italic>Schisandra chinensis is a traditional Chinese medicine with the functions of reinforcing deficiency, strengthening, and inducing astringency, appliable to treat the chronic cough and deficiency in breath, palpitation, and insomnia, etc. A hybrid mass spectrometry scanning strategy (high-definition data-independent/data-dependent acquisition, HDDIDDA), enabling the ion mobility separation and alternating data-independent acquisition/data-dependent acquisition, was established, which, in combination with in-house library-driven automatic peak annotation workflows facilitated by the UNIFI software, was utilized to systematically characterize the multi-classes of chemical components from S. chinensis. The use of an HSS T3 column (100 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.8 μm), 0.1% formic acid in H₂O-acetonitrile as the mobile phase running at the flow rate of 0.3 mL·min^-1, and column temperature at 35 ℃, could enable good separation of the S. chinensis components within 42 min. HDDIDDA scan in both the positive and negative ion modes was employed for data acquisition. Based on the automatic peak annotation, reference standards comparison, MS² data interpretation, and literature analysis, we were able to identify or tentatively characterize 105 compounds in the S. chinensis decoction, involving 56 terpenoids, 42 lignans, five glycosides, one organic acid, and one flavonoid. HDDIDDA scanning can improve the coverage of data acquisition and improve the accuracy of identification, while CCS prediction analysis provides the possibility to distinguish isomers by the ion mobility technology. The results provide reference for the intelligent material basis research of TCM.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between urinary metals copper (Cu), arsenic (As), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) and grip strength. Methods We used linear regression models, quantile g-computation and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to assess the relationship between metals and grip strength.Results In the multimetal linear regression, Cu (β=-2.119), As (β=-1.318), Sr (β=-2.480), Ba (β=0.781), Fe (β= 1.130) and Mn (β=-0.404) were significantly correlated with grip strength (P < 0.05). The results of the quantile g-computation showed that the risk of occurrence of grip strength reduction was -1.007 (95％ confidence interval:-1.362, -0.652; P < 0.001) when each quartile of the mixture of the seven metals was increased. Bayesian kernel function regression model analysis showed that mixtures of the seven metals had a negative overall effect on grip strength, with Cu, As and Sr being negatively associated with grip strength levels. In the total population, potential interactions were observed between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn (Pinteractions of 0.003 and 0.018, respectively).Conclusion In summary, this study suggests that combined exposure to metal mixtures is negatively associated with grip strength. Cu, Sr and As were negatively correlated with grip strength levels, and there were potential interactions between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn.

Objective To explore the effects of panobinostat on the proliferation,migration and invasion of renal carcinoma cells via targeting ADP ribosylated factor-like protein 4C(ARL4C).Methods According to different treatments,human renal carinoma 786-O cells were divided into blank group(phosphate buffer treatment),experimental group(50 nmol·L-1 panobinostat treatment),empty vector group(transfection with empty vector and no treatment),overexpression group(transfection with ARL4C overexpression vector and no treatment)and combined group(transfection with ARL4C overexpression vector and 50 nmol·L-1 panobinostat treatment).The proliferation,migration and invasion of cells were detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay and scratch assay.Cholesterol transport levels in cells were detected by enzyme-labeled assay.The mRNA and protein levels of ARL4C in cells were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and Western blot.Results The indicators of cell proliferation in blank group,experimental group,empty vector group,overexpression group and combined group were(100.00±0)％,(61.08±5.82)％,(101.22±5.92)％,(121.94±6.63)％and(101.78±6.87)％;the indicators of cell migration were(44.59±2.49)％,(29.02±2.09)％,(42.75±2.42)％,(54.19±3.05)％and(41.91±2.75)％;the indicators of cell invasion were 264.50±6.52,182.70±5.83,257.80±7.91,322.40±8.27 and 266.80±8.15;the intracellular levels of cholesterol were(72.48±6.21),(36.48±3.44),(73.89±5.91),(89.21±8.89)and(73.06±6.92)mmol·L-1;the relative expression levels of ARL4C mRNA were 1.23±0.22,0.24±0.08,1.27±0.25,1.67±0.38 and 1.27±0.25;the relative expression levels of ARL4C protein were 1.06±0.03,0.17±0.04,1.03±0.05,1.37±0.18 and 1.05±0.08,respectively.Between the blank group and experimental group,the above indicators have statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05);compared with the blank group and empty vector group,the above indicators in overexpression group have statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Panobinostat downregulate the intracellular levels of cholesterol by reducing the expression level of ARL4C in 786-O cells,thus inhibiting the proliferation,migration and invasion of renal carcinoma cells.

Purpose::The reconstruction of Allen's type IV fingertip amputation is a clinical challenge. Our team designed bilateral unequal-sized hallux osteo-onychocutaneous free flaps for the long-term reconstruction of Allen's type IV fingertip amputation and conducted a retrospective study with a 5-year follow-up aims to evaluate the effects of this technique.Methods::A retrospective analysis with a 5-year follow-up including 13 patients with Allen's type IV fingertip amputation who were admitted to our hospital from January 2010 to January 2017 was conducted. The patients were treated with bilateral unequal-sized hallux osteo-onychocutaneous free flaps. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, and complications were recorded, and the survival rate of the transplanted flaps was calculated. During the 5-year follow-up after operation, the nail growth time was recorded and the finger appearance was observed. At the last follow-up appointment, the length, width, and girth of the reconstructed fingertip and contralateral normal fingertip, range of motion of the reconstructed fingertip and contralateral normal fingertip, Semmes-Weinstein test (for the evaluation of tactile sensation), and two-point discrimination testing results were recorded. SPSS 22.0 software was used for the statistical analysis and the data are presented as mean ± SD.Results::The mean operation time was (5.62 ± 0.51) h, the mean intraoperative blood loss was (34.15 ± 3.13) mL, and the survival rate of the transplanted flaps was 100%. During the 5-year follow-up, the average nail growth time was (10.14 ± 1.98) months and the average bone union time was (3.78 ± 0.91) months. The length, width, and girth of the reconstructed fingertip were (31.52 ± 3.73) mm, (17.82 ± 1.74) mm, and (59.75 ± 3.04) mm, respectively, which did not differ from those of the contralateral normal fingertip. The range of motion of the reconstructed fingertip was (12.15 ± 2.79) degrees which is different from that of the contralateral normal fingertip. The average tactile sensation evaluated via the Semmes-Weinstein test and the average two-point discrimination test of the reconstructed fingertip were (0.39 ± 0.17) g and (7.46 ± 1.14) mm, respectively, which were not different from those of the contralateral normal fingertip. The average Maryland score of feet in the donor area was 87.66 ± 7.39, which was satisfactory.Conclusion::Bilateral unequal-sized hallux osteo-onychocutaneous free flaps are an effective method to reconstruct Allen's type IV fingertip amputations with a satisfactory appearance and good sensory function.

The incidence of premature ovarian insufficiency(POI)is increasing and showing a trend of affecting younger women,which not only affects women's fertility,but also has the risk of low estrogen in the short and long term.The etiology of POI is complex and highly heterogeneous,including genetic factors,iatrogenic factors,autoimmune dysfunction,infection and environmental factors,but idiopathic POI still accounts for the majority.A lot of researches have focused on the correlation between autoimmune diseases and POI,among which autoimmune thyroid disease(AITD)plays an important role.Therefore,this article will review the current status of POI,the possible pathogenesis of AITD and related treatment progress.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia(BPD)in twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks,and to provide a basis for early identification of BPD in twin preterm infants in clinical practice.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the twin preterm infants with a gestational age of<34 weeks who were admitted to 22 hospitals nationwide from January 2018 to December 2020.According to their conditions,they were divided into group A(both twins had BPD),group B(only one twin had BPD),and group C(neither twin had BPD).The risk factors for BPD in twin preterm infants were analyzed.Further analysis was conducted on group B to investigate the postnatal risk factors for BPD within twins.Results A total of 904 pairs of twins with a gestational age of<34 weeks were included in this study.The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group C,birth weight discordance of>25%between the twins was an independent risk factor for BPD in one of the twins(OR=3.370,95%CI:1.500-7.568,P<0.05),and high gestational age at birth was a protective factor against BPD(P<0.05).The conditional logistic regression analysis of group B showed that small-for-gestational-age(SGA)birth was an independent risk factor for BPD in individual twins(OR=5.017,95%CI:1.040-24.190,P<0.05).Conclusions The development of BPD in twin preterm infants is associated with gestational age,birth weight discordance between the twins,and SGA birth.

Objective To explore the incidence and imaging characteristics of bifid ribs of Tibetan population in Kangbei area by multi-slice spiral CT(MSCT),in order to provide imaging reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods The imaging data of 1 253 Tibetan patients(661 males and 592 females)in Kangbei area who underwent chest MSCT examination were retrospectively analyzed.The incidence of bifid ribs and its differences between genders and sides were counted.The location of bifid ribs,the morphological charac-teristics of the junction of bifid ribs and costal cartilage,and the change of adjacent intercostal space were observed.Results Among 1 253 patients with chest MSCT,57 patients had bifid ribs,with a total of 64 bifid ribs.The incidence of bifid ribs at the patient level was 4.55%,of which 51 cases had single bifid rib and 6 cases had multiple bifid ribs;the incidence of bifid ribs in male was 4.99%(33/661),the female was 4.05%(24/592),and the difference between genders was not statistically significant(P>0.05).The incidence of bifid ribs was 56.14%(32/57)on the right side,33.33%(19/57)on the left side,and 10.53%(6/57)on both sides,the differences between different sides were statistically significant(P<0.05).The bifid ribs were found in the 2nd to 8th ribs,mainly in the 3rd to 5th ribs.A total of 55(85.94%)junctions of bifid ribs and costal cartilage were obturator type,5(7.81%)junctions were incompletehole shape type,3(4.69%)junctions were double costal cartilage type and 1(1.56%)junction was other type;62(96.88%)junctions were narrow in the upper intercostal space.Conclusion The incidence of bifid ribs of the Tibetan population in Kangbei area is 4.55%,which mainly occurs in the 3rd to 5th ribs,and the obturator type is more common,with the upper intercostal space narrow.MSCT can make accurate diagnosis of bifid ribs and provide accurate imaging evaluation for clinical practice.
