[Distribution Characteristics, Source Analysis and Ecological Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in the Typical Industry Reclaimed Soil].

To further explore the characteristics of heavy metal pollution and the ecological risk of typical industries in reclaimed soil, based on data from 315 different depth profiles of soil samples collected from 49 plots in Jiading District, Shanghai, the geo-accumulation index and potential ecological risk index were used to evaluate the contents and potential ecological risk of seven heavy metals, namely Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, Hg, and As. The APCS-MLR receptor model and PMF positive matrix factorization model were employed to analyze the pollution sources. The results showed that:① except for As, the contents of other heavy metals in the soil of the study area exceeded the Shanghai soil background values to varying degrees. The contents of Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn, Ni, and Hg in the surface soil were 3.54, 2.34, 2.91, 1.20, 3.75, and 4.40 times the background values, respectively. The contents of heavy metals in the soil decreased with the increase in depth, and heavy metals were enriched to a certain extent in the surface soil, indicating that human activities had an impact on the distribution of heavy metals in the soil. ② The APCS-MLR and PMF receptor models identified four main sources of soil heavy metals in the study area. Source 1 (Cu, Zn, and Pb) was a mixture of metal products and automobile manufacturing, source 2 (Ni and Cd) was electroplating enterprises, source 3 (Hg) was mainly from chemical enterprises, and source 4 (As) was natural. The combined use of the two receptor models further improved the accuracy and credibility of source identification. ③ The geo-accumulation index in descending order was Hg(1.54)>Ni(1.32)>Cd(1.21)>Cu(0.96)>Pb(0.64)>Zn(-0.33)>As(-1.02). The potential ecological risk index showed that the comprehensive potential ecological risk index RI value in the study area ranged from 32.50 to 4 910.97, with a mean of 321.40, indicating a strong potential ecological risk. The pollution values of heavy metals Hg, Ni, and Cd in industrial site soil deserve further attention for re-development and utilization purposes.

Improvement of high-quality evaluation criteria of Chinese patent medicines based on whole process control / 中国中药杂志

Chinese patent medicines(CPMs) are unique therapeutic drugs in China. Establishing and improving the evaluation criteria is an important measure to promote the high-quality development of CPMs. Based on the "evaluation criteria of high-grade CPMs with quality as the core index" established by our group in 2018, the "high-quality evaluation criteria for CPMs based on whole process control" was proposed in the present study in 2022. The scope of application and basic principles of the new criteria were clarified. A quality evaluation scoring table was established in the new criteria, including five parts: raw material selection, production process, quality control, efficacy evaluation, and brand building. The technical evaluation indexes involved have increased from 20% in the original criteria to 70% in the new criteria, and efficacy evaluation has been added in the new criteria. The subjective evaluation indicators account for a large proportion in the original criteria, which is prone to bias. The improved criteria overcome this shortcoming. It is expected that the new criteria as a basis can play a better role in the selection of high-quality products of CPMs, guide enterprises and institutions to participate actively in the evaluation and research of high-quality CPMs, and promote the high-quality development of CPMs.

Clinical features and long-term prognosis of primary biliary cholangitis in patients with past hepatitis B virus infection / 中华肝脏病杂志

Objective: To investigate the clinical features and long-term prognosis of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) in patients with past hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Methods: 353 cases with PBC who visited the Liver Disease Center of Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University between January 2000 and January 2018 were retrospectively analyzed and were divided into the past HBV infection group (156 cases) and the no HBV infection group (197 cases). The two groups' baseline clinical features were compared. Ursodeoxycholic acid response rate after one year, GLOBE score, UK-PBC score, and long-term liver transplantation-free survival rate were compared through outpatient and telephone follow-up. Results: PBC with past HBV infection had a significantly reduced female proportion compared to the no HBV infection group (91.9% vs. 79.5%, P = 0.001). However, there were no statistically significant differences in age, biochemical indices, immunological indicators, platelet count, cirrhosis proportion, and others. Ursodeoxycholic acid biochemical response rate was reduced in patients with past HBV infection at the end of one year of treatment, but the difference was not statistically significant (65.8% vs. 78.2%, P = 0.068). In addition, there were no statistically significant differences between the GLOBE score (0.57 vs. 0.59, P = 0.26) and UK-PBC 5-year (2.87% vs. 2.87%, P = 0.38), 10-year (9.29% vs. 8.2%, P = 0.39) and 15-year liver transplantation rates (16.6% vs. 14.73%, P = 0.39). Lastly, the overall 5-year liver transplantation-free survival rate had no statistically significant difference between the two groups of patients (86.4% vs. 87.5%, P = 0.796). Conclusion: Primary biliary cholangitis had no discernible effect in terms of age at onset, biochemical indices, immunological indicators, cirrhosis proportion, ursodeoxycholic acid response rate after one year, GLOBE score, UK-PBC score, or overall liver transplantation-free survival rate in patients with past hepatitis B virus infections.

Liver targeting of compound liposomes mediated by glycyrrhetinic acid derivative receptor and its effect on hepatic stellate cells / 中国中药杂志

The 3-succinate-30-stearyl glycyrrhetinic acid(18-GA-Suc) was inserted into glycyrrhetinic acid(GA)-tanshinone Ⅱ_A(TSN)-salvianolic acid B(Sal B) liposome(GTS-lip) to prepare liver targeting compound liposome(Suc-GTS-lip) mediated by GA receptors. Next, pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of Suc-GTS-lip and GTS-lip were compared by UPLC, and in vivo imaging tracking of Suc-GTS-lip was conducted. The authors investigated the effect of Suc-GTS-lip on the proliferation inhibition of hepatic stellate cells(HSC) and explored their molecular mechanism of improving liver fibrosis. Pharmacokinetic results showed that the AUC_(Sal B) decreased from(636.06±27.73) μg·h·mL~(-1) to(550.39±12.34) μg·h·mL~(-1), and the AUC_(TSN) decreased from(1.08±0.72) μg·h·mL~(-1) to(0.65±0.04) μg·h·mL~(-1), but the AUC_(GA) increased from(43.64±3.10) μg·h·mL~(-1) to(96.21±3.75) μg·h·mL~(-1). The results of tissue distribution showed that the AUC_(Sal B) and C_(max) of Sal B in the liver of the Suc-GTS-lip group were 10.21 and 4.44 times those of the GTS-lip group, respectively. The liver targeting efficiency of Sal B, TSN, and GA in the Suc-GTS-lip group was 40.66%, 3.06%, and 22.08%, respectively. In vivo imaging studies showed that the modified liposomes tended to accumulate in the liver. MTT results showed that Suc-GTS-lip could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HSC, and RT-PCR results showed that the expression of MMP-1 was significantly increased in all groups, but that of TIMP-1 and TIMP-2 was significantly decreased. The mRNA expressions of collagen-I and collagen-Ⅲ were significantly decreased in all groups. The experimental results showed that Suc-GTS-lip had liver targeting, and it could inhibit the proliferation of HSC and induce their apoptosis, which provided the experimental basis for the targeted treatment of liver fibrosis by Suc-GTS-lip.

Application and Analysis of High-quality Evaluation for Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets / 中国实验方剂学杂志

Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets， as a common variety of Chinese patent medicine with "one product with many manufacturers"， have many manufacturers and huge market sales. However， the phenomenon about uneven quality and discrepant price is prominent. Based on this， this study was carried out for the quality evaluation of Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets by applying the high-quality evaluation criteria with the quality as core for Chinese patent medicine， which was based on the full production cycle， from the multi-dimension including raw material selection， production process， quality control， post-marketing research and so on. The evaluation results showed that the quality evaluation scores of Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets from different manufacturers varied greatly （ranging from 35 to 66）， indicating that the quality was significantly different. In the actual production， generally inadequate attention was paid to the quality of raw materials， and the quality of raw materials was insufficient with the score ratio of 43%， especially the poor consistency control of them. The role of good manufacturing practice was obvious， and the scores of production process were generally high with the average score ratio of 62%， and the maximum up to 80%. The technological advancement of the manufacturer was outstanding. The score ratio of quality control was only 31% that the internal quality standard of each manufacture almost stayed at the qualified line， which was equal to the national standard， and the consistency of products was insufficient. The post-marketing research was lacking with the score ratio of 37%. Manufacturers with high brand awareness and market share were upper scores， while the others lagged far behind. The results of this evaluation are in line with the overall prediction， which can provide a reference for the high-quality evaluation of Chinese patent medicine， and supply the scientific data for high-quality and high-price application.

[Distribution Characteristics and Source Apportionment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons in Atmospheric Deposition in Areas Adjacent to a Large Petrochemical Enterprise].

In order to explore the influence of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) emissions by petrochemical enterprises on the surrounding environment, atmospheric deposition samples of the PAHs were collected in the industrial and residential areas adjacent to a petrochemical enterprise from March 2017 to February 2018. Deposition fluxes and the composition of PAHs were studied. The source of PAHs was analyzed by a positive matrix factor (PMF) model. The results showed that the deposition fluxes of Σ15 PAHs ranged from 549 ng·(m2·d)-1 to 18845 ng·(m2·d)-1, with an average of 2712 ng·(m2·d)-1. The flux of Σ15 PAHs in the industrial area was 1.36 times greater than that in the residential area. The deposition fluxes of PAHs in winter and spring were higher than those in summer and autumn. The deposition flux was highest in January in the industrial area and lowest in October in the residential area. Phe, BbF, and Fla were the dominant monomers. There was noticeable difference of monomers between the industrial area and the residential area in summer and autumn. The monomers, such as BbF, BkF, and BgP, in the residential area were higher than those in industrial area, and the proportion of 5, 6 rings was higher, which indicated that traffic contributed more to the residential area; 3 ring PAHs in industrial area had a higher proportion, which pointed out that their main source was petroleum volatilization. Based on the quantitative source analysis, the PAHs in atmospheric deposition were mainly from traffic emissions, petroleum volatilization, and coal combustion. Three sources of PAHs accounted for 45.7%, 18.4%, 35.9%, and 46.3%, 21.4%, and 32.3%, respectively, in the industrial area and the residential area in winter and spring. In summer and autumn, the contribution of traffic sources to the residential area was as high as 65.2%, and the proportion of the petroleum source to the industrial area increased to 35.5%. Due to high-altitude emissions and favorable diffusion conditions, the coal combustion contribution was significantly reduced.

Results: A total of 217 patients were enrolled in this study. The age was (76.7±7.4) years and there were 86 females. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons score was (9.5±5.8). The proportions achieved AKR after TAVR were 0, 30.2% (35/116), 58.6% (41/70) and 75.0% (9/12) respectively in eGFR>90 ml·min-1·1.73m-2 group, 60<eGFR≤90 ml·min-1·1.73m-2 group, 30<eGFR≤60 ml·min-1·1.73m-2 group and eGFR≤30 ml·min-1·1.73m-2 group. A total of 3 patients (1.4%) suffered AKI, including 2 patients in 30<eGFR≤60 ml·min-1·1.73m-2 group and 1 patient in 60<eGFR≤90 ml·min-1·1.73m-2 group. The incidence of AKI in eGFR<60 ml·min-1·1.73m-2 group was 2.4% (2/82). Among the 217 patients, AKR occurred in 85(39.2%) patients, 3(1.4%) experienced AKI and renal function remained unchanged in 129 (59.4%) patients post TAVR. Body mass index (BMI), left ventricular end diastolic dimension (LVEDD) and preoperative eGFR were statistically different between the 3 groups (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI (OR=5.54, 95%CI 1.04-29.58, P=0.045), preoperative LVEDD (OR=1.22, 95%CI 1.09-1.38, P=0.001) and preoperative eGFR (OR=2.23, 95%CI 2.04-2.55, P=0.004) were associated with non-AKR post TAVR. Conclusions: After TAVR, most patients show no change or improvement of renal function. BMI, preoperative LVEDD and eGFR are related to renal function change after TAVR.

Investigation on the current status of silica dust hazard in workplaces in Jiangxi Province / 中国职业医学

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the current status of silica dust hazard in workplaces of Jiangxi Province. METHODS: The level of silica dust in the air of workplaces, occupational health examination of the dust-exposed workers and diagnosis of occupational disease in 1 557 enterprises in Jiangxi Province were investigated and analyzed. RESULTS: The 1 557 enterprises were included in eight industries, and the main types of enterprises were non-coal mining, ceramic products manufacturing and stone processing industry(a total of 85.16%). There were 4 029 jobs/positions that were involved in exposure to silica dust in these workplaces. Among them, the exposure concentration of time weighted average(C_(TWA)) of total dust and respirable dust exceeded 21.52% and 20.55%, respectively. The posts where the total dust and respirable dust that exceed the standard were found in the quartz sand processing industry, non-ferrous metal smelting industry and stone processing industry, that were the top three among the eight industries(all P<0.01). Among the 828 posts with C_(TWA) of respiratory dust exceeding the standard, the C_(TWA) exceeding rate of mild-, moderate-and high-hazardous jobs were 3.87%(156/4 029), 1.66%(67/4 029) and 15.02%(605/4 029), respectively. Among 23 643 dust-exposed workers, the detection rates of occupational contraindications and suspected silicosis were 2.06% and 1.51%, and the prevalence of silicosis was 1.21%. CONCLUSION: Silica dust hazard in workplaces of quartz sand processing industry, non-ferrous metal smelting industry and stone processing industry are serious in Jiangxi Province. The supervision and management of occupational health should be further strengthened to guarantee the occupational health of workers.

[Effects of Manure and Organic Fertilizer Application on Soil Microbial Community Diversity in Paddy Fields].

To investigate the effect of typical manure application on soil microbes in paddy fields, a field experiment on manure application in Chongming Island was carried out. The composition and variety of soil microorganisms in rice paddy fields were analyzed using high-throughput theory (CK), chicken manure (CM), pig manure (PM), and organic fertilizer (OF). The results showed that compared with CK, the application of organic manure increased soil organic matter (SOM), and the application of chicken manure significantly increased the soil ammonia nitrogen (NH4+-N) and total nitrogen (TN) contents (P<0.05). Soil microbial diversity in the PM group was significantly higher than that in the CK group (P<0.05), and the soil microbial community richness in the OF group was significantly higher than that in the CM group (P<0.05). pH, total phosphorus (TP), total nitrogen, and Pb were the important factors affecting the composition of soil microbial communities in paddy fields. The microbial community structure in the CM group was significantly different from those in the other three groups. Compared with CK, the OF group increased the relative abundance of Nitrospira, and the CM group significantly reduced the relative abundance of the denitrifying bacteria Ignavibacteriae (P<0.01) to 40.56%, but significantly increased the relative abundance of nitrifying bacteria Thauera(P<0.05) to 203.00%. The PM group significantly increased the relative abundance of ammoniated bacteria Armatimonadetes (P<0.05) to 57.51% and the anaerobic strain Anaerolinea to 102.00%. The application of chicken manure and pig manure significantly increased the relative abundance of pathogens Pseudomonas and Flavisolibacter (P<0.05), respectively, while the application of organic manure reduced the relative abundance of Flavisolibacter. Overall, the application of manure increased the abundance of bacteria involved in the nitrogen cycle of paddy soils and played a positive role in regulating the nitrogen balance in paddy soils. However, direct application of chicken manure and fresh pig manure increased the abundance of pathogenic bacteria, which had a certain degree of stress on the soil health in the paddy field.

Removal of N, P from seepage and runoff by different vegetated and slope buffer strips.

The migration of nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) from farmland to river not only results in fertilizer inefficiency, but also aggravates water pollution and eutrophication. It is of great significance to construct a reasonable vegetation buffer zone between the river and farmland to protect water quality. By using constructed buffer strips and runoff hydrometric devices, quantitative research was conducted on removal loads of N and P in a field experiment of different vegetated and slope strips. Results showed that removal rates of TN, NH4 +-N, and TP by different vegetated strips were 2-3 times higher than the control group. The removal ratios of seepage accounted for 73.6%, 66.9%, 73.9% of total seepage and runoff in three vegetated strips, respectively. On the 2% gradient strips with Cynodon dactylon, the removal ratios of TN, NH4 +-N, and TP were 36%, 34%, 37%, which were higher than that with 5% gradient, respectively. And removal ratios from the seepage of 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% gradient strips were 71.66%, 68.14%, 64.39%, and 61.93% of the total, respectively. The conclusion can provide the basis of vegetation and slope optimization for the design and construction of a riparian buffer zone, so as to control non-point source pollution effectively.
