Polygonatum sibiricum， as a traditional Chinese medicine with both medicinal and edible properties， has attracted considerable attention due to its functions of nourishing Yin and moistening the lungs， tonifying the spleen and benefiting Qi， and nourishing the kidneys and filling essence. Recent studies have demonstrated that Polygonatum sibiricum plays a significant role in regulating the immune system， effectively enhancing and improving the morphology and function of immune organs， stimulating the proliferation and activation of immune cells， and regulating the secretion and release of immune factors， thereby enhancing the immune function of the body and improving various immune-related diseases. Although a large number of studies have explored the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of P. sibiricum， there has been no systematic review and summary of its immune regulatory activity and mechanisms. Therefore， this article comprehensively reviews the research achievements of P. sibiricum polysaccharides and saponins in the field of immune regulation in recent years， and further sorts out the immune regulatory mechanisms of P. sibiricum in multiple aspects： including increasing the organ index of the spleen and thymus， increasing the number and activity of tumor-suppressive bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells， improving intestinal flora imbalance， regulating the quantity and proportion of T lymphocyte subsets， increasing the level of immunoglobulin， promoting the proliferation of macrophages， enhancing the activity of natural killer cells， increasing the number of white blood cells， and promoting the maturation of dendritic cells， providing a solid theoretical basis and scientific evidence for the research and application of P. sibiricum， and promoting its development and application in traditional Chinese medicine immune enhancers and various functional products.

Objective To compare the efficacy of blood letting under pain point touch and ultrasound-guided puncture de-compression in the treatment of acute supraspinatus muscle calcifying tendinitis.Methods From January 2020 to January 2023,45 patients with acute supraspinatus muscle calcifying tendinitis were selected and divided into treatment group and control group.In the treatment group,a total of 22 patients were treated with ultrasound-guided puncture decompression,in-cluding 16 females and 6 males,aged from 20 to 64 years old(39.31±5.80)years old,11 on the left shoulder and 11 on the right shoulder.In the control group,there were 23 cases,including 15 females and 8 males,aged from 19 to 66 years old(40.67±6.13)years old,12 on the left shoulder and 13 on the right shoulder.The treatment was treated with pain point touch bloodletting therapy.The visual analog scale(VAS)pain score,University of California,Los Angeles(UCLA)shoulder system score and shoulder Constant-Murley score were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect before treatment,1 weeks,1 month and 3 months after treatment,respectively.Results One patient in the control group gave up follow-up for personal reasons after 1 week of treatment,and the other 44 patients completed all follow-up.Six months after treatment,there were no recurrence cases in both groups.After statistical analysis,VAS pain score,UCLA score and Constant-Murley score of the treatment group and the control group were significantly different from those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the improvement was more obvious in the treatment group.There was no statistical significance between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Bloodletting under pain point touch and ultrasound-guided puncture decompression are effective in the treatment of acute calcific supraspinatus tendinitis,with simple operation and low cost,which can effectively reduce local pain and effectively improve shoulder joint function.Primary hospitals can selectively operate treatment according to their own conditions.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacies of different surgical methods for elderly patients with lumbar tuberculosis.Methods The clinical data of 289 elderly patients with lumbar tuberculosis admitted to Hebei Chest Hospital from August 2018 to August 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.According to surgical methods,the patients were divided into the posterior group(109 cases),the anterior and posterior combination group(81 cases),and the anterior group(99 cases).The time of bone graft and fusion,operation time,hospital stay,intraoperative blood loss,and complications of the three groups were collected and compared among the three groups.The spine Cobb angle was regularly determined,the correction degree was calculated;the levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR),white blood cell count(WBC),and C-reactive protein(CRP)were collected and compared among the three groups;and the Frankel grading and visual analogue scale(VAS)scores of the three groups were compared.Results After a 2-year follow-up,there was no significant difference in the time of bone graft and fusion among the three groups(P>0.05),the anterior group had the shortest operation time,the posterior group had the shortest hospital stay,and the lowest intraoperative blood loss and incidence of complications,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).The correction degree of the anterior and posterior combination group was better than that of the posterior group and the anterior group(P<0.05),and the Cobb angles after operation and at the last follow-up in the posterior group was better(P<0.05).The anterior and posterior combination group had better improvement effect on CRP and ESR at the last follow-up(P<0.05),the WBC level of the posterior group was lower(P<0.05).The proportions of patients in grade E of Frankel grading at the last follow-up in the three groups were higher than those after surgery(P<0.05);compared with the preoperative period,the VAS scores at the last follow-up of the three groups decreased(P<0.05),and the VAS score of the posterior group was lower(P<0.05).Conclusion The effects of anterior surgery,posterior surgery and anterior and posterior combined surgery in the treatment of elderly lumbar tuberculosis are good,and the approach method can be scientifically and reasonably formulated according to patients' physical condition to improve the clinical treatment effect.

Objective To investigate the effect of intravenous infusion of low-dose remifentanil on obese scarred uterine puerperae undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia.Methods A total of 87 obese scarred uterine puerperae undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia were selected as the study subjects,and they were randomly divided into the conventional group(n=43)and the remifentanil group(n=44).From the beginning of skin incision,puerperae of the conventional group and the remifentanil group were intravenously injected with normal saline and low-dose remifentanil respectively until the end of the operation.The vital signs,pain and comfort scores,intraoperative complications of puerperae,and status of newborns were compared between the two groups at different points during the operation.Results During fetal extraction and peritoneal exploration,the heart rate,mean arterial pressure and pain scores of puerperae in the remifentanil group were lower than those in the conventional group,and the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05);the intraoperative comfort score of puerperae in the remifentanil group was higher than that in the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The incidence of nausea and vomiting of puerperae in the remifentanil group was lower than that in the conventional group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the Apgar score at 1 minute and 5 minutes after delivery,requiring initial resuscitation or pH value of umbilical vein blood between newborns delivered by puerperae of the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Intravenous infusion of 0.05 μg·kg-1·min-1 low-dose remifentanil not only significantly reduces intraoperative pain and improves comfort of obese scarred uterine puerperae undergoing cesarean section under epidural anesthesia,but also helps to reduce the incidence of adverse reactions and ensure maternal and infant safety.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of anxiety state in patients with primary insomnia(PI). Methods:Randomized controlled trials of acupuncture treatment for PI patients with an anxiety state in Web of Science,Cochrane Library,PubMed,Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform(Wanfang),and Chongqing VIP Database(VIP)were retrieved by computer.The retrieval time was from each database's inception to December 30,2022.Data extraction and evaluation were performed for the included studies.The Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool was used to assess the risk of bias in each article.Meta-analysis of valid data was performed using the RevMan 5.4 software.If the outcome indicator was a categorical variable,relative risk(RR)was used as the effect size.If it was a continuous variable,mean difference(MD)was used to calculate the effect size.Each effect size was expressed as a 95%confidence interval(CI).P<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistically significant difference. Results:A total of 18 studies were included,comprising a total of 1198 patients.The findings of the meta-analysis showed that electroacupuncture had a significant advantage in improving the Hamilton anxiety scale(HAMA)score than benzodiazepines[MD=-1.61,95%CI(-2.17,-1.06),P<0.001].Acupuncture was superior to sham acupuncture[MD=-14.90,95%CI(-20.39,-9.41),P<0.001]and benzodiazepines[MD=-3.39,95%CI(-4.67,-2.12),P<0.001]in reducing the self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)score.Acupuncture was superior to sham acupuncture in reducing the insomnia severity index(ISI)score[MD=-5.61,95%CI(-6.63,-4.89),P<0.001].Acupuncture was superior to benzodiazepines[MD=0.84,95%CI(-1.42,-0.25),P=0.005]and sham acupuncture[MD=-8.39,95%CI(-8.39,-7.86),P<0.001]in improving the Pittsburgh sleep quality index(PSQI)score.Acupuncture had a better effective rate than benzodiazepines[RR=1.16,95%CI(1.08,1.25),P<0.001]and sham acupuncture[RR=8.94,95%CI(4.63,17.25),P<0.001]in treating PI. Conclusion:Acupuncture or electroacupuncture has certain therapeutic advantages over benzodiazepines and sham acupuncture in the treatment of anxiety in PI patients.However,more high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed for further verification.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. At present, levodopa and other drugs are mainly used for dopamine supplementation therapy. However, the absorption of levodopa in the gastrointestinal tract is unstable and its half-life is short, and long-term use of levodopa will lead to the end-of-dose deterioration, dyskinesia, the "ON-OFF" phenomenon and other symptoms. Therefore, new preparations need to be developed to improve drug efficacy, reduce side effects or improve compliance of patients. Based on the above clinical needs, this review briefly introduced the preparation modification strategies for the treatment of PD through case analysis, in order to provide references for the research and development of related preparations.

Osteoarthritis （OA） is a common degenerative joint disease with a rising incidence rate year by year. Treatment often relies on analgesics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs （NSAIDs）， which can lead to gastrointestinal damage with long-term use and the recurrence of symptoms. Chinese medicine has a long history of preventing and treating OA， with widespread application and fewer side effects. It offers unique advantages such as a broad treatment scope， multiple targets， and pathways. The effective components of Chinese medicine can reduce the content of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， relieve oxidative stress （OS） damage， and increase the antioxidant capacity of the body by interfering with the expression of biomarkers of OS response such as malondialdehyde （MDA） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）. Through the modulation of signaling pathways such as nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）， nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK）， NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， and osteoprotegerin （OPG）， they downregulated the expression of inflammatory factors such as interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， thereby effectively relieving local joint inflammation， protecting chondrocytes and bone tissue， inhibiting chondrocyte apoptosis， and further alleviating the progression of OA. Currently， there are still certain limitations in the medical research status and development trends of OA， necessitating the continued advancement of traditional Chinese medicine. This paper reviewed the literature on the regulation of OS response by effective components of Chinese medicine for the prevention and treatment of OA， providing new directions and ideas for future research.

A new method for simultaneous determination of 23 kinds of per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances(PFASs)(13 kinds of perfluoro carboxylic acids,4 kinds of perfluoro sulfonic acids,and 6 kinds of new substitutes)in plant leaf tissue by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UHPLC-MS/MS)using automatic online solid phase extraction(SPE)to remove the matrix interference components in plant crude extracts was developed.The plant leaf samples were extracted twice with 1%formic acid-methanol solution,then evaporated to dry,redissolved with 70%methanol solution,and directly injected for analysis.After 23 kinds of target PFASs were purified automatically by online SPE with a WAX column,the six-way valve was switched to rinse PFASs onto an alkaline mobile phase system-compatible C18 analytical column.Then,the 23 kinds of target PFASs were separated within 16 min by gradient elution using a binary mobile phase system of methanol/water(Containing 0.4%ammonium hydroxide).Tandem mass spectrometry was performed in multiple reaction monitoring(MRM)mode for online detection of various PFASs,and quantification was carried out by internal standard method.The results of the method validation showed that satisfactory average recoveries of 23 kinds of PFASs in plant leaf samples(64.2%-125.5%),precision(relative standard deviations(RSDs)of 0.7%-12.8%),linearity(R2＞0.990),and sensitivity(the detection limits(S/N=3)were in the range of 0.02-0.50 μg/kg)were achieved.Finally,this method was used to detect PFASs in the marine green tide algae(Enteromorpha prolifera)and several tree leaves,and a total of 6 kinds of PFASs were detected,in which PFBA was the main contaminant.Compared with the reported offline SPE methods,the proposed online SPE technique significantly simplified the sample pretreatment process and provided an automatic,simple,and environment-friendly method for the routine monitoring of legacy and emerging PFASs in plant tissues.
