The quality of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) prescriptions (TCMPs) is critical to clinical efficacy; however, evaluating their consistency and identifying sources of variability remain challenging. This study proposes an integrated strategy to assess the quality of 100 widely sold TCMPs. A "one-for-all" chromatographic method was employed to analyze 645 sample batches. This large-scale data collection enabled statistical evaluations, such as hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and similarity heatmap, to identify quality inconsistencies. The introduction of a TCM-specific mass spectrometry (MS) database allowed for rapid, automated annotation of chemicals across 100 prescriptions and facilitated the tracing of raw material sources. Results indicate that 19% of prescriptions exhibited chemical inconsistencies, which are associated with high market value, low pricing, and substantial price disparities. The MS database allowed rapid annotation of 761 and 673 compounds in positive and negative modes, respectively, in 100 TCMPs, with 73 prescriptions reported for the first time. The tracing efforts succeeded in identifying >40% of the raw material sources for 51 prescriptions. P93 (Yinianjin (YNJ)) is a case in which the chromatographic profiles from three manufacturers displayed inconsistencies. Analysis using the database traced divergent peaks to Rhei Radix et R hizoma (RRER). Verification with self-prepared samples confirmed that manufacturers utilized three distinct botanical sources. This integrated strategy provides a scalable framework for quality control in TCMPs.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic effect of femoral resection on patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh with cortical bone involvement.Methods:This retrospective study included patients with soft tissue sarcoma of the thigh diagnosed and treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2014 to December 2021. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether femoral resection and reconstruction were performed with 20 in the resection group and 86 in the non-resection group. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to control confounding variables. Overall Survival, recurrence free survival, metastasis free survival, and postoperative functional outcomes were compared between groups before and after PSM. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to identify risk factors for death, recurrence, and metastasis.Results:Before PSM, the 5-year overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were 46.7% and 36.7% in the resection group, compared to 69.7% and 60.3% in the non-resection group without significant differences ( P>0.05). However, the 5-year metastasis-free survival (MFS) rate was significantly lower in the resection group (40.0%) compared to the non-resection group (73.1%) ( P=0.021). After PSM, the 5-year OS, RFS, and MFS in the resection group were 46.7%, 36.7%, and 35.9%, respectively, compared to 45.0%, 39.4%, and 67.7% in the non-resection group, with no significant differences ( P>0.05). The median postoperative MSTS functional score after PSM was significantly lower in the resection group 23(18, 25) points than in the non-resection group 26.5(24.3, 27.8) points ( U=43.000, P=0.007). Multivariate Cox regression analysis identified grade III histology ( HR=3.794, P=0.002) and tumor involvement angle around the femur greater than 180° ( HR=2.729, P=0.030) as independent risk factors for death. Age over 55 years ( HR=4.185, P=0.015), tumor diameter greater than 8 cm ( HR=4.290, P=0.014), and involvement of the intermuscular compartment ( HR=3.794, P=0.017) were associated with increased risk of local recurrence. Grade III histology ( HR=3.848, P=0.006) and involvement of the intermuscular compartment ( HR=2.500, P=0.045) were associated with distant metastasis. Conclusion:For patients with thigh soft tissue sarcoma involving femoral cortex involvement but no medullary cavity invasion, bone resection did not improve survival, recurrence or metastasis compared with patients in non-resection group. A relatively more conservative surgical approach may be advisable to preserve limb function without compromising oncological prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the application effect of problem-based learning (PBL) combined with scenario simulation in nursing teaching of needlestick injuries.Methods:A total of 123 undergraduates majoring in nursing were selected as research subjects from the classes of 2020 and 2021 in a medical university. The 60 undergraduates in the class of 2020 were established as control group and were given PBL teaching, and the 63 undergraduates in the class of 2021 were established as experimental group and were given PBL combined with scenario simulation. The two groups were compared in terms of theoretical score, skill examination score, and knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) score of needlestick injury knowledge. SPSS 25.0 was used to perform the t-test, the chi-square test, and the rank sum test. Results:Compared with the control group, the experimental group had significantly higher scores of theoretical examination [(84.43±5.03) vs. (80.30±4.81), P<0.001] and skill examination [(88.40±4.26) vs. (83.55±5.84), P<0.001], as well as significantly higher scores of knowledge [(14.46±1.03) vs. (13.18±1.23), P<0.001], attitude [(52.59±3.09) vs. (48.05±3.06), P<0.001], and practice [(67.37±4.28) vs. (62.17±3.92), P<0.001] in KAP questionnaire. Conclusions:PBL combined with scenario simulation teaching can effectively improve the knowledge of protection against needlestick injuries and related skills in nursing students, enhance their awareness of needlestick injuries, and promote the protective behavior against needlestick injuries.

Objective To analyze the incidence of low birth weight among single live birth neonates and identify the influencing factors in Shaanxi province.Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among the childbearing aged women selected through multi stage stratified random sampling in Shaanxi during 2010-2013, all of these childbearing aged women were in pregnancy or had definite pregnancy outcomes.Results A total of 28 164 childbearing aged women and their infants were investigated.The overall incidence of low birth weight among the single live birth neonates surveyed was 3.4% during 2010-2013 (4.1% in 2010, 4.4% in 2011,3.1% in 2012, 2.6% in 2013, respectively).The incidence of the low birth weight was 3.8% in southern Shaanxi, 3.4% in northem Shaanxi and 3.2% in central area of Shaanxi.The incidence of the low birth weight was 2.5% in urban area and 3.6% in rural area.Compared with the low birth weight incidence of 2.6% in full-term infant, the low birth weight incidence was 32.0% in preterm infants.The results of logistic regression analysis suggested that being female infant (OR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.36-1.81) , preterm delivery (OR =18.28, 95% CI: 15.23-21.96), lower educational level of mothers (OR =1.27, 95% CI:1.06-1.52), antenatal care times <4 (compared with 4-7,OR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.14-1.63) ,antenatal care times ≥8 (compared with 4-7, OR=1.84, 95% Ch 1.48-2.29), gestational hypertension (OR=3.07, 95% CI: 2.12-4.43) , being multipara (OR=1.21,95% CI: 1.03-1.41) , taking no folic acid during pregnancy (OR=1.30, 95% CI: 1.12-1.52) were risk factors for the low birth weight of neonate.Conclusion The incidence of low birth weight among single live birth neonates was in decline in Shaanxi.The incidence of the low birth weight was higher in rural area than in urban area.The incidence of the low birth weight was lower than national level.Being female neonate, preterm delivery, lower education level of mothers, irregular antenatal care, gestational hypertension, being multipara, taking no folic acid during pregnancy were the risk factors for low birth weight of neonates.
