ObjectiveTo explore the changes in color， odor and chemical components during wine-processing of Chuanxiong Rhizoma（CR）， identify differential markers， and provide a basis for standardizing the process and establishing quality standards. MethodsFifteen batches of CR samples from 4 producing areas were collected. Colorimeter and electronic nose were used to detect the color changes and odor components of CR before and after wine-processing. Multivariate statistical methods including partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA）， principal component analysis（PCA）， discriminant factor analysis（DFA） and Fisher discriminant analysis were applied to identify wine-processed CR at different processing stages and establish discriminant models， and differential components were screened out based on variable importance in the projection（VIP） value1. Then， high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） was employed to detect the content changes of four components（ferulic acid， senkyunolide I， senkyunolide A and ligustilide） during the processing stages. ResultsThe differences of wine-processed CR at various stages were primarily reflected in color parameters L^*（brightness value）， a^*（red-green value） and b^*（yellow-blue value）. Based on chromaticity differences， the color reference ranges were established for moderately processed CR， including L^* of 46.75-48.24， a^* of 5.37-6.07 and b^* of 20.32-21.70. In odor analysis， DFA revealed significant differences among processing stages， and 11 odor markers were identified， with four differential markers（4-hydroxy-3-butylphthalide， isopropyl butyrate， L-limonene and 1-methoxyhexane） based on VIP values. HPLC results showed that there was no significant difference of the four components except for ligustilide in wine-processed CR at different stages. ConclusionThis study achieved rapid identification of wine-processed CR with different processing degrees by electronic sensory technology and differential component content detection， with discrimination accuracy rates of 92.4% and 93.272% for color and odor， respectively. This paper also established the reference ranges of main colorimetric parameters for wine-processed CR at different stages， and four differential components were screened out， providing a basis for standardizing the processing of wine-processed CR and establishing quality standards for this decoction pieces.

Objective: : Baculovirus inhibitory of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 (BIRC5) is critically implicated in various types of tumors. However, the specific mechanisms by which it operates in glioma are yet to be fully understood. Methods: : The data sourced from The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus were merged and analyzed using the R software to investigate the relationship between BIRC5 expression and prognosis and diagnosis outcomes. This exploration was conducted utilizing various biological information repositories. The correlation between BIRC5 and immunity was obtained based on TIMER and TISIDB databases. Results: : Gliomas displayed a markedly elevated level of BIRC5 expression compared to adjacent tissues. Patients with glioma who exhibit elevated levels of BIRC5 experience poorer prognoses and shorter survival times. Subgroup classification further revealed that heightened expression of BIRC5 led to diminished overall survival. Analysis of logistic regression and COX indicated that expression of BIRC5 serves as a risk factor in glioma development. Functional enrichment pathways showed that the 72 hub genes related to BIRC5 were mainly closely related to nuclear division, spindle, tubulin binding, and cell cycle in glioma patients. BBIRC5 methylation suggested that BIRC5 might influence the immune response regulation and the tumor microenvironment within gliomas. BIRC5 is associated with many chemicals. Additionally, studies conducted using cell experiments and pathological sections have consistently shown that BIRC5 expression is higher in tumor cells compared to normal cells and tissues. Conclusion : BIRC5 holds promise as a valuable tool in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of gliomas.

Objective: To investigate the changing trends for associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for preventing smartphone addiction in middle school students. Methods: From 2022 to 2023, a method of combining convenient sampling with cluster sampling was used to select 8 923 middle school students from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen City between September 2022 (baseline, T1) and September 2023 (follow up, T2). The Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), Patients Health Questionnaire-9 Item (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7) were administered to assess smartphone addiction, anxiety and depressive symptoms. Mixed effects models were used to analyze the association of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students. Results: From September 2022 to September 2023, the reported prevalence of smartphone addiction increased from 24.22% to 25.25% ( χ 2=45.71); and smartphone addiction scores [ 24.00 (16.00, 32.00),25.00(16.00, 33.00)], anxiety symptom scores [2.00(0.00, 7.00),3.00(0.00, 7.00)] and depressive symptom scores[3.00(0.00, 8.00),5.00(0.00, 9.00)] all significantly increased ( Z =-17.43, -42.38, -41.57) (all P <0.05). There were statistically significant difference in the distribution of anxiety and depression symptom levels among middle school students in 2022 and 2023 ( χ 2=85.15, 106.85, both P <0.05). After adjusting for covariates such as age, gender and family background, mixed effects models revealed dose response associations of anxiety and depressive symptoms with smartphone addiction among middle school students:mild anxiety symptom( OR =3.22), moderate to severe anxiety symptom ( OR =5.36), mild depressive symptom ( OR =3.32) and moderate to severe depressive symptom ( OR =6.13) were significantly associated with higher risks of smartphone addiction (all P <0.05). Interaction effect analysis found that co existing anxiety and depressive symptoms synergistically increased addiction risk by 5.60 times ( OR =5.60) compared to the asymptomatic group, with 32% of the combined risk attributable to their interaction ( S=1.64, AP =0.32)(both P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Anxiety and depressive symptoms are significantly associated with smartphone addiction, exhibiting a synergistic effect. Attention should be paid to emotional issues and smartphone addiction among middle school students.

Azvudine and nirmatrelvir/ritonavir (Paxlovid) are recommended for COVID-19 treatment in China, but their safety and efficacy in the elderly population are not fully known. In this multicenter, retrospective, cohort study, we identified 5131 elderly hospitalized COVID-19 patients from 32,864 COVID-19 patients admitted to nine hospitals in Henan Province, China, from December 5, 2022, to January 31, 2023. The primary outcome was all-cause death, and the secondary outcome was composite disease progression. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to control for confounding factors, including demographics, vaccination status, comorbidities, and laboratory tests. After 2:1 PSM, 1786 elderly patients receiving azvudine and 893 elderly patients receiving Paxlovid were included. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses revealed that compared with Paxlovid group, azvudine could significantly reduce the risk of all-cause death (log-rank P = 0.002; HR: 0.71, 95% CI: 0.573-0.883, P = 0.002), but there was no difference in composite disease progression (log-rank P = 0.52; HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.877-1.260, P = 0.588). Four sensitivity analyses verified the robustness of above results. Subgroup analysis suggested that a greater benefit of azvudine over Paxlovid was observed in elderly patients with primary malignant tumors (P for interaction = 0.005, HR: 0.32, 95% CI: 0.18-0.57) compared to patients without primary malignant tumors. Safety analysis revealed that azvudine treatment had a lower incidence of adverse events and higher lymphocyte levels than Paxlovid treatment. In conclusion, azvudine treatment is not inferior to Paxlovid treatment in terms of all-cause death, composite disease progression and adverse events in elderly hospitalized COVID-19 patients.

Objective To explore the effect of collateral status on prognosis in elderly patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion(AIS-LVO)after Solitaire stent retriever in combination with the intracranial support catheter aspiration for mechanical thrombectomy(SWIM),and construct a prediction model for prognosis.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 240 elderly AIS-LVO patients who underwent SWIM technique in our hospital be-tween February 2019 and February 2024.According to gender,age,occlusion sites and TOAST classifications,they were divided into a modeling group(180 cases)and a verification group(60 cases)in a ratio of 3∶1.Based on the results of modified Rankin scale(mRS)at 3 months after surgery,the patients in the modeling group were further divided into good prognosis subgroup(mRS score:0-2,97 cases)and poor prognosis subgroup(mRS score:3-6,83 cases).Multivari-ate logistic regression analysis was applied to evaluate the relationship between preoperative col-lateral circulation status and prognosis and to identify the influencing factors for prognosis.Then a prediction model for prognosis was constructed,and its performance was evaluated by ROC curve analysis.Results In the modeling group at 3 months of follow-up,the poor prognosis subgroup had significantly larger proportions of posterior circulation occlusion,cardiogenic embolism,ASITN/SIR grades 3-4 and hemorrhage transformation,higher NIHSS score at admission and longer interval from onset to vascular recanalization,while lower ASPECTS score at admission when compared with the good prognosis subgroup(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that occlusion site,TOAST classification,NIHSS score at admission,interval from onset to vascular recanalization and hemorrhage transformation were independent risk fac-tors for poor prognosis,while ASPECTS score at admission and collateral circulation were protec-tive factors of good prognosis in the elderly AIS-LVO patients after SWIM technique(P＜0.01).Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed that the regression equation obtained goodness of fit in the mod-eling group(P=0.435).ROC curve analysis revealed that the AUC,sensitivity and specificity of then constructed prediction model for poor prognosis was 0.855[95％CI(0.797-0.913)],81.93％and 79.38％,respectively.The model was further verified in the data of the verification group(34 cases in good prognosis and 26 cases with poor prognosis),the AUC value,sensitivity and speci-ficity was 0.839[95％CI(0.732-0.947)],84.62％and 79.41％,respectively.Conclusion Our pre-diction model constructed based on screened risk factors for poor prognosis has good validity in patients with AIS-LVO after SWIM technique,which can identify the patients at high risk for poor prognosis.

AIM:To study the protective effect of transient receptor potential vanilic acid subtype 1(TRPV1)agonist capsaicin(CAP)on traumatic blood loss shock rats,and to further explore its possible mechanism by network pharmacology.METHODS:Forty-five SD rats were divided into 5 groups by random number table method:normal group,shock group,lactated Ringer's solution(LR)group,CAP pretreatment(single administration before shock)group,CAP pre-final administration(twice administration before and after shock)group,with 9 rats in each group for survival observation.Then 32 SD rats were divided into 4 groups according to the results of survival experiment:normal group,shock group,LR group,CAP pre-final administration group,with 8 rats in each group for blood pressure,hemodynamics,arterial blood gas,vascular reactivi-ty and hepaticand renal blood flow.At the same time,the potential mechanism of CAP in the treat-ment of traumatic hemorrhagic shock was investi-gated by network pharmacology.Furthermore,ap-ply the dataset to validate and analyse the diagnos-tic value of the hub genes.RESULTS:Rats in shock group died within hours of the completion of the shock model,and the mean survival time was 1.25(0.42,6.21)h.LR resuscitation could improve the survival of rats to some extent.The survival rate and survival time of rats in the CAP pretreatment group were slightly increased as compared with the LR group,while twice administration of CAP be-fore and after shock(CAP pre-final administration)resulted in better outcomes than LR resuscitation alone.Further results indicated that CAP pre-final administration significantly reduced the blood lac-tic acid level,improved the vasoconstrictive and di-astolic reactivity,and increased the liver and kidney blood flow of shock rats as compared with LR group.The improvement of hemodynamics and blood gas indexes in CAP group was slightly higher than LR group,but there was no statistical signifi-cance.A total of 37 genes related to CAP anti-trau-matic hemorrhage shock were obtained by net-work pharmacology.KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the Ca ion signaling pathway and Ras signaling pathway were significantly enriched.Vali-dation of the dataset showed that the expression levels of CXCR4,NF-kB1,GFPA and NTF3 hub gene were significantly different in the normal and shock groups,and that CXCR4 has a high diagnostic value for traumatic haemorrhagic shock.CONCLUSIONS:CAP,the TRPV1 agonist,significantly improved vas-cular function,increased organ blood flow,and cor-rected the lactic acidosis in rats with traumatic hemorrhagic shock,thus markedly improved the survival outcomes.The mechanism may be related to Ca ion signal pathway and Ras signal pathway.CXCR4,NF-kB1,GFPA and NTF3 may be having an important role in it.
