ObjectiveTaking the oligosaccharides in Rehmanniae Radix(RR) as the research object, the content determination method based on high performance liquid chromatography-evaporative light scattering detection(HPLC-ELSD) and thin layer chromatography(TLC) identification method were established to explore the content and distribution of oligosaccharides in different RR herbs and decoction pieces. MethodA total of 10 batches of fresh and raw RR, 12 batches of RR decoction pieces and Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata(RRP) were collected. A TLC identification method for fructose, sucrose, manninotriose, raffinose and stachyose in RR was established by using silica gel G thin-layer plates with ethyl acetate-water-anhydrous formic acid-glacial acetic acid(12∶6∶5∶4) as the developing agent and 10% sulfuric acid-ethanol solution as chromogenic agent. A HPLC-ELSD was used to determine the contents of fructose, glucose, sucrose, melibiose, raffinose, manninotriose and stachyose in different RR herbs and decoction pieces. Then principal component analysis(PCA) and partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) were used to analyze the contents of 7 kinds of saccharides in RR herbs and decoction pieces, and the differential components were screened with the value of variable importance in the projection(VIP)>1. ResultThe results of TLC identification showed that fresh RR, raw RR and its decoction pieces showed spots of the same color on the corresponding positions with the control products of stachyose, raffinose and sucrose, while the TLC of RRP showed spots of the same color at corresponding positions to manninotriose and fructose controls. The results of methodological investigations of 7 analytes met the requirements of determination. Only glucose, sucrose, raffinose and stachyose were detected in 10 batches of fresh RR and 10 batches of raw RR herbs, the average contents of which were 0.84%, 4.62%, 2.42% and 57.90% in fresh samples, while those were 3.16%, 9.36%, 7.05% and 38.10% in raw samples, respectively. In 12 batches of RR decoction pieces, the contents of the above seven sugars(fructose, glucose, sucrose, melibiose, raffinose, manninotriose and stachyose) were 1.68%, 4.27%, 9.96%, 0.53%, 6.85%, 3.05% and 37.52%, respectively. In 12 batches of RRP, the contents of the above seven sugars were 10.62%, 11.01%, 1.25%, 3.35%, 1.12%, 28.16% and 6.39%, respectively. The results of multivariate statistical analysis showed that fresh RR, raw RR and RRP could be distinguished from each other by the contents of the 7 sugars, and the main differential components were stachyose, sucrose, raffinose and manninotriose. ConclusionIn terms of oligosaccharides, the contents and types of saccharides in different herbs and decoction pieces of RR are quite different, and the TLC identification method based on this can be used to distinguish raw RR from RRP, which can lay a foundation for improving the quality standard of RR and developing and applying oligosaccharides in different processed products of RR.

ObjectiveTo establish a quantitative analysis multi-components by single marker method (QAMS) for five main components (aucubin, geniposidic acid, chlorogenic acid, asperuloside and rutin) in Eucommiae Folium, to verify its feasibility and applicability in the determination of Eucommiae Folium, so as to provide a scientific basis for the development of quality standard of this herb. MethodHigh performance liquid chromatography was performed on a Welch Boltmatetm™ C18 column (4.6 mm×100 mm, 2.7 μm) with methanol (A)-0.2% phosphoric acid aqueous solution (B) as the mobile phase for gradient elution (0-8 min, 3%A; 8-10 min, 3%-11%A; 10-26 min, 11%A; 26-27 min, 11%-25%A; 27-60 min, 25%-32%A), the column temperature was set at 30 ℃, the flow rate was 0.6 mL·min-1, the detection wavelengths were at 210 nm and 254 nm. Chlorogenic acid was used as an internal reference to establish the relative correction factors (f) between it and the other four components, and the contents of the five components in 14 batches of Eucommiae Folium were determined by QAMS and external standard method (ESM), respectively. ResultThe f values of chlorogenic acid to aucubin, geniposidic acid, asperuloside and rutin were 3.13, 1.45, 2.64 and 0.56, respectively. Repeatability was good under different experimental conditions, relative standard deviation (RSD) was <5.0%. The contents of aucubin, geniposidic acid, chlorogenic acid, asperuloside and rutin in 14 batches of Eucommiae Folium were 1.340-28.975, 0.252-36.086, 10.016-27.443, 1.396-8.646, 0.533-1.766 mg·g-1, respectively. There were no significant difference between content results of QAMS and that of ESM (RSD<5.0%). ConclusionQAMS established with chlorogenic acid as the internal reference can be used to determine the contents of five components in Eucommiae Folium, and this method is simple and accurate. After comprehensive evaluation, the quality standard of Eucommiae Folium in subsequent editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia is suggested that three main active components, chlorogenic acid, aucubin and geniposidic acid, are selected as quality markers, and their content limits are recommended not less than 1.5%, 1.0% and 1.0%, respectively. This quality standard draft can avoid the potential quality risk due to poor specificity and low content limit of the index component (chlorogenic acid) in the previous editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

ObjectiveIn order to explore the utilization value of the seeds dropped in the harvesting, processing, storage and transportation of Prunellae Spica, the character, turgidity and chemical composition of the seeds were analyzed and compared with those of the commercially available varieties, such as chia seeds and basil seeds. MethodCharacter was observed directly. The turgidity was determined according to the method of general rule 2101 of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part Ⅳ, the 2020 edition). The contents of six phenolic acids (danshensu, protocatechuic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde, caffeic acid, salviaflaside and rosmarinic acid) were determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), acetonitrile (A)-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution (B) was used as mobile phase for gradient elution (0-7 min, 2%-8%A; 7-13 min, 8%A; 13-14 min, 8%-17%A; 14-30 min, 17%A), the detection wavelength was at 280 nm. The liposoluble components were extracted by n-hexane and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the contents of five fatty acids, namely palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, linolic acid and α-linolenic acid, were determined on a DB-35MS capillary column (0.25 mm×60.0 m, 0.25 µm), the injection temperature was 250 ℃, the carrier gas was high-purity helium with a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1 and the splitting ratio of 50∶1. The volatile oil was extracted by steam distillation method and its components were identified by GC-MS on a WM-5MS capillary column (0.25 mm×30.0 m, 0.25 µm) with the injection temperature of 250 ℃, the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1 and the splitting ratio of 10∶1. ResultPrunellae Spica seeds were slightly smaller than chia seeds and basil seeds, and their color of seed coat was obviously different. Prunellae Spica seeds had strong water absorption and swelling characteristics, and the turgidity was 17.4 mL·g-1, which was lower than that of chia seeds (25.2 mL·g-1) and basil seeds (35.6 mL·g-1). Prunellae Spica seeds were rich in phenolic and fatty acids, while the content of volatile oil was very low. The main phenolic acids were salviaflaside and rosmarinic acid, with the contents of 0.579% and 0.392%, respectively. The total content of five fatty acids in n-hexane extract was 90.1%, and total content of unsaturated fatty acids was 80.6%, among which content of α-linolenic acid was 50.0%, which was slightly lower than 57.2% of chia seeds and similar to 50.0% of basil seeds. ConclusionPrunellae Spica seeds have good turgidity, rich in phenolic acids and unsaturated fatty acids, and especially with high amount of α-linolenic acid. It is worthy of being developed as functional food to realize comprehensive utilization of the waste resources of Prunellae Spica.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical effectiveness and safety of domestic generic and imported original clopidogrel for antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). METHODS The clinical data of ACS patients in Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of China Pharmaceutical University from January 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected by using electronic medical record system, and the patients were divided into original drug group (321 cases) and generic drug group (328 cases) according to the drug use. Both groups were given dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin. The effectiveness and safety outcomes of the two groups were followed up for 12 months and compared, the related influential factors were analyzed. RESULTS Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) occurred in 16 and 22 patients in original drug group and generic drug group respectively, including nonfatal myocardial infarction (4 and 5 cases), stroke (2 and 4 cases), revascularization (8 and 3 cases), cardiovascular related death (2 and 4 cases), and all-cause death (4 and 6 cases). There were 12 and 7 patients with major bleeding events, 38 and 29 patients with minor bleeding events, and 33 and 21 patients with non-bleeding adverse events. There was no statistically significant difference in the cumulative incidence of related events (P values of Log-Rank tests were all greater than 0.05). Cox regression analysis showed that the use of generic clopidogrel did not increase the risk of MACE and major bleeding events in ACS patients [hazard ratio of 1.305 and 0.416, 95% confidence interval of (0.678, 2.512) and (0.155, 1.117), respectively, P>0.05], and the combination of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) could reduce the risk of major bleeding events [hazard ratio of 0.196, 95% confidence interval of (0.063, 0.611), P<0.05]. CONCLUSIONS Compared with imported original drug, domestic generic clopidogrel has similar clinical effectiveness and good safety. Combined use of PPI may be a beneficial factor to reduce the occurrence of major bleeding events in patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of surgery under propofol anesthesia during mid-pregnancy on the cognitive function and hippocampal histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2)-cAMP response element-binding protein (CREB)-N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor 2B subunit (NR2B)-containing NMDA receptor (NR2B) signaling pathway in the offspring rats.Methods:Thirty healthy Sprague-Dawley rats at 14 days of gestation were divided into 3 groups ( n=10 each) using a random number table method: propofol anesthesia group (P group), surgery under propofol anesthesia group (S group) and control group (C group). In S group, propofol 20 mg/kg was injected via the caudal vein, and then propofol was continuously infused at a rate of 20 mg·kg -1·h -1 to maintain anesthesia for 4 h, and exploratory laparotomy was performed. Group P received no exploratory laparotomy and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group S. The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group C. The learning and memory of the offspring rats was assessed using Morris water maze test on postnatal day 30. The expression of HDAC2, phosphorylated CREB (p-CREB), NR2B, brain-derived neurotriphic factor (BDNF) and phosphorylated tyrosine kinase B (p-TrkB) in offspring′s hippocampi was evaluated by Western blot. Apoptosis in hippocampal neurons was detected by TUNEL staining. Results:Compared with group C, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased, the time spent in the second quadrant was shortened, the expression of HDAC2 was up-regulated, the expression of p-CREB, NR2B, BDNF and p-TrkB was down-regulated, and the apoptosis rate of the hippocampal neurons was increased in P and S groups ( P<0.05). Compared with P group, the escape latency was significantly prolonged, the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased, the time spent in the second quadrant was shortened, the expression of HDAC2 was up-regulated, the expression of p-CREB, NR2B, BDNF and p-TrkB was down-regulated, and the apoptosis rate of the hippocampal neurons was increased in S group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Surgery under propofol anesthesia during mid-pregnancy can decrease the cognitive function of offspring rats, and the mechanism is related to the regulation of HDAC2-CREB-NR2B signaling pathway and the promotion of apoptosis in hippocampal neurons.

Stent-assisted coil embolization is a common endovascular treatment for ruptured/unruptured intracranial aneurysms. Stent implantation process can damage vascular endothelium, activate platelet and coagulation cascade, and then increase the risk of thrombosis. In order to reduce the risk of postoperative embolism, antiplatelet therapy is required. Among them, aspirin combined with clopidogrel dual antiplatelet therapy is a commonly used strategy. For patients with low response to clopidogrel, tigrelol or cilostazol can be used as an alternative drug. Although the scheme has been considered to be effective and safe, it is still controversial.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.
