ObjectiveTo establish a model that can quickly identify the aroma components in different parts of Nardostachys jatamansi, so as to provide a quality control basis for the market circulation and clinical use of N. jatamansi. MethodsHeadspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-SPME-GC-MS) combined with Smart aroma database and National Institute of Standards and Technology(NIST) database were used to characterize the aroma components in different parts of N. jatamansi, and the aroma components were quantified according to relative response factor(RRF) and three internal standards, and the markers of aroma differences in different parts of N. jatamansi were identified by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) and cluster thermal analysis based on variable importance in the projection(VIP) value >1 and P<0.01. The odor data of different parts of N. jatamansi were collected by Heracles Ⅱ Neo ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose, and the correlation between compound types of aroma components collected by the ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose and the detection results of HS-SPME-GC-MS was investigated by drawing odor fingerprints and odor response radargrams. Chromatographic peak information with distinguishing ability≥0.700 and peak area≥200 was selected as sensor data, and the rapid identification model of different parts of N. jatamansi was established by principal component analysis(PCA), discriminant factor alysis(DFA), soft independent modeling of class analogies(SIMCA) and statistical quality control analysis(SQCA). ResultsThe HS-SPME-GC-MS results showed that there were 28 common components in the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi, of which 22 could be quantified and 12 significantly different components were screened out. Among these 12 components, the contents of five components(ethyl isovalerate, 2-pentylfuran, benzyl alcohol, nonanal and glacial acetic acid,) in the aboveground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the underground part(P<0.01), the contents of β-ionone, patchouli alcohol, α-caryophyllene, linalyl butyrate, valencene, 1,8-cineole and p-cymene in the underground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the aboveground part(P<0.01). Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose results showed that the PCA discrimination index of the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi was 82, and the contribution rates of the principal component factors were 99.94% and 99.89% when 2 and 3 principal components were extracted, respectively. The contribution rate of the discriminant factor 1 of the DFA model constructed on the basis of PCA was 100%, the validation score of the SIMCA model for discrimination of the two parts was 99, and SQCA could clearly distinguish different parts of N. jatamansi. ConclusionHS-SPME-GC-MS can clarify the differential markers of underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi. The four analytical models provided by Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose(PCA, DFA, SIMCA and SQCA) can realize the rapid identification of different parts of N. jatamansi. Combining the two results, it is speculated that terpenes and carboxylic acids may be the main factors contributing to the difference in aroma between the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi.

Objective To evaluate the reporting quality and influencing factors of patient-reported outcome (PRO) data in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of lung cancer. Methods RCTs of lung cancer with PRO as either primary or secondary endpoints were searched from PubMed, EMbase, Medline, CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP databases between January 1, 2010 and April 20, 2024. Reporting quality of included RCTs were assessed based on the CONSORT-PRO extension. Descriptive statistics and bivariate regression analysis were used to describe the reporting quality and analyze the factors influencing the reporting quality. Results A total of 740 articles were retrieved. After screening, 53 eligible RCTs of lung cancer with 22 780 patients were included. The patients were mainly with non-small cell lung cancer (84.91%), with the median sample size of the included studies was 364.0 (160.5, 599.5) patients. The primary PRO tool used was the EORTC QLQ-C30 (60.38%). There were 52 (98.11%) studies whose PRO measured the domain of "symptom management of cough, dyspnea, fatigue, pain, etc.", and 45 (84.91%) studies measured "health-related quality of life". Multicenter studies accounted for 84.91%, and randomized non-blind trials accounted for 62.26%. PRO was used as the primary endpoint in 33.96% of the studies and as secondary endpoints in 66.04%. The reliability and validity of the PRO tools were explicitly mentioned in 11.32% and 7.55% of the studies, respectively. The average completeness of reporting according to the CONSORT-PRO guidelines was 60.00%, ranging from 25.00% to 93.00%. The main factors affecting the completeness of CONSORT-PRO reporting included sample size and publication year. For every increment in sample size, the completeness of reporting increased by 27.5% (SE=0.00, t=2.040, P=0.046). Additionally, studies published after 2018 had a 67.2% higher completeness of reporting compared to those published in or before 2018 (SE=17.8, t=–3.273, P=0.006). Conclusion The study reveals that the overall reporting quality of PRO in lung cancer RCTs is poor. Particularly, the reporting of PRO measures reliability and validity, PRO assumptions, applicability, and handling of missing data need further improvement. Future research should emphasize comprehensive adherence to the CONSORT-PRO guidelines.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Medicoscab tincture in the treatment of second-degree burns based on network pharmacology and molecular docking technology. Methods The effective components of the tincture were screened by the TCMSP; the effective components of the tincture and burn related targets were screened by GeneCards and OMIM database; Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to draw “Chinese medicine-disease-effective components-targets” network diagram; the related gene ontology (GO) functions and pathways of the tincture were obtained through GO enrichment analysis and Kyoto encyclo-pedia of genes and geomes (KEGG) pathway analysis on the targets through Metascape platform; the pathway bubble diagram was constructed by the pathways enriched in the KEGG database, and finally verified by AutoDockTools for molecular alignment. Results 19 effective components and 179 target intersections of Medicoscab tincture were selected. GO analysis showed the intervention burns process mainly involved the reaction of inorganic substances, the reaction of cells to nitrogen compounds, and the response to xenobiotic stimuli, as well as biological processes such as membrane rafts, vesicular cavities, transcriptional regulatory factor complexes, receptor complexes, and endoplasmic reticulum cavities. KEGG analysis showed the function mainly includes AGE-RAGE signal pathway, PI3K-Akt signal pathway, IL-17 signal pathway, TNF signal pathway, etc. Analysis of cytoscape software showed the core targets were AKT1, TNF, IL-6, GAPDH, TP53, etc. Molecular docking showed that the active components of Medicoscab tincture were docking with multiple targets, among which β- sitosterol had strong binding activity with AKT1, GAPDH and TP53. Conclusion Quercetin, kaempferol, baicalein, β-sitosterol and other core active ingredients in the tincture of making scabs, which could assist in the relief of burns, regulate the signalling pathways such as AGE-RAGE, PI3K-Akt, IL-17, TNF and so on by acting on the targets of AKT1, GAPDH, TP53, IL-6 and so on. This study laid a theoretical foundation for clarifying the mechanism of action of tincture of scab making for the treatment of burn-like diseases.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system, seriously threatening the health and development of human beings. AD pathogenesis is related to amyloid β-protein accumulation, microtubule-associated protein Tau accumulation and hyperphosphorylation in the brain. C-abl kinase can affect signal pathways related to Aβ and Tau proteins, promote neuroinflammatory response and respond to oxidative stress signals; and its overexpression can lead to neuronal damage, resulting in clinical manifestations such as cognitive and memory decline. This paper reviews the relationship between c-abl kinase and AD pathogenesis, and feasibility and limitations of c-abl kinase inhibitors in AD, in order to provide new ideas for AD treatment.

Objective:To explore the effect of group education intervention strategy based on harmonious nursing theory on understanding and application of pelvic floor knowledge and exercise skills in first gestation women, so as to promote the early recovery of pelvic floor function in postpartum women.Methods:This study was a quasi-experimental study. A total of 80 first gestation women in the pregnant women′s school of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were selected as the research objects, 40 women from April to May 2023 were involved in the control group and 40 women from June to July 2023 were involved in the intervention group. The control group was given routine health education, while the intervention group was given group educational nursing intervention based on harmonious nursing theory. The Primary Prevention of Female Pelvic Floor Dysfunction-self-care Ability Scale was used to evaluate and compare the primary prevention self-care ability of pelvic floor dysfunction among pregnancy 1-4 weeks between the two groups before and after pregnancy intervention. Pelvic floor muscle strength was measured and pelvic floor function exercise compliance was evaluated during outpatient follow-up at 42-49 days postpartum (hereinafter referred to as postpartum 42 days) to evaluate and compare the rehabilitation effect of pelvic floor skills exercise between the two groups at 42 days postpartum.Results:Finally, the control group was (29.97 ± 3.68) years old involved 38 cases, and the intervention group was (29.79 ± 3.66) years old involved 38 cases. There was no significant difference in self-care ability score of primary prevention of pelvic floor dysfunction between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05). After pregnancy intervention, the scores of self-care knowledge, self-care responsibility, self-care skills, self-regulation and total score of the intervention group were (58.13 ± 6.46), (11.73 ± 1.18), (10.16 ± 0.86), (29.21 ± 2.74) and (109.21 ± 8.92) points, respectively, which were higher than the control group (47.76 ± 4.25), (11.05 ± 1.09), (8.82 ± 1.78), (27.34 ± 2.18), (94.97 ± 6.46) points, and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( t values were - 8.26 - - 2.63, all P<0.05). In the intervention group, the maximum value of the fast muscle stage and the mean value of the slow muscle stage of the comparison of pelvic floor muscle strength between the two groups 42 days after delivery were 48.25(44.75, 53.45)μV and 31.00 (27.33, 34.23) μV, respectively, which were higher than the control group 36.80 (32.25, 44.28) μV and 22.40 (19.28, 25.88) μV, the differences between the two groups were statistically significant ( Z = - 4.98, - 5.37, both P<0.01). There was no significant difference in the average value of the pre-resting stage and the average value of the post-resting stage between the two groups ( P>0.05). Comparison of pelvic floor functional exercise compliance between the two groups showed that in the intervention group, the proportion of good compliance was 73.7% (28/38), and the proportion of general compliance was 26.3% (10/38), while in the control group, the proportion of general compliance was 86.8% (33/38) and the proportion of good compliance was 7.9% (3/38). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 = 34.46, P<0.01). Conclusions:Application of the theory of harmonious nursing group educational nursing intervention was carried out on the first gestation women, can effectively improve the first gestation women during pregnancy pelvic floor functional exercise primary prevention self-care ability level, strengthen puerperal women pelvic floor muscle, improve the puerperal pelvic floor functional exercise adherence, coordination and optimization of the first gestation women early for pelvic floor functional rehabilitation nursing process.
