Study on Metabolomics of Stable Angina Pectoris of Coronary Artery Heart Disease with Spleen Deficiency and Phlegm Turbidity Syndrome Based on LC-MS / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

Objective To analyse the differential metabolites and related metabolic pathways in stable angina pectoris of coronary artery heart disease with spleen deficiency and phlegm turbidity syndrome by serum metabolomics.Methods This study observed 60 patients with stable angina pectoris of coronary artery heart disease with spleen deficiency and phlegm turbidity syndrome and 60 healthy volunteers in the same period.Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS)was performed on the serum metabonomics.The differential metabolites were identified by multivariate statistical analysis of the original spectrogram and original data,and enrichment analysis of KEGG metabolic pathway was analyzed.Results A total of 60 patients in the group of stable angina pectoris of coronary artery heart disease with spleen deficiency and phlegm turbidity syndrome participated in the study,and a total of 60 healthy volunteers in the control group participated in the study.There was no statistical difference in general information and biochemical indicators between the two groups(P>0.05);Eighteen differential metabolites were found respectively,including phenylacetaldehyde,orthophosphate,guanosine,diethyl phosphate,2-dehydro-d-gluconate,guanine and 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazole down-regulated expression,taurocholate,2-propylglutaric acid,8-amino-7-oxononanoate,l-tyrosine,s-sulfo-l-cysteine,cyclohexanecarboxylic acid,porphobilinogen,(r)-acetoin,octanoylglucuronide,melatonin and solanine up-regulated expression,involving phenylalanine metabolism,thiamine metabolism,purine metabolism.Conclusion The differential metabolites reveal the metabolic essence of stable angina pectoris of coronary artery heart disease with spleen deficiency and phlegm turbidity syndrome from the micro level,and can provide clues for clinical early warning of patients with stable angina pectoris of coronary artery heart disease with spleen deficiency and phlegm turbidity syndromet.

Innovation-driven trend shaping COVID-19 vaccine development in China / 医学前沿

Confronted with the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, China has become an asset in tackling the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission and mutation, with several innovative platforms, which provides various technical means in this persisting combat. Derived from collaborated researches, vaccines based on the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 or inactivated whole virus are a cornerstone of the public health response to COVID-19. Herein, we outline representative vaccines in multiple routes, while the merits and plights of the existing vaccine strategies are also summarized. Likewise, new technologies may provide more potent or broader immunity and will contribute to fight against hypermutated SARS-CoV-2 variants. All in all, with the ultimate aim of delivering robust and durable protection that is resilient to emerging infectious disease, alongside the traditional routes, the discovery of innovative approach to developing effective vaccines based on virus properties remains our top priority.

Efficacy of perioperative management in elderly hemorrhoids patients undergoing procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids / 中华老年医学杂志

Objective To investigate the efficacy of perioperative management in elderly hemorrhoids patients undergoing procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids(PPH).Methods A total of 128 elderly patients treated with PPH in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Jiaxing University from February 2018 to January 2019 were enrolled and randomly divided into the routine group(n=64)and the intervention group(n=64).The routine group underwent routine postoperative management,and the intervention group received intervention postoperative management as add-on to routine postoperative management.Clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups.Results The frequency of constipation and hematoehezia was less and the hospitalization days were shorter in the intervention group than in the routine group(0.8 ± 0.6 times/d vs.1.2 ± 0.4 times/d,1.3 ± 0.8 times/d vs.2.0± 1.0 times/d,4.9± 1.1 days vs.7.4± 1.3 days,t =4.438,4.372 and 11.744 respectively,all P =0.000).The scores of visual analog scale(VAS) and geriatric depression scale (GDS) had no significant difference between the intervention and routine groups (5.0 ± 1.6 scores vs.5.2 ± 1.3 scores for VAS;22.2± 2.9 scores vs.22.5 ± 2.6 scores for GDS,t =0.776 and 0.616,P =0.220 and 0.269)before intervention,and had significant difference between the intervention and routine groups[2.7 ± 0.7 scores vs.3.2 ± 1.1 scores for VAS;17.2 ± 1.8 scores vs.19.0 ± 2.2 scores for GDS(t =3.068 and 5.066,P=0.001 and 0.000)]after intervention.The scores of quality of life,including physiological function,emotional function,social function,mental health and health status,were higher in the intervention group than in the routine group (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Intervention perioperative management is effective in elderly hemorrhoids patients undergoing procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids,It can not only effectively improve clinical symptoms and shorten treatment time,but also alleviate pain and improve prognosis and quality of life.
