OBJECTIVE To establish fingerprint， chemical pattern recognition and multi-component quantification analysis of Sanzi powder， and evaluate its quality. METHODS HPLC method was adopted. The fingerprints of 15 batches of Sanzi powder were established by using the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine （2012 edition）. Cluster analysis， principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were also conducted. The variable importance in projection （VIP） value greater than 1 was used as the index to screen the differential markers， and the contents of the differential markers were determined by the same HPLC method. RESULTS A total of 21 common peaks in the HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of Sanzi powder were calibrated， and the similarities of them were 0.994- 0.999； 6 common peaks were identified， including gallic acid （peak 3）， garminoside （peak 10）， corilagin （peak 11）， chebulinic acid （peak 16）， ellagic acid （peak 18）， crocin Ⅰ （peak 19）. According to the results of cluster analysis， YKD2024LH005，No.YKD2023LH062） principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis， 15 batches of samples could be clustered into two categories： S1， S5， S7， S9， S14 were clustered into one category； S2-S4， S6， S8， S10-S13， S15 were clustered into one category. VIP values of 11 differential components such as corilagin， chebulinic acid and ellagic acid were higher than 1. Among 15 batches of samples， the contents of corilagin， chebulinic acid and ellagic acid ranged 2.667-5.152， 9.506- 13.522， 0.891-1.811 mg/g. CONCLUSIONS Established HPLC fingerprint and multi-component quantification analysis of Sanzi powder are rapid and simple， and can be used for quality evaluation of Sanzi powder by combining with chemical pattern recognition. Eleven components such as corilagin， chebulinic acid and ellagic acid are differential markers affecting the quality of Sanzi powder.

BACKGROUND:We have successfully established an animal model of small ear pig in southern Yunnan province with internal tension relieving technique combined with autologous Achilles tendon for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction,and verified the stability and reliability of the model.However,whether internal tension relieving technique can promote the ligamentalization process of autologous Achilles tendon graft has not been studied. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differences in the process of ligamentalization between conventional reconstruction and internal reduction reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by gross view,histology and electron microscopy. METHODS:Thirty adult female small ear pigs in southern Yunnan province were selected.Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the left knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon(n=30 in the normal group),and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was performed on the right knee joint with the ipsilateral knee Achilles tendon combined with the internal relaxation and enhancement system(n=30 in the relaxation group).The autogenous right forelimb was used as the control group;the anterior cruciate ligament was exposed but not severed or surgically treated.At 12,24,and 48 weeks after surgery,10 animals were sacrificed,respectively.The left and right knee joint specimens were taken for gross morphological observation to evaluate the graft morphology.MAS score was used to evaluate the excellent and good rate of the ligament at each time point.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to evaluate the degree of ligament graft vascularization.Collagen fibers and nuclear morphology were observed,and nuclear morphology was scored.Ultrastructural remodeling was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The ligament healing shape of the relaxation group was better at various time points after surgery,and the excellent and good rate of MAS score was higher(P<0.05).Moreover,the relaxation group could obtain higher ligament vascularization score(P<0.05).(2)The arrangement of collagen bundles and fiber bundles in the two groups gradually tended to be orderly,and the transverse fiber connections between collagen gradually increased and thickened,suggesting that the strength and shape degree of the grafts were gradually improved,but the ligament remodeling in the relaxation group was always faster than that in the normal group at various time points after surgery.(3)The diameter,distribution density,and arrangement degree of collagen fibers in the relaxation group were better than those in the normal group at all time points,especially in the comparison of collagen fiber diameter between and within the relaxation group(P<0.05).

BACKGROUND:In recent years,some scholars in the field of tendon bone injury have attached stromal cell-derived factor 1 to tissue engineering scaffolds to promote tendon bone healing,and achieved good results.However,whether stromal cell-derived factor 1 promotes tendon bone healing mechanisms and participates in the repair of natural healing has not yet been defined. OBJECTIVE:To study the expression of stroma-cell derived factor 1 during tendon bone healing after rupture of the whole supraspinatus muscle of the rabbit rotator cuff and its migration effect and optimal in vitro migration promoting concentration on stem cells during tendon bone injury. METHODS:Totally 18 adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly selected to establish rotator cuff injury models,and an additional 3 rabbits were selected as blank controls.At 3,5,7,14,21,and 28 days after modeling,three rabbits were executed separately and the rabbits in the blank group were sacrificed.The tissues of tendon bone junction were taken and stored in a-80℃refrigerator.The expression of stromal cell-derived factor 1 was detected by ELISA at each time point after injury.Mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from the bone marrow of young rabbit femur,cultured,and identified.Transwell assay was performed to verify the migration-promoting effect of stromal cell-derived factor 1 on stem cells and the optimal migration-promoting concentration in vitro.The stem cells cultured to P3 were co-cultured with BrdU and injected into the rabbit ear marginal vein,and immunohistochemical staining was used to verify whether the stem cells migrated to the injury site. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Stromal cell-derived factor 1 gene expression was bimodal during rotator cuff tendon bone healing.Stromal cell-derived factor 1 gene expression increased significantly at 3 days post-injury(P<0.01)and then decreased,reaching a minimum at 5 days post-injury.It increased again and reached a peak 14 days after injury(P<0.01)and then decreased.(2)Cell immunohistochemical staining displayed that stem cells labeled with BrdU did migrate to the injury site.(3)The results of the transwell experiment exhibited that 60-80 ng/mL stromal cell-derived factor 1 had the best effect on promoting migration of stem cells,while a concentration of 200 ng/mL inhibited migration.(4)Stromal cell-derived factor 1 is involved in the healing of rotator cuff tendon bone during the inflammatory response phase and the proliferation phase.The mechanism of action may be to promote the migration of stem cells to the injury and their differentiation into various types of cells to promote repair.In addition,the pro-migration effect of stromal cell-derived factor 1 exists at a range of concentrations,beyond which it may act as an inhibitor.

Objective:To investigate the current status of the use and management of medical devices in various primary medical and health institutions under hierarchical medical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 450 medical personnel from 50 township and urban primary medical and health institutions of Shijiazhuang from May to August 2023 and a questionnaire network survey on the use and management of medical devices was conducted,which covered 16 items across three dimensions including the use of commonly used medical devices in primary medical institutions,maintenance and quality control management.Results:A total of 450 questionnaires were distributed and 450 valid questionnaires were collected,including 239 from township primary level medical institutions and 211 from urban primary level ones.According to the results of 211 urban primary level questionnaires,the proportions of the training and examination carried out by the medical staff of urban grass-roots medical and health institutions prior to the use of medical devices,understanding parameters of medical devices and timely detection of malfunction of medical devices were 62.6%(132/211),77.7%(164/211)and 70.1%(148/211),respectively,which were higher than those at the township primary level,the difference was statistically significant(x2=17.750,29.649,22.384,P<0.05).The proportions of urban primary medical and health institutions with maintenance system,inspection and maintenance standards,regular calibration provisions,and equipment calibration standards were 64.0%(135/211),53.6%(112/211),55.9%(118/211)and 55.0%(116/211),respectively,which were higher than those of the township primary level,the difference was statistically significant(x2=5.834,34.728,6.004,25.540,P<0.05).The difference was not statistically significant between urban primary level and township primary level in each item of quality control management(P>0.05).Conclusion:Primary medical and health institutions were required to strengthen training and assessment before medical and health personnel use medical devices;improve related system and standards for medical device maintenance;formulate quality control management system for commonly used medical devices;strengthen analysis and discussion processes after quality control,and promote continuous improvement of medical device quality management.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacies between arthroscopic anatomic single bundle reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) assisted by internal tension relieving technique combined with rapid rehabilitation and anatomic single bundle reconstruction combined with conventional rehabilitation in the treatment of PCL rupture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was used to analyze the clinical data of 88 patients with PCL rupture admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from September 2016 to September 2020. The patients included 65 males and 23 females, aged 18-55 years [(39.3±10.8)years]. Forty-four patients underwent arthroscopic anatomic single bundle reconstruction of PCL assisted by internal tension relieving technique combined with rapid rehabilitation therapy (tension-relieving group), and 44 patients underwent arthroscopic routine anatomic single bundle reconstruction of PCL combined with conventional rehabilitation (traditional group). The two groups were compared before and at 3, 12, and 24 months after surgery regarding the following items: International Knee Literature Committee (IKDC) score, Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) score, Lysholm score, knee motion cycle (maximum stride length, minimum stride length, and stride frequency) and 6 kinematic indicators (angle of forward and back extension, angle of internal and external rotation, angle of internal and external rotation, up and down displacement, internal and external displacement, and forward and back displacement). The Marburger arthroscopy score (MAS) and Professor Ao Yingfang′s improved score by secondary arthroscopy were compared between the two groups at 12 months after surgery. The perioperative complications were observed.Results:All patients were followed for 24-36 months [(25.5±6.3)months]. In tension-relieving group and the traditional group, the values of IKDC score were (71.8±9.8)points and (68.5±6.5)points at 3 months after surgery, (87.6±6.0)points and (87.6±5.5)points at 12 months after surgery, and (95.5±3.1)points and (92.8±11.6)points at 24 months after surgery, respectively. The values were gradually increased, significantly higher than those before surgery [(48.1±16.9)points and (47.1±15.0)points] (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups at each time point (all P>0.05). In tension-relieving group and the traditional group, the values of HSS score were (74.2±6.2)points and (68.4±9.5)points at 3 months after surgery, (91.9±5.4)points and (88.4±4.7)points at 12 months after surgery, and (97.1±2.0)points and (96.2±2.8)points at 24 months after surgery, respectively. The values of HSS score gradually increased, significantly higher than those before surgery [(57.5±17.7)points and (56.8±14.3)points] (all P<0.05). At 3 and 12 months after surgery, the values of HSS score in the tension-relieving group were significantly higher than those in the traditional group (all P<0.05), but others were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). In tension-relieving group and the traditional group, the values of Lysholm score were (74.2±14.9)points and (70.3±7.5)points at 3 months after surgery, (90.9±6.1)points and (88.7±4.7)points at 12 months after surgery, and (96.9±3.0)points and (96.3±2.8)points at 24 months after surgery, respectively. The values of Lysholm score were gradually increased, significantly higher than those before operation [(48.7±20.7)points and (48.2±19.9)points] (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups at any time points (all P>0.05). At 3, 12, and 24 months after surgery, the motion cycle (maximum stride length, minimum stride length and stride frequency) and 6 kinematic indicators (angle of forward bending and backward extension, angle of internal and external rotation, angle of internal and external rotation, internal and external displacement, up and down displacement, and forward and backward displacement) of knee joint were significantly improved in both groups compared with those before surgery (all P<0.05). At 3, 12, and 24 months after surgery, the forward and backward displacement in the tension-relieving group was significantly decreased than that in the traditional group (all P<0.05), but others were not significantly different between the two groups (all P>0.05). The MAS was rated as excellent to good in 14 patients and fair to poor in 2, with the excellent and good rate of 87.5% (14/16) in the tension-relieving group, while the score was rated as excellent to good in 11 patients and fair to poor in 3, with the excellent and good rate of 78.6% (11/14) in the traditional group ( P>0.05). The Professor Ao Yingfang′s improved score was (10.6±1.5)points in the tension-relieving group, markedly higher than that in the traditional group [(9.6±2.3)points] ( P<0.05). No perioperative complications were observed. Conclusion:Compared with anatomic single bundle reconstruction combined with conventional rehabilitation, arthroscopic anatomic single bundle reconstruction of PCL assisted by internal tension relieving technique combined with rapid rehabilitation have higher subjective function score, better anteroposteric stability during knee movement, and better results of secondary microscopy.

Objective:To explore how electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve affects learning and memory in cases of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion and its mechanism.Methods:Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a sham-operation group, a model group and a stimulation group, each of 8. In the model and stimulation groups a chronic cerebral hypoperfusion model was established using the modified 2-VO method. The stimulation group then received electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve for 4 weeks. Afterward all of the rats′ learning and memory were tested using the Morris water maze. HE staining and immunohistochemistry were used to observe any morphological change in the hippocampus and the expression of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF).Results:The model and stimulation groups demonstrated significantly longer escape latency, fewer platform crossing times and shorter target quadrant times than the normal and sham-ope-ration groups before the intervention. All of these indicators had improved after the intervention. According to the HE staining, neuronal damage in the hippocampus was aggravated significantly in the model group compared with the normal and sham-operation groups, while the degree of damage was reduced in the stimulation group. Moreover, the immunohistochemistry results suggested that the expressions of NSE and VEGF were reduced significantly in the model group compared with the normal and sham-operation groups, while in the stimulation group they had increased significantly compared with the model group.Conclusions:Electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve can improve learning and memory in cases of chronic cerebral hypoperfusion, at least in rats. It is probably related to the increased expression of VEGF in the hippocampus.

Solitary brain metastasis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients was previously considered as Stage IV. Gen-erally, only chemotherapy or radiotherapy rather than surgery was considered the treatment for these patients;hence, achieving the de-sired effect was difficult. In recent years, the treatment benefit for these patients significantly increased. Several patients were even pro-vided the chance of being cured through standardized and individualized treatment by a multiple disciplinary team (MDT). This article introduces two solitary brain metastasis patients with NSCLC who were treated by MDT in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. This article aims to explore a complete set of diagnostic and treatment practices for the benefit of more patients.
