ObjectiveTo analyze the adverse reactions associated with the clinical use of Banxia （Rhizoma Pinelliae）- Wutou （Aconitum） in the same formula， with the aim of providing a reference for the safety of their clinical application. MethodsLiterature on the clinical application of antagonistic herbs "Banxia-Wutou" used in the same formula， published from January 1st， 2014， to June 30th， 2023， was retrieved from databases including CNKI， VIP， Wanfang， SinoMed， PubMed， Cochrane Library， and Embase. A database was established， and information related to adverse reactions was extracted， including descriptions， classifications， specific manifestations， management and outcomes， patients' primary diseases （western medicine diseases and traditional Chinese medicine diagnoses and syndromes）， and medication information （dosage， ratio， administration routes， and dosage forms）. ResultsA total of 79 researches simultaneously used antagonistic herbs Banxia-Wutou in the same formula and reported associated advers reactions. Gastrointestinal adverse reactions were the most common， with 8 studies reporting management of adverse reactions and 3 studies reporting improvement with no intervention. Among the 11 researches， the adverse reaction relieved to extant， while other 69 researches didn't report the managment of adverse reaction and its prognosis. For the primary disease in western medicine system， chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） were most common， while gastric pain was the most common symptom in traditional Chinese medicine with spleen and kidney deficiency and spleen stomach cold deficiency being the most frequent syndromes. The most common Banxia dosage was 10 g， while for the Wutou， Fuzi （Radix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata） was predominant with the highest dose at 15 g. The most frequent herbal combination was Banxia-fuzi， with a 1∶1 ratio. The main administration route was oral， and the primary dosage form was decoction. ConclusionGastrointestinal adverse reactions are the most common in the clinical use of Banxia-Wutou antagonistic herb combinations. Research on the safety of "Banxia-Wutou" combinations should focus on respiratory system diseases and spleen-stomach related conditions.

Objective To understand the current situation of nutrition literacy of primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District of Beijing, and analyze its influencing factors, and to put forward targeted suggestions for improving the students’ nutrition literacy and promoting their healthy growth. Methods A multi-stage stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 2480 primary and secondary school students and their parents from 5 primary schools, 3 middle schools and 1 high school in Shijingshan District. The multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze the factors influencing the attainment rate of nutrition literacy. Results The median score of nutrition literacy of 2480 primary and secondary school students from grades 1 to 12 was 77.86 (in hundred-mark system), the quartile range (IQR) was 16.96, and the attainment rate of nutrition literacy was 42.46%. The cognitive level (45.12%) was higher than the skill level (41.20%) among students from grades 3 to 12. In terms of skills, the attainment rate of food preparation was the lowest, at 30.38%. The scores of nutrition literacy of girls were higher than those of boys, and the scores of primary school students were higher than those of secondary school students. Students with different levels of caregiver’s education, family income, and family food environment had different scores of nutrition literacy, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the attainment rate of nutrition literacy was closely related to student’s gender and study stage, caregiver’s education level, and family food environment. Conclusion The nutrition literacy of primary and secondary school students in Shijingshan District still needs to be improved, especially in the aspect of skills. Targeted nutrition education should be carried out.

Drug development encompasses multiple processes, wherein protein subcellular localization is essential. It promotes target identification, treatment development, and the design of drug delivery systems. In this research, a deep learning framework called LocPro is presented for predicting protein subcellular localization. Specifically, LocPro is unique in (a) combining protein representations from the pre-trained large language model (LLM) ESM2 and the expert-driven tool PROFEAT, (b) implementing a hybrid deep neural network architecture that integrates convolutional neural network (CNN), fully connected (FC) layer, and bidirectional long short-term memory (BiLSTM) blocks, and (c) developing a multi-label framework for predicting protein subcellular localization at multiple granularity levels. Additionally, a dataset was curated and divided using a homology-based strategy for training and validation. Comparative analyses show that LocPro outperforms existing methods in sequence-based multi-label protein subcellular localization prediction. The practical utility of this framework is further demonstrated through case studies on drug target subcellular localization. All in all, LocPro serves as a valuable complement to existing protein localization prediction tools. The web server is freely accessible at https://idrblab.org/LocPro/.

In the realm of oral implantology, currently, there is no unanimous consensus or authoritative guideline regarding how to conduct implant restoration for cases involving oroantral communication or oroantral fistula. In these cases, the bony plate of the maxillary sinus floor is discontinuous, the oro-sinus mucosa is in communication, and a vertical alveolar bone defect exists. This paper presents a case of a patient with two oroantral communications who successfully underwent implant restoration via simple staged surgeries. Following a 2-year clinical follow-up, the implant remains in good condition, and the patient expresses satisfaction. The objective of this paper is to offer a simple, safe, and readily-promotable new approach for such cases.

Objective:To elucidate the cytopathological characteristics,molecular subtypes,and clinical prognoses of metastatic breast car-cinoma with serosal effusions.Methods:Seventeen cases that included effusion cytology and clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Two patients were diagnosed between April 2016 and September 2023 at the Suzhou Ninth Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University,and 15 patients were diagnosed at The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University.Cytopathological characteristics,molecular subtypes,and prognoses were analyzed.Results:The cytopathological features of metastatic breast carcinoma in serosal effusions were as follows:1)In-vasive ductal carcinoma:one cell type was relatively densely arranged in nests or colored spheres,which displayed an elevated nuclear/cyto-plasmic ratio,irregular nuclear membrane,and cytoplasmic mucin vacuoles.The other cell type was tiled,single scattered,and varied in size and shape,with enlarged nuclei and elevated nuclear/cytoplasmic ratio.2)Invasive lobular carcinoma:cells were scattered and uniform in size and shape.The nuclei had a relatively regular shape,but displayed an elevated nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio.Among the 17 breast can-cer cases,6 had transitioned in molecular subtyping,including 1 case from Luminal A to triple-negative type,1 case from Luminal B to hu-man epidermal growth factor receptor 2(HER-2)-overexpressing type,and 4 cases from Luminal B to triple-negative type.Conclusions:The cytopathological characteristics of serous effusion cells combined with immunocytochemical staining and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)suggest that it is important to determine the origin and molecular typing of tumor cells.This provides an important basis for precise clinical treatment and prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects and potential mechanisms of Marsdeniae Tenacissimae Caulis(Tongguanteng)injection and extract in human osteosarcoma cells proliferation,migration,invasion,and apoptosis.Methods MNNG/HOS,Saos-2 osteosarcoma cells,and normal bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMSC)were cultured in vitro.Cells were incubated with different concentrations of Tongguanteng injection and Tongguanteng extract(40,60,80 mg/mL).Cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK-8 assay and plate colony formation assay.Cell migration and invasion were evaluated by scratch assay and Transwell assay.Cell apoptosis was evaluated by Hoechst33342 staining and Annexin-V/PI double staining assay.Bax,Bcl-2 and Caspase-3 mRNA expression were detected using RT-qPCR.The protein expressions of JAK1,p-JAK1,STAT3,p-STAT3 and MMP9 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the control group,both Tongguanteng injection and extract significantly decreased the survival rate of MNNG/HOS and Saos-2 cells,inhibited cell clone formation,migration,and invasion,induced cell apoptosis(P<0.05,P<0.01),promoted Bax mRNA and protein expression,inhibited Bcl-2 mRNA and protein expression,and up-regulated Caspase-3 mRNA and Cleaved Caspase-3 protein expression.Tongguanteng injection could significantly down-regulate the expressions of p-JAK1,p-STAT3 and MMP9 protein expression in Saos-2 cells(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Both Tongguanteng injection and Tongguanteng extract can significantly inhibit proliferation,migration and invasion of human osteosarcoma MNNG/HOS and Saos-2 cells,and induce apoptosis,with no significant difference in anti-tumor effect.The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the activation of JAK1/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Marsdenia tenacissima in the treatment of breast cancer through network pharmacology and experimental verification.Methods Literature retrieval was conducted to obtain the active components of Marsdenia tenacissima.The SwissTargetPrediction database was used to predict the potential targets of these active components.Targets of breast cancer were obtained from GeneCards,GEPIA2,OMIM,PharmGKB and TTD databases.The intersection targets were obtained,and a Marsdenia tenacissima-breast cancer-targets network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.0 software.The core targets were identified through protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis,followed by GO and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis to screen relevant signaling pathways.Molecular docking validation was performed for the top 10 key targets and major active components.The human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was treated with Marsdenia tenacissima injection in vitro.Cell proliferation ability was detected by CCK-8 assay and colony formation assay.Cell apoptosis was detected by Calcein-AM/PI staining and flow cytometry.Cell migration ability was detected by Transwell assay.Western blot experiment was used to validate the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.Results Totally 37 active components and 276 potential targets against breast cancer were screened from Marsdenia tenacissima,including 11alpha-O-Benzoyl-12beta-O-acetyl tenacigenin B,Caffeic acid,Drevogenin A and Kaempferol.25 core targets were screened by PPI network such as AKT1,EGFR,TNF,CTNNB1 and IL-6,which mainly affected the estrogen signaling pathway,ErbB signaling pathway,HIF-1 signaling pathway and PI3K-AKT signaling pathway,etc.The molecular docking results showed that the main active components of Marsdenia tenacissima exhibited good binding activities with the core targets AKT1,ALB,CASP3,ESR1 and TNF.The results of in vitro experiments showed that Marsdenia tenacissima injection could inhibit the proliferation and migration ability of MDA-MB-231 cells(P<0.01,P<0.001)and induce apoptosis(P<0.001),as well as inhibit the activation of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion Marsdenia tenacissima may exert its anti-breast cancer effects through multiple targets and pathways,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway.

Teaching clinics represent a unique form of outpatient training of resident physicians and serve as a crucial instrument and core component of standardized training of general practice residents. This article reviews the common model and innovations of teaching clinics of general practice in China, and analyzes their reported effectiveness in enhancing the capabilities of consultation of resident physicians, the teaching capabilities of general practice trainers, as well as satisfaction levels of involved participants. It outlines the challenges encountered in implementing teaching clinics, including inadequate teaching facilities and equipment, incomplete incentive system for teaching, difficulties in patient recruitment, and weaknesses in the teaching capabilities of trainers. To address these challenges, this article proposes corresponding strategies based on realistic needs, including the improvement of facilities and equipment in teaching clinics, the establishment of incentive systems for teaching clinics, the expansion of patient recruitment channels for teaching clinics, and the enhancement of training for trainers' teaching capabilities. This is envisaged to provide both theoretical bases and practical guidance for the effective execution and standardized development of teaching clinics in general practice residency training bases.

Objective To compare the outcomes of transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery(vNOTES)and laparoendoscopic single-site surgery(LESS)for total uterine excision in obese patients with benign uterine lesions,and to investigate the utility of vNOTES in this patient population.Methods A total of 100 obese patients(BMI>28.0 kg/m2)diagnosed with benign uterine lesions requiring total uterine and bilateral salpingectomy between January 2022 and January 2023 were included in this study.They were randomly assigned to two groups:the LESS group(n=51)and the vNOTES group(n=49).Patient demographics,surgical duration,intraoperative blood loss,changes in hemoglobin levels,pain scores,time to first flatus postoperatively,length of hospital stay,pelvic floor function,sexual quality of life,and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results The two groups did not show any statistically significant differences in terms of blood loss,pre-and postoperative hemoglobin changes,pelvic floor function,sexual quality of life,or postoperative complications(P>0.05).However,the vNOTES group exhibited shorter surgical durations,time to first flatus postoperatively,and length of hospital stay compared to the LESS group(P<0.05).Additionally,the vNOTES group demonstrated lower intraoperative pain scores than the LESS group.(P<0.05).Conclusions In obese patients with benign uterine lesions,vNOTES total uterine excision surgery demonstrated shorter surgical durations and postoperative hospital stays,lower postoperative pain scores,and better adherence to the principles of en-hanced recovery after surgery(ERAS),indicating its potential for broader application.

Objective The objective of this study was to analyze the longitudinal trend of multidimensional treatment quality of breast cancer based on the latent growth mixture model(LGMM),identify potential change patterns and influencing factors,and pro-vide scientific basis for improving treatment quality and patient prognosis.Methods The quality monitoring data of breast cancer from four consecutive years were obtained in the National"Quality Monitoring System for Specific(single)Disease";Based on the item response theory(IRT),the treatment quality of breast cancer in the three dimensions of preoperative examination,treatment,and out-come was calculated;LGMM was constructed to analyze the independent and joint change trend of breast cancer treatment quality in all dimensions,and the optimal model was determined based on practical significance and statistical indicators.Results In the inde-pendent trend analysis,2 potential categories were identified for preoperative examination,treatment,and outcome dimensions.Among them,9%showed a rapid upward trend in the preoperative examination dimension,and 91%showed a relatively stable trend;The sta-ble growth accounted for 23%and slow decline accounted for 77%in the treatment dimension;13%of the outcome dimensions showed an upward trend,while 87%showed a downward trend.In the joint trend analysis of changes,2 potential categories were identified:the first category accounted for about 8%,and the preoperative examination dimension of this category had a good treatment quality,with mean intercepts and slopes of 3.326 and 3.367,respectively.The treatment quality in the treatment and outcome dimensions had steadily improved;The second category accounted for about 92%,and the treatment quality in this dimension was relatively good.Its mean intercept and slope were 0.548 and 0.018,respectively.There is still room for improvement in the treatment quality of the pre-operative examination and outcome dimensions;BMI and M stage in patient characteristics are important influencing factors on the trend of combined changes in treatment quality.Conclusion The treatment quality of breast cancer during this study period has im-proved to varying degrees in all dimensions of preoperative examination,treatment and outcome;In the joint trend analysis of the three dimensions,the improvement of treatment quality in the preoperative examination dimension can provide feasible references for subse-quent treatment and achieve the goal of reducing complications.
