影响蒲黄质量的主要问题及其质量标准的研究探讨

目的：总结近年来蒲黄监督检验工作中发现的影响质量的主要问题,为蒲黄药材真伪鉴别、质量标准完善提供建议。方法：基于掺杂、增重、染色问题,采用性状鉴别、显微鉴别、杂质检查、总灰分检查及金胺O染色检查方法,分析检验过程中遇到的问题,探讨现行标准在质量控制中的可行性。结果与结论：试验结果可见掺杂、增重的样品必然伴随有染色问题,现行的质量标准在蒲黄掺杂、增重、染色方面有较为全面有效的检测手段,但在标准执行中常因问题错综复杂,而标准检验项目承接不明确,造成判定结论裁决困难的问题。建议细化蒲黄药材质量标准,增订草蒲黄的质量标准,完善蒲黄质量标准,并建立蒲黄炮制品（包括炒蒲黄和蒲黄炭）的质量标准,以便更全面地控制蒲黄药材质量。

Fungal burden exposure assessment in podiatry clinics from Ireland

Fungi are amongst the bioaerosols of most importance, as indicated by the growing interest in this field of research. The aim was to characterize the exposure to fungal burden in podiatry clinics using culture-based and molecular methods. Methods: Airborne fungi were collected using an impaction air sampler and surface samples were also performed. Fourteen air samples were collected for direct detection of fungal DNA from filamentous fungi and dermatophytes. Overall, 63.6 % of the evening samples and 46 % of the morning samples surpassed the threshold values (150 CFU/m³). Molecular detection, by real time PCR, of the target fungal species/strains (Aspergillus and Stachybotrys species) was negative for all samples collected. Trichophyton rubrum was detected by PCR analysis in one DNA sample collected on day six. Results suggest the use of both culture-based and molecular methodologies are desirable for a complete evaluation of fungal burden in this particular health care setting.     

Psychological effects of belonging to a Facebook weight management group in overweight and obese adults: Results of a randomised controlled trial

This study was conducted to test whether the weight outcomes in an online social networking group were mediated by changes to psychological outcome measures in overweight and obese individuals, following a weight management programme delivered via Facebook. The data analysed in this study were collected during a three‐armed, randomised, controlled clinical weight management trial conducted with overweight and obese adults over 24 weeks. Two intervention groups were given the same weight management programme: one within a Facebook group, along with peer support from other group members (the Facebook Group); the other group received the same programme in a pamphlet (the Pamphlet Group). A Control Group was given standard care. The primary outcome was weight; secondary outcomes included the following domains from self‐reported questionnaires: energy intake and expenditure; psychological health, social relationships, physical health, quality of life, depression, anxiety, stress, health anxiety, happiness, as well as Facebook Group participants’ opinion of this group. The Facebook Group experienced a reduction in their baseline weight measurement by week 24, significantly compared to the Control Group (p = .016). The Facebook Group recorded a significant increase in the psychological health domain during the trial (at week 12) relative to their baseline measurement, and significant compared to the Control Group (p = .022). Mediation analysis indicated a statistical trend, but not statistical significance, for psychological health as a mediator to weight loss in the Facebook Group. While both intervention groups showed significant changes in psychological outcome measures, the Facebook Group was the only group to experience statistically significant weight loss by the end of the 24 weeks. Therefore, an examination of other psychological and/or behavioural outcome measures undertaken in larger studies in the future may help to identify significant mediators to improved weight loss outcomes in online social networking groups.     

Peser les patients habillés induit un risque de surestimation de leur statut nutritionnel

In institutions and at home, some patients may have difficulty mobilizing and undressing, or refusing to put on their underwear. It is therefore likely that weighing dressed patients is a common practice. The overestimation of the body weight thus obtained could lead to an error in the evaluation of the nutritional status. The aim of the study was to determine the extent to which adult patients dressed versus underwear could alter their nutritional status. Fifty-one patients were included. Dressed weighing overestimated the actual weight of 1.6 ± 0.6 kg and induced an overestimation of nutritional status classification in almost 14% of cases. In addition, the weight of the clothes was different according to the sex and the conditions of outside temperature. These results suggest that it is desirable as much as possible to weigh all adult patients in underwear.     

Effects of gestational weight gain on pregnancy complications

Introduction and objective

Gestational weight gain (GWG) has been reported to be associated with pregnancy outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of GWG on maternal and birth complications.

低出生体质量儿坏死性小肠结肠炎的影响因素及手术疗效分析

目的 探讨低出生体质量儿坏死性小肠结肠炎(NEC)的影响因素、手术疗效与预后。 方法 以2006年1月至2015年12月收治的146例低出生体质量NEC患儿为病例组,另采用随机数字表法选取同期在新生儿重症监护室(NICU) 住院治疗的146例非NEC低出生体质量儿为对照组。分析两组患儿的临床资料,采用单因素和多因素分析探讨NEC的影响因素,并分析NEC患儿中手术组与保守治疗组疗效的差异。 结果 多因素logistic回归分析显示,母乳喂养与喂服益生菌为NEC的保护性因素,先天性心脏病、败血症与输血是NEC的危险因素。手术组的好转率(95.45%)明显高于保守治疗组(85.00%)(P<0.05)。 结论 低出生体质量儿NEC的发病受多种因素影响,应针对其影响因素进行综合干预。适合的手术疗法能提高疗效,改善患儿的预后。     

Homoisoflavanones with estrogenic activity from the rhizomes of Polygonatum sibiricum

A new homoisoflavanone, (3R)-5-hydroxy-7-methoxyl-3-(2′-hydroxy-4′- methoxybenzyl)-chroman-4-one (1), together with six known analogs, were isolated from the rhizomes of Polygonatum sibiricum. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of extensive spectroscopic analysis. All compounds were tested for their estrogenic activity using the MCF-7 estrogenresponsive human breast cancer cell lines. At a dose of 0.1 μmol/L, compounds 1–7 exhibited significant proliferative effects on MCF-7 cells compared with E₂. The molecular docking study results indicated that the activity of compounds 3, 5, 6, and 7 may be the binding with ERR.
