OBJECTIVE To establish the HPLC fingerprint of Xintong granules and the quantitative analysis of multi- components by single-marker method （QAMS） to determine the contents of 7 components， so as to provide a scientific basis for their quality control. METHODS HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprints for 10 batches of Xintong granules （No. S1- S10）， and similarity evaluation， cluster analysis （CA） and partial least squares-discriminant analysis （PLS-DA） were performed. At the same time， the contents of seven components， including puerarin， daidzin， calycosin-7-O- β -D-glucoside， stilbene glycoside， naringin， icariin and tanshinone ⅡA， were determined by QAMS method， and were compared with the results of external standard method. RESULTS A total of 18 common peaks were marked and 7 peaks were identified in the HPLC fingerprints for 10 batches of Xintong granules， namely puerarin （peak 4）， daidzin （peak 7）， calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside （peak 9）， stilbene glycoside （peak 10）， naringin （peak 12）， icariin （peak 17）， and tanshinone ⅡA （peak 18）； the similarities among them were more than 0.990， and CA and PLS-DA results showed that S4-S5，S8-S10，S1-S3 and S6-S7 were clustered into three categories， respectively. Using naringin as the internal standard， the contents of puerarin， daidzin， calycosin-7-O-β-D-glucoside， stilbene glycoside， icariin and tanshinone ⅡA were determined to be 7.868 1-10.181 2， 1.709 2-2.374 1， 0.285 2-0.326 3， 1.024 1- 1.523 9， 0.140 2-0.290 4， and 0.077 1-0.219 4 mg/g， respectively， by the QAMS. These results showed no significant differences compared to those obtained by the external standard method. CONCLUSIONS Established HPLC fingerprint and QAMS method are convenient， stable and accurate， which can provide a basis for the quality evaluation of Xintong granules.

Background With the progression of industrialization, an increasing number of emerging contaminants are entering aquatic environments, posing significant threats to the safety of drinking water. Therefore, establishing a system for identifying unknown hazardous factors and implementing safety warning mechanisms for drinking water is of paramount importance. Among these efforts, non-target screening plays a critical role, but its effectiveness is largely constrained by the scope of coverage of sample pre-treatment methods. Objective To integrate modern chromatography/mass spectrometry techniques with advanced data mining methods to develop a non-discriminatory sample pre-treatment method for comprehensive enrichment of unknown contaminants in drinking water, laying a technical foundation for the discovery and identification of unknown organic hazardous factors in drinking water. Methods A non-discriminatory pre-treatment method based on supramolecular and solid-phase extraction was developed. The final target compounds including 333 pesticides, 194 pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs), and 59 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) were used for optimizing the pre-treatment method, confirming its coverage. The impacts of different eluents on the absolute recovery rates of target compounds were compared to select the conditions with the highest recovery for sample pre-treatment. The effects of different supramolecular solvents and salt concentrations on target compound recovery were also evaluated to determine the most suitable solvent and salt concentration. Results The solid-phase extraction elution solvents, supramolecular extraction solvents, and salt concentrations were optimized based on the target compound recovery rates. The optimal recovery conditions were achieved using 2 mL methanol, 2 mL methanol (containing 1% formic acid), 2 mL ethyl acetate, 2 mL dichloromethane, hexanediol supramolecular solvent, and 426 mg salt. The detection method developed based on these conditions showed a good linear relationship for all target compounds in the range of 0.1-100.0 ng·mL⁻¹, with R² > 0.99. The method’s limit of detection ranged from 0.01 ng⁻¹ to 0.95 ng⁻¹, and 95% of target compounds were recovered in the range of 20%-120%, with relative standard deviation (RSD) less than 30%, indicating good precision. Conclusion The combined pre-treatment method of solid-phase extraction and supramolecular solvent extraction can effectively enrich contaminants in drinking water across low, medium, and high polarities, enabling broad-spectrum enrichment of diverse trace contaminants in drinking water. It provides technical support for broad-spectrum, high-throughput screening and identification of organic pollutants in drinking water, and also serves as a reference for establishing urban drinking water public safety warning systems.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R) and the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) during the reduction of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by electroacupuncture (EA) preconditioning in rats.Methods:Forty SPF healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 7-9 weeks, weighing 250-280 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=8 each) according to the random number table method: sham operation group (Sham group), cerebral I/R group (I/R group), EA preconditioning group (EA group), CB1R antagonist AM251+ EA preconditioning group (AM251+ EA group), and CB1R agonist WIN 55, 212-2 group (WIN group). Cerebral I/R was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in anesthetized animals. In EA group, EA preconditioning was performed, and the acupoint Baihui (GV20) was stimulated for 30 min with disperse-dense waves, the intensity of 1 mA and frequency of 2/15 Hz once a day for 5 consecutive days, and the model of cerebral I/R injury was developed at 24 h after the last EA. In AM251+ EA group, CB1R antagonist AM251 1 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 30 min before each stimulation, and the remaining operations were the same as those previously described in EA group. CB1R agonist WIN 55, 212-2 1.5 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected for 5 consecutive days, and the model of cerebral I/R injury was prepared at 24 h after the last injection in WIN group. Neurological behavior was assessed and scored at 3 days of reperfusion. Then the rats were sacrificed, and brains were removed, and the infarct volume was measured by TTC staining, and the tissues in the ischemic penumbra were extracted for determination of the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and interleukin-1bata (IL-1β) by Western blot. Results:Compared with Sham group, the percentage of cerebral infarct volume was significantly increased, the neurobehavioral score was decreased, and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1β was up-regulated in I/R group ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, the percentage of cerebral infarct volume was significantly decreased, the neurobehavioral score was increased, and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1β was down-regulated in EA and WIN groups ( P<0.05). Compared with EA group, the percentage of cerebral infarct volume was significantly increased, the neurobehavioral score was decreased, and the expression of NLRP3, caspase-1 and IL-1β was up-regulated in AM251+ EA group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:EA preconditioning may inhibit the activation of NLRP3 inflammasomes by activating CB1R, thus alleviating cerebral I/R injury in rats.

Objective : To establish a laboratory model of heroin addiction in C57BL /6 mice based on associative learning mechanisms． Methods: The black box and white box were selected as the memory training environment， and three behavioral training paradigms were studied : ① Pavlovian conditional position preference ( CPP) training paradigm，mice were placed in the white box for memory reinforcement training for 30 min after intraperitoneal injection of 0. 1 ml of corresponding concentrations (5. 0，10. 0，20. 0 mg / kg) of heroin at 9 :00 a．m．，and 24 h later 0. 1 ml of 0. 9% NaCl solution was injected intraperitoneally into the black box for training，and after the training，the mice were tested for their memory preference for the black and white boxes (movement time of different boxes) . ② A naloxone conditional position aversion ( CPA) training paradigm was conductedbased on the results of the CPP training paradigm. ③ Behavioral sensitization training paradigm，heroin addiction rating scale was established based on the statistical results of 3 behavioral experiments and the lethality of experimental animal disease mice after drug administration．Three different doses of heroin (5. 0，10. 0，20. 0 mg / kg) were selected to induce heroin addiction，and the most appropriate heroin concentration was selected by the results on the rating scale. Results: In the CPP training paradigm，CPP was observed in all heroin groups (P＜0. 05，P＜0. 001，P＜0. 05) ．In the CPA training paradigm，the CPA induction rate was highest in the 10. 0 mg / kg heroin group compared to the control group (P ＜0. 01 ) ．In the behavioral sensitization training paradigm ，all heroin groups caused behavioral sensitization changes (P＜0. 001) ; but the 5. 0 and 10. 0 mg / kg heroin groups did not cause animal mortality．Overall，the 10. 0 mg / kg heroin group had the highest dose score on the rating scale．It could be used as a concentration to establish a stable experimental animal model of heroin addiction． Conclusion The study was effective in establishing a heroin addiction model in mice，and it was suitable for modeling drug concentration screening，with high animal survival rate and simple and practical．The combined learning mechanism can effectively shorten the model establishment period.

Objective: To establish a rat model of preeclampsia (PE) in early pregnancy and to observe the changes in phenotype，pregnancy outcome and cognitive ability of offspring． Methods : The pregnant rats were randomly divided into model group and control group．Ultra-low dose lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (0. 5 μg / kg) and an equal volume of normal saline were injected into the tail vein of pregnant rats on the fifth day of pregnancy．The levels of blood pressure ，12-hour urinary protein ，peripheral blood coagulation factors and placental cytokines in the two groups were measured．Furthermore，placental pathology，pregnancy outcomes，and cognitive abilities of offspring were observed. Results: Blood pressure and urinary protein levels of model group were significantly higher than those of control group levels．Compared with the control group，the levels of platelet and antithrombin Ⅲ (AT Ⅲ) in the peripheral blood of pregnant rats in the model group were lower than those in the control group，while D-dimer was higher than that in the control group，the weight of the fetus and placenta in the model group decreased (P ＜0. 001) ，the expression levels of interleukin ( IL) -6，tumor necrosis factor α ( TNF-α) and interferon gamma (INF-γ) in peripheral blood increased，while the expression level of transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) decreased(P＜0. 001) ．The water maze test showed that the latency of the offspring of the model group to the plat- form was longer than that of the control group (P＜0. 05) ，while the frequency of crossing the platform quadrant and the time of staying in the platform quadrant of the model group were lower than those of the control group (P < 0. 05 ) ．HE and PAS staining showed that there were infiltration of inflammatory cells in the basal layer of placenta， obvious decrease of blood vessels in labyrinthine area，slight edema of renal interstitium and degeneration of local renal tubular epithelial cells in the model group，while there were no above pathological changes in placenta and kidney in the control group． Conclusion A single injection of LPS in early pregnancy can successfully induce PE- related symptoms and adverse pregnancy outcomes such as fetal growth restriction and lead to the decline of cogni- tive ability of offspring.

" Dual-channel" management is an important management measure to solve the difficulty of national medicare negotiated drugs entering the hospital and improve the accessibility of the drugs. China clearly included some social pharmacies into the supply guarantee channel of national medicare negotiated drugs, and formed a " dual-channel" supply mode for negotiated drugs together with the hospital supply. By sorting out China′s national medicare negotiated drugs policy management documents and the management modes and specific measures in various regions and periods, this paper summarized and analyzed the progress of process management, multi-level medical security integration, remote handling, drug safety supervision, and information construction in various regions. Based on the relevant policy guidance and local practical experience, the authors explored and optimized the " dual-channel" landing management, so as to provide reference and suggestions for further improving the accessibility of national medicare negotiated drugs and giving full play to the effectiveness of medical security.

Objective : To study the effect of EFHD2 protein deletion in Sertoli cells on Occludin，a component of tight junction protein and the localization and expression of EF-hand domain family member D2 (EFHD2) in mouse testis． Methods : Total RNA and protein were extracted from adult mice's heart ，liver ，spleen ，lung ，kidney， brain and testis tissues．The mRNA and protein levels of EFHD2 in each organ tissue were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot．Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry detected the localization and expression of EF- HD2 in testicular tissues．SiRNA interference was used to reduce EFHD2 in Sertoli cells to detect Occludin protein expression. Results : qRT-PCR showed that the expression of EFHD2 was the highest in the testis．Western blot results showed that the expression level increased in testis tissue．Indirect immunofluorescence and immunohisto- chemistry results showed that the protein was mainly distributed in Sertoli cells and co-localized with cytoskeletal Vimentin，indicating that the protein was expressed in Sertoli cells．After the decrease of EFHD2 protein expres- sion，Occludin protein expression also decreased． Conclusion The expression of EFHD2 protein in the testis is relatively high，mainly distributed in Sertoli cells of the testis，co-localized with Vimentin，and can affect the nor- mal expression of tight junction protein Occludin．It is suggested that EFHD2 can promote and maintain the junction structure of Sertoli cells and provide a stable microenvironment for spermatogenesis.
