ObjectiveTo establish the identification method of Dalbergiae Odoriferae Lignum(DOL) and its counterfeits by nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectrum(1H-NMR) combined with multivariate statistical analysis. Method1H-NMR spectra of DOL and its counterfeits were obtained by NMR, and the full composition information was established and transformed into a data matrix, and the detection conditions were as follows:taking dimethyl sulfoxide-d6(DMSO-d6) containing 0.03% tetramethylsilane(TMS) as the solvent, the constant temperature at 298 K(1 K=-272.15 ℃), pulse interval of 1.00 s, spectrum width of 12 019.23 Hz, the scanning number of 16 times, and the sampling time of 1.08 s. Similarity examination and hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA) were performed on the data matrix of DOL and its counterfeits, and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) was used to analyze the data matrix and identify the differential components between them. In the established OPLS-DA category variable value model, the category variable value of DOL was set as 1, and the category variable value of the counterfeits was set as 0, and the threshold was set as ±0.3, in order to identify the commercially available DOL. The OPLS-DA score plot was used to determine the types of counterfeits in commercially available DOL, and it was verified by thin layer chromatography(TLC). ResultThe results of similarity analysis and HCA showed that there was a significant difference between DOL and its counterfeits. OPLS-DA found that the differential component between DOL and its counterfeits was trans-nerolidol. The established category variable value model could successfully identify the authenticity of the commercially available DOL. The results of the OPLS-DA score plot showed that there were heartwood of Dalbergia pinnata and D. cochinchinensis in the commercially available DOL, and were consistent with the TLC verification results. ConclusionThere is a phenomenon that heartwood of D. pinnata and D. cochinchinensis are sold as DOL in the market. 1H-NMR combined with multivariate statistical analysis can effectively distinguish DOL and its counterfeits, which can provide a reference for the identification of them.

Central venous stenosis is a common complication following long-term dialysis catheter placement in dialysis patients. Generally, percutaneous angioplasty is the treatment of choice, and venous stent implantation should be considered in different situations. However, the venous stent migrating into right atrium is a rare but fatal complication. We presented a patient whose superior vena cava stents migrated into right atrium, resulting in acute tamponade, and exploratory thoracotomy was proceeded.

Macular edema is formed by the accumulation of extracellular fluid or intracellular fluid in the macular area of the retina. In a physiological state, the retina is kept relatively dehydrated and transparent, thereby ensuring the transmission of optical signals. This process requires multiple active or passive liquid transport systems to be performed together, and any of these process anomalies can disrupt the retinal water ion homeostasis, causing an imbalance between fluid entry and exit processes, leading to fluid formation. Macular edema is not an independent disease, it can occur in the process of many retinal diseases. It is the main cause of serious damage to the central vision, the main causes of diabetes, retinal vein occlusion, choroidal angiogenesis, uveitis, postoperative inflammation and tumor. This review mainly discusses the complex mechanism of macular edema caused by retinal barrier dysfunction when retinal water ion homeostasis is abnormal at the cellular and molecular levels. The purpose of this review is to provide a deeper overview of macular edema and its mechanisms of development, opening up new prospects for new prevention and treatment strategies for macular edema, a serious threat to vision.

Objective To investigate the level of platelet parameter of uterine cervical cancer patients and its clinical significance. Methods Seventy-four cases with cervical cancer (the observation group) from Ningde Municipal Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from May 2014 to May 2016 were chosen as the research subjects. Seventy-four cases of healthy people were treated as the control group. According to the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), the observation group was divided into 15 cases under stage ⅡB(the early stage group), 59 cases of ⅡBstage and above (the middle and advanced stage group). Platelet count (Plt) and mean volume of platelet were monitored and compared by using Japan automatic blood cell analyzer. Results Plt in the observation group was higher than that in the control group [(266 ±71) × 109/L vs. (215 ±42) × 109/L, respectively], and the difference was statistically significant (t = 5.322, P< 0.05). The average volume of platelet in the observation group was lower than that in the control group [(9.2±1.2) fl vs. (9.9±1.3) fl, respectively], and the difference was statistically significant (t =-3.931, P < 0.05); There was no statistical difference in the Plt and mean volume of platelet between the early stage group and the middle and advanced stage group (both P>0.05). Conclusions The determination of platelet parameter has a certain clinical significance for screening and early detection of uterine cervical cancer.

Objective To evaluate the ergotropic effect of bone cement on pedicle screw fixation in treatment of osteopo-rotic thoracolumbar fracture.Methods Fifty-three patients with osteoporotic thoracolumbar fracture, admitted from Jun. 2013 to Dec. 2014, were included for treatment by augmentation of pedicle screw fixation with bone cement. All patients underwent pre-operative examination of bone mineral density with T-score ≤-2.5 and augmentation of pedicle screw fixation with injection of 1.5 ml bone cement in adjacent to fractured vertebra. All patients were treated with anti-osteoporosis therapy pre- and post-operation, ob-served and recorded with basic conditions and complications. At pre-operation, one-week post-operation and last follow-up, pain vi-sual analogue scale (VAS) and neurological function score (ASIA) of all patients were recorded, and the compression rats of anterior and posterior edge of fractured vertebra, and compression rats of spinal canal and Cobb angel of all patients were measured.Results All the 53 patients were successfully undergone operation in about 90-140 min with blood loss of about 150-350 ml. No spinal cord or nerve injury, dural tear and obvious leakage of bone cement and screw loosening occurred during operation. All patients were followed up for 12 to 36 months and the neurological function obviously recovered contrasted with pre-operation. X-ray and CT examination at last follow-up showed good fractures healing, good position and non-loosening of internal fixation device and non-leakage of bone cement. At one week post-operation and last follow-up, VAS, compression rats of anterior edge and posterior edge of fractured vertebra, compression rats of spinal canal and Cobb angel were significantly lower than those at pre-operation (P<0.05), but no significant differences existed on these parameters between 1 week post-operation and last follow-up (P>0.05).Conclusions Augmentation of pedicle screw fixation with bone cement can effectively strengthen the initial stability of pedicle screw in osteo-porosis, restore the height of fractured vertebra and reduce the compression of spinal canal, which will help the correction of spinal kyphosis and neurological function recovery. This method can well maintain long-term stability of internal fixation in osteoporosis and height of fractured vertebra, and significantly reduce the risks of long-term screw loosening and vertebral collapse.
