ObjectiveTo establish the multi-technique characteristic profiles of Alumen by X-ray diffraction（XRD）， Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR） and thermogravimetric-differential thermal analysis（TG-DTA）， and to explore the spectral characteristics for rapid identification of Alumen and its potential adulterant， Ammonium alum. MethodsA total of 27 batches of Alumen samples from 8 production regions were collected for preliminary identification based on visual characteristics. The PDF standard cards of XRD were used to differentiate Alumen from A. alum， and the XRD characteristic profiles of Alumen were established， and then the common peaks were screened. Based on hierarchical clustering analysis（HCA） and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）， the characteristic information that could be used for identification of Alumen was selected with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1. FTIR characteristic profiles of Alumen were established， and key wavenumbers for identification were screened by HCA and OPLS-DA with VIP value>1. Meanwhile， the thermogravimetric differences between Alumen and A. alum were analyzed by TG-DTA， and the thermogravimetric traits that could be used for identification were screened. ResultsAlumen and A. alum could not be effectively distinguished by traits alone. However， by comparing the PDF standard cards of XRD， 15 batches of Alumen and 12 batches of A. alum could be distinguished. In the XRD profiles， 10 characteristic peaks were confirmed， corresponding to diffraction angles of 14.560°， 24.316°， 12.620°， 32.122°， 17.898°， 34.642°， 27.496°， 46.048°， 40.697° and 21.973°. In the FTIR profiles， 4 wavenumber ranges（399.193-403.050， 1 186.010-1 471.420， 1 801.190-2 620.790， 3 612.020-3 997.710 cm^-1） and 12 characteristic wavenumbers（1 428.994， 1 430.922， 1 432.851， 1 434.779， 1 436.708， 1 438.636， 1 440.565， 1 442.493， 1 444.422， 1 446.350， 1 448.279， 1 450.207 cm^-1） were identified. In the TG-DTA profiles， there were characteristic decomposition peaks of ammonium ion and mass reduction features near 555.34 ℃ for A. alum. These characteristics could serve as important criteria for distinguishing the authenticity of Alumen. ConclusionXRD， FTIR and TG-DTA can be used to rapidly detect Alumen and A. alum， and combined with the discriminant features selected through chemometrics， the rapid and accurate identification of Alumen and A. alum can be achieved. The research findings provide new approaches for the rapid identification of Alumen.

Objective:To translate the English version of the Beliefs Toward Mental Illness Scale (BTMI) into Chinese and test the reliability and validity of the Chinese version in college students.Methods:According to the Beaton cross-cultural adaptation guideline, the Chinese version of BTMI was formed. From April to May 2023, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 915 university students from 171 universities in 26 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities across China using convenience sampling, to analyze the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:A total of 915 questionnaires were distributed, and 814 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective recovery rate of 88.96% (814/915). The Chinese version of BTMI had a total of 21 items. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total scale was 0.922, and the Cronbach's α coefficients of each dimension were 0.745 to 0.921. The half reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.797, and the retest reliability coefficient of the total scale was 0.903 ( P<0.01). Exploratory factor analysis extracted four common factors, namely social function, risk, incurability, and awkwardness, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 62.29%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that all important fitting indicators were greater than 0.900, indicating a good overall model fit. Conclusions:The Chinese version of BTMI has good reliability and validity, which can be used to evaluate the beliefs of Chinese university students about mental illness.

Objective To observe the value of three-dimensional ultrasound virtual organ computer-aided analysis(VOCAL)technique for measuring choroid plexus volume(CPV)and lateral ventricle volume(LVV)in normal fetus of 11-13+6 gestational weeks.Methods Three-dimensional ultrasonic data of 428 normal singletons at 11-13+6 gestational weeks were retrospectively analyzed.The fetuses were divided into 11-11+6 weeks group(n=77),12-12+6 weeks group(n=225)and 13-13+6 weeks group(n=126).Fetal CPV,LVV and CPV/LVV ratio were measured and calculated using VOCAL technique and compared between groups.Pearson correlation analysis was performed to observe the correlations of CPV,LVV,CPV/LVV ratio with crown-rump length(CRL).Results Significant differences of CPV,LVV and CPV/LVV ratio were found among groups(all P＜0.05).Among 11-11+6 weeks group,12-12+6 weeks group and 13-13+6 weeks group,CPV and LVV increased progressively,while CPV/LVV ratio decreased progressively(all adjusted P＜0.05).During 11-13+6 gestational weeks,CPV and LVV were both highly positively correlated with CRL(r=0.904,0.929,both P＜0.05),while CPV/LVV ratio was highly negatively correlated with CRL(r=-0.893,P＜0.05).Conclusion Three-dimensional ultrasound VOCAL technique was feasible for measuring CPV and LVV in normal fetus of 11-13+6 gestational weeks.

Objective:To explore application value of observed tumor enhancement characteristics by dynamic enhancement magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)in assessing blood supply of small hepatocellular cancer.Methods:The cases data of 80 patients with suspected small hepatocellular cancer who admitted to Yichang Central People's Hospital from January 2019 to January 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.The enhancement characteristics of tumors of all patients were real-timely observed by MRI scanner,which included the relative enhancement degree(RSI),enhancement mode,time-signal intensity curve,etc.The enhanced characteristics of the tumors were recorded,which were combined with a series of variables included disease history,tumor type,tumor size,the number of tumor,liver function status of patients to conduct analysis.The receiver operating characteristics(ROC)curve was adopted to analyze the application value of the observed tumor enhancement characteristics by dynamic enhancement MRI in assessing the status of blood supply of small hepatocellular cancer.Results:There were statistically significant differences in the RSI(F=40.151,P＜0.05),enhancement degree(x2=27.374,P＜0.05),and time-signal intensity curve(x2=20.950,P＜0.05)of dynamic enhanced MRI among different stages of small hepatocellular cancer.The differences in medical history(F=17.844,P＜0.05),tumor type(x2=11.219,P＜0.05),tumor size(x2=14.081,P＜0.05),and the number of tumor(x2=74.310,P＜0.05)among different enhancement degrees of arterial phase were also statistically significant.With the enhancement degree increased,the asymptomatic period increased,and the number of malignant tumors increased,and tumor size increased.The differences in liver function status among different time-signal intensity curves were statistically significant(F=330.182,325.872,216.689,P＜0.05).The area under curve(AUC)value of the ROC of the RSI of observed tumor enhancement characteristics by dynamic enhancement MRI was 0.582(95％CI:0.493-0.670)in assessing blood supply of small hepatocellular cancer.Conclusion:Dynamic enhancement MRI can observe the vascular generation and hemodynamic changes of small hepatocellular cancer,which has a certain application value in assessing blood supply of small hepatocellular cancer,and it can help doctors to choose appropriate treatment plan and assess treatment effect.

Objective To investigate the mechanism and protective effect of Humanin(HN)on rotenone(Rot)-induced toxic damage for dopamine neurons.Methods The Rot-poisened PC12 cell model was constructed,and the control group,the Rot poisening group,the HN pretreated Rot poisening group,and the HN treatment group were set up.ELISA was used to detect the content of HN inside and outside of Rot-infected cells,CCK-8 assay was used to detect cell viability,and ATP detection kit was used to detect the intracellular ATP content.Dichloro-dihydro-fluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA)assay was used to detect the level of reactive oxygen species(ROS)in cells.Western blotting was performed to detect the expression level of mitochondrial autophagy regulatory proteins Pink1,Parkin,p62,LC3,mitochondrial biogenesis regulatory protein PGC1α,division/fusion regulatory proteins OPA1,MFN2,DRP1,p-DRP1 and antioxidant stress regulatory proteins Keap1 and Nrf2.HBAD-mcherry-EGFP-LC3 adenovirus transfected cells was used to observed the number of autophagosomes and autophagolysosomes.Results The results showed that the intracellular concentration of HN in PC12 in the Rot poisening group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05);Compared with the control group,the Rot poisening group had significantly decreased activity of PC12 cells,decreased ATP content and increased production of ROS.After the poisen of Rot in PC12 cells,the expression of Pink1 and p-Parkin,the ratio of LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ and the expression of p-DRP1 in mitochondrial fusion protein was increased,while the expression of p62,the expression of mitochondrial biogenesis protein PGC1 α,mitochondrial fusion proteins MFN2 and OPA1,and antioxidant stress proteins Keap1 and Nrf2 were decreased(all P＜0.05).The number of autophagosomes and autophagolysosomes in PC12 cells in the Rot poisening group was higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05),and HN pretreatment(20 μmol/L)could significantly improve the changes mentioned above caused by Rot poisening(P＜0.05).Conclusion HN ameliorates Rot-induced toxic damage for dopamine neurons by inhibiting mitophagy and mitochondrial division and promoting mitochondrial biogenesis and fusion,and anti-oxidative stress.

Objective:To verify the predictive value of the Second Revision of the International Staging System (R2-ISS) in newly diagnosed patients with multiple myeloma (MM) who underwent first-line autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) in a new drug era in China.Methods:This multicenter retrospective cohort study enrolled patients with newly diagnosed MM from three centers in China (Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital, Capital Medical University; the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University) from June 2008 to June 2018. A total of 401 newly diagnosed patients with MM who were candidates for ASCT were enrolled in this cohort, all received proteasome inhibitor and/or immunomodulator-based induction chemotherapy followed by ASCT. Baseline and follow-up data were collected. The patients were regrouped using R2-ISS. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze the survival curve and two survival curves were compared using the log-rank test. Cox regression analysis were performed to analyze the relationship between risk factors and survival.Results:The median age of the patients was 53 years (range 25-69 years) and 59.5% (240 cases) were men. Newly diagnosed patients with renal impairment accounted for 11.5% (46 cases). According to Revised-International Staging System (R-ISS), 74 patients (18.5 %) were diagnosed with stage Ⅰ, 259 patients (64.6%) with stage Ⅱ, and 68 patients (17.0%) with stage Ⅲ. According to the R2-ISS, the distribution of patients in each group was as follows: 50 patients (12.5%) in stage Ⅰ, 95 patients (23.7%) in stage Ⅱ, 206 patients (51.4%) in stage Ⅲ, and 50 patients (12.5%) in stage Ⅳ. The median follow-up time was 35.9 months (range, 6-119 months). According to the R2-ISS stage, the median PFS in each group was: 75.3 months for stage Ⅰ; 62.0 months for stage Ⅱ, 39.2 months for stage Ⅲ, and 30.3 months for stage Ⅳ; and the median OS was not reached, 86.6 months, 71.6 months, and 38.5 months, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in PFS and OS between different groups (both P<0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that stages Ⅲ and Ⅳ of the R2-ISS were independent prognostic factors for PFS ( HR=2.37, 95% CI 1.30-4.30; HR=4.50, 95% CI 2.35-9.01) and OS ( HR=4.20, 95% CI 1.50-11.80; HR=9.53, 95% CI 3.21-28.29). Conclusions:The R2-ISS has significant predictive value for PFS and OS for transplant-eligible patients with MM in the new drug era. However, the universality of the R2-ISS still needs to be further verified in different populations.

Objective:To explore the efficacy of online pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) management among community-dwelling patients with stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:This study was a single-center randomized controlled trail with an unblinded design. A total of 130 patients with stable COPD who visited Zhuanqiao Community Health Service Center in Shanghai Minhang District from October 2020 to March 2022 were randomly divided into study group and control group with 65 cases in each group. Both groups received conventional treatment, while patients in study group attended online rehabilitation management, including face-to-face rehabilitation instruction and multiple online guidance. Pulmonary ventilation function including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1) and percentage of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced expiratoty volume (FEV 1%pred), modified British Medical Research Council Dyspnea Scale (mMRC), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease assessment test (CAT), score of 6 minutes walking distance (6MWD) and DOSE (dyspnea, degree of airflow obstruction, smoking status, the number of exacerbation) index were measured at baseline and after 8 weeks of rehabilitation, and compared between two groups. Results:The baseline data of the two groups were comparable. After 8 weeks of management, FVC, FEV 1, FEV 1%pred, mMRC, CAT, 6MWD and DOSE index of both groups were improved compared with the baseline level(control group: t=-7.799, -7.581, -9.010, 3.565, 9.887, -16.677, 3.795; study group: t=-12.623, -13.914, -17.644, 7.404, 22.457, -26.826, 7.968; all P<0.05). The FEV 1%pred, CAT and 6MWD in the study group were better than those in the control group ( t=-2.939, 2.277,-2.130, all P<0.05); while there were no significant differences in FVC, FEV 1, mMRC and DOSE index between the two groups( t=-0.162, -1.280, 0.925, 1.939,all P>0.05). Conclusions:The online pulmonary rehabilitation management can better improve lung function, dyspnea symptoms and exercise tolerance of patients with stable COPD, which can be used for rehabilitation training and management of community-dwelling patients.

ObjectiveTo determine the syndrome of a rat model of follicular dysplasia induced by Tripterygium glycosides based on prescriptions and investigate the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine intervention via the adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）/hypoxia-inducible factor-1 （HIF-1）/vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） pathway. MethodForty-eight rats with regular estrous cycles were randomly assigned into a normal group （n=8） and a modeling group （n=40）. The rats in the modeling group were administrated with Tripterygium glycoside suspension （75 mL·kg^-1） by gavage for 30 days. The modeled rats were assigned into model， Siwutang （3.69 g·kg^-1）， Youguiyin （3.11 g·kg^-1）， Zuoguiyin （7.29 g·kg^-1）， and Guishenwan （10.35 g·kg^-1） groups， with 8 rats in each group. The drug intervention lasted for 14 days. The changes of estrous cycle were detected by Pap staining， and a stereoscope was used to observe the morphology of the ovarian tissue. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the pathological changes and follicle count in the ovarian tissue. Enzyme-related immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to measure the levels of follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， and estradiol （E₂） in the serum. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels， respectively， of AMPK， mTOR， HIF-1， and VEGF in the ovarian tissue. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group had a disordered estrous cycle， reduced secondary and mature follicles， increased atretic follicles， elevated FSH and LH levels， lowered E₂ level， up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of AMPK， and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of mTOR， HIF-1， and VEGF （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Guishenwan increased secondary and mature follicles， decreased atretic follicles， lowered the FSH and LH levels， elevated the E₂ level， down-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of AMPK， and up-regulated the mRNA and protein levels of mTOR， HIF-1， and VEGF （P<0.01）. Compared with Guishenwan group， Siwutang， Youguiyin， and Zuoguiyin decreased mature follicles， increased atretic follicles （P<0.01）， elevated the LH （P<0.01） and FSH （P<0.05） levels， and lowered the E₂ level （P<0.05）. In addition， Youguiyin up-regulated the protein level of AMPK （P<0.05） and down-regulated the mRNA levels of mTOR and HIF-1 （P<0.01） as well as the mRNA and protein levels of VEGF （P<0.01）. Siwutang down-regulated the mRNA levels of mTOR and HIF-1 as well as the mRNA and protein levels of VEGF （P<0.05）. Zuoguiyin down-regulated the mRNA level of mTOR and the protein and mRNA levels of VEGF （P<0.05）. ConclusionGuishenwan may improve the ovarian function and promote follicle maturation in a rat model of follicular dysplasia by inhibiting the AMPK/mTOR/HIF-1/VEGF pathway， with the therapeutic effect superior to Zuoguiyin， Youguiyin， and Siwutang. It was hypothesized that this model presented the syndrome of kidney-essence deficiency.

Objective To obtain the monitoring measurement range of quality indicators of red blood cells,plasma and derivatives and leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelets provided by blood stations in Hebei province,explore the distribution of monitoring values and the change of monitoring level,so as to further strengthen the homogenization construction of quality control laboratories in blood stations in Hebei.Methods In 2023,the sampling data of 12 blood stations in Hebei from 2015 to 2022 were collected,scatter plots were made and the range markers were set,and the"mean±SD"line was taken as the upper limit and lower limit of the measurement range.In 2024,the monitoring values in 2023 were added,and the changes of two measurement ranges were compared to analyze the stability and overall level.Results Comparison of the measurement range from 2015 to 2022 and the measurement range from 2015 to 2023 showed that the standard deviation of the content of deleukocyte suspension of red blood cells-hemoglobin,washed erythrocyte-hemoglobin,washed erythrocyte-su-pernatant protein,cryoprecipitate coagulation factor-FⅧ,fresh frozen plasma-FⅧ,leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelets-leukocyte residue and leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelet-red blood cell concentration decreased from 8.132 to 7.993,6.252 to 6.104,0.273 to 0.267,57.506 to 56.276,0.920 to 0.892,0.653 to 0.644 and 2.653 to 2.603,respectively.The narrowing of the standard deviation range of the above items led to more concentrated monitoring values and reduced disper-sion.Comparison of the measurement range from 2015 to 2022 and the measurement range from 2015 to 2023 showed that the mean value of leukocyte residue of the deleukocyte suspension of red blood cells,hemoglobin content of the wash eryth-rocyte,protein content of supernatant of the wash erythrocyte,hemolysis rate of the wash erythrocyte,FⅧ content of the cryoprecipitate coagulation factor,plasma protein content of the fresh frozen plasma,FⅧ content of the fresh frozen plasma,platelet content of the leukocyte-reduced apheresis platelets changed from 0.362 to 0.476,44.915 to 44.861,0.280 to 0.283,0.137 to 0.142,133.989 to 133.271,60.262 to 60.208,1.301 to 1.277 and 3.036 to 3.033,respectively,and was closer to the national standard line,which reflects an increase in the number of unqualified monitoring values or values close to the national standard line in 2023.The long-term qualified rate of coagulation items was low,and no improvement has been ob-served.The stability of biochemical items has been enhanced but overall deviation has occurred,with the average value close to the national standard line.The possibility of subsequent testing failure has increased.The counting items showed no obvi-ous common characteristics.Conclusion The use of"mean±SD"in the analysis can visually display the distribution of mo-nitoring values of different items in Hebei,forming an indicator measurement range covering the past nine years.It shows the characteristics of each item,and provides reference for subsequent quality control laboratory data analysis of each blood sta-tions to takes active measures to improve the monitoring level.
