As people’s attention to health continues to increase, the market demand for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is growing steadily. The quality and safety of Chinese medicinal materials have attracted unprecedented social attention. In particular, the issue of exogenous harmful residue pollution in TCM has become a hot topic of concern for both regulatory authorities and society. The Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition further refines the detection methods and limit standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM. This not only reflects China’s high-level emphasis on the quality and safety of TCM but also demonstrates the continuous progress made by China in the field of TCM safety supervision. Basis on this study, by systematically reviewing the development history of the detection standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM and analyzing the revisions and updates of these detection standards in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition, deeply explores the key points of the changes in the monitoring standards for exogenous harmful residues in TCM in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2025 Edition. Moreover, it interprets the future development directions of the detection of exogenous residues in TCM, aiming to provide a reference for the formulation of TCM safety supervision policies.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)is a malignant lesion originating from the oral mucosal squamous epithelium,account-ing for over 80％of oral and maxillofacial malignancies.Key etiological factors include tobacco,alcohol abuse,and betel quid chewing.In China,its incidence has shown an overall upward trend,posing a significant threat to public health.OSCC exhibits high local invasive-ness,making early diagnosis critical for improving prognosis.Its clinical management requires close multidisciplinary collaboration among oral and maxillofacial surgery,head and neck surgery,radiation oncology,medical oncology,reconstructive surgery,radiology,patholo-gy,and nutritional support teams.Given the increasing disease burden of OSCC and rapid development of multidisciplinary collaborative models,an expert panel has formulated this integrated management consensus based on evidence-based medicine and extensive deliber-ation.Centered on the'Prevention-Screening-Diagnosis-Treatment-Rehabilitation'framework,the consensus provides comprehensive guidance for the entire disease course of OSCC patients,aiming to standardize clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the association between social jetlag and depressive symptoms among college students, as well as its potential influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted through an online questionnaire platform (Wenjuanxing) from March to April 2023, collecting data on social jetlag, depressive symptoms, and other factors from students at Shantou University. Social jetlag time was defined as the absolute difference between the midpoint of sleep time on weekends and weekdays, with a cutoff at the 75th percentile. The presence of social jetlag was defined as social jetlag time≥1 hour. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), with a score of≥10 indicating the presence of depressive symptoms. Participants were divided into depressive symptom group (BDI≥10) and non-depressive symptom group (BDI<10). Linear regression and logistic regression models were used to analyze the relationship between social jetlag and depressive symptoms, with interaction terms and subgroup analyses to explore potential influencing factors.Results:A total of 1 323 college students were included. The social jetlag time (median 0.71 hour vs. 0.50 hour, Z=-3.36, P<0.001) and prevalence of social jetlag (37.64% vs. 30.57%, χ2=7.03, P=0.008) were both higher in the depressive symptom group than in the non-depressive symptom group. The linear regression model showed that each additional hour of social jetlag was associated with an increase of 0.67 points in BDI score (95% CI=0.16-1.18, β=0.06, P=0.010), after adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, being a medical student, smoking, drinking, caffeine intake, physical exercise, anxiety symptoms, insomnia symptoms, and sleep duration. The logistic regression model indicated that social jetlag was a risk factor for depressive symptoms (O R=1.34, 95% CI=1.02-1.76, P=0.036), which was moderated by physical exercise (interaction P=0.033). Among participants without physical exercise, social jetlag was associated with depressive symptoms ( OR=1.71, 95% CI=1.18-2.48, P=0.005), while no such association was found among those with physical exercise ( OR=0.97, 95% CI=0.64-1.47, P=0.892). Conclusion:Social jetlag may be associated with depressive symptoms in college students. This adverse relationship may be improved by enhancing physical exercise.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) are multifunctional growth factors of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily. They regulate steroid secretion from mammalian granulosa cells, promote granulosa cell survival and proliferation, and inhibit follicular atresia, luteinization, and granulosa cell apoptosis, thereby promoting the development and maturation of mammalian follicles. At the same time, BMPs play an important role in embryonic morphogenesis, induction of uterine receptivity, and blastocyst attachment. This paper describes the effects of BMPs on mammalian follicular and embryonic development and the roles of BMPs in female reproduction, focusing on the process in which BMPs promote follicular maturation by regulating steroid secretion from granulosa cells during mammalian oocyte maturation. This review aims to provide a reference for further research on mammalian oocyte culture and improvement of reproductive efficiency in female animals.

Objective:To evaluate the short-and medium-term therapeutic efficacy of shockwave balloon therapy for TASCⅡ C/D femoropopliteal artery atherosclerosis obliteration.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 25 patients who received shockwave balloon therapy in five vascular centers from August 2022 to June 2023. All patients were diagnosed with TASC Ⅱ C/D femoropopliteal arteriosclerosis obliterans (13 cases of type C and 12 cases of type D), and underwent intravascular shock wave lithotripsy (IVL) to treat calcified lesions. The immediate effectiveness (residual stenosis<30% and no flow-limiting dissection), safety (whether there were adverse vascular events during the operation) and the rate of salvage stent implantation were recorded. The observation indexes of patients before operation, early postoperative period (immediately after operation or before discharge) and postoperative follow-up period (3, 6, 12 months after operation) were collected. The observation indexes included ankle-brachial index (ABI), Rutherford classification, and minimum lumen diameter (MLD). Repeated measures ANOVA was used to evaluate the changes of observation indexes in the early postoperative and follow-up stages compared with those before operation; Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was used to evaluate the one-stage patency rate at follow-up and the target lesion revascularization rate free from clinical drive.Results:The immediate effectiveness of surgery was 100% in all patients, with no vascular related adverse events occurred, and no remedial stent implantation was performed. The ABI, Rutherford grade and MLD of the patients in the early postoperative period and each follow-up stage were improved compared with those before operation, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the primary patency rate at 12 months after surgery was 0.78 (95% CI 0.64-0.84), and the revascularization rate of target lesions free from clinical drive was 0.87 (95% CI 0.85-0.95). Conclusion:Shockwave balloon therapy for complex calcified femoropopliteal artery lesions is safe and reliable, with satisfactory short-and medium-term efficacy.

Hantavirus infection primarily causes hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), leading to renal failure and systemic hemorrhage, while central nervous system (CNS) involvement is rare. In this case, a kidney transplant recipient was admitted due to memory loss and cognitive impairment without obvious precipitating factors. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) identified Hantavirus as the causative agent of CNS infection and its related complications. The patient achieved favorable outcomes through a combination of treatments, including ribavirin-based antiviral therapy, adjustment of immunosuppressive drug dosages, and immunomodulatory therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG).

Recipients of organ transplants are prone to infection due to immunosuppressive agents. Compared to respiratory, urinary, and digestive system infection, central nervous system (CNS) infections exhibit lower incidence rates but carry poorer prognoses. Current epidemiological data remain limited, predominantly derived from case reports and single-center studies, with a notable absence of reliable diagnostic and therapeutic guidelines. This article comprehensively reviews domestic and international research and case reports on post-transplant CNS infection. From an etiological perspective, it elucidates the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of viral, bacterial, and fungal CNS infections, while summarizing diagnostic approaches and treatment strategies. The findings aim to provide clinical references for the management of central nervous system infection following organ transplantation.
