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.

BACKGROUND:Cervical disc herniation can cause pain in the neck and shoulder area,as well as radiating pain in the upper limbs.The incidence rate is increasing year by year and tends to affect younger individuals.Fully understanding the biomechanical characteristics of the cervical spine in adolescents is of great significance for preventing and delaying the onset of cervical disc herniation in this age group. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct cervical spine models for both healthy adolescents and adolescent patients with cervical disc herniation utilizing finite element analysis techniques,to analyze the motion range of the C1-T1 cervical vertebrae as well as the biomechanical characteristics of the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,endplates,and the cartilage of the small joints. METHODS:A normal adolescent's cervical spine and an adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation were selected in this study.The continuous scan cervical spine CT raw image data were imported into Mimics 21.0 in DICOM format.The C1-T1 vertebrae were reconstructed separately.Subsequently,the established models were imported into the 3-Matic software for disc reconstruction.The perfected models were then imported into Hypermesh software for meshing of the vertebrae,nucleus pulposus,annulus fibrosus,and ligaments,creating valid geometric models.After assigning material properties,the final models were imported into ABAQUS software to observe the joint motion range of the C1-C7 cervical vertebrae segments under different conditions,and to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,endplates,and small joint cartilage of each cervical spine segment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In six different conditions,the joint motion range of the C1 vertebra in the cervical spine models of both normal adolescent and adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation was higher than that of the other vertebrae.Additionally,the joint motion range of each cervical spine segment in normal adolescent was greater than that in adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation.(2)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress values in the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus were found on the left side during C2-3 flexion conditions(0.43 MPa and 0.17 MPa,respectively).In the cervical spine model of adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the maximum stress values were found on the left side during C7-T1 flexion conditions(0.54 MPa and 0.18 MPa,respectively).(3)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress value on the endplate was found on the left side of the upper endplate of C3 during flexion conditions(1.46 MPa).In the model of adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the maximum stress value on the endplate was found on the left side of the lower endplate of C7 during flexion conditions(1.32 MPa).(4)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress value in the small joint cartilage was found in the C2-3 left rotation conditions(0.98 MPa).In adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the stress in the small joint cartilage significantly increased under different conditions,especially in C1-2,with the maximum stress found during left flexion(3.50 MPa).(5)It is concluded that compared to normal adolescent,adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation exhibits altered cervical curvature and a decrease in overall joint motion range in the cervical spine.In adolescent with cervical disc herniation,there is a significant increase in stress on the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,and endplates in the C7-T1 segment.The stress on the left articular cartilage of the C1-2 is notable.Abnormal cervical curvature may be the primary factor causing these stress changes.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC)accounts for over 90％of oral malignancies,with more than 370 000 new cases and approximately 188 000 deaths annually worldwide.In China,there are roughly 65 000 new cases and 35 000 deaths each year,showing a significant upward trend compared with 2015 statistics.Despite continuous advancements in treatment modalities,the 5-year survival rate remains stagnant at 50％-60％,where tumor heterogeneity and therapy resistance persist as fundamental barriers to precision oncology.To address these critical challenges,this study established a standardized bioban-king protocol for OSCC patient-derived organoids(PDOs)(Patent:Method for constructing an oral squa-mous cell carcinoma organoid bank,ZL202311378598.3).Through groundbreaking optimization of cul-ture media,enzymatic digestion kinetics,and stepwise cryopreservation,we achieved a biobanking suc-cess rate exceeding 95％and pioneered synchronous cultivation of matched primary tumors,lymph node metastases,and adjacent normal mucosa from individual patients,preserving spatial heterogeneity and stromal interactions.Leveraging this platform,we developed high-throughput drug screening:Quantified heterogeneity-driven differential chemoresponse using adenosine triphosphate(ATP)-based viability as-says;We discovered resistance mechanisms:Identified sialylated cancer IgG(SIA-cIgG)-mediated cis-platin resistance(primary/secondary)through PTPN13 suppression,with anti-SIA-cIgG combination therapy demonstrating synergistic efficacy.Besides,we elucidated metastatic drivers:CRISPR-Cas9-edited organoids revealed WDR54 promoted metastasis via H3K4me3/H4K16ac epigenetic reprogramming,activating epithelial-mesenchymal plasticity(EMP)and inducing partial epithelial-mesenchymal transi-tion(pEMT).This"holographic patient-mirroring"platform provided unprecedented resolution for OSCC precision therapy and had been formally incorporated into the Chinese Stomatological Association Techni-cal Guidelines(Technical guideline for establishing patient-derived oral squamous cell carcinoma or-ganoid banks,CHSA 2024-08).Future integration of immune-competent organoids,3D-bioprinted vas-culature,and multi-omics-AI systems will accelerate personalized oncology.These innovations will accelerate clinical translation of personalized therapeutic regimens,ultimately bridging the gap between bench research and bedside application.

Objective Based on the analysis of the results of retesting of blood donors with human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)serological single-reagent reactivity,the rationality and practical effect of the existing retesting strategy were discussed.Methods HIV serological single-reagent reactivity blood donors in Wenzhou from January to December 2023 were selected as the study objects,and were confirmed by Wenzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC)and returning test to confirm whether they could be returnee.Differences in return rates were analyzed by the basic data of blood donors and the S/CO value of HIV serological test during screening.Results Among the 374 HIV serological single-reagent reactivity blood donors,55 were confirmed by CDC with uncertain HIV antibodies,319 met the criteria for return,and 84 actively applied for return.78 showed no reactivity through self-test and return test and were allowed to return to the team.Four showed HIV serological reactivity,one showed HIV nucleic acid testing(NAT)test reactivity,permanent shielding.One showed the reactivity of anti-HIV chemiluminescence immunoassay test,and the HIV NAT test was noreactivity,and continued to be screened to participate in the next round of return.There were statistically significant differences in the permissible return rate of blood donors with different ages,blood types and blood donation times(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the allowed return rate of blood donors with different S/CO values during screening(χ2=1.898,P=0.168).Conclusion Reasonable return procedures can effectively reduce the loss of blood donors and ensure the safety of blood for clinical use.

A method that integrates the features of image patches from corneal lesions and conjunctival congestion-like complications is proposed to address the limitations of manual keratitis diagnosis(i.e.,time-consuming,laborious,high subjectivity)and the generally low accuracy of automatic keratitis diagnosis based on original slit-lamp images.Specifically,samples are acquired from the corneal and conjunctival regions.A cost-sensitive convolutional neural network is then used to extract and concatenate the high-level features of these image patches.After dimensionality reduction through principal component analysis,the processed features are input into the fully connected layer for classification.Trained and evaluated on 6414 slit-lamp images collected from Ningbo Eye Hospital,the proposed method achieves accuracies of 97.8%,98.6%,and 97.0%for keratitis,normal cornea,and other abnormal corneas,respectively.This method effectively integrates relevant features and provides a feasible solution for high-accuracy keratitis diagnosis.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(CJD)is a rapidly progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by prions,with certain infectivity and iatrogenic transmission risks.With the rapid progress and application of new dia-gnostic biomarkers and detection methods,as well as the construction and improvement of surveillance and reporting systems,the detection of CJD in patients domestically and internationally has shown an increasing trend year by year.Due to its long incubation period and heterogeneity of early symptoms,early identification and diagnosis of the disease is difficult,increasing the risk of transmission within medical institutions.Currently,there is a lack of con-sensus on the infection prevention and control of CJD.In order to timely identify and diagnose CJD as well as effec-tively block its transmission in medical institutions,this consensus summarizes 15 clinical concerns and formulates 24 specific recommendations based on the latest domestic and international research findings and clinical evidence,as well as combines with clinical practice,aiming to standardize healthcare-associated infection prevention and control measures for CJD and reduce its transmission risk in medical institutions.

Through consulting herbal medicine， medical books， and local chronicles from past dynasties to modern times， this paper systematically researched Spatholobi Caulis from name， origin， producing areas， harvesting， processing， usage， quality evaluation， functions and indications， providing a reference for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing Spatholobi Caulis. According to the research， Spatholobi Caulis was first recorded in the Annals of Shunning Prefecture from the Qing dynasty. It was originally a medicinal herb commonly used in Shunning， Yunnan， and was named from the red juice resembling chicken blood that flowed out after the vein was cut off. The mainstream original plants of each dynasty were Kadsura heteroclita and Spatholobus suberectus. Among them， K. heteroclita mainly focused on dispersing blood stasis and unblocking meridians， mainly treating rheumatic pain and injuries caused by falls or blows， and it is mostly used as the raw material of Jixueteng ointments. S. suberectus was commonly used as decoction pieces in decoction， which had the functions of promoting blood circulation and replenishing blood， activating meridians and collaterals， and mainly used for treating anemia， irregular menstruation， and rheumatic bone pain. The production area of Spatholobi Caulis recorded in the Qing dynasty was Yunnan. Currently， the main production area of S. suberectus is Guangxi， while the main production area of K. interior is Yunnan. In the Qing dynasty， the usage of Spatholobi Caulis was an individual prescription with other herbs before making ointments， which was usually composed of the juice of it， safflower， angelica， and glutinous rice. But in modern times， Spatholobi Caulis is mostly sliced and dried for use. The quality of Spatholobi Caulis is often determined by the number of reddish-brown concentric circles on the cut surface， with a higher number indicating better quality. Additionally， the presence of resinous secretions is also considered desirable. Based on the research findings， it is suggested that when developing famous classical formulas containing Spatholobi Caulis， the choice of the primary source should be S. suberectus or K. heteroclita， taking into consideration the therapeutic effects of the formula. It is also recommended that the latest plant classification be referenced in the next edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， adjusting the primary source of Kadsurae Caulis to K. heteroclita to avoid confusion caused by inconsistent original names， and the functions adjust to promote Qi circulation and relieve pain， disperse blood stasis and unblock collaterals， treating injuries caused by falls and bruises.
