This article adopts Professor CHEN Chaozu′s " sanjiao composed by membrane-striae" theory as its foundation to explore the relationship between irritable bowel syndrome and functional/structural abnormalities of the membrane-striae. Sanjiao encompasses both the tangible membrane and the intangible striae. These striae permeate the entire body，and their pathological changes comprehensively reflect qi，body fluids，and fasciae. Based on the physiological function of the membrane-striae in regulating qi and fluids，the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a disharmony of membrane-striae and an imbalance of the qi-fluid interactions. In the early stage，external pathogens，emotional factors，or dietary stimuli often cause membrane-striae constriction and disordered qi-fluid circulation. In the middle stage，stagnant fluids gradually transform into phlegm retention，leading to membrane-striae obstruction. In the late stage，deficiency of vital qi becomes predominant，manifesting as laxity of membrane-striae with impaired control or weakened conduction. The treatment of irritable bowel syndrome should adopt " unblocking" as the guiding principle. In the early stage，therapy should focus on eliminating pathogenic factors and soothing membrane-striae to promptly restore qi-fluid circulation，thereby attaining unblocking through spasm relief. In the middle stage，treatment should focus on resolving tangible obstructions in membrane-striae，achieving unblocking via dredging. In the late stage，the emphasis should shift to reinforcing healthy qi，particularly by strengthening spleen-kidney yang qi，and achieving unblocking through supplementation. Concurrently，throughout the entire treatment process，the regulation of mental state and easing of emotional tension should be integrated to alleviate patient′s anxiety，achieving the goal of holistic treatment of both body and mind.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic mechanism of artemether in diabetic sarcopenia（DS）using network pharmacology and animal experiments. MethodsPotential active components and therapeutic targets were screened using artemisinin as the parent compound. The predicted targets were intersected with DS-related targets， followed by construction of a protein-protein interaction （PPI） network. Gene Ontology （GO） and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） enrichment analyses were performed to identify the key biological processes and signaling pathways. Molecular docking was further used to evaluate the binding affinity between artemether and core targets. The DS mouse model was established using db/db mice， followed by artemether intervention. Fasting blood glucose， body weight， diabetes-related symptoms， body composition， grip strength， serum and skeletal muscle triglyceride levels， and muscle fiber cross-sectional area （CSA） were assessed. The expression levels of forkhead box O1 （FoxO1）， Atrogin-1， muscle RING finger protein 1 （MuRF1）， acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 2 （ACSS2）， carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 （CPT2）， and fatty acid-binding protein 3 （FABP3） in skeletal muscle were detected by qRT-PCR， Western blot， immunofluorescence， and immunohistochemistry. In addition， metabolomics was performed to analyze changes in acylcarnitine metabolites in skeletal muscle. ResultsA total of 68 overlapping targets between artemether and diabetic sarcopenia （DS） were identified. The core targets included AKT1， FoxO1， NFKB1， FBXO32， and TRIM63， which were mainly enriched in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K-Akt） signaling pathway， forkhead box O （FoxO） signWaling pathway， tumor necrosis factor （TNF） signaling pathway， and insulin resistance-related pathways. Molecular docking analysis showed that artemether exhibited favorable binding affinity with the core targets. Animal experiments demonstrated that artemether reduced fasting blood glucose， ameliorated metabolic symptoms， increased lean mass and grip strength， decreased serum and skeletal muscle triglyceride levels， and increased muscle fiber cross-sectional area （CSA） in DS mice. In addition， artemether downregulated the mRNA and protein expression levels of FoxO1， FBXO32/Atrogin-1， TRIM63/MuRF1， ACSS2， CPT2， and FABP3， and improved the disturbance of acylcarnitine metabolism in skeletal muscle. ConclusionArtemether improves metabolic and skeletal muscle phenotypes in DS mice. Its effects may be associated with the amelioration of lipid metabolic disorders and the downregulation of FoxO1 and its downstream ubiquitin-proteasome pathway-related factors Atrogin-1 and MuRF1 in skeletal muscle.

Objective: To investigate the environmental contamination of norovirus in nurseries and primary/secondary schools, so as to provide a scientific basis for effective prevention and control measures. Methods: A total of 483 external environmental samples were collected from 34 cluster outbreaks of norovirus gastroenteritis in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools in Linhai City from 2021 to 2024. Pathogen detection was conducted using a rapid nucleic acid extraction kit and realtime fluorescence RT-PCR, and the results were analyzed using the χ2 test or Fishers exact test. Results: Among the collected external environmental samples, the total positive rate of surface contamination was 13.66%. The positive rates in kindergartens and primary/secondary schools were 12.20% and 15.82%, respectively. In kindergartens, the five surfaces with the highest detection rates were desks/chairs (23.33%), toilet stool troughs (20.69%), urinal troughs (12.00%), washbasins/sinks (11.11%), and toilet mops (9.38%). In primary/secondary schools, the top five were toilet stool troughs (38.30%), urinal troughs (23.53%), toilet door handles (13.04%), toilet mops (12.50%), and drinking cups (11.11%). The difference in positive detection rates among different external environments in primary/secondary schools was statistically significant (Fishers exact probability test, P<0.01). The positive detection rate in sanitary toilets was higher than that in classroom environments (χ2=17.38), while the positive detection rate in classroom environments of kindergartens was higher than that in primary/secondary schools (χ2=5.42)(P<0.05). Conclusions Norovirus exhibits a high contamination rate in nurseries and schools, particularly in restroom areas. Strengthening sanitation and disinfection in highrisk environments, and improving hygiene awareness among children and staff, are essential for the effective prevent and control of norovirus.

Objective:To investigate the mode and timing of delivery in pregnant women with complex fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) detected by prenatal ultrasound.Methods:The clinical data of 123 fetuses with complex CHD detected by prenatal ultrasound in Peking University People′s Hospital from January 2016 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. Pregnant women with indications for prenatal diagnosis underwent G-banding karyotype analysis, single nucleotide polymorphism array (SNP arrry) or whole exome sequencing after informed consent. Integrated managements were provided for pregnant women with complex CHD during pregnancy and perinatal period, and to determine the mode and timing of delivery. Infants with complex CHD received timely treatment or referral after birth.Results:The gestational age at ultrasound diagnosis of the 123 fetuses with complex CHD was (23.7±3.4) weeks. There were 11 cases (8.9%) of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC), 14 cases (11.4%) of anomalous pulmonary valve (PVA), 7 cases (5.7%) of right ventricle double outlet (RVDO), 13 cases (10.6%) of anomalous aortic arch, 69 cases (56.1%) of transposition of the great arteries (TGA), 9 cases (7.3%) of other types. All cases were treated with fetal preservation after prenatal consultation. Among the 72 cases undergoing prenatal diagnosis, 9 cases (12.5%) had chromosomal variations. Fifty-five cases (44.7%, 55/123) underwent trial of labor, of which 46 cases (37.4%, 46/123) had successful vaginal delivery, including 6 cases of forceps delivery, and other 9 cases of failed trial of labor transferred to cesarean section. A total of 77 cases of pregnant women underwent cesarean section. Except for the 21 cases of pregnant women who asked for cesarean section, the cesarean section rate of pregnant women with complex CHD was 45.5% (56/123), which was not significantly different from the average cesarean section rate of the same period in our hospital (40.2%; χ2=7.34, P=0.270). The gestational age at delivery of the 123 fetuses with complex CHD was (37.9±1.4) weeks, the birth weight of the neonates was (3 099±480) g, and the umbilical artery blood pH value was 7.31±0.05. The oxygen saturation of 86 cases before and after alprostadil infusion were (72.8±6.0)% and (80.5±5.0)%, respectively, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=4.38, P<0.001). One hundred and fourteen children underwent surgical treatment, 112 of them (98.2%) had good postoperative reexamination. Only 2 cases (1.8%) died after surgery, and 14.0% (16/114) had the possibility of secondary surgery. Conclusions:Fetal complex CHD is not an indication for cesarean section, and the delivery mode could be selected according to the obstetric situation. If the mother and child are in stable condition, the delivery is planned after 39 weeks of gestation. For children with low oxygen saturation after birth, alprostadil could be pumped to maintain the open ductus arteriosus, and timely referral to the pediatric cardiac surgery for subsequent surgical treatment, which could achieve a good prognosis.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of find-organize-clarify-understand- select-plan-do-check-act (FOCUS-PDCA) cycle management in improving the accuracy of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scoring in inpatients.Methods:This study was a retrospective study. Data from a continuous quality improvement project, namely Improving the Accuracy of Nutritional Risk Screening for Inpatients from People's Hospital of Longhua in 2021 were selected. The NRS 2002 scores of newly admitted patients from 8 departments with relatively high nutritional risk (departments of gstroenterology, neurology, nephrology, respiratory medicine, oncology and hematology, neurosurgery, gastrointestinal surgery, and critical care medicine) from April 10, 2021 to April 29, 2021 (before intervention) were collected. The NRS 2002 scores were evaluated by a multidisciplinary nutrition support team in terms of accuracy and error types. Possible issues in the process of nutritional screening were analyzed and mitigated using the FOCUS-PDCA cycle management method. The NRS 2002 scores from July 18, 2021 to August 8, 2021 (after intervention) were collected in real time to summary the data on accuracy and error types and to evaluate the effect of FOCUS-PDCA.Results:The accuracy of NRS 2002 score in the 8 departments was increased from 52.97% (294/555) to 81.13% (473/583) after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=102.606, P<0.001). The accuracy of nutritional status impairment score was 64.14% before intervention, compared with 90.57% after intervention ( χ2=114.484, P<0.001). The accuracy of disease severity score was 78.56%, compared with 89.54% after intervention( χ2=25.736, P<0.001). The false-negative rate was 68.02% before intervention and 31.87% after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=31.501, P<0.001). Conclusion:FOCUS-PDCA can improve the accuracy of NRS 2002 scoring in inpatients, reduce the risk of failing to identify patients at nutritional risk, and contribute to further nutritional diagnosis and treatment.

The medicinal use of Malvae Semen has a long history. In this paper， by consulting the ancient materia medica， prescription， agronomy， literature and other aspects of the classics， the name， origin， evolution of scientific name， quality， harvesting and processing， functions and indications and others of Malvae Semen were systematically sorted out and verified， so as to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herb. According to the textual research， Shennong Bencaojing began to use Dongkuizi as the correct name， which was used in the past dynasties， and there were also aliases such as Kuicaizi， Huacai， and Kuizi. Through the original research， it can be seen that Kuicai is the mainstream original plant of Malvae Semen， that is， Malva verticillata var. crispa， the Alcea rosea and M. cathayensis are also used. In modern times， the seeds of Abutilon theophrasti have been passed off as Malvae Semen， while the seeds of M. verticillata var. crispa have rarely been used in medicine. And Abutili Semen has been another medicinal material with different efficacy since the collection of Newly Revised Materia Medica in the Tang dynasty. Since the Ming and Qing dynasties， the cultivation of Kuicai has been decreasing， while A. theophrasti is more common and easy to obtain， and Abutili Semen and Malvae Semen are similar in morphology and confused， which should be corrected. In addition， Malvae Fructus is a Mongolian customary medicinal herb， which is different from the traditional use of seeds in traditional Chinese medicine. Kuicai， as an important vegetable in history， was widely cultivated and gradually shrunk after the Song dynasty， it is now mainly produced in southern provinces. The quality evaluation of Malvae Semen is better for those with dry bodies， full grain， grayish brown color， no mud， and no impurities. The harvesting is generally in the autumn and winter. After drying， it is seeded， sieved peel and impurities， mashed， or slightly stir-fried to yellow-white color with gentle fire. It is sweet， cold and slippery in nature and taste， with the main effects of laxation， diuresis， lactation and elimination of swelling. The efficacy of Abutili Semen is clearing heat and removing toxicity， promoting diuresis and removing nebula， the efficacy is quite different from that of Malvae Semen. Based on the results of textual research， it is suggested that M. verticillata var. crispa should be used as the medicinal source of Malvae Semen in the development of famous classical formulas， the corresponding processing methods should be selected according to the requirements of drug processing in the formulas， while the raw products are recommended to be used if the processing is not specified.

Objective To investigate the relationship between different interleukins (ILs) and gynecological tumors, including cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and uterine leiomyoma using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Methods IL and gynecological tumor data were obtained from European populations by using the IEU OpenGWAS open database. Two-sample MR analysis was applied, different interleukins were used as exposure factors, significant SNP in GWAS data were selected as instrumental variables, and the instrumental variables were independent of each other. The risk of three kinds of gynecological tumors was analyzed separately to explore the causal relationship between ILs predicted by genes and outcome indicators. The TwoSampleMR package in R language (4.3.1) software was used for statistical analysis. MR analysis was performed using inverse variance weighted, MR Egger regression, weighted median, simple mode, and weighted mode methods. Results IL-18 receptor 1 (P=0.039) and IL-24 (P=0.025) were negatively correlated with the risk of cervical cancer. IL-4 (P=0.040), IL-21 (P=0.026), and IL-37 (P=0.027) were positively correlated with the risk of endometrial cancer. IL-15 receptor subunit alpha (P=0.005) was negatively correlated with the risk of endometrial cancer. IL-17A (P=0.005) and IL-37 (P=0.018) were negatively correlated with the risk of uterine leiomyoma. IL-21 (P=0.035) was positively correlated with the risk of uterine leiomyoma. Conclusion Genetically predicted IL-4, IL-15Rα, IL-17A, IL-18R1, IL-21, IL-24, and IL-37 are causally associated with the risk of three gynecological tumors. Further exploration of the molecular mechanism of ILs in gynecological tumors may provide potential therapeutic targets for the treatment of gynecological tumors.

Objective To study the effect of STAT3 over-expression-mediated A2 astrocyte polarization on type 1 diabetic mellitus(T1DM)peripheral neuropathy.Methods STAT3 over-expression virus was intrathecally injected into type 1 diabetic rats with painful diabetic neuropathy(PDN).The rats were divided into four groups:control group,T1DM group,T1DM+vector group,and T1DM+STAT3 OE group.Paw withdrawal threshold and paw withdrawal latency were measured.Flow cytometry and RT-qPCR were used to sort astrocytes and determine the phenotype of reactive astrocytes.Immune-fluorescence staining microscopy was performed to observe the changes of A2 phenotype astrocytes in the spinal dorsal horn of each group.Results Compared to the control group,the me-chanical(P＜0.001)and heat thresholds(P＜0.05)were significantly reduced in the T1DM group.The mechanical threshold was significantly increased in the T1DM+STAT3 OE group as compared to that in the T1DM group(P＜0.001).Histolgical analysis showed degenerative pathological changes of spinal dorsal horn astrocytes in the T1DM group.Astrocytes in the T1DM+STAT3 OE group were activated and polarized toward the A2 phenotype.Conclusions The STAT3 pathway in the spinal dorsal horn astrocytes of rats with type 1 diabetic neuropathy is im-paired.Restoring STAT3 expression promotes activation of astrocyte proliferation,activation,and polarization toward the A2 phenotype,thereby alleviating diabetic neuropathic pain.
