With the ongoing development of nuclear energy,radiotherapy,and space exploration,ionizing radiation poses a growing threat to human health.Studies have confirmed that high-intensity or prolonged exposure can lead to apoptosis,genetic damage,immune dysfunction,and multisystem disorders,underscoring the urgent need for effective protective strategies.This review aims to explore the molecular mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in radiation protection and assess its potential applications in extreme environments such as aerospace.A systematic literature review was conducted to summarize existing research on anti-radiation effects of single herbs,compound prescriptions,and Chinese patent medicines.The pharmacological features and action mechanisms of heat-clearing and detoxifying,tonifying,blood-activating,and tranquilizing herbs were analyzed,with emphasis on their applications in radiotherapy support and aerospace radiation protection.TCM exerts radioprotective effects through multiple biological pathways,including antioxidation,free radical scavenging,DNA repair,immune regulation,and tissue regeneration.Some Chinese patent medicines have been clinically applied as adjuncts to chemo-and radiotherapy,demonstrating benefits in reducing side effects and improving treatment tolerance.Certain herbal components have also shown promising potential in space radiation protection research.TCM has significant potential in radiation protection,particularly in high-risk settings such as spaceflight,where it offers integrated regulatory and protective effects.Future research should focus on elucidating mechanisms,standardizing efficacy evaluation,and promoting clinical translation to support its broader application in nuclear energy,medical radiotherapy,and deep space exploration.

Objective To observe the value of artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction(AIIR)for abdominal and pelvic CT examination after total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods Totally 64 patients after THA who underwent abdominal and pelvic CT examinations were retrospectively collected,including 31 patients received routine CT scanning and 33 patients received dual-energy CT scanning.AIIR and hybrid iterative reconstruction(HIR)algorithms were used to obtain AIIR and HIR images based on conventional CT images,respectively,while 70-140 keV(interval of 5 keV)virtual monoenergetic images(VMI)were reconstructed based on dual-energy CT images.VMI with the best comprehensive imaging qualities were selected for analysis.Subjective scores and objective evaluation results of imaging quality were compared among different kinds of images.Results The subjective scores of artifacts,bones,diagnostic confidence,as well as displaying of pelvic organs and blood vessels on both AIIR images and VMI were all higher than those of HIR images(all P＜0.001),while no significant difference was found between AIIR images and VMI(all P＞0.017).Pairwise comparison of high-density artifact fraction and skeletal artifact fraction on AIIR,HIR images and VMI showed significant differences(all P＜0.001).No significant difference of low density artifact fraction nor high density noise fraction was detected between AIIR image and VMI(both P＞0.017),and the objective evaluation results were different from those of HIR images(both P＜0.017).The low density noise fraction of AIIR images was lower than that of HIR images(P＜0.017),while no significant difference was found between AIIR or HIR images and VMI(both P＞0.017).The bone noise fraction of AIIR and HIR images were both higher than that of VMI(both P＜0.017),while no significant difference was found between these two kinds of images(P＞0.017).Conclusion AIIR could reduce artifacts and image noise of abdominal and pelvic CT examination after THA and improve imaging quality.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical characteristics of Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia(MPP)after COVID-19 epidemic so as to offer help for early clinical diagnosis and treatment.METHODS The clinical data that were collected from the MPP patients who were treated in the fever clinic of the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jul.2023 to Aug.2024 were retrospectively analyzed.The results of laboratory tests for the different age groups of patients complicated with other pathogens were statistically analyzed.RESULTS Of totally 161 MPP patients who were enrolled in the study,78(48.85％)were male,and 83(51.55％)were fe-male;the average age was(32.98±14.35)years old,and the patients aged between 20 and 40 years old accoun-ted for 43.48％(70 cases).The enrolled patients were divided into the simple MPP group with 92(57.14％)ca-ses and the MPP+mixed group with 69(42.86％)cases according to the result of etiological test of sputum;the patients of MPP+mixed group were divided into the MPP+bacteria group with 42(60.87％)cases,the MPP+fungi group with 10(14.49％)cases,and the MPP+viruses group with 17(24.64％)cases.There was significant difference in the age among the groups(P＜0.05);there were no significant differences in the sex,white blood cell counts and percentage of mononuclear cells among the groups,the percentage of lymphocytes was highest in the simple MPP group,the levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)and interleukin-6(IL-6)were highest in the MPP+bacteria group,and there were significant differences(P＜0.05).All of the patients were divided into three groups:the ≤20-year-old group the＞20-40-year old group and the＞40-year-old group.There were no sig-nificant differences in the white blood cell counts,percentage of lymphocytes,percentage of mononuclear cells and IL-6 level among the three groups,and the CRP level was highest in the＞20-40-year old group(P=0.025).Ran-dom forest model analysis showed that the weight of CRP was highest(22.65％)among the clinical characteristics of the MPP patients,which played a key role in construction of model.As for other factors,the weight of age was 17.02％,the percentage of lymphocytes 15.34％,the white blood cells counts 14.86％,the percentage of mono-nuclear cells 14.39％,the IL-6 13.61％,the gender 2.13％.CONCLUSION MPP maintains common among the patients aged less than 40 years old after the COVID-19 epidemic,nearly half of the patients are complicated with the infections of other pathogens,and CRP is more helpful for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of the MPP in early stage.

OBJECTIVE To summarize the clinical characteristics and diagnosis and treatment experiences in dealing with non-severe Chlamydia psittaci pneumonia.METHODS The clinical data were collected from 34 patients who were diagnosed with non-severe C.psittaci pneumonia through quantitative polymerase chain reactiong(qPCR)for sputum in fever clinic of the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Mar.2023 to Mar.2024 and were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes were evaluated.RESULTS The average age of the patients was(44.82±13.74)years old,the ratio of male to female was 1∶1.83;all of the patients had fever;major symptoms were cough(70.59％),pharyngodynia(44.12％),and flu-like symptoms(41.18％);82.35％of the patients had the history of contact with poultry.The C-reactive pro-tein(CRP)level,interleukin-6(IL-6),systemic inflammatory response index(SIRI)and aggregate index of sys-temic inflammation(AISI)were higher among the patients aged no less than 44 years old than among the patients less than 44 years old(P＜0.05);the percentage of lymphocytes of the patients aged no less than 44 years old was lower than that of the patients aged less than 44 years old(P＜0.05).As for the imaging findings,73.53％of the patients had consolidation shadows,26.47％had ground-glass opacities,and 32.35％involved both lungs.All of the patients received quinolones or tetracyclines for treatment of 7-14 days and all symptoms relieved.CT reexami-nated 1 month after the treatment showed that 55.88％of the cases had complete absorption of pulmonary infec-tious lesions,and 35.29％had partial absorption.CONCLUSIONS The patients with non-severe Chlamydia psitta-ci pneumonia are characterized by the history of contact with poultry,fever complicated with respiratory tract symptoms,rise of inflammatory markers(more significant among patients of advanced age)and lower lobe con-solidation shadow/ground-glass opacities.Early identification and standardized treatment may facilitate the favora-ble treatment outcomes.
