ObjectiveTo establish a model that can quickly identify the aroma components in different parts of Nardostachys jatamansi， so as to provide a quality control basis for the market circulation and clinical use of N. jatamansi. MethodsHeadspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-SPME-GC-MS） combined with Smart aroma database and National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST） database were used to characterize the aroma components in different parts of N. jatamansi， and the aroma components were quantified according to relative response factor（RRF） and three internal standards， and the markers of aroma differences in different parts of N. jatamansi were identified by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） and cluster thermal analysis based on variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1 and P<0.01. The odor data of different parts of N. jatamansi were collected by Heracles Ⅱ Neo ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose， and the correlation between compound types of aroma components collected by the ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose and the detection results of HS-SPME-GC-MS was investigated by drawing odor fingerprints and odor response radargrams. Chromatographic peak information with distinguishing ability≥0.700 and peak area≥200 was selected as sensor data， and the rapid identification model of different parts of N. jatamansi was established by principal component analysis（PCA）， discriminant factor alysis（DFA）， soft independent modeling of class analogies（SIMCA） and statistical quality control analysis（SQCA）. ResultsThe HS-SPME-GC-MS results showed that there were 28 common components in the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi， of which 22 could be quantified and 12 significantly different components were screened out. Among these 12 components， the contents of five components（ethyl isovalerate， 2-pentylfuran， benzyl alcohol， nonanal and glacial acetic acid，） in the aboveground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the underground part（P<0.01）， the contents of β-ionone， patchouli alcohol， α-caryophyllene， linalyl butyrate， valencene， 1，8-cineole and p-cymene in the underground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the aboveground part（P<0.01）. Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose results showed that the PCA discrimination index of the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi was 82， and the contribution rates of the principal component factors were 99.94% and 99.89% when 2 and 3 principal components were extracted， respectively. The contribution rate of the discriminant factor 1 of the DFA model constructed on the basis of PCA was 100%， the validation score of the SIMCA model for discrimination of the two parts was 99， and SQCA could clearly distinguish different parts of N. jatamansi. ConclusionHS-SPME-GC-MS can clarify the differential markers of underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi. The four analytical models provided by Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose（PCA， DFA， SIMCA and SQCA） can realize the rapid identification of different parts of N. jatamansi. Combining the two results， it is speculated that terpenes and carboxylic acids may be the main factors contributing to the difference in aroma between the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi.

Objective:To construct an individualized nomogram prediction model for predicting the risk of the occurrence of covert hepatic encephalopathy (CHE) in patients with liver cirrhosis.Methods:325 cases of liver cirrhosis admitted from January 2020 to December 2022 were selected as the study subjects. Patients were divided into training ( n=213) and validation ( n=112) sets using a cluster randomization method. The risk factors for CHE occurrence in patients with cirrhosis in the training set were analyzed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression. A prediction model related to the nomogram was established. Results:Independent risk factors for the occurrence of CHE in patients with cirrhosis were a history of hepatic encephalopathy, co-infection, gastrointestinal bleeding, severe ascites, prothrombin time ≥16 seconds, high total bilirubin, and high blood ammonia levels ( P<0.05). Nomogram model validation results: The model had a net benefit for the training and validation sets, with C-indices of 0.830 (95% CI: 0.802-0.858) and 0.807 (95% CI: 0.877-0.837), respectively, within the range of 0-96%. The calibration curves of both sets were evenly close to the ideal curves. The AUCs for the ROC curves in both sets were 0.827 (95% CI: 0.796-0.858) and 0.811 (95% CI: 0.787-0.836), respectively. Conclusion:Patients with cirrhosis have many risk factors for CHE occurrence. The nomogram model constructed based on these risk factors possesses a good predictive value for assessing CHE occurrence in cirrhotic patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of artificial liver support therapy on the short-term (28- and 90-day) mortality rate of patients with liver failure in the plateau stage through a stratified analysis based on Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for 187 patients with liver failure who were admitted to Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, from January 2015 to April 2019, with 73 patients in the artificial liver group and 114 in the non-artificial liver group. The stratified analysis based on MELD score in the plateau stage was performed to investigate the differences in 28- and 90-day mortality rates, hospital costs and length of hospital stay of surviving patients, and incidence rate of adverse reactions of artificial liver support therapy between the two groups. The t-test was used for comparison of continuous data between the two groups, and the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between the two groups. ResultsCompared with the non-artificial liver group, the artificial liver group had a significant reduction in the 28-day mortality rate of the patients with an MELD score of 30-39 (5.9% vs 39.6%, P＜0.001) or those with an MELD score of 40 (25.0% vs 72.7%, P＜0.05). Compared with the non-artificial liver group, the artificial liver group had a significant reduction in the 90-day mortality rate of the patients with an MELD score of 30-39 (23.5% vs 623%, P＜0.001). Artificial liver support therapy did not significantly shorten the mean hospital stay of the surviving patients (P＞0.05) and had no significant influence on the total hospital costs of the surviving patients within 90 days (P＞0.05). The incidence rate of adverse reactions related to artificial liver support therapy was 29.1%, but the symptoms were mild and were relieved after symptomatic treatment. ConclusionPatients with an MELD score of ＜30 in the plateau stage tend to have low 28- and 90-day mortality rates, and artificial liver support therapy can be reasonably selected according to the patient’s economic conditions and willingness. Artificial liver support therapy is recommended for patients with an MELD score of 30-39 in the plateau stage if there is no obvious contraindication. For patients with an MELD score of 40 in the plateau stage, artificial liver support therapy is recommended within 28 days if there is no obvious contraindication, and liver transplantation is recommended as soon as possible. Artificial liver support therapy has no significant influence on the total hospital costs and mean hospital stay of the surviving patients within 90 days and does not increase the economic burden of patients.

Objective To analyze the clinicopathological features and prognosis of immunoglobulin G (IgG)4-related diseases with interstitial nephritis. Methods Forty cases of IgG4-related diseases diagnosed by pathology in our hospital from 2014 to 2018 were collected and their clinicopathological features were analyzed. Four patients with IgG4-related disease with interstitial nephritis were analyzed, including clinical laboratory tests and histopathological features, and immunohistochemical analysis of the type and proportion of renal interstitial infiltrating cells. At the same time, the treatment and prognosis of the patients were analyzed. Results Among 40 cases of IgG4-related diseases, 11 cases had parotid submandibular gland involvement (accounted for 28％), labial gland involvement (7 cases, 18％) and lymph node enlargement (6 cases, 15％). Patients with kidney involvement (4 cases, 10％) all presented with IgG4-related tubulo-interstitial nephritis (IgG4-TIN). All of them were elderly males, and 2 had glomerulopathy. One of them had anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA)-related vasculitis renal damage. The number of CD4-positive cells in renal interstitium was more than CD8-positive cells. Another case complicated with IgA nephropathy. Renal dysfunction occurred in all 4 cases, and serum IgG4 level ranged from 4.65 g/L to 23.8 g/L. All 4 patients received glucocorticosteroid and symptomatic treatment, and the prognosis was good. Conclusion IgG4-related diseases may involve mul-tiple organs, renal dysfunction may occur when the kidney is involved. Interstitial nephritis is the major clinical manifestation. Glomerular lesions may accelerate the progress of IgG4-TIN. Corticosteroid therapy is effective.
