Objective: To investigate the forecasting value of serum fibroblast growth factor 23(FGF23) for major adverse cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: One hundred and five patients with ACS who underwent PCI in the First People′s Hospital of Tianmen City from June 2017 to June 2019 were enrolled. According to the happening of a MACE event occurs, the patients were divided into the MACE group (32 cases) and the non-MACE group (32 cases). The differences of general data, ultrasound indicators and biochemical indicators of patients between the two groups were compared. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors for MACE after PCI in patients with ACS. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to predict the predictive value of postoperative MACE in patients with ACS. Results: There were no significant difference in the comparison of general data such as age and gender between the two groups (P>0.05). The Global Registered Risk of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score in the MACE group was significantly higher than that in the non-MACE group [(119.18 ± 11.49) scores vs. (111.57 ± 9.31) scores, P<0.05]. Compared with the non-MACE group, the left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive (CRP), and FGF23 in the MACE group were significantly increased, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was significantly decreased [(52.04 ± 3.43) mm vs. (48.57 ± 3.69) mm, (509.48 ± 52.08) ng/L vs. (474.68 ± 89.27) ng/L, (9.61 ± 2.06) mg/L vs. (7.85 ± 0.83) mg/L, (504.73 ± 82.27) ng/L vs. (331.99 ± 81.68) ng/L, (34.77 ± 2.93)% vs. (37.80 ± 3.62)%] (P<0.05). Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that LVEF, CRP, and FGF23 were independent risk factors for MACE after PCI in patients with ACS (P<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that AUC of LVEF that predicted for MACE after PCI in patients with ACS was 0.747,and AUC of CRP and FGF23 were 0.772 and 0.944. The AUC of FGF23 was significantly higher than that of LVEF and CRP (Z = 3.867, 2.698, P<0.05). Conclusions Abnormal elevation of serum FGF23 is associated with cardiovascular adverse events after PCI in patients with ACS, which can be used as a serum indicator for early assessment of poor cardiovascular outcomes in patients.

Objective: To develop the early respiratory rehabilitation techniques in pediatric intensive care unit(PICU) for children with mechanical ventilation. Methods: A respiratory rehabilitation team was established, and early respiratory rehabilitation intervention methods for critically ill children were also developed.Early bedside rehabilitation were implemented after the vital signs of mechanical ventilation children were stable for 24 hours, and the rehabilitation effect and adverse events were observed. Results: According to the patient′s condition, 23 patients in PICU received early respiratory rehabilitation after incubations, including 10 males and 13 females, aged 57.0(17.5, 91.5) months.There was no adverse event in 729 rehabilitation practices.The average consulting time was 8.0(4.0, 18.0) days after incubations.The average incubation time was 693.5(345.2, 1 027.1)hours of all the patients.As to 16 patients who were weaned before charged out, the average incubation time was 566.2(243.4, 928.7)hours, and the average incubation time from respiratory rehabilitation performance to weaning was 168.0(6.0, 564.0) hours.In 19 patients who only received limbs massage and passive movements, the average incubation time was 381.7(309.6, 541.4) hours and the average incubation time from respiratory rehabilitation performance to weaning was 187.2(81.5, 382.9) hours.However the difference between these who received respiratory rehabilitation and only received limbs massage and passive movements was not statistically significant. Conclusion It′s safe and feasible to perform the early respiratory rehabilitation in PICU for critically ill children with mechanical ventilation.

Objective To observe the effects of Wenyang Baidu Yin on the serum liver DeRitis ratio [aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase (AST/ALT) ratio] and the level of renal neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in septic rats. Methods One hundred and twenty healthy male sprague-dawley (SD) rats were divided into normal control group, model group, western medicine treatment group, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) treatment group and combined medicine group by random number table method, with 24 rats in each group. Rat sepsis model was established by intra-peritoneal injection of E.coli endotoxin; after modeling for 2 hours, normal control group and model group were given normal saline intragastric administration, western medicine treatment group was given dexamethasone 2.5 mg/kg intra-gastric administration, TCM treatment group was given Wenyang Baidu Yin intragastric administration (honeysuckle 30 g, dandelion 30 g, aconite 30 g, mixed with water and after two times of boiling, the obtained liquid was concentrated and made into dry ointment for reserve, when the ointment was used, it was dissolved in warm water to 8 g/kg, administered by gavage, twice a day), the combined medicine group was given both the above TCM decoction and dexamethasone dosages by gavage. After modeling for 24, 48 and 72 hours, the differences of DeRitis ratio and NGAL levels were compared among various groups. Results The DeRitis ratio and NGAL level in the model group were significantly higher than those in the normal control group at 24, 48, 72 hours after modeling (DeRitis ratio: 4.14±0.53 vs. 2.08±0.37, 4.78±0.07 vs. 1.73±0.61, 4.83±0.31 vs. 1.05±0.20 respectively, NGAL was 2 412.73±368.03 vs. 837.52±142.98, 1 735.16±290.76 vs. 817.38±102.08, 1 838.43±295.44 vs. 847.82±140.14 respectively, all P < 0.05). The DeRitis ratios and NGAL levels of western medicine treatment group, TCM treatment group and combined medicine group were significantly lower than those of model group at each time point, and the decrease degree of combined medicine group was more significant, there were statistical differences 48 hours after modeling between combined medicine group and Western medicine treatment group and between combined group and TCM treatment group [DeRitis ratio: 3.09±0.15 vs. 3.68±0.44, 3.27±0.62, NGAL (ng/L):1 105.32±270.27 vs. 1 206.35±143.82, 1 526.53±289.02], and reached the lowest level until 72 hours [DeRitis ratio: 2.27±0.26 vs. 2.93±0.38, 2.61±0.54, NGAL (ng/L): 903.47±105.37 vs. 9 316.05±116.23, 1 025.14±152.68, all P < 0.05], showing the usage of combined therapeutic method in the aspect of improving DeRitis ratio and NGAL of septic rats was prominently superior than using either western medicine or TCM decoction alone. Conclusion Wenyang Baidu Yin can effectively reduce the liver DeRitis ratio and the kidney NGAL level in endotoxin-induced septic rats.

This paper studied the influence ofsurface preponderantfungi on main effective substances of CitriReticulatae Pericarpium (CRP).Spreading plate method was used to isolatepredominant strains from the surface of CRP.Besides,the method combining microscopic and molecular identification was also adopted.HPLC and UVspectrophotometric methods were used to determine the main effective substances in CRP.From thesurface of CRP,the advantage strain fungi were Aspergillusniger and A.Flavus.After the inoculation of A.Niger and A.flavus against CRP,the effective compositionwas changed.And different A.niger strains had differenceeffectiveness oneffective chemical components,especially one strain of A.niger.Compared withthe control group,contents of total flavonoids and hesperidin were significantly increased (P＜0.01);and five types of obvious new chemical compositions were produced.It was concluded that the metabolic transformation of fungi was related tochanges ofeffective substances of CRP,which played a significant role in the aging process of CRP.The growth and metabolism of fungi consumeeffeetive substances and producechanges of composition.From the perspective of microorganisms,"the older,the better" of CRP hasa better explanation.

Refined-JQ (JQ-R) is a mixture of refined extracts from(Ranunculaceae),(Leguminosae) and(Caprifoliaceae), the three major herbs of JinQi-JiangTang tablet, a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula. The mechanisms by which JQ-R regulates glucose metabolism and improves insulin sensitivity were studied in type 2 diabetic KKmice and insulin-resistant L6 myotubes. To investigate the mechanisms by which JQ-R improves insulin sensitivity, a model of insulin-resistant cells induced with palmitic acid (PA) was established in L6 myotubes. Glucose uptake and expression of factors involved in insulin signaling, stress, and inflammatory pathways were detected by immunoblotting. JQ-R showed beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance in a euglycemic clamp experiment and decreased fasting insulin levels in diabetic KKmice. JQ-R also improved the plasma lipid profiles. JQ-R directly increased the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and decreased malondialdehyde (MDA) as well as inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) levels in insulin-resistant L6 cells, and elevated the insulin-stimulated glucose uptake with upregulated phosphorylation of AKT. The phosphorylation levels of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-B p65), inhibitor of NF-B (IB), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK1/2) and extracellular-signal-regulated kinases (ERK1/2) were also changed after JQ-R treatment compared with the control group. Together these findings suggest that JQ-R improved glucose and lipid metabolism in diabetic KKmice. JQ-R directly enhanced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in insulin-resistant myotubes with improved insulin signalling and inflammatory response and oxidative stress. JQ-R could be a candidate to achieve improved glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

An efficient method for the analysis of multiclass plant growth regulators and pesticide (imidacloprid, acetamiprid) residues in tea was developed based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). The samples were extracted with acetonitrile/formic acid (99∶1, V/V) solution, cleaned up with four sorbents including C18, strong anion exchanger (SAX), primary secondary amine (PSA) and anhydrous MgSO4. The compounds were separated on a HSS T3 column under positive/negative electrospray ionization mode, detected by scheduled multiple reaction monitoring (SMRM), and quantified by matrix-matched external standard curves. All pesticide residues showed good linearity in the concentration range of 1-200 μg/L (6-benzylaminopurine, paclobutrazol, uniconazole, forchlorfenuron, mepiquat chloride, imidacloprid, acetamiprid) or 5-1000 μg/L (2,4-dichlor-ophenoxyacetic acid, 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, indole-3-acetic acid, gibberellic acid, 1-naphthaleneacetic acid, indole-3-butyric acid) , with correlation coefficient (R2≥0.99). Limits of detection (LOD, S/N=3) and limits of quantitation (LOQ, S/N=10) were 0.18-9.68 μg/kg and 0.61-32.26 μg/kg, respectively. In addition, the spiked recoveries of tea samples were 73.1％-108.9％, and RSDs were 0.6％-8.0％. This method was applied to commercial samples, and all the detections were confirmed by acquiring transitions for each pesticide in the samples.
