"Dietary inquiry" is a core component of the diagnostic system in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， which can be divided into three aspects including appetite， eating capacity， and food preference. Abnormalities in appetite are mainly attributed to dysfunction of the mind and impaired regulatory mechanisms. Clinical inquiry should focus on hunger sensation and the willingness to eat voluntarily. Treatment should aim to soothe the liver， regulate the spleen， nourish and calm the mind. Abnormalities in eating capacity are related to disorders of qi movement and structural dysfunction， for which inquiry should focus on whether food descends smoothly and on postprandial reactions， and the corresponding treatment is descending qi， relieving fullness， and promoting bowel movement and digestion. Abnormalities in food preference arise from damage caused by the five flavors and imbalance of visceral qi， for which inquiry should focus on dietary preferences and whether eating brings comfort. It is important to distinguish between "stomach preference" and "oral preference"， and treatment should carefully differentiate flavor tendencies and correct imbalances through appropriate dietary flavors. By refining the content of dietary inquiry， this study explores how different dimensions of eating status reflect the holistic concept and syndrome differentiation-based treatment in TCM， providing a reference for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of spleen and stomach diseases and related disorders.

Objective·To investigate the effects and molecular mechanisms of phosphatidylethanolamine(PE)on macrophage senescence and its senescence-associated secretory phenotype(SASP),as well as its pathophysiological role in liver injury.Methods·A macrophage senescence model was established using doxorubicin(DOX),followed by PE treatment.A mouse liver injury model was generated via intraperitoneal co-administration of PE and lipopolysaccharide(LPS)to investigate the effects of PE on liver injury.Senescence markers and SASP factors,including senescence-associated β-galactosidase(SA-β-gal),cell cycle inhibitor p21,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),and interleukin-6(IL-6),were evaluated using SA-β-gal staining,quantitative real-time PCR,and Western blotting.RNA sequencing(RNA-seq)was performed,followed by Gene Ontology(GO)cellular component enrichment analysis,Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment analysis,Gene Set Variation Analysis(GSVA),and Gene Set Enrichment Analysis(GSEA),to explore the molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways by which PE promotes macrophage senescence.The expression of endoplasmic reticulum(ER)stress-related proteins,including inositol-requiring enzyme 1 α(IRE1α),spliced X-box binding protein 1(XBP1s),activating transcription factor 6(ATF6),ATF4,and C/EBP homologous protein(CHOP),was analyzed through in vivo and in vitro experiments.Results·PE significantly promoted the expression of senescence markers SA-β-gal,p21,p16 and SASP factors.RNA-seq analysis revealed that ER stress was involved in PE-induced promotion of SASP.Further experiments demonstrated that PE activated the ER stress signaling pathway,promoting macrophage senescence and the expression of SASP factors.In vivo experiments further confirmed that PE exacerbated LPS-induced liver injury in mice through ER stress.Conclusion·PE promotes macrophage senescence and the expression of SASP factors by activating ER stress signaling pathway,thereby aggravating LPS-induced liver injury.

Objective:The 5th edition of the WHO classification of central nervous system (CNS) tumors in 2021 made significant revisions to the nomenclature and grading system of solitary fibrous tumors (SFT). This study aimed to explore the changes in the grading of CNS SFT and its relationship with clinical pathological features and prognosis.Methods:This study retrospectively reviewed the clinical and pathological data of 82 patients with CNS SFT diagnosed at the First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University from March 2006 to June 2021, reassessed their grading according to the WHO 5th edition CNS tumor classification, and conducted a comprehensive analysis of their histological morphology, immunohistochemical characteristics, and clinical imaging data.Results:The age of the patients ranged from 21 to 83 years, with a median age of 48 years. Follow-up was completed for 82 patients, during which 10 patients died, 24 recurred, and 5 metastasized. MRI imaging showed that SFT exhibited isointense signals on T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) and complex signals on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), with signal intensity decreasing as the content of collagen fibers increased. According to the 2021 grading criteria, there was a significant change in the grading of SFT, with the number of grade 1 SFT increasing from 10 cases under the 2016 standard to 39 cases, while the number of grade 2 and 3 SFT decreased accordingly. The 2016 grading system was significantly correlated with the overall survival (OS) of patients ( P=0.009), while the 2021 grading system did not reach statistical significance. Both grading systems were correlated with histological phenotype, Ki-67 index, mitotic figures, and necrosis ( P＜0.05). All cases expressed STAT6, and showed varying degrees of expression of vimentin, CD99, BCL-2, and CD34. The staining intensity of type Ⅳ collagen fibers, as analyzed semi-quantitatively, was correlated with the OS of the patients ( P=0.017). Conclusions:The new grading system for CNS SFT has undergone significant changes, and its association with OS requires further validation. In-depth study of the content and fine structure of collagen fibers in SFT may have important clinical significance for the prognosis assessment and the formulation of treatment plans for patients. Moreover, quantitative analysis of T2WI signal intensity may provide a new method for preoperative preliminary assessment of the collagen fiber content in SFT.

Objective To investigate the effects of sufentanil on proliferation,invasion,migration,and apoptosis of thyroid cancer cells,and analyze whether its mechanism is related to the AMP-activated protein kinase(AMPK)-silent information regulator 1(SIRT1)-peroxisome proliferat or activator receptor gamma coactivator 1α(PGC-1α)signaling pathway.Methods The human thyroid cancer cell line(TPC-1)was separated into a control group,L,M,H-sufentanil groups,and H-sufentanil+AICAR group.TPC-1 cell activity,apoptosis,invasion,migration,and expression of proteins were detected using CCK-8 assay,flow cytometry,Transwell assay,scratch assay,and Western blot,respectively.Results Compared with the control group,the absorbance value,invasion number,scratch healing rate,cleaved-Caspase-3,programmed cell death 1 ligand 1,B lymphoblastoma-2,p-AMPK/AMPK,SIRT1,and PGC-1αprotein levels in L,M,and H-sufentanil groups were reduced;the apoptosis rate and Bax protein level were increased(P＜0.05).AICAR treatment reversed the effect of H-sufentanil on the above indicators(P＜0.05).Conclusion Sufentanil may inhibit the AMPK-SIRT1-PGC-1α signaling pathway,thereby inhibiting the proliferation and invasion migration of thyroid cancer cells,and promoting cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the effect of combining case-based teaching method with micro teaching method in the teaching of rehabilitation nurses.Methods A total of 60 students from the rehabilitation department of a hospital were selected from January 2021 to December 2022 and divided into control group and observation group by drawing lots,with 30 cases in each group.The control group adopted the traditional teaching and case teaching mode,and the observation group adopted the Semi-nar-case teaching mode and microteaching mode.The results of operation examination,basic theory and independent learning a-bility were compared between the two groups.Results After two months of study,the observation group had higher scores in the operation exam and basic theory than the control group(P＜0.05);The observation group scored higher in self-directed learning ability than the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of case teaching method and microteaching method in the teaching process of rehabilitation nurses is conducive to the students'learning of clinical theoretical knowledge and practical operation,and improving their self-learning ability in the learning process.

Objective By analyzing the causes of coding errors of lower extremity arteriosclerosis occlusion with throm-bosis and the endovascular intervention,explore the principle diagnosis and intervention coding rules to improve coding quality.Methods Inpatient medical records with the principle diagnosis codes of I70-I74 and I77 accompanied by endovascular interven-tional from January 1,2023 to December 31,2023 were retrieved from a tertiary hospital.A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the causes of coding errors.Results A total of 924 eligible cases were selected.There were 41 principle diagnosis cod-ing errors,with an error rate of 4.43％,among which the lower limb atherosclerosis coding had the highest error rate,accounting for 1.30％.There were 46 intervention coding errors,with an error rate of 4.98％,among which the percutaneous thrombectomy had the highest error rate.The main reason for coding errors was insufficient reading of medical record.Conclusion The coding error rate of the principle diagnosis of lower extremity arteriosclerosis occlusion and the endovascular intervention were relatively high.Therefore,it is necessary to continuously strengthen the training of clinicians and coders,including the coding rules and clinical knowledge of specialized disciplines,actively communicate between coders and clinicians,establish a quality control and assessment system,so as to improve the coding quality.

AIM:This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which Qingfei-Jiedu-Huatan Formula(QJHF)regulates autophagy in alveolar macrophages through mTOR in the treatment of severe pneumonia(SP)in rats.METHODS:Sixty SPF-grade male rats were randomly assigned to six groups:control,model,QJHF,moxifloxacin(MOX),rapamycin(RAPA),and QJHF+RAPA,with ten rats in each group.An SP rat model was established using Klebsiella pneumoniae.After seven days of treatment,changes in IL-33 and IFN-γ levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were measured using ELISA.Histopathological alterations in lung tissue were assessed via HE staining,and the autophagy of alveolar macrophages was detected using immunofluorescence co-localization methods.The expression levels of mTOR,beclin-1,and LC3 mRNA in lung tissue were analyzed using qPCR,while Western blot was employed to assess the protein levels of p-mTOR/mTOR,beclin-1,and LC3-II/LC3-I.RESULTS:Compared to the control group,the model group exhibited a deteriorated condition,characterized by alveolar wall rupture and thickening,significant inflammatory cell infiltration in the alveolar cavity,and extensive lung tissue damage(P<0.01).Elevated levels of IL-33 and IFN-γ in BALF were also observed(P<0.01),along with increased colocalization of CD68 and LC3 in immunofluorescence analy-sis.The mTOR mRNA expression in lung tissue decreased(P<0.01),while LC3 and beclin-1 mRNA expressions in-creased(P<0.01).Additionally,the protein expression ratio of p-mTOR/mTOR decreased(P<0.01),whereas LC3-II/LC3-I and beclin-1 protein levels increased(P<0.01).In comparison to the model group,significant improvements were noted after treatment with QJHF and MOX(P<0.01),while RAPA treatment led to a worsening of these indicators(P<0.05).A slight improvement was observed with the QJHF combined with RAPA intervention,though this was not statisti-cally significant.No significant differences were found between the MOX and QJHF groups.However,the QJHF+RAPA group displayed notable improvements in various indicators compared to the RAPA group(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The QJHF can mitigate the inflammatory response associated with severe pneumonia,potentially by activating mTOR phos-phorylation activity,which in turn inhibits excessive autophagy in alveolar macrophages.

Purpose To analyze and discuss the clinicopathological,molecular pathological characteristics,as well as diagnostic and prognostic features of pleomorphic xanthoastrocytoma(PXA)according to the new WHO classifi-cation.Methods 79 cases of PXA were collected to analyze their pathological and clinical data.Immunohistochemis-try using the EnVision method was employed to detect the expression of CD34,ATRX,Rb,Olig-2,H3K27M,H3K27me3,IDH1 R132H,BRAF VE1 and Ki67.Sanger sequencing was used to detect mutations in H3F3A and IDH1/2.Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the BRAF V600E mutation and TERT promoter region al-terations.Fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)was used to detect CDKN2A and EGFR alterations.The relation-ship between clinical,pathological,molecular genetics data,and prognosis was analyzed.Results The patients'ages ranged from 9 to 69 years,with an average age of 36.4 years.Most tumors were located in the temporal lobe,frontal lobe and parietal lobe.Among the 79 cases,42 were classified as grade 2 PXA and 37 as grade 3 PXA.The tumor cells exhibited pleomorphic changes,with perivascular lymphocytic sheaths and eosinophilic bodies frequently ob-served.Grade 3 PXA exhibited more mitotic figures(average of 11.8/10 HPF),and was usually accompanied by nec-rosis,focal marginal infiltration and microvascular proliferation.Immunohistochemistry and molecular characteristics revealed frequent positivity for CD34,BRAF V600E mutation(68.1％),and CDKN2A homozygous deletion(36.8％)in PXA.Some cases showed TERT gene mutation and absent Rb expression.Univariate survival analysis in-dicated that necrosis,focal marginal infiltration,and CNS WHO grade were related to overall survival,while focal infil-tration and CNS WHO grade were the independent risk factors.Conclusion The prognosis of CNS WHO grade 3 PXA is wrose than that of grade 2 PXA.Accurate diagnosis of PXA requires the combination of the morphological features,immunohistochemical staining,and multiple molecular tests.
