OBJECTIVE To analyze the differences in chemical components of Gardenia jasminoides before and after processing with ginger, and to evaluate the quality differences among different producing areas. METHODS Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to analyze the compositional differences of G. jasminoides before and after processing with ginger. The water content, total ash, and ethanol-soluble extract content of ginger- processed G. jasminoides were determined according to the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. High performance liquid chromatography was adopted to determine the contents of genipin gentiobioside, geniposide, crocin Ⅰ and crocin Ⅱ in ginger- processed G. jasminoides. RESULTS A total of 49 chemical components were identified from raw G. jasminoides and ginger- processed G. jasminoides, including 14 flavonoids, 15 iridoids, 10 organic acids, 2 alkaloids and 8 other compounds. Among them, 42 components were detected in raw G. jasminoides, 28 in ginger-processed G. jasminoides, and 21 components were common to both. After processing with ginger, raw G. jasminoides lost 21 components (including iridoids, flavonoids, alkaloids, and others), while 7 chemical components were added (including coumarins, organic acids, organic acid esters, and flavonoids). For the 15 batches of ginger-processed G. jasminoides, the water content ranged from 5.64% to 7.11%, total ash from 2.92% to 4.87%, and ethanol-soluble extract from 40.61% to 58.02%. The average contents of genipin gentiobioside, geniposide, crocin Ⅰ and crocin Ⅱ were 0.108 7, 0.542 2, 0.565 0, and 0.012 5 mg/g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS After processing with ginger, G. jasminoides loses 21 components, while 7 new components are added. Differences are observed in the water content, total ash, ethanol-soluble extract, and the contents of genipin gentiobioside, geniposide, crocin Ⅰ, and crocin Ⅱ of ginger-processed G. jasminoides from different producing areas. Notably, samples from Fujian exhibit high contents of genipin gentiobioside and ethanol-soluble extract, while samples from Jiangxi have a high content of crocin Ⅰ.

Naringenin (4,5,7-trihydroxyflavonoid) is a naturally occurring bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits, which plays an important role in metabolic syndrome, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. However, the pharmacological mechanism and biological function of naringenin on anti-angiogenesis and anti-tumor immunity have not yet been elucidated. Our study firstly demonstrates that naringenin inhibits the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells both in vivo and in vitro. Naringenin diminishes the ability of HCC cells to induce tube formation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and suppresses neovascularization in chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays. Meanwhile, in vivo results demonstrate that naringenin can significantly upregulate level of CD8+ T cells, subsequently increasing the level of immune-related cytokines in the tumor immune microenvironment. Mechanistically, we found that naringenin facilitate the K48-linked ubiquitination and subsequent protein degradation of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met), which reduces the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Importantly, combination therapy naringenin with PD-L1 antibody or bevacizumab provided better therapeutic effects in liver cancer. Our study reveals that naringenin can effectively inhibit angiogenesis and anti-tumor immunity in liver cancer by degradation of VEGFA and c-Met in a K48-linked ubiquitination manner. This work enlightens the potential effect of naringenin as a promising therapeutic strategy against anti-angiogenesis and anti-tumor immunity in HCC.

Objective:To analyze and discuss the characteristics of cardiopulmonary and cerebral resuscitation (CPCR) in patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA).Methods:The data of OHCA patients admitted to the directly-managed branch of the Wuxi Emergency Medical Center, covering the period from December 26, 2016, at 7:45 to August 26, 2022, at 7:45. The analysis included the first electrocardiogram (ECG), clinical characteristics, pre-hospital emergency measures, and follow-up conditions in the hospital. Based on the Glasgow-Pittsburgh cerebral function grading at discharge, patients were divided into a CPCR group (grades 1-2) and a non-CPCR group (grades 3-5). The study compared the basic conditions, resuscitation times, and vital signs after resuscitation between the two groups to evaluate the factors affecting CPCR.Results:A total of 6 040 OHCA cases were treated, 3 002 cases received pre-hospital resuscitation. The initial ECG indicated a shockable rhythm in 185 cases, with a shockable rhythm rate of 6.16%. There were 293 pre-hospital survivors, with a pre-hospital survival rate of 9.76%. 170 cases survived to be discharged, with a discharge survival rate of 5.66%. Ultimately, 44 cases achieved CPCR, accounting for 25.88% of the cases that survived to discharge. There were statistically significant differences in terms of first-witness treatment, defibrillable rhythm ratio, defibrillation, response to pain stimulation after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC), spontaneous breathing, light reflex, pulse oxygenation, and blood pressure between the CPCR and non-CPCR groups (all P<0.05). The CPCR group showed significantly higher proportions than the non-CPCR group in the defibrillatable rhythm (75.00% vs. 10.44%), undergoing defibrillation (70.46% vs. 9.24%), having spontaneous breathing after ROSC (86.36% vs. 17.27%), and having oxygen saturation >92% with systolic blood pressure >90 mmHg (86.36% vs. 39.76%).There were statistically significant differences between the CPCR and non-CPCR groups in the time from cardiac arrest (CA) to doctor reception, CA to first defibrillation, CA to ROSC, and CA to discharge or in-hospital death (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The patients with successful pre-hospital resuscitation and finally cerebral resuscitation were characterized by short times from OHCA to first medical contact (FMC) and from FMC to ROSC, appropriate pre-hospital vital sign management accompanied by partial neurological recovery, and comprehensive in-hospital neurological prognosis assessment.
