1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-D-glucose (PGG) is one of the main active compounds of Guizhi Fuling capsule. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) have high affinity toward template molecules synthesized by molecularly imprinted technology for its specific combined sites, which can overcome the shortcoming of traditional separation methods, such as complex operation, low efficiency, using large quantity of solvent and environmental pollution. In this paper, surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIP) was prepared by surface imprinting with PGG as the template molecule. Its adsorption capacity was measured by the scatchard equation. The separation of PGG from Guizhi Fuling capsule at preparatived scale was achieved with molecularly imprinted polymer as stationary phase and the purity was 90.2% by HPLC. This method can be used to prepare PGG from Guizhi Fuling capsule with large capacity and is easy to operate. It provides a new method for efficient separation and purification for other natural products.

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>Mammography is the principle imaging modality used for early diagnosis of breast cancer in Western countries. It has not been well-established whether this Western diagnostic modality is adoptable for Chinese women. The aim of this study was to evaluate the respective accuracy of the common diagnostic tools for breast cancer including history-taking, physical examination, ultrasound and mammography.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Clinical presentation and investigations for consecutive patients undergoing history-taking, physical examination, ultrasound, mammography and pathological assessment at Peking Union Medical College Hospital were prospectively recorded between April 2010 and September 2011. Breast cancer high-risk factors acquired by history-taking were input into the risk assessment model established previously by Eleventh Five Year Key Programs for Science and Technology Development of China (Grant No. 2006BAI02A09) and classified into low-, medium-, high- and extremely high-risk groups. The low- and medium-risk groups were defined as test negative, while the high- and extremely high-risk groups were defined as test positive. Each mammogram and ultrasound was reported prospectively using a five-point reporting scale of the American College of Radiology (ACR) Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS). Clinical data were compared with pathological findings. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PRV), negative predictive value (NPV) and accuracy of respective diagnostic methods were calculated and compared. The patients were divided into two groups, above and below 50 years of age for subgroup analysis.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>A total of 1468 patients (1475 breast lesions) constituted the study population. The median age was 44 (range 13 - 92) years. Five hundred and fifty-one patients were diagnosed as breast cancer. The median age at diagnosis was 51 years and breast cancer peaked in the age group of 40 - 60 years. The sensitivity of risk assessment model, physical examination, ultrasound and mammogram was 47.5%, 86.2%, 89.8% and 79.3%, respectively; specificity was 68.8%, 83.3%, 81.0% and 88.7%, respectively; PRV was 47.6%, 75.5%, 73.8% and 80.8%, respectively; NPV was 68.8%, 91.0%, 93.0% and 87.8%, respectively; and accuracy was 60.9%, 84.4%, 84.3% and 85.2%, respectively. Further subgroup analysis demonstrated that age is an important factor influencing the sensitivity and specificity of physical examination, ultrasound and mammography.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Ultrasound is more sensitive than mammography for early diagnosis of breast cancer in Chinese women and should be routinely used as a first-line diagnostic tool. Only a single diagnostic method is not enough sometimes and combined examination is needed for some high-risk populations.</p>

<p><b>BACKGROUND</b>The equations for estimating glomerular filtration rate (GFR) based on creatinine have been found to have limitations and have not been generalizable across all populations. Equations based on cystatin C provide an alternative method to estimate GFR. Whether the equation based on cystatin C alone or combined creatinine would improve GFR estimates has not been validated among Chinese patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes. The aim of this study was to compare the performance of the modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) equation based on creatinine with the five cystatin C-based formulae for estimation of GFR in patients with CKD and diabetes.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 166 patients with CKD and 91 patients with type 2 diabetes were enrolled in this study. Cystatin C was measured by using the particle-enhanced immunonephelometric method and estimated formulae proposed by five different investigator teams (Stevens, Ma, Rule, Macisaac and Perkins). The plasma clearance of (99m)Tc-DTPA was determined as measured GFR (mGFR).</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>For CKD patients, the bias and accuracy for the Ma and Macisaac equations were superior compared with the MDRD, and the mean results for the Ma formula were closer to mGFR than the other equations in CKD stages 2 - 5. The differences between Macisaac and mGFR in CKD stages 2 - 4 were significantly less than those in CKD stage 1 or 5. Stevens and Rule's formulae revealed a similar bias and accuracy compared with the MDRD equation. The MDRD formula had a higher accuracy in CKD stages 3 - 5 as compared with the results in other stages. For diabetic patients, the mean results between Macisaac and mGFR were closer than those of other equations in mGFR >or= 90 mlxmin(-1)x1.73 m(-2) stage. In GFR 60 - 89 mlxmin(-1)x1.73 m(-2) stage, the MDRD formula showed the smallest difference compared with other equations. All equations overestimated GFR in the cases with GFR < 60 mlxmin(-1)x1.73 m(-2) stages. The MDRD formula had a greater accuracy within 50% of mGFR than the equations based on cystatin C in diabetic patients. Perkins formula showed a large positive bias and low accuracy, therefore it may not be suitable for assessing GFR in patients with CKD and diabetes.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>The formulae for estimating GFR based on cystatin C or creatinine have different trends and accuracies in patients with CKD and diabetes, especially in patients with various GFR levels. The equations based on cystatin C provide less accurate results than MDRD formulae, at least in the diabetic patients. Therefore, whether the formulae based on cystatin C are superior to MDRD formula requires further investigation in large diverse populations.</p>

Objective To investigate the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) on neurocan expression in the peri-infarct cortex in rats after middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Methods Ninety SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (SO), MCAO group and EA treatment group (ET). Heat-coagulation method was used to establish MCAO in the rats in the latter two groups. The rats in the ET group received EA treatment at the acupoints Neiguan, Waiguan, Zusanli and Sanyinjiao for 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks after MCAO. Immunohistochemistry, quantitative real-time RT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of neurocan in the peri-infarct cortex after the treatment. Results Neurocan expression was detected in and around the GFAP-positive cells near the cerebral infarct foci following MCAO. Neurocan mRNA in rats with MCAO increased significantly 1 week after MCAO, reaching the peak level (0.806±0.224) in the second week and maintained the high expression level till 4 weeks after MCAO. In the EA treatment group, neurocan mRNA began to decrease in the first week of EA treatment followed by gradual decrease till reaching the lowest level (0.031± 0.018) in the 4th week of EA treatment. In the rats in MCAO group, the expression of neurocan protein increased progressively 1 week after MCAO and reached the highest level in the fourth week (0.878± 0.049); EA treatment significantly reduced neurocan expression in the second week of treatment, and resulted in the lowest expression level (0.292±0.042) in the fourth week of treatment. All these differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusions EA treatment can inhibit the expression of neurocan in the peri-infarct area, which might be one of the mechanisms of EA to reduce glial scar formation after cerebral infarction.
