To evaluate the therapeutic effect of baicalein topical preparation on atopic dermatitis, we first constructed two atopic dermatitis-like mouse models induced by calcipotriol and 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene to assess their therapeutic effect with skin tissue staining and other experiments. It was found that topical preparation of baicalein could alleviate epidermal thickening of diseased skin tissues, repair damaged skin barrier proteins, and inhibit T helper 2 cells (Th2) infiltration and mast cell infiltration and activation in lesional sites. Cyberpharmacology was utilized to analyze whether baicalein could treat atopic dermatitis by interfering with multiple pathogenesis-associated pathways. Results indicated that baicalein reduced the mRNA levels of inflammatory factors and inhibited the phosphorylation of NF-κB p65 and STAT1 proteins in keratinocyte cells. Together, the topical preparation of baicalein may be effective in alleviating atopic dermatitis-like symptoms in mice by down-regulating the phosphorylation level of NF-κB in keratinocytes, thereby decreasing the expression of inflammatory factors in keratinocytes, which provides an idea and a theoretical basis for the topical preparation of baicalein for the treatment of inflammatory skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics of alcohol poisoning cases among minors receiving pre hospital 120 emergency services in Zhengzhou, providing evidence for regional management strategies of alcohol poisoning among minors. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 1 630 alcohol poisoning cases (aged 0-18 years) from Zhengzhou s 120 emergency system during 2017-2019 and 2023. Data on gender, age, occurrence timeframes were analyzed using t-test and χ 2 test for intergroup comparisons. Results: Annual cases were 291 (2017), 353 (2018), 483 (2019), and 503 (2023). Compared with 2017, male alcohol poisoning cases increased by 66.94% while female cases surged 104.35% by 2023. The peak incidence of alcohol poisoning among minors occurred among 16-18 year olds (85.40%), followed by 13-15 year olds (13.74%). Most cases clustered between 21:01-03:00 (60.43%), with male cases peaking at 22:01-23:00 (12.73%) and female cases peaking at 02:01-03:00 ( 11.25 %). Between 00:01-03:00, male cases progressively decreased while female cases increased. Severity distribution showed 355 mild cases (21.78%), 1 035 moderate cases (63.50%), and 240 severe cases (14.72%). Conclusions Zhengzhou region has experienced sustained growth in underage alcohol poisoning cases, predominantly occurring from evening to early morning with moderate severity, female cases demonstrate faster growth rates. Multifaceted regulatory measures should be implemented to strengthen supervision of underage drinking behaviors.

Oroxylin A (OA) is a natural flavonoid primarily derived from the plants Oroxylum indicum and Scutellaria baicalensis. Currently, OA is obtainable through chemical synthesis and exhibits polypharmacological properties, including anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and multi-organ protective effects. The first-in-class drug OA tablets are presently undergoing phase Ib/IIa clinical trials for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. Substantial evidence suggests that OA demonstrates therapeutic potential against various hepatic and gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, including HCC, hepatic fibrosis, fatty liver disease, hepatitis, liver injury, colitis, and colorectal cancer (CRC). OA exerts its therapeutic effects primarily by modulating several crucial signaling pathways, including those associated with apoptosis, oxidative stress, inflammation, glucolipid metabolism, and fibrosis activation. The oral pharmacokinetics of OA is characterized by phase II metabolism, hydrolysis, and enterohepatic recycling. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the critical stages involved in the development of OA tablets, presenting a holistic perspective on the progression of this first-in-class drug from preclinical to clinical phases. It encompasses the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients, pharmacokinetics, pharmacological efficacy, toxicology, drug delivery, and recent advancements in clinical trials. Importantly, this review examines the potential mechanisms by which OA may influence the gut-liver axis, hypothesizing that these interactions may confer health benefits associated with OA that transcend the limitations posed by its poor bioavailability.

Objective To investigate the changes of residual radioactivity at different time points after 131I treatment in the patients with differentiated thyroid cancer(DTC)and influencing factors.Methods A to-tal of 235 patients with DTC receiving 131I treatment in this hospital from January 2021 to June 2023 were se-lected as the study subjects and divided into the high dose group(＞5.55 GBp,n=56)and low dose group(≤5.55 GBp,n=179)according to the treatment dose.The clinical data of the two groups were collected and the changes of residual radioactivity after 131I treatment were compared between the two groups.The binary re-gression was used to analyze its influencing factors.Results The sex,age,BMI,basic metabolic rate(BMR)and serum thyroglobulin antibody(TgAb)had no statistical differences between the two groups(P＞0.05).The proportions of serum thyroglobulin(TG)＜1 ng/mL,131I first time treatment and residual thyroid ratio prompted by the whole body 131I scan after treatment in the low dose group were significantly higher than those in the high dose group(P＜0.05).The residual radioactivity in the two groups was significantly de-creased with time extension.The residual radioactivity at 24,48,72 h after treatment in the low dose group was significantly lower than that in the high dose group(P＜0.05).The binary logistic regression analysis re-sults showed that the T stage and treatment dose were the influencing factors of residual radioactivity after 131I treatment.Conclusion The residual radioactivity after 131I treatment in the patients with DTC shows the significant decreasing trend with time extension,this change trend has an active significance for further opti-mizing and perfecting the isolation and protection scheme.For the patients with high T stage and big treat-ment dose,the isolation time should exceed 72 h.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound imaging parameters combined with ser-um progranulin(PGRN)and programmed cell death ligand 1(PD-L1)for lymph node metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods A total of 135 NSCLC patients admitted to Hengshui Cardiovascu-lar Hospital from February 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the NSCLC group.According to whether lymph node metastasis occurred,the NSCLC patients were divided into the metastasis group(52 cases)and the non-metastasis group(83 cases).Another 135 patients with benign lung diseases who were admitted to the hospi-tal during the same period were selected as the control group.The levels of serum PGRN and PD-L1 were de-tected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was conducted to ana-lyze the factors influencing lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to analyze the diagnostic value of ultrasound imaging parameters[end-diastolic velocity(EDV),peak systolic velocity(PSV),and minimum axial diameter(MAD)]combined with serum levels of PGRN and PD-L1 for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of serum PGRN and PD-L1 in the NSCLC group were significantly increased,and the difference was statistically signifi-cant(P<0.05).Compared with the non-metastasis group,the levels of serum PGRN and PD-L1 in the metas-tasis group were significantly increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Compared with the non-metastasis group,the ultrasound imaging parameters EDV,PSV and MAD in the metastasis group were significantly increased,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that PGRN,PD-L1,EDV,PSV,and MAD were all independ-ent risk factors affecting lymph node metastasis of NSCLC(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of serum PGRN,PD-L1 and ultrasound imaging parameters EDV,PSV and MAD for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of NSCLC separately was 0.805,0.792,0.745,0.738 and 0.737,respectively.The AUC of com-bined diagnosis for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC was 0.938,which was superior to that of single diagnosis(ZPGRN-combination=3.424,ZPD-L1-combination=4.076,ZEDV-combination=3.891,ZPSV-combination=4.755,ZMAD-combination=4.400,P<0.05).Conclusion Ultrasound imaging parameters combined with serum PGRN and PD-L1 have certain diagnostic value for lymph node metastasis of NSCLC.

Objective To analyze the effects of tactile vibration feedback training combined with 1 Hz repetitive tran-scranial magnetic stimulation on limb balance and walking ability of stroke patients with hemiplegia.Methods From August 2021 to August 2023,98 patients with stroke and hemiplegia who were diagnosed and treated in Daxing District People's Hospital were selected and divided into training group and stimulation group according to different treatment schemes with 49 in each.The training group was given tactile vibration feedback training,and the stimula-tion group was given tactile vibration feedback training combined with 1 Hz repetitive trans-cranial magnetic stimula-tion.The clinical symptoms,ability of keeping balance and walk,life situation and curative effect of the two groups were analyzed.Results After 8 weeks of treatment,the scores of mouth and drooling points,language impairment points,and hemiparalysis points in the two groups were all lower than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the above indexes in the stimulation group were even lower than those in the training group(P<0.05).After 8 weeks of treatment,the scores of Lindmark Balance Reaction,Berg Balance scale(BBS),stride length,10-meters maximum walking speed(10 mMWS),Barthel index(BI)and Functional Independence Measure(FIM)in both groups were higher than those before treatment(P<0.05),and the above indexes in the stimulation group were higher than those in the training group(P<0.05).After 8 weeks of treatment,the total effective rate in the stimulation group(91.84％)was higher than that in the training group(69.39％)(P<0.05).Conclusions Tactile vibration feedback training plus 1 Hz repetitive trans-cranial magnetic stimulation can significantly alleviate the clinical symptoms of stroke patients with hemiplegia and can improve their ability of keeping balance,walking and management of daily life.

As essential part of teachers' teaching practice, the design and arrangement of assignments is the main carrier of interaction between teachers and students, and is also an important learning way for students. According to the discipline characteristics and teaching modes of histology and embryology courses, we have developed a systematic assignment design model that covers theory, practice, and application with four types of assignments—pre-class assignments, exploratory assignments, practical assignments, and innovative assignments distributed before class, in class, after class, and throughout the teaching process. Behind this assignment design strategy is the concept of learner-centered teaching, which aims to help students learn professional knowledge and develop comprehensive literacy.

Objective To explore the relevant relationship and specificity between the implicit and explicit loyalty of military cadets in order to provide a theoretical basis and objective indicators for a more comprehensive and objective assessment for individual loyalty.Methods E-Prime 2.0,a classic implicit association paradigm was employed to construct an implicit association loyalty test for 64 military cadets.Simultaneously,an explicit loyalty measurement was conducted using the Chinese Military Personnel Loyalty Scale.Results ① Significant implicit effect was observed in the loyalty assessment of military cadets,indicating a general tendency to perceive higher levels of personal loyalty and lower levels of loyalty to external entities.② Explicit loyalty assessment revealed that the participants had the highest loyalty score towards the Party,the Nation,and the People(4.79±0.34),followed by the loyalty score to their profession(4.38±0.53),and the relatively lower loyalty score towards the unit and leaders(4.03±0.83).Among the 3 dimensions of loyalty,the normative loyalty score ranked highest,while continuance loyalty score took lower.③ There were no correlations among the scores of loyalty to the Party,the Nation,and the People(r=-0.030,P=0.823),to the profession(r=-0.047,P=0.728),to the unit(r=0.050,P=0.710),or to the leaders(r=0.043,P=0.749).Conclusion The implicit effect in the loyalty assessment is significant in military cadets,and there is no significant correlation between explicit and implicit loyalty measurements.Thus,we cannot rely solely on explicit measurements to assess their loyalty attitudes.

Animal experiment is a key link in the scientific research of traditional Chinese medicine,and the syndrome animal model is an important research object in the animal experiment of traditional Chinese medicine.Good reproducibility,repeatability,specificity,safety,convenience and economy are the basic requirements of animal model.In recent years,with the continuous development of animal experimental studies on lung diseases,the animal model construction and evaluation methods of related syndromes have been improved to a certain extent.However,in terms of model evaluation,problems such as more subjective descriptions,less accurate quantification,more macro representations,less microscopic evidence,more disease-related indicators,less syndrome-related indicators,and lack of primary and secondary stratification of indicators continue to be prominent.Therefore,based on the literature review method,the author systematically reviewed the current research progress of lung disease syndrome models,and proposed that strengthening the research on the four-diagnosis manifestations and reaction characteristics of model animals,standardization of modeling interventions,four-diagnosis information collection tool and the objective evaluation study,and the TCM syndrome model evaluation scale study might be feasible approaches for future model optimization.In order to provide new ideas and methods for the study of the syndrome model of lung disease in the future.

The aging disease associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)is a hot research topic in the field of diabetes at present.Sarcopenia has become the third major complication of T2DM after microvascular and macrovascular diseases,which could lead to the occurrence and development of various adverse events such as fracture,disability,and dysfunction.The spleen belongs to the earth,is in the middle jiao,governs transportation and transformation,and governs muscle.The functional activities of the spleen manifesting in normal transformation and transportation,the distribution of cereal essence,and the nourishment of muscles are necessary for normal physiological functions to be exerted.Recent studies have shown that skeletal muscle cell ferroptosis plays an important role in the pathogenesis of T2DM sarcopenia.Based on the theory of"spleen governing transportation and transportation and governing muscle",this study explores the pathogenesis of T2DM sarcopenia from the perspectives of the pathogenesis of"dysfunction of spleen in transportation,deficiency of cereal essence,obstruction of dampness and turbidity,and muscle dystrophy"in traditional Chinese medicine and the pathological mechanism of"skeletal muscle cell ferroptosis"in modern medicine.It summarizes the principles of traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment for T2DM sarcopenia based on the spleen,to provide theoretical support for enriching the theoretical connotation of spleen visceral state,as well as basic research and clinical trials on the prevention and treatment of T2DM sarcopenia with traditional Chinese medicine.
