ObjectiveTo clarify the differences in the efficacy and mechanism of different processed products of Atractylodes chinensis rhizoma by the pharmacodynamics and metabolomics studies of raw, bran-fried and rice water-processed products on rats with spleen deficiency. MethodSixty male SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, model group, raw product group(3.75 g·kg-1), bran-fried product group(3.75 g·kg-1), rice water-processed product group(3.75 g·kg-1) and Shenling Baizhusan group(6.7 g·kg-1), with 10 rats in each group. The method of excessive fatigue+improper diet was used to establish a spleen deficiency model in rats. After the end of modeling, except for the blank and model groups, each dosing group was given the corresponding drug suspension, the immune organ coefficients of each group of rats were examined, the levels of interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), immunoglobulin G(IgG), amylase(AMS), motilin(MTL), gastrin(GAS), Na+-K+-adenosine triphosphatase(ATPase), aquaporin 2(AQP2), AQP3 and AQP8 in rats were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Ultra high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) combined with orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were used to search for biomarkers in the plasma samples of spleen-deficient rats by using two criteria[P<0.05 and variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1], and to compare the different modulatory effects of the three decoction pieces on the splenic-deficient biomarkers, and metabolic pathway analysis was conducted through the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG) database. ResultCompared with the blank group, the thymus index and spleen index of rats in the model group were significantly decreased(P<0.05), the levels of IL-6, TNF-α, IgG and AQP2 were significantly increased(P<0.05), the levels of AMS, GAS, MTL, AQP3, AQP8 and Na+-K+-ATPase were significantly decreased(P<0.05). Compared with the model group, raw products, bran-fried products and rice water-processed products all increased thymus index and spleen index(P<0.05), decreased IL-6, TNF-α, IgG and AQP2 levels(P<0.05), and increased AMS, GAS, MTL, AQP3, AQP8 and Na+-K+-ATPase levels to different degrees. A total of 176 differential metabolites were screened in the model group compared with the blank group, of which 75, 72 and 84 biomarkers were called back by the raw products, bran-fried products and rice water-processed products, respectively(P<0.05, P<0.01). Raw products of A. chinensis rhizoma mainly affected glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. Bran-fried products mainly affected alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, D-arginine and D-ornithine metabolism. Rice water-processed products mainly affected glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism, citrate cycle, thiamine metabolism, D-arginine and D-ornithine metabolism. ConclusionRaw products, bran-fried products and rice water-processed products of A. chinensis rhizoma all have good spleen strengthening effects, among which the effects of bran-fried products and rice water-processed products were stronger. Meanwhile, raw products has the strongest dryness, followed by bran-fried products, and the weakest dryness of rice water-processed products. The three decoction pieces are able to significantly modulate metabolic abnormalities in spleen-deficient rats, and the mechanism may be related to amino acid metabolism such as glycine, serine and threonine metabolism as well as alanine, aspartate and glutamate metabolism.

By reviewing the historical materia medica, medical books and modern literature, this paper has systematically sorted out and verified the name, origin, quality and other aspects of Ophicalcitum. After herbal textual research, it is shown that before the Qing dynasty, the mineral medicine was mostly recorded in the name of Huarushi, but now it is called Huaruishi, and there is another mixed name Baiyunshi. The light white spots described in the historical materia medica are consistent with the characteristics of marble with sparkling star-like luster, combined with the color like sulfur, color are green, black spots and other serpentine features, it is deduced that it is serpentine marble, consistent with the present-day Ophicalcitum, and Ophicalcitum in the Song dynasty has a high content of serpentine. The main producing areas are Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi and Sichuan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hebei and other places are also available. Successive generations of materia medica on the quality evaluation of Ophicalcitum is less, the modern to neat and firm in the texture, sandwiched with yellow-green mottled for the best. Ophicalcitum is acidic, astringent and neutral in nature, belonging to the liver meridian, with the efficacy of treatment of gold sores and blood flow, internal leakage of cataracts, dropping afterbirth, now describing its efficacy as removing blood stasis and stopping bleeding. In ancient times, the earliest processing method was burning, followed by calcination by sulphur, calcination, quenching with vinegar and other methods. In modern times, it has been simplified to open calcination, processing with vinegar and the addition of water quenching. The gravimetric method and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid titration were used to detect the contents of CO32- and CaCO3 in Ophicalcitum, respectively, and it was found that the gap in CaCO3 content among commercially available products was wide, and the content of CaCO3 in sample S13 and sample S18 was the same, but their compositions were different, and according to the contents of CO32- and CaCO3, the dolomite and calcite contents could be calculated, of which the higher the calcite content the more obvious the sparkling star-like luster. Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction(XRD) were used to detect the physical phase composition of the powder of the samples, and Raman spectroscopy was used for the rapid non-destructive testing of the striped part, which showed that Ophicalcitum was mainly composed of dolomite, calcite, serpentine, olivine and pyroxene, with serpentine dominanting the striped part. In summary, the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia stipulates that the content of CaCO3 in Ophicalcitum is not less than 40%, which is difficult to control its quality, and it is suggested to increase the detection of CO32- content. This study can provide a scientific basis for the traceability of Ophicalcitum and better guide the clinical medication and rational utilization of resources.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, researchers have applied it to the diagnosis of various tumors in the urinary system in recent years, and have obtained many valuable research results. The article sorted the research status of artificial intelligence technology in the fields of renal tumors, bladder tumors and prostate tumors from three aspects: the number of papers, image data, and clinical tasks. The purpose is to summarize and analyze the research status and find new valuable research ideas in the future. The results show that the artificial intelligence model based on medical data such as digital imaging and pathological images is effective in completing basic diagnosis of urinary system tumors, image segmentation of tumor infiltration areas or specific organs, gene mutation prediction and prognostic effect prediction, but most of the models for the requirement of clinical application still need to be improved. On the one hand, it is necessary to further improve the detection, classification, segmentation and other performance of the core algorithm. On the other hand, it is necessary to integrate more standardized medical databases to effectively improve the diagnostic accuracy of artificial intelligence models and make it play greater clinical value.
