This article systematically reviews and examines the historical evolution of Bambusae Succus as a medicinal material， covering aspects such as nomenclature， origin， geographical distribution， harvesting and processing methods， quality assessment， therapeutic effects and indications， by consulting ancient herbal texts， medical compendia， and modern literature. The aim is to provide a reference for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herb. Research indicated that Bambusae Succus was first documented in the Shennong Bencaojing during the Han dynasty， with Zhuli being the standard name used throughout history， alongside aliases like Zhuzhi， Zhuyou and Huoquan. Historically， the primary source of Bambusae Succus has been Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis（Danzhu）， although other species such as Pleioblastus amarus and Bambusa emeiensis have also been used medicinally. Ancient records predominantly noted its origin in Yizhou（present-day Chengdu and surrounding areas in Sichuan） and the Wuling region（between present-day Hunan， Guangdong， Guangxi and Jiangxi provinces）， while contemporary sources are mainly from regions south of the Yangtze River and southwestern China. Traditionally， Bambusae Succus was harvested from bamboo that had grown for exactly one year， today， it can be collected year-round without strict age requirements. Ancient preparation methods included direct fire roasting or dry distillation， whereas modern industrial production employs dry distillation， reflux extraction， and percolation. In terms of quality evaluation， ancient texts considered a sweet taste to be superior， while today， clarity and transparency are prioritized. Historically， Bambusae Succus was characterized as sweet and cold nature， targeting the lung and stomach meridians， with uses evolving from clearing heat and resolving phlegm to nourishing Yin， moistening dryness， and relaxing tendons and unblocking meridians. Modern descriptions classify it as sweet， bitter， and cold in nature， affecting the heart， liver， and lung meridians， with functions including clearing heat， resolving phlegm， and facilitating orifices. It is indicated for conditions such as stroke with phlegm confusion， lung heat with phlegm congestion， convulsions， epilepsy， excessive phlegm in febrile diseases， high fever with thirst， irritability during pregnancy， and tetanus， with more clearly defined applications. Based on the results of the research， it is recommended that when developing and utilizing famous classical formulas containing Bambusae Succus， the one-year-old Phyllostachys nigra var. Henonis， which has been highly praised throughout history， should be selected as the source material. Industrial production should adopt the dry distillation method. Furthermore， in-depth research should be conducted on the modern technological characterization of the traditional quality control indicator of sweet taste， and reasonable modern quality control standards should be established.

Aerosol removal using flame-retardant atomized fixatives, as a major means of aerosol control, has achieved remarkable results in the field of nuclear facility decommissioning and decontamination. Traditional atomized fixatives for aerosol removal have deficiencies in high-temperature resistance and flame retardancy, rendering them inadequate for operational scenarios involving high temperatures and flammability encountered during nuclear decommissioning. This paper investigates the current development of flame-retardant atomized fixatives for aerosol removal both domestically and internationally and presents a preliminary exploration of this technology. The experiments showed that atomized fixatives modified with flame-retardant properties not only maintained excellent aerosol capture efficiency, but also exhibited significantly improved flame-retardant performance. This confirmed the technical feasibility of the proposed approach. Finally, suggestions and reflections are proposed for the development of this technology and its application in nuclear facility decommissioning.

Obesity, as a chronic recurrent disease, has become a major public health challenge in China. To implement the requirements of the Healthy China Initiative (2019—2030), under domestic guidelines or consensus statements on overweight and obesity, and in alignment with the latest scientific advances globally, the Quality control protocol for adult overweight and obesity screening in health management (examination) institutions (2025 edition) was developed. This protocol was drafted by the Health Management Center of Shanghai Changzheng Hospital and formulated through multiple rounds of deliberation by experts in China’s health examination quality control field. The protocol establishes unified standards for screening facilities, personnel qualifications, and measurement or testing procedures. It defines specific screening items, outlines a standardized screening pathway, and sets requirements for the final medical review, ensuring the scientific validity, effectiveness, and safety of the screening process. The implementation of this protocol will enhance the consistency of weight management practices for adults across health examination institutions and strengthen the quality control of overweight and obesity screening programs.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a deadly condition of the aorta, carrying a significant risk of death upon rupture. Currently, there is a dearth of efficacious pharmaceutical interventions to impede the advancement of AAA and avert it from rupturing. Here, we investigated dihydromyricetin (DHM), one of the predominant bioactive flavonoids in Ampelopsis grossedentata (A. grossedentata), as a potential agent for inhibiting AAA. DHM effectively blocked the formation of AAA in angiotensin II-infused apolipoprotein E-deficient (ApoE^-/-) mice. A combination of network pharmacology and whole transcriptome sequencing analysis revealed that DHM's anti-AAA action is linked to heme oxygenase (HO)-1 (Hmox-1 for the rodent gene) and hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1α in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Remarkably, DHM caused a robust rise (∼10-fold) of HO-1 protein expression in VSMCs, thereby suppressing VSMC inflammation and oxidative stress and preserving the VSMC contractile phenotype. Intriguingly, the therapeutic effect of DHM on AAA was largely abrogated by VSMC-specific Hmox1 knockdown in mice. Mechanistically, on one hand, DHM increased the transcription of Hmox-1 by triggering the nuclear translocation and activation of HIF-1α, but not nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2). On the other hand, molecular docking, combined with cellular thermal shift assay (CETSA), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), drug affinity responsive target stability (DARTS), co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), and site mutant experiments revealed that DHM bonded to HO-1 at Lys243 and prevented its degradation, thereby resulting in considerable HO-1 buildup. In summary, our findings suggest that naturally derived DHM has the capacity to markedly enhance HO-1 expression in VSMCs, which may hold promise as a therapeutic strategy for AAA.

Objective: To investigate the influencing factors for vaccination willingness of herpes zoster vaccine (HZV) among the elderly, so as to provide the basis for improving the HZV vaccination strategy for the elderly. Methods: From July 2023 to June 2024, permanent residents aged ≥60 years in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province were selected using the multistage random sampling method and probability proportionate to size sampling method. Basic information, disease history, awareness of herpes zoster (HZ) and HZV, vaccination history, and vaccination willingness of HZV were collected through questionnaire surveys. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for vaccination willingness of HZV among the elderly. Results: Totally 1 209 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 95.95%. The respondents included 657 males (54.34%) and 552 females (45.66%). Among them, 626 (51.78%) individuals were aged 60 -<70 years. There were 113 individuals had vaccination willingness of HZV, with a vaccination willingness rate of 9.35%. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that female (OR=2.872, 95%CI: 1.624-5.080), urban (OR=4.909, 95%CI: 2.732-8.818), individual monthly income of 1 000-<2 000 yuan (OR=3.085, 95%CI: 1.602-5.940), accessibility of vaccination clinics (OR=5.717, 95%CI: 1.109-29.462), presence of chronic diseases (OR=2.423, 95%CI: 1.325-4.431), history of varicella infection (OR=2.114, 95%CI: 1.213-3.684), awareness of HZ (OR=2.194, 95%CI: 1.096-4.394), awareness of HZV (OR=3.562, 95%CI: 2.005-6.330), history of influenza vaccine vaccination (OR=7.833, 95%CI: 4.189-14.645), and history of 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine vaccination (OR=2.955, 95%CI: 1.603-5.449) were promoting factors for vaccination willingness of HZV. Conclusion The vaccination willingness rate of HZV among the elderly is relatively low, which is mainly affected by factors such as gender, residence, individual monthly income, accessibility of vaccination clinics, presence of chronic diseases, history of varicella infection, awareness of HZ and HZV, and history of influenza vaccine and 23-valent pneumococcal vaccine vaccination.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of immersive virtual reality (VR)-guided core stability-assisted training in improving the balance of ischemic stroke survivors.Methods:Sixty-six hemiplegic ischemic stroke survivors were randomly divided into a conventional rehabilitation training group (CON) of 32 and an immersive VR-guided core stability-assisted training group (VR-TOT) of 34. In addition to basic internal medical treatment, the CON group underwent conventional rehabilitation therapy, while the VR-TOT group received VR-guided core stability-assisted training. Before and after 4 weeks of the treatments, the subjects′ balance was evaluated using the Fugl-Meyer balance scale. A three-dimensional force platform was used to collect the sway amplitude, sway speed, peripheral area and total trajectory length of the center of pressure COP of the bilateral plantar in the left-right and anterior-posterior directions while the subjects stood with the eyes open and closed.Results:After the treatments, the average Fugl-Meyer balance scores of both groups had improved significantly. In the eyes-open condition, after the treatment, there was a significant decrease in the average COP sway amplitude in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side among the CON group, as well as in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on both sides in the VR-TOT group. The sway velocity in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side had decreased significantly in both groups, and the sway velocity in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on the non-hemiplegic side had also decreased significantly. In the CON group the peripheral area on the non-hemiplegic side had decreased and the total trajectory length had shortened significantly. In the VR-TOT group there were significant decreases in the peripheral area on both sides and in the total trajectory length on both sides. Comparing the two groups after treatment, the peripheral area on the hemiplegic side in the VR-TOT group was significantly smaller. In the eyes-closed condition, the sway amplitude of the COP on the hemiplegic side in the anteroposterior direction and on the non-hemiplegic side in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions had decreased significantly in the VR-TOT group after the treatment. The average sway velocity had decreased significantly in the anteroposterior direction on the non-hemiplegic side in the CON group. In the VR-TOT group this was observed in the anteroposterior direction on the hemiplegic side and in both the mediolateral and anteroposterior directions on the healthy side. In the CON group the average peripheral area of the COP on the hemiplegic side had decreased, and the total trajectory length had shortened, both significantly. In the VR-TOT group, the peripheral area on the non-hemiplegic side had decreased significantly as well.Conclusions:Core stability-assisted training based on immersive virtual reality can effectively improve the balance of ischemic stroke survivors. It shows promise for clinical application.

Objective:To explore the correlation between serum uric acid/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) and the risk of hypertension in elderly physical examination populations.Methods:This study was a cross-sectional study. A total of 1 028 patients aged≥60 years who underwent physical examinations at the Health Management Center of Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital from September 2023 to February 2024 were included in this study. The general demographic data, past medical history, physical examination and laboratory examination indicators of the physical examiners were collected, and according to whether they had hypertension or not, they were divided into hypertension group (390 cases) and non-hypertension group (638 cases), and all UHR values were arranged from small to large, and the UHR was divided into three groups by tertiles of UHR, and the general data and blood biochemical indexes between the groups were compared. Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between UHR level and body mass index, total cholesterol, triglyceride and other indexes in the elderly population. Logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between UHR level and hypertension in the elderly population, and the stratification analysis of the physical examination population was carried out according to diabetes, coronary heart disease and dyslipidemia, and the interaction test between groups was carried out.Results:Among the 1 028 geriatric physical examination cases, 580 (56.4%) were males and 448 (43.6%) were females, aged (66.7±5.8) years. UHR levels were higher in the hypertensive group compared to the non-hypertensive group [248.88 (191.19, 322.25) vs 213.52 (165.94, 275.29); Z=-5.445, P<0.05]. With the increase of UHR level, the detection rate of hypertension in the elderly population increased (accounted for 27.8%, 38.2% and 47.8%, respectively; χ2=29.211, P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that UHR was positively correlated with body mass index, triglycerides, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and fasting blood glucose ( r=0.318, 0.334, 0.774, 0.474, 0.080; all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with total cholesterol, glomerular filtration rate and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( r=-0.239, -0.303, -0.154; all P<0.05). When the confounding factors were not adjusted (model 1), the risk of hypertension in high UHR group was 2.382 times higher than that in low UHR group and 1.607 times higher than that in medium UHR group; after adjusting for all confounding factors such as age, gender, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, junior high school education or below, smoking, alcohol consumption, glomerular filtration rate, etc., the risk of hypertension in the high-level UHR group was 1.732 times higher than that in the low-level UHR group (95% CI: 1.139-2.635) ( P<0.05). The elderly physical examination population was further stratified according to whether there was diabetes, dyslipidemia and coronary heart disease, and it was found that there was no interaction between UHR and diabetes, dyslipidemia and coronary heart disease on the prevalence of hypertension (all P>0.05). Conclusions:Hypertension detection rate increases with higher UHR levels. UHR is closely related to the incidence of hypertension in the elderly population.

Photodynamic therapy(PDT)is a precise targeted therapy that selectively treats certain benign diseases and malignant tumors by combining therapeutic light sources,photosensitizers,and oxygen molecules.The wavelength range of the light source,as a key factor in inducing PDT,has a decisive impact on the triggering and therapeutic effect of the treatment.However,there is a lack of relevant reviews on the selection of light sources for photodynamic therapy.This article reviews the PDT-related applications of commonly used light sources with different wavelength ranges of excitation,such as visible light,near-infrared,and X-ray,including the excitation characteristics of this band of light,as well as the multi-therapy combination and multi-range breakthroughs of PDT cancer treatment under the excitation of this band of light.The aim is to provide feasible directions for the development of photodynamic therapy bands and subsequent applications.

Alcoholic liver disease(ALD)is a liver disease caused by long-term heavy drinking and one of the most common causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality.According to Chinese medicine,the development of ALD is mainly related to alcoholism,and the evolution of its pathology is a gradually aggravating process.Wine-heat injures the liver,without obvious organic lesions at the initial stage,and as the disease progresses to different stages,internal dampness appears,dampness depresses and transforms into heat,and Qi stagnation and blood stasis are gradually aggravated,which affects the functions of various internal organs,directly or indirectly,and creates a complex mechanism of crosstalk between the liver and other organs,which leads to the pathological condition of This leads to the pathological state of multi-organ dysfunction.Modern research has found that long-term alcohol abuse not only causes direct damage to the liver,but also leads to progression to end-stage liver disease by altering the intestinal barrier function and intestinal microbial community,and producing kidney damage and cardiac function.This article reviewed recent studies on the interactions between the liver and other organs in light of the Chinese and Western pathogenesis of alcoholic liver disease and the theory of organ crosstalk,and introduces potential strategies for the treatment of alcoholic liver disease,which will provide a reference for the discovery of new therapeutic avenues.
