Objective To explore the best way for clinical screening of primary aldosteronism (PA).Methods Three hundred and three suspected cases of PA were collected and divided into groups of primary aldosteronism group, essential hypertension group, and nonsecreting cortical adrenal tumor group.The plasma aldosterone concentration/plasma renin concentration ratio ( ARR) was used to draw the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve and obtain the best cut-off point.Furthermore, the current screening schemes for PA were compared.Results Upright ARR yield had larger areas under the ROC curve than plasma aldosterone concentration or plasma renin concentration under all conditions of testing. The best cut-off point of upright ARR[(pg/ml)/(μIU/ml)] for the diagnosis of PA was 43.45.During the two postural stimulation tests,the two upright ARR exceeded 43.45 with the highest diagnostic sensitivity of PA reaching 0.94.During the two upright tests ARR was less than 43.45, with a sensitivity of 0.74, and a specificity of 0.94.Conclusion To screen for PA in high-risk populations, twice postural stimulation test is recommended.As long as the upright ARR is above 43.45, PA may be considered and further confirmation is needed to prevent misdiagnosis.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a method to determine the contents of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in Uncaria rhynchophylla. METHODS: The separation degree of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (C4mimCl) as mobile phase additive was compared with that of mobile phase without additives and with traditional additive triethylamine (which damaged the chromatographic column). The optimum concentration of C4mimCl was screened and the contents of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in U. rhynchophylla from 4 habitats in Jiangxi province were determined by the newly established method. The determination was performed on Dikmatech Diamonsil Plus C18 column, the mobil phase was acetonitrile-buffer (0.1% phosphoric acid+3.0 mmol/L C4mimCl), gradient elution. UV detection wavelength was set at 245 nm and the flow rate was 1 mL/min. Sample size was 10 μL. RESULTS: When mobile phase had no additives or 3.0 mmol/L triethylamine and 3.0 mmol/L C4mimCl were added as additives, the separation of rhynchophylline from the front peak was 1.02, 1.23 and 1.72, and the separation from the back peak was 1.06, 6.00 and 4.25, respectively. The symmetry factors were 0.81, 0.86 and 1.13, respectively. The separation of isorhynchophylline from the front peak was 0.96, 3.89 and 4.05, and the separation from the back peak was 1.02, 2.34 and 2.36, respectively. The symmetry factors were 0.88, 0.81 and 0.96, respectively. The linear range of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline were 4.93-157.76 (r=0.999 9) and 4.98-159.50 μg/mL (r=1.000), respectively. The quantitative limits were 0.486 4, 0.793 6 μg/mL, respectively. RSDs of precision, repeatability, stability and durability tests were all less than 5% (n=6). The recovery rates were 102.9%-107.8% (RSD=1.7%,n=6) and 95.4%-106.3% (RSD=3.9%,n=6), respectively. The content of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in U. rhynchophylla from 4 habitats were 0.758-1.343 and 1.511-1.823 mg/g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Addition of C4mimCl into mobile phase can enhance its separation. Established HPLC method is rapid, accurate and reproducible, which can be used for content determination of rhynchophylline and isorhynchophylline in U. rhynchophylla.

【Objective】 To investigate the risk factors and predictive effectiveness of prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) score for patients with clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa) whose PI-RADS score was 3, so as to provide evidence for the diagnosis and treatment. 【Methods】 The clinical and multi-parameter magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) data of 153 CsPCa patients treated during Jan.2017 and Dec.2021 whose PI-RADS score was 3 were retrospectively analyzed. With PI-RADS score of 3 as the independent risk factor for CsPCa, the other relevant independent risk factors in predicting CsPCa were evaluated. 【Results】 Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density and apparent dispersion coefficient (ADC) were independent risk factors for the diagnosis of CsPCa (P<0.05). Analysis of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed that combined PSA density and ADC were more effective than PSA density and ADC alone (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The combination of PSA density and ADC can guide clinicians to identify high-risk CsPCa patients from patients with PI-RADS score of 3 points.
