Gastric ulcer （GU） is a high-incidence digestive system disease characterized pathologically by disruption of gastric mucosal integrity， with clinical features including a prolonged course and periodic recurrence. Modern medicine attributes its pathogenesis to the dynamic imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors，while traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） posits its development as closely linked to spleen deficiency. Current therapies combining acid suppressants and antibiotics face challenges such as high recurrence rates，poor mucosal healing，and adverse drug reactions. Long-term use may induce metabolic disturbances like hypergastrinemia and reduced intestinal microbiota diversity. Therefore，exploring safer and longer-lasting therapeutic strategies has become a critical focus. TCM has extensive clinical experience and unique advantages in GU prevention and treatment. Studies demonstrate that the classic formula Shenling Baizhu San exhibits therapeutic properties of "invigorating spleen and tonifying Qi to restore physiological balance and eliminating dampness and regulating middle energizer to unblock Qi movement"， enabling a holistic approach targeting both symptoms and root causes in GU with spleen deficiency as the core pathology by suppressing aggressive factors and strengthening defensive factors. Experimental research reveals its mechanisms involve enhancing the physicochemical barrier of the mucus layer，repairing epithelial barriers and microcirculation，modulating gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility，and regulating microecological barriers and mucosal immunity. Clinical evidence confirms its synergistic effects in promoting ulcer healing，improving Helicobacter pylori eradication rates，and reducing recurrence risks. This review examined the etiology and pathogenesis of GU and systematically evaluated Shenling Baizhu San from three perspectives-clinical application，pharmacological effects， and experimental research-to provide insights for optimizing integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine protocols and expanding its clinical applications.

Objective:To develop a quality assessment index system for infection prevention and control in integrated medical and elderly care facilities, providing methods for assessing infection control quality and a theoretical basis for enhancing infection prevention and control capabilities.Methods:This study initially constructed a framework for the quality evaluation index system through literature reviews, work specifications and standards and expert interviews. The Delphi method was employed to conduct two rounds of consultations with 19 experts to evaluate the necessity, feasibility, stability, and sensitivity of the indicators. The expert′s active coefficient, authority coefficient, degree of consensus, and coordination were statistically analyzed. The indicators were revised based on expert opinions to finalize the evaluation index system. The weights of the evaluation dimensions were determined using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), while the weights of the indicators were determined using the proportional allocation method. Reliability was assessed via Cronbach′s α coefficient, and content validity was verified through the Content Validity Index ( CVI). Results:After two rounds of expert consultation, the expert positive coefficient, expert authority coefficient ( Cr) and expert coordination coefficient Kendall′s W was 100%, 0.992 and 0.634 ( P<0.001), indicating high expert authority, good concentration and coordination of opinions. The assessment index system for infection prevention and control quality in integrated medical and elderly care facilities was ultimately constructed, comprising three primary indicators, 18 secondary indicators and 68 tertiary indicators. Among the primary indicators, the process quality had the highest weight of 0.338. Within the process quality, the secondary indicators with the highest weights were infection control material allocation, hand hygiene quality and the management of cluster outbreaks. A total of 11 unique evaluation indicators for integrated medical and elderly care facilities were established, with the highest weighted indicator being the rate of standardized surveillance of infection-related risk factors. Reliability and validity analyses demonstrated that the overall Cronbach′s α coefficient of the system was 0.991, and the Scale-level Content Validity Index was 0.936, confirming good reliability and validity. Conclusion:The evaluation index system constructed in this study can serve as an effective assessment tool for the quantitative evaluation of infection control quality in integrated medical and elderly care facilities. Furthermore, it is recommended that the system undergo continuous optimization concerning its application.

Naringenin (4,5,7-trihydroxyflavonoid) is a naturally occurring bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits, which plays an important role in metabolic syndrome, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. However, the pharmacological mechanism and biological function of naringenin on anti-angiogenesis and anti-tumor immunity have not yet been elucidated. Our study firstly demonstrates that naringenin inhibits the growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells both in vivo and in vitro. Naringenin diminishes the ability of HCC cells to induce tube formation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and suppresses neovascularization in chicken chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) assays. Meanwhile, in vivo results demonstrate that naringenin can significantly upregulate level of CD8⁺ T cells, subsequently increasing the level of immune-related cytokines in the tumor immune microenvironment. Mechanistically, we found that naringenin facilitate the K48-linked ubiquitination and subsequent protein degradation of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (c-Met), which reduces the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). Importantly, combination therapy naringenin with PD-L1 antibody or bevacizumab provided better therapeutic effects in liver cancer. Our study reveals that naringenin can effectively inhibit angiogenesis and anti-tumor immunity in liver cancer by degradation of VEGFA and c-Met in a K48-linked ubiquitination manner. This work enlightens the potential effect of naringenin as a promising therapeutic strategy against anti-angiogenesis and anti-tumor immunity in HCC.

Fanconi anemia (FA) is a hereditary bone marrow failure syndrome that is characterized by genomic instability and heightened sensitivity to DNA cross-linking agents. In recent years, the CRISPR-Cas9 technology has exhibited groundbreaking progress in the field of gene therapy for FA. The traditional CRISPR-Cas9 technology has been successfully applied in FA gene editing. Further, single-base editing technology, based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system, performs precise and efficient gene repair for prevalent gene mutations in patients with FA. The prime editing technology provides new possibilities for gene editing; however, its application in FA has not been initiated. Despite significant advancements in FA gene editing technology, several challenges remain, including the collection of sufficient hematopoietic stem cells, the risk of increased tumorigenesis postgene editing, chromosomal instability, and off-target effects. Future research is recommended to focus on optimizing sgRNA and Cas9 nucleases, designing stricter PAM sequences to reduce off-target effects, and devising personalized gene editing strategies. Further, ethical and regulatory issues as well as long-term follow-ups are crucial priorities for future gene editing work. With continuous technological advancements and in-depth clinical trials, we expect more breakthroughs in FA treatment using the CRISPR-Cas9 technology in the future. This article reviews the latest research progress of CRISPR technology in FA treatment and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of this technology in FA gene therapy.

Objective:To analyze the change characteristics of creatinine level in the early stage of patients with diquat (DQ) poisoning, and to explore the early risk factors and the value of prognosis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was carried out on patients with DQ admitted to the the first affiliated hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2020 to June 2022. The DQ patients were divided into death group and the survival group according to the 28 days survival status after posioning. The basic data and serum indexes and blood gas analysis of the patients on day 1 (D1), day 3 (D3) and day 5 (D5) were collected. The difference of clinical features between the two groups was analyzed, the variables were screened by multiple logistic regression analysis, and the predictive value of the variables was evaluated by drawing receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve).Results:A total of 88 patients were included, including 40 patients in the survival group and 48 patients in the death group. The toxic dose in death group was significantly higher than that in survival group [100(40.00, 120.00) mL vs. 50.00(20.00, 90.00) mL, P=0.003]. The higher the toxic dose, the higher the fatality rate. All 4 patients with oral doses greater than 200 mL died. Compared with the survival group, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (D3, D5), creatinine (CR) (D3, D5), blood amylase (AMY) (D5) and oxygen partial pressure (PaO 2) (D5) in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group (all P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that CR (D3) and AMY(D5) were independent risk factors for death after poisoning, and PaO 2(D5) was independent protective factor. ROC curve showed that the areas under ROC curve of CR (D3), AMY (D5) and PaO 2 (D5) were 0.814, 0.741 and 0.702, respectively. Conclusion:The higher the oral dose, the higher the death rate. After admission, CR(D3), AMY (D5) and PaO 2 (D5) were independent factors influencing the prognosis of DQ poisoning. In particular, CR (D3) is more effective in predicting death after poisoning.

Fetal structural anomalies and birth defects are primarily caused by genetic variants such as chromosomal number abnormalities, copy number variations (CNV), single nucleotide variants (SNV), and small insertions and deletions (indel). Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) as an emerging technology for genetic disease diagnosis can detect the aforementioned types of variants. In recent years, high-depth WGS (> 30×) for prenatal diagnosis has also become available, and proved to be practical for unraveling the genetic etiology of fetal developmental abnormalities. To fascilitate clinical practice, test development and preliminary implementation of WGS for diagnosing fetal structural anomalies, we have formulated a consensus over the application of WGS in prenatal diagnosis by compiling previously published consensuses, guidelines, and research findings to provide a guidance on data analysis, reporting recommendations, and consultation of prenatal WGS results.
