This paper systematically reviews the current status of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori （Hp） infection， as well as recent progress in clinical and basic research both in China and internationally. It summarizes the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in Hp infection management， including improving Hp eradication rates， enhancing antibiotic sensitivity， reducing antimicrobial resistance， decreasing drug-related adverse effects， and ameliorating gastric mucosal lesions. These advantages are particularly evident in patients who are intolerant to bismuth-containing regimens， those with refractory Hp infection， and individuals with precancerous gastric lesions. An integrated， whole-process management approach and individualized， staged comprehensive treatment strategies combining TCM and western medicine are proposed for Hp infection. Future prevention and control of Hp infection should adopt an integrative Chinese-western medical strategy， emphasizing prevention， strengthening primary care， implementing proactive long-term monitoring， optimizing screening strategies， and advancing the development of novel technologies and mechanistic studies of Chinese herbal interventions. These efforts aim to provide a theoretical basis and practical pathways for the establishment and improvement of Hp infection prevention and control systems.

Childhood obesity has become a global public health issue. Current research indicates that early life obesogen exposure has emerged as a significant risk factor for childhood obesity. While obesogens have been confirmed to influence the development and progression of childhood obesity through mechanisms such as endocrine disruption and epigenetic programming, controversies remain regarding the establishment of causal relationships, assessment of combined exposures, and validation of transgenerational effects in humans. In recent years, novel approaches including multi-omics technologies, exposome-based analysis, and multigenerational cohort studies have integrated dynamic biomarker monitoring with analyses of social-environmental interactions, offering new perspectives and methodologies for constructing a systematic "exposure-mechanism-outcome" research framework. This article reviews literature from PubMed and Web of Science up to August 2025 on the association between early life obesogen exposure and childhood obesity, summarizing evidence on the health effects of early life obesogen exposure, major exposure pathways and internal exposure assessment, interactions and amplifying effects of social and environmental factors, as well as the biological mechanisms underlying obesogen action. It further examines current research frontiers and challenges, aiming to provide a theoretical foundation for early prevention and precision intervention of childhood obesity.

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.

This enriches clinical treatment options and provides a more personalized and scientific treatment approach for patients. This article aims to comprehensively summarize current academic research hot topics, review the rationale and evaluation measures of neoadjuvant therapy, discuss challenges in restaging methods after neoadjuvant therapy, and identify the advantages and disadvantages of various neoadjuvant therapeutic strategies.

With the continuous development of China's aging society and the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles, the incidence of cardiovascular disease in China has been increasing in recent years. Among them, atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia disease. In recent years, pulsed field ablation (PFA) has been continuously applied to AF treatment as a novel treatment. This paper first introduces the principle of PFA applied to AF treatment, and introduces the research progress of PFA in different directions, such as the comparison of different ablation methods, the study of physical parameters, the study of ablation area, the study of tissue specificity and clinical research. Then, the clinical prior research of PFA is discussed, including the use of simulation software to obtain the simulation effect of different parameters, the evaluation of ablation effect during animal research, and finally the current AF treatment. Various prior studies and clinical studies are summarized, and suggestions are made for the shortcomings found in the study of AF treatment and the future research direction is prospected.

Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

Depression is a psychiatric disorder whose main symptoms include low mood， loss of interest， anxiety， sleep disturbances， and changes in appetite. Orexin， a neuropeptide located in hypothalamic neurons， has a wide range of projections throughout the central nervous system and is involved in various behavioral modulations related to depression. This study systematically reviewed the effects of orexin and its receptor-related drugs on depression and found that orexin could exert complex regulatory effects on multiple brain regions by binding to related receptors， affecting emotions， sleep， anxiety， etc. The abnormal state of expression of plasma orexin in patients with depression was found. Exogenous orexin-A， selective orexin receptor 1 antagonists （SORA1s）， selective orexin receptor 2 antagonists （SORA2s）， and dual orexin receptor antagonists （DORAs） have demonstrated antidepressant-like effects in various animal models of depression. Among them， clinical trials involving exogenous orexin-A are relatively scarce. Drugs related to SORA1s and SORA2s， such as JNJ-61393215 and Setorexant， have made significant progress in the treatment of depression. DORAs， such as Suvorexant， Lemborexant， and Daridorexant， are primarily used to treat insomnia. Notably， Suvorexant has also shown potential in alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Jiegengtang is a basic formula for treating sore throat and cough. By means of bibliometrics， this study conducted a textual research and analysis on the key information such as formula origin， decocting methods， and clinical application of Jiegengtang. After the research， it can be seen that Jiegengtang is firstly contained in Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Disease， which is also known as Ganjietang， and it has been inherited and innovated by medical practitioners of various dynasties in later times.

OBJECTIVE To explore the clinical features， diagnosis， treatment and management measures of multiple immune- related adverse event （irAE） after toripalimab treatment， in order to provide reference for the clinical management of similar cases. METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on a post-operative bladder cancer patient who developed various irAEs after toripalimab treatment. The patient’s medical history， laboratory tests， imaging studies， treatment course and outcomes were detailed. The Naranjo scale was used to assess the relationship between the irAEs and toripalimab. RESULTS The patient developed irAEs after receiving toripalimab， such as immune-related myocarditis， liver dysfunction， and myasthenia. According to the Naranjo scale evaluation， it was assessed that these adverse events were related to the administration of toripalimab. After high- dose corticosteroid pulse therapy and immunoglobulin immunomodulation， the patient’s symptoms were effectively relieved， with a improved trend in various physiological indicators and significant improvement in the degree of system/organ damage. CONCLUSIONS Toripalimab may lead to multiple irAEs， including immune-related myocarditis， liver injury， and myasthenia. Early recognition， timely diagnosis， and appropriate treatment of irAE are crucial for improving patient’s prognosis.
