ABSTRACT
This study aimed to characterize and identify the non-volatile components in Pogostemonis Herba by using ultra-perfor-mance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with UNIFI and an in-house library. The chemical components in 50% methanol extract of Pogostemonis Herba were detected by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS in both positive and negative MS~E continuum modes. Then, the MS data were processed in UNIFI combined with an in-house library to automatically characterize the metabolites. Based on the multiple adduct ions, exact mass, diagnostic fragment ions, and peak intensity of compounds and the fragmentation pathways and retention behaviors of reference substances, the structures identified by UNIFI were further verified and those of the unidentified compounds were tentatively elucidated. A total of 120 compound structures were identified or tentatively identified, including flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, phenolic acids, terpenes, fatty acids, alkaloids, and phenylethanoid glycosides. Sixteen of them were accurately identified by comparison with reference substances, and 53 compounds were reported the first time for Pogostemonis Herba. This study systematically characterized and identified the non-volatile compounds in Pogostemonis Herba for the first time. The findings provide a scientific basis for revealing the pharmacodynamic material basis, establishing a quality control system, and developing products of Pogostemonis Herba.
ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of clinical trials, the relevant medical research and molecular detection based on biological samples are closely related to the progress of clinical trials, making the role of biological samples in clinical trials increasingly obvious. The standardized supervision mode of biological samples is an important prerequisite for carrying out high-quality clinical trials. Although the laws and regulations related to clinical trials are becoming more and more perfect, there are still a large number of adverse events related to biological samples, which seriously affects the progress and results of clinical trials, and is one of the important challenges currently facing. Therefore, it is urgent to enhance the supervision of biological samples and improve the management methods of biological samples in clinical trials at this stage. Through in-depth discussion of the current status of biological sample management in clinical trials at home and abroad, this paper analyzed the issues existed during the supervision of biological samples, and supplemented the biological sample management methods by further combing the existing relevant laws and regulations and the Guidelines for the Ethical Management of Biological Samples in Clinical Trials, with a view to providing suggestions and ideas for optimizing the management mode of biological samples in clinical trials.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To retrospectively analyze clinical characteristics and treatment of pemphigus/bullous pemphigoid (BP) complicated by herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection.Methods:Inpatients with pemphigus/BP complicated by HSV infection were collected from Wuhan No.1 Hospital from 2016 to 2021, and their clinical characteristics, treatment and follow-up results were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 8 patients with pemphigus/BP complicated by HSV infection, there were 2 males and 6 females, and their age was 50.6 ± 8.3 years. Five of them were diagnosed with pemphigus vulgaris (PV), 1 with pemphigus foliaceus (PF), and 2 with BP. Seven were infected with HSV-1, and 1 with HSV-2. All the 8 patients were given systemic glucocorticoids and immunosuppressive agents for the treatment of pemphigus or BP, and were admitted to the hospital due to resistance to the treatment. Seven patients presented with exacerbation or recurrence of primary lesions, and 1 presented with enlarged lesions all over the body. HSV infection-induced lesions were located on the trunk in 4 cases, on the oral mucosa in 4, on the scalp in 3, and on the face in 2; lesions mainly manifested as irregular erosions with blood crusts, and some centrally umbilicated pustules; 7 patients had obvious pain at the lesional sites. During HSV infection, anti-desmoglein 1 antibody levels decreased in all the 6 patients with pemphigus, and anti-desmoglein 3 antibody levels decreased in 4 of the 5 patients with pemphigus vulgaris; anti-BP180 antibody levels decreased in 1 patient with BP, but increased in the other one with BP. After antiviral therapy at adequate doses for adequate durations (7- to 14-day treatment with valacyclovir alone or in combination with ganciclovir), HSV infection was controlled, the autoimmune bullous skin disorder intensity scores decreased compared with those before the antiviral therapy, and pain was significantly relieved in all the patients. No dose adjustment of glucocorticoids or other immunosuppressive agents was made during antiviral therapy in all patients.Conclusion:HSV infection should be considered when patients with pemphigus/BP suffer from recurrence or exacerbation and poorly respond to conventional treatment; for patients with pemphigus/BP complicated by HSV infection, systemic antiviral therapy at adequate doses can be used to control the disease condition without modifying the conventional immunosuppressive regimen.

The ability of enhancing ultrasound imaging was observed in vitro and in vivo. To investigate the enhanced HIFU ablation effect of R848-MBs, six EMT6 tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into HIFU group and R848-MBs+ HIFU group, three mice in each group, the changes in contrast average sound intensity before and after ablation in mouse tumor areas and the change of ultrasound image gray value in tumor area were evaluated, the tumor were resected to observe the coagulative necresis by TTC staining and HE staining. Forty-five tumor-bearing mice were randomly divided into control group, Free R848 group, HIFU group, Blank-MBs+ HIFU group and R848-MBs+ HIFU group, nine mice in each group. On the third day after treatment, 3 mice in each group were randomly selected and killed, to evaluate the ability of R848-MBs to improve tumor immune microenvironment synergize with HIFU. The expression level of CRT on the surface of tumor cells were detected by immunofluorescence staining, the proportion of mature DC in lymph nodes, spleen, and CD8 + T cells in spleen were detected by flow cytometry. The treatment effectiveness of each group( n=6) were evaluated by measuring tumor volume, observing and drawing survival curves. Results:The R848-MBs lipid microbubbles with good safety were successfully prepared, with a concentration of 2.58×10 9/ml, as spherical bubbles under optical microscope and laser confocal microscopy, in a particle size of (1.72±0.11)μm, at a surface potential of (-10.16±0.73)mV. The cumulative drug release was up to 83.44% after HIFU (90 W, 3 s) in vitro. The concentration of R848 in plasma decreased rapidly, and the drug concentration in tumor tissue of the R848-MBs+ HIFU group was higher than that of the R848 group 24 hours after treatment ( P<0.01). The ultrasound imaging of R848-MBs was significantly enhanced in contrast mode in vitro and in vivo; R848-MBs can significantly enhance the HIFU ablation effect, the contrast average sound intensity change in the tumor area before and after ablation in the R848MBs+ HIFU group was greater than that in the R848 group ( P<0.05), and the immediate ultrasound grayscale value change in the HIFU+ R848-MBs group was 46.34±3.21, which was significantly greater than that in the HIFU group (10.67±1.53), with statistical significance ( P<0.000 1). Coagulation necrosis was observed in tumor HE staining and TTC staining. The results of treatment efficacy in vivo showed that R848-MBs+ HIFU group had the strongest therapeutic effect, and R848-MBs combined with HIFU treatment could significantly prolong the survival period of mice compared with intravenous injection of free R848 ( P<0.01). Immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry results showed an increase in the expression level of CRT on the surface of tumor tissue in the R848-MBs combined with HIFU group, and the percentage of mature DC in tumor draining lymph nodes (58.53±1.04)% were significantly higher than those in the HIFU group (37.56±2.13)% ( P<0.001), and the percentage of mature DC in the spleen (70.65±1.91)% were significantly higher than those in the HIFU group (36.46±3.89)% ( P<0.001), the percentage of CD8 + T cells in the spleen (27.46±3.04)% was significantly higher than that in the HIFU group (18.69±0.29)% ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The HIFU controlled-release lipid microbubbles R848-MBs can not only enhance the efficiency of HIFU ablation, but also improve the tumor immune microenvironment.
ABSTRACT
Targeted to the junior nursing students in our university, we applied experiential teaching in the course of Obstetrics and Gynecology Nursing to carry out humanistic care infiltration education, which mainly included three parts: aesthetic activities in theoretical class, experiential activities in experimental class and enlightenment after class. After class, compared with the nursing students who were educated by traditional teaching methods, the quality of humanistic care of nursing students who accepted experiential teaching was improved more obviously. It is suggested that the application of experiential teaching is effective in infiltrating humanistic care education in nursing professional courses, which is also in line with the development of nursing discipline.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of electromagnetic navigation-guided localization and CT-guided percutaneous localization for pulmonary nodules. Methods The literature published from the inception to January 2021 about the comparison between electromagnetic navigation-guided localization and CT-guided percutaneous localization for pulmonary nodules in the PubMed, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, EMbase, Chinese Wanfang database and CNKI database was searched. RevMan (version 5.4) software was used for meta-analysis. Nonrandomized controlled trials were evaluated using methodological index for nonrandomized studies (MINORS). Results A total of six retrospective studies (567 patients) were included in this meta-analysis. MINORS scores of all studies were all 17 points and above. There were 317 patients in the CT-guided percutaneous localization group and 250 patients in the electromagnetic navigation-guided localization group. The complication rate of the CT-guided percutaneous localization group was significantly higher than that in the electromagnetic navigation-guided localization group (OR=11.08, 95%CI 3.35 to 36.65, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in the success rate of localization (OR=0.48, 95%CI 0.16 to 1.48, P=0.20), localization time (MD=0.30, 95%CI –6.16 to 6.77, P=0.93) or nodule diameter (MD=–0.07, 95%CI –0.19 to 0.06, P=0.29) between the two groups. Conclusion Electromagnetic navigation can be used as an effective preoperative positioning method for pulmonary nodules, which has the advantage of lower complication rate compared with the traditional CT positioning method.

Transmission electron microscopy showed that the nanoparticles were spherical with uniform shape and size, with a particle size of (209.8±1.56)nm and a potential of (-25.9±1.36)mV. Laser confocal scanning microscopy showed that t-P@TFP nanoparticles could gather around 4T1 cells in a targeted manner. It had an efficient photothermal conversion effect, and nanoparticles could quickly become microbubbles after being irradiated by near-infrared laser, which enhanced the in vitro ultrasonic imaging effect; The photoacoustic signal of nanoparticles increased with the increase of concentration. CCK-8 method, double staining of living and dead cells and flow cytometry showed that t-P@TFP combined photothermal chemotherapy had the best anti-tumor effect. Conclusions:t-P@TFP nanoparticles are successfully prepared. The nanoparticles have good targeting ability for photoacoustic and ultrasonic imaging and have good photothermal effect, killing breast cancer cells, which is expected to realize the integration of diagnosis and treatment.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the effect of diabetic retinopathy (DR) on macular edema (ME) after cataract phacoemulsification in diabetic cataract patients and its risk factors.Methods:A total of 170 diabetic cataract patients (170 eyes) who underwent cataract phacoemulsification in the department of ophthalmology, BenQ Medical Center Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected. All patients underwent monocular cataract phacoemulsification. They were divided into DR group (100 cases) and non diabetic retinopathy group (NDR group, 70 cases) according to whether or not DR was combined. The improvement of visual acuity and fundus lesions were compared between the two groups, the correlation between the severity of DR and the incidence of macular fovea retinal thickness and ME was analyzed, and the risk factors of DR were analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive value of diabetes course, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) on ME.Results:Compared with NDR group, the DR group had better postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), larger area of vascular leakage and bleeding. The retinal thickness of fovea was significantly thickened, and the incidence of ME in DR group was significantly higher than that in NDR group (all P<0.05). The severity of DR was positively correlated with the retinal thickness of fovea and the incidence of ME (all P<0.05). The duration of diabetes, VEGF and IL-6 were independent risk factors for DR (all P<0.05). The best critical values for predicting me were 4.7 years, 127.82 pg/ml and 136.45 pg/ml, respectively. The combination of the three has higher diagnostic value. Conclusions:DR can accelerate the postoperative ME of diabetic cataract patients, and is positively correlated with the severity of DR. The duration of diabetes, VEGF and IL-6 are not only independent risk factors of DR, but also have high predictive value for the occurrence of ME.
ABSTRACT
@#After the integration of Yangtze River Delta was elevated and developed into a national strategy, few domestic studies have been conducted to explore the integrated and collaborative development of biopharmaceutical industry in the Yangtze River Delta region, which, as an important region of biopharmaceutical industry in China, has initially formed the development mode of industrial clusters. In this study, based on the industry-university-research model of patent and fund project cooperation, the social network analysis (SNA) method is used to analyze and study the cooperation of patent and Major Projects of National Natural Science Foundation of China in the biopharmaceutical industry in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Universities and research institutes are more inclined to cooperate with enterprises for invention patents and with other universities for fund project research.It is suggested that the Yangtze River Delta region should adopt the deep integration mode of industry-university-research, relevant leading scientific research institutions should establish open innovation platforms, and pharmaceutical universities should cultivate innovative talents with the advantages of their disciplines, and adopt "Revealing the List and Taking Command" or other ways to tackle key core technologies.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the efficacy and safety of intravesical electrical stimulation (IVES) combined with a training for bladder motor and sensory dysfunction in the treatment of neurogenic underactive bladder(UAB).Methods:A prospective, single-blind, randomized controlled trial was used to study neurogenic UAB patients admitted to the China Rehabilitation Research Center from October 2019 to May 2021. Inclusive criteria included age≥18 years old, the patients who have been diagnosed as neurogenic UAB and the course of disease being more than 3 months; patients who have been undergone intermittent catheterization to empty the bladder or patients indicated for intermittent catheterization (post-void residual urine accounts for more than 40% of the functional bladder volume), voluntary signing of written informed consent, able to communicate well with researchers and comply with the requirements of the whole trial, and the patient not undergoing any treatment other than oral medication before IVES. Exclusion criteria included patients with low bladder compliance by urodynamic examination(<20 ml/cmH 2O), patients with mechanical outflow obstruction, patients with complete spinal cord injury, the patients with symptomatic urinary tract infection which was not cured, patients with hydronephrosis or bladder-ureteral reflux, patients with renal insufficiency(serum creatinine greater than 1.5 times of the upper limit of normality), patients with malignant tumors of the bladder or prostate, overactive bladder, Alzheimer's disease, brain atrophy, acute cerebrovascular disease, or cognitive impairment, patients who were pregnant or planning to be pregnant, bladder mucosa injury, patients with pacemakers or defibrillators, those who participated in other clinical trials 3 months before the study, and other circumstances that the researcher consider it is not suitable to be involved in this study. The patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group according to the ratio of 1∶1. The experimental group used conventional transurethral insertion of bipolar catheter electrodes for IVES combined with bladder motor and sensory dysfunction training, and the control group underwent IVES with open circuit combined with bladder motor and sensory dysfunction training. The stimulation parameters of the two groups were two-way square wave, 1-30 mA intensity, 10-20 Hz frequency, 200 μs pulse width, once a day, lasting 30 minutes for each treatment, and for continuous 20 working days. The post-void residual urine, voiding efficiency, 24-hour intermittent catheterization times, first sensation of bladder filling volume and American Urological Association Symptom Index Quality of Life(AUA-SI-QOL) scores were recorded before and at the end of treatment. The adverse events during the treatment were recorded. Results:Fifty-two patients were selected and 50 patients completed the trial, including 26 patients in the experimental group and 24 patients in the control group. Before treatment, there were no significant differences in gender[16(male)/10(female)vs.13(male)/11(female), P=0.598], age [(40.7±13.5)years vs.(38.5±12.3)years, P=0.543], course of disease[0.71(0.42, 1.63)years vs.0.79(0.42, 1.50)years, P=0.695], post-void residual urine[300(193, 400)ml vs.325(178, 380)ml, P=0.724], voiding efficiency[17%(0, 47.8)% vs.21%(0, 38.0)%, P=0.960], 24-hour intermittent catheterization times[4(2, 4)vs.3(2, 4), P=0.692], first sensation volume during bladder filling[(325.8±74.3)ml vs.(307.5±75.0)ml, P=0.391] or AUA-SI-QOL scores[5(4, 5)vs.4(4, 5), P=0.313] between the experimental group and the control group. At the end of treatment, the post-void residual urine, first sensation volume during bladder filling and AUA-SI-QOL scores of the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group [250(40, 350)ml vs.300(200, 390)ml, P=0.034; (276.5±68.8)ml vs.(315.4±67.3)ml, P=0.049; 4(2, 4)vs.4(3, 5), P=0.024], and the voiding efficiency was significantly higher than that of the control group[33%(14.5, 84.5)% vs.18%(0, 35.8)%, P=0.041], but there was no significant difference in the number of 24-hour intermittent catheterization between the two groups [3(1, 4)vs.3(2, 4), P=0.174]. In the control group, there were no significant changes in post-void residual urine, voiding efficiency, 24-hour intermittent catheterization times, first sensation volume during bladder filling and AUA-SI-QOL scores before and after treatment [325(178, 380)ml vs.300(200, 390)ml, P=0.832; 21%(0, 38.0)% vs.18%(0, 35.8)%, P=0.943; 3(2, 4)vs.3(2, 4), P=0.239; (307.5±75.0)ml vs.(315.4±67.3)ml, P=0.257; 4(4, 5)vs.4(3, 5), P=0.157]. In the experimental group, there were significant improvements in post-void residual urine, voiding efficiency, 24-hour intermittent catheterization times, first sensation volume during bladder filling and AUA-SI-QOL scores before and after treatment [300(193, 400)ml vs.250(40, 350)ml, P<0.001; 17%(0, 47.8)% vs.33%(14.5, 84.5)%, P<0.001; 4(2, 4)vs.3(1, 4), P=0.011; (325.8±74.3)ml vs.(276.5±68.8)ml, P<0.001; 5(4, 5)vs.4(2, 4), P<0.001]. During the treatment period, 1 case of abdominal discomfort occurred in the experimental group and 1 case of urethral discomfort in the control group. After adjusting the stimulation intensity and catheter position, the discomfort disappeared without other serious adverse events. Conclusions:IVES combined with bladder motor sensory dysfunction training can not only effectively improve the bladder emptying efficiency and bladder sensation in patients with neurogenic UAB, but also be safe and easy to operate.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To explore the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary lesions, and the diagnostic efficiency of CEUS combined with multiple tumor markers in the diagnosis of peripheral lung malignancy.Methods:A total of 76 patients with peripheral lung lesions treated in Chongqing University Three Gorges Hospital from September 2019 to September 2021 were included. According to the pathological results, the 76 patients with 76 peripheral lung lesions were divided into malignant lesions (48 cases) and benign lesions (28 cases). After contrast agent injection, the arrive time (AT), difference of AT between the lesion and lung tissue(tAT) were analyzed quantitatively. The ROC curve was plotted to calculate the area under the curve and the optimum threshold. Serum cyrokeratin fragment antigen 21-1(CYFRA21-1), carcino-embryonic antigen(CEA) and neuron specific enolase(NSE) level were detected and analyzed between the two groups, and the diagnostic efficacies of tAT combined with 3 serum tumor markers and 4 combined markers for peripheral pulmonary malignant lesions were analyzed.Results:AT and tAT of malignant lesions were greater than those of benign lesions, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve (0.759) of tAT in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary malignant lesions was greater than that of AT (0.675), and the best cut-off point was 2.5 seconds (later arrival signified malignancy), the sensitivity of tAT in the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary malignant lesions was 91.7%, and it was higher than AT, which showed more reliable diagnostic value for peripheral pulmonary malignant lesions. When tAT was combined with 3 serum tumor markers in the diagnosis of peri-pulmonary malignant lesions, the area under the combined diagnosis curve was the largest (0.878) and the sensitivity was the highest (97.9%). Conclusions:tAT is of certain value in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant peripheral pulmonary lesions. Combination of tAT with multiple serum tumor markers can improve the diagnostic efficiency of peripheral pulmonary malignant lesions.
ABSTRACT
After participating in the student selection training and on-site refereeing of the clinical examination skills competition for college students in Sichuan-Chongqing region twice in succession, the author combined the on-site performance and competition results of the participating students with pre-match training experience and normal teaching experience. A comprehensive analysis found that the students' proficiency in basic testing skills, psychological quality and humanistic quality have an important impact on the results of the competition. Teachers should not only pay attention to the quality of basic skills training and theoretical knowledge teaching in practical teaching, but also pay attention to the cultivation of students' teamwork ability and good working habits. Therefore, the clinical laboratory skills competition has a strong leading role in promoting the education and teaching reform of medical laboratory technology and improving the quality of professional practice teaching. It is hoped that more medical colleges and universities will pay attention to and participate in it, and further promote the development of practical teaching of medical laboratory technology.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo analyze the effect of working conditions on the occurrence and development of chronic diseases in bus drivers in Hefei. MethodsA total of 380 bus drivers were selected by convenient sampling method. Their basic information， working intensity， working environment， working habits， living habits and physical health were investigated. ResultsThe three most common occupational-related diseases were： 1） anxiety and depression caused by work environment such as noise and traffic jam （70.79%， 269/380）； 2） dry eyes， eye fatigue， blurred vision and so on （65.53%， 249/380）； 3） cervical and lumbar pain （63.16%， 240/380）. Gastrointestinal dysfunction （irritable bowel syndrome related symptoms） occurred in 42.37% （161/380） of the drivers and 45.53% （173/380） had suffered from hemorrhoids or anal fissure. Drivers with long-term suffocation were more likely to suffer from urinary tract infection （χ 2=22.330， P<0.001）. The rate of subjective eye discomfort was higher in the drivers with long working hours （χ 2=11.682， P<0.01）， and the rate of leg swelling was higher in the drivers with frequent driving without rest （χ 2=16.642， P<0.05）. There was a significant difference in the rate of anxiety and depression between the divers with different sleep duration （χ 2=17.379，P<0.001）. Results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the incidence of anxiety and depression was higher in drivers with longer working hours. In comparison with the group of over 6 working hours， the rate increased to 4.080 times in the group of over 8 working hours， 2.583 times in the group of over 10 working hours， and 2.484 times in the group of over 12 working hours， respectively. Occasional and frequent non-stop working drivers were 4.302 and 4.828 times， respectively， more likely to be anxious or depressed. Logistic regression analysis also showed that the incidence of gastrointestinal dysfunction （irritable bowel syndrome related symptoms） in drivers with anxiety and depression was 3.792 times higher than that in drivers without anxiety and depression （OR=3.792， 95% CI 2.384 to 6.029， P<0.001）. ConclusionSome working environment， excessive working intensity， poor living and working habits， and mental problems are closely related to the occurrence and development of chronic diseases in bus drivers.

ABSTRACT
A 66-year-old female patient presented with blisters on the scalp and neck for 1 month. She had a history of type 2 diabetes for 6 years, and started taking the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin at a dose of 5 mg once a day 6 months before the onset of eruption. Skin examination showed scattered mung bean- to peanut-sized blisters on the scalp, and some blisters broke with exudation and crusts. There was a pigeon egg-sized bulla and two mung bean-sized blisters on the left neck, with tense blister walls, clear blister fluids, non-erythematous base, and Nikolsky′s sign was negative. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that the serum levels of anti-BP180 NC16A and anti-BP230 antibodies were 5.81 and 139.76 kU/L respectively. Histopathological examination of the blister on the neck showed subepidermal blister formation, and infiltration with neutrophils and a few eosinophils in the blister. The patient was finally diagnosed with localized anti-BP230-type bullous pemphigoid. This case of anti-BP230-type bullous pemphigoid associated with the dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor linagliptin was firstly reported in China.
