ObjectiveTo discriminate the age of Arisaema Cum Bile, the combination of headspace solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was applied to explore the differences of volatile components of unfermented, 1-year fermented, 2-year fermented, and 3-year fermented Arisaema Cum Bile. MethodSamples with different fermentation durations were collected and HS-SPME-GC-MS technology was employed to detect the volatile components of each sample. The relative contents of detected volatile components were processed and analyzed by chemometrics methods such as principal component analysis (PCA), hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA). ResultThe results showed that 145 volatile components were identified. Among these volatile components, the relative contents of heterocyclic, alcohols, aldehydes and aromatics were high. PCA, HCA, and PLS-DA can effectively separate Arisaema Cum Bile with four different ages. Based on variable importance in projection (VIP) value > 1, 73 markers of differential volatile components were identified. The content of 2,6,11-trimethyldodecane and m-xylene in unfermented samples was the highest, and the content difference between them and those in fermented samples was significant (P<0.05). 2,3-butanediol was detected only in 1-year samples, octane was detected only in 2-year samples, and ethyl heptanoate was detected only in 3-year samples. These components can be used as odor markers for Arisaema Cum Bile with different fermentation years. ConclusionThe identification method of volatile components of Arisaema Cum Bile was established by HS-SPME-GC-MS technology, which can realize the rapid identification of unfermented, 1-year fermented, 2-year fermented, and 3-year fermented samples, and provide a scientific basis for the standardization of processing technology and quality standards of Arisaema Cum Bile.

BACKGROUND:Compared with traditional two-dimensional culture,three-dimensional microtissue culture can show greater advantages.However,more favorable cultivation methods in three-dimensional culture still need to be further explored. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the cell behavior of microtissue and its ability to promote cartilage formation under two three-dimensional culture methods. METHODS:Cartilage-derived microcarriers were prepared by chemical decellularization and tissue crushing.DNA quantification and nuclear staining were used to verify the success of decellularization,and histological staining was used to observe the matrix retention before and after decellularization.The microcarriers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and CCK-8 assay.Cartilage-derived microtissues were constructed by combining cartilage-derived microcarriers with human adipose mesenchymal stem cells through three-dimensional static culture and three-dimensional dynamic culture methods.The cell viability and chondrogenic ability of the two groups of microtissues were detected by scanning electron microscopy,live and dead staining,and RT-qPCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Cartilage-derived microcarriers were successfully prepared.Compared with before decellularization,the DNA content significantly decreased after decellularization(P<0.001).Scanning electron microscope observation showed that the surface of the microcarrier was surrounded by collagen,maintaining the characteristics of the natural extracellular matrix of cartilage cells.CCK-8 assay indicated that microcarriers had no cytotoxicity and could promote cell proliferation.(2)Scanning electron microscopy and live and dead staining results showed that compared with the three-dimensional static group,the three-dimensional dynamic group had a more extended morphology of microtissue cells,and extensive connections between cells and cells,between cells and matrix,and between matrix.(3)The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expressions of SOX9,proteoglycan,and type Ⅱ collagen in microtissues of both groups were increased at 7 or 14 days.The relative expression levels of each gene in the three-dimensional dynamic group were significantly higher than those in the three-dimensional static group at 14 days(P<0.05).At 21 days,the three-dimensional static group had significantly higher gene expression compared with the three-diomensional dynamic group(P<0.001).(4)The results showed that compared with three-dimensional static culture microtissue,three-dimensional dynamic culture microtissue could achieve higher expression of chondrogen-related genes in a shorter time,showing better cell viability and chondrogenic ability.

ObjectiveBased on non-targeted metabolomics, to analyze the regulation of endogenous differential metabolites in serum of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) rats by Fuling Yunhua granules, and to clarify the metabolic pathways through which this granules exerted its effect on improving T2DM. MethodSeventy SD rats, half male and half female, were randomly divided into the control group, model group, and high, medium, low dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules(20.70, 10.35, 5.18 g·kg-1 in raw drug amount) and the positive drug group(pioglitazone hydrochloride tablets, 8.1 mg·kg-1). Except for the control group, other groups were fed with high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ) to establish a T2DM rat model. After successful modeling, the treatment groups were administered the corresponding drugs by gavage, and the control group and model group were treated with an equal volume of saline by gavage, once/d, for 28 d. Fasting blood glucose(FBG) and glycosylated hemoglobin A1c(GHbA1c) levels were measured in all groups of rats during the administration period, and hematoxylin-eosin(HE) staining was used to observe the pathomorphological changes in the pancreatic tissues of rats at the end of the administration period. The endogenous metabolite levels in rat serum were detected by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap MS), and the data were processed using principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA). Differential metabolites were identified by the Human Metabolome Database(HMDB) and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG), and screened for differential metabolites with variable importance in the projection(VIP) value>1, P<0.05, and fold change(FC)<0.6 or FC>1. And the metabolic pathway enrichment analysis of the screened differential metabolites was performed by MetaboAnalyst 5.0, then the screened differential metabolites were diagnosed and evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curves. ResultCompared with the control group, the FBG level of rats in the model group increased significantly(P<0.01), the GHbA1c content tended to increase, but the difference was not statistically significant, and the pancreatic tissue of rats was obviously damaged, the number of pancreatic islets decreased, and the pancreatic β-cells were obviously reduced, atrophied and enlarged. Compared with the model group, the FBG levels of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules and the positive drug group were significantly reduced after 2 weeks of administration(P<0.05, P<0.01), the GHbA1c content of rats in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules was significantly reduced(P<0.05), and the pancreatic tissue lesions of rats in the different dose groups of Fuling Yunhua granules were reduced. The results of non-targeted metabolomics showed that 46 differential metabolites were significantly changed in the model group compared with the blank group. Pathway enrichment analysis found that T2DM mainly affected biological processes including biosynthesis of primary bile acid, D-amino acid metabolism, steroid hormone biosynthesis, and glycerophospholipid metabolism in rats. Compared with the model group, the levels of 8 differential metabolites in the high dose group of Fuling Yunhua granules were significantly adjusted, and the pathway enrichment analysis found that D-amino acid metabolism, retinol metabolism, glycine, serine and threonine metabolism, tryptophan metabolism and other metabolic pathways were mainly involved. ROC curves further analysis revealed that the four characteristic differential markers of 11-cis-retinol, D-piperidinic acid, D-serine, and p-cresol sulfate had high diagnostic value for the treatment of T2DM with Fuling Yunhua granules. ConclusionFuling Yunhua granules can improve the symptoms of T2DM rats by regulating the amino acid metabolic and retinol metabolic pathways through the modulation of endogenous differential metabolites.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effectiveness of Flow-through bridge anterolateral thigh flap transplantation in the treatment of complex calf soft tissue defects.
METHODS:
The clinical data of the patients with complicated calf soft tissue defects, who were treated with Flow-through bridge anterolateral thigh flap (study group, 23 cases) or bridge anterolateral thigh flap (control group, 23 cases) between January 2008 and January 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. All complex calf soft tissue defects in the two groups were caused by trauma or osteomyelitis, and there was only one major blood vessel in the calf or no blood vessel anastomosed with the grafted skin flap. There was no significant difference between the two groups in general data such as gender, age, etiology, size of leg soft tissue defect, and time from injury to operation ( P>0.05). The lower extremity functional scale (LEFS) was used to evaluate the sufferred lower extremity function of the both groups after operation, and the peripheral blood circulation score of the healthy side was evaluated according to the Chinese Medical Association Hand Surgery Society's functional evaluation standard for replantation of amputated limbs. Weber's quantitative method was used to detect static 2-point discrimination (S2PD) to evaluate peripheral sensation of the healthy side, and the popliteal artery flow velocity, toenail capillary filling time, foot temperature, toe blood oxygen saturation of the healthy side, and the incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.
RESULTS:
No vascular or nerve injury occurred during operation. All flaps survived, and 1 case of partial flap necrosis occurred in both groups, which healed after free skin grafting. All patients were followed up 6 months to 8 years, with a median time of 26 months. The function of the sufferred limb of the two groups recovered satisfactorily, the blood supply of the flap was good, the texture was soft, and the appearance was fair. The incision in the donor site healed well with a linear scar, and the color of the skin graft area was similar. Only a rectangular scar could be seen in the skin donor area where have a satisfactory appearance. The blood supply of the distal limb of the healthy limb was good, and there was no obvious abnormality in color and skin temperature, and the blood supply of the limb was normal during activity. The popliteal artery flow velocity in the study group was significantly faster than that in the control group at 1 month after the pedicle was cut, and the foot temperature, toe blood oxygen saturation, S2PD, toenail capillary filling time, and peripheral blood circulation score were significantly better than those in the control group ( P<0.05). There were 8 cases of cold feet and 2 cases of numbness on the healthy side in the control group, while only 3 cases of cold feet occurred in the study group. The incidence of complications in the study group (13.04%) was significantly lower than that in the control group (43.47%) ( χ 2=3.860, P=0.049). There was no significant difference in LEFS score between the two groups at 6 months after operation ( P>0.05).
CONCLUSION
Flow-through bridge anterolateral thigh flap can reduce postoperative complications of healthy feet and reduce the impact of surgery on blood supply and sensation of healthy feet. It is an effective method for repairing complex calf soft tissue defects.

Objective:To explore the value of different levels of sonographers and International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) simple rules in judging benign and malignant ovarian tumors.Methods:The ultrasound images of 182 patients treated in Beijing Tiantan Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2017 to November 2020 with ovarian tumors were retrospectively analyzed. The ovarian tumors were diagnosed by two senior sonographers and two junior sonographers without knowing the pathological diagnosis. Another junior sonographer trained in IOTA terminology and simple rules applied IOTA simple rules to diagnose 182 ovarian tumors. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the diagnosis of ovarian tumors by senior sonographers, junior sonographers and IOTA simple rules were calculated using the postoperative pathological diagnosis as the gold standard. The Kappa value was calculated for the consistency between different levels of sonographers and the IOTA simple rules and pathological diagnosis.Results:Of the 182 cases, 61 cases were pathologically benign and 121 cases were pathologically malignant. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of senior sonographers were 93.4%, 99.2%, 97.2%, respectively, Kappa value was 0.938. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of junior sonographers were 80.3%, 90.0%, 86.8%, respectively, Kappa value was 0.704. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of IOTA simple rules(When an uncertain tumor was classified as malignant) were 95.0%, 73.5%, 80.7%, respectively, Kappa value was 0.614. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of IOTA simple rules(when an uncertain tumor was excluded) were 94.2%, 90.9%, 92.0%, respectively, Kappa value was 0.834.Conclusions:IOTA simple rules is a very useful diagnostic tool for junior sonographers to judge benign and malignant ovarian tumors. When IOTA simple principle is judged as an uncertain case, it is recommended to refer to experienced senior sonographers for further diagnosis.
