BACKGROUND:Low temperatures have detrimental effects on the human cardiovascular system,with a higher prevalence of hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases,especially among people living in cold climates.Transient receptor potential M8(TRPM8)is often recognized as a physiological sensor of environmental cold,and glutamate receptor-3(GLR-3)/glutamate receptor ionotropic,kainate 2(GluK2)is also cold-sensitive.However,the specific molecular mechanisms of cold-associated TRPM8 and GLR-3/GluK2 in regulating hypertension remain puzzling.OBJECTIVE:Through a review of the literature in this field,to find out the general pattern of TRPM8 and GLR-3/GluK2 in regulating the body's cold response,as well as the specific mechanism of action in hypertension,thereby providing a theoretical basis for subsequent research on the treatment of hypertension based on cold-stimulation-related targets,and further expanding the new ideas and methods for the treatment of hypertension.METHODS:We searched,reviewed and screened the relevant literature on"cold stimulation,TRPM8,GLR-3/GluK2 and hypertension"to lay the theoretical foundation for the analysis of the whole article.Comparative analysis method,through reading and analyzing the obtained literature,comparing the similarities and differences between the literature,was performed to provide reasonable theoretical support for the argument.Through further comparative analysis of the literature,the relationship between the relevant indicators was clarified,and the ideas were clarified for the analysis of the full text.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)TRPM8 can be activated by cold and mainly mediates cool temperature perception in mammals.Its activation can trigger neurogenic inflammatory response and indirectly affect the inflammatory process.Abnormal TRPM8 signal can lead to excessive activation of immune cells,which is significantly associated with the occurrence and development of hypertension.(2)The activation threshold of GLR-3/GluK2 is lower than that of TRPM8,which may preferentially respond to noxious cold stimulation rather than ordinary cool temperature.In cold environment,GLR-3/GluK2 activation enhances sympathetic nerve excitability by regulating interneuron signal transduction and causes peripheral vascular constriction.Long-term effects can lead to increased peripheral vascular resistance.To conclude,TRPM8 and GLR-3/GluK2 are involved in the interaction of the nerve-immune-vascular system by sensing different cold stimuli.Abnormal TRPM8 signaling indirectly promotes the progression of hypertension through inflammation and immune dysregulation,while GLR-3/GluK2 directly exacerbates vascular constriction and resistance by enhancing sympathetic nerve activity.The combination of the two factors may constitute the key molecular mechanism of the occurrence and development of hypertension in cold environment,and provide a potential target for the intervention of cold-related cardiovascular diseases.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the current status of informatization tools applied to antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China, and to provide a reference for promoting the informatization development of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals.METHODS From August to September 2025, an online questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 007 county hospitals across 31 provinces(autonomous regions, and municipalities) in China. The survey focused on the application of four types of informatization tools:the real-time monitoring system for antimicrobial use, the pre-prescription review system, the irrational use warning system, and the electronic prescription evaluation system(hereinafter referred to as the “monitoring system”“review system”“warning system”“evaluation system”,respectively). Correlation analysis and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to explore the influencing factors.RESULTS Of the county hospitals, 80.83% were equipped with at least one type of informatization tool for antimicrobial stewardship, while 19.17% had no relevant tool. Only 18.87% of the hospitals were equipped with all four types of tools. The monitoring system exhibited the highest equipped rate (70.80%), whereas the warning system was equipped in only 33.96% of the hospitals. Four types of tools are evenly and adequately deployed in the eastern region, the central and western regions have far lower deployment rates of intervention tools including review system and warning system, accompanied by prominent intra-provincial gaps. The total number of the health technicians, hospital grade, and prescription review rate of outpatient antibacterial drug were significantly and positively correlated with the deployment rates of the four informatization tools ( P <0.05). The results of the Logistic regression model fitting indicated that the model of the review system was rated “excellent” [area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC)=0.81], and the model of the warning system was rated “further improvement” (AUC=0.67). The total number of health technicians was significantly positively correlated with the deployment rates of all four types of informatization tools (all P <0.05).CONCLUSIONS The informatization of antimicrobial stewardship in county hospitals in China remains in the initial stage of transitioning from “passive statistics” to “active prevention and control”, with challenges such as structural imbalance and regional disparities. In the future, differentiated support strategies should be implemented, the allocation of resources should be optimized, to enhance the level of refined antimicrobial stewardship.

The pathogenesis of recurrent acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis is considered to be "yang floating and yin weakness". Yin weakness refers to the depletion of the water and fire of true yin in the lower jiao (焦), which is the root of the disease. Yang floating refers to the ministerial fire floating upward and scorching the lung metal due to the failure of true yin to nourish and constrain yang, which is the manifestation of acute exacerbations. Yin weakness and yang floating interact with each other, forming a vicious cycle of "yin depletion leading to fire floating, and floating fire in turn injuring yin", which leads to recurrent, prolonged, and refractory acute exacerbations of bronchiectasis. Based on the pathogenesis of yang floating and yin weakness, therapeutic formulas are proposed. Yinhuo Decoction (引火汤) can be used to nourish true yin and anchor floating fire, while a combination of Qianyang Pill (潜阳丹) and Fengsui Pill (封髓丹) is applied to warm the kidneys, subdue yang, and secure true fire, and Quanzhen Yiqi Decoction (全真一气汤) is utilized to drastically supplement the primal origin and rescue both yin and yang simultaneously.
