OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of Euscaphis japonica from different habitats. METHODS The relative correction factors of gallic acid， protocatechuic acid， ellagic acid， isoquercitrin， astragalin and apigenin were calculated with quercetin as the internal reference； the relative correction factors of euscaphic acid， oleanolic acid， stigmasterol and β-sitosterol were also calculated with ursolic acid as the internal reference. The contents of 12 components in 18 batches of samples were calculated by QAMS method and were compared with external standard method. At the same time， the contents of water-soluble extract， alcohol-soluble extract， total ash and acid-insoluble ash were detected. The quality of E. japonica was evaluated by principal component analysis （PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis （OPLS-DA）， and weighted technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution （TOPSIS） method. RESULTS There was no significant difference between the results of QAMS method and external standard method for the 12 components in the 18 batches of samples. However， notable content variations were observed among different batches of samples. The results of PCA and OPLS-DA showed that S1-S7， S8- S12， and S13-S18 were clustered into one category respectively. Seven key characteristic components variable importance in projection values ＞1， euscaphic acid， ursolic acid， protocatechuic acid， apigenin， β-sitosterol， isoquercitrin， and oleanolic acid， respectively. The analysis results of the weighted TOPSIS method revealed that the relative closeness for evaluating the quality of 18 batches of samples ranged from 0.283 5 to 0.644 1， with the samples of E. japonica from Fengjie， Chongqing， demonstrating the highest quality. CONCLUSIONS The established method is accurate and feasible， which can be used for the quality evaluation of E. japonica combined with chemometrics and weighted TOPSIS model.

ObjectiveTo detect the flexibility differences of Plasmodium berghei K173 （PbK173）-infected red blood cells with varying degrees of sensitivity to artemisinin-based drugs and to preliminarily explore the underlying mechanisms of the differences. MethodA total of 102 specific-pathogen-free （SPF） male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into three groups， with 30 mice each in the control group and PbK173-resistant （PbK173-R） group， and 42 mice in the PbK173-sensitive （PbK173-S） group. Except for the control group， the rest groups were vaccinated with 1×10⁷ PbK173-S/PbK173-R infected red blood cells to establish a mouse malaria model. During the administration and recovery periods （control group， PbK173-R/PbK173-S）， dihydroartemisinin （DHA， 40 mg·kg^-1） and malaridine （MD， 6 mg·kg^-1） were administered continuously for four days. Peripheral blood was taken from the PbK173-S/PbK173-R groups with an infection rate equal to or greater than 20%. Peripheral blood and each organ were taken on the first day at the end of administration （dosing period） and on the fifth day at the end of administration （recovery period）， and blood parameters and organ indices of each group were examined. The osmotic fragility of peripheral blood red blood cells in each group was detected using the red blood cell osmotic fragility test. Western blot was applied to determine the levels of Piezo1 and Band3 proteins in the red blood cell membrane. ResultDuring the administration and recovery periods， there were no significant differences between the PbK173-S MD group and the DHA group. During the administration period， there were no significant differences in hematological parameters between PbK173-S and PbK173-R in the MD group. However， during the recovery period， the red blood cell count， hemoglobin concentration and hematocrit of the PbK173-R group were significantly higher than those of the PbK173-S group （P<0.05） in the MD group. Compared with that of the control group， the osmotic fragility of the PbK173-S/PbK173-R groups was significantly enhanced （P<0.01）， and the osmotic fragility of the PbK173-S group was significantly stronger than that of the PbK173-R group （P<0.01）. The osmotic fragility of red blood cells in the PbK173-S group during the administration period was significantly stronger than that in the control group and PbK173-R group during the administration period （P<0.01）. The osmotic fragility of red blood cells in the PbK173-R group during the recovery period was significantly higher than that in the control group during the administration period and the PbK173-S group during the recovery period （P<0.05）. Compared with those in the control group， the Piezo1 protein and Band3 protein in the red blood cell membrane of the PbK173-S group were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. Compared with those in the PbK173-R group， the Piezo1 protein and Band 3 protein in the red blood cell membrane of the PbK173-S group were significantly reduced. ConclusionThe flexibility of PbK173-infected red blood cells with different sensitivities to artemisinins differed. Plasmodium-infected red blood cells significantly reduced the levels of Piezo1 and Band3 proteins in the red blood cell membrane， and the erythrocyte flexibility exhibited a decreasing trend in the following order： normal group， PbK173-R group， and PbK173-S group.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy and safety of dual antiplatelet therapy guided by thromboelastography (TEG).Methods:One hundred and nine patients with ischemic cerebrovascular diseases, admitted to and accepted dual antiplatelet therapy in our hospital from August 2020 to April 2021, were enrolled in this study. TEG test was completed 3-5 d after treatment, and clopidogrel gene test was completed during hospitalization. According to the results of adenosine diphosphate (ADP) inhibition rate in TEG, they were divided into high-efficiency group, moderate efficiency group and low efficiency group. No medication change was recommended for patients in the high-efficiency group, but medication changes were recommended for patients in the moderate efficiency group and low efficiency group; differences of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, efficacies and safety were recorded in these 3 groups after drug adjustment.Results:The proportion of patients with coronary heart disease in moderate efficiency group was statistically higher than that in high-efficiency group and low efficiency group ( P<0.05). Six patients in the high-efficiency group switched to use aspirin and cilostazol; 28 in the moderate efficiency group and 14 patients in the low efficiency group were disinclined to change their medications and continued to use aspirin+clopidogrel. In patients from the high-efficiency group, the overall incidence of new stroke and in-stent restenosis in patients without changing medications (1/39) was lower than that in patients with changing medications (1/6); in patients from the moderate efficiency group, that in patients without changing medications (6/28) was higher than that in patients with changing medications (1/9); in patients from the low efficiency group, that in patients without changing medications (3/14) was higher than that in patients with changing medications (0/13). In patients with slow metabolism from high-efficiency group, the overall incidence of new stroke and in-stent restenosis in patients without changing medications (2/3) was higher than that in patients with changing medications (1/2). Conclusions:Dual antiplatelet therapy guided by TEG can reduce clinical adverse events without increasing the risk of bleeding. For patients with ADP inhibition rate>70% and clopidogrel genotype (slow metabolism), clopidogrel replacement can further improve efficacy.

Objective To establish a non-venous bypass orthotopic liver transplantation model in Bama miniature pigs with high repeatability and stability. Methods Twelve Bama miniature pigs were randomly divided into the donor group (n=6) and recipient group (n=6). Pigs underwent non-venous bypass orthotopic liver transplantation. The time of anhepatic phase during operation was shortened, blood pressure during anhepatic phase was stably maintained, and management of anesthesia and body fluid during operation were strengthened. The operation time, anhepatic phase and survival status of the recipients were observed and recorded. The intraoperative heart rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and changes in arterial blood gas analysis were monitored. The perioperative liver function was evaluated. Results Among 6 Bama miniature pigs, 1 died from transplantation failure intraoperatively. The operation time of the remaining 5 pigs was (247±27) min and the time of anhepatic phase was (46±4) min. Three animals survived for more than 2 weeks. Compared with the preanhepatic phase, the heart rate of the animals was significantly faster, MAP was considerably reduced to (46±6) mmHg, blood pH value, base excess (BE) and HCO₃^- level were all significantly decreased and serum level of K⁺ was significantly elevated during the anhepatic phase (all P < 0.05). In the neohepatic phase, MAP of Bama miniature pigs was significantly increased, heart rate was dramatically slower.Blood pH value, BE, HCO₃^- level were significantly increased and serum level of K⁺ was significantly declined (all P < 0.05). During abdominal closure, MAP, blood gas indexes and serum level of K⁺ were almost recovered to those in the preanhepatic phase. Compared with preoperative levels, the levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT), aspartate aminotransferase(AST), lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)were significantly increased after operation (all P < 0.05), the change in AST was the most obvious, and it gradually decreased at postoperative 2 d. The level of γ-gutamyl transferase(GGT) did not significantly elevated. The level of total bilirubin (TB) was evidently elevated at postoperative 5 d. Compared with the preoperative levels, the levels of total protein (TP) and albumin (ALB) were significantly decreased after operation (both P < 0.05), and began to gradually increase at postoperative 1 d. Conclusions The non-venous bypass orthotopic liver transplantation model of Bama miniature pig is convenient, with highly reproducible and survival rate, which can be utilized as a standardized liver transplantation model.

Objective: To explore the characteristics of patients visiting emergency department by different ways of transportation. Methods: The medical information of 23 039 patients visiting emergency department from January 2017 to December 2017 was obtained through the Hospital Information System (HIS). There were 20 856 patients visiting emergency arranged by themselves (self-visiting group), and 2 183 patients sent by ambulance (ambulance group). The characteristics of two groups were compared. Results: The proportion of young patients in the self-visit group was the highest (45.97%, 9 587/20 856), and the proportion of elderly patients in the ambulance group was the highest (40.04%, 874/2 183). Throughout the year, the number of patients who came to the hospital by themselves was the highest in the summer, that by ambulance was the highest in the winter, while that was the lowest in spring for both groups. There was no significant fluctuation in the number of patients who came to the hospital during the week. In the self-visited group, the daily peak hours were 18:00-02:00 at night and the ambulance group were 10:00-18:00. The number of visits for top 5 system diseases were trauma, digestive system, other diseases, respiratory system and urinary system diseases in self-visiting group; and were nervous system, trauma, digestive system, respiratory system and circulatory system diseases in ambulance group. The hospitalization rates of self-visiting group and ambulance group were 14.41% (3 006/20 856) and 76.64% (1 564/2 183), respectively. Conclusion The emergency patients with different visiting modes have different characteristics. The information would be useful for rationally allocate emergency resources, optimize the treatment process, improve the emergency capacity and ensure the safety of patients.
