OBJECTIVE To establish the fingerprint of Pinghuo tea standard decoction and a method for determination of multi-component to clarify the transfer relationship of quantities and quality from pieces and standard decoction. METHODS Fifteen batches of Pinghuo tea standard decoction were prepared and the extract rate was determined; the fingerprint of the preparation was established by using high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC); the similarity evaluation and the determination of common peaks were performed, and chemometric analysis was performed; the same method was used to determine the content of indicator components and the transfer rate was calculated. The chromatographic column was Venusil C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid solution (gradient elution); the column temperature was 30 ℃, and the detection wavelengths were 238 nm (0-37 min, 85-102 min) and 330 nm (37-85 min) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with an injection volume of 10 μL. RESULTS The similarity of HPLC fingerprints for 15 batches of Pinghuo tea standard decoction was not lower than 0.968. A total of 24 common peaks were calibrated and 9 peaks were recognized, which were as follows neochlorogenic acid (peak 3), chlorogenic acid (peak 6), geniposide (peak 9), glycyrrhizin (peak 10), galuteolin (peak 11), isochlorogenic acid A (peak 14), luteolin (peak 21), kaempferol (peak 23) and glycyrrhizic acid (peak 24). Cluster analysis, principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis showed consistent results, all of which could classify the 15 batches of samples into three categories. The linear range of indicator components in 15 batches of Pinghuo tea standard decoction, such as geniposide, luteolin, isochlorogenic acid A, glycyrrhizin, and glycyrrhizic acid, were 0.020 580-0.411 600, 0.001 617-0.080 850, 0.006 076-0.607 600, 0.005 125-0.071 740, and 0.017 288-0.432 200 mg/mL, respectively; RSDs of precision, repeatability, stability and recovery rate tests were all not higher than 4% (n=6). The mass fractions ranged 3.227 9-10.002 2, 0.297 4-0.554 6, 3.350 1-6.159 6, 0.720 6-1.073 3, 2.003 1-3.030 1 mg/g; transfer rates from the pieces and standard decoction were 19.762 8%-35.840 5%, 12.123 3%-21.254 0%, 46.097 2%-82.869 4%, 58.708 8%-91.629 6%, 39.114 3%-63.710 6%. The transfer rates of the extract from 15 batches of Pinghuo tea standard decoction ranged from 61.15%-84.68%. CONCLUSIONS Established HPLC fingerprint and content determination methods in this study are simple and accurate, which can provide reference for the quantitative value transfer study, quality control, clinical application and the development of subsequent formulations of Pinghuo tea standard decoction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the alleviating effect of calcium cyanamide (CaCN2) soil fumigation on replanting problems of Rehmannia glutinosa. MethodsNewly soil (NP) was used as the control group, while three treatment groups were established: replanted soil (RP), newly soil treated with CaCN2 (120 g·m², tillage depth 25 cm) (NPCC), and replanted soil treated with CaCN2 (RPCC). R. glutinosa was cultivated in all groups. At harvest, the tuber agronomic traits (number of enlarged roots, maximum root diameter, fresh weight, dry weight) were measured. The content of catalpol and rehmannioside D was quantified by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) to evaluate medicinal quality. Rhizosphere soil available nutrients and enzyme activities were analyzed by assay kits. The community structure and composition of fungi and bacteria in rhizosphere soil were assessed via internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) sequencing and 16S rDNA sequencing, respectively. ResultsCompared with NP, the RP group showed obviously reduced in tuber agronomic traits and quality indicators (P0.05). However, the RPCC group showed significant improvement in agronomic traits and a notable increase in rehmannioside D content compared to RP (P0.05). The contents of available phosphorus and potassium in RPCC and NP groups were obviously lower than those in RP (P0.05). The polyphenol oxidase soil (S-PPO) activity in RP was obviously lower than in NP (P0.05), while sucrose soil (S-SC), acid phosphatase soil (S-ACP), and S-PPO activities in RPCC were obviously higher than in RP (P0.05). Microbial richness and diversity in RP were obviously higher than in NP (P0.05), whereas no significant differences were observed between the RPCC and NP. The relative abundances of fungal genera Nectria, Myrothecium, Tomentella, and bacterial genus Skermanella were obviousl lower in RPCC and NP than in RP (P0.05). Correlation analysis that S-ACP activity was positively correlated with the content of rehmannioside D (P0.05). Fungal genera Engyodontium and Alternaria, and bacterial genera Pir4 lineage, Pirellula, Methyloversatilis, Brevundimonas, Ralstonia, and Acidibacter were obviously positively correlated with tuber dry weight (P0.05). Conversely, fungal genera Pseudaleuria, Nectria, Haematonectria, Ceratobasidium, and bacterial genera Streptomyces, Skermanella, RB41, Gemmatimonas, and Bacillus were obviously negatively correlated with dry weight (P0.05). The fungal genus Alternaria and bacterial genera Brevundimonas, Ralstonia, Acidibacter, and Dongia showed positive correlations with medicinal quality of R.glutinosa tuber, while fungal genera Pseudaleuria, Nectria, Stachybotrys, Fusarium, Gibberella, Ceratobasidium, and bacterial genera Sphingomonas, Skermanella, RB41, Gemmatimonas, and Bacillus were obviously negatively correlated (P0.05). ConclusionCaCN2 soil fumigation can significantly improve enzyme activities in replanted Rehmannia rhizosphere soil, enhance the utilization of available nutrients, reshape microbial community structure of replanted R.glutinosa at the family and genus level, and notably improve tuber agronomic traits and medicinal quality. This study provides a novel approach to alleviating replanting problems and offers insights for the integrated development of standardized cultivation techniques, including soil disinfection, nutrient-targeted regulation, and microbial inoculant application.

Objective:
To understand the current status of malnutrition, depressive symptoms, and their coexistence among middle school students, so as to provide references for exploring the "comorbidity-common cause-common prevention" model for these conditions.
Methods:
In September 2023, a stratified random cluster sampling method was adopted to select 88 594 students from junior high schools, regular high schools, and vocational high schools in 12 leagues/cities (covering 103 banners/counties) of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Physical examinations were conducted to collect data on malnutrition, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression (CES-D) Scale was used to assess depressive symptoms. The Chi-square test and multivariate linear stepwise regression analysis were employed to analyze the related factors of malnutrition, depressive symptoms, and their coexistence.
Results:
In 2023, the detection rates of malnutrition, depressive symptoms, and their coexistence among middle school students in Inner Mongolia were 4.60%, 21.85%, and 0.90%, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the detection rates of malnutrition, depressive symptoms, and their coexistence among middle school students of different genders, monitoring sites (except for malnutrition), and school stages ( χ 2=4.95-817.39, all P <0.05). The results of the multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high school students,drink sugar sweetened beverages ≥1 time per day and those with Internet addiction had higher risk of coexisting malnutrition and depressive symptoms [ OR (95% CI )=1.38 (1.04-1.83), 1.46 (1.20-1.78), 2.28 (1.90-2.74), respectively, all P <0.05 ]. The risk of coexistence was lower among female students, those who ate fresh fruits at least once a day, those who engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity for ≥1 time/day, those who engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity for ≥1 hour/day on ≥5 days/week, those who did not use cough syrup without therapeutic need, those who did not use sedative hypnotic drugs without medical advice, and non-drinking students [ OR (95% CI )=0.84 (0.73-0.98), 0.77 (0.66-0.89), 0.82 (0.68-0.98), 0.66 (0.53- 0.80 ), 0.57 (0.41-0.78), 0.63 (0.53-0.72), respectively, all P <0.05].
Conclusions
The occurrence of undernutrition, depressive symptoms, and their coexistence among middle school students in Inner Mongolia can t be ignored. Schools, the government and society should implement a strategy aimed at concurrent prevention of multiple conditions through comprehensive interventions.

Objective:To explore the latent profile types of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior in stroke patients and analyze the influencing factors of different latent profiles.Methods:From January to October 2023, totally 596 stroke patients from the Neurology Department of five ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Henan Province were selected by stratified random sampling. The patients were surveyed using a general information questionnaire, the Stroke Prevention Knowledge Questionnaire (SPKQ), the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the WHO's Quality of Life Questionnaire- Brief Version (WHOQOL-BREF), the Short Form Health Belief Model Scale (SF-HBMS), and the Health Promoting Lifestyle ProfileⅡ (HPLPⅡ). Latent profile analysis was used to classify the capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior characteristics of stroke patients, and multiple logistic regression was conducted to explore the influencing factors of different latent profiles.Results:Three latent profiles of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior in stroke patients were identified, including low capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with high health beliefs (32.4%, 193/596), moderate capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with insufficient health beliefs (47.5%, 283/596), and high capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior with lack of social support (20.1%, 120/596). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that educational level, smoking history, family history, body mass index, and Charlson Comorbidity Index score were influencing factors of different latent profiles ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Stroke patients exhibit distinct classifications of capability-opportunity-motivation-behavior. Targeted interventions should be conducted based on the characteristics of each category to improve health behavior management outcomes in patients.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors for aspiration pneumonia (AP) among stroke survivors with dysphagia and construct a prediction model.Methods:The records of one hundred and forty-eight stroke survivors with dysphagia admitted since 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into an AP group ( n=46) and a non-AP group ( n=102). Univariate and multivariate logistic regressions were evaluated seeking independent risk factors for AP. the receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to analyze predictive power. Results:The incidence of AP was 31%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age, Barthel index, Kubota′s water drinking test grading, nutritional support methods and the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) could be useful independent predictors of AP. The areas under the ROC curves suggested that Kubota grading, nutritional support methods, the NLR and the Barthel index could be used to prepare a prediction nomogram with good sensitivity and specificity.Conclusions:Age, Barthel index, Kubota water drinking test grades, nutritional support methods and NLR are independent predictors of AP for stroke survivors with dysphagia. Combining them in a nomogram gives better predictive power than using the factors alone.

Objective:To compare the changes in pelvic floor electrophysiology and imaging in female patients with myofascial pelvic pain (MFPP), and to explore the characteristics and significance of these changes.Methods:A total of 49 MFPP patients who were admitted to the of Dalian Women′s and Children′s Medical Center (Group) from January 2019 to October 2021 were randomly selected as the research group, and 41 healthy women during the same period were selected as the control group. Both groups filled in the center′s medical history and general condition survey form. French PHENIX series pelvic floor muscle potential detection instrument was used to detect the resting vaginal muscle potential and maximum muscle potential of the two groups. The static tension, dynamic tension and pelvic floor muscle contraction force of the two groups were measured by French PHENIX series electronic tensioning apparatus with 5° and 10° opening respectively. Two dimensional transperineal ultrasound and three dimensional transvaginal ultrasound produced by B-K Company in Denmark were used to measure the length between the lower margin of the bladder neck from the symphysis pubis and the bladder neck and the bladder bottom (BND, BSD), the diameter of the genital tract hiatus and the angle of the anus and rectum. The area, anterior-posterior diameter, transverse diameter and different damage degrees of levator ani levator were measured.Results:The resting muscle potential of the study group was higher than that of the control group: 2 μV vs. 1 μV ( P<0.05); the maximum vaginal myopotential was higher than that of the control group: 7 μV vs. 6 μV ( P<0.05). The static tension, dynamic tension and contractile force: 204 g/m 2 vs. 175 g/m 2, 450 g/m 2 vs. 410 g/m 2 and 237 g/m 2 vs. 51 g/m 2 of pelvic floor muscle in the study group were higher than those in the control group when the tensioner was opened for 5° ( P<0.05). In resting state, BND, BSD and reproductive tract hiatus diameter in the study group were smaller than those in the control group: 14.0 mm vs. 16.7 mm, 15.3 mm vs. 19.7 mm, 46.7 mm vs. 49.5 mm ( P<0.05). The anal angle was greater than that of the control group: 129° vs. 112° ( P<0.05). The anal right angle in the study group was greater than that in the control group: 113° vs. 109° ( P<0.05). In the resting state, the area of levator ANI hiatus: 10.1 cm 2 vs. 11.6 cm 2, anterior and posterior diameters: 44.2 mm vs. 47.4 mm, transverse diameters and the defect scores of levator ani in the study group were all smaller than those in the control group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:MFPP presents with persistent pelvic floor muscle spasm and loss of coordination. MFPP can be treated by spasmolysis of pelvic floor muscle and fascia, which provides reference value for clinical treatment.
