Osteoporosis, as a systemic bone disease with high incidence rate and high disability rate, has become a research hotspot in recent years. The daidzein in soybean isoflavones can bind with estrogen receptors, simulating the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis with estrogen-like effect. Its mechanism of action includes promoting osteoblast formation and differentiation by activating the Wnt signaling pathway, increasing bone density, and improving bone tissue health; inhibiting osteoclast differentiation and slowing down bone resorption by reducing receptor activator of nuclear factors κB ligand/ osteoprotegerin ratio, downregulating the expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF); collaborating antioxidant and immune regulation to achieve the goal of preventing and treating osteoporosis. In addition, different doses of daidzein have different effects on bone density and osteoporosis, which may be related to factors such as study design, sample selection, and individual differences.

Objective:To explore the obstacle factors and promoting factors of exercise guidance and implementation after breast cancer surgery, so as to provide reference and basis for the formulation of exercise program after breast cancer patients.Methods:Using the objective sampling method, a total of 10 medical staff and 10 patients with breast cancer after operation from the breast surgery department of the Seven People's Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine hospital in Shanghai were selected as research objects from July to September 2022. A semi-structured interview was conducted. The interview outline was developed based on the knowledge transformation framework, and the results were analyzed by the content analysis method.Results:The study extracted three levels of influencing factors. The system level included caregiver workload, educational materials, norms and responsibilities and trust in evidence-based evidence. The practitioner level included the level of exercise knowledge, the concern about patient compliance and the emphasis on exercise. The patient level included sports knowledge level, personality and interest, venous line, adverse reaction of treatment, psychological state, weather environment, attention to health and concern of family members.Conclusions:The medical staff need to consider the postoperative exercise guidance for breast cancer patients from the department, themselves and patients, and should fully consider the patients' conditions and subjective experience to improve the patients' exercise compliance.

Breast cancer is a systemic malignant tumor caused by multiple pathogenic factors, and its pathological mechanism is complex and has not been clarified so far. It has gradually become the largest killer threatening women's life. The common method for the treatment of breast cancer is lesion resection combined with radiation and chemical therapy, endocrine therapy, or targeted therapy. However, due to the limitations of western medicine therapies, there are still considerable breast cancer patients with poor disease control and high tumor recurrence rate in clinical practice. At the same time, the side effects and complications produced by these therapies affect the quality of life of patients. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new drugs or find safe and effective alternative therapies against breast cancer. Volatile oil (VO), as a unique volatile component of Chinese herbal medicines, has anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anti-tumor activities. It has been applied in the treatment of breast cancer and has demonstrated good efficacy by exerting the unique effects of strengthening healthy Qi, eliminating pathogenic factors, moving Qi, resolving stasis, warming Yang, soothing liver, and relieving depression. The recent studies have confirmed that VO and its chemical components can prevent and treat breast cancer via multiple mechanisms, while there is a lack of systematic review. The relevant literature published in recent years has demonstrated that VO can inhibit the occurrence and development of breast cancer by regulating the level of estrogen, inhibiting the proliferation and inducing the apoptosis of cancer cells, enhancing immunity, resisting inflammation, and regulating emotions. We introduced the pathogenesis of breast cancer, as well as the mechanisms and advantages of VO in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer, aiming to provide new ideas for the research on VO in the treatment of breast cancer.

Objective:To screen the biomarkers in the exhaled breath of mice exposed to benzene by using exhaled breath online analysis system.Methods:Thirty 8-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups (0, 3, 32, 324, 648, and 1 296 mg/m 3) and treated with benzene vapour for 28 days. At the end of the exposure, the peripheral blood cell counts and blood glutathione (GSH) were detected. The content of malondialdehyde (MDA) in HL60 cells treated by mice plasma was examined. Exhaled breath data from mice were collected by Secondary electrospray ionization source high resolution mass spectrometry (SESI-HRMS). Targeted analysis underlying benzene metabolites and oxidative stress metabolites was performed to screen the biomarkers in exhaled breath. Results:After benzene exposure, the number of peripheral blood cells was decreased in different degrees, particularly in the white blood cells (WBC) number. The WBC in 32 and 324 mg/m 3 groups was declined by 27.76% and 52.87%, respectively compared to that in control group ( P<0.05). Meanwhile, compared with the control group, the GSH content of peripheral blood cells from 324 mg/m 3 group decreased by 13.16% ( P<0.05). In addition, MDA content was increased by 18.11% in HL60 cells treated with plasma from 324 mg/m 3 group mice ( P<0.05). The phenol, hydroquinone/catechol, benzenetriol and trans, trans-Muconic acid ( t,t-MA) in the exhaled gas of mice could be used as biomarkers for benzene exposure ( R 2>0.8, P<0.001). The peak intensity of five small molecular metabolites related to oxidative stress (ω-carboxylic fatty acid C 5H 10O 3, ω-carboxylic fatty acid C 6H 12O 3, glutamate, cysteine and MDA) increased with the increase of benzene concentration ( P<0.05), which was negatively correlated with WBC decline ( P<0.001), suggesting that these molecules mignt be used as biomarkers of benzene-induced toxicity. Conclusions:Phenol, hydroquinone/catechol, benzenetriol and trans, trans-Muconic acid ( t,t-MA) in exhaled breath of mice could be used as biomarkers for benzene exposure; ω-carboxylic fatty acid C 5H 10O 3, ω-carboxylic fatty acid C 6H 12O 3, glutamate, cysteine and MDA might be used as markers of benzene-induced toxicity.

The facultative anaerobic and strict anaerobic microorganisms enriched and acclimated during the anaerobic digestion process are crucial for the efficiency of the anaerobic digestion system. Most of the problems encountered during running anaerobic digestion processes could be effectively improved via stimulation of microbial metabolic activity. Benefited from the rapid development of microbiome techniques, deeper insights into the microbial diversity in anaerobic digestion systems, e.g. the microbe-microbe interactions and microbe-environment interactions, have been gained. A complex and intricate metabolic network exists in the anaerobic digestion system of solid organic wastes. However, little is known about these interactions and the underlying mechanisms. This review briefly summarized the representative interactions between microbial communities during anaerobic digestion process discovered to date. In addition, typical issues encountered during the anaerobic digestion of solid organic wastes and how microbes can tackle and alleviate these issues were discussed. Finally, future priorities on microbiome research were proposed based on present contribution of microbiome analysis in anaerobic digestion system.

Simplified outpatient service flow and higher service efficiency can save back-and-forth trips and queuing time of outpatients and better their medical experience. The authors introduced the hospital′s experience in establishing a one-stop multi-functional outpatient service center. This center integrated such departments as outpatient office service, medical insurance office service, and registration & fee payment. Such a " multifunctional post" provided a one-stop service for the patients, hence optimizing the workflow for creating a convenient and fast outpatient service.
