ObjectiveBased on modern analytical techniques and a depressed mouse model established by chronic unpredictable mild stress（CUMS）， to evaluate the quality marker（Q-Marker） and pharmacodynamic difference of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by different processes. MethodsHigh performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） was used to establish the characteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang， and determine the content of Q-Marker in the samples prepared by ancient and modern processes. Seventy C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the normal group， model group， fluoxetine group（3 mg·kg^-1）， low and high dose groups of ancient process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， and low and high dose groups of modern process（6.5， 26 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice in each group. Except for the normal group， CUMS was used to induce depression in mice from the other groups for 28 d. After successful modeling， administration groups were given the corresponding drugs by gavage every day， and the normal and model groups were given an equal volume of pure water by gavage for 21 consecutive days. Change in body mass of mice was recorded， tail suspension test and open field test were used to evaluate the depressive behavior of mice， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was employed to determine the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， interleukin（IL）-1β and IL-6 in serum. ResultsCharacteristic profiles of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes were established， the similarity between the two was 0.951， and 8 characteristic peaks were recognized with the reference peak of regaloside A. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the Q-Marker content was similar in Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by ancient and modern processes. The results of pharmacodynamics showed that， compared with the normal group， the model group showed increased immobility time in the tail suspension test， reduced total movement distance in the open field test， and elevated IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α levels in the serum（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the behavioral indicators of mice in the Baihe Dihuangtang treatment group were significantly improved in terms of tail suspension time and open field exercise， and the levels of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in serum were significantly reduced（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by the two processes both had antidepressant effects， and the difference between the two was not statistically significant in improving depressive symptoms. ConclusionQ-Marker of Baihe Dihuangtang prepared by modern and ancient methods are equivalent in content， and the pharmacological effects are consistent， indicating that dried Lilii Bulbus can replace fresh products in the preparation of Baihe Dihuangtang. This study provides a scientific basis for the development of new drugs of Baihe Dihuangtang and a reference for its rational application and clinical use.

Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) represents a prominent research focus in medicine, with medical education being a key application area. GAI demonstrates potential to enhance residency training efficacy through personalized instruction, automated assessment item generation, question bank updating, and intelligent scoring systems. However, current limitations exist regarding output accuracy and content consistency. To address these constraints, strategic measures are required: continuous GAI model refinement, development of standardized usage guidelines, enhanced data quality control, and implementation of human verification protocols for generated content. Concurrently, residents should proactively acquire GAI utilization skills to strengthen the practical application of theoretical knowledge. With these advancements, GAI is anticipated to evolve into a valuable asset for improving the efficiency and quality of residency training programs.

Objective: To investigate the knowledge, attitude and practice of infectious disease prevention and control among primary and middle school students in Gongshu District, Hangzhou City, so as to provide the evidence for implementing health education on infectious disease prevention and control in schools. Methods: Students from 12 primary and middle schools in Gongshu District were selected using a random cluster sampling method. Basic information, knowledge, attitude and practice of infectious disease middle and control were collected through questionnaire surveys. Influencing factors of practice of primary and middle school students' infectious disease prevention and control were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression model. Results: A total of 3 439 primary and middle school students were surveyed, including 1 717 boys (49.93%) and 1 722 girls (50.07%). There were 1 237 primary school students (35.97%), 1 092 junior high school students (31.75%), and 1 110 senior high school students (32.28%). The awareness of infectious disease prevention and control knowledge, the percentage of attitude towards infectious disease prevention and control, and the percentage of practice towards infectious disease prevention and control were 73.22%, 96.83%, and 60.19%, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that girls (OR=1.460, 95%CI: 1.265-1.685), those who had received health education on infectious disease prevention (OR=2.088, 95%CI: 1.656-2.632), those with adequate knowledge (OR=2.129, 95%CI: 1.816-2.496), and those with positive attitude (OR=4.320, 95%CI: 2.683-6.957) were more likely to form practice for the prevention and control of infectious disease. Conversely, senior high school students (OR=0.667, 95%CI: 0.561-0.794) and those with poor self-rated health status (OR=0.678, 95%CI: 0.495-0.930) were less likely to form practice for the prevention and control of infectious disease. Conclusions The attitude towards infectious disease prevention and control among primary and middle school students in Gongshu District is relatively high, but their awareness and practice are low. It is recommended to strengthen health education on infectious disease prevention and control knowledge in a targeted manner to promote the formation of prevention and control practice among senior high school students and primary and middle school students who self-assess their health status as poor.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is an idiopathic intestinal inflammatory condition with chronic and relapsing manifestations and is characterized by a disturbance in the interplay between the intestinal microbiota, the gut, and the brain. The microbiota-gut-brain axis involves interactions among the nervous system, the neuroendocrine system, the gut microbiota, and the host immune system. Increasing published data indicate that psychological stress exacerbates the severity of IBD due to its negative effects on the microbiota-gut-brain axis, including alterations in the stress response of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, the balance between the sympathetic nervous system and vagus nerves, the homeostasis of the intestinal flora and metabolites, and normal intestinal immunity and permeability. Although the current evidence is insufficient, psychotropic agents, psychotherapies, and interventions targeting the microbiota-gut-brain axis show the potential to improve symptoms and quality of life in IBD patients. Therefore, further studies that translate recent findings into therapeutic approaches that improve both physical and psychological well-being are needed.

OBJECTIVE To establish the ultra-high liquid chromatography （UPLC） characteristic spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different producing areas， to conduct chemical pattern recognition analysis， and to identify the medicinal materials of their different origins and counterfeit products. METHODS UPLC method was adopted to establish the characteristic spectra of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins； cluster analysis combined with principal component analysis were used to analyze their quality； Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from different origins and counterfeit products were identified. RESULTS UPLC specific spectrum of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis was established， and 13 common peaks were calibrated； peak 2 was identified as catechin， peak 3 as chlorogenic acid， peak 4 as cryptochlorogenic acid， peak 7 as isochlorogenic acid B， peak 8 as isodehydroguotenine， peak 9 as isooguotenine， peak 10 as dehydroguotenine， peak 11 as isochlorogenic acid C， peak 12 as goutenine， and peak 13 as camptothecin. Through cluster analysis， the medicinal materials of 43 batches of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis could be divided into 5 categories according to their different origins. Further principal component analysis revealed that the principal component comprehensive scores of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis produced in Jiangxi and Hunan were relatively high， ranging from 0.264 to 2.904. The specific chromatogram could effectively distinguish among the different origins and their counterfeit products of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis. CONCLUSIONS The established UPLC specific chromatogram can be used for quality control of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis， and the study found that the quality of Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis from Jiangxi and Hunan provinces is relatively good.

Objective:To discuss the clinical characteristics of autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 16 patients caused by STUB1 gene mutation, in order to improve the clinical doctors′ understanding of the disease. Methods:The clinical manifestations, auxiliary examinations and genetic testing of 1 autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 16 patient caused by STUB1 gene variants diagnosed in Qilu Hospital of Shandong University in May 2022 were collected, and the relevant literature was reviewed to summarize the clinical and genetic characteristics of this type of disease. Results:The proband was a 35-year-old male presenting with unsteady walk and dysarthria. Magnetic resonance imaging showed cerebellar atrophy. Next generation sequencing revealed compound heterozygous c.322dupG (p.Glu108Glyfs *4) and c.433A>C (p.Lys145Gln) variants in the STUB1 gene (according to the transcript NM_005861.4), and the c.322dupG (p.Glu108Glyfs *4) variant was a novel variant. Pedigree verification revealed the 2 variants were respectively inherited from the proband′s healthy parents. A total of 12 foreign literatures reported 32 autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 16 patients. The main clinical manifestations were ataxia, dysarthria and tendon hyperreflexia. Besides, nystagmus, spasticity, action tremors, and myoclonus can be present. Magnetic resonance imaging predominantly showed cerebellar atrophy. Conclusions:The patient with autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia type 16 caused by STUB1 gene variant is rare in China. The main clinical manifestation is cerebellar ataxia, and brain imaging reveals remarkable cerebellar atrophy. Genetic testing is helpful for definite diagnosis.

Objective To explore the nutritional risk investigation and influencing factors of elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Methods The clinical data of 239 elderly patients with CAP in Western Theater General Hospital were retrospectively analyzed from January 2022 to January 2024. Nutritional risk screening scale (NRS2002) was used to investigate the nutritional risk of patients. According to the nutritional risk investigation results, 239 elderly patients with CAP were divided into higher risk group (NRS2002≥3 points) and lower risk group (NRS2002<3 points). Univariate analysis was used to compare the gender, age, education level, body mass index (BMI), family monthly income, living condition, severity of pneumonia, smoking history, presence or absence of chronic diseases, cognitive dysfunction and self-care ability. The independent risk factors of nutritional risk in elderly patients with CAP were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. Results According to NRS2002 score, there were 87 cases (36.4%) in higher risk group and 152 cases (63.6%) in lower risk group. The NRS2002 scores in higher risk group were significantly higher than those in lower risk group (P<0.05). There were no obvious differences in gender, BMI, family monthly income and presence or absence of smoking history between groups (P>0.05). The higher risk group had significantly higher rates of age>70 years old, education level (high school and below), living condition (living alone), severity of pneumonia (high-risk pneumonia), chronic disease, cognitive dysfunction and poor self-care ability than the lower risk group (P<0.05). Binary logistics regression analysis showed that age>70 years old , education level of high school and below, living condition (living alone), severity of pneumonia (high-risk pneumonia), chronic diseases, cognitive dysfunction and self-care ability (poor) were independent risk factors for nutritional risk in elderly CAP patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Elderly patients with CAP have high nutritional risk, which may be affected by many factors such as age, education level, living condition, severity of pneumonia, presence or absence of chronic diseases, cognitive dysfunction and self-care ability. It is necessary to formulate targeted intervention measures according to the above factors to improve the nutritional risk of patients.
