Objective:To evaluate the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) and salivary gland ultrasound scoring(SGUS) system in the diagnosis of salivary glands lesions in patients with Sj?gren′s syndrome(SS) and to compare the diagnostic efficiency of the two methods.Methods:From June 2019 to November 2020, Fifty-eight patients with suspected SS were selected from the Affiliated Changzhou No.2 People′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. According to the 2002 American-European Consensus Group classification standard, the enrolled patients were divided into two groups: SS group (47 cases) and non-SS group(11 cases). According to symptom duration, SS group was divided into the ≤5 years group (29 cases) and the >5 years group (18 cases). Meanwhile, 40 healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study as normal control group. The diagnostic value of salivary gland ultrasound scoring system and Young′s modulus in SS were analyzed.Results:The differences in Young′s modulus of parotid gland and submandibular gland between SS group and non-SS group (or control group) were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The ultrasound score of SS group was significantly higher than that of non-SS group and control group (all P<0.05). SGUS and Young′s modulus were not significantly different between different course groups (all P>0.05). The areas under ROC curve of the mean Young′s value in parotid and submandibular gland and the SGUS were 0.801, 0.829 and 0.676, respectively. The comparison of the area under the curve between the Young′s modulus of the parotid and submandibular glands and the ultrasound score was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:SWE and Ultrasonography scoring system have certain value in the diagnosis of salivary gland lesions in SS, and can provide important reference information for clinical diagnosis from different perspectives. The diagnostic efficiency of SWE for salivary glands lesions in patients with SS is better than that of SGUS scoring system.

OBJECTIVE：To provide reference for the quality control of the leaves of Toricellia angulata . METHODS ：HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Agela Promosil C 18 column with 0.2％ phosphoric acid solution-acetonitrile（gradient elution ）as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 210 nm，and column temperature was 35 ℃. The sample size was 10 μL. HPLC fingerprint of 10 batches of the leaves of T. angulata was established and similarity evaluation was conducted by using Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint（2004 edition）. The chromatographic peak was identified by comparing with the chromatogram of reference substance. Cluster analysis ，PCA and PLS-DA were used to identify chemical patterns ，and the quality differential markers were screened. The contents of hyperoside and isoquercitrin were determined by the same HPLC. RESULTS ：The similarities of HPLC fingerprint of 10 batches of the leaves of T. angulata with control fingerprint were 0.923-0.983. A total of 11 common peaks were identified ，and the peaks 4 and 5 were hyperoside and isoquercitrin ，respectively. Results of cluster analysis ，PCA and PLS-DA showed that 10 batches of leaves of T. angulata could be divided into two categories ，Y10 was clustered into one category ，and others were clustered into one category. PLS-DA analysis showed that 6 common peaks （peaks 4，3，10，2，6 and 11） with variable importance projection （VIP）greater than 1 were selected. Average contents of hyperoside and isoquercitrin in 10 batches of the leaves of T. angulata were 0.47-6.97，0.21-1.87 mg/g，respectively. CONCLUSIONS ：Established HPLC fingerprint and the method for content determination are stable and reliable ，and can be used for the quality control of the leaves of T. angulata from different areas. Six quality differential markers including hyperoside in the leaves of T. angulata from different areas are qnyz202034） preliminarily screened.

AIM:To investigate the protective effect of pinacidil postconditioning on rat myocardium suffering ischemia/reperfusion injury by mitochondrial proteomics .METHODS: Langendorff apparatus was used to establish the model of myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury .Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 2 groups:pinacidil post-conditioning group (Pina group) and ischemia/reperfusion injury group (I/R group).After 20 min of perfusion with K-H solution, the perfusion was suspended for 40-min (global ischemia) follow by 60 min of reperfusion in I/R group.In Pina group at the end of 40 min global ischemia , the isolated hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing pinacidil ( 50μmol/L) for 2 min followed 58-min perfusion with regular K-H solution.Total proteins extracted from the mitochondria were applied to the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE).The differentially expressed protein spots over 2 times were evaluated by a software .Then they were subjected to in-gel digestion , and analyzed by spectrometry .RESULTS:The expression levels of NDUFA10, NDUFS2 and NDUFV2 were elevated but those of IDHA and ECH 1 were decreased in Pina group compared with I/R group.Interestingly, 2 spots in the 2-DE map were identified as ATPase subunit δ.The ex-pression levels of one spot was elevated , while the other was decreased .CONCLUSION:Pinacidil postconditioning may decrease the degree of increased expression levels of NDUFA 10, NDUFS2 and NDUFV2, promote the expression of IDHA and ECH1, and induce the phosphorylation of ATPase subunit δ, which may be related to the protective mechanism of pinacidil postconditioning .

Objective To observe the effect of scalp-body acupuncture plus psychological intervention in treating post-stroke depression.Method Seventy-eight patients with post-stroke depression were divided into a treatment group (40 cases) and a control group (38 cases). In addition to ordinary neurological treatments, the treatment group also received scalp-body acupuncture plus psychological intervention while the control group also received Fluoxetine hydrochloride (Prozac). The interventions were given once a day, 4 weeks as a treatment course, for 2 courses in total. Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and neurological impairment severity scale (NISS) were observed before intervention, after 1 treatment course and at the end of the intervention.Result After intervention, the HAMD and NISS scores dropped significantly in both groups, and the treatment group was markedly better than the control group (P＜0.05). The total effective rates of anti-depression and recovery of neurological function in the treatment group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Scalp-body acupuncture plus psychological intervention can produce a content efficacy in improving depression and recovering neurological function.
