ObjectiveHeadspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-SPME-GC-MS） and GC-triple quadrupole MS（GC-QqQ-MS） in combination with non-targeted and targeted metabolomics were employed to systematically analyze the chemical composition differences of Xihuangwan prepared with natural musk and artificial musk， and establish an identification system for them. MethodsThe volatile components of 9 batches of Xihuangwan samples from 8 manufacturers were analyzed by HS-SPME-GC-MS non-targeted metabolomics， and identified by comparing their MS data with the National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST） spectral library. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） was used to identify differential volatile components of Xihuangwan prepared with natural musk and artificial musk. Additionally， GC-QqQ-MS targeted metabolomics was applied to quantify the levels of α-pinene， β-elemene， muscone， dehydroepiandrosterone， bornyl acetate， and octyl acetate in 27 batches of samples from 9 manufacturers. Cluster analysis， principal component analysis（PCA）， and partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA） were conducted to further explore the differences in volatile components between Xihuangwan samples prepared with natural musk and artificial musk. ResultsNon-targeted metabolomics identified 291 volatile compounds in Xihuangwan， including alkanes， esters， alkanes， alcohols， ketones， naphthalenes and others. OPLS-DA analysis revealed distinct separation between Xihuangwan samples containing artificial musk（A1， C1， D1， E1， F1， G1， I1） and those containing natural musk（H1， H3）. A total of 30 differential metabolites were identified. The relative contents of these 30 differential metabolites were visualized using a radar chart， revealing significant differences in the levels of octanol， borneol acetate and muscone. Cluster analysis and PCA results from targeted metabolomics indicated that Xihuangwan could be classified into two distinct groups：one composed of natural musk（H1， H3） and the other of artificial musk， sample H2. PLS-DA identified muscone， octyl acetate， and dehydroepiandrosterone as key differential volatile components. Although no significant difference was observed in the content of octyl acetate between the two groups， statistically significant differences were found for muscone and dehydroepiandrosterone（P<0.05）. ConclusionMuscone and dehydroepiandrosterone can be used for the differentiation of Xihuangwan samples containing natural musk from those containing artificial musk. This study systematically and comprehensively analyzed the differences in the types and contents of major volatile components in Xihuangwan prepared with natural musk and artificial musk， providing a scientific basis for quality evaluation and control of Xihuangwan.

This article presents a case study of a patient who visited the Geriatric Department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital due to "palpitations, shortness of breath for more than 2 years, limb weakness for 6 months, edema, and nocturnal dyspnea for 2 months". The patient exhibited decreased muscle strength in the limbs and involvement of swallowing and respiratory muscles, alongside complications of heart failure and various arrhythmias which were predominantly atrial. Laboratory tests revealed the presence of multiple autoantibodies and notably anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Following a comprehensive multidisciplinary evaluation, the patient was diagnosed with anti-mitochondrial antibody-associated inflammatory myopathy. Treatment involved a combination of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants, along with resistance exercises for muscle strength and rehabilitation training for lung function, resulting in significant improvement of clinical symptoms. The case underscores the importance of collaborative multidisciplinary approaches in diagnosing and treating rare diseases in elderly patients, where careful consideration of clinical manifestations and subtle abnormal clinical data can lead to effective interventions.

The patients showed significant changes in diastolic pressure in the supine position， systolic pressure in the supine position， diastolic pressure in the sitting position， systolic pressure in the sitting position， and systolic pressure in the standing position after getting up in the morning， while there were no differences when they went to bed at night. Conclusion Traditional Chinese medicine has good efficacy in the treatment of multiple system atrophy and orthostatic hypotension.

Objective To analyze the impact of medical guidance games combined with special-ized nursing on treatment compliance and clinical symptoms in preschool children with pneumonia.Methods A total of 113 preschool children with pneumonia admitted to Beijing Daxing District Peo-ple's Hospital from February 2023 to June 2024 were selected as research subjects and randomly di-vided into control group(n=56)and observation group(n=57).The control group received routine nursing,while the observation group received medical guidance games combined with specialized nursing on the basis of the control group.Treatment compliance,improvement time of clinical symp-toms,and psychological states were compared between the two groups.Results The total treatment compliance rate in the observation group was 98.2％,which was higher than 89.3％in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The disappearance times of symp-toms such as cough,expectoration,dyspnea,and fever in the observation group were all shorter than those in the control group(P＜0.05).After intervention,the scores of the Children's Medical Fear Scale(CMFS)and the Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders(SCARED)in the ob-servation group were both lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Medical guidance games combined with specialized nursing can improve treatment compliance in preschool children with pneumonia,shorten their recovery time,help alleviate negative emotions such as medi-cal fear and anxiety,and promote disease recovery.

Objective:To understand the incidence trend and temporal distribution of breast cancer and reproductive system cancers in women in different age groups and areas in China from 2006 to 2017.Methods:Based on the incidences of breast cancer, vulvar cancer, vaginal cancer, cervical cancer, uterine corpus cancer, and ovarian cancer in women, average age at diagnosis and cases in different age groups and areas in China were calculated, standardized through world population. Software Joinpoint 4.5.0.1 was used to calculate average annual percent of change (AAPC).Results:Between 2006 and 2017, the overall age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of the six cancers showed an increasing trend from 39.48/100 000 to 51.11/100 000 (AAPC=2.24%, 95% CI: 1.59%-2.89%). The increasing trend was more obvious in rural area (AAPC=4.65%,95% CI:3.67%-5.64%), whereas no significant increase was observed in urban area (AAPC=0.15%,95% CI:-0.26%-0.56%). Except uterine corpus cancer, the incidences of 5 cancers showed increasing trends. The incidences of cervical cancer showed similar upward trends in urban and rural areas. In urban area, the ASIRs of breast cancer, vaginal cancer and vulvar cancer showed no significant increase, while in rural area it showed significant increase. The ASIR of ovarian cancer showed a decreasing trend in urban area and an increasing trend in rural area. The average age at diagnosis increased for all the cancers, except uterine corpus cancer. However, after standardizing through world population, the increases in the standardized average age at diagnosis were observed only in cervical cancer and vaginal cancer from 49.11 and 55.15 years to 52.13 and 58.81 years, respectively. Conclusions:The overall ASIR of breast cancer and reproductive system cancers in women showed increase trend in China in 2006-2017, and the increase trend was more obvious in rural area than in urban area. Meanwhile, the accessibility to medical facilities in rural area needs to be improved to ensure medical care, early diagnosis and early treatment for the purpose of bridging the gap in female cancer incidence between rural area and urban area.

Diffusion weighted imaging is an important imaging technique for diagnosing and evaluating the effectiveness of disease treatment,mainly focusing on the overall diffusion behavior of water molecules but ignoring the microscopic movement of water molecules and the details of tissue microstructures.Combining oscillatory gradient spin-echo and pulsed gradient spin echo sequences,time-dependent diffusion MRI(td-dMRI)captured diffusion MRI signals at varying time,in order to obtain information of different microstructures,which had recently emerged into clinical application with the advancements of hardware.The principles of td-dMRI technology and its application progresses in tumors were reviewed in this article.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To study the distribution of TCM constitutions in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients.Methods:This is a multicenter cross-sectional study. The general clinical data, dialysis-related parameters and physical and chemical examination data of MHD patients from 6 dialysis centers in Sichuan were collected. At the same time, DS01-A tongue and facial pulse information collection system was used for TCM constitution discrimination.Results:A total of 232 MHD patients were enrolled , and 417 kinds of TCM constitutions were detected, including 59 patients (25.43%) with moderate constitution and 173 patients (74.57%) with biased constitution. Phlegm-dampness was the most common type of solid constitution 47 patients (20.26%). The most common deficiency constitution was qi deficiency 86 patients (37.07%). There were certain differences in the physical distribution of patients with different gender, age, dialysis age, BMI, and whether they had diabetes, hypertension or anemia.Conclusions:The TCM constitutions of MHD patients are mainly biased constitution. Gender, age, BMI, diabetes or hypertension have a certain impact on the distribution of TCM constitutions. At the same time, different constitutions may have an impact on the anemia of MHD patients. The intervention of TCM constitutions on MHD patients may be beneficial to the prognosis of MHD patients.

Objective:To establish an animal model of trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis in SD rats.Methods:A self-designed V-shaped distraction device(distractor)was fabricated with the traction force(N)of 0,1.3,2.2,3.0,4.3 and 5.0 corresponding to the distraction length(mm)of 5,4,3,2,1 and 0 respectively,meeting the trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis requirements in skull of 5-week-old SD rats.The distractor was plased into the sagittal suture of 12 SD rats.Continuous sampling was conducted 1,3,5 and 7 days respectively(n=3)after operation.The tissue changes in the trans-sutural distraction area were observed by HE and Masson's trichrome staining.Inflammation levels were determined using Arg-1 immunofluorescence staining.The early angiogenesis was clarified through co-staining with CD31 and EMCN.Results:A stable trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis model was estab-lished,5 mm distraction osteogenesis width was observed completely within 7 days of distraction.Significant new bone formation was observed at 7 days after operation.Arg-1 expression increased and was concentrated at the bone margins,overlapping with the areas of new bone formation.EMCN expression gradually decreased,and by day 7 CD31 was predominant,indicating the basic maturation of blood vessels.Conclusion:This study successfully constructed a stable and effective trans-sutural distraction osteogenesis animal model,and provides an experimental basis for the investigation of its early continuous histological changes.
