Objective To study the mini-character and microscopic features of Plantago asiatica from different populations and summarize the exclusive features to provide a reference for the effective identification of Plantago asiatica. Methods Stereomicroscope and optical microscope were used to identify 30 batches of Plantago asiatica from different populations.The similarities and differences in mini-character and microscopic features of Plantago asiatica among different populations were identified. Results The differences in mini character between the Plantago asiatica from different populations were mainly reflected in whether there was fluff on the surface of leaves, inflorescence peduncles, and persistent sepals, as well as whether the epidermis of fibrous roots was flaky. The differences in microscopic characteristics between the Plantago asiatica from different populations were mainly reflected in the number of non-glandular hairs on the leaf surface, the shape of the petiole endothelial layer cells, and the number of large vascular bundles, and the number of layers of mesophyll palisade tissue cells, etc. Conclusion Plantago asiatica from different populations can be identified through mini-character and microscopic; by comparing the relevant identification features, which can provide a basis for revising and improving the standards of Plantago asiatica.

BackgroundIndividuals with chronic multimorbidity exhibit a high prevalence of sleep disturbances， which impair their physical and psychological well-being and impede chronic disease management. Although sleep quality is closely influencing with psychological functioning， empirical evidence regarding the longitudinal trajectories of sleep quality and their influencing factors in this population remains insufficient. ObjectiveTo investigate the longitudinal trajectories of sleep quality and associated factors among patients with chronic multimorbidity from hospitalization through 6 months post-discharge， aiming to facilitate the early identification of high-risk individuals and the development of personalized sleep interventions. MethodsA total of 228 inpatients with chronic multimorbidity， primarily with cardiovascular and metabolic chronic conditions， were enrolled via random sampling at The Third People's Hospital of Fuyang from January 2023 to September 2024. Baseline assessments were conducted during hospitalization using the general socio-demographic questionnaire， the Sleep Dysfunction Rating Scale （SDRS）， the Ruminative Response Scale （RRS）， and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale （HADS）. Sleep quality was further evaluated using the SDRS at 1-， 3-， and 6-month post-discharge. Latent class growth model was employed to delineate trajectories of sleep quality. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was subsequently performed to identify influencing factors of sleep quality. ResultsA total of 201 patients with chronic diseases were included.Based on four predefined assessment time points （baseline， 1 month， 3 months， 6 months post-discharge）， the latent class growth model identified three distinct trajectories of sleep quality： persistent high sleep disturbance （n=72， 35.82%）， moderate sleep disturbance-progression （n=73， 36.32%）， and low sleep disturbance （n=56， 27.86%）. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that， compared with the low sleep disturbance group， multiple factors increased the odds of membership in the persistent high sleep disturbance group： per capita monthly household income of <3 000 yuan （β=13.131， P<0.01） or 3 000–5 000 yuan （β=5.913， P<0.05）， aged 45–65 years （β=9.536， P<0.05）， presence of 3 （β=7.792， P<0.05） or >3 comorbid chronic conditions （β=6.626， P<0.05）， as well as higher RRS （β=0.334， P<0.01） and HADS score （β=1.628， P<0.01）. Additionally， patients aged 45–65 years （β=2.777， P<0.05）， with 3 （β=3.802， P<0.01） or >3 comorbid chronic conditions （β=2.463， P<0.01）， and with higher RRS （β=0.111， P<0.01） and HDAS scores （β=0.350， P<0.05） also demonstrated significantly increased odds of belonging to the moderate sleep disturbance–progression group. ConclusionThere is significant population heterogeneity in sleep quality trajectories among patients with chronic multimorbidity， with age， per capita household monthly income， number of comorbidities， rumination， and anxiety/depression symptoms being identify as the primary influencing factors.

China is facing the double burden of high incidence of lung cancer and tuberculosis epidemic. Lung cancer combined with tuberculosis has a high incidence and complexity in clinical practice. High-risk groups include immunocompromised people, long-term smokers and people with a history of tuberculosis. The coexistence of the two diseases not only increases the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment decision-making, but also increases the risk of treatment-related adverse reactions and drug interactions. The guideline was developed by Committee of Integrated Rehabilitation for Lung Cancer, Chinese Anti-Cancer Association; Chinese and Western Integrated Lung Cancer Committee of Chinese Anti-Cancer Association; Society of Tuberculosis, Chinese Medical Association, aiming to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis. The guideline emphasizes the core position of combined diagnosis of multimodal imaging, etiology and pathology. It is proposed that anti-tuberculosis and anti-tumor treatment should be coordinated under the framework of multidisciplinary team, and drug interactions and timing optimization should be paid attention to. For surgical treatment, minimally invasive resection combined with systematic lymph node dissection is recommended after infection control. Systemic therapy requires individualized risk stratification and dynamic monitoring of efficacy and adverse reactions. Based on evidence-based medicine and Chinese clinical practice, combined with the accessibility of drugs and technologies, this guideline proposes a whole-process management pathway covering screening, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up, in order to improve the prognosis and quality of life of patients.

[Objective]To summarize the distribution characteristics and mutual combination rules of syndrome elements through the extraction of syndrome elements from recent literature on recurrent oral ulcers,analyze the etiology and pathogenesis and provide theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment in traditional Chinese medicine.[Methods]The clinical literature related to recurrent oral ulcers in the past four years in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure and WanFang databases was searched,key information such as syndromes and syndrome elements was extracted,an information database was established,and frequency analysis was conducted.[Results]One hundred and sixty-one literatures were included,and 26 standard Chinese medicine syndromes for recurrent oral ulcers were extracted.Heart-spleen heat accumulation syndrome was the most common,followed by Yin deficiency and fire hyperactivity syndrome,dampness-heat due to spleen deficiency syndrome,phlegm and blood stasis were the least common.A total of 8 disease location syndrome elements were extracted from the spleen,heart,stomach,liver,kidney,gallbladder,lung and large intestine.The most common disease location syndrome was the spleen,followed by the heart,and the large intestine was the least frequent.Fourteen disease syndrome elements including heat,blood deficiency,and poison were extracted.The most common was heat,followed by Yin deficiency,and dryness was the least frequent.There were 10 combinations of syndrome elements,among which spleen+heat,heart+spleen+heat,heart+fire were the most frequent,and liver+blood deficiency was the least frequent.[Conclusion]The main type of recurrent oral ulcers is characterized by heart-spleen heat accumulation,which is most closely related to the spleen,the pathological factor is heat.Clinical treatment of recurrent oral ulcers often starts with the three organs of the spleen,heart and stomach,with the three most important methods of reducing fire,clearing heat and eliminating dampness.

Objective:To compare the preliminary efficacy and adverse events of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with or without immunotherapy in bladder preservation therapy for localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) confined to the pelvis.Methods:Clinical data of 60 patients with MIBC who received CRT with or without immunotherapy for bladder preservation at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2016 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into CRT plus immunotherapy group and CRT-alone group. Survival outcomes, bladder function preservation, recurrence and metastasis, as well as early and late radiation toxicities were evaluated. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for between-group comparisons. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival rates were compared by the log-rank test. Results:In the CRT plus immunotherapy group ( n=23), the median follow-up was 20 months. The median OS and median PFS were not reached. The 2-year OS, PFS, LRFS, and DMFS rates were 95.7%, 70.7%, 70.7%, and 92.9%, respectively, and 22 patients (96%) preserved normal bladder function. Patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 had significantly higher 1-year PFS rate than those with CPS <1 (100% vs. 66.7%, P=0.004). In the CRT-alone group ( n=37), the median follow-up was 37 months, with median OS and PFS of 68 and 19 months, respectively. The 2-year OS, PFS, LRFS, and DMFS rates were 92.0%, 41.1%, 60.9% and 81.5%, respectively, and 33 patients (89%) preserved normal bladder function. Compared with the CRT-alone group, the CRT plus immunotherapy group showed a significant improvement in PFS ( χ2=4.38, P=0.036), while no significant differences were observed in OS, LRFS, or DMFS (all P>0.05). The incidence of acute hematologic toxicity in the CRT plus immunotherapy group and CRT-alone group were 52% (12/23), 27% (10/37) respectively, and late genitourinary toxicity was 22% (5/23), 8% (3/37), respectively, with no significant differences in overall acute or late toxicities (all P>0.05). Conclusions:For localized MIBC, bladder preservation with CRT combined with immunotherapy significantly improves PFS compared with CRT alone, while maintaining comparable safety. The PD-L1 status may serve as a favorable predictor for immunotherapy efficacy.

OBJECTIVE Aimd to investigate the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction among healthy elderly individuals in China using a large sample size and to explore its correlations with demographic and other factors.METHODS A total of 5 258 participants who aged 60 and above underwent the T&T olfactometer test and completed questionnaires.The prevalence of olfactory dysfunction was reported,and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations between olfactory dysfunction and other factors.RESULTS The overall prevalence of olfactory dysfunction in the study was 26.5%.Independent risk factors for olfactory dysfunction included advanced age,rural residence(OR=1.88,95%CI:1.60-2.22,P<0.01),current smoking(OR=1.45,95%CI:1.15-1.83,P<0.01),and self-reported olfactory dysfunction(OR=10.12,95%CI:8.44-12.14,P<0.01).In contrast,female gender(OR=0.70,95%CI:0.58-0.85,P<0.01)and high educational attainment were independently associated with a lower prevalence of olfactory dysfunction.CONCLUSION The prevalence of olfactory dysfunction among individuals aged 60 and above increased with age.Male gender,rural residence,low educational attainment,current smoking,and self-reported decline in olfactory function were independently associated with olfactory dysfunction.

Porcine deltacoronavirus(PDCoV)is the main pathogen of porcine deltacoronavirus dis-ease.After infection,pigsmanifest a series of main symptoms,such as persistent vomiting,watery diarrhea and severe dehydration.Pigs at almost all growth stages are likely to be infected with the virus,especially suckling piglets are much sensitive to the virus.Once PDCoV infects the host,it u-sually causes significant immunosuppression.In recent years,studies on the immunosuppressive mechanism of PDCoV have gradually attracted widespread attention.The results showed that mul-tiple proteins of PDCoV were involved in the regulation of host innate immunity,revealing the mechanism of these proteins in regulating host innate immunity.In this paper,the interaction mechanism between PDCoV protein and host innate immunity were rsummarized,which will pro-vide a theoretical basis for further understanding the pathogenesis of PDCoV and effective preven-tion and control of porcine delta coronavirus disease.

To establish a TaqMan-based multiplex RT-qPCR method for the identification of Japa-nese encephalitis virus(JEV),Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV),and Classical swine fever virus(CSFV),this study designed and synthesized three pairs of specific primers and probes based on the conserved sequences of JEV E,PRRSV ORF6,and CSFV E2 a-vailable in the NCBI GenBank.By optimizing the reaction system and protocol,a multiplex RT-qPCR method for detecting these three viruses was developed and applied to the detection of clini-cal samples.The results showed that the established TaqMan multiplex RT-qPCR specifically am-plified the gene fragments of JEV,PRRSV,and CSFV,and did not amplify other non-target genes,indicating good specificity of the method.Intra-assay and inter-assay repeatability tests showed that the coefficient of variation(Cv)values were all below 3％,demonstrating that the method has ex-cellent repeatability.Sensitivity tests revealed that the minimum detectable amount for the recom-binant plasmids of the three viruses was 100 copies/pL.Using the established method,a total of 969 samples,including blood,aborted fetuses,semen,and deceased pigs,from 26 pig farms in Guizhou Province were tested.The detection rates were 34.3％(332/969)for JEV,28.3％(274/969)for PRRSV,and 19.8％(192/969)for CSFV.The co-infection rates were 10.1％(98/969)for JEV and PRRSV,12.1％(117/969)for JEV and CSFV,and 14.6％(141/969)for CSFV and PRRSV.Additionally,the triple co-infection rate of JEV,PRRSV,and CSFV was 7.9％(77/969).These results indicate that the TaqMan multiplex RT-qPCR method developed in this study is ef-fective for detecting these three viruses in pig farms,providing technical support for identifying vi-ral causes of reproductive disorders.
