Objective:
To investigate the status of heat illness, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heat wave knowledge among food delivery riders, so as to provide a basis for optimizing heat wave response measures for food delivery riders.
Methods:
In November 2022, food delivery riders from a large food delivery platform in Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province were selected as survey subjects using a cluster sampling method. A self-designed electronic questionnaire was used to select demographic information, work status, lifestyle behaviors and disease history, heat illness status, knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors of heatwave.
Results:
A total of 911 questionnaires were distributed, and 830 valid questionnaires were recovered, resulting in a valid response rate of 91.11%. Among the respondents, 796 (95.90%) were male, and 818 (98.55%) worked full-time. The mean age was (27.75±8.00) years. A total of 470 respondents (56.63%) had a work tenure of less than 1 year. The primary working hours were 8-<12 hours, with 504 people accounting for 60.72%. There were 108 cases of heatstroke, with an occurrence rate of 13.01%. And 286 people reported heat-related symptoms, with an occurrence rate of 34.46%. The overall awareness rate of heat wave knowledge was 73.22%, while the awareness rate of heat warning signal classification was relatively low at 9.04%. The heat wave cognition score was (5.86±1.31) points. There were statistically significant differences in heat wave cognition scores among food delivery riders of different ages, educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and work durations (all P<0.05). Regarding positive adaptive behaviors, the number of riders paying attention to weather forecasts and actively learning about preventive measures was higher (734 people each, accounting for 88.43%). Regarding negative adaptive behaviors, the number of riders who often drank ice-cold beverages was higher (509 people, accounting for 61.33%). The heat wave adaptive behavior score was (6.88±1.77) points. There were statistically significant differences in adaptive behavior scores among riders with different educational levels, family annual income, work tenures, and smoking frequency (all P<0.05).
Conclusions
The occurrence rates of heatstroke and heat-related symptoms among food delivery riders are relatively high. The knowledge awareness and adaptive behaviors regarding heat wave are at a moderate level. It is suggested to strengthen health education, reinforce risk cognition of heat wave, and promote positive adaptive behaviors among food delivery riders.

Geniposide, the primary active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Gardeniae Fructus, is a water-soluble iridoid glycoside. Pharmacological studies have demonstrated that geniposide exhibits various biological activities, including hepatoprotective, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, neuroprotective, antidepressant effects, and inhibitory activity against ischemia-reperfusion injury. Recent research has revealed its promising potential in preventing and treating diseases such as atherosclerosis and osteoporosis, indicating broad application prospects. Numerous in vitro and in vivo studies indicate that the pharmacodynamic mechanisms of geniposide are primarily associated with the inhibition of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, improvement of lipid metabolism, and regulation of apoptosis. However, due to its high water solubility and rapid metabolism in vivo, geniposide suffers from low oral bioavailability, which limits its therapeutic efficacy and clinical application. In recent years, various formulations, such as creams, cubic liquid crystals, hydrogels, and liposomes, have been developed to address its bioavailability issues. This article reviewed the latest research progress on the pharmacological activities and formulation development of geniposide by analyzing domestic and international literature from the past decade, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for further research, development, and utilization of geniposide and its formulations.

Objective: Blood safety surveillance is a critical measure for the objective assessment of blood quality and enhancing transfusion safety. This study aims to comprehensively understand the current status of blood safety surveillance and management in blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province, systematically analyze existing problems and vulnerabilities, and provide a basis for optimizing management strategies and improving capabilities to ensure blood safety. Methods: The Blood Safety Surveillance questionnaire was designed, covering adverse donor reaction reporting, management of adverse events, and transfusion adverse reaction feedback. An online survey was conducted via Questionnaire Star platform among 21 blood collection and supply institutions in the province, gathering information on management systems, process implementation, and utilization of monitoring data. The collected data were organized and statistically analyzed using Excel. Results: The questionnaire response rate and validity rate were both 100%. Blood collection and supply institutions in Sichuan Province have generally established a blood safety surveillance system and achieved positive outcomes. Regarding adverse events in blood collection and supply, 95.24% (20 institutions) have established reporting procedures, and 66.67% (14) collect information through multiple channels such as internal reports, external reports, and statistical trend feedback. A total of 90.48% (19) institutions regularly summarize and analyze adverse event data, and 85.71% (18) produce reports with improvement recommendations based on this analysis.71.43% (15) institutions implement reward and penalty measures, and 71.43% (15) report underreporting or omission due to accountability or performance concerns. In terms of monitoring adverse blood donation reactions, all blood collection and supply institutions have established full-process management systems.76.19% (16) collect data through multiple approaches, including on-site donation records, voluntary donor reports, and donor follow-ups. Adverse reactions were followed up in 95.24% (20) of institutions with 65% (13) completing follow-ups within 24 hours.80.95% (17) have established investigation procedures, while 66.67% (14) believe underreporting or omission still occurs. All blood collection and supply institutions regularly compile statistics on adverse donation reactions. Of these, 85.71% (18) institutions providing feedback to management departments and 90.48% (19) analyzing the data and making recommendations.76.19% (16) institutions use monitoring data for return donor management and targeted care, and 71.43% (15 stations) incorporate it into management reviews. Regarding adverse transfusion reactions, 95.24% (20) institutions have established and implemented procedures for isolating, recalling, and tracing of problematic blood units. However, only 42.86% (9) have established feedback mechanisms of adverse transfusion reaction with hospitals, and only 19.05% (4) support direct reporting via information systems.47.62% (10) institutions regularly analyze adverse transfusion reaction data, and 19.05% (4) provide feedback and recommendations to relevant hospitals. All blood collection and supply institutions reported challenges in collecting hospital feedback, citing complexities in data collection and reporting processes. Conclusion: Blood safety surveillance systems have been preliminarily established in Sichuan Province. However, further strengthening is still required, including conducting in-depth data analysis and utilization, standardizing the configuration of emergency medications and equipment, and improving feedback mechanisms for adverse transfusion reactions. To improve the overall level of blood safety management, it is recommended to strengthen closed-loop data management, improve feedback mechanisms between blood collection and supply institutions and hospitals, foster a non-punitive reporting culture, and systematically advance the regionalization and standardization of the monitoring system. These efforts will contribute to sustainably improving the overall effectiveness and sustainability of blood safety management.

Gastric cancer remains a highly prevalent malignancy worldwide, with surgical resection currently constituting the cornerstone of treatment aimed at improving long-term patient survival. Owing to their notable advantages, including reduced surgical trauma and accelerated postoperative recovery, minimally invasive procedures are progressively supplanting conventional open surgery and have become the mainstream approach in gastric cancer management. Concurrently, the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has enabled real-time intraoperative monitoring of surgical scenes, thereby furnishing novel technical support for adjunctive decision-making, surgical navigation, and skill assessment during gastrectomy. This article provides a systematic review of the current status of AI applications in minimally invasive gastric cancer surgery, with a particular focus on research progress pertaining to instrument recognition, surgical phase identification, delineation of normal anatomical structures, detection of metastatic foci, and early warning of intraoperative adverse events. Furthermore, we discuss the potential value of AI in enhancing surgical efficiency, ensuring patient safety, and optimizing surgical education. On this basis, we further analyze the principal challenges and inherent risks confronting current AI systems, with the aim of informing future technological innovation and facilitating clinical translation.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of endovascular treatment (EVT) in young patients with symptomatic intracranial atherosclerotic stenosis (sICAS).Methods:Young patients with sICAS admitted to the Department of Neurology, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, the Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University, Medical School from January 2020 to July 2024 were included retrospectively. According to the therapeutic modalities, they were divided into a best medical treatment (BMT) group and an EVT group. The efficacy outcome was any stroke recurrence or death within 30 days and 1 year. The safety outcome was symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) within 30 days and restenosis within 1 year.Results:A total of 113 patients were enrolled, including 85 males (75.2%), with a median age of 43 (interquartile range, 37-48) years; 44 patients (38.9%) received EVT, and 69 (61.1%) received BMT. Among the 44 patients who underwent EVT, 8 (18.2%) underwent balloon angioplasty and 36 (81.8%) underwent stenting. There was no significant difference in the incidence of stroke recurrence or death within 30 days (2.9% vs. 2.3%) and sICH incidence (0% vs. 2.3%) between the BMT group and the EVT group. However, the 1-year stroke recurrence or death rate in the EVT group was significantly lower than that in the BMT group (18.8% vs. 4.5%; P=0.029). Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that EVT was independently associated with a lower incidence of stroke recurrence or death within 1 year (hazard ratio 0.225, 95% confidence interval 0.051-0.996; P<0.05). The median age of the balloon angioplasty group was significantly lower than that of the stenting group (33.5 years vs. 46 years; P=0.007), while there were no significant differences in other demographic and baseline data. There was no significant difference in all efficacy and safety outcome between the balloon angioplasty group and the stenting group. Conclusions:For young patients with sICAS who have an unsatisfactory response to drug treatment, EVT can reduce the risk of stroke recurrence or death within 1 year without increasing the risk of sICH. The safety and efficacy of balloon angioplasty and stenting are similar.

Objective:To establish UPLC characteristic spectrum of Hujiao standard decoction and the determination method for the content of piperine.Methods:15 batches of freeze-dried powder of Hujiao standard decoction were prepared according to the traditional decocting method. The range of paste yield was determined, and the UPLC characteristic spectrum of the standard decoction was established. High-resolution mass spectrometry and control products were used to identify common peaks. Based on the common peak area, the weights of each peak were compared using entropy weight method, and correlation analysis and similarity evaluation were conducted using clustering analysis and grey correlation method; a method for determining the content of piperine in Hujiao decoction pieces and freeze-dried powder of standard decoction was simultaneously established, and the transfer rate was calculated.Results:The extraction rate of 15 batches of freeze-dried powder of Hujiao standard decoction ranged from 10.4% to 16.8%, with an average of 14.0%. The content of piperine ranged from 12.2 to 30.0 mg/g, with an average of 18.5 mg/g, and the transfer rate ranged from 4.0% to 7.8%, with an average of 5.8%. Six common peaks were identified in the established characteristic spectrum and identified by high-resolution mass spectrometry and control products respectively. Peak 1 was N-trans-feruloyltyramine, peak 3 was piperine and the similarity was 0.959-1.000. Clustering analysis and grey correlation analysis showed that there was little difference between quality of Piperis Fructus and origins.Conclusion:In this study, the characteristic spectrum and content determination method of freeze-dried powder of Hujiao standard decoction are established, which can provide references for quality detection and control of Hujiao standard decoction or its derivative products.
