ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE To establish the method for determination of bile acid active constituents (cholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid and sodium taurocholate) in Babao jingfeng powder, and to compare the differences of 3 constituents in Babao jingfeng powder from different manufacturers. METHODS UPLC-MS method was adopted to determine the contents of cholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid and sodium taurocholate in 9 batches of Babao jingfeng powder from 3 manufacturers. The separation was performed on a Phenomenex Luna® C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-water (gradient elution) at a flow rate of 0.5 mL/min. The column temperature was 40 ℃ and the sample size was 2 μL. MS system was operated in a negative ion single quadrupole mode, and the m/z of cholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid and sodium taurocholate were 407.2, 392.2 and 514.2, respectively. With the contents of three components as the index, cluster analysis and principle component analysis were performed on 9 batches of samples. RESULTS The linear ranges of cholic acid, hyodeoxycholic acid and sodium taurocholate were 5.48- 548.40, 5.38-538.40, 4.74-474.05 ng/mL, respectively (r≥ 0.999 3). RSDs of precision, repeatability and stability tests(24 h) were all lower than or equal to 3.7% (n=6), and the average recoveries were 103.3%, 103.3% and 101.6% with RSDs of 3.3%, 3.4%, 4.2% (n=6), respectively. The contentsof cholic acid ranged 0.702-1.711 mg/g, those of deoxycholic acid ranged 0.599-2.049 mg/g, and those of sodium taurocholate ranged 0.664-1.752 mg/g in 9 batches of samples. The average content of 3 components in samples from manufacturer A was high, and the difference between batches was the smallest; the average content of 3 components from manufacturer C was the lowest, and the difference between batches was large. Cluster analysis could basically distinguish samples from different manufacturers; cluster analysis was conducted by using the comprehensive score of principal components as an indicator, the results of which were basically consistent with those of cluster analysis for content. CONCLUSIONS The method is established successfully for the content determination of the 3 bile acid active constituents of artificial bezoar in Babao jingfeng powder. The contents of 3 components in Babao jingfeng powder from 3 manufacturers are significantly different.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the level and significance of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in peripheral blood of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) peripheral neuropathy. Methods:160 patients with T2DM (T2DM group) treated in Yancheng First People's Hospital from January 2018 to March 2019 were selected, including 54 patients with peripheral neuropathy and 106 patients without peripheral neuropathy. At the same time, 160 healthy people were selected as the control group to detect the levels of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg and 25-(OH)D 3 in peripheral blood. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in peripheral blood and other indexes. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) value curve was used to analyze the predictive value of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in peripheral blood of type 2 diabetic peripheral neuropathy. Results:The ratio of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in T2DM group was (7.82±1.03)%, which was significantly lower than that in control group [(15.53±3.82)%, P<0.05]; The duration of T2DM patients with peripheral neuropathy was (7.71±1.18)years, which was significantly longer than that without peripheral neuropathy ( P<0.05), while the proportions of 25-(OH)D 3 and CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg were (49.88±12.27)mmol/L and (5.88±1.20)% respectively, which were significantly lower than that without peripheral neuropathy ( P<0.05); Patients with peripheral neuropathy in group T2DM had significantly higher Michigan Diabetic Neuropathy Scores (MDNS) than that in patients without peripheral neuropathy [(14.82±2.01) vs (4.41±0.43), P<0.05]. The CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg was positively correlated with 25-(OH)D 3 ( r=0.367, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with MDNS ( r=-0.398, P<0.05); the CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg predicted that the area under the ROC curve of T2DM patients with peripheral neuropathy was 0.822, the cut-off value was 6.50%, and the sensitivity and specificity were 80.00% and 72.00% respectively. Conclusions:The level of CD4 + CD25 + Foxp3 + Treg in peripheral blood of T2DM patients decreased, which may play a role in the occurrence and development of peripheral neuropathy.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the association between the nutritional status and related factors in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods Seventy-two patients with PD (PD group) and 71 age-and sex-matched healthy controls (control group) were enrolled in this study from September 2014 to November 2017 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.Their serum nutritional indices,including serum albumin,prealbumin,transferrin,free fatty acid and retinol conjugated protein,were collected.The PD participants were interviewed and assessed using motor and non-motor scales,including Hoehn and Yahr stage,Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS),Non-Motor Symptoms Questionnaire for Parkinson's Disease (NMSS),Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE),Unified Dyskinesia Rating Scale (UDysRS) and 39-item Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (PDQ-39).Their medication dosage was indicated by daily levodopa equivalent doses (LEDD).Body mass index (BMI) was used to determine their nutritional status,with abnormal nutritional status defined as BMI lower than 20 kg/m2.Results Levels of serum albumin (41.60 (40.28,43.98) g/L vs 44.00 (42.30,46.20) g/L,Z=4.500,P<0.01),transferrin ((2.32±0.34) g/L vs (2.51±0.34) g/L,t=-3.305,P=0.001),and free fatty acid (418.00 (289.75,637.25) μmol/L vs 547.00 (386.00,699.00) μmol/L,Z=2.079,P=0.038) of the PD group were significantly lower than those of the control group.There was a significant negative correlation between serum albumin and MDS-UPDRS-Ⅱ score (r=-0.254,P=0.031),MDS-UPDRS-Ⅳ score (r=-0.256,P=0.030),years of dyskinesia (r=-0.240,P=0.043),years of motor fluctuation (r=-0.304,P=0.009) and LEDDs (r=-0.321,P=0.006).Disease duration was negatively correlated with serum albumin (r=-0.285,P=0.015) and transferrin (r=-0.275,P=0.019),and age (r=-0.252,P=0.032) was negatively correlated with prealbumin.The forward binary Logistic regression model indicated that abnormal nutritional status was closely associated with rigidity (OR=1.171,95%CI 1.013-1.354,P=0.032),akinesia (OR=1.070,95%CI 1.000-1.144,P=0.048),UDysRS score (OR=1.051,95%CI 1.004-1.099,P=0.032),MDS-UPDRS-Ⅳ score (OR=1.177,95%CI 1.018-1.360,P=0.027) and MMSE score (OR=0.821,95%CI 0.678-0.994,P=0.043),but not correlated with tremor and axial symptoms.Compared with PD patients with abnormal nutritional status,PD patients with normal nutritional status had higher MMSE scores (28.00 (27.00,29.00) vs 28.00 (25.00,28.00),Z=-2.060,P=0.039),lower rigidity (9.60±3.83 vs 12.00±4.29,t=-2.264,P=0.027),akinesia (19.98 ± 8.00 vs 24.42:±:8.06,t=-2.071,P=0.042) and MDS-UPDRS-Ⅳ scores (8.00 (5.00,11.00) vs 10.00 (9.00,13.00),Z=2.642,P=0.008).Conclusions PD patients tend to have a lower serum nutritional indices.PD patients with lower levels of serum nutritional indices are characterized by more severe motor complication,longer disease duration,older age and higher LEDD.PD patients with abnormal nutritional status have worse cognition and more severe motor symptoms (rigidity,akinesia and motor complication).
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the application of fuzzy mathematics theory in the evaluation of medical students' comprehensive mental quality. Methods A total of 80 medical undergraduates studying in the Affiliated Huai'an No.1 People’s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from October to December 2017 were randomly selected to conduct a questionnaire survey on medical students' mental quality. The questionnaires were designed by the study group, containing 3 first-level items (learning pressure, life stress and interpersonal stress), and 19 secondary items, with the recovery rate as 95%. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method was used for data processing and analysis. Results By comparing the data obtained from the comprehensive evaluation of the secondary factors with those of the pre-set evaluation set, the study concluded that 25.00% of the medical students need to adjust the future pressure, 41.70% the family health status pressure and 26.79% the appearance pressure according to the principle of maximum mem-bership degree. The comprehensive evaluation of the first four factors (0.249 7, 0.268 9, 0.270 2, and 0.211 2) showed that the comprehensive mental quality of medical students was "good". The quantitative analysis results showed that 27.02% of the medical students had good comprehensive mental quality, 24.97% need the mental quality adjustments, 26.89% had the average mental quality, and 21.12% had outstanding mental quality. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation indicated that it is necessary to adjust the learning pressure and life stress of medical students, while the interpersonal stress had little effect on the mental quality of medical students. Conclusion The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation adopts the quantitative method to deal with the qualitative indicators uniformly, being scientific and reasonable. The corresponding data of each indicator can be easily identified with the help of the indicator system built up in the evaluation, which provides evidence for distinguishing and improving the corresponding decision-making for improving the medical students' mental quality. This evaluation method has strong applicability and provides new methods and ideas for objectively evaluating the comprehensive mental quality of medical students.

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) of splenic tumors.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Seven patients with 8 pathologically confirmed splenic tumors (including 2 metastases from the ovary and 4 from the lung, gastric adenocarcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, or rectal carcinoma; 1 hemangioma and 1 inflammatory pseudotumor) with sizes ranging from 1.3 to 6.2 cm (mean 3.1 ± 1.9 cm) were treated with MWA. A cooled shaft needle antenna was percutaneously inserted into the tumor under ultrasound guidance. A thermocouple was placed about 0.5 cm away from the tumor to monitor the temperature in real time during the ablation. The microwave emitting power was set at 50-60 W. The treatment efficacy was assessed by contrast-enhanced imaging at 1, 3 and 6 months following the procedure, and every 6 months thereafter.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>All the tumors were completely ablated in a single session and no complications occurred. No local tumor progression was observed during a median follow up time of 13 months (4 to 92 months). The ablation zone, well defined on contrast-enhanced imaging, was gradually reduced with time. A new metastatic lesion was detected in the spleen at 11 months after the ablation in a ovarian carcinoma patient and was successfully treated by a second MWA. The post-ablation survival of the patients with splenic metastasis was 13 months (range 4 to 92 months). No complications other than fever and abdominal pain were observed in these patients.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Ultrasound-guided percutaneous MWA is a safe and effective minimally-invasive technique for treatment of splenic tumors in selected patients.</p>

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the clinical value of [11C]CFT PET in the diagnosis and severity assessment of Parkinson disease (PD). Methods Thirty-eight patients with PD at various Hoehn & Yahr (H&Y) stages were included and underwent a [11C]CFT PET scan. The correlation between [11C]CFT uptake and unified Parkinson disease rating scale part III (UPDRS III) of PD patients was evaluated by calculating Pearson’s regression coefficient. Statistical parametric mapping (SPM) analysis was performed to compare the difference of dopamine transporter (DAT) distribution between ear-ly and advanced PD patients. Results There was a significant reduction of [11C]CFT uptake in the bilateral striatum of PD patients. There was a significant negative correlation between clinical scores of UPDRS III, rigidity, bradykinesia, pos-ture, gait and [11C]CFT uptake in the striatum. The SPM analysis revealed a significant and asymmetric decrease of [11C] CFT uptake in the striatum, predominantly on the putamen and caudate nucleus contralateral to the onset limb, in the posterior area of ipsilateral putamen in early PD (H&Y 1-2) patients compared with the normal controls. There was a sig-nificant symmetric decrease of [11C]CFT uptake in both putamen and caudate nucleus in advanced PD (H&Y 3-5) pa- tients, compared with normal controls. Compared with early PD patients, the reduction of DAT was more severe in bilater-al caudate nucleus and the ipsilateral putamen in the advanced PD patients. Conclusions [11C]CFT PET is a sensitive biomarker in the diagnosis and assessment of disease severity of PD patients.

ABSTRACT
A simple, reliable and sensitive liquid chromatography-isotope dilution mass spectrometry (LC-ID/MS) was developed and validated for quantification of olanzapine in human plasma. Plasma samples (50 microL) were extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether and isotope-labeled internal standard (olanzapine-D3) was used. The chromatographic separation was performed on XBridge Shield RP 18 (100 mm x 2.1 mm, 3.5 microm, Waters). An isocratic program was used at a flow rate of 0.4 m x min(-1) with mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and ammonium buffer (pH 8). The protonated ions of analytes were detected in positive ionization by multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) mode. The plasma method, with a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.1 ng x mL(-1), demonstrated good linearity over a range of 0.1 - 30 ng x mL(-1) of olanzapine. Specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, recovery, matrix effect and stability were evaluated during method validation. The validated method was successfully applied to analyzing human plasma samples in bioavailability study.

The isolated pathogens were tested following Koch's postulates and identified as Fusarium oxysporum. The suitable growth conditions for the F. oxysporum were 15-30 degrees C, pH 6-8, the optimal condition was 21.9 degrees C and pH 7.2. Some fungicides were demonstrated to be effective to inhibit the pathogen growth. 70% thiophanate-methyl and 58% metalaxyl MZ were most effective to inhibit the pathogen. The EC50 were 0.002 7, 0.066 2 g x L(-1), respectively.
