ObjectiveTo rapidly identify the chemical constituents in Tongxie Yaofang decoction by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS). MethodChromatographic conditions were ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column(2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.7 μm), mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution(A)-acetonitrile(B) for gradient elution (0-4 min, 5%-15%B; 4-10 min, 15%-25%B; 10-15 min, 25%-60%B; 15-20 min, 60%-90%B; 20-25 min, 90%-100%B; 25-27 min, 100%B; 27-30 min, 100%-5%B; 30-32 min, 5%B), flow rate of 0.3 mL·min-1, column temperature at 35 ℃ and injection volume of 3 μL. UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap-MS was equipped with an electrospray ionization(ESI), the MS and MS/MS data were collected in positive and negative ion modes, and detection range was m/z 100-1 250. Combining the reference substance, chemical databases and related literature information, TraceFinder 4.1 and Xcalibur 2.1 were used to identify the chemical constituents of Tongxie Yaofang decoction. ResultA total of 90 compounds, mainly including flavonoids, coumarins, monoterpene glycosides, chromones and lactones, were identified from Tongxie Yaofang decoction. By attributing the sources of Chinese medicines for all identified compounds, 9 of them were found to be derived from Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 21 from Paeoniae Radix Alba, 24 from Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 29 from Saposhnikoviae Radix, and 7 from at least two Chinese medicines. ConclusionThe method can effectively, quickly and comprehensively identify the chemical components of Tongxie Yaofang decoction, and clarify the chemical composition. These identified compounds cover the main active ingredients of the four herbs with high abundance, which indicates that the extraction method and the ratio of the medicinal materials of Tongxie Yaofang are scientific, and can provide a reference for the research on the material basis and quality evaluation of this famous classical formula.

Objective:
To understand health literacy and associated factors of freshmen from Jiangsu Province, and to provide reference for youth health education.
Methods:
From 2017 October to 2018 October, a total of 15 602 college freshman were randomly selected from 20 universities in Jiangsu Province via stratified cluster sampling method. Structural questionnaires were used to investigate the status of health literacy. The χ 2 test and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze the influencing factors of health literacy.
Results:
The health literacy level of college freshmen from Jiangsu Province was 20.2%, among which the literacy levels of knowledge, behavior and skills were 23.0%, 30.7% and 31.5% respectively. The literacy levels of the six public health issues, including safety and first aid, scientific health attitude, knowledge of prevention and treatment of infectious diseases, health information, basic health care, and prevention and treatment of chronic diseases, from high to low, were 72.8%, 58.7%, 28.5%, 28.2%, 20.3% and 15.9%, respectively. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis has showed that students from undergraduate colleges(OR=2.77, 95%CI=2.47-3.11), urban areas(OR=1.20, 95%CI=1.07-1.34), or southern Jiangsu regions(OR=1.10, 95%CI=1.00-1.22), being the only child(OR=1.13, 95%CI=1.03-1.25), higher maternal education level (OR=1.53, 95%CI=1.30-1.79), having both parents(OR=1.16, 95%CI=1.00-1.34), reported higher level of health literacy.
Conclusion
The three aspects and six dimensions of health literacy of college freshmen were unbalanced. Health literacy is a shared function of multiple factors including society, family, and individuals. It is essential to promote health education through more efforts on key issues, in order to effectively elevate the health literacy level of adolescent students.

Objective To explore the association between the structural patterns of orbitofrontal sulcogyral pattern (OSP)and the susceptibility to schizophrenia in children and adolescents patients with schizophrenia. Methods Seventy-two childhood and adolescence schizophrenia aged 6~18 years were enrolled as the case group and 78 sex-, age-, education-matched healthy children served as the control group. MR images were acquired with a 3.0 T Magnetom Symphony MRI system. Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate the symptom severity of patients.The pattern type of OFC was classified based on continuity among medial (MOS),lateral (LOS)and transverse (TOS) orbital sulci according to the method of Chiavaras and Petrides'. The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) sulcogyral pattern was classified into three types(TypeⅠ,TypeⅡ,TypeⅢ)in each hemisphere. Results There were significant differences in the distribution of OFC patterns between the control and the case group (Left hemisphere: Χ2=6.668,P=0.036; Right hemisphere: Χ2=7.501,P=0.024). The linear regression analysis showed that Type Ⅲ in either hemisphere was associated with more severe symptoms in schizophrenia patients (B=7.214, P=0.008). Conclusions Type Ⅲ sulcogyral pattern may be a morphological risk marker for schizophrenia. Compared to the other two types, the Type Ⅲ expression is associated with more severe clinical symptoms.

Objective To explore the effect of oral-muscle biofeedback system training on the rehabilitation of cognitive dysfunction in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) after ischemic stroke.Methods A total of 60 cases of poststroke OSA patients with cognitive dysfunction admitted to the rehabilitation center of deAn hospital in changzhou city from June 2017 to March 2018 were selected.On the basis of routine rehabilitation treatment,the control group was given positive pressure ventilation treatment,and the observation group was given oral muscle biofeedback system training.The changes of polysomnography (PSG) parameters,Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) score,serum matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) and plasma homcysteinemia (Hcy) expression levels in the two groups before and after treatment were compared.Results Apnea hypopnea index and maximum apnea time of the two groups were significantly decreased after treatment compared with those before treatment,and the lowest SpO2 and average SpO2 were significantly higher than those before treatment(P<0.05).After treatment,MoCA total score and the dimensions score of patients in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group at the same time (P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of Hcy((12.38±4.54) μmol/L) and MMP-9((124.52± 12.94) μg/L) in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group at the same time(Hcy(17.52±6.27) μmol/L,MMP-9(268.25±20.5 7)μg/L),and the difference was statistically significant (Hcy:t=3.637,P<0.05;MMP-9:t =32.395,P<0.05).Conclusions Positive pressure ventilation and oral muscle biofeedback system training have the same effect on OSA after stroke,but oral muscle biofeedback system training can also effectively improve patients' cognitive function.

OBJECTIVETo assess the association of IFNG gene polymorphisms with preeclampsia among pregnant woman from Shaanxi Province.
METHODSGenomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples collected from 280 patients with preeclampsia and 344 healthy pregnant women. Five tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the IFNG gene (rs2069705, rs2430561, rs1861493, rs2069718, and rs2193050) were genotyped with a SNaPshot method. Genotypic and allelic frequencies were evaluated with a Chi square test. Genotype data was corrected by Logistic regression for body mass index and age. The level of IFN-gamma was determined with an ELISA assay.
RESULTSThe distribution of five tag SNPs all conformed to Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (P> 0.05). Significant association with preeclampsia was found with the T allele of rs2430561 (OR=1.54, 95% CI:1.15-2.09, P=6.99× 10), under a dominant model (OR=3.77, 95% CI: 1.09-13.29, P=0.029) and a recessive model (OR=1.53, 95% CI:1.09-2.15, P=0.018). For the patient group, the IFN-gamma level of those with a TT genotype for rs2430561 was significantly higher than those with an AA or AT genotype [(13.69± 0.79) pg/mL vs. (13.11± 1.56) pg/mL, P< 0.05].
CONCLUSIONPolymorphism of the rs2430561 locus of the IFNG gene is associated with increased risk for preeclampsia as well as serum level of IFN-gamma among pregnant woman from Shaanxi. The role of the IFNG gene in the regulation of preeclampsia requires further investigation.
