Research trends of prostatitis over past 20 years: A bibliometric analysis

In the past two decades, thousands of documents in the field of prostatitis have been published. This bibliometric analysis aimed to assess the characteristics, hotspots and frontiers trend of global scientific output on prostatitis. With the trend of moderate growth, altogether 2,423 papers were reviewed. The leading role of the United States in global prostatitis research was obvious, while China had developed rapidly in recent years. Queen's University and JOURNAL OF UROLOGY were the most prolific affiliation and journal respectively. Nickel, J. C made the greatest contribution to the field of prostatitis. Five hotspots have been confirmed: (a) male infertility associated with prostatitis and the molecular mechanisms; (b) diagnosis and treatment of prostatitis; (c) inflammation, pain and bladder irritation symptoms; (d) relationship between chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome, benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer; (e) epidemiology, complications of prostatitis and improvement of acupuncture. This bibliometric analysis reveals that the international cooperation was becoming more and more close. Hotspot analysis shows that the molecular mechanism of prostatitis will be a hotspot in the future, mainly focussing on inflammatory immunity and oxidative stress.     

Current status and solutions for gender equity in anaesthesia research

Despite increasing numbers of women entering anaesthesia, they remain persistently under-represented within academic anaesthesia and research. Gender discordance is seen across multiple aspects of research, including authorship, editorship, peer review, grant receipt, speaking and leading. Women are also under-represented at higher faculty ranks and in department chair positions. These inequities are further magnified for women with intersectional identities, such as those who identify as Black, indigenous and women of colour. Several barriers to participation in research have been identified to date, including a disproportionate amount of family responsibilities, a disproportionate burden of clinical service, gender bias, sexual harassment and the gender pay gap. Several strategies to improve gender equity have been proposed. Increasing access to formal mentorship of women in academic medicine is frequently cited and has been used by healthcare institutions and medical societies. Senior faculty and leaders must also be conscious of including women in sponsorship and networking opportunities. Institutions should provide support for parents of all genders, including supportive parental leave policies and flexible work models. Women should also be materially supported to attend formal educational conferences targeted for women, aimed at improving networking, peer support and professional development. Finally, leaders must display a clear intolerance for sexual harassment and discrimination to drive culture change. Peers and leaders alike, of all genders, can act as upstanders and speak up on behalf of targets of discrimination, both in the moment or after the fact. Gender inequities have persisted for far too long and can no longer be ignored. Diversifying the anaesthesia research community is essential to the future of the field.     

中医药治疗糖尿病肾病实验研究进展

糖尿病肾病（DN）是糖尿病常见慢性并发症之一,白蛋白尿和肾小球滤过率下降是目前糖尿病肾病诊断的重要临床指征。DN严重影响着患者的生命质量,尽早地干预糖尿病肾病的危险因素,纠正胰岛素代谢障碍导致的长期高血糖因素影响下的肾脏损伤,是有效阻止其进展为终末期肾脏疾病的关键。中医药秉持其特色理论取得了独特的治疗优势,随着中医药对于DN的认识与研究的加深,实验研究方面也取得了一定的进展。本文总结了中医研究DN动物模型的常用构建方法,同时从中医药调节免疫炎症反应、降低氧化应激水平、改善肾脏血流动力学改变、纠正糖脂代谢紊乱等机制方面列举分析中医药辨治糖尿病实验研究进展,探讨中医药防治DN的机制,以期对临床有所裨益。     

白屈菜红碱2种脂质体的制备和口服生物利用度比较

目的 制备白屈菜红碱脂质体（chelerythrine liposomes,Che-Lip）和聚乙二醇修饰白屈菜红碱脂质体（PEGylated chelerythrine liposomes,PEG-Che-Lip）,考察其体外释药和体内口服药动学行为。方法 薄膜超声法制备Che-Lip和PEG-Che-Lip。单因素考察结合Box-Behnken响应面法优化Che-Lip处方,引入二硬脂酰磷脂酰乙醇胺-聚乙二醇2000（DSPE-mPEG2000）制备PEG-Che-Lip。比较Che-Lip和PEG-Che-Lip在模拟胃肠液中溶解度、稳定性和体外释药情况。按20 mg/kg ig给药（以白屈菜红碱计）,测定血药浓度,计算Che-Lip和PEG-Che-Lip主要药动学参数及其相对口服吸收生物利用度。结果 最优处方下制备的Che-Lip和PEG-Che-Lip外观为球形及类球形。Che-Li和PEG-Che-Lip包封率分别为（82.54±0.62）%和（91.13±1.04）%,载药量为（7.64±0.11）%和（7.55±0.18）%,平均粒径分别为（148.15±7.63）nm和（159.37±8.14）nm,ζ电位分别为（-34.2±1.1）mV和（-4.2±0.3）mV。PEG-Che-Lip在模拟胃肠液稳定性高于Che-Lip,Che-Lip和PEG-Che-Lip释药过程均符合Weibull模型。药动学结果显示,Che-Lip的达峰浓度（C_max）和相对口服吸收生物利用度分别增加至1.55倍和2.45倍,PEG-Che-Lip的C_max和相对口服吸收生物利用度分别增加至2.08倍和5.04倍。结论 Che-Li和PEG-Che-Lip可有效促进口服吸收,PEG-Che-Lip优势更明显。     

单味药药性成因假说下的范式方法研究淫羊藿药性

科学合理的中药药性研究方法是中医药药性科学内涵研究的基础和客观要求。在既往创建的“单味药药性成因假说”理论指导下,在国内外首次创建“单味药药性形成演变分类范式模块”研究方法。运用此方法,在利用现代药效物质基础研究成果解析淫羊藿四气药性合理性的基础上,在中医学理论语境下,分析单味药淫羊藿四气药性历史形成、演变过程及影响因素,并将研究结果纳入模块类别单元分类。为建立系统、科学合理的中药药性研究方法与手段,提供了新思路。     

中药材及饮片质量等级标准研究思路和方法

中药质量评价作为保障中药材及饮片质量安全有效的有力手段,对维护人民群众身心健康、促进中药产业高质量发展具有重要意义。长久以来,中药质量多以法定检验标准为准入门槛进行低限控制,质量等级标准缺乏,致使中药质量仅能满足基本要求,而“优质优价”未能得到充分体现,导致“劣币驱逐良币”,市场公平严重受损,这很大程度影响了中药产业高质量发展。因此,开展中药质量优劣评价研究,构建中药质量等级标准体系对于全面落实“四个最严”要求、促进中医药传承创新发展、规范市场秩序、引导产业健康发展具有深远而重大的意义。对中药材质量评价现状进行概述,针对目前中药材质量评价的瓶颈问题,提出符合中医药特点的质量等级标准研究思路,包括关键质量控制指标确立、综合质量评价方法建立、质量等级标准验证等内容,以期为建立中药质量等级评价体系提供参考,助力中药产业高质量发展。
