ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Sufei Pingchuan Formula （肃肺平喘方） in the treatment of bronchiectasis with airflow limitation， phlegm-heat obstructing the lung， and lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled trial was conducted. A total of 72 patients with stable bronchiectasis with airflow limitation of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung and lung-spleen qi deficiency syndrome were randomly divided into treatment group and control group， with 36 cases in each group. On the basis of regular inhalation of tiotropium bromide inhalation spray， the treatment group was given Sufei Pingchuan Formula granules， and the control group was given Sufei Pingchuan Formula granule simulant. The course of treatment in both groups was 12 weeks. The pulmonary function of both groups before and after treatment was observed， specifically focusing on forced expiratory volume in one second （FEV1）； the modified British Medical Research Council （mMRC） dyspnea scale， 24-hour sputum volume， COPD assessment test （CAT）， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome scores were assessed before treatment and after 4， 8， and 12 weeks of treatment； acute exacerbations were recorded at weeks 4， 8， and 12； additionally， changes in routine blood tests， urinalysis， liver and kidney function， and adverse events were monitored before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment， 4 patients in the treatment group and 6 in the control group dropped out. After 12 weeks of treatment， FEV1 increased in both groups compared to pre-treatment levels （P＜0.05）， but the difference between groups was not statistically significant （P＞0.05）. Compared to before treatment， the treatment group showed a reduction in mMRC scores after 12 weeks （P＜0.05） and a decrease in 24-hour sputum volume， CAT scores， and TCM syndrome scores at weeks 4， 8， and 12 （P＜0.05）. In the control group， 24-hour sputum volume decreased after 12 weeks （P＜0.05）， and TCM syndrome scores decreased at weeks 8 and 12 （P＜0.05）. Compared to the control group， the treatment group showed a greater reduction in mMRC scores at week 12 （P＜0.05）， a decrease in 24-hour sputum volume and TCM syndrome scores at weeks 4， 8， and 12 （P＜0.05）， and lower CAT scores at weeks 8 and 12 （P＜0.05）. The frequency and number of acute exacerbations in the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group at week 12 （P＜0.05）. No severe adverse events occurred in either group. ConclusionSufei Pingchuan Formula can improve the pulmonary function FEV1， the severity of dyspnea， reduce 24-hour sputum volume and frequent acute exacerbations， and improve the quality of life in patients with bronchiectasis and airflow limitation， with good safety.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for determining the contents of clopidogrel （CLP）， clopidogrel carboxylate （CLP-C）， clopidogrel acyl-β-D-glucuronide （CLP-G） and contents of clopidogrel active metabolite （CAM） in rat plasma， and to investigate their in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics. METHODS The Shisedo CAPCELL ADME column was used with a mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile （both containing 0.1% formic acid） in a gradient elution. The flow rate was 0.4 mL/min， and the column temperature was maintained at 20 ℃. The injection volume was 2 μL. The analysis was performed in positive ion mode using electrospray ionization with multiple reaction monitoring. The ion pairs for quantitative analysis were m/z 322.1→211.9 （for CLP）， m/z 308.1→197.9 （for CLP-C）， m/z 322.1→154.8 （for CLP-G）， m/z 504.1→154.9 [for racemic CAM derivative （CAMD）]. Six rats were administered a single intragastric dose of CLP （10 mg/kg）. Blood samples were collected before medication and at 0.08， 0.33， 0.66， 1， 2， 4， 6， 10， 23 and 35 hours after medication. The established method was used to detect the serum contents of various components in rats. Pharmacokinetic parameters were then calculated using WinNonlin 6.1 software. RESULTS The linear ranges for CLP， CLP-C and CAMD were 0.08-20.00， 205.00-8 000.00， and 0.04-25.00 ng/mL， respectively （r≥0.990）. The relative standard deviations for both intra-day and inter-day precision tests were all less than 15%， and the relative errors for accuracy ranged from －11.68% to 14.40%. The coefficients of variation for the matrix factors were all less than 15%， meeting the requirements for bioanalytical method validation. The results of the pharmacokinetic study revealed that， following a single intagastric administration of CLP in rats， the exposure to the parent CLP in plasma was extremely low. Both the area under the drug concentration-time curve （AUC0-35 h） and the peak concentration of the parent CLP were lower than those of its metabolites. The AUC0-35 h of the active metabolite CAM was approximately 43 times that of CLP， though it had a shorter half-life （2.53 h）. The inactive metabolite CLP-C exhibited the highest exposure level， but it reached its peak concentration the latest and was eliminated slowly. The AUC0-35 h of CLP-G was about four times that of CAM， and its half-life was similar to that of CLP-C. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully established an liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of CLP and its three metabolites， and revealed their pharmacokinetic characteristics in rats. Specifically， the parent drug CLP was rapidly eliminated， while the inactive metabolites CLP-C and CLP-G exhibited long half-lives， and active metabolite CAM displayed a transient exposure pattern.

Objective: To investigate the effect and mechanism of resveratrol-derived carbonized polymer dots (RSV-CPDs) on macrophage polarization and osteogenic differentiation of human periodontal ligament stem cells (hPDLSCs) under inflammatory conditions, and to provide an experimental basis for the treatment of periodontitis with RSV-CPDs. Methods: RSV-CPDs were prepared by high-temperature pyrolysis of resveratrol (RSV) in the presence of ammonia as a catalyst, and RSV-CPDs were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). CCK8 was used to detect the cytotoxicity of RSV-CPDs. The effects of RSV-CPDs on the apoptosis and cell polarization of macrophages stimulated by Porphyromonas gingivalis-lipopolysaccharide (P.g-LPS) were detected by flow cytometry: ① For the apoptosis detection experiment, the macrophages (RAW264.7) were divided into the control group (no treatment), P.g-LPS group [treated with P.g-LPS (2 μg/mL) for 24 h], RSV group [treated with P.g-LPS (2 μg/mL) + RSV (10 μg/mL) for 24 h], and RSV-CPDs group [treated with P.g-LPS (2 μg/mL) + RSV-CPDs (50 μg/mL) for 24 h]. ② For the cell polarization experiment, the macrophages (RAW264.7) were divided into four groups. They were the control group (no treatment), P.g-LPS + IFN-γ group [P.g-LPS (200 ng/mL) + IFN-γ (20 ng/mL) treated cells for 24 h], RSV group [P.g-LPS (200 ng/mL) + IFN-γ (20 ng/mL) + RSV (10 μg / mL) treated cells for 24 h], RSV-CPDs group [P.g-LPS (200 ng / mL) + IFN-γ (20 ng / mL) + RSV-CPD (50 μg / mL) treated cells for 24 h]. The supernatant of macrophages in the above four groups of cell polarization experiments was collected and mixed with osteogenic induction medium at a 1:1 ratio to culture hPDLSCs. The hPDLSCs were divided into the control group, P.g-LPS + IFN-γ group, RSV group, and RSV-CPDs group. The osteogenic trend of hPDLSCs was detected by alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and alizarin red staining (ARS). Real-time quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) was used to detect the expression of osteogenesis-related genes. Western blot was used to detect the expression of osteogenesis-related proteins in hPDLSCs. Finally, transcriptome tests were used to explore the mechanism of the effect of RSV-CPDs on the phenotype of macrophages (THP-1) stimulated by inflammation. Results: TEM results showed that RSV-CPDs exhibited a uniform spherical structure. FTIR results showed the O-C=O peak of RSV-CPDs. XRD results confirmed that the newly synthesized RSV-CPDs exhibited an amorphous structure. XPS results showed that RSV-CPDs formed a hydrophilic carboxyl group. CCK-8 results showed that RSV had specific toxicity to RAW264.7 when the concentration exceeded 10 μg/mL (P = 0.011), while RSV-CPDs still had good biosafety to cells when the concentration reached 50 μg/mL (P > 0.05). Therefore, the concentration of RSV was 10 μg/mL and RSV-CPDs was 50 μg/mL. The results of flow cytometry showed that RSV-CPDs inhibited the apoptosis of macrophages under inflammatory stimulation (P = 0.008), and the inhibitory effect was better than that of its precursor RSV (P = 0.009). Compared with the P.g-LPS + IFN-γ group, CD86+ cells in the RSV group and RSV-CPDs group decreased by varying degrees (P < 0.001, P = 0.004), while CD206+ cells increased by varying degrees (P = 0.006, P = 0.008), and the proportion of CD206+ cells in the RSV-CPDs group was higher than that in the RSV group (P = 0.010). Compared with the P.g-LPS + IFN-γ group, the supernatant of macrophages treated with RSV-CPDs significantly increased the ALP expression (P = 0.005) and ARS level (P = 0.006) of hPDLSCs. The mRNA expression of osteogenic-related genes RUNX-2, OCN, and COL-1 significantly increased (P < 0.05), and the level of RUNX-2 protein also significantly increased (P = 0.001). Transcriptome results showed that compared with the P.g-LPS + IFN-γ group, the nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) signaling pathway in the RSV-CPDs group showed downward trends. Conclusion RSV-CPDs can inhibit the apoptosis of macrophages in the inflammatory state, promote M2 polarization, and bolster the osteogenic differentiation of hPDLSCs. The mechanism involved may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB and TNF signaling pathways.

Aim To investigate the molecular mecha-nisms of the Wenyang Huazhuo Tongluo formula in in-hibiting endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition(En-doMT)of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells and improving pulmonary microvascular injury in sys-temic sclerosis(SSc).Methods Pulmonary micro-vascular endothelial cells were cultured with serum from SSc patients to establish SSc pulmonary microvas-cular endothelial cells.A hypoxia model was estab-lished in SSc pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells using liquid paraffin sealing,and the cells were treated with the Wenyang Huazhuo Tongluo formula or HIF-1a inhibitor KC7F2.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of VE-cadherin,CD31,vimen-tin,HIF-1α,Foxm1,smad3,Tie-1,and vWF.ELISA was used to measure the concentrations of E-selectin and ICAM-1 in cell culture medium.The luciferase re-porter gene system was used to detect the promoter ac-tivity of the Foxm1 gene.Results Compared to the control group,the levels of VE-cadherin,CD31,HIF-1α,Foxm1,smad3,Tie-1,and vWF significantly de-creased under hypoxic condition,while the levels of vi-mentin,E-selectin,and ICAM-1 significantly in-creased.In addition,the cell morphology exhibited a distinct"spindle-like"myoblast morphology.Treat-ment with the Wenyang Huazhuo Tongluo formula or KC7F2 reversed these changes in protein expression levels and cell morphology induced by hypoxia.Con-clusion The Wenyang Huazhuo Tongluo formula im-proves pulmonary microvascular injury in SSc by inhib-iting the HIF-1a/Foxm1/smad3 pathway-mediated En-doMT of pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells.

Aim To investigate the effect of paeonol(PAE)on cardiac hypertrophy induced by Angio-tensinogen Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)in rats and its mechanism.Methods Forty Sprague-Dawley rats were divided in-to five groups:control group,Ang Ⅱ model group,low concentration paeonol group,middle concentration pae-onol group,high concentration paeonol group.PAE was administered intragastrically(25,50 and 100 mg·kg-1·d-1)for 28 days.The hypertrophic model was established by adding 1 μmol·L-1 Ang Ⅱ to H9c2 cells for 48 hours.Results In Ang Ⅱ-induced rats,PAE improved echocardiography parameters,the cardi-ac hypertrophy index,the mRNA and protein expres-sion levels of ANP and BNP were decreased,and the cardiac fibrosis was alleviated.In vitro,PAE reduced cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and decreased the mRNA and protein expression levels of ANP and BNP in H9c2 cells induced by Ang Ⅱ,at the same time,the expres-sion of endoplasmic reticulum stress marker proteins p-PERK,GRP78,ATF4 and CHOP were decreased and reversed after treatment with the endoplasmic reticulum stress agonist tunicamycin(TN).Conclusion This study suggests that PAE can improve cardiac hypertro-phy by inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress,which may be a new drug to delay the development of cardiac hypertrophy.

Objective This study aims to evaluate the effect of vitamin D supplementation in the earliest stages of pregnancy(12-16 weeks)on the development of preeclampsia(PE)in primiparous women.Methods Primiparous women who visited Maternal and Child Care Center of Qinhuangdao from January 1,2019 to January 31,2022 were recruited as study subjects.According to the random number table method,primiparous women were randomly divided into the control group(calcium carbonate D3 tablets)and the experimental group(calcium carbonate D3 tablets+vitamin D).The main observed outcome of the study was the incidence of preeclampsia.Preterm birth,neonatal birth weight,neonatal height at birth,mode of delivery,and neonatal Apgar scores were the secondary observed outcomes.A Logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between vitamin D supplementation and study outcomes.In addition,serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D was measured by ELISA before and after the intervention.Results A total of 586 primiparas were recruited,70 were lost,and 516 were included(264 in the control group and 252 in the experimental group).The incidences of PE,preterm birth,cesarean birth,and birth weight in the experimental group were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).After the end of the intervention,the serum level of 25 hydroxyvitamin D had increased significantly in both groups(P<0.05),while there was no significant change in calcium ions(P>0.05).Furthermore,serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D levels were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).In addition,the birth length,1-minute Apgar,5-minute Apgar and 10-minute Apgar scores of the experimental group were all higher than the control group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic analysis showed that vitamin D supplementation was the independent protective factor for PE[OR=0.336,95%CI(0.120,0.939),P=0.037],cesarean section[OR=0.539,95%CI(0.364,0.798),P=0.002],misoprostol-induced delivery[OR=0.066,95%CI(0.009,0.504),P=0.009],preterm birth[OR=0.487,95%CI(0.238,0.995),P=0.048]and low birth weight[OR=0.391,95%CI(0.189,0.806,P=0.011].Conclusion Vitamin D supplementation reduces the incidence of PE and reduces the incidence of adverse pregnancy and fetal outcomes.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and treatment of patients with CD4+CD8-T-cell large granular lymphocytic leukemia(T-LGLL).Methods:The clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of 1 case of CD4+CD8-T-LGLL patient were reported,and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results:The patient was a 70-year-old woman with slow clinical progress,mainly manifested by thrombocytopenia and myelodysplasia.The blood smear was mainly composed of large granular lymphocytes.Immunotyping and T-cell receptor gene rearrangement analysis showed that it was in line with T-LGLL.Partial remission(PR)was achieved through the treatment of cyclophosphamide(50 mg/d)combined with prednisone(gradually reduced and stopped later).Conclusion:CD4+CD8-T-LGLL is very rare in clinical practice,and its clinical manifestations are different from those of CD4-CD8+T-LGLL.

The health insurance fund acts as the resource for the survival of medical institutions.However,it has shown a development trend of structural friction in the county.By analyzing the relationship between strategic purchasing and the function of health insurance system,this study clarifies the central position of payment and the roles of fund allocation and service compensation.By analyzing the reasons of the imbalance between the health insurance fund and primary services in the county,this study proposes that the strategic purchasing of health care services in the county needs to take into account both the front-end of payment-allocation,and the front-end of service--primary.On this basis,this study put forwards the strategic purchasing of primary health services,which aims to cut off the fund"competition"channel between hospitals and primary health care institutions by changing the fund distribution method;to guide the primary health care to proactively identify and satisfy the changes of the county's residents'service needs by adjusting the service compensation method;and supplemented with joint advocacy and collaborative supervision.The strategic purchasing of primary health services will gradually promote the development of primary health services in the county from sustainable to high-quality.
