By consulting relevant literature of ancient herbal books and processing specifications, this paper made a systematic research and analysis of Ostreae Concha, including the name, producing area, harvesting, quality, historical evolution of processing, relevant processing specifications, modern processing technology, and changes in chemical composition and pharmacological effects before and after processing, in order to provide documentary evidence for the research on processing technology and the establishment of quality standards. According to the textual research, it is known that Ostreae Concha has a long history of being used in medicine, and there have been many aliases and local names in each historical period. Shennong's Classic of the Materia Medica(Shennong Bencaojing) began to use Muli as the correct name, which has continued to use to today, and there were also aliases such as Muge, Zuogu Muli and Haoke. Ostreae Concha has a wide range of localities and irregular harvesting periods. The ancients believed that its left shell was of superior quality, but this has not been seen in modern. And there were many kinds of processing methods of Ostreae Concha, such as grinding, roasting, calcining, frying, simmering, quenching and so on, and the calcining was still in use. The different editions of Chinese Pharmacopoeia from 1963 to 2020 contain only calcined Ostreae Concha, and the local processing specifications mainly include three kinds of processed products(calcined products, salt-soaked products and vinegar-soaked products). Modern processing research mainly focuses on process optimization, changes in chemical composition and pharmacological effects, and the research methods are relatively single. Overall, there are currently issues such as inconsistent processing standards, unclear process parameters and imperfect quality standards, which are not conducive to the quality control and standardized clinical use of Ostreae Concha. Therefore, it is necessary to further investigate the pharmacological substance basis of Ostreae Concha and its processed products in order to elucidate the processing mechanism, standardize the processing technology and improve the quality standard.

Objective To establish a liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of 13 aromatic amine compounds (AAs) in workplace air. Methods A total of 13 AAs in both vapor and aerosol phases were collected in workplace air using a new GDH-6 sampling tube. Samples were desorbed and eluted with methanol, separated using a Symmetry Shield™ RP18 reversed-phase liquid chromatography column, and detected with a diode array detector. Quantification was performed using an external standard method. Results The linear range of the 13 AAs measured by this method was 0.02-373.60 μg/L with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999 0. The minimum detection concentration was 0.09-14.37 μg/m3, and the minimum quantitative concentration was 0.31-47.90 μg/m3 (both calculated based on sampling 15.0 L of air and 3.0 mL of elution volume). The average desorption and elution efficiency ranged from 97.46% to 101.23%. The within-run relative standard deviation (RSD) was 0.10%-5.99%, and the between-run RSD was 0.17%-2.71%. Samples could be stably stored in sealed conditions at 2-8 ℃ for more than seven days. Conclusion This method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of 13 AAs in workplace air, including both vapor and aerosol phases.

Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of four high-molecular-weight thiol derivatives (TDs) in workplace air by gas chromatography. Methods The four kinds of vapor-phase macromolecular TDs (1-pentanethiol, 1-hexanethiol, 1-benzyl mercaptan, and n-octanethiol) in the workplace air were collected using the GDH-1 air sampling tubes, desorbed with anhydrous ethanol, separated on a DB-FFAP capillary column, and determined by flame ionization detector. Results The quantitation range of the four TDs was 0.30-207.37 mg/L, with the correlation coefficients greater than 0.999 00. The minimum detection mass concentrations and minimum quantitation mass concentrations were 0.18-0.32 and 0.60-1.05 mg/m3, respectively (both calculated based on the 1.5 L sample and 3.0 mL desorption solvent). The mean desorption efficiencies ranged from 87.07% to 103.59%. The within-run and between-run relative standard deviations were 1.92%-8.22% and 1.89%-8.45%, respectively. The samples can be stored at room temperature or 4 ℃ for three days and up to 7 days at -18 ℃. Conclusion This method is suitable for the simultaneous determination of four vapor-phase TDs in workplace air.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological and molecular genetic characteristics of diffuse gliomas with the features of polymorphous low-grade neuroepithelial tumor of the young (PLNTY) and their prognostic values.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 14 cases of diffuse gliomas with PLNTY features diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Fuzhou, China from June 2020 to August 2024. Their clinicopathological characteristics were examined, and their molecular genetic and epigenetic features were assessed using next-generation sequencing (NGS) and methylation analysis. Factors influencing prognosis were also analyzed.Results:Among the 14 patients, there were 8 males and 6 females, aged 3-62 years, median 29 (9, 50) years. All cases were initially diagnosed as low-grade diffuse gliomas histologically but exhibited the histological and immunohistochemical features of PLNTY. At the molecular level, all cases showed molecular abnormalities involving the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, including 5 cases with FGFR3-TACC3 (F3T3) fusion, 3 cases with FGFR2 fusion, 5 cases with BRAF V600E mutation, and 1 case with FGFR1 mutation. Among them, TERT promoter mutations were frequently observed in tumors with F3T3 fusion (5/5), while NCOR2 in-frame insertion mutations were prominent in tumors with non-F3T3 fusions. Clinical follow-up showed recurrence in 3 cases, all of which had F3T3 fusion and concurrent TERT promoter mutations. Prognostic analysis confirmed that F3T3 fusion with concurrent TERT promoter mutation was associated with poor prognosis.Conclusions:Diffuse gliomas with PLNTY features exhibit heterogeneity in clinicopathology and molecular genetics, with FGFR3/FGFR2 fusions and BRAF/FGFR1 mutations as the most common molecular alteration. They often have concurrent F3T3 fusion and TERT promoter mutations, which are related to poor prognosis. The possibility of molecular glioblastoma should be considered for these tumors. It is thus recommended to perform genetic testing on diffuse gliomas with PLNTY features in order to facilitate integrated diagnosis and provide molecular evidence for accurate evaluation of prognoses.

Objective To improve the national standardized method for determining biphenyl in workplace air, which was based on activated carbon tube sampling, carbon disulfide desorption, and gas chromatography, by developing a method using GDX-502 tubes for sampling, toluene for desorption, and gas chromatography. Methods Workplace air samples were collected using GDX-502 sampling tubes and desorbed with toluene, followed by determination with gas chromatography. Results The improved method demonstrated good linearity for biphenyl concentrations ranging from 0.33 to 330.00 mg/L, with a correlation coefficient of 0.999 9. The detection limit and lower limit of quantification were 0.06 and 0.21 mg/L, and the minimum detection concentration and minimum quantification concentration were 0.04 and 0.14 mg/m3 (based on 1.5 L air sample volume), respectively. The average desorption efficiency ranged from 96.6% to 101.1%. The within-run and between-run relative standard deviations were 0.6%-1.4% and 1.4%-3.3%, respectively, with 100.0% sampling efficiency. Samples remained stable for at least 14 days at room temperature. Conclusion The improved method for biphenyl detection demonstrates rapid and accurate performance, with the advantages of low detection limits and high sampling and desorption efficiency.
