In recent years, the relationship between intestinal flora dysbiosis and abnormal bile acid metabolism and anxiety has received widespread attention. This article discussed the biological mechanism of the pathogenesis of anxiety from the perspective of intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism, in order to provide new ideas and theoretical basis for the TCM prevention and treatment of anxiety. According to TCM, spleen and stomach belong to earth, liver and gallbladder belong to wood, when spleen qi is healthy, the normal distribution of water and grain essence can be achieved, so that the liver can be nourished, qi and blood is sufficient, and its excretory function is normal, and the bile is sufficient. Once the spleen is not healthy, the distribution of water and grain essence is good, affecting the metabolism of fluids, resulting in phlegm and dampness, the qi is not smooth, can affect the liver's excretory function; liver and wood depression for a long time, transgressing the spleen and earth, qi and blood lack of biochemical sources, the formation of soil congestion and wood depression of the pathological phenomenon will appear. From the viewpoint of modern medicine and molecular biology, changes in the structure of intestinal flora affect the organism through neurological, endocrine, immune and metabolic pathways, which is consistent with the pathogenesis of "congestion of the earth"; disorders in the metabolism of bile acids can lead to changes in neurotransmitters and synaptic structure in the brain, causing anxiety symptoms, which is consistent with the characteristics of "wood depression". The bile acid metabolism disorder can cause neurotransmitter and synaptic structure changes in the brain, causing anxiety symptoms, which is consistent with the characteristics of "wood depression". It is important to regulate the intestinal flora and bile acid metabolism pathway to ease the liver and strengthen the spleen to improve anxiety.

Misophonia is a psychophysiological and behavioral disorder characterized by an individual's low tolerance to specific sounds， leading to intense negative emotional experiences and physiological responses. Currently， there is no standardized and universally effective treatment for misophonia in clinical practice worldwide. This article reports the case of an 18-year-old male patient with misophonia who showed poor response to sertraline combined with exposure and response prevention therapy. Subsequently， the patient received 8 weeks of Morita therapy （once a week， 50 minutes per session）， with symptomatic improvement. By presenting this case， we explore the potential efficacy of Morita therapy in treating misophonia， aiming to provide a reference for its clinical management. ［Funded by Scientific Research Development Fund Project of Shandong Second Medical University （number， 2024FYM034）］

General anesthesia, pivotal for surgical procedures, requires precise depth monitoring to mitigate risks ranging from intraoperative awareness to postoperative cognitive impairments. Traditional assessment methods, relying on physiological indicators or behavioral responses, fall short of accurately capturing the nuanced states of unconsciousness. This study introduces a machine learning-based approach to decode anesthesia depth, leveraging EEG data across different anesthesia states induced by propofol and esketamine in rats. Our findings demonstrate the model's robust predictive accuracy, underscored by a novel intra-subject dataset partitioning and a 5-fold cross-validation method. The research diverges from conventional monitoring by utilizing anesthetic infusion rates as objective indicators of anesthesia states, highlighting distinct EEG patterns and enhancing prediction accuracy. Moreover, the model's ability to generalize across individuals suggests its potential for broad clinical application, distinguishing between anesthetic agents and their depths. Despite relying on rat EEG data, which poses questions about real-world applicability, our approach marks a significant advance in anesthesia monitoring.

Objective To investigate the mechanism by which blue light irradiation-activated microglia mediate immune cell recruitment and exacerbate retinal damage,and to explore the role of microglial depletion in inhibiting immune infiltration and protecting the retina.Methods SPF-grade C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group,blue light irradiation group,and PLX5622 pretreatment blue light irradiation group.A retinal injury model was established by continuous LED blue light irradiation for 2 days.In the PLX5622 pretreatment group,microglia were specifically depleted before blue light irradiation.After modeling,HE staining and OCT examination were used to examine retinal histomorphological changes;ERG examination was performed to evaluate retinal function;DHE staining and RT-qPCR were used to detect oxidative stress and inflammatory responses,and Iba1,CD68,CD11b immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used to analyze microglial activation status and immune cell infiltration.Results After blue light irradiation,the retinal outer nuclear layer thickness was significantly reduced;ERG a-wave and b-wave amplitudes decreased;expression of oxidative stress-related genes Nrf2,Sod2,and HO-1 was upregulated;expression of inflammatory factors IL-1β,TNF-α,and ICAM-1 increased;the number of Iba1-positive microglia increased and migrated extensively to the outer nuclear layer;the proportion of CD68+cells and CD11b+immune cells was elevated;and activated microglia aggregated around blood vessels to mediate immune cell infiltration.After PLX5622 pretreatment to deplete microglia,immune cell infiltration was significantly reduced;inflammatory responses were alleviated;retinal structural damage was markedly improved,and visual function was protected.Conclusions Blue light irradiation activates microglia and promotes their migration to the injury area.Activated microglia mediate immune cell recruitment and infiltration,exacerbating retinal inflammatory damage.Microglial depletion can effectively inhibit immune infiltration,rescue retinal structure and function,and provide new therapeutic strategies for the prevention and treatment of blue light-related ocular diseases.

Objective The aim is to understand the common scenarios of non-medical use of prescription opioids(NMUPO)and analyze the potential facilitating and hindering factors in the regulatory process of NMUPO from the perspective of healthcare professionals.Methods Healthcare professionals in local hospitals were surveyed through a two-stage purposive sampling from June to August 2022 in Ningbo,China.The survey was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire on topics,and thematic analysis were used to identify and summarise key themes and patterns.Results A total of 75 participants were included,the average age was(43.9±7.2)years,and 54(72.0%)were male.The most common NMUPO scenarios involved middle-aged males pretending acute severe pain to obtain injectable opioids.The facilitating and hindering factors related to the regulation of NMUPO can be categorized into three types:institutional governance,technical support,and individual behaviors.At the institutional level,facilitating factors included strict national prescribing policies and local"narcotic drug card"systems,while barriers comprised incomplete lists of controlled substances.At the technological support level,facilitating factors included the establishment of regional health information platforms,while barriers included the lack of standardized prescription guidelines and diagnostic decision-support tools.At the individual level,facilitating factors included the public's cautious attitude toward drug misuse,while barriers included strained doctor-patient relationships.Conclusion China still faces significant challenges in addressing NMUPO and urgently needs to improve the existing regulatory system.It is recommended that reforms be carried out in areas such as pharmaceutical control mechanisms,drug treatment and rehabilitation services,preventive health education activities,and the optimized use of health information systems.
