To investigate the clinical features, early recognition and prognosis of influenza-associated intracranial aspergillosis. The clinical data of a child with influenza-related intracranial aspergillosis admitted to the Department of Pediatrics of the Third Xiangya Hospital of Central South University in 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. By searching CNKI, Wanfang Database, Web of Science, PubMed and other Chinese and English databases as of November 2023, literature was screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, and the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of all influenza-related intracranial aspergillus disease were summarized. A total of 5 reports of 5 cases of influenza-associated aspergillosis were obtained, including 1 child patient and 1 child influenza-associated intracranial aspergillosis in this study, and a total of 6 influenza-associated aspergillosis patients. The clinical manifestations of the 6 patients were disturbance of consciousness, hemiplegia, pupil changes, behavioral abnormalities, epilepsy, etc. Most of the cases were diagnosed through pathology or autopsy to find pathogens. In this case, the pathogens were confirmed through metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS). Antifungal drugs were the first choice for treatment. 66.7% of the surviving patients received surgical treatment, and the mortality rate of 6 patients reached 50.0%. Influenza-associated intracranial aspergillosis is rare, can occur in both children and adults, and has a poor prognosis. In the early stage of influenza, if there are neurological symptoms, screening for fungal infection should be conducted. Acer second generation sequencing can improve the diagnosis rate of intracranial aspergillosis.

The incidence of colorectal cancer is high threatening human health. About 60％～70％cases of CRC are derived from colorectal polyps, which can be treated by endoscopic electrotomy to prevent the possibility of canceration. Therefore, in the prevention and treatment of CRC, the role of screening is of great significance. CRC screening methods include the most commonly used fecal occult blood test ( FOBT ) and the more sensitive fecal immunochemical test (FIT), cost-effective fiber sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy, CT colonoscopy (CTC), and fecal DNA testing and immature CRC hematology screening. In this paper, the CRC screening technologies were reviewed, including the principles, characteristics and the latest research progress to provide a theoretical basis for the application and development of CRC screening technology.

Objective:To analyze the medication law of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) patent compounds for Alzheimer disease (AD) by using data mining method.Methods:The TCM compounds for the treatment of AD in the patent database were screened, and the frequency, clustering and association analysis were carried out with the help of TCM inheritance calculation platform, SPSS Statistics 21.0 and SPSS Modeler 18.0 software. The medication law was analyzed.Results:A total of 220 patent compounds were included, involving 361 kinds of Chinese materia medica; the top 10 high-frequency drugs were Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, Polygalae Radix, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Astragali Radix, Lycii Fructus, Poria, Rehmanniae Radix PraeparataAngelicae Sinensis Radix, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma; the most frequently used drugs were drugs for tonifying deficiency and promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis; most of their properties belonged to warm, mild and cold; the tastes were mainly sweet, bitter and pungent; the meridians belonged to the five internal organs. 16 items of association data (4 combinations of two items and 12 combinations of three items) were obtained by association rule analysis, and the strongest correlation group was " Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma- Polygalae Radix" and " Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma- Chuanxiong Rhizoma- Polygalae Radix". Cluster analysis showed four prescription combinations and three pairs of drug compatibility, including the addition and subtraction structure of Kaixin Powder, Zuogui Pill, Bazhen decoction and so on. Conclusion:The core treatment principle of TCM patent compound treatment of AD is regulating and tonifying the five internal organs to treat its root, resolving phlegm and removing blood stasis to treat the symptoms, which accords with the theoretical basis of TCM in the treatment of AD, and can provide reference for clinical practice and new drug research and development.

Aging is a major risk factor for many human diseases, including cognitive impairment, which affects a large population of the elderly. In the past few decades, our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the changes associated with aging and age-related diseases has expanded greatly, shedding light on the potential role of these changes in cognitive impairment. In this article, we review recent advances in understanding of the mechanisms underlying brain aging under normal and pathological conditions, compare their similarities and differences, discuss the causative and adaptive mechanisms of brain aging, and finally attempt to find some rules to guide us on how to promote healthy aging and prevent age-related diseases.
