Direct compression is an ideal method for tablet preparation, but it requires the powder's high functional properties. The functional properties of the powder during compression directly affect the quality of the tablet. 15 parameters such as Py, FES-8KN, FES-12KN, FES-16KN, CR-8KN, CR-12KN, and CR-16KN were used as the characteristic variables in this paper. Unsupervised learning methods like principal component analysis, cluster analysis, and factor analysis were applied to analyze and classify the compression behavior data of 36 traditional Chinese medicine powders. The results showed that both different dimensionality reduction classification methods could effectively differentiate the compression behavior characteristics of 36 traditional Chinese medicine compound powders. The hierarchical cluster analysis results showed a better agreement with the actual compression phenomena of the powders, where group 1 was high elasticity and low compressibility, group 2 was easily compressed and hard to break, group 3 was excellent compressibility and compactibility. This study is expected to provide references and ideas for predicting the behavior of traditional Chinese medicine powders and the screening of tablet formulations.

Objective To investigate the relationship and potential pathways between metal(loid)exposure and the risk of polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS)in women of childbearing age. Methods This case-control study included 200 patients with PCOS(cases)and 896 non-PCOS controls with the age of 25-37 years.The concentrations of 29 metal(loid)s in the follicular fluid(FF)and clinical indicators in the serum were measured in all participants.Logistic regression analysis and mediation analysis were conducted to evaluate the associations between metal(loid)exposure and PCOS risk and investigate the possible roles of clinical indicators,respectively. Results Logistic regression analysis revealed an association between high copper levels in FF and increased PCOS risk(highest vs.lowest quartile:adjusted odds ratio=2.94,95%confidence interval:1.83-4.72).A high luteinizing hormone/follicle-stimulating hormone ratio and elevated levels of testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)were strongly associated with increased PCOS risk induced by high copper exposure.The mediation analysis indicated a mediating effect of AMH in the association between copper exposure and PCOS risk. Conclusion Copper may affect PCOS risk through the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis,mediated by AMH.Copper exposure and internal AMH levels are important indicators for early warning of PCOS development.

Objective To investigate the satisfaction of clinical trial service quality of hospitals in Shanghai for clinical research associate(CRA),so as to provide reference for improving the quality of clinical trial service.Methods From Oct to Nov 2023,CRAs were surveyed using the revised SERVQUAL(service quality)scale.The questionnaire included 29 items in 5 dimensions of assurance,reliability,tangibility,responsiveness and empathy.Based on the modified importance-performance analysis(IPA)analysis,it was figured out which item was in the improvement area.Results A total of 163 CRAs from 10 companies were surveyed,and 160 valid questionnaires were collected.According to the revised IPA,6,2,1,2 and 2 items of the dimensions of assurance,reliability,tangibility,responsiveness and empathy fell into the improvement area,respectively.Conclusion CRAs surveyed may not be satisfied with the clinical trial service of Shanghai hospitals.We need to propose optimization strategies to improve the quality of clinical trial service from the aspects of standardization awareness,review mode,process acquisition,response and management system flexibility.

Objective Based on the theory of five circuits and six qi,the characteristics of circuit-qi indicators of the date of birth of hospitalized patients with pneumonia of Shaoyin-disease syndrome were explored.Methods The data collection was conducted in 422 hospitalized patients with pneumonia of shaoyin-disease syndrome admitted to the Department of Classical Chinese Medicine,Fangcun Hospital of Guangdong Provincinal Hospital of Chinese Medicine from January 20,2012 to June 30,2022.And then statistical analysis was performed for circuit-qi indicators of the date of birth of the patients.Results The goodness of fit by chi-square test showed that there were statistically significant differences in the distribution of the heavenly-stem year,earthly-branch year,yearly circuit,recombinant yearly circuit,predominant qi,and sitian-zaiquan(circuit qi of the first and second half of a year)at birthdate of hospitalized patients with pneumonia of shaoyin-disease syndrome(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001).And the results indicated that a higher risk of suffering from pneumonia of shaoyin-disease syndrome existed in the population born in the heavenly-stem ji year and earthly-branch chou year,in the yearly circuit being deficient earth circuit,in the recombinant yearly circuit being wind,in the predominant qi being taiyin damp earth,and in the sitian-zaiquan being taiyin damp earth and taiyang cold-water.Conclusion There is a correlation between the incidence of pneumonia of shaoyin-disease syndrome and the circuit-qi indicators of the date of birth of the patients,and the pathogenesis of circuits and qi at birth date is probably related with yang deficiency of spleen and kidney,and cold interweaved with dampness.

Aim To study the main active ingredients,key targets and pathways of Cigu Xiaozhi Decoction(CXD)based on network pharmacology,and to ana-lyze and verify the mechanism of CXD on the transfor-mation of"inflammatory cancer"in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis(NASH)by animal experiments.Meth-ods The potential targets and signaling pathways of CXD in the treatment of NASH"inflammatory carcino-ma"were predicted based on network pharmacology.The mouse model of NASH was induced by methionine-choline deficiency diet(MCD),and CXD and epider-mal growth factor receptor(EGFR)inhibitors were given for 28 days.The mice were killed after the inter-vention,and the liver histopathology of each group was observed by hematoxylin-eosin method(HE).The rel-ative expression levels of EGFR,phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)and protein kinase B(AKT)in liver tissue of mice in each group were detected by Western blot.The contents of interleukin-6(IL-6),interleu-kin-1 β(IL-1β)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosor-bent assay(ELISA).Results A total of 284 poten-tial active components,159 potential therapeutic tar-gets and 20 key targets of CXD were identified by net-work pharmacological screening.CXD could affect multiple biological processes such as cell proliferation and inflammatory response,involving multiple signa-ling pathways such as tumor and PI3K/AKT.Animal experiments showed that CXD could reduce the levels of IL-6,IL-1β and TNF-α in serum of NASH mice.The relative expression of PI3K and AKT protein in liv-er tissue decreased,and the relative expression of EG-FR protein was increased.Conclusion CXD can reg-ulate EGFR/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by partici-pating in biological processes such as cell proliferation and inflammatory response,and improve liver tissue injury in NASH mice.
