Widespread utilization of glyphosate has led to environmental residues,posing potential threats to ecological systems and human health.Traditional methods for detection of glyphosate are limited by specialized equipment and operational techniques,resulting in inefficient responses.Therefore,it is urgent to develop a convenient,sensitive and accurate detection method for detection of glyphosate.Herein,a new naphthalenesulfonamide-based"Turn-on"fluorescent probe was synthesized using 2-chloroaniline and dansyl chloride as raw materials through a one-step process,which showed a good linear relationship between the glyphosate concentration in concentration range of 0.003-70 μmol/L and the fluorescence intensity(R2=0.995),with a detection limit of 2.73 nmol/L(S/N=3).Analytical techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)spectroscopy and high-resolution mass spectrometry(HRMS)were used to investigate the interaction mechanism between the fluorescent probe and glyphosate.The results indicated that a nucleophilic substitution reaction occurred between the probe and the secondary amine(—NH—)of glyphosate,inducing a photoinduced electron transfer(PET)effect which enhanced the fluorescence intensity by 11.2 times.The probe showed good anti-interference ability towards coexisting metal ions,anions and pesticides in water.When applied to determination of glyphosate in the samples such as tap water,river water(Xiangxi River Reservoir),soil,soybeans,and corn,the spiking recoveries ranged from 94.7％to 109.9％,demonstrating the high accuracy and broad applicability of this detection method.A portable test strip based on this fluorescent probe was developed for rapid semi-quantitative analysis of glyphosate.The developed method was rapid,sensitive,and portable,providing theoretical and technical support for on-site measurement of environmental contaminants.

Objective To investigate whether successful percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)could improve symptoms and quality of life(QOL)in left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients with diabetes.Methods Patients with left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease who underwent PCI in the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University from April 2018 to May 2021 were consecutively enrolled and subdivided into 2 groups:diabetes and no diabetes.Detailed baseline characteristics,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,assessed with the Rose dyspnea scale(RDS),Seattle angina questionnaire(SAQ),the European quality of life-5 dimensions(EQ-5D)and 12-item short-form health survey(SF-12)questionnaire respectively,procedural details,and 1 month and 1 year follow-up data were collected.Results Among 440 left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease patients,disease was present in 176(40.00％),who had more hypertension,peripheral artery disease,and LCX lesion(all P＜0.05).The incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)and all-cause mortality were similar between the two groups(both P＞0.05)at 1 month follow-up,while all-cause mortality in diabetes patients was significantly higher than those without diabetes at 1 year follow-up(P=0.013).Low left ventricular ejection fraction was an independent risk factor for MACE and all-cause mortality at 1 month and 1 year follow-up after successful revascularization(all P＜0.05).Most importantly,symptoms,including dyspnea and angina,and QOL were markedly improved regardless of diabetes both at 1 month and 1 year follow-up(all P＜0.05).Diabetes patients showed improved dyspnea and QOL at similar degree to the non-diabetes patients(all P＞0.05)and a more significantly relieved angina(P=0.013).Additionally,the number of chronic total occlusion(CTO)per patient was identified as an independent risk factor of dyspnea(OR 0.723,95％CI 0.525～0.997,P=0.048)and angina relief(OR 0.686,95％CI 0.473～0.995,P=0.047),and the contrast volume(OR 0.995,95％CI 0.992～0.999,P=0.008)as an independent risk factor of QOL improvement in diabetic patients.Conclusions Successful PCI is beneficial for relieving symptoms and improving quality of life in patients with diabetes who have left main disease and/or 3-vessel disease.

italic>Platycodon grandiflorum (Jacq.) A. DC is one of the most commonly used bulk medicinal herbs. It has important value in the fields of medicine, food and cosmetics, and its market demand is increasing year by year, and it has a good development prospect. In this study, based on 403 distribution records and 8 environmental variables, we used Maxent model to predict the potential distribution of P. grandiflorum under climate change. The results showed that the model simulation effect was the best when the Maxent parameter was FC (feature combination) = LQPH (L: linear features; Q: quadratic features; P: product features; H: hinge features) and RM (regularization multiplier) = 2.1, AUC (area under curve) = 0.901, and the model prediction showed that P. grandiflorum was widely distributed in 28 provinces of China under the current climate conditions, with a suitable area of 2 337 419.98 km². Under the influence of climate change in the future, the area of suitable habitat of P. grandiflorum showed a decreasing trend, and the distribution center as a whole showed a trend of northward and eastward shift. The distribution area of P. grandiflorum in the three main producing areas is affected by climate change, and the overall trend is that the future suitable distribution area of Chifeng in Inner Mongolia increases, while the future suitable distribution area of Zibo in Shandong and Taihe, Bozhou in Anhui decreases or even disappears under the SSP5-8.5 scenario (shared socioeconomic pathways). It is suggested to maintain and protect the ecological environment and germplasm resources of the reserved area suitable for the growth of P. grandiflorum, and increase the cultivation research in the expansion area of P. grandiflorum, so as to lay a foundation for the subsequent expansion of P. grandiflorum planting and to promote the protection and sustainable development of P. grandiflorum resources.

Objective To investigate the correlation of the distribution patterns of stem-branch circuit qi at birth and at conception of children with the predisposition to pediatric epilepsy.Methods A case-control study was conducted in 1 113 children with epilepsy(case group)and 2 346 non-epilepsy children(control group)who sought medical consultation in the Pediatric Outpatient Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine at the same period.Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used to analyze the circuit qi endowment of children between the two groups at conception and at birth.Results(1)The analysis of the circuit qi distribution at birth showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of dominant qi between the case group and the control group at birth(P＜0.05).The initial qi(the first circuit qi in the theory of six climatic factors)accounted for the most(215 cases,19.30％)and the sixth qi accounted for the least(145 cases,13.0％).There was no significant difference in the distribution of suiyun(yearly evolutive phase),dominant circuit(regular yearly evolutive phase),guest circuit(alterable yearly evolutive phase),guest qi(alterable yearly circuit qi)and sitian(the first half of the alterable yearly circuit qi)at birth(P＞0.05).The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of predisposition to epilepsy in the children was increased when the children were born in the Chinese lunar year of Ren(OR=1.444,95％CI:1.055-1.975),at the initial qi(OR=1.363,95％CI:1.057-1.757)and at the fifth qi(OR=1.378,95％CI:1.065-1.783).(2)The analysis on the distribution of circuit qi at conception showed that there was no significant difference in the distribution of suiyun and sitian-zaiquan semiannual circuit qi between the case group and the control group(P＞0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of predisposition to epilepsy in the children was increased when pregnancy in the suiyun of taimu-taimu(OR=1.866,95％CI:1.142-3.048)and at sitian semiannual circuit qi of shaoyang minister fire and zaiquan semiannual circuit qi of jueyin wind-wood(OR=1.672,95％CI:1.004-2.786).Conclusion There is a certain correlation between circuit qi endowment and the prevalence of pediatric epilepsy.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ixazomib-containing regimens in the treatment of patients with multiple myeloma(MM).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical efficacy and adverse reactions of 32 MM patients treated with a combined regimen containing ixazomib in the Hematology Department of the First People's Hospital of Lianyungang from January 2020 to February 2022.Among the 32 patients,15 patients were relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma(R/RMM)(R/RMM group),17 patients who responded to bortezomib induction therapy but converted to ixazomib-containing regimen due to adverse events(AE)or other reasons(conversion treatment group).The treatment included IPD regimen(ixazomib+pomalidomide+dexamethasone),IRD regimen(ixazomib+lenalidomide+dexamethasone),ICD regimen(ixazomib+cyclophosphamide+dexamethasone),ID regimen(ixazomib+dexamethasone).Results:Of 15 R/RMM patients,overall response rate(ORR)was 53.3％(8/15),among them,1 achieved complete response(CR),2 achieved very good partial response(VGPR)and 5 achieved partial response(PR).The ORR of the IPD,IRD,ICD and ID regimen group were 100％(3/3),42.9％(3/7),33.3％(1/3),50％(1/2),respectively,there was no statistically significant difference in ORR between four groups(x2=3.375,P=0.452).The ORR of patients was 50％after first-line therapy,42.9％after second line therapy,60％after third line therapy or more,with no statistically significant difference among them(x2=2.164,P=0.730).In conversion treatment group,ORR was 88.2％(15/17),among them,6 patients achieved CR,5 patients achieved VGPR and 4 patients achieved PR.There was no statistically significant difference in ORR between the IPD(100％,3/3),IRD(100％,6/6),ICD(100％,3/3)and ID(60％,3/5)regimen groups(x2=3.737,P=0.184).The median progression-free survival(PFS)time of R/RMM patients was 9 months(95％CI:6.6-11.4 months),the median overall survival(OS)time was 18 months(95％CI:11.8-24.4 months).The median PFS time of conversion treatment group was 15 months(95％CI:7.3-22.7 months),the median OS time not reached.A total of 10 patients suffered grade 3-4 adverse event(AE).The common hematological toxicities were leukocytopenia,anemia,thrombocytopenia.The common non-hematological toxicities were gastrointestinal symptoms(diarrhea,nausea and vomit),peripheral neuropathy,fatigue and infections.Grade 1-2 peripheral neurotoxicity occurred in 7 patients.Conclusion:The ixazomib-based chemotherapy regimens are safe and effective in R/RMM therapy,particularly for conversion patients who are effective for bortezomib therapy.The AE was manageable and safe.

OBJECTIVE To reveal the pharmacological mechanism of Sofren Injection in the treatment of Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome of angina pectoris in coronary heart disease,and to preliminarily verify the reliability of the prediction results by cell experiments.METHODS Firstly,we screened the main chemical components of Sofren injection and their targets from biomedical databases and literature.Then,using the DIAMOnD algorithm,we constructed the angina disease module by screening Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome-related genes from the GeneCards and MalaCards databases.Next,we conducted gene functional enrichment analysis of the core targets in the"angina pectoris-Qi deficiency and blood stasis-Sofren Injection"network to identify key pathways.Finally,we performed cell experiments to verify the effect of Sofren Injection on the expression of key pathway proteins in hypoxic H9C2 cardiomyocytes.RESULTS We identified 7 main chemical components of Sofren Injection,targeting a total of 362 genes.We screened 232 known angina pectoris-related genes and added 100 predicted genes by constructing the angina pectoris dis-ease module.A total of 2 960 genes related to Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome were obtained.Network topological analysis re-vealed 30 core targets for Sofren Injection in treating coronary heart disease angina pectoris with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syn-drome,including STAT3,EGFR,TNF,and IL-6.Gene functional enrichment analysis identified 82 pathways.Literature analysis combined with the results indicated that STAT3 and the JAK2/STAT3 pathway might be key pathways for Sofren Injection in treating coronary heart disease angina pectoris with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome.Cell experimental results showed significant de-creases in mRNA and protein expression of JAK2 and STAT3 in the SI group and the nicorandil group compared to the model group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION Disease module analysis and cell experiments confirm that STAT3 is a key gene in the pathological mecha-nism of coronary heart disease angina pectoris with Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome,and the JAK2/STAT3 pathway is a core pathway for Sofren Injection in treating this condition.This study demonstrates the effectiveness and novelty of combining disease mod-ule for mining the treatment of TCM formulas with specific disease and syndrome.

Objective To determine the levels of arsenic in food in Chongqing city,and to assess the levels of dietary arsenic exposure and the associated potential health risks in residents of Chongqing city.Methods By using the monitoring data on arsenic levels in food in Chongqing between 2018 and 2023 in combination with the local dietary survey data for Chongqing from the 2018 China Nutrition and Health Survey Program,and adopting the 2-dimensional Monte Carlo simulation,we made an estimate of the dietary arsenic exposure levels of Chongqing residents.The margin of exposure(MOE)method was applied to assess both non-carcinogenic risks(skin damage)and carcinogenic risks(lung cancer and urinary system cancers)associated with dietary intake of arsenic.Results Out of 4900 food samples,the detection rate of arsenic was 36.40％,with the average levels ranging from the median bound(MB)of 0.020 7 to the upper bound(UB)of 0.023 4 mg/kg.The highest average levels were found in rice and its products,with an MB of 0.0981 and a UB of 0.098 5 mg/kg.The daily average exposure to inorganic arsenic for residents of different ages,sexes,and places of residence was highest in individuals aged 3 to 6,with an MB of 1.046 μg/(kg·d)and a UB of 1.116 μg/(kg·d),and lowest among individuals aged 60 and older.Arsenic exposure was higher in males than that in females and higher in people living in rural areas compared to those in urban areas.In terms of non-carcinogenic risks,the MOE values for inorganic arsenic were always higher than 1 in various populations.As for carcinogenic risks,the MOE values were all less than 100 in various populations.Rice and its products were the main source of dietary arsenic exposure in Chongqing,accounting for 69.97％to 74.37％of the total exposure.Conclusion The non-carcinogenic risk caused by dietary arsenic exposure in Chongqing is relatively low,but there may be a certain level of carcinogenic risk.Continued attentions should be given to dietary arsenic exposure levels in young children.

Objective To explore the value of constructing a model to predict the number of positive cores in systematic biopsy in prostate cancer(PCa)using a combination of radiomics features based on magnetic resonance imaging and clinical indicators.Methods Retrospectively collected magnetic resonance imaging and clinical data from two medical institutions(Gansu Provincial Hospital from January 2018 to February 2023,Zhangye People's Hospital Affiliated to Hexi College from April 2020 to February 2023).The 155 patients from Gansu Provincial Hospital were randomly divided into a training set(n=109;80 cases with positive needle count≥6 and 29 cases with positive needle count<6)and an internal validation set(n=46;34 cases with positive needle count≥6 and 12 cases with positive needle count<6)in a 7:3 ratio.The 43 patients from Zhangye People's Hospital Affiliated to Hexi College were used as external validation set.Small field of view high-resolution T2-weighted imaging(sFOV HR-T2WI)and contrast-enhanced delayed-phase images were selected to extract radiomic features from the three-dimensional region of interest of the entire prostate,and radiomics model was constructed and Radscores calculated after dimensionality reduction and feature selection.Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were used to screen for independent risk factors for positive cores in systematic biopsy.Nomogram was constructed using Radscore and clinical independent risk factors to predict the number of positive cores in systematic biopsy in PCa patients,which was then externally validated.Results Age,alkaline phosphatase(ALP),free prostate specific antigen(FPSA),total prostate specific antigen(TPSA),FPSA/TPSA ratio,and prostate specific antigen density(PSAD)were not statistically significantly different between the training,internal validation,and external validation sets(P>0.05).FPSA,TPSA,FPSA/TPSA ratio,and PSAD were significantly different between the positive cores<6 and positive cores≥6 groups(P<0.001).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that FPSA(P<0.001),TPSA(P<0.001),FPSA/TPSA ratio(P=0.001),PSAD(P<0.001),and Radscore(P<0.001)were risk factors for positive cores in systematic biopsy in PCa.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PSAD(OR=0.251,95%CI 0.063-0.996,P=0.049)and Radscore(OR=1.990,95%CI 1.409-2.812,P<0.001)were independent risk factors for positive cores in systematic biopsy in PCa.The clinical models achieved AUCs of 0.849(95%CI 0.774-0.924),0.817(95%CI 0.693-0.941),and 0.631(95%CI 0.439-0.822);the 12 features for radiomics models are derived solely from sFOV HR-T2WI,the radiomics models achieved AUCs of 0.868(95%CI 0.791-0.945),0.846(95%CI 0.695-0.996),and 0.815(95%CI 0.660-0.970);the nomogram achieved AUCs of 0.921(95%CI 0.869-0.973),0.868(95%CI 0.743-0.992),and 0.840(95%CI 0.702-0.978)in the training set,internal validation set,and external validation set,respectively.Conclusions The combination of radiomic features extracted from sFOV HR-T2WI and PSAD can preoperatively be used as a noninvasive manner to predict the number of positive cores of the PCa patients.This approach has a certain value in risk stratification of PCa patients and guiding personalized clinical management.
