Objective To establish an analytical method for the determination of methanol and ethanol solvent residues in amidoxime EN chelating agents by headspace gas chromatography.Methods The samples were analyzed in a GC-2030 gas chromatograph system using a Shimadzu HS-20 fully automated headspace injector and quantified by an internal standard method.The samples were separated and detected by the DB-WAX capillary column with a flame ionization detector(FID).The thermostatic furnace temperature was 70 ℃ and the equilibrium time of the sample bottle was 30 min.The sample flow path temperature was 150℃ and the carrier gas was high pure nitrogen.As temperature programming,the initial column temperature of 40 ℃ lasted 9 min and increased to 200 ℃ at 40 ℃/min for 2 min.Results The peak areas of the residual solvents in EN chelator showed good linearity(R2＞0.999)in the mass concentration range investigated,the detection limits of solvent methanol and ethanol were 0.25 μg/mL and 0.30 μg/mL respectively,and the limits of quantification were 1.25 μg/mL and 1.50 μg/mL,respectively.The recovery of residual solvent addition ranged from 97.10％to 102.23％,and the RSD value was less than 5.00％.Conclusion This method is sensitive enough to be used for the determination of solvent residues in amidoxime EN chelating agents.

In the context of global climate change, the impact of ambient temperature change on cardiovascular health has become increasingly significant. Epidemiological studies have shown that both high and low temperature can lead to the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. For example, exposure to low temperature and high temperature, and diurnal temperature difference can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) mortality. Exposure to cold and heat, heatwaves and cold spells may induce myocardial infarction. Low temperature, high temperature and variations in temperature can increase the risk of heart failure. There are complex interactions among the effects of temperature and humidity, wind speed, radiation, precipitation and air pollution on adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Valnerable groups such as the elderly, patients with chronic diseases, and outdoor workers are particularly susceptible to temperature-related CVD risks. The mechanisms by which temperature affects adverse cardiovascular outcomes involves hemodynamic changes, autonomic nervous system dysregulation, blood rheology alterations, as well as inflammation and metabolic abnormalities, but many research gaps remain. Future studies should conduct in-depth research on mechanisms, individual differences, climate change impacts, and public health interventions to provide more effective policies and interventions to reduce the burden of CVD.

Objective:To explore the mediating effect of dyadic coping between perceived social support and family cohesion and adaptability and happiness in spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments.Methods:From December 2023 to May 2024, a total of 366 spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments who received treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were recruited as study participants. Data were collected using the general information, perceived social support scale, dyadic coping inventory, Chinese version of the family cohesion and adaptability scale(FACESⅡ-CV), and memorial University of Newfoundland scale of happiness. The AMOS 21.0 software was utilized to construct a structural equation model to examine the mediating effect of dyadic coping between perceived social support, family cohesion and adaptability and happiness.Results:The spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments reported overall scores for perceived social support (62.80±12.80), dyadic coping (117.07±20.78), family cohesion and adaptability (115.96±19.51), and happiness (22.27±7.29). Family cohesion and adaptability was positively correlated with dyadic coping and perceived social support ( r=0.614, 0.520, both P<0.01).Spousal happiness was positively correlated with dyadic coping and perceived social support ( r=0.296, 0.202, both P<0.01).The spouses recognized that perceived social support had a positive correlation with dyadic coping ( r=0.479, P<0.01).Dyadic coping played a partial mediating effect between perceived social support and family cohesion and adaptability as well as happiness, accounting for 32.41% (0.211/0.651) and 44.39% (0.190/0.428) of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion:Dyadic coping is the mediating variable of family cohesion, adaptability and happiness of spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments. Medical staff should try to construct a dyadic coping intervention plan to improve the dyadic coping level of spouses of patients with post-stroke motor impairments, so as to improve their family happiness index.

AIM:To investigate the effect of Bushen formulae(BHF)on bone metabolism and its possible mechanism in ovariectomized rats with high salt intake.METHODS:According to the random number table method,80 SPF-grade Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into sham group,ovariectomy(OVX)group,medium-high-salt diet(MSD)group,high-salt diet(HSD)group,BHF group,BHF with normal saline(BHF+NS)group,BHF+MSD group,and BHF+ HSD group,with 10 rats in each group.After modeling,different diets and BHF formula interventions were administered,and the concentrations of sodium chloride added to MSD group and HSD group were 2%(w/w)and 8%(w/w),respective-ly.The dose of BHF was 7.8 g·kg-1·d-1,once a day,and the treatment lasted for 12 weeks.Bone density,bone microar-chitecture,bone parameters,bone metabolism biomarkers,bone histopathological changes,the expression of epithelial sodium channel α(ENaCα),Na-Cl cotransporter(NCC),and voltage-gated chloride channel 3(ClC-3)proteins in bone tissue were detected in each group.RESULTS:Compared with sham group,the rats in OVX group had reduced bone density and destroyed bone microstructure.Compared with OVX group,the bone microstructure in MSD and HSD groups was more significantly damaged,while the levels of bone formation markers,bone glycoprotein(BGP)and type Ⅰ procolla-gen N-terminal peptide(PINP),were significantly increased in HSD group(P<0.05).Moreover,the levels of bone re-sorption markers,such as amino-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type Ⅰ collagen(NTX),carboxy-terminal cross-linked telopeptides of type Ⅰ collagen(CTX)and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase(TRACP),were significantly in-creased(P<0.05),indicating that bone metabolism was in high-conversion state.High-salt diet accelerated the structural destruction of bone trabeculae,and Western blot results showed that high-salt diet caused decreases in the protein expres-sion levels of ENaCα and ClC-3 and an increase in the protein expression level of NCC in femoral tissues(P<0.05).After BHF intervention,the expression of relevant ion channels caused by high salt could be regulated to different degrees.CONCLUSION:Bushen formulae could differentially regulate the expression of relevant ion channels ENaCα,ClC-3,and NCC induced by high salt to different degrees,which has certain ameliorative and therapeutic effects on the imbalance of bone metabolism.

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a global health problem that causes major illnesses and disabilities worldwide. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that the prevalence of AR has increased progressively over the last few decades in more developed countries and currently affects up to 40% of the population worldwide. Likewise, a rising trend of AR has also been observed over the last 2–3 decades in developing countries including China, with the prevalence of AR varying widely in these countries. A survey of self-reported AR over a 6-year period in the general Chinese adult population reported that the standardized prevalence of adult AR increased from 11.1% in 2005 to 17.6% in 2011. An increasing number of original articles and imporclinical trials on the epidemiology, pathophysiologic mechanisms, diagnosis, management and comorbidities of AR in Chinese subjects have been published in international peer-reviewed journals over the past 2 decades, and substantially added to our understanding of this disease as a global problem. Although guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in Chinese subjects have also been published, they have not been translated into English and therefore not generally accessible for reference to non-Chinese speaking international medical communities. Moreover, methods for the diagnosis and treatment of AR in China have not been standardized entirely and some patients are still treated according to regional preferences. Thus, the present guidelines have been developed by the Chinese Society of Allergy to be accessible to both national and international medical communities involved in the management of AR patients. These guidelines have been prepared in line with existing international guidelines to provide evidence-based recommendations for the diagnosis and management of AR in China.
