OBJECTIVE To optimize ethanol extraction process of Yihuang powder. METHODS An orthogonal experiment was designed by reflux extraction with ethanol volume fraction, liquid-to-material ratio, and extraction time as investigation factors. The parameters used were the contents of hesperidin, nobiletin, tangeretin, gallic acid, chebulagic acid, chebulinic acid, liquiritin, glycyrrhizin, eugenol, and the paste-forming rate. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to calculate the comprehensive score. The optimal ethanol extraction process parameters of Yihuang powder were determined by verifying the results predicted by orthogonal experiment and genetic algorithm (GA)-back propagation neural network (BP neural network). RESULTS The optimal ethanol extraction process parameters, as optimized by orthogonal experiment, were as follows: ethanol volume fraction of 60%, liquid-solid ratio of 14∶1 (mL/g), extraction time of 90 min, and extraction for 2 times. The comprehensive score obtained by verification was 79.19. Meanwhile, the optimal ethanol extraction process parameters, optimized by GA-BP neural network, were ethanol volume fraction of 65%, liquid-solid ratio of 14∶1 (mL/g ), extraction time of 60 min, and extraction for 2 times. The comprehensive score obtained by verification was 85.30, higher than the results obtained from orthogonal experiment. CONCLUSIONS The optimization method of orthogonal experiment combined with GA-BP neural network is superior to the traditional orthogonal experiment optimization method. The optimized ethanol extraction process of Yihuang powder is stable and reliable.

OBJECTIVE To optimize the honey processing technology of Phellinus igniarius. METHODS The key factors of honey processing technology of P. igniarius (honey-water ratio, the mass ratio of honey-water to P. igniarius, the frying temperature and the frying time) were investigated by orthogonal test combined with analytic hierarchy process to determine the optimal technological parameters, using the internal quality (the contents of ergosterol, protocatechuic aldehyde and protocatechuic acid) and appearance traits as evaluation indexes. RESULTS The optimal process of honey-roasting P. igniarius was to take raw P. igniarius (1 cm3 square block), add the appropriate amount of auxiliary materials (with 25 kg of refined honey and water for every 100 kg of P. igniarius), mix well, moisten for 2 h until the auxiliary materials were completely absorbed; put it in a frying container, fry at the frying temperature of 130-140 ℃ for 5 min; take it out, put it in an oven at 50 ℃ for 2 h; take it out, and let it cool. The RSD of the results of three validation experiments was 0.68%. CONCLUSIONS The optimized honey processing technology of P. igniarius is stable and feasible.

OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical effects of different doses of meropenem in the treatment of septic shock. METHODS One hundred and six patients with septic shock were randomly divided into standard-dose group and high-dose group, with 53 cases in each group. Patients in the standard-dose group were given standard dose of meropenem (initial intravenous injection of 1 g meropenem more than 30 minutes, followed by 1 g meropenem intravenously every 8 hours, each time for more than 3 hours); patients in the high-dose group were given high dose of meropenem (initial intravenous injection of 2 g meropenem more than 30 minutes, followed by 2 g meropenem intravenously every 8 hours, each time for more than 3 hours); other treatment measures were determined based on the specific conditions of the patients. The main observation indicators were the increments of sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) scores and simplified acute physiology score Ⅱ (SAPS Ⅱ) after 3, 5 and 7 days of treatment in both groups. Secondary observation indicators included in-hospital mortality, 90-day all-cause mortality, 7-day microbial cure rate, 7-day clinical cure rate, serum procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels after 3, 5 and 7 days of treatment, hospitalization days in the intensive care unit, ventilator treatment days, the highest dose of norepinephrine. The occurrence of adverse drug reaction in the two groups was observed. RESULTS The increments of SOFA scores and SAPS Ⅱ after 7 days of treatment, the levels of PCT and CRP after 5 and 7 days of treatment as well as the 90-day all-cause mortality in the high- dose group were significantly lower than the standard-dose group (P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in other indicators between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS High-dose meropenem treatment for septic shock has better clinical effects and is safer than standard-dose meropenem.

OBJECTIVE To compare the similarities and differences between raw and different preparations of Terminalia chebula based on fingerprint, antioxidant spectrum-effect correlation and multi-component contents, and to provide a reference for searching for modern processing methods of T. chebula that are similar to classical ancient methods. METHODS Ten batches of raw and different preparations of T. chebula (single stir-fried products, bran-roasted products, sand-scorched products, ash-roasted products, stir-fried charcoal products, and wine-steamed products) were used as test samples. The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) fingerprints of different samples were established by using the Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM (2012 edition), the chromatographic peaks were identified, and chemometrics analysis was carried out. At the same time, HPLC method was used to determine the contents of 8 identified components. The antioxidant capacity of raw and different preparations of T. chebula was determined by DPPH free radical scavenging method, and the spectrum- effect relationship was analyzed. RESULTS A total of 20 common peaks were identified in the fingerprints of the raw and different preparations of T. chebula, and the similarity of each sample was >0.9. Nine common peaks were identified from the raw and different preparations of T. chebula, including chromatographic peak 2 (chebulic acid), 3 (gallic acid), 6 (punicalagin A), 8 (punicalagin B), 12 (corilagin), 15 (chebulagic acid), 18 (ellagic acid), 19 (1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloyl glucose), 20 (chebulinic acid), etc. Compared with crude drug, the contents of the above 8 components (punicalagin A and B are recorded as punicalagin) in different preparations of T. chebula were changed, and the changes of the contents of the stir-fried charcoal and wine-steamed products were more obvious than those of other processed products. Chemometric analysis showed that the fingerprints of stir-fried charcoal and wine-steamed products of T. chebula were obviously distinguished from other processed products, and the fingerprint information of raw products and other processed products of T. chebula was partially overlapped. Four main differential components (chebulinic acid, chebulagic acid, gallic acid, ellagic acid) were obtained between raw and processed products of T. chebula; and four main effective components (chebulinic acid, chebulagic acid, gallic acid, corilagin) were obtained by analyzing the spectrum-effect relationship of antioxidant activity. The single stir-fried product of T. chebula showed the strongest antioxidant activity. CONCLUSIONS The single stir-frying method is a modern processing method of T. chebula which is similar to the classical ancient method and is more excellent.

Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of exercise intention in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) .Methods:From March to July 2022, 174 PCOS patients admitted to the Health Management Center of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. A survey was conducted using the General Information Questionnaire, Exercise Intention Scale, Exercise Self-efficacy Scale and the Exercise Social Support Scale.Results:The Exercise Intention Scale score of 174 PCOS patients was 15.00 (13.00, 18.00). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that education level, PCOS related disease visits, exercise self-efficacy, exercise social support, and exercise self-identification were the influencing factors of exercise intention in PCOS patients, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05), which could explain 42.4% of the total variation. Conclusions:The subjective intention of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome to participate in exercise needs further improvement. Medical and nursing staff should focus on patients with polycystic ovary syndrome who have low levels of education and fewer visits, and focus on enhancing their self-efficacy and self-identification in exercise. At the same time, medical and nursing staff should actively mobilize social support systems to promote their subjective intention to exercise at a high level.
