ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome patterns among postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia, and to examine the correlations of lipid parameters with bone mineral density (BMD) and bone metabolism markers across common TCM syndrome patterns, thereby providing a clinical reference for individualized integrative traditional Chinese and western medicine interventions stratified according to TCM syndrome patterns. MethodsA multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted among postmenopausal women aged 45-64 years with dyslipidemia. TCM syndromes were determined using a scale-based scoring method. BMD measurements were collected, and fasting venous blood samples were assayed for lipid parameters including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and bone metabolism biomarkers including osteocalcin (OST), total procollagen type Ⅰ N-terminal propeptide (P1NP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), β-isomerized C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen (β-CTX), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). Chi-square tests were used to compare the distribution of dyslipidemia across different TCM syndromes. Spearman's rank correlation analysis was performed to evaluate the correlations between TCM syndrome patterns and dyslipidemia, as well as the correlations of lipid parameters with BMD and bone metabolism markers within each syndrome pattern. ResultsA total of 506 postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia were included, comprising 172 cases of spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome (33.99%), 163 cases of phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome (32.21%), 118 cases of liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome (23.32%), 33 cases of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome (6.52%), and 20 cases of yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity syndrome (3.95%). Phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome was negatively correlated with TC abnormality (r=-0.120, P=0.007) and positively correlated with TG abnormality (r=0.246, P<0.001). Spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome and liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome were both negatively correlated with TG abnormality (r=-0.101, P=0.023; r=-0.116, P=0.009, respectively). Further correlation analysis confirmed that phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome was negatively correlated with TC abnormality (r=-0.120) and significantly positively correlated with TG abnormality (r=0.246). Both the spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome and liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome were negatively correlated with TG abnormality (r=-0.101 and r=-0.116, respectively). In patients with phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome, HDL-C was negatively correlated with BMD at the left femoral neck (r=-0.178, P=0.023) and at left total hip (r=-0.190, P=0.015). In patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, TG was positively correlated with BMD at the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and left total hip (r=0.214, P=0.020; r=0.221, P=0.016, respectively). More significant correlations were observed in patients with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome, TG was positively correlated with ALP (r=0.210, P=0.006); TC was positively correlated with TSH and 25(OH)D (r=0.153, P=0.045; r= 0.231, P=0.002, respectively); HDL-C was positively correlated with OST and 25(OH)D (r=0.156, P=0.040; r=0.228, P=0.003, respectively); and LDL-C was positively correlated with TSH and 25(OH)D (r=0.156, P= 0.041; r=0.182, P=0.017, respectively). In patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome, HDL-C was negatively correlated with TSH (r=-0.204, P=0.027). ConclusionThe association between dyslipidemia and skeletal health in postmenopausal women varies across TCM syndromes. Lipid abnormalities in women with phlegm-turbidity obstruction syndrome or liver-kidney yin deficiency syndrome are accompanied primarily by site-specific alterations in BMD, whereas those in women with spleen-kidney yang deficiency syndrome are reflected mainly in changes in bone metabolism markers. These findings suggest that targeted intervention strategies should be developed according to TCM syndrome characteristics for postmenopausal women with dyslipidemia.

Objective To explore the characteristics of response inhibition of military university students during multitasking operation. Methods Repeated measures of ANOVA as well as distribution test were employed to explore how the performance of 127 military university students in Go/No-Go test was affected by simulated driving task. Results The test results of 127 participants showed that there was a interaction between the interference task and the Go trial proportion on the hit rate and false alarm rate,that is,no significant difference was observed between the 60% and 40% of trial proportion without interference task (both P>0.05),but the hit rate and false alarm rate in the 60% trial proportion condition were significantly higher than those in the 40% trial proportion condition under interference task (both P<0.01).In addition,significant main effects of interference task were observed on hit rate,false alarm rate,and discrimination index d' (all P<0.01),that is,the interference task reduced the hit rate and discrimination,but increased the false alarm rate.Moreover,individual differences existed in the discrimination index d' changes,and the participants were divided into easily disturbed group (n=23,18.11%),undisturbed group (n=20,15.75%),and intermediate group (n=84,66.14%) by adding or subtracting 1 standard deviation from the mean of the difference. Conclusion The interference tasks increase the psychological load of military university students during multitasking operation,and impair the response inhibition;and individual differences exist in response inhibition.

Five new terpenoids, including two vibsane-type diterpenoids (1, 2) and three iridoid allosides (3-5), together with eight known ones, were isolated from the leaves and twigs of Viburnum odoratissimum var.sessiliflorum. Their planar structures and relative configurations were determined by spectroscopic methods, especially 2D NMR techniques. The sugar moieties of the iridoids were confirmed as β-D-allose by GC analysis after acid hydrolysis and acetylation. The absolute configurations of neovibsanin Q (1) and dehydrovibsanol B (2) were determined by quantum chemical calculation of their theoretical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra and Rh2(OCOCF3)4-induced ECD analysis. The anti-inflammatory activities of compounds 1, 3, 4, and 5 were evaluated using an LPS-induced RAW264.7 cell model. Compounds 3suppressed the release of NO in a dose-dependent manner, with an IC50 value of 55.64 μmol·L-1. The cytotoxicities of compounds 1-5 on HCT-116 cells were assessed and the results showed that compounds 2 and 3 exhibited moderate inhibitory activities with IC50 values of 13.8 and 12.3 μmol·L-1, respectively.

Objective To evaluate the clinic effect of leaflet enlargement with autologous pericardium in repairing mitral valve disease and to describe the technique and discuss its indications. Methods Between July 2004 and June 2008, 45 pa-tients with isolated mitral valve disease, included stenosis in 10 and regurgitation in 35. The causes were congenital heart dis-ease in 8, rheumatic in 21, degenerative in 7 and endecarditis in 9. The procedures were: posterior leaflet enlargement with autologuus pericardium in 14, anterior leaflet enlargement in 8, both anterior and posterior leaflet enlargement in 23. In addi-tion, eye to eye technique was in 12, artificial chordal in 12, chordal transfer in 6, papillary muscle vepesitioning in 4. Mitral anuuloplasty was performed in all cases. Before and after surgery, cardiac function parameters were compared. Results No operative deaths occurred. One case wastransfered to mitral valve replacement due to regurgation, lntraoperative transesophageal echocardiography showed no mitral regurgitation in 38 and small regurgitation in 6 cases. The mean mitral valve effective orifice area(MVEOA) was (2.8±0.6) cm~2, with a mean gradient pressure of (6.21±1.34) mm Hg after operation. The mean followed up was ( 18.0±2.1 ) months. Echocardiography study showed that no mitral regurgitation in 35 cases, slight regurgi-tation in 9, mean mitral effective orifice area was (2.5±0. 8 ) cm~2, mean gradient pressure of (7.21±0. 45 ) mm Hg, no one need reoperation. Postoperative cardiac functions were significantly improved: the average left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD) was (48±7) mm [ preoperative (56±6) nun, P <0.05], ejection fraction (EF) was 0.51~0.24( preoperative 0.45± 0.23, P < 0.05 ), the average left atrium diameter ( LA ) was ( 50±11 ) mm [ preoperative ( 62±23 ) mm, P <0. 05 ]. The function of mitral valves was well performed. Conclusion Leaflet enlargement with autologous pericardium com-bined with mitral annuloplasty was effective in repairing of diseased mitral valve. The advantages of the procedure including simplicity, good compatibility, avoiding foreign body and no need for anticoagulation.
