ObjectiveBased on ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， network pharmacology， molecular docking and cell experiments， the active ingredients， possible targets and molecular mechanisms of Baoxin granules（BXG） regulating ferroptosis in the treatment of heart failure（HF） were explored. MethodsBXG intestinal absorption fluid was prepared by everted gut sac and the chemical composition contained therein were identified by UPLC-Q-TOF-MS. According to the obtained components， the potential targets of BXG were predicted， and the HF-related targets and related genes of ferroptosis were retrieved at the same time， and the intersecting targets were obtained by Venn diagram. In addition， the protein-protein interaction（PPI） network and the component-target network were constructed， and the core components and core targets were obtained by topological analysis. Then Gene Ontology（GO） function and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） enrichment analysis were performed on the core targets， and molecular docking validation of the key targets and main components was carried out by AutoDockTools 1.5.7. H9c2 cells were used to establish a oxygen-glucose deprivation model， and the protective effect of BXG on cells was investigated by detecting cell viability， cell survival rate and reactive oxygen species（ROS） level. The protein expression levels of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3（STAT3）， phosphorylation（p）-STAT3 and glutathione peroxidase 4（GPX4） were detected by Western blot to clarify the regulatory effect of BXG on ferroptosis. ResultsA total of 61 chemical components in BXG intestinal absorption fluid were identified， and network pharmacology obtained 27 potential targets of BXG for the treatment of HF， as well as 139 signaling pathways. BXG may act on core targets such as STAT3， tumor protein p53（TP53）， epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR）， JUN and prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2（PTGS2） through core components such as glabrolide and limonin， which in turn intervene in lipid and atherosclerosis， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt）， endocrine resistance and other signaling pathways to exert therapeutic effects on HF. Molecular docking showed that the docking results of multiple groups of targets and compounds were good. In vitro cell experiments showed that compared with the blank group， the cell viability and survival rate of the model group were significantly decreased， the level of ROS was significantly increased（P<0.01）， the expression levels of STAT3， p-STAT3， p-STAT3/STAT3 and GPX4 proteins were significantly decreased（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the cell viability and survival rate of the BXG group were significantly increased， the ROS level was significantly decreased（P<0.01）， the STAT3， p-STAT3， p-STAT3/STAT3 and GPX4 protein levels were significantly increased（P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionBXG may inhibit the occurrence of ferroptosis by up-regulating the expression of STAT3 and GPX4， thus exerting a therapeutic effect on HF， and flavonoids may be the key components of this role.

Goose astrovirus(GAstV)has become one of the most important pathogens endangering the goose farming industry in China.To discover the genomic information of prevalent strains in China in 2022 and reveal their biological characteristics,the whole genomes of 9 strains of GAstV-1 and 12 strains of GAstV-2 isolated from parts of China in 2022 were sequenced by the Chromo-some Walking and analyzed by bioinformatics software and websites.The analysis results of gene structure showed that the sizes of the coding genes ranged from 6 977 to 7 215 bp.The open read-ing frame 1(ORF1)of all strains contained the characteristic motifs of serine protease,nuclear lo-calization signal(NLS)and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRp).The ribosomal frameshift signals(RFS)were all in the form of stem-loop structures.However,the numbers of stem and loop nucleotides in GAstV-1 were"14+11"configuration,while those in GAstV-2 were"12+14"configuration,and the loop of GAstV-2 was in the"8+6"double-loop configuration.The results of homological analysis for ORF1b showed that the homology of the GAstV-1 isolats compared with the representative strains of avian astrovirus types 1,2,and 3(AAstV-1,AAstV-2,AAstV-3)ranged from 7％to 64％,and the homology of the GAstV-2 isolates ranged from 8％to 68％.The average genetic distances of ORF2 were 0.9,1.2,and 0.9 respectively compared with the represent-ative strains of AAstV-1,AAstV-2 and AAstV-3.While for the GAstV-2 isolates,the highest ho-mologies were 68％and 56％,the lowest homologies were 8％and 36％respectively.And the aver-age genetic distances of ORF2 were 1.0,1.2,and 0.5 respectively.B-cell-conformational epitopes screening results of ORF2 showed that,there were four common epitopes in the GAstV Group 1 i-solates,namely PRE,LALQSQSVNTFA,AAG and YQQVTSDQSI except for N-145,N-287 and N-314 in the two strains G1FJ267 and G1JS277.And there were seven common conformational epitopes in the GAstV-2 isolates,namely NQE,RAN,GPE,PRQ,TRAQ,SNS,and AVPPNTPL except for N-83,N-136,N-331 and N-351 in the strain G2FJ283-3B.The above results indicated that GAstV maybe belong to a new type of AAstV because of the difference between the clinical i-solates and the known strains of AAstV.And there was pathogenic diversity among the isolates.All the isolates of GAstV-1 and GAstV-2 belong to two different serotypes,and the possible serologi-cal subtypes among the isolates of GAstV-1 or GAstV-2 are remained to be further identified by serological tests.

CONCLUSIONS ：Before and after processing ，there are obvious differences between some flavonoids and coumarins ， which may be the main material basis for differential use of raw and honey-fried G. uralensis .

Objective: To understand prevalence, control of hypertension and intake of sodium and potassium among residents aged 50-69 years old in Zhejiang Province. Methods: A multi-stage random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 032 residents aged 50-69 years old in Zhejiang Province. The demographic characteristics, prevalence and control of hypertension were collected through a questionnaire survey, and physical measurement was also performed. The stratified random sampling method was used to detect the level of sodium and potassium in the 24 h urine of 676 subjects. The total amount of 24 h urinary sodium ≥102.55 mmol and the ratio of 24 h urinary sodium and potassium content ≥2 were defined as excessive. Results: The prevalence of hypertension (95%CI) was 56.89% (54.39%-59.40%), and the awareness, treatment and control rate of hypertension were 58.25% (55.01%-61.49%), 45.37% (42.10%-48.65%) and 19.75% (17.01%-22.50%), respectively. 78.99% (n=534) of residents had excessive 24 h urinary sodium, and 95.41% (n=360) of residents had excessive ratio of 24 h urinary sodium and potassium. Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension in residents aged 50-69 years old in Zhejiang Province was at a high level, and the control of hypertension was not satisfactory in 2017. Most of residents have excessive level of sodium intake and the level of sodium and potassium intake was not balanced.
