ObjectiveTo establish a high-performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） for the quantitative analysis of multiple components in Gegen Qinlian tablets， and to comprehensively evaluate the quality of samples from different manufacturers by integrating chemical pattern recognition and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution（TOPSIS）， in order to provide a reference basis for quality evaluation and control of Gegen Qinlian tablets. MethodsHPLC was employed to determine the contents of 10 components in 28 batches of Gegen Qinlian tablets collected from 6 manufacturers， and taking the detection results as variables， SIMCA 14.1 and SPSS 26.0 were employed for cluster analysis（CA）， principal component analysis（PCA）， and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） to identify key components affecting the quality. Then， TOPSIS analysis was employed to rank the quality of Gegen Qinlian tablets from the 6 manufacturers and establish a comprehensive quality evaluation method. ResultsA quantitative method for Gegen Qinlian tablets was established. After methodological validation， the method was found to be stable and reliable， and could be used for the quantitative analysis of this preparation. The contents of 3′-hydroxy puerarin， puerarin， 3′-methoxy puerarin， daidzein， coptisine hydrochloride， epiberberine， jatrorrhizine hydrochloride， berberine hydrochloride， palmatine hydrochloride and baicalin in 28 batches of samples were 3.58-7.35， 24.88-42.32， 4.20-9.36， 4.33-7.60， 2.52-6.44， 0.93-4.10， 0.58-3.05， 10.68-22.92， 0.82-4.82， 11.73-60.16 mg·g^-1， respectively. Among them， puerarin， berberine hydrochloride and baicalin all met the limit requirements for this preparation specified in the 2025 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. CA and PCA clustered the 28 batches of samples into 5 categories， PCA extracted 2 principal components with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 90.588%， and OPLS-DA screened out 4 differential markers with variable importance in the projection（VIP） values>1.0， namely baicalin， 3′-hydroxy puerarin， coptisine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride， which might be the main components affecting the quality of Gegen Qinlian tablets. TOPSIS analysis showed that the comprehensive score of each evaluation index（C_i） values of different manufacturers were different. Among them， the C_i of manufacturer B was ranked higher， indicating potentially superior quality， while the C_i of manufacturer A was ranked lower， suggesting potentially inferior quality. ConclusionThis study establishes a quantitative method for Gegen Qinlian tablets， and the content uniformity of the same manufacturer is good， while there are differences in the contents of active components among different manufacturers. Through the chemical pattern recognition analysis， it is found that the content differences of Gegen Qinlian tablets may be related to baicalin， 3′-hydroxy puerarin， coptisine hydrochloride and palmatine hydrochloride.

ObjectiveTo compare the differences in fungal community composition between lesional and non-lesional scalp areas in patients suffering from severe alopecia areata （AA）， and compare these with healthy scalp areas in control subjects. Additionally， to preliminarily explore the changes in scalp fungal communities in severe AA patients and their potential underlying immunological mechanisms. MethodsA total of 20 severe AA patients and 18 healthy controls were enrolled. Skin swab samples were collected from lesional and non-lesional scalp areas of severe AA patients， as well as from the normal scalp of healthy controls. The fungal internal transcribed spacer （ITS） region was amplified and analyzed using high-throughput sequencing. ResultsThe lesional scalp areas of severe AA patients exhibited higher α-diversity and species richness in fungal communities. Notably， the relative abundance of Ascomycota， along with genera such as Mycosphaerella， Aspergillus， Penicillium， and Wallemia， significantly increased in the bald regions. In contrast， Acremonium and Schizophyllum were more predominant in the non-lesional areas of severe AA patients. ConclusionDistinct region-specific differences in scalp fungal microbiota in severe AA patients suggests that fungal dysbiosis may play a potential role in the pathogenesis of alopecia areata. These findings provide new insights into the disease characteristics of severe AA from the perspective of scalp microecology.

BACKGROUND:During bone tissue healing,promoting the vascularization of new bone is a common strategy to accelerate the repair of bone tissue.However,the rapid fibrosis process during bone defect repair is often ignored.OBJECTIVE:To design and prepare a core-shell structure bionic scaffold to regulate the process of fibrosis and vascularization in new callus,characterize physical characteristics of the scaffold,and verify the anti-fibrosis and osteogenic properties in vitro and in vivo.METHODS:A core-shell structure bionic scaffold to regulate the process of fibrosis and vascularization in new callus was designed and prepared.The outer shell structure of the scaffold was composed of polycaprolactone electrospun nanofibers loaded with fibroblast activating protein inhibitor;and the inner core structure was composed of gelatin methacrylate hydrogel loaded with deferoxamine.The physical characteristics of electrospun and hydrogel were characterized,and the biocompatibility of the material was verified by live-dead staining and CCK-8 assay.The antifibrotic effect of core-shell structure was analyzed by fibroblast in vitro assay.The osteogenic effect of fibroblast activating protein inhibitor in core-shell structure was analyzed by MC3T3-E1 cells in vitro assay.The vasogenic effect of deferoxamine in core-shell structure was analyzed by human umbilical vein endothelial cells.The effect of bionic core-shell scaffold on bone repair was evaluated by critical bone defect test in rats.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The core-shell structure bionic scaffold had good biocompatibility.Hydrophobic polycaprolactone electrospun fibers prepared by electrospinning technology could effectively block the ingrowth of exogenous fibrous tissue on the physical level.The electrospun fiber membrane could effectively release the anti-fibrosis drug fibroblast activating protein inhibitor within 2 weeks,and the released anti-fibrosis drug could inhibit the growth and adhesion of fibroblasts around bone defects,effectively reduced the expression of fibroblast-related proteins,promoted the expression of osteoblast protein in MC3T3-E1 cells,and accelerated its mineralization rate.The deferoxamine in the core-shell structure could promote the migration and vascular formation ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells,and promoted their strong expression of"H"vascular characteristic protein.(2)In critical bone defect model of SD rats established in the femur,compared with polycaprolactone membrane,the core-shell structure bionic scaffold could effectively repair bone defects.(3)These findings indicate that the core-shell structure bionic scaffold can prevent excessive fibrosis of callus and promote the formation of"H"vessels in the new callus,which can effectively avoid the occurrence of nonunion and accelerate the repair process of critical bone defect.

To comprehend the genetic evolutionary characteristics and biological properties of the H4N1 subtype avian influenza virus(AIV)in China,this study conducted whole genome sequen-cing,genetic evolutionary analysis,and pathogenicity test in BALB/c mice of a duck-derived H4N1 subtype AIV strain(DK/GX/E1424/20)isolated from the live poultry market in the southern re-gion in 2020.The results indicated that the cleavage site motif of the HA protein was PEKASR/GLF,which conformed to the characteristics of low pathogenic AIV.All the eight gene fragments were situated in the Eurasian lineage,and the homology of AIV-related genes of the H1N1,H3N8,H4N6,H6N1,and H10N8 subtypes isolated from wild waterfowl was the highest,representing a recombinant virus strain.Without prior adaptation,it replicated effectively in the lungs and turbi-nates of mice,with viral titers of 3.00 and 2.08 log10EID50/mL respectively,and induced weight loss in infected mice.This study suggested that this virus had significant genetic diversity and low pathogenicity in mice,posing a potential risk for mammalian infection.

This study aims to investigate the isolate and identify of infectious bronchitis virus(IBV)in chickens,and study its genetic variation and pathogenicity.In 2023,two strains named CK/CH/HN/SQ202301 and CK/CH/HN/SQ202302 were obtained from suspected infectious bronchitis(IB)infected materials collected in a region of Henan Province,China.Further analysis showed that the two isolates belong to the G Ⅰ-13 and GⅥ genotypes,respectively.The cleavage sites of S protein were all RRSRR.The prediction of glycosylation sites showed that the two isolates had 18 and 12 N-glycosylation sites respectively,but no O-glycosylation site.Recombinant analysis shows that C2023-1 was a recombinant strain.Pathogenicity was assessed by infecting 1-day-old SPF chicks with the two isolates,and the results showed that C2023-1 strain infection could cause clini-cal symptoms such as depression and head shaking,as well as death in chicks,with a mortality rate of 37.5％.There were no clinical symptoms or deaths after infection with C2023-2 strain.Viral load test results showed that both isolates continued to detoxify until the 10th day,and had strong rep-lication capacity in the kidney,trachea and bursa of Fabricius.The results indicate significant differences in the genetic characteristics and pathogenicity of the two isolates due to their different genotypes.This study not only provides new epidemiological data on IB,which contributes to a bet-ter understanding of IBV's epidemiological features and control challenges,but also adds valuable bioinformatics resources for IBV by analyzing its variation mechanisms and biological information.
