ObjectiveTo confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of Yishen Yangxin Anshen tablets in the treatment of insomnia （heart-blood deficiency and kidney-essence insufficiency syndrome）. MethodA randomized block， double-blind， placebo-controlled， multi-center clinical trial design method was adopted， and a total of 480 patients with insomnia due to deficiency of heart blood and insufficiency of kidney essence （treatment group-control group 3∶1） from seven hospitals （Guang'anmen Hospital， China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences， The First Clinical Hospital， Jilin Province Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine（TCM）， The Second Affiliated Hospital of Liaoning University of TCM， The First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine， Henan Province Hospital of TCM， Hebei General Hospital， The First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine） were enrolled. The treatment group was given Yishen Yangxin Anshen tablets and the control group received placebo tablets （4 tablets/time， 3 times/day， 4 weeks of administration， 4 weeks of follow-up after drug withdrawal）. The sleep dysfunction rating scale （SDRS） score， pittsburgh sleep quality index （PSQI） score， TCM， polysomnography （PSG） indicators from four hospital （Guang'anmen Hospital， China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences， Henan Province Hospital of TCM， Hebei General Hospital， The First Hospital of Hunan University of Chinese Medicine）， and other efficacy indicators were compared between the two groups before and after treatment. Through general physical examination， laboratory examination， and observation of adverse events， the safety of the drugs was evaluated. ResultThe baseline indexes of the two groups showed no significant difference and thus the two groups were comparable. After treatment， the total score of SDRS in the treatment group was lower than that in the control group （P<0.01）. After drug withdrawal for 4 weeks， the total score of SDRS demonstrated no significant change in the treatment group as compared with that at the end of treatment， indicating that the rebound change of curative effect was not obvious. After treatment， the total score of PSQI in the treatment group decreased as compared with that in the control group （P<0.01）， and the change of total score of PSQI in the treatment group was statistically significant （P<0.05） after drug withdrawal for 4 weeks but small， indicating that the rebound change of curative effect was not obvious. After treatment， the total effective rate about the TCM symptoms in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group （χ²=137.521，P<0.01）. After treatment， the disappearance rates of single indexes in the treatment group， such as difficulty in falling asleep， easily waking up after sleeping， early awakening， short sleep time， dreamfulness， palpitation， forgetfulness， dizziness， mental fatigue， and weakness of waist and knee， increased compared with those in the control group （P<0.01）. After treatment， the treatment group demonstrated fewer awaking times （AT）， longer total sleep time （TST）， lower ATA/TST ratio， and higher sleep efficiency （%） than the control group （P<0.05）. No abnormal value or aggravation related to drugs was observed in either group. The incidence of adverse events in the treatment group and the control group was 5.57% and 8.40% respectively. No serious adverse events or adverse events leading to withdrawal happened in either group. ConclusionYishen Yangxin Anshen tablets is effective and safe for patients with insomnia of deficiency of heart-blood and insufficiency of kidney-essence.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of resveratrol (RSV) on improving cognitive function in severely burned rats and its possible mechanism. Methods 18 male SD rats aged 18-20 months were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group, model group and RSV group, with 6 rats in each group. After successful modeling, the rats in RSV group were gavaged once daily with RSV (20 mg/kg). Meanwhile, the rats in control group and model group were gavaged once daily with an equal volume of sodium chloride solution. After 4 weeks, the cognitive function of all rats was estimated by Step-down Test. The concentration of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) and interleukin 6 (IL-6) protein in serum of rats were detected by ELISA. The expression of IL-6, TNF-α mRNA and protein were estimated by real-time PCR and Western blotting. The apoptosis of hippocampal neurons was tested by terminal deoxynuclectidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling assay (TUNEL). The expression of nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB)/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) pathway-related proteins in hippocampus were assessed by Western blotting. Results Compared with the rats in model group, rats in RSV group exhibited improved cognitive function. Consistently, the rats in RSV group had a reduced concentration of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum, decreased mRNA and protein expressions of TNF-α and IL-6 in hippocampus, and decreased apoptosis rate and relative expression of p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 and p-JNK/JNK in hippocampal neurons. Conclusion RSV alleviates inflammatory response and hippocampal neuronal apoptosis by inhibiting NF-κB/JNK pathway, thereby improving cognitive function in severely burned rats.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effects of expanded frontal flap and flip scar flap in repairing partial nasal defect.Methods:A retrospective observational study was conducted. From January 2012 to January 2022, 26 patients with partial nasal defects who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, including 19 males and 7 females, aged 5 to 61 years. The surgery was performed in 4 stages. In the first stage, a rectangular skin and soft tissue expander (hereinafter referred to as expander) with suitable rated capacity was planted in frontal region and expanded by injecting water regularly. In the second stage, flip scar flap was grafted to reconstruct nasal inner lining, whose area was about 10% larger than the area of defect. The expanded frontal flap with pedicle was transferred to repair the nasal defect, whose pedicle was supraorbital vessel or supratrochlear vessel on the contralateral side of the defect, and the area of expanded flap was 20% larger than the nasal defect area after resection and flipping of scar flap. The donor site of expanded flap was sutured directly. After 3 weeks of flap transferring, the flap was delayed in the third stage. After 1 week of delaying operation, the pedicle of flap was cut off in the fourth stage. The number, rated capacity, injection volume, and expansion time of embedded expanders were recorded. The occurrences of complications including infection, hematoma, ulceration of expanded flap after the first stage operation, and blood supply disorder or necrosis of flap after operation in the second and fourth stages were observed. All the patients were followed up for 1 year at least, and the color of flap, scar of frontal donor site, symmetry of bilateral eyebrows, and the nasal appearance and ventilated function of external nasal tract were observed.Results:A total of 26 expanders were embedded in 26 patients. The rated capacity of expanders ranged from 100 to 300 mL. The injection volume was 1.0 to 1.5 times of the rated capacity of expanders. The expansion time ranged from 2.5 to 4.0 months, with an average time of 3 months. There were no complications occurred after each operation. The follow-up showed that the color of flap was similar to the normal nasal skin, the scar of frontal region was not obvious, the bilateral eyebrows were basically symmetrical, the nose had excellent appearance, ventilation function of external nasal tract was not affected, while some of the patients had downward rotation or unapparent tip-defining point of nose.Conclusions:Using the flip scar flap to reconstruct the nasal inner lining and pre-expanded frontal flap to reconstruct the nasal skin, without free cartilage transplantation to repair the partial nasal defects can achieve satisfied nasal appearance post operation, without abnormal external nasal ventilation function.

OBJECTIVE To study the nephrotoxicity of the extracts from different parts o f Miao medicine Wikstroemia indica in healthy rats ，and to provide reference for the study of its toxicity mechanism and clinical drug use. METHODS Using 70％ ethanol as solvent ，total ethanol extract of W. indica was extracted with diacolation method. After dispersing the above extract with water，the fractions of corresponding fractions were obtained with petroleum ether ，ethyl acetate and n-butanol，and the rest was the extract of water fraction. SD rats were randomly divided into total ethanol extract group ，petroleum ether fraction group ，ethyl acetate fraction group ，n-butanol fraction group ，water fraction group and blank group ，with 12 rats in each group （half male and half female ）. The rats in the administration groups were given the corresponding dose of drug solution intragastrically （total ethanol extract 317.520 mg/kg，petroleum ether fraction 7.875 mg/kg，ethyl acetate fraction 78.435 mg/kg，n-butanol fraction 53.865 mg/kg and water fraction 76.545 mg/kg），once a day ，for conse- cutive 2 weeks，and then stopped taking drug for 2 weeks； rats in the blank group were given equal volume of 1.0％ . sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution intragastrically. Duringthe experiment ，the general conditions of rats were observed. The samples of urine （on the 14th and 28th day ），serum and bilateral renal tissues （on the 15th and 29th day ）were taken respectively，the renal index was calculated ，the levels of @qq.com renal function indexes in serum and urine were detected ，and the pathomorphological changes of renal tissues were observed. RESULTS During administration ，compared with blank group ，the rats in the total ethanol extract group and ethyl acetate fraction group showed poisoning behavior and activity characteristics such as mental depression ，decreased activity and diet ，thin stool and decreased body mass. The mental state of the rats in the petroleum ether fraction group ，n-butanol fraction group and water fraction group were slightly worse than that in blank group，and slightly decreased activity and diet as well as thin stool ，and slowly increased body mass were found ；however，there was no significant difference in anal temperature in each group. After 2 weeks of administration ，the renal index in total ethanol extract group ，the serum levels of N-acetylglucosaminidase（NAG），urea nitrogen （BUN）and creatinine （Cr）in total ethanol extract group and ethyl acetate fraction group ，serum level of NAG in n-butanol fraction group and serum level of Cr in water fraction group ，as while as NAG levels in urine of rats in total ethanol extract group and petroleum ether fraction group ，NAG and urinary protein levels in urine of rats in ethyl acetate fraction group were increased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. In the pathomorphological observation ，renal tubules showed different degrees of unclear structure ，cell swelling and a few cell necrosis in the total ethanol extract group ，petroleum ether fraction group and ethyl acetate fraction group ，accompanying by glomerular pyknosis，renal tubular sclerosis and inflammatory cell infiltration ，compared with blank group. After drug withdrawal ，the mental state of rats in the administration groups were significantly improved ，the amount of activity and diet increased ，and the stool tended to be normal. Two weeks after drug withdrawal and recovery ，the levels of above indexes in serum and urine of rats in administration groups returned to be close to that in blank group （P＞0.05）；the glomerular structure of rats in each administration group gradually recovered clearly ，and cell swelling and inflammatory cell infiltration were rare in total ethanol extract group ， petroleum ether fraction group and ethyl acetate fraction group. CONCLUSIONS The total ethanol extract ，petroleum ether fraction and ethyl acetate fraction of Miao medicine W. indica have certain nephrotoxicity and reversibility. The toxic component may

Objective:To investigate the influence of silver ion dressing on related infections induced by inserted central venous catheter through wounds in patients with severe burn.Methods:From June 2017 to December 2018, 90 severe burn patients who were admitted to the First Hospital of Hebei Medical University and met the inclusion criteria were included in this prospectively randomized control study. According to the random number table, they were divided into silver ion dressing group (30 patients, 20 males and 10 females, aged (37.2±3.4) years), sterile dressing group (30 patients, 18 males and 12 females, aged (35.2±4.1) years), and Anerdian dressing group (30 patients, 17 males and 13 females, aged (36.3±2.6) years). After admission, the patients in three groups were treated with a 16 G single-lumen central venous catheter inserted into the subclavian vein of burn wounds, with the depth of 19 cm. The puncture points of the patients in silver ion dressing group, sterile dressing group, and Anerdian dressing group were covered with silver ion medical antibacterial dressing, sterile dressing, and sterile gauze dressing infiltrated with Anerdian skin and mucous membrane washing and disinfecting solution, respectively. The patients in three groups underwent catheter maintenance and dressing change every 12 hours. The thousand-day infection rates of catheter outlet infection and catheter-related bloodstream infection (CRBSI), catheter indwelling days, and pathogen detection of the patients in three groups were counted. Data were statistically analyzed with chi-square test, one-way analysis of variance, least significant difference test, Fisher′s exact probability test, and Bonferroni correction.Results:(1) The thousand-day infection rates of catheter outlet infection of patients in sterile dressing group and Anerdian dressing group were 22.29‰ (7/314) and 20.83‰ (7/336), respectively, which were similar ( P>0.05), and both were significantly higher than 1.54‰ (1/651) in silver ion dressing group ( P<0.01). The thousand-day infection rates of CRBSI of patients in sterile dressing group and Anerdian dressing group were 25.48‰ (8/314) and 20.83‰ (7/336), respectively, which were similar ( P>0.05), and both were significantly higher than 1.54‰ (1/651) in silver ion dressing group ( P<0.01). The catheter indwelling days of patients in sterile dressing group and Anerdian dressing group were similar ( P>0.05), and both were significantly shorter than the days in silver ion dressing group ( P<0.01). (2) A total of 16 cases of CRBSI occurred in all the patients in 3 groups. A total of 16 pathogenic bacteria were isolated from catheter tip attachment microbial culture and blood microbial culture. The detections rates of pathogenic bacteria of patients in sterile dressing group and Anerdian dressing group were significantly higher than the rate in silver ion dressing group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:For severe burn patients, the use of silver ion dressings in the maintenance of central venous catheters inserted through wounds can effectively reduce the rate of central venous catheter-related infections and extend the catheter indwelling days.

OBJECTIVETo compare the acute toxicity and content of daphnoretin among extracts of unprocessed indian string-bush root and its two different processed products, and to provide a basis for discussion of the mechanism of two processed methods.

METHODExtracts of unprocessed indian stringbush root and processed indian stringbush root with "sweat" and "artificial sweat" were prepared. The mice were intragastrically administrated once with these three extracts, the mortalities of mice were observed, and the median lethal dose (LD50) of different extracts were calculated with Bliss method. The determination of daphnoretin in these three samples was performed by high performance liquid chromatography.

RESULTThe LD50 of indian stringbush root extracts, indian stringbush root processed with "sweat" and with "artificial sweat" were 46.678, 72.190, 67.953 g x kg(-1), respectively. The contents of daphnoretin in unprocessed indian stringbush root, indian stringbush root processed with "sweat" and with "artificial sweat" were 0.189%, 0.407% and 0.345%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONThe toxicity of indian stringbush root processed with both "sweat" and "artificial sweat" is lower than that of the original rude drug. But the decreasion of toxicity of processed products is not by the reduced daphoretin content.
