OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of acupuncture combined with a modified Zhengan Xifeng Decoction on the early clinical symptoms and oxidative stress status of patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(HICH)of liver-kidney yin defi-ciency syndrome.METHODS A total of 60 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage(liver-kidney yin deficiency syn-drome)who successfully received 24-hour acute-phase treatment at the Department of Neurosurgery,Acupuncture and Rehabilitation Department,and wards of Kunshan Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine(Kunshan Traditional Chinese Medi-cine Hospital)from July 2021 to January 2023 were recruited.A randomization table generated by SPSS 22.0 software was used to di-vide the patients into a control group and an observation group,with 30 patients in each group.The control group received symptomatic treatment,conventional rehabilitation training,and modified Zhengan Xifeng Decoction,while the observation group received additional acupuncture treatment on the basis of the control group.The treatment course was 1 month for both groups.Clinical effective rate,TCM syndrome scores,motor and neurological function scores[Activity of Daily Living(ADL)scale,National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS),Modified Ashworth Scale(MAS),Simplified Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA)scale],improvement in hematoma lesions,Fraction anisotropy(FA)ratio(rFA),and serum levels of antioxidant stress response factors Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(Keap1)and nuclear factor-E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)were observed before and after treatment in both groups.RESULTS After treat-ment,the clinical effective rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0.05);the TCM syn-drome scores in both groups decreased significantly(P<0.05),with the observation group showing better results than the control group(P<0.05);the ADL and FMA scores in both groups reduced significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the NIHSS and Ashworth Scale scores increased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),with the observation group showing better improvement than the control group(P<0.05);serum Keap1 levels decreased significantly in both groups(P<0.01),while Nrf2 levels enhanced significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),with the observation group showing better improvement than the control group(P<0.05);imaging studies showed that after treat-ment,the residual hematoma volume decreased significantly in both groups(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the rFA value increased signifi-cantly(P<0.05,P<0.01),with the observation group showing better results than the control group(P<0.01).CONCLUSION On the basis of standard treatment for the acute phase,acupuncture combined with Zhengan Xifeng Decoction can significantly improve the early clinical symptoms of HICH patients with liver-kidney yin deficiency,reduce oxidative stress levels,and promote the recovery of nerve and motor functions.

In recent years,the global consumption of ultra-processed foods(UPFs)has increased.UPFs are classified as the fourth group of food in the NOVA classification system:industrially formulated foods made entirely or mostly from substances extracted from foods(oils,fats,sugar,starch,proteins,etc),derivatives of food constituents(hydrogenated fats,modified starches,etc),or multiple food additives.Common manufacturing techniques include extrusion,moulding,and pre-frying.As high-energy-density foods,UPFs are typically characterized by high levels of sugar,fat,and salt,and low levels of dietary fiber,protein,vitamins,and minerals,resulting in low nutrient density.Studies have shown that a high intake of UPFs increases the risk of various chronic diseases.Nutrition during pregnancy is a crucial factor influencing pregnancy outcomes,and balanced and adequate nutrient intake is essential for the health of both the mother and child.Given that UPFs have limited nutritional density,high intake during pregnancy may be detrimental to maternal and infant health.However,the impact of consuming UPFs during pregnancy on maternal and infant health is not extensively studied.This article reviews the literature on the effects of UPFs on pregnancy outcomes,aiming to provide a foundation for further research and personalized dietary guidance.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal characteristics of human brucellosis in Henan Province.Methods:Data of human brucellosis in Henan Province from 2005 to 2021 were collected through the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System, and a descriptive epidemiological method was used to analyze the epidemic profile of brucellosis in Henan Province and the three distribution characteristics. Global and local spatial autocorrelation were used to analyze the spatial distribution and the hot spots of brucellosis in Henan Province, respectively, and spatiotemporal scanning was used to analyze the spatiotemporal clustering regions of brucellosis in Henan Province.Results:A total of 39 862 brucellosis cases were reported in Henan Province from 2005 to 2021, with an average annual incidence of 2.44/100 000, and the number of cases showed an overall increasing trend each year (χ 2trend = 11 127.85, P = 0.001). The onset months were mainly concentrated from March to July, accounting for 59.00% (23 517/39 862), with May as the peak (5 478 cases). Cases of brucellosis were reported in 157 counties (cities, districts) of the province. The ratio of male to female was 2.52∶1.00 (28 542/11 320). Farmers were the main occupation, with 32 985 cases (82.75%). The age of onset was mainly 45 to 65 years old, with 20 226 cases (50.74%). The global spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the global Moran's I was > 0, Z > 1.96, and P < 0.05 in all years except 2006 - 2008, showing spatial clustering. Further local spatial autocorrelation analysis was performed, and high-high and low-low clustering areas existed in 2012 - 2021 ( P < 0.01). Spatiotemporal scanning analysis showed that there was one spatiotemporal cluster in the high incidence area and two spatiotemporal clusters in the low incidence area. The high incidence cluster was centered in Neixiang County, covering 48 counties (cities, districts) including Song County and Ruzhou City, and the aggregation time was from 2014 to 2021. The two low incidence clusters were centered in Yongcheng City and Boai County, covering 58 and 18 counties (cities, districts), respectively, and the aggregation time was 2016 - 2021 and 2005 - 2012, respectively. Conclusion:The overall incidence of brucellosis in Henan Province is on the rise from 2005 to 2021, with middle-aged and elderly male farmers as the main affected population, and there are spatiotemporal clusters of brucellosis in Henan Province.
