This paper systematically reviews the core concepts and lines of theoretical inheritance of major spleen-stomach theories in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， including spleen deficiency theory， spleen-stomach damp-heat theory， and liver-spleen disharmony theory. It is found that these theories have all undergone a developmental trajectory characterized by classical foundation， refinement of therapeutic methods， systematization of pathogenesis， and modern innovation. The evolution of spleen-stomach theory has achieved a shift from a singular focus on tonifying the spleen to regulating dynamic middle-jiao （焦） balance， and from localized spleen-stomach regulation to the circular movement of qi involving all five zang organs. In terms of modern disease-syndrome integrative research， spleen deficiency syndrome is shown to be closely associated with impairment of the gastrointestinal mucosal barrier， metabolic disorders， and gene polymorphisms related to Helicobacter pylori-associated gastric diseases. Spleen-stomach damp-heat syndrome is closely linked to hyperactive energy metabolism， inflammatory cytokines， and abnormal expression of aquaporins. Liver-spleen disharmony syndrome is mainly associated with dysregulation of the brain-gut axis and microbiota-related metabolic disorders. It is proposed that future research on spleen-stomach diseases and syndromes should further elucidate their potential multidimensional differential biological characteristics， thereby promoting the modernization of the TCM discipline of spleen-stomach studies.

Objective: To explore the interrelationships between mental vulnerability, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and positive psychological capital in medical postgraduates, so as to provide precise intervention targets for mental health services in universities. Methods: From April to June 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1 461 medical postgraduates from three colleges in Hubei Province. Participants were assessed using the Mental Vulnerability Questionnaire (MVQ), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Chinese Version (CERQ-C) and the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ). The network analysis model was constructed using a Gaussian graphical model. Results: The network analysis revealed that the edge connection between somatic symptoms and mental symptoms was the strongest, followed by the connection between refocus on planning and positive reappraisal within cognitive emotion regulation, with edge weights of 0.69 and 0.59, respectively. Interpersonal problems within psychological vulnerability exhibited the highest expected influence( EI =1.27), serving as the core node of the network. Rumination within cognitive emotion regulation demonstrated the highest bridge expected influence( BEI =0.33), playing a critical connecting role among psychological vulnerability, cognitive emotion regulation, and positive psychological capital. Conclusion In the mental health network of medical postgraduates, mental vulnerability, cognitive emotion regulation, and positive psychological capital interact through their respective key dimensions, jointly affect overall mental health.

Vaccination is a crucial strategy for the prevention and control of infectious diseases. Virus-like particles (VLPs), composed of structural proteins, have garnered significant attention as a novel type of vaccine due to their excellent safety and immunogenicity. However, similar to most vaccine antigens, VLPs exhibit insufficient thermal stability, which not only restricts the widespread application of vaccines but also increases the risk of vaccine inactivation. This study aims to enhance the stability and shelf life of VLPs derived from type A foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) by employing vacuum freeze-drying technology. The optimal lyoprotectant formulation was determined through single-factor and combinatorial screening. Subsequently, the correlation between the immunogenicity of the freeze-dried vaccine and the content of FMDV VLPs was evaluated via a mouse model. The stability of FMDV VLPs before and after freeze-drying was further assessed by storing them at 4, 25, and 37 ℃ for varying time periods. Results indicated that the lyoprotectant formulation No.1, composed of 7.5% trehalose, 0.1% Tween 80, 50 mmol/L glycine, 1% sodium glutamate, and 3% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), effectively preserved the content of FMDV VLPs during the vacuum freeze-drying process. The immunization trial in mice revealed that the levels of specific antibodies, immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1), interleukin-4 (IL-4), and neutralizing antibodies induced by freeze-dried FMDV VLPs were comparable to those induced by non-freeze-dried FMDV VLPs. The heat treatment results showed that the storage periods of freeze-dried FMDV VLPs at 4, 25, and 37 ℃ were significantly longer than those of non-freeze-dried FMDV VLPs. In conclusion, the selected lyoprotectant formulation effectively improved the stability of FMDV VLPs vaccines. This study provides valuable insights for enhancing the stability of novel subunit vaccines.

Pseudorabies (PR) is an infectious disease caused by the pseudorabies virus (PRV), affecting various domesticated and wild animals. Since pigs are the only natural hosts of PRV, PR poses a serious threat to the pig farming industry. Currently, PR is primarily prevented through vaccination with inactivated vaccines or genetically modified attenuated live vaccines. Developing safe and effective genetically engineered vaccines would facilitate the eradication and control of PR. In this study, the PRV vaccine strain Bartha-K61 was used as the reference strain. The gB protein was expressed via the baculovirus-insect cell expression system. Non-denaturing gel electrophoresis confirmed that the gB protein could form a trimeric structure. The purified gB protein was used to immunize mice, and the immune effect was evaluated by a challenge test. The results showed that the gB antigen induced a strong immune response in mice, with the serum-neutralizing antibody titer above 1:70. The lymphocyte stimulation index reached more than 1.29, and the level of (interferon gamma, IFN-γ) release was higher than 100 pg/mL. After immunization, mice were challenged with the virus at a dose of 10⁴ TCID₅₀/mL, 200 μL per mouse, and the clinical protection rate was 100%. Immunohistochemistry, histopathological section, and tissue viral load results showed that the pathological damage and viral load in the gB-immunized group were significantly lower than those in the PBS group. In summary, the gB protein obtained in this study induced strong humoral and cellular immune responses in mice, laying a foundation for developing a recombinant gB protein subunit vaccine.

Rho proteins and the Rho-associated protein kinase(ROCK)signaling pathway are cruci-al components of intracellular signaling cascades.Rho proteins,which belong to the small GTPase family,play a pivotal role in regulating essential elements of the cytoskeleton within cells.ROCK functions as a downstream effector protein kinase of Rho,modulating various biological processes,including cell morphology,migration,and proliferation.Recent studies have underscored the signifi-cance of the ROCK signaling pathway in the replication of a diverse group of viruses.Furthermore,it has been discovered that some viruses disrupt cellular contraction,adhesion,and migration through the Rho/ROCK pathway,subsequently influencing the immune response triggered by vi-ral infections and affecting the tight junctions between cells.This article primarily reviews the re-search progress regarding the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway and its key signaling molecules,Rho and ROCK,in terms of their activation and regulation of viral replication and tight junction pro-teins between cells.

Li-Fraumeni syndrome(LFS)is a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder.Patients with LFS tend to develop tumors at a young age and are at risk of multiple types of cancer.The core pathogenic mechanism of LFS is germline mutation of the TP53 gene,which leads to loss of function of the p53 protein and an increase in the risk of tumor development.There are many tumor types closely related to LFS,including soft tissue sarcoma,osteosarcoma,brain tumors,breast cancer,and adrenocortical carcinoma.Although some common mutation sites of the TP53 gene in LFS patients have been identified,there are still differences in mutation sites among different patients,and the type of TP53 gene mutation may affect the clinical manifestations and prognosis of patients.Therefore,genetic testing for LFS patients to determine the specific mutation form of TP53 is of great significance.This article reviews the clinical patho-logical characteristics,treatment methods,and prognosis of LFS-related tumor patients,aiming to provide useful refer-ences for clinical practice.

Purpose To investigate the differential expression of proteins secreted by diffuse-type gastric cancer-associated fibroblasts(DGC-CAFs)and intestinal-type gastric cancer-associated fibroblasts(IGC-CAFs)according to Lauren classification of gastric cancer.Methods Fresh surgery samples were acquired to extract primary cancer-asso-ciated fibroblasts(CAFs)to obtain the conditional medium,including three cases of diffuse-type gastric cancer(DGC)and three cases of intestinal-type gastric cancer(IGC).Then high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS)was used to detect the differences in secreted factors between DGC-CAFs and IGC-CAFs.Additionally,a total of 1 174 cases were collected from the GEO and TCGA databases,and the distribution of stromal cells was assessed via ESTIMATE to derive stromal scores for both DGC and GC.Furthermore,Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between high stromal scores,elevated CAFs proportions,and patient prognosis.Subsequently,GO enrichment analysis was performed to investigate associated genes and their bi-ological functions.Results HPLC-MS/MS analysis showed that only 10 proteins were identified to be expressed in both DGC-CAFs and IGC-CAFs,namely SPARC,COL6A1,COL1A2,COL1A1,COL3A1,FN1,DCN,ACTG1,TIMP1 and SHROOM3.There were 8 proteins expressed higher in DGC-CAFs than IGC-CAFs in all cases with ratio＞2,namely COL3A1(5.28),COL1A2(3.98),DCN(3.71),TIMP1(3.40),COL6A1(3.35),ACTG1(3.13),COL1A1(2.84)and SHROOM3(2.50).Two other proteins,TUBB and BASP1,were identified in all three cases of DGC-CAFs.The former was only identified in one case of IGC-CAFs,while the latter was not identified in all three cases of IGC-CAFs.The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that the stromal score of DGC was higher than IGC,which correlated with poor prognosis.Analysis of cell components revealed that the related genes were more enriched in ECM,collagen-containing extracellular matrix and cell-cell junction.Also,the biological process and molecular function was based on the components,which was consistent with HPLC-MS/MS analysis results.Conclusion There are differ-ences in secreted proteins of DGC-CAFs and IGC-CAFs,both on the types and the content.The differential proteins are mostly enriched in ECM-related signaling pathways.Presumably,the high content of CAFs in the stroma affects the prognosis of gastric cancer patients by influencing the gene expression and the function of receptor pathway of ECM.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in bus drivers in Zhuhai City, analyze the ergonomic factors, and explore the prevention and control measures of WMSDs.Methods:From March to May 2023, 1675 active bus drivers from 5 branches of a bus group in Zhuhai were selected by stratified sampling method. The incidence of WMSDs among bus drivers in the past 12 months was investigated by using the modified Chinese Version of Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire. The influencing factors of WMSDs were analyzed by χ2 test and generalized linear model. Results:The total incidence of WMSDs in bus drivers in the past 12 months was 47.2% (790/1675) , and the incidence of WMSDs in neck and shoulder and lower back was 36.9% (618/1675) and 31.7% (531/1675) , respectively. The χ2 test showed that there were statistically significant differences in the incidence of WMSDs among bus drivers with different individual factors such as body mass index (BMI) , physical exercise and looking down at mobile phones ( P<0.05) . There were significant differences in the incidence of WMSDs in the neck and shoulder of bus drivers with different years of service and number of stops on their routes ( P<0.05) . There were statistically significant differences in the incidence of WMSDs in the lower back of bus drivers with different one-way driving time, shift patterns, and rest breaks during work ( P<0.05) . Abnormal BMI, professional working years >12 years, uncomfortable working posture, frequent turning, slightly forward neck posture, large forward neck posture and long shoulder posture were the risk factors for WMSDs of bus drivers ( P<0.05) , and comfortable seat was the protective factor ( P<0.05) . One-way driving time >70 min, shift work schedules, uncomfortable working posture, slightly forward back posture, and frequent turning were the risk factors leading to lower back WMSDs ( P<0.05) , and physical exercise, comfortable driving cabin space, and seat comfort were the protective factors ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The total incidence of WMSDs in bus drivers is higher, and ergonomic factors are related to the occurrence of WMSDs. In the implementation of bus driving space comfort, human-computer interaction interface friendliness and seat comfort, employers should be reasonable allocation of fitness facilities, regular training, reasonable shift organization and other measures to prevent and control the occurrence of bus drivers WMSDs.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of family-based interventions for adolescent suicide pre-vention using meta-analytic methods.Methods:A meta-analysis was conducted by searching CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,Web of Science,PubMed,APA PsycInfo and The Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials of family-based interventions for adolescent suicide prevention.Results:A total of 15 RCTs involving 2541 cases were conclu-ded.The results of meta-analysis showed that family-based therapy was effective in preventing adolescent suicide(95％CI:-0.76--0.09,P＜0.05),with a medium effect size for the intervention(g=-0.42),in which there was a significant effect on reducing suicidal ideation(SMD=-0.77,95％CI:-1.31--0.23,P＜0.05),and the effect on reducing suicide attempts was not significant(OR=0.87,95％CI:0.68-1.11,P＞0.05).Family-based therapies were most effective in adolescent suicide prevention when the duration of the intervention was 12 weeks or more,when they were based on attachment-based family therapy(ABFT)or resource support and safety plans,and when they had a reasonably high dropout rate(Ps＜0.05).Conclusion:Family-based therapy has significant inter-vention effects on adolescent suicide prevention,and intervention effects on suicidal ideation are superior to those on suicide attempts.
