ObjectiveTo explore the changes in color, odor and chemical components during wine-processing of Chuanxiong Rhizoma(CR), identify differential markers, and provide a basis for standardizing the process and establishing quality standards. MethodsFifteen batches of CR samples from 4 producing areas were collected. Colorimeter and electronic nose were used to detect the color changes and odor components of CR before and after wine-processing. Multivariate statistical methods including partial least squares-discriminant analysis(PLS-DA), principal component analysis(PCA), discriminant factor analysis(DFA) and Fisher discriminant analysis were applied to identify wine-processed CR at different processing stages and establish discriminant models, and differential components were screened out based on variable importance in the projection(VIP) value1. Then, high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was employed to detect the content changes of four components(ferulic acid, senkyunolide I, senkyunolide A and ligustilide) during the processing stages. ResultsThe differences of wine-processed CR at various stages were primarily reflected in color parameters L*(brightness value), a*(red-green value) and b*(yellow-blue value). Based on chromaticity differences, the color reference ranges were established for moderately processed CR, including L* of 46.75-48.24, a* of 5.37-6.07 and b* of 20.32-21.70. In odor analysis, DFA revealed significant differences among processing stages, and 11 odor markers were identified, with four differential markers(4-hydroxy-3-butylphthalide, isopropyl butyrate, L-limonene and 1-methoxyhexane) based on VIP values. HPLC results showed that there was no significant difference of the four components except for ligustilide in wine-processed CR at different stages. ConclusionThis study achieved rapid identification of wine-processed CR with different processing degrees by electronic sensory technology and differential component content detection, with discrimination accuracy rates of 92.4% and 93.272% for color and odor, respectively. This paper also established the reference ranges of main colorimetric parameters for wine-processed CR at different stages, and four differential components were screened out, providing a basis for standardizing the processing of wine-processed CR and establishing quality standards for this decoction pieces.

Objective:
To investigate the late identification and its influencing factors of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Linhai City, Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2024, so as to provide a basis for formulating targeted AIDS prevention and control strategies.
Methods:
Data on newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Linhai City from 2015 to 2024, including demographic characteristics and detection modes, were collected through the HIV/AIDS Comprehensive Control System of the Chinese Disease Prevention and Control Information System. The new identification rate and late identification proportion of HIV/AIDS cases were analyzed. The average annual percent change (AAPC) was used to assess trends in both the new identification rate and late identification proportion from 2015 to 2024. Multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for late identification among HIV/AIDS cases.
Results:
A total of 589 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases were documented in Linhai City from 2015 to 2024. The new identification rate declined from 5.08/105 in 2015 to 3.53/105 in 2024 (AAPC=-6.161%, P<0.05). Among them, 225 cases were late identified. After excluding 4 cases with inferred late identification, the late identification proportion increased from 24.53% in 2015 to 58.97% in 2024 (AAPC=7.595%, P<0.05). Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that age ≥25 years (25~<50 years, OR=3.569, 95%CI: 1.567-8.130; ≥50 years, OR=8.683, 95%CI: 3.440-21.917) and passive detection (OR=1.730, 95%CI: 1.022-2.928) were associated with a higher risk of late identification. In contrast, being married or having a spouse (OR=0.565, 95%CI: 0.332-0.960) was associated with a lower risk of late identification.
Conclusions
The new identification rate of HIV/AIDS cases in Linhai City from 2015 to 2024 showed a downward trend, while the proportion of late identification exhibited an upward trend. Age, marital status, and detection mode were identified as influencing factors for late identification among HIV/AIDS cases.

Extracellular vesicles(EVs)are nanoscale membrane vesicles released by cells that carry bioactive molecules such as proteins and nucleic acids. They play a key role in intercellular communication. In recent years, they have shown significant potential in the diagnosis and treatment of corneal and ocular surface diseases. As diagnostic biomarkers, EVs derived from tears or other sources can reflect disease-specific characteristics, providing a basis for the early disease detection. In terms of therapy, mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)-derived EVs deliver miRNAs to modulate inflammatory pathways, promote corneal epithelial repair, and inhibit fibrosis. Furthermore, as natural drug vehicles, EVs enable precise delivery of therapeutic agents and promote corneal wound healing. This review systematically summarizes the recent research advances in the application of EVs in the field.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of multimodal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques in assessing symptom remission of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) of bereaved parents who lost their only child.Methods:In this prospective study, 34 parents with PTSD resulting from the loss of the only child were followed-up for 2 years. Based on the PTSD diagnostic status at the end of the follow-up, participants were divided into the remission group and the persistent group.R 3.6.1 and SPSS 20.0 software were used for statistical analysis.Baseline clinical data and neuroimaging findings were compared between the two groups. Logistic regression and LASSO regression analyses were used to identify independent predictors of PTSD symptom remission. The predictive performance of these factors was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis.Results:Initial screening with univariate Logistic regression and LASSO regression revealed that regional homogeneity (ReHo) in the left middle temporal gyrus, the combined predictive value based on ReHo, and the integrated predictive value combining gray matter volume (GMV) and ReHo (GMV-ReHo predictor) were significant factors influencing symptom remission (all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression further demonstrated that the GMV-ReHo predictor retained independent predictive significance ( P<0.05), with ROC curve analysis showing an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.979 (95% CI=0.935-0.996, P<0.001) for its ability to predict PTSD remission. Notably, a combined model incorporating both the scores of the clinician administered PTSD scale (CAPS) and the GMV-ReHo predictor achieved an enhanced predictive performance, yielding an AUC of 0.984 (95% CI=0.952-0.998, P<0.001). Conclusion:The GMV-ReHo predictor effectively identifies symptom remission in PTSD resulting from the loss of the only child.
