Alzheimer's disease (AD), a degenerative disease of the central nervous system, is characterized by progressive degradation of learning, memory, and cognitive functions. Currently, few drugs are available for treating AD, and their effects are limited. Berberine (BBR) is a natural isoquinoline (quaternary ammonium-like) with a wide range of pharmacological effects. Studies have proven that BBR has good potential in the treatment of AD. Specifically, BBR can inhibit the generation, aggregation, and neurotoxicity of amyloid-β and the hyperphosphorylation of Tau protein, promote the clearance of phosphorylated Tau protein, reduce the cholinesterase activity, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress, regulate neuronal apoptosis, improve the mitochondrial function and glucose and lipid metabolism, suppress the monoamine oxidase activity, and modulate gut microbiota. In addition, researchers have ameliorated the low bioavailability of BBR. Probing into the potential targets is hoped to provide a reference for further research on the prevention and treatment of AD by BBR.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcome of arthroscopic suture-button Bristow procedure using suture-button fixation for treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability.Methods:A retrospective case series study was conducted to analyze 28 patients with recurrent anterior shoulder instability admitted to Shanghai Sixth People’s Hospital from March 2015 to September 2018,including 26 males and 2 females,aged 18-36 years [(24.1 ± 3.2)years]. Preoperative MRI showed Bankart injury and three-dimensional CT showed glenoid bone defect > 15%. The Hill-Sachs injury was found in 27 patients. Arthroscopic Bristow procedure was used to fix coracoid process graft with the suture-button plate and glenoid labial complex was repaired with the suture anchor to treat anterior instability of the shoulder joint. The visual analogue scale (VAS),American shoulder and elbow surgeon (ASES) scale,Constant score and Rowe score were used to evaluate the shoulder joint function preoperatively,at postoperative 3,6,12 months and at the last follow-up. The postoperative infection,neurovascular injury,redislocation and other complications were recorded,and the incidence rate was calculated. The bone resorption and bone healing of coracoid process graft were analyzed by CT.Results:All patients were followed up for 22 - 36 months [(24.5 ± 6.3) months]. Three months after operation,the VAS,ASES scale and Constant score were not significantly different from those before operation ( P > 0.05). In comparison,the Rowe score was significantly higher than that before operation ( P < 0.05). Six and twelve months after operation,the VAS,ASES scale,Constant score and Rowe score were significantly improved from those before operation ( P < 0.05). At the last follow-up,the VAS decreased from (2.7 ± 1.5)points preoperatively to (0.8 ± 0.3)points,the ASES scale increased from (78.6 ± 12.7)points preoperatively to (92.4 ± 8.4)points,the Constant score increased from (43.4 ± 5.2) points preoperatively to (81.6 ± 6.7) points,the Rowe score increased from (52.3 ± 7.1)preoperatively to (92.7 ± 5.4) points ( P < 0.05). During the follow-up,there was no infection,neurovascular injury,re-dislocation and other complications. In addition,24 (86%) out of the 28 patient showed healing of coracoid process grafts,and the overall bone resorption rate was (18.4 ± 6.1)%. No patients had glenohumeral joint osteoarthritis. Conclusion:Arthroscopic Bristow procedure using suture-button fixation for treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability has advantages of a low rate of postoperative complications and a high union rate,indicating an effective and safe surgical procedure.

OBJECTIVE: To provide scientific basis for the utilization and development of Miao medicine Oxalis corniculata by promoting the quality standard of it. METHODS: Total of 12 batches of O. corniculata were collected from Guizhou, Anhui and Henan, etc. Microscopic characteristics of 12 batches of O. corniculata powder were observed. According to the corresponding methods in 2015 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part Ⅳ), TLC was used for qualitative identification [developing solvent was trichloromethane-methanol-formic acid (8 ∶ 1 ∶ 0.1, V/V/V)], and the contents of moisture, total ash, acid insoluble ash and alcohol soluble extractive from 12 batches of O. corniculata were determined. The content of isovitexin was determined by HPLC. The determination was performed on Venusil XBP C18 (L) with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid solution (15 ∶ 85, V/V) at the flow rate of 1 mL/min. The column temperature was 35 ℃, and the detection wavelength was set at 338 nm. The sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: Microscopic observation showed that the powder was grayish brown to yellowish brown, with many non-glandular hairs and obvious fibrous pore. Results of TLC identification showed that the spots of the same color appeared in the corresponding positions of the test and the control chromatogram. The contents of moisture, total ash, acid insoluble ash and alcohol soluble extract from samples were 6.66%-12.13%, 9.16%-13.79%, 1.58%-4.63% and 5.22%-15.79%, respectively. Results of HPLC method showed that the concentration of isovitexin showed a good linear relationship in the range of 5.20-78.3 μg/mL (r=0.999 0); RSDs of reproducibility (n=9), intermediate precision (n=6) and stability (24 h, n=6) tests were all lower than 2.0%; and the recovery rates were 97.54%-99.52% (RSD=0.74%, n=6); the contents of isovitexin in 12 batches of O. corniculata were 0.036%-0.144% (n=3). CONCLUSIONS: Qualitative and quantitative identification methods of O. corniculate were established, which can be used as a reference for improving the quality standard of O. corniculata.
