ObjectiveTo establish a geographical origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan, providing a new technical reference for the protection of Haiyuan's geo-authentic medicinal materials and its designation as a national geographical indication agricultural product. MethodsSamples of Foeniculi Fructus were collected from eight producing areas, including Minqin (Gansu), Bozhou (Anhui), Qingdao (Shandong), Dezhou (Shandong), Urumqi (Xinjiang), Nujiang (Yunnan), Gutuo (Inner Mongolia), and Haiyuan (Ningxia). Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was used to detect the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in samples from these geographic origins. VOCs were qualitatively analyzed through dual matching with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mass spectral database and the IMS drift time database. Using the Reporter module and Gallery Plot visualization tools within the LAV analytical platform, VOC fingerprint profiles characterizing geographic origins were constructed. A non-targeted analytical strategy was adopted, and 97 VOCs detected via GC-IMS were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) based on their differential distribution patterns to construct an origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan region. Key discriminative markers were screened using variable importance in projection (VIP) values greater than 1. ResultsA total of 97 VOCs were identified, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, organic acids, terpenoids, ethers, alkenes, and benzenes. The PLS-DA model, based on VOCs data obtained by GC-IMS, effectively distinguished Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from those of other origins. During cross-validation, the model achieved a prediction parameter (Q2) of 0.976 and a goodness-of-fit parameter (R2) of 0.936, with no overfitting observed in permutation testing. Twelve key flavor markers with VIP > 1 were identified as characteristic indicators of Haiyuan origin. ConclusionA stable and highly predictive origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan was successfully established using GC-IMS technology, PLS-DA, and VIP-based marker screening. This model provides a novel technical strategy for accurately distinguishing Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from other regional varieties and offers new technical support for its protection as a geo-authentic medicinal material and a nationally designated geographical indication agricultural product in China.

This article reviews relevant literature on the prevention and treatment of cancer with hesperidin published in the past 10 years by searching electronic databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Wanfang, and PubMed, and summarizes the research progress on the anticancer mechanism of hesperidin. Hesperidin has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, immune-regulatory, anti-radiation, neuroprotective and cardiovascular protective properties and so on. Its anticancer mechanisms mainly include inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, reducing angiogenesis, inhibiting invasion and migration of cancer cells, regulating immunity and autophagy, and exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. As a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, hesperidin manifests chemo-preventive and therapeutic effects across various cancers, contingent upon its multifaceted anticancer mechanisms. Furthermore, this article summarizes the synergistic effects of hesperidin in combination with cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel. It elucidates that hesperidin can enhance the cytotoxicity of these anticancer drugs against cancer cells while mitigating drug resistance and adverse side effects. Nonetheless, the clinical use is somewhat constrained due to its poor water solubility and limited bioavailability. Therefore, this article also outlines the current strategies for enhancing hesperidin's bioavailability, including structural modification, combination with other chemical substances, and utilization of nano drug carriers.The discovery of derivatives of hesperidin not only preserves the anticancer efficacy of hesperidin, but also effectively overcomes the shortcomings of poor water solubility and low bioavailability of hesperidin, effectively predicting the good application prospects of hesperidin and its derivatives.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate pharmaceutical care of cancer pain therapy in medical institutions from Beijing area, and to provide reference for improving the quality of pharmaceutical care for cancer pain in medical institutions and formulating cancer pain therapy decision by public health administration departments at different levels. METHODS: Inspection results of standardized diagnosis and treatment for cancer pain were analyzed retrospectively in Beijing Pain Therapy Quality Control and Improvement Center during Feb.-Mar. 2018. Scoring results of pharmaceutical care (20 points) and its 5 sub-items (personnel participation, drug supply, drug management, outpatient prescription comment and inpatient prescription comment, 4 points each item) were analyzed statistically and classified according to hospital level and pharmaceutical care inspection results. RESULTS: A total of 64 hospitals in Beijing participated in the inspection, including 27 tertiary A hospitals (42.19%), 21 tertiary B hospitals (32.81%), 16 secondary hospitals or first-level hospitals (25.00%). Pharmaceutical care in all hospitals met the inspection requirements with qualified rate of 100%. 52 hospitals performed excellently (81.25%), and 12 hospitals were qualified for pharmaceutical care (18.75%). Among 5 sub-items of personnel participation, drug supply, drug management, outpatient prescription comment and inpatient prescription comment, the average score of drug supply item was the highest (3.83±0.05); the lowest was the personnel participation item (2.93±0.13). The results of pharmaceutical care inspection in tertiary A hospitals (17.80±0.28) and tertiary B hospitals (17.78±0.30) were significantly better than those in secondary hospitals or first-level hospitals(16.16±0.50)(P<0.01 or P<0.05); there was statistical significance only in the score of outpatient prescription comment among 5 sub-items(P=0.026). Total scores of the hospitals with excellent pharmaceutical care were significantly higher than those of the hospitals with qualified pharmaceutical care in terms of personnel participation, outpatient prescription comment and inpatient prescription comment (P<0.01 or P<0.05). There was significant difference in the inspection results of pharmaceutical care among the excellent group, the qualified group and the unqualified group classified by the results of personnel participation item (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The quality of pharmaceutical care for cancer pain therapy in medical institutions from Beijing area has reached the qualified level, but the participation of clinical pharmacists in cancer pain therapy and outpatient prescription comment still need improvement in further. The training of clinical pharmacists and information construction of narcotic drug management should be strengthened so as to improve the overall quality of pharmaceutical care for cancer pain.

OBJECTIVE: To study the correlation of tacrolimus concentrations among transplant patients’ whole blood, plasma and blood cells, analyze the effects of transplant types and ages on the their correlation, and to provide reference for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS: Totally 20 patients receiving tacrolimus anti-rejection therapy after transplantation and undergoing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) were randomly selected. According to the type of transplantation, they were divided into renal transplantation group and lung transplantation group (10 cases for each group). According to age, they were divided into three groups: 20-40 years old group, 41-60 years old group and 61-80 years old group (4, 9, 7 cases for each group). Their residual blood after TDM was collected. Chemiluminescence microparticle immuno assay (CMIA) was used to detect the concentration of tacrolimus in whole blood. UPLC-MS/MS was used to measure the concentrations of tacrolimus in plasma and blood cells. Pairs plots and Spearman rank correlation analysis were used to analyze the correlation of tacrolimus between whole blood and plasma, between whole blood and blood cells, between plasma and blood cells as well as the effects of transplant types and ages on tacrolimus concentrations among tansplant patient’s whole blood, plasma and blood cells. RESULTS: The correlation of tacrolimus concentrations in whole blood and plasma (r=0.623,P<0.01) was slightly stronger than that of whole blood and blood cells (r=0.591, P<0.01); while the correlation of tacrolimus concentration in plasma and blood cells was relatively weak (r=0.497,P<0.05). Transplant type and age had an effect on the correlation of tacrolimus concentrations among patients’ whole blood, plasma, blood cells. The correlation of tacrolimus concen- tration in whole blood, blood cells and plasma in renal transplantation group was also weak (all r<0.5), and was weaker than that in lung transplantation group. The correlation of tacrolimus concentration among whole blood, plasma and blood cells was weak in patients of aged 20-40 years old group (all r<0.3), and was weaker than that of patients of aged 41-60 years old group and 61-80 years old group. CONCLUSION: Post-transplantation patients’ tacrolimus concentrations in whole blood, plasma and blood cell have a weak correlation. Rejections and adverse effects should be monitored in these patients, especially those renal transplantation patients or those patients aged 20 to 40.
