AIM To evaluate the quality consistency of Tongmai Granules,Tongmai Tablets,Tongmai Capsules and Tongmai Oral Liquid.METHODS The HPLC fingerprints were established,after which the contents of danshensu,protocatechuic aldehyde,3'-hydroxy puerarin,puerarin,puerarin apioside,daidzin,ferulic acid,salvianolic acid B and salvianolic acid A were determined,and cluster analysis and principal component analysis were adopted in the quality analysis from the perspective of daily intake.RESULTS There were 21 common peaks in the fingerprints for 39 batches of samples with the similarities of 0.765-0.997.Various batches of samples were clustered into 5 categories,2 principal components demonstrated the accumulative variance contribution rate of 83.53％ .The daily intakes of various constituents in different dosage forms exhibited obvious differences,especially for that of salvianolic acid B,which were low in tablets and capsules,and their heterogeneities existed among the same dosage forms.CONCLUSION This simple and accurate method can provide a reference for the quality evaluation of Tongmai preparations from different manufacturers.

Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD)is a non-specific chronic inflammatory bowel condition.Crohn's disease(CD)and ulcerative colitis(UC)are the 2 main types of IBD.IBD is prone to recurrent attacks,which is associated with many factors,such as immune dysfunction,intestinal microenvironment homeostasis imbalance,and environmental and genetic factors;however,its specific pathogenesis is still unclear.Zebrafish has recently emerged as an emerging animal model and have been used extensively for mechanistic research into IBD,model construction,activity evaluation,and screening of anti-IBD agents,due to their unique biological advantages.Based on the latest research progress using zebrafish in the field of IBD,this review systematically introduces the intestinal development characteristics,tissue structure,intestinal immunity,IBD model,and the application of drug screening in zebrafish,to demonstrate the value of zebrafish in the study of IBD.

Peritoneal fibrosis(PF)is an important reason that restricts long-term treatment of peritoneal dialysis(PD).Based on the theory of collateral disease,PF is considered to be an abdominal collateral disease,with dampness as the main pathogenic factor,and collateral qi deficiency and stagnation,toxicity and blood stasis as the core pathogenesis.The peritoneum is chronically exposed to an inflammatory microenvironment induced by non-biocompatible peritoneal dialysis fluid,reflecting the pathogenic mechanism of dampness-induced pathology.The resultant pathological processes,including damage of peritoneal mesothelial cells,accumulation of inflammatory mediators and metabolic products,and angiogenesis—elucidate the scientific connotation of dampness impairing collaterals and inducing deficiency,toxicity,and stasis.On this basis,the treatment principles of invigorating qi,detoxifying,resolving stasis and unblocking collaterals were proposed,and the Qixue Huazheng prescription was formed with Astragalus as the main ingredient and Centella asiatica and Ligusticum wallichii as the compatibility,which provides a reference for the prevention and treatment of PD-relat-ed PF by traditional Chinese medicine.

2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia(COVID-19)is a serious acute infectious disease caused by novel coronavirus(SARS CoV-2)infection,with fever,dry cough and fatigue as the main symptoms.In recent years,studies have suggested that the male reproductive system can be directly invaded by novel coronavirus,with the testis as one of its target organs.Therefore,infection with novel coronavirus can cause the development and aggravation of such diseases as male erectile dysfunction,male infertility,prosta-titis,etc.However,no consensus has been reached whether such impacts will be mitigated or remain after recovery from COVID-19,and few reports are available on the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 inducing male reproductive diseases based on the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medicine.This review systematically summarizes the impacts of SARS-CoV-2 on male reproductive health and the etiological principles in the perspective of both TCM and Western medicine.

Objective:To analyze the predictive role of WT1 expression levels pre-and early post-transplantation on relapse and overall survival(OS)in patients with acute myeloid leukemia(AML)undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT)during their first complete remission(CR1).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 107 adult AML patients who underwent allo-HSCT during their CR1 at our center between May 2012 and December 2021.The predictive role of bone marrow WT1 expression levels before transplantation and at 3 and 6 months post-transplantation on relapse and OS was explored in combination with relevant clinical factors.Results:The median follow-up time for the 107 patients was 70(range:11-117)months.Among the patients,15 cases died.Kaplan-Meier survial analysis showed that the 3-year overall survival(OS)rate was 85.0％.20 patients experienced relapse,with a median time to relapse of 8(range:0.5-44)months and a l-year cumulative relapse rate of 13.1％.The overall median value of WT1 before transplantation,3 months after transplantation,and 6 months after transplantation was 0.26％(range:0％-23.64％),with an upper quartile value of 0.74％.No statistically significant differences in WT1 expression levels were observed among the pre-transplantation,3-month post-transplantation,and 6-month post-transplantation time points(P=0.227).Univariate analysis showed that patients with WT1 levels＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a higher 1-year relapse rate(P=0.029)and lower 3-year OS rate(P＜0.001)compared to patients with WT1 levels ≤0.74％.Other significant factors affecting 1-year relapse included stem cell source(P=0.041)and chronic graft-versus-host disease(cGVHD)(P=0.013).For 3-year OS,additional influencing factors were genetic high risk(P=0.048)and stem cell source(P=0.016).Multivariate analysis revealed that WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation had a trend to affect 1-year relapse rate(HR=3.309,95％CI:0.958-11.431,P=0.058),while the absence of cGVHD was an independent risk factor for 1-year relapse(HR=3.473,95％CI:0.749-16.100,P=0.037).Only WT1 level＞0.74％at 3 months post-transplantation was an independent risk factor for 3-year OS(HR=6.886,95％CI:2.402-19.738,P＜0.001).Conclusion:High WT1 expression level at 3 months post-transplantation in AML patients undergoing allo-HSCT during CR1 affects the 1-year relapse rate and 3-year OS,and is an independent risk factor affecting 3-year OS.These findings suggest that dynamic monitoring of WT1 expression levels has certain value in prognostic assessment of AML patients who received allo-HSCT during CR1.

Objective:To analyze the time to reach full enteral feedings (TFEF) among preterm infants with gestational age (GA)<32 weeks admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Chinese Neonatal Network (CHNN).Methods:This was a retrospective analysis based on the database from the CHNN 89 participating centers between January 1 st, 2019 and December 31 st, 2022. All 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks and a birth weight <1 500 g, admitted to the NICU within 24 h after birth, hospitalization for at least 7 d and achieved full enteral feedings before discharge were included. According to the birth weight, these infants were divided into extremely low birth weight (ELBW) group and very low birth weight (VLBW) group. The practice characteristics of TFEF across different GA, the severity of neonatal admission, the NICU interventions before reaching full enteral feeding, and relevant neonatal diseases were described. Mann-Whitney U tests or Kruskal-Wallis H tests was used for comparison between groups. Results:Among the 16 155 preterm infants with a GA <32 weeks, 8 505 case (52.6%) were male. The TFEF in 3 374 cases of ELBW groups was 32 (22, 46) d, 351 cases (10.4%) with TFEF ≤2 weeks, 1 050 cases (31.1%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, 964 cases (28.6%) with TFEF >4-6 weeks, and 1 009 cases (29.9%) with TFEF >6 weeks. The TFEF in 12 781 cases of VLBW group was 22 (15, 32) d, 439 cases (3.4%) with TFEF ≤1 week, 2 565 cases (20.1%) with TFEF >1-2 weeks, 5 526 cases (43.2%) with TFEF >2-4 weeks, and 4 251 cases (33.3%) with TFEF >4 weeks. The TFEF was 36(23, 52) d of 625 preterm infants at a GA ≤25 weeks and 20 (13, 28) d of 2 606 preterm infants at a GA 31 weeks. Inborn infants had a shorter TFEF than those outborn infants and the infants with breast-fed achieved shorter than formula and mixed feeding both in ELBW and VLBW groups (all P<0.001). The earlier enteral feeding started, the shorter TFEF will be both in ELBW and VLBW groups (both P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants who were treated before full enteral feeding like peripherally inserted central catheters, and blood transfusions and blood product providers were all longer than those who were not treated (all P<0.001). The TFEF of preterm infants with complications like hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus, necrotizing enterocolitis, late onset sepsis, severe retinopathy of prematurity and bronchopulmonary dysplasia were all longer than those without (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The distribution of TFEF in VLBW and ELBW has a large difference. The TFEF of preterm infants varies with different GA, treatment measures and complications. Further quality improvement is required to shorten TFEF.
