RESUMO
To promote the development of extracellular vesicles of herbal medicine especially the establishment of standardization, led by the National Expert Committee on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles, research experts in the field of herbal medicine and extracellular vesicles were invited nationwide with the support of the Expert Committee on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles, Professional Committee on Extracellular Vesicle Research and Application, Chinese Society of Research Hospitals and the Guangdong Engineering Research Center of Chinese Herbal Vesicles. Based on the collation of relevant literature, we have adopted the Delphi method, the consensus meeting method combined with the nominal group method to form a discussion draft of "Consensus statement on research and application of Chinese herbal medicine derived extracellular vesicles-like particles (2023)". The first draft was discussed in online and offline meetings on October 12, 14, November 2, 2022 and April and May 2023 on the current status of research, nomenclature, isolation methods, quality standards and research applications of extracellular vesicles of Chinese herbal medicines, and 13 consensus opinions were finally formed. At the Third Academic Conference on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles, held on May 26, 2023, Kewei Zhao, convenor of the consensus, presented and read the consensus to the experts of the Expert Committee on Research and Application of Chinese Herbal Vesicles. The consensus highlights the characteristics and advantages of Chinese medicine, inherits the essence, and keeps the righteousness and innovation, aiming to provide a reference for colleagues engaged in research and application of Chinese herbal vesicles at home and abroad, decode the mystery behind Chinese herbal vesicles together, establish a safe, effective and controllable accurate Chinese herbal vesicle prevention and treatment system, and build a bridge for Chinese medicine to the world.
RESUMO
The active copper-containing carbon nanodots were prepared by hydrothermal method, and then characterized by fluorescence spectroscopy and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy.Subsequently, a highly sensitive and selective electrochemical biosensor was fabricated on the basis of this synthesized carbon nanodots with electro-deposition technique.The electrode behavior was investigated by cyclic voltammetry, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, and differential pulse voltammetry.Furthermore, the catalysis mechanism was studied.The experimental results indicated that the biosensor exhibited a strong electrocatalytic activity toward the oxidation of uric acid (UA).What′s more, the interference from ascorbic acid and dopamine was eliminated effectively.Under the optimum conditions, there were linear relationships between the anodic peak current and the concentration of UA (1.00-300.0 μmol/L), and the limit detection was 0.30 μmol/L (S/N=3).The prepared biosensor had advantages such as easy fabrication, strong anti-interference ability, high sensitivity, and wide detection range, and could be used for real sample detection.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the significance of serum procalcitonin(PCT)levels in children with respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)pneumonia and sepsis.Methods 43 cases of children with RSV pneumonia were divided into two groups,including 28 cases of non -sepsis and 15 cases of sepsis.30 cases of healthy children were choosed as a control group in the same period.The serum PCT levels of three groups were compared.The 29 cases of RSV pneumonia with other organ damage except lung were divided into non -severe group and severe group.The differences of serum PCT levels between the two groups were compared.Results The non -sepsis group and sepsis group serum PCT levels were (0.882 ±0.184)μg/L and (1.001 ±0.268)μg/L respectively,which were higher than the control group[(0.365 ±0.085)μg/L,(t =2.607,2.854,all P 0.05);The serum PCT level of the severe group was (1.181 ±0.281)μg/L,which was higher than the non -severe group[(0.448 ±0.140)μg/L],the differ-ence was statistically significant(t =2.473,P <0.05).Conclusion The serum PCT of RSV pneumonia children was increased,the increased PCT can be an observed indicators of severe infection and multiple organ dysfunction.
RESUMO
Objective To investigate the risk factors of severe hand,foot and mouth disease (HFMD).Methods 175 severe cases of HFMD and 183 mild cases of HFMD in the same period were randomly selected.Single factor analysis was first performed between severe and mild cases on age,gender,residence,symptoms,signs and laboratory examinations,etc,to screen out the related risk factors which P value < 0.05.Then,binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine risk factors most related to severe HFMD.Finally,receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis was performed on severe HFMD related risk factors.Results Single factor analysis showed that there were obvious differences between children with mild HFMD and those with severe HFMD in the factors like difficulty in breathing,walking instability,vomiting,limb shaking,disturbance of consciousness,convulsions,cold sweat and weakness,thermal process,the degree of fever,pulmonary rales,heart rate,serum EV71 antibody,circulatory failure,leukocyte count,platelet count,neutrophil ratio,CRP,blood glucose,etc (x2 =15.236,19.819,33.823,52.670,12.984,10.180,29.318,52.932,34.544,14.615,46.633,31.407 and 5.303,t =3.184,3.144,2.256,2.244 and 2.828,,all P <0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the thermal process,startle tremor or limb jitter,serum EV71 antibody,vomiting,fever,neutrophil ratio were the related risk factors of severe HFMD (B value =2.605,2.129,1.409,1.185,0.841 and 0.103,all P < 0.05).ROC analysis showed that the areas under the curve of the predicted probability and thermal process were larger than any other risk factors [(95% CI (0.888 ~ 0.961) and (0.818 ~ 0.920)],and thus had better diagnostic values.Conclusion Children under 3 years old were the high risk population of HFMD.Such clinical symptoms as persistent high fever,vomiting,startle tremor orlimb jitter,EV71 antibody in serum and increasing neutrophil ratio were risk factors for severe HFMD.The predicted probability had more diagnostic value than any other risk factors.
