ObjectiveTo elucidate the effects of autonomic neuromodulators [calcium chloride (CaCl₂)-acetylcholine (ACh)] on atrial electrical remodeling and histopathological changes in rats, thereby providing evidence for further investigation into the pathological mechanisms by which autonomic imbalance induces atrial fibrillation (AF). MethodsTen 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into experimental and control groups, with 5 rats in each group. The experimental group received daily tail vein injections of a CaCl₂-ACh mixed solution for 28 days, while the control group received an equal volume of saline. Surface electrocardiograms were recorded before and after daily administration. On day 28 of administration, under isoflurane inhalation anesthesia, echocardiography was performed, and then the rats were euthanized by exsanguination under isoflurane anesthesia for tissue collection. Body weight and heart weight of rats were measured, and electrophysiological parameters including AF inducibility, conduction velocity, and conduction dispersion in isolated rat hearts were monitored using the MappingLab multichannel electrophysiological mapping system. HE staining was performed to evaluate atrial tissue architecture and inflammatory cell infiltration. The expression levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) were analyzed by Western blotting. Masson staining was used to quantitatively analyze the proportional distribution of collagen fibers and myocardial fibers, and to calculate the area of collagen deposition, thereby evaluating the degree of myocardial fibrosis. Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) staining was used to evaluate morphological changes of cardiomyocytes. Dihydroethidium (DHE) staining was used to detect the level of oxidative stress in atrial myocytes. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling (TUNEL) staining was used to detect atrial cell apoptosis. ResultsCompared with the control group, the experimental group showed obvious arrhythmias on electrocardiograms. Echocardiography after 28 days of administration revealed significant structural remodeling in the experimental group, with a marked increase in left atrial anteroposterior diameter (P < 0.05), and also showed cardiac dysfunction, with significant decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular fractional shortening (P < 0.01). Compared with the control group, the experimental group showed a significantly increased heart weight-to-body weight ratio (P < 0.05), a markedly higher AF inducibility (P < 0.001), a significantly slowed atrial conduction velocity (P < 0.05), an uneven isochronal map with irregular directions, and a significantly increased conduction dispersion (P < 0.01). HE staining showed that atrial myocytes in the experimental group were disorganized, with slight inflammatory cell infiltration. Western blotting showed that the expression levels of MMP-9 and IL-1β in the atrial tissue of the experimental group were significantly upregulated (P < 0.05). Masson staining showed a significant increase in collagen deposition and a significant increase in fibrosis area in the atrial tissue of the experimental group (P < 0.001). WGA staining showed that cardiomyocytes in the experimental group were significantly hypertrophied compared with the control group (P < 0.05). DHE staining and TUNEL staining revealed that the level of oxidative stress in atrial myocytes (P < 0.001) and the apoptotic rate (P < 0.01) were both significantly increased. Conclusion Daily tail vein injections of the autonomic neuromodulator CaCl₂-ACh mixed solution for 28 days can successfully induce AF in rats, accompanied by significant atrial structural remodeling, electrical remodeling, and oxidative stress.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2026;47(2):168-172
Objective:
To evaluate the current situation of thermal environment in primary and secondary school classrooms during winter, and to analyze students thermal comfort needs, so as to provide a basis for improving classroom thermal environment.
Methods:
From December 16 to 26, 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 90 classrooms from 15 primary and secondary schools in centralized/air conditioned heating areas(Liaoning Province, Tianjin City, Shanghai City) and naturally ventilated areas(Anhui Province and Jiangxi Province)for on site environmental measurement. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 743 students. The differences between groups using the χ 2 test were compared. Based on actual measurement data, a predicted mean vote prepared percentage of dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model for centralized/air conditioned classrooms and an adaptive model for naturally ventilated classrooms were established, and the thermal neutral temperature and comfort interval were calculated.
Results:
The average outdoor temperature during on site measurement was 4.00(0.20,7.00)℃. In classrooms with centralized or air conditioned heating systems, the measured average temperature was (19.33±2.59)℃, with a thermal comfort range of 20.35-25.35 ℃ and a thermal neutral temperature of 22.85 ℃. And 13.92% of students reported feeling cold, while 80.80% felt comfortable. In classrooms with natural ventilation, the measured average temperature was (12.26±1.83)℃, with a thermal neutral temperature of 19.67 ℃ and a thermal comfort range of 16.17-23.17 ℃. About 48.33% of students reported feeling cold, and 49.81 % felt comfortable.The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in shoe thickness, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between centralized/air conditioned heating areas ( χ 2= 7.01 , 31.47, 13.57, 13.80,all P <0.05). There were also statistically significant differences in school stage for primary and secondary school students, body mass index, classroom location for seat, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between naturally ventilated areas ( χ 2=42.13, 11.13, 11.04, 60.39, 29.27, 38.46,all P <0.05).
Conclusions
There are differences in thermal environment and students subjective thermal comfort in primary and secondary schools under different ventilation modes in winter. The temperature standards for heated classrooms should be revised, and differentiated environmental regulation strategies should be adopted based on different ventilation methods to improve students health and comfort levels.

The study focuses on the concept of multifunctional traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formulas and aims to evaluate the efficacy of the classical formula Xiaoyao San (逍遥散). Study employs the integrated evidence chain (Eff-iEC) method to organize, integrate, and evaluate its therapeutic efficacy in treating different diseases with the same therapy, and to investigate the feasibility of using Eff-iEC to evaluate the multifunctionality of TCM formulas. The evaluation covered Xiaoyao San's therapeutic effects on depression, premenstrual syndrome, chronic hepatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, and menopausal syndrome. Concurrently, the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) system was used for evaluation, and authoritative medical documents were incorporated to corroborate the recognition of Xiaoyao San within the medical community. Depression and menopausal syndrome received higher ratings than other conditions in the Eff-iEC, GRADE, and Medical Community Recognition assessments. The Eff-iEC evidence grade for Xiaoyao San was rated as "High" or above for chronic hepatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia, and menopausal syndrome. Premenstrual syndrome received a "Moderate +" rating. The GRADE evidence level was "Low-〇〇⨁⨁" for depression, premenstrual syndrome, and chronic hepatitis; "Moderate-〇⨁⨁⨁" for dyspepsia and menopausal syndrome; and "Very Low-〇〇〇⨁" for irritable bowel syndrome. Depression and menopausal syndrome had the highest inclusion frequency, appearing in all 4 categories. Premenstrual syndrome, chronic hepatitis, and dyspepsia are not recommended in Western medical guidelines, but they are included in TCM guidelines, the China National Basic Medical Insurance Drug List, and the China National Essential Drug List. Irritable bowel syndrome appears only in the China National Basic Medical Insurance Drug List and China National Essential Drug List. The evaluation results obtained using the Eff-iEC method align with Medical Community Recognition, providing an objective and comprehensive assessment of Xiaoyao San's efficacy. The findings suggest that Xiaoyao San has strong evidence for treating depression and menopausal syndrome. However, further experimental and clinical trials are needed to assess its efficacy in treating premenstrual syndrome, chronic hepatitis, irritable bowel syndrome, and dyspepsia. These results support the clinical efficacy and rational use of Xiaoyao San, expand the application scope of the Eff-iEC method, and offer valuable insights and methodological references for the comparative evaluation of multifunctional TCM formulas.

ObjectiveTo investigate the material basis and mechanism of action of Tuoli Xiaodu San in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) by integrating transcriptomics, network pharmacology, and experimental validation. MethodsNetwork pharmacology was initially employed to screen the active components and potential mechanisms of Tuoli Xiaodu San for treating UC. A UC mouse model was established by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) induction. The mice were divided into the following groups: normal, model, high-dose (11.3 g·kg-1) Tuoli Xiaodu San, low-dose (5.7 g·kg-1) Tuoli Xiaodu San, and positive control (mesalazine, 0.4 g·kg-1). Intragastric administration commenced on day 1 of modeling and continued for 7 consecutive days. The disease activity index (DAI) was assessed daily. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe colonic pathological changes. Serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Transcriptome sequencing was performed on mouse colonic tissues, and the results were integrated with network pharmacology findings for in-depth analysis of Tuoli Xiaodu San's potential mechanisms in treating UC. Finally, the expression of key genes and proteins in the identified signaling pathways were detected using Western blot and Real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultsThe combined analysis of network pharmacology and transcriptomics results showed that the multi-pathway network with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway as its core was the key mechanism of Tuoli Xiaodu San in the treatment of UC. Tuoli Xiaodu San administration significantly ameliorated weight loss, diarrhea, and bloody stools in UC mice, reduced the DAI scores (P<0.05, P<0.01), lowered the colonic histopathological scores (P<0.01), alleviated colon shortening (P<0.01), and downregulated serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Molecular biology experiments confirmed that Tuoli Xiaodu San significantly inhibited the mRNA and protein expression, as well as the phosphorylation levels, of PI3K, Akt, and p65 in colonic tissues (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionTuoli Xiaodu San can regulate the multi-pathway network with PI3K/Akt as its core through multi-component synergy, thereby reducing colonic inflammatory damage and exerting a therapeutic effect on UC.

Annals of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery 2026;30(1):91-98
Background:
s/Aims: Postoperative pancreatic fistulas (POPF) remain a major cause of morbidity and mortality following pancreatoduodenectomy (PD). Pancreatogastrostomy (PG) and pancreatojejunostomy (PJ) are the two most commonly used reconstruction techniques, yet evidence favoring one over the other is inconclusive. This study evaluates postoperative outcomes following open PD at a single institution that transitioned from PG to PJ as the preferred reconstruction method.
Methods:
This retrospective comparative study included patients who underwent PD between April 2005 and August 2022. Of 757 patients identified, 522 met the inclusion criteria. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to adjust for clinically relevant covariates. Primary endpoints were clinically relevant (CR) POPF (grade B/C) and Clavien–Dindo (CD) grade ≥ 3 POPFs. Secondary outcomes included post-pancreatectomy hemorrhage (PPH), delayed gastric emptying (DGE), systemic complications, length of hospital stay, and mortality.
Results:
Overall, CR-POPF and CD grade ≥ 3 POPFs occurred in 21.3% and 8.0% of patients, respectively. Thirty-day and in-hospital mortality rates were 3.1% and 4.2%. After PSM, 368 patients (184 PG and 184 PJ) were analyzed. Grade B POPFs were more frequent following PJ than PG (24.5% vs. 15.8%, p < 0.001). Although CR-POPF and CD grade ≥ 3 POPFs were numerically higher in the PJ group, differences were not statistically significant. In contrast, DGE, PPH, and in-hospital mortality were significantly higher following PG (37.0% vs. 25.0%, p = 0.025; 16.3% vs. 8.7%, p = 0.025; and 7.6% vs. 2.7%, p = 0.049, respectively).
Conclusions
PG was associated with a lower incidence of grade B POPFs but higher rates of DGE, PPH, and in-hospital mortality.

ObjectiveTo investigate the antiviral efficacy of pegylated interferon α-2b (PEG-IFN-α-2b) in patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis, to assess the safety and tolerability of this regimen, and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for optimizing the treatment strategies for patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis. MethodsA prospective study was conducted among 115 patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis and 114 patients with CHB who attended Third People’s Hospital of Taiyuan from January 2023 to March 2024. Treatment-naïve patients received PEG-IFN-α-2b monotherapy, while the patients once treated with nucleos(t)ide analogues (NAs) received PEG-IFN-α-2b add-on therapy. The patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis were followed up at baseline and at 12, 24, 36, and 48 weeks of treatment. Samples were collected from CHB patients at baseline and at the end of follow-up to assess virological indicators, routine blood test results, and liver function. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups; the independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the one-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used for comparison among different time ponts within the same group,and the Bonferroni was applied for post-hoc pairwise comparisons; the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups, and the Friedman test was used for comparison across different time points within the same group, and the Nemenyi test was utilized for subsequent pairwise comparisons. The multivariate stepwise Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for clinical cure. ResultsCompared with the CHB group, the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had a significantly higher mean age (43.50±9.97 years vs 40.90±8.16 years, t=2.160, P=0.032), a significantly higher proportion of patients with hepatitis B e antigen at baseline (28.70% vs 15.79%, χ2=4.788, P=0.029), and a significantly lower platelet level [(178.67±55.07)×109/L vs (194.93±55.79)×109/L, t=2.217, P=0.028]. Compared with the CHB group at the end of follow-up, the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had significantly lower HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) clearance rate (10.38% vs 33.04%, χ2=14.988, P<0.001) and HBV surface antibody positive rate (0.00% vs 19.64%, χ2=21.041, P<0.001). Compared with the CHB group at the end of follow-up,the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had significantly lower aminotransferase levels [ALT: 31.00(19.00~47.50) U/L vs 40.00(27.00~57.00) U/L, Z=2.433, P<0.05; AST: 31.00(23.00~45.50) U/L vs 37.00(25.00~52.00) U/L, Z=1.963, P<0.05], but significantly higher level of white blood cells (WBC) [(4.02±1.56)×109/L vs (3.59±1.24)×109/L, t=2.272, P<0.05], neutrophils [(2.39±1.17)×109/L vs (1.87±0.94)×109/L, t=3.284, P<0.05], and platelets [(143.93±68.10)×109/L vs (121.88±49.72)×109/L, t=2.588, P<0.05]. A lower level of HBsAg (OR=0.997, 95%CI: 0.996 — 0.999, P<0.001) and previous treatment with NAs (OR=5.889, 95%CI: 2.195 — 17.330, P<0.001) were positive predictive factors for clinical cure, while liver cirrhosis (OR=0.177, 95%CI: 0.063 — 0.470, P<0.001) was a negative predictive factor for clinical cure. During follow-up, no patients experienced acute decompensation or progression to hepatocellular carcinoma, and the main adverse events included fever, fatigue, reductions in WBC and platelets, weight loss, alopecia, and thyroid dysfunction. In the subgroup analysis of HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis, in both the treatment-naïve patients and the patients previously treated with NAs, there was a significant reduction in HBsAg level from baseline to week 36 of treatment [treatment-naïve: 99.25 (5.87 — 1 212.35) IU/mL vs 403.47 (36.94 — 2 569.02) IU/mL, P<0.05; previously treated with NAs: 205.94 (14.00 — 737.80) IU/mL vs 427.03 (65.64 — 1 552.65) IU/mL, P<0.05] and week 48 of treatment [treatment-naïve: 85.45 (0.58 — 827.56) IU/mL vs 403.47 (36.94 — 2 569.02) IU/mL, P<0.05; previously treated with NAs: 45.28 (0.16 — 267.27) IU/mL vs 427.03 (65.64 — 1 552.65) IU/mL, P<0.05]. There were significant increases in the levels of aminotransferases during treatment, as well as significant reductions in the levels of WBC, neutrophils, platelets, and hemoglobin (all P<0.05). ConclusionAlthough a finite course of PEG-IFN-α-2b therapy has achieved a relatively low rate of clinical cure in the treatment of HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis, it can still significantly reduce the level of HBsAg, and this treatment regimen has good safety and tolerability, without accelerating disease progression.

AIM: To analyze the factors affecting non-contact intraocular pressure(IOPNCT)measurements after femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE), explore the correlation of IOPNCT with central corneal thickness(CCT)and corneal curvature after SMILE, and construct the corresponding regression model which will provide scientific basis for clinical evaluation of the true IOP of patients after SMILE.METHODS: Data from a retrospective analysis of 107 myopic patients(206 eyes)who underwent SMILE and 107 myopic patients(201 eyes)received femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)surgery from June 2023 to May 2024 were examined. IOPNCT, CCT, and corneal curvature before surgery and at 1 and 3 mo were collected. The preoperative and postoperative IOPNCT, CCT and corneal curvature were analyzed by ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression models were constructed to evaluate the association of postoperative changes of IOPNCT, CCT and corneal curvature.RESULTS: There were significant differences in IOPNCT, CCT, and corneal curvature of both SMILE and FS-LASIK patients(all P<0.001), there was no significant difference between two groups and interaction effects(all P>0.05), and the IOPNCT, CCT and corneal curvature at 1 and 3 mo post-surgery were significantly lower than preoperative(all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between IOPNCT and CCT at 1 and 3 mo after SMILE(r=0.261, 0.267, all P<0.001), but no significant correlation with corneal curvature(all P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis of IOPNCT with CCT and corneal curvature at 1 mo after SMILE indicated that the regression equation was: Y=3.426+0.019X1-0.058X2(Y represents IOPNCT, X1 represents the CCT, and X2 represents the corneal curvature), with statistical significant difference in the equation(F=7.654, P=0.001); the regression equation for 3 mo after surgery was: Y=2.056+0.020X1-0.038 X2(Y represents IOPNCT, X1 represents the CCT, and X2 represents the corneal curvature), with statistically significance in the equation(F=7.903, P<0.001). The regression equation of postoperative IOPNCT change(△IOPNCT)and intraoperative cutting corneal thickness(△CCT)and corneal curvature at 1 mo was Y=-2.252+0.008X1+0.587X2(Y represents △IOPNCT, X1 stands for the △CCT, X2 represents the corneal curvature change value), with statistical significant difference in the equation(F=17.550, P<0.001); the regression equation for 3 mo after surgery was: Y=-2.168+0.024X1+0.281X2(Y represents △IOPNCT, X1 represents △CCT, X2 indicates the corneal curvature change values), with statistical significant difference in the equation(F=16.030, P<0.001).CONCLUSION: After SMILE and FS-LASIK surgery, the IOPNCT value of patients was mainly affected by CCT compared with preoperative surgery, and the short-term use of hormone eye drops, fluorometholone, did not cause a significant increase in IOP; both the IOP correction formula at 1 and 3 mo postoperatively can be used clinically to evaluate and correct actual IOP in patients after SMILE.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
