Objective: To establish the quality assessment of Cordyceps and its cultured Cmycelia by TLC fingerprint, and to compare the content of the nucleotides between them. Methods: Adenosine, Uridine and Guannosine were detemined by TLC-Scanning samples were perfomed by fluorescence quenching analyis. Results: The contents of adenosiue, uridine, and guanosine from cordyceps mycelia were more than that of cordyceps from wildlife. Conclusion: This method is convenient and rapid, and it can effectively evaluate nucleotides in nature Cordyceps and culture Cordyceps.

BACKGROUND:
In recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a hot spot in cancer because of their remarkable survival benefits on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, the immune-related adverse events (ir-AEs) induced by ICIs have been frequently reported due to its specificity and severity. This article is to summarize and evaluate ir-AEs induced by ICIs. Hopefully it can provide guidance for advanced NSCLC patients treatment options, early recognition and management of ir-AEs.
METHODS:
Randomized controlled trials (RCT) which involved ICIs in the treatment of advanced NSCLC were retrieved in the Cochrane Libraby, PubMed, EMBASE and other databases. The primary outcome includes the incidence, grade and organ specificity of ir-AEs. Relative risk (RR) was used as the effect size, which was expressed as 95% confidence interval (CI). The Stata 15.0 and RevMan 5.3 software are used to conduct the meta analysis.
RESULTS:
A total of 17 RCTs were included. The ir-AEs were generally more than those in the traditional chemotherapy group. The risk and severity of ir-AEs induced by ICIs combined group were generally higher than that of ICI monotherapy, while the incidence of severe ir-AEs induced by ICIs combination therapy was similar to that of anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-asscociated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) group.
CONCLUSIONS
ICIs have different toxicity profile compared with chemotherapy, and their immune-related toxicity is stronger than that of traditional chemotherapy. ICIs induced ir-AEs is organ-specific, and different ICI has specific immune-related toxicity profiles. As ICIs represent a new and distinct class of treatment for NSCLC, this article has systematically illustrated the efficacy and ir-AEs induced by ICIs, hopefully it can be useful for clinicians and patients to get a further understanding of ICIs, and facilitate early prediction, comprehensive diagnosis, and prompt management of ir-AEs by providing status reference and management suggestions, so that ICI can bring more benefit for advanced NSCLC patients.

It is unknown whether the famous sex-related difference in emotion processing is accounted for by biological sex, gender role, or their interaction. To clarify the issue, in Study 1 we recorded event-related potentials in response to negative and positive images of diverse intensities when 47 masculine (26 males) and 47 feminine (22 males) subjects performed a non-emotional task. The occipital P1 and N1 amplitudes were larger in women than in men, while feminine subjects showed larger N1 amplitudes than masculine subjects, regardless of sex. Moreover, feminine subjects showed enhanced frontocentral N2 (210–270 ms) amplitudes for highly and mildly negative than for neutral stimuli, while masculine subjects showed an emotion effect only for highly negative stimuli. The feminine-specific effect for mildly negative stimuli was positively correlated to the feminine score, and this correlation was located to the anterior cingulate and the superior and medial frontal gyri. Furthermore, feminine but not masculine subjects showed enhanced parietal P3 (330–560 ms) amplitudes for highly and mildly positive than for neutral stimuli, an effect positively related to the feminine score and localized to the precuneus, posterior cingulate, and superior temporal gyrus. Machine learning analyses verified that single-trial N2 and P3 amplitudes of feminine subjects reliably discriminated the intensity of negative and positive stimuli, respectively. For ecological considerations, in Study 2 we used an observational approach (n = 300) and confirmed that feminine gender role, rather than biological sex, predicted individual differences in daily experience of emotion-related psychopathological symptoms. These findings provide solid evidence for the critical impact of gender role rather than sex on emotional susceptibility.
