Objective To study whether sulphur fumigation can cause changes to the content of imperatorin in Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi).Methods The fresh samples of Angelicae Dahuricae Radix were collected from some cultivation bases. Half of each batch root was fumigated with sulfur according to the conventional method, and another half was cut into slices and dried naturally (i.e. without sulfur fumigation). The content of imperatorin was determined by HPLC on C18 column (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5μm) with a gradient mobile phase of acetonitrile-water solution system at the follow rate of 1.0 mL/min, 35℃ of the column temperature, and the max plot in 210-800 nm of the detective wavelength.ResultsTotally 29 batches of fresh roots ofAngelica dahurica were collected. The average contents of imperatorin were 0.202% in the Angelicae Dahuricae Radix with sulfur fumigation and 0.120% in the Angelicae Dahuricae Radix without sulfur fumigation. Compared with the corresponding samples without sulfur fumigation, the content of imperatorin in every Angelicae Dahuricae Radix with sulfur fumigation decreased by 6.77%-77.56% with an average decrease of 39.86%.Conclusion The content of imperatorin decreased significantly in every batch of Angelicae Dahuricae Radix with sulphur fumigation. It shows that the sulphur fumigation method was not suitable for producing and processing Angelicae Dahuricae Radix from fresh roots ofA. dahurica.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine on postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) with sufentanil in patients with essential hypertension. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with essential hypertension aged 42-63 yr weighing 48-72 kg undergoing hysterectomy were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 20 each): control group ( group C) and different doses of dexrmedetomidine groups ( group D1.2 ). PCIA was performed with sufentanil 1 μg/ml + tropisetron 5 μg/ml in 100 ml of normal saline within 24 h after operation (background infusion at 2 ml/h with a bolus dose of 0.5 ml and a 15 min lockout interval). Dexmein group C. Ramsay score was recorded. The number of attempts, consumption of sufentanil, the number of patients who needed nifedipine or ephedrine and side effects such as vomiting and respiratory depression were recoded within 24 h after operation. The level of sedation was evaluated with Ramsay sedation score at 24 h after operation.Results Compared with group C, the number of attempts, consumption of sufentanil, the number of patients who needed nifedipine and incidences of vomiting and respiratory depression were significantly decreased, while Ramsay score was significantly increased in D1 and D2 groups, and the number of patients who needed ephedrine was significanlly increased in group D2 ( P < 0.05). The number of attempts and consumption of sufentanil were significantly decreased, and Ramsay score and the number of patients who needed ephedrine were significantly increased in group D2 compared with group D1 ( P < 0.05). Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can not only reduce the consumption of sufentanil for postoperative PCIA, but also prevent postoperative hypertension from deteriorating in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To evaluate narrow?band imaging(NBI)for early esophageal cancer and pre?cancerous lesions. Methods A total of 170 patients ( 192 lesions) diagnosed as having superficial esophageal carcinoma and precancerous lesions by endoscopy were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical data of endoscopy, narrow?band imaging (NBI) and iodine chromoscopy were analyzed.Results The detection rates of early esophageal cancer were both 100?? 0% in NBI(13/ 13) and iodine staining (13/ 13), with no statisti?cally significant difference (P>0?? 05).The detection rate of high grade intraepithelial neoplasia in NBI and i?odine staining was 94?? 9% (94/ 99) and 100?? 0% (99/ 99) respectively with no statistically significant differ?ence (P>0?? 05); The detection rate of low grade intraepithelial neoplasia in iodine staining was 100?? 0%(80/ 80), significantly higher than that of NBI 78?? 8% (63/ 80) (P<0?? 01).Conclusion NBI and iodine staining endoscopy show better diagnostic value for early esophageal cancer and similar diagnostic value for high grade intraepithelial neoplasia in precancerous lesions. But for the low grade intraepithelial neoplasia, the diagnostic value of iodine staining endoscopy is better than that of NBI.
7.Role of gut microbiota and bile acid pathway in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2020;36(12):2831-2834
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a group of diseases with unclear pathophysiological mechanism and is closely associated with metabolic syndrome. Bacterial components and metabolites produced by gut microbiota can regulate glucose and lipid metabolism, inflammatory response, and oxidative stress, and bile acids regulate immune function, energy metabolism, and material metabolism through various signaling pathways after activating their receptors. Gut microbiota and bile acids interact with each other through enterohepatic circulation, and the changes of their structure and function are involved in the development and progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. This article reviews the effect of the homeostatic dysregulation of gut microbiota and bile acids and their interactions on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Journal of Clinical Hepatology 2021;37(3):590-595
ObjectiveTo investigate the value of albumin-bilirubin (ALBI) score in predicting the prognosis of cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding, and to identify risk stratification and increase clinical applicability. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 273 cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding who were hospitalized in Subei People’s Hospital of Jiangsu from October 2012 to August 2018, and all patients received standard management after admission. Survival status was obtained through electronic medical records and telephone follow-up, and according to the prognosis in August 2020, the patients were divided into death group with 109 patients and survival group with 164 patients. General data were compared between the two groups. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of continuous variables between two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical variables between two groups; univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses were used to identify independent risk factors for prognosis. The Kaplan-Meier curve was used to analyze the survival rates of patients with different ALBI grades, and the log-rank test was used for comparison between groups; the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to compare the ability of ALBI score, Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score, and Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score in predicting short-term (6 weeks) and long-term prognoses. ResultsDuring follow-up, 109 patients (39.9%) died, and the death group had a significantly higher ALBI score than the survival group [-1.49 (-1.82 to -1.11) vs -1.79 (-2.22 to -1.49), Z=5.630, P<0.001]. The univariate analysis showed that age ≥55 years, hemoglobin ≤100 g/L, neutrophil count ≥3.4×109/L, platelet count ≤42×109/L, albumin ≤28 g/L, total bilirubin ≥21 μmol/L, alanine aminotransferase ≥42 U/L or aspartate aminotransferase ≥48 U/L, creatinine ≥94 μmol/L, serum sodium ≤137 mmol/L, international normalized ratio of prothrombin ≥1.5, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy were risk factors for death in cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding, and the patients with ALBI grade 3 had a significantly higher risk of death than those with ALBI grade 1 or 2; prophylactic ligation was a protective factor for survival improvement in cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding (all P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that age ≥55 years (hazard ratio [HR]=2.531, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.624-3.946, P<0.001), creatinine ≥94 μmol/L (HR=1.935, 95% CI: 1.208-3.100, P=0.006), serum sodium ≤137 mmol/L [HR=1.519, 95% CI: 1.015-2.274, P=0.042], ascites (HR=1.641, 95% CI: 1.041-2.585, P=0.033), hepatic encephalopathy (HR=9.972, 95% CI: 3.961-25.106, P<0.001), and ALBI grade 3 (HR=1591, 95% CI: 1.007-2.515, P=0.047) were independent risk factors for death. The patients with ALBI grade 3 had a significantly lower survival rate than those with ALBI grade 1 (χ2=18.691, P<0.001) and ALBI grade 2 (χ2=21.364, P<0.001), and the patients with ALBI grade 1 had a significantly higher survival rate than those with ALBI grade 2 (χ2=6513, P=0.011). The ROC curve analysis showed that ALBI score, CTP score, and MELD score had an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0770, 0.730, and 0.706, respectively, in predicting short-term (6 weeks) prognosis, and they had an AUC of 0.701, 0685, and 0659, respectively, in predicting long-term prognosis. ConclusionALBI score has a good value in predicting short-term (6 weeks) and long-term prognoses of cirrhotic patients with esophagogastric variceal bleeding, and the risk of death increases with ALBI grade. ALBI score can be used as an objective and simple model in clinical practice.
