OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the content determination of 11 components such as protodioscin in Guge fengtong tablets, and to evaluate the comprehensive quality of Guge fengtong tablets by combining with chemometric analysis and entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (EW-TOPSIS) method. METHODS HPLC method was adopted. The determination was performed on Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 column with a mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile- 0.2% phosphoric acid solution at the flow rate of 1.0 mL/min by gradient elution. The column temperature was set at 30 ℃ . The detection wavelengths were set at 203 nm (0-28 min, protodioscin, methyl protodioscin, pseudoprotodioscin, dioscin) and 280 nm (28-60 min, catechin, epicatechin, liquiritigenin, medicarpin, 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol, 10-gingerol); the sample size was 10 μL. Using epicatechin as the internal reference, quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker (QAMS) method was used to determine the contents of protodioscin, methyl protodioscin, pseudoprotodioscin, dioscin, catechin, liquiritigenin, medicarpin, 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol, which were compared with the results of the external standard method. SPSS 26.0 software and SIMCA 14.1 software were used for principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis, with variable importance in projection (VIP) value greater than 1 as the standard, to screen for differential markers that affect the quality; the EW-TOPSIS method was adopted to evaluate the quality of 15 batches of samples comprehensively.RESULTS The contents of protodioscin, methyl protodioscin, pseudoprotodioscin, dioscin, catechin, liquiritigenin, medi-carpin, 6-gingerol, 8-gingerol and 10-gingerol determined by HPLC combined with QAMS were 6.330-10.863, 1.150-2.274, 0.431- 0.740, 2.818-4.823, 0.826-1.510, 0.043-0.094, 0.079-0.231, 0.479-1.020, 0.146-0.288, 0.118-0.318 mg/g, respectively; there were no statistical significances, compared with the external standard method (P>0.05). A total of 15 batches of samples were clustered into 3 groups, with S1-S6, S7-S10, and S11-S15 clustered into one group, respectively. The VIP values of protodioscin, epicatechin, dioscin and 6-gingerol were greater than 1. Euclidean closeness values of the optimal solution (C)i for 15 batches of samples were 0.163 5 to 0.703 7, and Ci values of S11-S15 were all higher than 0.6. CONCLUSIONS The established QAMS method is accurate and simple, and can be used for comprehensive quality evaluation of Guge fengtong tablets, by combining with chemometric analysis and EW-TOPSIS method. Protodioscin, epicatechin, dioscin and 6-gingerol are the differential markers that affect the quality of Guge fengtong tablets. Samples S11-S15 have better quality.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of abdominal adipose volume in predicting early tumor recurrence after resection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 132 HCC patients with tumor diameter ≤5 cm who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from December 2017 to October 2019 were collected. There were 110 males and 22 females, aged (51±4)years. All patients underwent resection of HCC. Preoperative computer tomography scanning was performed and the visceral and subcutaneous fats of patients were quantified using the Mimics Research 21.0 software. Based on time to postoperative tumor recurrence patients were divided to two categories: early recurrence and non-early recurrence. Observation indicators: (1) consistency analy-sis; (2) analysis of factors influencing early tumor recurrence after resection of HCC and construction of prediction model. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the t test. Measurement data with skewed distribu-tion were represented as M( Q1,Q3) or M(range), and comparison between groups was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test. Count data were expressed as absolute numbers, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Consistency analysis was conducted using the intragroup correlation coefficient (ICC) test. Multivariate analysis was performed using the binary Logistic regression model forward method. Independent risk factors influencing early tumor recurrence after resection of HCC were screened. The area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was applied to select the optimal cut-off value to classify high and low risks of recurrence. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to draw survival curve and calculate survival time. The Log-Rank test was used for survival analysis. Results:(1) Consistency analysis. The consistency ICC of abdominal fat parameters of visceral fat volume (VFV), subcutaneous fat volume, visceral fat area, and subcutaneous fat area measured by 2 radiologists were 0.84, 1.00, 0.86, and 0.94, respectively. (2) Analysis of factors influencing early tumor recurr-ence after resection of HCC and construction of prediction model. All 132 patients were followed up after surgery for 662(range, 292-1 111)days. During the follow-up, there were 52 patients with non-early recurrence and 80 patients with early recurrence. Results of multivariate analysis showed that VFV was an independent factor influencing early tumor recurrence after resection of HCC ( odds ratio=4.07, 95% confidence interval as 2.27-7.27, P<0.05). The AUC of ROC curve based on VFV was 0.78 (95% confidence interval as 0.70-0.85), and the sensitivity and specificity were 72.2 % and 77.4 %, respectively. The optimal cut-off value of VFV was 1.255 dm 3, and all 132 patients were divided into the high-risk early postoperative recurrence group of 69 cases with VFV >1.255 dm 3, and the low-risk early postoperative recurrence group of 63 cases with VFV ≤1.255 dm 3. The disease-free survival time of the high-risk early postoperative recurrence group and the low-risk early post-operative recurrence group were 414(193,702)days and 1 047(620,1 219)days, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=31.17, P<0.05). Conclusions:VFV is an independent factor influen-cing early tumor recurrence of HCC after resection. As a quantitative indicator of abdominal fat, it can predict the prognosis of HCC patients.

Objective:To construct an individualized nomogram prediction model for predicting the risk of the occurrence of covert hepatic encephalopathy (CHE) in patients with liver cirrhosis.Methods:325 cases of liver cirrhosis admitted from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Patients were divided into training ( n=213) and validation ( n=112) sets using a cluster randomization method. The risk factors for CHE occurrence in patients with cirrhosis in the training set were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. A prediction model related to the nomogram was established. Results:Independent risk factors for the occurrence of CHE in patients with cirrhosis were a history of hepatic encephalopathy, co-infection, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe ascites, prothrombin time ≥16 seconds, high total bilirubin, and high blood ammonia levels ( P<0.05). Nomogram model validation results: The model had a net benefit for the training and validation sets, with C-indices of 0.830 (95% CI: 0.802-0.858) and 0.807 (95% CI: 0.877-0.837), respectively, within the range of 0-96%. The calibration curves of both sets were evenly close to the ideal curves. The AUCs for the ROC curves in both sets were 0.827 (95% CI: 0.796-0.858) and 0.811 (95% CI: 0.787-0.836), respectively. Conclusion:Patients with cirrhosis have many risk factors for CHE occurrence. The nomogram model constructed based on these risk factors possesses a good predictive value for assessing CHE occurrence in cirrhotic patients.

Objective:To understand the satisfaction evaluation of contracted residents with " Internet plus" family doctor services and to explore its influencing factors.Methods:From November to December 2021, a stratified random sampling method was used to select 360 contracted residents who had utilized " Internet plus" family doctor services from community health service centers or township health clinics in various counties, cities, or districts of a city in Shandong Province for on-site questionnaire surveys. The purpose was to understand their awareness and satisfaction with the " Internet plus" family doctor services. At the same time, key informant interviews were conducted with contracted residents according to the principle of intensity sampling and information saturation, to collect their opinions and suggestions on the implementation process and model construction of " Internet plus" family doctor services. Descriptive analysis was performed on the data, and a binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting the satisfaction of contracted residents with " Internet plus" family doctor services.Results:352 valid questionnaires were obtained. Among the respondents, 108 (30.6%) were very familiar or relatively familiar with the " Internet plus" family doctor service policy, and 251 (71.3%) expressed a high level of satisfaction with the overall " Internet plus" family doctor service. Gender, monthly income status, frequency of participation in health education activities, and satisfaction with the doctor′s daily service attitude, medical technical level, medical service charge level, and the level of communication between the service team and family members were factors affecting the satisfaction of contracted residents with " Internet plus" family doctor services ( P<0.05). Interview results showed that 38 people (95.0%) believed that there were issues with the current implementation of " Internet plus" family doctor services in China, such as the lack of an effective policy support environment, the need to improve the publicity and mobilization effects of contracting institutions, poor service cognition levels among the population, concerns about service quality, misunderstandings about internet-related concepts, network " panic" caused by electronic fraud phenomena, and cultural level differences among the elderly that limited the use of services. Conclusions:The overall satisfaction of contracted residents with the " Internet plus" family doctor services was relatively good. Various factors affected the satisfaction evaluation of contracted residents. It is important to focus on the differences in service psychological perception among contracted residents with different demographic characteristics, strengthen the construction of service teams and service platforms, and improve the public′s cognition and participation in " Internet plus" family doctor services to promote the continuous development of " Internet plus" family doctor services.

Objective:To construct a core competency evaluation index system for emergency trauma specialist nurses.Methods:A research team was established in February 2022 to preliminarily draw up a pool of core competence evaluation indexes for emergency trauma specialist nurses through literature review and group discussion. From April to July 2022, 18 experts were selected and 2 rounds of Delphi expert letters were conducted to determine the content and weight of indexes. The effective recovery rate of questionnaires was used to reflect the positive degree of experts. Expert authority coefficient was adopted to reflect expert authority. Coefficient of variation and Kendall's harmony coefficient were used to reflect the degree of expert opinion coordination. The analytic hierarchy process was used to calculate the index weight.Results:The effective recovery rates were 88.89% and 100.00%, respectively. The expert authority coefficients were 0.947 and 0.960 respectively. After the second round of expert consultation, the variation coefficients of primary, secondary and tertiary indexes were 0-0.134, 0-0.141 and 0-0.184, respectively. The Kendall's harmony coefficients of primary, secondary and tertiary indexes were 0.204, 0.209 and 0.167, respectively (all P<0.01). Finally, the core competency evaluation index system for emergency trauma specialist nurses consisted of 6 first-level indexes, 23 second-level indexes and 80 third-level indexes. Conclusions:The core competency evaluation index system for emergency trauma specialist nurses is scientific and reliable, which can provide references for optimizing the training, development and assessment of emergency trauma specialist nurses.

Objective:To explore the incidence of non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) in children with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and the correlation between triiodothyronine level and the severity of T1DM, thus providing evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods:A total of 125 children initially diagnosed as T1DM at the Department of Endocrinology and Genetic Metabolism of Children′s Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2015 to December 2019 were recruited.The data were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of NTIS in T1DM children was explored.T1DM children were classified into euthyroid group and NTIS group, two independent sample t-test were used to compare the differences in multiple factors between euthyroid group and NTIS group in children with T1DM, and Spearman correlation analysis was used to further analyze the correlation between the levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3), total triiodothyronine (TT3) and the severity of children with primary T1DM. Results:The incidence of NTIS in 125 T1DM children was 26.4%(33/125 cases). FT3, TT3, total thyroxine (TT4), thyrotropin (TSH), pH value, HCO 3- and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels in NTIS group were significantly lower than those of euthyroid group [(3.10±0.45) pmol/L vs.(4.85±0.75) pmol/L, (0.60±0.28) nmol/L vs.(1.05±0.38) nmol/L, (65.77±23.41) nmol/L vs.(89.57±18.23) nmol/L, (0.91±0.89) mIU/L vs.(2.05±0.76) mIU/L, 7.21±0.17 vs.7.31±0.18, (11.49±7.54) mmol/L vs.(16.80±8.38) mmol/L, (1.08±0.49) mmol/L vs.(1.28±0.44) mmol/L]( t=4.56, 5.67, 4.48, 5.61, 2.82, 2.68, and 2.53, all P<0.05). Moreover, the anion gap (AG) level, blood glucose (BG) and triglyceride in NTIS group were significantly higher than those of euthyroid group [(22.53±8.33) mmol/L vs.(16.94±7.52) mmol/L, (24.85±4.71) mmol/L vs.(21.46±6.64) mmol/L, (2.72±2.05) mmol/L vs.(2.33±3.05) mmol/L]( t=3.22, 2.67 and 2.04, all P<0.05). The incidence of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) was statistically significant in euthyroid group, NTIS group and abnormal thyroid disease group (33.3% vs.63.6% vs.35.7%)( χ2=8.990, P<0.05). In T1DM children, FT3 was positively correlated with pH value and HCO 3-, and negatively correlated with AG level ( r=0.376 9, 0.439 7 and -0.411 9, all P<0.05). In addition, TT3 was positively correlated with pH value and HCO 3-, and negatively correlated with AG and BG ( r=0.513 2, 0.539 8, -0.482 4 and -0.211 5, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Children with T1DM are prone to have abnormal thyroid hormone levels, and the incidence of NTIS was 26.4%.The incidence of DKA differed in T1DM children with different thyroid functions.FT3 or TT3 level may contribute to evaluate the disease severity of T1DM children.

Objective:
To investigate the benzene concentration in the workplace of benzene-related enterprises in Yangzhou City from 2014 to 2018, and the abnormal blood routine of workers exposed to benzene, and to assess their occupational hazards.
Methods:
The environmental monitoring data of benzene-related enterprises and the health examination data of benzene exposed workers were collected in March 2019. The inhalation risk assessment model of the National Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was used to assess the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks of benzene workers.
Results:
The qualified rate of benzene detection in the workplace was 100% from 2014 to 2018, the highest concentration was 1.42 mg/m3 in five years. The abnormal rates of blood routine detection in benzene exposed workers in five years was 7.10% (213/2 998) 、5.17% (218/4 214) 、5.61% (196/3 493) 、7.65% (288/3 767) 、7.83% (280/3 574) and 7.83%. respectively. The results of risk assessment showed that the minimum carcinogenic risk value was 7.56×10-6 and the maximum carcinogenic risk value was 31.33×10-6 in 2014-2018. The hazard quotient values were than 1.
Conclusion
Benzene monitoring concentration in benzene-related enterprises in Yangzhou City from 2014 to 2018 was low, which meets the occupational exposure limit in China. However, the abnormal rate of blood routine in five years is still high, and there are both carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks. We should pay more attention to the health risk of workers exposed to low concentrat in benzene.
