Depression is a high-incidence mental disorder with complex causes and multifaceted pathogenic mechanisms. Its pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated， which has hindered the development of novel and highly effective antidepressant drugs. This condition severely affects human physical and mental health while imposing a significant socio-economic burden. At present， several hypotheses exist regarding the pathogenesis of depression， including monoamine neurotransmitter imbalances， neurotrophic factor deficiencies， neural plasticity impairments， glutamate dysregulation， neuroinflammatory disorders， gut microbiota imbalances， and mitochondrial autophagy dysfunction. Currently， most clinical antidepressants are monoamine neurotransmitter reuptake inhibitors. Although they exhibit certain therapeutic effects， they are associated with significant drawbacks， such as severe adverse reactions and poor patient compliance. In contrast， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， characterized by its multi-targeted effects， mild efficacy， and minimal side effects， has demonstrated significant advantages in the treatment of depression. Chinese medicine Polygalae Radix possesses the functions of calming the mind， enhancing cognitive functions， harmonizing the heart and kidneys， and dispelling phlegm to open orifices. It is often included in compound prescriptions for the clinical treatment of depression. Based on current hypotheses regarding the pathogenesis of depression， this paper systematically reviews research progress on the antidepressant mechanisms of Polygalae Radix from multiple perspectives， including its active components， its use in herbal pairings， and its inclusion in TCM compound prescriptions. This review aims to provide a scientific basis for the clinical application of Polygalae Radix in antidepressant therapy and to serve as a reference for the modernization of its antidepressant research.

Objective To explore the application effect of upper abdominal moxibustion combined with bedside ultrasound monitoring of gastric residual volume(GRV)in pre-pyloric feeding in stroke patients.Methods Eighty stroke patients admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine of Zhejiang Provincial People's Hospital from January 1,to December 31,2023 were selected as the study subjects.They were divided into control group(n=38)and observation group(n=42)using a random number table method.All patients had a nasogastric tube for pre-pyloric feeding.The control group used the traditional syringe aspiration method to monitor GRV,while the observation group used upper abdominal moxibustion combined with bedside ultrasound to monitor GRV.The study compared the differences between two groups in terms of enteral nutrition intolerance,feeding complications,enteral nutrition compliance rate within 7 days of admission,time to achieve enteral nutrition compliance,and changes in hemoglobin(Hb),serum prealbumin,serum albumin(ALB),and serum transferrin before and after 14 days of feeding.Results The incidence rates of vomiting,abdominal distention,intra-abdominal hypertension,reflux,and aspiration pneumonia in observation group were lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).The rate of achieving intestinal nutrition standard within 7 days of hospitalization was significantly higher in observation group compared to the control group.The time to achieve intestinal nutrition standard was shorter in observation group compared to control group.Furthermore,after 14 days of feeding,the levels of Hb and ALB in observation group were higher than those in control group,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion Upper abdominal moxibustion combined with bedside ultrasonic monitoring of GRV can significantly reduce intestinal nutrition intolerance and feeding complications during pre-pyloric feeding in stroke patients,shorten the time to achieve nutritional benchmarks,and improve nutritional status.

Objective To investigate the safety of rigid scleral contact lenses in correcting ametropia.Methods A total of 96 patients(192 eyes)with myopia between-20.00 and 0 D and astigmatism between 0 and 3.5 D were included in this perspective study.They were divided into an experimental group(wearing rigid scleral contact lenses)and a control group[wearing rigid corneal contact lenses(RGP)],with 48 patients in each group.Eye indicators including best correc-ted visual acuity(BCVA),corneal endothelial cell density,hexagonal cell ratio,tear film break-up time(BUT),intraocu-lar pressure(IOP),corneal fluorescence staining score,conjunctival congestion score,and ciliary congestion score were measured and compared between the two groups before wearing,on the day of wearing,and 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after wearing lenses,and eye changes were observed.Results The BCVA of patients in the two groups was grea-ter than or equal to 1.00 before wearing lenses and within 3 months after wearing lenses.Compared with before wearing lenses,the corneal endothelial cell density in the experimental group slightly decreased,and the hexagonal cell ratio slightly increased at 3 months after wearing lenses,but the differences were not statistically significant(both P＞0.05).Before wearing lenses and at 3 months after wearing lenses,the corneal endothelial cell density and the hexagonal cell ratio in the experimental group were slightly higher than those in the control group,but the differences were not statistically significant(both P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in BUT and IOP between the experimental group and the control group before wearing,on the day of wearing,and 1 week,1 month,and 3 months after wearing lenses(all P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in corneal fluorescence staining score and conjunctival and ciliary congestion ratings between the experimental group and the control group before wearing lenses and at 3 months after wearing lenses(all P＞0.05).At 3 months after wearing lenses,no conjunctival or corneal edema was observed in the experimental group.Con-clusion Rigid scleral contact lenses and RGP are safe and effective in correcting ametropia;thus,they can be applied widely.

ObjectiveTo present the exploration and application of a prospective follow-up research method for acute infectious disease surveillance based on natural community populations， using COVID-19 infection as an example， and to provide a reference for improving the infectious disease surveillance and early warning system. MethodsA multi-stage probability proportional sampling method was employed to sample residents from all communities of 16 administrative districts in Shanghai， with households as the units. A cohort for acute infectious diseases based on natural community populations was established. The baseline survey was conducted for all cohort subjects， and COVID-19 antigen test kits were distributed. From December 21， 2022 to September 30， 2023， prospective follow-up monitoring of COVID-19 antigen and nucleic acid was carried out on the study subjects on a weekly basis. The baseline characteristics and follow-up information of the cohort subjects were described. ResultsThe cohort for acute infectious diseases included a total of 12 881 subjects， comprising 6 098 males （47.3%） and 6 783 females （52.7%）. The baseline survey revealed that 35.2% （4 540/12 881） of the subjects had a history of COVID-19 infection. During the follow-up period from December 21， 2022 to September 30， 2023， the average incidence density in the cohort was 0.61/person-year， with a higher incidence density in females （0.63/person-year） compared to males （0.59/person-year）. Individuals aged 60 and above （0.64/person-year） and those with underlying health conditions （0.67/person-year） had a higher incidence density. Healthcare workers showed a notably higher incidence density （0.84/person-year） than that in other occupational groups. As of September 30， 2023， a total of 340 subjects in the cohort experienced secondary infections， with a median interval of 170 days between the first and second infections. ConclusionThis study applies cohort study method to acute infectious disease surveillance， providing crucial data support for estimating infection rates and forecasting alerts for acute infectious diseases in the community. This method can be promoted and applied as a new approach for acute infectious disease surveillance.

Objective:To explore the relationship between platform leadership, perceived overqualification, job crafting and career calling of clinical nurses, and provide references for formulating occupational calling strategies for clinical nurses.Methods:A total of 488 clinical nurses from Qingdao Hiser Hospital Affiliated of Qingdao University(Qingdao Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital), Shandong University Qilu Hospital, and Qingdao Municipal Hospital were selected as the study subjects by the convenience sampling method from April to May 2023. A general data questionnaire, Platform Leadership Scale, Perceived Overqualification Scale, Job Crafting Scale, and Career Calling Scale were used to conduct a cross-sectional investigation on the research objects, and the relationship and mediating effect between platform leadership, perceived overqualification, job crafting, and career calling were analyzed.Results:Among the 488 clinical nurses, 79 were males and 409 were females, aged 23-51 (30.37 ± 6.40) years old. The scores of platform leadership, perceived overqualification, job crafting and career calling of clinical nurses were (86.12 ± 9.99), (21.79 ± 7.29), (70.61 ± 14.54) and (38.70 ± 7.54) points, respectively. The total effect of platform leadership on work engagement was 0.316. The mediating path of platform leadership to career calling included platform leadership→perceived overqualification→career calling; platform leadership→job crafting→career calling; platform leadership→perceived overqualification→job crafting→career calling. Three mediating effects accounted for 17.99%, 9.50% and 4.56% of the total effect, respectively.Conclusions:There is a chain-mediating effect of perceived overqualification and work remodeling on the relationship between platform leadership and the career calling of clinical nurses. Nursing managers should implement platform leadership to alleviate clinical nurses ′ perceived overqualification, improve job crafting, and then improve the level of clinical nurses ′ career calling.

Objective:To compare the testing effects of different testing methods in the functional inspection of precision surgical scissors and needle holders.Methods:By consulting relevant literature and professional books,three testing methods and materials for precision surgical scissors and needle holders were selected.The cutting performance of the precision surgical scissors were tested by gauze cloth,cotton wool,and silicone film method in the Interlock surgical instrument testing set.The clamping performance of precision needle holder was tested by using light,needle clips,and thread clamping method in the Interlock surgical instrument testing set.100 pieces of precision surgical scissors and needle holders which were qualified for cleaning and disinfection in the hospital were selected for effectiveness testing,and a self-made satisfaction questionnaire to investigate the satisfaction of surgeons with the use of instruments.Results:After 100 precision surgical scissors tested using three methods of gauze,cotton wool,and silicone film,the qualified number of cutting performance was 94,76,and 58,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(x2=36.526,P<0.05).The satisfaction rate of surgeons with the use of precision surgical scissors passed the silicone film test was the highest at 100%,followed by cotton wool cloth at 82.0%,and the gauze method at the worst at 67.0%,the difference was statistically significant(x2=48.439,P<0.05).After 100 precision needle holders were tested by using three methods of light irradiation,needle clamping,and wire clamping,the qualified number of clamping performance was 96,78,and 62,respectively,the difference was statistically significant(x2=38.160,P<0.05).The satisfaction rate of surgeons with the precision needle holders passed the clamp line test was the highest at 100.0%,followed by the clamp needle at 79.0%,and the worst under light at 62.0%,the difference was statistically significant(x2=57.705,P<0.05).Conclusion:The function and quality of precision surgical scissors and needle holders tested by the test objects in Interlock Surgical Instrument Test Suite can objectively and accurately reflect the functional status of surgical scissors and needle holders,provide reference for regular maintenance and upkeep of instruments,and ensure safe use of instruments.

Objective To investigate the level of coagulation factor Ⅺ(FⅪ)in patients with venous thrombosis of lower limbs and its correlation with recurrence risk.Methods A total of 220 pa-tients with deep vein thrombosis(DVT)admitted in our hospital from February 2018 to February 2019 were enrolled as the study group,and another 50 healthy individuals taking physical exami-nation during same period served as the control group.After a 3 years followed,the study group ultimately included 197 cases,according to the results of restricted cubic spline(RCS),the study group was divided into low(FⅪ＜10.3 U/L,94 cases),medium-(10.3-12.1 U/L,52 cases)and high-level groups(＞12.1 U/L,51 cases).The plasma level of FⅪ was detected in the study group 1 month after the end of anticoagulant therapy,and the results were compared with those of the control group during physical examination.Cox model was used to analyze the influence of FⅪ on the recurrence of DVT,and RCS was employed to analyze the relationship between DVT recur-rence and FⅪ level.Kaplan-Meier curve was plotted to analyze the recurrence risk of DVT with different FⅪ levels.The patients from the study group were followed up for 3 years.Results The FⅪ level was significantly higher in the study group than the control group(P＜0.05).During fol-low-up period,33 patients(16.75％)had DVT recurrence.The Cox model analysis after adjust-ment of sex and age showed that FⅪ level was a risk factor for DVT recurrence(P＜0.05).When the FⅪ level was set into tertile and the risk ratio was calculated after adjustment,FⅪ＜10.3 U/L,and the average FⅪ level at this stage was 9.2 U/L,the risk ratio was 0.82(95％CI:0.673-0.984);Patients with FⅪ between 10.3 and 12.1 U/L,and the average FⅪ at this stage was 11.4 U/L,the risk ratio of 1.04(95％CI:0.813-1.432).The those with FⅪ＞12.1 U/L,and the average FⅪ at this stage was 13.8 U/L,hazard ratio of 1.38(95％CI:0.921-1.563).Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that the recurrence risk was 28.62％(95％CI:25.633-31.609),30.10％(95％CI:27.594-32.606)and 38.06％(95％CI:34.306-41.371),respectively for the low-,medium-,and high-level groups,with significant correlation among the three groups(x2=6.631,P=0.036).Conclusion Compared with healthy individuals,plasma FⅪ level is at a high level in the DVT patients.With the increment of FⅪ level,the risk of DVT recurrence increases.Two FⅪ levels,10.3 U/L and 12.1 U/L,can be used as reference points for the obvious increase of DVT recur-rence rate.

AIM: To evaluate the efficacy of phacoemulsification with intraocular lens implantation(PEI)combined with goniosynechialysis(GSL)and goniotomy(GT)under direct vision with gonioscope in the treatment of advanced primary angle-closure glaucoma(PACG)combined with cataract.METHODS: Retrospective case series study. A total of 62 patients(65 eyes)with advanced PACG combined with cataract who were treated in the Second Hospital of Anhui Medical University from December 1, 2021 to March 31, 2023 were enrolled, and they were divided into two groups according to different surgical methods. The control group(32 cases, 33 eyes)received PEI+GSL, whereas the observation group(30 cases, 32 eyes)received PEI+GSL+GT. The intraocular pressure(IOP), best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)and the number of anti-glaucoma medications of the two groups before surgery and at 1 d, 1 wk, 1, 3, and 6 mo after surgery were evaluated. In addition, the visual field, cup-to-disc ratio(C/D), angle open range, anterior chamber depth, and average thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer(RNFL)were evaluated before and 6 mo after surgery.RESULTS: There were significant differences in IOP and lowering range of average IOP at 6 mo between the PEI+GSL+GT group(16.68±2.65, 11.12±8.53 mmHg)and the PEI+GSL group(18.71±2.51, 8.32±4.17 mmHg; P<0.05), and there was no difference in the rate of IOP reduction(44.57%±21.79% and 35.20%±17.94%, P>0.05). The number of anti-glaucoma medications, BCVA, anterior chamber depth, and angle closure range were improved in the two groups at 6 mo after operation(all P<0.01). The number of medication reductions and the range of angle opening at 6 mo after surgery in the PEI+GSL+GT group were significantly higher than those in the PEI+GSL group(P<0.05), and there was no difference in the other indicators between the two groups(all P>0.05). There was no difference in the mean deviation of visual field, C/D and average thickness of RNFL between the two groups at 6 mo after operation compared with those before operation(all P>0.05). The complete surgery success rate of the PEI+GSL+GT group was 81%(26/32), and the conditional success rate was 94%(30/32); while those rates of the PEI+GSL group were 58%(19/33)and 76%(25/33), respectively. There were statistical significance in the success rate of surgery between the two groups(complete success rate χ2=4.275, P=0.039; conditional success rate χ2=4.040, P=0.044). No vision-threatening complications and another surgery occurred in either group.CONCLUSION: The study showed that for patients with advanced PACG with cataract, PEI+GSL+GT is more effective than PEI+GSL.

Intracellular overexpression of cytoglobin (Cygb) has been shown to reduce extracellular matrix deposition and promote liver fibrosis recovery, but its mechanism is not yet clear. This study constructed and expressed a fusion protein (TAT-Cygb) of cell penetrating peptide TAT and Cygb, to investigate the effect of fusion protein TAT-Cygb on regulating hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) ferroptosis. Cultured human hepatic stellate cells line (LX2) were treated with TAT-Cygb and erastin in vitro, respectively. The effects of ferroptosis phenotype in LX2 cells induced by TAT-Cygb, including cell viability, cell morphology, iron ion (Fe²⁺) content, lipid peroxidation product levels, and antioxidant system indicators, were investigated using trypan blue staining, transmission electron microscopy, Prussian blue staining, and reagent kits detection. After co-treatment with TAT-Cygb and ferrostain-1, the levels of Fe²⁺, reactive oxygen species (ROS), malondialdehyde (MDA), 4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE), nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and glutathione (GSH) were measured by reagent kits. The protein expression levels of alpha smooth actin (α-SMA), collagen I and fibronectin were detected by Western blot, and the protein expression level of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and desmin relevant to fibrosis were observed by immunofluorescence. The results showed that TAT-Cygb could significantly reduce the viability of LX2 cells and trigger events relevant to ferroptosis, including promoting intracellular Fe²⁺ accumulation, and inducing mitochondrial morphological changes, and intensifying lipid peroxidation products accumulation, and decreasing the level of antioxidant indexes, which played a similar role as erastin; Fer-1 significantly weakened the increase in Fe²⁺, ROS, MDA, 4-HNE levels induced by TAT-Cygb, as well as the decrease in NADPH and GSH levels, while also weakening the TAT-Cygb-induced over-expression levels of α-SMA, collagen I and fibronectin, and TAT-Cygb-induced under-expression levels of EGFR and desmin. This cellular level study indicated that TAT-Cygb can induce ferroptosis of activated HSCs. This study revealed the potential mechanism of TAT-Cygb anti-liver fibrosis, and provided the experimental basis for further research on the molecular mechanism of TAT-Cygb realizing biological function by regulating the ferroptosis pathway.
