Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of oral solution of magnesium sodium potassium sulfate in bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Methods Patients who planned to undergo colonoscopy at the digestive department of the Ninth People’s Hospital, affiliated to School of Medicine of Shanghai Jiao Tong University from January 2023 to August 2023 were selected and eligible subjects were divided into two groups: Group A took polyethylene glycol （PEG） and Group B took oral solution of magnesium sodium potassium sulfate （OSS）. The quality, drug tolerance, and safety of intestinal preparation were evaluated. The quality of bowel preparation was evaluated by the boston bowel preparation scale （BBPS）. Results The right colon BBPS score of Group B was (2.39±0.82) points, which was significantly higher than of Group A (2.11±0.43) points （P<0.05）. The overall score of Group B was higher than that of Group A （P<0.05）. OSS was easier to take than PEG, with a good taste and overall sensation. Patients were willing to use OSS to clean their bowels even when they were willing to undergo another examination （P<0.05）. There was a significant difference in nausea and vomiting symptoms between the two groups （P<0.05）, and there were no significant changes in renal function and electrolytes before and after medication in the two groups of patients. Conclusion OSS had a higher quality of bowel cleaning and was easier for patients to accept.

ObjectiveTo systematically compare the differential regulation of the maternal-fetal interface cell lineages and communication networks in the CBA/J×DBA/2 mouse model of recurrent pregnancy loss （RPL） by the two classic therapeutic methods-tonifying the kidney to stabilize the fetus and invigorating the spleen to stabilize the fetus （Shoutai Wan， Juyuan Jian）-of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） at the single-cell resolution and clarify their modern scientific connotations. MethodsFemale non-pregnant CBA/J mice were caged with male BALB/c （blank group） and DBA/2 （modeling group） mice separately. Pregnant mice in the modeling group were randomly grouped as follows： high/low-dose Shoutai Wan， high/low-dose Juyuan Jian， model （RPL）， and positive control （dydrogesterone）， with 10 mice in each group. Starting from the day after the detection of the vaginal plug， mice were administrated with drugs or an equal volume of normal saline by gavage for 10 consecutive days. After the intervention， the following indicators were measured. ① Macroscopic evaluation： general conditions， uterine wet weight， embryo loss rate， four coagulation parameters ［prothrombin time （PT）， activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）， fibrinogen （FIB）， and thrombin time （TT）］， and peripheral blood estradiol （E₂） and progesterone （Pg） levels. The decidua with embryos was stained with hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and evaluated by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， angiotensin Ⅱ （AngⅡ）， matrix metalloproteinase-2 （MMP-2）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， leukemia inhibitory factor （LIF）， CXC chemokine ligand 12 （CXCL12）， and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 homolog （LC3）Ⅰ/Ⅱ was quantified by Western blot. ② Mechanism analysis at the single-cell level： The decidua with embryos from the blank， model， high-dose Shoutai Wan， and high-dose Juyuan Jian groups （6 mice per group， with 3 single-cell samples per group， totaling 24 mice） were analyzed by the BD Rhapsody™ platform， and the whole-cell atlas was drawn by uniform manifold approximation and projection （UMAP） dimensionality reduction clustering combined with the single-cell mouse cell atlas （scMCA）. The differentially expressed genes （DEGs） and cell interaction networks were analyzed via Gene Ontology （GO）， Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG）， and CellChat， and the protein-protein interaction （PPI） map of subtype cells was constructed. The CytoTRACE pseudo-temporal analysis was performed to explore the developmental trajectories of core immune cells （natural killer cells， NK cells） from maternal and fetal sources. Results① Pathological and Western blot results indicated that compared with the blank group， the RPL group showed an increase in the embryo loss rate （P<0.01）， down-regulated expression of Bcl-2， LIF， MMP-2， and Vegf in the decidua with embryos （P<0.05）， up-regulated protein levels of CXCL-12， AngⅡ， and IL-6 （P<0.05）， blocked angiogenesis， apoptosis-inflammation imbalance， and coagulation dysfunction. Both prescriptions dose-dependently reduced the abortion rate and restored the angiogenesis-inflammation balance， and Shoutai pill showed superior performance in restoring the E₂ level to the Pg level （P<0.05）. ② Single-cell transcriptome analysis indicated that compared with the blank group， the RPL group showed differences in multiple key cell populations such as decidual cells， trophoblast cells， endothelial cells， erythroblasts， NK cells， and macrophages at the maternal-fetal interface. Immunity and angiogenesis were the key links in RPL. Compared with the RPL group， high-dose Shoutai Wan reversed the changes of NK cells in the embryonic layer （upregulating the mRNA levels of 17 genes and downregulating the mRNA levels of 29 genes） and macrophages （upregulating the mRNA levels of 117 genes and downregulating the mRNA levels of 53 genes） through the regulation of gene expression. High-dose Shoutai pill regulated the immune cells to affect unfolded proteins， cell adhesion， and programmed cell death， thereby promoting decidualization and angiogenesis and modulating embryo-membrane development. High-dose Juyuan Jian regulated the key subgroups of NK cells （up-regulating the mRNA levels of 9 genes and down-regulating the mRNA levels of 17 genes） and macrophages （up-regulating the mRNA levels of 110 genes and down-regulating the mRNA levels of 81 genes）， which affected decidual inflammation and apoptosis and intervened in glycolysis. ③ The pseudo-temporal analysis and communication network indicated that the communication frequency of the RPL group decreased. High-dose Shoutai Wan restored maternal-fetal tolerance through pathways such as NKG2D， CDH5， GDF， and FASLG. High-dose Juyuan Jian enhanced the IL-6/LIFR/JAK/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） and desmosome/SEMA6/tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis （TWEAK） signaling to improve endometrial receptivity. The RPL group showed an increased proportion of toxic dNK7， a decreased proportion of reparative dNK4， and blocked embryo fNK1. High-dose Shoutai Wan down-regulated dNK7 and up-regulated dNK4. High-dose Juyuan Jian inhibited the terminal differentiation of dNK7 and up-regulated LILRB1， thus restoring the balance of cytotoxicity and repair. ConclusionBoth the kidney-tonifying and spleen-invigorating methods are effective in treating RPL. NK and macrophages are the key immune cells in the interaction between the embryo and the membrane. The kidney-tonifying method （Shoutai Wan） has an advantage in regulating the phenotypes of unfolded protein， cell adhesion， and programmed cell death， and shows expression characteristics closer to the physiological state in the regulation of NKG2D and CDH5 signals. The spleen-invigorating method （Juyuan Jian） has an advantage in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）， angiogenesis， and glycolysis and shows higher communication intensity in the IL-6 and LIFR pathways.

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.

Objective: To define the mechanism by which swine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication. Methods: Porcine 3D4/21 cells with TRIM25 overexpression or knockdown were infected with vesicular stomatitis virus. Viral replication was quantified by immunoblotting, quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, and 50% tissue culture infectious dose assays. Type I interferon signaling was assessed by transcript quantification, interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated response element reporter assays, and co-immunoprecipitation.Viral RNA binding was tested by RNA immunoprecipitation. Results: TRIM25 overexpression reduced viral RNA and infectious titers, whereas TRIM25 knockdown increased replication (p < 0.01). TRIM25 increased interferon-beta and interferon-stimulated gene expression and enhanced interferon-beta and interferonstimulated response element promoter activity (p < 0.01). Mechanistically, TRIM25 promoted Lys63-linked ubiquitination of RIG-I and increased phosphorylation of TANK-binding kinase 1 and interferon regulatory factor 3. TRIM25 also bound vesicular stomatitis virus genomic RNA, and binding required the C-terminal region. Conclusions and Relevance: Porcine TRIM25 restricts vesicular stomatitis virus replication by amplifying type I interferon signaling and directly binding viral RNA.

Objective: To investigate the longitudinal associations between dietary patterns in early childhood and myopia among children, so as to provide evidence for improving early childhood dietary patterns and promoting healthy ocular development among children. Methods: Participants were derived from the Ma-anshan Birth Cohort (MABC). A total of 1 432 children were included. Dietary patterns at 2.5 years of age were collected in 2017 using a food frequency questionnaire completed by parents. In 2022, cycloplegic refraction and ocular biometric parameters were measured in children aged 7-8 years. Food components were grouped into tertiles ( T1-T 3), and latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify dietary pattern at the age of 2.5. Log-binomial regression and multiple linear regression model were applied to examine the associations of dietary patterns and their latent classes with myopia, spherical equivalent (SE), and axial length (AL). Results: The prevalence of myopia among children was 23.9%. After adjusting for covariates, the T 2 group of cereals and tubers was negatively associated with myopia rate ( RR=0.72, 95%CI =0.57-0.90) and AL ( β=-0.15, 95%CI =-0.24 to -0.05), and positively associated with SE ( β=0.21, 95%CI =0.06-0.35)(all P ＜0.05). Linear regression models showed that the T 2 group of fruits and vegetables was positively associated with AL ( β=0.09, 95%CI =0.00- 0.19 ); the T 3 group of high sugar foods ( β=0.11, 95%CI =0.00-0.21) and the T 3 group of processed foods ( β= 0.10 , 95%CI =0.00-0.19) were positively associated with AL; total scores for high sugar foods ( β=0.07, 95%CI =0.00-0.14) and processed foods ( β=0.09, 95%CI =0.01-0.17) were positively associated with AL (all P <0.05). After adjusting for sex, age, and parental myopia, the comprehensive high intake pattern was positively associated with AL ( β=0.12, 95%CI =0.00-0.23, P <0.05). After further adjusting for daily screen time and daily outdoor activity time, the association was no longer statistically significant ( β= 0.11 , 95%CI =-0.00-0.23, P >0.05). Conclusions Moderate consumption of cereals and tubers in early childhood may reduce the risk of myopia and delay AL growth. In contrast, high sugar and highly processed diets may promote AL and increase myopia risk. Establishing healthy dietary habits in early childhood and limiting intake of high sugar and processed foods is crucial for promoting ocular development in children.

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of advanced bone age in early adolescence, and to provide a scientific basis for the early identification of children and adolescents with abnormal bone age development. Methods A prospective cohort study design was adopted. From July 2022 to September 2023, height, weight, and body composition data of children were collected, with the baseline age of the study participants being 8.42±0.50 years. Subsequently, from March 2024 to November 2025, these children in the cohort were followed up and their bone age development was monitored. In the end, a total of 1142 participants with complete data were included in the study. Results In early adolescence, there were 239 individuals (20.93%) with early bone age development and 103 (9.02%) with delayed development. The proportion of early bone age development was higher among individuals whose mothers had gestational hypertension during pregnancy, and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=8.90, P<0.05). The proportion of early bone age development was higher among boys, and the difference was statistically significant (χ²=41.69, P＜0.001). Disordered multiclass logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for demographic factors, overweight (OR=2.65, 95%CI:1.81-3.88), obesity (OR=6.51, 95%CI: 4.45-9.53), and excessive body fat percentage (OR=4.60, 95% CI: 3.01-7.03) were associated with an increased risk of early bone age development in children and adolescents. Conclusion Being overweight/obese and having an excessive body fat percentage can increase the risk of early bone age development in adolescents.

OBJECTIVE To provide valuable insights for the adjustment of anti-infectious regimens， identification of adverse reactions， and individualized pharmaceutical care in patients with critically severe scrub typhus. METHODS Clinical pharmacists actively participated in the pharmaceutical care process for a patient with severe scrub typhus leading to mixed shock undergoing continuous renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Initially， the patient received meropenem （1 g， q12 h， ivdrip）， in combination with doxycycline （0.1 g， q12 h， po）， which was later switched to meropenem （1 g， q8 h， ivdrip） along with omacycline （100 mg， qd， ivdrip） due to impaired gastrointestinal function. However， as the patient’s condition progressively deteriorated and the infection became uncontrolled， the clinical pharmacists recommended that the clinicians adjust the anti-infective regimen to meropenem （2 g， q8 h， ivdrip） combined with tigecycline （100 mg for first dose； 50 mg， q12 h for maintenance； ivdrip）. The clinicians followed the advice of the clinical pharmacists. After treatment， the patient’s symptoms exhibited significant improvement， accompanied by a notable decrease in inflammatory markers， indicating that the infection had been successfully controlled. However， due to continuously increasing bilirubin levels， in order to reduce the risk of drug-induced liver injury， the clinicians changed tigecycline to azithromycin （0.5 g， qd， ivdrip） following the recommendation of the clinical pharmacists. RESULTS Ultimately， metagenomic next-generation sequencing of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood specimens indicated that Orientia tsutsugamushi had been completely eradicated in the patient. CONCLUSIONS Tigecycline may be a viable therapeutic choice for patients with severe scrub typhus. In the context of critically ill patients with scrub typhus， combining tigecycline with azithromycin might potentially enhance the efficacy in eliminating Orientia tsutsugamushi.

Ulcerative colitis(UC)is an inflammatory disease characterized by a continuous diffuse lesion in the colorectal mucosa.Macrophages,as key players in the inflammatory microenvironment,are significantly correlated with the development of UC.Based on the TCM pathogenesis of UC,this article reviewed the current research status of targeted regulation of macrophages in the treatment of UC using TCM,summarized the biological processes related to macrophages and their role in the progression of UC,and concluded the molecular mechanism of TCM treatment of UC targeting macrophages.It found that the active components of Chinese materia medica,TCM compounds,and TCM non-pharmacological therapies mainly regulate macrophage activity by regulating macrophage polarization,autophagy,pyroptosis,metabolic reprogramming,oxidative stress,and other processes,thereby delaying the progression of UC.This article aimed to provide references for in-depth exploration of the pathogenesis of UC and the TCM prevention and treatment of UC.
