ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of Shuanghua drink in treating primary dysmenorrhea in the rat model and explore its mechanism of action. MethodsAn oxytocin-induced writhing mouse model was established to evaluate the analgesic effect of Shuanghua drink. Forty-eight non-pregnant female institute of cancer research （ICR） mice were randomly divided into six groups， including a blank group， a model group， an ibuprofen group （85.00 mg·kg^-1）， a low-dose group of Shuanghua drink （7.14 mL·kg^-1）， a medium-dose group of Shuanghua drink （14.28 mL·kg^-1）， and a high-dose group of Shuanghua drink （28.57 mL·kg^-1）. Each group consisted of eight mice. All treatment groups received daily intragastric administration at corresponding doses for 10 consecutive days. One hour after the final administration， 2 U of oxytocin was intraperitoneally injected per mouse. The writhing latency and number of writhing within 20 minutes were recorded. A primary dysmenorrhea rat model was established by using estradiol benzoate and oxytocin to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Shuanghua drink on the contraction of uterine smooth muscle. Forty-eight non-pregnant female Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were divided into six groups， including a blank group， a model group， an ibuprofen group （51.00 mg·kg^-1）， a low-dose group of Shuanghua drink （4.28 mL·kg^-1）， a medium-dose group of Shuanghua drink （8.57 mL·kg^-1）， and a high-dose group of Shuanghua drink （17.10 mL·kg^-1）. Each group consisted of eight rats. Rats received subcutaneous injections of estradiol benzoate for 10 consecutive days to enhance uterine sensitivity. On the eleventh day， oxytocin （2 U/rat） was intraperitoneally administered to induce abnormal uterine contractions for establishing the primary dysmenorrhea model. All treatment groups received daily intragastric administration from the second day of modeling for 10 days. The effects of Shuanghua drink were evaluated by using parameters including uterine motility and the variation rate of uterine motility. The mechanism of action was investigated in rats with primary dysmenorrhea. The content of prostaglandin F_2α （PGF_2α）， prostaglandin E₂ （PGE₂）， thromboxane B₂ （TXB₂）， prostacyclin metabolite （6-keto-PGF_1α）， and β-endorphin （β-EP） in uterine tissue of rats was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The changes in the content of nitric oxide （NO） and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） were analyzed via colorimetric assay. Western blot was performed to determine the content of phosphorylated inhibitor of kappa B kinase beta （p-IKKβ）/IKKβ， phosphorylated inhibitor of kappa B alpha （p-IκBα）， IκBα， phosphorylated p65 （p-p65）， p65， and cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2） proteins in uterine tissue of rats. ResultsIn the oxytocin-induced writhing mouse model， the model group exhibited significantly shortened writhing latency and increased writhing frequency compared to the control group （P<0.01）. Both the ibuprofen group and the high-dose group of Shuanghua drink displayed prolonged writhing latency （P<0.05）， while the ibuprofen group and the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Shuanghua drink exhibited reduced writhing frequency （P<0.01）. In the primary dysmenorrhea rat model， the uterine motility and its variation rate in the model group were significantly higher than those in the blank group （P<0.01）. These parameters were markedly suppressed by ibuprofen and Shuanghua drink at all tested doses （P<0.01）. For the mechanism of action， the model group showed significantly increased PGF_2α/PGE₂， TXB₂/6-keto-PGF_1α， NO， and iNOS in uterine tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01） and significantly decreased β-EP （P<0.01）. These parameters were significantly attenuated in the ibuprofen group and the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Shuanghua drink. The PGF_2α/PGE₂ （P<0.01）， TXB₂/6-keto-PGF_1α （P<0.01）， NO （medium-dose group P<0.05）， and iNOS （P<0.01） were reduced， and the β-EP （medium-dose group P<0.05） was up-regulated. Compared to the model group， the ibuprofen group and medium-dose group of Shuanghua drink showed significantly increased content of β-EP in the serum of rats （P<0.05）. Compared to the blank group， the model group showed significantly elevated expressions of COX-2， p-IKKβ/IKKβ， p-IκBα/IκBα， and p-p65/p65 proteins （P<0.01） and significantly reduced anti-inflammatory protein IκBα （P<0.05）. Compared to the model group， the ibuprofen group and the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Shuanghua drink showed significantly reduced expressions of COX-2 （P<0.01）， p-IKKβ/IKKβ （P<0.01）， p-IκBα/IκBα （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and p-p65/p65（P<0.01） and up-regulated expression of IκBα protein （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionShuanghua drink effectively alleviates primary dysmenorrhea through analgesia and suppression of abnormal contractions of uterine smooth muscle. Its mechanism may be mediated by reduced levels of PGF_2α/PGE₂， TXB₂/6-keto-PGF_1α， iNOS， and NO， elevated β-EP level， and inhibited COX-2/NF-κB signaling pathway.

Osteoarthritis （OA） and stroke are common clinical diseases that reduce patients' quality of life and place a burden on families and society. Ruyi Zhenbaowan， a classic prescription in Tibetan medicine， have the functions of clearing heat， awakening the brain and opening orifices， relaxing tendons and promoting meridian circulation， and eliminating yellow water. Clinically， they are used to treat osteoarthritis， post-stroke sequelae， neuropathic pain， and other related conditions. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated their anti-inflammatory， analgesic， and nerve-repairing effects. However， current research remains insufficient regarding the appropriate indications， timing， and efficacy of this medicine in treating relevant diseases. To enhance clinicians' understanding of this medicine and promote its standardized and rational clinical use， a panel of national experts， including clinical specialists， Tibetan medicine practitioners， pharmacologists， and methodologists， formulated this consensus based on clinical experience and evidence-based practice. The Cochrane systematic review framework， the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） system， and the nominal group method were employed to generate seven graded recommendations and 19 consensus-based suggestions. These recommendations clearly define the key points in the clinical application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan， including therapeutic indications， dosage and administration， treatment duration， and medication safety. The consensus specifically addresses the clinical efficacy， appropriate timing of administration， dosage strategies， treatment cycles， and combination medication strategies for treating osteoarthritis and stroke and provides an overview of safety considerations. The aim is to provide standardized guidance for hospitals and healthcare institutions nationwide to ensure the rational application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in the treatment of osteoarthritis and stroke， reduce medication-related risks， and further leverage its clinical advantages. This consensus has been approved and issued by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， with the standard number GS/CACM 369-2024.

Objective: To investigate the distribution of pupil diameter and its association with myopia in school age children, providing ideas into the mechanisms of the role of pupil diameter in the onset and development of myopia. Methods: Adopting a combination of stratified cluster random sampling and convenience sampling method, 3 839 children from six schools in Shandong Province were included in September 2021. Pupil diameters distribution was analyzed by age, sex, and myopic status. Pearson correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between pupil diameter and cycloplegic spherical equivalent (SE), as well as axial length (AL) and other variables. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to match myopic and non myopic children at a 1∶1 ratio based on age and sex. A generalized linear model (GLM) was constructed with pupil diameter as the dependent variable to identify independent factors influencing pupil size and its association with myopia. Results: The mean pupil diameter of school age children was (5.77±0.80)mm. Pupil diameter exhibited a significant increasing trend with age ( F =49.34， P trend ＜ 0.01). Myopic children had a significantly larger mean pupil diameter [(6.10±0.73)mm] compared to non myopic children [(5.62±0.79)mm] with a statistically significant difference( t=18.10, P <0.01). Multivariable GLM analysis, adjusted for age, amplitude of accommodation, and uncorrected visual acuity, revealed a negative correlation between pupil diameter and cycloplegic SE (before PSM: β =-0.089, after PSM: β =-0.063, both P ＜0.01). Conclusions Myopic school age children exhibite larger pupil diameters than their non myopic counterparts. Pupil diameter may serve as a potential indicator for monitoring myopia development in school age children.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a multidisciplinary collaborative quality control management (hereinafter referred to as "QC management") on improving the performance of biological safety cabinets in hospital. Methods A total of 63 ClassⅡbiological safety cabinets in active use at Peking University Third Hospital were selected as the study subjects using the before-after study mode. Conventional management was implemented on the biological safety cabinets from 2018 to 2021. QC management was used in 2022. The compliance of biological safety cabinets management norm and performance differences under the two models were compared. Results The median and the 25th and 75th percentiles [M(P₂₅, P₇₅)] of the service life among these 63 biological safety cabinets were 3 (1,6) years. The overall performance pass rate and inflow velocity pass rate of biological safety cabinets were higher in the QC management than that in the conventional management (90.5% vs 65.1%, 96.8% vs 84.1%, both P<0.05). However, there was no significant difference in downflow velocity, high-efficiency particulate air filter integrity, cleanliness, airflow smoke pattern, noise, and illumination pass rates of biosafety cabinets before and after the implementation of QC management (79.4% vs 88.9%, 90.5% vs 100.0%, 96.8% vs 100.0%, 85.7% vs 100.0%, 100.0% vs 100.0%, and 85.7% vs 96.8%, respectively; all P>0.05). Conclusion sQC management improves the standardization of biological safety cabinet management and key performance indicators in hospital.

Objective: To explore the causal association between micronutrients and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) using a Mendelian randomization (MR) method, so as to provide the evidence for formulating prevention and treatment measures for IBS. Methods: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary data for 14 micronutrients (copper, selenium, zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and carotene) were collected from the MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit at the University of Bristol GWAS data and the UK Biobank data. GWAS data for IBS were obtained from the FinnGen R10 database. A bidirectional two-sample MR analysis was conducted to assess the causal relationships between micronutrients and IBS, with the inverse-variance weighted method as the primary analytical approach. Heterogeneity among instrumental variables was evaluated using Cochran's Q test. Horizontal pleiotropy was assessed via MR-Egger regression and the MR-PRESSO test. The robustness of the results was examined using leave-one-out and funnel plot. Results: Forward MR analysis revealed a statistically significant association between vitamin B12 and IBS (OR=1.523, 95%CI: 1.093-2.213), while no significant associations were observed for the other 13 micronutrients (all P>0.05). Reverse MR analysis showed no significant association between IBS and any of the 14 micronutrients (all P>0.05). Sensitivity analyses revealed no evidence of heterogeneity or horizontal pleiotropy among the instrumental variables (all P>0.05). The robustness of the findings was supported by leave-one-out and funnel plot. Conclusion Higher vitamin B12 level is associated with an increased risk of IBS, but no reverse causal relationship between vitamin B12 and IBS has been found.

Objective: To investigate the status of drug resistance before anti-retroviral therapy among newly dignosed HIV/AIDS patients aged ≥50 years in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, so as to provide the evidence for improving the anti-retroviral therapy effect of AIDS. Methods: HIV/AIDS patients aged ≥50 years who were newly dignosed in Yangzhou City from 2021 to 2024 and did not receive anti-retroviral therapy were selected. Basic information were collected through the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. Blood samples were collected to determine CD4+T lymphocyte (CD4 cell) counts and HIV-1 viral load. Following nucleic acid extraction, the pol gene region was amplified using reverse transcription and nested PCR, and subsequently subjected to Sanger sequencing. The resulting sequences were uploaded to the Stanford University HIV Drug Resistance Database to analyze drug resistance to non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs), and nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs). Results: Totally 404 blood samples from HIV/AIDS patients were collected, with successful sequencing of the pol gene region in 341 cases. Among them, 253 (74.19%) were males and 88 (25.81%) were females, with a mean age of (62.48±7.60) years. A total of 152 cases (44.57%) had CD4 cell counts below 200 cells/μL, and 296 cases (86.80%) had HIV-1 viral loads exceeding 5 000 copies/mL. A total of 87 cases exhibited drug resistance-associated mutations, corresponding to a mutation rate of 25.51%. The predominant mutation site was V179, with a mutation rate of 17.01%. A total of 29 cases exhibited resistance to at least one drug, resulting in a resistance rate of 8.50%. The resistance rates to NNRTIs, PIs, and NRTIs were 5.57%, 2.93%, and 1.17%, respectively. The HIV/AIDS patients exhibited varying degrees of resistance to 13 anti-retroviral drugs, with low- or intermediate-level drug resistance being predominant. High-level drug resistance cases were observed against NNRTIs such as nevirapine and efavirenz. Conclusions The drug resistance rate before anti-retroviral therapy among newly dignosed HIV/AIDS patients aged ≥50 years in Yangzhou City was at a moderate level. The predominant resistance mutation was observed at V179 site, with NNRTIs resistance being most prevalent, primarily demonstrating low- or intermediate-level drug resistance.

Objective: To analyze the impact of parental sports concept and behavior on physical activity in preschool children, so as to provide a foundation for future guidance on fostering childrens physical activity within the family context. Methods: From November to December 2020, a clustered convenience sampling method was employed to conduct surveys, and a total of 283 children were selectal from one kindergarten each in Beijing, Shenyang, and Xian. Participating children wore ActiGraph GT9X accelerometers continuously for one week to collect data on different intensity levels of physical activity. Physical Activity afterschool Questionnaire for Preschooler (P-PAQ) was utilized to assess parental sports concept and behavior. The gender differences in physical activity level and physical activity compliance rate were analyzed by using ttest, Mann-Whitney U test, and Chisquare test; and the relationship between parental exercise concepts and behaviors and physical activity of preschool children was analyzed using Spearman rank correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Parental sports concept was significantly positively correlated with average daily moderatetovigorous physical activity (MVPA) and total physical activity (TPA) in children (r=0.12-0.16, P<0.05). Parental sports behavior was significantly positively correlated with childrens average daily TPA (r=0.25, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression revealed that parental sports concept was positively correlated with average daily MVPA and TPA in both boys and girls (B=0.65-0.83), while parental sports behavior only was positively correlated with boys average daily MVPA and TPA (B=0.24-0.25)(P<0.05). Conclusions Parental sports concept and behavior can impact physical activity levels in preschool children, exhibiting gender differences. Future guidance on physical activity in family upbringing should consider both parental sports concept and behavior, and pay attention to the influence of childrens gender.
