Based on spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness as the core pathogenesis of obesity， and integrating recent advances in modern medicine regarding the key role of immune inflammation in obesity， this paper proposes a multidimensional pathogenic network of "obesity-spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness-immune imbalance". Various traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） herbs that strengthen the spleen， regulate qi， and resolve phlegm and dampness can treat obesity by improving spleen-stomach transport and transformation， promoting water-damp metabolism， and regulating immune homeostasis. This highlights immune inflammation as an important entry point to elucidate the TCM concepts of "spleen deficiency-phlegm dampness" and the therapeutic principle of "strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness to treat obesity". By systematically analyzing the intrinsic connection between "spleen deficiency generating dampness， internal accumulation of phlegm dampness" and immune dysregulation in obesity， this paper aims to provide theoretical support for TCM treatment of obesity based on dampness.

OBJECTIVE: To compare and analyze the changes of aggregation rate and routine parameters of platelets stored in temperature cycle, cold storage at 4 ℃ and oscillating storage at 22 ℃, so as to provide more experimental data for platelet preservation methods. METHODS: Blood samples were collected at 5 time points on the 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd, 4^th and 6^th day after platelet cycling preservation at temperature, cold storage at 4 ℃, and oscillating storage at 22 ℃. Platelet maximum aggregation rate (MAR) and routine parameters including platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and platelet-larger cell ratio (P-LCR) were detected. RESULTS: The platelet MAR of three groups showed a significant decrease trend with the preservation time, the fastest decrease was in the 22 ℃ group, the slowest was in the 4 ℃ group, and the temperature cycle group was between the two groups. On the 3^rd day of preservation, the platelet MAR in 4 ℃ group was still in the normal range (MAR>60%), while in temperature cycle group was about 50%, and in 22 ℃ group was the lowest. On the 4^th day of preservation, platelet MAR in all the three groups was lower than 50%, and that in temperature cycle group was significantly lower than in 4 ℃ group but higher than in 22 ℃ group (both P < 0.05). On the 6^th day of preservation, platelet MAR in the temperature cycle group was significantly lower than that in the 4 ℃ group ( P <0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference compared to 22 ℃ group (P >0.05). PLT values in the three groups were all significantly decreased with the preservation time extension, and were significantly lower than those in the early stage of preservation within 6 days (all P < 0.05). PDW in temperature cycle group had no significant change within 6 days of preservation, but MPV and P-LCR were significantly increased. MPV, PDW and P-LCR all decreased significantly in 4 ℃ group within 6 days of preservation but increased in 22 ℃ group. Under the same storage days, PLT value of temperature cycle group had no significant difference with that of 4 ℃ group and 22 ℃ group, while MPV, PDW and P-LCR values were significantly higher than 4 ℃ group but lower than 22 ℃ group (all P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The aggregation function and routine parameters changes of temperature circulating preserved platelets are between 4 and 22 ℃.

Ion mobility spectroscopy(IMS)has many advantages such as fast detection speed,high sensitivity,and portability,and thus plays an important role in on-site detection of chemical agents,explosives,drugs,environmental pollutants,and other pollutants.As a key component of IMS,the ion number density and temporal width of the injected ion packets directly determine the IMS detection sensitivity and resolution.In yhis study,the dual-parallel-grid structure of Tyndall-Powell gate(TPG),which could effectively isolate the electric fields within the ionization region,gate region,and drift region,was utilized to develop a dual effect TPG gating method for simultaneously enhancing the mobility discrimination reduction and ion packet temporal width compression,thereby improving the IMS performance.A TPG-IMS platform was thus built up and the effects of parameters such as gate opening pulsed width,gate penetration voltage,and ion injection voltage on the sensitivity and resolving power of IMS were systematically investigated using the dual-effect TPG gating method.The results demonstrated that,when detecting diethyl phosphate(DEP)and diethyl methylphosphate(DEMP)mixture using the dual effect TPG gating method,the peak currents of(DEP)2H+and(DEP·DEMP)H+ions with low K0 values were increased by 18 and 45 times respectively,while maintaining a high resolution of about 90.The limits of detection for DEP and DEMP were decreased from 4 ppb(10-9)to 235 ppt(10-12)and from 5 ppb to 156 ppt,respectively.This gating method only regulated the potential of the TPG grid adjacent to the drift region,without changing the structure of the ion mobility tube,making it convenient to apply on existing commercial instruments.

Objective To investigate the risk factors and preventive strategies of pancreaticoduodenectomy postoperative hemorrhage.Methods A total of 208 patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery of the 904th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force,PLA from January 2017 to December 2021 were enrolled.Twenty-one patients with postoperative hemorrhage were retrospectively analyzed.Results Univariate analysis indicated that postoperative hemorrhage was mainly associated with pancreatic leakage,biliary leakage,abdominal infection,hypoproteinemia,diabetes,improper use of ultrasound knife,skeletonization,intraoperative blood loss,preoperative jaundice,etc.(P<0.05),but not gender and age(P>0.05).Among the 21 patients with postoperative hemorrhage,4 cases recovered after conservative treatment such as hemostasis and blood transfusion,6 cases underwent interventional treatment,11 cases underwent abdominal exploration,and 2 cases died of postoperative multiple organ failure.Pancreatic leakage(OR=3.963,95%CI:1.120-14.025),biliary leakage(OR=4.013,95%CI:1.173-13.734)and abdominal infection(OR=7.545,95%CI:1.833-31.051)were independent risk factors for postoperative hemorrhage.Conclusions The improvement of anastomotic manipulation,reduction of anastomotic leakage,and control and prevention of abdominal infection are important to prevent postoperative hemorrhage of pancreaticoduodenectomy.Surgical treatment should be performed as soon as possible for the patients with poor conservative treatment effect.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no statistically significant difference in general information among the four groups.(2)No significant difference was found in intraoperative blood loss among the four groups.(3)The maximum decreased values of hemoglobin and hematocrit on days 1,3 and 5 after operation,drainage volume,total blood loss and hidden blood loss were all ranked as the combined group

Ion concentration polarization (ICP) is an electrical transport phenomenon that occurs at the micro-nano interface under the action of an applied electric field, and the ICP phenomenon can be used to enrich charged particles with high efficiency. The microfluidic chip has the advantages of high precision, high efficiency, easy integration and miniaturization in biochemical analysis, which provides a new solution and technical way for biochemical analysis. In response to the demand for the detection of trace charged target analytes in sample solution, the advantages of high enrichment multiplicity, convenient operation and easy integration of ICP are utilized to provide an effective way for microfluidic biochemical detection. The combination of ICP phenomenon and microfluidic analysis technology has been widely used in the fields of pre-enrichment of charged particles, separation of targets, and detection of target analytes in biochemical analysis. In this paper, the principle of ICP and the microfluidic ICP chip are briefly introduced. Under the action of external electric field, the co-ions pass through the ion-selective nanochannel, the counterions are rejected at the boundary of nanochannel to form a depletion zone, and the charged samples will be enriched at the boundary of the depletion zone. Then the preparation techniques and methods of ICP chips are summarized. Among them, the design of microfluidic channel structure and the preparation and design of nanostructures are emphasized. The basic single-channel structure is analyzed, and the parallel-channel structure as well as the integrated multi-functional microfluidic ICP chip are sorted out and summarized. The preparation methods of nanostructures in ICP chips and their respective advantages and disadvantages are listed, and it is summarized that the current mainstream means are the embedding method and the self-assembly method, and attention is paid to the design of nanostructures preparation methods by both of them. In addition, this paper also discusses how to optimize the enrichment efficiency of ICP chip, through the introduction of multi-field coupling, valve control and other means to achieve the optimization of the enrichment efficiency of target substances. Meanwhile, this paper provides a classified overview of the progress of application of ICP chips in biochemical analysis and detection. ICP chips have been widely used in the research and development of biosensors, which can be used for the enrichment and separation of a variety of analytes including small molecules, nucleic acids, proteins, and cells, etc. By changing the design of microfluidic structures, integrating detection methods and modifying specific antibodies, ICP chips have shown great potential in the fields of rapid enrichment and pre-processing of targets, separation of targets and highly sensitive detection. Finally, it is pointed out that ICP chips are facing challenges in improving enrichment efficiency and selectivity, and solving the problems of fluid control, mixing and transport to match the biological properties of target assay, and that microfluidic ICP chips have been continuously promoting the development of ICP chips through the improvement of materials, chip design and integration of multifunctional units, opening up new possibilities in the field of biochemical analysis methods and applications. It can be seen that microfluidic ICP chips have the advantages of low sample flow rate, good separation and enrichment, high detection efficiency, and easy integration and miniaturization, which have shown good research significance and practical prospects in the field of biochemical detection.

ObjectiveTo construct a macro-evaluation tool for dampness syndrome （DS） animal model， which will provide a basis for experimental research on dampness syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. MethodsConceptual framework of this study was clarified through discussions within the core working group， and dimensions of the evaluation of the animal model of DS were identified according to TCM principles. We searched CNKI， Wanfang， VIP and SinoMed databases from the inception to June 30th， 2023， on experiments involving dampness syndrome animals to create a pool of items about DS animal models. The core items were selected and extracted for factor analysis and cluster analysis. An expert importance rating questionnaire was developed based on the results of the literature review， analyzing the distribution of item scores， importance averages， and coefficient of variation. Through a comprehensive analysis of literature， expert importance scoring， and specific expert opinions， items that did not meet anyone of the criteria of average importance rating ≥2.04， coefficient of variation ≤30%， or literature eva-luation frequency ≥2% were removed， thereafter， the macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model was preliminarily constructed. ResultsSpirit and body state， autonomic activity state， body surface characteristics， diet， urination and defecation， tongue manifestation， and motor behavior assessment were constructed as the seven dimensions in the evaluation of DS animal model. A total of 348 papers about animal experiments were included and analyzed， resulting in a saturated pool of 72 items， which was refined to 38 core items of DS animal models. Factor analysis obtained 16 common factors， which were further clustered into two categories， named dampness transforming from heat syndrome and dampness transforming from cold syndrome. The expert importance scoring showed that the Kendall harmony coefficient was 0.359 （P＜0.05） indicating a high level of agreement， coordination and reliability among the experts. Notably， 50% or more of the experts considered the items thick and greasy tongue coating， unclean perianal area， loose stools， lethargy， unformed stools， and listless expression as very important. The median scores for all items were 2.04（1.73， 2.37）， with a coefficient of variation ranging from 19.73% to 53.38%. After expert evaluation， the macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model in TCM with 33 items and corresponding criteria for assessing the formation of DS models was finally contructed. ConclusionThe Macro-evaluation tool for DS animal model in TCM is highly scientific， credible， and operable， and can be utilized in DS animal experiments after its characteristics are actually evaluated.

Objective:To establish a predictive risk model for acute kidney injury (AKI) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients based on machine learning algorithm and compare with a traditional logistic regression model.Methods:It was a retrospective study. The demographic data, laboratory examination, treatment regimen and medication of AMI patients from July 2011 to December 2016 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital, Capital Medical University were collected. The diagnostic criteria of AKI were based on the AKI diagnosis and treatment guidelines published by Kidney Diseases: Improving Global Outcomes in 2012. The selected AMI patients were randomly divided into training set (70%) and internal test set (30%) by simple random sampling. SelectFromModel and Lasso regression models were used to extract clinical parameters as predictors of AKI in AMI patients. Logistic regression model (model A) and machine learning algorithm (model B) were used to establish the risk prediction model of AKI in AMI patients. DeLong method was used to compare the area under the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve ( AUC) between model A and model B for selecting the best model. Results:A total of 6 014 AMI patients were included in the study, with age of (58.4±11.7) years old and 3 414 males (80.5%). There were 674 patients (11.2%) with AKI. There were 4 252 patients (70.7%) in the training set and 1 762 patients (29.3%) in the test set. The selected twelve clinical parameters by the SelectFromModel and Lasso regression models included the number of myocardial infarctions, ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, ventricular tachycardia, third degree atrioventricular block, decompensated heart failure at admission, admission serum creatinine, admission blood urea nitrogen, admission peak creatine kinase isoenzyme, diuretics, maximum daily dose of diuretics, days of diuretic use and statins. Logistic regression prediction model showed that AUC for the test set was 0.80 (95% CI 0.76-0.84). The machine learning algorithm model obtained AUC in the test set with 0.82 (95% CI 0.78-0.85).There was no significant difference in AUC between the two models ( Z=0.858, P=0.363), and AUC of the machine learning algorithm predictive model was slightly higher than that of the traditional logistic regression model. Conclusions:The prediction effect of AKI risk in AMI patients based on machine learning algorithm is similar to that of traditional logistic regression model, and the prediction accuracy of machine learning algorithm is better. The introduction of machine learning algorithm model may improve the ability to predict AKI risk.
