Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of skin lesions of tsutsugamushi disease.Methods The skin lesions and clinical characteristics of 17 hospitalized patients with tsutsugamushi disease were analyzed. Results Of the patients, 88.2% (15/17) developed eschar and skin ulcer, 64.7% (11/17) had skin rashes. The patients often developed solitary, painless and nonpruritic eschar 4 to 10 days after the occurrence of fever, with indefinite locations and average diameter of 1.2 cm (range: 0.5 - 3.0 cm). The eschar was covered with a black and dry surface and surrounded by a ring-shaped erythematous halo, and usually shedded 5 to 9 days after the appearance with the formation of shallow ulcer. Superficial lymphadenectasis was observed near the eschar in 80% of the patients with eschar, and no eschar was observed at the first visit in 66.7% of the patients. Skin rashes mainly included nonpruritic congestive papules (45.5%) and maculopapular rashes (54.5%), and often subsided 2 to 5 days after emergence. Conclusions The skin lesions of tsutsugamushi disease include eschar and skin rashes. Eschar is an important characteristic and highly suggestive of this entity.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the separation and purification technology of total saponins from the root of Thladiantha dubia (TSTR). METHODS: The content of TSTR was determined by UV-visible spectrophotometry. By comparing static adsorption and desorption properties of different types (AB-8, D101, DM130, HPD100, HPD300, HPD450, HPD600, HPD826, NKA-9) of macroporous adsorption resin, the type of macroporous adsorption resin was screened. With the content of TSTR as the index, influential factors of macroporous adsorption resin for adsorbing (ratio of height to diameter of resin, mass concentration of medicine liquid, adsorption volume flow, saturated extent of adsorption) and desorbing (desorption solvent volume fraction, desorption solvent volume flow, volume of desorbed solvent) TSTR were investigated. The optimal technology was screened. The technology validation, purification and preparation were conducted. RESULTS: HPD100 type macroporous adsorption resin had good adsorption and desorption properties for TSTR. The optimal adsorption technology was that the ratio of the height to diameter of the resin column was 1:5; mass concentration of medicine liquid was 1 g/mL; adsorption volume flow rate was 1 BV/h; saturated adsorption capacity was 1. 25 g per 1 g HPD100 resin; the optimal desorption technology was that the volume fraction of desorption solvent ethanol was 75%; volume flow rate of desorption was 3 BV/h; the volume of desorption solvent was 5 BV. The average desorption retention rate of TSTR was 77. 96% in technology validation (RSD=0. 46%, n=3) and the purity of prepared TSTR in TSTR dry cream was 52. 47% (RSD =1. 53%, n=3). CONCLUSIONS: The optimal purification technology is stable, feasible and suitable for the separation and purification of TSTR.
