OBJECTIVE To investigate the metabolic differences in roots, stems and leaves of Angelica dahurica (Fisch.ex Hoffm.) Benth. et Hook. f. ex Franch. et Savat. (shortened for A. dahurica ), and to provide a basis for the development and utilization of its medicinal resources. METHODS UPLC-MS/MS untargeted metabolomics technology was employed to detect metabolites in roots, stems and leaves of A. dahurica . Multivariate statistical analysis was used to screen differential metabolites and perform cluster analysis. Furthermore, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis was conducted on these differential metabolites. RESULTS A total of 769 metabolites were identified in roots, stems and leaves of A. dahurica . Among t hem, lipids, alkaloids, amino acids and their derivatives accounted for the highest proportion, which accounted for 14.31%, 13.91% and 13.65%, respectively, and the coumarin compounds accounted for 3.25%. Results of principal component analysis, orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis and cluster analysis indicated that there were certain differences in metabolites among the three tissues. A total of 205 differential metabolites were identified between stems and roots (82 up-regulated and 123 down-regulated), 326 differential metabolites between leaves and roots (247 up-regulated and 79 down-regulated), and 293 differential metabolites between the leaves and stems (263 up-regulated and 30 down-regulated). Further analysis of the differential coumarin metabolites in different plant parts revealed that several compounds, including ( R )-oxypeucedanin, 4-hydroxycoumarin, 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate, exhibited relatively high contents in the leaves. KEGG pathway enrichment analysis indicated that differential metabolites predominantly accumulated in the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis and ABC transporter pathways. CONCLUSIONS There are significant differences in metabolites among roots, stems and leaves of A. dahurica . Coumarin compounds are highly enriched in the leaves, and their synthesis and transport may be related to the synergistic effect of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis pathway and the ABC transporter pathway.

Objective: To classify the ABO blood group phenotypes of 5 cases from a family, and to explore the molecular mechanism for reduced B antigen expression in ABO blood group system. Methods: Serological identification of the ABO blood group was performed using microcolumn gel assay and saline tube method. The soluble antigens in saliva were detected by the agglutination inhibition assay. The full-length sequences and upstream promoter regions of ABO gene were sequenced for genotyping using PacBio SMRT sequencing technology. Results: The results of serological tests indicated the expression of B antigen decreased in 3 out of 5 blood samples. A mixed-field agglutination was observed with anti-B antibody. B antigen was not detected in all 5 saliva samples. The ABO genotype for all samples were ABO
B.01/ABO
O.01.02, and a novel mutation c. 28+5875C>T within the DNA-binding region of RUNX1 in +5.8-kb site were found in the B allele for 3 samples with reduced expression of B antigen. Conclusion: Results of serological and genetic analyses classify the 3 cases with reduced B antigen expression as B
phenotype. The novel mutation c. 28+5875C>T of RUNX1 could be the key reason for reduced B antigen expression in 3 cases with B
phenotype.

Objective To investigate the reliability and validity of the assessment tools of Brief ICF Core Sets for Arthroplasty of Knee Osteoarthritis in Perioperative Period(ICSAKOPP). Methods From May,2022 to April,2023,320 patients undergoing knee arthroplasty were selected in Peking University Third Hospital,China-Japan Friendship Hospital,Peking University First Hospital and Chinese PLA General Hospital.Trained assessors used Brief ICSAKOPP to evaluate all enrolled patients before arthroplasty,three days(±one day)after arthroplasty,three weeks(±one week)after arthroplasty,and three months(±one month)after ar-throplasty.Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index(WOMAC)scores were recorded at the same time.Five professionals were asked to score all the items of Brief ICSAKOPP,and the content validity index(CVI)was caculated. Results A total of 64 cases were dropped down.CVI of all the items of the Brief ICSAKOPP were above 0.8,with a av-erage CVI of the scale of 0.938.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the Brief ICSAKOPP was 0.813.There was a moderate correlation(r=0.681,P<0.001)between the overall Brief ICSAKOPP and WOMAC scores,as well as body functional dimension score(r=0.668,P<0.001)and activities and participation dimension score(r=0.657,P<0.001). Conclusion Brief ICSAKOPP is good in content validity,internal consistency reliability and criterion validity.

Mori Cortex is sweet and pungent in taste, cold in nature, and has the tropism to the lung meridian. It has the functions of purging the lung and relieving asthma and can treat oliguria and edema, being one of the commonly used herbal medicines in clinical practice. The prescriptions with Mori Cortex, such as Sangbaipi Tang, Qingjin Huatanfang, and Qingfei Huatantang, are widely used in clinical practice. The main active components in Mori Cortex are the material basis for its efficacy. Owing to the mature methods for the identification of pharmacodynamic substances in Chinese herbal medicines, the research on the chemical components of Mori Cortex has been in-depth and systematic. This article reviews the recent studies about the chemical components and pharmacological effects of Mori Cortex, as well as the treatment of respiratory diseases by the prescriptions with Mori Cortex. On this basis, the effect and mechanism of Mori Cortex and related prescriptions in the treatment of respiratory diseases are summarized. Furthermore, this article analyzes the formulation compatibility and commonly used dosages of Mori Cortex-related prescriptions in clinical practice.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells with strong proliferative ability have rich sources and can remarkably promote tendon-bone healing after celltransplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells on tendon-bone healing in a bone tunnel.
METHODS:Human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells were separated using adherent separation screening method. Thirty 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups, 15 rats as experimental group and 15 rats as control group. Experimental group were subjected to transplantation of human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells and the control group were injected with saline solution.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cells, new vessels, and fibrocartilage hyperplasia were observed on the tendon-bone interface with microscope at 2, 4 and 6 weeks after celltransplantation in the experimental group. Biomechanical y, the maximum pul out load in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group at 4 and 6 weeks after celltransplantation (P<0.05). These findings suggest that human placenta-derived mesenchymal stem cells can accelerate early tendon-bone healing in a bone tunnel and strengthen the biomechanical strength.
