This paper summarizes Professor LIU Shangyi's clinical experience in treating acute mastitis based on the "membrane collaterals" theory. It is considered that constraint and stagnation of the membrane collaterrals is the primary pathogenic factor， with damp， heat， phlegm， and stasis being the secondary manifestations. If untreated， the condition can progress to heat toxin injuring the membrane. In treatment， the emphasis is diffusing and unblocking membrane collaterals， unblocking breast and relieving constraint. The clinical course of the disease can be divided into three stages including the early stage with mild constraint heat， the middle stage with escalating toxic heat， and the later stage with a decline of pathogens but deficiency of healthy qi. In correspondence， self-made Tongru Formula （通乳方） for diffusing membrane and venting constraint， self-made Toumo Jiedu Formula （透膜解毒方） for unblocking membrane and relieving toxin， and Tuoli Xiaodu Powder （托里消毒散） with modifications for restoring membrane and rectifying healthy qi should be used， respectively.

AIM: To investigate the comorbidity status of myopia and depressive symptoms among middle school students, identify key influencing factors, and establish a prediction model, thereby providing empirical evidence for the comprehensive intervention of these two conditions.METHODS: Students from 3 middle schools in Feidong county were recruited between 2022 and 2024. Myopia was defined as uncorrected visual acuity ≤5.0 with spherical equivalent refraction <-0.50 diopters(D). Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale(CES-D), with a score ≥16 indicating the presence of depressive symptoms. A database was established and data were entered using EpiData software. Pearson's Chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were performed to identify influencing factors and screen variables with R statistical software(version 4.5.2). Finally, a Stacking ensemble prediction model was constructed using Python3.13 software. RESULTS: The study included 2 476 students, consisting of 1 380 males and 1 096 females. The overall detection rate of myopia-depressive symptom comorbidity among the studied students was 14.54%. Univariate analysis showed that variables were significantly associated with the comorbidity, including family structure, grade level, sugar-sweetened beverage intake, exercise frequency, school bullying, and parental physical or verbal abuse(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis identified the following risk factors: higher grade levels(8th grade: OR=1.9143, 95%CI: 1.1096-3.3024; 9th grade: OR=1.7884, 95%CI: 1.0506-3.0444; 11th grade: OR=2.1847, 95%CI: 1.1980-3.9840; 12th grade: OR=3.4606, 95%CI: 1.8250-6.5621), daily consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages more than once(OR=3.1383, 95%CI: 1.7112-5.7560), low frequency of moderate-to-vigorous exercise on weekends and holidays(mostly achievable: OR=3.3115, 95%CI: 1.009-10.8685), alcohol consumption(OR=4.4021, 95%CI: 2.7383-7.0766), daily sedentary time exceeding 10 h(OR=1.8594, 95%CI: 1.2141-2.8476), lack of puberty education(OR=3.0098, 95%CI: 2.0659-4.3848), and exposure to parental physical or verbal abuse(OR=2.4050, 95%CI: 1.1484-5.0364). Protective factors included no experience of school bullying(OR=0.0055, 95%CI: 0.0002-0.1602), no history of severe injury(OR=0.3118, 95%CI: 0.1823-0.5332), outdoor activities during class breaks(OR=0.1672, 95%CI: 0.0752-0.3719), and moderate after-school homework duration(2-3 h per day: OR=0.4802, 95%CI: 0.2620-0.8801). The constructed Stacking prediction model demonstrated good discriminative ability, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of 0.855, a sensitivity of 81.5%, and a specificity of 74.0%. Key predictive factors included alcohol consumption status, location of recess activities, unhealthy lifestyle composite index(interaction term between sedentary duration and sugar-sweetened beverage intake frequency), academic stress index(interaction term between sedentary duration and homework duration), and after-school homework duration.CONCLUSION: The comorbidity of myopia and depression among middle school students is jointly influenced by multiple factors such as lifestyle, academic pressure, and family/campus environment. It is advocated to implement a three-level intervention system that includes restricting the sale of sugar-sweetened beverages, conducting psychological screening for sedentary students, and carrying out family-school-medical collaborative management of drinking behaviors. This model can be applied to school health screening and the early identification of high-risk groups in community adolescent health management. It is suitable for middle school students in regions with similar economic levels, but not applicable to students receiving special education or those with severe organic diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism by which Sini San （SNS） treats liver fibrosis through regulating the polarization of intrahepatic Kupffer cells. MethodsSixty SPF-grade male Balb/c mice were randomized into blank control， model， silymarin （0.2 g·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （2.93， 5.85， 11.70 g·kg^-1， respectively） SNS groups. A mouse model of liver fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of CCl₄. After 5 weeks of administration， the body mass， liver pathological changes ［Hematoxylin and Eosin （HE）， Masson， and Sirius red staining］， serum biochemical indicators ［alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and alanine aminotransferase （ALT）］， liver fibrosis markers ［procollagen type Ⅲ （PCⅢ）， laminin （LN）， and hyaluronic acid （HA）］， inflammatory cytokines ［interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-10 （IL-10）］， and fibrosis-related proteins ［α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， collagen type Ⅰ （Col Ⅰ）， and collagen type Ⅲ （Col Ⅲ）］ were assessed. A co-culture system of THP-1 cells （M1 macrophages） and human hepatic stellate cells （LX-2） was established. The cell experiment was designed with blank control （LX-2 alone）， model （LX-2 + M1 macrophages）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose SNS （co-culture with 5%， 10%， or 20% SNS-containing serum， respectively） groups. Cell viability， inflammatory cytokines， and macrophage phenotype were examined. Human primary hepatic Kupffer cells were allocated into blank control， M1 （LPS 100 μg·L^-1+IFN-γ 20 μg·L^-1）， M2 （IL-4 20 μg·L^-1+IL-13 20 μg·L^-1）， M1+M2， M1+SNS （supplemented with 10% SNS-containing serum for 2 h after culture under M1 conditions for 24 h）， M2+SNS （supplemented with 10% SNS-containing serum for 2 h after culture under M2 conditions for 24 h）， and M1+M2+SNS groups （supplemented with 10% SNS-containing serum for 2 h after culture under M1+M2 conditions for 24 h）， and the expression of nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） p65 and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） at protein and mRNA levels was determined. ResultsCompared with the blank group， the model group exhibited increased serum levels of ALT， AST， ALP， PCⅢ， LN， HA， IL-6， and TNF-α， upregulated protein and mRNA levels of α-SMA， Col Ⅰ， and Col Ⅲ in the liver tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and decreased IL-10 level and STAT3 mRNA level （P<0.05， P<0.01）， accompanied by marked collagen deposition and inflammatory infiltration in the liver. Compared with the model group， all doses of Sini San reversed these alterations （P<0.05， P<0.01）， with the high-dose group showing the most pronounced effects. Cell experiments demonstrated that， compared with the blank control group， the model group had elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines （IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α） and upregulated protein and mRNA levels of M1 markers ［cluster of differentiation 86 （CD86， inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP-1）］ （P<0.01）， along with declined level of IL-10 and downregulated expression of M2 markers ［（CD163， CD206， and arginase-1 （Arg-1）］ （P<0.05，P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， treatment with Sini San-containing serum at various concentrations lowered the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and expression of M1 markers （P<0.05， P<0.01）， while increasing the IL-10 level and M2 marker expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Additionally， Sini San downregulated the mRNA level of NF-κB and upregulated the mRNA level of STAT （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In the experiment with human primary Kupffer cells， compared with the blank group， the M1 group showed increased NF-κB p65 expression （P<0.01） and decreased STAT3 expression （P<0.05）， whereas the M2 group exhibited increased STAT3 expression （P<0.01）. Compared with the respective model groups， Sini San-containing serum reversed the M1-induced overexpression of NF-κB p65 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and further enhanced the M2-induced STAT3 expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionSini San can inhibit the NF-κB p65/STAT3 signaling pathway and repolarize intrahepatic Kupffer cells from the pro-inflammatory M1 to the anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype to attenuate inflammation and suppress hepatic stellate cell activation and collagen deposition， thereby exerting anti-fibrotic effect.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of hepatitis C in Henan province from 2012 to 2022.Methods:The case report data on hepatitis C from counties and districts in Henan between 2012 and 2022 were collected. The distribution characteristics were analyzed by descriptive epidemiological methods, and GeoDa1.2 software was used to perform spatial autocorrelation analysis. The spatiotemporal epidemiological analysis was conducted using SaTScan 10.1 software.Results:A total of 274 485 hepatitis C cases were reported in Henan from 2012 to 2022. The reported annual average incidence rate was 25.84/100 000 and showed an overall downward trend from 2012 to 2022 ( Z=-4.05, P<0.001). More cases were reported in women. The cases were mainly aged 40-69 years and farmers. Spatial autocorrelation analysis showed that the reported cases of hepatitis C present spatial clustering during 2012—2022, and the areas with high incidence were mainly distributed in counties or districts of Zhengzhou, Zhumadian, Xuchang, Zhoukou, and Nanyang. One class I clustering area was detected by spatiotemporal scanning, which mainly covered Xuchang, Pingdingshan and the surrounding counties ( LLR=16 117.73, RR=1.81, P<0.001). Conclusion:The reported cases of hepatitis C in Henan Province show an overall downward trend from 2012 to 2022 and present spatiotemporal clustering. The seasonal regularity of the hepatitis C epidemic is not obvious. People aged 40-69 years old and farmers are the key population for prevention and control.

Objective:To investigate tetanus antibody levels and distribution characteristics in a healthy population of Henan Province.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted in Henan Province from 2022 to 2023 to investigate the permanent population. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect anti-tetanus toxoid IgG antibody (anti-TT), and the positive rate (≥0.01 IU/ml), protection rate (≥0.1 IU/ml) and concentration differences of tetanus antibodies in different populations were analyzed.Results:The age M ( Q1, Q3) of 5 494 participants was 14 (4, 40) years old, with a minimum age of 8 months and a maximum age of 81 years old. The male-to-female ratio was 1.00∶1.18. The total positive rate, protective rate and mean concentration (MC) [ M ( Q1, Q3)] of Anti-TT were 76.48%, 41.72% and 0.067 (0.010, 0.154) IU/ml, respectively. The positive rates of Anti-TT in individuals aged <3, 3-5, 6-9, and 10-14 were 95.32%, 96.05%, 97.81%, and 93.17%, respectively, but gradually decreased with age ( χ2trend=1 283.02, P<0.001). The antibody protection rate [82.13% (579/705)] and MC [ M ( Q1, Q3) of 0.160 (0.122, 0.259) IU/ml] in the population under 3 years old were relatively high, and both showed a decreasing trend with age (protection rate: χ2trend=1 889.49, P<0.001; MC: t=-54.22, P<0.001). There were significant differences in antibody levels among populations of different ages, regions, occupations, and immunization histories (all P<0.001). Within 13 years after the last dose of TTCV vaccination, the positive rate of Anti-TT was all greater than 90%, but the protection rate and MC continued to decrease with the prolongation of vaccination time (protection rate: χ2trend=160.58, P<0.001; MC: t=-14.93, P<0.001). After the last dose of vaccination, the protection rate and MC [ M ( Q1, Q3)] decreased to 30.43% and 0.055 (0.036, 0.115) IU/ml, respectively, for 10-13 years. The protection rates of Anti-TT for farmers, workers, people aged 60 and above, and women of childbearing age (20-45 years old) were 7.77%, 22.96%, 8.39%, and 12.72%, respectively. Conclusion:The level of tetanus antibodies in infants and young children in Henan Province is relatively high from 2022 to 2023, but it decreases with age and prolonged post-immunization time. There are significant differences in antibody levels among individuals of different ages, regions, occupations, and immunization histories. Occupational high-risk groups such as farmers and workers, elderly people, and women of childbearing age lack sufficient immunization protection.

In February 2025, a local cluster outbreak caused by the D8 genotype Measles virus (MV) was first discovered in Henan Province. Epidemiological investigations and laboratory testing were conducted, including the collection of serum and throat swabs for MV IgM antibody and nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and genetic homology analysis. Measures such as close contact tracing, vaccination rate assessment and supplementary immunization activities were implemented, successfully preventing broader community transmission. A total of three cases were reported during the outbreak, including one imported-related adolescent and two secondary local adult cases. All cases presented with typical symptoms such as fever and rash. Both adult cases were complicated by pneumonia, with one case developing into severe pneumonia. MV genotyping showed that the two secondary cases were both the D8 genotype, with the viral sequences being completely homologous to the Kazakhstan strain. Among the close contacts, 98.2% were adults, and 142 individuals received emergency vaccination.

Based on the concept of strategic purchasing,it explores the underlying logic of medical insurance payment for hospital weight management services,including enhancing the cost-effectiveness of health investment,motivating hospitals to improve the quality and efficiency of weight management services,and promoting the supply-side reform of weight management services.By drawing on international experience in medical insurance payment for weight management services and analyzing the current practices of Chinese medical insurance systems,it is found China faces challenges in promoting hospital weight management services,such as incoordination between weight management policy advocacy and medical insurance funding,conflicting DRG grouping schemes,and inadequate insurance coverage.To address these issues,it proposes strategies including:improve the top-level design of medical insurance payment for hospital weight management services,give full play to the incentive role of medical insurance payment on hospitals and individuals,build a diversified medical insurance support system for weight management services,optimize the practice path of medical insurance payment for hospital weight management services,and help promote the Healthy China strategy.

Objective:This meta-analysis compares the postoperative outcomes of the double-flap technique (DFT) versus esophagogastrostomy (EG), jejunal interposition (JI), double-tract reconstruction (DTR), and gastric tube anastomosis (GTA) following proximal gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods:Prospective and retrospective studies published from database inception until June 2025 were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CNKI, and Wanfang databases. Studies reporting at least one predefined outcome with extractable data were included. Outcomes of interest consisted of incidence of gastroesophageal reflux, overall postoperative complications, anastomotic leakage, anastomotic stenosis, and digestive reconstruction time. Two investigators independently performed literature screening, data extraction, and quality assessment. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were evaluated with the Cochrane ROB 2.0 tool, retrospective cohort studies with the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS), and single-arm studies with the JBI critical appraisal tool. Dichotomous outcomes were pooled using risk ratios (RRs), and continuous variables were summarized with standardized mean differences (SMDs), using fixed- or random-effects models based on I2 statistics. Publication bias was assessed via funnel plots and Egger's test.Results:A total of 55 studies published between 2007 and 2025 were included, comprising 5 RCTs and 50 retrospective studies. Among 4,380 patients, 732 underwent EG, 454 GTA, 1,480 DTR, 468 JI, and 1,246 DFT. Quality assessment indicated that all except six retrospective cohort studies (rated as moderate quality) were of high quality or had low risk of bias. Among the five reconstruction methods, DFT showed the lowest incidence of gastroesophageal reflux (6.6%, 82/1,246) and overall postoperative complications (11.6%, 144/1,246). JI had the lowest rate of anastomotic leakage (1.3%, 6/468), followed by DFT (1.4%, 18/1,246), and DTR had the lowest rate of anastomotic stenosis (2.4%, 36/1,480), followed by DFT (7.5%, 94/1,246). DFT required the longest operative time for reconstruction ([141.2 ± 597.6] minutes), and DTR required the shortest ([50.1 ± 39.0] minutes). Compared to EG, DFT was associated with a significantly lower risk of gastroesophageal reflux (RR=0.13 ,95%CI: 0.03-0.55, P = 0.01), and no significant differences were observed in overall complications (RR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.55-1.74, P = 0.93), anastomotic leakage (RR = 0.81, 95%CI: 0.04-18.43, P = 0.90), or anastomotic stenosis (RR = 0.75, 95%CI: 0.09-6.39, P = 0.79). Compared to JI, DFT showed no significant differences in gastroesophageal reflux (RR = 0.36, 95%CI: 0.10-1.25, P=0.11), overall complications (RR=2.06, 95%CI: 0.30-14.11, P=0.46), anastomotic leakage (RR=2.05, 95%CI: 0.26-16.18, P=0.49), or anastomotic stenosis (RR=0.83, 95%CI: 0.10-7.17, P=0.87). Similarly, compared to DTR, DFT had a lower risk of overall complications (RR=0.70, 95%CI: 0.50-0.98, P=0.04) but a longer reconstruction time (SMD: 2.55, 95%CI: 0.31-4.79, P=0.03). No significant differences were found in gastroesophageal reflux (RR = 0.68, 95%CI: 0.35-1.30, P=0.24), anastomotic leakage (RR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.16-2.17, P=0.43), or anastomotic stenosis (RR=2.44 , 95%CI: 0.44-13.64, P=0.31). Compared to GTA, DFT was associated with a significantly lower risk of gastroesophageal reflux (RR = 0.53, 95%CI: 0.33-0.88, P=0.01), but again there were no significant differences in overall complications (RR = 0.69, 95%CI: 0.41-1.16, P=0.16), anastomotic leakage (RR = 0.25, 95%CI: 0.03-2.14, P=0.21), or anastomotic stenosis (RR=0.65, 95%CI: 0.24-1.76, P=0.40). No significant publication bias was detected in the analysis (Egger's test P>0.05). Conclusions:Among the five common anastomotic methods after proximal gastrectomy, DFT demonstrates superior anti-reflux efficacy, outperforming EG and GTA in particular in preventing gastroesophageal reflux. DFT also exhibits a lower overall complication risk compared with DTR but maintains anastomotic safety comparable with that of the other techniques.
