ObjectiveThis study aims to systematically analyze the blood-absorbed components and metabolic profiles of Xiebaisan（XBS） in normal and chronic bronchitis （CB） mice using ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）， while comparing differences between the two states. MethodsThirty female BABL/c mice were randomly divided into the normal group， the normal drug administration group， the CB group， the CB drug administration group and the dexamethasone group， with 6 mice in each group. The CB mouse model was established by inducing with ovalbumin （OVA）. The mice in the normal drug administration group and the CB drug administration group started to be gavaged with XBS（13.2 g·kg^-1） from the 21^st day， and the dexamethasone group mice were simultaneously gavaged with dexamethasone （0.5 mg·kg^-1） until the end of the 35^th day of the experiment. Subsequently， serum samples were collected and evaluated for their efficacy， based on the pharmacological evaluation indicators， to determine the efficacy of XBS in treating CB. Then the UPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS was employed to identify and analyze the chemical constituents， blood-absorbed components， and metabolites of XBS. Chemometric analysis was conducted to reveal metabolic profile differences under "dual states". Concurrently， Real-time PCR technology was utilized to detect the expression levels of key liver metabolic enzymes CYP2E1， CYP3A1， UGT1A1， and UGT1A6. ResultsA total of 28 prototype components and 158 metabolites （including 48 phase Ⅰ metabolites and 110 phase Ⅱ metabolites） of XBS were unambiguously identified in the serum of normal mice. Additionally， a comprehensive characterization was performed on a total of 32 prototype components and 178 metabolites （including 50 phase Ⅰ metabolites and 128 phase Ⅱ metabolites） of XBS in the serum of CB mice. Among them， 27 prototype components were detected in both states， including 12 flavonoids， 2 alkaloids， 3 triterpenes， 4 organic acids， 3 amides， 1 stilbene and 2 other compounds. The chemometrics analysis revealed no significant difference in the prototype components and metabolites of XBS between normal and CB mice； however， there was a significant increase in the in-vivo exposure of XBS in CB mice. Compared to normal mice， the levels of phase Ⅰ metabolites such as oxidation， reduction and methylation of blood components of XBS as well as phase Ⅱ metabolites of glucuronidation showed significant changes in CB mice. Real-time PCR further confirmed that these alterations were attributed to the upregulation of CYP2E1 （P<0.05）， CYP3A1 （P>0.05）， UGT1A1 （P<0.01） and UGT1A6 （P<0.01） enzymes expression in the liver of CB mice. ConclusionThis study elucidated the disparities in the levels of the blood-absorbed components and metabolic profiles of XBS in normal and CB mice， especially in oxidation， reduction， methylation in phase Ⅰ metabolism and glucoaldehyde acidification in phase Ⅱ metabolism. And there are related to the differences in the expression levels of phase Ⅰ and phase Ⅱ metabolic enzymes CYP2E1， CYP3A1， UGT1A1 and UGT1A6 in the liver.

Neuropathic pain （NP） is a chronic pain syndrome resulting from injury， inflammation， or dysfunction of the somatosensory nervous system. Its pathogenesis is complex and intimately associated with peripheral sensitization and maladaptive neuroplasticity within the central nervous system. The core clinical manifestations， including spontaneous pain， allodynia， and paresthesia， severely compromise patients’ quality of life and pose substantial challenges to clinical management. Endoplasmic reticulum stress （ERS）， a critical cellular defense mechanism against disrupted intracellular homeostasis， is primarily initiated and modulated through three canonical branches of the unfolded protein response （UPR）： the protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase （PERK） pathway， the inositol-requiring transmembrane kinase/endonuclease 1α （IRE1α） pathway， and the activating transcription factor 6 （ATF6） pathway. These signaling cascades play a pivotal role in the pathological progression of NP. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） exhibits unique advantages in the treatment of NP. Leveraging its hallmark characteristics of multi-target， multi-pathway， and holistic regulation， TCM can systematically modulate the ERS signaling network to inhibit neuronal apoptosis， attenuate neuroinflammatory infiltration， and rectify autophagic dysfunction， ultimately promoting the repair and regeneration of damaged neural tissue. This review systematically summarizes the core role of ERS in the occurrence and development of NP. It focuses on the latest research progress regarding ERS pathway modulation in NP amelioration by representative TCM interventions， including potential core bioactive components （e.g.， tanshinoneⅡ_A， catalpol， and formononetin）， classic and empirical compound formulas （e.g.， Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu decoction， Compound Qiying granules， and Tangluoning）， and TCM external therapies （e.g.， electroacupuncture， moxibustion with seed-sized moxa cone， and acupotomy）. Through an in-depth analysis of the functional characteristics and mechanisms of these TCM interventions， particularly their bidirectional regulation and multi-target synergy， this review aims to provide a solid theoretical foundation for further optimizing TCM-based strategies for NP prevention and treatment and to delineate future directions for clinical translation of related research achievements and targeted drug development.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with bevacizumab for the treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2-negative （HER2－） breast cancer with brain metastases.METHODS Clinical data of 90 patients with HER2－ breast cancer with brain metastases treated at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanyang Medical College from December 2024 to November 2025 were retrospectively collected. According to the treatment regimens， the patients were divided into a control group （ n ＝55） and an experimental group （ n ＝35）. Patients in the experimental group received sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with bevacizumab， whereas those in the control group received conventional systemic therapy， including albumin-bound paclitaxel-based regimens， capecitabine-based regimens， or gemcitabine/vinorelbine combined with platinum-based regimens. Short-term efficacy， progression-free survival （PFS）， brain metastasis-related efficacy， adverse events， treatment discontinuation due to adverse events， and treatment-related deaths were compared between the two groups.RESULTS The objective response rate （ORR）， disease control rate， median PFS， intracranial disease control rate， and proportion of patients with improvement in neurological symptoms in the experimental group were significantly higher than in the control group （ P ＜0.05）. Stratified analysis showed that PFS of the experimental group was significantly longer than the control group among patients with Breast-Graded Prognostic Assessment scores ≥2.0 and ＜2.0 （ P ＜0.05）. There were no statistically significant differences in the proportion of patients with glucocorticoid dose reduction/discontinuation， the incidence of adverse events of different grades， or the rate of treatment discontinuation due to adverse events between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. No treatment-related deaths occurred in either group.CONCLUSIONS Compared with conventional systemic therapy， sacituzumab tirumotecan combined with bevacizumab can improve the ORR and prolong PFS in patients with HER2－ breast cancer with brain metastases， with an overall manageable safety profile.

Objective:Comprehensive characterization of B-cell phenotypes and spatial distribution in oral lichen planus (OLP) and related oral lichenoid lesions (OLL)(OLP/OLL), with an emphasis on transcriptomic profiling and functional analysis, to uncover the epigenetic mechanisms underlying B cell-mediated immune regulation within the oral mucosal microenvironment.Methods:Single-cell RNA sequencing raw data were sourced from the GSE211630 database, encompassing samples from 2 cases of erosive OLP (EOLP), 3 cases of non-erosive OLP (NEOLP) and 1 healthy control (NORMAL). Following stringent quality control, the data underwent normalization, selection of highly variable genes and batch effect correction. Subsequent analyses included dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering to identify distinct cell populations. This study collected pathological specimens from 3 OLP/OLL patients and 3 healthy controls who were treated at the Department of Oral Medicine, Shanghai Ninth People's Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2021 to December 2023. Using 10X Genomics Visium HD spatial transcriptomics technology, tissue sections were processed through dewaxing, staining and histological imaging, enabling the reconstruction of nucleic acid structures and the capture of gene expression profiles. Data analysis included quality assessment, gene quantification, normalization, dimensionality reduction and clustering. Furthermore, cell type deconvolution was performed using the robust cell type decomposition algorithm, integrating single-cell transcriptomic data to accurately predict and spatially resolve cell type distributions within the tissue microenvironment.Results:After integrating single-cell data from EOLP, NEOLP and NORMAL, cells were classified into seven major categories: B/plasma cells, endothelial cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts, myeloid cells, smooth muscle cells and T/natural killer cells. The proportion of B/plasma cells varied significantly among the three groups, accounting for 10.7% (1 693/15 815), 3.8% (833/21 653) and 0.4% (47/11 556) of the total cells respectively. Further clustering analysis of B/plasma cells identified four distinct subpopulations: naive B cells, activated B cells, memory B cells and plasma cells. In the EOLP group, these subpopulations constituted 25.9% (348/1 344), 45.9% (617/1 344), 3.3% (45/1 344) and 24.9% (334/1 344) of the B/plasma cells respectively. In the NEOLP group, they represented 31.6% (195/617), 59.6% (368/617), 0.2% (1/617) and 8.6% (53/617). Howerer, only plasma cells were detected in the NORMAL group. Spatial analysis revealed that B cells were actively involved in the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures (TLS) at various stages in OLP/OLL samples, with a prominent structural organization observed in secondary follicle-like TLS. Within these structures, the expressions of T cells marker gene CD3E and B cells marker gene MS4A1 were significantly elevated. Additionally, in secondary follicle-like TLS, the gene encoding follicular dendritic cell secreted protein, germinal center marker gene B cell lymphoma 6 and the gene for activation induced cytidine deaminase also showed strong expression. In OLP/OLL samples, plasma cell marker gene CD38, immunoglobulin (IGH) G3, IGHG1, IGHM, IGHD, IGHE, imunoglobulin Kappa constant, immunoglobulin alpha 1, immunoglobulin Lambda constant 1 and complement gene C3 all exhibited high levels of expression.Conclusions:Compared to normal mucosa, extensive B-cell infiltration is observed in both OLP and OLL, accompanied by significant differences in B-cell phenotypes and proportions. B cells appear to play a central role in local immune responses, primarily through the formation of TLS. However, the precise functional mechanisms underlying their involvement require further investigation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of non-typhoidal Salmonella（NTS）enteritis in children and the drug resistance of NTS strains.Methods:The clinical data of 138 children who were hospitalized in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Xi'an Jiaotong University from 2022 to 2023 with diarrhea as the main complaint and NTS detected in stool culture were analyzed retrospectively, and the clinical characteristics and drug resistance were summarized.Results:Among 138 children with NTS enteritis，89 were males and 49 were females，with a male-to-female sex ratio of 1.81∶1 and an average age of 1.9（1.0,3.6）years，with a high incidence rate in June,July and August.Seventeen（12.31%）cases had a history of suspected unclean diet before illness.All the children had diarrhea symptoms with changes in fecal frequency and character，including 74 cases of pus and bloody stool，119 cases of mucus stool，and 70 cases of watery stool.One hundred and twenty-five（90.57%）cases had fever.Among 138 cases of fecal culture,there were 47 (34.05%) strains of Salmonella typhimurium,36(26.09%) strains of Salmonella enteritidis,and 55(39.85%) strains of other serotypes of Salmonella .One hundred and twenty-two（88.40%）NTS strains were resistant to more than one antimicrobial agent，and 29（21.01 %）were multi-drug resistant.The resistance rates to ampicillin，ampicillin/sulbactam，ceftriaxone，trimethoprim/sulfamethazole，ceftazidime，cefepime and piperacillin/tazobactam were 73.91%，71.01%，29.71%，29.71%，23.19%，11.59%，and 3.62%，respectively.All strains were sensitive to carbapenem antibiotics（meropenem，imipenem，and ertapenem）.The drug resistance rates of Salmonella typhimurium to ceftazidime and trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole were higher than those of Salmonella enteritidis（38.30% vs 8.33%），the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:Infants and young children are the high-incidence group of NTS enteritis，with the peak incidence period being from June to August each year，manifested by mucus-pus-blood stools, abdominal pain, vomiting，fever and other symptoms.Reasonable selection of antibiotics in time according to the local epidemic strains,changes of antimicrobial resistance and the results of drug sensitivity test of strains can effectively resist infection and reduce the production of drug-resistant beads.

It was a retrospective study. The propensity score matching was applied to divide the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients who have underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) into two groups: short-term (<4 weeks) sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor (SGLT2i) group (213 patients) and control group (213 patients). The occurrence of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI) after PCI was compared between the two groups. The results showed that the incidence of CIAKI in the SGLT2i group was not significantly different from the control group [10.8% (23/213) vs. 7.5% (16/213), χ2=1.383, P=0.313]. The incidence of CIAKI in patients with SGLT2i application time <1 week was higher than that in control patients, but the difference was not statistically significant [13.00% (16/123) vs. 7.5% (16/213), χ2=2.734, P=0.122]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that short-term (<4 weeks) use of SGLT2i would not increase the risk of CIAKI after PCI in T2DM patients ( OR=0.507, 95% CI 0.238-1.077, P=0.077). Short-term application of SGLT2i before PCI may not increase the risk of CIAKI, but it is advisable to avoid initiating the application of SGLT2i before PCI as much as possible.

Objective To identify potential drug target genes associated with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)and predict therapeutic candidates using a two-sample Mendelian randomization(MR)approach across the druggable genome.Methods Druggable genome data from the DGIdb database and Finan were integrated to identify overlapping genes.A two-sample MR analysis was performed to infer causal relationships between genes and IPF.Functional enrichment analyses,including Gene Ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG),were conducted to explore biological pathways.Drug-target interactions were predicted via DSigDB database screening,followed by molecular docking simulations to evaluate binding affinities.Results Among the 2588 overlapping druggable genes,thirty exhibited significant causal associations with IPF(P＜0.05).Four hub genes(NOD2,LATS2,LTA,and TCF7L2)were enriched in IPF-related pathways,notably Hippo and TNF signaling.Six potential therapeutics were identified:oxyphenbutazone,moexipril,α-galactosylceramide,GSK429286A,CGP74514A,and JW-7-24-1.Molecular docking confirmed strong binding affinities between these drugs and their targets.Conclusion This study has identified thirty druggable gene targets and six candidate drugs for IPF.The enrichment of hub genes in key pathways and validated drug-target interactions provide insights into IPF therapies.

Objective To investigate the situation of HIV infection and epidemiological characteristics among voluntary blood donors and pre-transfusion patients in Yuxi prefecture between 2010 and 2021.Methods Da-te collected with the HIV/AIDS Case Reporting Cards and original record of blood station,HIV antibody positive rate,the demographic characteristics,and epidemiological data of blood donors and pre-transfusion patients,were analyzed accordingly,the related date were statistically analyzed.Results The HIV antibody positive ratio were 5.56? and 2.01? among pre-transfusion patients and voluntary blood donors(P<0.001),showing an downward trend year after year.The HIV-positive detection rate among blood donors aged<25 years was significantly higher at 3.72‰ compared to 1.60‰ for those aged≥25 years(P=0.003).Among HIV-positive blood recipients,the proportion of individuals aged 15-24 years(34.62%)was markedly higher than that among blood donors(1.96%),whereas no donors were aged≥50 years compared to 23.53%of recipients(P<0.001).Farmers showed a significantly higher HIV detection rate(3.18‰)than students(2.66‰)and other occupations(1.60‰)(P=0.041).Similarly,individuals with high school education or below showed a higher detection rate(2.52‰)than those with high school education or above(1.45‰)(P=0.045).Among HIV-positive cases,blood donors had a higher proportion of HIV-infected individuals(84.62%)versus AIDS cases(15.38%),whereas the recipients showed the opposite trend:41.18%HIV-infected versus 58.82%AIDS cases(P<0.001).Conclusion In recent years,the HIV positive detection rate in Yuxi area has shown a downward trend,but the occurrence of HIV in Yuxi area is characterized by youthfulness and low education.Among them,HIV infected individuals through same-sex contact account for an important reason for HIV infection.

Objective:To investigate the association between prenatal environmental factors and attention defi-cit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)and its symptom severity in children.Methods:Based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,Fourth Edition(DSM-Ⅳ)diagnosis criteria,1 156 children with ADHD and 289 normal control children were included in this study.ADHD diagnoses were established using the Clinical Diag-nostic Interview Scale,core symptoms were assessed with the ADHD Rating Scale,and information on prenatal ex-posures were collected via self-developed questionnaires.Results:Maternal stress during pregnancy was associated with increased risk factor of ADHD in children(OR=1.22,P＜0.01).Among children with ADHD,preconception paternal alcohol consumption was positively associated with hyperactivity/impulsivity symptoms(β=0.08,P＜0.05),and maternal smoking during pregnancy was positively associated with total symptoms(β=0.07-0.09,P＜0.05).Conclusion:Maternal stress during pregnancy may increase the risk factor of ADHD in children.Both pre-conception paternal alcohol consumption and maternal smoking during pregnancy may be associated with increased ADHD symptom severity in children.
