Objective:To establish the quality standard of Galla Turcica standard decoction; To provide a reference for the quality evaluation of its decoction granules.Methods:The moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, and extract of Galla Turcica were assessed according to the guidelines specified in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (Volume Ⅳ); high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed to quantify the gallic acid content in sixteen batches of Galla Turcica and standard decoction, from which the transfer rate was calculated; the paste rate, moisture, and extract yield were quantitatively analyzed, establishing the comprehensive fingerprint of Galla Turcica standard decoction. The quantitative value transfer rules of common peaks from medicinal materials to standard decoction were studied through similarity evaluation and stoichiometric analysis. Results:The gallic acid content of the sixteen batches of Galla Turcica standard decoction ranged from 76.79 mg/g to 115.04 mg/g, the range of transfer rate was 24.02% to 47.82%, the extraction rate was 34.04% to 63.23%, the moisture was 1.11% to 2.06%, and the extract was 94.44% to 101.75%. A total of nine characteristic peaks were identified in the fingerprints of the sixteen batches of Galla Turcica and standard decoction, and four characteristic peaks were identified: gallic acid (GA), 1, 2, 3, 6 - tetragalloylglucose (TeGG), ellagic acid (EA) and 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, - pentagalloylglucose (PGG). Clustering analysis revealed that at a measurement distance of fifteen, the sixteen batches could be grouped into two categories. Principal component analysis (PCA) showed that three principal components were extracted with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 84.204%, which could represent most of the information of the samples.Conclusions:The standard decoction preparation process developed in this study adheres to the requirements of traditional decoction methods and has proven to be both effective and feasible. This method can be used for the research and quality evaluation of standard decoction of Galla Turcica, and provide a basis for subsequent formulation granules and related research.

Objective:To analyze the current status, influencing factors and action pathways of quality of life in patients with cardiovascular disease.Methods:From July 2023 to June 2024, a convenience sampling method was used to obtain 2 702 patients with cardiovascular disease from 9 hospitals in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.The general information questionnaires, item short form health survey, self-rating depression scale, self-rating anxiety scale, type D personality scale-14, and type A behavior pattern scale were used for investigation.SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 softwares were used for data statistical analysis.The current status of quality of life were analyzed through descriptive statistics, the influencing factors of quality of life were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis models, and the relationship between statistical variables was analyzed through paths.Results:The overall quality of life score of patients with cardiovascular disease was (59.29±17.59).Compared with the domestic normal population norm, the 8 factors had statistically significant differences ( t=16.50-44.16, all P<0.001).The results of multiple regression analysis showed that age, marital status, low per capita monthly income, lack of exercise, irregular daily life, poor appetite, unhealthy diet, poor sleep quality, hypertension, coronary heart disease, chronic heart failure, heart valve disease, multiple types of medication taken daily, anxiety level, depression level, type D personality, and type A personality all had negative predictive effects on quality of life ( B=-0.862--0.205, all P<0.05).Demographic and life factors affected the quality of life through 4 paths, and their direct effect and indirect effect were -0.183, 0.224 respectively (there was a masking effect).Disease-related factors affected life through 2 paths, and its direct effect and indirect effect were -0.341, 0.255 respectively (there was a masking effect).Psychological factors directly and negatively affected the quality of life through one path, and its effect value was -0.651. Conclusion:The quality of life of patients with cardiovascular disease is generally at a moderate to low level.The factors that affect the quality of life of patients with cardiovascular disease produce effects through multiple pathways in a multi-combined state.

Objective To explore the impact of suture configuration and fixation type on the biome-chanical strength of rotator cuff repair,using a factorial design study.Methods Sixteen fresh-frozen porcine shoulder samples were randomized into an anchorless double-row suture bridge transosseous su-tures(DS)group,an anchored double-row suture bridge transosseous-equivalent(DE)group,an an-chorless X-BOX construct transosseous sutures(XS)group,and an anchored X-BOX construct transos-seous-equivalent(XE)group,each of four,according to suture configuration(double-row suture bridge,traditional X-BOX construct)and fixation type(suture anchors,transosseous sutures).Then,their fatigue resistance(first-cycle excursion,gap length difference ratio,and the percentage of ex-posed footprints)and the failure strength(the maximum failure load and the re-tear type)were mea-sured using a biomechanical material testing machine.Results Different suture configurations affected failure strength(F=39.559,P<0.001),with the double-row suture bridge groups(693.07±58.35 N,746.76±138.57 N)showing significantly higher failure strength,compared to the traditional X-BOX groups(462.90±18.91 N,421.43±90.76 N).However,the fixation type did not significantly im-pact failure strength(F=1.161,P=0.302).Moreover,the suture configuration influenced the gap differ-ence ratio(F=7.781,P=0.016),but had no significant correlation with other fatigue resistance indica-tors(P>0.05).Meanwhile,failure strength and fatigue resistance were not correlated with fixation type,and the interaction between suture and fixation type(P>0.05).The incidence of failure types for the four suture configurations was as follows:Type I tendon tear:XS>XE>DS=DE;type II tendon tear:DS>XE>XS=DE;fixing material-related failure:DE>DS=XE=XS.Conclusion The failure strength and gap formation ratio in rotator cuff repair under fatigue loading are influenced by suture configuration,whereas no significant association has been observed with respect to fixation method,whether using transosseous sutures or suture anchors.

The microbial limit standards in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition primarily focus on total aerobic microbial count and specified objectionable microorganisms,which are insufficient for comprehensively assessing the potential risks posed by microbial contamination to drug efficacy and patient safety.With the increasing com-plexity of rising regulatory requirements,there is an urgent need to establish a scientific and systematic microbial risk assessment and control framework.In response,the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 edition,introduces a new general guideline 9212 Risk Assessment and Control of Unacceptable Microorganisms for Non-sterile Products.This chapter systematically constructs a framework for the identification and control of risks associated with unacceptable microorganisms,filling a gap in the relevant field within international pharmacopoeias.This article systematically elaborates on its key elements based on its core framework and content.It covers the development background,core concepts,testing and identification strategies,evaluation of risk characterization factors,formulation of risk control measures,and implementation pathways.The aim is to provide pharmaceutical enterprises and regulatory agencies with systematic and clear practical guidance.
