Comparison of chemical components between aerial and underground parts of Coptis chinensis based on UPLC-Q-TOF-MS~E technology / 中国中药杂志

The ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS~E) technology was employed to compare the chemical components between the aerial and underground parts of Coptis chinensis samples from different batches. According to the retention time, molecular ion peak, and LC-MS~E fragment information of the reference substances and available literature, we identified a total of 40 components. Thirty-three and 31 compounds were respectively identified in the underground part(taproots) and the aerial part(stems and leaves) of C. chinensis. Among them, 24 compounds, including alkaloids(e.g., berberine and jatrorrhizine) and phenolic acids(e.g., chlorogenic acid, quinic acid, and tanshinol), were common in the two parts. In addition, differential components were also identified, such as magnoline glucoside in the underground part and(±) lariciresionol-4-β-D-glucopyranoside in the aerial part. The analysis of fragmentation pathways based on spectra of reference substances indicated the differences among samples of different batches. Furthermore, we performed the principal component analysis(PCA) for the peak areas of C. chinensis in different batches. The results showed that the underground part and the aerial part were clearly clustered into two groups, indicating that the chemical components contained in the two parts were different. Furthermore, the results of partial least squares discriminant analysis(PLS-DA) identified 31 differential compounds(VIP value>1) between the underground part and the aerial part, mainly including alkaloids, phenolic acids, lignans, and flavonoids. This study proves that C. chinensis possesses great development potential with multiple available compounds in stems and leaves. Moreover, it sheds light on for the development and utilization of non-medicinal organs of C. chinensis and other Chinese medicinal herbs.

The exercise tolerance and ventilatory efficiency of lung cancer patients with type 2 diabetes / 中华物理医学与康复杂志

Objective:To explore the aerobic exercise tolerance and ventilatory efficiency during cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) of persons with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) complicated by type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods:Forty-eight persons with NSCLC and T2DM formed an NSCLC-T2DM group while another 48 persons with NSCLC but not T2DM formed an NSCLC-non T2DM group. Another 24 healthy counterparts were enrolled into the control group. All completed CPET before pneumonectomies were performed on those with NSCLC. Indexes of static pulmonary function, exercise tolerance, heart rate recovery, ventilation efficiency and gas exchange were computed.Results:Compared with the control group, both NSCLC groups had, on average, lower peak oxygen uptake (VO 2peak), lower anaerobic thresholds (ATs) and lower peak O 2 pulse rates. They also had higher average VE/VCO 2 slopes and VE/VCO 2 nadirs. Compared with the NSCLC-non T2DM group, those with T2DM had a significantly lower average VO 2peak and WRpeak, as well as significantly higher average VE/VCO 2 slope and VE/VCO 2 nadir. Compared with the control group, the average VO 2 and VCO 2 of both NSCLC groups was lower at the AT and during peak exercise, with the NSCLC-T2DM group′s averages significantly lower than those of the NSCLC-non T2DM group during peak exercise. During warm-up and at the AT, the NSCLC groups had a significantly higher average heart rate than the control group. Then, compared with the control group and the NSCLC-non T2DM group, the average heart rate in the NSCLC-T2DM group decreased significantly more slowly during the first three minutes of the recovery period. Compared with the control group, the VE/VCO 2 values of the NSCLC groups were significantly higher at the AT and during peak exercise. During the warm-up and at the AT, the average partial pressures of end-tidal carbon dioxide in the NSCLC groups were significantly lower than among control group, and during peak exercise the NSCLC-T2DM group′s average value was significantly lower than the control group′s. Compared with the control group and the NSCLC-non T2DM group, the NSCLC-T2DM group′s average forced expiratory volume in one second, forced vital capacity, peak expiratory flow rate and maximum voluntary ventilation were all significantly lower. Conclusions:Diabetes impairs the exercise tolerance and ventilation efficiency of persons with NSCLC. Without diabetes their exercise tolerance and ventilation efficiency would be impaired only slightly. CPET can provide a basis for risk assessment before pneumonectomy.

Clinicopathological features and myeloid differentiation factor 88 L265P gene mutation in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of central nervous system / 中华神经科杂志

Objective:To analyze the clinical features and mutation of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MYD88) L265P in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of central nervous system (CNS).Methods:The clinicopathological materials of 45 cases of DLBCL of CNS were retrospectively collected in Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from September 2014 to February 2017. The clinicopathological data were retrospectively analyzed, combined with immunohistochemistry, EB virus in situ hybridization, imaging and medical history. The mutation of MYD88 L265P gene was detected by pyrosequencing and its clinical significance was analyzed. Results:The age of the patients ranged from 42 to 82 years [(57.6±8.8) years], including 24 males and 21 females. Totally 93.3% (42/45) of the patients had supratentorial tumours, which were single or multiple. The cerebral hemisphere (31/45, 68.9%) was the most common involved site, and 21 cases (21/45, 46.7%) had multiple lesions. Histologically, DLBCL in the CNS showed diffuse infiltration of tumor tissue, some of which grew around blood vessels in a "sleeve" arrangement. CD 20 and CD 79a were diffusely and strongly positive. Thirty-nine cases (39/45, 86.7%) were non-germinal center B cell (non-GCB) subtype and 6 cases (6/45, 13.3%) were germinal center B cell (GCB) subtype. MYD88 L265P mutation was found in 64.4% (29/45) patients. There was statistically significant difference between non-GCB type (71.8%, 28/39) and GCB type DLBCL (1/6, P=0.017). Compared with the operation/biopsy group without chemotherapy, operation+chemotherapy, biopsy+chemotherapy, operation/biopsy+chemotherapy+stem cell transplantation can improve the survival and prognosis ( HR=0.05, 95% CI 0.01-0.33 , P=0.002; HR=0.04, 95% CI 0.01-0.36 , P=0.004; HR=0.01, 95% CI 0.00-0.17 , P=0.001; respectively). Conclusions:DLBCL of the CNS is aggressive tumor with poor prognosis, the clinical manifestations are complex and diverse, and the diagnosis is challenging. MYD88 L265P is a common and specific gene mutation in primary CNS lymphoma(PCNSL), which is of great significance in the diagnosis and treatment of lymphoma. The MYD88 L265P mutation was more frequently detected in non-GCB than GCB subtype. Chemotherapy can improve the survival rate of PCNSL patients. If chemotherapy achieves complete remission and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is performed, there may be a chance of long-term survival.

A novel pathogenic mutation in the NEMO gene in a family with incontinentia pigmenti / 中华皮肤科杂志

Objective:To identify gene mutations in a family with incontinentia pigmenti, in order to confirm pathogenic mutations.Methods:Clinical data were collected from all patients in a family with incontinentia pigmenti. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood samples obtained from the patients, healthy members in the family, and 100 unrelated healthy controls, and Sanger sequencing was performed for all exons and their flanking sequences of the NEMO gene.Results:Totally, there were 4 patients in the 4-generation family, who all presented with typical skin lesions and different symptoms. Genetic testing indicated that the proband and the other 3 patients all carried a heterozygous nonsense mutation c.1153C>T (p.Gln385X) at position 1153 in exon 8 of the NEMO gene, which led to the substitution of the glutamine codon (CAG) by the termination codon (TAG) at amino acid position 385. The mutation was not identified in the 14 healthy relatives or 100 unrelated healthy controls. The mutation cosegregated with incontinentia pigmenti in the family. Database searching confirmed the mutation to be a novel nonsense mutation, and it was considered as a very strong pathogenic locus according to the American College of Medical Genetic and Genomics guidelines.Conclusion:The mutation c.1153C>T in the NEMO gene is associated with the occurrence of incontinentia pigmenti in this family.

Risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma after sustained virologic response in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection / 中华传染病杂志

Objective:To investigate the risk factors for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.Methods:Patients with chronic HCV infection who were treated in Tianjin Second People′s Hospital from January 2012 to April 2019 were enrolled and the incidence of new HCC was retrospectively analyzed. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the risk factors for HCC.Results:Among the 644 patients with chronic HCV infection, 421 cases (65.4%) had chronic hepatitis C(CHC), 223 cases (34.6%) had hepatitis C cirrhosis, and 34 cases had new HCC. No patient without cirrhosis developed HCC. Cox proportional hazards multivariate analysis showed that Child-Pugh grade B or above (hazard ratio ( HR)=6.050, 95% confidence interval ( CI) 2.658 to 13.771, P<0.001), drinking history ( HR=3.077, 95% CI 1.428 to 6.634, P=0.004), family history of cancer ( HR=2.376, 95% CI 1.155 to 4.888, P=0.019), age≥60 years old ( HR=3.301, 95% CI 1.563 to 6.974, P=0.002), controlled attenuation parameter>292 dB/m ( HR=3.842, 95% CI 1.543 to 9.565, P=0.004) were risk factors for HCC. Conclusions:Patients with CHC, especially cirrhosis, are still at risk of HCC post-SVR. HCC monitoring should be strengthened for individuals over 60 years of age, Child-Pugh grade B or above, with severe fatty liver disease, drinking history or family history of malignancy.

Improvement on Quality Standard of Belladonnae Herba / 中国实验方剂学杂志

ObjectiveTo improve the current standard of Belladonnae Herba in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. MethodTaking hyoscyamine sulfate， atropine sulfate and scopoletin as reference substances， and ethyl acetate-methanol-concentrated ammonia（17∶4∶2）as developing solvent， thin layer chromatography （TLC） was applied in the qualitative identification of Belladonnae Herba. The moisture， total ash and ethanol-soluble extract of Belladonnae Herba were determined based on the general principles in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （volume Ⅳ）. The contents of hyoscyamine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） with mobile phase of acetonitrile-54 mmol·L-1 phosphate buffer solution （14∶86）， flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1 and detection wavelength at 210 nm. ResultThe spots in the TLC were clear with good separation and specificity. Hyoscyamine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide showed a good linearity with peak area in the range of 0.024 7-0.789 6 g·L-1 （r=0.999 9） and 0.003 9-0.124 0 g·L-1 （r=0.999 9）， the average recoveries of these two ingredients were 100.29% （RSD 1.6%） and 99.04% （RSD 1.4%）， respectively. The limits for moisture， total ash in Belladonnae Herba should be less than 13.0% and the limit for the ethanol-soluble extract should be more than 10.0%. Due to the low content and wide variation of scopolamine hydrobromide， the content of hyoscyamine sulfate should not be less than 0.098%. ConclusionThe established method is simple， specific and reproducible， which can be used to improve the quality control standard of Belladonnae Herba.

ObjectiveTo develop a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single marker （QAMS） for determination of bufalin， cinobufagin and resibufogenin in Shexiang Baoxin pills， and to provide a method for improving the national standard of the pills. MethodHigh performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） was developed for simultaneous determination of bufalin， cinobufagin and resibufogenin in Shexiang Baoxin pills and the methodology validation was carried out. The chromatographic separation was performed on a Nucleosil 100-5 C18 column （4.6 mm×250 mm， 5 μm） with the mobile phase of acetonitrile -0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution （pH adjusted to 3.2 with phosphoric acid） （48∶52）， and the flow rate was 0.6 mL·min-1， the detection wavelength was set at 296 nm and the column temperature was 35 ℃. Taking cinobufagin as the internal standard， the relative correction factors （RCFs） of bufalin and resibufogenin were calculated， and the key influencing factors of RCFs were investigated. Relative retention time was used for the chromatographic peak location of the analyte， combining with the on-line ultraviolet spectroscopy and accurate relative molecular weight obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry （UPLC-QTOF/MS）. The external standard method was used to verify the contents of three components obtained by QAMS. ResultQAMS was established for the determination of bufalin， cinobufagin and resibufogenin in the samples， and RCFs of cinobufagin to bufalin and resibufogenin were 0.922 and 1.01， respectively. The total content of the three marker compounds in 11 batches of Shexiang Baoxin pills was 33.7-36.0 µg per pill. There was no significant difference between the quantitative results of QAMS and external standard method. ConclusionThe established method can be used for the quality control of bufalin， cinobufagin and resibufogenin in Shexiang Baoxin pills. It is suggested that bufalin should be considered as one of three marker compounds， and the sum of bufalin， cinobufagin and resibufogenin should be used for the content limit of this preparation.

Views on Key Technical Problems in Research and Development of Famous Classical Formulas / 中国实验方剂学杂志

In this paper， the key technical problems in the research and development of famous classical formulas are analyzed. Firstly， the puzzled problem for a long-time， which is conversion relationship from medicinal metrology of Han dynasty （HD） to that of modern （gram，g）， is comprehensively expounded that one Liang （两） of HD=3 g is more appropriate. Secondly， the model and principles of quality consistency evaluation are given for the transformation from the quality of authoritative basic sample prepared by casserole （ABS-C） to the quality consistency in Laboratory process， pilot-scale process and industrial production. The consistency evaluation model is ξABS-X=K1（Q1ABS-X/Q1ABS-C）+K2（Q2ABS-X/Q2ABS-C）+……+Ki（QiABS-X/QiABS-C）=∑Ki（QiABS-X/QiABS-C）（i=1，2，3……n）. In the formula， ABS-X means laboratory reference sample ABS-C （ABS-L）， pilot-scale ABS-C （ABS-mP） or industrial production ABS-C （ABS-P）， ξABS-X means the quality consistency rate or similarity degree of ABS-L， ABS-mP and ABS-P processes with ABS-C， Ki means the weight of each quality evaluation index （i）， QiABS-X is the data of i in ABS-L， ABS-mP， ABS-P samples， and QiABS-C is the data （or mean） of i in ABS-C sample. Thirdly， in order to control the quality of the herbal medicines whose active ingredients were unknown， their chemical constituents should be studied deeply， and if necessary， the bioassay research should be carried out according to the main efficacy or indication of famous classical formulas. Finally， for the special processing of some herbal medicines， it is difficult to formulate the processing method， technology and standard of prepared slices. It is suggested that the scientific connotation and historical evolution of the special processing method should be thoroughly sorted out， and its technological characteristics are summarized， the modern processing technology and production processes are simulated， and then the corresponding processing methods and quality standards are formulated.

Application of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients with Lung Cancer Based on World Health Organization Family International Classifications: A Scoping Review / 中国康复理论与实践

Objective:To analyze the clinical application and main roles of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Test (CPET) in patients with lung cancer based on the theory of the World Health Organization Family International Classifications (WHO-FICs). Methods:An evidence-based scoping review was implemented. Literatures related to the applications of CPET in patients with lung cancer were retrieved, from databases including PubMed, Web of Science, CNKI and Wanfang data; from January, 2013 to April, 2021. The indications, contraindications, motor dysfunction, pulmonary rehabilitation interventions, evaluation methods and indicators, and the environment factors of CPET applicated in patients with lung cancer was reviewed based on WHO-FICs framework. Results:This paper analyzed the included literatures from five aspects: the type of disease, functioning, pulmonary rehabilitation exercise interventions, functioning evaluation and environment factors. The major diseases included different pathological types of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (2C25), and the most common complication of lung cancer was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) (CA22). The obstacles of CPET conducted in lung cancer patients mainly included physical structure and functional activities and participation obstacles. Pulmonary rehabilitation based on the CPET was divided into therapeutic, preventive and health promotion interventions. The evaluation tools and indicators were oxygen intake, carbon dioxide output, oxygen pulse, heart rate, blood pressure, electrocardiogram, Borg Scale, 6-minute Walking Test, the MOS Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), etc. The classification and description of environmental factors were provided. Conclusion:The application of CPET in lung cancer mainly included preoperative evaluation and prognosis prediction, exercise prescription formulation and exercise effect assessment, anti-cancer treatment impact assessment. Based on WHO-FICs theory system, the applications of CPET mainly involved NSCLC, and COPD was the most common complication of lung cancer. Pulmonary rehabilitation for lung cancer is function- and demand-oriented. Based on CPET evaluation results, individualized therapeutic, preventive and health promotion interventions are conducted to improve the overall function and optimize the health outcomes of patients with lung cancer.

Quality standard of Perillae Folium based on multicomponent determination with HPLC method / 中国中药杂志

This research established the HPLC methods for the determination of perillaketone, perillaldehyde, caffeic acid, scutellarin, and rosmarinic acid in 33 batches of Perillae Folium. Kromasil C_(18)(4.6 × 250 mm, 5 μm) chromatographic column was used, and the mobile phase for determination of the perillaketone and perillaldehyde was methanol-water(55∶45) solution, at a flow rate of 1.0 mL·min~(-1), with the column temperature at 30 ℃. The mobile phase for the determination of caffeic acid, scutellarin and rosmarinic acid was methanol(A)-0.2% phosphoric acid aqueous solution(B) with gradient elution(0-20 min, 25%-30% A; 20-60 min, 30%-43% A). The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min~(-1) and the column temperature was set at 30 ℃. The results showed that the established method can achieve good separation of the five components in samples, with a good linear relationship and high accuracy, indicating that the methods can be used for the determination of Perillae Folium. The results showed that all samples contained five components. And the content of rosmarinic acid(0.04%-1.57%) > scutellarin(0.03%-0.77%) > perillaldehyde(0.02%-0.66%) > perillaketone(0.03%-0.30%) > caffeic acid(0.006%-0.07%). Thirty-three Batches of Perillae Folium can be grouped into 5 categories. There are certain content rules and region specificities under different clusters. Perillaketone, perillaldehyde, and rosmarinic acid can be used as the main markers to evaluate the quality of Perillae Folium.
