Patients with gastric cancer often have different degrees of dyslipidemia, and the level of lipid changes is closely related to the occurrence, development and prognosis of gastric cancer. The mechanism of lipid metabolism in gastric cancer has also attracted much attention, and it may be related to the reverse cholesterol transport function, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. In addition, statins may reduce the risk of gastric cancer and associated mortality. Further research on the correlation between blood lipid levels and gastric cancer is aimed to provide new ideas for the future prevention and precision diagnosis and treatment of gastric cancer.

Background: Both type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with an elevated risk of morbidity and mortality yet with increasing heterogeneity. This study primarily aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MetS among adult patients with T1DM in China and investigate its associated risk factors, and relationship with microvascular complications. Methods: We included adult patients who had been enrolled in the Guangdong T1DM Translational Medicine Study conducted from June 2010 to June 2015. MetS was defined according to the updated National Cholesterol Education Program criterion. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the odds ratio (OR) for the association between MetS and the risk of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and diabetic retinopathy (DR). Results: Among the 569 eligible patients enrolled, the prevalence of MetS was 15.1%. While female gender, longer diabetes duration, higher body mass index, and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were risk factors associated with MetS (OR, 2.86, 1.04, 1.14, and 1.23, respectively), received nutrition therapy education was a protective factor (OR, 0.46). After adjustment for gender, age, diabetes duration, HbA1c, socioeconomic and lifestyle variables, MetS status was associated with an increased risk of DKD and DR (OR, 2.14 and 3.72, respectively; both P<0.05). Conclusion Although the prevalence of MetS in adult patients with T1DM in China was relatively low, patients with MetS were more likely to have DKD and DR. A comprehensive management including lifestyle modification might reduce their risk of microvascular complications in adults with T1DM.

OBJECTIVE： To establish a method for the determination of piperitylmagnolol in the incubation system of liver microsomes， and to investigate the metabolic characteristics of it in different species of liver microsomes. METHODS： The piperitylmagnolol were respectively dissolved in NADPH activated liver microsome incubation systems of human， rat， mouse， monkey and dog， and then incubated in water at 37 ℃. The reaction was terminated with methanol at 0， 2， 5， 10， 15， 20， 30， 45 and 60 minutes of incubation， respectively. Using magnolol as internal standard， UPLC-MS/MS method was used to determine the concentration of piperitylmagnolol in the incubation system. The determination was performed on Acquity UPLCTM CSH C18 column with mobile phase consisted of 0.1％ formic acid-methanol （gradient elution） at the flow rate of 0.3 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃， and the sample size was 2 μL. The ion source was electrospray ion source， and the positive ion scanning was carried out in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. The ion pairs used for quantitative analysis were m/z 401.2→331.1 （piperitylmagnolol） and m/z 265.1→247.0 （internal standard）， respectively. Using the concentration of piperitylmagnolol at 0 min of incubation as a reference， the residual percentage， metabolism half-life in vitro （t1/2） and intrinsic clearance （CLint） were calculated for different incubation systems. The metabolic pathway of piperitylmagnolol was studied by chemical inhibitor method. Under the above chromatographic conditions， the metabolites in vitro were preliminarily analyzed by first-order full scanning and positive ion detection. RESULTS： The linear range of piperitylmagnolol was 3.91-500.00 ng/mL. The limit of quantitation was 3.91 ng/mL. RSDs of intra-day and inter-day were less than 10％. The accuracy ranged 87.40％-103.75％. Matrix effect didn’t affect the determination of the substance to be measured. The piperitylmagnolol was metabolized significantly in human， rat， mouse and dog liver microsomes， but not in monkey liver microsomes. After incubating for 30 min， residual percentage of piperitylmagnolol kept stable in different species of liver microsomes. The t1/2 of piperitylmagnolol were 12.07， 17.68， 17.59， 216.56 and 61.88 min in human， rat， mouse， monkey and dog liver microsomes； CLint were 0.115， 0.078， 0.079， 0.006， 0.022 mL/（min·mg）， respectively. Inhibitory rates of CYP2A6， CYP2D6， CYP2C19， CYP3A4， CYP2C9， CYP2E1 and CYP1A2 to compound metabolism were 55.76％， 93.94％， 96.01％， 93.69％， 71.81％， 23.25％， 28.04％， respectively. Quasi-molecular ion peaks of the two main metabolites of piperitylmagnolol in human liver microsomes were m/z 441.2（[M+Na]+） and m/z 337.2（[M+H]+）， respectively. CONCLUSIONS： Established UPLC-MS/MS method is simple， rapid and specific， and can be used for the determination of piperitylmagnolol concentration in the incubation system of liver microsomes and pharmacokinetic study. The metabolic characteristics of the compound are different among liver microsomes of human， rat， mouse， monkey and dog. Its metabolism process may be associated with CYP2D6， CYP2C19， CYP3A4， CYP2C9， etc.

OBJECTIVE To understand the current status of research on traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） human resources， and to provide a reference for expanding research ideas on TCM human resources and promoting the construction of TCM talents. METHODS From January 1， 2000 to December 31， 2022， literature related to TCM human resources was collected from the three major databases of CNKI， Wanfang and VIP. Using CiteSpace 5.8 R3 software， visualization analysis was performed for the literature in terms of publication time， journal sources， authors， institutions and areas， funding， research content， keywords， etc. RESULTS A total of 324 literature related to TCM human resources in China were included， and the number of literature issued showed an upward trend， with an annual average of 14.09 literature； 161 kinds of journals were involved， core journals accounted for 18.21% of the total publication volume； a total of 23 authors had published 2 or more literature， with a total of 55 literature published （16.98%）； a total of 416 institutions were involved， mainly schools （66.83%）； 60.49% of the literature were supported by the fund. The majorities of 324 literature were survey studies （170 literature）， and most of them used self-designed questionnaires （55 literature）； the high-frequency keywords included talent training， human resources， TCM， etc. The keywords were clustered into 7 categories， such as “human resources“”talent training“”TCM industry“”TCM services“”talent training models” “fairness” and “TCM talents”. The main problems described in the literature included insufficient talent， lack of reasonable distribution of regional structure， lack of reasonable plans for talent training， and insufficient professional knowledge and abilities. Continuously cultivating high-level talents and improving employment conditions in areas with severe human resource loss were the corresponding countermeasures proposed in the literature. CONCLUSIONS The research on TCM human resources starts late but has developed rapidly overall， and the quality of research needs to be improved； the structure of research team is single and unevenly distributed geographically； there is a structural imbalance in the allocation of human resources， as well as problems such as a shortage of professional talents， low levels of education and training and incomplete development systems.
