OBJECTIVE To analyze the prototype components absorbed into blood and brain of Lithocarpus litseifolius leaves， so as to provide a reference for clarifying the pharmacological material basis of its prevention and treatment of central nervous system dis eases. METHODS The ethanol extract of L. litseifolius leaves， as well as the gastric lavage fluid and perfusion solution were prepared. Using rats as subjects， plasma samples of intestinal wall metabolism， intestinal flora metabolism and hepatic metabolism were prepared via in situ intestinal perfusion and closed intestinal loop method； while comprehensive metabolic plasma samples， brain tissue samples， and cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected after intragastric administration. UPLC-HRMS technology was utilized to analyze and identify chemical components and prototype components absorbed into blood and brain of L. litseifolius leaves. RESULTS A total of 66 chemical constituents were identified in L. litseifolius leaves， primarily consisting of flavonoids， organic acids， and others. A total of 16， 13， 11， and 5 prototype components were identified in intestinal wall metabolism， intestinal flora metabolism， hepatic metabolism， and comprehensive metabolic plasma samples， respectively. Additionally， 4 prototype components were detected in brain tissue and 9 in cerebrospinal fluid. Phloridzin， trilobatin， phloretin-2- O -malonyl hexoside， and phloretin were identified as common components across all sample types. CONCLUSIONS Prototype components absorbed into blood and brain of L. litseifolius leaves， such as phloridzin， trilobatin， phloretin， and other components may serve as the pharmacological material basis for their therapeutic effects on central nervous system diseases.

Endocrine therapy is mainly used as preoperative neoadjuvant therapy and postoperative adjuvant therapy for breast cancer patients and as salvage therapy for advanced breast cancer patients.Osteoporosis is the common adverse reaction of endocrine therapy for breast cancer,which seriously affects the quality of life of the patients.The theory of"liver and kidney sharing the common source"is closely related to the etiology,pathogenesis and therapeutic principle of osteoporosis.It is believed that the pathogenesis of endocrine therapy associated osteoporosis in breast cancer is most closely related to liver and kidney,and is characterized by deficiency in origin and excess in superficiality.Deficiency in origin manifests as deficiency of liver and kidney,and excess in superficiality manifests as blood stasis blocking collaterals.Chinese herbal medicine with the actions of nourishing liver and kidney can be used for interventions of various stages of endocrine therapy for breast cancer.In the stage of preoperative neoadjuvant therapy,Chinese herbal medicine intervention focuses on inhibiting cancer,so as to achieve synergistic anticancer actions with neoadjuvant therapy;the intervention can also be supplemented by medicine for supporting healthy qi with modified Liuwei Dihuang Pills,thus to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions.In the stage of postoperative adjuvant therapy,Chinese herbal medicine intervention focuses on supporting healthy qi,so as to promote the recovery of body functions and prevent the occurrence of osteoporosis,and modified treatment with Duhuo Jisheng Decoction or Zuogui Pills can be chosen.In the advanced stage of salvage treatment,Chinese herbal medicine intervention focuses on supporting healthy qi,and medicines for nourishing liver and kidney,strengthening muscles and bones,and activating qi and blood circulation to relieve pain can be chosen;in addition,medicinals with affinity to flesh and blood can be added to enhance the actions of nourishing liver and kidney.

The key pathological feature of age-related macular degeneration(AMD)is dysfunction of retinal pigment epithelial cells.Cell adhesion,serving as the biological basis for dynamic interactions between cells and between cells and the extracellular matrix,regulates tissue homeostasis through transmembrane signaling networks mediated by adhesion molecules.Studies have shown that the aberrant expression of E-cadherin,which offers advantages such as dynamic plas-ticity,tissue specificity,and signal transduction capability,is closely associated with the pathological mechanism of AMD.Targeting E-cadherin-related molecules may thus serve as a potential strategy for AMD intervention.This article reviews re-cent advances in the molecular regulatory mechanisms and therapeutic research concerning E-cadherin in AMD,aiming to provide a theoretical basis for its clinical translation.

Objective To study the changes of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant capacity in patients with hypercholesterolemia.Methods A total of 100 patients with elevated cholesterol treated in the People's Hospital of Qitaihe from January to May 2024 were included in hypercholesterolemia group,and another 80 people with normal blood lipid in the hospital during the same period were included in control group.Malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione(GSH),glutathione reductase(GR)and total antioxidant capacity(TAC)were determined in all subjects.Results The levels of total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol and MDA in hypercholesterolemia group were significantly higher than those in control group,while the levels of GSH,GR and TAC were significantly lower than those in control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with hypercholesterolemia have severe lipid peroxidation,which may cause vascular endothelial cell damage.

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of hospitalized injury cases in Huangpu District, Guangzhou City in 2022, so as to provide evidence for optimizing injury prevention interventions. Methods: Data on hospitalized injury cases admitted between January to December 2022 were collected through the hospitalization registry system from 17 healthcare institutions in Huangpu District. The population distribution characteristics, causes of injury, injury sites, duration of hospital stay, and hospitalization costs were descriptively analyzed. Results: A total of 6 729 hospitalized injury cases were reported in Huangpu District in 2022, including 4 277 males and 2 452 females, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.74∶1. The average age was (49.57±19.82) years, with 2 064 cases (30.67%) aged 45 to <60 years and 1 921 cases (28.55%) aged ≥60 years. The median length of hospitalization was 9.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, with median hospitalization costs of 15 968.93 (interquartile range, 25 786.69) yuan. In the months of June to August, there were more cases of injury hospitalization,with 1 904 cases accounting for 28.30%. The top three causes of injury were falls (2 895 cases, 43.02%), transportation accidents (1 247 cases, 18.53%) and exposure to inanimate mechanical forces (1 104 cases, 16.41%). The top three injured sites were lower limb injuries (1 850 cases, 27.49%), upper limb injuries (1 596 cases, 23.72%) and other sites (1 178 cases, 17.51%). The three leading causes of injury with longest hospitalization duration were burns and scalds, transport accidents and falls, with the median duration being 12.00 (interquartile range, 8.00) days, 10.00 (interquartile range, 13.00) days and 10.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, respectively. The top three injury sites associated with the longest hospitalization duration were others, lower limb injuries, and head and neck injuries, with the median duration being 11.00 (interquartile range, 13.00) days, 11.00 (interquartile range, 11.00) days, and 10.00 (interquartile range, 12.00) days, respectively. The causes of injury associated with higher hospitalization costs were falls and transportation accidents, with the median hospitalization cost being 23 550.13 (interquartile range, 30 087.76) yuan for falls and 20 301.94 (interquartile range, 30 589.86) yuan for transportation accidents. The injury sites associated with higher hospitalization costs were lower limb injuries and upper limb injuries, with the median hospitalization cost being 24 257.32 (interquartile range, 34 145.54) yuan for lower limb injuries and 16 506.33 (interquartile range, 20 052.27) yuan for upper limb injuries. Conclusions In Huangpu District, hospitalized injury mainly occurred among males and individuals aged ≥45 years, with the higher incidence observed between June and August. Fall was the primary cause of injury, while lower limb injuries was the main injury sites. The injury resulted in substantially higher hospitalization costs.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve replacement(ViV-TMVR)in the treatment of bioprosthetic mitral valve failure.Methods Seventeen patients with bioprosthetic mitral valve failure who required ViV-TMVR were selected.Preoperative data including age,gender,body mass index(BMI),usage time of bioprosthetic mitral valve,comorbidities(hypertension,coronary heart disease,old cerebral infarction,atrial fibrillation and diabetes)and New York Heart Association(NYHA)functional class were recorded,and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),right atrial diameter(RA),pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),type of bioprosthetic mitral valve failure,degree of bioprosthetic mitral valve regurgitation and stenosis,peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the bioprosthetic mitral valve,and Society of Thoracic Surgeons(STS)score were also collected.Intraoperative data included puncture route,valve type,intraoperative complications,operation time and immediate postoperative transesophageal echocardiography(TEE)assessment(peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve,valve-in-valve regurgitation or paravalvular regurgitation)were collected.Postoperative data included time in the intensive care unit(ICU)/cardiovascular intensive care unit(CCU),total postoperative hospital stay and 30-day postoperative echocardiographic results and NYHA functional class were recorded.Patients were divided into the domestic NewMed valve group(10 cases)and the imported Edwards valve group(7 cases)based on the type of valve used.The safety and efficacy of ViV-TMVR were analyzed,and the efficacy of domestic valves and imported valves was compared.Results All 17 patients successfully underwent ViV-TMVR via the transseptal approach without serious complications,and the 30-day readmission rate was 0%.There were no significant differences in operation time of domestic valves and imported valves,mild paravalvular regurgitation of the valve-in-valve,peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve immediately after surgery and at 30-day postoperatively,time in ICU/CCU,total postoperative hospital stay and the proportion of patients with NYHA functional class Ⅲ-Ⅳ at 30-day postoperatively between the domestic valve group and the imported valve group.During the 30-day follow-up,one patient died of cerebral hemorrhage,and one patient had major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE,cerebral hemorrhage).Compared with before the operation,the peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve,LVEF,and PASP decreased immediately after surgery and at 30 days after surgery.Compared with immediately after surgery,the peak velocity and mean transvalvular pressure gradient of the valve-in-valve increased at 30 days postoperatively(P＜0.01),while there were no significant differences in LVEF and PASP.Conclusion Transseptal ViV-TMVR is safe and effective in the short term for patients with bioprosthetic mitral valve failure who are at high risk of re-thoracotomy,and the efficacy of domestic valves is comparable to that of imported valves.
