Suppressing effect of calcium-based waste on control of bromine flux during the pyrolysis of printed circuit boards.

The effect of calcium-based addition on the brominate flux during printed circuit board (PCB) pyrolysis was investigated. It was found that bromine (Br) can be effectively fixed in solid phase during PCB pyrolysis by adding calcium-based waste materials. Phenol and 4-ethylphenol are the major products of pyrolysis. When the two kinds of red mud were used as additive, their content was 85.25 and 84.81%, respectively, which was higher than others. The 2-bromophenol and 2-bromo-4-methyl-benzene are the main Br-containing pyrolysis volatiles. After adding calcium-based additive, these two volatiles were apparently reduced and only small amounts of 2-bromo-4-methyl-benzene were detected in the products, namely 0.71 and 0.86%, respectively for the two kinds of red mud. Hence, no matter from the perspective of product use or simple Br-fixing, the bromine in the three-phase products can be effectively regulated and controlled by adding calcium-based waste residue during PCB pyrolysis. Finally, the Br-fixing mechanism was analysed. As a result, when calcium-based waste materials were added to the PCB pyrolysis it made bromine fix easily in the resident yielding a byproduct that can be further used.

PD-1 polymorphisms are associated with sporadic breast cancer in Chinese Han population of Northeast China.

The programmed death-1 (PD-1) is a potent immunoregulatory molecule which is responsible for the negative regulation of T-cell activation and peripheral tolerance. In order to investigate the association between polymorphisms of PD-1 and breast cancer, a case-control study was conducted in Chinese female population consisting of 490 cases with breast cancer and 512 age-matched healthy individuals from Heilongjiang Province of China. Four polymorphisms of the PD-1 gene, including rs36084323 (PD-1.1), rs7421861, rs2227982 (PD-1.9), and rs2227981 (PD-1.5), were selected and genotypes were determined by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The frequencies of PD-1.1 GG genotype and PD-1.5 CT genotype were significantly lower in cases compared with controls (P = 0.020 and 0.004, respectively), and PD-1.5 CC genotype and C allele had higher frequencies in cases (P = 0.003 and 0.010). In haplotype analysis, we observed that the frequencies of ATTC and GTCT haplotypes were lower in cases than those of in controls (P = 0.0055 and 0.0012, respectively), whereas the GTCC and ATCC haplotypes had higher frequencies in cases (P = 0.0040 and 0.00008037, respectively). Additionally, strong association was showed between PD-1.1 and P53, and haplotype CCTA was associated with ER status. These results primarily suggest that PD-1 gene polymorphisms may affect the breast cancer risk and prognosis in Chinese Han females of Heilongjiang Province in Northeast China.

Formulation of expert consensus on clinical application of external ethnic medicine: taking Baimai Ointment as an example / 中国中药杂志

The concept of ethnic medicine is divided into a broad sense and a narrow sense. The broad concept refers to the traditional medicine of the Chinese nation, and the narrow concept refers to the traditional medicine of Chinese ethnic minorities. The external medicine is one of the main forms of ethnic medicine, and it is also the important content of ethnic medicine for external use, which is widely used in clinical practice. As the theory of ethnic medicine is unique, the application methods have certain characteristics, which are the key technical parts of clinical practice. However, the existing traditional Chinese medicine consensus formulation me-thods cannot meet the needs of the consensus formulation of the external ethnic medicine. Therefore, the methods suitable for expert consensus on external ethnic medicine are required. This article took Expert opinion on clinical application of Baimai Ointment as an exa-mple, and explorde a reasonable, effective, multi-dimensional, and multi-stage method to formulate expert consensus on the external ethnic medicine. In this research, three-dimensional sources of information, including ancient classics, clinical research evidence, and expert application experiences, were systematically and scientifically collected. After organization and analysis, the information was formed into comprehensive evidence. In a formal consensus meeting, part of the recommendations reached consensus. As to the issues that did not reach agreement, in-depth interviews were used to explore the reasons for the differences and resolve the disagreements. Finally, unanimous recommendations were reached. There are common problems during the formulation process of Expert opinion on clinical application of Baimai Ointment. This study is expected to provide references for the formulation of expert consensus on other external ethnic medicine.

Systematic review of efficacy and safety of Ginkgo biloba extract 50 in treatment of ischemic stroke / 中国中药杂志

The present study aimed to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ginkgo biloba extract 50(GBE50) in the treatment of ischemic stroke. The databases including CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, SinoMed, PubMed, EMbase, and Cochrane Library were searched for randomized controlled trial(RCT) of GBE50 for the treatment of ischemic stroke reported between database inception and May 2020. The methodological quality of the included RCTs was evaluated via the Cochrane risk of bias tool. The RevMan 5.4 was used for Meta-analysis. Sixteen RCTs were included, involving 1 615 patients with acute ischemic stroke. Most of the included RCTs reported the methods of random sequence generation, but only two performed the concealment of random sequence. All RCTs failed in blinding. Two RCTs reported the information of cases lost to follow-up and drop-outs. Since the number was small, the baselines of groups remained balanced. All RCTs reported key outcomes of ischemic stroke, which made selective reporting bias in a low risk. Meta-analysis results revealed that GBE50 combined with routine therapies could effectively lower the score of the National Institutes of Health stroke scale(NIHSS) and restore cognitive function and daily activity in ischemic stroke patients. Compared with routine therapies, the combination is advantageous in treating patients with ischemic stroke. However, high-quality multicenter RCTs with large sample sizes are still required for verification.

In addition, to produce high-quality evidences for the clinical application of Cheezheng Pain Relieving Plaster, the conclusions of this study shall be further verified with large-sample, scientifically designed and strictly implemented clinical trials.

Maximal aerobic power in children and adolescents of Beijing, China.

The maximal aerobic power of 463 Chinese children and adolescents, 10-19 years, is described. The absolute values of maximal oxygen intake (V̇O2 max) in boys and girls were 1.75-3.26 and 1.44-2.10 L/min, respectively. Relative values of V̇O2 max per unit stature (V̇O2 max/stature) were 12.35-19.42 ml/cm.min for boys and 10.18-13.42 ml/cm.min for girls, values per unit weight (V̇O2 max/weight) were 48.60-56.59 ml/kg.min for boys and 39.34-45.56 ml/kg.min for girls, and values per estimated unit lean body mass (V̇O2 max/lean-body-mass) were 58.98-65.28 ml/kg.min for boys and 54.90-59.04 ml/kg.min for girls. Maximal values of oxygen pulse (V̇O2 max/HRmax) were 8.58-16.67 ml/beat for boys and 6.88-10.35 ml/beat for girls. In early adolescence, V̇O2 max, V̇O2 max/stature, and V̇O2 max/HRmax increased with chronological age, but the increment was less in girls. In contrast, V̇O2 max/weight and V̇O2 max/LBM did not increase with age in boys and girls. All indicators of V̇O2 max were lager in boys than in girls. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

Serum microRNA-381: A Potential Marker for Early Diagnosis of Gastric Cancer

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to explore the potential early diagnostic value of serum microRNA-381(miRNA-381) in patients with gastric cancer (GC). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Patients with advanced gastric cancer (AGC) and early gastric cancer (EGC), as well as healthy individuals, were enrolled in this study. Expression of miRNA-381 in serum was detected using real-time quantitative PCR. Electrochemiluminescence analysis was used to investigate the expression of classic tumor markers, including carbohydrate antigen (CA) 199, CA724, and carcinoembryonic antigen. Finally, receiver operating characteristic curve and Kaplan-Meier analysis were used to determine the value of miRNA-381 in clinical diagnosis of GC. RESULTS: miRNA-381 was differentially expressed among the study groups. AUC analysis showed that the sensitivity and specificity of serum miRNA-381 in the diagnosis of GC were superior to those of other tumor markers. Furthermore, low levels of miRNA-381 expression were positively correlated with lymph node metastasis and AGC. Finally, Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that down-regulation of miRNA-381 was associated with lymph node metastasis and the development of GC. CONCLUSION: miRNA381, which was down-regulated in GC, might be a novel early diagnosis marker for patients with GC.

Objective To compare the consistency of thrombelastography (TEG) and light transmittance aggregometry (LTA) in monitoring the antiplatelet therapy of the patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),and observe the changes of mean platelet volume (MPV) of the patients treated with aspirin and clopidogrel after PCI.Methods A total of 177 patients undergoing PCI and the treatment of aspirin and clopidogrel in Peking University First Hospital during March 2014 and May 2015 were enrolled in the study.Their adenosine diphosphate (ADP) or arachidonic acid (AA) induced platelet inhibition rates determined by TEG,MPV before and after antiplatelet therapy,and the maximum platelet aggregation rates measured by LTA from 99 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results There was no any correlation between the maximum aggregation rates measured by LTA and the platelet inhibition rates determined by TEG regardless of using ADP or AA as agonist (all P ＞ 0.05).The detection rates of clopidogrel hyporesponsiveness determined by LTA and TEG were 30.3％ and 45.5％,respectively,while those of aspirin hyporesponsiveness were 19.2％ and 31.3％,respectively.The detection rate of hyporesponsiveness determined by LTA was significant lower than that by TEG (P ＜ 0.05).The MPVs after antiplatelet therapy were significant lower than that before treatment (all P ＜ 0.01) regardless of clopidogrel hyporesponsive or sensitive and aspirin hyporesponsive or sensitive.The MPVs in clopidogrel hyporesponsive group before and after treatment were significantly lower than that in clopidogrel sensitive group (all P ＜ 0.05).The PLT counts in clopidogrel or aspirin hyporesponsive groups after treatment were significantly higher than that before treatment (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion There is poor correlation between LTA and TEG.It should be noted that the incidence rate of antiplatelet drug hyporesponsiveness is high in clinical practice.The MPVs of the patients significantly decrease after antiplatelet therapy.The patients with a significant increase of PLT after antiplatelet therapy are more likely to become drug hyporesponsiveness,while the patients with lower MPV are more likely to have clopidogrel hyporesponsiveness.
