The intestinal absorption properties of the main effective components (glycyrrhizic acid, isoliquiritigenin, 6-gingerol, ginsenoside Rb1, atractylode-I) in Lizhong decoction (LZD) extracts were investigated with an in situ single-pass intestinal perfusion model in rats. UPLC-TQ-MS was used to determine the concentration of the five components in the intestinal perfusion. Animal welfare and experimental procedures were in accordance with the regulations of the Animal Ethics Committee of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine. As evaluation indexes for the intestinal absorption characteristics, the absorption rate constant (K_a) and the apparent permeability coefficient (P_eff) of the five main ingredients were analyzed. Results showed that the best absorption sites for glycyrrhizic acid, isoliquiritin and 6-gingerol were the ileum, colon and duodenum, respectively, and the differences between different intestinal segments were statistically significant (P <0.05). There was no notable difference in K_a and P_eff between ginsenoside Rb1 and atractylode-I in the different intestinal segments (P > 0.05), suggesting that they were absorbed throughout. The five components were well-absorbed in the whole intestine (P_eff > 1.0×10^-3 cm·min^-1), indicating that LZD is suitable for preparing sustained, controlled release and enteric-coated preparations.

Objective:To investigate the value of pericoronary adipose tissue histogram parameters based on coronary CT angiography (CTA) images for the differentiation of acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease.Methods:The clinical data and CTA images of 93 patients with coronary CTA examination in Suzhou Kowloon Hospital from 2013 to 2018 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 39 patients with acute coronary syndrome (acute coronary syndrome group) and 54 patients with stable coronary artery disease (stable coronary artery disease group). A region of interest (ROI) was drawn around the stenosis of the coronary arteries, with CT attenuation ranging from-190 to -30 HU to exclude non-adipose tissue. The CT attenuation of ROI excluding non-adipose were measured and histogram analysis was performed. The obtained parameters included the mean value, median value and the 5th, 10th, 45th, 55th, 70th and 95th percentiles. The differences in histogram parameters between the two groups were compared, and then the value of each parameter in differentiating acute coronary syndrome and stable coronary artery disease was evaluated based on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The stepwise regression of multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the useful features and establish the final prediction model. The ROC curve of the final model was calculated and its value was analyzed.Results:The mean, median and the 5th, 10th, 45th, 55th,70th and 95th percentile differences between the acute coronary syndrome group and the stable coronary artery disease group were statistically significant (all P<0.05). The ROC curve for the median and the 95th percentile had the same area under curve (AUC) of 0.73. The sensitivity, specificity and AUC of the diagnostic model established by multiple logistic regression were 82.1%, 89.1% and 0.90 respectively. Conclusion:CT attenuation histogram of pericoronary adipose tissue is of high value in differentiating acute coronary syndrome from stable coronary artery disease.

Effective supervision of the clinical research management department can guarantee and improve the quality of the investigator initiated trials(IIT). The authors analyzed relevant clinical research regulations and literature and summarized the current situation of risk-based IIT project process quality management. On such basis, they determined the risk-based IIT project process quality management method in combination with the previous research of the research group.From 2021 to 2022, this method was used to implement process quality management for 353 IIT projects in Shanghai′s tertiary hospitals. More than 3 000 risk points were identified through centralized supervision, and then on-site supervision was carried out to correct the problems found. As proven by the results, the method could find existing problems in time and define the risk level of the project, and also formulate an individualized risk supervision plan accordingly, so as to effectively ensure the data reliability and scientific results. It is suggested that the clinical research management department implement risk based management for the whole process of IIT projects, increase funding and staffing, and implement hierarchical management for the projects by research types, so as to promote the sustainable development of IITs.

Objective:To assess possible risk factors and their respective levels in the whole process of investigator initiated trial(IIT)projects proposed in the proposal stage, for reference in formulation of risk management plans.Methods:Through literature analysis and research group discussions, the risk factors of IIT projects and risk level assessment criteria were preliminarily identified, and a consultation questionnaire was developed as a result. Delphi method was used to further optimize the risk factors and determine their risk levels. Data obtained from the consulfation were analysied by descriptive.Results:The recovery rates of two rounds of expert consultation were both 100%, and the degree of expert authority was 0.942. The survey finalized 38 risk factors, including extremely high risk, high risk, medium risk, low risk and very low risk factors of 17(44.7%), 15(39.5%), 3(7.9%), 2(5.3%) and 1(2.6%) respectively.Conclusions:This study determined a risk evaluation system of IIT projects in the proposal stage. This system can identify risks of IIT projects at an early stage, facilitating early intervention of problems existing in such projects, and minimize risks to the rights and safety of patients.

The 2 patients were both aged females with medical history of diabetes mellitus. The chief complaints were both hyperpyrexia. Laboratory tests presented markedly elevated white blood cells and C-reactive protein, indicating severe systemic infections. Urine culture confirmed the growth of Escherichia coli. CT scan revealed thickened bladder wall with intraluminal and interstitial collections of gas. After the diagnosis of emphysema cystitis was established, conservative treatments including bladder drainage, strict glycemic control and sensitive antibiotics were administered timely. Both of the 2 patients got fully recovery after standard treatment.

Although compatibility is highly advocated in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), inappropriate com-bination of some herbs may reduce the therapeutic action and even produce toxic effects. Kansui and licorice, one of TCM"Eighteen Incompatible Medicaments", are the most representative cases of improper herbal combination, which may still be applied simultaneously under given conditions. However, the potential mechanism of their compatibility and incompatibility is unclear. In the present study, two different ratios of kansui and licorice, representing their compatibility and incompatibility respectively, were designed to elucidate their interaction by comparative plasma/tissue metabolomics and a heatmap with relative fold change. As a result, glycocholic acid, prostaglandin F2a, dihydroceramide and sphin-ganine were screened out as the principal alternative biomarkers of compatibility group; sphinganine, dihydroceramide, arachidonic acid, leukotriene B4, acetoacetic acid and linoleic acid were those of in-compatibility group. Based on the values of biomarkers in each tissue, the liver was identified as the compatible target organ, while the heart, liver, and kidney were the incompatible target organs. Furthermore, important pathways for compatibility and incompatibility were also constructed. These results help us to better understand and utilize the two herbs, and the study was the first to reveal some innate characters of herbs related to TCM"Eighteen Incompatible Medicaments".

Objective: To study the segment of liver according to the large amount of three-dimensional(3D) reconstructive images of normal human livers and the vascular system, and to recognize the basic functional liver unit based on the anatomic features of the intrahepatic portal veins. Methods: The enhanced CT primitive DICOM files of 1 260 normal human livers from different age groups who treated from October 2013 to February 2017 provided by 16 hospitals were analyzed using the computer-aided surgery system.The 3D liver and liver vascular system were reconstructed, and the digital liver 3D model was established.The vascular morphology, anatomical features, and anatomical distributions of intrahepatic portal veins were statistically analyzed. Results: The digital liver model obtained from the 3D reconstruction of CAS displayed clear intrahepatic portal vein vessels of level four.Perform a digital liver segments study based on the analysis of level four vascular distribution areas.As the less anatomical variation of left hepatic portal vein, the liver was classified into four types of liver segmentation mainly based on right hepatic portal vein.Type A was similar to Couinaud or Cho′s segmentation, containing 8 segments(537 cases, 42.62%). Type B contained 9 segments as there are three ramifications of right-anterior portal vein(464 cases, 36.82%). The main difference for Type C was the variation of right-posterior portal vein which was sector shape(102 cases, 8.10%). Type D contained the cases with special portal vein variations, which needs three-dimensional simulation to design individualized liver resection plan(157 cases, 12.46%). These results showed that there was no significant difference in liver segmental typing between genders(χ²=2.179, P=0.536) and did not reveal any significant difference in liver segmental typing among the different age groups(χ²=0.357, P=0.949). Conclusions The 3D digital liver model can demonstrate the true 3D anatomical structures, and its spatial vascular variations.The observation of anatomic features, distribution areas of intrahepatic portal veins and individualized liver segmentation achieved via digital medical 3D visualization technology is of great value for understand the complexity of liver anatomy and to guide the precise hepatectomy.
