The focus of green analytical chemistry (GAC) is to minimize the negative impacts of analytical procedures on human safety, human health, and the environment. Several factors, such as the reagents used, sample collection, sample processing, instruments, energy consumed, and the quantities of hazardous materials and waste generated during analytical procedures, need to be considered in the evaluation of the greenness of analytical assays. In this study, we propose a greenness evaluation metric for analytical methods (GEMAM). The new greenness metric is simple, flexible, and comprehensive. The evaluation criteria are based on both the 12 principles of GAC (SIGNIFICANCE) and the 10 factors of sample preparation, and the results are presented on a 0-10 scale. The GEMAM calculation process is easy to perform, and its results are easy to interpret. The output of GEMAM is a pictogram that can provide both qualitative and quantitative information based on color and number.

Objective To investigating the usage and changing trend of new anti-tumor drugs for respiratory system of 121 hospitals after the implementation of relevant policies insurance negotiation in China from 2019 to 2022,explore the development tendency of new anti-tumor drugs in hospitals under the medical reform policy and provide references for the rational use and standardized management of new anti-tumor drugs.Methods Based on the anti-tumour drug for respiratory system varieties in the Guidelines for the Clinical Application of Novel Anti-tumour Drugs Version 2022,descriptive statistical analysis was applied to retrieve data on the use of new anti-tumour drugs for respiratory system in 121 hospitals from 2019 to 2022,and drug dosage form,amount,drug frequency(DDDs),average daily cost(DDC)and drug ranking ratio(B/A)were statistically analyzed.Results The number of users and the proportion of new anti-tumour drugs for respiratory system used in 121 hospitals in China showed a year-on-year increasing trend from 2019 to 2022.In different cities of China,the drug use amount of Guangzhou,Beijing,Hangzhou and Zhengzhou was relatively large.In terms of drug use,small-molecule targeted drugs were still the main new anti-tumor drugs,while macromolecule targeted drugs showed a downward trend,and immunotherapy drugs showed a gradual upward trend.In terms of the amount of use,the top drugs in the four years were ecitinib,aletinib,gefitinib and oxitinib.The small molecule targeted drugs included in the national insurance negotiations showed increasing use and a decreasing amount of money spent.The ranking of DDDs was basically stable,with fluctuations in individual varieties.The DDC values of small molecule targeted drugs had significantly decreased,while the DDC values of immunotherapy drugs were relatively high.From 2021 to 2022,the B/A value of the novel anti-tumor drugs was most respiratory tumors was close to 1,and the varieties located at 0.8 to 1.2 accounted for 61.5％of the total drugs.Conclusion At present,the selection of new anti-tumor drugs for respiratory system is still dominated by small molecule targeted drugs and the use of immunotherapy drugs is increasing.The synchronization of the amount and frequency of most drugs has increased.The adjustment of the medical insurance catalog and the implementation of policies such as national negotiation effectively promote the decrease of the amount of drug use and the improvement of drug trend.

Objective: Hypertrophy ligamentum flavum (LFH) is a common cause of lumbar spinal stenosis, resulting in significant disability and morbidity. Although long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been associated with various biological processes and disorders, their involvement in LFH remains not fully understood. Methods: Human ligamentum flavum samples were analyzed using lncRNA sequencing followed by validation through quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. To explore the potential biological functions of differentially expressed lncRNA-associated genes, Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analyses were performed. We also studied the impact of lncRNA PARD3-AS1 on the progression of LFH in vitro. Results: In the LFH tissues when compared to that in the nonhypertrophic ligamentum flavum (LFN) tissues, a total of 1,091 lncRNAs exhibited differential expression, with 645 upregulated and 446 downregulated. Based on GO analysis, the differentially expressed transcripts primarily participated in metabolic processes, organelles, nuclear lumen, cytoplasm, protein binding, nucleic acid binding, and transcription factor activity. Moreover, KEGG pathway analysis indicated that the differentially expressed lncRNAs were associated with the hippo signaling pathway, nucleotide excision repair, and nuclear factor-kappa B signaling pathway. The expression of PARD3-AS1, RP11-430G17.3, RP1-193H18.3, and H19 was confirmed to be consistent with the sequencing analysis. Inhibition of PARD3-AS1 resulted in the suppression of fibrosis in LFH cells, whereas the overexpression of PARD3-AS1 promoted fibrosis in LFH cells in vitro. Conclusion This study identified distinct expression patterns of lncRNAs that are linked to LFH, providing insights into its underlying mechanisms and potential prognostic and therapeutic interventions. Notably, PARD3-AS1 appears to play a significant role in the pathophysiology of LFH.

Aim To investigate the effect of ellagic acid (EA) on cognitive function in APP/PS 1 double- transgenic mice, and to explore the regulatory mechanism of ellagic acid on the level of oxidative stress in the hippocampus of double-transgenic mice based on the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/glycogen synthase kinase-3 (PI3K/AKT/GSK-3 β) signaling pathway. Methods Thirty-two SPF-grade 6-month-old APP/PS 1 double transgenic mice were randomly divided into four groups, namely, APP/PS 1 group, APP/PS1 + EA group, APP/PS1 + LY294002 group, APP/PS 1 + EA + LY294002 group, with eight mice in each group, and eight SPF-grade C57BL/6J wild type mice ( Wild type) were selected as the blank control group. The APP/PS 1 + EA group was given 50 mg · kg
