Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

Objective To investigate the effect of Nde1 gene knockout on early neural development of zebrafish by visualizing the development of neural networks in zebrafish.Methods Transgenic zebrafish Tg(Nde1-/-;HuC:RFP+/-)was constructed by crossing Nde1-/-with Tg(HuC:RFP+/-).The HuC promoter was employed to drive the expression of red fluorescent protein in neurons,which allowing the visualization of zebrafish neural networks and tracking of neural development.Furthermore,by using Image J and Prism to compare the average fluorescence intensity of neurons and the expression level of fluorescent reporter proteins between Nde1 deficiency zebrafish and wild type zebrafish,the effect of Nde1 gene knockout on zebrafish neural development was analyzed.Results From 48 hours post-fertilization(hpf)to 7 days dpf,the average fluorescence intensity of red fluorescence expressed by trigeminal sensory neurons and spinal cord neurons in Nde1 deficiency zebrafish was lower than that in wild type zebrafish.RT-qPCR results also showed that the mRNA expression level of red fluorescent reporter protein in Nde1 deficiency zebrafish was significantly lower than that in the wild type zebrafish.Conclusion Nde1 gene deletion may lead to abnormal development of trigeminal sensory neurons and spinal cordneurons by affecting neural progenitor cell differentiation and increasing apoptosis.

BACKGROUND:β-Defensin has the ability against influenza A virus and inhibits a series of inflammatory responses induced by influenza A virus infection within cells.There have been no reports on whether hemagglutinin 1 from influenza A virus can induce the secretion of mouse β-defensin and interferon-γ when acting in mouse tracheal epithelial cells.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of recombinant hemagglutinin 1 on the production levels of mouse β-defensin and interferon-γ in mouse tracheal epithelial cells.METHODS:Primary mouse tracheal epithelial cell were divided into six groups:blank control group(Control),recombinant hemagglutinin 1 group(200 ng/mL),recombinant hemagglutinin 1+influenza A virus group,influenza A virus group(2×TCID50),recombinant hemagglutinin 1+inactivated influenza A virus group,and inactivated influenza A virus(I)group.After the mouse tracheal epithelial cells in each group were treated for 4,8,or 24 hours,hematoxylin-eosin staining was used for pathological observation.The mRNA levels of mouse β-defensin 2,3,and 4,and interferon-γ were detected by qRT-PCR.The protein levels of mouse β-defensin 2,3,and 4 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and the protein expression of interferon-γ was detected by western blot.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The recombinant hemagglutinin 1 acting alone or in combination with influenza A virus could cause different pathological changes in tracheal epithelial cells.Phenomena such as vacuolation,nuclear pyknosis and cell fusion could be observed in the cells.(2)Compared with the control group,recombinant hemagglutinin 1 alone or in combination with influenza A virus or inactivated influenza A virus significantly induced the production of mouse β-defensin 2,3,and 4(P<0.05)and interferon-γ in mouse tracheal epithelial cells(P<0.05).These results indicate that recombinant hemagglutinin 1 alone or in combination with influenza A virus can induce the production of mouse β-defensin 2,3,and 4 and interferon-γ in mouse tracheal epithelial cells.

Objective:The aim of this study is to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Oxalicao Formula combined with transacu-puncture in the treatment of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis(CNP)characterized by dampness-heat stasis.Methods:A total of 70 patients diagnosed with CNP and characterized by dampness-heat stasis were randomly divided into control group and treatment group,with 35 cases in each group.The patients in control group received Qianlie Beixi capsules.While the patients in treatment group were administered with oxalis decoction in conjunction with acupuncture therapy which lasted for 8 weeks.Pre-and post-treatment evalua-tions for NIH-Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index(NIH-CPSI),Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)symptom scores,urodynamic pa-rameters,immune cell subsets and inflammatory factors were performed.Results:Ultimately,65 patients completed the study with 33 in the treatment group and 32 in the control group.After 8 weeks of intervention,the patients in both of groups demonstrated signifi-cant improvements(P＜0.05).Specifically,remarkable reductions in the NIH-CPSI total score including pain score,urination score,quality of life impact score,TCM symptom score and inflammatory cytokine levels were observed.Additionally,there were upward trends in maximum and average urinary flow rates as well as the CD4+/CD8+ratio of immune cells(P＜0.05).Compared to the con-trol group,the treatment group exhibited superior outcomes in reducing the NIH-CPSI total score,pain score,urination score,quality of life impact score,TCM symptom score,and inflammatory cytokine levels,and increasing in CD4+/CD8+ratios,maximum and av-erage urine flow rates(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The combination of Oxalicao Formula and transacupuncture for treating CNP charac-terized by dampness-heat stasis demonstrates significant therapeutic benefits,which has considerable clinical application value.

Miao medicine is guided by the medical theories of the Miao ethnic group,and the drugs used by the Miao people are derived from natural plants and animals for the prevention and treatment of diseases and protection of health.In recent years,a large number of clinical studies have shown good clinical efficacy of traditional Miao medicine in the treatment of prostatic diseases,with the advantages of easy availability,low price,and minimal adverse reactions.However,currently no systematic literature review has been reported on the treatment of prostatic diseases with Miao medicine.This article focuses on the commonly used Miao drugs recorded in the Chinese Materia Medica-Miao Medicine,with a systematic review of relevant literature retrieved on the treatment of prostate disea-ses with Miao medicine in recent years and a summarization of the advances in the studies of its pharmacological effects,mechanisms of action and clinical application,aiming to provide some new perspectives and ideas for further academic research and clinical develop-ment of Miao medicine.

Compared to traditional machine learning algorithms,which often suffer from low feature extraction efficiency,insufficient nonlinear pattern recognition capabilities and slow training speeds,the broad learning system(BLS)enhances the learning ability and efficiency by horizontally expanding the network structure.BLS offers advantages such as a simple structure,fast training speed,and strong generalization capabilities.While BLS has demonstrated potential in various fields,but its application in identification of complex samples has not been fully explored.This research investigated the feasibility of using BLS algorithm for identification of complex samples based on physicochemical indicators.Using the iris,wine,and breast cancer datasets,the length and width of petals and sepals of iris flowers,the physicochemical properties of wine,and the nuclear characteristics of breast cancer cells were used as input variables to establish BLS models for identifying iris species,wine varieties,and benign versus malignant nucleus.The model performance was evaluated by confusion matrices,accuracy,and runtime.Compared with partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA),soft independent modeling of class analogies(SIMCA),and artificial neural networks(ANN),the results indicated that BLS demonstrated significant advantages in computational efficiency and recognition accuracy.Thus,BLS was an efficient and reliable method for identification of complex samples.

Organophosphorus pesticides(OPs)are widely used in global agriculture,and pose a serious threat to ecological environment and human health due to their high environmental persistence and biological toxicity.Colorimetric sensing strategies based on the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase(AChE)have become an important method for detecting OPs because of their simplicity and high specificity.However,the sensitivity is limited by the insufficient catalytic efficiency of traditional nanozymes.In this study,a one-step solvothermal method was used to synthesize polyoxometalate nanoribbons(POM)loaded with gold nanoparticles(Au NPs),named Au-POM.Experimental results showed that Au-POM could catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 in an acidic environment(pH 4.0),demonstrating typical peroxidase-like activity.Based on this,an AChE,choline oxidase(ChOx)and Au-POM nano enzyme cascade catalytic system was constructed.In this system,AChE specifically catalyzed the hydrolysis of acetylcholine(ACh)to choline,and then ChOx mediated the oxidation of choline to produce H2O2.During this process,Au-POM acted as a peroxidase-like enzyme to catalyze the decomposition of H2O2 to generate reactive oxygen species,triggering a specific oxidation reaction of the chromogenic substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine(TMB)into oxidized form.When the OP pesticide ethoprophos(EP)was present,it inhibited the activity of AChE and blocked the generation of ACh and H2O2,indirectly inhibiting the oxidation of TMB.The color and absorbance of the solution changed in a concentration-dependent manner.The detection limit of this method for EP was 1.05 μmol/L,and the linear response range was 20-180 μmol/L(R2=0.998).This method was applied to detection of environmental water samples and coriander samples with satisfactory results,providing a reliable technical platform for monitoring of OPs in environment and food.

Objective To explore the relationship between levels of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1),and transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)in the synovial fluid of children with avascular necrosis of the femoral head(also known as Perthes disease)and the efficacy of postoperative revascularization,aiming to provide a basis for subsequent diagnosis and treatment.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 262 children with Perthes disease admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Gansu University of Chinese Medicine from January 2023 to June 2024.Based on postoperative revascularization efficacy,patients were divided into good revascularization group(n=228)and poor revascularization group(n=34).For poor revascularization group,a 1:2 matched case-control design was used to select 68 age-matched children with hip synovitis who underwent hip joint fluid puncture as control group.Additionally,82 children with Perthes disease treated at the hospital from June 2024 to January 2025 were enrolled as a validation cohort for nomogram model verification.The expression levels of VEGF,IGF-1 and TGF-β1 in the synovial fluid of three groups were compared.Confounding biases were controlled through univariate and stratified analyses.Binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors affecting the revascularization effect.R software was utilized to draw and verify the nomogram model for predicting the postoperative revascularization effect.Results The levels of VEGF,IGF-1 and TGF-β1 in the synovial fluid of children in poor revascularization group were all higher than those in control group and good revascularization group(P<0.05).After three types of reconstructive surgeries,the levels of VEGF,IGF-1 and TGF-β1 in the synovial fluid of children with poor revascularization were all higher than those in children with good revascularization(P<0.05);however,there was no statistically significant difference in the above indicators among different surgical types(P>0.05).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that the levels of VEGF,IGF-1,and TGF-β1 in the synovial fluid were independent risk factors for poor postoperative revascularization in children with Perthes disease.The area under the ROC curve of the nomogram model established accordingly for predicting poor postoperative revascularization in children with Perthes disease was 0.875(95%CI 0.805-0.945),with a sensitivity of 0.874 and a specificity of 0.851.Moreover,the calibration curve and decision curve analysis(DCA)indicated that the model had good clinical applicability.Conclusions The increased levels of VEGF,IGF-1 and TGF-β1 in synovial fluid are associated with poor postoperative revascularization in children with Perthes disease.These three factors are expected to become prognostic indicators for children with Perthes disease.

Objective To investigate the anatomical structure and surface location of the Lieque(LU7)acupoint.Methods Firstly,the anatomical localization descriptions of the Lieque(LU7)acupoint from classical medical literature were reviewed and summarized.A total of 21 participants were recruited from Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University from January to March 2025.A Cartesian coordinate system was established over the Lieque(LU7)region on the right forearm.Following standardized manual pressure stimulation,the coordinates of the participant′s reported acupoint sensations were recorded.Based on surface pressure mapping result,10 participants were arbitrarily selected for acupuncture intervention.Upon elicitation of acupoint sensation,the ultrasound imaging was used for real-time visualization of anatomical spatial relationships between the needle tip and distal radial osseous landmarks.Five red latex-perfused adult upper limb specimens were selected for microdissection of the Lieque(LU7)regions pre-localized via ultrasonography,achieving definitive structural characterization of its anatomical strata.Another 10 participants were arbitrarily selected to find the physical structure of the Lieque(LU7)acupoint using ultrasound,and the similarities and differences of acupoint sensation responses were verified using acupuncture needle insertions into both the demarcated zone and peripheral tissues.Results The descriptions of the localization of the Lieque(LU7)acupoint in ancient books can be summarized as"one and a half cun above the wrist side"longitudinally,and"at the intersection head,between two tendons and two bones in the hollow"transversely.During surface pressure application,the sites of the participant′s elicited acupoint sensation were anatomically concentrated in the proximal depression adjacent to the radiopalmar ridge,specifically at the transitional interface between the extensor pollicis brevis tendon and scaphoid bone.During acupuncture-induced acupoint sensation,ultrasound imaging demonstrated that the location of the needle tip was located within the proximal depression adjacent to the radiopalmar ridge,accompanied by arterial hemodynamic perfusion signals into adjacent osseous interfaces.Microdissection findings revealed perforating branches of the radial artery traversing the cortical bone interface within the Lieque(LU7)acupoint region.Acupuncture stimulation at the proximal depression adjacent to the radiopalmar ridge elicited consistent acupoint sensations in all 10 participants,and the acupoint sensations differed from those of other surrounding tissues.Conclusion The anatomical structure of Lieque(LU7)acupoint is located within the proximal depression adjacent to the radiopalmar ridge,characterized by the presence of"hilus of bone"structure.
