Objective:
To analyze the characteristics of alcohol poisoning cases among minors receiving pre hospital 120 emergency services in Zhengzhou, providing evidence for regional management strategies of alcohol poisoning among minors.
Methods:
A retrospective study was conducted on 1 630 alcohol poisoning cases (aged 0-18 years) from Zhengzhou s 120 emergency system during 2017-2019 and 2023. Data on gender, age, occurrence timeframes were analyzed using t-test and χ 2 test for intergroup comparisons.
Results:
Annual cases were 291 (2017), 353 (2018), 483 (2019), and 503 (2023). Compared with 2017, male alcohol poisoning cases increased by 66.94% while female cases surged 104.35% by 2023. The peak incidence of alcohol poisoning among minors occurred among 16-18 year olds (85.40%), followed by 13-15 year olds (13.74%). Most cases clustered between 21:01-03:00 (60.43%), with male cases peaking at 22:01-23:00 (12.73%) and female cases peaking at 02:01-03:00 ( 11.25 %). Between 00:01-03:00, male cases progressively decreased while female cases increased. Severity distribution showed 355 mild cases (21.78%), 1 035 moderate cases (63.50%), and 240 severe cases (14.72%).
Conclusions
Zhengzhou region has experienced sustained growth in underage alcohol poisoning cases, predominantly occurring from evening to early morning with moderate severity, female cases demonstrate faster growth rates. Multifaceted regulatory measures should be implemented to strengthen supervision of underage drinking behaviors.

Dendrobium moniliforme (D. moniliforme) is a traditional medicinal herb widely cultivated in Asia. Flavonoids, one of the largest groups of secondary metabolites in plants, are significant medicinal components in Dendrobium species. Several subgroups of R2R3-MYB proteins have been validated to directly regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Using PacBio sequencing technology, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level D. moniliforme genome with a total length of 1.20 Gb and a contig N50 of 3.97 Mb. The BUSCO assessment of genome annotation was 91.4%. By integrating the genome and transcriptome, we identified biosynthesis pathway enzyme genes related to flavonoids, polysaccharides, carotenoids, and alkaloids. A total of 90 R2R3-MYBs were identified in D. moniliforme and classified into 21 subgroups. Studies on the functions of R2R3-MYB transcription factors revealed that R2R3-MYB in SG6 can up-regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Various validation experiments, including subcellular localization, transient overexpression, UPLC-MS/MS, HPLC, yeast one-hybrid, and dual-luciferase assays, demonstrated that DMYB69 directly up-regulates the expression of enzyme genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, increasing the content of flavonoids such as anthocyanin, flavone, and flavonol. Additionally, DMYB44 was shown to directly up-regulate the expression of carotenoid biosynthesis enzyme genes, thereby increasing carotenoid content. This study provides an essential genome resource and theoretical basis for molecular breeding research in D. moniliforme.

Objective:To investigate the association of monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) with the severity of white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) and its spatial distribution.Methods:Patients admitted to the Department of Neurology, Jiangning Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University due to various chronic diseases or physical examinations between January 2023 and December 2024 were included retrospectively. Past medical history, clinical and imaging data were collected. The Fazekas scale was used to assess the severity of WMHs. According to the scoring results of periventricular WMHs (PVWMHs) and deep WMHs (DWMHs), WMHs were divided into no/mild group (0-1 points) and moderate/severe group (2-3 points). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine independent correlation factors for the severity of WMHs, PVWMHs, and DWMHs. Results:A total of 357 patients were included, aged 65.42±9.95 years, with 198 males (55.5%). There were 193 patients (54.1%) in the no/mild group and 164 (45.9%) in the moderate/severe group. Univariate analysis showed that the proportion of patients with hypertension, diabetes, history of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage, carotid plaque, and age, serum creatinine, monocyte count and MHR in the moderate/severe group were significantly higher than those in the no/mild group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed a significant positive correlation between MHR and the severity of WMHs (odds ratio 3.138, 95% confidence interval 1.042-9.451; P=0.042). Further analysis showed a significant positive correlation between MHR and PVWMHs (odds ratio 3.384, 95% confidence interval 1.111-10.305; P=0.032), but no independent correlation with DWMHs. In addition, age and hypertension, diabetes, history of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage were significantly positively correlated with the severity of WMHs, PVWMHs and DWMHs. Conclusion:MHR is correlated with the severity of WMHs, and higher MHR is significantly associated with PVWMHs, but not with DWMHs.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between body mass index (BMI)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio and cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) in middle-aged and elderly people.Methods:Consecutive middle-aged and elderly patients (aged ≥40 years) who were hospitalized for chronic disease examinations in the Department of Neurology, Jiangning Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University between February 2022 and May 2024 were included prospectively. According to the overall burden score of CSVD, they were divided into CSVD group (≥1) and non-CSVD group (0). According to age, they divided into middle-aged group (40-59 years old) and elderly group (≥60 years old). The demographic characteristics and clinical data were collected. Binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent correlation between BMI/HDL-C ratio and CSVD. Forest plot was used to analyze the correlation between BMI/HDL-C ratio and CSVD in different age groups. Results:A total of 710 patients were included, with an age of 66.0±10.0 years and 361 were males (50.8%). There were 261 patients (36.8%) in the CSVD group and 449 (63.2%) in the non-CSVD group. The BMI/HDL-C ratio in the CSVD group was significantly higher than that in the non-CSVD group (23.60±7.00 vs. 20.78±6.40; P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI/HDL-C ratio was an independent risk factor for CSVD in middle-aged and elderly populations (odds ratio 1.046, 95% confidence interval 1.027-1.064; P<0.001). There were 475 patients in the elderly group, of which 198 (41.7%) had CSVD; there were 235 patients in the middle-aged group, of which 63 (26.8%) had CSVD. Forest plot analysis showed that the association between BMI/HDL-C ratio and CSVD still had statistical significance in different age groups, but the effect intensity was higher in the elderly group than in the middle-aged group. Conclusion:The BMI/HDL-C ratio is independently correlated with CSVD in middle-aged and elderly population, particularly significant in the elderly population.

After the onset of ischemic stroke, microglia undergo lipid metabolic reprogramming, especially lipid droplet accumulation, which significantly affects their polarization state and inflammatory response. Lipid droplets can exacerbate neuroinflammation by synthesizing inflammatory lipid mediators, and may also have a protective effect under certain conditions. Its metabolic reprogramming involves multiple pathway regulation such as fatty acid oxidation and cholesterol efflux. This article reviews the mechanism of changes in lipid droplet metabolism of microglia and its role in the pathological process after stroke, aiming to provide new ideas for metabolic intervention strategies.

Building on a clear understanding of the diagnosis and treatment patterns for cold-damp epidemics, and incorporating the insights of Academician TONG Xiaolin regarding the differentiation and treatment of such epidemics, this article have distilled the key diagnostic principles. These principles primarily entail observing color and pulse, initially distinguishing between yin and yang, with treatment focusing on dispelling cold and dampness. A comprehensive approach is adopted throughout treatment, with a combination of overall strategies and tailored treatments that evolve in line with the patient's condition. In critical and severe cases, particular attention is given to aspects such as sweating, pulse analysis, and consciousness, preventing the pathogen from penetrating deeply. Efforts are made to open and close organ networks, expelling external pathogens without fixating on resolving constipation. The dosage and efficacy of herbal remedies are adjusted based on individual circumstances and clinical symptoms. The objective is to eliminate pathogens comprehensively, while being vigilant against relapses, ultimately achieving a full recovery. This overview of the thought processes and clinical principles for diagnosing and treating cold-damp epidemics will guide precise clinical practices and provide a theoretical foundation for the involvement of traditional Chinese medicine in epidemic prevention and treatment.

【Objective:】 To understand the current status of narrative nursing knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among nurses in grade A tertiary hospitals, and to provide a basis for the development of narrative nursing in relevant areas. 【Methods:】 Using convenience sampling methods, 931 nurses from three grade A tertiary hospitals in Xi’an were selected as subjects. A cross-sectional survey was conducted using the Clinical Nurses’ Narrative Nursing Knowledge and Trustworthiness Questionnaire and the General Self-Efficacy Scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of nurses’ narrative nursing KAP. 【Results:】 The scores on the three dimensions of narrative nursing KAP were (23.70±2.99) points, (31.69±5.92) points, and (30.26±5.32) points, respectively. Nursing workload, general self-efficacy, professional title, and nursing satisfaction were the influencing factors of nurses’ narrative nursing knowledge dimension (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in nurses’ narrative nursing attitude dimension among nursing workload, general self-efficacy, professional title, monthly income, and nursing satisfaction (P<0.05). Nursing workload, general self-efficacy, nursing satisfaction, and accompanying experience were the influencing factors of nurses’ narrative nursing behavior dimension (P<0.05). 【Conclusion:】 Nurses in grade A tertiary hospitals have moderate narrative nursing knowledge, positive attitudes, and poor practice execution. The high nursing workload is the main barrier factor for the current development of narrative nursing. Nursing managers should actively build a diversified training system and guarantee system to boost the development of narrative nursing in clinical nursing work, and further promote the development of narrative nursing concepts.

This article highlighted the invaluable expertise of Academician TONG Xiaolin in managing severe cases of COVID-19, thereby providing ideas for the treatment of severe and critically ill patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection by integrating traditional Chinese and western medicine. It is believed that COVID-19 belongs to the “cold dampness epidemic” in traditional Chinese medicine, which is caused by pathogenic qi of cold and dampness. The course of the disease can be divided into four stages: constraint, block, collapse, and deficiency, and the severe cases are mainly in the block and collapse stages. The pathogenesis at the block stage is described as epidemic toxins blocking the lung, which should be treated by diffusing the lung and unblocking the bowels, resolving phlegm and unblocking collaterals. The primary formula used is Zilong Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction (子龙宣白承气汤) with modifications based on individual condition. The pathogenesis at the collapse stage is described as internal block and external collapse, which should be treated by restoring yang to save from collapse, boosting qi to relieve collapse, diffusing the lung and unblocking the bowels, resolving phlegm and unblocking collaterals, usually with the formula Poge Zilong Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction (破格子龙宣白承气汤) with modifications.

“Cold-dampness entering ying (营)” is the key to the worsening of cold-dampness epidemic, and is more common in the elderly or critically ill cases of cold-dampness epidemic with pathogen exuberance and healthy qi deficiency. This paper reported a case of critically ill COVID-19 combined with multiple organ dysfunction treated by integrative traditional Chinese and western medicine based on “cold-dampness entering ying” theory. The patient did not have high fever after being infected with SARS-Cov-2, but D-dimer continued to increase, and she developed multiple thrombosis throughout the body and multiple organ dysfunctions such as pulmonary embolism, edema, oliguria, and shock. The patient were with enlarged and dusky tongue, with yellow, thick and greasy coating, and sublingual blood stasis, and thready, rapid and rough pulse. All these were characteristic manifestations of “cold-dampness entering ying”, and was differentiated as cold-dampness stasis. For the treatment, symptomatic and supportive western medicine of improving heart function, anti-infection, relieving asthma, stopping cough and reducing phlegm was given as the basic therapy, and additionally, traditional Chinese medicine to open the constraint and the blocked, save from collapse and restore yang, boost qi and relieve collapse, invigorate blood and drain water was used, usually with Modified Poge Zilong Xuanbai Chengqi Decoction (破格子龙宣白承气汤加减), which was in accordance with the pathogenesis and thus achieving good effect.
