Objective To study the correlations of the concentration of WBC count,CRP and ESR in the course of Mycoplas-ma pneumoniae (MP)pneumonia and to provide laboratory basis for the use of the hormone.Methods The WBC count, CRP and ESR test results of MP pneumonia patients with hospital diagnosed from Jan 2008 to Dec 2012 were analyzed retro-spectively.Results The WBC,CRP and ESR were significantly higher in patients with extrapulmonary complications in-duced by mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)pneumonia,chest X-ray showed large sheet density shadow or the glucocorticoids user,than those who with no extrapulmonary complications,chest X-ray showed patchy or ground-galss opacities and not u-sing glucocorticoids (P<0.05).Conclusion When the WBC,CRP and ESR were significantly higher in patients rule out bacterial infection induced by mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP)pneumonia,can using glucocorticoid therapy as early as possi-ble.

Objective To analyze a population of cells on the right lower lateral of monocyte population in forward scatter/side scatter(FSC/SSC)(X-axis/Y-axis)scatterplot of peripheral blood leucocyte by flow cytometry(FCM)and its influencing factors.Methods The type of cells were identified based on cluster of differentiation antigen(CD)by FCM.The impact of temperature,hemolysin concentration,and incubation time was evaluated.Blood lipid tests were performed to observe the relation between them by statistical methods.Results (1) Phenotypo of this population of cells on the right lower lateral of monocytes in FSc/SSC scatterplot is CD+45 CD+13 CD+14 CD3- CD-19 ,which was the same as monocyte cells:(2)The monocytes in FSC/SSC scatterplot shifted to left side after using haemolysin;(3)The monocytes showed less resistance to antihemolysin in 37℃ than that in 220C:There were more monocytes shifting to left side with the increase of haemolysis time:(4)The swarming ratio of monocytes in patients (31.5%,40/126) Was higher than it in normal controls (5.1%,5/98)(x2=22.74,P<0.01);(5)The levels of total serum cholesterol(TC),triglyeride(TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), apoprotein B100(Apo B100) in patients with swarming monocytes were lower than that in the patients without swarming monocytes,(P<0.05).There was no statistical significance between the two groups with respect to levels of total bilirubin(TBIL),albumin(Alb),hish density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),apoprotein A I(Apo A I),lipoprotein(Lpa).Conclusions Peripheral blood monocytes can be divided in two groups in FSC/SSC scatterplot when analyzed with FCM.The presence of this population of cell Was related to resistance to hemolysin.It can be influenced by haemolysis time and incubation temperature.Therefore,the effect of swarming monocytes and abnormal cell membrane should be taken into consideration when the markers and function of monocytes are detected by FCM.

Objective To explore and validate the mechanism of Prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori in the treatment of NAFLD based on network pharmacology and animal non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)model experiments.Methods Consult the literature to compare the differences between Radix Polygoni Multiflori and Prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori(PRPM).Herb database and SwissADME database were used to screen the active ingredients of Prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori,SwissTargetPrediction database was used to predict its targets,OMIM,DISGENET and GEENCARDS databases were used to screen the NAFLD-related targets,conduct GO functional enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis.The active ingredient-target-KEGG signaling pathway-NAFLD network was mapped later.The mice with NAFLD were treated with Prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori by gavage for 8 weeks;serum triglyceride level and alanine aminotransferase(ALT)activity were measured;the liver lesions were observed by HE staining;the potential mechanism of action of Radix Polygoni Multiflori in the treatment of NAFLD was verified by Western blot.Results The differences between Radix Polygoni Multiflori and PRPM were consulted.Six pharmacological components and 32 potential action targets of Radix Polygoni Multiflori for the treatment of NAFLD were screened by network pharmacology,GO and KEGG pathways were enriched to lipid and atherosclerosis-related pathways,AMPK signaling pathway,etc.;HE staining verified that Prepared Radix Polygoni Multiflori has the function of improving NAFLD and is associated with the alteration of FASN,ACC,SCD protein of AMPK signaling pathway.Conclusion Radix Polygoni Multiflori has the potential to improve NAFLD by regulating FASN,ACC and SCD.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and safety of Fuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction in treating benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) in the patients with the syndrome of healthy Qi deficiency and blood stasis. MethodA total of 94 BPH patients were randomized into control and observation groups, with 47 patients in each group. The control group was treated with doxazosin mesylate sustained-release tablets, and the observation group with Fuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction on the basis of the therapy in the control group. After eight weeks, the international prostate symptom score (IPSS), quality of life (QOL) score, residual urine volume (RUV), maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax), TCM syndrome score, TCM symptom score, electrocardiogram, and liver and kidney function were determined to evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups. ResultAfter 8 weeks of treatment, the total response rate in the control group was 63.64% (28/44), which was lower than that (84.44%, 38/45) in the observation group (χ2=5.026, P<0.05). The clinical efficacy in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (Z=-2.17, P=0.030). The treatment in both groups decreased the IPSS, QOL score, RUV, and TCM syndrome scores and increased the Qmax (P<0.05). Moreover, the observation group had lower IPSS, QOL score, RUV, and TCM syndrome score (P<0.05) and higher Qmax than the control group after treatment (P<0.05). The treatment in the observation group decreased all the TCM symptom scores (P<0.05), while that in the control group only decreased the frequency of urination at night and the scores of dysuria, weak urine stream, and post-urinary drainage (P<0.05). After treatment, the observation group had lower frequency of urination at night and lower scores of mental fatigue, cold limbs, lower abdominal discomfort, and loose stool than the control group (P<0.05). No adverse events associated with the administration of Fuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction were observed during the treatment period. ConclusionFuzheng Huaji Longbi decoction is effective in treating BPH in the patients with the syndrome of healthy qi deficiency and blood stasis. It can relieve the clinical symptoms and improve the quality of life, being a safe and reliable choice for clinical application.

【Objective】 To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors alone or in combination with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) compared with SSRIs alone in the treatment of comorbidity of erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation (PE). 【Methods】 The clinical randomized controlled trials of ED and PE comorbidity treated with PDE5 inhibitors alone or in combination with SSRIs were searched from database inception to Sep.2022, in CNKI, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Wanfang Database, cqVIP Database, SinoMed and Yiigle. The intravaginal ejaculatory latency time(IELT), score of International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF-5) and adverse reaction rate were analyzed with RevMan 5.4.1 software. 【Results】 A total of9 studies involving 793 patients were included. Meta analysis showed that compared with SSRIs alone, PDE5 inhibitors alone or in combination with SSRIs yielded better results in IELT [MD=1.99, 95%CI(1.51-2.46), P<0.001] and higher IIEF-5 score [MD=4.61, 95%CI(3.68-5.55), P<0.001] , but no increase in adverse events [RR=0.99, 95%CI(0.74-1.31), P=0.92] . 【Conclusion】 In the treatment of ED and PE comorbidity, priority should be given to ED or both ED and PE, which can produce better efficacy without increasing the adverse effects.
