With the rapid development of social economy and the continuous improvement of human living standard, the incidence, fatality and recurrence rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) are increasing year by year, which seriously affects people's life and health. Conventional therapeutic drugs have limited improvement on the disability rate, so the search for new therapeutic drugs and action targets has become one of the hotspots of current research. In recent years, the therapeutic role of the natural compound rosmarinic acid (RA) in CVD has attracted much attention, which is capable of preventing CVD by modulating multiple signalling pathways and exerting physiological activities such as antioxidant, anti-apoptotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-platelet aggregation, as well as anti-coagulation and endothelial function protection. In this paper, the role of RA in the prevention of CVD is systematically sorted out, and its mechanism of action is summarised and analysed, with a view to providing a scientific basis and important support for the in-depth exploration of the prevention value of RA in CVD and its further development as a prevention drug.

Ulcerative colitis （UC）， a chronic， non-specific inflammatory bowel disease with typical symptoms such as abdominal pain， diarrhea， and bloody stools， demonstrates a high relapse rate and difficulty in curing. Sishenwan， first recorded in Internal Medicine Abstract （Nei Ke Zhai Yao）， are a classic prescription for treating diarrhea caused by deficiency of the spleen and kidney Yang. The core therapeutic principle of Sishenwan is warming and tonifying the spleen and kidney， and astringing the intestine and stopping diarrhea. In recent years， Sishenwan have demonstrated distinct advantages in the clinical treatment of UC. The pathogenesis of UC involves multiple factors， including immune dysregulation and gut microbiota imbalance. Although Western medicine is effective in the short term， its side effects， high relapse rate， and resistance associated with long-term use pose substantial challenges. Sishenwan have shown excellent clinical outcomes in the treatment of UC due to deficiency of the spleen and kidney Yang. Modern clinical studies indicate that Sishenwan， used alone or in combination with Western medicine or other Chinese medicine compound prescriptions， significantly improve the clinical efficacy in treating UC due to deficiency of the spleen and kidney Yang. Sishenwan effectively alleviate core symptoms such as mucus， pus， and blood in stools， and persistent abdominal pain， reduce Mayo scores and the relapse rate， and improve patients' quality of life. Research on the material basis reveals that Sishenwan contain multiple active ingredients such as psoralen， isopsoralen， and evodiamine. Mechanism studies indicate that Sishenwan inhibit the inflammatory cascade reactions by regulating the signal network through multiple targets. Sishenwan regulate cellular immunity and restore intestinal immune homeostasis. At the microecological level， Sishenwan promote the intestinal barrier repair through the "microbiota-metabolism-immunity" axis. The current research still needs to be deepened in aspects such as the mining of specific biomarkers for syndromes and the exploration of the collaborative mechanism of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. In the future， a full-chain system covering syndrome differentiation， targeting， and monitoring needs to be constructed for promoting the paradigm transformation of Sishenwan into precision drugs. This review systematically explains the treatment mechanism of Sishenwan regarding the combination of disease and syndrome and its multi-target regulatory characteristics， providing a theoretical basis and transformation direction for the treatment of UC with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

Objective To evaluate the effect of manual massage on complications after endoscopic foam sclerotherapy injection for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids.Methods Consecutive 113 patients with grade Ⅰinternal hemorrhoids were prospectively enrolled and completed endoscopic foam sclerotherapy.The patients were randomly divided into a massage group(n=65)and a control group(n=68).Massage group performed manual perianal massage,Visual analogue scale(VAS)was used to evaluate perianal pain.The postoperative bleeding,short-term and long-term efficacy were also compared.Results The median VAS of 24 h postoperation was 1.0(0.0,3.0)in massage group,which was significantly lower than 2.0(1.0,4.0)in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.014).The no bleeding rate of one week postoperation was 84.6％in massage group,which was significantly higher than 64.7％in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P=0.009).After 12 weeks,6 months and 12 months of follow-up,there were no significant differences in cure rate and remission rate between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Manual massage after endoscopic sclerosing agent injection is beneficial to relieve postoperative pain of grade Ⅰ internal hemorrhoids and reduce bleeding.

Objective:RS4;11 cell line was used to establish BCL-2 inhibitor-resistant cell lines of B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia(B-ALL)and explore the possible mechanisms of drug resistance.Methods:RS4;11 cell line was continuously induced and cultured by low and ascending concentrations of BCL-2 inhibitors navitoclax and venetoclax to construct navitoclax-resistant cell line RS4;11/Nav and venetoclax-resistant cell line RS4;11/Ven.The cell viability was detected by MTT assay,and the cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry.Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)between RS4;11 drug-resistant cell lines and parental cell line were detected by transcriptome sequencing technology(RNA-seq),and mRNA expression levels of DEGs between drug-resistant cell lines and parental cell line were detected by real-time PCR(RT-PCR).Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of BCL-2 family anti-apoptotic proteins in drug-resistant cell lines and parental cell line.Results:The drug-resistant cell lines RS4;11/Nav and RS4;11/Ven were successfully established.The resistance index(RI)of RS4;11/Nav to navitoclax and RS4;11/Ven to venetoclax was 328.655±47.377 and 2 894.027±300.311,respectively.The results of cell apoptosis detection showed that compared with the drug-resistant cell lines,RS4;11 parental cell line were significantly inhibited by BCL-2 inhibitors,while the apoptosis rate of drug-resistant cell lines was not affected by the drugs.Western blot assay showed that the expression of anti-apoptotic proteins of BCL-2 family did not increase significantly in drug-resistant cell lines.RNA-seq,RT-PCR and Western blot assays showed that the expression of EP300 in drug-resistant cell lines was significantly higher than that in parental cell line(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Drug-resistant B-ALL cell lines could be successfully established by exposing RS4;11 cell line to the ascending concentration of BCL-2 inhibitors,and the drug resistance mechanism may be related to the overexpression of EP300.

Objective:To analyze the clinical characteristics of dengue fever patients, summarize the course and characteristics of the disease, and analyze the risk factors that affect the condition.Methods:Retrospective collection of general information, clinical symptoms, medical history, laboratory tests, prognosis and other clinical data of dengue fever patients that admitted to Jinghong First People's Hospital and severe dengue fever patients at People's Hospital of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture from June to December 2023 was conducted using a case report form (CRF). According to the diagnostic criteria of the World Health Organization (WHO), patients were divided into dengue fever group, dengue fever with warning signs group, and severe dengue fever group. The differences in clinical data between different groups of patients were analyzed and compared. Binary multiple factor Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors affecting the severity of dengue fever in patients. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to analyze the predictive value of prediction models constructed for various risk factors for severe dengue fever. Subgroup analysis was performed on the prognosis of severe dengue fever patients, and the differences in clinical data between two groups of patients with different prognoses were compared. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors affecting the prognosis of severe dengue fever patients. ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of prediction models constructed for various risk factors on the prognosis of severe dengue fever patients.Results:A total of 2 264 patients were included, including 499 cases in the dengue fever group, 1 379 cases in the dengue fever with warning signs group, and 386 in the severe dengue fever group (43 deaths and 343 survivors). The most common symptom of dengue fever patients was fever (94.70%), followed by muscle soreness (70.54%), headache (63.12%), fatigue (58.92%), and chills (46.02%). Compared with the dengue fever group and the dengue fever with warning signs group, the ratio of thalassemia and the levels of cardiac troponin (cTnI, cTnT), MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase (CK-MB), and myoglobin were significantly increased in patients with severe dengue fever group, albumin (Alb) was significantly decreased in patients with severe dengue fever group. The levels of cTnT and myoglobin in patients with dengue fever with warning signs group were significantly higher than those in the dengue fever group, and the level of Alb in patients with dengue fever with warning signs group was significantly lower than that in the dengue fever group, the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that thalassemia [odds ratio ( OR) = 6.214, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 2.337-16.524, P < 0.001], Alb ≤ 36 g/L ( OR = 6.297, 95% CI was 4.270-9.286, P < 0.001), and cTnT levels ( OR = 1.008, 95% CI was 1.002-1.015, P = 0.016) were risk factors for severe dengue fever. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) for predicting severe dengue fever based on the prediction models constructed for the above risk factors was 0.856, with the best predictive value of 0.067, sensitivity of 67.1%, and specificity of 99.4%. In the subgroup analysis of patients with severe dengue fever, compared with the survival group, the levels of hematocrit (HCT), cTnT, and CK-MB in the death group patients were significantly increased, while the level of Alb was significantly decreased, and the differences were statistically significant. Binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Alb ( OR = 0.839, 95% CI was 0.755-0.932, P = 0.001), HCT ( OR = 1.086, 95% CI was 1.010-1.168, P = 0.025), elevated troponin level ( OR = 10.119, 95% CI was 2.596-39.440, P < 0.001), and CK-MB ( OR = 1.081, 95% CI was 1.032-1.133, P < 0.001) were risk factors for mortality in patients with severe dengue fever. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC for predicting death in severe dengue fever patients based on the prediction models constructed for the above risk factors was 0.881, with the best predictive value of 0.113, sensitivity of 75.0%, and specificity of 88.9%. Conclusion:Thalassemia, Alb≤36 g/L, and cTnT level are risk factors for severe dengue fever, while HCT level, Alb level, CK-MB level, and elevated troponin level are risk factors for death in patients with severe dengue fever.

From October 2021 to February 2023, we retrospectively analyzed the clinical and laboratory data of six patients (three male and three female, median age: 54 years, age range: 29-73 years) with mast cell leukemia (MCL) diagnosed in the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (The Mastocytosis Collaborative Network of China). All patients had acute MCL, with at least one C-finding present. The main clinical presentations were hypoalbuminemia ( n=4), fatigue ( n=3), fever ( n=2), abdominal discomfort ( n=2), osteolytic lesions ( n=2), dizziness ( n=1), skin flushing ( n=1), and weight loss ( n=1). Splenomegaly and lymphadenopathy were noted in six and three patients, respectively. Six patients were strongly positive for CD117, five were positive for CD30 and CD25, and four were positive for CD2. Four patients had a normal karyotype and two patients had an abnormal karyotype. Gene mutations were detected in 4/6 cases. The median serum tryptase level was 24.9 (range: 20.1-171.9) μg/L. Two patients were treated with venetoclax and azacitidine for induction (one patient achieved partial remission by combination with afatinib, while there was no remission after combination with dasatinib in the other patient). Two patients did not achieve complete remission despite treatment with cladribine and imatinib, respectively. One patient treated with interferon combined with glucocorticoids was lost to follow-up, and one patient abandoned treatment. The follow-up time ranged from 1.1 to 21.7 months. Three patients died and two survived. Overall, MCL is a rare subtype of systemic mastocytosis with heterogeneous clinical course, and these patients have poor outcome. A better understanding of the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of MCL is urgently needed.

Objective To propose a topology-optimized design method for bone plates that effectively reduces stress concentration and improves bone healing compared with traditional topology-optimized method.Methods Based on the load constraints of a bone plate in a broken bone-splint system,an improved topology optimization method based on the load path was used to optimize the design of the bone plate structure.Subsequently,a bone regeneration simulation model based on bias strain was used to simulate the transverse fracture of the tibial tuberosity,and the force state,fixation stability,and healing performance of the optimized plate were evaluated based on data from the bone regeneration process.Results Using the optimized bone plate based on the load path optimization method,the maximum stresses of the bone plate were 55.68 MPa and 42.23 MPa at volume fractions f=0.55 and 0.65,respectively,which were reduced by 32.96％and 29.95％,respectively,compared with the optimized bone plate using the traditional topology optimization method.The average elastic moduli of the callus after the bone-healing process were 1 439.47 MPa and 1 355.71 MPa,respectively.These values were 145.86％and 131.06％higher than those of traditional bone plates,respectively.Conclusions In this study,the proposed improved topology optimization method based on the load path was used to optimize bone-plate structures.Compared to the bone plate obtained using the traditional topology optimization method,the optimized bone plate was more uniformly loaded and safer.The bone-healing performance was significantly improved compared to the traditional bone plate.These results provide a new method for the optimal design of internal fixation implants for fractures.

Objective To establish the pharmacokinetic model of linezolid in neonates,and to optimize the administration regimen. Methods A prospective study was conducted among 64 neonates with sepsis who received linezolid as anti-infective therapy,and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry was used to measure the plasma concentration of the drug. Clinical data were collected,and nonlinear mixed effects modeling was used to establish a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model. Monte Carlo simulation and evaluation was performed for the optimal administration regimen of children with different features. Results The pharmacokinetic properties of linezolid in neonates could be described by a single-compartment model with primary elimination,and the population typical values for apparent volume of distribution and clearance rate were 0.79 L and 0.34 L/h,respectively. The results of goodness of fit,visualization verification,and the Bootstrap method showed that the model was robust with reliable results of parameter estimation and prediction. Monte Carlo simulation results showed that the optimal administration regimen for linezolid in neonates was as follows:6 mg/kg,q8h,at 28 weeks of gestational age (GA);8 mg/kg,q8h,at 32 weeks of GA;9 mg/kg,q8h,at 34-37 weeks of GA;11 mg/kg,q8h,at 40 weeks of GA. Conclusions The PPK model established in this study can provide a reference for individual administration of linezolid in neonates. GA and body weight at the time of administration are significant influencing factors for the clearance rate of linezolid in neonates.

Background With urbanization and residential space expansion, ecological environment and human health issues have become hot social topics. Forest health, as a way of seeking health in nature, has begun to receive public attention in the context of the gradually increasing sub-healthy population and various psychological and physical diseases at a young age. Objective To systematically evaluate the effects of forest therapy on selected physical and mental health indicators. Methods Relevant research literature was retrieved from domestic and international databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, China Biomedical Literature Service System, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library), with a time range from database establishment to January 31, 2023. Relevant data were extracted for meta-analysis to explore the relationship between forest therapy and selected psychological and physiological indicators. Results A total of 85 articles were included, and the meta-analysis results showed that better scores of Profile of Mood States, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and State Trait Anxiety Scale were found in the forest group than those in the urban group (P<0.05); the levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, sympathetic nerve indicator [ln (LF/HF)], salivary cortisol, and serum inflammatory factors were lower in the forest group than in the urban group, while parasympathetic nerve indicator [ln (HF)] level was higher in the forest group than in the urban group (P<0.05). The results of subgroup analysis showed that the changes in heart rate (SMD=−1.62, 95%CI: −2.41, −0.82), ln (HF) (SMD=1.29, 95%CI: 0.73, 1.85), ln (LF/HF) (SMD=−1.49, 95%CI: −2.13, −0.86), and salivary cortisol (SMD=−0.53, 95%CI: −0.81, −0.25) were more significant when the duration of forest therapy was ≤ 0.5 h, the recovery effect on emotional state was better in the >0.5~3 h group (such as tension SMD=−2.40, 95%CI: −3.21, 1.59), and the reduction effects on systolic blood pressure (SMD=−0.53, 95%CI: −1.03, −0.03) and diastolic blood pressure (SMD=−0.42, 95%CI: −0.88, 0.04) were better in the >3 h group. Seated meditation showed better recovery effects on multiple indicators of Profile of Mood States (such as fatigue SMD=−2.26, 95%CI: −3.07, −1.45), while walking showed better recovery effects on physiological indicators such as blood pressure (systolic blood pressure SMD=−0.57, 95%CI: −1.07, −0.06; diastolic blood pressure SMD=−0.72, 95%CI: −1.36, −0.07) and heart rate (SMD=−1.51, 95%CI: −2.38, -0.64). Except for blood pressure, the health benefits of forest therapy in the younger age group were generally better than those in the middle-aged and elderly group. Conclusion Relaxed and comfortable psychological feeling is reported when practicing forest therapy; it can lower blood pressure and heart rate, regulate the autonomic nervous system; it can also reduce the release of stress hormones and lower serum levels of inflammatory factors, exerting an auxiliary recovery effect on cardiovascular and immune system disorders. At the same time, the therapy duration, form, and age of the subjects have a certain impact on the effects of forest therapy practice.
