Objective To inquire into the clinical acceptability of self-developed biochemical test system by comparing the results and bias estimation with the traceable assay system.Methods According to the requests of National Committee for Clinical Laboratory Standards (NCCLS) EP-9A, comparison test and bias estimation for self-developed test system and traceable Roche reference system (HITACHI 7180) were performed by using patient's sera. The self-developed system was set up as axle Y, the traceable Roche assay system as axle X and 1/2 CLIA (%) was used as the acceptable judge standard.Results The relationship of LDL-C between self-developed system and comparison system was inferior, so the results of LDL-C as well as the low values of HDL-C were of low acceptability. The comparabilities of results of ALT, urea, creatinine, TC, ApoA1 and ApoB were acceptable.Conclusion The self-developed test system must compare with traceable assay system, and estimate its clinical acceptability. The regression equation Y=bX+a can be used to correct the bias of test result.

Background: Nasal?type extranodal natural killer/T?cell lymphoma (ENKTCL) originates primarily in the nasal cavity or extra?nasal sites within the upper aerodigestive tract. However, it is unclear whether the primary site can serve as an independent prognostic factor or whether the varying clinical outcomes observed with different primary sites can be attributed merely to their propensities of regional lymph node involvement. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic implications of the primary site and regional lymph node involvement in patients with early?stage nasal?type ENKTCL. Methods: To develop a nomogram, we reviewed the clinical data of 215 consecutively diagnosed patients with early?stage nasal?type ENKTCL who were treated in Sun Yat?sen University Cancer Center with chemotherapy and radiotherapy between 2000 and 2011. The predictive accuracy and discriminative ability of the nomogram were determined using a concordance index (C?index) and calibration curve. Results: The 5?year overall survival (OS) and progression?free survival (PFS) rates of patients with nasal ENKTCL were higher than those of patients with extra?nasal ENKTCL (OS: 68.2% vs. 46.0%, P = 0.030; PFS: 53.4% vs. 26.6%, P = 0.010).The 5?year OS and PFS rates of patients with Ann Arbor stage IE ENKTCL were higher than those of patients with Ann Arbor stage IIE ENKTCL (OS: 66.3% vs. 59.2%, P = 0.003; PFS: 51.4% vs. 40.3%, P = 0.009). Multivariate analysisshowed that age >60 years, ECOG performance status score nasal primary site, and regional lymph node involvement were significantly associated with lower 5?year OS rate;≥2, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, extra?age >60 years, elevated LDH level, extra?nasal primary site, and regional lymph node involvement were significantly associated with lower 5?year PFS rate. The nomogram included the primary site and regional lymph node involve?ment based on multivariate analysis. The calibration curve showed good agreement between the predicted and actual 5?year OS and PFS rates, and the C?indexes of the nomogram for the OS and PFS rates were 0.697 and 0.634, respectively. Conclusions: The primary site and regional lymph node involvement are independent prognostic factors for early?stage ENKTCL treated with chemotherapy followed by definitive radiotherapy.

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most common microvascular complications of diabetes. It is the main cause of end-stage renal disease and a cause of increased mortality of diabetes. Moreover, diabetic nephropathy has a complex pathogenesis, which is difficult to be detected in the early stage. Therefore, it is easy to miss the optimal intervention period in clinical treatment, which seriously endangers the life and health of patients. As an active ingredient of Chinese medicine, polysaccharides have biological activities such as anti-tumor, lowering blood sugar, immune regulation, anti-oxidation and anti-virus. In recent years, many studies have demonstrated that polysaccharides in Chinese medicine can effectively interfere with diabetic nephropathy, with multi-target and multi-channel characteristics and significant effect, showing great potential. Although there are many studies on the mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of diabetic nephropathy, there is a lack of a systematic and detailed review on it. Therefore, based on the animal experiments on the intervention of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in diabetic nephropathy in recent years, we analyzed and summarized the mechanism of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of diabetic nephropathy from five aspects of improving insulin resistance, improving oxidative stress, reducing inflammatory reaction, protecting kidney and improving intestinal flora. In addition, the signaling pathways and indicators involved in the mechanism were summarized, and the intervention effect and polysaccharide structure analysis were compared. The paper was expected to provide a theoretical basis for the basic research, new drug development and clinical application of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of diabetic nephropathy.

OBJECTIVE:To stud y the effects of “green removing ”processing technology of fresh fruit of Schisandra chinensis after harvested on the quality of medicinal material ,and to provide new ideas for the scientific and rational processing of Chinese medicinal material. METHODS :Fifteen fresh fruits of S. chinensis were used as samples ,with 3 samples in each group. The sample were processed preliminarily by 5 methods,such as drying at 50 ℃,drying in the sun ,drying at 50 ℃ after“green removing”processing with microwave ,drying at 50 ℃ after“green removing ”processing with blanching ,drying at 50 ℃ after “green removing ”processing with steaming. HPLC fingerprints of 15 batches of dried S. chinensis products were established and similarity evaluation was conducted according to Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprints (2012 edition). Cluster analysis was used to evaluate the similarity of dried S. chinensis products with different processing methods. At the same time ,HPLC method was adopted to determine the content changes of seven lignans in dried products ,such as schisandrol A , schisandrol B ,schisantherin A ,schisantherin B ,schizandrin A ,schisandrin B and schisandrin C. RESULTS :A total of 7 common peaks were obtained in the fingerprints of 15 batches of dried S. chinensis products. Except that the similarity between the chromatograms of dried samples in the sun and the control fingerprint was relatively low ,the similarities of chromatograms of dried products by other processing methods were greater than 0.900. Cluster analysis showed that 6 samples dried at 50 ℃ after“green removing”processing with microwave and dried at 50 ℃ after“green removing ”processing with blanching were grouped into the first category ;3 samples dried at 50 ℃ after“green removing”processing with steaming were grouped into the second category ;6 samples dried at 50 ℃ and dried in sun were grouped into the third category. The content determination results showed that there was no significant difference in the total content of seven lignans in the samples dried at 50 ℃ and dried in the sun (P>0.05). The total contents of seven lignans in the samples dried at 50 ℃ after“green moving ” processing with microwave ,blanching and steaming were significantly higher than those dried at 50 ℃ and dried in sun (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:The quality of S. chinensis samples dried after “green moving ”processing with microwave and blanching is better than those directly dried in sun and dried in oven.

Background::Exercise, as the cornerstone of pulmonary rehabilitation, is recommended to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The underlying molecular basis and metabolic process were not fully elucidated.Methods::Sprague-Dawley rats were classified into five groups: non-COPD/rest ( n = 8), non-COPD/exercise ( n = 7), COPD/rest ( n = 7), COPD/medium exercise ( n = 10), and COPD/intensive exercise ( n = 10). COPD animals were exposed to cigarette smoke and lipopolysaccharide instillation for 90 days, while the non-COPD control animals were exposed to room air. Non-COPD/exercise and COPD/medium exercise animals were trained on a treadmill at a decline of 5° and a speed of 15 m/min while animals in the COPD/intensive exercise group were trained at a decline of 5° and a speed of 18 m/min. After eight weeks of exercise/rest, we used ultrasonography, immunohistochemistry, transmission electron microscopy, oxidative capacity of mitochondria, airflow-assisted desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging (AFADESI-MSI), and transcriptomics analyses to assess rectal femoris (RF). Results::At the end of 90 days, COPD rats’ weight gain was smaller than control by 59.48 ± 15.33 g ( P = 0.0005). The oxidative muscle fibers proportion was lower ( P < 0.0001). At the end of additional eight weeks of exercise/rest, compared to COPD/rest, COPD/medium exercise group showed advantages in weight gain, femoral artery peak flow velocity (Δ58.22 mm/s, 95% CI: 13.85-102.60 mm/s, P = 0.0104), RF diameters (Δ0.16 mm, 95% CI: 0.04-0.28 mm, P = 0.0093), myofibrils diameter (Δ0.06 μm, 95% CI: 0.02-0.10 μm, P = 0.006), oxidative muscle fiber percentage (Δ4.84%, 95% CI: 0.15-9.53%, P = 0.0434), mitochondria oxidative phosphorylate capacity ( P < 0.0001). Biomolecules spatial distribution in situ and bioinformatic analyses of transcriptomics suggested COPD-related alteration in metabolites and gene expression, which can be impacted by exercise. Conclusion::COPD rat model had multi-level structure and function impairment, which can be mitigated by exercise.

ObjectiveTo find the different metabolites of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus fresh fruits dried in different ways by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) metabonomics technology, and to explore the possible effect of green removing on its metabolic profile. MethodFifteen samples of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus fresh fruits were used, and each 3 samples was divided into one group. The samples were processed by five methods, including drying, drying in the sun, microwave, blanching and steaming. These samples were extracted with 50% methanol and analyzed by 1H-NMR. Combined with multivariate statistical analysis, the differences of the metabolic profile between green removing samples and dried samples, sun-dried samples were compared. ResultA total of 27 chemical components were identified by 1H-NMR and Chenomx database, mainly including amino acids, alkaloids, carbohydrates and organic acids. These metabolites were mainly involved in the energy metabolism of fruit postharvest physiology. The results of multivariate statistical analysis showed that there were significant differences among the 5 groups. The dried and sun-dried samples were used as the controls, 17 differential metabolites (asparagine, citric acid, glucose, sucrose, choline glycerophosphate, trigonelline, alanine, lysine, glycerol, leucine, isoleucine, valine, uridine, threonine, methionine, phenylalanine and fructose) were screened by variable importance in the projection (VIP) value and S-plot. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison between groups, the results showed that compared with dried and sun-dried samples, the contents of sucrose and choline glycerophosphate increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01) in samples treated with green removing, but the contents of valine, leucine, isoleucine, threonine, phenylalanine and methionine decreased significantly (P<0.01), the content of asparagine increased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01) in samples treated by microwave, while the contents of trigonelline and uridine decreased significantly (P<0.01) in samples treated by blanching. ConclusionThe consumption, decomposition and/or transformation of active ingredients may be inhibited by interfering with its energy metabolism after the green removing of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus fresh fruits.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the influential factors on trough concentration (cmin) and area under the drug concentration time curve (AUC) of voriconazole (VRZ) in pediatric patients with thalassemia undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). METHODS A total of 60 pediatric patients with thalassemia undergoing HSCT who used VRZ for prevention or treatment of invasive fungal infection were collected in our hospital from January 2021 to January 2024. The plasma concentration of VRZ was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography and the AUC was calculated. The factors affecting cmin and AUC of VRZ were analyzed using multiple linear regression. RESULTS A total of 120 cases of VRZ cmin in 60 pediatric patients was obtained and 27 cases of VRZ AUC in 26 pediatric patients were obtained. The median concentration of VRZ cmin was 0.31 mg/L; 46 cases had a cmin in 0.5-5 mg/L( 38.33%), 2 cases had a cmin>5 mg/L( 1.67%), and 72 cases had a cmin<0.5 mg/L. The median AUC of VRZ was 11.68 mg·h/L. The patient’s body weight, HSCT postoperative days, lymphocyte count, and combined use of phenytoin sodium, tacrolimus or cyclosporine had significant effects on VRZ cmin (P<0.05). Lymphocyte count and combined use of phenytoin sodium had significant effects on VRZ AUC (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The body weight, HSCT postoperative days, lymphocyte count, and combined use of phenytoin sodium, tacrolimus or cyclosporine are independent factors affecting VRZ cmin. Lymphocyte count and combined use of phenytoin sodium are independent factors affecting VRZ AUC.
