OBJECTIVE To establish characteristic chromatogram of Yao medicine Kadsura longipedunculata and the method for the content determination of its main component anwulignan, and evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of anwulignan. METHODS HPLC method was performed with acetonitrile-0.5% phosphoric acid solution as the mobile phase for gradient elution. The characteristic chromatogram of K. longipedunculata was established and similarity was evaluated by Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (2012 edition). The content of anwulignan in K. longipedunculata was determined. Lipopolysaccharide induced RAW264.7 macrophages were selected as inflammatory cell model to investigate the effects of anwulignan on the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-6. RESULTS The similarities of characteristic chromatogram for 10 batches of K. longipedunculata ranged 0.901-0.994, and 9 common peaks were determined; 3 components were identified, such as changnan schisantherin E, kadsulactone A, anwulignan. The contents of anwulignan were (0.72±0.05)-(1.21±0.03) mg/g(n=3). Anwulignan of 0.125-0.5 μg/mL greatly decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the supernatant of inflammatory model cells (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS HPLC characteristic chromatogram of K. longipedunculata and the method for the content determination of anwulignan are all established, and anwulignan may be the active ingredient of anti-inflammatory effect in K. longipedunculata.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the global cancer-associated thromboembolism risk assessment tools based on evidence- based methods, and to provide methodological reference and evidence-based basis for constructing a specific tool in China. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted on 6 databases, including CNKI, Wanfang data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, and Embase, as well as on the websites of NCCN, ASCO, ESMO and so on with a deadline of June 30, 2022. Furthermore, a supplementary search was conducted in January 2023. The essential characteristics and methodological quality of included risk assessment tools were described and analyzed qualitatively, focusing on comparing each assessment stratification ability. RESULTS Totally 14 risk assessment tools were included in the study, with a sample size of 208-18 956 cases and an average age distribution of 53.1-74.0 years. The applicable population included outpatient cancer student@sina.com patients, lymphoma patients, and multiple myeloma patients,etc. The common predictive factors were body mass index, venous thromboembolism history, and tumor site. All tools had undergone methodological validation, with 9 presented in a weighted scoring format. Only seven tools were used simultaneously for specificity, sensitivity, negative predictive value (NPV), positive predictive value (PPV) and area under the curve (AUC) or C statistical analysis. CONCLUSIONS The risk of bias in constructing existing tools is high, and the heterogeneity of tool validation results is significant. The overall methodological quality must be improved, and its risk stratification ability must also be investigated. There are still certain limitations in clinical practice in China.

Objective To evaluate the application of clinical Screening Tool for the Assessment of Malnutrition in Pediatrics (STAMP),and to investigate the nutritional risks of inpatient children with gastroenterological diseases in Sichuan province and their associated clinical characteristics and the features of hygiene economics.Methods STAMP was utilized for nutrition screening of inpatient children with gastroenterological diseases in Chengdu Women and Children's Central Hospital from January 2015 to March 2017.All the enrolled children were divided into 3 groups according to the STAMP scores:low risk group (LR group),moderate risk group (MR group) and high risk group (HR group).Clinical and economic data were compared among 3 groups.Results A total of 3 672 assessments were accomplished,including 2 372 times for males and 1 300 times for females (< 2 years old:2 021 times,2-5 years old:803 times,>5 years old:848 times).Among them,147 children were identified as LR(4.00%),2 296 children as MR (62.53%),and 1 229 children as HR (33.47%).Statistically significant differences were observed among 3 groups in average length of hospital stay (P <0.001),the total cost at hospital (P <0.001),drug cost (P < 0.001),antibiotic use (x2 =21.66,P < 0.001),parenteral nutrition administration (x2 =46.43,P < 0.001),blood products use (x2 =45.00,P < 0.001),while there was no significant difference in re-admissions for over 3 times (P > 0.05).Malnutrition rate was 4.08% (6/147 cases) in LR group,2.05% (47/2 296 cases) in MR group and 31.90% (392/1 229 cases) in HR group,respectively,and among them 146 patients were diagnosed as severe malnutrition.Digestive tract infections were the most common diseases in MR group(66.33%,1 523/2 296 cases) and HR group(68.27%,839/1 229 cases).Moreover,children with stomatitis,gastrointestinal postoperation,acute pancreatitis,inflammatory bowel disease,esophageal diseases,digestive malformations,cyclic vomiting,malnutrition,and acute intestinal obstruction were all in HR group.Conclusions Nutritional risk is likely to raise the burden of disease.STAMP is applicabile clinically when it is utilized for nutrition risk screening of inpatient children with gastroenterological diseases in Sichuan province and provides evidence for nutrition support treatment.

[Objective]To study effect of pain and stress response of NiTi rotary instrument for children with root canal therapy , and analyzed possible mechanisms.[Methods]60 cases(60 teeth)children with Dental pulp disease or root tip disease by root canal therapy from March 2015 to March 2017 were divided into observation group and control group. The control group used Hand NiTi en-larging file,observation group used NiTi rotary instruments,then root canal preparation,stress response,pain,filling effect and long-term efficacy were compared between two groups.[Result]The observation group root canal preparation time were significantly shorter than control group(P < 0.01),root canal deviation etc morphological changes(6.67%)was significantly lower than control group(26.67%,P < 0.05);gingival crevicular fluid TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β were significantly lower than control group(P < 0.05, P < 0.01). In root canal preparation,after root canal preparation,pain rate were significantly lower than control group(10.00% vs 33.33%,3.33% vs 23.33%,P < 0.05);1 week after surgery,just fill rate(93.33%)was significantly higher than control group (70.00%,P<0.05). Followed up 6 months,root canal success rate(90.00%)was significantly higher than control group(66.67%, P<0.05).[Conclusion]NiTi rotary instruments help to reduce the pain in children with root canal,improve clinical efficacy,May be related to inhibition of surgical stress response.
