For the first time, an intriguing phenomenon was observed in which diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) was converted into diisopropyl hydrazine-1,2-dicarboxylate (DIHD) during gas chromatography (GC) analysis. Subsequently, a GC method with pre-column derivatization was developed and validated for the determination of residual DIAD, using triphenylphosphine (TPP) as the derivatization reagent. The method was performed on a gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector (FID), using direct injection, an Agilent DB-5 capillary column, and a programmed temperature profile. Method validation demonstrated a good linear response for DIAD in the range of 1.057-10.57 µg/mL, with a detection limit of 0.528 µg/mL and a quantification limit of 1.057 µg/mL. The established method allows DIAD and DIHD to be determined collectively as a single analyte, both of which may be introduced during the manufacturing process. It exhibits high accuracy, sensitivity, excellent repeatability and stability, as well as a simple and rapid derivatization procedure. This method is expected to be applicable as a general approach for detecting DIAD and its structural analogues.

Objective:To analyze the liver histological characteristics and clinically related factors in inactive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers (IHC), and also explore whether antiviral treatment is necessary for IHC, as defined in the 2022 version of the hepatitis B prevention and treatment guidelines.Methods:A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was conducted. Two hundred and thirty-one IHC cases who underwent liver biopsy histopathological examination in nine medical institutions, including Beijing Youan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University, from January 2018 to December 2023 were included. General informative data, clinical serological markers, and transient elastography (TE) examination results were collected. Patients were divided into a positive (148 cases) and a negative group (83 cases) according to the results of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA detection. The differences in liver pathological inflammatory activity (G) and liver fibrosis stage (S) were analyzed between the two groups to explore the correlation between liver tissue conditions and clinically related factors. Comparsions of normally distributed continwous data, skeukd continuous data, and categorical data between groups are performed using t tests, Mann-Whitney U tests and χ2 tests, respectively. Results:The age of 231 IHC cases was 43 (38, 51) years old, with 95.2% (220/231) aged ≥30 years, and males accounted for 64.9% (150/231). HBsAg and HBV DNA levels were 131.9 (20.8, 400.9) IU/mL and 94.0 (0, 448.5) IU/mL, respectively, of which 35.9% (83/231) were HBV DNA negative (<20 IU/mL). The remarkable proportions of G≥2, S≥2, and liver injury (G≥2 and/or S≥2) in liver tissue were 16.5% (38/231), 29% (67/231), and 35.9% (83/231), respectively. The S≥2 proportion was significantly higher in the HBV DNA-negative group than the positive group (42.2% vs. 21.6%, P<0.001), and it mainly occurred in the population cohort over 30 years old (44.9% vs. 31.0%, P=0.04). The liver stiffness measurement (LSM), aspartate transaminase to platelet ratio index (APRI), and platelet (PLT) were significantly higher in the S≥2 group than the S<2 group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Clinicians can comprehensively evaluate the degree of liver fibrosis in IHC based on clinical factors such as age, PLT, APRI, and LSM, even if the liver histological results are lacking. The China 2022 version guidelines define that nearly half of IHC has histological indications for antiviral therapy, and liver biopsy and prompt treatment can be recommended.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of hemorrhoidal artery ligation combined with ultrasonic knife resection,suture,ligature and suspension in the treatment of mixed hemorrhoids with annular prolapse.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted to select 80 patients with annular prolapse mixed hemorrhoids admitted to the anorectal Department of our hospital from January 2022 to April 2023.According to different treatment plans,they were divided into control group(n=40 cases)who received external stripping and internal ligation combined with tape ligation,and study group(n=40 cases)who received hemorrhoidal artery ligation combined with ultrasonic knife resection,suture,ligation and suspension.The operative effect,operative status,postoperative anal pain,anal edema,stool blood score and quality of life were evaluated.Results The effective rate of the study group was 97.50％,which was higher than that of the control group(77.50％)(P＜0.05).The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,hospital stay and wound healing time of the research group were(25.03±10.00)minutes,(10.00±5.32)ml,(7.25±1.54)days and(12.21±2.00)days respectively.[is better than that of control group(29.85±14.00)minutes,ml(17.85±10.25),(11.87±2.35),(18.89±4.85)days],two groups of comparison,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The VAS scores of anal pain in the study group on 1 day,3 days and 7 days after the operation were(4.25±0.85)points,(2.89±0.54)points and(2.00±0.30)points,respectively.The scores of perianal edema were(1.87±0.36)points,(1.41±0.30)points,and(1.00±0.20)points,respectively.The hematochezia scores were(1.85±0.21)points,(1.34±0.18)points,and(0.85±0.13)points,respectively.Which were better than that of control group[(7.56±1.10),(6.54±1.03),(4.87±1.00)][(2.40±0.58),(2.03±0.49),(1.87±0.45)][(2.45±0.55),(2.03±0.47),(1.88±0.25)],and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).The recurrence rate was 2.50％in the study group and 17.50％in the control group(P＜0.05).The scores of SF,MH,PF and GH of the Modified Health Survey Summary Form(SF-36)in the study group were(88.54±10.22,87.87±10.58,88.97±10.00,89.95±10.05)higher than those of the control group(67.52±10.00,70.10±11.25,71.10±9.85,70.00±10.00)(P＜0.05).Conclusion Hemorrhoidal artery ligation combined with ultrasonic knife resection,suture,ligature and suspension in the treatment of patients with annular prolapse mixed hemorrhoids has ideal surgical effect and little trauma,which is beneficial to promoting postoperative rehabilitation,alleviating anal pain,improving anal edema and hematostoecium,and improving quality of life.
