ObjectiveTo explore the effects of angle and original moisture content on the moisture distribution， migration and contents of effective components in the drying process of sliced Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma（SMRR）. MethodsSet the slicing angles of SMRR at 30°， 45°， and 90°. Cut the fresh samples， 1/3 dehydrated samples， and 2/3 dehydrated samples， dry them in an oven at 40 ℃ and take samples at the set time points. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance（LF-NMR） and magnetic resonance imaging（MRI） were used to analyze the changes in transverse relaxation time（T₂） of SMRR samples in 9 treatment groups at specific times， as well as the distribution and migration of water in the samples. The contents of tanshinone Ⅱ_A， tanshinone Ⅰ， cryptotanshinone， and salvianolic acid B in samples from 9 different treatment groups were determined by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）， and the best processing technology of SMRR was screened by combining with One-way ANOVA， Duncan multiple comparison and principal component analysis（PCA）. ResultsThe moisture content of dry basis of SMRR in each treatment group decreased with the extension of drying time. The drying rate of fresh cut group decreased slowly at first， while the drying rate of water loss group showed a trend of increasing at first and then decreasing. The internal water of SMRR could be divided into three states， including bound water， non flowing water and free water. During the drying process， the water migration law showed that the free water of fresh cut group disappeared after drying for 12 h， the content of bound water gradually decreased， and the overall fluidity deteriorated. In the water loss group， part of the free water was transformed into more cohesive and non flowing water after drying for 3 h， and the three kinds of water basically disappeared after drying for 12 h. The MRI results showed that the entire dehydration process slowly moved from the outer side to the center， and the internal water eventually dissipated. In terms of the contents of active ingredients， the order of the effect of slicing angle on the total content of active ingredients in SMRR was 30°>45°>90°. The content of tanshinones was ranked as 1/3 dehydrated group>2/3 dehydrated group>fresh cut group， and the content of salvianolic acid B was ranked as 1/3 dehydrated group>fresh cut group>2/3 dehydrated group. Combined with the results of PCA and comprehensive scoring results， the overall level of effective component content in SMRR was the highest when cut at 30° after 1/3 of water loss. ConclusionAfter comprehensive evaluation， SMRR can be sliced at 30° after 1/3 of water loss. It is not only easy to cut， but also the surface and cross-sectional colors remain basically unchanged after drying， which is similar to the color under traditional processing， and the effective ingredients are preserved the highest. This study can provide a basis for the optimization of processing technology of SMRR.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of rhizosphere organic acids secreted by the roots of Salvia miltiorrhiza on continuous cropping obstacles. MethodsThe mixed solution of organic acids in the rhizosphere of S. miltiorrhiza in continuous cropping and rotation cropping was added to the hairy roots subcultured for 21 days， and samples were collected on days 0， 2， 4， 6， 8， and 10. The changes of biomass， effective components， primary metabolites， secondary metabolites， antioxidant enzymes， and hormones in hairy roots of S. miltiorrhiza were observed and determined. ResultsCompared with the rotation cropping group and the blank control group， the simulation of organic acid secretion from the roots of S. miltiorrhiza had a significant inhibitory effect on the growth of hairy roots and decreased the content of effective components as well as total sugar and total protein in primary metabolites. Compared with the blank control group， the rotation cropping group and the continuous cropping group showed total sugar and total protein content decreases of 33.9% and 5.1%， respectively. On the other hand， the secretion of organic acids from S. miltiorrhiza roots significantly promoted the accumulation of total phenolic acids and total tanshinone， which showed increases of 14.6% and 1.6%， respectively， in continuous cropping group and rotation cropping group compared with the blank control group. ConclusionThe organic acid environment under continuous cropping significantly inhibited the growth of hairy roots and the accumulation of primary metabolites， while promoting the synthesis and accumulation of secondary metabolites of S. miltiorrhiza.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of serum cytokine expression in the hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg)sero-clearance in patients with severe hepatitis B.Methods A nested case-control trial was conducted on 14 inpatients with severe hepatitis B admitted in our hospital from 2006 to 2020.Of them,7 patients(aged 36.57±3.15 years)achieved HBsAg sero-clearance within 1 year after the onset of hepatitis B flares(with abrupt rise of ALT level to＞5 times the upper limit of normal during HBV infection)and were assigned into HBsAg clearance group,while the other 7 patients(aged 34.14±2.97 years)only obtained HBsAg decreased less than 1 g within 1 year after the onset(HBsAg non-clearance group).Then,multiplex liquid-chip assay based on Luminex xMAP was used to detect the expression levels of 48 cytokines such as IFN-γ and IL-2 in serum samples of these 14 patients.Results The serum levels IFN-γ,IL-2Ra and SDF-1α were significantly lower in the HBsAg clearance group than the HBsAg non-clearance group(P＜0.05),but no statistical differences were observed in other 39 cytokines between the 2 groups.And there were 5 cytokines having no mutual expression in both groups.The copy number of HBV DNA was positively correlated with serum HGF(r=0.675,P=0.008)and SDF-1α levels(r=0.587,P=0.027),while negatively with IP-10(r=-0.600,P=0.023)and MIG level(r=-0.640,P=0.014).Meanwhile,a positive correlation was found between HBsAg titer and IL12-p70 level(r=0.593,P=0.025),and a negative correlation between HBsAg titer and TNF-α level(r=-0.609,P=0.021).In addition,the serum total bilirubin level was positively correlated with the expression of SCGF-β(r=0.543,P=0.045).Conclusion Three differentially expressed cytokines and some cytokines related to HBV DNA level and HBsAg titer are found,which may provide new insights into the underlying immunological mechanism of HBV virus clearance caused by hepatitis flares.Meanwhile,it also provides potential biomarkers for HBsAg serological clearance in patients with severe hepatitis B.

Objective:To explore the clinical effects of free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps in repairing diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) under a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) cooperation model.Methods:The study was a retrospective observational study. From June 2018 to December 2022, 49 DFU patients who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Hand and Foot Microscopy and Wound Repair Surgery of Henan Provincial People's Hospital (People's Hospital of Zhengzhou University), including 28 males and 21 females, aged from 47 to 68 years, with type 2 diabetes history period ranging from 6 months to 21 years. Under a MDT cooperation model, the physicians from department of endocrinology comprehensively assessed the patients, stabilized the patients' general condition, and controlled their complications, the surgeons from department of vascular surgery assessed and improved the patients' lower limb blood supply, the physicians from department of infectious diseases provided anti-infection treatment plans, the physicians from department of anesthesiology and perioperative medicine assessed the patients' perioperative risk and ensured their perioperative safety, and according to the patients' condition, the physicians from departments such as cardiology, neurology, nutrition, and rehabilitation actively and timely participated in the treatment. The surgeons from department of hand and foot microscopy and wound repair surgery prepared the wound base and used free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps to repair the wounds. After once or multiple debridement in the first stage, the wound area ranged from 5.0 cm×4.5 cm to 17.0 cm×10.0 cm. After once or twice vacuum sealing drainage treatment, the free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps were used to repair the wounds with incision area of 6 cm×5 cm to 18 cm×11 cm in the second stage. The descending branches of lateral circumflex femoral artery and the accompanying veins of flaps were anastomosed to the arteries and veins in the recipient sites, respectively. The wounds in the flap donor sites were sutured directly. After surgery, whether the patient's perioperative period was stable, the survival of flaps, the healing of wounds in the flap donor and recipient sites were observed. During the follow-up, the texture and appearance of flaps, whether there was a new ulcer, and the patient's walking ability were observed.Results:All the patients had stable perioperative period. Among them, the flaps in 46 patients survived successfully; the flaps in 2 patients developed complete necrosis, including 1 case whose ulcer was healed after repair of pedicled flap from the lower leg, and 1 case who underwent amputation of the lower leg; the flap in 1 patient developed partial necrosis, which was healed after dressing change and skin grafting. The wounds in the flap donor and recipient sites healed well. During the postoperative follow-up of 6-24 months, the flaps had good texture and appearance with no new ulcers, and the patients had no obvious impairment in daily walk.Conclusions:The MDT cooperation model can sufficiently ensure the perioperative safety of DFU patients. The free anterolateral thigh perforator flaps can repair the DFU wounds achieving good clinical effects with high flap survival rate and decreased amputation rate.

To accurately capture and effectively integrate the spatiotemporal features of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals for the purpose of improving the accuracy of EEG-based emotion recognition, this paper proposes a new method combining independent component analysis-recurrence plot with an improved EfficientNet version 2 (EfficientNetV2). First, independent component analysis is used to extract independent components containing spatial information from key channels of the EEG signals. These components are then converted into two-dimensional images using recurrence plot to better extract emotional features from the temporal information. Finally, the two-dimensional images are input into an improved EfficientNetV2, which incorporates a global attention mechanism and a triplet attention mechanism, and the emotion classification is output by the fully connected layer. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, this study conducts comparative experiments, channel selection experiments and ablation experiments based on the Shanghai Jiao Tong University Emotion Electroencephalogram Dataset (SEED). The results demonstrate that the average recognition accuracy of our method is 96.77%, which is significantly superior to existing methods, offering a novel perspective for research on EEG-based emotion recognition.

Objective To observe the effects of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome differentiation quadruple therapy on serum thromboxane A2 (TXA2), prostacyclin (PGI2) and platelet activating factor (PAF) levels in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Methods Ninety patients with AP admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of TCM from January 2016 to March 2017, and they were divided into an observation group and a control group according to the random numbers generated by computer inpatients, 45 cases in each group. The control group was given routine treatment of western medicine, and the observation group was given TCM syndrome differentiation quadruple therapy according to the patient's disease individual situation and on the basis of western medicine treatment. The TCM syndrome differentiation quadruple therapy included the following methods: intragastric administration of TCM decoction [gastrointestinal excess heat syndrome (rhubarb, sodium sulfate, aurantii fructus immaturus, magnolia bark, etc.), damp heat syndrome of liver and gallbladder (radix bupleuri, aurantii fructus immaturus, baical skullcap root, rhubarb, etc.), each group of above agents immersed in water and decocted to make juice 400 mL, once 100 mL taken orally, every 4 hours]; retention enema with TCM decoction [rhubarb, magnolia bark, aurantii fructus immaturus, sodium sulfate (dissolved) etc, each dose of agents forming decoction 400 mL, 200 mL taken for proctoclysis, once every 6 hours]; Chinese medicine package (boswellin, myrrha, dandelion, coptidis rhizoma and so on crushed and mixed with honey, then applied to the body surface of the pancreas and its periphery, 1 dose each time for 4 hours, once a day ); intravenous drip of blood-activating and stasis-resolving TCM (Dengzhanhuasu injection 100 mg added to 5% glucose solution 250 mL for intravenous drip). The times of disappearance of abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and the recovery times of bowel sound, blood amylase, lipase, C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cell count (WBC) levels to normal were compared between the two groups; the modified CT severity index (MCTSI) score and the changes of serum TXA2, PAF and PGI2 levels were observed before and after treatment in the two groups. Results The abdominal pain and abdominal distension disappearance times in observation group were shorter than those in control group [abdominal pain (days): 5.07±1.88 vs. 6.02±1.89, abdominal distension (days): 3.50±1.49 vs. 4.40±1.53, both P < 0.05]; the recovery times of bowel sounds, WBC, CRP, amylase and lipase to normal were shorter than those of the control group [bowel sounds (days): 4.05±1.79 vs. 5.00±1.55, WBC (days): 3.93±1.49 vs. 5.98±2.90, CRP (days): 6.17±2.46 vs. 7.92±2.84, blood amylase (days): 3.5 (3.0, 5.0) vs. 5.0 (3.0, 5.5), lipase (days): 5.0 (3.0, 7.0) vs. 6.5 (5.0, 9.0), all P <0.05]; the scores of MCTSI in the two groups were lower than those before treatment and the degree of decrease in the observation group was more significant than that in the control group [2 (0, 4) vs. 4 (0, 6), P < 0.05]. The TXA2 and PAF levels of the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment and the level of PGI2 was significantly higher than that before treatment; after treatment for 3 days, the differences between the two groups showed statistical significance and on the 7th day after treatment, the degrees of improvement in observation group were more obvious than those of the control group [TXA2 (ng/L): 276.81±31.48 vs. 345.42±47.27, PAF (ng/L): 72.65±17.61 vs. 89.77±15.59, PGI2 (ng/L): 104.43±18.67 vs. 94.37±17.91, all P < 0.05]; on the 14th day after treatment, the values of the two groups were very close and there were no statistically significant differences (all P >0.05). Conclusions The TCM differentiation syndrome quadruple therapy for treatment of AP is beneficial to the disappearance of clinical symptoms of patients with different syndromes, recovery of abnormal signs and improvement of laboratory indexes, and its early use can significantly reduce the serum levels of TXA2, PAF and increase the level of PGI2 in patients with AP.

Objective To analyze the influential factors of clinical pregnancy rate of the frozen-thawed embryo transplantation. Methods The data of 3 192 FET patients in the reproductive medicine center of our hospital up to May 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. According to ages, reasons of infertility, types of infertility, duration of infertility, drug regimen, the number and the time of embryo transplantation, we divided these patients into six groups for comparing the clinical pregnancy rate. Results The FET clinical pregnancy rate of the under 35 years group was higher than the 35~39 years group and the over 39 years group (33.96%vs. 27.58%and 19.35%; P<0.05, respectively). The duration of infertility in the clinical pregnancy group was significantly shorter than the non-pregnancy group (P<0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate in the group with three embryos transplanted was higher than the group with only two embryos transplanted (41.01% vs. 28.75%; P < 0.05). Among the group with the age of over 40 years, those with three embryos transplanted had a higher clinical pregnancy rate than those with only one embryo transplanted (25.49% vs. 0.00%; P < 0.05). The clinical pregnancy rate of the frozen blastocyst transplantation group was higher than that of the cleavage-stage transplantation group (40.00%vs. 26.27%;P<0.05). Conclusion Age, infertility duration, the number and the time of frozen embryo transplantation may affect the clinical pregnancy rate among the FET patients. An individualized transplantation program based on age may improve the patient′s clinical pregnancy rate.
