Aim: To study the synthesis and anti-platelet aggregation activities of ferulic acidic esters so as to search for novel antithrombus agents. Methods: Based on prodrug strategy and combination principles, monoesters were first synthesized by reaction of ferulic acid with alcohols, and then the monoesters were coupled with aspirin to afford bis-esters. The target compounds were assayed for anti-platelet aggregation activities in vitro. Results: Sixteen target compounds and eight sideproducts including 15 new compounds were synthesized and their struc-tures were determined by IR, MS and ~1H NMR. The results demonstrated that some tested compounds exhibited potential anti-platelet aggregation activities. Conclusion: The bis-esters of ferulic esters coupling with aspirin with 4 to 5 carbons in side chain might be used as lead compounds for further study in searching for novel antithrom-bus agents.

Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) in treatment of avascular necrosis of the femoral head (ANFH) in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Methods: The clinical data of 22 patients (35 hips) with HIV infection and ANFH (positive group), who were treated with cementless THA between February 2014 and January 2017, was retrospectively analyzed. Tirty-three cases (43 hips) without HIV infection, who were treated with cementless THA during the same period, were collected as control (negative group). There were significant differences in the age, gender, incidence of bilateral ANFH, and disease duration between 2 groups ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the Ficat stage of ANFH between 2 groups ( P>0.05). The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, rate of blood transfusion, postoperative complications, and hospitalization time were recorded. The hip joint function was evaluated by Harris score and X-ray film was performed to observe the position of the prosthesis. Results: The follow-up time was 13-24 months (mean, 20.2 months) in positive group and 14-25 months (mean, 21.6 months) in negative group. The operation time of negative group was significantly shorter than that of positive group ( t=3.677, P=0.001). However, there was no significant difference in intraoperative blood loss, rate of blood transfusion, and hospitalization time between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in Harris score between 2 groups before operation and at 1, 3, 6, and 12 months after operation ( P>0.05). There were 2 cases of superficial infection of incision and 1 case of pulmonary infection during hospitalization in positive group, and 1 case of superficial infection of incision and 1 case of venous thrombosis of lower extremity in negative group. No death or loosening and sinking of the prosthesis occurred in both groups during follow-up. Conclusion: Cementless THA is a safe and effective method for ANFH in patients with HIV infection.

The combination of Danggui and Honghua (GH) is a popular herb pair commonly used in clinic for the treatment of blood stasis syndrome in China. To evaluate the activating blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis effects of the combination of different proportions of Danggui and Honghua on acute blood stasis rats, and optimize the proportion of GH to have the best activating blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis effect. Acute blood stasis rat model was induced by subcutaneous injection of adrenaline and ice water bath. The blood stasis rats were administrated intragastrically with GH (1 : 0, 4 : 1, 2 : 1, 3 : 2, 1 : 1, 2 : 3, 1: 2, 1 : 4 and 0 : 1) extracts. The whole blood viscosity (WBV), plasma viscosity (PV), and high shear whole blood relative index (HSWBRI), low shear whole blood relative index (LSWBRI), and erythrocyte aggregation index (EAI) were tested to observe the effects of GH on hemorheology of blood stasis rats. And the maximum aggregation induced by adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was tested to observe the effect of GH on platelet aggregation index of blood stasis rats. In addition, the prothrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) and plasma fibrinogen (FIB) were tested to observe the effects of GH on blood coagulation function of blood stasis rats. Then principal component analysis and multi-attribute comprehensive index methods were both used to comprehensively evaluate the total activating blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis effects of GH. The results showed that the hemorheological indexes and coagulation parameters of model group both had significant differences with normal group. Compared with model group, GH (1 : 0, 4 : 1, 2: 1, 3 : 2, 1 : 1, 2 : 3, 1 : 2, 1 : 4 and 0 : 1) could improve all the blood hemorheology indexes and regulate part indexes of blood coagulation function and platelet aggregation in acute blood stasis rats. Based on principal component analysis and multi-attribute comprehensive index methods, GH 1 : 1 and GH 3 : 2 both had the best effect of blood circulation and dissipating blood stasis, and the effect of GH 1 : 1 was slightly better than GH 3 : 2. These results suggest that GH could obviously ameliorate the abnormality of hemorheology and blood coagulation function in acute blood stasis rats. The optimized proportion of GH was consistent with regulations of medicine usage that GH 1 : 1 had the highest frequency used in traditional Chinese formulae. It could provide scientific basis for more effective application of the compatibility between Danggui and Honghua in modern clinic medicine.

Aim To observe the differences of tonify-ing blood effect for the combination of Danggui and Honghua ( GH) with different proportions on blood de-ficiency mice, and choose the proportion of GH which has the optimal tonifying blood effect. Methods The blood deficient mice model was induced by injection of phenylhydrazine and cyclophosphamide. On the basis of multi-attribute comprehensive index method, the op-timal dose was determined through three doses of GH 1: 1 , which was the highest frequency proportion of GH used in the “Dictionary of Chinese Medicine Prescrip-tions”. According to the optimal dose, the change reg-ulation of tonifying blood effect of GH with different proportions was observed. Results Among three do-
ses (1, 3 and 5 times of clinical dose), the tonifying blood effect of GH was best when the dosing concentra-tion of GH was clinical dose. Among nine proportions (1 : 0, 4 : 1, 2 : 1, 3 : 2, 1 : 1, 2 : 3, 1 : 2, 1 : 4 and 0 : 1), GH 1 : 1 had the best effect. Conclusion The results are consistent with regulations of medi-cine usage that GH 1 : 1 has the highest frequency used in Herbal Formulae, which could provide scientif-ic basis for more effective application of Danggui and Honghua in modern clinic medicine.
