OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of different drying aids on the hygroscopic property of extract powder of modified Liujunzi decoction （MLJZD）， and screen the best drying aid. METHODS MLJZD extract was mixed with β-cyclodextrin， microcrystalline cellulose， lactose， arabic gum， maltodextrin， corn starch， mannitol， dextrin， soluble starch and pre-gelatinized starch at the mass ratio of 1∶0.3 and 1∶0.5， respectively. The extract powder was prepared after vacuum drying. Physical fingerprints were established with 8 physical indexes， including moisture content， bulk density， vibrating-solid density， gap rate， Carr index， Hausner ratio， angle of rest and hygroscopicity， and then similarity evaluation was performed. The matrix hotspot map was drawn to analyze the influence of physical indexes on hygroscopicity. The moisture absorption rate of MLJZD extract powder was measured at room temperature for 2， 4， 8， 10 h and 1， 2， 3， 7 d. The moisture absorption rate-time curve was drawn， and the best auxiliary materials were selected by comparison. RESULTS The similarity evaluation results of physical fingerprint showed that the prepared MLJZD extract powder were stable and the similarities were above 0.90. The matrix hotspot analysis showed that there was significant correlation between bulk density and vibratory density and the moisture absorption rate of the MLJZD extract powder （P＜0.05）. The moisture absorption rate-time curve analysis showed that the moisture absorption rate of MLJZD extract powder prepared with the mass ratio of 1∶0.5 was lower than prepared with the mass ratio of 1∶0.3. Under both ratios， lactose showed the best drying aid effect， followed by soluble starch and mannitol. CONCLUSIONS Lactose， as the drying aid （under the mass ratio of 1∶0.5）， can obviously improve the hygroabsorbance effect of the extract powder of MLJZD， which provides a reference for the selection of auxiliary materials for MLJZD solid preparations.

Background: Dust generated during the processing of building materials enterprises can pose a serious health risk. The study aimed to compare and analyze the results of ART and the Monte Carlo model for the dust exposure assessment in building materials enterprises, to derive the application scope of the two models. Methods: First, ART and the Monte Carlo model were used to assess the exposure to dust in each of the 15 building materials enterprises. Then, a comparative analysis of the exposure assessment results was conducted. Finally, the model factors were analyzed using correlation analysis and the scope of application of the models was determined. Results: The results show that ART is mainly influenced by four factors, namely, localized controls, segregation, dispersion, surface contamination, and fugitive emissions, and applies to scenarios where the workplace information of the building materials enterprises is specific and the average dust concentration is greater than or equal to 1.5 mg/m3. The Monte Carlo model is mainly influenced by the dust concentration in the workplace of building materials enterprises and is suitable for scenarios where the dust concentration in the workplace of the building materials enterprises is relatively uniform and the average dust concentration is less than or equal to 6mg/m3. Conclusion ART is most accurate when workplace information is specific and average dust concentration is > 1.5 mg/m3; whereas, The Monte Carlo model is the best when dust concentration is homogeneous and average dust concentration is < 6 mg/m3.

Objective:To explore the application value of silent MR angiography (MRA) in imaging of brain arteriovenous malformation (BAVM) in children.Methods:A total of 20 children with BAVM confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were retrospectively collected. All children were imaged by silent MRA and time-of-flight MRA (TOF MRA) in the same examination. The image quality of feeding artery, nidus and drainage vein of BAVM was evaluated using the four-point method. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was utilized to compare the image quality scores between silent MRA and TOF MRA. Weighted Kappa statistics used to evaluate the inter-modality agreement of silent MRA and TOF MRA with DSA in displaying of angioarchitecture characteristics and determination of Spetzler-Martin grading.Results:Among the 20 BAVMs, significant differences in image quality scores of the nidus (2.75±0.55 versus 2.20±0.70) and drainage vein (2.60±0.68 versus 2.20±0.77) were observed between silent MRA and TOF MRA ( Z=-3.05, P=0.002; Z=-2.13, P=0.033, respectively). The agreement between silent MRA and DSA was excellent in nidus size grading, deep venous drainage, associated aneurysm and SM grading (Kappa 0.91, 1.00, 0.83 and 0.93, respectively); The agreement between TOF MRA and DSA was fair to moderate (Kappa 0.46, 0.59, 0.35 and 0.47, respectively). Conclusions:Silent MRA showes better image quality compared to TOF MRA and improves the evaluation of angioarchitecture characteristics and Spetzler-Martin grading of BAVMs in children.

Objective:To explore the difference of the vessel and plaque characteristics, myocardial perfusion and cardiac function between patients with ischemia with non-obstructive coronary artery disease (INOCA) and obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods:From July 2021 to June 2022, 101 patients with angina were referred to dynamic computed tomography myocardial perfusion (CTP) and coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and retrospectively included in our hospital. Based on the results of CTP and CCTA, patients were divided into INOCA (27 cases), moderate obstructive CAD (26 cases) and severe obstructive CAD (48 cases). The anatomical coronary artery stenosis, plaque characteristics and myocardial perfusion features of all patients were analyzed. Furthermore, left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), and global radial strain (GRS) were obtained on full-phase reconstruction CCTA image by using Medis Suite 3.2 postprocessing software. Multigroup analysis used one way ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis H test. Results:Patients with INOCA were younger than patients with moderate and severe obstructive CAD ( P<0.001). INOCA patients (7.4%, 2/27) had lower rate of positive remodeling than both moderate (57.7%, 15/26, P<0.001) and severe obstructive CAD patients (33.3%, 16/48, P=0.017). The percentage of ischemic myocardium volume in patients with INOCA were similar with those in patients with severe CAD (all P>0.05), but significantly higher than those in patients with moderate CAD (all P<0.05). No significant difference in terms of GLS was detected between patients with INOCA [-17.4% (-21.6%, -11.6%)] and severe CAD [-17.6% (-21.9%, -14.8%), P=0.536], however, patients both with INOCA and severe CAD also had higher GLS than patients with moderate obstructive CAD [-22.3% (-29.8%, -19.0%), all P<0.05]. Conclusions:Based on"one-stop-shop"CTP combined with CCTA imaging, early cardiac functional changes including abnormal myocardial perfusion and myocardial strain in INOCA patients were similar to those in patients with severe obstructive CAD and more severe than those in patients with moderate obstructive CAD.

The sequencing library was constructed by Ion AmpliSeq Library Kit Plus, and the monkeypox virus genome was sequenced using Ion Torrent GeneStudio S5 sequencer. Monkeypox virus was analyzed for genomic profiling and mutation site analysis using the online analysis tool Nextclade. The genomic sequence of the case virus in this study was compared with some sequences in the GIASID monkeypox virus database and a phylogenetic tree was constructed to analyze the potential origin of the case virus.Results:The Ct values of monkeypox virus genes in the rash swab and oropharyngeal swab samples were 32.13 and 36.91, respectively. The rash swab sample had a reads number match of 99.99% and a genome coverage of 99.45% after whole-genome sequencing of monkeypox virus, and the sequences belonged to the IIb (West African branch) B. 1.3 type. The analysis of nucleotide mutation sites and phylogenetic tree showed that the sequences were in the same branch with four monkeypox virus genome sequences recently submitted by China and Japan in the GISAID monkeypox virus database, and had the closest evolutionary relationship with the sequence EPI_ISL_18059184 (sampled on 2023-07-03) submitted by Yunnan, China, which shared 82 single-nucleotide mutation sites, among which the sequence from Yunnan was only present in all of the shared 82 single-nucleotide mutation sites. The sequence in this study has 2 additional nucleotide mutation sites on top of the shared 82 single nucleotide mutation sites. The sequence submitted by Japan, EPI_ISL_17692269 (sampled on 2023-04-28), is more closely related in evolution, sharing 78 single nucleotide mutation sites, with 7 single nucleotide mutation site differences, and the Japanese sequence shares 78 single nucleotide mutation sites. The Japanese sequence shared 78 mutation sites with one additional nucleotide mutation site (G57786A), while the present sequence had six additional nucleotide mutation sites (G13563A, C21062T, G101241A, C142797T, G152866A, T169721A).Conclusions:The whole genome sequence of monkeypox virus of 197 084 bp was successfully obtained from a sample with low viral load, and the average. We constructed a method for sequencing and analyzing the whole genome of monkeypox virus.

Objective:To explore the effect of the wearable low-level light therapy (LLLT) device on joint pain and knee function in community patients with knee osteoarthritis.Methods:From September 2021 to February 2022, the convenience sampling was used to select 57 middle-aged and elderly patients with knee osteoarthritis who met the inclusion criteria from 8 communities in Shijiazhuang as the study subject. The patients were randomly divided into intervention group ( n=27) and placebo group ( n=30) based on the community. The intervention group used wearable LLLT device to treat bilateral knee joints, while the placebo group wore the same phototherapy device, with the same frequency and duration as the intervention group, but did not turn on the light source. The patients were investigated with the Graphical Knee Osteoarthritis Patient Self-assessment Questionnaire and knee function test, and the joint pain and knee function of the two groups of patients during the study period were compared. Results:A total of 45 patients with knee osteoarthritis in the community completed the study, including 21 in the intervention group and 24 in the placebo group. The results of the Graphical Knee Osteoarthritis Patient Self-assessment Questionnaire showed that the total pain score of the intervention group were lower than that of the placebo group at the third and eighth weeks, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.01). At the eighth week, the scores of knee rest pain, starting pain and joint chills in the intervention group were significantly lower than those in the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.01). The score of exercise pain in the third and eighth weeks showed a lower trend than that in the placebo group (0.01< P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in knee function test results between the two groups at the beginning of intervention and at the third week ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Wearable LLLT devices can relieve the joint pain in patients with knee osteoarthritis in the community, but no significant improvement was found in knee function. The effect of wearable LLLT devices still needs to be further verified by multi-center, large sample and long-term follow-up study.
