ObjectiveTo compare the differences between wild Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus（WAOF） and cultivated Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus（CAOF） through a traditional quality evaluation system for medicinal materials. MethodsA total of 10 batches of WAOF and 12 batches of CAOF samples were collected from various regions of Hainan province. Relevant analytical methods from the 2020 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China were employed to observe the characteristics of WAOF and CAOF， followed by microscopic identification， thin-layer chromatography（TLC） identification， moisture content（toluene method）， total ash， acid-insoluble ash， water-soluble and alcohol-soluble extracts（hot dipping method）， water-soluble protein， total polysaccharides and total flavonoids（ultraviolet spectrophotometry）， and volatile oil content（method A under general rule 2204）. The contents of five active components（protocatechuic acid， chrysin， kaempferol， tectochrysin and nootkatone） were quantified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography（UPLC）， and the antioxidant activity was evaluated. Building upon traditional quality evaluation of AOF， quantitative measurements were conducted on its appearance traits including diameter， length， plumpness（diameter/length ratio）， and color. Canonical correlation analysis was performed using SPSS 26.0 to explore relationships between appearance traits and intrinsic quality. ResultsNo significant differences were observed between WAOF and CAOF in microscopic observation， TLC identification， moisture content， protocatechuic acid content， kaempferol content， odor， or antioxidant activity measured by 2，2ʹ-azino-bis（3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid）（ABTS） method. WAOF exhibited significantly higher levels in water-soluble extracts， alcohol-soluble extracts， total polysaccharide content， water-soluble protein content， 100-grain weight， length， and total color difference（ΔE^*ab） compared to CAOF（P<0.01）. In contrast， CAOF showed significantly higher levels of total ash， acid-insoluble ash， content of total flavonoids， volatile oil content， chrysin content， tectochrysin content， nootkatone content， diameter， plumpness， lightness（L^*）， red-green chromaticity（a^*）， yellow-blue chromaticity（b^*）， and antioxidant activity measured by 1，1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl（DPPH） method compared to WAOF（P<0.01）. Correlation analysis between 7 phenotypic traits and 8 quality traits revealed that among the phenotypic traits， plumpness， L^*， a^*， and b^* exerted significant influence on intrinsic quality. Among the quality traits， total flavonoids， volatile oils， nootkatone， chrysin， and tectochrysin contributed substantially to intrinsic quality. ConclusionPlumpness， L^*， a^*， and b^* of AOF significantly influence its intrinsic quality， and higher values of these parameters indicate relatively superior intrinsic quality. The comprehensive quality evaluation reveals that CAOF samples collected in this study are superior to their wild counterparts.

Chronic liver diseases are a group of diseases in which the liver is subjected to a variety of injuries over a long period of time， resulting in irreversible pathological changes that last longer than 6 months. Emodin （EMO） is a natural anthraquinone derivative derived from Rheum officinale， and its pharmacological effect has been extensively studied， exhibiting a variety of biological properties and involving multiple signaling molecules and pathways. Western medicine or surgical treatment is currently the main treatment regimen for chronic liver diseases， and the advance in treatment is limited by various reasons such as side effects and high costs. Due to its natural origin and efficacy， EMO has unique advantages in the treatment of chronic liver diseases and has now become a research hotspot. This article summarizes the therapeutic effect of EMO on chronic liver diseases and its mechanism， in order to provide a certain scientific basis for the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of chronic liver diseases and the development of drugs in clinical practice.

The morphological characteristics and pathological progression of vulnerable plaques in atherosclerosis （AS） exhibit a high degree of similarity to the concept of "abscesses and ulcers" in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. Therefore， vulnerable atherosclerotic plaques can be analogized as "abscesses and ulcers within the vessels"， for which deficiency， stasis and toxin constitute the core pathogenesis. The pathological evolution progresses through three sequential stages， deficiency leading to pathological substances， with phlegm and stasis accumulating into a mass； the mass transforming into putridity， with internal decay and external thinning； putridity brewing toxin， and toxin accumulation threatening rupture， ultimately resulting in plaque instability. Accordingly， a stage-specific treatment strategy is established. In the early stage， it is suggested to supplement deficiency， resolve the mass， dissipate stasis， and prevent putridity， using Liujunzi Decoction （六君子汤） combined with Danshen Decoction （丹参饮） with modifications. In the middle stage， the treatment should focus on transforming putridity to generate new tissue， and rectifying healthy qi to consolidate the body， with modified Tuoli Xiaodu Powder （托里消毒散）. In the late stage， the treatment principle is clearing and resolving putridity toxin， cooling the blood， and preventing ulcerative rupture， using modified Simiao Yong'an Decoction （四妙勇安汤） combined with Xijiao Dihuang Decoction （犀角地黄汤）.

Objective Watch the proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation(PNF)in the treatment of patients with shoulder-hand syndrome,and to explore its relevant therapeutic mechanisms.Methods Sixty patients with shoulder-hand syndrome were split into two groups at random:thirty cases each for observation and control.The control group received both standard medication and training in rehabilitation.Intradermal needles were inserted at the Jianjing,Jianyu,Binao,Qing Lengyuan,Shouwuli,and Quchi points and left in place for 48 hours for the treatment group.The PNF treatment was administered for thirty minutes every day,five times a week,whereas the control group underwent four weeks of traditional drug treatment and rehabilitation training.Before and after therapy,the following measures were used:the Disability of the Arm,Shoulder and Hand(DASH),the Activity of Daily Living Scale(ADL),the Simplified Fugl-Meyer Scale(FMA),and the Visual Analog Scale(VAS).In order to measure changes in endothelin-1(ET-1),nitric oxide(NO),and bradykinin(BK),serum was collected.Result Scale score:①Within-group comparison,compared with before treatment,VAS and DASH scores were significantly lower,FMA,a significant rise in ADL scores,differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).②Comparison between groups,compared with the control group,observation group of DASH score significantly lower after treatment(P<0.05),a significant rise in FMA and ADL scores(P<0.05),VAS score has no obvious difference(P>0.05).Laboratory index test:①Intra-group comparison:compared with before treatment,BK and ET-1 expression levels increased,NO and CGRP expression levels decreased,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.01).②Comparison between groups:Following treatment,the observation group showed increases in BK and ET-1 expression degrees as well as decreased NO and CGRP expression degrees.This difference was statistically significant(P<0.01).Conclusions Intradermal needle combined with PNF can promote shoulder pain symptoms,increase upper limb mobility,also improve quality of life in patients with shoulder-hand syndrome.One of the mechanisms may be to upregulate the expression level of BK and ET-1,and downregulate the expression level of NO and CGRP,so as to improve the microcirculation function and reduce the neurogenic inflammatory response.

High-quality development of public hospitals requires cultural construction as an endogenous driving force,ai-ming to build a cultural system that integrates systematic,innovative,and humanistic characteristics.Leveraging its century-old historical legacy,Qilu Hospital of Shandong University has established a cultural construction pathway characterized by"strategic planning,heritage preservation,brand building,exemplary leadership,and communication innovation"through five major sys-tems:improving top-level design,inheriting historical heritage,building distinctive brands,cultivating exemplary models,and expanding communication channels.This approach provides cultural and spiritual impetus for the hospital's high-quality develop-ment.Empirical evidence demonstrates that cultural construction in public hospitals must emphasize systematic top-level design,distinctive cultural identity,synergy between tradition and innovation,and long-term sustainability,ultimately transforming cul-tural"soft power"into"hard support"for development.This practice offers a replicable"Qilu Model"for nationwide public hos-pital cultural development,while injecting new connotations into the implementation of the Healthy China strategy.

To further improve the post competency of application-oriented medical students, the university medical simulation center, clinical teaching base, and off-campus social practice base were linked to establish a platform. Four key points were used to explore a new training model of "one body and four bases" for application-oriented medical students. This includes problem-oriented theoretical teaching to improve the professional knowledge of medical students, hands-on practice-oriented experimental teaching to improve the clinical skills, "strengthening clinical thinking training"-oriented practice in the base to enhance clinical awareness and cultivate clinical habits, and "cultivating humanistic literacy"-oriented off-campus social practice base to improve the humanistic sentiment and professional spirit of medical students. This teaching mode lays a foundation for training high-quality application-oriented medical talents with solid knowledge and skills and comprehensive development of ability and literacy, and provides a reference for teaching and research in similar colleges and universities.

Objective:To summarized the clinical characteristics of intracranial germ cell tumors（iGCTs）in children, with the ultimate goal of facilitating early tumor identification and guiding the prompt selection of appropriate treatment strategies.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on pediatric patients with primary iGCTs admitted to Beijing Tiantan Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University between March 2021 and June 2022. Patient age, gender, clinical manifestations, tumor marker levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood, imaging features, and histopathological examination results were meticulously collected and statistically analyzed.Results:A total of 126 pediatric patients with iGCTs were included in the study, of which 86 cases (68.3%) were male,and 40 cases (31.7%) were female.The average age was (10.0 ± 3.5) years old. The mean age of onset was found between 6~14 years old(80.1%), with a male-to-female ratio of 2.2:1.The tumors were predominantly located in the sellar region (30.2%), basal ganglia (23.8%), and pineal region (19.8%). Notably, there were distinct differences in tumor location across different age groups: pineal region tumors were most prevalent in preschool children (71.4%), basal ganglia tumors were more common in school-age children (41.9%), and sellar region involvement was highest among adolescent patients(44.8%). Based on molecular marker analysis and biopsy diagnosis, 79 cases were classified as germinoma, 3 as teratoma, 2 as yolk sac tumor, 1 as choriocarcinoma, and 41 as mixed germinoma.All children underwent head CT and MRI examinations. Among them, 99 cases showed high-density lesions on CT,while 27 cases showed mixed density,including 39 cases of calcification and 35 cases of hydrocephalus.MRI revealed atrophy of the cerebral peduncle, caudate nucleus head, or cerebral cortex in 38 cases, involvement of the basal ganglia in 33 cases, and midbrain involvement in 5 cases.Blood β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG) and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were examined in all patients, while CSF tumor marker levels were analyzed in 103 cases. There were 76 cases with elevated β-HCG in blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid, and 24 cases with elevated AFP in blood and/or CSF.Additionally, all 86 male patients underwent genital ultrasound, revealed testicular microlithiasis in 12 cases and testicular cysts in 6 cases.Conclusion:The clinical presentation of iGCTs in pediatric patients exhibits significant heterogeneity in terms of epidemiology, classification, tumor location, and molecular markers. Notably, CSF β-HCG and AFP levels are equally crucial diagnostic indicators alongside blood tumor markers.Histological examination should be performed as early as possible in clinically suspected cases with negative tumor markers. Clinicians should remain vigilant for early imaging negative potential cases. In addition, male children with testicular microlithiasis or cysts should be closely followed up.

Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative parameters of dual-layer detector spectral CT (DLCT) in preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:This study employed a cross-sectional design. The data of 91 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology who underwent DLCT enhanced scanning in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2022 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into LVI positive group and LVI negative group according to the postoperative pathology. Gender, age, smoking status, and lesion location were recorded,the clinical T-stage and N-stage were evaluated. Spectral base data images were generated based on the spectral reconstruction algorithm. Conventional CT features such as the size and density of the lesions were analyzed. The DLCT quantitative parameters such as 40 keV single-energy CT value (CT 40 keV), iodine density (ID), standardized iodine density (NID), and effective atomic number (Z eff) were measured. The differences of parameters between the two groups were compared using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI. The predictive performance of individual parameters and their combinations for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC) measurements. Results:There were significant differences in age, T stage, N stage, maximum diameter, focal density, and arteriovenous stage NID and Z eff between the LVI positive group and the LVI negative group ( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=0.890, 95% CI 0.821-0.966), N stage( OR=12.721, 95% CI 2.676-60.473) and venous stage Z eff( OR=0.012,95% CI 0-0.668) were independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI ( P<0.05). The combination of age, N stage, and venous-phase Z eff values demonstrated the highest predictive efficacy for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma, with an AUC of 0.916. Conclusions:The quantitative parameters of DLCT are helpful for preoperative prediction of LVI status of invasive lung adenocarcinoma. The Z eff in the venous stage is an independent predictor, the combination of multiple parameters can further improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Objective To construct a regional collaborative cloud-based treatment model treatment model for patients with severe road traffic injuries,and to preliminarily evaluate the differences in nursing timeliness indicators and outcomes.Methods The regional collaborative cloud-based treatment platform includes 4 ports,including public security traffic police,pre-hospital emergency center,regional trauma center triage,and regional trauma center resuscitation unit.This forms a standardized real-time interactive treatment process between regional medical services and police for patients with severe road traffic injuries.Using a concurrent control study design,241 patients with severe road traffic injuries admitted to the emergency department of a regional trauma center in Zhejiang Province from May 2022 to May 2024 were selected as the study subjects.Among them,120 patients treated with the regional real-time collaborative cloud-based treatment model were designated as an experimental group,while 121 patients treated with the original trauma care process were designated as a control group.The differences in timeliness indicators and outcomes between the 2 groups were compared.Results The study included 241 patients with severe trauma.After the application of the regional collaborative cloud-based treatment model,the time from the scene of the accident to the hospital,the proportion of information early waming,completion time of pre-examination and triage,waiting time of the trauma team,the time of the first CT,the length of multidisciplinary consultation,and the time for completing hospitalization procedures in the experimental group were shorter than those in the control group(P＜0.05),the proportion of information early waming in the experimental group was 100％(120/120),and the proportion of information early waming in the control group was 52.1％(63/121).The difference between the two groups was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The survival rate of the experimental group was 90.8％(109/120),and that of the control group was 86.0％(104/121).There was no significant difference between the two groups(x2=1.399,P=0.237).Conclusion The regional collaborative cloud-based treatment model improves the timeliness and standardization of the treatment of patients with severe road traffic injury,which has certain reference significance and promotion value.

Background and purpose:SEC14L1P1,a pseudogene of the SEC14 family,is closely associated with the development of various tumors,but its role in oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)has not been clarified.This study aimed to gain insights into the expression characteristics and subcellular localization of SEC14L1P1 in OSCC cells,as well as its effects on OSCC cell proliferation and migration.Methods:The expression of SEC14L1P1 in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma(HNSCC)tissues was analyzed by the ENCORI database;The expression of SEC14L1P1 and its relationship with patient prognosis in HNSCC was further analyzed using the GDC and UCSC Xena databases.The expression of SEC14L1P1 in OSCC cell lines was detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RTFQ-PCR);RNA nucleoplasmic separation assay was performed to determine the localization of SEC14L1P1 in OSCC cells.SEC14L1P1 knockdown(SS-SEC14L1P1)group and knockdown control(SS-NC)group were established for CAL-27 cells,and SEC14L1P1 overexpression(SEC14L1P1)group and overexpression control(Vector)group were established for HN30 cells.The effects of SEC14L1P1 expression on the proliferation and migration abilities of cells in each group were assessed by cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)and transwell migration assays.RTFQ-PCR and Western blot experiments were used to detect the effects of altered SEC14L1P1 expression on the expression levels of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)-related genes.To investigate the effects of SEC14L1P1 on the proliferation of OSCC cells in vivo using a subcutaneous xenograft tumor model in nude mice,12 four-week-old BALB/c nude mice were randomly divided into two groups:the antisense oligonucleotide(ASO)-NC group and the ASO-SEC14L1P1 group,with 6 mice in each group.All mice were individually labeled.Further mechanistic studies were performed by analyzing molecules interacting with SEC14L1P1 through the RNAInter database,and the ENCORI database was queried for expression correlation between SEC14L1P1 and DHX9.The effect of altered SEC14L1P1 expression on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(AKT)pathway was detected by Western blot assay.Results:Database analysis showed that the expression of SEC14L1P1 was higher in HNSCC tissues than in normal tissues,and was strongly associated with poor patient prognosis.The RTFQ-PCR results showed that SEC14L1P1 was highly expressed in all six OSCC cell lines;RNA nucleoplasmic separation showed that SEC14L1P1 was mainly localized in the nucleus in CAL-27 and HN30 cells.Compared with SS-NC,the relative expression of SEC14L1P1 in the SS-SEC14L1P1 group was significantly lower and significantly inhibited cell proliferation and migration,while the relative expression of SEC14L1P1 in the SEC14L1P1 group was significantly higher compared with the Vector group,which also significantly increased cell proliferation and migration.The down-regulation of SEC14L1P1 was accompanied by increased mRNA and protein levels of E-cadherin,and decreased mRNA and protein levels of N-cadherin and vimentin,with the opposite result after SEC14L1P1 overexpression.In vivo experiments showed that the xenograft tumor weight and volume of the ASO-SEC14L1P1 group were significantly reduced.Further mechanistic studies revealed a positive correlation between SEC14L1P1 and DHX9 expressions,and DHX9 has been shown to activate the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Knockdown of SEC14L1P1 resulted in decreased protein expressions of phosphorylated-PI3K(p-PI3K)and phosphorylated-AKT(p-AKT),and overexpression of SEC14L1P1 increased protein expressions of p-PI3K and p-AKT.Conclusion:SEC14L1P1 showed high expression levels in OSCC cells and tissues and promoted the proliferation and migration of OSCC cells,a phenomenon that may be related to the regulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway by SEC14L1P1,which in turn promotes EMT.
