OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for content determination of aflatoxins in eupolyphaga. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column of Phenomenex-C18 with mobile phase of methanol-acetonitrile-water(28∶17∶55,V/V/V)at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,column temperature was 30 ℃,fluorescence detector(FLD)λex was 365 nm,λem was 450 nm;derivative solution was 0.05% iodine solution,derivatized pump flow rate was 0.3 ml/min,derivatized temperature was 70 ℃ and volume injection was 20μl. RESULTS:Aflatoxin G2 and aflatoxin B2 showed good linear relationship at 1.2-12 pg,and aflatoxin G1 and aflatoxin B1 showed a good linear relationship at 4-40 pg(r≥0.999 3);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were≤2.3%;aver-age recovery was 77.4%-94.8%(RSD=3.1%-4.3%,n=6). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate and reproducible, and can be used for the determination of aflatoxins in eupolyphaga.

Objective:To explore the gene microarray of patients with ankylosing spondylitis in GEO database by using various bioinformatics methods, and to explore the possible targets and mechanisms of action.Methods:The GEO database was searched with "ankylosing spondylitis" the keyword, and the expression profile of genes related to AS was selected as the research object. Standard difference analysis, weighted co-expression analysis and gene set enrichment analysis were conducted to construct the disease set. GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were performed on the disease sets. The NCC algorithm identifies the first five key genes. THP-1 cells were implanted into RPMI-1640 culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum to multiply and construct the cell model of AS in vitro. The expression levels of 5 key genes were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot. The experimental measurement data were expressed as mean± standard deviation, and the t test was used in comparison between the two groups. Results:One thousand six hundred and sixty seven disease genes were analyzed, functional annotation was mainly concentrated in 689 molecular components of cytoplasmic ribosomes, ribosomal subunits, ribosomes, cytoplasmic large ribosomal subunits, the structural composition of ribosomal REDOX enzyme activity, 1 002 molecular functions of NADH dehydrogenase activity, NADH dehydrogenase activity, and 5 764 molecular processes of mRNA catabolism and RNA catabolism The physical process involved 1 002 signaling pathways involved in Alzheimer′s disease, Prion disease, Parkinson′s disease, and the first 5 key genes were identified as RPS11, RPL4, RPL37A, RPS23, and RPS9. The experimental results were obtained by t test. The results showed that TNF-α mRNA ( t=5.59, P=0.001) and protein ( t=20.14, P<0.001) were significantly increased, indicating that LPS had induced inflammatory response in THP-1 cells, while RPL37AmRNA ( t=5.87, P=0.001), RPS11 mRNA ( t=3.88, P=0.008), RPS23 mRNA ( t=2.64, P=0.038), RPL37A protein ( t=3.18, P=0.030), RPS11 protein ( t=11.26, P<0.001), RPS23 protein ( t=5.64, P<0.001), increased, while RPS9 mRNA ( t=3.16, P=0.020), RPL4 mRNA ( t=2.54, P=0.044), RPS9 protein ( t=5.85, P<0.001) and RPL4 ( t=2.93, P=0.040) protein expressions decreased. RPL23 stimulated the joint synovial tissue to produce effect-T lymphocytes and release a large number of IL-2 and other inflammatory cytokines. RPS9 acts on the early stages of ribosomogenesis, and knocking down RPS9 reduced overall protein synthesis. RPL4 interacted with TTC22 protein to enhance the binding of WTAP mRNA to RPL4, which was associated with immune diseases. The nucleoprotein OGFOD1 catalyzed the hydroxylation of RPS23 and participated in the inflammatory process. The chromosome conformation confirmed the single nucleotide polymorphism function of IL23R genomic locus in AS disease. Conclusion:Ribosomal protein may be an important target for exploring the mechanism of AS inflammation.

Objective:The investigation and research on the application status of Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient (HVPG) is very important to understand the real situation and future development of this technology in China.Methods:This study comprehensively investigated the basic situation of HVPG technology in China, including hospital distribution, hospital level, annual number of cases, catheters used, average cost, indications and existing problems.Results:According to the survey, there were 70 hospitals in China carrying out HVPG technology in 2021, distributed in 28 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central Government). A total of 4 398 cases of HVPG were performed in all the surveyed hospitals in 2021, of which 2 291 cases (52.1%) were tested by HVPG alone. The average cost of HVPG detection was (5 617.2±2 079.4) yuan. 96.3% of the teams completed HVPG detection with balloon method, and most of the teams used thrombectomy balloon catheter (80.3%).Conclusion:Through this investigation, the status of domestic clinical application of HVPG has been clarified, and it has been confirmed that many domestic medical institutions have mastered this technology, but it still needs to continue to promote and popularize HVPG technology in the future.
