OBJECTIVE To optimize the simmering technology of Rheum palmatum from Menghe Medical School and compare the difference of chemical components before and after processing. METHODS Using appearance score， the contents of gallic acid， 5-hydroxymethylfurfural （5-HMF）， sennoside A+sennoside B， combined anthraquinone and free anthraquinone as indexes， analytic hierarchy process （AHP）-entropy weight method was used to calculate the comprehensive score of evaluation indicators； the orthogonal experiment was designed to optimize the processing technology of simmering R. palmatum with fire temperature， simmering time， paper layer number and paper wrapping time as factors； validation test was conducted. The changes in the contents of five anthraquinones （aloe-emodin， rhein， emodin， chrysophanol， physcion）， five anthraquinone glycosides （barbaloin， rheinoside， rhubarb glycoside， emodin glycoside， and emodin methyl ether glycoside）， two sennosides （sennoside A， sennoside B）， gallic acid and 5-HMF were compared between simmered R. palmatum prepared by optimized technology and R. palmatum. RESULTS The optimal processing conditions of R. palmatum was as follows: each 80 g R. palmatum was wrapped with a layer of wet paper for 0.5 h， simmered on high heat for 20 min and then simmered at 140 ℃， the total simmering time was 2.5 h. The average comprehensive score of 3 validation tests was 94.10 （RSD＜1.0%）. After simmering， the contents of five anthraquinones and two sennosides were decreased significantly， while those of 5 free anthraquinones and gallic acid were increased to different extents； a new component 5-HMF was formed. CONCLUSIONS This study successfully optimizes the simmering technology of R. palmatum. There is a significant difference in the chemical components before and after processing， which can explain that simmering technology slows down the relase of R. palmatum and beneficiate it.

Objective To establish a method for rapid detection of tramadol in urine by liquid-liquid extraction（LLE）-surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy （SERS）. Methods Tramadol was extracted from urine with chloroform∶isopropyl alcohol （9∶1） extractant and detected in urine samples by enhanced Raman spectroscopy （wavelength 785 nm）. Results The quantitative curve of tramadol was Y=204.35 X−465.62, r=0.9952, and the linear range was 1-100 μg/ml. The detection limit of tramadol by this method （S/N=3） was 0.53 μg/ml. The sensitivity of SERS was higher than that of conventional methods, and it had reasonable reproducibility. Conclusion This method is simple, efficient and economical, and can be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of tramadol personalized medicine.

As new evidence emerges, treatment strategies toward the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B are evolving. In 2019, a panel of national hepatologists published a Consensus Statement on the functional cure of chronic hepatitis B. Currently, an international group of hepatologists has been assembled to evaluate research since the publication of the original consensus, and to collaboratively develop the updated statements. The 2.0 Consensus was aimed to update the original consensus with the latest available studies, and provide a comprehensive overview of the current relevant scientific literatures regarding functional cure of hepatitis B, with a particular focus on issues that are not yet fully clarified. These cover the definition of functional cure of hepatitis B, its mechanisms and barriers, the effective strategies and treatment roadmap to achieve this endpoint, in particular new surrogate biomarkers used to measure efficacy or to predict response, and the appropriate approach to pursuing a functional cure in special populations, the development of emerging antivirals and immunomodulators with potential for curing hepatitis B. The statements are primarily intended to offer international guidance for clinicians in their practice to enhance the functional cure rate of chronic hepatitis B.

OBJECTIVE To screen and quantitatively analyze differential quality markers （Q-Marker） in Zingiber officinale mixed and triturated with Schisandra chinensis （ZMTS） before and after processing. METHODS HPLC fingerprints of before processing [Z. officinale complicated with S. chinensis （ZWS）] and after processing （ZMTS） （10 batches each） were established. The differences of Q-Markers before and after processing were screened by the chemical pattern recognition method and Q-Marker “five principles”， and the contents were determined. RESULTS A total of 14 common peaks were identified in the fingerprints of ZWS， 22 common peaks were identified in the fingerprints of ZMTS， and 8 components were identified. Differential Q-Marker were screened by chemical pattern recognition and Q-Marker “five principles”， i. e. 6-gingerol， schisandrol A schisandrol B， 8-gingerol， 10-gingerol， schisandrin A， schisandrin B， schizandrin C. The average contents of the 8 differential Q-Markers in ZMTS were 229.46， 244.48， 39.96， 44.12， 61.17， 47.82， 100.11 and 9.70 μg/g， respectively. The average contents of the 4 differential Q-Markers （6-gingerol， schisandrol A， schisandrol B， 8-gingerol） in ZWS were 112.58， 19.01， 26.74 and 5.98 μg/g， respectively. CONCLUSIONS In this study， the differential Q-Markers before and after ZMTS processing are screened. The contents of the Q-Markers in ZMTS after processing are higher than those before processing.

Objective:To determine incidence of seasonal influenza virus infection in the community and to analyze the factors influencing seasonal influenza virus infection.Methods:This study recruited residents aged 6-59 years to build a cohort in 15 villages/streets in Macheng city in November 2019. Meanwhile, a cross-sectional baseline survey was conducted immediately to collect sera, information on demographics and child protection knowledge, behaviors, as well as attitudes using a questionnaire from the participants enrolled in the cohort (i.e., before the influenza epidemic season). In July 2020, a cross-sectional follow-up survey was conducted to collect sera once again (i.e., after the influenza season). Paired sera from the two cross-sectional surveys were tested for influenza virus-specific antibodies by hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test or micro-neutralization (MN) test using a circulating representative strain of each subtype/lineage of influenza virus as the test antigen. The infections with influenza virus subtype/lineage was confirmed if there was a four-fold or more increase in titers of antibodies against circulating representative strain of the subtype/lineage of influenza virus. Factors influencing infection with influenza A (H3N2) and B/Victoria viruses were analyzed using univariable and multivariable logistic regression.Results:In November 2019, 800 study participants were enrolled in the cohort, including 340 children aged 6-17 years and 460 adults aged 18-59 years; 605 study participants (including 224 children and 381 adults) were followed up in July 2020 and their paired sera were obtained before and after the influenza season. 25.3% (153/605) of the participants were confirmed to be infected with at least one subtype/lineage of seasonal influenza virus by HI and MN tests. The overall incidence of influenza viruses of all subtypes/lineages in children was 44.2% (95% CI: 37.6%-50.8%) which was significantly higher than the incidence of 14.1% in adults (95% CI: 10.7%-17.7%). Children had the highest incidence of influenza A (H3N2) virus infection, followed by B/Victoria. MN or HI antibody titers in A (H3N2)[ OR=0.88 (95% CI: 0.84-0.93)] and B/Victoria[ OR=0.97 (95% CI: 0.95-0.99)] before the influenza season were significantly associated with whether children were infected with that subtype/lineage of influenza virus. Conclusions:The residents aged 6-59 years in Macheng city had a substantial incidence of seasonal influenza virus infection during the influenza season from winter 2019 to spring 2020. Notably, almost half of children aged 6-17 years have been infected with seasonal influenza virus. Higher titers of HI/MN antibodies against seasonal influenza virus before the influenza season would be likely to reduce the risk of infection with influenza A (H3N2) and B/Victoria.

Objective To analyze the correlation of the main chemical components,physical parameters and the color of Fructus Sophorae in nine-steam-nine-bask processing.Methods The contents of sophoracin,genistein,rutin and 5-hydroxymethylfurfural were simultaneously determined by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The content of polysaccharide was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry.The correlation of main components,physical parameters and the color was studied by the measurement of the physical parameters and the color(L*、a*、b*)combined with hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA),principal component analysis(PCA)and partial least squares(PLS).The criteria importance through intercriteria correlation(CRITIC)method was used to make a comprehensive evaluation of the nine-steam-nine-bask processing of Fructus Sophorae.Results The methods for the content determination and chromaticity measurement were accurate and reliable.The precision,stability and repeatability tests were good.The results of HCA and PCA showed that Fructus Sophorae,which was steamed-basked for one to four times,could be grouped into one category.Fructus Sophorae steamed-basked for five to nine times were classified into another category.PLS correlation analysis showed that the contents of polysaccharide and rutin were significantly correlated with physical parameters and color.The water absorption expansion and relative density were significantly correlated with the color.The comprehensive evaluation showed that nine-steam-nine-bask Fructus Sophorae was the best.Conclusion There is certain regularity in the overall changes of the content of main components,physical parameters and the color of Fructus Sophorae during nine-steam-nine-bask processing.The combination of the internal components,the color and physical parameters provides the basis for revealing the mechanism on nine-steam-nine-bask processing of Fructus Sophorae.
