ObjectiveTo establish a qualitative and quantitative analysis method for chemical constituents in Liu Junzitang(LJZT), and to clarify its material basis. MethodThe chemical constituents in LJZT were analyzed by ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS), and the resulting compounds were identified by using databases, such as MassBank, PubChem, ChemSpider, Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analytical Platform(TCMSP), and by combining with relevant literature. UPLC was used to establish a quantitative method for analysis of 9 compounds in LJZT, including liquiritin, hesperidin, lobetyolin, liquiritigenin, glycyrrhizic acid, nobiletin, tangeretin, atractylenolide Ⅱ and Ⅰ. ResultBy combining the relevant literature, database and MS information, a total of 79 compounds were identified from LJZT, including 31 flavonoids, 15 terpenoids, 14 nitrogen-containing compounds, 6 phenylpropanoids, 6 organic acids and 7 other compounds. The established quantitative analytical method for the nine representative components showed good linearity within their respective linear ranges, and the precision, stability, reproducibility and recovery were in accordance with the requirements. The quantitative results showed that the contents of liquiritin, hesperidin, lobetyolin, liquiritigenin, glycyrrhizic acid, nobiletin, tangeretin, atractylenolide Ⅱ and Ⅰ in LJZT were 0.376 5, 2.602 1, 0.082 6, 0.128 1, 1.778 6, 0.015 7, 0.006 7, 0.030 4, 0.003 2 mg·g-1, respectively. ConclusionThe established method can quickly, sensitively and accurately analyze the chemical constituents in LJZT, clarify that the material basis of LJZT is mainly flavonoids, terpenoids and nitrogen-containing compounds, and simultaneously determine the contents of the 9 components, which can lay a foundation for the research on quality control, mechanism and clinical application of LJZT.

In recent years, the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has significantly increased, leading to various adverse outcomes for mothers and their offspring. Early diagnosis and good blood glucose control can significantly improve pregnancy outcomes. Currently, the diagnosis of GDM mainly relies on the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), but there are many limitations in clinical application. The new biological marker glycosylated CD59 is a glycosylation product of complement regulatory proteins that can stably exist in body fluids and is linearly related to blood glucose levels, which has the advantages of simple testing and good reproducibility, and has been developed into a stable reagent kit. It has shown good value in the early diagnosis, standard diagnosis, and prediction of pregnancy outcomes of GDM.

Objective:
To understand the development trend of poor vision among primary students through cross sectional, surveillance and longitudinal analysis, so as to put forward some suggestions on adolescents growth and health.
Methods:
Visual data of 3 753 pupils were inclucled for analysis from Gui an New Distinct, Guizhou Province in autumn semester 2021, and were compared with data collected during the year of 2016-2021. The curve, increment and contribution rate of poor vision from each grade of the three designs were contrasted.
Results:
In 2021, poor vision rate among pupils in this town was 25.6%. The curve of poor vision rate in cross sectional data was U shaped with significant rise followed by decline which was different from monitoring and longitudinal tracking data, and the trend of poor vision rate of monitoring and longitudinal tracking data were linear with continued increases. The cross sectional data in 2021 showed that the highest contribution rate of poor vision rate of pupils was in grade 1(87.0% ), while other data showed that those were both in grade 4(45.0%, 33.9%).
Conclusion
The accuracy of the development trend of poor vision is lowest in cross sectional analysis and highest in longitudinal analysis. However, data acquisition and preservation is easy in cross sectional study and difficult in longitudinal study. It is necessary to improve the electronic information system based on cross sectional data to gradually form a complete monitoring and longitudinal tracking data, and combine different data to provide more accurate information.
