By summarizing the mass spectrometric fragmentation patterns of oxyphenisatin substances,an analytical method was established for screening of illegally added oxyphenisatin compounds in weight-loss health foods using high performance liquid chromatography-in-source-fragmentation-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(HPLC-ISF-QTOF-MS),along with a quantitative method for 11 kinds of oxyphenisatin compounds.Based on the developed screening method,an oxyphenisatin derivative was discovered in the reference standards,which was tentatively identified as 4-(3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxoindolin-3-yl)phenyl acetate and confirmed by MS/MS analysis.The results showed that all 11 kinds of oxyphenisatin compounds had correlation coefficients greater than 0.9971,with limits of detection(LODs)ranging from 0.12 to 0.68 μg/L and limits of quantification(LOQ)from 0.21 to 2.29 μg/L.The LODs for 11 kinds of characteristic ions ranged from 0.45 to 9.11 μg/kg.At spiking levels of 25,50 and 100 μg/kg,the recoveries ranged from 78.9%to 117.3%.The instrumental precision,intra-day method precision and inter-day method precision were 0.23%?1.70%,0.7%?2.4%,and 1.1%?3.3%,respectively.The developed targeted and non-targeted detection method demonstrated high sensitivity,strong stability,rapid analysis,and an expanded screening range for oxyphenisatin substances,and provided robust technical support for regulatory authorities in combating illegal adulteration.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate possible associations between physical function assessment scales, such as Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and Berg Balance Scale (BBS), with all-cause mortality in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients.
METHODS:
A total of 108 ADHF patients were analyzed from October 2020 to October 2022, and followed up to May 2023. The association between baseline clinical characteristics and all-cause mortality was analyzed by univariate Cox regression analysis, while for SPPB and BBS, univariate Cox regression analysis was followed by receiver operating characteristic curves, in which the area under the curve represented their predictive accuracy for all-cause mortality. Incremental predictive values for both physical function assessments were measured by calculating net reclassification index and integrated discrimination improvement scores. Optimal cut-off value for BBS was then identified using restricted cubic spline plots, and survival differences below and above that cut-off were compared using Kaplan-Meier survival curves and the log-rank test. The clinical utility of BBS was measured using decision curve analysis.
RESULTS:
For baseline characteristics, age, female, blood urea nitrogen, as well as statins, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin II receptor blockers, or angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors, were predictive for all-cause mortality for ADHF patients. With respect to SPPB and BBS, higher scores were associated with lower all-cause mortality rates for both assessments; similar area under the curves were measured for both (0.774 for SPPB and 0.776 for BBS). Furthermore, BBS ≤ 36.5 was associated with significantly higher mortality, which was still applicable even adjusting for confounding factors; BBS was also found to have great clinical utility under decision curve analysis.
CONCLUSIONS
BBS or SPPB could be used as tools to assess physical function in ageing ADHF patients, as well as prognosticate on all-cause mortality. Moreover, prioritizing the improvement of balance capabilities of ADHF patients in cardiac rehabilitation regimens could aid in lowering mortality risk.

OBJECTIVE:
To compare clinical effect of anterior tibial plateau fracture line and anterior tibial fenestration reduction in treating anterolateral tibial plateau column fracture combined with posterior lateral column collapse.
METHODS:
Fifty-two patients with Schatzker typeⅡ tibial plateau anterolateral column fracture combined with posterolateral column collapse admitted from January 2016 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups according to fracture reduction methods. There were 27 patients in fracture line group, including 19 males and 8 females, aged from 26 to 62 years old with an average of (43.2±11.4) years old;the time from injury to operation ranged from 4 to 8 days with an average of (5.8±1.5) days;treated with reduction and internal fixation via fracture line of lateral platform front. There were 25 patients in fenestrate group, including 13 males and 12 females, aged from 22 to 69 years old with an average of (40.8±11.1) years old;the time from injury to operation ranged from 4 to 8 days with an average of (6.0±1.4) days;treated with tibial fenestration reduction and internal fixation. The amount of bone graft, operation time, fracture healing time and complications were compared between two groups. Posterior slope angle (PSA) and posterior slope angle of the lateral tibial plateau was compared before surgery, 2 days and 6 months after surgery. The knee function was evaluated by Hospital for Speical Surgery (HSS) at 2 days and 6 months after surgery, respectively. Fracture reduction was evaluated by Rasmussen anatomic score of knee joint.
RESULTS:
Both of group were followed up from 12 to 24 months (16.0±3.4) months. No redisplacement of fracture, internal and external inversion deformity of knee joint, or instability of knee joint were found between two groups during follow-up. In fracture line group, 1 patient occurred wound fat liquefaction and 2 patients occurred lower limb intermuscular venous thrombosis occurred. In fenestration group, 1 patient occurred joint stiffness, 1 patient occurred lower limb intermuscular venous thrombosis, and 1 patient occurred superficial wound infection;there were no significant difference in complications between two groups (P>0.05). Bone graft volume, operative time and fracture healing time in fracture line group were (3.6±2.3) cm3, (123.4±18.2) min and (13.8±1.8) weeks, while in feneplast group were (4.8±1.8) cm3, (135.5±22.5) min and (15.2±2.0) weeks, respectively;the difference between two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05). The collapse depth of lateral platform articular surface at 2 days and 6 months after surgery were (0.8±0.1) and (0.9±0.1) mm in fracture line group, which were lower than those in fenestration group (0.9±0.1) and (1.1±0.1) mm, respectively (P<0.05). After 2 days and 6 months, , PSA in fracture line group were (9.4±1.5) ° and (10.1±1.9) °, respectively, which were lower than those in fenestration group (10.5±1.5) ° and (11.3±1.9) ° (P<0.05). Rasmussen anatomical scores in fracture line group at 2 days and 6 months were 16(16, 18) and 16(14, 16) points, respectively, which were better than those in fenestrated group (16, 16) and 14(14, 16) points (P< 0.05). The collapse depth, PSA and Rasmussen anatomical score between two groups were better than those before surgery (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in HSS score between two groups at 2 days after surgery (P>0.05). At six months after surgery, HSS score in fracture line group (86.7±3.6) was higher than that in fenestration group (84.1±3.91) (P<0.05). HSS score at 6 months after surgery was better than that at 2 days after surgery (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Both anterior tibial plateau fracture line and anterior tibial fenestration could be used to treat anterolateral tibial plateau column fracture with posterior lateral column collapse. Compared with fenestration group, transfracture line group had advantages of less intraoperative bone grafting, shorter operative time, shorter fracture healing time, better articular surface reduction effect and better knee functional recovery.

Objective To analyze the learning curve of Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy. Methods Cumulative sum analysis (CUSUM) was used to analyze the learning curve of Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy performed by the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from February 2018 to December 2020. The learning curve was obtained by fitting, and R2 was used to judge the goodness of fitting. The clinical data of patients in different stages of learning curve were compared and analyzed. Results The first 50 patients who received Da Vinci robotic segmentectomy were included, including 24 males and 26 females, with an average age of 61.9±10.6 years. The operation time decreased gradually with the accumulation of operation patients. The goodness of fitting coefficient reached the maximum value when R2=0.907 (P<0.001), CUSUM (n) =0.009×n3−0.953×n2+24.968×n−7.033 (n was the number of patients). The fitting curve achieved vertex crossing when the number of patients reached 17. Based on this, 50 patients were divided into two stages: a learning and improving stage and a mastering stage. There were statistical differences in the operation time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume, number of lymph node dissection, postoperative catheter time, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications between the two stages (P<0.05). Conclusion It shows that the technical competency for assuring feasible perioperative outcomes can be achieved when the cumulative number of surgical patients reaches 17.
