ObjectiveBased on modern analytical techniques and a depressed mouse model established by chronic unpredictable mild stress（CUMS）， to evaluate the quality marker（Q-Marker） and pharmacodynamic difference of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by different processes. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） was used to establish the characteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang， and determine the content of Q-Marker in the samples prepared by ancient and modern processes. Seventy C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal group， model group， fluoxetine group（3 mg·kg^-1）， low and high dose groups of ancient process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， and low and high dose groups of modern process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal group， CUMS was used to induce depression in mice from the other groups for 28 d. After successful modeling， administration groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage every day， and the normal and model groups were given an equal volume of pure water by gavage for 21 consecutive days. Change in body mass of mice was recorded， tail suspension test and open field test were used to evaluate the depressive behavior of mice， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was employed to determine the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin（IL）-1β and IL-6 in serum. ResultsCharacteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes were established， the similarity between the two was 0.951， and 8 characteristic peaks were recognized with the reference peak of regaloside A. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the Q-Marker content was similar in Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by ancient and modern processes. The results of pharmacodynamics showed that， compared with the normal group， the model group showed increased immobility time in the tail suspension test， reduced total movement distance in the open field test， and elevated IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the serum（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the behavioral indicators of mice in the Baihe Dihuangtang treatment group were significantly improved in terms of tail suspension time and open field exercise， and the levels of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes both had antidepressant effects， and the difference between the two was not statistically significant in improving depressive symptoms. ConclusionQ-Marker of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by modern and ancient methods are equivalent in content， and the pharmacological effects are consistent， indicating that dried Lilii Bulbus can replace fresh products in the preparation of Baihe Dihuangtang. This study provides a scientific basis for the development of new drugs of Baihe Dihuangtang and a reference for its rational application and clinical use.

Objective To explore the impact of suture configuration and fixation type on the biome-chanical strength of rotator cuff repair,using a factorial design study.Methods Sixteen fresh-frozen porcine shoulder samples were randomized into an anchorless double-row suture bridge transosseous su-tures(DS)group,an anchored double-row suture bridge transosseous-equivalent(DE)group,an an-chorless X-BOX construct transosseous sutures(XS)group,and an anchored X-BOX construct transos-seous-equivalent(XE)group,each of four,according to suture configuration(double-row suture bridge,traditional X-BOX construct)and fixation type(suture anchors,transosseous sutures).Then,their fatigue resistance(first-cycle excursion,gap length difference ratio,and the percentage of ex-posed footprints)and the failure strength(the maximum failure load and the re-tear type)were mea-sured using a biomechanical material testing machine.Results Different suture configurations affected failure strength(F=39.559,P<0.001),with the double-row suture bridge groups(693.07±58.35 N,746.76±138.57 N)showing significantly higher failure strength,compared to the traditional X-BOX groups(462.90±18.91 N,421.43±90.76 N).However,the fixation type did not significantly im-pact failure strength(F=1.161,P=0.302).Moreover,the suture configuration influenced the gap differ-ence ratio(F=7.781,P=0.016),but had no significant correlation with other fatigue resistance indica-tors(P>0.05).Meanwhile,failure strength and fatigue resistance were not correlated with fixation type,and the interaction between suture and fixation type(P>0.05).The incidence of failure types for the four suture configurations was as follows:Type I tendon tear:XS>XE>DS=DE;type II tendon tear:DS>XE>XS=DE;fixing material-related failure:DE>DS=XE=XS.Conclusion The failure strength and gap formation ratio in rotator cuff repair under fatigue loading are influenced by suture configuration,whereas no significant association has been observed with respect to fixation method,whether using transosseous sutures or suture anchors.

Baihe Dihuangtang is a famous classical formula that has been respected by physicians in the past and is still used today. It was first recorded in ZHANG Zhongjing's Synopsis of the Golden Chamber， and is composed of Lilii Bulbus and Rehmanniae Radix juice. This paper systematically reviewed the research progress of historical evolution， pharmacological activities and clinical applications of Baihe Dihuangtang in recent years， and found that there was no major changes in the composition， decoction method and indications of this formula since the Han dynasty. According to the herbal textual research， the fleshy scaly leaves of Lilium brownii var. viridulum should be selected for Lilii Bulbus in this formula， and the tuberous roots of Rehmannia glutinosa were selected for Rehmanniae Radix. According to the dosage conversion of ancient and modern times， the dosage is 245 g of fresh Lilii Bulbus and 400 g of fresh Rehmanniae Radix， and the ratio of their juice is 1∶1. Its efficacy is to nourish Yin and clear heat， and to tonify the heart and lungs， which is used to treat the heart and lung Yin deficiency syndrome of lily disease. Modern pharmacological studies have shown that the research on the pharmacological effects of Baihe Dihuangtang mainly focuses on anti-depressant， anti-anxiety， improving insomnia and regulating metabolism， and it is mostly used clinically for neurological disorders such as depression， anxiety and insomnia. The quality marker（Q-Marker） of Baihe Dihuangtang were predicted according to the principles of ingredient specificity， component validity， component measurability， formula compatibility， and quality transmissibility and traceability， and it was determined that catalpol， rhmannioside D， regaloside A， regaloside B， regaloside C， and acteoside could be selected as potential Q-Markers of Baihe Dihuangtang， which could provide scientific reference for the establishment of the quality control system and the development of compound preparation of this famous classical formula.

In order to achieve the purpose of rapid detection of duck astrovirus type 1(DAstV-1),specific primers were designed based on the conservative region of ORF1a which belonged to DAstV-1(WF1202 strain).A real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR(qPCR)detective method for DAstV-1 was established.Clinical samples were detected by the qPCR method and the positive samples were used for virus isolation and identification.Results showed that the detection limit of the established method was 4.64×103 copies/μL,which was 10 times higher than the normal RT-PCR method.In addition,no cross-reactions were found with other common infectious disease pathogens in poultry,indicating that the qPCR method had good specificity.What's more,the coef-ficient of variations(Cv)in intra-and inter-assays were 0.85％-2.85％and 0.21％-2.94％,re-spectively,both less than 3％,indicating that the qPCR method had a good repeatability.Using this method,35 tissue samples from different duck farms in 10 provinces from 2020 to 2022 were detected for DAstV-1.Results showed that the positive rate was 25.71％(9/35),and the coinci-dence rate was 94.29％when compared with the normal RT-PCR method.A positive sample ran-domly taken for the virus isolation through duck embryo passage,and the allantoic fluid was col-lected and then was verified by the qPCR method and inoculated with 1-day-old healthy ducklings for the animal regression experiment.The infected ducklings suffered from transient disease but did not die.The liver tissues were all positive with DAstV-1 when detected by qPCR.Meanwhile,autopsy showed that there were slight changes in the livers,and the histopathological observation showed that the liver cells were steatosis.These findings indicated that the isolated DAstV-1 strain had weak pathogenicity and might be a low virulent strain.To sum up,the qPCR detection method of DAstV-1 was successfully established in this work,and could provide technical support for clini-cal diagnosis,isolation and identification,and molecular epidemiology monitoring of DAstV-1.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) combined with blood glucose at admission for a positive blood culture for sepsis.Methods:A single-center retrospective cohort study was conducted. According to the 2016 American Society of Critical Care/European Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM/ESICM) and diagnostic criteria for sepsis and septic shock-3.0 (sepsis-3.0), patients with sepsis were admitted to the Emergency Department of Fujian Medical University Union Hospital for more than 24 h from January 2019 to December 2021 were enrolled. Age, gender, sequential organ failure assessment, source of infection, NLR, and blood culture results were recorded. Based on the blood culture results, patients were divided into a blood culture positive group (Gram-positive group, Gram-negative group) and blood culture negative group, and the differences between the groups were compared. The risk factors for a positive blood culture were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. A receiver operating characteristic analysis was performed for the NLR combined with the blood glucose measurement.Results:A total of 265 patients with sepsis were included, of which 62 were positive in blood culture (15 Gram-positive patients, 37 Gram-negative patients and 10 fungal patients). The positive rate of blood culture was 23.4%. The number of patients with history of diabetes, neutrophil count, procalcitonin, blood glucose, and NLR in the positive blood culture group were significantly higher than those in the negative blood culture group (all P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that random admission blood glucose ( OR=1.116, 95% CI: 1.051~1.186, P<0.001) and NLR ( OR=1.039, 95% CI: 1.015~1.064, P=0.001) were independent risk factors for blood culture positivity in sepsis patients. For patients with blood culture positive, and with Gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections, the AUC of the NLR combined with the admission blood glucose level was 0.819 (95% CI: 0.761-0.877, P<0.001) and 0.871 (95% CI: 0.813-0.928, P<0.001), respectively. Conclusions:The combination of NLR and random admission blood glucose could provide a good predictive value for blood culture positive and gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections in sepsis patients.

In order to achieve rapid detection of duck hepatitis A virus type 3(DHAV-3),this ex-periment initially performed prokaryotic expression of the non-structural protein 3D of DHAV-3,followed by immunization of BALB/c mice with the purified protein.After immunization,mouse spleen cells were fused with myeloma cells(SP2/0)to prepare monoclonal antibodies.Subsequent-ly,a double-antibody sandwich ELISA(DAS-ELISA)detection method was established using the monoclonal antibodies,and its sensitivity,specificity,and repeatability were evaluated.Finally,the established method was applied to the detection of clinical samples and validated for compliance with the RT-PCR method.The results showed that the DHAV-3 3D protein was efficiently ex-pressed in BL21(DE3),and its specificity was confirmed by Western blot after purification.After cell fusion and three rounds of subcloning,six hybridoma cells were successfully screened and named 1A3,1B6,1C7,1D9,2A1,and 3A9.The subtype identification of the antibodies showed that 1A3 belonged to IgG2b,1B6 belonged to IgG2a,3A9 belonged to IgG3,and 1C7,1D9,and 2A1 be-longed to IgG1.After screening,the high-affinity monoclonal antibodies 1B6 and 1 A3 were selected as the capture antibody and detection antibody,respectively,and use to establish the DAS-ELISA detection method.After optimizing the reaction conditions,the optimal coating concentration of the capture antibody 1B6 was determined to be 1×10-3 g/L,and the optimal dilution of the detection antibody 1A3 was 1∶1 000.The cut-off value was established as 0.256.The sensitivity test showed that the method had a minimum detection limit of 4.0 ×10-4 g/L for the 3D protein.The repeat-ability test showed that the within-batch and between-batch coefficients of variation were both less than 9％,indicating good repeatability.The specificity test showed that the method did not show specific reactions with duck adenovirus(DAdV),muscovy duck parvovirus(MDPV),duck circo-virus(DuCV),duck plague virus(DPV),duck reovirus(DRV),or Riemerella anatipestifer(RA),but cross-reacted with Duck hepatitis a virus type 1(DHAV-1),allowing simultaneous de-tection of DHAV-3 and DHAV-1 pathogens.The DAS-ELISA method established in this experi-ment was compared with the RT-PCR method for the detection of 186 clinical samples,and the DAS-ELISA method could simultaneously identify DHAV-1 and DHAV-3,with a compliance rate of 98.9％compared to the RT-PCR method.In conclusion,the established DAS-ELISA method showed good repeatability and high sensitivity,and can be used for the diagnosis of DHAV-1 and DHAV-3,providing technical support for the epidemiological investigation and prevention of Duck Hepatitis A.
