Objective:To establish methods for HPLC fingerprints and simultaneous determination of multi-index components before and after compatibility of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Angelica sinensis, so as to analyze the dissolution rate of the main compounds. Methods:The extracts of Salvia miltiorrhiza, Angelica sinensis and their compatibility were prepared. The separation was performed on an Eclipse XDB-C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm), mobile phase with 0.1% phosphoric acid aqueous solution-acetonitrile for gradient elution, flow rate at 1.0 ml/min, column temperature was maintained at 35 ℃, and the detection wavelength was set at 280 nm. The HPLC fingerprint were established before and after the compatibility of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Angelica sinensis, and the shared patterns of the fingerprint were obtained to gain chromatographic peaks. The content of 9 components Danshensu, caffeic acid, rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acid B, salvianolic acid A, tanshinone Ⅱ A, ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid and Yangchuanxiong lactone were determinated, and the changes of dissolution rate of each compound before and after the compatibility were analyzed. Results:The determination method for the multi- components with HPLC is precise and the components (waiting to be determinate) in the solution were stable within 48 hours, and the RSD values of each chromatographic peak were <5.0%. The nine components showed good linear relationships within their own ranges, and the recovery rate was in compliance with regulations. The fingerprint similarities of each sample were ?0.9. After the compatibility of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Angelica sinensis, a total of seventeen common peaks were calibrated, ten of which were from Salvia miltiorrhiza, seven from Angelica sinensis. No new components was found under this chromatographic condition. After the combination of these two material medicica decoction, the average dissolution rates of rosmarinic acid, salvianolic acids and Danshensu in Salvia miltiorrhiza were significantly lower than those of the single decoction group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01); the average dissolution rates of caffeic acid in Salvia miltiorrhiza was significantly higher than that of the single decoction group ( P<0.01); the average dissolution rates of chlorogenic acid and ferulic acid in Angelica sinensis were significantly higher than that of the single decoction group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01); the average dissolution rate of Yangchuanxiong lactone after the compatibility was not statistically different than that of single decoction group. Conclusion:The characteristic peaks of HPLC fingerprint of the compatibility of Salvia miltiorrhiza and Angelica sinensis did not increase under this chromatographic condition, which had a significant effect on the dissolution of index components.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of single breath-hold TFE-EPI in non-contrast coronary MRA on 3.0 T MRI.Methods:Both single breath-hold TFE-EPI and free breathing TFE were conducted in 23 healthy volunteers. Acquisition time between the two sequences were compared by paired- t-test analysis. Signal-noise-ratio (SNR), contrast-noise-ratio (CNR),image artifacts and distortion,vessel acuity were evaluated on the aorta(Ao), right coronary artery proximal(RCA-pro), right coronary artery middle (RCA-mid), left anterior descending proximal(LAD-pro) and left circumflex proximal(LCX-pro). Nonparametric analyses were conducted for the comparison. Results:The acquisition time decreased 96.51% in TFE-EPI compared with TFE [(16.3±2.2)s vs.(466.9±101.3)s, t=21.49, P<0.01]. There was no statistical significance in SNR comparison in all the vessel evaluation (all the P>0.05). TFE-EPI showed better CNR in RCA-mid than TFE ( Z=2.65, P=0.008). TFE-EPI showed less image artifacts and distortion in RCA-mid than TFE ( Z=2.00, P=0.046). TFE-EPI also showed better vessel acuity in both RCA-pro and RCA-mid than TFE ( Z=3.88, P<0.001; Z=3.42, P=0.001). Conclusion:Single breath-hold TFE-EPI could greatly shorten scan time while ensuring image quality in coronal artery imaging and has a broad application in future.

Objective To synthesize a novel prostate cancer targeting gene vector PAMAM-PEG-C2min and improve gene transfection efficiency targeting on prostate cancer. Methods The aptamer (C2min) and polyamide-amine (PAMAM) were ligated by polyethylene glycol (PEG). The structure of the synthesized PAMAM-PEG-C2min was identified by NMR. The biological characteristics of the nanoparticles were examined by the uptake experiments and gene transfection experiments (the loaded gene was siR-M) with the prostate cancer cells (PC3 and LNCaP). Besides, the in vivo targeting was investigated using in vivo image system. The in vivo targeting results indicated that PAMAM-PEG-C2min can achieve the simultaneous targeting of two prostate cancer tissues. Results The PAMAM-PEG-C2min synthesis was confirmed by NMR. Cell uptake experiments showed that the cell uptake efficiency of PAMAM-PEG-C2min was concentration dependent. In vitro experiments showed that the PC3 and LNCaP cells transfection efficiency and targeting of PAMAM-PEG modified with C2min were significantly improved compared with the PEG modified PAMAM. Conclusion PAMAM-PEG-C2min is a potential targeted drug delivery vehicle. It provides a new technology platform for comprehensive and specific targeting treatment of prostate cancer.

Objective To analyze the prognostic impact of Ikaros family zinc finger 1(IKZF1)mutation on adult Philadelphia chromosome (Ph1) positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients.Methods IKZF1 mutation was detected in 63 adult Phi positive ALL patients at diagnosis using capillary electrophoresis.Recruited patients were treated in our center and other three hospitals in Ningbo from January 2014 to January 2017.Clinical data were collected and retrospectively analyzed.Results Thirty-nine (61.9％) patients were positive IKZF1 mutation in this cohort.The white blood cell (WBC) count in IKZF1 mutation group was significantly higher than that of mutation negative group [(64.6±11.3)× 109/L vs.(33.7±5.6)×109/L,P＜0.05].Patients with WBC count over 30×109/L accounted for 56.4％ in IKZF1 mutation group.Complete remission (CR) rate in the IKZF1 mutation group was also lower than that of negative group after induction chemotherapy (64.1％ vs.75.0％,P＞0.05).IKZF1 was a negative prognostic factor but not independent factor for survival by univariate and multivariate analyses.Patients were divided into chemotherapy and allogeneic transplantation groups.The 3-year overall survival (OS) rate and 3-year leukemia-free survival (LFS) rate in IKZF1 mutation group were significantly lower than those of negative group in both transplantation group (42.3％ vs.59.3％;31.2％ vs.50.0％;respectively,both P＜0.05) and chemotherapy group (24.8％ vs.40.0％;19.0％ vs.34.3％;respectively,both P＜0.05).Conclusion IKZF1 mutation is a poor prognostic factor for adult Ph1 positive ALL patients.

Objective To study the surgical treatment of hepatic hemangiomas and the timing of surgery.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 908 patients with giant hemangiomas who underwent surgery between December 1997 and December 2017.The clinical data,surgical indications,surgical outcomes,lesion size,and the effect of TAE were compared.Results The diameter (mean + /-S.D.)of the resected hepatic cavernous hemangiomas was (11.1 ± 6.2) cm (the longest diameter was 60 cm).585 patients (64.4％) underwent enucleation of hepatic hemangiomas and 323 patients (35.6％) underwent anatomical hepatectomy.Six patients died perioperatively (mortality rate 0.7％).The incidence of severe complication (Clavien-Dindo grade 3 ～ 5) was 3.8％.The incidence of severe postoperative complication for enucleation (2.7％) was significantly less than anatomic liver resection (5.6％,P ＜0.05).When the lesion was more than 20 cm,the complication and mortality rates were significantly higher than those less than 20 cm (P ＜ 0.05).The complication and mortality rates in patients who underwent TAE before surgery were significantly higher than those without TAE (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Surgical enucleation of hemangiomas was superior to anatomical hepatectomy.With increase in tumor size,the risk of surgery increased.Surgical treatment was safe and effective for giant hepatic hemangiomas.For giant hepatic hemangiomas with significant increase in size,prompt surgical treatment is recommended.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical features, biochemical change and genetic mutations of a neonate with congenital bile acid synthesis disorder type 2.

METHODSClinical features, blood biochemical index, gene analysis and treatment of the patient were reviewed.

RESULTSThe patient presented with the symptoms of jaundice 3 days after birth but without skin itching. Pale stool was noted. Subsequently, he presented with hepatomegaly, blood coagulation disorders, left cochlear nerve damage, liver cirrhosis and remarkable growth retardation. Serum biochemistries showed that bilirubin and transaminase were elevated, while γ -GT and total bile acid was normal. Abdominal ultrasonography indicated decline of gallbladder contraction. Cholangiography showed normal extra- and intrahepatic bile ducts and patent biliary tract. Liver biopsy showed intrahepatic cholestasis. Gene testing has identified a homozygous mutation in AKR1D1 gene.

CONCLUSIONCongenital bile acid synthesis disorder should be suspected when a neonate has presented with jaundice, elevated bilirubin and transaminase, normal or reduced TBA and γ -GT. Genetic testing and urine mass spectrometry analysis can diagnose congenital bile acid synthesis disorder. Early therapy is crucial to patients with congenital bile acid synthesis disorder.

Objective To evaluate the incidence of net adverse clinical and cerebral events (NACCE) 1 year after implantation of biodegradable polymer stents (BP-SES) in elderly patients with coronary artery disease.Methods The clinical data of patients inserted with BP-SES in I-LOVE-IT 2 Trial were retrospectively analyzed, including 1829 elderly patients admitted in the General Hospital of Shenyang Military Command from Oct. 2012 to Jun. 2013, of which 62 cases aged equal to and more than 65 years (elderly group) and 1202 cases less than 65 years (non-elderly group). The primary end-point of this research was target lesion failure (TLF) rate on 12 months and the secondary end-point was the incidence of NACCE, including all-cause death, all myocardial infarction, stroke and severe hemorrhage (BARC type ≥3), and then the multiple regression analysis was performed.Results The Baseline conditions of the two groups were significantly different (P<0.05) including BMI, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, family history of coronary heart disease, smoking history, past stroke history, history of peripheral vascular disease and stable angina pectoris. When comparing elderly group with non-elderly group, marked differences existed on the incidence of NACCE (10.0%vs. 5.2%,P<0.01), all-cause mortality (2.7%vs. 0.7%,P<0.01), myocardial infarction (5.6%vs. 3.5%,P=0.03), stent thrombosis (1.9%vs. 0.5%,P<0.01) and stroke (2.2%vs. 0.8%,P=0.01). Multiple regression analysis revealed that elderly (age ≥65) was the independent predictive factor for NACCE (OR=1.904, 95%CI 1.304-2.781,P=0.001).ConclusionThe incidence of NACCE is increased significantly in elderly patients (age ≥65), and elderly is an independent predictive factors for 12-month NACCE in patients implanted with BP-SES

OBJECTIVETo observe the law of the meridian abnormal changes and the correlation with acupuncture efficacy based on the effectiveness study of electroacupuncture (EA) in treatment of severe functional constipation.

METHODSSeventy patients of severe functional constipation were randomized into an EA group and a sham-EA group, 35 cases in each one. In the EA group, Tianshu (ST 25) and Fujie (SP 14) were punctured deeply and stimulated with EA (dense-disperse wave, 2Hz/15 Hz, 0. 1 to 1. 0 mA), and Shangjuxu (ST 37) was needled. In the sham-EA group, the sites lateral to Tianshu (ST 25) and Fujie (SP 14) were punctured shallowly and stimulated with electricity. The site lateral to Shangjuxu (ST 37) was punctured shallowly. The treatment was given continuously for 8 weeks in the two groups, 5 times weekly in the first 2 weeks and 3 times weekly in the rest 6 weeks. WANG Juyi's meridian examination method was applied to detect the abnormalities of the spleen, stomach and large intestine meridians before treatment, and in 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks among 70 patients separately. The frequency of complete spontaneous bowel movement (CSBM) every two weeks, meridian abnormal value and the relativity with CSBM change rate were compared in the patients between two groups.

RESULTSRegarding the increase of CSBM frequency, the effect started since the 2nd week in the EA group, with the treatment going on, CSBM frequency was increased apparently (all P<0. 05). In the sham-EA group, after 6 and 8-weeks of treatment, CSBM frequency was increased apparently as compared with that before treatment (all P<0. 05). The increase of CSBM frequency in the EA group was remarkably as compared with the sham-EA group at every time point (all P<0. 05). The abnormal value of the large intestine meridian in 2 weeks of treatment and the values of the stomach and spleen meridians and the relevant meridians in 4 weeks of treatment were all reduced apparently as compared with those in the baseline in the EA group (all P<0. 05). With the treatment time going on, the abnormal reflections on the large intestine and stomach meridians were reduced gradually (all P<0. 05), and the total change rate of abnormalities on the large intestine, stomach and spleen meridians presented the negative correlation with the total change rate of CSBM frequency (P<0. 01, P<0. 05).

CONCLUSIONIn the EA group, the efficacy on CSBM frequency in severe functional constipation is advantageous and stable as compared with the sham-EA group. Acupuncture at the relevant acupoints of the spleen, stomach and large intestine meridians achieves the definite regulation to the meridian abnormalities. It is discovered that the abnormal changes in the spleen, stomach
