ObjectiveIn order to explore the utilization value of the seeds dropped in the harvesting, processing, storage and transportation of Prunellae Spica, the character, turgidity and chemical composition of the seeds were analyzed and compared with those of the commercially available varieties, such as chia seeds and basil seeds. MethodCharacter was observed directly. The turgidity was determined according to the method of general rule 2101 of Chinese Pharmacopoeia (part Ⅳ, the 2020 edition). The contents of six phenolic acids (danshensu, protocatechuic acid, protocatechuic aldehyde, caffeic acid, salviaflaside and rosmarinic acid) were determined by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), acetonitrile (A)-0.1% formic acid aqueous solution (B) was used as mobile phase for gradient elution (0-7 min, 2%-8%A; 7-13 min, 8%A; 13-14 min, 8%-17%A; 14-30 min, 17%A), the detection wavelength was at 280 nm. The liposoluble components were extracted by n-hexane and identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and the contents of five fatty acids, namely palmitic acid, oleic acid, stearic acid, linolic acid and α-linolenic acid, were determined on a DB-35MS capillary column (0.25 mm×60.0 m, 0.25 µm), the injection temperature was 250 ℃, the carrier gas was high-purity helium with a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1 and the splitting ratio of 50∶1. The volatile oil was extracted by steam distillation method and its components were identified by GC-MS on a WM-5MS capillary column (0.25 mm×30.0 m, 0.25 µm) with the injection temperature of 250 ℃, the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1 and the splitting ratio of 10∶1. ResultPrunellae Spica seeds were slightly smaller than chia seeds and basil seeds, and their color of seed coat was obviously different. Prunellae Spica seeds had strong water absorption and swelling characteristics, and the turgidity was 17.4 mL·g-1, which was lower than that of chia seeds (25.2 mL·g-1) and basil seeds (35.6 mL·g-1). Prunellae Spica seeds were rich in phenolic and fatty acids, while the content of volatile oil was very low. The main phenolic acids were salviaflaside and rosmarinic acid, with the contents of 0.579% and 0.392%, respectively. The total content of five fatty acids in n-hexane extract was 90.1%, and total content of unsaturated fatty acids was 80.6%, among which content of α-linolenic acid was 50.0%, which was slightly lower than 57.2% of chia seeds and similar to 50.0% of basil seeds. ConclusionPrunellae Spica seeds have good turgidity, rich in phenolic acids and unsaturated fatty acids, and especially with high amount of α-linolenic acid. It is worthy of being developed as functional food to realize comprehensive utilization of the waste resources of Prunellae Spica.

Objective:To explore the cause and treatment of chylothorax after surgery for congenital heart disease(CHD) in newborns.Methods:A retrospective analysis was made to the clinical data of 49 newborns with chylothorax after surgery for CHD within the period from January 2009 to December 2019. These newborns were aged from from 1 day to 28 days with the weight from 2.0 kg to 4.1 kg. The complete transposition of great arteries was performed in 13 cases, coarctation of the aorta/ interruption of the aortic arch in 13 case, right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction/ Blalock-Taussing shunt in 9 cases, total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in 8 cases, ventricular septal defect repair and atrial septal defect repair in 4 cases, ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in 1 case and persisten truncus arteriosus in 1 case. Chylothorax occurred in the right in 19 cases, left side in 20 cases, bilateral in 9 cases and the pericardium in 1 case. The diagnosis was made at the time from 1 day to 22 days after the surgery with an average of 8 days.Results:43 patients were cured(87.75%), 41 cases(83.67%) were cured with diet and support therapy, the course lasted from 4 days to 65 days with an average of 11 days; 1 cases, because of the poor effect of diet and support therapy, was given pleural injection of high-sugar combined with octreotide treatment; 1 case received thoracic duct ligation as the conservative therapy was ineffective; 6 cases of death due to heart failure/ severe pulmonary hypertension after operation, and parents gave up.Conclusion:Individualization conservative therapy is the first choice for chylothorax, while timely surgery can raise the survival rate and save the hospitalization time and the cost.
5.Immunotherapy of recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation for liver cancer
Organ Transplantation 2021;12(3):272-
Primary liver cancer (liver cancer) is one of the main indications of liver transplantation in China. Nevertheless, the 5-year survival rate of liver transplant recipients is lower than 50%. Recurrence and metastasis after operation are the main causes affecting the long-term survival of the recipients. At present, immunotherapy, represented by programmed cell death protein 1(PD-1)/programmed cell death protein-ligand 1(PD-L1) immune checkpoint inhibitor, has achieved remarkable clinical efficacy in the treatment of middle-stage and advanced liver cancer. However, whether it can be applied in recipients with recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation for liver cancer remains controversial. The main reason is that it may cause acute rejection at the same time. In this article, the research progresses on the application of immunotherapy in recipients with recurrence and metastasis after liver transplantation for liver cancer were reviewed, aiming to improve the survival rate of recipients undergoing liver transplantation forliver cancer.

Organ Transplantation 2020;11(6):658-
Organ transplantation is one of the effective methods for the treatment of end-stage diseases, but the lack of donors has hindered the development of organ transplantation. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) can improve the hypoxia and hypoperfusion of organs, shorten the warm ischemia time, and maintain the function of donor organs effectively, in case of emergency or donor hemodynamic instability. It helps to make effective use of donor organs and benefit patients who are in urgent need of organ transplants. This article summarized the progress on application of ECMO in donor maintenance and provided suggestions for its application in organ transplantation.
