ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in chemical components of Gardeniae Fructus（GF） before and after being charred， providing data support for research on the material basis of GF Carbonisata（GFC）. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS/MS） was used to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the chemical components in GF and GFC under positive and negative ion modes with Compound Discoverer 3.3 software and online database. Then， principal component analysis and partial least squares-discriminant analysis in SIMCA14.1 software were used to analyze the MS data of each sample. Based on the principle of variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>1， differential secondary and primary metabolites before and after carbonization were screened. In addition， MetaboAnalyst website was used for pathway enrichment of Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG）， so as to provide a reference for clarifying the processing mechanism. ResultsA total of 185 components were identified， including 96 secondary metabolites and 89 primary metabolites. These components were classified into nine categories， primarily including iridoid glycosides， flavonoids， and terpenoids， their fragmentation pathways were also analyzed. Simultaneously， multivariate statistical analysis was performed on the secondary and primary metabolites， identifying 70 and 59 differential metabolites， respectively. The secondary metabolites were enriched in two metabolic pathways， including C5-branched dibasic acid metabolism and flavonoid and flavonol biosynthesis， while the primary differential metabolites were enriched in seven pathways such as linoleic acid metabolism and tyrosine metabolism. ConclusionThe chemical components of GF change significantly after carbonization， with a significant decrease in the contents of iridoid glycosides and terpenoids such as hydroxyisogeniposide， crocin Ⅱ， crocetin， and jasminoside B. while the contents of 4-hydroxycoumarin， geniposidic acid， gentiopicroside， and gardenoside methyl ester increase significantly. This change is presumed to be associated with the enhanced cooling and hemostatic effects of the processed products. The identified key components provide a basis for elucidating the material basis underlying the efficacy changes before and after carbonization.

Objective Under the operation background of Diagnosis-Intervention Packet(DIP),whether there is interaction between reducing medical cost and average length of stay combined with pre-hospitalization mode,and whether there is difference between different departments and diseases in interaction.Methods Based on real-world data from 71 453 patients admitted to Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital from July to December 2021,a two-way analysis of variance was employed.When the interaction effect was statistically significant,parameter estimation was used to determine the magnitude and direction of the interaction effect,followed by subgroup analyses by department and disease.Results Without adjustment,both total medical costs and average length of stay exhibited a negative interaction effect(P＜0.05).Subgroup analyses revealed that in terms of total medical costs,the effect size for the surgical system was 0.18％,lower than that for the internal medicine system(0.70％);for core diseases,it was 6.62％,lower than that for comprehensive diseases(7.71％).Regarding average length of stay,the effect size for the surgical system was 0.55％,better than that for the internal medicine system(0.22％);for core diseases,it was 8.70％,higher than that for comprehensive diseases(2.90％).Conclusion The combination of DIP payment reform and pre-admission management model demonstrates a synergistic effect,effectively reducing patients' medical costs and length of stay.This effect is influenced by disease complexity and the standardization of diagnostic and treatment processes.

Objective To investigate the effect of long non-coding RNA(lncRNA)potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 overlapping transcript 1(KCNQ1OT1)on oxidative glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)-induced microglia injury through regulating the miR-145-5p/Rho-associated coiled-coil forming protein kinase 1(ROCK1)axis.Methods Microglia N9 were divided into the control group(normal culture),the OGD/R group(OGD/R-induced injury),the sh-NC group(transfected with sh-NC after OGD/R-induced injury),the sh-KCNQ1OT1 group(transfected with sh-KCNQ1OT1 after OGD/R-induced injury),the sh-KCNQ1OT1+inhibitor NC group(co-transfected with sh-KCNQ1OT1 and inhibitor NC after OGD/R-induced injury),and the sh-KCNQ1OT1+miR-145-5p inhibitor group(co-transfected with sh-KCNQ1OT1 and miR-145-5p inhibitor after OGD/R-induced injury).RT-qPCR was applied to detect the expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1,miR-145-5p,and ROCK1 mRNA in cells.The expression of ROCK1 protein was detected by Western blot.CCK-8 was applied to detect the cell proliferation.Flow cytometry was applied to detect cell apoptosis.ELISA was applied to detect the levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukin-6(IL-6)in cells.The action sites of miR-145-5p with lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and ROCK1 were predicted by bioinformatics website,and their targeting relationships were verified by dual-luciferase reporter assay.Results Compared with the control group,the expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1,the expression of ROCK1 mRNA and protein,the apoptosis rate,and the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in cells were all increased,and the level of miR-145-5p and cell survival rate were all decreased in the OGD/R group(P<0.05).Compared with the OGD/R group and the sh-NC group,the expression of lncRNA KCNQ1OT1,the expression of ROCK1 mRNA and protein,the apoptosis rate,and the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in cells were all decreased,and the level of miR-145-5p and cell survival rate were all increased in the sh-KCNQ1OT1 group,with significant differences(P<0.05).Compared with the sh-KCNQ1OT1+inhibitor NC group,the expression of ROCK1 mRNA and protein,the apoptosis rate,and the levels of IL-6,TNF-α,and IL-1β in cells were all increased,and the expression of miR-145-5p and cell survival rate were all decreased in the sh-KCNQ1OT1+miR-145-5p inhibitor group,with significant differences(P<0.05).Bioinformatics website showed that miR-145-5p had targeted action sites with lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and ROCK1,and dual-luciferase reporter assay confirmed that miR-145-5p had targeting relationships with lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 and ROCK1(P<0.05).Conclusion Silencing lncRNA KCNQ1OT1 can alleviate OGD/R-induced microglia injury via upregulating the expression of miR-145-5p and targeting the down-regulation of ROCK1 expression.

Objective:To explore the effect of immobility on the quality of life in older adults.Methods:This cross-sectional study included 244 consecutive elderly patients aged 60 years and older who were admitted to the Department of Geriatrics at Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University from May 2022 to March 2023.Among the participants, 52.5%(128/244)were male and 47.5%(116/244)were female, with a mean age of 69.2±7.4 years.All participants underwent a series of assessments, including the Short Physical Performance Battery(SPPB), grip strength measurement, gait speed evaluation, and the Timed Up and Go test(TUG).The Barthel Index was employed to assess activities of daily living, while the Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short Form Health Survey(SF-36)was used to evaluate quality of life.A score of SPPB ≤ 9 was used to diagnose immobility.Results:A total of 60 older adults met the criteria for immobility.Compared to the non-immobility group, the quality-of-life scores for older adults in the immobility group were significantly lower across various dimensions, including physical functioning, role-physical, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, physical component summary, and the total SF-36 score(all P<0.05).Furthermore, a positive correlation was identified between the SPPB scores and the quality-of-life scores across the dimensions of physical functioning, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, mental health, reported health transition, physical component summary, and the total SF-36 score among patients in the immobility group(all P<0.05).Additionally, older adults in the immobility group exhibited lower grip strength, slower gait speed, and longer TUG times, as well as a higher incidence of emergencies and falls over the past year(all P<0.05). Conclusions:The poorer quality of life and physical function, along with higher rates of emergencies and falls among older adults with immobility, indicate the necessity of addressing the health consequences that immobility inflicts on this population.

Objective To study the expression levels and clinical significance of histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 4(H3K4me3),histone H3 trimethylation at lysine 27(H3K27me3)and modifying enzyme in placental tissue of patients with premature rupture of membranes(PROM)with chorioamnionitis.Methods Clinical data of 95 pregnant women treated in the Xi'an Gaoxin Hospital due to PROM from June 2021 to December 2023 were retrospectively collected,and they were divided into infected group and a non-infected group according to whether they were complicated with histological chorioamnionitis(HCA).Another 30 normal pregnant women were selected as the control group.Placental tissues of all subjects were collected and H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 levels were detected,and the expression levels of H3K4me3,H3K27me3 specific methyltransferase[mixed lineage leukemia protein-1(MLL1),Zeste enhancer homolog 2(EZH2)]and demethyltransferase[lysine-specific demethylase 5B(KDM5B),Jumonji domain-containing protein 3(JMJD3)]were detected by quantitative real-time PCR(qRT-PCR).The expression differences of H3K4me3,H3K27me3 and specific modifiers among the three groups and the correlation with the histological stage of HCA were analyzed.The Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was plotted,the Area under curve(AUC)value was calculated,and H3K4me3 was evaluated.Predictive value of H3K27me3 for concurrent HCA infection.Result Compared with the control group,the levels of H3K4me3(0.08%±0.02%,0.12%±0.03%vs 0.25%±0.06%),MLL1 mRNA(1.32±0.16,1.44±0.23 vs 2.02±0.31),and JMJD3 mRNA(0.78±0.13,0.91±0.15 vs 1.53±0.23)in the infected and non-infected groups were significantly decreased(t=10.939～19.062),while the levels of H3K27me39(0.23%±0.05%,0.15%±0.03%vs 0.10%±0.02%),EZH2 mRNA(1.96±0.26,1.85±0.25 vs 1.15±0.29)and KDM5B(1.46±0.15,1.35±0.18 vs 0.94±0.12)were significantly increased(t=6.077～14.974),and the levels in the infected group were lower/higher than those in the non-infected group(t=2.017～10.688),with statistically significant differences(all P<0.05).There was a significant negatively correlation between H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 levels in placenta tissue of PROM(r=-0.604,P<0.05).The levels of H3K4me3,MLL1 and JMJD3 were negatively correlated with the histological stages of HCA(r=-0.646,-0.489,-0.503,all P<0.05).The levels of H3K27me3,EZH2 and KDM5B were positively correlated with the histological stages of HCA(r=0.632,0.515,0.520,all P<0.05).The cutoffvalues of H3K4me3 and H3K27me3 were 0.10%and 0.19%,respectively.The AUC(95%CI)value of the combined prediction of PROM combined with HCA infection was 0.896(0.882～0.947),and the sensitivity and specificity were 92.14%and 86.23%respectively,which was significantly higher than the diagnosis of a single index.Conclusion The levels of H3K4me3,H3K27me3 and modifying enzymes in the placenta tissue of PROM are closely related to HCA infection and histological stage,which has high clinical prediction value for HCA infection and is expected to be a new biomarker for clinical diagnosis.

Oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma(OPSCC)is a malignant tumor originating from the squamous epithelium of the oro-pharyngeal mucosa,accounting for more than 90％of oropharyngeal malignancies.In recent years,human papillomavirus(HPV)infec-tion has become one of the primary etiological factors of oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma.The incidence of HPV-associated oropharyn-geal squamous carcinoma has been rising annually,with a noticeable trend toward younger populations,posing a significant threat to hu-man health.Due to the distinct biological behavior and clinical characteristics of HPV-associated oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma com-pared to its non-HPV-related counterpart,the diagnostic and treatment strategies for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma have undergone substantial changes.Prevention and screening for oropharyngeal squamous carcinoma are of critical importance.The diagnostic and treat-ment process involves multi-disciplinary collaboration,including oral and maxillofacial surgery,otolaryngology,head and neck surgery,oncology,radiology and pathology.Based on evidence from clinical practice,a comprehensive,integrated diagnostic and therapeutic ap-proach has been established,centered around the concept of"prevention,screening,diagnosis,treatment,and rehabilitation",covering the entire patient lifecycle and providing a valuable reference for clinical practice.

Objective:Micro-and nanostructures with sharp disordered and rounded ordered features were fabricated on titanium surfaces,respectively,and their osteogenic potential was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo.Methods:Sharp disordered titanium surfaces(SLA-Ti)and rounded ordered titanium surfaces(Laser-Ti)were prepared using sandblast acid etching and high-repeti-tion-rate femtosecond laser,respectively.Smooth titanium(Ti)was used as the control group,SLA-Ti and Laser-Ti were used as the experimental groups.Characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy coupled with hydrophilicity assess-ments.The adhesion,elongation,and osteogenic differentiation capabilities of osteoblasts in vitro were evaluated through cell mor-phology observations,cytoskeletal fluorescence staining,cell viability assays,and PCR experiments.Osteogenic potential in vivo of rabbits was assessed through Micro CT scans and histological staining(HE and Masson).Results:The surface of Laser-Ti exhibits a rounded,ordered,multi-scale micro-and nano-morphology with the best hydrophilicity(P＜0.01).In vitro,it promotes cell adhe-sion,extension,and osteogenic differentiation,while in vivo,it enhances bone regeneration around the implants.Overall,a trend of Laser-Ti＞SLA-Ti＞Ti is observed,with a higher bone volume fraction(BV/TV)(P＜0.05),greater trabecular thickness(Tb.Th)(P＜0.05),an increased number of trabeculae(Tb.N)(P＜0.05),and a larger area of bone around the implants(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The rounded ordered micro-and nano-structures fabricated using high-repetition-rate fem-tosecond laser demonstrate enhanced osteoinductive capac-ity both in vitro and in vivo.
