This article systematically analyzed the historical evolution of the name， origin， harvesting and others of Longan Arillus by referring to the ancient and modern literature， in order to provide a foundation for developing famous classical formulas containing this herb. After textual research， it indicated that Longan Arillus was first recorded under the name of longan in Shennong Bencaojing of the Han dynasty. During the Ming and Qing dynasties， Longan Arillus gradually replaced longan as the standard name recorded in the materia medica， with additional aliases including Yizhi， Lizhinu and Yuanyan. The source of Longan Arillus used in the past dynasties was the arillus of the Sapindaceae plant Dimocarpus longan. The production regions recorded in the past dynasties were mainly Fujian， Guangdong， Guangxi， Hainan， Sichuan and others. Since the Qing dynasty， Longan Arillus produced in Fujian， Guangdong and Guangxi have been regarded as the finest and authentic varieties， with Fujian， Guangxi， and Guangdong remaining the primary authentic production areas today. In ancient times， the fruits were primarily harvested in August of the lunar calendar. However， modern longan cultivation typically involves harvesting ripe fruits during summer and autumn. Post-harvest processing involves removing moisture through sun-drying or baking before drying for medicinal use. Throughout history， processing methods have primarily focused on raw product， though techniques such as wine soaking and powdering have also been employed. Since modern times， it has been concluded that its quality is the best one with thick flesh， sweet taste， brownish-yellow color and tender texture. Longan Arillus possesses a sweet and warm nature， entering the heart and spleen meridians. Its primary functions are tonifying the heart and spleen， nourishing the blood and calming the spirit， which is consistent in ancient and modern times. Based on the textual research， it is suggested to use the arillus of D. longan when developing the famous classical formulas containing Longan Arillus. Processing methods should be selected according to the formula requirements， where no specific processing is indicated， the raw products is recommended for medicinal use.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of 6 kinds of GLP-1RAs in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） patients with overweight or obesity， and to provide evidence-based reference for clinical practice. METHODS A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed， Embase， Web of Science， the Cochrane Library， CNKI， VIP， Wanfang Data， and CBM from the inception to December 1， 2025. Randomized controlled trials （RCTs） were screened according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed on the included studies. Network meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 17.0 software. RESULTS A total of 29 eligible RCTs were included， involving 7 404 patients. Six GLP-1RAs were evaluated： semaglutide， liraglutide， exenatide， dulaglutide， polyethylene glycol loxenatide， and beinaglutide. In terms of glycemic control， semaglutide had the highest probability of ranking first in reducing glycated hemoglobin （HbA1c） and fasting plasma glucose levels， followed by polyethylene glycol loxenatide. In terms of weight management， semaglutide showed the highest probability of ranking first， followed by liraglutide and exenatide. Regarding safety， dulaglutide had the highest probability of ranking first in reducing the incidence of gastrointestinal adverse events； none of the GLP-1RAs significantly increased the risk of severe hypoglycemia. Subgroup analysis revealed that liraglutide 1.8 mg， qd and exenatide extend-release 2.0 mg， qw demonstrated superior efficacy in reducing HbA1c and body weight compared with other doses/dosage forms of the same agents. CONCLUSIONS For T2DM patients with overweight or obesity， semaglutide offers the greatest benefits in glycemic control and weight reduction， while dulaglutide demonstrates superior gastrointestinal tolerability. Liraglutide 1.8 mg， qd and exenatide extend-release 2.0 mg， qw show relatively better overall efficacy in glycemic control and weight reduction among the same agents.

Liver fibrosis is a critical pathological stage in the progression of various chronic liver diseases to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer， and it is characterized by the activation of hepatic stellate cells and excessive deposition of extracellular matrix. There are currently limited clinical treatment methods for liver fibrosis， and gene therapy has attracted increasing attention as a promising intervention strategy. Owing to its advantages of low immunogenicity， strong tissue tropism， and long-term gene expression， adeno-associated virus （AAV） has become an ideal vector for gene therapy. This article systematically reviews the structural and functional features of AAV， the tissue-targeting properties of different serotypes， and the methods for preparation and purification of recombinant AAV and focuses on the advances in the application of AAV-mediated gene overexpression， gene silencing， gene editing， and cellular reprogramming in mechanism research and intervention of liver fibrosis， as well as the challenges in clinical translation and corresponding strategies. AAV-mediated gene therapy is expected to provide novel tools and strategies for the precise treatment and mechanism study of liver fibrosis.

Objective To explore the function of olfactomedin domain family protein 3(OLFM3)in neuroblastoma(NB).Methods The relationship between the expression of OLFM3 mRNA and v-myc avian myelocytomatosis viral oncogene neuroblastoma derived homolog(MYCN)amplification status and the prognosis of patients in NB clin-ical samples were clarified by using R2 Genomics Analysis and Visualization Platform.Depmap database was used to examine the expression level of OLFM3 in different tumors cell lines and to identify the correlation between OLFM3 expression and MYCN amplification status in various NB cell lines.RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the knockdown level of OLFM3.Cell proliferation was monitored using crystal violet staining and real?time cellular analysis.The colony formation ability of NB cells was assessed using colony?forming unit assay.Results Analysis of R2 database revealed higher level of OLFM3 expression in MYCN?amplified NB clinical samples(P<0.001).Patients with high OLFM3 expression showed a significantly lower overall survival probability compared to those with low OLFM3 expression(P<0.05).Analysis with Depmap database revealed that the expres?sion level of OLFM3 was higher in NB than that in other kind of tumor.The expression level of OLFM3 was signifi?cantly higher in the MYCN?amplified cell lines than in the MYCN?non?amplified cell lines(P<0.01).In MYCN?am?plified NB cells,knockdown of OLFM3 inhibited cells proliferation(P<0.001)and colony formation(P<0.001),but there was no noticeable changes observed in MYCN?non?amplified cells.Conclusions OLFM3 specifically pro?motes the proliferation of MYCN?amplified NB cells,but has a less effect on MYCN?non?amplified cells,indicating it is a potential biomarker for high?risk MYCN?amplified NB.

Objective To elucidate the functional role and underlying mechanisms of the ribosome biogenesis factor BMS1 in neuroblastoma(NB)cellular proliferation.Methods We utilized the R2 genomics analysis and visualization platform to analyze the correlation between BMS1 expression levels and clinical characteristics of NB children.The BMS1 mRNA level in three human neuroblastoma cells SK-N-BE(2),BE(2)-C,IMR-32 and two normal cells hTERT RPE-1,IMR-90 was detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Two distinct small interfering RNA(siRNA)sequences were used to target BMS1 mRNA in NB cells SK-N-BE(2)and BE(2)-C,with normal cells hTERT RPE-1 serving as controls.We used RT-qPCR to quantify the mRNA levels of BMS1 and two key neuroblastoma-associated molecules(MYCN and p53).After transfection with siRNA,cellular proliferation was detected by various experimental approaches:crystal violet staining,real-time cell analysis(RTCA),colony-forming unit assay and immunofluorescence.Results By analyzing two independent neuroblastoma clinical cohorts(GSE85047/NRC-283 and Westermann-144 datasets),it was found that the BMS1 mRNA level in MYCN-amplified NB was significantly higher than that in MYCN-non-amplified NB(P<0.05).Furthermore,the overall survival rate of NB children in the BMS1 high-expression group was decreased(P<0.05).Consistent with these clinical observations,the BMS1 mRNA level in NB cells SK-N-BE(2),BE(2)-C and IMR-32 was significantly higher than that in normal cells hTERT RPE-1,IMR-90(P<0.05).The targeted transient knockdown of BMS1 in NB cell lines SK-N-BE(2)and BE(2)-C resulted in decreased intracellular MYCN mRNA expression levels(P<0.05),significantly reduced cell proliferation capacity and colony-forming ability(P<0.05).Immunofluorescence revealed that the expression of Ki-67,a proliferation marker,was decreased(P<0.05).At the molecular level,RT-qPCR showed that the p53 mRNA level was significantly elevated in the BMS1-knockdown groups(si BMS1-1#and si BMS1-2#)compared with the control group(P<0.05).However,transient knockdown of BMS1 had no significant impact on the proliferative capacity of normal cells hTERT RPE-1.Conclusion BMS1 expression was up-regulated in MYCN-amplified NB and negatively correlated with the prognosis of the NB children.Mechanistically,interfering with BMS1 expression may transcriptionally activate p53 in NB cells,thereby inhibiting their proliferative ability,while having minimal impact on normal cells growth kinetics.These findings suggest that BMS1 serves as an important proliferation driver in NB and is expected to be a promising therapeutic target for NB children,particularly MYCN-amplified pediatric patients.

Background and Aims:Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD)is a common complication following sleeve gastrectomy(SG),particularly in patients with concomitant hiatal hernia,where symptoms tend to be more persistent and refractory,significantly impairing postoperative quality of life.This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair combined with gastroesophageal fixation in SG patients with severe GERD and hiatal hernia,providing clinical reference for revisional surgical strategies.Methods:The clinical data of 9 patients with severe GERD after SG who underwent laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair and gastroesophageal fixation at Huashan Hospital,Fudan University,between January 2023 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.GerdQ scores,proportion of endoscopically confirmed reflux esophagitis,and proton pump inhibitor(PPI)usage were compared before and after surgery.Surgical parameters and follow-up outcomes were also recorded.Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery without major intraoperative complications,and the mean postoperative hospital stay was 5.22 d.After a mean follow-up period of 15.27 months,the GerdQ score significantly decreased from 11.67±2.00 to 7.22±1.48.The proportion of patients with GerdQ score≥8 decreased from 100.00％to 44.44％,and the rate of endoscopically confirmed GERD dropped from 88.89％to 11.11％;PPI use also significantly declined,with all differences reaching statistical significance(all P＜0.05).Conclusion:Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair combined with gastroesophageal fixation can effectively alleviate reflux symptoms in SG patients with coexisting hiatal hernia,demonstrating favorable short-term efficacy and high safety.This approach may be a preferable surgical option for selected patients.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a common chronic disease of the digestive system, has a severe impact on the quality of life of patients and simultaneously increases the medical burden. The symptoms of GERD are diverse and atypical, and diagnosis requires a comprehensive assessment of symptoms, endoscopic findings, reflux monitoring, and therapeutic responses. Lifestyle interventions and pharmacological treatment remain the preferred basic treatment modalities for GERD, which have a favorable relieving effect on most of the population. Patients who do not respond to conservative treatment can undergo endoscopic anti-reflux surgery and surgical procedures. For patients with concomitant esophageal hiatal hernia, esophageal hiatal hernia repair can be performed simultaneously. With the high prevalence of obesity and the popularization of bariatric surgery, GERD in the obese population and those after bariatric surgery has gradually received more attention. This article summarizes the current status of the diagnosis and treatment of GERD and prospects the new technologies and research directions in the future.

Objective:This study aims to evaluate the nasal structural and electrophysiological features of patients with postoperative olfactory dysfunction following aesthetic rhinoplasty.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical features of 30 outpatients (females, aged 33±6 years) from Beijing Anzhen Hospital and China-Japan Friendship Hospital between 2014 and 2023, who complained of olfactory dysfunction following aesthetic rhinoplasty. The control group was 30 healthy females aged 32±9 years. Psychophysical olfactory test (Sniffin′ Sticks, SS), olfactory and trigeminal event-related potentials (oERPs and tERPs), and acoustic rhinometry were used for evaluating the olfactory function and nasal structure in patients and healthy controls. SPSS 17.0 software was used to compare the difference in olfactory function and nasal structure between the two groups and to analyze the factors related postoperative olfactory dysfunction.Results:There was a significant difference in the scores on psychophysical olfactory test between the patients and controls (10.78±3.90 vs. 33.66±2.42, t=-23.35, P<0.001). ERPs could be evoked in all patients and controls. Patients showed higher amplitudes of N 1 waves in both oERPs and tERPs than controls ( P<0.05 for all), but no differences in the latencies of N 1 and P 2 waves or in the amplitudes of P 2 waves were observed between the two groups ( P>0.05 for all). There was no difference in nasal structure between the two groups ( P>0.05). However, after nasal decongestant, mucosal congestion in the cross-sectional area (CSA) from the nostril to 6 cm level was found more significantly in patients than controls (nasal congestion index 40.00% vs. 1.00%, t=2.09, P=0.047). Better olfactory function was associated with increasing nasal volumes, increasing nasal threshold and anterior nasal turbinate plane CSA( P<0.05 for all). Conclusion:The important factor related to olfactory dysfunction following aesthetic rhinoplasty may be attributed to local mucosal congestion, rather than nasal structural alteration or neurophysiologic deficits in the olfactory pathway.

Objective:To explore the effect of ginsenoside Rg1 on spermatogenic dysfunction in mice caused by diabetes and its mechanism of action.Methods:Eighteen male C57BL mice were randomly divided into control group, the model group and the ginsenoside Rg1 group by completely random method, with 6 mice in each group. Type 2 diabetes models were established in the model group and the ginsenoside Rg1 group by a high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, while control group was injected with the same amount of normal saline. After successful modeling, control group was given a regular diet for 8 weeks, while the model group and ginsenoside Rg1 group were given a high-fat diet for 8 weeks. The ginsenoside Rg1 group was also treated with ginsenoside Rg1 medication. Reproductive hormone levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test kits, and Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of apoptosis-related proteins (Bcl2 protein, Caspase-3 protein, Bax protein), autophagy-related proteins (P62, LC3Ⅰ, LC3Ⅱ, Beclin1), β-Catenin protein, mTOR protein, LAMP1 protein and transcription factor EB. The body weight, blood glucose levels, testicular index of mice in each group were compared, as well as the testicular injury status.Results:The body weight [(18.77±1.14) g], testosterone level [(141.07±8.47) ng/L], follicle-stimulating hormone level [(9.19±0.74) U/L], and luteinizing hormone level [(1 497.91±99.57) pg/L] of mice in the model group were significantly lower than those in the control [(31.57±2.35) g, P<0.001; (171.50±11.76) ng/L, P<0.001; (12.46±1.54) U/L, P<0.001; (1 807.29±92.76) pg/L, P<0.001]; fasting blood glucose level [(20.82±1.11) mmol/L], glycosylated hemoglobin (12.67%±1.03%), the testis index (0.65%±0.03%) were significantly higher than those in the control [(6.40±1.34) mmol/L, P<0.001; 5.17%±1.17%, P<0.001; 0.48%±0.04%, P<0.001]. Compared with the model group, the body weight [(22.62±0.92) g, P=0.023], testosterone level [(172.63±9.20) ng/L, P<0.001], follicle-stimulating hormone level [(12.37±1.15) U/L, P<0.001], and luteinizing hormone level [(1 847.80±108.80) pg/L, P<0.001] of mice in the ginsenoside Rg1 group increased significantly, fasting blood glucose level [(18.63±1.14) mmol/L, P=0.017], glycosylated hemoglobin (8.50%±1.05%, P<0.001) and testicular index (0.54%±0.02%, P<0.001) decreased significantly. Compared with the control, the expressions of P62 ( P=0.039), LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ( P<0.001), Beclin1 ( P=0.002) and mTOR ( P=0.036) in the testicular tissue of mice in the model group all increased, the expression of β-Catenin ( P<0.001), LAMP1 ( P=0.005), transcription factor EB ( P<0.001) all decreased. Compared with the model group, the expressions of autophagy-related proteins P62 ( P=0.048), LC3Ⅱ/LC3Ⅰ( P<0.001) , Beclin1 ( P=0.023) and mTOR ( P=0.005) in the ginsenoside Rg1 group all decreased, while the expression of β-Catenin ( P=0.001), LAMP1 ( P=0.011) and transcription factor EB ( P=0.022) all increased. Transmission electron microscopy detected a decrease in the number of autophagosomes in the testicles of mice in the model group, and it improved after drug intervention. The HE staining showed that the testes of mice in the model group exhibited phenotypes such as the shedding and disorganization of spermatogenic cells, while ginsenoside Rg1 was able to improve these phenotypes. Conclusion:Ginsenoside Rg1 can improve testicular injury caused by diabetes in mice by regulating autophagy.
