ObjectiveTo screen the differential markers by analyzing volatile components in Dalbergia odorifera and its counterfeits， in order to provide reference for authentication of D. odorifera. MethodThe volatile components in D. odorifera and its counterfeits were detected by headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-GC-MS）， and the GC conditions were heated by procedure（the initial temperature of the column was 50 ℃， the retention time was 1 min， and then the temperature was raised to 300 ℃ at 10 ℃ for 10 min）， the carrier gas was helium， and the flow rate was 1.0 mL·min^-1， the split ratio was 10∶1， and the injection volume was 1 mL. The MS conditions used electron bombardment ionization（EI） with the scanning range of m/z 35-550. The compound species were identified by database matching， the relative content of each component was calculated by the peak area normalization method， and principal component analysis（PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discrimination analysis（OPLS-DA） and cluster analysis were performed on the detection results by SIMCA 14.1 software， and the differential components of D. odorifera and its counterfeits were screened out according to the variable importance in the projection（VIP） value>2 and P<0.05. ResultA total of 26， 17， 8， 22， 24 and 7 volatile components were identified from D. odorifera， D. bariensis， D. latifolia， D. benthamii， D. pinnata and D. cochinchinensis， respectively. Among them， there were 11 unique volatile components of D. odorifera， 6 unique volatile components of D. bariensis， 3 unique volatile components of D. latifolia， 6 unique volatile components of D. benthamii， 8 unique volatile components of D. pinnata， 4 unique volatile components of D. cochinchinensis. The PCA results showed that， except for D. latifolia and D. cochinchinensis， which could not be clearly distinguished， D. odorifera and other counterfeits could be distributed in a certain area， respectively. The OPLS-DA results showed that D. odorifera and its five counterfeits were clustered into one group each， indicating significant differences in volatile components between D. odorifera and its counterfeits. Finally， a total of 31 differential markers of volatile components between D. odoriferae and its counterfeits were screened. ConclusionHS-GC-MS combined with SIMCA 14.1 software can systematically elucidate the volatile differential components between D. odorifera and its counterfeits， which is suitable for rapid identification of them.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of modified laparoscopic radical surgery without uterine ma-nipulator in the treatment of early cervical cancer.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 105 patients with early cervical cancer(stages ⅠB1,ⅠB2,ⅡA1)who underwent radical resection of cer-vical cancer in West China Second University Hospital,Sichuan University from January 2019 to January 2020.According to the operation methods,the patients were divided into uterine lifter-free group(35 cases),uterine lifter group(35 cases)and laparotomy group(35 cases).The operation duration,intraoperative blood loss,number of resected lymph nodes,postoperative anal exhaust time,drainage tube placement time,hospitalization time,inci-dence of surgical complications,recurrence rate and mortality rate were compared among the three groups.Re-sults:There was no statistically significant difference in the number of lymph node resection,the postoperative anal exhaust time,drainage tube placement time and hospitalization time among the three groups(P>0.05).Comparison between two groups showed that the operation time of the group without uterine lifting was longer than that of the laparotomy group,and the intraoperative bleeding volume and the Postoperative anal exhaust time of the laparotomy group were more than those of the other two groups,and the differences were statistically signif-icant(P<0.05).There were 18 cases of surgical complications in the three groups.The incidence rate of uterine lifter-free group,laparotomy group and uterine lifter group was 11.4%,20.0%and 20.0%,respectively,with no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).There were 8 patients with recurrence 2 years after operation,the re-currence rates of the uterine lifter-free group,the laparotomy group and the uterine lifter group were 0,5.7%and 17.1%,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The recurrence rate of the group with-out uterine lifting was significantly lower than that of the uterine lifting group(P<0.05).There were0 death in the non-lifting group,0 in the laparotomy group,and 1 case in the uterine lifting device group within 2 years after oper-ation,the difference was no statistically significant(P>0.05).Conclusions:The modified laparoscopic radical re-section without uterine lifter can reduce the risk of tumor recurrence in laparoscopic radical resection with uterine lifter,which is equivalent to the treatment effect of open surgery,and does not increase the risk of surgical compli-cations.It has clinical application value.

Young permanent teeth are not fully developed due to their short eruption,characterized by a relatively large pulp cavity,high and pointed pulp horns,and open apical foramina.Due to caries,abnormal tooth development or trauma,the dental pulp may be damaged or infected,which may lead to pulp necrosis and directly affect the normal tooth root formation.Therefore,the treatment of dental pulp disease in young permanent teeth poses a huge clinical challenge.The goal of clinical treatment is to promote continued root development of the affected tooth,thicken the root canal walls,and close the api-cal foramina.This article reviews the treatment options for reversible and irreversible pulpitis caused by pulp exposure,aiming to provide a reference for the treatment of pulp lesions in young permanent teeth,focusing on preserving healthy pulp and pro-moting pulp repair and regeneration.

Objective To analyse the concept of subjective financial distress in cancer patients.Methods Papers in regarding the subjective financial distress were retrieved from the databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wangfang Database,PubMed,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CINAHL,and Embase from the inceptions to 16th October,2022.Walker and Avant's concept analysis was performed to analyse the acquired articles.Results A total of 48 articles were retrieved and included in the study.Walker and Avant's concept analysis showed that the subjective financial distress in the patients was subject to the 3 defining attributes:perceived economic risk,coping behaviours,and negative emotional reactions.The antecedents of this distress included individual factors,disease and treatment factors,and social factors.The consequences of them were the increase in negative health behaviours and poorer quality of life.Conclusions The attributes,antecedents and consequences of subjective financial distress,as identified through the conceptual analysis,can serve as a reference for subsequent researches.In future studies,it would be beneficial by further exploring the connotation by considering China's healthcare system.

Objective:To investigate the mortality burden among permanent residents in Shenzhen from 2014 to 2021 and to provide scientific evidence for establishing precision disease prevention and control strategy.Methods:Based on the cause-of-death surveillance data, we described the distribution of mortality rate, cause-specific rankings, and years of life lost (YLL) for the total population and subgroups in Shenzhen from 2014 to 2021. The seventh national population census data was used as the standard population to calculate the standardized mortality rate. Joinpoint log-linear regression model was used to analyze the chronic trend of mortality burden.Results:From 2014 to 2021, 49 734 deaths among the permanent population were recorded in Shenzhen, with a 140.90/100 000 average crude mortality rate, standardized as 366.77/100 000. Both the crude mortality rate and standardized mortality rate showed fluctuating increases from 2014 to 2016 [annual percent change (APC)=20.72%, P=0.048, APC=28.59%, P=0.016] and fluctuating decreases from 2016 to 2021 (APC=-1.55%, P=0.317, APC=-1.89%, P=0.190). The mortality rates of the <20 and 20- age groups decreased over time, with a statistically significant decrease observed in the <20 age group [average annual percent change (AAPC)=-11.91%, P<0.001]. The mortality rates of the 40-, 60-, and ≥80 age groups increased over time, with an increase observed in the ≥80 age group from 2014 to 2016 (APC=45.25%, P=0.016) and a decrease from 2016 to 2021 (APC=-2.18%, P=0.280). There was no statistical significance in the mortality rate trend for the remaining age groups (all P>0.05). The top three causes of death among permanent residents in Shenzhen from 2014 to 2021 were consistently malignant tumors, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and respiratory system diseases, with crude mortality rates of 49.59/100 000, 47.95/100 000, and 7.90/100 000 respectively in 2021. From 2014 to 2021, 1 003 287.43 YLL were observed, with YLL for the total population, males and females all showing an upward trend (all P<0.001). Conclusions:The mortality burden among the elderly permanent residents in Shenzhen displayed a continuously increasing trend from 2014 to 2021. Strengthening the need for substantial efforts and actions to improve the prevention and control of chronic non-communicable diseases.

Objective To explore the effects of prucalopride(PRUC)on the intestinal function during the perioperative period of robot-assisted laparoscopic radical cystectomy(RARC)and urinary diversion.Methods A total of 75 patients undertaking RARC with urinary diversion(orthotopic neobladder or ileal bladder)in Nanjing Drum Hospital during Jan.and Dec.2021 were divided into PRUC group(n=28)and control group(n=47)according to whether they took PRUC or not.Postoperative intestinal ventilation time and defecation time,drainage tube retention time,tolerance time for first intake of semi-flow food,postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of complications were observed and recorded in the two groups.Postoperative C-reactive protein(CRP)and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio(NLR)were compared.Results The PRUC group had shorter intestinal ventilation time and defecation time[(47.14±16.31)h vs.(74.04±35.33)h,P＜0.01;(86.14±30.47)h vs.(123.57±79.12)h,P=0.02],smaller change of ΔCRP and ΔNLR[(79.99±29.71)mg/L vs.(127.75±56.98)mg/L;(9.24±6.43)vs.(16.11±9.90),P＜0.01].All complications were minor,the incidence of intestinal obstruction in PRUC group tended to decrease within 90 days after operation(P=0.38),and there was no significant difference in other complications between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The perioperative use of PRUC in RARC with urinary diversion is safe and effective,which can promote the recovery of intestinal function after operation.

Objective:To investigate the application value of metagenomic next-genera-tion sequencing (mNGS) in pathogenic diagnosis of suspected infected severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:The prospective study was conducted. The clinical data of 25 patients with suspected infected SAP who were admitted to the Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from May to September 2023 were collected. Upper limb venous blood samples of all the patients were collected for both of mNGS and routine pathogen microbial culture. Observation indicators: (1) grouping situations of the enrolled patients; (2) comparison of the diagnostic efficiency of mNGS and routine pathogen microbial culture; (3) results of peripheral blood pathogen microbial testing and peri-pancreatic effusion microbial culture; (4) testing time and cost. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and comparison between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M( Q1, Q3). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was conducted using the chi-square test. Results:(1) Grouping situations of the enrolled patients. A total of 25 patients were selected for eligibility. There were 18 males and 7 females, aged 48(40,59)years. The duration of hospital stay of 25 patients was 30(20,50)days. The etiologies of 25 patients included 14 cases of hyperlipidemic pancreatitis, 8 cases of biliary pancreatitis, 1 case of alcohol-induced acute pancreatitis, and 2 cases of pancreatitis caused by other causes. Of the 25 patients, there were 17 cases with infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) including 7 cases of death, and 8 cases with sterile pancreatic necrosis including no death. (2) Comparison of the diagnostic efficiency of mNGS and routine pathogen microbial culture. The positive rates of mNGS and routine pathogen microbial culture in diagnosis of suspected infected SAP were 72.0%(18/25) and 32.0%(8/25), respectively, showing a significant difference between them ( χ2=8.01, P<0.05). The sensitivity and negative predic-tive value of mNGS and routine pathogen microbial culture in diagnosis of IPN were 94.1%(16/17), 35.3%(6/17) and 85.7%(6/7), 35.3%(6/17), showing significant differences between them ( χ2=12.88, 5.04, P<0.05). The specificity and positive predictive value of mNGS and routine pathogen microbial culture in diagnosis of IPN were 75.0%(6/8), 75.0%(6/8) and 88.9%(16/18), 75.0%(6/8), showing no significant difference between them ( χ2=0, 0.82, P>0.05). (3) Results of peripheral blood pathogen microbial testing and peripancreatic effusion microbial culture. Of the 17 patients with IPN, 36 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected by mNGS, and 6 strains were detected by routine pathogen microbial culture. There were 16 of 17 patients with IPN showing positive mNGS pathogenic testing, of which 13 cases were consistent with the pathogenic testing results of peri-pancreatic effusion microbial culture, showing a consistency rate of 76.5%(13/17). There were 6 pati-ents with IPN showing positive routine pathogen microbial culture, with a consistency rate of 35.3%(6/17) to peripancreatic effusion microbial culture. (4) Testing time and cost. Testing time of mNGS and routine pathogen microbial culture were (43±17)hours and (111±36)hours, showing a signifi-cant difference between them ( t=9.31, P<0.05). Testing cost of mNGS was (2 267±0)yuan/case, accoun-ting for 1.7% of the hospitalization expenses of (133 759±120 744)yuan/case. Testing cost of routine pathogen microbial culture was (240±0)yuan/case, accounting of 0.2% of the hospitalization expenses. Conclusion:mNGS has important value for early pathogenic diagnosis of suspected infected SAP, and has a high timeliness.

Background and Aims:Accurate early pathogen diagnosis is a breakthrough for improving the prognosis of infectious pancreatic necrosis(IPN)patients.However,there is currently a lack of efficient methods for early identification of IPN in clinical settings.This study was performed to assess the application value of next-generation sequencing technology based on metagenomic capture(MetaCAP)in the pathogen diagnosis of IPN. Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 29 patients suspected of having acute necrotizing pancreatitis at Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between January and July 2024.Blood samples were tested using MetaCAP and conventional pathogen culture.The results of peritoneal fluid pathogen culture were used as the gold standard to compare the diagnostic efficacy of the two methods. Results:Due to three cases lacking peritoneal fluid culture results,a total of 26 cases were included in the final analysis.The overall mortality rate was 23.1％(6/26).During hospitalization,9 cases(34.6％)were diagnosed with IPN.The sensitivity and negative predictive value of MetaCAP for diagnosing IPN were significantly higher than those of conventional pathogen culture(77.8％vs.11.1％,P=0.031;86.7％vs.65.2％,P=0.032),while the differences in specificity(76.5％vs.88.2％,P=0.689)and positive predictive value(63.6％vs.33.3％,P=0.347)between the two methods were not statistically significant.The average detection time for MetaCAP was 33(20-49)h,while microbial culture took 125(45-142)h,with a significant difference(P＜0.001).The average cost for blood MetaCAP testing was 2 500 yuan per case,but it accounted for only 1.19％of the average hospitalization cost. Conclusion:MetaCAP has significant value in the early pathogen diagnosis of IPN,with a shorter detection time,good testing efficacy,and health-economic value,demonstrating a promising clinical application prospect.

Objective To explore the effect of enhanced recovery after surgery(ERAS)in perioperative period of complicated appendicitis in children.Methods A total of 248 children with complicated appendicitis who underwent laparoscopic surgery in Quanzhou Children's Hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected and divided into control group and ERAS group according to random number table method,with 124 cases in each group.Both groups of patients underwent laparoscopic appendectomy.The control group received traditional treatment during perioperative period,while the ERAS group received treatment based on the concept of ERAS.The first postoperative exhaust/defecation time,hospital stay,visual analogue scale(VAS)score,postoperative complications and hospitalization satisfaction were compared between two groups.Results The time of first postoperative exhaust/defecation and hospital stay in ERAS group were significantly shorter than those in control group,total incidence of postoperative complications and postoperative VAS score were significantly lower than those in control group,and hospitalization satisfaction was significantly better than that in control group(P<0.05).Conclusion ERAS implementation during perioperative period of complicated appendicitis in children can promote early postoperative recovery,reduce postoperative pain,reduce the incidence of complications,and improve hospitalization satisfaction,which is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

Objective:To systematically review the prevalence, influencing factors of financial toxicity and coping strategies in cancer patients.Methods:The studies on financial toxicity among cancer patients were searched in PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, WangFang Data, CNKI, Sinomed, VIP from inception to June 2022. Stata14.0 software was used to analyze the prevalence of financial toxicity and coping strategies with a single group meta-analysis. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors.Results:A total of 25 papers including 2 939 cancer patients were included. Meta-analysis results showed that the prevalence of financial toxicity in cancer patients was 47% (95% CI 39%-55%). The influencing factors of financial toxicity included sociodemographic factors, disease related factors, medical insurance related factors and psychological factors. Conclusions:The high incidence of financial toxicity in cancer patients is associated with a variety of factors. Health care professionals should pay attention to early screening of cancer patients, dynamically collect relevant data such as patient expenditure items, continuously assess patients' economic status, and make relevant preventive efforts.
