Fresh-cut processing constitutes a pivotal technique in the origin processing of Chinese medicinal materials， with a long history documented in multiple materia medica. In recent years， it has garnered national policy support for its ability to prevent component loss and low processing efficiency associated with traditional drying-before-cutting methods. As of August 2025， 26 provinces and municipalities nationwide have cumulatively published 789 species for fresh-cut processing. Among these， 78 were included in the 2025 edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. However， the practice continues to face common challenges and difficulties， including ambiguous scientific understanding， fragmented standards， limited quality control approaches， and poor process stability. Based on this， this paper synthesises years of research findings to systematically elucidate the core mechanisms of fresh-cut processing. These encompass alterations to herbal tissue structure during cutting， post-processing changes in constituents， and physiological-biochemical processes such as plant stress responses and shifts in endogenous enzyme activity. It also summarises influencing factors， including inherent herbal properties， cutting timing and methods， and environmental conditions like temperature， humidity， and microbial presence. Based on this overview of fresh-cutting mechanisms， subsequent research should advance in four directions：Clarifying the scientific principles of fresh-cutting， overcoming technical bottlenecks， upgrading intelligent equipment， and establishing quality standards and evaluation systems. This study provides a theoretical foundation and scientific basis for future research on fresh-cutting in traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）， promoting its deeper practical application within the industry and contributing to the high-quality development of TCM industry and the modernization of TCM.

ObjectiveTo investigate the migration and distribution characteristics of chemical constituents in blood and hippocampal tissues before and after vinegar processing of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride（CRPV）， and to explore the potential material basis and mechanisms underlying their regulatory effects on emotional disorders by comparing the effects of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was employed to characterize and identify the chemical constituents of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV extracts， as well as their migrating components in blood and hippocampal tissues after oral administration. Reference standards， databases， and relevant literature were utilized for compound annotation， with data processing performed using PeakView 1.2 software. Seventy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into seven groups， including the blank group， model group， diazepam group（2.5 mg·kg^-1）， raw CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， and vinegar-processed CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice per group. Except for the blank group， all other groups underwent chronic restraint stress（2 h·d^-1） for 20 d. Each drug-treated group received oral administration at the predetermined dose starting 10 d after modeling， with a total treatment duration of 10 d. Following model-based drug administration， mice underwent open-field， forced swimming， and elevated plus maze tests. After anesthesia with isoflurane， whole brains were collected from each group of mice， and hippocampi were dissected. Reactive oxygen species（ROS） level in hippocampal tissues was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe hippocampal tissue morphology. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neuronal nuclei（NeuN） and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha（PPARα） expressions in hippocampal tissue. Then， pharmacodynamic evaluations were conducted to assess the effects of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV on mood disorders， exploring the potential mechanisms. ResultsVinegar processing caused significant changes in the chemical composition of CRPV， with 18 components showing increased relative content and 35 components showing decreased relative content. The primary changes occurred in flavonoid compounds， including 20 flavonoids， 20 flavonoid glycosides， 3 triterpenes， 3 phenolic acids， 1 alkaloid， and 6 other compounds. Twenty-one components were detected in blood（15 methoxyflavones， 4 flavonoid glycosides， and 2 phenolic acids）， with 17 shared between raw and vinegar-processed CRPV. Seven components reached hippocampal tissues（all common to both forms）. In regulating emotional disorders， Vinegar-processed CRPV exhibited superior antidepressant-like effects compared to raw products. HE staining revealed that both treatments improved hippocampal neuronal morphology， particularly in the damaged CA1 and CA3 regions. Immunofluorescence and ELISA analyses demonstrated that both raw and vinegar-processed CRPV significantly modulated NeuN and PPARα expressions in hippocampal tissue while alleviating oxidative stress induced by excessive ROS（P<0.05）. ConclusionThe chemical composition of CRPV undergoes changes after vinegar processing， but the migrating components in blood and hippocampus are primarily methoxyflavonoids. These components may serve as the potential material basis for activating the PPARα pathway， thereby negatively regulating ROS generation in the hippocampus， reducing oxidative stress， and promoting the development of NeuN-positive neurons. These findings provide experimental evidence for enhancing quality standards， pharmacodynamic material research， and active drug development of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of gemcitabine and cisplatin (GP) regimen in combination with immune checkpoint inhibitor sintilimab as neoadjuvant therapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) patients and the feasibility of the following selective bladder sparing surgery. Materials and Methods: Patients with histopathologically confirmed urothelial carcinoma without distant metastases (T2-4a, N ≤ 1, M0, American Joint Committee of Cancer 8th) and with adequate organ function will be enrolled. The therapeutic regimen was sintilimab 200 mg once on day 8, gemcitabine 1,000 mg/m2 and cisplatin 35 mg/m2 once on days 1 and 8, every 21 days for four cycles. The primary endpoint was pathologic complete response (pCR, pT0N0) rate. The secondary end points were ypT < 2 rate, R0 resection rate, event-free survival, and safety. Results: From May 4, 2020, to May 20, 2023, 55 patients were enrolled. Forty-six patients were evaluated for efficacy. Among the 42 patients who underwent surgery, 16 patients (38.0%) achieved pCR. Thirty-three patients (78.6%) achieved pT < 2. With a median follow-up of 15.7 months, the 1-year event-free survival was 91.3%. Notwithstanding the poor pathological baseline characteristic of a high T3-T4a proportion (39.1%), a promising bladder preservation (including 22 patients transurethral resection of bladder tumor, 5 patients partial cystectomy, and 4 surveillances) rate was achieved (67.4%). The most common grade ≥ 3 treatment-related adverse events was neutropenia (n=15, 27.3%), which was related to chemotherapy. There were no grade 3 immune-related adverse events. Conclusion Neoadjuvant GP plus sintilimab is a promising regimen for MIBC patients, with relatively high pT < 2 rate and triggering the emerging roles for the multi-disciplinary team decision-making for bladder sparing surgery.

Objective: To explore the correlation between parent-child separation experience and non suicidal self injury (NSSI) behavior among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide a reference for the prevention and improvement of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students. Methods: Using a stratified cluster random sampling method, 3 114 junior and senior high school students aged 11-19 years were recruited from Chenzhou and Jishou cities in Hunan Province between November 2024 and September 2025. A self designed questionnaire and the Functional Self injury Behavior Assessment Scale were used to collect information on parental labor migration and adolescents NSSI behavior status. Binary Logistic regression model was used to analyse the association between parent-child separation experiences and NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students, with further stratified analysis by gender. Results: The prevalence rate of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students was 9.9%, and the overall incidence of parent-child separation was 48.9%, comprising 17.1% separated from their father only, 5.5% separated from their mother only, and 26.3% separated from both parents. After adjusting for variables such as age, gender, and ethnicity, the results of binary Logistic regression analyses indicated that adolescents with parent-child separation experiences had a higher risk of NSSI behavior ( OR =1.31, 95% CI =1.01-1.69, P <0.05). Compared with those without parent-child separation experiences, adolescents who were separated from their mother only ( OR =1.68, 95% CI =1.03-2.74) or from both parents ( OR =1.41, 95% CI =1.04-1.92) showed significantly increased risks of NSSI behavior (both P <0.05). Conclusions Parent-child separation experiences are associated with an increased risk of NSSI behavior among junior and senior high school students. Strengthened attention should be paid to left behind senior high school students to reduce the occurrence of NSSI in adolescents.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of a clustered outbreak of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome(SFTS)as well as the ecological tick monitoring results for Zibo City, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating prevention and control strategies. Methods A case definition was cited before epidemic investigations were performed. Epidemiological investigations were performed on the index cases and their close contacts. Blood samples were collected from cases and close contacts, and quantitative real-time RT-PCR was used to detect SFTS virus(SFTSV)nucleic acid sequences. A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze risk factors and develop prevention and control strategies. Results This clustered outbreak involved two index cases and six close contacts with no deaths. Case A exhibited symptom onset on July 26. SFTS was confirmed on August 2. Case B exhibited symptom onset on August 1, and SFTS was confirmed on August 3. Patient B reported a recent history of tick bites. In both index cases, the incubation period for SFTS was inferred to be 7-12 days. The time interval from symptom onset to clinical diagnosis in the two cases ranged from 2-8 days, with an average period of 5 days. SFTSV nucleic acid test result were positive for both patients, whereas all six close contacts tested negative. All captured ticks tested negative for SFTSV using quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The densities of parasitic and free-living ticks in the emergency monitoring area around the cases were 12.60 and 4.65 ticks/(flag·100 m). In 2024, the average parasitic tick index and free-living tick density index were 4.21 and 2.43 ticks/(flag ·100 m)in Yiyuan County, respectively. Conclusions No evidence of human-to-human transmission was found in the assessed SFTS clusters. The infections were likely acquired through tick bites during fieldwork, and the risk of a subsequent outbreak spreading was low.

Objective: To examine the association between health behaviors and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide evidence for combined behavioral interventions targeting adolescent mental health. Methods: From September to November 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 104 834 junior and senior high school students from all 13 prefecture level cities (124 districts/counties) in Heilongjiang Province, China. Multivariable Logistic regression models, as well as multiplicative and additive interaction analyses were employed to analyze the associations between health behaviors and depressive symptoms, and Chi-square tests for trend were conducted to explore ,the changing tendency in the risk of depressive symptoms with increasing numbers of health behaviors among junior and senior high school students. Results: Healthy diet ( OR =0.66, 95% CI =0.63-0.68), healthy physical activity ( OR =0.47, 95% CI =0.45-0.49), healthy outdoor activity ( OR =0.55, 95% CI =0.52-0.57), healthy sleep ( OR =0.72, 95% CI =0.69-0.75), and healthy screen use ( OR =0.79, 95% CI =0.76-0.82) were independently associated with lower rates of depressive symptoms (all P <0.01). The risk of depressive symptoms decreased progressively with an increasing cumulative number of health behaviors ( χ 2 trend =996.73, P <0.01). Except for the interaction between healthy diet and healthy sleep, significant additive interactions were observed among the remaining health behaviors( RERI =0.07-0.23,all P <0.05). The probability of depressive symptoms was lower among girls with 2-3 healthy behaviors than among boys ( Z =2.51, 2.65), lower among urban students with 2-3 healthy behaviors than among suburban county students ( Z =-2.36, -2.04), and lower among senior high school students with 2-4 healthy behaviors than among junior high school students ( Z =2.17, 2.10, 2.04) (all P <0.05). Conclusions Health behaviors are significantly associated with depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students. The probability of depressive symptoms is lower among girls, urban students, and senior high school students who engage in multiple healthy behaviors. Implementing combined interventions targeting multiple health behaviors in these populations may yield greater benefits.

Objective To explore the role of E1A binding protein p300 (EP300)-mediated crotonylation (Kcr) modification of malic enzyme 1 (ME1) in ferroptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells. Methods C57BL/6 mice were divided into Sham operation group (Sham group), DMSO vehicle control + ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury group (Vehi + IR group), and EP300 inhibitor C646 + IR injury group (C646 + IR group), with 12 mice in each group. Pathological changes in renal tissues were evaluated in each group, and indicators of renal function, ferroptosis, and fibrosis were assessed. Another 24 mice were used to establish the IR injury model to analyze changes in Kcr modification levels and EP300 expression over the 14-day course of IR injury. The in vitro HK-2 cell experimental model was established and divided into control group, hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) group, and C646 + H/R group. Corresponding HK-2 cells were transfected with the ME1-K337R plasmid, in which lysine 337 (K) was mutated to arginine (R) to mimic the de-Kcr modification. Small interfering RNA was used to target EP300 and transfect the cells in order to obtain EP300 knockdown cells (siEP300). The expression of ferroptosis-related proteins and fibrosis phenotypes was detected. Results At 14 d after IR injury, the protein Kcr level and EP300 expression were increased in mice. Compared with the Sham group, the Vehi+IR group showed markedly disrupted renal tissue structure, extensive red collagen deposition in the renal interstitium, decreased expression levels of glutathione, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4, P＜0.01), increased malondialdehyde and serum creatinine levels (P＜0.01), decreased ME1 enzymatic activity (P＜0.001), and increased expression of fibronectin 1 and smooth muscle actin-α (P＜0.001). Compared with the Vehi+IR group, the C646+IR group showed alleviated renal pathological injury, improved renal function, and reduced ferroptosis and fibrosis (P＜0.05). Compared with the control group, HK-2 cells subjected to H/R treatment exhibited aggravated ferroptosis and fibrosis (P＜0.05); compared with the H/R group, the C646+H/R group showed reduced ferroptosis and fibrosis (P＜0.05). Transfection with the ME1-K337R plasmid and siEP300 showed reduced ME1 Kcr, ferroptosis, and fibrosis. Conclusions EP300 contributes to ferroptosis in renal tubular epithelial cells by mediating ME1 crotonylation, and inhibition of EP300 may help alleviate the chronic progression following IR injury.

Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanism of quercetin in the treatment of periodontitis.Methods The rat periodontitis model was induced using ligation combined with lipopolysaccharide(LPS)injection method.Fifty successfully modeled periodontitis rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:the model group,the quercetin group(100 mg/kg quercetin by oral gavage),the quercetin+fibroblast growth factor receptor 1(FGFR1)overexpression plasmid(AV-FGFR1)group[100 mg/kg quercetin by oral gavage+10 nmol AV-FGFR1 via tail vein injection],the AV-FGFR1 group(10 nmol FGFR1 overexpression plasmids via tail vein injection),and the AV-NC group(10 nmol empty plasmids via tail vein injection),with 10 rats in each group.The normal group(10 rats)received the same volume of saline by oral gavage.After treatment completion,alveolar bone loss was observed by Micro-CT,periodontal tissue damage was observed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,serum levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-1β,and IL-18 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),the proportion of FGFR1-positive cells in periodontal tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry,and protein expression levels of the FGFR1/Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4)/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway were analyzed by Western Blot.Results Compared with the normal group,the model group and AV-FGFR1 group showed significantly decreased bone mineral density(BMD)and bone volume/tissue volume(BV/TV),while serum TNF-α,IL-1β,IL-18 levels,the proportion levels of FGFR1-positive cells,and protein expression levels of FGFR1,TLR4,NF-κB p65,NLRP3,apoptosis-associated speck-like protein(ASC),and cleaved cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase caspase-1(C-caspase-1)were increased,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).The AV-FGFR1 group exhibited more obvious decrease or increase effects.Administration of quercetin significantly improved these indexes in the model group.However,the therapeutic effects of quercetin were weakened after FGFR1 overexpression.Conclusion Quercetin can repair alveolar bone loss,ameliorate histopathological damage,and alleviate inflammatory injury in periodontitis rats,which may be mediated through inhibition of the FGFR1/TLR4/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.
