The mechanism of biological actions of quercetin was studied by using metabolomic method and biomolecular network. HPLC-MS was used to analyze the serum metabolome in rats of blank group and quercetin administration group rats, and MS data were processed by MATLAB software. With multivariate statistical analysis of serum metabolite profiles, a clear separation among blank group and quercetin administration group was achieved, potential biomarkers were selected according to the parameters of variable importance in the projection (VIP) and identified according to MS information and database retrieval. Four compounds, related enzymes, action targets and metabolic pathways had been confirmed, namely retinoic acid and RARbeta, arachidonate and COX-2, 3, 5-diodotyrosine and TPO, uridine diphosphate glucose and PDEs. The mechanism of quercetin enhancing ability of retinoic acid on the induction of RARbeta, activating TPO, using as COX-2 and PDEs inhibitor was approved by biomolecular network and related literatures. In this study, a mechanism of multiple biological actions of quercetin was evaluated at the level of the biomolecular network, metabolomics and biomolecular network can be used to investigate the biological effects mechanism of quercetin, which provided a new method to further revealing mechanism of drug action.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of anatomic resection (AR) and nonanatomic resection (NAR) on the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients of China Liver Cancer Staging (CNLC) Ⅰa.Methods:PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library databases were searched for articles on AR and NAR of CNLC Ⅰa stage HCC from January 2000 to March 2021. A meta-analysis was performed on patient characteristics, tumor characteristics, surgical procedures, postoperative pathological characteristics and long-term prognosis.Results:Of 9 case-control studies were included in this study, there were 2761 patients, with 1727 cases in the AR group and 1034 cases in the NAR group. When compared with the NAR group, the AR group had lower proportion of liver cirrhosis, lower ICG R15 value, higher proportion of Child-Pugh A grade, larger tumor diameter, higher proportion of microvascular invasion, longer operation time and higher intraoperative blood loss. The AR group had a better postoperative 5-year disease-free survival rate [ OR=1.54, 95% CI: 1.30-1.82, P<0.001] and a higher postoperative 5-year overall survival rate [ OR=1.27, 95% CI: 1.04-1.55, P=0.018]. Conclusion:AR is significantly better than NAR for preventing long-term recurrence and improving long-term survival in patients with CNLC Ⅰa stage HCC.

【Objective】 To investigate the establishment of multi-center haemovigilance (HV) and the monitoring of adverse reactions to blood donation (ARBD), in order to provide basis for the management of blood donors. 【Methods】 The operation of HV was investigated by questionnaire. The total number of blood donations (including plateletpheresis) and ARBD cases occurred in each blood center from 2014 to 2018 were analyzed. 【Results】 Among the 24 blood centers in this survey, only nine got HV operated. The incidence of ARBD of 19 blood centers that fulfilled the questionnaire was in the range of (0.003~1.151) %. The change trend of number and incidence of ARBD cases were indeterminate. 【Conclusion】 Most blood centers did not got HV established. The incidence of ARBD varied greatly and was indeterminate. The application of HV should be further improved to strengthen ARBD management.
