ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of Xiaoqinglongtang（XQL） in the prevention and treatment of high altitude pulmonary edema（HAPE） by network pharmacology， molecular docking， and molecular dynamics simulation， and to verify it by in vivo animal model. MethodsIn this study， the active ingredients， drug targets， and HAPE-related targets of XQL were collected from BATMAN-TCM， GeneCards， and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man（OMIM） databases. The protein-protein interaction（PPI） network was constructed by using intersection targets， and the core targets were screened and visualized by Cytoscape software. Functional annotation and pathway analysis of the intersection targets were performed by gene ontology （GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes （KEGG） functional enrichment. AutoDock and GROMACS were used to evaluate the binding ability of active ingredients to key targets. In the experimental verification part， a mouse model of HAPE induced by hypobaric hypoxia（simulated 6 000 m altitude for 48 h） was established. The control effect was evaluated by hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， lung tissue water content， lung tissue wet/dry weight ratio， real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） detection of gene expression levels， and immunohistochemistry and Western blot detection of key protein expression. ResultsA total of 355 active ingredients of XQL， 2 142 targets， 716 HAPE-related targets， and 236 intersection targets were obtained by network pharmacology analysis. Key core targets such as interleukin （IL）-6， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， protein kinase B1 （Akt1）， and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α （HIF-1α） were screened. The results of GO analysis of common targets involved 738 biological processes（BP）， 72 cellular components（CC）， and 135 molecular functions（MF）. KEGG analysis effectively enriched two important signaling pathways： Phosphoinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/Akt and HIF-1α. The results of molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation showed that the screened active ingredients had good binding ability with key targets. In the HAPE model induced by hypobaric hypoxia（6 000 m， 48 h）， the lung tissue water content， lung tissue wet/dry weight ratio， and pathological injury score of the model group were significantly increased（P<0.01）， accompanied by exudation of a large number of red blood cells in the alveoli and alveolar interstitium， a significant increase in inflammatory cells， a significant widening of the alveolar septum， and mutual fusion between the alveoli. The XQL administration group significantly improved the above pathological changes（P<0.01）. The results of inflammatory factor expression showed that compared with the control group， the model group showed significantly up-regulated expression of TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β in the lung tissue（P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the XQL administration group had significantly decreased expression of inflammatory factors（P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of key pathway related genes PI3K， Akt1， mammalian target of rapamycin（mTOR）， and HIF-1α was significantly increased in the model group（P<0.01）， and decreased in a concentration-dependent manner after XQL administration（P<0.05， P<0.01）. The expression levels of key proteins PI3K， phosphorylation（p）-PI3K， Akt1， p-Akt1， mTOR， p-mTOR， and HIF-1α in lung tissue were analyzed by immunohistochemistry and Western blot. Compared with the blank group， the model group showed increased expression of key proteins（P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the XQL administration group exhibited decreased expression of key proteins（P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionXQL can reduce lung inflammation and improve HAPE. The mechanism may be related to the regulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR and HIF-1α pathways. This study provides a new idea and a theoretical basis for the treatment of HAPE with XQL.

ObjectiveTo observe the activation patterns and functional connectivity in the prefrontal cortex of patients with post-stroke anxiety (PSA) using functional near-infrared spectroscopy, in order to explore the underlying neural mechanism. MethodsFrom December, 2024 to September, 2025, 120 stroke patients were selected in Changzhou De'an Hospital. They were divided into PSA group (n = 60) and non-PSA group (n = 60) according to the score of Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). All patients wore an 18-channel fNIRS acquisition cap for detection. The differences in resting-state functional connectivity between the frontopolar cortex (FPC) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) were examined in both groups, as well as task-related activation in these brain regions. ResultsResting-state functional connectivity analysis revealed no statistically significant difference in network connectivity between two groups in the FPC and DLPFC regions (|t| < 1.301, P > 0.05). Task-related activation results revealed significantly reduced activation in the contralateral FPC of PSA group compared to the non-PSA group (Z = -2.063, P < 0.05). Activation levels in this region showed a negative correlation with the scores of HAMA (ρ = -0.201, P = 0.028). ConclusionActivation decreased in the contralateral frontal pole during the task state for patients with PSA, and the activation levels negatively correlates with anxiety severities.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province and provide an optimized pathway for the construction of a “strong, rich, beautiful, and high-quality” new Jiangsu. MethodsA total of 806 policy documents, 658 public information reports, and 148 research literatures related to public health governance capacity in Jiangsu Province from January 1995 to December 2023 were collected. The status of current public health goverance was assessed based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems, and the strengths and the weaknesses of the system were identified. ResultsThe public health governance capability of Jiangsu Province was scored at 738.3 points, ranking 3rd nationally. Maternal health care and emergency response capacities achieved leading positions nationwide, both ranking 2nd. Jiangsu had exhibited a standardized guidance in the strategic level, a well-established management mechanism, an extensive coverage in information collection, and a scientifically established health targets setting. However, bottlenecks remained, including an unclear division of responsibilities across organizational departments, an insufficient public-health workforce, the absence of a stable growth mechanism for government funding investment, and difficulties in promptly identifying public needs. ConclusionJiangsu’s public-health system demonstrates leading nationally, yet several components remain underdeveloped. Future efforts should consolidate advantages while addressing weaknesses, further diversify content and forms, establish a stable funding increase mechanism, and clarify departmental functions, thereby providing solid health support for realizing the developmental goals of a “strong, rich, beautiful and high-quality” new Jiangsu.

ObjectiveTo systematically assess the public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province, to conduct an in-depth analysis of its strengths and weaknesses, so as to provide scientific basis and strategic recommendations for further enhancement. MethodsA systematic collection of policy documents, public information reports, and research literature related to public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province from 2002 to 2023 was conducted (encompassing a total of 1 263 policy documents, 138 pieces of information reports and 631 research articles). Based on the evaluation criteria suitable for public health systems previously developed by the research team, the basic status and magnitude of change in public health governance capacity in Zhejiang Province was evaluated. Additionally, normative gap analyses were employed to identify the strengths and weaknesses. ResultsZhejiang Province ranked 4th nationwide in terms of public health governance capacity with a score of 733.4 points (1 000.0-point maximum). The province has effectively implemented the principle of health first (scoring 698.5 points in the assessment of health-first strategy implementation) and attached sufficient importance to health-related goals (scoring 658.2 points in the scientific rationality of goal setting). However, the implementation of inter-departmental coordination and incentive mechanisms only scored 178.7 points, the feasibility of management and monitoring mechanisms scored even lower at only 144.0 points, and the coverage of incentive mechanisms scored 286.0 points. ConclusionZhejiang Province has effectively implemented its health first strategy and attached great importance to health targets, but still needs to strengthen cross-departmental coordination mechanisms and health-oriented incentives.

Drug repurposing offers a promising alternative to traditional drug development and significantly re-duces costs and timelines by identifying new therapeutic uses for existing drugs.However,the current approaches often rely on limited data sources and simplistic hypotheses,which restrict their ability to capture the multi-faceted nature of biological systems.This study introduces adaptive multi-view learning(AMVL),a novel methodology that integrates chemical-induced transcriptional profiles(CTPs),knowledge graph(KG)embeddings,and large language model(LLM)representations,to enhance drug repurposing predictions.AMVL incorporates an innovative similarity matrix expansion strategy and leverages multi-view learning(MVL),matrix factorization,and ensemble optimization techniques to integrate heterogeneous multi-source data.Comprehensive evaluations on benchmark datasets(Fdata-set,Cdataset,and Ydataset)and the large-scale iDrug dataset demonstrate that AMVL outperforms state-of-the-art(SOTA)methods,achieving superior accuracy in predicting drug-disease associations across multiple metrics.Literature-based validation further confirmed the model's predictive capabilities,with seven out of the top ten predictions corroborated by post-2011 evidence.To promote transparency and reproducibility,all data and codes used in this study were open-sourced,providing resources for pro-cessing CTPs,KG,and LLM-based similarity calculations,along with the complete AMVL algorithm and benchmarking procedures.By unifying diverse data modalities,AMVL offers a robust and scalable so-lution for accelerating drug discovery,fostering advancements in translational medicine and integrating multi-omics data.We aim to inspire further innovations in multi-source data integration and support the development of more precise and efficient strategies for advancing drug discovery and translational medicine.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic basis for a woman with oocyte maturation disorder during assisted reproductive treatment (ART), and to verify the source of the variant and its impact on oocyte maturation through family verification. METHODS: A 35-year-old infertile woman presented at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital on 20 October 2023 for a 10-year history of infertility despite unprotected intercourse was selected as study subject. Peripheral venous blood sample was collected from the proband. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to detect the potential variant. Candidate variants were validated within her family by Sanger sequencing, and their deleteriousness was assessed with comprehensive bioinformatic analyses to elucidate their origin and impact on oocyte maturation. According to the Standards and Guidelines for the Interpretation of Sequence Variants (hereinafter referred to as ACMG Guidelines) formulated by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG), the pathogenicity of the candidate variant was rated. This study was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Gansu Provincial Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital (Ethics No.: 2023GSFYLS78). RESULTS: The proband underwent three controlled ovarian-stimulation cycles as part of assisted reproductive technology, yielding a total of 29 oocytes, among which only three were mature, whilst the remainders exhibited maturation arrest. Targeted sequencing of peripheral-blood DNA revealed a heterozygous c.728C>T (p.P243L) missense variant of the TUBB8 gene. While the same variant was detected in the proband's father. Based on the ACMG guidelines, the variant was classified to be likely pathogenic (PS4_Supporting+PM2_Supporting+PP2+PP3+PP4). CONCLUSION The heterozygous c.728C>T (p.P243L) missense variant of the TUBB8 gene probably underlay the oocyte maturation disorder in the proband, which may be either autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive. For probands with oocyte maturation disorders caused by the heterozygous c.728C>T variant of the TUBB8 gene, oocyte donation may be considered.
