OBJECTIVE To evaluate the quality of total flavonoids of Lamiophlomis rotata from different producing areas. METHODS Total flavonoids of S1-S15 batches of L. rotata from different producing areas were extracted by percolation and purified by polyamide column. The content of total flavonoids was determined by UV spectrophotometry， and its purity was calculated. HPLC fingerprint chromatograms and control fingerprint of total flavonoids from 15 batches of L. rotata were established with Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of TCM （2012 version）. Their similarities were analyzed. Cluster analysis， principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were used to evaluate the quality of total flavonoids from 15 batches of L. rotata， and the main components which affected the quality of total flavonoids were analyzed. RESULTS The purities of total flavonoids from 15 batches of L. rotata were 55.82%-94.12%， with an average value of 77.72%； a total of five common peaks were identified in the fingerprint， and No. 3 peak was luteolin； the similarities between the fingerprint of each batch of samples and the control fingerprint were 0.925-1.000. By cluster analysis， S1 and S3-S9 were clustered into the first class， which were samples from Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region. S14 and S15 were clustered into the second class， which were samples from Yunnan Province. S10-S13 were clustered into the third class， which were all samples from Sichuan Province. S2 was clustered into the fourth class. The principal component analysis showed that the qualities of samples from the first and fourth classes were better； peaks 2， 3 and 5 were identified as the main components that caused the differences among different batches of samples by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis. CONCLUSIONS The qualities of total flavonoids of L. rotata from Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region are better.

Objective:To explore the causes and feelings of delayed experience of seeking medical treatment in patients with advanced lung cancer, and to provide new insights for more targeted health education and medical care services.Methods:A semi-structured in depth interview based on the theory of planned behavior was conducted among 30 patients with advanced lung cancer who experienced medical delay from November to December in 2021 admitted to First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. The interview content was analyzed and abstracted by using Colaizzi phenomenological analysis method and Nvivo11.0 software.Results:The delay duration of 30 patients with advanced lung cancer ranged from 90 to 213 days. Four subject groups were extracted by generic analysis: the cause of delay, the cause to seek medical help, the worry about the disease, and solutions.Conclusions:The delay behavior of patients with advanced lung cancer is affected by external situational factors such as symptom severity, family economic capacity, social support, accessibility of health services, prevalence of novel coronavirus, and subjective psychological factors such as sense of stigma and burden of disease, it is necessary to reduce the occurrence of medical delay in patients with advanced lung cancer through the comprehensive management strategy of multiple channels.

Objective:To investigate the current sedation level of patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU, and to explore the influence of early different sedation levels on clinical outcomes, so as to provide theoretical basis for better guidance of clinical sedation evaluation and implementation of sedation strategy management.Methods:This study was a retrospective longitudinal study. The 201 patients with invasive mechanical ventilation who underwent sedation in the Department of Intensive Care Medicine of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from January to December 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method. According to the results of Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale(RASS), the patients were divided into deep sedation group (98 cases) and shallow sedation group (103 cases). The influencing factors of endotracheal intubation retention time and outcome were investigated by Cox multifactor analysis.Results:In the early sedation ≤48 h after the start of mechanical ventilation, 63.2%(2 143/3 389) of patients with invasive mechanical ventilation had a RASS score of shallow sedation, 35.2%(1 194/3 389) of patients with deep sedation, and 1.5%(52/3 389) of patients with insufficient sedation. Cox multivariate regression analysis showed that age, sedation level, duration of invasive mechanical ventilation and continuous renal replacement therapy were the factors influencing the indentation time of tracheal insertion ( χ2 values were 4.73 to 74.31, all P<0.05); early deep sedation was a risk factor for delayed extubation ( HR=0.499, 95% CI 0.276-0.903, P<0.05); gender, sedation level, invasive mechanical ventilation duration, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ scores, admission mode, continuous renal replacement therapywere the influencing factors of patient outcomes ( χ2 values were 4.41 to 26.20, all P<0.05). The deeper the sedation, the worse the patient outcomes ( HR=0.568, 95% CI 0.335-0.963 all P<0.05) . Conclusions:The early sedation level is related to the retention time and outcome of tracheal intubation in ICU patients with mechanical ventilation, and different sedation levels affect the clinical outcome of patients. The retention time of tracheal intubation in patients with shallow sedation was shortened, which was beneficial to the outcome of patients.Therefore, sedation evaluation should be strengthened in clinical work, and sedation methods should be selected according to the needs of patients. In the absence of contraindications, the shallow sedation strategy should be implemented as soon as possible. This study provides some reference and theoretical basis for the formulation and management of clinical sedation strategies.

PURPOSE: Lung adenocarcinoma (LA) is one of the major types of lung cancer. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in regulating responses of natural killer (NK) cells to cancer malignancy. However, the mechanism of miR-218-5p involved in the killing effect of NK cells to LA cells remains poorly understood. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The expression of miR-218-5p was examined by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR). Serine hydroxymethyl transferase 1 (SHMT1) level was detected by qRT-PCR or western blots. Cytokines production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by ELISA. The killing effect of NK cells to LA cells was investigated using lactate dehydrogenase cytotoxicity assay kit. The interaction of miR-218-5p and SHMT1 was probed by luciferase activity assay. Xenograft model was established to investigate the killing effect of NK cells in vivo. RESULTS: miR-218-5p was enhanced and SHMT1 was inhibited in NK cells of LA patients, whereas stimulation of interleukin-2 (IL-2) reversed their abundances. Addition of miR-218-5p reduced IL-2-induced cytokines expression and cytotoxicity in NK-92 against LA cells. Moreover, SHMT1 was negatively regulated by miR-218-5p and attenuated miR-218-5p-mediated effect on cytotoxicity, IFN-γ and TNF-α secretion in IL-2-activated NK cells. In addition, miR-218-5p exhaustion inhibited tumor growth by promoting killing effect of NK cells. CONCLUSION: miR-218-5p suppresses the killing effect of NK cells to LA cells by targeting SHMT1, providing a potential target for LA treatment by ameliorating NK cells function.
