ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Bushao Tiaozhi capsules (BSTZ) ameliorate hyperlipidemia based on untargeted metabolomics and targeted bile acid quantification. MethodsA rat model of hyperlipidemia was established with a high-fat diet. The rats were randomized into five groups: normal control, model, atorvastatin calcium (1.8 mg·kg-1), and low-dose (2.88 g·kg-1) and high-dose (5.76 g·kg-1) BSTZ groups. All treatments were administered for four consecutive weeks. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were measured by biochemical assays. Hepatic histopathological changes were evaluated via hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and lipid droplet deposition was assessed by oil red O staining. Integrated untargeted metabolomics and targeted bile acid quantification were employed to investigate BSTZ-induced alterations in hepatic metabolic profile and bile acid profile. Additionally, correlation analyses were conducted between differential bile acids and lipid parameters to identify key bile acids. ResultsCompared with the normal control group, the model group exhibited elevated serum TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (P<0.01) and a reduced HDL-C level (P<0.01), along with marked hepatic steatosis and extensive lipid droplet deposition. Compared with the model group, all BSTZ treatment groups showed decreased TC, TG, and LDL-C levels (P<0.01) and increased HDL-C levels (P<0.01), accompanied by notably alleviated hepatic steatosis and lipid deposition. Untargeted metabolomics and targeted bile acid quantification revealed that BSTZ significantly remodeled the hepatic bile acid profile, characterized by elevated levels of secondary bile acids (DCA, HDCA, TDCA, and TLCA) and reduced levels of primary bile acids (CDCA and TCDCA). Correlation analyses further demonstrated strong associations between differential bile acids and lipid parameters: elevated secondary bile acids were negatively correlated with serum TC, TG, and LDL-C levels, whereas primary bile acids were positively correlated with these parameters. ConclusionBSTZ can ameliorate dyslipidemia and hepatic lipid accumulation in hyperlipidemic rats by regulating hepatic bile acid homeostasis, which provides metabolic clues for subsequent mechanism validation.

Personalized information service has become an important interest in medical library due to the rapid development of Internet technology. The SOA framework-based personalized information service system architecture was proposed by analyzing the contents and characteristics of personalized information service in medical library, which is characterized by standards, loose couple, low cost modification and operating maintenance, and can thus ensure both personalized information service and daily professional activities in medical library.

Objective To investigate clinical features,diagnosis,clearance strategies and prognosis of intracranial foreign bodies.Methods Twenty patients with intracranial foreign bodies were analyzed retrospectively,together with review of the related literatures.Results Twenty patients underwent craniotomy for intracranial foreign body removal under guidance of preoperative CT and X-ray localizations and intraoperative C-arm X-ray machine and ultrasound localizations.A total of 35 foreign bodies were removed.One patient underwent second surgical resection after the incomplete removal due to displacement of intracranial foreign bodies.According to Glasgow outcome score (GOS) at discharge,the outcomes were good (GOS =4-5 points) in 16 patients,poor (GOS =2-3 points) in three and death (GOS =1 point) in one.Conclusions CT and X-ray locations before surgery and C-ann X-ray machine and ultrasound locations in operation avail the removal of foreign bodies by craniotomy.In the meantime,prognosis is satisfactory.
