Objective To evaluate cognitive function and its influencing factors in psoriasis patients.Methods A total of 129 patients with psoriasis who were admitted to the Psoriasis Diagnosis and Treatment Center of the Dermatology Department of the hospital from August 2022 to August 2023 were selected as the study objects.General data questionnaire and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic Scale(MoCA-B)were used to investigate cognitive function,and the status quo of cognitive function and influencing factors of psori-asis patients were analyzed.Results The subjects had a total cognitive function score of 12 to 30.There were 90 cases(69.77%)with normal cognitive function and 39 cases(30.23%)with cognitive impairment.Execu-tive function,verbal fluency,computation,abstract thinking,memory,visual perception,naming,attention and MoCA-B scores in patients with cognitive impairment were lower than in patients with normal cognitive func-tion(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that age(OR=1.059),years of education(OR=0.855)and pathogenesis(OR=0.185)were the factors affecting the cognitive function of psoriasis patients(P<0.05).Conclusion Pay attention to the cognitive screening of patients with psoriasis and provide cognitive in-tervention early.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the chemical constituents from the leaves of Jatropha curcas and evaluate their inhibition on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated BV-2 microglia cells.
METHODS:
The n-BuOH extract of the leaves of J. curcas was isolated by macroporous adsorption resin, silica gel, ODS, column chromatography and semi-preparative HPLC. The structures of the compounds were identified by MS, NMR, ECD, and other spectroscopic methods. In addition, anti-neuroinflammatory effects of isolated compounds were evaluated by measuring the production of nitric oxide (NO) in over-activated BV-2 cells.
RESULTS:
Seventeen compounds, including (7R,8S)-crataegifin A-4-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 1), (8R,8'R)-arctigenin ( 2), arctigenin-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 3), (-)-syringaresinol ( 4), syringaresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 5), (-)-pinoresinol ( 6), pinoresinol-4'-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 7), buddlenol D ( 8), (2R,3R)-dihydroquercetin ( 9), (2S,3S)-epicatechin ( 10), (2R,3S)-catechin ( 11), isovitexin ( 12), naringenin-7-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 13), chamaejasmin ( 14), neochamaejasmin B ( 15), isoneochamaejasmin A ( 16), and tomentin-5-O-β-D-glucopyranoside ( 17) were isolated and identified. Compounds 2, 4 and 8 significantly inhibited the release of NO in BV-2 microglia activated by LPS, with IC50 values of 18.34, 29.33 and 26.30 μmol/L, respectively.
CONCLUSION
Compound 1 is a novel compound, and compounds 2, 3, 8, 14- 17 are isolated from Jatropha genus for the first time. In addition, the lignans significantly inhibited NO release and the inhibitory activity was decreased after glycosylation.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility and safety of laparoendoscopic single-site combined with transurethral approach for unilateral retrograde nephroureterectomy in the treatment of upper urinary tract epithelial carcinoma.Methods:The clinical data of 12 patients from January 2018 to November 2019 with unilateral retrograde nephroureterectomy were analyzed retrospectively. There were 7 males and 5 females with an average age of 65.9 years, the age ranged from 50 to 78 years.There were 8 cases with left ureteral tumor, 6 cases with left renal pelvis tumor, 4 cases with right tumor(2 cases of right ureteral tumor and 2 cases of right renal pelvis tumor). Surgical methods: 1470 laser sleeve was used to remove the inner segment of the ureter bladder wall after the lower ureter was clipped through abdominal approach, and the urethra was inserted under the guidance of zebra guide wire.The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative auxiliary cannula, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative drainage tube removal time, intraoperative and postoperative complications, postoperative pathology were recorded.Results:All of the operations were successful. The mean operation time was 194(135-260)min, the mean estimated blood loss was 50(25-100) ml, and the mean hospitalization time was 11.6(5-24)d. Among the 12 patients, 8 patients had abdominal drainage tube after operation. The mean time for drainage was 6.8(3-11)d. One patient added a 5 mm ancillary port.One patient had urinary leakage at the bladder anastomotic site, the catheter was removed 3 weeks later. The other patients had no postoperative incision infection, fever, bleeding, venous thrombosis and other related complications.No patient received blood transfusion and the pathological margin was negative. The median follow-up time was 12 months (5-15 months). One patient died of lumbar metastasis 8 months after operation, and others were neither tumor recurrence nor distant metastasis.Conclusions:The application of laparoendoscopic single-site combined with transurethral approach for unilateral retrograde nephroureterectomy in the treatment of upper urinary tract epithelial carcinoma is safe, accurate and effective, with less trauma and less bleeding. It is worth applying in clinical practice.

Objective: To understand the medication compliance of inpatients with essential hypertension, analyze the influencing factors in medication compliance of the patients and perform the targeted medication education and pharmaceutical care.Methods: Medication education and guide were conducted in 50 cases of patients with essential hypertension based on the main contents in guidelines for prevention of hypertension.Every patient completed regular follow-ups in two months after being recruited.The relevant information about the treatment and medication were collected and analyzed.Results: Through the medication education and pharmaceutical care, the patients had a better understanding on the relevant knowledge of hypertension, rational drug use and treatment.Among the 50 patients, the percentage of completely following the doctor's advice on the hypertension medication was 86%, that of quitting smoking and limiting alcohol was 82%, and that of optimized life way was 78%, and totally 82% of the patients effectively controlled blood pressure or improved markedly when compared with the situation on admission.Conclusion: Medication education and pharmaceutical care conducted by clinical pharmacists is very important for the patients with high blood pressure.It can help patients build a good lifestyle or improve the quality of life by improving the medication compliance of patients, alleviating complications and reducing adverse drug reactions.
