High-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was used to determine the content of three major components in Citri Reticulatae Semen(CRS), including limonin, nomilin, and obacunone. The chromaticity of the CRS sample during salt processing and stir-frying was measured using a color difference meter. Next, the relationship between the color and content of the salt-processed CRS sample was investigated through correlation analysis. By integrating the oil bath technique for processing simulation with HPLC, the changes in the relative content of nomilin and its transformation products were analyzed, with its structural transformation pattern during processing identified. Additionally, RAW264.7 cells were induced with lipopolysaccharides(LPSs) to establish an inflammatory model, and the anti-inflammatory activity of nomilin and its transformation product, namely obacunone was evaluated. The results indicated that as processing progressed, E~*ab and L~* values showed a downward trend; a~* values exhibited a slow increase over a certain period, followed by no significant changes, and b~* values remained stable with no significant changes over a certain period and then started to decrease. The limonin content remained barely unchanged; the nomilin content decreased, and the obacunone increased significantly. The changing trends in content and color parameters during salt-processing and stir-frying were basically consistent. The content of nomilin and obacunone was significantly correlated with the colorimetric values(L~*, a~*, b~*, and E~*ab), while limonin content showed no significant correlation with these values. By analyzing HPLC patterns of nomylin at different heating temperatures and time, it was found that under conditions of 200-250 ℃ for heating of 5-60 min, the content of nomilin significantly decreased, while the obacunone content increased pronouncedly. The in vitro anti-inflammatory activity results indicated that compared to the model group, the group with a high concentration of nomilin and the groups with varying concentrations of obacunone showed significantly reduced release of nitric oxide(NO)(P<0.01). When both were at the same concentration, obacunone showed better performance in inhibiting NO release. In this study, the obvious correlation between the color and content of major components during the processing of CRS samples was identified, and the dynamic patterns of quality change in CRS samples during processing were revealed. Additionally, the study revealed and confirmed the transformation of nomilin into obacunone during processing, with the in vitro anti-inflammatory activity of obacunone significantly greater than that of nomilin. These findings provided a scientific basis for CRS processing optimization, tablet quality control, and its clinical application.

To explore the common irritant components in different base sources of Polygonati Rhizoma(PR). A rabbit eye irritation experiment was conducted to compare the irritant effects of raw products of Polygonatum kingianum, P. officinale, and P. multiflorum. The irritant effects of different solvent extraction parts and needle crystals of PR were compared, and the irritant components were screened. The morphology and structure of the purified needle crystal of PR were observed by microscope and scanning electron microscope and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Rabbit eye irritation and mouse abdominal inflammation model were used to evaluate rabbit eye irritation scores, inflammatory mediators, inflammatory factors levels in the peritoneal exudate of mice, with the peritoneal pathological section used as indicators. The inflammatory effect of needle crystals of PR was studied, and the content of calcium oxalate in three kinds of PR was determined by HPLC. The common protein in three kinds of PR was screened and compared by double enzymatic hydrolysis in solution combined with mass spectrometry. The results showed that three kinds of PR raw products had certain irritant effects on rabbit eyes, among which P. kingianum had the strongest irritant effect. There were no obvious irritant effects in the different solvent extraction parts of P. kingianum. Compared with the blank group, the needle crystal of PR had a significant irritant effect on rabbit eyes, and the inflammatory mediators and inflammatory factors in the peritoneal exudate were significantly increased(P<0.05) in a dose-dependent manner. Meanwhile, the peritoneal tissue of mice was damaged with significant inflammatory cell infiltration after intraperitoneal injection of needle crystal, indicating that needle crystal had an inflammatory effect. Microscope and scanning electron microscope observations showed that the needle crystals of PR were slender, with a length of about 100-200 μm and sharp ends. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the needle crystals of PR were calcium oxalate monohydrate crystals. The results of HPLC showed that the content of calcium oxalate in P. kingianum was the highest among the three kinds of PR. It was speculated that the content of needle crystal in P. kingianum was higher than that in P. officinale and P. multiflorum, which was consistent with the results of the rabbit eye irritation experiment. The results of mass spectrometry showed that ribosome inactivating protein and mannose/sialic acid binding lectin were related to inflammation and cell metabolism in all three kinds of PR. There was no obvious irritant effect in different solvent extracts of PR. The calcium oxalate needle crystal contained was the main irritant component of PR, and three kinds of PR contained common ribosome inactivating protein and mannose/sialic acid binding lectin, which may be related to the inflammatory irritant effect of PR.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of colorectal polyps in patients with melanosis coli(MC),analyze the recurrence risk after polypectomy,and construct a prediction model for polyp recurrence.Methods A total of 1,763 patients who underwent colorectal polypec-tomy at the First Hospital of Handan from January 2017 to June 2023 were divided into MC group(n=149)and non-MC group(n=1,614).Among them,122 patients in the MC group underwent colonoscopic re-examination one year later and were further divided into recurrence group(n=52)and non-recurrence group(n=70)based on polyp recurrence.The characteristics of colorectal polyps and recurrence risk after polypectomy in MC patients were analyzed.A multivariable Logistic regression analysis was used to construct a polyp recurrence risk model,and the nomogram model was plotted using R studio software.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve,and decision curve analysis were employed to evaluate the discrimination,calibration,and clinical practicality of the model.Results The detection rates of large polyps(≥1.0 cm),right-sided colon polyps,multiple polyps(≥3 polyps),and Yamada type Ⅰ polyps in the MC group were significantly higher than those in the non-MC group,while the detection rates of left-sided co-lon polyps and Yamada type Ⅳ polyps were significantly lower(P＜0.05).The detection rates of adenomatous polyps and polyps with mild dysplasia in the MC group were significantly higher than those in the non-MC group,whereas the detection rate of polyps with moderate dysplasia in the MC group was significantly lower(P＜0.05).Significant differences were observed between the recur-rence and non-recurrence groups in terms of a history of cholecystectomy,Helicobacter pylori(Hp)in-fection,and family history of colorectal cancer(P＜0.05).There were also significant differences in the distribution,size,and the number of initial polyps between the two groups(P＜0.05).Multivari-able Logistic regression analysis identified cholecystectomy,Hp infection,first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer,polyp size(≥1 cm),and multiple polyps(≥3 polyps)as independent risk factors for polyp recurrence after polypectomy(P＜0.05).Based on these factors,a recurrence prediction model was constructed.The area under the curve(AUC)of this model was 0.824(95％CI,0.753 to 0.895),indicating good discrimination.The calibration curve showed a good fit.Decision curve anal-ysis demonstrated a high net benefit within the threshold range of 0.1 to 0.8,suggesting that the mod-el had a wide range of beneficial thresholds and clinical practical value.Conclusion Compared with the non-MC group,the MC group has higher detection rates of large polyps,right-sided colon pol-yps,multiple polyps,Yamada type Ⅰ polyps,adenomatous polyps,and polyps with low-grade dys-plasia,but lower detection rates of left-sided colon polyps,Yamada type Ⅳ polyps,and polyps with moderate dysplasia.Cholecystectomy,Hp infection,first-degree relatives with colorectal cancer,large polyps(≥1 cm),and multiple polyps(≥3 polyps)are independent risk factors for polyp re-currence after colorectal polypectomy in MC patients.The recurrence prediction model constructed based on these factors has high practical value.

Radiation-induced thrombocytopenia(RIT)faces a perplexing challenge in the clinical treatment of cancer patients,and current therapeutic approaches are inadequate in the clinical settings.In this research,oxy-matrine,a new molecule capable of healing RIT was screened out,and the underlying regulatory mecha-nism associated with magakaryocyte(MK)differentiation and thrombopoiesis was demonstrated.The capacity of oxymatrine to induce MK differentiation was verified in K-562 and Meg-01 cells in vitro.The ability to induce thrombopoiesis was subsequently demonstrated in Tg(cd41:enhanced green fluorescent protein(eGFP))zebrafish and RIT model mice.In addition,we carried out network pharmacological pre-diction,drug affinity responsive target stability assay(DARTS)and cellular thermal shift assay(CETSA)analyses to explore the potential targets of oxymatrine.Moreover,the pathway underlying the effects of oxymatrine was determined by Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analyses,Western blot(WB),and immunofluorescence.Oxymatrine markedly promoted MK differentiation and maturation in vitro.Moreover,oxymatrine induced thrombopoiesis in Tg(cd41:eGFP)zebrafish and accelerated thrombopoiesis and platelet function recovery in RIT model mice.Mechanistically,oxymatrine directly binds to toll-like receptor 2(TLR2)and further regulates the downstream pathway stimulator of interferon genes(STING)/nuclear factor-kappaB(NF-κB),which can be blocked by C29 and C-176,which are specific inhibitors of TLR2 and STING,respectively.Taken together,we demonstrated that oxymatrine,a novel TLR2 agonist,plays a critical role in accelerating MK differentiation and thrombopoiesis via the STING/NF-κB axis,suggesting that oxymatrine is a promising candidate for RIT therapy.

Objective:To study the allocation efficiency of private ophthalmology health resources in Shanxi,and to provide references for improving the allocation efficiency of health resources in Chinese private ophthalmology medical institutions.Methods:The resource allocation and services of 70 private ophthalmic medical institutions in Shanxi were collected through a questionnaire survey,and Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)was used to evaluate the efficiency of health resource allocation in medical institutions of Shanxi.Results:The average values of technical efficiency,pure technical efficiency,and scale efficiency of health resource allocation in private ophthalmic medical institutions in Shanxi were 0.963,0.980,and 0.982,respectively.Among the 70 private ophthalmology institutions,7 institutions were DEA-strongly efficient in health resource allocation,26 institutions were DEA-weakly efficient,37 institutions were non-DEA efficient,15 institutions had constant return to scale,40 institutions had increasing return to scale,and 15 institutions had decreasing return to scale.The allocation of health resources in 7 cities,including Taiyuan,Datong,and Shuozhou,etc.were DEA-strongly efficient;Changzhi and Jincheng were DEA-weakly efficient,both with increasing return to scale;and Linfen was non-DEA efficient with increasing return to scale.Conclusion:The efficiency of health resource allocation in some municipalities of Shanxi needs to be improved;the level of inter-organization varied,and the problems of insufficient resources and wasted inputs coexisted.In the future,ophthalmic resources should be rationally allocated,and input and output indicators should be adjusted according to the actual situation.

Objective:To investigate the application value of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging(CMR) in evaluating the perioperative risk of surgical treatment in patients of coronary artery disease and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.Methods:A total of 78 patients diagnosed with CAD and HFrEF who underwent CABG in Beijing Anzhen Hospital from January 2018 to October 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. All patients underwent CMR examination before CABG. The perioperative data of the two groups were compared, and the risk factors that may lead to perioperative MACCE were analyzed by LASSO regression. Then, logistic regression was used to establish a prediction model and internal validation was performed to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency and accuracy of the model by Bootstrap method. Results:There were 24 patients(30.8%) with perioperative MACCE and 54 patients(69.2%) without perioperative MACCE. LASSO regression was used to screen out three factors related to the outcome. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LGE in the third and eighth segment of left ventricle and diastolic radial strain rate were independent risk factors for perioperative MACCE. The area under the curve of the prediction model constructed with CMR was 0.799(95% CI: 0.696-0.901), so the discrimination was good. The calibration curve showed that the prediction curve was basically fit to the standard curve, and the Hosmer- Lemeshow test P=0.797, indicating high prediction accuracy. Conclusion:CMR is a valuable test for evaluating perioperative risk in patients with coronary heart disease complicated with HFrEF. To establish the risk prediction model combined with CMR can provide some reference for the assessment of perioperative risk in these patients undergoing surgical treatment.

With the development of education and technology, the construction of research public platforms has emerged as a critical initiative for many universities and top-tier public hospitals. The core and most fundamental function of a basic public platform is to aggregate large instruments and specific resources, providing open services for instrumental analysis and sample testing. Optimized management and high-quality, efficient services are essential for such platforms. This article elucidates the construction of a research public platform in West China Hospital, focusing on the adoption of hierarchical management and precise services. The core of the hierarchical management lies in building a multi-level service platform composed of routine support platforms, advanced technology platforms, and specially qualification platforms, while establishing a talent hierarchy that differentiates between core and routine positions. This structure is designed to accurately meet the diverse needs of users and enhance resource efficiency. By implementing user access control with differentiated permissions for internal and external users and a dynamic credit-based review system, the laboratory can ensure safe and efficient operations. The four service modes-instrument usage, in-lab experiments, sample testing, and collaborative projects-are precisely aligned with various research scenarios. Proactive engagement with grant-funded projects, customized services for research groups, and a multidimensional training system further strengthen the platform's support for major scientific research tasks. Through systematic management and service innovation, this model achieves efficient integration and sustainable development of platform resources, providing a valuable reference for the construction of public platforms in similar medical institutions.
