ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Yifei Zhuji formula (YFZJF) on epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) through regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway. MethodsThe Lewis lung carcinoma mouse model and human lung adenocarcinoma PC-9 cell model were used in this study. In the animal experiments, 60 C57BL/6 mice were randomized into a blank group and a Lewis lung carcinoma modeling group. The modeled mice were further randomized into model, low-, medium-, and high-dose (7.475, 14.95, 29.9 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) YFZJF, and cisplatin groups, with 10 mice in each group. Mice in YFZJF groups were administrated with YFZJF at different doses by gavage, and those in the cisplatin group received intraperitoneal injection of cisplatin at 6 mg·kg-1. Mice in the blank group and model group were administrated with equal volumes of normal saline by gavage every day. All the groups were treated for 14 consecutive days, and samples were collected for analysis after completion of treatment. Changes in body mass, tumor volume, and tumor mass were measured. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was performed to observe pathological changes in the lung tissue. Immunohistochemistry, Real-time PCR, and Western blot were employed to determine the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (Ki-67), PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway-related molecules, and EMT-related molecules in the tumor tissue. In the cell experiments, human lung adenocarcinoma PC-9 cells were allocated into control, YFZJF-containing serum, and cisplatin groups, which were treated with 20% blank rat serum, 20% YFZJF-containing rat serum, and 5.4 μmol·L-1 cisplatin for 48 h, respectively. The cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was adopted to detect cell proliferation and determine drug concentration. Cell scratch assay and Transwell assay were employed to evaluate cell migration and invasion. Immunofluorescence staining and Real-time PCR were used to analyze changes in expression of EMT markers. ResultsCompared with those in the model group, the tumor volume and tumor mass were reduced in the high-dose YFZJF group (P<0.01). Immunohistochemical results showed that compared with the model group, the medium- and high-dose YFZJF groups exhibited reduced Ki-67 expression in the tumor tissue (P<0.01). HE staining results showed that YFZJF alleviated the pathological injury of the lung tissue to different degrees. Real-time PCR results in the tumor tissue showed that compared with the model group, the high-dose YFZJF group displayed downregulated mRNA levels of protein kinase B1 (Akt1) and N-cadherin (P<0.05), phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase p85 regulatory subunit (p85) (P<0.01), mTOR (P<0.01), and Vimentin (P<0.01), and an upregulated mRNA level of E-cadherin (P<0.01). Western blot results showed that compared with the model group, the high-dose YFZJF group exhibited downregulated protein levels of phosphorylated (p)-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, p-mTOR/mTOR, Vimentin, and N-cadherin (P<0.01), and an upregulated protein level of E-cadherin (P<0.01) in the tumor tissue. The cell experiment results showed that compared with the blank serum group, YFZJF-containing serum inhibited the proliferation, migration, and invasion of PC-9 cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). Immunofluorescence results showed that compared with the control group, YFZJF-containing serum downregulated the protein levels of N-cadherin and Vimentin and upregulated the protein level of E-cadherin (P<0.01). Real-time PCR results showed that compared with the control group, YFZJF-containing serum upregulated the mRNA level of E-cadherin (P<0.05) and downregulated the mRNA levels of N-cadherin, Vimentin, P85, Akt1, and mTOR (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionYFZJF can significantly inhibit the progression of non-small cell lung cancer and reduce the migration and invasion of tumor cells by inhibiting the abnormal activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and reversing EMT.

Diabetic retinopathy, a prevalent and vision-threatening microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus, is the leading cause of blindness among middle-aged and elderly individuals. Natural diterpenoids isolated from Siegesbeckia pubescens demonstrate potent anti-inflammatory properties. This study aimed to identify novel bioactive diterpenoids from S. pubescens and investigate their effects on oxidative stress and inflammatory responses in diabetic retinopathy, both in vitro and in vivo. Three new ent-pimarane-type diterpenoids (1-3) and six known compounds (4-9) were isolated from the aerial parts of S. pubescens. Their structures were elucidated through spectroscopic data interpretation, and absolute configurations were determined by comparing calculated and experimental electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra. Among these compounds, 14β,16-epoxy-ent-3β,15α,19-trihydroxypimar-7-ene (5) exhibited the most potent protective effect against high glucose and interleukin-1β (IL-1β)-stimulated human retinal endothelial cells. Mechanistically, compound 5 promoted endothelial cell survival while ameliorating oxidative stress and inflammatory response in diabetic retinopathy, both in vivo and in vitro. These findings not only suggest that diterpenoids such as compound 5 are important anti-inflammatory constituents in S. pubescens, but also indicate that compound 5 may serve as a lead compound for preventing or treating vascular complications associated with diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To investigate the relationship between daily intake of monounsaturated fatty acids(MUFAs)and polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFAs)and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),and to determine the threshold values of daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake for NAFLD risk.Methods Date were collected from the Dryad database.We enrolled a total of 1 068 healthy subjects aged 18 years and older(534 in the control group and 534 with NAFLD group)who had physical check-up in the Affiliated Nanping First Hospital of Fujian Medical University from April 2015 to August 2017.Comprehensive medical histories were obtained through questionnaires;information on dietary intake was collected using a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intake were calculated.Baseline characteristics were compared between the two groups,and Logistic regression and restricted cubic spline(RCS)analyses were used to explore the relationship between daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake and NAFLD.Results Compared with the control group,the prevalence of hypertension,tea drinking,body mass index(BMI),daily energy intake,and daily MUFAs and PUFAs intakes were significant higher in patients with NAFLD(all P<0.05),but the proportion of physical activities was significantly lower(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis revealed that after adjusting other confounding factors such as age,gender and BMI,for every 10 g increase in daily MUFAs or PUFAs intake,the risk of NAFLD increased by 53%(95% CI:1.25-1.87,P<0.001)and 3.30 times(95% CI:2.98-6.20,P<0.001),respectively.RCS indicated an approximately linear relationship between daily MUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity=0.064)and a nonlinear relationship between daily PUFAs intake and NAFLD(P for nonlinearity<0.05).Subgroup analysis results were generally consistent,and there was statistical evidence of interactions between MUFAs and factors such as gender,hypertension and education level,with interaction between PUFAs and BMI observed(P<0.05).Conclusion Increased daily intake of MUFAs or PUFAs is significantly associated with an increased risk of NAFLD,and further research is needed to clarify their specific roles in hepatic lipid accumulation.

Aim To investigate the impact of G pro-tein-coupled estrogen receptor 1(GPER1),also known as GPR30 playing a significant role in the nerv-ous system,on neuronal damage and cognitive dysfunc-tion following epileptic seizures.Methods The pro-tein expression levels of GPER1 and the DNA damage marker γ-H2AX in epileptic rats were assessed using Western blot.The hippocampal neuronal damage and apoptosis in pilocarpine-induced epilepsy models were evaluated using Nissl and TUNEL staining techniques,compared with GPER1 knockdown(GPER1-KD)rats with wild-type(WT)controls.The behavioral activi-ties,including memory and spatial learning,were mo-nitored during the chronic phase of epilepsy using the IntelliCage system.Results Compared to the control group,GPER1 protein expression in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus significantly increased 24 hours post-epilepsy onset.In the GPER1-KD+EP group,hipp-ocampal neuronal damage was more severe,with a sig-nificant increase in apoptotic neurons compared to the WT+EP group.The IntelliCage data revealed that during free exploration,nose contact,position learn-ing,and reverse position learning stages in the GPER1-KD+EP group exhibited fewer visits and a higher error rate than in the WT+EP group.Conclu-sions Deficiency in GPER1 impairs memory and spa-tial learning abilities following epilepsy,potentially due to exacerbated neuronal injury,apoptosis,and inflam-mation.GPER1 represents a promising therapeutic tar-get for mitigating post-epileptic nerve damage and cog-nitive impairment.

The incidence of adenocarcinoma of esophagogastric junction (AEG) has been increasing annually. Due to its unique anatomical location and functional characteristics, the surgical operating space is limited, and the procedure is technically challenging, leading to a relatively high rate of intraoperative and postoperative complications. These issues are particularly pronounced in cases involving higher esophageal invasion. In recent years, with the advancement and maturation of laparoscopic techniques, the procedure of transabdominal hiatal high esophageal transection and anastomosis has been further refined and optimized. This has enabled gastrointestinal surgeons to perform the operation more smoothly, reduce operative time, and decrease the incidence of related complications. By reviewing relevant literatures and summarizing the operational experience of our team, the authors discuss the application value of transabdominal hiatal high esophageal transection and anastomosis in the radical resection of AEG, aiming to improve the success rate of surgery and reduce the incidence of complications.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the critical role of rehabilitation medical records (including electronic records) in rehabilitation medicine's clinical practice and management, comprehensively analyzed the structure, core content and data standards of rehabilitation medical records, to develop a standardized medical record data architecture and core dataset suitable for rehabilitation medicine and to explore the application of rehabilitation data in performance evaluation and payment. MethodsBased on the regulatory documents Basic Specifications for Medical Record Writing and Basic Specifications for Electronic Medical Records (Trial) issued by National Health Commission of China, and referencing the World Health Organization (WHO) Family of International Classifications (WHO-FICs) classifications, International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10/ICD-11), International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF), and International Classification of Health Interventions (ICHI Beta-3), this study constructed the data architecture, core content and data standards for rehabilitation medical records. Furthermore, it explored the application of rehabilitation record summary sheets (home page) data in rehabilitation medical statistics and payment methods, including Diagnosis-related Groups (DRG), Diagnosis-Intervention Packet (DIP) and Case Mix Index. ResultsThis study proposed a systematic standard framework for rehabilitation medical records, covering key components such as patient demographics, rehabilitation diagnosis, functional assessment, rehabilitation treatment prescriptions, progress evaluations and discharge summaries. The research analyzed the systematic application methods and data standards of ICD-10/ICD-11, ICF and ICHI Beta-3 in the fields of medical record terminology, coding and assessment. Constructing a standardized data structure and data standards for rehabilitation medical records can significantly improve the quality of data reporting based on the medical record summary sheet, thereby enhancing the quality control of rehabilitation services, effectively supporting the optimization of rehabilitation medical insurance payment mechanisms, and contributing to the establishment of rehabilitation medical performance evaluation and payment based on DRG and DIP. ConclusionStructured rehabilitation records and data standardization are crucial tools for quality control in rehabilitation. Systematically applying the three reference classifications of the WHO-FICs, and aligning with national medical record and electronic health record specifications, facilitate the development of a standardized rehabilitation record architecture and core dataset. Standardizing rehabilitation care pathways based on the ICF methodology, and developing ICF- and ICD-11-based rehabilitation assessment tools, auxiliary diagnostic and therapeutic systems, and supporting terminology and coding systems, can effectively enhance the quality of rehabilitation records and enable interoperability and sharing of rehabilitation data with other medical data, ultimately improving the quality and safety of rehabilitation services.

Da Qinjiaotang is the 54th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas (the first batch) ,and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease, Suitability of Qi, and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Ligusticum chuanxiong, Angelica sinensis, Paeonia lactiflora, Asari Radix et Rhizoma, Notopterygium incisum, Saposhnikoviae Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Gypsum, Angelica dahurica, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Poria, and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke, peripheral facial paralysis, cervical spondylosis, rheumatic arthritis, neurodermatitis, and other multisystem diseases. Therefore, following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas, the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data, involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution, composition, dosage, method of preparation, and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang, a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes, stroke (144) was the most, accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon", featuring "hands and feet cannot move, stiff tongue hinders speaking", as well as other symptoms, such as slant of the mouth, hemiplegia, numbness of the limbs, paroxysmal pain, and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded, covering tendon dryness, clonic convulsion, spasm syndrome, and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time, it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors, created the theory of "hot stroke", and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs, 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula, with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL, decocted once, and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang, the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information, so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.
