Metabolites produced as intermediaries or end-products of microbial metabolism provide crucial signals for health and diseases, such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). These metabolites include products of the bacterial metabolism of dietary substrates, modification of host molecules (such as bile acids [BAs], trimethylamine-N-oxide, and short-chain fatty acids), or products directly derived from bacteria. Recent studies have provided new insights into the association between MASLD and the risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, alterations in microbiota composition and metabolite profiles, notably altered BAs, have been described in studies investigating the association between MASLD and the risk of CKD. This narrative review discusses alterations of specific classes of metabolites, BAs, fructose, vitamin D, and microbiota composition that may be implicated in the link between MASLD and CKD.

In order to provide basic information for the utilization and development of famous classical formulas containing Bletillae Rhizoma， this article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， harvesting and processing of Bletillae Rhizoma by reviewing the ancient materia medica， prescription books， medical books and modern literature. The research results showed that Baiji（白及） was the main name， some scholars took Baiji（白芨） as its main name， and there were many other names such as Baiji（白给）， Baigen（白根）， Baiji（白苙）. The mainstream source of Bletillae Rhizoma was the tubers of Bletilla striata， and drying， large， white， solid， root-free and skin removed completely were the good quality standards. With the promotion of wild to cultivated medicinal materials， there were certain differences between their traits， and the quality evaluation indexes should be adjusted accordingly. The origin of records in the past dynasties was widely distributed， with Guizhou and Sichuan having high production and good quality in modern times. The harvesting period is mostly in spring and autumn， and harvested in autumn was better. The processing and processing technology is relatively simple， and it was used fresh or powdered in past dynasties， while it is mainly sliced for raw use in modern times. Based on the results， it is suggested that the tubers of Bletilla striata of Orchidaceae should be used in the famous classical formulas， and it should be uniformly written as Baiji（白及）. And if the original formula indicates the requirement of processing， it should be operated according to the requirement， if the requirement of processing is not indicated， it can be used in raw form as medicine.

OBJECTIVE To establish UHPLC-ELSD fingerprint and multi-component content determination methods, compare the differences in sheep bile from different regions, and conduct antioxidant activity research to provide a basis for the in-depth development and utilization of sheep bile. METHODS Used UHPLC-ELSD method to establish 21 batches of bile fingerprints of sheep from different origins and conduct similarity analysis. Measured the content of 6 components, DPPH and ABTS free radical scavenging ability, iron ion reduction ability, and conducted entropy weighted TOPSIS and grey correlation analysis. RESULTS A total of 11 common peaks were identified in the fingerprint spectra of 21 batches of sheep bile. Through comparison with the control sample, 6 components were identified, including taurocholic acid(TCA), glycocholic acid(GCA), taurochenodeoxycholic acid(TCDCA), tauroursodeoxycholic acid(TDCA), glycodeoxycholic acid(GDCA), and cholic acid(CA). Except for 4 batches of samples, the similarity of the fingerprint spectra was greater than 0.90. The total content range of 6 components in the freeze-dried powder of 21 batches of sheep bile was 55.34% to 86.08%. The highest content of taurocholic acid ranged from 34.74% to 60.86%, indicating significant differences in the content of the six components in samples from different regions. Sheep bile from different regions had antioxidant activity, and there were also certain differences. The results of entropy weighted TOPSIS analysis using six component contents as variables showed that the top ten scoring groups were S2, S18, S16, S9, S8, S21, S1, S10, S20, and S15, indicating good quality and slightly better bile quality from sheep in the northern region. The grey correlation analysis results between the content of 6 components and 3 antioxidant indicators showed that all 6 components were correlated with each antioxidant indicator, and TCA, TDCA, and TCDCA had the highest correlation, which might be important components for sheep bile to exert antioxidant effects. CONCLUSION The use of entropy weighted TOPSIS and grey correlation analysis methods can effectively analyze the quality differences and antioxidant active components of sheep bile from different regions, providing scientific basis for its quality evaluation.

【Objective】 To investigate the association between genetic variations in the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) gene and BP responses to sodium and potassium intake. 【Methods】 A total of 514 subjects from 124 families were recruited in Meixian County, Shaanxi Province, in 2004, resulting in the establishment of a "salt-sensitive hypertension study cohort" . The subjects followed a dietary regimen which involved a normal diet for 3 days, a low-salt diet for 7 days, a high-salt diet for 7 days, and a high-salt potassium-supplemented diet for 7 days. BP measurement was conducted at different intervention periods, and peripheral blood samples were collected. Additionally, eight single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the GLP-1R gene were genotyped using the MassARRAY detection platform. 【Results】 The GLP-1R gene SNP rs9462472 exhibited a significant association with systolic BP, diastolic BP, and mean arterial pressure response to high-salt intervention. Similarly, SNP rs2268637 showed a significant association with systolic BP response to high-salt intervention. Furthermore, SNP rs2268637 was significantly associated with systolic BP and mean arterial pressure responses to high-salt plus potassium supplementation intervention. 【Conclusion】 Our findings indicate a significant association of genetic variations in the GLP-1R gene with BP responses to sodium and potassium intake. This suggests that the GLP-1R gene plays a role in the regulation of BP salt sensitivity and potassium sensitivity.

The intervention and prevention of perioperative hypothermia is not only reflected in the technical level, but also reveals the important role of humanistic care in the whole intervention work. If perioperative patients have hypothermia, it is likely to cause a series of complications such as postoperative shivering, which seriously threatens the life safety of patients. Prevention and intervention was based on a comprehensive understanding of the causes and hazards of hypothermia, especially the impact on the lives of the elderly. Effective supervision was implemented in the whole process of operation, such as dynamic monitoring of vital signs including body temperature, followed by room temperature regulation, body temperature protection and preoperative and postoperative psychological nursing. At this time, the sense of responsibility, good humanistic care of medical staff are of positive significance to effectively prevent and reduce the probability of perioperative hypothermia and accelerate the postoperative rehabilitation of patients.

[Objective] To explore the expression of Nectin-4 in invasive bladder urothelial carcinoma (BUC) tissue and its clinical significance, so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment of BUC. [Methods] Nectin-4 expression in 60 cases of invasive BUC and 40 cases of chronic inflammation of bladder mucosa was detected with immunohistochemical staining (IHC) and RNAscope.The results of the two methods were analyzed and compared, and the relationship between the two methods and the clinicopathological characteristics of invasive BUC was discussed.The correlation between the protein expression of Nectin-4 in BUC tissues, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) and programmed death factor ligand 1 (PD-L1) was analyzed. [Results] The positive protein expression rates of Nectin-4 detected by IHC were 78.33%(47/60) and 17.50% (7/40) in the invasive BUC group and inflammatory group, respectively, while the positive mRNA expression rates of Nectin-4 detected by RNAscope were 83.33% (50/60) and 12.50% (5/40), respectively.The Kappa values of Nectin-4 in the invasive BUC group and inflammatory group were 0.732 and 0.610, respectively, with general consistency.The protein expression of Nectin-4 in invasive BUC was correlated with muscular invasion, histological grade, vascular thrombus, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P<0.05). The mRNA expression of Nectin-4 in invasive BUC was correlated with max tumor diameter, muscular invasion, histological grade, vascular thrombus, lymph node metastasis and clinical stage (P<0.05). The high expression of Nectin-4 in invasive BUC was positively correlated with the expression of Her-2 (P=0.002), but not with the expression of PD-L1 (P>0.05). [Conclusion] Nectin-4 is highly expressed in invasive BUC, and is usually associated with the pathological parameters of poor prognosis.Detection of Nectin-4 expression will help to guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To explore the value of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels in diagnosis and treatment of primary hyperthyroidism. Methods 150 patients with primary hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism group) and 85 patients with hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism group) were selected as study subjects. During the same period, 60 healthy individuals were selected as control group. The levels of serum IGF-1, thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), triiodothyronine (T3) and total thyroxine (T4) were measured in the three groups. The serum visfatin levels in the three groups were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Multifactor Logistic regression analysis was used to screen for risk factors of primary hyperthyroidism. Results The levels of IGF-1, FT3, FT4, T3 and T4 in the hyperthyroidism group were significantly higher than those in the hypothyroidism and control groups, while TSH levels were significantly lower (P < 0.05). TPOAb and visfatin levels in the hyperthyroidism group were significantly higher than those in the control group, but significantly lower than those in the hypothyroidism group (P < 0.05). The serum IGF-1 levels in patients with primary hyperthyroidism before and after 3 months of treatment were (60.11±7.23) and (30.23± 3.22) μg/L, respectively, showing a statistically significant difference (t=8.436, P < 0.001). Serum FT3, FT4, T3, T4, TPOAb, IGF-1 and visfatin levels increased and serum TSH levels decreased as risk factors for primary hyperthyroidism (P < 0.05). Conclusion The level of serum IGF-1 is closely related to thyroid function and may serve as an important reference indicator for the diagnosis and monitoring of the efficacy of primary hyperthyroidism treatment.
