Objective To observe the effect of Huoxin pill (concentrated pill) combined with Baduanjin on the prognosis of patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods 120 patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure who received emergency interventional treatment in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2023 were randomly divided into western medicine treatment group and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)comprehensive treatment group. Western medicine treatment: standard western medicine treatment + five prescriptions for cardiac rehabilitation; based on western medicine treatment, Huoxin pill (concentrated pill) combined with Baduanjin therapy was added to the TCM comprehensive treatment group, and the follow-up was 6 months. The observed indexes were exertion angina pectoris scale, Chinese Medicine Syndrome Scale, Chinese medicine syndrome treatment effect evaluation, 6-minute walking test (6MWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and brain natriuretic peptide precursor (pro-BNP). Results Sixty patients were enrolled in the two groups respectively. During the treatment, 2 cases fell off in the western medicine treatment group and 8 cases fell off in the TCM comprehensive treatment group, and a total of 110 cases were enrolled in the group. Compared with the western treatment group, TCM combined therapy significantly improved angina pectoris scale score, TCM Syndrome Scale score, pro-BNP, LVEF and 6MWT (P<0.001). There were no significant differences in blood routine, liver and kidney function, potassium, blood glucose, blood lipids and cardiac Troponin I (cTnI) between the two groups (P>0.05). No adverse cardiovascular events occurred during the entire treatment period in both groups. Conclusion Huoxin pill (concentrated pill) combined with Baduanjin was more effective than western therapy in improving LVEF, 6MWT distance, exercise tolerance and cardiac function in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated with heart failure.

Objective:To investigate the influencing factors for gastrointestinal leakage and its occurrence time after minimally invasive radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:The retrospective case-control study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 3 135 patients with gastric cancer who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University from January 2004 to December 2022 were collected. There were 2 174 males and 961 females, aged (57±11)years. Gastrointestinal leakage occurring within 4 days after surgery was defined as early gastrointestinal leakage, and gastrointestinal leakage occuring more than 4 days after surgery was defined as late gastrointestinal leakage. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and t test was used for comparison between groups. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3), and Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. Count data were represented as absolute numbers, and chi-square test or Fisher exact pro-bability was used for comparison between groups. Comparison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparameter rank sum test. Logistic regression model was used for univariate analysis, and Logistic forward stepwise regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results:(1) Clinico-pathological characteristics of patients with and without postoperative gastrointestinal leakage. Of the 3 135 patients, there were 3 056 patients without gastrointestinal leakage and 79 patients with gastrointestinal leakage after operation, and there were significant differences in age, American Society of Anesthesiologists classification, neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgical resection range, volume of intraoperative blood loss and surgeon′s experience between them ( P<0.05). (2) Postoperative gastro-intestinal leakage and treatment. Of the 79 patients with postoperative gastrointestinal leakage, there were 36 patients with esophagojejunal anastomotic leakage (2 patients combined with jejunal anastomotic leakage), 29 patients with duodenal stump leakage, 11 patients with gastrojejunal anas-tomotic leakage, 2 patients with esophagogastric anastomotic leakage and 1 patient with gastroduo-denal anastomotic leakage. The same patient could be combined with more than one kind of gastro-intestinal leakage. Thirty-four patients were improved after conservative treatment, 31 patients were improved after puncture drainage or endoscopic interventional therapy, and 14 patients were treated with secondary surgery. Among the patients who underwent secondary surgery, 5 patients died during perioperative period. The time to occurrence of postoperative gastrointestinal leakage of 79 patients was 5(4, 8)days, with the earliest occurrence at 1 day after operation, and the latest occurrence at 16 days after operation. (3) Analysis of influencing factors for the occurrence time of postopera-tive gastrointestinal leakage. Results of multivariate analysis showed that neoadjuvant chemotherapy, total gastrectomy and surgeon′s experience ≤50 patients were independent risk factors for early gastrointestinal leakage after minimally invasive radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer ( odds ratio=4.262, 2.179, 5.015, 95% confidence interval as 1.386-13.110, 1.026-4.627, 2.378-10.537, P<0.05). Age>60 years, total gastrectomy, volume of intraoperative bleeding loss>200 mL were independent risk factors for late gastrointestinal leakage after minimally invasive radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer ( odds ratio=3.031, 2.804, 2.223, 95% confidence interval as 1.631-5.631, 1.535-5.122, 1.190-4.151, P<0.05). Conclusions:Most patients with gastrointestinal leakage after minimally invasive radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer can be cured by non-surgical methods. Neoadjuvant chemo-therapy and surgeon′s experience ≤ 50 patients are independent risk factors for early gastrointes-tinal leakage after minimally invasive radical gastrectomy. Age >60 years and volume of intraopera-tive blood loss >200 mL are independent risk factors for late gastrointestinal leakage after minimally invasive radical gastrectomy. Total gastrectomy is an independent risk factor for both early and late gastrointestinal leakage after minimally invasive radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

Objective:To explore the genetic causes of abnormal isovaleryl carnitine (C5) metabolism in newborns.Methods:Retrospective study.The screening and clinical follow-up data of 34 neonates with elevated C5 levels shown by the tandem mass spectrometry test in Children′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2018 to December 2021 were collected.Afterwards, their ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulant venous blood was collected to extract genomic DNA.A total of 79 genes related to genetic metabolic diseases, such as ACADSB, IVD and ACADM, were captured by liquid-phase capture technology.High-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics analysis were used to acquire gene variation information and the genes were categorized by American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics classification standard.According to the results of genetic analysis, the newborns with C5 elevation were divided into 3 groups: non-mutation group(11 cases), ACADSB mutation group(16 cases) and IVD mutation group(7 cases). Wilcoxon rank sum test was performed to analyze the difference between these groups. Results:Among 34 neonates, 6 ACADSB variants were detected in 16 cases, and 2 of them [c.461G>A (p.G154E), c.746delC(p.P249Lfs*15)] were novel variants.Eleven IVD variants were detected in 7 cases, and 7 of them [c.118A>G(p.N40D), c.296-10C>G, c.302A>G(p.Y101C), c.537G>A(p.M179I), c.667C>T(p.R223W), c.983A>G(p.K328R), c.1147+ 5G>A] were never reported before.There was no significant difference in the C5 concentration in initial screening among the three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Mutations in ACADSB and IVD genes are the main causes of augmented C5 levels in neonatal screening.For newly discovered genetic variants, functional prediction by multiple bioinformatics analysis software is recommended.And it is also important to carry out clinical follow-up and evaluation.

Objective:
To optimize the pretreatment method of N-nitrosamine compounds in ready-to-eat aquatic products.
Methods:
Market-sold ready-to-eat aquatic products were collected, homogenized and distilled by steam. The samples were extracted for 10 minutes using dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) with ethanol, trichloromethane and sodium chloride (3.0 g). After centrifugation, the organic phase in the lower layer was collected and subjected to gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS). The six common N-nitrosamine compounds were determined in ready-to-eat aquatic products using multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) and quantified by the internal standard method.
Results:
The optimized method exhibited a good linear relationship at concentrations of 10.0 to 500 μg/L for determination of 6 N-nitrosamine compounds (correlation coefficient of greater than 0.999), with 0.05 to 0.60 μg/kg limit of detection, 0.15 to 1.60 μg/kg limit of quantitation, mean spiked recovery rates of 71.8% to 108.9%, and relative standard deviations of 1.4% to 8.6%. N-Nitrosodimethylamine showed the highest detection rate in 20 market-sold ready-to-eat aquatic products (90%), and the detection rates of N-Nitrosopyrrolidine, N-Nitrosodiethylamine and N-dibutylnitrosamine were 15%, 10% and 10%, respectively.
Conclusion
Steam distillation combined with DLLME may optimize the pretreatment method of N-nitrosamine compounds in ready-to-eat aquatic products and meet the measurement requirements.

l-Heptopyranoses are important components of bacterial polysaccharides and biological active secondary metabolites like septacidin (SEP), which represents a group of nucleoside antibiotics with antitumor, antifungal, and pain-relief activities. However, little is known about the formation mechanisms of those l-heptose moieties. In this study, we deciphered the biosynthetic pathway of the l,l-gluco-heptosamine moiety in SEPs by functional characterizing four genes and proposed that SepI initiates the process by oxidizing the 4'-hydroxyl of l-glycero-α-d-manno-heptose moiety of SEP-328 ( 2) to a keto group. Subsequently, SepJ (C5 epimerase) and SepA (C3 epimerase) shape the 4'-keto-l-heptopyranose moiety by sequential epimerization reactions. At the last step, an aminotransferase SepG installs the 4'-amino group of the l,l-gluco-heptosamine moiety to generate SEP-327 ( 3). An interesting phenomenon is that the SEP intermediates with 4'-keto-l-heptopyranose moieties exist as special bicyclic sugars with hemiacetal-hemiketal structures. Notably, l-pyranose is usually converted from d-pyranose by bifunctional C3/C5 epimerase. SepA is an unprecedented monofunctional l-pyranose C3 epimerase. Further in silico and experimental studies revealed that it represents an overlooked metal dependent-sugar epimerase family bearing vicinal oxygen chelate (VOC) architecture.
