Objective To establish a quality evaluation method for Abri Mollis Herba based on its morphological characteristics, microscopic features, and the determination of principal component contents. Methods The morphological characteristics of Abri Mollis Herba were identified by morphological authentication methods. Microscopic techniques were employed to observe the microscopic features of both the powdered form and cross-sectional tissue of Abri Mollis Herba. Additionally, a high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） method was developed to establish the quantify the main components, abrine and soyasaponin Bb, in Abri Mollis Herba. Results The morphological characteristics of Abri Mollis Herba were defined by numerous long pubescence on both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaflets, with indistinct veins and vein islands. The microscopic features mainly included non-glandular hairs, prismatic crystals, and crystal-sheathed fibers in the powdered form. In the root cross-section, xylem bundles, rays, vessels, and stone cells were visible. The stem cross-section displayed rays, vessels, and a hollow pith, while the leaf cross-section revealed collateral vascular bundles, vessels, and prismatic crystals. Conclusion The quality of Abri Mollis Herba could be effectively evaluated by the combination of morphological identification, microscopic authentication, and the quantification of main components abrine and soyasaponin Bb .

Jieji Town, Shiji Township, and Linhuai Town were selected from the east area, and Tianganghu Township, Meihua Town from the west area. One administrative village was selected as a survey point in each township. Using cluster sampling method, 450 permanent residents aged 3 years old and older in the village were selected as the respondents for questionnaire survey and fecal sample collection. The infection status of hookworms, roundworms, whipworms and pinworms in fecal samples were examined, transparent tape anal swab method for detecting pinworm eggs in children, and influencing factors were analyzed.Results:A total of 2 264 survey subjects were included, 18 cases of soil borne nematodes were detected as positive, with an overall positive rate of 0.80%. Among them, 15 cases were positive for hookworms, 1 case was positive for whipworms, and 2 cases were positive for pinworms, with detection rates of 0.66%, 0.04%, and 0.09%, respectively. No ascaris lumbricoides were detected. Transparent tape anal swab method was used to examine 142 children, and the positivity rate of 1.41% (2/142). By township, the detection rate of soil borne nematodes was the highest in Jieji Town, at 2.41% (11/457); the others were Meihua Town, Tianganghu Township, Shiji Township, and Linhuai Town, with detection rates of 0.89% (4/451),0.66% (3/454), 0 (0/451) and 0 (0/451), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between different townships (χ 2 = 19.21, P < 0.001). Among the 18 positive cases of soil borne nematode, 7 were males and 11 were females, with detection rates of 0.66% (7/1 063) and 0.92% (11/1 201), respectively, the difference was not statistically significant (χ 2 = 0.47, P = 0.491). The age distribution showed the highest detection rate in the 40 - < 60 age group, at 1.42% (9/634), with statistically significant differences between different age groups (χ 2 = 6.41, P = 0.033). The occupational distribution showed the highest detection rate in farmers, at 1.46% (9/617), with statistically significant differences between different professions (χ 2 = 8.00, P = 0.034). The differences in total soil borne nematode and hookworm detection rates were statistically significant among different methods of treating human and animal feces (χ 2 = 11.01, 9.02, P = 0.003, 0.011). Conclusions:The main species of soil borne nematode infections in Sihong County, Suqian City are hookworms, with fewer infections of whipworms and pinworms, and no roundworm infections observed. There are regional differences in detection rate. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen health education for key populations, enhance health knowledge publicity, and effectively intervene to change unhealthy production and lifestyle, further reducing the infection of soil borne nematodes in Suqian City.

The L5-S1 lumbar disc degeneration score was significantly different among the three groups ( P=0.012) . BMD was positively correlated with BMI, and negatively correlated with menopause time, age, L1/2, L2/3, L3/4, L4/5, L5/S1 and L1-S1 intervertebral disc degeneration degree. Conclusion:In postmenopausal women, BMD was negatively correlated with menopause time, age, and degree of lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration, and was positively correlated with BMI. The lower the BMD, the more severe the lumbar degenerative disease.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for the progression of acute kidney injury (AKI) in decompensated cirrhosis patients with acute kidney injury.Methods:The basic data and laboratory results of decompensated cirrhosis patients with AKI hospitalized in the Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from May 2016 to November 2021 were collected. Treatment and intervention were performed according to the International Club of Ascites guidelines. According to the outcome of AKI during hospitalization, patients were divided into the progression group and the non-progression group. Two independent sample rank sum test, two independent sample or approximate t test, chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 263 decompensated cirrhosis AKI patients were enrolled, including 50 in the progressive group and 213 in the non-progressive group. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in baseline total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase, prothrombin time, serum sodium, white blood cell count, model for end-stage liver disease score, proportion of patients with infection, proportion of patients with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, and proportion of patients with primary AKI stage between the two groups ( Z=-6.49, -3.53, t=-3.06, 3.40, -3.55, -8.19 and χ2=14.64, 8.40, 103.98, respectively, all P<0.050). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that primary AKI stage (stage two odds ratio ( OR)=33.176, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 11.294 to 97.458, P<0.001; stage three OR=114.139, 95% CI 25.321 to 514.515, P<0.001), upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage ( OR=3.850, 95% CI 1.238 to 11.971, P=0.020) and total bilirubin ( OR=1.009, 95% CI 1.005 to 1.012, P<0.001) were the risk factors for the progression of AKI in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Conclusions:Decompensated cirrhosis patients with AKI stage two or three, high baseline total bilirubin value or gastrointestinal hemorrhage have a high risk of AKI progression. It is necessary to strengthen the assessment and take targeted intervention measures at early stage in the clinical practice.

There are various examination methods for cardiovascular diseases. Non-invasive diagnosis and prognostic information acquisition are the current research hotspots of related imaging examinations. Positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a new advanced fusion imaging technology that combines the molecular imaging of PET with the soft tissue contrast function of MRI to achieve their complementary advantages. This article briefly introduces several major aspects of cardiac PET/MRI in the diagnosis of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis, ischemic cardiomyopathy, nodular heart disease, and myocardial amyloidosis, in order to promote cardiac PET/MRI to be more widely used in precision medicine in this field.
