Objective:To investigate the trend of radiological diagnostic examination frequency and the related influencing factors in a general hospital in recent four years.Methods:The hospital information system and the radiology information system were used to collect the information on the numbers of the outpatients, the emergency patients, and the inpatients and the radiology examination information from 2019 to 2022. The examination frequency and proportion of various imaging equipment were counted by using the perspective table of data, and the examination items and the proportion of the radiological diagnostic examinations were calculated. The positive rates of the radiological examinations were measured from 2019 to 2022. The gender and age distribution of the patients were analyzed. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationships between the numbers of the patients undergoing radiological examinations and the numbers of the outpatients, emergency patients and the inpatients.Results:The annual frequency of radiological diagnostic examinations from 2019 to 2022 were 307 306, 245 418, 317 250 and 325 625, respectively, with a total of 1 195 599. Among them, the proportions of CT, X-rays, bedside X-rays, bone density, gastrointestinal imaging and mammography were 59.74%, 38.04%, 1.39%, 0.42%, 0.21% and 0.19%, respectively. In each year, the proportion of CT in all radiological diagnostic examinations was 49.58%, 63.40%, 60.40% and 65.20%, respectively. The frequency of emergency CT and emergency chest CT was correlated with the number of emergency patients( r =0.63, 0.61, P<0.05), and the frequency of non-emergency CT was correlated with the number of outpatients and inpatients ( r =0.61, 0.66, P<0.05). The positive rates of the CT examinations were higher than 80% except the lowest of 79.95% in 2021. Conclusions:Radiological examinations especially CT examinations have increased significantly, and played an important role in the diagnosis of diseases. However, attention should be paid to the Justification of the CT examinations. Timely statistical analysis of radiological examination information can provide data supports and references for scientific management of radiological examinations.

ObjectiveIn order to understand the quality differences between wild and cultivated Bupleurum chinense(BC), modern analytical techniques were used to systematically compare the quality of wild and cultivated BC in terms of appearance characteristics, primary and secondary metabolites. MethodSamples of wild and cultivated BC were collected from the main production areas of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Hebei, and images of BC were collected and their length and diameter were measured using vernier caliper to compare and analyze the characteristics of the two. Referring to the method under extract of CP in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the extract contents of the two species were determined. The cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin compositions of both were determined using fiber analyzer. Quantitative determination of representative saikosaponins, flavonoids and saccharides in BC by ultra performance liquid chromatography(UPLC), headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(HS-GC-MS) was used to determine the types and relative contents of volatile components, and UPLC-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) coupled with multivariate statistical analysis was used to screen and identify the differential compounds between wild and cultivated BC. ResultThere were significant differences in the appearance characteristics between wild and cultivated BC, the wild BC had a large root head, twisted and thick axial root, rough epidermis, and often had a stem base and lateral root with dark color and strong odor. However, the cultivated BC has long and straight taproots, delicate epidermis, few lateral roots, light root color and light smell. In terms of primary and secondary metabolites, the contents of alcohol-soluble extract and lignin of wild BC was significantly higher than those of cultivated BC, while the contents of water soluble extract and quercitrin was higher than those of cultivated BC, but the difference was not significant. The contents of cellulose, five saikosaponins, rutin, narcissoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside in cultivated BC were significantly higher than those of wild BC, and the total water-soluble polysaccharides, sucrose, hemicellulose and starch of cultivated BC were higher than those of wild BC, but the difference was not significant. The results of HS-GC-MS identification showed that a total of 67 volatile components were identified in wild and cultivated BC, 59 in wild BC and 51 in cultivated BC, with a total of 43 compounds in both, and the screening based on variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1 revealed that the differential components were mainly concentrated in the aromatic and fatty acid compounds. The results of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS-based non-targeted metabolomics combined with multivariate statistical analysis showed that the two were significantly different in saikosaponins and the differential compounds had higher response values in cultivated BC. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the appearance, primary and secondary metabolite contents between wild and cultivated BC. At present, the quality evaluation system of cultivated BC is not perfect, and this study provides theoretical references for updating and revising the quality evaluation standard of cultivated BC and guiding the production of high-quality BC.

ObjectiveTo conduct a systematic comparative study on wild and cultivated Codonopsis pilosula(CP) from three aspects, including characters, microscopy, and contents of primary and secondary metabolites. MethodWild and cultivated CP samples were collected, their characters were measured using vernier caliper, tape measure and balance, the paraffin sections were stained with safranin-fixed green dyeing, and their microstructure were observed under the optical microscope. The content of alcohol-soluble extracts in wild and cultivated CP was determined according to the method for determination of extract under CP in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the starch content was determined by anthrone colorimetry, the content of total polysaccharides was determined by kit method, Fiber analyzer was used to determine the content of fiber components, and ultra performance liquid chromatography(UPLC) was used to determine the content of monosaccharides, disaccharides and some secondary metabolites. Multivariate statistical analysis methods such as principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were employed to screen key differential components between wild and cultivated CP on the basis of variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1 and P<0.05. ResultIn terms of morphological characteristics, the "lion's head-like" shape, longitudinal wrinkles, and circumferential wrinkles below the root cap of wild CP were more pronounced in wild CP compared to the cultivated ones. Regarding transverse sectional features, wild CP had more fissures on the outer side of the cortex and a larger duramen. Under microscopic examination, wild CP had more stone cells, a larger proportion of xylem, and the presence of cork cells arranged in rings in the xylem, while cultivated CP has a larger proportion of phloem, smaller vessel diameters, and a more loosely arranged vascular system. In terms of primary metabolites, the contents of 45% ethanol-soluble extract and total polysaccharides in cultivated CP were significantly higher than those in the wild ones(P<0.05), the contents of lignin, hemicellulose, cellulose, fructose and glucose in wild CP were significantly higher than those in the cultivated ones(P<0.05), while sucrose content in the cultivated CP was significantly higher than that in the wild ones(P<0.05). Concerning secondary metabolites, the contents of tryptophan and tangshenoside Ⅰ in cultivated CP were significantly higher than those in the wild ones(P<0.05), whereas the contents of lobetyolinin, lobetyol and atractylenolide Ⅲ in wild CP were significantly higher than those in the cultivated ones(P<0.05). ConclusionThere are significant differences between wild and cultivated CP in terms of morphological characteristics, microscopic features and chemical composition. Glucose, fructose, sucrose, tangshenoside Ⅰ, tryptophan and cellulose components are the key differential components between wild and cultivated CP. Wild CP contains more polyacetylenes and fructose, whereas cultivated CP has higher levels of tangshenoside Ⅰ and sucrose, with noticeably lower cellulose content. These distinctions may be related to their growth conditions, growth years and cultivation techniques. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended to increase polyacetylenes and the content ratio of fructose to sucrose as an indicators to characterize different production methods of CP, in order to guide the high-quality production of CP.

ObjectiveTo compare wild and cultivated Paeoniae Radix Rubra(PRR) in three aspects, including character, microscope, determination of primary and secondary metabolites. MethodSeventeen batches of wild and nine batches of cultivated PRR were collected,their character data were measured by vernier caliper and scales, and their paraffin sections were made by safranin-fixed green dyeing for the observation of microscopic features. The content of ethanol-soluble extracts and total tannin from wild and cultivated PRR was determined by the method of general principle 2201 and 2202 in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the content of polysaccharides was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method. Anthrone colorimetry was used to determine the content of starch, and Van Soest method of washing fiber was used to determine the content of fiber. The contents of fructose, glucose and sucrose in wild and cultivated PRR were determined by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography evaporative light scattering detection(UPLC-ELSD), and the secondary metabolites(gallic acid, methyl gallate, catechin, oxypaeoniflorin, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, ellagic acid, 1,3,4,6-tetragalloylglucose, galloylpaeoniflorin, 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose, naringenin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and benzoylalbiflorin) were determined by UPLC. Principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were used to analyze the data of wild and cultivated PRR, the contribution of different factors to the difference was determined according to the variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1 and P<0.05. ResultIn term of characters, wild PRR showed the traditional characteristic of Zaopi Fencha, its outer skin was loose and easy to fall off, its surface had longitudinal furrow and wrinkle, but the outer skin of cultivated PRR was not easy to fall off, and its surface was relatively smooth. The radial texture of xylem of wild PRR cross-section was more obvious, showing radial striations, vacuoles and more cracks, while the radial texture of xylem of cultivated PRR cross-section was not obvious, dense and some had cracks. Microscopically, the number of radial vessels arranged in the xylem of wild PRR was more than that of cultivated PRR, the number of calcium oxalate clusters in the phloem and xylem of wild PRR was more than that of cultivated PRR, while the number of starch grains was significantly higher in cultivated PRR. In terms of the content of primary chemical constituents, the contents of polysaccharides and starch of cultivated PRR were significantly higher than those of wild PRR(P<0.05), while the contents of cellulose, lignin, fructose and glucose of wild PRR were significantly higher than those of cultivated PRR(P<0.05). The results of determination of 13 secondary metabolites showed that the contents of paeoniflorin, methyl gallate, catechin and oxypaeoniflorin in wild PRR were significantly higher than those in cultivated PRR(P<0.05), while the contents of albiflorin, gallic acid, ellagic acid, naringenin, benzoylpaeoniflorin and benzoylalbiflorin were significantly lower than those of cultivated PRR(P<0.05). A total of 10 variables contributing to the differentiation between wild and cultivated PRR were screened, including albiflorin, cellulose, benzoylpaeoniflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, naringenin, ellagic acid, starch, lignin, paeoniflorin and total tannins. ConclusionThere are significant differences between wild and cultivated PRR in characters, microscopic characteristics, contents of primary and secondary metabolites. It is suggested that the content ratio of paeoniflorin and albiflorin, the contents of oxypaeoniflorin and cellulose can be used as indicators to characterize production methods of PRR so as to improve the quality standard of PRR. This study can provide reference for the improvement of quality standard of PRR and the guidance of high quality production of PRR.
