Allergic diseases exhibited the characteristics of latent concealment and dynamic transmutation， which highly align with the pathogenic features of "latency and transformative change" described in the theory of latent pathogens. Based on the "latent pathogens with transformative potential" theory， this paper systematically explored the mechanisms of occurrence， transmission， and outcome of allergic diseases. It proposed that the insufficiency of kidney essence is the root cause enabling pathogens to lurk internally， leading to disease onset due to deficient healthy qi and lurking pathogens； the dysfunction of sanjiao serves as the pathway for pathogen stagnation， driving multi-system transmission； the accumulation of phlegm， stasis， and toxins constitutes the predicament of a protracted course， ultimately resulting in intractable pathological entanglement. Accordingly， a tiered intervention strategy is formulated，i.e. during the latency period， treatment should tonify the kidney and replenish essence to consolidate the foundation and halt the tendency of pathogens to lurk internally； during the transmission period， treatment should regulate sanjiao to intercept disease transmission and curb multi-system proliferation； during the protracted period， treatment should purge phlegm and resolve stasis to eliminate stubborn lesions， and break the vicious cycle of chronic accumulation and damage.

Objective To understand the current status of blood pressure variability and dyslipidemia in young and middle-aged patients with ischemic stroke, and to explore their relationship with prognosis. Methods A total of 312 young and middle-aged patients with ischemic stroke who met the inclusion criteria in Beijing Pinggu District Hospital from January 2022 to January 2025 were selected. The prognosis status [modified Rankin scale (mRS)], blood pressure variability, and blood lipids [total cholesterol (TC), triacylglycerol (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C)] were analyzed. The correlation of blood pressure variability and blood lipids levels with prognosis was explored by logistic regression analysis. Results There were 206 patients with good prognosis and 106 patients with poor prognosis. The number of patients who received diversified health education in the good prognosis group was more than that in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05). The systolic blood pressure successive variation (SV) and average real variability (ARV), and diastolic blood pressure SV and ARV were lower in the good prognosis group than those in the poor prognosis group (P<0.05). Furthermore, compared with the poor prognosis group, the good prognosis group had lower levels of TC, TG and LDL-C, while the number of patients receiving diversified health education and the level of HDL-C were higher (P<0.05). After logistic regression analysis, it was found that the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, systolic blood pressure SV and ARV, and diastolic blood pressure SV and ARV were risk factors for poor prognosis. Conversely, receiving diversified health education and HDL-C level were protective factors for poor prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion High blood pressure fluctuation, dyslipidemia, and lack of health education will increase the risk of poor prognosis in young and middle-aged stroke patients.

Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) represent a significant occupational health challenge among healthcare professionals globally, posing substantial threats to physical and mental well-being as well as work sustainability. Adopting preventive behaviors—including ergonomic postural adjustments, optimized work-rest scheduling, proper use of protective and assistive equipment, and regular physical activity—is essential for mitigating the risk of WMSDs. Guided by the social ecological model, the review synthesized current evidence on the determinants of WMSDs preventive behaviors across four levels: intrapersonal characteristics, work environment conditions, interpersonal support, and policy/institutional factors. The findings suggest that higher educational attainment, favorable health-related behavioral patterns, optimized ergonomic work environments, adoption of supportive collaborative systems, strong organizational support, as well as policy safeguards facilitate preventive behavior adoption. Conversely, limited prevention-related knowledge, low risk perception, insufficient physical activity, excessive workload, lack of appropriate protective equipment, inadequate ergonomic training, a prevailing culture of presenteeism, and inadequate policy implementation constitute significant barriers. Multi-dimensional intervention strategies targeting these determinants are warranted to enhance preventive behaviors, reduce the risk of WMSDs, and strengthen occupational health protection for healthcare professionals.

Coagulation factor XIa (FXIa) plays a crucial role in thrombus formation; therefore, the development of potent and safe FXIa inhibitors is of great significance. In this study, compound F22, previously discovered by our group, was selected as the lead compound. Based on the principles of bioisosterism and fragment-based drug design, four series comprising 14 novel Asundexian derivatives not previously reported in the literature were designed and synthesized. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR and HRMS, and their inhibitory activities against FXIa were evaluated using chromogenic substrate assay. Results showed that compound FD-1 exhibited the most potent activity, with an IC50 value of 2.8 nmol/L, which was superior to that of the lead compound F22 (IC50 = 4.5 nmol/L) and the reference drug Asundexian (IC50 = 5.0 nmol/L). Furthermore, in the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) assay, compound FD-1 demonstrated excellent anticoagulant activity, outperforming Asundexian, showing no significant effect on prothrombin time (PT). These findings provide valuable insights for further structural optimization and rational design of small-molecule FXIa inhibitors.

Malignant tumors remain one of the most critical global public threats to human health. The early diagnosis and precise therapeutic interventions are pivotal for improving patient survival rates and prognosis. Gold nanoclusters (Au NCs), distinguished by their ultra-small size (<3 nm), tunable optical properties, and exceptional biocompatibility, have emerged as transformative agents in precision oncology. This comprehensive review systematically summarizes the multifaceted applications of Au NCs in malignant tumor treatment. We discuss their roles as follows. (1) Intelligent delivery vehicles for targeted chemotherapy and controlled release through surface functionalization. (2) Therapeutic agents for chemodynamic therapy (CDT). This capability stems from their intrinsic enzyme-like catalytic activity or potent thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibitory function, which disrupts the intracellular redox homeostasis and effectively activates downstream apoptotic pathways.(3) Direct therapeutic agents are characterized by their energy conversion capabilities: they can either convert absorbed light into heat to directly kill cancer cells, or transfer that photon energy to surrounding oxygen molecules to generate cytotoxic reactive oxygen species (ROS), leading to cell apoptosis or necrosis. (4) Potent radiosensitizers that enhance radiotherapy efficacy by enhancing localized radiation dose and promoting ROS generation. This review systematically summarizes the recent advances in Au NCs as intelligent delivery systems, direct chemotherapeutic agents, phototherapeutic agents, and efficient radiosensitizers in tumor treatment, elucidating how Au NCs overcome traditional therapeutic limitations through synergistic strategy. It establishes a robust theoretical foundation for next-generation nanotheranostic platforms. However, the translation of laboratory findings into functional clinical technologies confronts three significant challenges. First, although researchers can synthesize atomically precise Au NCs, achieving large-scale production of batches with completely consistent structure, size, and surface chemistry remains extremely challenging. To effectively control the final synthetic product, a deep understanding of the characteristics and formation mechanisms of Au NCs is essential. The traditional “trial-and-error” experimental approach faces inherent limitations when dealing with vast combinations of variables, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and struggles with systematic exploration and reproducibility. Machine learning has emerged as a powerful tool to bridge fundamental research and clinical application, which can guide experiments in reverse by predicting synthesis success through data mining and multi-variable analysis. In the future, we anticipate to achieve precise prediction and on-demand design of Au NCs’ structure and properties. Secondly, a systematic framework for evaluating the in vivo pharmacokinetics and long-term toxicity of Au NCs is absent. To address this gap, it is crucial to develop advanced imaging methodologies and integrated theranostic platforms. Au NCs, serving as both a therapeutic core and a highly promising photoluminescent material, are key to constructing such platforms through integration with other agents. These multifunctional systems are designed to achieve optimal synergistic therapy by combining multiple treatment modalities. Finally, the investigation of Au NCs is still largely confined to preclinical cellular and animal studies. Progress necessitates comprehensive clinical research to rigorously assess their safety and efficacy across a range of human cancer models, thereby ensuring broad clinical applicability. In summary, Au NCs-based platforms hold immense promise for translation into clinical anticancer therapy.

ObjectiveTo explore the vascular endothelial injury in male mice caused by exposure to polystyrene microplastics （PS-MPs） and the intervention effect of luteolin on vascular remodeling. Additionally， to investigate the mechanism through the oxidative system and metabolomics. MethodsThirty-two C57BL/6 mice （6-8 weeks old） were randomly divided into the saline group （saline group）， the 0.1 mg/kg PS-MPs exposure group （0.1PS-MPs group）， the 1 mg/kg PS-MPs exposure group （1PS-MPs group）， and the 1 mg/kg PS-MPs + luteolin treatment group （1PS-MPs + Lut group）， with 8 mice in each group. After 8 weeks of intervention， the body weight， blood pressure， aortic organ coefficient， and aortic histopathological changes of mice in each group were detected； the total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） lipid metabolism-related indicators in the aorta of mice were detected； the reactive oxygen species （ROS）， glutathione （GSH）， and malondialdehyde （MDA） oxidative stress-related indicators were detected； the endothelin （ET-1）， nitric oxide （NO）， vascular endothelial growth factor A （VEGF-A）， vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM-1/CD106）， and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 （ICAM-1/CD54） endothelial function-related indicators and serum metabolomics were detected. ResultsCompared to the saline group， exposure to PS-MPs resulted in pathological thickening of the mouse aorta， increased aortic organ coefficient， and elevated blood pressure. Lipid metabolism-related indicators， including TC and TG， were elevated， while HDL-C was reduced， indicating lipid metabolism disorder in mice. Oxidative stress markers such as ROS and MDA increased， whereas GSH decreased， demonstrating oxidative damage. Vascular endothelial inflammation and injury markers， including ET-1， VEGF-A， VCAM-1， and ICAM-1， were upregulated， while the vasodilatory substance NO was downregulated， confirming endothelial injury. Furthermore， serum metabolomics results revealed that PS-MPs exposure induced endothelial damage by disrupting metabolic pathways such as the citrate cycle. Compared to the PS-MPs group， luteolin significantly reversed these effects， attenuating oxidative stress and lipid metabolism disorders， and effectively repairing endothelial injury. ConclusionPS-MPs induce vascular toxicity through oxidative stress and lipid metabolism. Luteolin effectively alleviates endothelial damage and vascular remodeling.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab plus chemotherapy in patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or adenocarcinoma of gastroesophageal junction （AEG） with intermediate， low， or no human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 （HER2） expression. METHODS Patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or AEG with intermediate， low， or no HER2 expression who were treated at Liaoning Cancer Hospital between October 1， 2024 and June 30， 2025 were retrospectively included. According to the treatment regimen received， the patients were divided into group A [cadonilimab plus oxaliplatin and capecitabine （XELOX）， n ＝54 ] ， group B （sintilimab plus XELOX， n ＝68）， and group C （tislelizumab plus XELOX， n ＝49）. Short-term efficacy after 4 cycles of treatment， survival outcomes， and adverse events were compared among the three groups. Cox regression and Logistic regression analyses were further performed to evaluate the effects of the treatment regimen and baseline data on survival outcomes and the risk of grade 3-4 treatment related adverse events （TRAEs）. RESULTS No statistically significant differences in objective response rate or disease control rate were observed among the three groups （ P ＞0.05）. The median progression-free survival was 7.56 （5.62， 8.11） months in group A， 7.23 （5.33， 8.23） months in group B， and 7.33 （5.42， 8.19） months in group C， with no statistically significant difference among the three groups （ P ＞0.05）. The median overall survival （mOS） was 11.67 （8.82， 13.88） months in group A， 9.78 （6.82， 12.73） months in group B， and 9.69 （6.78， 12.66） months in group C. The mOS was significantly longer in group A than in group B and group C （ P ＜0.05）， whereas no statistically significant difference was observed between group B and group C （ P ＞0.05）. The correlation analysis indicated that treatment regimen， Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status （ECOG PS）， number of metastatic organs， and peritoneal metastasis may be associated with overall survival （OS）. No significant association was observed between treatment regimen and the risk of grade 3-4 TRAEs. The incidences of grade 1-2 or grade 3-4 TRAEs did not differ significantly among the three groups （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS In patients with advanced gastric adenocarcinoma or AEG with intermediate， low， or no HER2 expression， cadonilimab plus XELOX may provide a more significant OS benefit with a safety profile comparable to that of sintilimab or tislelizumab plus XELOX. Further studies with larger sample sizes are required to validate these findings.
