Bisphenol A (BPA) is a kind of exogenous chemicals presenting in the human living environment widely which affects the action of endocrine hormones in the human body. Numerous studies have shown that BPA has reproductive toxicity in the spermatogenic function damage of the testes through a variety of mechanisms such as interfering with endocrine function, inducing oxidative stress, promoting spermatogonial cell apoptosis, destroying the integrity of the blood-testis barrier, and regulating epigenetic inheritance, thereby destroying male fertility. Relevant studies have shown that TCM can improve male fertility by reversing BPA-induced reproductive damage through multi-component, multi-target and multi-mechanisms. However, there is no systematic review on the mechanism of TCM to reduce the reproductive toxicity of BPA. Based on the existing studies, this article will systematically introduce the mechanisms of BPA-induced reproductive impairment in men and the progress of TCM interventions, with a view to providing reference targets and research directions for the development of new Chinese medicines.

ObjectiveTo determine the optimal combination of the effective monomer components "quercetin-kaempferol-abietic acid-boswellic acid" in Fujin Shengjisan for promoting diabetic ulcer （DU） wound healing through uniform design， thereby achieving the modern application of the ancient formula. MethodsFollowing the principle of "uniform design-pharmacodynamic experiment-mathematical modeling and model verification"， the U₁₄（14⁵） uniform design table was adopted.The four monomer components of Chinese medicine were considered as the independent variables， and the proliferation rate of human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVECs） induced by glucose was used as the pharmacodynamic indicator. A mathematical model was constructed using DPS software to correlate the effective monomer components with the pharmacodynamic indicator. The results of uniform design were verified through CCK-8 assay， cell scratch healing， tube formation， Western blot， and Real-time PCR. ResultsAmong the 14 compatibility groups， compared with the high-glucose model group， compound compatibility group 6 showed the strongest proliferation effect and statistical significance （P<0.05）. Four quadratic polynomial regression equations （Y₁-Y₄） were obtained through DPS modeling. Considering the model's fit， stability， and practical application， equations Y₁-Y₃ were selected for the follow-up verification. To ensure experiment reproducibility， group 6 was used for validation. Group 6 and equations Y₁-Y₃ were renamed as compound prescription ① to compound prescription④， respectively， to represent the modern application of the ancient FJSJ Powder through compatibility of monomer components. Verification experiments showed that in the CCK-8， scratch healing， and tube formation assays， the cell viability， wound healing rate， and tube formation number of HUVECs stimulated with 50 mmol·L^-1 glucose were significantly reduced compared with the blank group. Moreover， the expression levels of angiogenesis-related cytokines， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF） and fibroblast growth factor 2 （FGF2）， and CD31 secretion were significantly down-regulated. However， after intervention with compound prescriptions ① to ④， compound prescriptions ① and ③ significantly improved the biological functions of HUVECs induced by 50 mmol·L^-1 glucose. Further analysis of the regression coefficients of compound prescriptions ① and ③， and the relative dose ratios of each monomer component， indicated that abietic acid， quercetin， and boswellic acid promoted angiogenesis of HUVECs in the high glucose environment， with a major effect （positive partial correlation coefficients， all > 0.9）. Abietic acid and boswellic acid， as well as kaempferol and boswellic acid， promoted angiogenesis in HUVECs through interaction （positive partial correlation coefficients）. ConclusionCompound prescriptions ① and ③ are the optimal combinations. They can reverse the inhibitory effects of high glucose， stimulate the proliferation， migration， and tube formation abilities of HUVECs in a high glucose environment， and promote the expression of vascular endothelial growth factorA（VEGFA）， FGF2， and CD31， thereby promoting angiogenesis and facilitating DU wound healing. This finding not only confirms the good reproducibility and feasibility of compound prescriptions ① and ③ but also provides new insights and methods for the rational construction of mathematical models to further study the compatibility theory of Chinese medicine.

Objective:Exploring the association rules of factors influencing high hospitalization costs for cancer patients, providing references for hospitals to optimize medical cost management measures.Methods:In the inpatient case information system of a tertiary general hospital, the medical record homepages of inpatients in the DRG groups of the oncology department in 2022 were obtained. The upper four scores of hospitalization costs was used as the threshold for patient grouping. Patients with hospitalization costs≥this threshold were the high-cost group, while other patients were control group; 12 factors, including age, gender, and admission condition, etc, were considered as potential influencing factors of high hospitalization costs. FP-Growth and Apriori algorithms were used to excavate the potential association rules between the influencing factors of high hospitalization costs. Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of high hospitalization costs.Results:A total of 5 512 hospitalized patients were included, including 1 378 patients in the high-cost group. Thirteen validated strong association rules for factors influencing high hospitalization costs were obtained, of which the rule antecedents included age (≥70 years), number of days in hospital (≥7 days), other diagnoses (≥5), surgery, planned readmission, use of antibiotics, admission (general/critical), living admission score (61~99), level of care (level 1/level 2), non-day ward, criticality during hospitalisation. Logistic regression results showed that all nine influencing factors except gender, use of antibiotics, and readmission plans were independent influences on high hospitalization costs ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The joint application of FP-Growth and Apriori algorithm could effectively explore the association rules of high hospitalization costs for oncology patients. The early warning information mainly included the number of hospitalization days, the number of other diagnoses, surgeries, and so on. It was suggested that medical institutions can reasonably control the high hospitalization costs through clinical pathway management, diagnosis and treatment process reengineering, admission risk assessment, and multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE To observe the current status and influencing factors for the water contamination of humid-ification tanks of ventilators of the patients undergoing invasive mechanical ventilation.METHODS Totally 139 hu-midified water samples were collected from the patients who received invasive mechanical ventilation in The First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from Jul.2024 to Nov.2024.The humidified water samples were collected,cultured and identified on Day 1,3,5 and 7 after humidification tanks replacement.RESULTS Among the 139 samples,25 were tested positive for pathogens,with the positive test rate 17.99％;the positive test rate was highest(33.33％,8/24)in respiratory intensive care unit.The positive test rate was 12.90％on Day 1,18.42％on Day 3,15.00％on Day 5 and 26.67％on Day 7,showing an upward trend.The result of bacterial culture showed that the percentage of isolated Burkholderia cepacia was highest(36.00％).The result of analysis of the related factors for positive test of humidified water samples showed that the sample adding pattern was as-sociated with the isolation rate(P＜0.05).Only 1 case was diagnosed with ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP)after the humidified water was detected with pathogens and varied in the pathogens.CONCLUSIONS There is an association between the status of water contamination of the ventilator humidification tanks and usage duration of humidification tank.It is necessary to attach great importance to the contamination of humidification tanks,carry out standard management,and implement the prevention and control measures in an all-round way.

Objective: Inflammatory cascade reactions play a crucial role in secondary neuronal injury in acute ischemic stroke (AIS). The aim of this study was to explore the correlations between specific serological indicators, early neurological deterioration (END), disease prognosis, and syndrome factors in AIS based on this injury mechanism. Methods: The data for this study were collected from 135 patients with AIS admitted to the emergency department of Fangshan Hospital, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, within 24 h of onset between November 2019 and May 2021. Among these, 29 patients had complete data and experienced END. Additionally, 9 non-END patients were matched from the remaining 90 patients with complete data, resulting in a total of 38 patients for statistical analysis. Statistical methods, including logistic regression and receiver operating curves, were used to analyze the correlation between serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-10 (IL-10), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) within 24 h of END onset, disease prognosis, and syndrome factors. Grouping criteria included END occurrence, presence of syndrome elements on the first and third day post-onset, and prognosis at 90 days post-onset. Results: All 38 cases had onset time of less than 12 h, and there were no significant differences in age, gender, and onset time between the END and non-END groups. The TNF-α serum level within 24 h of onset was not associated with the occurrence of END but was negatively correlated with all-cause mortality at 90 days [0.110; P<0.05). An elevated IL-10 serum level within 24 h of onset showed a strong negative correlation with non-disabling and good functional outcomes at 90 days post-onset (0.110; P<0.05). When the ICAM-1 serum levels exceeded 233 599.500 μg/L and 125 141.500 μg/L, respectively, the susceptibility to endogenous wind and endogenous fire on the third day of onset was 15.364 times and 6.071 times higher, respectively, than that in patients with serum levels below these thresholds. Conclusion As accessible and objective biomarkers, inflammatory serum indicators are closely associated with both disease progression and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome elements. They enhance AIS diagnosis, assessment, and treatment and contribute to a deeper understanding of the role of TCM syndrome differentiation in AIS diagnosis and treatment.

BackgroundIn Sichuan Province， most healthcare institutions providing mental health services have adopted self-developed evaluation indicators for the quality of nursing care in psychiatric closed wards， lacking unified standards. This results in insufficient authority and homogeneity， which is unfavorable for the standardized assessment and continuous improvement of nursing quality. ObjectiveTo construct a standardized evaluation indicator system for nursing quality of psychiatric closed wards in Sichuan Province， so as to provide references for nursing quality management and assessment. MethodsBased on bio-psycho-social medical model and guided by "Structure-Process-Outcome" quality evaluation framework， preliminary evaluation indicators for nursing quality in psychiatric closed wards were developed through literature analysis， research team discussions and clinical experience. Through two rounds of Delphi expert consultation， the indicators were revised and finalized. ResultsThe response rates for two rounds of Delphi expert consultation questionnaire were 100%. The expert authority coefficients were 0.845 and 0.864， respectively， and the Kendall's coordination coefficients ranged from 0.119 to 0.210 （P<0.01）. Ultimately， a nursing quality evaluation index system for psychiatric closed wards was established， comprising 3 first-level indicators， 9 second-level indicators and 46 third-level indicators. ConclusionThe nursing quality evaluation indicators for psychiatric closed wards constructed based on the Delphi method can provide references for nursing quality management and evaluation in such wards. ［Funded by Research Project Fund of Sichuan Nursing Society （number， H20004）； Sichuan Hospital Association Hospital Management Research Special Fund （number， YG2323）］

Background The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region is a vast area with a wide array of ecological environments, resulting in considerable regional variations in air pollution characteristics. Current research is limited by a scarcity of systematic, region-wide studies and risk assessments. Objective To assess the health risks associated with inhalation exposure to nine heavy metal and metalloid elements in atmospheric fine particulate matter (PM_2.5) for the population of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Methods From the 10th to the 16th of each month throughout 2023, atmospheric PM_2.5 samples were collected at designated monitoring sites in 12 leagues (cities) across the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to analyze the characteristics and trends in concentration. The health risk assessment model developed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency was employed to evaluate both the non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic risks associated with the heavy metal elements beryllium (Be), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), hydrargyrum (Hg), plumbum (Pb), manganese (Mn), and nickel (Ni) and the metalloid elements stibium (Sb) and arsenic (As). Results In 2023, a total of 1206 valid PM_2.5 samples were analyzed from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The annual average PM_2.5 concentrations in Inner Mongolia, as well as in the cities of Ordos, Wuhai, and the Alxa League, all exceeded the national limit of 35 μg·m⁻³. The PM_2.5 concentrations across the leagues (cities) exhibited a clear seasonal variation, peaking in winter, followed by spring, and reaching a minimum in summer and autumn. The median PM_2.5 concentration in Ordos throughout the year was higher than that in the other leagues (cities) of the region. Concerning health risks, the non-carcinogenic risks associated with the 9 elements detected in each league (city) were all below 1, indicating acceptable levels. However, the non-carcinogenic risk values for Mn, Cr, and As were relatively high; specifically, Ordos City displayed the highest non-carcinogenic risk values for Mn (7.74×10⁻¹) and Cr (2.97×10⁻²), while Chifeng City recorded the highest value for As (2.34×10⁻³). The carcinogenic risk values for As, Cd, Cr, and Ni fell within the range of 1×10⁻⁹ to 1×10⁻⁵, representing an acceptable level. The health risks varied with age, and the elderly residents faced the highest non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks. Conclusion While the carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks from heavy metals and metalloids within atmospheric PM_2.5 in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region are generally within acceptable limits, the potential risks that Mn, As, and Cr pose to the health of elderly people warrants particular attention, and Ordos and Chifeng cities exhibit notably higher health risks among other areas. It is recommended that regular, long-term monitoring be conducted, taking into account the specific conditions at monitoring sites across each league (city), and that targeted air quality management strategies be implemented to protect public health.
