Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） is often accompanied by tic disorder. The core pathogenesis is considered to be ministerial fire scorching yin and internal stirring of deficient wind， which leads to disharmony between the body and spirit， resulting in clinical manifestations. The treatment principles emphasize nourishing yin fluids， calming ministerial fire， and extinguishing endogenous wind （内风）. The method of nourishing yin fluids is applied throughout the entire treatment process， commonly using ingredients such as Shudihuang （Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata）， Shanzhuyu （Corni Fructus）， Gouqizi （Lycii Fructus）， Wuweizi （Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus）， and Tusizi （Cuscutae Semen）. These are combined with approaches to harmonize the zang-fu organs， primarily including extinguishing liver wind， clearing heart fire， nourishing kidney water， and strengthening spleen earth， thereby stabilizing ministerial fire and extinguishing endogenous wind. Additionally， emotional regulation and smoothing emotional constraint are essential to improve clinical symptoms in children with ADHD comorbid with tic disorder.

OBJECTIVE To establish a method for simultaneous determination of venetoclax， busulfan and voriconazole in plasma of patients with acute myeloid leukemia （AML）， and apply it clinically. METHODS Plasma samples were subjected to protein precipitation using acetonitrile and subsequently analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS） using venetoclax-D 8 ， busulfan-D 8 and posaconazole as internal standards. The separation was performed on a Phenomenex Kinetex ® C 18 column with a mobile phase composed of 0.1% formic acid solution （2 mmol/L ammonium acetate）-0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile （gradient elution） at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The column temperature was set at 40 ℃， the sample size was 5 μL， and the total run time was 3.10 min. An electrospray ionization source was employed， and positive ion scanning was conducted using multiple reaction monitoring mode. The ion pairs used for quantitative analysis included m/z 868.4→636.3 （venetoclax）， m/z 264.1→151.1 （busulfan）， and m/z 350.1→224.0 （voriconazole）. The above LC-MS/MS method was adopted to determine plasma concentrations of venetoclax and voriconazole in 10 AML patients， as well as plasma concentration of busulfan in 5 patients undergoing conditioning treatment for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. RESULTS The linear ranges of venetoclax， busulfan and voriconazole were 50-10 000， 15-3 000 and 50-10 000 ng/mL， respectively （ R 2 ≥0.999 0）， with lower limits of quantification of 50， 15 and 50 ng/mL， respectively. The RSDs of intra-day and inter-day precision tests for all three analytes were all less than 10%， with accuracy （relative errors） ranging from －10.00% to 12.96%. The average extraction recovery ranged from 92.54% to 100.95%， and the average matrix effect was 89.98%-101.49%. Dilution reliability covered all dilution factors used in the test samples， and the absolute values of relative errors in stability tests were all≤16.25%. The plasma concentrations of venetoclax， busulfan and voriconazole in enrolled patients were 496.20-4 250.45， 233.48-2 002.28 and 475.51-5 710.18 ng/mL， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The LC-MS/MS method established in this study is rapid， sensitive and easy to operate， and can be used for the therapeutic drug monitoring of venetoclax， busulfan and voriconazole.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis （MASH） is a complex liver disease characterized by abnormal fat accumulation in the liver， accompanied by inflammation and hepatocyte injury， and it can gradually progress to liver fibrosis， liver cirrhosis， and even hepatocellular carcinoma. MASH has a complex pathogenesis involving multiple links such as insulin resistance， de novo lipogenesis （DNL）， oxidative stress， and mitochondrial dysfunction. In recent years， mitochondrial pyruvate carrier （MPC） has attracted wide attention as a key molecular target for regulating lipid metabolism. This article systematically reviews the mechanism of action of MPC in MASH， with a focus on how inhibiting MPC expression regulates lipid synthesis and metabolism by reducing DNL production and modulating signaling pathways such as AMPK-ACC， thereby improving liver inflammation. In addition， this article discusses the potential application prospects of MPC inhibitors in MASH treatment， in order to provide new ideas for future clinical research on MASH management.

From the perspective of dynamic and static concept in traditional Chinese medicine， we explored the pathogenesis and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD）. ADHD is categorized into "dynamic type" and "static type" based on symptom presentation. It is believed that the core disease mechanism of static type ADHD refers to insufficiency of essence and blood， as well as the loss of nourishment of brain marrow and heart blood； the dominant mechanism of dynamic type ADHD refers to excessive use of the mind and improper diet lead to the excessive movement of dragon-thunder fire （symbolizing hyperactivity）. The treatment should first differentiate between static type and dynamic type. The treatment for static type focuses on the spleen and kidney， and involves replenishing the acquired constitution to nourish the congenital， supporting the heart and spirit， and enriching the brain and marrow， so as to ensure sufficient qi and blood， abundant essence and strong spirit， thereby improving symptoms of attention deficits. The dynamic type should be treated by static method， and involves using calming medicinals to supplement， transform， and subdue to reach the aims of enriching yin and subduing yang， warming and supplementing the spleen and kidney， which helps restore the dragon-thunder fire to its balance. Based on the physiological characteristics of children， a dynamic-static differentiation and treatment system is established to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of ADHD.

Objective To study the related molecular mechanism of andrographolide(AGP)in inhibi-ting the proliferation of human colon cancer LoVo cells and promoting their apoptosis.Methods The LoVo cells were set up as the control group and experimental group.The cells were treated with different concentra-tions of AGP(0,20,40,80 μmol/L).The cell viability was detected by CCK-8,the cellular cycle and apoptosis were detected by flow cytometery,and Western blot was used to detect protein level of PCNA,Bad and Bcl-2,and the effect of AGP of BMP9 overexpression or silencing AGP on PCNA,Bad and Bcl-2 protein levels;West-ern blot was used to analyze the effect of AGP on PTEN,Akt1/2/3 and p-Akt1/2/3 levels.Results AGP could inhibit the proliferation of LoVo cells,promoted their apoptosis and increased the BMP9 expression lev-el.The BMP9 overexpression could enhance the effect of AGP for inhibiting the proliferation and promoting the apoptosis,silencing BMP9 could weaken the above effects of AGP(P＜0.05).AGP decreased the expres-sion level of p-Akt1/2/3 in the LoVo cells and increased the PTEN expression level(P＜0.05).BMP9 over-expression enhanced AGP and decreased the p-Akt 1/2/3 expression level in the LoVo cells,and silencing BMP9 could weaken the above effects of AGP(P＜0.05).Conclusion AGP could inhibit the proliferation of human colon cancer LoVo cells,its mechanism may be related with up-regulating BMP9 expression,thus in-crease PTEN protein level and inhibit P13K/Akt signal.

Objective To explore the application value of preoperative nebulized inhalation of esket-amine in pediatric snoring surgery under general anesthesia.Methods A total of 145 children who were sched-uled to undergo elective pediatric snoring surgery in this hospital from January to December 2023 were select-ed and divided into the control group,the NC group and the ES group by random number table method,with 48,49,48 cases in each group,respectively.The control group was given routine preoperative preparations,the NC group was nebulized and inhaled normal saline before the operation,and the ES group was nebulized and inhaled esketamine solution before the operation.The awakening time,extubation time,post-anesthesia care u-nit(PACU)stay time,direct care time,choking cough score after awakening,visual analogue scale(VAS)for pain,restlessness score,incidence of restlessness and occurrence of adverse reactions were compared among the three groups of children.Results Compared with the control group and the NC group,the recovery time,ex-tubation time,PACU stay time,direct care time,choking cough score after awaking,VAS,restlessness score and the incidence of restlessness in the ES group were significantly decreased(P＜0.05).There was no statis-tically significant difference in the above indicators between the NC group and the control group(P＞0.05).No adverse reactions occurred in any of the three groups of children during the recovery period from general anesthesia.Conclusion Preoperative nebulized inhalation of esketamine can effectively accelerate the recovery and extubation time of children undergoing general anesthesia for snoring surgery,alleviate choking,pain and restlessness reactions,and reduce direct care time.

Objective To prepare glucose transporter 1(Glut1)-targeted doxorubicin(DOX)-loaded liposomes(doxorubicin/polyphyllin H-liposomes,DOX/ppH-LPs)using polyphyllin H(ppH)instead of cholesterol as the liposomal membrane material,and to investigate their in vitro synergistic anti-tumor activity against non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods DOX/ppH-LPs were prepared using thin-film hydration,and the formulation was optimized by single-factor investigation.The optimized DOX/ppH-LPs were characterized for morphology,particle size,polydispersity index(PDI),and zeta potential with transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and dynamic light scattering(DLS).Drug loading DL%was determined by high-performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).The storage stability was evaluated by observing in PBS at 4℃for 7 d,and the serum stability was observed in DMEM containing 10%fetal bovine serum(FBS)at 37℃for 48 h.In vitro drug release was studied in PBS at pH 7.4 and pH 5.0 values,respectively.Human NSCLC A549 cells were subjected as the model,MTT assay was performed to detect the proliferation inhibition by DOX/ppH-LPs at different concentrations(0.5,5.0,15.0 μg/mL)and the control group(ppH+DOX/LPs,a physical mixture of free ppH and DOX-loaded liposomes).Fluorescence microscopy was used to observe cellular uptake of DOX/ppH-LPs and DOX/LPs(containing 5 μg/mL DOX)at 15 min and 2 h.Live/dead cell staining was applied to assess apoptosis/necrosis induced by formulations(15 μg/mL DOX)after 48 h incubation.Transwell assay was conducted to evaluate inhibitory effect on cell migration and invasion,and the targeting property and in vitro synergistic anti-NSCLC activity of DOX/ppH-LPs were then comprehensively evaluated.Results The optimal formulation of DOX/ppH-LPs was determined as hydration temperature at 50℃,6 mg DOX,2 mg ppH,and 24 mg lecithin.The prepared DOX/ppH-LPs were in spherical shape,uniform distribution,and at an average particle size of 145.13±22.14 nm,a PDI of 0.15±0.05,a zeta potential of-23.92±1.73 mV,and a DL of 10.13±0.71%for DOX and(1.22±0.21)%for ppH.DOX/ppH-LPs maintained stable particle size,PDI,and exhibited significantly unchanged zeta potential after storage in PBS at 4℃for 7 d or incubation in DMEM containing 10%FBS at 37℃for 48 h,demonstrating excellent physical and serum stability.Both liposomes showed slow release at pH 7.4 value,while drug release was significantly accelerated at pH 5.0 value(P<0.05),indicating pH-sensitive release characteristics.MTT assay revealed that DOX/ppH-LPs exerted significantly stronger cytotoxicity against A549 cells than the ppH+DOX/LPs control group(P<0.05).Compared with ppH+DOX/LPs,DOX/ppH-LPs showed remarkably enhanced cellular uptake in A549 cells(P<0.05),with more DOX localized in the nucleus.Live/dead cell staining showed that at the same DOX concentration(15 μg/mL),the proportion of apoptotic/necrotic cells induced by DOX/ppH-LPs was significantly higher than that of the DOX/LPs control group.Transwell assay demonstrated that there were significantly less cells migrating and invading through the membrane in the DOX/ppH-LPs group than the ppH+DOX/LPs group.Conclusion Glut1-targeted doxorubicin-loaded liposomes(DOX/ppH-LPs)constructed by substituting cholesterol with ppH can target NSCLC cells,significantly enhance the in vitro synergistic anti-NSCLC activity of DOX and ppH.

Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head(SNOFH)is a prevalent challenging condition in orthopedics,characterized by a high disability rate and intricate pathophysiological mechanisms including diminished an-giogenesis and impaired osteogenic function.The concept of osteogenesis-angiogenesis coupling involves the interplay be-tween osteoblasts and angiogenesis.Restoring the blood supply to bone tissue,boosting bone cell activity,and facilitating bone regeneration are crucial for the recovery of SNOFH patients.Research has demonstrated the significant role of mi-croRNAs(miRNAs)in the coordination of osteogenesis and angiogenesis.MiRNAs have the ability to concurrently regu-late multiple target genes and signaling pathways associated with osteogenesis and angiogenesis,effectively stimulating the regeneration of bones and blood vessels.By considering the interaction of multiple miRNAs and their target genes,the de-velopment of a multi-target combination therapy approach could greatly enhance the treatment outcomes for SNOFH.Through a thorough investigation of miRNA interactions in the regulation of osteogenesis and angiogenesis,the progression of the disease can be elucidated,offering a fundamental basis for early diagnosis,precise treatment,and prognosis evalua-tion of SNOFH.This paper aims to uncover the pivotal nodes and regulatory connections in SNOFH by summarizing the in-volvement of miRNAs in the coupling of osteogenesis and angiogenesis.By identifying potential therapeutic targets and un-derstanding the coordinated function of miRNAs in osteogenesis and angiogenesis coupling,valuable insights can be gained for the personalized treatment of SNOFH.

Cancer immunotherapy is currently a very promising therapeutic strategy for treating tumors. However, its effectiveness is restricted by insufficient antigenicity and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME). Pyroptosis, a unique form of programmed cell death (PCD), causes cells to swell and rupture, releasing pro-inflammatory factors that can enhance immunogenicity and remodel the ITME. Nanomaterials, with their distinct advantages and different techniques, are increasingly popular, and nanomaterial-based delivery systems demonstrate significant potential to potentiate, enable, and augment pyroptosis. This review summarizes and discusses the emerging field of nanomaterials-induced pyroptosis, focusing on the mechanisms of nanomaterials-induced pyroptosis pathways and strategies to activate or enhance specific pyroptosis. Additionally, we provide perspectives on the development of this field, aiming to accelerate its further clinical transition.

ObjectiveTo explore the current situation of forensic ethics practice and education by designing a questionnaire on forensic ethics， with a view to exploring the path of forensic ethics education construction. MethodsA total of 667 valid questionnaires were collected using the online survey method， basically covering various regions across the country and all sub-specialties of forensic medicine. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the relevant data. ResultsMost practitioners had relevant ethical reflections in the process of forensic practice. 69.12% of the respondents indicated that they had studied the relevant rules， but approximately half stated that there were no corresponding ethical norms or standard operating manuals. The specific behaviors violating ethics in different units were diverse. 23.04% of the respondents reported that they had encountered unethical behaviors， but only 4.9% of them reported such violations. In terms of forensic ethics education， 87.75% of the respondents believed that there were issues with the current model of forensic ethics education. Meanwhile， the respondents showed a high degree of recognition for receiving forensic ethics education， with 84.15% of respondents expressing willingness to participate in relevant courses. More than half of respondents were willing to participate in forensic ethics education during undergraduate studies， new employee training， and regular post-employment training. ConclusionCurrently， there is a problem of ethical neglect in forensic work in China. Combining ethics courses with professional courses at the practitioner training stage and providing regular training at the practice stage are effective measures to popularize forensic ethics knowledge， enhance ethical awareness， and improve the quality of practice.
