ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE To explore the correlation between HPLC fingerprint and analgesic efficacy of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma, and to screen out the material basis of analgesic effect of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma.METHODS Established HPLC fingerprint of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma and dysmenorrhea model in rats. The weight loss rate, writhing response, serum malondialdehyde(MDA), estradiol(E2), prostaglandin E2(PGE2) and prostaglandin F2α(PGF2α) levels were used as the evaluation indexes of analgesic efficacy. Combined with chemometrics, the main active components of analgesic effect of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma and the important components with great contribution to the content were screened.RESULTS The fingerprints of different batches of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma were established, and nine components were identified; compared with the blank group, the weight loss rate, writhing reaction, MDA, E2 and PGF2α levels in the model group were significantly increased. Compared with the model group, the above indexs in the administration group was decreased. Compared with the blank group, the PGE2 level in the model group was significantly decreased. Compared with the model group, the PGE2 level in the administration group was significantly increased. The vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma produced in Zhejiang had a good analgesic effect, and the main active components of its analgesic effect were protopine, palmatine hydrochloride, and dehydrocorydaline. The important components with greater contribution to the content were tetrahydropalmatine, protopine, palmatine hydrochloride and stylopine.CONCLUSION The efficacy of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma is the result of the combined action of multiple components, and each component has a strong correlation with the pharmacodynamic indexes. This study provides a reference for the screening of analgesic material basis of Zhejiang vinegar Corydalis Rhizoma.

Objective To culture and expand primary rat aortic vascular stem cells in vitro and evaluate their characteristics as mesenchymal stem cells.Methods The thoracic and abdominal aortas isolated from 2-to 3-week-old Sprague-Dawley rats were cut into vascular segments 2.0 mm in length and cultured in culture flasks till adhesion and solidification of the outer membranes.The primary cells were further cultured to 80%-90%confluence before passaging.The morphology and growth characteristics of the cells were observed under a microscope,and the expressions of surface marker CD molecules on the cells was analyzed using flow cytometry.Adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation assays were performed to assess the capacity of the cells for multilineage differentiation.Results After 3 days of culture,a small number of spindle,star-shaped or polygonal cells migrated out from the peripheral of the vascular segments.At 5-6 days,island-like cell clusters occurred and the cells began to proliferate rapidly.The cell clusters expanded radially and showed signs of cell cloning.At 7-8 days,the cells fused into sheets and displayed a vortex-like distribution.The cells in the third passage presented with a uniform morphology,showing a typical fibroblast-like arrangement.Flow cytometry showed that the cells expressed predominantly CD44(80.3%),CD73(62.2%)and CD90(46.8%)with low expressions of CD34(1.1%),CD45(0.2%)and CD11b/c(0.2%).Adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation experiments demonstrated that the cells were capable of lipogenic and osteogenic differentiation in vitro.Conclusion Rat aortic vascular stem cells with mesenchymal stem cell characteristics can be successfully isolated and cultured by adherent culture of the segmented outer membrane.

Objective:To investigate the current situation and influencing factors of the cognition of self-supporting for the elderly in nursing institutions, in order to provide a reference basis for constructing an intervention system of self-supporting in nursing institutions and implementing self-supporting more effectively.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. From April to August 2023, 320 elderly people from 7 elderly care institutions in Changsha City were selected by convenience sampling method, and the general information questionnaire, the Barthel Index Scale, the Comprehension Social Support Scale, and the self-developed questionnaire on knowledge belief, and practice of self-supporting for the elderly in nursing institutions were used to investigate. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the factors influencing self-supporting for older people in nursing facilities.Results:Totally 315 valid questionnaires were recovered including 95 males and 220 females, with the majority aged 80-89 years, being 159. The surveyed elderly people in nursing institutions scored (91.24 ± 11.92) points on the self-supporting knowledge questionnaire, and the mean score of the entries was (3.51 ± 0.46) points. The results of multiple linear regression showed that the total scores of activity frequency, the Barthel index of activities daily living and perceived social support were the main factors affecting self-supporting ( t = 5.02, - 6.67, 9.48, all P<0.05), which could explain 51.8% of the total variation. Conclusions:The self-supporting of the elderly in nursing institutions is at a high level, and relevant personnel can better exert the subjective initiative of the elderly in nursing institutions by publicizing and educating the elderly on self-supporting, organizing regular activities and strengthening social support construction.

Objective To construct a TCM Zhengsu differentiation model for type 2 diabetes based on deep learning and multimodal fusion,thus providing algorithmic support for full intelligence in TCM Zhengsu differentiation.Methods A total of 2585 patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited.Three experts were invited to perform the Zhengsu differentiation separately.Deep fully connected neural networks,U2-Net and ResNet34 networks were applied to construct the symptom-based differentiation model(S-Model)and the tongue image-based differentiation model(T-Model),respectively,while multimodal fusion techniques were employed to build the multimodal fusion model(TS-Model)with the above two as co-inputs.Finally,the prediction performance of the above models was compared by F1 value,accuracy,and recall.Results The predicted F1 values of the T-Model fluctuated from 0.000%to 86.726%,while those in the S-Model and TS-Model fluctuated from 0.000%to 97.826%and from 55.556%to 99.065%,respectively.A stable and high F1 value was found in the TS-Model.Conclusion The multimodal fusion technique was demonstrated to be applicable in the TCM Zhengsu differentiation model,which provided methodological support for developingof a fully intelligent Zhengsu differentiation model with high objective four diagnostic information.

During the pain treatment process,to reduce the use of opioids,alternative pain relievers have been used.Increasing data indicated that N-methyl-D-aspartic acid(NMDA)receptor antagonists may enhance the analgesic effect of opioids.Furthermore,numerous studies have shown that the auxiliary analgesic effect of magnesium sulfate has a good application prospect in pain treatment and perioperative anesthesia.The primary pharmacological mechanism of magnesium sulfate in pain treatment is that it acts as a physiological voltage-dependent blocker of NMDA coupling channels,and its anti-nociceptive effect is related to magnesium blocking calcium inflow,thereby inhibiting central sensitization and reducing preexisting hyperalgesia.This paper reviewed the current application of magnesium sulfate in perioperative period,focusing on its auxiliary analgesic effect through intravenous,intrathecal,and local administration,and the reduction of opioid consumption.As well as its potential role and application prospects in opioid-free anesthesia program.

Objective:To investigate serum lipidomic profiles in patients with chronic actinic dermatitis (CAD), and to search for biomarkers of CAD.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted. Serum samples were collected from 46 patients with CAD and 16 age- and gender-matched healthy controls in the Guangzhou Institute of Dermatology from April 2011 to December 2021. Changes in serum lipid composition and expression were assessed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Principal component analysis, partial least squares discriminant analysis, and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis were performed to screen differential biomarkers, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was conducted to screen diagnostic markers. Comparisons of the age and gender distribution between groups were performed using t test and chi-square test, respectively. Results:The 46 CAD patients were aged from 30 to 84 (60.39 ± 10.52) years, including 41 males and 5 females; the 16 healthy controls were aged from 50 to 89 (59.81 ± 10.72) years, including 14 males and 2 females; there were no significant differences in the age or gender distribution between the two groups (age: t = 0.19, P = 0.853; gender: χ2 = 0.03, P = 0.859). Totally, 4 136 lipid molecules belonging to 40 subclasses were identified in the serum samples from CAD patients as well as healthy controls. Twenty-two differential lipid molecules were identified between the CAD patients and healthy controls, belonging to 9 subclasses (triglycerides, sphingomyelin, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylethanolamine, monofatty acid glycerides, lysophosphatidylcholine, hexose ceramide, diglycerides, and cardiolipin). When the combinations of triglycerides (37.7e) and Na, those of monoglycerides (22.3) and NH 4, or those of phosphatidylserine (18.0_18.1) and H served as diagnostic markers separately, the areas under the ROC curve (AUCs) were all > 0.8, and the AUCs of 16 differential lipid molecules were all > 0.7. Conclusion:The serum lipid composition differed between healthy controls and CAD patients, and the combinations of triglycerides (37.7e) and Na, those of monoglycerides (22.3) and NH 4, and those of phosphatidylserine (18.0_18.1) and H may be promising biomarkers for the diagnosis of CAD.
