Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Herb couple Rehmannia glutinosa Libosch and Cornus officinalis Sieb (RC), originated from "Liuwei Dihuang Pill" which recorded in Key to Therapeutics of Children's Diseases. Traditionally, they have been used widely for their ability to nourish yin and energize the kidneys. Our previous study indicated that the RC could protect against adenine induced Chronic kidney disease (CKD) rats. Nevertheless, there is still no clear explanation of the mechanisms by which RC affects renal interstitial fibrosis in CKD rats. AIM OF THE STUDY Current Work aims to explore the amelioration and potential mechanism of RC on renal interstitial fibrosis in CKD rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS CKD rats were induced by adenine. Two weeks after administration, blood, urine, and kidney tissue were collected for biochemical analysis. Observing the physiological state of rats through the changes of rat body weight and renal index. The pro-inflammatory cytokines were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), while renal tissue damage and fibrosis were assessed with Hematoxylin-eosin staining (H&E) and Masson's trichrome staining. In order to determine the levels of indicators and proteins associated with fibrosis signaling pathways, real time PCR (Rt-PCR), Western blot (WB), and immunofluorescence were employed. RESULTS The renal interstitial fibrosis led to impaired cellular functions with increased the levels of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Urine protein (UP), Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), and Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-α). and simultaneous up-regulated collagenⅠ(COL-1), fibronection (FN), α-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), p38 and extracellular regulated protein kinases (ERK), down-regulated the expression of the E-cadherin proteins. RC notably improved renal dysfunction in CKD rats as indicated by decreases in BUN, UP, and renal index. In addition, consistent with the morphological changes of renal tissue, renal interstitial fibrosis in CKD rats after RC intervention was significantly improved, mainly manifested by a decrease in the positive expression of COL-1, FN, and a-SMA, and increased levels of E-cadherin protein. Meanwhile, RC reduced the classical pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, and TNF-α in adenine-induced CKD rats. Additionally, RC administration also down-regulated TGF-β1, JNK, p38 and ERK. CONCLUSION In conclusion, RC may reduce inflammation in adenine induced CKD rats, improve extracellular matrix (ECM) components deposition, and diminish epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) marker protein levels. Furthermore, RC intervention significantly reduces the release of inflammatory cytokines and inhibits the TGF-β1/MAPK signaling pathway. Based on the results, RC might be useful in the treatment of adenine induced renal fibrosis.

Abstract
The blood-retinal barrier (BRB), homeostasis, neuronal integrity, and metabolic processes are all directly influenced by Müller cells, the most important retinal glial cells. We isolated primary Müller cells from Sprague-Dawley (SD) neonatal rats and treated them with glucose at varying doses. CCK-8 was used to quantify cellular viability, and a TUNEL assay was performed to detect cell apoptosis. ELISA, immunofluorescence, and western blotting were used to assess cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling, Kir4.1, AQP4, GFAP, and VEGF levels, respectively. H&E staining was used to examine histopathological alterations in diabetic retinopathy (DR)-affected retinal tissue in rats. As glucose concentration increases, gliosis of Müller cells became apparent, as evidenced by a decline in cell activity, an increase in apoptosis, downregulation of Kir4.1 level, and overexpression of GFAP, AQP4, and VEGF. Treatments with low, intermediate, and high glucose levels led to aberrant activation of cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling. Interestingly, blocking cAMP and PKA reduced high glucose-induced Müller cell damage and gliosis by a significant amount. Further in vivo results suggested that cAMP or PKA inhibition significantly improved edema, bleeding, and retinal disorders. Our findings showed that high glucose exacerbated Müller cell damage and gliosis via a mechanism involving cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling.

Abstract
CKD is a clinical syndrome with slow development and gradual deterioration of renal function. At present, modern medicine still lacks an ideal treatment method for this disease, while TCM has accumulated rich clinical experience in the treatment of CKD, which can effectively improve renal function and delay renal failure, and has unique advantages. RC is widely used in clinical practice to treat CKD, especially the “Kidney-Yin” deficiency syndrome. However, the compatibility mechanisms responsible for its effects in experimental studies, including preclinical and clinical research studies, are still not fully understood. Adenine-induced CKD rats were used to investigate the preventive effect of RC on CKD rats. Based on the high-throughput 16S rRNA gene sequencing results from Illumina, we discussed the intestinal flora abundance in rats in different treatment groups. According to a PCA and a PCoA based on a distance matrix, there was a clear separation of gut microbiome profiles between normal rats and model rats in terms of beta diversity. The abundance of Firmicutes in CKD rats was relatively increased, while that of Bacteroidetes was decreased. It is clear that the plot for the RC group was closer to that of the normal group, suggesting that the RC group had higher similarities among bacterial members with N rats. Ussing chamber, Western blot, and PCR assays were used to investigate the effects of RC on intestinal barrier function and its molecular mechanism in model animals. The results indicated that the protein expressions of ZO-1, claudin-1, and occludin-1 were decreased significantly in chronic kidney disease rats with the induction of adenine. With the treatment of RG, CO, and RC, the intestinal barrier was repaired due to the upregulated expressions of the aforementioned proteins in CKD rats. Based on our findings, RC appears to strengthen the intestinal barrier and modulate gut microbiota in adenine-induced CKD rats. This project revealed the compatibility mechanism of RC in regulating the intestinal microecology and barrier function to intervene in CKD and provided the basis and ideas for the clinical application of RC and the development of innovative drugs for CKD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common malignant tumor of the gastrointestinal tract. Lipid metabolism, as an important part of material and energy circulation, is well known to play a crucial role in CRC.
AIM To explore the relationship between serum lipids and CRC development and identify aberrantly expressed cholesterol metabolism genes in CRC.
METHODS We retrospectively collected 843 patients who had confirmed CRC and received surgical resection from 2013 to 2015 at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences as our research subjects. The levels of serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-C/HDL-C and clinical features were collected and statistically analyzed by SPSS. Then, we used the data from Oncomine to screen the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the cholesterol metabolism pathway in CRC and used Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis to confirm the candidate DEGs. PrognoScan was used to analyze the prognostic value of the DEGs, and Search Tool for the Retrieval of Interacting Genes was used to construct the protein–protein interaction network of DEGs.
RESULTS The serum HDL-C level in CRC patients was significantly correlated with tumor size, and patients whose tumor size was more than 5 cm had a lower serum HDL-C level (1.18 ± 0.41 mmol/L vs 1.25 ± 0.35 mmol/L, P < 0.01) than their counterparts. In addition, TC/HDL (4.19 ± 1.33 vs 3.93 ± 1.26, P < 0.01) and LDL-C/HDL-C (2.83 ± 1.10 vs 2.61 ± 0.96, P < 0.01) were higher in patients with larger tumors. The levels of HDL-C (P < 0.05), TC/HDL-C (P < 0.01) and LDL-C/HDL-C (P < 0.05) varied in different stages of CRC patients, and the differences were significant. We screened 14 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) of the cholesterol metabolism pathway in CRC and confirmed that lipoprotein receptor-related protein 8 (LRP8), PCSK9, low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), MBTPS2 and FDXR are upregulated, while ABCA1 and OSBPL1A are downregulated in cancer tissue. Higher expression of LDLR (HR = 3.12, 95%CI: 1.77-5.49, P < 0.001), ABCA1 (HR = 1.66, 95%CI: 1.11-2.48, P = 0.012) and OSBPL1A (HR = 1.38, 95%CI: 1.01-1.89, P = 0.041) all yielded significantly poorer DFS outcomes. Higher expression of FDXR (HR = 0.7, 95%CI: 0.47-1.05, P = 0.002) was correlated with longer DFS. LDLR, ABCA1, OSBPL1A and FDXR were involved in many important cellular function pathways.
CONCLUSION Serum HDL-C levels are associated with tumor size and stage in CRC patients. LRP8, PCSK9, LDLR, MBTPS2 and FDXR are upregulated, while ABCA1 and OSBPL1A are downregulated in CRC. Among them, LDLR, ABCA1, OSBPL1A and FDXR were valuable prognostic factors of DFS and were involved in important cellular function pathways.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibody-positive optic neuritis (ON). Methods: The data of 39 patients with MOG antibody-positive ON in the Department of Neurology of Beijing Tongren Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 1, 2017 to October 31, 2019 were retrospectively collected. There were 25 males and 14 females, aged from 15 to 80 (40±16) years. According to the recurrence, the patients were divided into two groups: the recurrence group (n=12) and the non-recurrence group (n=27). The clinical manifestations, relapse-related factors, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) manifestations, treatment and prognosis of the two groups were analyzed. Results: A total of 63 eyes were involved, including 30 cases of optic perineuritis (OPN), accounting for 47.6% (30/63). The number of attacks ranged from 1 to 9, among which 12 patients had more than 2 attacks. There were 37 eyes [58.7% (37/63)] with severe visual loss (SVL) at the time of onset, and 7 eyes [11.1% (7/63)] with SVL at the final follow-up. Forty-eight eyes [76.2% (48/63)] had optic disc edema. Forty seven eyes [74.6% (47/63)] showed long-segment disease on optic nerve MRI. One case was complicated with aseptic meningitis and encephalitis. The recurrence group was younger than the non-recurrence group [(28.5±9.8) years vs (43.3±16.4) years, P=0.001]. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in gender, bilateral onset, initial visual acuity, final visual acuity, optic disc edema, head and spinal cord lesions, and immunosuppressant (all P>0.05). All patients were treated with methylprednisolone (MP) pulse therapy during the acute attack, and 16 of them were additively treated with immunosuppressive agents; the pain was alleviated or relieved significantly after the application of glucocorticoids. Conclusions: MOG antibody-positive ON often occurred in both eyes at the same time, often manifesting as OPN, often accompanied by optic disc edema, and SVL at the beginning of the disease, but most of the visual recovery was good, might be associated with meningitis and encephalitis. MRI of the optic nerve showed that the lesions often manifested as long-segment lesions. Glucocorticoids could alleviate pain and promote the recovery of visual function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Colorectal high-grade neuroendocrine neoplasms (HGNENs) are rare and constitute less than 1% of all colorectal malignancies. Based on their morphological differentiation and proliferation identity, these neoplasms present heterogeneous clinicopathologic features. Opinions regarding treatment strategies for and improvement of the clinical outcomes of these patients remain controversial.
AIM To delineate the clinicopathologic features of and explore the prognostic factors for this rare malignancy.
METHODS This observational study reviewed the data of 72 consecutive patients with colorectal HGNENs from three Chinese hospitals between 2000 and 2019. The clinicopathologic characteristics and follow-up data were carefully collected from their medical records, outpatient reexaminations, and telephone interviews. A survival analysis was conducted to evaluate their outcomes and to identify the prognostic factors for this disease.
RESULTS According to the latest recommendations for the classification and nomenclature of colorectal HGNENs, 61 (84.7%) patients in our cohort had poorly differentiated neoplasms, which were categorized as high-grade neuroendocrine carcinomas (HGNECs), and the remaining 11 (15.3%) patients had well differentiated neoplasms, which were categorized as high-grade neuroendocrine tumors (HGNETs). Most of the neoplasms (63.9%) were located at the rectum. More than half of the patients (51.4%) presented with distant metastasis at the date of diagnosis. All patients were followed for a median duration of 15.5 mo. In the entire cohort, the median survival time was 31 mo, and the 3-year and 5-year survival rates were 44.3% and 36.3%, respectively. Both the univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that increasing age, HGNEC type, and distant metastasis were risk factors for poor clinical outcomes.
CONCLUSION Colorectal HGNENs are rare and aggressive malignancies with poor clinical outcomes. However, patients with younger age, good morphological differentiation, and without metastatic disease can have a relatively favorable prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy is an emerging treatment modality for locally advanced rectal neoplasms. However, its impacts on postoperative complications remain unknown. Anastomotic leakage (AL) is one of the most common and serious complications associated with the anterior resection of rectal tumors. Therefore, we designed this study to determine the effects of intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy on AL.
AIM To investigate whether intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy increases the incidence of AL after the anterior resection of rectal neoplasms.
METHODS This retrospective cohort study collected information from 477 consecutive patients who underwent an anterior resection of rectal carcinoma using the double stapling technique at our institution from September 2016 to September 2017. Based on the administration of intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy or not, the patients were divided into a chemotherapy group (171 cases with intraperitoneal implantation of chemotherapy agents during the operation) or a control group (306 cases without intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy). Clinicopathologic features, intraoperative treatment, and postoperative complications were recorded and analyzed to determine the effects of intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy on the incidence of AL. The clinical outcomes of the two groups were also compared through survival analysis.
RESULTS The univariate analysis showed a significantly higher incidence of AL in the patients who received intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy, with 13 (7.6%) cases in the chemotherapy group and 5 (1.6%) cases in the control group (P = 0.001). As for the severity of AL, the AL patients who underwent intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy tended to be more severe cases, and 12 (92.3%) out of 13 AL patients in the chemotherapy group and 2 (40.0%) out of 5 AL patients in the control group required a secondary operation (P = 0.044). A multivariate analysis was subsequently performed to adjust for the confounding factors and also showed that intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy increased the incidence of AL (odds ratio = 5.386; 95%CI: 1.808-16.042; P = 0.002). However, the survival analysis demonstrated that intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy could also improve the disease-free survival rates for patients with locally advanced rectal cancer.
CONCLUSION Intraoperative intraperitoneal chemotherapy can improve the prognosis of patients with locally advanced rectal carcinoma, but it also increases the risk of AL following the anterior resection of rectal neoplasms.

Abstract
Studies have indicated that Chrysanthemum polysaccharides (CP) could prominently ameliorate colitis rats, but its possible mechanism remains unclear. In this study, the underlying mechanism of CP was explored by the metabolic profiling analysis and correlated signaling pathways. TNBS/ethanol induced colitis was used to investigate the intervention efficacy following oral administration of CP. The levels of cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-6, IFN-γ and IL-1β, and the activities of SOD, MPO, and MDA were determined. We also performed western-blot for p65, TLR4, p-JAK2, and STAT3 protein expression in the colon tissue to probe their mechanisms of correlated signaling pathways. What’s more, the metabolic changes in plasma and urine from colitis rats were investigated based on UPLC-Q-TOF/MS combined with MetabolynxTM software. The potential biomarkers and metabolic pathways were also tentatively confirmed. The metabolic profiles of plasma and urine were clearly improved in model rats after oral administration of CP. Thirty-two (17 in serum and 15 in urine) potential biomarkers were identified. The endogenous metabolites were mainly involved in linoleic acid, retinol, arachidonic acid, glycerophospholipid and primary bile acid metabolism in plasma, and nicotinate and nicotinamide, ascorbate and aldarate, histidine and β-alanine metabolism in urine. After polysaccharides intervention, these markers turned back to normal level at some extent. Meanwhile, the elevated expression levels of pp65, TLR4, p-STAT3, and p-JAK2 were significantly decreased after treatment. Results suggested that CP would be a potential prebiotics for alleviation of TNBS-induced colitis. The study paved the way for the further exploration of the pathogenesis, early diagnosis and curative drug development of the colitis.

Abstract
The gut microflora dysbiosis has been closely related with the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In this study, the effect of polysaccharides from Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat on the gut microbiota was evaluated by ulcerative colitis (UC) rat model. Physiological and pathological analyses suggested that Chrysanthemum polysaccharides possessed notably protective effects on UC in vivo. Based on the Illumina MiSeq platform, 16S rRNA sequencing of the rat colonic contents indicated that the intestinal flora structure remarkably changed in the model rats and the tendency was alleviated to a certain degree by treatment with different dosages of Chrysanthemum polysaccharides. In normal groups, there were more Firmicutes than Bacteroidetes, but this change lost at the pathological state. Following Chrysanthemum polysaccharides, rising Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio was validated. Besides the microbial diversity and the community richness of the UC rats were improved by Chrysanthemum polysaccharides, the composition of intestinal microflora in the model group were also restored after oral administration of Chrysanthemum polysaccharides. The abundance of opportunistic pathogens was decreased (Escherichia, Enterococcus and Prevotella), while the levels of protective bacteria such as Butyricicoccus and Clostridium (butyrate-producing bacteria), Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium (probiotics), Lachnospiraceae and Rikenellaceae elevated in various degrees. Correlation analysis between intestinal flora and biochemical factors suggested that the relative abundance of protective bacteria was positively correlated with the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-4, IL-10 and IL-11, while aggressive bacteria were positively correlated with proinflammatory cytokine such as IL-23、IL-6、 IF-17、TNF-α、IL-1β and IFN-γ. The above results showed that the intestinal flora were closely related to the secretion and expression of cytokines in the body, and they interacted with each other to regulate immune function. Thus, Chrysanthemum polysaccharides could ameliorate ulcerative colitis by fostering beneficial intestinal flora growth, modulating the balance of intestinal microecology and restoring the immune system.

Abstract
Isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside is the major active substance of Puhuang, a traditional herb medicine widely used in clinical practice to tackle many chronic diseases. However, little is known about the interactions between this ingredient and intestinal flora. In this study, ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry together with automated data analysis software (Metabolynx™) was used for analysis of the metabolic profile of isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside by the isolated human intestinal bacteria. The parent and three metabolites isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside, isorhamnetin and quercetin were detected and identified based on the characteristics of their deprotonated molecules. These metabolites indicated that isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside was firstly deglycosylated to isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside and subsequently to the aglycone isorhamnetin, and the latter was demethylated to quercetin. The majority of bacteria such as Escherichia sp. 23 were capable of converting isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside to considerable amounts of aglycone isorhamnetin and further to minor amounts of quercetin, while minor amounts of isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside were detected in minority of bacterial samples such as Enterococcus sp. 30. The metabolic pathway and metabolites of isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside by the different human intestinal bacteria were firstly investigated. Furthermore, the metabolites of isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside might influence the effects of traditional herb medicines. Thus, our study is helpful to further unravel how isorhamnetin-3-O-neohesperidoside and Puhuang work in vivo.

Abstract
A highly sensitive and rapid ultraperformance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of the four main bioactive compounds, i.e. baicalin, baicalein, wogonoside and wogonin, in rat plasma after oral administration of Radix Scutellariae extract. Clarithromycin was used as an internal standard (IS). Plasma samples were processed by protein precipitation with methanol. The separation was performed on an Acquity BEH C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) at a flow rate of 0.4 mL/min, using 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile as mobile phase. The MS/MS ion transit ions monitored were 447.5 → 270.1 for baicalin, 270.1 → 168.1 for baicalein, 461.2 → 284.0 for wogonoside, 284.2 → 168.1 for wogonin and 748.5 → 158.1 for IS. Method validation was performed according to US Food and Drug Administration guidelines and the results met the acceptance criteria. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) achieved was 1.13 ng/mL for baicalin, 1.23 ng/mL for baicalein, 0.82 ng/mL for wogonoside and 0.36 ng/mL for wogonin. The calibration curves obtained were linear (r > 0.99) over the concentration range ~ 1-1000 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision was <15% and the accuracy was within ±14.7%. After validation, this method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of Radix Scutellariae extract.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the effect of long-term low dose prednisone administration on bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with inactive systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods: A total of 118 inactive female SLE patients with long-term administration of low dose prednisone were recruited from the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology at An hui Provincial Hospital.All patients were given low dose prednisone for long-term (≤10 mg/d, more than half a year). According to prednisone doses, subjects were divided into two groups, namely group A (≤7.5 mg/d) and group B (7.5-10 mg/d). In addition, patients were also divided into four groups based on the duration of administration, including groupⅠ≤3 years, Ⅱfrom 4-5 years, Ⅲ 6-10 years and Ⅳ>10 years.Twenty-nine healthy people were recruitedas normal controls.The BMD was measured by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry.The association of BMD with prednisone dose and duration was compared between different groups. Results: The incidence of osteopenia in all patients with SLE was 42.4%(50/118), and the incidence of osteoporosis was 14.4%(17/118). BMD of all bone sites in both group A and B were significantly lower than that in normal control group (P<0.05). Similarly, the BMD of all bone sites in groupⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ were significantly decreased (P<0.05). What needed to be stressed was the BMD in group Ⅳ was lower than those in other three groups (P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the cumulative prednisone dose was the risk factor for osteopenia, while taking calcium and alfacalcidol were protective factors. Conclusion: Long-term use of low dose prednisone result in the decrease of BMD in patients with inactive SLE.The lumbar spine and femoral neck had more severe osteopenia. Long-term administration of prednisone, even less than 7.5 mg/d, can also cause osteopenia.Calcium and alfacalcidol were protective factors of BMD.

Abstract
Flos Abelmoschus manihot is a traditional herbal medicine widely used in clinical practice to tackle chronic kidney disease (CKD) for thousands of years. Nowadays, many studies indicate that gut bacteria are closely related to the progression of CKD and CKD-related complications. In this study, a UPLC-Q-TOF/MS method coupled with the MetaboLynx™ software was established and successfully applied to investigate the metabolites and metabolic profile of Flos A. manihot extract by intestinal bacteria from normal and CKD rats. Eight parent components and eight metabolites were characterized by their protonated ions. Among these compounds, 15 were detected in the two group samples while M16 was only determined in the CKD model samples. Compared with the quercetin-type glycosides, fewer myricetin-type and gossypetin-type metabolites were obtained in the two group samples. These metabolites suggested that deglycosylation and methylation are the major metabolic pathways of Flos A. manihot extract. Few differences of metabolite classes were observed in the two group samples. However, the concentrations of aglycones such as quercetin, myricetin and gossypetin in the normal samples were notably higher than those in the CKD model samples. The results are important in unravelling the pharmacological effects of A. manihot and clarifying its mechanism of action in vivo.

Abstract
Flos Chrysanthemi, dried flower of Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat, has drawn much attention recently owing to its potential beneficial health effects for human. Flos Chrysanthemi products are usually taken orally and metabolized by intestinal microflora. However, there has been no investigation of the comprehensive metabolic profile of the Flos Chrysanthemi extract by intestinal flora owing to its chemical complexity and the limitations of analytical methods. In this paper, a rapid, sensitive and automated analysis method, ultra-performance liquid chromatography/quadrupole time of flight mass spectrometry including MSE technology and automated data processing Metabolynx™ software, was developed and successfully applied for the biotransformation and metabolic profile of flavonoids in the Flos Chrysanthemi extract by intestinal flora from human and rat. A total of 32 metabolites were detected and tentatively identified in human and rat intestinal bacterial samples. These metabolites indicated that hydrolysis, hydroxylation, acetylation, methylation, hydrogenation and deoxygenation were the major conversion pathways of flavonoids in the Flos Chrysanthemi extract in vitro. Furthermore, the effects of the Flos Chrysanthemi extract on the growth of different intestinal bacteria were detected using an Emax precision microplate reader. Certain pathogenic bacteria such as Enterobacter, Enterococcus, Clostridium and Bacteroides were significantly inhibited by Flos Chrysanthemi, while commensal probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium were moderately promoted. Our observation provided further evidence for the importance of intestinal bacteria in the metabolism and potential activity of the Flos Chrysanthemi extract. The results will also be helpful for the further pharmacokinetic study of Flos Chrysanthemi and to unravel how it works in vivo.

Abstract
Buddleoside (also known as linarin) as the major flavonoid in Chrysanthemum morifolium Ramat., has been reported to possess a wide range of pharmacological activities. The human intestinal microbiota might have an important impact on drug metabolism and ultimately on the drug oral bioavailability. However, the interaction of the buddleoside with human intestinal bacteria remains unknown. In this study, the conversion of buddleoside by different bacteria from human feces was firstly investigated. A reliable, sensitive and rapid analytical method, ultra performance liquid chromatography was established and successfully applied to investigate the metabolites and metabolic profile of buddleoside by human intestinal bacteria. Among the isolated bacteria, four strains including Escherichia sp. 4, Escherichia sp. 34, Enterococcus sp. 45 and Bacillus sp. 46 showed more powerful conversion capability. Based on the accurate mass data and the characteristic MS(n) product ions, the parent and six metabolites were detected and tentatively identified compared with blank samples. The metabolites were produced by four main metabolic pathways including deglycosylation, acetylation, methylation and hydroxylation. Buddleoside could be firstly converted to its aglycon acacetin (M2) by the majority of the isolated intestinal bacteria. Subsequently, M2 was further metabolize to its methylated (M3), acetylated (M4), hydroxylated (M5) and hydrogenated product (M6). However, acacetin-7-glucosid (M1) was obtained only from the minor bacterial samples like Bacillus sp. 46. To further explain the metabolism of buddleoside, the β-d-glucosidase and α-l-rhamnosidase activities of four strains were analyzed. Bacillus sp. 46 could only produce α-l-rhamnosidase, while the other three strains showed two kinds of enzyme activities. Furthermore, the activities of α-l-rhamnosidase and β-d-glucosidase reached the highest level at 12-18h and 10-12h, respectively. The metabolic routes and metabolites of buddleoside produced by human intestinal microflora were firstly reported in this paper. The results will be very helpful for the further investigation of the pharmacokinetic research of buddleoside and to unravel how it works in vivo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the epidemiological features of heatstroke in Shaoxing, China in 2008-2014, and to provide a reference for developing prevention and control measures for heatstroke. METHODS The reports on heatstroke in Shaoxing in 2008-2014 were collected from the China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention, and the data were summarized and analyzed. RESULTS A total of 1 676 heatstroke cases were reported in Shaoxing in 2008-2014, among which 1 485 cases(88.6%) were mild heatstroke and 191 cases(11.4%) were severe heatstroke. Nine persons died of severe heatstroke, and the fatality rate was 0.5%(9/1 676). Among these persons, 4(44.4%, 4/9) were the elderly living at home, 4 (44.4%, 4/9) were farmers (working outdoors), and 1(11.2%, 1/9) was unemployed. The male patients with heatstroke accounted for 66.3%(1 111/1 676), and those with severe heatstroke accounted for 13.1%(146/1 111); the female patients with heatstroke accounted for 33.7%(565/1 676), and those with severe heatstroke accounted for 8.0%(45/565); there were significant differences between male and female patients(χ(2)=9.94, P=0.002). The mean age of patients with heatstroke was 48.7±18.8 years; the mean age of male patients was 49.8±17.9 years, and that of female patients was 46.6±20.3 years, with a significant difference between the male and female patients(t=3.19, P<0.001). Most of the patients experiencing heatstroke were in their forties or fifties, each accounting for 19.2%(321/1 676); in male patients who experienced heatstroke, those in their fifties accounted for the highest percentage(21.5%, 239/1 111), and in female patients who experienced heatstroke, those in their twenties accounted for the highest percentage (18.9%, 107/565). Based on stratification by age, the severity of heatstroke differed significantly between male and female patients in their forties, fifties, sixties, seventies, and eighties(P<0.05). Most of the cases of heatstroke occurred in June to September, accounting for 98.9%(1 657/1 676), particularly in July and August, accounting for 87.1%(1 460/1 676). CONCLUSION In Shaoxing, heatstroke usually occurs in summer, and most cases are mild. Middle-aged and elderly men and farmers(working outdoors) are susceptible to heatstroke, and warnings on heatstroke and emergency treatment of severe heatstroke should be enhanced.

Abstract
Throughout the years, reported intracellular H2O2 sensors just focused on unrelated measurements of intracellular H2O2 generated from the stimulus of Cd2+, ascorbic acid (AA) etc., leading to difficulty in data interpretation. Here, a novel reduced graphene oxide quantum dots (rGO QDs)/ZnO hybrid nanofibers-based electrochemical biosensor for the detection of intracellular H2O2 released from cancer and normal cells under the stimuli of the corresponding anticancer drugs permits a quantitative study of the interaction between the target drug compound and the cancer cell, which is suitable for candidate drug screening. Nylon 6/6 nanofibers are used as robust templates for the facile fabrication of novel rGO QDs/ZnO hybrid nanofibers via electrospinning followed by a step hydrothermal growth method. The as-made sensor was applied to determine H2O2 released from a prostate cancer cell (PC-3) versus a noncancerous cell (BPH-1) under the stimuli of the corresponding anticancer drugs (apigenin, antisense CK2αetc.). The amount of H2O2 released from the PC-3 cancer cell is about (320 ± 12) amol per cell and about (210 ± 6) amol per cell for the BPH-1 noncancerous cell under the stimuli of specific therapy drug antisense CK2α. These results demonstrate that the rGO QDs/ZnO hybrid nanofibers-based electrochemical biosensor can efficiently detect the distinct amounts of H2O2 released from cancer and noncancer cells.

Abstract
In order to get higher vertical resolution atmosphere profile information, the present paper retrieves atmospheric temperature and moisture profiles from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) on the newly-launched Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP) and future Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) with a nonlinear Newton iteration method by using the profiles retrieved via statical regression method as the first guess, and the issue of channel selection is discussed. The retrieved profiles are compared with radiosonde observations, and National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Data Assimilation System (GDAS) analyses show that the physical retrievals of temperature and moisture are in good agreement with the distributions from GDAS analysis fields and radiosonde observations, and have a notable improvements of the atmospheric profile retrieval accuracy as compared with the eigenvector regression algorithm. For pressures between 200 and 700 hPa the accuracy is of the order of 1 K for the temperature profile, and 20% for the relative humidity profile is consistent with the jacobian peaks of the selected channels.

Abstract
The potentiality of the retrieval of surface reflectance using CCD camera aboard HJ-1A/B satellite was studied. It is very difficult to use dark targets in atmospheric correction due to the lack of near infrared band. The alternative normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and the red/blue reflectance ratio are detected from the spectral experiment in Beijing and the Pearl River Delta. Ground-based spectral data including grass, dense vegetation, water body, soil, residential roof and bright building etc. were used to validate the surface reflectance in Beijing, and the relative error in red, blue band is under 38.7% and 37.2% respectively. Uncertainties of the surface reflectance retrievals were analyzed. The comparison of MODIS surface reflectance product showed that there is a good agreement in the dense targets, and the correlation coefficient (R2) in red, blue band is as high as 0.809 4 and 0.723 9 respectively. HJ-1-CCD data can effectively reduce pixel-mixed impact on the cement roof and bright buildings, and the inversion accuracy is higher than MODIS products.
