randomly divided into control group,treatment groups with BC/CP at low dose,medium dose and high dose(equal to the dosage of crude drugs for 30 mg·kg-1, 45 mg·kg-1and 60 mg·kg-1respectively).Rats in each group were given intragastric administration for seven days to establish cerebral ischemia model. Then, microdialysis probe was applied to collect cerebrospinal fluid from hippocampus before and after cerebral ischemia. ② First, we established the HPLC-MS/MS method for measuring drugs and excitatory amino acids.Then we detected the microdi-alysis samples and observed their changes in animals.(2)The mechanism of BC/GP against excitatory toxicity of cerebral ischemia were observed at gene level by chip technique. ① 16 SD rats with body weight of 240±20 g were randomly divided into sham group, model group, treatment group of BC(60 mg·kg-1),treatment group of GP(60 mg·kg-1)and treatment group of BC/GP(7:3)(60 mg·kg-1).Rats in eachgroup were given intragastric administration for seven days to establish cerebral ischemia model. Then the rats were sacrificed,and the hippocampus were rapidly harvested and stored at-80℃for further detection. ②After the quality inspection of the hippocampal,the qualified samples were subjected to detect the levels of neurotransmitter receptor gene in the ischemic of rats by gene chip technology.Finally,the results were analyzed by the method of Δ ΔCt.RESULTS (1)Only three compounds includ-ed GP,glutamic acid and aspartic acid were detected in microdialysis samples by HPLC-MS/MS.The concentration of GP increased and lasted for 120 min with a significant dose-dependent after cerebral ischemia.Compared with low dose group,the AUC(0-t),MRT(0-∞),Cmaxand t1/2zin high-dose group showed significant difference(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the levels of glutamic acid and aspartic acid in the treatment groups decreased significantly,especially in the middle and high dose groups.(2) 89 genes in the neurotransmitter receptor gene signaling pathway were detected by gene chip technol-ogy. There were 22 genes with |Fold Regulation|>1.5 in the model group, compared with the sham group.Five of the 22 genes showed statistically significant differences,including Grin2c(2.9026),Chrna7 (-1.5877), and Tacr2 (-1.7695). Htr3a (-1.8172) and Grm6 (-2.3527). There were 5 genes with |Fold Regulation|>1.5 in the BC group, compared with the model group, Two of them exhibited statistically significant differences,including Brs3(1.797)and Grin2c(-1.7979).There were 14 genes with|Fold Reg-ulation|>1.5 in the GP group, compared with the model group. Three of them displayed statistically significant differences,including Hcrtr2 (-1.6584), Sctr (-3.8524) and Grin2c (-4.8408). Compared with model group, the genes of |Fold Regulation|>1.5 in BC/GP (7:3) group are 5, and only one of them showed a significant differences. CONCLUSION (1)After administration of BC and GP,GP can cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce the release of excitatory amino acids in the hippocampus. (2) BC/GP can inhibit the interaction between excitatory amino acids and excitatory amino acid receptors and attenuate the toxicity of excitatory amino acids by down-regulating the expression of glutamic acid receptor Grin2c gene.(3)BC/GP may exert their brain protection effect by reducing the release of excit-atory amino acids and inhibiting the expression of excitatory amino acid receptors.

This prospective study was conducted to compare risk factors and pregnancy outcomes between women with complete placenta previa and those with incomplete placenta previa diagnosed in mid-pregnancy.The study was carried out from April 2014 to December 2015,during which 70 patients with complete previa and 113 with incomplete previa between 20+0 weeks and 25+6 weeks of gestation were included.Maternal demographics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups.Comparisons between categorical variables were tested by chi-squared test and those between continuous variables by Student t test.Resolution ofprevia occurred in 87.43％ of the studied women.The mean gestational age at resolution was 32.1±4.4 weeks.Incidence of maternal age ≥35 years and incidence of prior uterine operation ＞3 were high in women with complete previa (28.6％vs.8.8％,P=0.003;28.6％ vs.8.8％,P=0.003).Resolution of previa occurred less often in complete previa group (74.3％ vs.95.6％,P=0.001).Women with complete previa admitted earlier (37.3±2.0 weeks vs.38.1±1.4 weeks,P=0.011) and delivered earlier (37.7±1.2weeks vs.38.3±1.4 weeks,P=0.025).Maternal age ≥35 years and prior uterine operation ＞3 increase the risk of complete previa in mid-pregnancy.Placenta previa is more likely to persist in women with complete previa than those with incomplete previa diagnosed in midpregnancy.What is more,women with complete previa in mid-pregnancy deliversearlier.
