OBJECTIVE To establish a quality control method for Jinbei oral liquid based on multi-wavelength switching high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） fingerprint， chemical pattern recognition and multi-index content determination. METHODS A total of 15 batches of Jinbei oral liquid were used as test samples. The Similarity Evaluation System for Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine （ Version 2012 ） was adopted to establish multi-wavelength switching HPLC fingerprints， followed by chromatographic peak identification and similarity evaluation. Cluster analysis， principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis were applied to conduct chemical pattern recognition on the 15 batches of samples. The multi-wavelength switching HPLC method was used to simultaneously determine the contents of neochlorogenic acid， chlorogenic acid， cryptochlorogenic acid， forsythoside A， baicalin， salvianoli c acid B and wogonoside in samples. RESULTS A total of 25 common peaks were calibrated in the fingerprints of 15 batches of Jinbei oral liquid， among which 7 common peaks were unambiguously identified. The similarity of all samples was higher than 0.960. Chemical pattern recognition results showed that samples S1-S8 were clustered into group 1， and samples S9-S15 were clustered into group 2. Baicalin， wogonoside， neochlorogenic acid， chlorogenic acid and salvianolic acid B were identified as the differential quality markers. The average contents of neochlorogenic acid， chlorogenic acid， cryptochlorogenic acid， forsythoside A， baicalin， salvianolic acid B and wogonoside in 15 batches of Jinbei oral liquid were 0.213 7， 0.085 3， 0.104 9， 0.287 3， 0.420 1， 0.062 1， 0.176 0 mg/mL， respectively. CONCLUSIONS The established quality control method for Jinbei oral liquid combining multi-wavelength switching HPLC fingerprint， chemical pattern recognition and multi-index content determination is stable and reliable， which can provide a reference for the formulation of quality standards of this preparation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of berberine hydrochloride on the expression of urease genes ureA and ureB in Helicobacter pylori （H. pylori） and its biofilm. MethodsThe standard strain 26695 of H. pylori， which was preserved in our laboratory， along with the drug-resistant strains H390， e660， H57， and H389 of H. pylori that were isolated from clinical sources were revived. The minimum inhibitory concentration （MIC） of berberine hydrochloride against the planktonic cells of the aforementioned five strains of H. pylori was determined using the broth dilution method. The combined inhibitory effect of berberine hydrochloride and amoxicillin against the aforementioned four strains of clinically resistant H. pylori was assessed using the checkerboard method. TheMIC of berberine hydrochloride against the biofilms of H. pylori strains 26695 and H390 was determined using the broth dilution method. Planktonic cells and biofilms of the aforementioned H. pylori strains 26695 and H390 were co-incubated with berberine hydrochloride at concentrations of 0.5MIC， MIC， and 2MIC for 2， 8， and 24 hours， respectively. Subsequently， urease activity was measured， and the expression levels of the ureA and ureB genes were detected using RT-qPCR. ResultsBerberine hydrochloride exhibited inhibitory effects against both planktonic cells of the antibiotic-sensitive strain 26695 and the antibiotic-resistant strains H390， e660， H57， and H389 of H. pylori. It also demonstrated inhibitory effects against the biofilms formed by strains 26695 and H390. Furthermore， the combined inhibitory effect of berberine hydrochloride and amoxicillin against antibiotic-resistant strains of H. pylori was either synergistic or additive. Berberine hydrochloride inhibited urease activity in both planktonic cells and biofilms of the H. pylori strains 26695 and H390. Furthermore， berberine hydrochloride downregulated the relative expression levels of the ureA and ureB genes in H. pylori and its biofilms. The relative expression levels of the ureA and ureB genes exhibited a dose- and time-dependent decrease with increasing concentrations of berberine hydrochloride and longer co-incubation times （P<0.05）. ConclusionBerberine hydrochloride inhibits both planktonic cells and biofilms of H. pylori. When combined with amoxicillin， it exerts additive or synergistic effects against H. pylori. Furthermore， by inhibiting urease activity and downregulating the expression of the ureA and ureB genes in H. pylori， berberine hydrochloride contributes to the reduction in growth of both planktonic cells and biofilms.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of high-fat diet(HFD)-induced obesity on male ze-brafish reproductive function.Methods Adult male zebrafish were divided into normal diet(ND)group and HFD group.Growth and metabolic conditions were evaluated by measuring body weight,body length,BMI,organ index,and glucose/lipid lev-els.Reproductive capacity was assessed via sperm concentration,motility,fertilization rate,and testosterone levels.Testicular tissues from both of groups were subjected to transeriptomic sequencing(RNA-seq).And qRT-PCR was used to validate the expression of genes.Results Compared to male zebrafish in ND group,the ones in HFD group exhibited hepatic steatosis and glucose/lipid meta-bolic disorders(P＜0.05).Testicular structural disorganization,along with reduced testosterone levels,decreased gonadosomatic in-dex,and impaired sperm concentration and motility occurred in HFD group(P＜0.05).GO analysis revealed that differentially ex-pressed genes were enriched in spermatogenesis and ciliary system,while KEGG analysis highlighted metabolic related pathways(pu-rine metabolism,thyroid hormone synthesis,mTOR signaling)and cell adhesion molecules.Twenty key differentially expressed genes were validated by qRT-PCR,which confirmed the reliability of RNA-Seq results.Conclusion Impairment of reproductive function induced by HFD in zebrafish may be associated with three regulatory mechanisms including ciliary system,metabolic dysregulation,and aberrant cell adhesion molecule signaling.This study provides mechanistic insights and identifies potential therapeutic targets for clinical management of diet-associated infertility.

Postoperative infection of internal fixation of closed fractures the lower limbs in adults represents a devastating complication, characterized by diagnostic challenges, prolonged treatment duration and high disability rates. Current management of these infections faces multiple challenges, such as difficulties in early accurate diagnosis, and various controversies about the treatment plan, leading to poor overall diagnosis and treatment results. To address these issues, based on evidence-based medicine and principles with emphasis on scientific rigor, clinical applicability and innovation, the Trauma Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Orthopedics Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Trauma Orthopedics and Polytrauma Group of the Resuscitation and Emergency Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association have collaboratively organized a panel of relevant experts to develop the Guideline for diagnosis and treatment of infection after internal fixation of closed lower limb fractures in adults ( version 2025). The guideline proposed 10 recommendations, aiming to provide a foundation for standardized diagnosis and treatment of postoperative infection in adults with closed lower limb fractures.

Objective:To identify the key differentially expressed gene, BTF3, in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma(cSCC)using bioinformatics methods and to preliminarily explore the potential mechanisms of BTF3 and its co-expressed genes in cSCC development. Methods:The cSCC-related datasets(GSE98767, GSE42677, GSE45164)were obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database.Differential expression analysis revealed BTF3 as a significantly differentially expressed gene in cSCC.A BTF3-related co-expressed gene network was constructed and subjected to gene ontology(GO)enrichment analysis to investigate the biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components that were significantly enriched.The study selected 60 paraffin-embedded tissue samples from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University, collected between 2020 and 2024.This cohort included 30 samples from cSCC patients and 30 samples from patients who underwent excision of melanocytic nevi.Immunohistochemical experiments were conducted to assess the expression of BTF3 in cSCC tissues.Additionally, single-sample gene set enrichment analysis(ssGSEA)was performed to assess the relevance of BTF3 to immune cells, and protein-protein interaction(PPI)analysis was employed to identify critical gene networks. Results:BTF3 was significantly overexpressed in cSCC, as confirmed by immunohistochemistry.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve indicated that BTF3 exhibited moderate classification accuracy.Co-expression analysis revealed that positively correlated genes with BTF3 included EIF3E and HSPA14, while negatively correlated genes included SZRD1 and ARHGEF2.GO analysis demonstrated that BTF3 was enriched in biological processes such as glucose metabolism, signaling in response to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)damage, endogenous apoptotic signaling pathways, platelet morphogenesis, and platelet formation.Additionally, ssGSEA indicated a significant association of BTF3 with memory B cells and a notable correlation with low CD56-expressing natural killer cells. Conclusions:BTF3 is significantly overexpressed in cSCC and may represent a promising diagnostic and therapeutic target by influencing key gene networks and modulating the immune microenvironment.

Spine fracture and dislocation are common traumatic spinal conditions that often require surgical intervention due to compromised spinal stability. Surgical approaches include anterior, posterior, and combined anterior-posterior spinal procedures. According to the specific surgical requirements, patients may be placed in the prone position or repositioned between prone and supine positions during surgery. Intraoperative repositioning has become an essential step in patient positioning. However, during repositioning, patients with spinal fracture and dislocation are at increased risk for complications such as hemodynamic instability, nerve injury, and pressure injuries to the skin and soft tissue. Notably, due to the instability of the spinal cord, even minor manipulations can further exacerbate the damage, potentially leading to severe outcomes like paraplegia. Although the current clinical guidelines provide instructive recommendations for standard position, there remains no specific protocols for intraoperative repositioning in patients with spine fracture and dislocation. With a concern for the lack of clinical studies on positioning techniques, risk prevention, and operational norms for special patients, no applicable guidelines or standards are available. A consensus was required to provide clinical reference, meet the requirements of surgical treatment, and minimize the safety risks of patients caused by improper placement of positions. Professional Committee of Operating Room Nursing of Shaanxi Nursing Association organized experts in nursing management and operating room nursing from major hospitals across China to formulate Expert consensus on intraoperative repositioning for patients with spinal fracture and dislocation ( version 2025). The consensus provides 11 recommendations covering pre-repositioning preparation, intraoperative maneuvers, and post-repositioning observation, aiming to provide references for clinical standardization of the intraoperative repositioning process and protection of patients′ safety.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.
