OBJECTIVE To analyze the chemical components that were the absorbed in blood and liver tissue of rats after intragastric administration of aqueous extract from Abrus cantoniensis, and to speculate its possible metabolic pathways, providing reference for basic analysis of pharmacological substance in A. cantoniensis. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly divided into A. cantoniensis group (0.63 g/kg, calculated by crude drug) and blank group; they were given relevant drug solution/ultrapure water intragastrically. After a single dose, plasma and liver samples of rats in each group were collected. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technology was used to identify chemical components that were absorbed in the blood and liver tissue of rats. RESULTS Totally, 30 chemical constituents were identified from the water extracts of A. cantoniensis, including alkaloids, flavonoids, organic acids, iridoids (such as L-abrine, schaftoside, isoshaftoside). Ten prototype components and nine metabolites (such as decarboxylation and sulfation metabolites of protocatechuic acid, reduced sulfated metabolites of p-hydroxybenzoic acid) were identified from plasma samples; six prototype components and five metabolites (such as sulfated metabolites of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, decarboxylation and sulfation metabolites of p-hydroxybenzoic acid) were identified from liver samples. The main metabolic pathways included hydroxylation, demethylation, methylation, sulfation, glucuronidation, etc. CONCLUSIONS Alkaloids, flavonoids and organic acids are the main components of the aqueous extract from A. cantoniensis that are absorbed into the blood and liver, their metabolism mainly involves hydroxylation,demethylation, and sulfation.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection, RAS/RAF gene mutation and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect the gene mutation in the tumor tissues of 138 CRC patients in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from May 2017 to May 2020. At the same time, the venous blood of 138 patients was collected and enriched for CTC genotyping by mRNA in situ hybridization. The correlation between CTC, RAS/RAF gene mutation and clinicopathological features of CRC patients was analyzed.Results:The mutation rates of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF genes were 48.6%(67/138), 5.1%(7/138) and 1.4%(2/138), respectively; The overall positive rate of CTC was 84.1%(116/138). The positive rates of different CTC types were: 23.1%(32/138) in epithelial type, 71.7%(99/138) in mixed type and 12.3%(17/138) in interstitial type respectively. The positive rate of CTC in CRC patients with clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, lymph node metastasis (N1-N3) and distant metastasis (M1) was significantly higher than that in CRC patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, no lymph node metastasis (N0) and no distant metastasis (M0) (all P<0.05). The total number of CTC, mixed CTC and interstitial CTC were positively correlated with clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). RAS/RAF gene mutation, gender, age, tumor location and tumor differentiation did not affect the positive rate of CTC (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The results of CTC typing are of great research significance for comprehensive treatment, prognosis assessment and stratified management of CRC, among which the interstitial type of CTC may be a high risk factor for the recurrence and metastasis of CRC.

Objective:To explore the application method and effect of online teaching of pediatrics in undergraduate clinical medicine.Methods:From March to August, 2020, two classes of pediatrics were selected as research objects: 67 students from Batch 2016 "5+3" clinical medicine class were taught by providing recorded teaching resources and online communication and answering questions (hereinafter referred to as "recorded courses"); 39 students from Batch 2015 "5+3" clinical medicine class were taught by live courses and online communication and answering questions (hereinafter referred to as "live courses"). Through the questionnaire survey on the two groups of students, the effect of the two online teaching methods were compared and the medical students' views and suggestions on them were collected. SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:Most of the students in the two groups (98.1%) agreed with the effect of the online teaching of pediatrics and thought it could meet their learning needs. There was no significant difference in the online teaching effect between recorded courses group and live courses group ( P > 0.05). However, they had a poor recognition with the implementation of complete online teaching in the future, while they preferred the combination of online teaching with practical exercises in offline hospitals. Conclusion:Online teaching of pediatrics has been recognized by medical students. The two online teaching methods have their own advantages: recorded courses are more planned and the content is more rigorous; live courses are more interactive and flexible. However, considering that medicine is a highly practical subject, it still needs to be supplemented by offline practice while giving full play to the advantages of online teaching.

Objective: To explore the safety and efficacy of left atrial (LA) endocardial vagal denervation catheter ablation for treating the patients with refractory vasovagal syncope (VVS).
Methods: A total of 57 consecutive refractory VVS patients with severe symptom and positive response to head-up tilt test (HUT) were enrolled. There were 22 male at the mean age of (43 ± 13) years. The patients had no response or couldn’t tolerate routine treatment. LA model was re-established by three-dimensional mapping system, 10 patients received high-frequency stimulation technique for ganglionated plexi (GP) ablation and 47 received regional catheter ablation at 5 anatomic sites of GP for LA endocardial vagal denervation treatment. In-operative vagal response including hypotension, sinus bradycardia or asystole were observed, the endpoint of ablation was abolition of evoked vagal relfexes. Periodical follow-up was conducted to record the syncope recurrence and to re-examine ECG and HUT in all patients.
Results: There were 52/57(91.2%) patients had positive vagal response by radiofrequency application and reached the endpoint of ablation; 4 patients couldn’t receive obvious evoked vagal relfexes. During (36 ± 22) months follow-up period, there were 52 (91.2%) cases without syncope recurrence, 11 cases still having palpitation, amaurosis and dizziness as the precursors of syncope while the symptoms were much better then they were before. No complication occurred.
Conclusion: LA endocardial vagal denervation catheter ablation is a safe and effective method for treating the patients with refractory VVS, it may also effectively prevent VVS recurrence.

Objective To study the relationship between blood cell count and cardiac events in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with reperfusion in the early stage. Methods In this study, we assigned 151 patients to whom reperfusion therapy had been delivered within 3 hours of STEMI symptom into two groups:primary percutaneous cor-onary intervention group and thrombolysis therapy group. Differences of cardiac events and white blood cell count in these two groups were analyzed in the first 4 days. Results In the second day and the forth day, cardiac events rate and white blood cell count were significantly lower in the primary percutaneous coronary intervention group than those in the thromboly-sis therapy group (P<0.05). In the second day, white blood cell count has a positive correlation with cardiac events rate (r=0.226, P<0.05). Conclusion Primary percutaneous coronary intervention decreased blood cell count and cardiac events rate. In patients with acute myocardial infarction, increasing white blood cell was related to cardiac events in the near future.
