Objective: To compare the biological characteristics of human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived platelet exosomes (hiPSC-Plt-Exos) with those of conventional apheresis platelet exosomes (Plt-Exos), specifically focusing on their differential abilities to enhance the proliferation and migration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs). Methods: Exosomes were isolated from hiPSC-derived Plt and apheresis Plt concentrate using size exclusion chromatography. These exosomes were then characterized through nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Western blotting. Co-culture experiments into hUC-MSCs were conducted with hiPSC-Plt-Exos and apheresis Plt-Exos, respectively. Their effects on the proliferation and migration of hUC-MSCs were assessed via cell proliferation assays and scratch tests. Results: hiPSC-Plt-Exos and apheresis Plt-Exos exhibited comparable particle sizes, morphological features (such as the characteristic cup-shaped structure), and surface markers (including CD9 and HSP70). Notably, hiPSC-Plt-Exos demonstrated a significantly greater ability to enhance the proliferation and migration of hUC-MSCs compared to apheresis Plt-Exos (P<0.05). These differences provide critical comparative data for their application in various clinical contexts. Conclusion: This study establishes a theoretical foundation for developing precise therapeutic strategies based on hiPSC-Plt-Exos. Furthermore, it underscores the necessity of selecting the appropriate type of exosomes according to the specific disease microenvironment to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.

Objective To investigate the exposure level of radioactive hazard factors and the health management of radiation workers in non-medical radiation institutions (excluding military institutions) in Jinan, China through radioactive hazard factor monitoring, to identify the weak links, and to provide a scientific basis for future work priorities. Methods According to the monitoring plan formulated by Jinan Municipal Health Commission, the task undertaking institutions at all levels in Jinan investigated the types of radioactive hazard factors, detection, training, and health monitoring of 101 non-medical radiation institutions in Jinan. In addition, the workplace radiation levels were detected in 25 institutions of 6 types of monitoring objects, including industrial flaw detection, non-medical accelerator, non-sealed radioactive material workplace, nuclear instrument, baggage detector, and others. Results The investigation objects included institutions engaged in industrial flaw detection, nuclear instrument, luggage detector, non-medical accelerator, non-sealed source workplace, and others. Of these institutions, 91.84% were equipped with radiation protection detectors, 92.86% were equipped with personal dose alarm, 97.73% were equipped with personal protective equipment, 94.36% performed radiation protection training, 92.69% employed radiation workers with certificates, 95.77% performed personal dose detection, 94.83% performed occupational health examination, and 100.00% were qualified for radiation protection detection in workplace. Conclusion There is still a gap between the radiation protection status of non-medical institutions in Jinan and the national regulations and standards, so it is necessary to further strengthen supervision and law enforcement and make greater efforts in training and publicity.

Asari Radix et Rhizoma (AR) is a traditional Chinese medicine with a history of more than 2 000 years of medication and has been included in ancient herbal works in the past dynasties. It is effective in releasing the exterior, dispersing cold, dispelling wind, relieving pain, opening orifices, warming the lung, and resolving fluids, and is still widely used in the clinical treatment of influenza, coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia, asthma, allergic rhinitis, eye pain, headache, toothache, oral ulcer, eczema, etc. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that AR has antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, antibacterial, antiviral, relieving cough and asthma, anti-allergy, and other effects. AR contains a variety of chemical components, in which essential oil is not only associated with functions such as dispelling cold, relieving heat, relieving pain, and resisting inflammation and allergy, but is also toxic. AR also contains lignans, flavonoids, amides, phenanthrenes, alkaloids, and other non-volatile oil components, which play an important role in immunity regulation, anti-inflammation, pain relief, heart strengthening, and blood vessel expansion. The phenanthrene compounds are mainly aristolochic acid analogues, such as aristolochic acid Ⅳa and aristolochic lactam Ⅰ. Aristolochic acid Ⅳa has been proven to have a significant anti-inflammatory effect. The toxicity of AR is related to safrole, aristolochic acids and their analogues, and is also affected by many factors, such as preparation method, dosage, origin, collection time, medicinal part, and decocting time, which should be comprehensively considered in clinical application. Based on the relevant literature in China and abroad, the present study reviewed the correlation of chemical composition and pharmacological and toxicological effects of AR, and the safety of AR, aristolochic acid, safrole, and other components to provide a new perspective for an objective understanding of AR safety, as well as references for rational clinical application, production risk prevention and control, and drug scientific supervision of AR.

ObjectiveBased on ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MSE) technique, we identified qualitatively the metabolites of aristolochic acid(AAs) in rat in order to analyze the metabolic differences between water extract of Aristolochiae fructus(AFE) and Aristolochic acid Ⅰ(AAⅠ). MethodSD rats were selected and administered AFE(110 g·kg-1·d-1) or AAⅠ(5 mg·kg-1·d-1) by oral for 5 days, respectively. Serum, urine and feces were collected after administration. Through sample pretreatment, ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column(2.1 mm×100 mm, 1.7 μm) was used with the mobile phase of 0.01% formic acid methanol(A)-0.01% formic acid water(B, containing 5 mmol·L-1 ammonium acetate) for gradient elution(0-1 min, 10%B; 1-7 min, 10%-75%B; 7-7.2 min, 75%-95%B; 7.2-10.2 min, 95%B; 10.2-10.3 min, 95%-10%B; 10.3-12 min, 10%B) at a flow rate of 0.3 mL·min-1. Positive ion mode of electrospray ionization(ESI+) was performed in the scanning range of m/z 100-1 200. In combination with UNIFI 1.9.4.053 system, the Pathway-MSE was used to qualitatively analyze and identify the AAs prototype and related metabolites in biological samples(serum, urine and feces), and to compare the similarities and differences of metabolites in rats in the subacute toxicity test between AFE group and AAⅠ group. ResultCompared with AAⅠ group, 6, 10, 13 common metabolites and 14, 20, 30 unique metabolites were identified in biological samples(serum, urine and feces) of AFE group, respectively. Moreover, the main AAs components always followed the metabolic processes of demethylation, nitrate reduction and conjugation. Compared with common metabolites in AAⅠ group, prototype components of AAⅠ in serum and most metabolic derivatives of AAⅠ[AAⅠa, aristolochic lactam Ⅰ(ALⅠ)a, 7-OHALⅠ and its conjugated derivatives] in biological samples were significantly increased in AFE group(P<0.05, P<0.01), except that the metabolic amount of ALⅠ in feces of AFE group was remarkably lowed than that of AAⅠ group(P<0.01). In addition, a variety of special ALⅠ efflux derivatives were also identified in the urine and feces of the AFE group. ConclusionAlthough major AAs components in AFE all show similar metabolic rules as AAⅠ components in vivo, the coexistence of multiple AAs components in Aristolochiae Fructus may affect the metabolism of AAⅠ, and achieve the attenuating effect by increasing the metabolic effection of AAⅠ and ALⅠ.

【Objective】 To analyze the risk factors for intraoperative massive red blood cell (RBC) transfusion in patients with Stanford type A aortic dissection (TAAD), in order to develop a risk-prediction model and validate its predictive effect. 【Methods】 The clinical data of 233 patients with TAAD admitted to our hospital from July 2018 to June 2021 (modeling set) were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into routine transfusion group (n=128, RBC≤8 U) and massive transfusion group (n=105, RBC>8 U). Risk factors for intraoperative massive RBC transfusion in TAAD patients were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression and a risk prediction model was developed. Calibration curve and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to assess the accuracy and discrimination of the model. In addition, 61 TAAD patients admitted to our hospital from July 2021 to May 2022 (validation set) were used for external validation. 【Results】 The rate of intraoperative massive RBC transfusion in 233 TAAD patients was 45.06% (95% CI: 38.59%-51.69%). Logistic analysis showed that women, age >50 years, preoperative Hb≤131.50 g/L, intraoperative bleeding >720 mL, and CPB time >155 min were independent risk factors for massive intraoperative RBC transfusion (P<0.05). The intraoperative risk prediction model formula for massive RBC infusion was: -4.427+ 0.925×gender+ 1.461×age+ 2.081×preoperative Hb+ 1.573×bleeding volume+ 2.823×CPB time. The area under the ROC curve of the modeling set and validation set were 0.904 (95% CI: 0.865-0.943) vs 0.868 (95%CI: 0.779-0.958), and the slopes of the calibration curves all converged to 1, indicating that the model predicted the risk of intraoperative massive RBC infusion in TAAD patients in good consistency with the actual risk of massive infusion. The decision curve shows that the model exhibits a positive net benefit with a threshold probability of 0.15-0.67 and has a high clinical application value. 【Conclusion】 The prediction model constructed based on the risk factors of intraoperative massive RBC infusion in TAAD patients can effectively predict the risk of intraoperative massive RBC infusion with high clinical predictive efficacy.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Chaichuan Tongren Mixture supplemented with hysteroscopic recanalization in the treatment of tubal obstructive infertility of liver depression and qi stagnation type.Methods:A total of 60 patients with tubal obstructive infertility of liver depression and qi stagnation type who met the inclusion criteria were selected, between August 2018 and June 2020, and they were divided into the observation group with 31 cases and the control group with 29 cases, according to the random number table method. The control group was treated with hysteroscopic recanalization, while the observation group was given Chaichuan Tongren Mixture on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 4 months and followed up for 12 months. TCM syndromes were scored before and after treatment, and prostaglandin E 2 (PGE 2) was detected by fully automatic biochemical analyzer and levels of TNF-α, CRP and IL-6 were measured by ELISA. The tubal patency of patients after treatment was observed, the pregnancy status was recorded after the end of follow-up and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results:The total effective rate was 96.77% in the observation group and that in the control group was 75.86% ( χ2=4.01, P<0.01). The scores of breast distending pain, irregular menstruation, dark purple menstrual flow and lumbosacral pain in the observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those in the control group ( t values were 17.69, 21.67, 20.89, 14.67, 18.20, respectively, all Ps<0.001). After treatment, the levels of serum PGE 2, TNF-α, CRP, and IL-6 were significantly lower in the observation group than those in the control group [(65.31±6.73) ng/L vs. (87.10±8.85) ng/L, t=10.78; (6.90±0.71) ng/L vs. (11.35±1.23) ng/L, t=17.30; (2.47±0.25) mg/L vs. (5.10±0.52) mg/L, t=25.23; (12.38±1.26) ng/L vs. (30.16±3.15) ng/L, t=29.05] ( P<0.01). After treatment, there was statistical significance in the total effective rate of tubal patency of 96.8% (30/31) in the observation group compared to 79.3% (23/29) in the control group ( χ2=4.43, P<0.01). At the end of follow-up, the pregnancy rate was 71.0% (22/31) in the observation group and 44.8% (13/29) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.21, P<0.01). Conclusion:The Chaichuan Tongren Mixture supplemented with hysteroscopic recanalization can reduce the levels of inflammatory mediators and increase the pregnancy rate of patients with tubal obstructive infertility of liver depression and qi stagnation type.

Objective:To summarize the experience of surgical treatment of primary liver cancer.Methods:The clinical data of 10 966 surgically managed cases with primary liver cancer, from January 1986 to December 2019 at Hepatobiliary Center, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, were retrospectively analyzed. The life table method was used to calculate the survival rate and postoperative recurrence rate. Log‐rank test was used to compare the survival process of different groups, and the Cox regression model was used for multivariate analysis. In addition, 2 884 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with more detailed follow‐up data from 2009 to 2019 were selected for survival analysis. Among 2 549 patients treated with hepatectomy, there were 2 107 males and 442 females, with an age of (56.6±11.1) years (range: 20 to 86 years). Among 335 patients treated with liver transplantation, there were 292 males and 43 females, with an age of (51.0±9.7) years (range: 21 to 73 years). The outcomes of hepatectomy versus liver transplantation, anatomic versus non-anatomic hepatectomy were compared, respectively.Results:Of the 10 966 patients with primary liver cancer, 10 331 patients underwent hepatectomy and 635 patients underwent liver transplantation. Patients with liver resection were categorized into three groups: 1986-1995(712 cases), 1996-2008(3 988 cases), 2009?2019(5 631 cases). The 5‐year overall survival rate was 32.9% in the first group(1986-1995). The 5‐year overall survival rate of resected primary liver cancer was 51.7% in the third group(2009‐2019), among which the 5‐year overal survival rates of hepatocellular carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and mixed liver cancer were 57.4%, 26.6% and 50.6%, respectively. Further analysis was performed on 2 549 HCC patients with primary hepatectomy. The 1‐, 3‐, 5‐, and 10‐year overall survival rates were 88.1%, 71.9%, 60.0%, and 41.0%, respectively, and the perioperative mortality rate was 1.0%. Two hundred and forty‐seven HCC patients underwent primary liver transplantation, with 1‐, 3‐, 5‐, and 10‐year overall survival rates of 84.0%, 64.8%, 61.9%, and 57.6%, respectively. Eighty‐eight HCC patients underwent salvage liver transplantation, with the 1‐, 3‐, 5‐, and 10‐year overall survival rates of 86.8%, 65.2%, 52.5%, and 52.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference in survival rates between the two groups with liver transplantation ( P>0.05). Comparing the overall survival rates and recurrence rates of primary hepatectomy (2 549 cases) with primary liver transplantation (247 cases), the 1‐, 3‐, 5‐, and 10‐year overall survival rates in patients within Milan criteria treated with hepatectomy and transplantation were 96.3%, 87.1%, 76.9%, 54.7%, and 95.4%, 79.4%, 77.4%, 71.7%, respectively ( P=0.754). The 1‐, 3‐, 5‐year recurrence rates were 16.3%, 35.9%, 47.6% and 8.1%, 11.7%, 13.9%, respectively( P<0.01). The 1‐, 3‐, 5‐, 10‐year overall survival rates in patients with no large vessels invasion beyond the Milan criteria treated with liver resection and transplantation were 87.2%, 65.9%, 53.0%, 33.0% and 87.6%, 71.8%, 71.8%, 69.3%, respectively( P=0.003); the 1‐, 3‐, 5‐year recurrence rate were 39.2%, 57.8%, 69.7% and 29.7%, 36.7%, 36.7%, respectively ( P<0.01). The 1‐, 3‐, 5‐, and 10‐year overall survival rates in patients with large vessels invasion treated with liver resection and transplantation were 62.1%, 36.1%, 22.2%, 15.0% and 62.9%, 31.8%,19.9%, 0, respectively ( P=0.387); the 1‐, 3‐, 5‐year recurrence rates were 61.5%, 74.7%, 80.8% and 59.7%, 82.9%, 87.2%, respectively( P=0.909). Independent prognostic factors for both overall survival and recurrence‐free survival rates of HCC patients treated with liver resection included gender, neoadjuvant therapy, symptoms, AST, intraoperative or postoperative blood transfusion, tumor number, tumor size, cirrhosis, macrovascular invasion, microvascular invasion, and pathological differentiation. Propensity score matching analysis of 443 pairs further showed that there was no significant difference in overall survival rate between anatomical liver resection and non‐anatomical liver resection( P=0.895), but the recurrence rate of non‐anatomical liver resection was higher than that of anatomical liver resection( P=0.035). Conclusions:In the past decade, the overall survival rate of HCC undergoing surgical treatment is significantly higher than before. For HCC patients with good liver function reservation, surgical resection can be performed first, and salvage liver transplantation can be performed after recurrence. The effect of salvage liver transplantation is comparable to that of primary liver transplantation. As for the choice of liver resection approaches, non‐anatomical resection can reserve more liver tissue and can be selected as long as the negative margin is guaranteed.
