OBJECTIVE To establish the high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） fingerprint of Sagina japonica ， and to establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker （QAMS） method for simultaneous determination of six componen ts in S. japonica ， aiming to provide references for the quality control of this medicinal herb. METHODS HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprints of 12 batches （No. S1-S12） of S . japonica according to Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine . The similarity evaluation and identification of common peaks were conducted， followed by cluster analysis （CA） and principal component analysis （PCA） for 12 batches of samples. Using vicenin-2 as internal reference， the contents of p-hydroxy cinnamic acid， apigenin-6-C-arabinoside-8-C-glucoside， isoorientin， vitexin and 20-hydroxyecdysone were determined by QAMS method. The results were then compared with those obtained by the external standard method. RESULTS The similarities of HPLC fingerprints for 12 batches of S . japonica ranged from 0.828-0.998. A total of 17 common peaks were calibrated， and 6 common peaks were identified. Specifically， peak 5 was identified as vicenin-2， peak 7 as p-hydroxycinnamic acid， peak 10 as apigenin-6-C-arabinoside-8-C-glucoside， peak 11 as isoorientin， peak 13 as vitexin， and peak 15 as 20-hydroxyecdysone. The results of CA showed that S1-S5， S7 and S9-S11 were clustered into one category， S6 was clustered into one category， and S8 and S12 were clustered into one category. The results of PCA revealed that the accumulative contribution rate of the four main components was 89.430%. The content ranges measured by QAMS method for p-hydroxy cinnamic acid， apigenin-6-C-arabinoside-8-C-glucoside， isoorientin， vitexin and 20-hydroxyecdysone were 0.017 4-0.269 4， 0.568 8-4.240 3， 0.503 2-5.040 3， 0.024 0-0.132 0 and 2.551 3-4.881 1 mg/g， respectively. There was no significant difference in the contents of components measured between QAMS method and the external standard method （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC fingerprint and QAMS method can be used for quality evaluation and quality control of S . japonica.

AIM:To investigate the application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)time parameters in the classification diagnosis of choroidal space-occupying lesions.METHODS: Patients with choroidal space-occupying lesions who underwent CEUS at Xi'an People's Hospital(Xi'an Fourth Hospital)between June 2020 and January 2024 were enrolled. According to the final clinical diagnosis and pathological findings, the patients were divided into a benign group(choroidal hemangioma), a malignant group(choroidal melanoma), and a hemorrhage group(subchoroidal hemorrhage). CEUS characteristics and contrast parameters, including rise time(RT), time to peak(TP), and washout time(WT), as well as the incidence of adverse reactions, were analyzed to evaluate the diagnostic value of CEUS.RESULTS:A total of 120 patients(120 eyes)with choroidal space-occupying lesions were included, with 40 patients(40 eyes)in each group. The patients in the benign group were aged 45-70(mean age 57.5±12.4 )y, including 19 males and 21 females; those in the malignant group were aged 43-72(mean age 56.9±13.1 )y, including 23 males and 17 females; and those in the hemorrhage group were aged 40-61(mean age 54.4±9.7 )y, including 22 males and 18 females. The benign group predominantly exhibited homogeneous hyperenhancement with a “fast-in, slow-out”perfusion pattern, whereas the malignant group mainly showed heterogeneous hyperenhancement with a “fast-in, fast-out”perfusion pattern. No obvious enhancement was observed in the hemorrhage group, exhibiting a “no-in, no-out” perfusion pattern. Significant differences were found among the three groups in CEUS characteristics and quantitative parameters, whereas no significant difference was observed in the incidence of adverse reactions.CONCLUSION: CEUS can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of choroidal space-occupying lesions and may serve as a useful reference for clinical decision-making, with a favorable safety profile.

Objective: To investigate the association characteristics between psychological resilience and Internet gaming addiction among primary and secondary school students across different educational stages, so as to provide evidence for stage specific intervention strategies. Methods: A total of 30 719 students from primary schools, junior high schools, and senior high schools in Guangzhou, were selected using a cluster random sampling method from October to December 2025. The 10 item Connor- Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) and the Internet Gaming Disorder Scale-Short Form (IGDS9-SF) were used to assess students phychological resilience and Internet gaming addication levels. One way analysis of variance was used for group comparisons. Network analysis was conducted to construct joint networks of psychological resilience and Internet gaming addiction across different educational stages, with a focus on identifying bridge nodes between the two domains. Results: Significant differences were observed in psychological resilience points (24.9±8.0, 24.3±8.2, 24.8±7.8) across priamry school, junior high school and senior high school ( F=18.91, P <0.01). There was a statistically significant difference in the scores of Internet game addiction points ( 17.7 ±7.6, 18.6±7.3, 19.2±7.0) among students across priamry school, junior high school and senior high school ( F=85.68, P <0.01). Psychological resilience was negatively correlated with Internet gaming addiction scores among primary school, junior high school, and senior high school students ( r =-0.27, -0.28, -0.19, all P <0.01). Network analysis revealed relatively close associations between psychological resilience and Internet gaming addiction across all educational stages. The bridge nodes were "withdrawal symptoms" for primary school, "toughness" for junior high school, and "loss of interest" for senior high school, with bridge expected influence values of 1.37, 1.31, and 1.18, respectively. The expected influence and bridge expected influence demonstrated good stability across the three educational stages, with correlation stability coefficients of 0.75. Conclusions The cross-community connections between psychological resilience and Internet gaming addiction differ across educational stages. Prevention and control of Internet gaming addiction should incorporate targeted interventions based on key bridge symptoms identified at each specific educational stage.

Objective To explore the relevant prognostic factors of retinoblastoma(RB)in children after selective ophthalmic artery infusion(SOAI).Methods The MRI and clinical data of 256 children with intraocular RB in monocular disease were analyzed retro-spectively.The influence of various factors on the prognosis was analyzed.Results Chidren with higher signal intensity(△SI),lon-ger distance from optic disc,smaller tumor diameter,no implant focus or small implant area,endogenous growth pattern,smaller retinal exfoliation area,no clinical risk factors,no vitreous hemorrhage,no eyeball shrinkage had better prognoses(P<0.05),the distance between tumor and optic disc,clinical risk factors and tumor growth pattern were independent prognostic factors.Conclusion The distance between tumor and optic disc,clinical risk factors and tumor growth pattern are closely related to the prognosis of children.Other factors can be used as important indicators to evaluate the prognosis of children.

The clinical data of 2 pediatric patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) who were admitted to the Department of Nephrology at the Children′s Hospital of Nanjing Medical University on July 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Both patients had combined CFH and CD46 gene mutations.One patient, a 2-year-old boy, presented jaundice and darkened urine following mumps.The other patient, a 7-month-old girl and the younger sister of the boy, developed fever, cough, vomiting, and thrombocytopenia without any apparent cause.Laboratory tests revealed hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute kidney injury in both patients.The genetic test results revealed mutations in both CFH (c.3572C>T, p.Ser1191Leu) and CD46 genes (c.293C>T, p.Thr98Ile) in both patients.The patients′ mother is a heterozygous carrier of the CFH gene mutation, while their father is a heterozygous carrier of the CD46 gene mutation.Both parents exhibit normal phenotypes and are currently receiving regular infusions of Eculizumab.The pediatric aHUS caused by combined CFH and CD46 gene mutations is reported in this study for the first time in China.The clinical features of these patients are summarized and analyzed.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)and homocysteine(Hcy)combined with white matter hyperintensities(WMH)for cognitive impairment in patients with cerebral small vessel disease(CSVD).Methods A total of 240 patients with CSVD were selected.According to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)scale,all subjects were divided into the non-cognitive impairment group(MoCA≥26 points,120 cases)and the cognitive impairment group(MoCA＜26 points,120 cases).Paraventricular white matter high signal(PWMHs)and deep white matter high signal(DWMHs)were scored by Fazekas scale.The sum of the two parts was the total score,and the severity of DWMHs was graded by the score.The basic information,serum Lp-PLA2,Hcy level and severity of WMH were compared between the two groups.Logistic regression was applied to analyze influencing factors of cognitive impairment in CSVD patients.The predictive value of serum level of Lp-PLA2 and Hcy and WMH for cognitive impairment in CSVD patients was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results Compared with the non-cognitive impairment group,patients of the cognitive impairment group were older,had higher serum levels of Lp-PLA2 and Hcy,and had more severe of WMH(P＜0.05).Results of Logistic regression analysis showed that serum Lp-PLA2,Hcy levels and severity of WMH were influencing factors for cognitive impairment of patients with CSVD(P＜0.05).The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum Lp-PLA2,Hcy level combined with severity of WMH predicting cognitive impairment in patents with CSVD was 0.812,the sensitivity was 81.7%and the specificity was 71.7%(P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with cognitive impairment caused by CSVD have higher serum levels of Lp-PLA2 and Hcy,and more severe WMH.The combination of the three has a relatively high predictive value for cognitive impairment in patents with CSVD.

Objective:To explore the differences in the characteristics of policies and the synergies between policy objectives and policy tools of health and wellness policies in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.Methods:The policy characteristics of the policies in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei were analyzed with the help of Latent Dirichlet Allocation(LDA)theme model and text mining method.Correlation analysis and policy consistency modeling were used to analyze the consistency of policies issued from 2014 to 2023 in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in nine dimensions,including health care,training,emergency response,quality control,evaluation,regulation,medical insurance,medicine,and health care.Results:Beijing,Tianjin and Hebei have differentiated policy concerns at different stages,with Beijing focusing on healthcare integration and nursing care,Tianjin focusing on quality control and cost management,and Hebei focusing on physician qualification assessment and equipment management.Beijing,Tianjin and Hebei have steadily improved medical insurance interoperability and emergency response synergies,and lacked coherence in policy synergies in other dimensions.Hebei showed a stronger willingness to synergize the policy subjects.Conclusion:There is still a lack of long-term policy harmonization within Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei.In the future,efforts should be made to promote the process of policy synergization and coordination among the three regions of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei in policy implementation.

Objective To compare functional differences of CD8+T cells in lung tissues between young and aged C57BL/6J mice during the contraction phase and memory immune response phase after infection with influenza A(H1N1)virus.Methods Lung tissues from young(3-month-old)and aged(24-month-old)C57BL/6J female mice without influenza virus infection were collected to prepare single-cell suspensions,which were stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA)/ionomycin or cluster of differentiation(CD)3/CD28 antibodies(T-cell antigen receptor/co-stimulatory signals)respectively(non-specific antigens stimulation).Flow cytometry intracellular cytokine staining(ICS)was performed on lung CD8+T cells to detect their secretion capacity of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interferon-γ(IFN-γ).Young and aged C57BL/6J mice were infected intranasally with 490 PFU PR8 influenza virus,and reinfected with homologous influenza virus 28 days later.Lung tissues were isolated on day 28(the contraction phase)and day 32(the memory immune response phase)after primary infection.Influenza virus-specific MHC-Ⅰ tetramer staining was used to detect the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells in lung tissue CD8+T cells,and ICS was used to analyze TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B expression in CD8+CD44high T cell subset.Results After non-specific antigen stimulation,TNF-α and IFN-γ secretion capacity in lung tissue CD8+T cells of aged group mice was significantly higher than that of young group(P＜0.05).After virus-specific antigen stimulation,there were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells and the expression levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B between the two groups of mice during the contraction phase(P＞0.05),while during the memory immune response phase,the proportion of virus-specific CD8+T cells and the expression levels of TNF-α,IFN-γ,and granzyme B in the aged group mice were significantly lower than those in the young group(P＜0.05).Conclusion CD8+T cells in aged mice maintain normal immune-related factor expression function under non-specific antigen stimulation,but show impaired immune-related factor expression function during antigen-specific memory immune response phase,suggesting that aging leads to defects in the formation or maintenance of CD8+T cell immune memory.

Objective We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Shengxuebao Mixture in the treatment of cancer-related anemia(CRA)presenting with syndrome of deficiency of liver and kidney combined with syndrome of deficiency of both qi and blood.Methods A randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,multicenter clinical trial was conducted.Eligible patients with malignant tumors meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled from 26 hospitals,including Dongzhimen Hospital,Beijing University of Chinese Medicine,Xiaogan Central Hospital,and Yangzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,from June 1,2022,to September 30,2024.Patients were allocated 1:1 to either the experimental group receiving Shengxuebao Mixture or the control group receiving its simulator(placebo)using a block randomization method under double-blind conditions.Both groups received 15 mL orally three times daily for 28 consecutive days.The primary efficacy indicators included the hemoglobin(Hb)improvement rate(RHb)and the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome improvement rate(RTCM)at week 4 of treatment.The secondary efficacy indicators encompassed Hb and red blood cell(RBC)count,Karnofsky Performance Status(KPS)score,TCM syndrome score,individual TCM symptom scores,and changes in each of these indicators compared to the baseline period at weeks 2,4,and 6 of treatment.Safety evaluations were conducted at week 4 of treatment.Results A total of 239 patients were enrolled,with 225 cases included in the Full Analysis Set(FAS)(109 in the experimental group vs.116 control group),163 in the Per Protocol Set(PPS)(77 vs.86),and 225 in the Safety Set(SS)(109 vs.116).Baseline characteristics between groups showed no significant differences.Significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in RHb at week 4(FAS:49.51%vs.35.24%,P<0.05;PPS:53.25%vs.36.05%,P<0.05)and RTCM at week 4(FAS:61.54%vs.39.62%,P<0.01;PPS:64.94%vs.40.70%,P<0.01).At weeks 2,4,and 6,the experimental group showed greater improvements in Hb and RBC counts than the control group.Additionally,the TCM syndrome scores were lower in the experimental group than in the control group at these time points.Except for week 2 in PPS,the KPS improvement was better in the experimental group than in the control group(P<0.05).The experimental group also demonstrated a greater reduction in scores for individual TCM symptoms such as spiritlessness and weakness,poor appetite and reduced food intake at weeks 4 and 6 compared to the control group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Furthermore,the reduction in vertigo score was more pronounced in the experimental group at week 6(P<0.01).For the score of pale and lusterless complexion,only in the PPS was the reduction from baseline more significant in the experimental group than in the control group at weeks 4 and 6(P<0.05).No significant differences were observed between the experimental and control groups in the incidence of all adverse events or drug-related adverse reactions.Conclusion Shengxuebao Mixture demonstrates significant efficacy in patients with CRA presenting syndrome of deficiency of liver and kidney combined with syndrome of deficiency of both qi and blood,effectively increasing Hb levels,ameliorating TCM syndromes,alleviating clinical symptoms,and enhancing functional status,with no significant difference in adverse drug reactions compared to the placebo.

Purpose To explore the value of machine learning models based on synthetic MRI,dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI(DCE-MRI)and diffusion weighted imaging(DWI)parameters in identifying molecular subtypes of breast cancer.Materials and Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 292 patients who underwent synthetic MRI,DCE-MRI and DWI examinations from September 2020 to September 2024 in Ningxia Medical University General Hospital before surgery and were pathologically confirmed to have breast cancer postoperatively.Patients were randomly divided into training and test sets using a ratio of 7:3.Multiple parameters were obtained from the synthetic MRI,DCE-MRI and DWI images.Variance analysis were used to screen the characteristic parameters among molecular subtype groups.Five machine learning models were established based on the selected characteristic parameters,and receiver operating characteristic curves were plotted to calculate the area under the curve among the molecular subtype groups.Results The support vector machine model exhibited the highest overall performance,with an area under the curve of 0.972,accuracy of 82.5％,specificity of 94.76％and sensitivity of 82.14％in the test set.This model's area under the curve values for differentiating luminal A,luminal B,human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 overexpression,and triple-negative groups in the training set were 0.979,0.925,0.971 and 0.982,respectively;in the test set,the area under the curve values were 0.973,0.873,0.956 and 0.955,respectively.Conclusion Machine learning models based on multimodal MRI parameters can assist clinicians in preoperatively determining the molecular subtypes of breast cancer and the support vector machine model shows relatively high comprehensive performance.
