"MS/MS spectrum to structure"plays a critical role in the confirmative identification of complicated matrices and is currently regarded as an extremely challenging endeavor.MS/MS information provides vital clues to structural identification.In this study,a strategy was proposed to facilitate unambiguous identification through matching MS3 with MS2 spectra.Initially,MS3 spectra of the featured ions(c-and y-type ions)generated by the decomposition of ester functional group in esters and the MS2 spectrum of the structural unit([M-H]-)were all captured on the Qtrap-MS platform equipped with two tandem-in-space collision cells,including the second quadrupole cell(q2)and linear ion trap(LIT)chambers(actually the third quadrupole unit).Subsequently,the MS/MS spectrum matching between MS3 spectra of the ester compound and MS2 spectra of the structural unit(s)were achieved.As a result,the findings corresponding to MS3 and MS2 spectra matching were summarized.Finally,based on HR-MS/MS information of total salvianolic acid derivatives(TSA),36 kinds of compounds were preliminarily identified through matching with literature information and database retrieval.The applicability of MS3 and MS2 spectra matching strategy was further justified by the confirmative identification of phenolic acid compounds(Rosmarinic acid and salvianolic acid B)in TSA.Above all,MS3 and MS2 spectra matching strategy was quite meaningful towards advancing"MS/MS spectrum to structure"analysis through recognizing and identifying featured fragment ions,and also provided inspiration and new insights for the structural characterization.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Qiangli Pipa Syrup for the treatment of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD),and to observe its effects on pulmonary function and interleukin 6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP)and procalcitonin(PCT)levels in the patients.Methods Eighty patients with AECOPD of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,with 40 patients in each group.Patients in the control group were treated with conventional western medicine,and patients in the observation group were treated with Qiangli Pipa Syrup on the basis of treatment for the control group.Both groups were treated for 5 days.The two groups were observed in the changes of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores(including cough,expectoration,shortness of breath,and wheezing),pulmonary function parameters[the forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)and the ratio of FEV1 to the forced vital capacity(FVC)(FEV1/FVC)],blood gas indicators[arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),blood oxygen saturation(SaO2)and arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2)]and the levels of the inflammatory factors of IL-6,CRP,and PCT before and after treatment.Moreover,the clinical efficacy and safety of the patients in the two groups were evaluated.Results(1)After 5 days of treatment,the total effective rate of the observation group was 95.00%(38/40),and that of the control group was 77.50%(31/40).The intergroup comparison(tested by chi-square test)showed that the therapeutic effect of the observation group was significantly superior to that of the control group(P＜0.05).(2)After treatment,the TCM syndrome scores of cough,expectoration,shortness of breath,and wheezing in the two groups were reduced compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the reduction in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(3)After treatment,the pulmonary function parameters of FEV1/FVC and FEV1 in the two groups were improved compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the improvement in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(4)After treatment,the blood gas indicators of PaO2 and SaO2 levels in the two groups were increased compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the PaCO2 level was decreased compared with that before treatment(P＜0.05).The increase of PaO2 and SaO2 levels and the decrease of PaCO2 level in the observation group were significantly superior to those in the control group(P＜0.05).(5)After treatment,the serum levels of inflammatory factors of IL-6,CRP,and PCT in the two groups were lower than those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the reduction in the observation group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was 10.00%(4/40),while that in the control group was 7.50%(3/40).There was no significant difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Qiangli Pipa Syrup exerts certain effect in treating patients with AECOPD of phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome,which can effectively relieve the clinical symptoms,improve the pulmonary function and blood gas indicators,and inhibit inflammatory response of the patients,with high safety profile.

BACKGROUND:Acellular vascular scaffolds can mimic the microstructure and function of native blood vessels,but some extracellular matrix loss occurs during their preparation,which affects their hemocompatibility.Therefore,it is necessary to modify them to improve their hemocompatibility. OBJECTIVE:To assess the hemocompatibility of acellular vascular scaffold prepared by Triton-x100/heparin sodium treatment. METHODS:The abdominal aorta was taken from SD rats and randomly divided into control and experimental groups.The control group was treated with Triton-x100 for 48 hours.The experimental group was treated with Triton-x100 for 48 hours and then treated with heparin sodium.The morphology and hydrophilicity of the two groups of acellular vascular scaffolds were detected.The hemocompatibility of the two groups of acellular vascular scaffold was evaluated by recalcification coagulation time test,platelet adhesion test,dynamic coagulation time test,hemolysis test,and complement activation test. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Scanning electron microscopy showed that the surface of the two groups of vascular scaffolds was relatively intact,and a large number of fiber filaments appeared on the surface of the scaffolds after decellularity treatment,and the surface microstructure changed significantly.The water contact angle of the two groups of vascular scaffolds was smaller than that of natural vessels(P<0.000 1).There was no significant difference in water contact angle between the two groups(P>0.05).(2)The coagulation time of vascular scaffold was longer in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).The number of platelets attached to the scaffold membrane was less in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.000 1).The coagulation index was greater in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.01),and the complement level was lower in the experimental group than that in the control group(P<0.001).The hemolysis rate of the two groups was lower than 5%of the national standard.(3)To conclude,acellular scaffold treated with Triton-x100/heparin sodium has excellent hemocompatibility.

Objective To summarize the epidemiological and clinical features of infectious diseases of the central nervous system(CNS)by a single-center analysis.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 1247 cases of CNS infectious diseases diagnosed and treated in the First Medical Center of PLA General Hospital from 2001 to 2020.Results The data for this group of CNS infectious diseases by disease type in descending order of number of cases were viruses 743(59.6％),Mycobacterium tuberculosis 249(20.0％),other bacteria 150(12.0％),fungi 68(5.5％),parasites 18(1.4％),Treponema pallidum 18(1.4％)and rickettsia 1(0.1％).The number of cases increased by 177 cases(33.1％)in the latter 10 years compared to the previous 10 years(P<0.05).No significant difference in seasonal distribution pattern of data between disease types(P>0.05).Male to female ratio is 1.87︰1,mostly under 60 years of age.Viruses are more likely to infect students,most often at university/college level and above,farmers are overrepresented among bacteria and Mycobacterium tuberculosis,and more infections of Treponema pallidum in workers.CNS infectious diseases are characterized by fever,headache and signs of meningeal irritation,with the adductor nerve being the more commonly involved cranial nerve.Matagenomic next-generation sequencing improves clinical diagnostic capabilities.The median hospital days for CNS infectious diseases are 18.00(11.00,27.00)and median hospital costs are ￥29,500(￥16,000,￥59,200).The mortality rate from CNS infectious diseases is 1.6％.Conclusions The incidence of CNS infectious diseases is increasing last ten years,with complex clinical presentation,severe symptoms and poor prognosis.Early and accurate diagnosis and standardized clinical treatment can significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rate and ease the burden of disease.

The number of type 2 diabetes(T2DM)accounts for more than 90％of all Diabetes mellitus(DM).The decrease of islet β cell mass and dysfunction are the core links of T2DM.With the prolongation of the course of disease,the number and function of β cells are gradually attenuated,and the damage mechanism has not been elucidated.At present,it is believed that it is closely related to metabolic stress,abnormal regulation of insulin secretion,changes in islet microenvironment,mitochondrial damage,glycolipid toxicity and dedifferentiation of islet β cells.Therefore,the mechanism of islet β cell damage in T2DM is summarized and elaborated in order to provide some reference for the precise intervention of T2DM.

Objective:To establish a two-stage surgical procedure of impacted mandibular third molars (IMTM) extractions assisted by coronectomy and microimplant anchorage traction and to investigate the influencing factors of root movement and the effects of different traction angles on the clinical outcomes.Methods:Fifty-three IMTM in contact with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) that underwent tooth extraction in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Peking University School of Stomatology from January 2022 to June 2023 were included, with coronectomy and microimplant anchorage implantation in the first stage of the surgery, root traction was achieved with orthodontic elastic and microimplant anchorages by about 5.886 N of force, when the IMTM root was detached from IAN, a second surgery was performed to extract the residual root. The basic information of patients and M3M, data on the microimplant anchorage implantation and traction, imaging measurements, and complications were recorded and analyzed.Results:The movement distance of the residual roots was (1.80±0.92) mm, and the duration of traction was (32.9±7.9) d. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the residual root movement distance was significantly correlated with age, gender, number of roots, traction angle, and depth of the distal bone defect of the second molar ( P<0.05). The smaller the traction angle, the more significant the movement of the residual roots ( P=0.044). In one case, the patient experienced abnormal sensation in the lower lip 16 days after one IMTM (1.9%, 1/53) traction. Conclusions:The two-stage surgical method of combined coronectomy with rapid traction technique to extract the IMTM allows for rapid movement of the residual root and reduces the risk of IAN injury. The efficiency of root movement can be accelerated by appropriately reducing the traction angle during surgery. The traction effect can be predicted based on indicators such as age, gender, number of roots and depth of distal bone defects of second molar.
