Sangjuyin， as a pungent and cooling agent with precise therapeutic effect， is a classic pungent formula for cooling relief of the epidermis， which is highly respected by medical practitioners. This formula is from the Wenbing Tiaobian written by WU Jutong in the Qing dynasty， on the basis of which subsequent medical practitioners have made additions and subtractions to apply it. The authors used the bibliometric method to systematically organize the medical books from the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China and modern literature to analyze the composition， concoction， decoction， efficacy， and previous and modern application of Sangjuyin. After examination， the drug base of this formula is basically clear. Armeniacae Semen Amarum is the dried mature seeds of Armeniaca vulgaris， family Rosaceae. Forsythiae Fructus is the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa， family Mulleinaceae. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba is the dried above-ground part of Mentha haplocalyx， family Labiatae. Mori Folium is the dried leaves of Morus alba， family Moraceae. Chrysanthemi Flos is the dried head of Chrysanthemum morifolium， family Asteraceae. Platycodonis Radix is the dried root of Eryngium grandiflorum， family Eryngium. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of the Leguminosae family， and Phragmitis Rhizoma is the fresh or dried rhizome of Phragmites communis of the Gramineae family. It is recommended that the eight drugs be used in raw form as medicine. The dosage and method of decoction were converted into a modern single dosage of 7.46 g Armeniacae Semen Amarum， 5.60 g Forsythiae Fructus， 2.98 g Menthae Haplocalycis Herba， 9.33 g Mori Folium， 3.73 g Chrysanthemi Flos， 7.46 g Platycodonis Radix， 2.98 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 11.19 g Phragmitis Rhizoma， with 400 mL water added， and the solution was boiled to obtain 200 mL， taken twice a day. Sangjuyin has the efficacy of dispersing wind and clearing heat， promoting lung and relieving cough， and it is used for treating the initial onset of wind-warmth and the evidence of evil spirits in the lungs and collaterals. Modern research has shown that Sangjuyin is often used in the treatment of cough， pneumonia， rhinitis， and other respiratory diseases， and the results of this study provide a reference for the later development of Sangjuyin.

BackgroundPatients with depressive episode and schizophrenia have a high risk of suicide. The sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density characteristics of patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior and those with schizophrenia may be different， but there is currently a lack of direct comparative studies on these two groups of patients. ObjectiveTo compare the sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density between depressive episode and schizophrenic patients with suicidal behavior， in order to provide references for exploring predictive indicators of suicidal behavior. MethodsFrom June 2018 to December 2020， 20 patients with depressive episode and 20 patients with schizophrenia who had committed suicide within the past month and were treated at the outpatient department of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital were selected. All of them met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episode or schizophrenia as defined in the International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10）. Using a random sampling method， 20 volunteers with matching gender and age to the patient groups were selected from the Cuiping community in Shenzhen as the control group. The subjective sleep of the patients was evaluated using the Insomnia Severity Index （ISI）， the Dysfunctional Belief and Attitude about Sleep （DBAS）， the Disturbing Dreams and Nightmare Severity Index （DDNSI）， and the Epworth Somnolence Scale （ESS）. The objective sleep of the patients was assessed using polysomnography. The sleep electroencephalogram was filtered and the power spectral density of the brain wave was analyzed and processed for all the subjects. The subjective and objective sleep conditions of the two patient groups were compared， and the sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density of the patient groups and the control group were also compared. ResultsA comparison of subjective and objective sleep conditions between patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior and patients with schizophrenia accompanied by suicidal behavior showed no statistically significant differences （P>0.05）. Comparisons of sleep electroencephalogram power spectral density in the W stage （average power of α wave， total power of δ wave， average power of δ wave， average power of θ wave）， N1 stage （average power of β wave， total power of α wave， total power of δ wave）， N2 stage （total power of α wave， average power of α wave， total power of δ wave， average power of δ wave）， N3 stage （average power of α wave， average power of δ wave）， and R stage （total power of α wave， average power of α wave， total power of δ wave， average power of δ wave） between patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior， patients with schizophrenia accompanied by suicidal behavior， and the control group showed statistically significant differences （P<0.05 or 0.01）. The total power of δ wave in the W stage and the average power of β wave and δ wave in the N1 stage were higher in two patient groups were higher than those of the control group. The total power of α wave and the average power of α wave in the N2 stage were lower than those of the control group， while the average power of δ wave was higher than that of the control group. The average power of α wave in the N3 stage of both patient groups were lower than that of the control group， while the average power of δ wave was higher than that of the control group. The total power and average power of α wave in the R stage were lower than those of the control group， while the total power and average power of δ wave were higher than those of the control group. All the differences were statistically significant. Patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior had higher average powers of α wave， δ wave， and θ wave in the W stage compared with the control group， while the total power of α wave in the N1 stage was lower in the former group. All these differences were statistically significant （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe depressive episode patients accompanied by suicidal behavior have highly overlapping sleep electroencephalogram abnormal patterns with those of schizophrenia patients， mainly manifested as a general decrease in α wave power （N2， N3， R stage） and a general increase in δ wave power （W， N1， N2， N3， R stage） as well as β wave power in N1 stage. At the same time， patients with depressive episode accompanied by suicidal behavior also show specific changes， including an increase in the average power of α and θ waves during the wakefulness period （W stage）， and a decrease in the total power of α wave in N1 stage. ［Funded by Guangdong Province High-level Clinical Key Specialty （with supporting funds from Shenzhen City） （number， SZGSP013）； Shenzhen Key Medical Discipline （number， SZXK041）； Shenzhen Clinical Medicine Research Center Project （number， 20210617155253001）］

Yttrium-90 microsphere selective internal radiation therapy (SIRT), also known as transarterial radioembolization, has become one of the pivotal treatments for liver cancer, particularly for selected advantageous patient groups. This review summarizes the characteristics of different patients with liver cancer that could obtain maximum benefit from SIRT and discusses key factors affecting efficacy and safety, including tumor characteristics, liver function, patient performance status, and treatment intent. In evaluating appropriate candidates, mapping serves as a crucial simulation procedure to assess tumor vascular anatomy, predict lung shunting, and guide catheter positioning and dose planning. This procedure substantially enhances therapeutic precision while minimizing the risk of nontarget radiation-related adverse events, such as radiation-induced pneumonitis and gastrointestinal toxicity. Several studies have suggested that SIRT is not only suitable for patients with early or limited hepatocellular carcinoma but can also be used as a bridging therapy for liver transplantation and conversion therapy for unresectable liver cancers. In combination with systemic treatments, SIRT has demonstrated survival benefits in patients with unresectable liver cancer. This review also highlights the importance of further optimizing patient screening through personalized dosimetry and mapping to ensure the precision and safety of treatment. A thorough review of relevant literature and clinical practice offers clinicians comprehensive suggestions on patient screening and clarifies the promise of SIRT in the liver cancer population.

The self-remodeling of scleral extracellular matrix(ECM)is a significant characteristic alterationin the development of myopia, and it also influences the progression of myopia. The mechanisms of scleral remodeling are intricate, with transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)and its associated signaling pathways playing a pivotal role. This review systematically summarizes the major metabolic changes in scleral ECM, the molecular mechanisms of the TGF-β signaling pathway, and its regulatory effects on scleral remodeling during myopic development, aiming to provide new insights and potential strategies for the treatment and prevention of myopia.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism underlying the effects of three formulas of the method of warming Yang and relieving depression on anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in the mice subjected to a two-hit paradigm of maternal separation （MS） combined with restraint stress （RS）. MethodsNeonatal mice were randomly assigned into the following groups： Blank control， MS alone， model （MS+RS）， warming Yang （WY，5.85 g·kg^-1）， relieving depression （RD，12.03 g·kg^-1）， warming Yang and relieving depression （WYRD，16.71 g·kg^-1）， and fluoxetine groups （2.6 mg·kg^-1）. MS was conducted on postnatal day 5 （PD5）. Weaning and preventive drug administration were carried out on PD21， and restraint stress was applied on PD90. Anxiety- and depression-like behaviors were assessed using the open field test （OFT）， the elevated zero maze test and tail suspension test （TST）. High-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection （HPLC-ECD） was employed to measure the levels of neurotransmitters， including 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） and dopamine （DA）， in the hippocampus. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression levels of 5-HT_1A receptor （5-HT_1AR）， serotonin transporter （SERT）， monoamine oxidase A （MAOA）， glucocorticoid receptor （GR）， adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH）， corticotropin-releasing hormone （CRH）， brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF）， and tyrosine kinase receptor B （TrkB）. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was applied to assess the protein expression levels of 5-HT_1AR， 5-HT_2A receptor （5-HT_2AR）， 5-HT_2C receptor （5-HT_2CR）， GR， and CRH receptor 1 （CRHR1）. The protein expression levels of BDNF and TrkB in the hippocampus were measured using the fully automated protein expression analysis system （Simple Wes）. ResultsIn the behavioral tests， compared with the blank control group， the model group exhibited significant increases in locomotor distance and central area crossings （P<0.05， P<0.01）in OFT， as well as a significant increase in immobility time in the TST （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the RD， WYRD， and fluoxetine groups all showed significantly reduced central area crossings （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Regarding neurotransmitter levels， compared with the blank control group， the model group had significantly decreased hippocampal epinephrine （E） and dopamine （DA） content （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the MS group， the model group showed significant decreases in hippocampal norepinephrine （NE）， E， and 5-HT content （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the WY group decreased hippocampal NE， DA， and 5-HT content （P<0.01）， while the RD， WYRD， and fluoxetine groups exhibited significantly increased hippocampal E content （P<0.01）. At the molecular level， compared with the blank control and MS groups， the model group showed significant increases in mRNA levels of 5-HT_1AR， SERT， MAOA， ACTH， and CRH （P<0.01）， and significant decreases in mRNA levels of tryptophan hydroxylase （TPH）， GR， BDNF， and TrkB （P<0.01）. Protein expression of 5-HT_1AR， 5-HT_2AR， and 5-HT_2CR was also significantly elevated （P<0.05， P<0.01） in the model group. Compared with the model group， the RD group showed significant decreases in SERT， MAOA， and CRH mRNA （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significant increases in TPH， BDNF， and TrkB mRNA （P<0.01）， significantly reduced protein expression of 5-HT_1AR， 5-HT_2AR， and 5-HT_2CR （P<0.05）， and significantly increased GR protein expression. The WY group showed a significant increase in ACTH mRNA expression （P<0.01）. The fluoxetine group exhibited significant decreases in MAOA and CRH mRNA （P<0.05， P<0.01）， significant increases in TPH， BDNF， and TrkB mRNA （P<0.01）， significantly reduced 5-HT_2AR protein expression （P<0.01）， and significantly increased GR protein expression（P<0.05）. ConclusionThe method of warming Yang and relieving depression can ameliorate anxiety- and depression-like behaviors in two-hit mice. Its mechanism may be associated with the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway， as well as the HPA axis and serotonergic system.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of the Wenyang Jieyu prescription in regulating depression-like behavior in mice after maternal-infant separation combined with secondary stress. MethodsAfter birth， the rats were randomly divided into blank （NC） group， maternal-infant separation （MS） group， restraint stress （RS） group， maternal-infant separation combined with restraint stress （MRS） group， Wenyang group， Jieyu group， Wenyang Jieyu （XSF） group， and minocycline group. Maternal-infant separation was performed on day 5 （PD5）， followed by weaning at PD21 and prophylactic administration. The dose of Wenyang group， Xiaoyao group， XSF group and minocycline group were 5.85， 12.03， 16.71 g·kg^-1 and 50 mg·kg^-1， respectively. Restraint stress was applied on PD90. The model was evaluated using glucose， social interaction， open field， and O-maze behavior tests， as well as high-performance liquid chromatography to measure serotonin， dopamine， and other neurotransmitters. The expression level of ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 （Iba-1） protein， a marker of hippocampal microglia， was detected by immunohistochemistry. Protein expression levels of Janus kinase 2 （JAK2） and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） in the hippocampus were analyzed by an automatic protein expression analysis system. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression levels of M1 markers， JAK2/STAT3 pathway-related genes， and cytokines in hippocampal microglia in each group. ResultsCompared with the NC group， the MRS group exhibited depression-like behavior， with significantly decreased levels of neurotransmitters in the hippocampus （P<0.05， P<0.01）， increased expression of Iba-1 （P<0.01）， and elevated protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3 （P<0.05）. The mRNA expression levels of CD68， CD11b， IL-1β， JAK2， and STAT3 were significantly increased （P<0.01）， while IL-10 mRNA expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the MRS group， the XSF and minocycline groups showed some improvement in depression-like behavior. In these groups， the hippocampal neurotransmitter content was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and Iba-1 expression was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. The protein levels of JAK2 and STAT3 in the XSF group showed a downward trend. The mRNA expression levels of CD68， CD11b， JAK2， STAT3， and IL-1β in the hippocampus were significantly decreased in the XSF and minocycline groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while IL-10 mRNA expression was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionWenyang Jieyu prescription can regulate depression-like behavior in maternal-infant separation mice combined with secondary stress by inhibiting the polarization of hippocampal microglia to the M1 phenotype. The regulation of hippocampal microglia polarization by Wenyang Jieyu prescription may be associated with the JAK2/STAT3 pathway.

Objective:To compare the efficacy of intranasal nebulized remimazolam versus esketamine for preoperative sedation in pediatric patients.Methods:In this randomized double-blind controlled trial, 90 pediatric patients scheduled for elective surgery with general anesthesia at Fuyang People′s Hospital between October 2024 and January 2025, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) using a simple randomization: remimazolam group (group R), esketamine group (group S) and normal saline group (group C). Group R received intranasal nebulization of remimazolam 1.5 mg/kg, group S received intranasal nebulization of esketamine 1 mg/kg, and group C received intranasal nebulization of normal saline 0.05 ml/kg. Primary outcome: The preoperative anxiety was assessed using the modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale before intranasal drug administration (baseline), at 10 and 20 min after administration, and before anesthesia induction. Secondary outcomes included sedation level (Ramsay Sedation Scale score), satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance, parental separation anxiety and mask acceptance, development of emergence agitation, emergence time, time of recovery from anesthesia, and nausea and vomiting and increased secretions. Results:Compared to group C, the incidence of anxiety was significantly decreased at 10 and 20 min after intranasal nebulization and before anesthesia induction, the level of sedation was deepened (to light sedation), and the satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance was decreased in group R ( P<0.017), the incidence of anxiety was significantly decreased before anesthesia induction, the level of sedation was deepened (to deep sedation), and the satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance was increased in group S ( P<0.017), and the satisfaction with parental separation anxiety and mask acceptance and anesthesiologists′ satisfaction were significantly increased in R and S groups( P<0.017). Compared to group R, the incidence of anxiety was significantly increased at 10 min after intranasal nebulization (7 cases [23%] versus 20 cases [67%]), the level of sedation was lighter at 10 min after intranasal nebulization, the level of sedation was deeper, and the satisfaction with intranasal administration acceptance was increased in group S ( P<0.017). Compared to groups C and R, the emergence time and time of recovery from anesthesia were significantly prolonged in group S ( P<0.017). There was no significant difference in the incidence of emergence agitation, nausea and vomiting and increased secretions or in parental satisfaction among three groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Both intranasal nebulized remimazolam and esketamine can produce good preoperative sedation in pediatric patients. Compared to esketamine, remimazolam provides a more appropriate level of sedation with a faster onset and does not prolong the recovery from anesthesia, making it more suitable for preoperative sedation in minor procedures.

Photodynamic therapy(PDT)is a precise targeted therapy that selectively treats certain benign diseases and malignant tumors by combining therapeutic light sources,photosensitizers,and oxygen molecules.The wavelength range of the light source,as a key factor in inducing PDT,has a decisive impact on the triggering and therapeutic effect of the treatment.However,there is a lack of relevant reviews on the selection of light sources for photodynamic therapy.This article reviews the PDT-related applications of commonly used light sources with different wavelength ranges of excitation,such as visible light,near-infrared,and X-ray,including the excitation characteristics of this band of light,as well as the multi-therapy combination and multi-range breakthroughs of PDT cancer treatment under the excitation of this band of light.The aim is to provide feasible directions for the development of photodynamic therapy bands and subsequent applications.
