ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix on androgenic alopecia （AGA） and study the treatment mechanism. MethodNinety-nine SPF-grade male C57BL/6J mice were randomized into control， model， positive drug （finasteride， 0.65 mg·kg^-1）， low （0.78 g·kg^-1）， medium （1.56 g·kg^-1）， and high （3.12 g·kg^-1）-dose stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix， and Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata groups by the random number table method. The mouse model of AGA was constructed by subcutaneous multi-point injection of testosterone propionate diluent for 60 days， and the mice were administrated with corresponding drugs by gavage from day 11. The therapeutic effects of stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix and Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata on AGA were evaluated by newly hair area， hair length， hair weight in the hair removal area， and hematoxylin-eosin staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to determine the levels of testosterone （T）， dihydrotestosterone （DHT）， and 5α-reductase （5-AR） in the skin tissue of mice. Western blot was employed to determine the expression levels of key proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. ResultCompared with the control group， the model group （after 60 days of modeling） showed reductions in the newly hair area， hair length and weight in the back hair removal area， and ratio of hair follicles containing melanin to total hair follicles （P<0.05， P<0.01）， elevated levels of T， DHT， and 5-AR， up-regulated expression level of glycogen synthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β） （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and down-regulated expression levels of β-catenin， phospho-glycogen synthase kinase-3β （p-GSK-3β）， and p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β （P<0.05， P<0.01） in the skin tissue. Compared with the model group， the positive drug， low-， medium-， and high-dose stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix， and low-， medium-， and high-dose Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata improved the newly hair area and hair length of mice （P<0.01）， and stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix and Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata at low and medium doses improved the weight of newly formed hair in mice （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The positive drug， low-， medium-， and high-dose stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix， and low- and high-dose Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata increased the ratio of hair follicles containing melanin to total hair follicles in the skin tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with Polygoni Multiflori Radix Praeparata at the same doses， the medium and high doses of stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix increased the ratio of melanin-containing hair follicles to total hair follicles （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， stewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix lowered the levels of T and DHT， down-regulated the expression level of GSK-3β （P<0.01）， and up-regulated the expression levels of β-catenin， p-GSK-3β， and p-GSK-3β/GSK-3β （P<0.05， P<0.01） in the skin tissue of the mice. ConclusionStewed Polygoni Multiflori Radix can ameliorate androgenic alopecia in mice by reducing the androgen level and promoting Wnt/β-catenin signaling.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze and identify the metabolites of tuberostemonine in rats plasma,urine and feces,and to clarify metabolic pathway of tuberostemonine. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into blank group(0.3% carboxymethyl cellulose)and medication group(tuberostemonine 50 mg/kg,i.g.),with 6 rats in each group.The plasma of rats was collected 0.25, 0.5,1,2,4,6,12 h after intragastric administration to prepare samples. Urine and feces were collected 0-12 h and 12-24 h after administration to prepare samples. UPLC-Q-TOF/MS and software of Triple TOFTMhigh resolution mass spectrometry were used to analyze and identifiy chemical structure of metabolites in samples. RESULTS:A total of 4 compounds were detected in rat plasma, including one prototype compound and 3 metabolites. 4 metabolites were detected in urine and 2 metabolites in feces. Phase Ⅰmetabolites of tuberostemonine mainly included hydration and hydroxylation. Phase Ⅱ metabolites were not found. CONCLUSIONS:Hydration and hydroxylation are the major metabolic transformation forms of tuberostemonine in rats in vivo.

Objective To summarize the echocardiographic features of fetal absent pulmonary valve syndrome (APVS).Methods Clinical data and echocardiograms of 12 cases of fetal APVS prenatally diagnosed in the Department of Pediatric Cardiology,Guangdong Cardiovascular Institute from July 2015 to April 2017 were reviewed retrospectively and the echocardiographic features of APVS were summarized.Results Aneurysmal dilation of the main pulmonary artery and branches arteries were found in all cases,causing tracheal and esophageal compression in one case and lung compression in two cases.Color Doppler revealed systolic and diastolic turbulent blood flow with "to-and-fro" blood flow in pulmonary arteries and pulmonary regurgitation.All fetuses were situs solitus and atrioventricular concordance.Eleven cases were also identified with malposition of the great arteries accompanied with ventricular septal defect,while the other one with normally related great arteries and intact ventricular septum was diagnosed with dysplasia of distal left pulmonary artery and pericardial effusion.Absent ductus arteriosus,increased cardiothoracic ratio and myocardial hypertrophy were found in four,two and five cases,respectively.Fetal umbilical arterial systolic/diastolic ratio and resistance index of all cases were normal.Conclusions Typical APVS is characterized by absent or rudimentary pulmonary valve accompanied with prominant dilated pulmonary arteries,pulmonary valve stenosis and severe pulmonary regurgitation.It is usually accompanied by conotruncal defects,but attention should also be paid to other atypical cardiac abnormalities during screening.

Objective To access the practicality and safety of a new type Balloon dilatation combined with flank supine position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy.Methods Clinical data of 60 kidney stones patients were collected and retrospectively analyzed.This group of patients had been admitted and selected according to the inclusion criteria in our institute from July.2012 to Sep.2013.There was no obvious difference in sex,age,body mass index (BMI),stone location and size.According to the surgery approaches,this group of patients was divided into ballon group (dilated by balloon dilatation) and Amplatz group (dilated by Amplatz fascial dilation) and in each group there were 30 cases.All these patients received the surgery by the same group of surgeons.We collected the data of one-time success puncture rate,success puncture time,puncture complications (kidney calices fracture,perinephric fluid collection and postoperative delayed hemorrhages etc.),removing stones time and stone free rate.Results Compared with Balloon group,Amplatz group had a significant difference (P＜0.05) in one-time success puncture rate [100％ (30/30) vs 90％ (27/30)],success puncture time [(6.1±2.3)min vs (13.3±3.6)min],puncture complications [3％(1/30) vs 13％(4/30)] and removing stones time [(11.7±2.0)min vs (21.5±3.1)min]; but no significant difference (P＞0.05) in stone free rate [87％ (26/30) vs 83％ (25/30)].Conclusions Balloon dilatation combined with flank supine position in percutaneous nephrolithotomy is easy for surgery.It can establish the surgery access more accurately and faster,decreases removing stones time and reduces operative complications.

Putting emphasis on medical science education and looking down on medical humanistic education is the situation in medical colleges.Reasons of absence of medical humanistic education are as follows,one is the insufficient understanding of medical humanism and the other is the lack of practice.Learning traditional culture can make up for the deficiency of medical humanities education.Caring life and humanitarian spirit is the main value of traditional culture and expounding medical humanitarian spirit plays an important part in medical humanities education.Traditional culture education will cultivate student's virtue,open up the wisdom and construct the harmonious spiritual home.

Objective　To analyze the clinicopathologic characteristics and treatment of primary and secondary bladder mucosa lymphoma.　Methods　From June 1996 to September 2011,8 cases of bladder mucosa lymphoma patients including primary bladder mucosa lymphoma patients (2 males and 3 females)and secondary bladder mucosa lymphoma patients ( 1 male and 2 females) were treated in our institute.The patient's mean age was 68 years (ranged from 57 to 78 years),and the other 3 secondary bladder mucosa lymphoma patient's mean age was 61 years (ranged from 41 to 81 years).7 of 8 patients accepted transurethral resection of bladder tumor combined with CHOP chemotherapy and radiotherapy,and 1 patient abandoned treatment.CHOP chemotherapy and radiotherapy were performed at 2 weeks post-operatively.Secondary bladder mucosa lymphoma patients accepted 3-dimensional conformal 6000 cGy radiotherapy.Urinary CT examination showed that there were round or oval irregular tumors in the wall of urinary bladder,whose diameters were 1 to 4 cm.Tumor edges were glossy and tumor density were uniform.In addition,the bladder wall with tumor was uneven.In contrasted CT,the tumors appeared obviously enhanced.7 cases had cauliflower-like tumors found by cystoscope,and there were necrosis-calcification area in the center of tumors.1case appeared multiple tumors,which consisted of one big tumor and three smaller ones.　Results　There were 5 cases of primary bladder mucosa lymphoma, including 3 bladder mucosa associated lymphoma (MAL) cases and 2 diffuse large B cell lymphoma cases.There were 3 secondary bladder mucosa lymphoma cases including 2 diffuse large B cell lymphoma cases and 1 generalized follicular cystic central lymphoma case,which belongs to the tuberous sclerosis Hodgkin lymphoma.Immunohistochemical analysis showed that CD20,CD21,CD43 staining were positive in low grade MAL (3 cases).However,CD3,CD20,CD31 staining were positivein high grade MAL (5 cases). All patients were followed up 3 to 44 months.3 cases of secondary malignant lymphoma patients died after diagnosed after 3 to 13 months.5 cases of primary malignant lymphoma patients were all survived. 1 case recurred 14 months after surgery and accepted TURBT and CHOP chemotherapy again.Pathologic diagnosis showed the transformation from peripheral zone of bladder mucosa associated lymphoma to diffuse large B cell lymphoma.The patient was free of recurrence.　Conclusions　MAL and diffuse large B cell lymphoma are the most common type of bladder mucosa lymphoma.Primary and secondary diffuse large B cell lymphoma have similarities in histological analysis,but the former prognosis is better than the latter's. Transurethral resection of bladder tumor combined with chemotherapy and radiotherapy can prevent the relapse of MAL in short term and long term with good tolerance,and can be used as ideal treatment of MALT.
