不同规格怀牛膝不同极性部位HPLC指纹图谱

目的研究并比较不同规格怀牛膝不同极性部位的HPLC指纹图谱,探索其内部质量差异,为该药材的规格标准完善及临床用药提供参考。方法将怀牛膝用体积分数75%乙醇水浴回流提取,得体积分数75%乙醇回流提取物,用40 mL水溶解后,依次用石油醚、三氯甲烷、乙酸乙酯、正丁醇进行萃取,得到各萃取相及萃取后的水相,浓缩至浸膏,采集各部位HPLC指纹图谱;运用相似度、综合聚类法进行数据分析,同时对其不同部位的指纹图谱进行比对分析。结果石油醚、氯仿部位均标定了11个共有峰,乙酸乙酯部位标定了10个共有峰,正丁醇部位标定了19个共有峰,水部位标定8个共有峰;氯仿部位指纹图谱相似度差异较大,其他部位指纹图谱相似度差异较小,均在0.9以上;石油醚部位指纹图谱差异主要体现在峰高,乙酸乙酯部位、氯仿部位、水部位的化学成分种类及峰高均存在差异;综合聚类分析能将不同规格怀牛膝区分开。结论不同规格怀牛膝内部质量存在差异;实验中所建立的HPLC指纹图谱可以全面反映不同规格怀牛膝的化学成分分布,为不同规格怀牛膝的整体质量评价提供参考。     

2019年西宁市城区PM2.5中多环芳烃的污染特征及健康风险评价

目的 了解西宁市城区PM2.5中多环芳烃(PAHs)污染水平，并对其致癌风险进行评价。方法 2019年每月10 - 16日在西宁市城北区和城东区采集PM2.5样品，对其16种美国环保署优控PAHs的质量浓度及其组成特征进行分析，运用毒性当量浓度及终身超额致癌风险(ECR)进行毒性评价。结果 城北区和城东区PM2.5年平均浓度分别为3.10×10 - 2 mg/m3和2.50×10 - 2 mg /m3，均低于国家标准。城北区、城东区PAHs总浓度年均值分别为16.53(1.62～259.25) ng/m3和10.96(0.55～88.45) ng/m3，且2个区春季、夏季、秋季和冬季均以4～6环PAHs为主。PAHs的主要来源有燃煤及薪柴燃烧、汽油排放。毒性评价结果表明,16种PAHs以BaP为参照物的等效质量浓度(BaPeq)范围为2.00×10 - 5～3.32 ng/m3，城北区、城东区中ΣBaPeq分别为4.27 ng/m3、2.97ng/m3，BaP毒性最强，对ΣBaPeq的贡献率占75%以上; 城北区、城东区中Σ16PAHs的总ECR分别为3.72×10 - 4和2.58×10 - 4。结论 西宁市城区PM2.5中多环芳烃(PAHs)终身呼吸性患癌风险（ECR）大于10 - 4，对西宁市城区居民具有潜在健康风险。     

Penicillium piceum infection: diagnosis and successful treatment in chronic granulomatous disease.

Infections due to Penicillium species other than P.marneffei are rare. We identified a boy with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) with a pulmonary nodule and adjacent rib osteomyelitis caused by Penicillium piceum. The only sign of infection was an elevated sedimentation rate. P. piceum was isolated by fine needle aspirate and from excised infected tissues. Surgical removal and one year of voriconazole treatment were very well tolerated and led to complete recovery. Microbiological, microscopic and molecular studies support the fungal diagnosis. P. piceum should be considered as a relevant pathogen in immunocompromised patients.

Primary hypothyroidism presenting as ovarian tumor and precocious puberty in a prepubertal girl.

We report a case of a prepubertal girl with juvenile primary hypothyroidism presenting as ovarian cysts and precocious puberty. The 7-year-old female was referred to our clinic because of a pelvic/abdominal mass and vaginal bleeding. Besides these findings, on physical examination we noticed the thyroid gland globally increased and the presence of secondary sexual characteristics. Based upon the clinical profile and investigations, the patient was diagnosed with juvenile primary hypothyroidism due to autoimmune thyroiditis. The cysts and precocious puberty resolved spontaneously after the simple replacement of thyroid hormone. It is important to bear in mind hypothyroidism in cases of girls presenting ovarian cysts and precocious puberty in order to avoid unnecessary surgery on the ovaries.
