A domestically produced self-expanding transcatheter aortic valve controllable bending delivery system(VitaFlow? Ⅲcontrollable bending retrievable delivery system)was first used to perform transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)in a symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis patient with severe heart failure and high risk of surgery in China on September 22,2023.The patient successfully completed TAVR under general anesthesia,with good valve position and function after the operation.Before discharge and at one month of follow-up,the patient's symptoms and degree of heart failure were significantly improved.The follow-up results of this case showed that the VitaFlow? Ⅲ controllable bending retrievable delivery system for TAVR is safe and feasible,and future prospective,multicenter clinical trials are expected to evaluate its efficacy.

Aflatoxin B1(AFB1)is a secondary metabolite produced by Aspergillus aflatoxin and Aspergillus parasiticus.It has strong immunotoxicity and carcinogenicity and seriously harms the health of humans and livestock.Therefore,this study aims to explore the effect of selenomethionine(SeMet)in alleviating AFB1-induced thymic damage.Fifty 35-day-old rabbits were randomly divid-ed into 5 groups,with 10 rabbits in each group.They are the control group,AFB1 group,AFB1+0.2Se group(0.2 mg/kg SeMet),AFB1+0.4Se group(0.4 mg/kg SeMet)and AFB1+0.6Se group(0.6 mg/kg SeMet).The test period was 21 d.On the 17th day,each rabbit in the AFB1 group and each SeMet group was gavaged with AFB1(0.3 mg/kg)every day for 5 consecutive days.Rabbit thymus tissue was taken for HE,TUNEL and PCNA detection.ELISA was used to detect the ex-pression of inflammatory factors in thymus tissue,and GSH-Px,T-AOC and MDA kits were used to detect oxidative stress indicators in thymus tissue.The results showed that AFB1 exposure caused a very significant increase in MDA levels in rabbit thymus tissue by 116.04％,and a signifi-cant decrease in the activities of antioxidant enzymes GSH-Px and T-AOC by 29.20％and 52.17％respectively.In addition,AFB1 induced an inflammatory response in the thymus,promoting TNF-a secretion to increase by 124.71％,IL-6 by 174.72％,and IL-1β by 62.38％compared with the con-trol group.SeMet pretreatment significantly improved the pathological changes of the thymus in rabbits and reduced its oxidative stress and inflammatory response.Therefore,we confirmed that SeMet alleviates AFB1-induced thymic damage and improves the immune performance of rabbits.

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.

Objective    To investigate the clinical efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and pleurodesis for spontaneous pneumothorax. Methods    A retrospective analysis of 157 patients with spontaneous pneumothorax undergoing VATS from January 2012 to March 2016 in our hospital was done. According to different treatments, patients were divided into two groups: a group A (65 patients receving pleurodesis, 52 males and 13 females with a mean age of 34.77 years ranging from 17 to 73 years) and a group B (92 patients without pleurodesis, 76 males and 16 females with a mean age of 34.66 years ranging from 16 to 72 years). In the group A 29 patients underwent closed thoracic drainage; while in the group B there were 39 patients. Results    The patients were followed up for 3 months to 4 years. The recurrence rate of the group A was lower than that of the group B, but the difference was not statistically significant. For patients receving closed thoracic drainage preoperatively, intraoperative drainage volume at postoperative 24 h in the group A was more than that of the group B, but postoperative hospital stay was less than that of the group B (P<0.05). For patients not receving closed thoracic drainage preoperatively, drainage volume at postoperative 24 h, total drainage volume, postoperative hospital stay in the group A were more than those of the group B (P<0.05). Conclusion    Pleurodesis can not reduce the recurrence rate of spontaneous pneumothorax. Preoperative closed thoracic drainage combined with intraoperative pleurodesis can effectively reduce postoperative hospitalization; therefore pleurodesis is recommended. If preoperative closed thoracic drainage is not adopted, surgery without pleurodesis can effectively reduce thoracic drainage at postoperative 24 h, total drainage volume and hospital stay and the perioperative results are better; therefore mechanical pleurodesis is not recommended.

Obejective To explore the diagnostic and curative evaluation value of gastrin-releasing pep-tide precursor (ProGRP) and neuron specific enolization enzyme (NSE) in small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods Sixty SCLC patients, sixty non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and forty patients with be-nign pulmonary disease were collected fromJanuary 2014 to October 2015. The levels of serum ProGRP and NSE in all patients were determined by ELISA method and radioimmunoassay respectively then the clinical value of ProGRP and NSE on SCLC was evaluated. Results The levels of ProGRP and NSE in SCLC group were signif-icantly higher than those in NSCLC group and those in lung benign disease group (P < 0.05). The levels of Pro-GRP and NSE in extensive stage were higher than those in limited stage in SCLC group (P < 0.05). The bound-ary value of SCLC through ProGRP identified through ROC curve was 64.68 pg/mL. The diagnostic sensitivity , specific degree and Youdenindex of ProGRP in SCLC were 86.7%, 97.5% and 0.842 respectively, which were significantly higher than NSE (P < 0.05). After 2 cycles of chemotherapy, serum ProGRP in SCLC disease con-trol groupwere significantly decreased(P < 0.05) but on difference of serum ProGRP was found in SCLC progres-siongroup (P > 0.05). Conclusion ProGRP and NSE can be used as markers for the diagnostic and curative evaluation of SCLC. And ProGRP has higher sensitivity and specificity than NSE and can be promoted in clinic.

Amphibian skin antimicrobial peptides exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterium and cytotoxic activity responsible for inhibiting the growth of cancer cells. In this present study, six cDNAs encoding antimicrobial peptide precursors were cloned from the skin of Chinese brown frog, Rana chensinensis by RT-PCR and 3'-RACE procedure and identified as preprotemporin-1CEa, preprotemporin-1CEb, preprotemporin-1CEc, preprobrevinin-1CEa, preprobrevinin-1CEb, and preprochensinin-1, respectively. The nucleotide sequences of cDNA encoding 59-65 amino acid composed of 289-315 bp. Preprotemporin-1CEa, preprotemporin-1CEb and preprotemporin-1CEc are members of temporin family, which usually are short, hydrophobic, and C-terminally alpha-amidated antimicrobial peptides. Preprobrevinin-1CEa and preprobrevinin-1CEb were identified as the members of the brevinin-1 family of antimicrobial peptides since both peptides contain "RANA box" that it's responsible for forming Cys-bridged cyclic heptapeptides at the C-terminal region of peptide. The nucleotide acid sequence and the deduced amino acid Sequence of preprochensinin-1 were not found to be identity with any known amphibian skin defensive peptides, so, preprochensinin-1 was identified as a novel peptide precursor. Four of bioactive peptides: temporin-1CEa, temporin-1CEb, brevinin-1CEa and chensinin-1 were synthesized to investigate their antimicrobial, anticancer and haemolysis activities. The results showed that all of the synthesized antimicrobial peptides in this study inhibited the growth of the Gram-positive bacterium, and exhibited the anticancer activity against the growth of MCF-7 cells and HeLa cells. Analysis of the R. chensinensis bioactive peptides and their gene expression will be beneficial for preservation of this species.
