Objective The characteristics of supramolecular"imprinting template"of volatile oil of Curcuma kwangsiensis and Curcuma phaeocaulis were analyzed and studied based on the supramolecular"qixi"theory of Chinese materia medica combined with chemometrics.Methods The volatile oil of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis were extracted by steam distillation,and the fingerprint and composition information of each batch were obtained by GC-MS.Total statistical moment method was used to compare the imprinting characteristics of the"imprinting template"of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis.The core index(CI)of each batch of essential oil of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis was calculated,and the topological characteristics of types of"imprinting template"of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis were compared by chemometrics.Results There was no significant difference in the extraction rate of volatile oil between C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis.The average values of total zero order moment(AUCT)were(1.907±0.177)×108,(1.979±0.413)×108 μV·s,respectively,showing that there was no significant difference in the total content of volatile oil between the two groups.The mean values of the total first order moment(MCRTT)were(30.969±0.962)and(33.198±0.409)min.The average value of total second order moment(VCRTT)was(56.176±11.368)and(43.891±4.113)min2,respectively,indicating that there were significant differences in the content ratio and species of volatile oils between the two groups.The similarity of total statistical moments of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis was mostly lower than the defined value,indicating that the chemical composition and composition ratio of the volatile oil were different.Principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis could obviously divide C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis into two categories.Through the analysis of P value and VIP value,the CI values of Xvp 4th order,Xvpc 5th order,Xvpc 6th order,Xvpc 7th order,Xvc 3rd order,Xvpc 4th order were the main difference values of C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis.Conclusion Through the characterization of"imprinting property"and"topological characteristics"of the supramolecular"imprinting template"and combining with chemometric analysis,it is possible to successfully distinguish C.kwangsiensis and C.phaeocaulis,and find the different CI values between two"imprinting templates".

OBJECTIVE To analyze the impurities in cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution, and explore the existing problems of the production process, and provide a reference for improvement of the product quality. METHODS The related substances of 3 manufactures’ cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution were determined by HPLC. The main impurities were studied qualitively and quantitatively. The chromatographic separation was performed on a CAPCELL PAK C18 (4.6 mm×250 mm, 5 μm) column with a mixture of acetonitrile-water(17 : 83)(phosphoric acid adjusted to pH 1.5) and acetonitrile-water(35 : 65)(phosphoric acid adjusted to pH 1.5) as mobile phase by gradient elution. Detection wavelength was set at 230 nm. The confirmatory structure of the main impurities was determined by chromatography-mass spectrometry, the compatibility test between raw materials and pharmaceutical excipients was established to determine the pathway of impurities. The chromatographic separation was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC HSS-C18(150 mm×2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column with 20 mmol·L–1 ammonium acetate(with 0.1% acetic acid)-methanol as mobile phase by gradient elution. RESULTS There might be 5 impurities in cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution. The two main related substances detected in cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution from 3 enterprises were cetirizine propylene glycol esters(a pair of diastereomers) and cetirizine glycerides(a pair of diastereomers). The emergence of impurities was highly relater to the formulation process. CONCLUSION The formulation technology of cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution need to be improved, and the active ingredients are incompatible with excipients. The related substances of cetirizine hydrochloride oral solution should be controlled from formulation design to improve the quality.

Objective:To compare the effects of leukocyte-poor platelet-rich plasma (Lp-PRP) and leukocyte-rich platelet-rich plasma (Lr-PRP) on dorsal wound healing in rats.Methods:Thirty-six male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into Lp-PRP group, Lr-PRP group and control group, each containing twelve rats. Venous blood was drawn and the Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP were prepared separately using a centrifugal method. Circular full-thickness skin defect wounds (15 mm in diameter) were created on the backs of the rats in the three groups. The wounds were then treated with 100 μl Lp-PRP, Lr-PRP and saline, respectively. At 7 and 14 days post-operation, the wounds were photographed, and Image J software was used to calculate the wound area rate (postoperative wound area/wound area at modeling time × 100%). At 14 days post-operation, the total neo-epithelium length and collagen deposition rate of the wounds were evaluated using HE and Masson staining, respectively. At 7 days post-operation, the relative expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the wounds was detected by Western blotting, and the number of CD31 positive microvessels in the wounds was examined by immunohistochemistry. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 28.0. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the three groups, and Tukey’s test was used for pairwise comparisons. A significance level of P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Blood analysis revealed that the platelet concentrations in the prepared Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP were 4.1 times and 4.5 times that of whole blood, respectively ( P<0.01), with no significant difference between the two PRPs ( P>0.05). The leukocyte concentration in Lp-PRP was undetectable, while in Lr-PRP, it was 3.5 times that of whole blood ( P<0.01). The wound area rate at 7 and 14 days post-operation, the total neo-epithelium length and collagen deposition rate at 14 days post-operation, as well as the relative expression of VEGF and the number of CD31-positive microvessels at 7 days post-operation in the Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP groups were superior to those in the control group (all P<0.01). However, there was no significant difference between the two PRP groups (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Both Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP promote dorsal wound healing in rats by enhancing re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis. The impacts of Lp-PRP and Lr-PRP on promoting wound healing are comparable and not influenced by the presence of leukocytes in PRPs.

Objective:To investigate the effect of S100 calcium-binding protein A9(S100A9)activation of nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB)on the upregulation of toll-like receptor 7(TLR7)expression and the release of inflammatory factors in microglia,as well as its underlying mechanism.Methods:The viability of BV2 microglia was assessed using CCK-8 kit.Transcriptome sequencing was employed to compare differential genes(DEGs)and identify target genes from the pool of differentially expressed genes.This analysis was complemented by GO analysis,KEGG enrichment analysis and the STRING database.The expression of TLR7 mRNA was verified by real time RT-PCR.The expressions of CD68 and CD206 were detected using immunofluorescence.The expressions of CD68,CD206,TLR7,p65,and p-p65 were detected using Western Blot.The level of interleukin 6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNF-α)were verified by ELISA.Results:Moderate concentrations of S100A9 had no inhibitory effect on microglial viability.Compared to the control group,the experimental group showed a significant increase in the expression level of CD68 pro-tein,while the CD206 protein was decreased.This suggests that S100A9 promotes the activation of BV2 microglia into pro-inflammatory types.TAK-242,an inhibitor of toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),significantly inhibited the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6 after S100A9 stimulated BV2 cells.Activation of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway promoted the ex-pression of TLR7 protein.Conclusion:The moderate concentration of S100A9 can promote the polarization of microglia towards a proinflammatory direction.It also promotes the expression of TLR7 and the release of various inflammatory factors,including TNF-α and IL-6,through the activation of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway.This activation has an obvious proinflammatory effect.

Centenarians are known as the "model population" in the study of healthy aging. Understanding their characteristics of health and longevity and its related influencing factors would facilitate the exploration of the possible path to achieve health and longevity under the background of population aging in China. In recent years, the population based observational studies, including China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study (CHCCS), have found the main health characteristics of centenarians and their relationship with quality of life. This paper summarizes the relevant research results from CHCCS in recent years, and compare them with the results of similar domestic studies. The main health indicators include blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose, hemoglobin, body measurement and renal function. The health outcomes including diet, nutrition, health-related quality of life, activities of daily living, geriatric syndrome. The results are expected to provide epidemiological evidence for the development of healthy aging policies.

Objective:To explore the association between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and all-cause death in the centenarians in Hainan Province.Methods:The study was based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study, a total of 1 002 centenarians were included in the baseline survey, the follow up was conducted to collect the information about their death outcome. The association between baseline PTH level and all-cause death was analyzed by Cox proportional risk regression model using continuous variables, dichotomous variables, and quad variables as independent variables of the centenarians.Results:As of May 31 st, 2021, a total of 522 centenarians had died in the follow up period, the median of the follow up time was 4.16 (1.31,5.04) years, and the mortality rate was 52.10%. After fully adjusting the covariates, the multiple Cox proportional hazards regression analyses showed that the risk of all-cause death increased by 3.7% for every 10 pg/ml increase in PTH value, the HR was 1.037 (95% CI: 1.007-1.067) in all the centenarians. The risk of death in the centenarians in the highest PTH group was 1.458 (95% CI: 1.131-1.878) times higher than that in the lowest PTH group. Conclusions:Higher parathyroid hormone level was associated with the elevated risk for all-cause death in the centenarians in Hainan. PTH can be used as a reference index for the prediction of the death risk of long-lived elderly in community.

Objective:To examine the association between depression and all-cause death in centenarians in Hainan Province.Methods:Based on China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study, 1 002 centenarians with integral data were included in the baseline survey, follow up was conducted to collect the information about their survival status and death outcome. Depression was evaluated by the 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) and based on the evaluation scores, the mental status of the centenarians was classified as: severe depressive disorder (MDD; score ≥10), minor depressive disorder (MnDD; score 6-9), and normal status (score ≤5). Multivariable-adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression models was used to estimate the hazard ratios ( HRs) and 95% CIs. Results:As of May 31 st, 2021, a total of 522 deaths had been reported, with a mortality density of 152.39/1 000 person-years and a median follow up time M( Q1, Q3) of 4.16 (1.31, 5.04) years, in the centenarians. After adjusting the factors of socio-demographic characteristics and lifestyle, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the risk of all-cause mortality increased by 3.1% for every 1-point increase in GDS-15 score ( HR=1.031, 95% CI: 1.002-1.061). Compared with centenarians with normal status, the risk of mortality in the centenarians with MDD increased by 35.9% ( HR=1.359, 95% CI: 1.023-1.806), the centenarians with MDD had an average 1.94 years of life lost. Among the female centenarians, the risk of mortality in MnDD group and MDD group increased by 29.3% ( HR=1.293, 95% CI: 1.053-1.590) and 42.3% ( HR=1.423, 95% CI: 1.047-1.935) compared with normal group, those with MDD had an average 1.71 years of life lost. Conclusions:Depression was related to the increased risk of all-cause death and life lost in the centenarians in Hainan.

Objective:To describe and analyze the relationship between traditional and new obesity related anthropometric indicators and all-cause death in centenarians in Hainan, the traditional and new obesity related anthropometric indicators included BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist hip ratio (WHR), waist height ratio, calf circumference (CC), waist-calf ratio (WCR), lipid accumulation product (LAP), visceral adiposity index (VAI), Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), a body shape index (ABSI), a body shape index of Chinese (CABSI) and body roundness index.Methods:A total of 1 002 centenarians in Hainan were selected by cluster sampling. The M( Q1,Q3) follow-up time was 4.16 (1.31, 5.04) years and the outcome was all-cause death. Multiple Cox regression model was used to analyze the relationship between the obesity related anthropometric indicators and all-cause death, and the area under receiver operating characteristic curve was used for comparison. Results:In all the centenarians, CC had the strongest power to predict death, with area under curve (AUC) of 0.61 (95% CI:0.57-0.64), the gender specific results were consistent with that in overall population ( P<0.05), followed by WCR with AUC of 0.58, and then BMI, LAP and WC with AUC of 0.55, 0.55 and 0.54 respectively, while CABSI, WHR and VAI had the weaker power to predict death with AUC of 0.51, 0.50 and 0.50 respectively. Conclusions:This was the first study to prospectively compare and analyze the association between 12 obesity related anthropometric indicators and all-cause death in a large sample cohort of centenarians in China. It was found that CC had the best prediction power for death, and the risk for death decreased with the increase of CC value in a dose-response manner. It is suggested that CC can be used as a reference index for death risk monitoring in the elderly.

Objective:To understand the associations of various levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels and related factors with all-cause death in the centenarians in Hainan Province.Methods:The data were obtained from China Hainan Centenarian Cohort Study, a prospective cohort study which included 1 002 centenarians. Cox proportional risk regression models were used to analyze the associations of blood pressure and related factors with all-cause death in the centenarians.Results:As of May 31, 2021, with the median of the follow-up time of 4.16 years, and the mortality density had reach 15.24 per 100 person-years. After grouping by SBP and DBP quartiles, the Q1 of SBP and Q2 of DBP caused the lowest mortality density (12.73 per 100 person-years and 14.10 per 100 person-years relatively). In all the centenarians, compared with the Q1 of SBP (≤137 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), Q2, Q3 and Q4 were all positively associated with all-cause death. In the female population, the HRs of SBP's Q2, Q3 and Q4 were 1.343, 1.355 and 1.420 respectively ( Q1 as reference), and the HRs of DBP's Q1, Q3 and Q4 were 1.468, 1.800 and 1.504 respectively ( Q2 as reference), showing a roughly U-shaped association. Interactive analysis showed multiplicative interaction between SBP and BMI. Conclusions:In the centenarians in Hainan, different levels of systolic and diastolic blood pressure were associated with all-cause death. In the centenarians, DBP might have a suitable level or range in which the risk of death is relatively low. Different BMI status might affect the associations of blood pressure levels with death outcomes.
