Alzheimer's disease （AD） is a common type of dementia， primarily characterized by cognitive and behavioral impairments as well as deficits in learning and memory. The progression of AD has imposed a significant economic burden on society and families. However， its exact pathogenesis has not yet been fully elucidated. Currently， available therapeutic drugs are limited and are often accompanied by serious adverse effects. Traditional Chinese medicines （TCMs） and their extracts are mostly natural products and possess advantages such as multi-pathway regulation and relatively few adverse reactions. Experimental studies have shown that TCMs exhibit great potential in the prevention and treatment of AD. For example， Huanglian Jieduang， Danggui Shaoyaosan， Kaixin San， Liuwei Dihuangwan， Buyang Huanwutang， as well as Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Astragali Radix， Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis， Coptidis Rhizoma， Gardeniae Fructus， Ginkgo Folium， Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and Curcumae Longae Rhizoma， can reduce β-amyloid deposition， inhibit excessive Tau protein phosphorylation， restore mitochondrial function， alleviate oxidative stress， suppress neuroinflammation and apoptosis， repair synaptic function， and improve gut microbiota. This article mainly summarizes the effects of several TCMs and compound prescriptions on AD， aiming to provide a reference for subsequent TCM-based treatment of AD.

ObjectiveTo explore the microbiological characteristics of Staphylococcus epidermidis with hemolytic phenotype （SEHP）. MethodsHemolytic phenotype was detected using the three-point inoculation method， involving a total of 5 strains of SEHP and 5 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis with non-hemolytic phenotype （SENHP） . Bacterial species were identified using the Microflex LT MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer， and a phylogenetic tree was constructed through 16S rRNA sequence alignment. Growth curves were monitored through the microcultivation assay. Biofilm formation ability was assessed by microplate crystal violet staining. Red blood cell toxicity was detected using the microplate method. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of SEHP and SENHP against commonly used antibiotics was performed using a VITEK 2 GP639 test kit. Antagonistic effects of SEHP and SENHP against Staphylococcus aureus and Corynebacterium striatum were evaluated by the Oxford cup inhibition assay. ResultsCompared with SENHP， SEHP exhibited a marked decrease in growth rate during the late logarithmic phase， accompanied by significant hemolytic toxicity. Additionally， it showed lower resistance rates to levofloxacin and moxifloxacin， and could antagonize Staphylococcus aureus and Corynebacterium striatum. ConclusionThe microbiological characteristics of SEHP differ from those of SENHP in that SEHP demonstrates antagonistic effects against S. aureus and C. striatum.

OBJECTIVE To establish a “BRAND” pharmaceutical care model for advanced non-small cell lung cancer （NSCLC） patients with positive driver genes， providing theoretical and practical references for the clinical implementation of precise and individualized oncology pharmaceutical care. METHODS One hundred patients admitted to the department of pulmonary and critical care medicine in our hospital from January 2023 to May 2024 were collected meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were randomly divided into control group and intervention group， with 50 patients in each group. The control group received routine pharmaceutical care， while the intervention group received pharmaceutical care under the “BRAND” model （collecting patients’ basic information， reviewing disease treatment-related information， conducting precise medication assessments， formulating individualized pharmaceutical care plans for the next steps， and implementing medication guidance and follow-up management）. The study was conducted in a 3-week cycle for a total of 4 cycles. The medication compliance， quality of life， laboratory test indicators， incidence of drug-related adverse events and satisfaction of patients in both groups were compared before and after the intervention to evaluate the effects. RESULTS After 12 weeks of intervention， compared with the control group， the medication compliance， cognitive function， social function and satisfaction of patients in the intervention group were improved significantly （ P ＜0.05）； the severity of fatigue and constipation and the incidence of drug-related adverse events were significantly reduced （ P ＜0.05）， and there was no statistically significant difference in laboratory test indicators （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The “BRAND” pharmaceutical care model can effectively improve the medication compliance of patients with advanced NSCLC with positive driver genes and improve their quality of life. This study can provide a feasible path for clinical pharmacists to carry out standardized and high-quality pharmaceutical care.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of clinical pharmacists participating in the treatment of chronic heart failure （CHF） based on the clinical pharmacy pathway （CPP）. METHODS Totally 226 CHF patients recruited from August 24th， 2024 to March 14th， 2025， were divided into an observation group and a control group based on the random number table method， with 113 cases in each group. All patients were treated with conventional therapy. The observation group was additionally given CPP management （including pharmaceutical care during hospitalization， the formulation of individualized discharge medication regimens， and pharmaceutical follow-up after discharge）. The cardiac function parameters at admission， at discharge， at 3 and 6 months after discharge， drug use at 6 months after discharge， economic indicators， as well as the readmission rate and mortality rate at 6 months after discharge were compared between the two groups. Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 Items （MMAS-8）， Somatic Self-rating Scale （SSS） and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 （PHQ-9） scores were compared at admission， at discharge and at 3 and 6 months after discharge. RESULTS Six months after discharge， 24 patients dropped out. Eventually， 104 patients in the observation group and 98 patients in the control group completed the study. Compared with at admission， New York Heart Association （NYHA） cardiac functional classification， left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and N -terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide （NT-proBNP） of both groups of patients at discharge as well as at 3 and 6 months after discharge were significantly improved； moreover， the improvements at 3 and 6 months after discharge were significantly better than those at discharge. Meanwhile， the above indexes （except for NYHA cardiac functional classification at discharge， NT-proBNP and NYHA cardiac functional classification at 3 months after discharge） of the observation group at discharge， at 3 and 6 months after discharge were significantly better than the control group （ P ＜0.05）. The utilization rates of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor （ACEI）/angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker （ARB）/angiotensin receptor neprilysin inhibitor （ARNI）， the proportion of β-blockers reaching the target dose， the utilization rate of sodium-glucose linked transporter 2 inhibitor （SGLT2i）， and the proportion of SGLT2i reaching the target dose in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group （ P ＜0.05）， and the proportion of drugs and readmission rate were significantly lower than the control group （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with at admission， MMAS-8 scores of the patients in the observation group at discharge， at 3 and 6 months after discharge were significantly increased， while SSS and PHQ-9 scores were significantly lowered （ P ＜0.05）. And all the above scores gradually decreas ed with the extension of discharge time （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Clinical pharmacists can utilize CPP to significantly improve patients’ cardiac function， medication adherence， somatic symptoms and depression. Additionally， they can significantly improve the utilization rates of ACEI/ARB/ARNI and SGLT2i， as well as the proportion of target doses of β-blockers and SGLT2i， while simultaneously reducing readmission rates.

BACKGROUND:Psoralen has a strong anti-osteoporotic activity and may have a restorative effect on chemotherapy-induced osteoporosis. OBJECTIVE:To explore the restorative effect of psoralen on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice inhibited by cyclophosphamide and its mechanism. METHODS:C57BL/6 mouse bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells were isolated and cultured.Effect of psoralen on viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells was detected by MTT assay.Osteogenic induction combined with alkaline phosphatase staining was used to determine the optimal dose of psoralen to restore the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells inhibited by cyclophosphamide.The mRNA expression levels of Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin,osteoprotegerin,and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway-related genes Wnt1,Wnt4,Wnt10b,β-catenin,and c-MYC were measured by RT-qPCR at different time points under the intervention with psoralen.The protein expression of osteogenic specific transcription factor Runx2 and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway related genes Active β-catenin,DKK1,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 was determined by western blot assay at different time points under the intervention with psoralen. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)There was no significant effect of different concentrations of psoralen on the viability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.The best recovery of the inhibition of osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide was under the intervention of psoralen at a concentration of 200 μmol/L.(2)Psoralen reversed the reduction in osteogenic differentiation marker genes Runx2,alkaline phosphatase,Osteocalcin and osteoprotegerin mRNA expression and Runx2 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(3)Psoralen reversed the decrease in Wnt/β-catenin pathway-related genes Wnt4,β-catenin,c-MYC mRNA and Active β-catenin,c-MYC,and Cyclin D1 protein expression and the increase in DKK1 protein expression in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells caused by cyclophosphamide conditioned medium.(4)The results showed that cyclophosphamide inhibited osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in mice,and psoralen had a restorative effect on it.The best intervention effect was achieved at a concentration of 200 μmol/L psoralen,and this protective effect might be related to the activation of Wnt4/β-catenin signaling pathway by psoralen.

[Objective] To explore the clinical significance and application value of establishing a database for red blood cell alloantibody detection. [Methods] Patients who were scheduled for blood transfusion in our hospital from January 1, 2020 to May 1, 2024 were selected as the research subjects. A red blood cell alloantibody detection database was established using Microsoft Office Excel software to register the detection data of patients' alloantibodies and antibodies of undetermined specificity (AUS). A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical characteristics, antibody distribution, antibody decay and repeat positivity of the patients in the database. The LISS-IAT method was routinely used for antibody screening and identification. [Results] Among the alloantibodies, the Rh blood group system had the highest detection rate, followed by antibodies of the MNS blood group system and the Lewis blood group system. The predominant antibody in the Rh blood group system was anti-E. In the univariate analysis, the positivity of antibody was significantly associated with the patient's gender, age, blood transfusion history, pregnancy history and type of disease (all P<0.001). In the database, 48 patients experienced antibody decay, accounting for 15.24%(48/315), with an average time span of antibody decay ranging from 22 to 1 324 days. Six cases showed repeat positivity after decay, which were related to blood transfusions. The shortest interval between blood transfusions that led to antibody repeat positivity was 3 days, and the longest interval was 427 days. Among 58 cases with AUS, 3 converted into alloantibodies, among which 2 were anti-E and 1 was anti-Lea. [Conclusion] Establishing a red blood cell alloantibody detection database is an effective way to guide ambiguous cross-matching in clinical practice and is also an effective measure for the management of transfusion risks.

ObjectiveTo assess the risk of vector-born infectious diseases by monitoring the major vectors in the relevant venues of the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games in Fuyang competition area, so as to provide references for the prevention and control of vector in similar large-scale events or activities in the future. MethodsFrom April to October 2023, monitoring and evaluation of rodent, mosquito, fly and cockroach density levels were carried out in various venues and reception hotels in Fuyang competition area (venues and hotels were the 1st circle area, and various environments and places in the surrounding 500 meters were the 2nd circle area). SPSS 25.0 software was used to analyze the data, and chi-square test or Fisher’s precision probability test were used to calculate the qualified rate and positive rate. Moreover, the path index, landing index and Bretrau index were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis H test. ResultsThe control effect of vector density in the 1st circle was significantly better than that in the 2nd circle. Since September, the monitoring indices of the venues in the two circles had reached the national A-level and B-level standard, respectively. The positive rate of rodent traces generally showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing, and the peak was shown to occur in July and August, with the highest rate of 5.38%. The qualified rate of rodent prevention facilities continued to rise, and facilities in the 1st and 2nd circles had reached national A-level and B-level standard respectively in late August. The landing index and path index of mosquitoes basically showed a changing trend from high to low, with the highest landing index of 4.56 individuals·person-time^-1 and the highest path index of 2.44 places·km^-1.The adult fly infestation rate remained at a low level, with the highest rate of 4.17%, and the minimum qualified rate of fly prevention facilities was 28.57%, which reached the national standard after July. The positive detection rates of adult flies and cockroach traces showed no significant pattern, with the highest rate of 7.00% and 8.33%, respectively. The detection rate of live ootheca was always at a low level. ConclusionThe relevant venues in the Fuyang competition area of the 19th Asian Games in Hangzhou meet national standards in terms of vector control indicators such as rodents, mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches and other vectors. By means of environmental improvement, facilities for preventing rodents and flies, and deepening biological and chemical prevention and control methods, it can be ensured that there will be no vector-borne diseases and infestation incidents during the event.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the effects of different sizes of seedlings and melatonin treatment on physiological and biochemical indicators and bolting-related gene expression in Angelica sinensis， find substances related to early bolting， and elucidate the inhibitory mechanism of melatonin on bolting. MethodsSpectrophotometry was used to detect the related enzyme activities of A. sinensis leaves. The contents of endogenous hormones and polyamines were detected using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Real-time polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the expression levels of bolting-related genes. Inter-group differential indicator analysis， orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis， and principal component analysis were comprehensively applied to identify factors related to early bolting. ResultsEndogenous jasmonic acid and melatonin were identified as the most important factors affecting early bolting. Secondly， the activity of antioxidant enzymes， abscisic acid content， gibberellin content， and the expression levels of CO3， HD3A， and FD genes had important effects on the bolting process. Compared with small seedlings， exogenous melatonin treatment mainly inhibited early bolting by increasing endogenous melatonin content， reducing gibberellin content， and decreasing the expression levels of SOC1 and FD genes. ConclusionExogenous melatonin can inhibit early bolting in A. sinensis by regulating its physiological， biochemical， and gene expression levels.

Objective: To explore the association between negative life events and smartphone addiction among middle school students, so as to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for prevention and intervention of smartphone addiction among middle school students. Methods: Using cluster sampling, 8 890 students were selected to survey from 27 junior high schools and 3 senior high schools in a district of Shenzhen in 2022 (baseline) and 2023 (followup). Data were collected through selfresigned questionnaires on basic information, the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version, and the Adolescent Selfrating Life Events Checklist. Mixedeffects models were employed to analyze the association. Results: Compared to 2022, the punishment scores of middle school students in 2023 [1.00 (0.00, 6.00) and 1.00 (0.00, 6.00)] decreased (Z=4.27), while the scores of interpersonal stress, learning stress and adaptation [4.00(0.00, 8.00), 4.00(0.00, 8.00); 4.00(1.00, 8.00), 5.00(2.00, 9.00); 2.00 (0.00, 6.00), 3.00 (0.00, 7.00)] increased (Z=-3.04, -8.36, -6.80) (P<0.01). Mixedeffects models revealed a positive doseresponse relationship between negative life events and smartphone addiction (OR=1.08-1.17, P<0.01). Stepwise regression showed independent positive effects of interpersonal stress (OR=1.05), academic stress (OR=1.03), and adaptation stress (OR=1.11) on smartphone addiction (P<0.01). Subgroup analysis of nonaddicted students in 2022 confirmed persistent associations for academic stress (OR=1.03) and adaptation (OR=1.07) (P<0.01). Conclusion Negative life events exhibit a positive doseresponse relationship with smartphone addiction, particularly interpersonal stress, academic stress, and adaptationrelated events.
