ObjectiveTo compare the morphological characteristics， phenological stages， and chemical components of two traditional Chaenomeles speciosa cultivars—"Luohanqi" and "Pingguohong"， thus providing a basis for new cultivar breeding， standardized cultivation， and quality evaluation of authentic medicinal materials. MethodsThe morphological indices of leaves， floral organs， and fruits of the two cultivars were measured， and the phenological sequences were recorded. Microplate assays and high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） were employed to determine the levels of total flavonoids， total phenols， polysaccharides， amino acids， oleanolic acid， and ursolic acid. Finally， comprehensive comparative analysis was conducted. ResultsThe two cultivars exhibited generally similar tree vigor but showed significant differences in internode length， leaf morphology， floral organs， fruit development， and phenological stages. "Luohanqi" had significantly larger leaves ［length： （124.7±11.97） mm vs. （105.06±9.16） mm； width： （47.81±4.68） mm vs. （41.98±5.15） mm］， a wider ovary diameter ［（10.76±1.25） mm vs. （8.28±1.18） mm］， a higher fruit shape index （1.6 vs. 1.2）， and a much higher calyx persistence rate （78.28% vs. 8.02%） than "Pingguohong". Its phenological stages were 7-18 days later than those of "Pingguohong". No significant differences were found in the levels of total flavonoids， total phenols， total polysaccharides， total amino acids， or oleanolic acid， while "Pingguohong" had significantly higher ursolic acid content than "Luohanqi". ConclusionThe two main cultivars of C. speciosa in Xuancheng city， Anhui province exhibit marked differences in leaf morphology， floral organ structure， fruit traits， calyx persistence， phenological stages， and chemical composition. These findings provide a scientific basis for subsequent breeding of new cultivars， targeted cultivation， and studies on quality formation of authentic medicinal materials.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

A variety of plants are used as Gymnadenia conopsea(L.)R.Br medicine in some areas.According to statistics,there are 7 genera and 16 species of Orchidaceae.There is confusion in medicinal varieties,which seriously affects drug safety and rational utilization of resources.Based on the national standards,this article conducted a textual research from the aspects of ancient herbs,modern monographs,the name of the reference,base,property and taste and efficacy and other aspects.The results showed that,the Gymnadenia conopsea(L.)R.Br medicine is named Erheten nai gar,and the Tibetan medicine is named Wangla,and most of the herbs take"Gymnadenia conopsea(L.)R.Br"as the name.The mainstream varieties of Gymnadenia conopsea(L.)R.Br,a plant of the genus Gymnadenia of Orchidaceae,were born in arid grassland or wetland and meadow,with palmlike roots,green stems and leaves and pink and white flowers.Gymnadenia conopsea(L.)R.Br is different in property and taste and efficacy when used as different ethnic medicines,but it has the commonness of tonifying kidney,producing sperm and strengthening yang and nourishing.The conclusion of textual research could provide references for the resource conservation,rational research and utilization,and artificial cultivation of Gymnadenia conopsea(L.)R.Br resources.

Objective To explore the ArcCHECK system-based methods for dose verification of ultra-long target for cervical cancer VMAT so as to assure the precision of cervical cancer radiotherapy.Methods A total of 33 patients with ultra-long target(target length≥26 cm)admitted to some hospital for cervical cancer VMAT from 2021 to 2023 were selected retrospectively,and radiotherapy plans were designed for the patients with VMAT technology and verified dosimetrically with different methods.Firstly,the dose distribution data were collected respectively at 5 and 8 cm away from the center of the ArcCHECK system along the bed exit direction,and enrolled into Group Test 1 and Test 2 respectively.Then the ArcCHECK system was flipped 180°,and the dose distribution data were acquired at 8 cm away from the center along the bed exit direction and included into Group Test 3.Dose merging between Group Test 2 and Test 3 with the Merge function was carried out to obtain the dose distribution data which were divided into Group Test 4.The monitor units of Group Test 1,2 and 4 were summarized,and difference analyses were performed on the length of the target area,detection point and irradiation time.Group Test 1,2 and 4 were compared in terms of γ pass rate,normalized dose deviation,confidence limit(CL)of pass rate and acceptance rate(γ pass rate≥95%and γ pass rate≥90%).Spearman's correlation coefficient was used to correlate the parameters such as maximum transverse diameter,length,volume and monitor unit of the target area and expected execution time of the plan.SPSS 19.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results Group Test 1,2 and 4 had the monitor unit being(758.76±107.63)MU,and had statistically significant differences in length of the target area,detection point and irradiation time(P<0.01).In Group Test 4 γ pass rate under 2%/2 mm criterion did not reach 90%,and in Group Test 1 and 2 γ pass rates under 3%/3 mm and 3%/2 mm criteria both amounted to 95%.Group Test 1,2 and 4 had statistically significant differences in γ pass rate and normalized dose deviation(all P<0.05).In Group Test 1 there were more than 90%of the verification results where γ pass rate≥95%and more than 95%where γ pass rate≥90%under 3%/3 mm criterion.The monitor unit was positively correlated with the maximum transverse diameter,length and volume of the target area,respectively(0.337≤r≤0.568,P<0.05),and the expected execution time of the plan was positively correlated with the volume and monitor unit of the target area,respectively(0.457≤r≤0.517,P<0.01).Conclusion The dose verification method with the target at 5 cm away from the center along the bed exit direction can be applied clinically with high feasibility to the dose verification during the radiotherapy of the cervical cancer VMAT patients with ultra-long target,with the safety of the verification devices ensured effectively.

BACKGROUND:In recent years,human pluripotent stem cell derived kidney organoids and rodent models of diabetic kidney disease have also made some progress.However,because the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease is affected by environmental factors and genetic factors,the pathogenesis is complex,and the clinical treatment for diabetic kidney disease patients needs to vary from person to person.Therefore,more flexible and integrated approaches need to be developed,leading to the discovery of strong preclinical evidence to support more targeted interventions in patients with diabetic kidney disease.OBJECTIVE:To reviewthe research progress of diabetic kidney disease model from the aspects of diabetic kidney disease animal model,two-dimensional cell culture simulation diabetic kidney disease model,and three-dimensional organoid diabetic kidney disease model,to provide clues and ideas for further research.METHODS:China National Knowledge Network and PubMed databases were searched with"diabetes,diabetic nephropathy,diabetic kidney diseases,diabetic nephropathy models,diabetic nephropathy animal models,organoids,diabetic and organoids,diabetic and kidney organoids,kidney organoids,diabetic nephropathy cell models,diabetic nephropathy syndrome combined animal models"as Chinese and English search terms.Totally 101 articles were finally included for review and analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Both in vivo and in vitro models of diabetic kidney disease are powerful tools to further study the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease.The interactions between multiple systems can be observed in animal models.Two-dimensional cell culture is easy to operate and low cost.The emerging kidney organoids fill the gap between two-dimensional and global levels,without species differences,and simulate the complexity of human kidney to a certain extent.With the continuous development of organoid technology,kidney organoids are expected to provide a new perspective for exploring the pathogenesis,pathophysiology,and drug screening of diabetic kidney disease.
