Objective To evaluate the relationship between preoperative prognostic nutritional index(PNI),controlling nutritional status(CONUT)and Naples prognostic score(NPS)and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of patients with radical resection of hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods The clinicopathological data of 122 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent radical resection in the first affiliated hospital of university of science and technology of China from January 2016 to December 2019 were retrospec-tively analyzed,and the relationship between preoperative PNI,CONUT and NPS and the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis was analyzed.The survival curve was drawn by Kaplan-Meier method.Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors of the overall survival of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)was used to compare the predictive value of each scoring system.Results Preoperative PNI was related to the tumor differentiation,microvascular invasion(MVI),cirrhosis and preoperative hemoglobin level(P<0.05).The preoperative CONUT was related to the tumor differentiation,cirrhosis and preoperative hemoglobin level(P<0.05).The preoperative NPS was related to the cirrhosis and preoperative hemoglobin level(P<0.05).The low PNI group,high CONUT group and high NPS group had longer postoperative hospital stay and higher postoperative complications rate compared with the high PNI group,low CONUT group and low NPS group,respectively,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Cox proportional-hazards regression model showed that preoperative PNI,CONUT and NPS were associated with the prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(P<0.05);However,only preoperative NPS was the independent risk factor for prognosis of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma(P<0.05).The ROC curve results showed that the AUC of NPS was higher than those of PNI and CONUT.Conclusion preoperative PNI,CONUT and NPS are all related to the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma patients undergoing radical resection,and the predictive value of preoperative NPS is higher than preoperative PNI and CONUT.

Objective To study the contents of puerarin in decoction with different compatibility ratios of Astragali Radix and Puerariae Lobatae Radix; To verify the rationality of compatibility ratios of Huangqi Gegen Decoction and Yu y e Decoction; To provide references for clinical medication. Methods Different compatibility ratios of Astragali Radix and Puerariae Lobatae Radix were set as 0:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4. SinoChrom ODS-BP (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) was used as the chromatographic column to detect the contents of puerarin;methanol-0.1% phosphoric acid (35:65) was used as the mobile phase with 0.5 mL/min flow rate; sample volume was 20 μL; the wavelength was 250 nm. Results The regression equation of puerarin was Y=66 449.269 1X-175 665.663 1 (r=0.999 6) in the range of 5 to 300 μg/mL, showing a good linear relationship. The repeatability, stability and recovery rate were fine as well. The contents of puerarin were (2.506 7±0.025 8)%, (2.526 7±0.071 2)%, (2.863 3± 0.086 4)%, (2.956 7±0.119 6)%, (2.835 0±0.078 7)%, (2.480 0±0.072 4)%, (2.530 0±0.064 8)%, and (2.183 3±0.128 9)% in different compatibility ratios of Astragali Radix and Puerariae Lobatae Radix with 0:1, 1:1, 2:1, 3:1, 4:1, 1:2, 1:3, and 1:4, respectively. Conclusion When the compatibility ratios of Astragali Radix and Puerariae Lobatae Radix are 2:1. 3:1, and 4:1, the contents of puerarin in decoction are the highest. This study verifies that the compatibility ratios of Astragali Radix and Puerariae Lobatae Radix in classical prescriptions are rational, which can be the optimal compatibility ratios in clinic.
