A derivatizaton method combined with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS)was established for detection of isobutyl chloroformate(IBCF)residue in active pharmaceutical ingredient of agatroban.The extraction and derivatization reagents,derivatization time,qualitative and quantitative ions were selected and optimized,respectively.The possible mechanism of derivatization and characteristic fragment ions fragmentation were speculated.The agatroban samples were dissolved and extracted by methanol,and the residual IBCF was derived with methanol to generate methyl isobutyl carbonate(MIBCB).After 24 h static derivatization at room temperature,IBCF was completely transformed into MIBCB,which could be used to indirectly detect IBCF accurately.The results showed that the linearity of this method was good in the range of 25-500 ng/mL(R2=0.9999).The limit of detection(LOD,S/N=3)was 0.75 μg/g,and the limit of quantification(LOQ,S/N=10)was 2.50 μg/g.Good recoveries(95.2%-97.8%)and relative standard deviations(RSDs)less than 3.1%(n=6)were obtained from agatroban samples at three spiked levels of IBCF(2.50,25.00,50.00 μg/g),which showed good accuracy of this method.Good precision of detection results was obtained by different laboratory technicians at different times,the mean value of spiked sample solution(25.00 μg/g)was 24.28 μg/g,and the RSD was 2.1%(n=12).The durability was good,minor changes of detection conditions had little effect on the results.Under the original condition and conditions with initial column temperature±5℃,heating rate±2℃/min,column flow rate±0.1 mL/min,the IBCF content of spiked sample solution(25.00 μg/g)was detected,the mean value of detection results was 24.16 μg/g,and the RSD was 2.2%(n=7).Eight batches of agatroban samples from two manufacturers were detected using the established method,and the results showed that no IBCF residue was detected in any of these samples.The agatroban samples could be dissolved by methanol,and then the IBCF residue could be simultaneously extracted and derived with methanol as well.This detection method had the advantages of simple operation,high sensitivity,low matrix effect and accurate quantification,which provided a new effective method for detection of IBCF residue in agatroban.

Molecular imprinting is a biomimetic technique that simulates the specific recognition of biological macromolecules such as antibody. Based on molecular imprinting and high-specificity affinity analysis,the biomimetic imprinting affinity analysis (BIA) possesses many advantages such as high sensitivity,strong tolerance,good specificity and low cost,and thus,it has shown excellent prospects in food safety detection,pharmaceutical analysis and environmental pollution monitoring. In this review,the construction methods of recognition interfaces for BIA were summarized,including bulk polymerization,electro-polymerization and surface molecular imprinting. The application of molecularly imprinted polymers in different analysis methods,such as radiolabeled affinity analysis,enzyme-labeled affinity analysis,fluorescence-labeled affinity analysis,chemiluminescence affinity analysis and electrochemical immunosensor was mainly discussed. Furthermore,the challenges and future development trends of BIA in practical application were elucidated. This review might provide new reference ideas and technical supports for the further development of BIA technique.

ObjectiveThis article aims to investigate the clinical features of portal biliopathy （PB） patients， in order to improve the understanding of PB. MethodsClinical data were collected from 22 patients who were diagnosed with PB in recent years in The First Hospital of Jilin University， and an analysis was performed for their clinical manifestations， liver function， abdominal color Doppler ultrasound， abdominal CT， and hepatobiliary magnetic resonance imaging. The imaging manifestations of biliary tract abnormalities were described， as well as the type of collateral circulation and the location of thrombosis. ResultsAs for the initial symptom in these 22 patients， three were 11 patients with gastrointestinal bleeding， 5 with abdominal distension， 3 with abdominal pain， 1 with fever， 1 with abdominal discomfort， and 1 with gingival bleeding. There were 3 patients with an increase in aspartate aminotransferase， 4 with an increase in alanine aminotransferase， 4 with an increase in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase， 7 with an increase in alkaline phosphatase， 8 with a reduction in cholinesterase， 9 with a reduction in albumin， 2 with an increase in globulin， and 5 with an increase in total bilirubin. Among the 22 patients， 20 had cavernous transformation of the portal vein， and 2 had portal vein thrombosis without cavernous transformation. All 22 patients had bile duct abnormalities， among whom 2 had extrahepatic bile duct abnormalities alone， 12 had intrahepatic bile duct dilatation alone， and 8 had dilatation of both intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Varices at different sites were observed in 20 patients， among whom 19 had esophageal and gastric varices and 1 had peri-gallbladder varices， and no varices was observed in the superior mesenteric vein or the splenic vein. ConclusionThere are no typical clinical symptoms and changes in liver function parameters in patients with PB， but radiological examination may show dilatation， stenosis， or malformation of the bile ducts at different parts. Therefore， it is necessary to expand the sample size to further explore the diagnosis and treatment of PB.

Objective:To establish the prediction model of the ultimate risk of mechanical ventilation for patients undergoing nasal high-flow oxygen therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), provide clinicians with a convenient and effective prediction method and accurate treatment timing, and improve the prognosis of ICU patients.Methods:Patients admitted to the ICU of our hospital from January 2019 to December 2021 were retrospectively enrolled. General clinical data of the patients were collected, including vital signs, biochemical indices of blood gas, inflammatory indices, acute comorbidities, APACHE Ⅱ score, length of stay in ICU and total length of stay, within 24 h after admission. Statistical analysis was performed on the above indicators and a chart was constructed.Results:Finally, 362 patients were enrolled in this study, and were divided into the transnasal high flow oxygen therapy group (HFNC group) and noninvasive positive pressure ventilation group (NIPPV group) according to whether mechanical ventilation was finally performed. The univariate and binary Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that APACHE Ⅱ score ( OR=1.323, 95% CI: 1.818-1.483), ROX index ( OR=0.371, 95% CI: 0.226-0.609), total length of stay ( OR=1.097, 95% CI: 1.003-1.200) and complicating acute respiratory failure ( OR=2.456, 95% CI: 1.368-4.506) were independent influencing factors for determining whether patients underwent mechanical ventilation. Based on the above independent influencing factors, the lipopograms were constructed. The goodness of fit R2 and C-index of the model were 0.892 and 0.985, respectively through evaluation and verification model. The calibration curve of the model fitted well with the ideal curve, and the areas under the ROC curve of the rosettes and independent factors were 0.985, 0.959, 0.899, 0.656 and 0.576, respectively, indicating that the model was more effective than the independent index in predicting risk. Decision curve analysis also showed that the rosette had high clinical benefit. Conclusions:There are many related factors affecting whether patients undergo mechanical ventilation after nasal high-flow oxygen therapy. In this paper, after univariate and multivariate analysis, the most valuable indicators are combined to establish a line chart with better predictive performance to assess patients' risk, which can further provide clinicians with simple and effective prediction methods and improve the prognosis of patients.

Ocotillol (OT)-type ginsenosides, one subtype of ginsenosides, consist of a dammarane skeleton and a tetrahydrofuran ring. Most naturally-occurring OT-type ginsenosides exist in Panax species, particularly in Panax quinquefolius, which may be attributed to the warm and humid climate of its native areas. Till now, merely 28 types of naturally-occurring OT-type ginsenosides have been isolated. In contrast, semi-synthesized OT-type ginsenosides are attracted considerable attentions. These ginsenosides can be obtained through oxidation and cyclization of side chains of dammarane-type ginsenosides, and other methods, which may change their physical and chemical properties and further improve their bioavailabilities. It is also notable that the pharmacological activities of ginsenosides are closely related to the stereoisomers caused by the configuration at C-20. Semi-synthesis of OT-type ginsenosides can facilitate our understanding of the biosynthesis, transformation and metabolism of OT-type ginsenosides in the body. This review will systematically summarize the research progress on naturally-occurring and semi-synthetic OT-type ginsenosides, which provides a theoretical basis for their bioactivity-guided research.
