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.

ObjectiveTo explore the characteristics of circadian rhythm of blood pressure in patients with masked hypertension (MH) and its relationship with twelve two-hour peirods, providing a basis for early detection and intervention of MH. MethodsPatients who underwent 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure examination in the ambulatory blood pressure room of Jiangsu Province Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January to December 2022 were enrolled, and according to their outpatient blood pressure measurements, 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring and follow-up survey results, the MH, essential hypertension (EH) and normal blood pressure groups were classified, with 50 cases in each group. The general data, office blood pressure and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring data were collected. The circadian rhythm of blood pressure including 24-hour average systolic blood pressure (24h SBP), daytime average systolic blood pressure (d SBP), nighttime average systolic blood pressure (n SBP), 24-hour average diastolic blood pressure (24h DBP), daytime average diastolic blood pressure (d DBP), and nighttime average diastolic blood pressure (n DBP) were compared among the groups, and the nighttime blood pressure dipping percentage was calculated. The type of circadian rhythm was determined based on the nighttime blood pressure dipping percentage. The variability of blood pressure including 24h SBP standard deviation (24h SBP-SD), d SBP standard deviation (dSBP-SD), n SBP standard deviation (nSBP-SD), 24h DBP standard deviation (24h DBP-SD), d DBP standard deviation (dDBP-SD), and n DBP standard deviation (nDBP-SD) were compared among groups, and the corresponding coefficient of variation (CV), that is, 24h SBP-CV, d SBP-CV, n SBP-CV, 24h DBP-CV, d DBP-CV and n DBP-CV, were calculated. Based on the 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring results, the twelve two-hour average SBP and DBP in each group were calculated and compared. Simultaneously, patients with EH were divided into grades 1, 2, and 3 for further stratified analysis. ResultsThe age of the MH group was significantly higher than that of the EH group and the normal blood pressure group (P<0.01). The body mass index (BMI) and the proportion of smoking and alcohol consumption in the MH group and the EH group were significantly higher than those in the normal blood pressure group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the normal blood pressure group, there were 49 dipper patterns (98.0%) and one non-dipper pattern (2.0%); in the MH group, there were two dipper patterns (4.0%), 29 non-dipper patterns (58.0%) and 19 reverse-dipper patterns (38.0%); in the EH group, there were 20 dipper patterns (40.0%), 23 non-dipper patterns (46.0%) and seven reverse-dipper patterns (14.0%). Compared to the normal blood pressure group, the groups of MH and EH had significantly decreased proportion of dipper pattern and increased proportion of non-dipper and reverse-dipper pattern (P<0.01); the proportion of dipper pattern in the MH group was lower than that in the EH group, while the proportion of reverse-dipper pattern was higher (P<0.01). Compared to those in the normal blood pressure group, n SBP and n DBP in the MH group, as well as the the average SBP and average DBP at Zi hour (子时, 23:00-1:00), Chou hour (丑时, 1:00-3:00), Yin hour (寅时, 3:00-5:00), Mao hour (卯时, 5:00-7:00) and average SBP at Hai hour (亥时, 21:00-23:00) in the MH group increased,while the average DBP at Si hour (巳时, 9:00-11:00) decreased (P<0.01); 24h SBP, 24h DBP, d SBP, d DBP, n SBP, and n DBP,d SBP-SD, n SBP-SD,n DBP-SD increased, as well as the average SBP and average DBP at twelve two-hour periods increased in the EH group,while the 24h SBP-CV, 24h DBP-CV,and d DBP-CV in the EH group decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The EH group had higher 24h SBP, 24h DBP, d SBP, d DBP, n SBP, n DBP, 24h DBP-SD and n DBP-SD , as well as higher average SBP and DBP at all twelve two-hour periods, and lower d DBP-CV than the MH group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The EH group had 18 cases of grade 1 (36.0%), 19 cases of grade 2 (38.0%) and 13 cases of grade 3 (26.0%), with no significant differences among groups (P>0.05). ConclusionThe circadian rhythm of blood pressure in MH patients are mostly non-dipper and reverse-dipper patterns, and the abnormal elevation of blood pressure is obvious at Zi hour, Chou hour, Yin hour and Mao hour (23:00-7:00).

Objective We aimed to investigate the feasibility and method of constructing a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)curative effect prediction model based on the data of Kechuanting acupoint plastering therapy in the treatment of bronchial asthma(asthma).Methods Data from the Chronic Disease Management Research Platform of 303 patients with asthma who were treated with Kechuanting acupoint plastering therapy for 6 weeks in the Department of Acupuncture and Rehabilitation of Jiangsu Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from June to August 2018 to 2021 were selected.We used Phyton 3.10 for statistical analysis.After data preprocessing,the influencing factors were used to build models by Logistic regression,support vector machine,K-means clustering algorithm,Bayes algorithm,random forest method and Light gradient boosting machine(LightGBM)respectively,with the improvement of asthma control test score(ACT),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)and exhaled nitric oxide(FeNO)as the outcome indicators.Then,the models were compared and analyzed.Subsequently,the superior model was used to establish the efficacy prediction model and verify its stability to obtain the accuracy rate and eliminate the relatively important factors.Results The accuracy rate of the Kechuanting acupoint plastering therapy curative effect prediction model established by the LightGBM model was more than 70%.Five important factors were selected,including allergic history,tabacco and alcohol abuse,plastering duration,ACT before treatment,and FeNO before treatment.According to the classification analysis and the relationship between the important factors and the outcome indicators,Kechuanting acupoint plastering therapy significantly improved the ACT of patients with no history of allergy,no tabacco and alcohol abuse,and poor ACT:5-15 points(P<0.05).Furthermore,Kechuanting acupoint plastering therapy improved FeNO more significantly in patients with more than 3 years of treatment than those with no more than 3 years(P<0.05).However,Kechuanting acupoint plastering therapy only improved FeNO in a few patients with poor asthma control levels(P<0.05)and severe airway inflammation(FeNO>50×10-9)(P>0.05).Conclusion Acupoint plastering application has a significant effect on improving the control level of asthma,but its effect on improving airway inflammation is limited.It is feasible to use data from the chronic disease management research platform to construct the prediction model.After optimization and testing,the predictive model established based on the data of this study may provide an effective evaluation tool for targeted clinical treatment.
