Wilson disease （WD） is one of the few treatable neurogenetic disorders. Currently， Western medicine remains the main treatment method for WD， while since the 1990s， multiple studies conducted by Professor Yang Renmin and his team have shown that traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） also has a favorable therapeutic effect. Based on the principle of low-copper diet for WD， this article systematically elaborates on the advantages， limitations， and key considerations of current Western medicine therapies （pharmacotherapy， liver transplantation， and splenectomy） and reviews the research findings of TCM in China， especially the wide application of Gandou Decoction in clinical practice. Studies have shown that Gandou Decoction can effectively improve neurological symptoms， protect hepatic and renal function， and avoid the adverse drug reactions associated with metal chelating agents， and therefore， it can be used an effective long-term adjuvant therapy for WD. It should be noted that symptoms and signs should be considered in integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine therapy for WD， and high-copper TCM drugs should be avoided to prevent deterioration.

Objective: To explore the barriers to physical activity behavior among overweight and obese children and adolescents, so as to provide evidence for developing physical activity intervention programs. Methods: From March to April 2025, 13 overweight or obese children and adolescents from one primary school and one secondary school in Nanjing were selected by purposive sampling for semi structured interviews. Guided by the capability, opportunity and motivation-behavior model, data were coded, categorized and analyzed using content analysis. Results: A total of 13 interviews were completed, with a cumulative duration of 358 minutes. Three themes and eight subthemes were identified:capability factors, including physical discomfort and limited physical fitness, weak exercise skills and insufficient behavioral regulation ability, and insufficient psychological capability; opportunity factors, including insufficient family support and negative influence, pressure from school and peer environments, and limited time resources and exercise conditions; and motivation factors, including low self efficacy and situations prone to giving up, and insufficient positive feedback and lack of attractiveness of exercise forms. Conclusions Barriers to physical activity among overweight and obese children and adolescents result from the combined effects of capability, opportunity and motivation. It is necessary to lower the threshold for initiating exercise, strengthen positive experiences and feedback, and build integrate family-school support environments to promote the initiation and maintenance of physical activity behaviors in children and adolescents.

The ethical review exemption system was introduced to meet the needs of modernized ethical governance， implement hierarchical management for ethical review projects involving human subjects， and explore an ethical management model that reduces procedural supervision for specific types of research involving no greater than minimal risk. Through a comparative study， this paper seeks to elaborate on the differences between China and the United States （US） in the ethical review exemption system from multiple aspects， such as ethical regulations， risk definition， preconditions， applicable scenarios， and operational procedures. The aim is to provide references for ethical review committees to better implement the ethical review exemption system， enhance policy research， and ensure the fairness and objectivity of ethical review. Through the comparative study of the ethics review exemption system in China and the US， the following recommendations are proposed for institutions implementing the ethical review exemption system for reference. First， the system should clearly define the meaning of ethical review exemption to prevent researchers or even committee members from misunderstanding it as falling outside the scope of ethical review， thereby exposing research participants’ rights and interests to unnecessary risks. Second， the system should specifically explain the preconditions， including the requirements for research types and research risks. Among them， risks should be considered from multiple dimensions such as physiology， psychology， society， and economy. Clear explanations should be provided for involving commercial interests and sensitive personal information. Finally， the system should establish basic principles and judgment criteria for applicable scenarios， including specifying exactly what the public data refers to and legal requirements that need to be met， providing a concept of anonymization to distinguish it from deidentified information data， and clarifying the relevant regulations and ethical principles to be followed， as well as the clear requirements for informed consent.

BackgroundThe global prevalence of depressive disorders is high， with a significant treatment gap remaining. Escitalopram oxalate， as a commonly used antidepressant in clinical practice， has a single target and is prone to cause adverse reactions such as gastrointestinal discomfort. The traditional Mongolian medicine Zadi-5 pills has a multi-target anti-depression mechanism and unique advantages such as improving the intestinal flora. However， there is currently a lack of randomized controlled trial evidence for the combined treatment of first-episode depression， along with insufficient research on its metabolic safety and potential drug interactions. ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy and safety of Zadi-5 pills combined with escitalopram oxalate in the treatment of the first-episode depression， so as to provide references for Mongolian medicine in depression management. MethodsA randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 103 patients with first-episode depression who were treated in the outpatient or inpatient departments of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Mental Health Center from January 2023 to December 2024 and met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episode as defined in International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） were included. Random numbers were generated using the RAND function in Excel software， and the patients were divided into the study group （n=52） and the control group （n=51）. Both groups received escitalopram oxalate treatment， starting from 5 mg/d and gradually increasing to 20 mg/d. The study group additionally received Zadi-5 pills， 13 pills per day. The treatment duration for both groups was 6 weeks. Before treatment and at the 2^nd， 4^th， and 6^th weeks of treatment， the severity of depressive symptoms was evaluated using the Hamilton Depression Scale-24 item （HAMD-24）. At these time points， blood was collected on an empty stomach at 7∶00 for the detection of liver function （aspartate aminotransferase， alanine aminotransferase）， triglycerides， and the blood concentration of escitalopram oxalate. ResultsA total of 100 patients completed the study， with 50 cases in the study group and the control group. The results of the repeated measures ANOVA showed that the interaction effect between group and time in the HAMD-24 score was statistically significant （F _interaction= 18.070， P<0.01）. At the end of the 4^th and 6^th weeks of treatment， the HAMD-24 score of the study group was lower than those of the control group （P<0.05）. At each time point after treatment， the reduction rate of the HAMD-24 score in the study group was higher than those of the control group， and the differences were all statistically significant （P<0.05）. The interaction effect between the triglyceride level groups and time was statistically significant （F_interaction=3.381， P<0.05）.After treatment， the triglyceride levels in the study group showed a downward trend， while those in the control group showed an upward trend. There was no statistically significant interaction effect between the groups and time for liver function （aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase） and the blood concentration of escitalopram oxalate （P>0.05）. ConclusionCompared with escitalopram oxalate treatment alone， the combination of Zadi-5 pills and escitalopram oxalate is more effective in treating the first-episode depression， without increasing the risk of liver damage. The combined medication may have a potential beneficial effect on lipid metabolism. ［Funded by Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Health Science and Technology Planning Project （number， 202202107）］

Utilizing CiteSpace and VOSviewer， a bibliometric analysis was conducted on 1，496 articles from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure， Chinese Science and Technology periodical database， Wanfang data， and the Web of Science database spanning 2006 to 2025， systematically revealing the evolutionary patterns of knowledge regarding doctor‐patient shared decision‐making （SDM） in the field of chronic disease management. The research indicated that the number of publications at home and abroad displayed an overall upward trend， yet their development paths differed significantly. International research has formed a “core-periphery” cooperation network， with research hotspots focusing on the improvement of decision-making quality， optimization of decision-making aids， application in primary care settings， and ethical issues in decision-making. Domestic research， driven by policies， developed rapidly and paid more attention to coverage improvement and cultural adaptation， but notable gaps remained in cross-institutional cooperation and tool localization. Currently， China’s practice still encountered multiple challenges， including restricted patients’ participation willingness due to “family-oriented” cultural values， inadequate localization of decision-making aids， and imperfect decision-making support systems in primary healthcare institutions. On this basis， this paper put forward localized suggestions from three dimensions， including cultural adaptation， technological innovation， and institutional coordination. Through multi-dimensional strategies such as advocating for constructing a family-empowered decision-making model， developing decision-making aids integrated with the dialectical logic of traditional Chinese medicine， and promoting the linkage between SDM implementation and the reform of medical insurance payment methods， it was expected to connect international experience with China’s practice. This aimed to provide references for building a chronic disease decision-making model with Chinese characteristics and contribute to the “patient-centered” medical transformation.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effectiveness of horticultural therapy involving the planting of Chinese medicinal herbs （mint and lily potted plants） combined with intradermal needling therapy for generalized anxiety disorder （GAD） of liver depression transforming into fire syndrome under transcranial magnetic stimulation and basic psychological therapy， and to explore the possible mechanisms of action. MethodsA total of 180 patients with GAD of liver depression transforming into fire syndrome were randomly divided into three groups， horticultural therapy group， intradermal needling group， and horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group， with 60 patients in each. All groups received basic treatment including basic psychological therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation. The horticultural therapy group received horticultural therapy in addition to the basic treatment； the intradermal needling group received intradermal needling therapy once a week for 8 weeks in addition to the basic treatment； the horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group received both horticultural therapy and intradermal needling therapy， following the same procedures and duration. Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale （HAMA）， Self-Rating Anxiety Scale （SAS）， and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index （PSQI） scores were assessed at baseline and after 2， 4， 6， and 8 weeks of treatment. Serum levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone （ACTH） and corticosterone （CORT） were measured before treatment and after 8 weeks of treatment. Motor-evoked potential （MEP） baseline levels were recorded before treatment， and MEP amplitude ratios were compared after 1 week and 8 weeks of treatment. Clinical effectiveness and safety were evaluated after 8 weeks of treatment. Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between serum ACTH and CORT levels， MEP amplitude， and anxiety. ResultsIn the horticultural therapy group and intradermal needling group， HAMA， SAS and PSQI scores after 4， 6， and 8 weeks treatment were lower than baseline scores （P＜0.05）. In the horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group， these scores showed a significant decline starting after 2 weeks treatment and continuing through 8 weeks after treatment （P＜0.05）. The HAMA， SAS， and PSQI scores in the horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group were significantly lower than those in the other two groups after 2， 4， 6， and 8 weeks treatment （P＜0.05）. After 8 weeks of treatment， serum CORT and ACTH levels in the horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group were significantly lower than baseline levels （P＜0.05） and were also lower than those in the horticultural therapy group and intradermal needling group at the same time point （P＜0.01）. When comparing the level after 8 weeks treatment to that after 1 week treatment， under PAS10 stimulation， the MEP amplitude ratio in the intradermal needling group decreased at 30 minutes， while in the horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group， the MEP amplitude ratio decreased at all time points （P＜0.05 or P＜0.001）； under PAS25 stimulation， the MEP amplitude ratio in the horticultural therapy group increased at 20 minutes， and in the intradermal needle group at 10 minutes （P＜0.05）. In the horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group， the MEP amplitude ratio increased significantly at all time points after treatment （P＜0.001）. The cure rate in the horticultural therapy+intradermal needling group （74.14%， 43/58） was significantly higher than that in the horticultural therapy group （30.00%， 18/60） and the intradermal needling group （48.28%， 28/58， P＜0.05）. Correlation analysis revealed that serum ACTH and CORT levels were positively correlated with HAMA scores （r = 0.488， P＜0.01； r = 0.428， P＜0.01）. Following PAS10 intervention， the MEP amplitude ratio was positively correlated with HAMA scores （r = 0.458， P＜0.01）， whereas after PAS25 intervention， the MEP amplitude ratio was negatively correlated with HAMA scores （r = -0.562， P＜0.01）. ConclusionHorticultural therapy combined with intradermal needling treatment， under transcranial magnetic stimulation and basic psychological therapy， demonstrates significant clinical effectiveness in patients with GAD of liver depression transforming into fire syndrome. Its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of hyperactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis and the reduction of cortical excitability.

Objective To investigate the relationship between serum amyloid A(SAA),interleukin-10(IL-10),interleukin-21(IL-21)levels and the first acute exacerbation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmo-nary disease(COPD)with pneumothorax.Methods A total of 102 patients with stable COPD complicated with pneumothorax admitted to the hospital from January 2020 to January 2023 were selected.They were treated with closed thoracic drainage,anti-inflammatory,antiasthmatic,expectorant,and high-flow nasal hu-midification oxygen therapy(HFNC).The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they had the first acute exacerbation within 1 year after treatment,the first acute exacerbation group(32 patients had the first acute exacerbation within 1 year of follow-up)and the non-first acute exacerbation group(70 pa-tients had no first acute exacerbation within 1 year of follow-up).Serum SAA,IL-10 and IL-21 levels and blood gas indexes were compared between the two groups after treatment.Multivariate Logistic regression a-nalysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of the first acute exacerbation after HFNC treatment.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive value of serum SAA,IL-10 and IL-21 levels after treatment for the first acute exacerbation of COPD patients with pneumothorax.Results There were significant differences in hypoproteinemia,smoking,underlying diseases,forced vital ca-pacity(FVC),forced expiratory volume in one second(FEV1)as a percentage of predicted value(FEV1%),FEV1 to FVC ratio(FEV1/FVC),arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),arterial partial pressure of car-bon dioxide(PaCO2),SAA,IL-10,IL-21 between the two groups(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypoproteinemia,smoking,underlying diseases,PaCO2,SAA,IL-10 and IL-21 were the risk factors for the first acute exacerbation after HFNC treatment(P<0.05).FVC,FEV1%,FEV1/FVC and PaO2 were protective factors for the first acute exacerbation after treatment(P<0.05).ROC curve results showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of SAA,IL-10 and IL-21 levels after treatment to predict the first acute exacerbation of COPD patients with pneumothorax was 0.755,0.726 and 0.674,respectively.When the cut-off values of SAA,IL-10 and IL-21 were 171.06 g/L,26.46 pg/mL and 244.79 pg/mL,the sen-sitivity was 76.51%,60.84%and 56.90%,and the specificity was 66.73%,74.49%and 74.52%,respective-ly.The AUC of combined prediction was 0.860,the sensitivity was 80.44%,and the specificity was 76.51%.Conclusion The serum SAA,IL-10 and IL-21 levels in COPD patients with pneumothorax have certain pre-dictive value for the first acute exacerbation of COPD patients with pneumothorax.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of transnasal high-flow humidified oxygen therapy in preventing hypoxemia in pediatric patients undergoing gastroscopy.Methods:In this prospective randomized controlled study, 226 pediatric patients, aged 6-12 yr, with a body mass index of 18-25 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, undergoing painless gastroscopy at Women and Children′s Hospital of Qingdao University from February 2022 to August 2023, were selected and divided into 2 groups ( n=113 each) using the simple randomization method: normal nasal cannula oxygen therapy group (group N) and transnasal high-flow humidified oxygen therapy group (group H). Anesthesia was induced with intravenous nalbuphine hydrochloride 0.1 mg/kg and propofol 2 mg/kg, and gastroscopy was performed when the Modified Observer′s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation score reached 1. During the operation, group N inhaled oxygen 5 L/min through the nasal catheter; group H inhaled a mixture of air and oxygen through a transnasal high-flow humidified oxygen therapy system at 2 L·kg -1·min -1 (not exceeding 40 L/min), with FiO 2 of 40%. Primary outcomes were the occurrence of hypoxemia and the lowest SpO 2. Secondary outcomes included the requirement for airway interventions (jaw thrust, mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation) and incidence of adverse events (nasal dryness, laryngospasm, apnea, upper airway obstruction, abdominal distension, nausea and vomiting) and endoscopist′s satisfaction with the procedure. Results:A total of 214 patients finally completed the trial, with 106 in group N and 108 in group H. Compared with group N, the incidence of hypoxemia was significantly decreased (17.9% [19/106] versus 2.8% [3/108]), the lowest SpO 2 was increased, the requirement for jaw lifting interventions was reduced, the incidence of nasal dryness was decreased, and the degree of endoscopist′s satisfaction with the procedure was increased ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the other outcomes in group H ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Transnasal high-flow humidified oxygen therapy can effectively prevent hypoxemia and raise the safety of pediatric patients during the gastroscopy.

Objective To explore the life satisfaction and related factors of general and assistant general standardized training physicians(hereinafter referred to as training physicians),and analyze the effecting path of resilience between stress perception and life satisfaction.Methods From July to October 2024,a self-designed general demographic survey,Satisfaction With Life Scale(SWLS),Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale(CD-RISC),and Chinese Perceived Stress Scale(CPSS)were used to survey 251 training physicians from two hospitals in Xi'an to understand their life satisfaction,stress perception,and resilience in the past month.Model 4 in the Process V3.3 plugin of SPSS 25.0 software and Bootstrap method were used to analyze the effecting path of resilience between stress perception and life satisfaction among the training physicians.Results A total of 251 questionnaires were distributed,and 236 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective response rate of 94.02％.The stress perception of 236 training physicians(24.12±7.02)was negatively correlated with life satisfaction(23.24±7.45)(r=-0.556,P＜0.01),but negatively correlated with resilience(54.88±11.37)(r=-0 658,P＜0.01).Resilience partially mediated the relationship between stress perception and life satisfaction,with a mediation effect value of-0.320 6,accounting for 54.39％ of the total effect.Conclusion Stress perception has an independent negative impact on the life satisfaction of training physicians,and indirectly affects life satisfaction through resilience.Improving life satisfaction can be achieved by reducing stress perception or enhancing resilience.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effect and potential mechanism of imperatorin(IMP)on doxorubicin(DOX)resistance in breast cancer.METHODS The effects of maximum non-toxic concentration(100 μg/mL)of IMP combined with different concentrations of DOX(12.5,25,50,75,100 μg/mL)on the proliferation of MCF-7/DOX cells were determined by MTT method.MCF-7/DOX cells were divided into blank control group(1‰ dimethyl sulfoxide),DOX group(50 μg/mL),IMP+DOX group(100 μg/mL IMP+50 μg/mL DOX)and IMP group(100 μg/mL).mRNA and protein expressions of multidrug resistance protein 1(MDR1)and multidrug resistance-associated protein l in each group were measured.The relevant pathways and targets involved in the improvement of DOX resistance in breast cancer cells by IMP were screened and validated by using transcriptome sequencing technology,along with gene ontology(GO)enrichment analyses and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analyses.RESULTS Compared with DOX alone,the combination of IMP and DOX reduced the half inhibitory concentration of DOX on MCF-7/DOX cells from 81.965 μg/mL to 43.170 μg/mL,the reverse fold was 1.90,and the mRNA expression of MDR1 was significantly down-regulated(P＜0.05).The results of GO enrichment analyses and KEGG pathway enrichment analyses indicated that the reversal of DOX resistance in breast cancer by IMP was mainly associated with the regulation of biological processes such as detoxification,multiple biological processes,and cell killing.The main pathway involved was the p53 signaling pathway,and the key targets mainly included constitutively photomorphogenic protein 1(COP1),cyclin E1(CCNE1),growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 45A(GADD45A)and GADD45B.The results of the verification experiments showed that compared with DOX group,there was a trend of up-regulation of COP1 mRNA,and significant down-regulation of CCNE1,GADD45A,and GADD45B mRNA expression in IMP+DOX group(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS The effect of IMP in ameliorating DOX resistance in breast cancer is related to its regulation of COP1,CCNE1,GADD45A and GADD45B targets in the p53 signaling pathway.
