OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and mechanisms of Buyang huanwu decoction （BYHWD） and its active fractions in ameliorating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. METHODS BYHWD and its effective fractions obtained through ethanol precipitation， as well as 30% ethanol， 50% ethanol， and 75% ethanol fractions （namely， the CC effective fraction， 30YC effective fraction， 50YC effective fraction， and 75YC effective fraction）， were prepared. These preparations were administered to rats via intragastric administration to prepare corresponding drug-containing serum （blank serum and simvastatin-containing serum were prepared using the same protocol）. Human L02 hepatocytes were divided into control group， model group， simvastatin-containing serum group， BYHWD-containing serum group， CC-containing serum group， 30YC-containing serum group， 50YC-containing serum group， and 75YC-containing serum group. Except for the control group， other groups were given 0.2 mol/L oleic acid for 24 h to induce a lipid accumulation model， and then intervened with 20% drug-containing serum/blank serum for 24 h. The lipid deposition in cells was observed， and the proportion of lipid droplet area was calculated； the levels of triglycerides （TG） and indicators of oxidative stress [malondialdehyde （MDA）， superoxide dismutase （SOD）] as well as liver function [alanine amino- transferase （ALT）， aspartate amino-transferase （AST）] in cells were detected； protein and mRNA expressions of AMP-activated protein kinase （AMPK）/sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1 （SREBP-1）/glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase （GPAT） signaling pathway were also measured. RESULTS Compared with the control group， cells in the model group exhibited severe cellular steatosis， with a significantly increased proportion of lipid droplet area， as well as the elevated levels of TG， ALT， AST， and MDA in cells， along with significantly up-regulated mRNA and protein expression levels of SREBP-1 and GPAT （P＜0.05）. The level of SOD， mRNA expression of AMPK， as well as the protein phosphorylation level of AMPK were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， cellular steatosis was alleviated in all drug-containing serum groups， and the levels of most of the aforementioned quantitative indicators were significantly reversed （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS BYHWD and its active fractions can exert a therapeutic effect on improving non-alcoholic fatty liver disease by regulating the AMPK/SREBP-1/GPAT signaling pathway， inhibiting oxidative stress responses， and reducing lipid deposition.

Objective: To evaluate the current situation of thermal environment in primary and secondary school classrooms during winter, and to analyze students thermal comfort needs, so as to provide a basis for improving classroom thermal environment. Methods: From December 16 to 26, 2024, a stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 90 classrooms from 15 primary and secondary schools in centralized/air conditioned heating areas(Liaoning Province, Tianjin City, Shanghai City) and naturally ventilated areas(Anhui Province and Jiangxi Province)for on site environmental measurement. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 743 students. The differences between groups using the χ 2 test were compared. Based on actual measurement data, a predicted mean vote prepared percentage of dissatisfied (PMV-PPD) model for centralized/air conditioned classrooms and an adaptive model for naturally ventilated classrooms were established, and the thermal neutral temperature and comfort interval were calculated. Results: The average outdoor temperature during on site measurement was 4.00(0.20，7.00)℃. In classrooms with centralized or air conditioned heating systems, the measured average temperature was (19.33±2.59)℃, with a thermal comfort range of 20.35-25.35 ℃ and a thermal neutral temperature of 22.85 ℃. And 13.92% of students reported feeling cold, while 80.80% felt comfortable. In classrooms with natural ventilation, the measured average temperature was (12.26±1.83)℃, with a thermal neutral temperature of 19.67 ℃ and a thermal comfort range of 16.17-23.17 ℃. About 48.33% of students reported feeling cold, and 49.81 % felt comfortable.The results of univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in shoe thickness, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between centralized/air conditioned heating areas ( χ 2= 7.01 , 31.47, 13.57, 13.80,all P <0.05). There were also statistically significant differences in school stage for primary and secondary school students, body mass index, classroom location for seat, temperature sensation, relative humidity sensation and wind speed sensation between naturally ventilated areas ( χ 2=42.13, 11.13, 11.04, 60.39, 29.27, 38.46,all P <0.05). Conclusions There are differences in thermal environment and students subjective thermal comfort in primary and secondary schools under different ventilation modes in winter. The temperature standards for heated classrooms should be revised, and differentiated environmental regulation strategies should be adopted based on different ventilation methods to improve students health and comfort levels.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of the co-occurrence of elevated blood pressure and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Anhui Province, so as to provide evidence for comprehensive interventions on physical and mental health among adolescents. Methods: From September to December 2024, a multi stage random cluster sampling method was used to select 103 225 junior and senior high school students from 16 prefecture level cities in Anhui Province. Data were collected through questionnaire surveys and physical measurements. Elevated blood pressure was determined according to the Reference of Screening for Elevated Blood Pressure among Children and Adolescents Aged 7-18 Years. Depressive symptoms among middle school students were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D). Chi-square test, Chi-square test for trend, and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to analyze the risk factors for the co-occurrence of elevated blood pressure and depressive symptoms. Results: The detection rate of elevated blood pressure was 15.22%, the detection rate of depressive symptoms was 18.56%, and the co-occurrence rate of the two conditions was 2.67% among junior and senior high school students. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling for gender, school stage, household registration, and overweight and obesity status,compared with those who don t drink sugary drink and eat fried food, and get enough sleep, sugar sweetened beverage intake <1 and ≥1 time/d( OR =1.28,1.61), fried food consumption ≥1 time/d( OR =1.37), and insufficient sleep ( OR =1.54) were all associated with an increased risk of the co-occurrence of elevated blood pressure and depressive symptoms(all P <0.05). Daily fresh vegetable intake ≥1 time/d( OR =0.78) and fresh fruit intake ≥1 time/d( OR =0.85) were both associated with a decreased risk of the co-occurrence(both P <0.05). Compared with students who did not eat breakfast, students who ate breakfast sometimes and every day ( OR =0.62,0.36) had a lower co-occurrence risk(both P < 0.05). Junior and senior high school students with daily outdoor activity duration≥1 h ( OR =0.81) had a lower risk of the co-occurrence of elevated blood pressure and depressive symptoms ( P <0.05). Conclusions Sugar sweetened beverage drink and fried food consumption, inadequate consumption of fresh vegetables, fruits and breakfast, lack of outdoor activity, and insufficient sleep are risk factors for the co-occurrence of elevated blood pressure and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students in Anhui Province. It is necessary to establish school health promotion strategies integrating nutrition, exercise and sleep management as intervention targets to reduce the co-occurrence risk of elevated blood pressure and depressive symptoms among junior and senior high school students.

OBJECTIVE To construct a closed-loop management model for externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions， and to provide reference for standardized management of externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions. METHODS Based on the Expert Consensus on Closed-loop Management of Externally Dispensed Intravenous Prescriptions in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region previously formulated by our hospital， risk points during the entire process were systematically identified through multidisciplinary team brainstorming and a fishbone diagram. A series of strategies were subsequently formulated and implemented， including qualifying designated external dispensing pharmacies and the drug catalogs， operating and maintaining the hospital information system and the Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Service （PIVAS） intelligent management platform， and strengthening differentiated training for staff in the whole workflow. A whole-process closed-loop management system was constructed with PIVAS as the co re hub and the daytime chemotherapy center as the safety terminal. RESULTS A total of 3 cooperating pharmacies and an initial drug list comprising 35 product specifications were selected. A closed‑loop management process encompassing hospital outpatient prescribing， patient drug purchase in designated pharmacies， PIVAS drug dispensing， and medication use in daytime chemotherapy center was successfully established. This system enabled the mandatory grouping and association of externally dispensed intravenous prescriptions with in-hospital diluents， full-process verification based on drug traceability codes， intelligent monitoring of infusion parameters， and whole-process data traceability. CONCLUSIONS The constructed model effectively resolves the coordination and safety oversight during the use of externally dispensed intravenous drugs from out-of-hospital circulation to in-hospital use， and has preliminarily enabled procedural standardization， whole-process information traceability， and proactive control of medication risks.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of euglycemic diabetic ketoacidosis （euDKA） induced by empagliflozin， and provide references for safe medication. METHODS Case reports of euDKA induced by empagliflozin were retrieved and analyzed from PubMed， Web of Science， CNKI， and Wanfang Data. The Naranjo’s scale was adopted to assess the causal relationship between empagliflozin and euDKA. RESULTS A total of 29 patients were enrolled， including 16 males and 13 females，with a median age of 58 years. All patients were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus； 22 patients had at least one comorbidity. The median time to euDKA onset was 60 days after administration， and 7 cases occurred within 2 weeks of treatment. Perioperative periods，fasting，and low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diets were the main predisposing factors. Common presentations included nausea，vomiting， fatigue， tachypnea，and tachycardia. The causal relationship between empagliflozin and euDKA was assessed as “probable” in all cases. According to adverse reaction severity grading， 13 cases were grade 3 （severe） and 16 cases were grade 4 （life-threatening）. All patients discontinued empagliflozin and recovered after corresponding treatment. CONCLUSIONS euDKA is a serious adverse reaction to empagliflozin， which mostly occurs early in treatment. Perioperative periods， fasting， and ketogenic diets are prone to induce euDKA. Elderly patients and those with comorbidities are at higher risk. Risk assessment should be conducted before clinical administration； blood ketones and acid-base monitoring should be strengthened in the early medication period； withhold the drug before elective surgery， avoid prolonged fasting；upon diagnosis， discontinue empagliflozin and initiate intravenous insulin， provide fluid resuscitation promptly， and use other treatments to improve patient prognosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Yanghe Xiaonang Decoction （阳和消囊汤， YXD） in the treatment of polycystic ovarian syndrome （PCOS）-related infertility with healthy qi deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome. MethodsA total of 120 PCOS-related infertility participants with healthy qi deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group in a 1∶1 ratio， with 60 cases in each group. The treatment group started taking YXD on the first day of the menstrual cycle， one dose daily， until the day of sexual intercourse when follicles matured and were released. Those without mature follicles or ovulation could take it until the 14th to 28th day. The control group was given oral letrozole at 2.5 mg daily starting on the 5th day of the menstrual cycle for 5 consecutive days. If the basal body temperature curve remained monophasic on the 28th day of the menstrual cycle， and no dominant follicle was detected by color Doppler ultrasound， estrogen plus progesterone or progesterone alone was administered for withdrawal bleeding， followed by a new treatment cycle. The treatment lasted for three consecutive menstrual cycles. Patients were followed up for 3 months upon confirmed pregnancy or after the completion of the 3rd treatment cycle. The clinical pregnancy rate， total effective rate， pregnancy rate， biochemical pregnancy rate， embryonic arrest rate， and ectopic pregnancy rate between the two groups were compared. Transvaginal color Doppler ultrasound was used for monitoring endometrial thickness， cyclic ovulation status， number of follicles between 2-9 mm， and the difference in transverse and longitudinal diameters of dominant follicles. The levels of endocrine hormone indicators including serum testosterone （T）， prolactin （PRL）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， progesterone （P）， estradiol （E₂）， free testosterone （F-T）， androstenedione （ASD）， inhibin B （INH-B）， and anti-Müllerian hormone （AMH）， as well as the total traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom scores before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. ResultsA total of 58 patients in each group were included in the statistical analysis. The clinical pregnancy rate in the treatment group was 39.66% （23/58）， higher than 22.41% （13/58） in the control group （P＜0.05）. The total effective rate in the treatment group was 96.55% （56/58）， higher than 79.31% （46/58） in the control group （P＜0.05）. The biochemical pregnancy rate and embryonic arrest rate in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. The treatment group was superior to the control group in increasing endometrial thickness and reducing the number of 2-9 mm follicles at the 2nd and 3rd cycles， as well as in improving the cyclic ovulation status and the difference in transverse and longitudinal diameters of dominant follicles at the 3rd cycle （P＜0.05）. After treatment， the treatment group exhibited significant reductions in serum T， LH， F-T， ASD， INH-B， and AMH levels （P＜0.05）. The control group also showed significant decreases in LH， F-T， INH-B， and AMH levels （P＜0.05）. The levels of F-T， INH-B， and AMH in the treatment group after treatment were lower than those in the control group （P＜0.05）. The improvement of the total TCM symptom score in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionYXD can significantly improve the clinical pregnancy rate， reduce the rates of biochemical pregnancy and embryonic arrest， alleviate clinical symptoms， increase endometrial thickness， enhance dominant follicles， and improve endocrine hormone levels in PCOS-related infertility with healthy qi deficiency and phlegm stasis syndrome， showing good safety.

[Purpose]To investigate the acceptance and willingness-to-pay(WTP)of combined can-cer screening among rural residents in Shandong Province,and to analyze its influencing factors.[Methods]A face-to-face questionnaire survey was conducted among rural residents aged 40～70 in villages setected by cluster sampling from three counties(county level city or district)in Shan-dong Province.The questionnaire was developed using the method of double-bound dichotomous choice combined with open-ended questions in contingent valuation.The factors influencing inten-sity of WTP was analyzed with using single-factor and ordinary least squares regression models.[Results]A total of 962 subjects were surveyed.89.19％of the respondents were willing to accept cancer combined screening,and 62.00％were willing to pay part of the costs.The average of WTP was 963.67 CNY,which accounted for 32.12％of the total cost.The proportion of respon-dents who were willing to pay between 0～1 500 CNY was the highest(76.49％).In the multivariate analysis,age,sex and income had significant effects on the maximum payment of multi-cancer screening.[Conclusion]The acceptance of multi-cancer screening among rural residents in the study sites is high,but the willingness-to-pay is limited.The out-of-pocket payment for multi-can-cer screening should be controlled,and a co-payment mechanism among government,enterprises,social organizations and individuals should be explored.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model based on ultrasound signs of prenatal fetal and accessory for adverse pregnancy outcomes of patients with placental implantation disease.Methods:This study is a prospective study.A total of 120 pregnant women who underwent hospital delivery in Tangshan maternal and child health care hospital from January 2022 to June 2023 were selected as the research objects,including 39 cases with placenta implantation and 81 cases without placenta implantation.The cases with placenta implantation were divided into adverse pregnancy group(19 cases)and good pregnancy group(20 cases)according to the different pregnancy outcome.The placental location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line,and cervical sinusoids of all cases were compared.Logistic multivariate analysis was adopted to verify and construct the risk model of placenta implantation and adverse pregnancy outcomes.Results:There was significant difference in placental thickness between the cases with placenta implantation[(37.26±0.52)cm]and the cases without placenta implantation[(36.02±0.25)cm](t=14.127,P<0.05).There were significant differences between the two groups in the placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids(x2=4.061,5.112,8.381,4.771,17.021,32.341,P<0.05),respectively.There was significant difference in placental thickness between the adverse pregnancy group[(36.85±0.42)cm]and the good pregnancy group[(37.45±0.24)cm](t=5.440,P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences between the two groups in the cases number of placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids(x2=6.037,6.041,11.351,6.741,12.321,13.552,P<0.05),respectively.The results of multivariate analysis indicated that placental thickness,placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids were the risk factors for placenta implantation of pregnant women(OR=3.300,3.374,2.995,3.384,2.843,2.878,3.053,P<0.05),respectively.Placental thickness,placenta location,posterior low gyrus vocal cords of placenta,placental multiple lacunae,basal blood vessels,bladder line and cervical sinusoids were respectively the risk factors that caused adverse pregnancy outcomes for pregnant women(OR=2.821,2.886,3.287,3.377,2.942,3.177,3.168,P<0.05).The result of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve indicated that the area under curve(AUC)values of the above model for placenta implantation and adverse pregnancy outcome were larger than 0.700.Conclusion:The prediction based on the model of ultrasound signs of prenatal fetal and accessory is more accurate,which can be used as important reference in clinically early diagnosis.
