Oral iron is a commonly used preparation for the treatment of iron deficiency and iron-deficiency anemia in children, but its undesirable taste has become a major factor affecting clinical adherence to the medication. No studies have been conducted to evaluate the palatability of oral iron supplements. Thirteen representative oral iron supplements were selected to evaluate the palatability of oral iron supplements from different perspectives of in vivo and ex vivo by combining the electronic tongue (e-tongue) test, FaceReader facial expression analysis technology and taste interviews. E-tongue test results showed that iron dextran granlues were closest to odorless potassium chloride solution, basically free of bitterness and astringency, which was superior to the other products. FaceReader facial expression results showed that 58.7% of the subjects valued iron dextran granlues for their emotional efficacy higher than that of iron proteinsuccinylate oral solution. Among 43 participants aged ≥ 5 years, the taste preference for iron dextran granlues was 83.7%, and 83.7% of participants chose to take iron dextran granlues again. This study found that iron dextran granlues have a better taste and their flavor is more popular among children, which provides a reference for pediatric clinical use of oral iron supplementation preparations and a new idea for the evaluation of palatability of medications for children. This in vivo palatability evaluation is an investigational clinical trial that was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Beijing Children's Hospital (No. 2021-149-Y).

The paper is to establish an UPLC-MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of 19 components in Microctis Folium from different production areas. The 50% methanol was used as extraction solvent. The Agilent ZORBAX SB C18 (150 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm) column was used; mobile phase was acetonitrile - 0.1% acetic acid with gradient elution, flow rate was 0.3 mL·min^-1, colume temperature was 30 ℃, and the injection volume was 2 μL; electrospray ionizaton source was used and detected in negative ion mode. The results showed that the established UPLC-MS/MS method could well separate the 19 components, and the methodological investigation results of 19 components were good. By means of orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), 28 batches of Microctis Folium samples from different production areas can be divided into three categories, Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan are each classified into one category, and 10 signature compounds which affecting the quality differences of different production areas were screened out. The established method is accurate, reliable, sensitive and reproducible. It can provide a basis for the establishment of the quality standard of Microctis Folium, as well as for safety and quality research.

Objective To investigate the toxicokinetic differences of 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine(MDMA)and its metabolite 4,5-methylene dioxy amphetamine(MDA)in rats af-ter single and continuous administration of MDMA,providing reference data for the forensic identifica-tion of MDMA.Methods A total of 24 rats in the single administration group were randomly divided into 5,10 and 20 mg/kg experimental groups and the control group,with 6 rats in each group.The ex-perimental group was given intraperitoneal injection of MDMA,and the control group was given intraperi-toneal injection of the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group.The amount of 0.5 mL blood was collected from the medial canthus 5 min,30 min,1 h,1.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,8 h,10 h,12 h after administration.In the continuous administration group,24 rats were randomly divided into the experi-mental group(18 rats)and the control group(6 rats).The experimental group was given MDMA 7 d by continuous intraperitoneal injection in increments of 5,7,9,11,13,15,17 mg/kg per day,respectively,while the control group was given the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group by in-traperitoneal injection.On the eighth day,the experimental rats were randomly divided into 5,10 and 20 mg/kg dose groups,with 6 rats in each group.MDMA was injected intraperitoneally,and the con-trol group was injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group.On the eighth day,0.5 mL of blood was taken from the medial canthus 5 min,30 min,1 h,1.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,8 h,10 h,12 h after administration.Liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect MDMA and MDA levels,and statistical software was employed for data analysis.Results In the single-administration group,peak concentrations of MDMA and MDA were reached at 5 min and 1 h after administration,respectively,with the largest detection time limit of 12 h.In the continuous administration group,peak concentrations were reached at 30 min and 1.5 h af-ter administration,respectively,with the largest detection time limit of 10 h.Nonlinear fitting equations for the concentration ratio of MDMA and MDA in plasma and administration time in the single-administration group and continuous administration group were as follows:T=10.362C-1.183,R2=0.974 6;T=7.397 3C-0.694,R2=0.961 5(T:injection time;C:concentration ratio of MDMA to MDA in plasma).Conclusions The toxicokinetic data of MDMA and its metabolite MDA in rats,obtained through single and continuous administration,including peak concentration,peak time,detection time limit,and the relationship between concentration ratio and administration time,provide a theoretical and data foundation for relevant forensic identification.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine with the actions of invigorating spleen,activating blood and resolving phlegm in the treatment of senile insomnia based on the theory of"muscular atrophy,qi-passage blockage"recorded in Huang Di Nei Jing(The Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic,shortened as Nei Jing).Methods A total of 120 elderly patients with insomnia were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 60 cases in each group.The control group was treated with oral use of Dexzopiclone Tablets,and the observation group was treated with oral use of decoction of Chinese herbal medicine for invigorating spleen,activating blood and resolving phlegm.The course of treatment covered 4 weeks.Before and after treatment,the two groups were observed in the changes of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)score,Insomnia Severity Index(ISI)score,polysomnography(PSG)related parameters of total sleep time(TST),number of awakenings(AN)and sleep latency(SL),mean blood flow velocity of anterior cerebral artery(ACA),middle cerebral artery(MCA),and posterior cerebral artery(PCA),and serum levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT)and melatonin(MT).After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety of the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)After 4 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 93.33%(56/60),which was slightly higher than 90.00%(54/60)of the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(2)After treatment,the item scores and total scores of PSQI in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease of the scores of sleep quality,sleep time,sleep efficiency,and daytime function as well as total scores in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference of time for falling asleep and sleep disorder scores between the two groups(P＞0.05).After 4 weeks of drug withdrawal,the item scores of PSQI in the observation group continued to decrease compared with those after treatment(P＜0.05),but there was no significant difference in the control group(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the ISI scores in the two groups were decreased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the decrease in the observation group was superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).After 4 weeks of drug withdrawal,the ISI score of the observation group continued to decrease compared with that after treatment(P＜0.05),while the control group had no significant change,and the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).(4)After treatment,the PSG related parameters such as TST,AN and SL in the two groups were improved when compared with those before treatment(P＞0.05),and the improvement of TST and AN in the observation group was superior to that in the control group(P＞0.05).(5)After treatment,the mean blood flow velocity of ACA,MCA and PCA in the observation group was improved compared with that before treatment(P＜0.05),while there was no significant change in the control group compared with that before treatment(P＞0.05).The improvement of the mean blood flow velocity of ACA,MCA and PCA in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)After treatment,the levels of serum 5-HT and MT in the two groups were increased when compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the increase in the observation group was superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(7)The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 5.00%(3/60),which was slightly lower than 13.33%(8/60)in the control group,but the difference was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).Conclusion Based on the theory of"muscular atrophy,qi-passage blockage"recorded in Nei Jing,the Chinese herbal medicine for invigorating spleen,activating blood and resolving phlegm exerts certain effect in treating senile insomnia.It can effectively improve the sleep quality and daytime function of patients,enhance sleep efficiency,increase sleep time,reduce the number of awakenings,alleviate the severity of insomnia,improve brain function,and regulate the level of neurotransmitters,with remarkably long-term effect and reliable safety.

Objective To explore the clinical manifestations,endoscopic findings,histopathological changes,treatment,and prognosis of eosinophilic gastrointestinal disease(EGID)in children,with the aim of enhancing awareness among pediatricians about this condition.Methods Data of 267 children with EGID were prospectively collected from January 2019 to July 2022 at Jiangxi Children's Hospital,Hunan Children's Hospital,and Henan Children's Hospital.The age of onset,symptoms,physical signs,laboratory examination results,endoscopic findings,histopathological changes,and treatment outcomes were observed.Results Among the 267 children with EGID,the majority had mild(164 cases,61.4% )or moderate(96 cases,35.6% )clinical severity.The disease occurred at any age,with a higher prevalence observed in school-age children(178 cases).The main symptoms in infants were vomiting and hematemesis,while in toddlers,vomiting and bloody stools were prominent.Abdominal pain and vomiting were the primary symptoms in preschool and school-age children.Nearly half(49.4% )of the affected children showed elevated platelet counts on hematological examination,but there was no significant difference in platelet counts among children with mild,moderate,and severe EGID(P>0.05).Endoscopic findings in EGID children did not reveal significant specificity,and histopathological examination showed no specific structural damage.Among them,85.0% (227 cases)received acid suppression therapy,34.5% (92 cases)practiced dietary avoidance,20.9% (56 cases)received anti-allergic medication,and a small proportion(24 cases,9.0% )were treated with prednisone.Clinical symptoms were relieved in all patients after treatment,but three cases with peptic ulcers experienced recurrence after drug discontinuation.Conclusions Mild and moderate EGID are more common in children,with no specific endoscopic findings.Dietary avoidance,acid suppression therapy,and anti-allergic medication are the main treatment methods.The prognosis of EGID is generally favorable in children.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(2):139-144]

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of ibrutinib combined with venetoclax in the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(R/R DLBCL),and to analyze the factors affecting efficacy and prognosis.Methods:Clinical data of 62 R/R DLBCL patients admitted to our hospital from August 2017 to July 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients were treated with ibrutinib combined with venetoclax.The clinical efficacy and drug safety were evaluated.The effects of clinical features on short-term efficacy and overall survival(OS)were analyzed.Results:The objective response rate(ORR)of 62 patients was 48.39％.The extranodal lesions,intermediate-high/high risk of NCCN-IPI,intermediate-high/high risk of IPI,progression or recurrence time＜12 months were the risk factors affecting the short-term efficacy of chemotherapy in R/R DLBCL patients(all P＜0.05).The most common adverse effect was neutropenia(75.19％),and the incidence of grade Ⅱ-Ⅳ neutropenia was 52.71％.The l-year and 2-year OS rates of 62 patients were 48.51％and 31.56％,respectively,and the median OS time was 12 months.Multivariate analysis showed that objective remission after chemotherapy[HR=0.080(95％CI:0.028-0.235)]was a protective factor for OS in R/R DLBCL patients,and intermediate-high/high risk of NCCN-IPI[HR=4.828(95％CI:1.546-15.080)]was an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of R/R DLBCL patients.Conclusion:Ibrutinib combined with venetoclax can be used as an effective treatment regimen for R/R DLBCL,and NCCN-IPI can be used as a prognostic indicator.Objective remission after chemotherapy is beneficial for R/R DLBCL patients to achieve better OS.

Objective:To investigate the impact of ionizing radiation(IR)on the structure and function of the testis and pro-vide some strategies for the prevention and treatment of IR-induced damage(IRD).Methods:Using radiation dose simulation,se-men analysis,hormone testing,electron microscopy and single-cell transcriptome sequencing,we assessed and analyzed a case of IRD.We established a mouse model of IRD to validate the results of single-cell sequencing,and investigated the specific biological mecha-nisms of IRD and potential strategies for its intervention.Results:IR at 1-2 Gy significantly reduced sperm concentration and mo-tility,which gradually recovered after 12 months but the percentage of morphologically normal sperm remained low.It also caused im-balanced levels of various steroid hormones,decreased testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate,increased progesterone,prolac-tin,luteinizing hormone,and follicle-stimulating hormone.Electron microscopy revealed damages to the testis structure,including loss of germ cells,atrophy of the seminiferous tubules,nuclear membrane depression of the spermatocytes,mitochondrial atrophy and de-formation,and reduction of mitochondrial cristae.Single-cell sequencing indicated significant changes in the function of the Leydig cells and macrophages and disrupted lipid-related metabolic pathways after IRD.Administration of L-carnitine to the mouse model im-proved lipid metabolism disorders and partially alleviated IRD to the germ cells.Conclusion:Ionizing radiation can cause disorders of testicular spermatogenesis and sexual hormones and inhibit lipid metabolism pathways in Leydig cells and macrophages.Improving lipid metabolism can alleviate IRD to germ cells.

Liposome nanomedicine is a new drug preparation with nano scale, which is encapsulated by lipid bilayer vesicle structure. As a drug delivery carrier, liposome has many advantages such as good biocompatibility, biodegradation in vivo and strong targeting. The application of liposome nano drug delivery system can improve the pharmacokinetic behavior and efficacy of some drugs in vivo to a certain extent, and reduce toxic and side effects. After liposome nanomedicine enter into the body, free drugs will be released, so there will be loaded drugs and free drugs in the body. Loaded drugs are drug repositories, free drugs are related to their efficacy and adverse reactions. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics study of liposomes should focus on both loaded drugs and free drugs. Quantitative analysis of free drugs, liposome particles and their materials is a big challenge. The bioanalysis and pharmacokinetics of liposome nanomedicines will be introduced and discussed in this review. We hope this review will provide a reference for the development of liposome nanomedicine.

Abstract: Objective To understand the mental health literacy level of residents in Hainan Province, and to provide evidence for promoting mental health promotion and improving the mental health literacy level of residents. Methods Multi-stage random sampling method was used to investigate The National Mental Health Literacy Questionnaire among 6 895 residents in 12 districts including Changjiang, Chengmai, Dongfang, Ledong, Lingshui, Haikou Longhua District, Haikou Meilan District, Qionghai, Sanya, Tunchang, Wenchang and Wuzhishan. Results　In the survey 6 895 residents in 12 counties, cities, districts of Hainan Province, 365 of them reached the standard of mental health with the standard rate of 5.3%. The mental health knowledge score was (54.00±17.02) with the standard rate of 7.7%; the self-assessment score was (26.11±3.99) with the standard rate of 75.9%; the score of mental health skill was (26.22±7.25) with the standard rate of 44.8%. The mental health literacy level of medical workers was the highest, with the standard rate of 13.5% (112/830), and the mental health literacy level of farmers was the lowest, with the standard rate of 0.8% (13/1 647). The results of unconditional Logistic regression showed that the factors entering the regression model included educational background (OR=2.268), personal monthly income (OR=1.129), gender (OR=1.302), household registration (OR=0.776), and whether they had participated in mental health related courses OR training (OR=0.511). The higher the educational background and personal monthly income, the higher the psychological quality. The mental health of women was higher than that of men, and that of urban was higher than that of rural, and those who had participated in mental health related courses were higher than those who had not. Conclusions The mental health literacy level of Hainan residents is at a low level, and the influencing factors are multifaceted. It is suggested to strengthen the mental health monitoring comprehensively and carry out rich health education service mode for different groups.
