Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-Exactive Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap HRMS) was employed to systematically analyze the chemical constituents in Lysionoti Herba, and high perfor-mance liquid chromatography-ultraviolet(HPLC-UV) to determine the content of main compounds. A Synergi~(TM) Hydro-RP 100 Å colu-mn(2 mm×100 mm, 2.5 μm) was used for gradient elution with acetonitrile-0.1% aqueous formic acid as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.2 mL·min~(-1) and a column temperature of 40 ℃. MS and MS/MS were conducted with electrospray ionization(ESI) in both positive and negative modes. The chemical components in Lysionoti Herba were identified by comparison with the retention time and mass spectra of reference compounds and the relevant mass spectral data reported in MS databases and relevant literature. Furthermore, the content of five constituents(neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, forsythoside B, acteoside, and nevadensin) in different Lysiono-ti Herba samples was simultaneously determined by HPLC-UV at the wavelength of 330 nm. A total of 84 compounds were identified in Lysionoti Herba, including 27 flavonoids, 20 phenylethanoid glycosides, 5 amino acids, 18 organic acids, 1 alkaloid, 6 nucleosides, and 7 others. The content of neochlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, forsythoside B, acteoside, and nevadensin showed good linear relationship(r>0.999) with the peak area within certain concentration ranges, which were 3.22-102.90, 12.84-410.82, 31.63-1 012.01, 25.00-800.11, and 4.08-130.51 μg·mL~(-1), respectively. The instrument precision, method repeatability, and solution stability all met requirement, and the average recovery rate was 97.31%-100.2%, with RSD ranging from 0.95% to 2.4%. The content of the five components varied among different Lysionoti Herba samples collected from different regions of Guizhou, and the average content of forsythoside B was the highest. The established qualitative method can rapidly and efficiently identify the chemical components of Lysionoti Herba, and the developed HPLC-UV method can simultaneously determine the content of five components in a simple, ra-pid, and accurate manner, providing a scientific basis for the quality evaluation of Lysionoti Herba.

Objective: Based on a cohort and intervention study of the Eastern Chinese Student Surveillance, Cohort and Intervention Study (ES-SCI), this research aims to explore the correlation between monitor of the school environment and longitudinal data on myopia and provide evidence for the government myopia intervention strategy. Methods: This survey adopts the stratified cluster sampling method with the school as the unit. Students from grade 1 to grade 3 were selected according to the whole class to monitor the school environment in the classroom. Students will use the full-automatic computer optometer (TOPCON RM800) to conduct optometry from 2019 to 2021 under the condition of mydriasis to perform refractive eye examinations. Meantime eye axis length monitoring was also conducted. Cox proportional risk regression model was used to explore the relationship between school environmental monitoring and the occurrence and development of students' myopia. Results: From 2019 to 2021, 2 670 students from 77 classrooms participated in the observation study. The students' diopter after right/left eye mydriasis decreased in varying degrees (P<0.001), and the axial length of the right/left eye increased in various degrees (P<0.001). The weighted qualified rate of per capita area of primary school classrooms increased from 18.0% in 2019 to 26.0% in 2021, the weighted average illuminance pass rate of blackboard surface increased from 23.8% in 2019 to 26.4% in 2021, and the weighted average illuminance pass rate of classroom table decreased from 86.7% in 2019 to 77.5% in 2021. The trend chi-square test was significant (P<0.05). Cox proportional risk regression showed that after correcting for the grade, gender, parental myopia, diet, sleep, near work (sitting posture, working time, electronic mobile equipment, eye exercises), and outdoor activities, the per capita area of 1.36- m2 was the protective factor of eye axis length (HR=0.778, 95%CI: 0.659-0.918, P=0.003); The average reflection ratio of blackboard 0.15-0.19 was the protective factor of eye axis length (HR=0.685, 95%CI: 0.592-0.793, P<0.001); The average illumination of the blackboard 150-, 300-, 500- lx was the protective factor of the eye axis length (HR=0.456, 95%CI: 0.534-0.761, P<0.001; HR=0.794, 95%CI: 0.705-0.895, P<0.001; HR=0.690, 95%CI: 0.619-0.768, P<0.001). The blackboard evenness 0.40-0.59 was the risk factor of eye axis length (HR=1.528, 95%CI: 1.018-2.293, P=0.041), and the blackboard evenness 0.80- was the protection factor of eye axis length (HR=0.542, 95%CI: 0.404-0.726, P<0.001). The evenness of the desktop 0.40-0.59 was the protective factor of eye axis length (HR=0.820, 95%CI: 0.698-0.965, P=0.017). The average illuminance of 150-, 300-, 500- lx was the protective factor of a diopter (HR=0.638, 95%CI: 0.534-0.761, P<0.001; HR=0.911, 95%CI: 0.848-0.978, P=0.011; HR=0.750, 95%CI: 0.702-0.801, P<0.001). The average illumination of desktop 500- lx was a protective factor of a diopter (HR=0.855, 95%CI: 0.763-0.958, P=0.007). Conclusion: School environmental monitoring indicators, such as meeting per capita area standards, passing blackboard, and desk top-related indicators, all play protective effects on myopia development in students.

In view of the problems and difficulties encountered in the teaching of specimen sampling, through five years of exploration and attempt, this paper has gradually established a new model with five basic elements, including theory teaching, practice teaching, promoting teaching effect by examination, learning from senior students, and review teaching. The results of evaluation analysis and questionnaire survey show that the teaching mode can make the trainees master the methods of specimen sampling quickly and efficiently, learn and improve clinical skills in practice, and lay a solid foundation for the subsequent standardized training of histopathological diagnosis.

Clinical features and prevention of dislocation after resection and reconstruction of tumors involving pelvic area II / 中华骨科杂志

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of dislocation after resection and reconstruction of tumors involving pelvic area II, and to try to propose intraoperative and postoperative techniques to prevent its occurrence.Methods:From March 2011 to March 2021, 122 patients with resection and reconstruction involving pelvic area II were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 17 had postoperative dislocation, 32 had pelvic area II, and 31 had pelvic area I+II. There were 40 cases in the pelvic area II+III, and 19 cases in the pelvic area I+II+III. There were 49 female patients and 73 male patients; the mean age was 47 years (9-73 years). The Musculoskeletal Tumor Society (MSTS) score of lower extremity patients after reduction was evaluated, and the clinical characteristics of dislocation, such as dislocation direction, dislocation time and reduction method, were counted and analyzed, and feasible prevention measures were analyzed based on the imaging characteristics after resection and reconstruction. dislocation method.Results:Among the 122 patients, there were 17 cases of dislocation, and the dislocation rate was 13.7%. Among them, 12 cases were anterior dislocation, accounting for 70.6% of anterior dislocation; 5 cases were posterior dislocation, and the proportion of posterior dislocation was 29.4%, difference (χ 2=4.52, P=0.033). There were 12 cases of dislocation within 3 months after operation, accounting for 70.6%; 1 case of dislocation occurred in 5 months after operation, and the other 4 cases of dislocation occurred for more than one year. The MSTS score of the dislocation patients after reduction was 56.1±15.6% (20%-80%). Combined with postoperative imaging examinations, the feasible methods for preventing dislocation include: The anteversion angle of the acetabular cup can be appropriately reduced (0°-10°); The acetabular cup can be appropriately shifted to the rear of the rotation center; Appropriately reducing the anteversion angle of the femoral neck prosthesis, the combination of the three can reduce the occurrence of femoral-acetabular prosthesis impingement; at the same time, the affected limb is controlled in a neutral position with strict nail shoes after surgery to avoid the occurrence of external rotation. Conclusion:The dislocation after tumor resection and reconstruction in pelvic area II is mostly anterior dislocation. Postoperative CT scan of the pelvis shows that the space between the neck of the femoral stem prosthesis and the lower edge of the acetabulum is small, which is prone to impingement. If the anteversion angle of the acetabular cup is appropriately reduced, the acetabular prosthesis is appropriately displaced posteriorly, and the anteversion angle of the femoral neck is reduced by 5°, the possibility of femoral-acetabular impingement can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of postoperative dislocation.

Aim To construct Flp-In CHO cell line(CYP2A13-CHO)stably expressing cytochrome P450 family 2 subfamily A member 13(CYP2A13)and Flp-In CHO cell line(CYP2A13-POR-CHO)stably co-expressing CYP2A13 and cytochrome P450 oxidoreductase(POR), from which a cell line with better metabolic activity is selected.Method In our previous study, we had constructed a Flp-In CHO cell line(POR-Flp-In CHO)stably expressing POR using lentiviral vector.The recombinant plasmids of pcDNA5/FRT-CYP2A13 were constructed and transfected into Flp-In CHO cells and POR-Flp-In CHO cells through LipofectamineTM 2000.The expression and activity of CYP2A13 were detected by real-time quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR), Western blot and Aflatoxin B1(AFB1)/4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone(NNK)cytotoxicity assay and the metabolic activity was compared between CYP2A13-CHO and CYP2A13-POR-CHO.Results Compared with non-transfected cells, the mRNA and protein expression of CYP2A13 in CYP2A13-CHO and CYP2A13-POR-CHO cells both increased significantly.Besides, compared with CYP2A13-POR-CHO, CYP2A13-CHO cells were more sensitive to AFB1 and NNK.Conclusions The Flp-In CHO cell line stably expressing CYP2A13 and with better metabolic activity has been established successfully, which provides a tool for screening of pre-carcinogens that can be metabolically activated by CYP2A13.

Association between glycolysis and mitochondrial dysfunction and its potential value in liver diseases / 临床肝胆病杂志

Glycolysis plays an important role in the development and progression of liver diseases and shows varying degrees of enhancement in different liver diseases, and it is closely associated with mitochondrial dysfunction (oxidative phosphorylation deficiency and reactive oxygen species production), which helps to fill energy production deficiency caused by impaired oxidative phosphorylation. Therefore, it might be possible to search for potential new therapies for liver diseases through targeted regulation of the key factors in aerobic glycolysis, such as hexokinase 2, pyruvate kinase M2, and other regulatory pathways. From the perspective of the association between glycolysis and liver diseases, this article elaborates on the therapeutic significance and potential value of glycolysis in liver diseases, in order to provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of liver diseases.

Effective Components of Periploca forrestii Against Rheumatoid Arthritis by Targeting TNF-α / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo analyze the effective components of Periploca forrestii against rheumatoid arthritis（RA）by targeting tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α based on network pharmacology and experimental verification. MethodThe preliminary research of the research group found that the alcohol extracts of P. forrestii （CDLF and CQAF） had significant anti-RA activities，and 10 monomers with such activities were identified. The anti-RA activities of active monomers，CDLF， and CQAF were compared by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）with interleukin（IL）-6，nitric oxide （NO），IL-1β， and prostaglandin E2（PGE2）as indicators. Network pharmacology was employed to analyze the possible molecular mechanism of P. forrestii against RA. The targeting ability of P. forrestii chemical monomers to TNF-α was verified by TNF-α molecular docking，surface plasmon resonance （SPR）， and TNF-α-induced L929 injury model. ResultELISA showed that the anti-RA activities of CDLF and CQAF were significantly stronger than those of identified 10 active monomers. Network pharmacology analysis showed that the core targets of P. forrestii against RA were signal transducer and activator of transcription protein 3 （STAT3），TNF， and IL-6. Gene Ontology（GO） analysis revealed collagen catabolism，inflammatory response，positive regulation of nuclear factor kappa-B（NF-κB） transcription factor activity，and positive regulation of B cell proliferation. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （EKGG） pathway enrichment analysis demonstrated TNF signaling pathway，phosphoinositide 3-kinase（PI3K）/protein kinase B（Akt） signaling pathway，NF-κB signaling pathway，Toll-like receptor signaling pathway，mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK） signaling pathway， etc. Verification experiments by TNF-α molecular docking，SPR， and TNF-α-induced L929 injury model found that CDLF and CQAF had good binding activities and could manifestly antagonize TNF-α. However， the active components separated and identified from CDLF and CQAF did not show the same anti-TNF-α activity. ConclusionThe CDLF and CQAF of P. forrestii may treat RA by targeting TNF-α. The experiments found that the isolated chemical components had weaker binding activity to TNF-α than CDLF and CQAF. Meanwhile，the research group isolated chemical components with a minimum mass fraction of 0.25 ng·g-1 from P. forrestii， which suggested that the active components generated by binding to TNF-α with anti-RA activities were presumedly trace components .

Proteomics Analysis of Mechanism of Shenxiong Glucose Injection in Antagonizing H2O2-Induced Oxidative Damage in H9c2 Cells / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Shenxiong glucose injection （SGI） in inhibiting hydrogen peroxide （H2O2）-induced oxidative damage in H9c2 cells by tandem mass tags （TMT）-labeled quantitative proteomics. MethodH9c2 cells cultured in vitro were exposed to H2O2 for inducing oxidative damage. The cell viability was measured by cell proliferation and cytotoxicity assay （MTS）， followed by peptide fractionation by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） and protein expression detection in H9c2 cells by ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. MaxQuant （v1.5.2.8） was utilized for data retrieval， and the high-resolution mass spectrometry was conducted to screen out differentially expressed proteins， which were then subjected to gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） enrichment analysis. The protein expression levels of perilipin 2 （Plin2） and tropomyosin 1 （Tpm1） in cells were measured by Western blot. ResultThe spectral analysis yielded 48 608 specific peptide fragments and 5 903 quantifiable proteins. Compared with the model group，the SGI group exhibited 82 differentially expressed proteins，of which 22 were up-regulated and 60 were down-regulated. GO analysis results showed that the differentially expressed proteins were mainly involved in biological processes such as programmed cell death regulation，regulation of cell proliferation，cardiovascular system development， and cell migration. As revealed by KEGG analysis， these proteins were mainly related to peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor （PPAR），focal adhesion，phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt），and Ras-related protein 1 （Rap1） pathways. Western blot results demonstrated that compared with the model group，SGI significantly increased the Plin2 protein expression and decreased the Tpm1 protein expression （P<0.01），consistent with the proteomics results. ConclusionSGI may inhibit cell apoptosis and antagonize H2O2-induced cell oxidative damage by regulating PPAR，focal adhesion，PI3K/Akt and Rap1 pathways，which should be further verified by subsequent experiments.

Association between cholesterol and liver regeneration and its significance and potential value in clinical treatment of liver failure / 临床肝胆病杂志

Liver failure is a common severe liver disease syndrome in clinical practice and is one of the critical medical conditions in internal medicine. Massive hepatocyte death is the main pathological feature of liver failure, and its core mechanisms include endotoxin, immune response, and inflammatory cascade reaction. Effective regeneration of hepatocytes to compensate liver function is the physiological basis for promoting the good prognosis of liver failure, which directly affects the prognosis and quality of life of patients with liver failure. It has been found in clinical practice that liver failure patients with a low serum level of cholesterol tend to have an extremely high mortality rate, but as an index of hepatocyte anabolism, the association between cholesterol and hepatocyte regeneration has not been taken seriously. Based on the association between cholesterol and liver regeneration, this article reviews its significance and potential value in the clinical treatment of liver failure, in order to understand the pathogenesis of liver failure from another perspective and provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of liver failure and the development of drugs.

Objective:To study the effect of Aidi injection （AD） on the expression of cytochrome P450 isoenzyme 1A2，2E1，3A2，2C11（CYP1A2，2E1，3A2，2C11）mRNA and protein in rats with N-nitrosodiethylamine （DEN） chemically induced primary hepatocellular carcinoma（HCC）. Method:Three healthy SD male rats were randomly selected as the blank group， and the remaining rats were treated with DEN intermittently induced primary hepatocellular carcinoma rat model. After success of the model， the rats were randomly divided into model group and AD group， with 3 rats in each group. The rats in the blank group and model group were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mL·kg^-1 saline， while those in the AD group were intraperitoneally injected with 10 mL·kg^-1AD once a day， a total of 14 d intervention. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of CYP1A2， CYP2E1， CYP3A2 and CYP2C11， respectively. Result:Real-time PCR results showed that after 14 days of drug administration， compared with the blank group， the mRNA expressions of CYP1A2， CYP2E1， CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 were all down-regulated in para-cancerous tissue （PCT） and cancerous tissue （CT） in model group， and there were significant differences （<italic>P</italic><0.05，<italic>P<</italic>0.01）. Compared with the model group， the mRNA expressions of the four subtype enzyme were significantly down-regulated in PCT in the AD group（<italic>P</italic><0.05，<italic>P<</italic>0.01）， while the mRNA expressions of the four subtype enzyme were significantly up-regulated in CT （<italic>P</italic><0.05）， and the expression was down-regulated overall. Western blot results showed that compared with the blank group， the protein expressions of CYP1A2， CYP2E1， CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 in CT of the model group were significantly down-regulated （<italic>P</italic><0.01）， and the protein expressions of CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 were significantly down-regulated in PCT （<italic>P</italic><0.01）. Compared with the model group， the protein expressions of CYP1A2， CYP2E1， CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 in CT and PCT were down-regulated in the AD group， but the differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion:AD can down-regulate the mRNA and protein expressions of CYP1A2， CYP2E1， CYP3A2 and CYP2C11 in rat liver tissues. In clinical use of AD， attention should be paid to drug interactions that may be caused by CYP450 enzyme inhibition.

The species, distribution, drug resistance rate of pathogenic bacteria of the infected group were analyzed. The immune status, serum neuron-specific enolase (NSE), squamous cell carcinoma associated antigen (SCC) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels of the two groups were compared. Results A total of 174 strains of pathogenic bacteria were isolated and cultured from 102 patients in the infected group, of which 94 strains were gram-negative (accounting for 54.02%), mainly Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and 46 strains were gram-positive bacteria (26.44%), mainly Staphylococcus aureus and Coagulase-negative staphylococcus. In addition, there were 34 strains of fungus (19.54%). Gram-negative bacteria were resistant to aztreonam and cefotaxime, while gram-positive bacteria were resistant to penicillin and erythromycin. The serum levels of NSE, SCC and CEA in the infected group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). The levels of CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood of the infected group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion After lung cancer treatment, the pathogenic bacteria of patients with pulmonary infection were mainly gram-negative bacteria. The immune function of patients with pulmonary infection decreased, and the tumor markers such as serum NSE and SCC increased.

Expert consensus on prevention and cardiopulmonary resuscitation for cardiac arrest in COVID-19

Background: Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) strategies in COVID-19 patients differ from those in patients suffering from cardiogenic cardiac arrest. During CPR, both healthcare and non-healthcare workers who provide resuscitation are at risk of infection. The Working Group for Expert Consensus on Prevention and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation for Cardiac Arrest in COVID-19 has developed this Chinese Expert Consensus to guide clinical practice of CPR in COVID-19 patients. Main recommendations: 1) A medical team should be assigned to evaluate severe and critical COVID-19 for early monitoring of cardiac-arrest warning signs. 2) Psychological counseling and treatment are highly recommended, since sympathetic and vagal abnormalities induced by psychological stress from the COVID-19 pandemic can induce cardiac arrest. 3) Healthcare workers should wear personal protective equipment (PPE). 4) Mouth-to-mouth ventilation should be avoided on patients suspected of having or diagnosed with COVID-19. 5) Hands-only chest compression and mechanical chest compression are recommended. 6) Tracheal-intubation procedures should be optimized and tracheal-intubation strategies should be implemented early. 7) CPR should be provided for 20-30 min. 8) Various factors should be taken into consideration such as the interests of patients and family members, ethics, transmission risks, and laws and regulations governing infectious disease control. Changes in management: The following changes or modifications to CPR strategy in COVID-19 patients are proposed: 1) Healthcare workers should wear PPE. 2) Hands-only chest compression and mechanical chest compression can be implemented to reduce or avoid the spread of viruses by aerosols. 3) Both the benefits to patients and the risk of infection should be considered. 4) Hhealthcare workers should be fully aware of and trained in CPR strategies and procedures specifically for patients with COVID-19.

Relationship between DEAD-box helicase 5, transcription factor 12 and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis / 解剖学报

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression of DEAO-box helicase 5(DDX5) and transcription factor 12(TCF12) with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ( ALS ) hippocampal lesions by detecting the expressions and the interaction of DDX5 and TCF12 in the hippocampus of SOD1-G93A mutant ALS transgenic mice. Methods Forty- two pairs of SOD1-G93A mutant ALS transgenic mice and wild-type mice were divided into three groups at the age of 95 days (early onset stage), 108 days (middle onset stage) and 122 days (late onset stage). RT-PCR, Western blotting and double immunofluorescence labeled technique were used to detect the expressions of DDX5 and TCF12 in the hippocampus. Co-immunoprecipitation assasy was used to detect the interaction between DDX5 and TCF12. Results Compared with the wild-type mice of the same age, DDX5 and TCF12 mRNA in the hippocampus of SOD1-G93A mutant ALS transgenic mice were unchanged, but DDX5 and TCF12 protein were up-regulated significantly at day 95, 108 and 122. DDX5 and TCF12 positive cells were found in both DG area and hippocampus proper, and DDX5 and TCF12 were co-localized with neurons. The immunoreactivities of DDX5 and TCF12 in the hippocampus of SOD1-G93A mutant transgenic mice were elevated compared with wild-type mice at the same time point. Co-immunoprecipitation assasys confirmed that there existed interactions between DDX5 and TCF12 protein. Conclusion DDX5 and TCF12 protein are up-regulated in the hippocampal tissues of SOD1-G93A mutant ALS transgenic mice. The abnormal expressions of DDX5 and TCF12 are involved in the hippocampal lesions of ALS.
