Objective:To explore the value of stress hyperglycemia ratio (SHR) in predicting the prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF).Methods:AHF patients admitted to the Emergency Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital from December 2016 to January 2019 were retrospectively included. Clinical data were recorded and SHR was calculated. According to the survival of the patients within 1 year, they were divided into the death group ( n=89) and the survival group ( n=218). Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of mortality. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the correlation between SHR and the prognosis of AHF patients. Results:A total of 307 patients aged 83 ( range 74-87) years old who met the inclusion criteria were included in this study, including 153 males and 104 females. The age, SHR and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in the death group were higher than those in the survival group [84 (78, 88) vs 82 (72, 86), 1.11 (0.91, 1.51) vs 1.02 (0.86, 1.27), 5 351 (2 098, 14 039)μg/L vs 4 243 (2 294, 7 565)μg/L ]. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) in the death group was significantly lower than that of the survival group [53 (45, 57) % vs 58 (44, 64) %, P< 0.05]. Logistic regression analysis showed that SHR was an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients ( OR=2.397, 95% CI: 1.285-4.471, P< 0.05). Median SHR was used to draw the survival curve. Patients with high SHR had a lower cumulative survival rate, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SHR can identify critically ill patients and is an independent risk factor for death in AHF patients.

The HPLC fingerprint differences ofRadix Platycodonis from different origins were studied to provide references for their quality control and production. The total platycodins were purified by DB101 macroporous resin. HPLC-ELSD fingerprints of the total platycodins for 39 batches ofRadix Platycodonis samples from 9 provinces were performed on an Agilent HC-C8 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5μm) with gradient elution. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-0.5% acetic acid. The injection volume was 6μL. The flow rate was 0.5 mL·min-1. The temperature of drift tube was set at 90℃. And the gas flow (N2) was set at 1.2 mL·min-1. The results showed that there were large differences in the quality ofRadix Platycodonis from different origins with the common fingerprints of 6 batches of samples fromChifeng in Inner Mongolia as references. The quality ofRadix Platycodonis was closely related to the seeds, the ecological environment, the way of drying and storing and so on. It was concluded that it was important to strengthen the provenance base construction, standardization of the seeds, reasonable formulation of the regionalization, and standardization of the production processing for the cultivation and production ofRadix Platycodonis.

A novel method for simultaneous determination of 3 rat poisons ( tetramine, bromadiolone, brodifacoum) and 5 toxic alkaloids ( hyoscyamine, scopolamine, gelsemine, strychnine, brucine ) in toxic samples by dispersive liquid-liquid micro-extraction ( DLLME ) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was established. A mixture extractant containing 100 μL trichloromethane and 600 μL methanol was injected into the prepared sample to form an emulsion and the extraction process was accomplished. After centrifuged at 8000 r/min for 5 min, the settled drop of trichloromethane solvent was transferred to a conical insert within a GC autosampler vessel, and analyzed by GC-MS. Factors affecting extraction efficiency such as the type and volume of extractant, dispersive agent, extraction time, pH value and salt concentration of extraction system were studied. The limits of detection(LODs) were from 0. 003 to 1 μg/L in water sample, urine sample and rice wine sample. LODs were from 0. 002 to 0. 2 μg/kg in rice sample. The recoveries of toxic samples were in the range of 81. 0%-110%. The relative standard deviations( RSDs) were lower than 7%. The proposed method was sensitive, effective, and suitable for the simultaneous determination of toxic alkaloids and rat poisons in food poisoning sample.
