ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of action of Jiedu Huayu granules in improving liver injury in mice with acute liver failure （ALF） by observing its effect on a mouse model of ALF after prophylactic administration， and to provide a basis for clinical medication. MethodsA total of 60 specific pathogen-free male C57BL/6J mice were divided into normal group， model group， Jiedu Huayu granules group （JDHY group）， and farnesoid X receptor （FXR） agonist （GW4064） group using a random number table， with 15 mice in each group. The model of ALF was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of D-galactosamine combined with lipopolysaccharide. The mice in the JDHY group were given prophylactic administration of 0.3 g/mL drug solution of Jiedu Huayu granules by gavage for 3 days before modeling， those in the normal group and the model group were given 0.9% NaCl solution by gavage， and those in the GW4064 group were given intraperitoneal injection of GW4064 for 3 consecutive days before modeling. The mice were sacrificed after modeling， and serum and liver tissue samples were collected. A veterinary automatic biochemical analyzer was used to measure the serum levels of total bilirubin （TBil）， total bile acids （TBA）， gamma-glutamyl transferase （GGT）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， and aspartate aminotransferase （AST） in mice from each group； HE staining was used to observe liver pathological changes； RT-PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of FXR， fibroblast growth factor 15 （FGF15）， fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 （FGFR4）， small heterodimer partner （SHP）， and bile salt export pump （BSEP） in mice， and Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of FXR， FGF15， FGFR4， SHP， and BSEP. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison between groups， and the Dunett method was used for further comparison between two groups. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group had significant increases in the serum levels of TBil， ALT， AST， TBA， and GGT （all P<0.01）， and compared with the model group， the JDHY group and the GW4064 group had significant reductions in the serum levels of TBil， ALT， AST， TBA， and GGT （all P <0.01）. HE staining showed that compared with the model group， the JDHY group and the GW4064 group had milder pathological injury， a reduction in the area of hepatocyte necrosis， and alleviation of cellular swelling and edema. Compared with the normal group， the model group had significant reductions in the mRNA and protein expression levels of FXR， FGF15， FGFR4， SHP， and BSEP in liver tissue （all P <0.01）， and compared with the model group， the JDHY group and the GW4064 group had significant increases in the mRNA and protein expression levels of FXR， FGF15， FGFR4， SHP， and BSEP in liver tissue （all P <0.05）. ConclusionJiedu Huayu granules may alleviate liver injury in mice with ALF through the FXR/SHP axis.

Objective: To establish a real-time quality control scheme based on the median (MD-IC) of internal control cycle threshold value in negative samples (NEG-IC-CT), so as to monitor anomalies such as progressive drift in nucleic acid testing system not covered by conventional internal quality control (IQC) in blood center nucleic acid laboratories, and to verify its feasibility. Methods: The internal control CT values of 54 426 negative samples were retrospectively collected. These samples were from four reagent batches of the two new and old equipment sets during the operation of the Wantai nucleic acid testing system in our blood center. The daily median of NEG-IC-CT values was used as the research indicator. Control limits were calculated using median absolute deviation (MAD) to construct the Median-MAD quality control chart. The monitoring performance of this scheme for the operation status of the testing system was simultaneously evaluated. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant differences in NEG-IC-CT value distribution between the new and old equipment sets, as well as between the two different reagent batches of the old equipment (P<0.000 1). The NEG-IC-CT value performance of the two different reagent batches of the new equipment was no significant difference in distribution (P>0.05). This scheme identified three typies of distinct anomalies. The out-of-control events observed with the old equipment in both the O1 and O2 reagent batches suggested potential performance decay due to equipment aging. The unreported change of reagent batch in time of Phase B with new equipment caused a stepwise drift on the quality control chart. In the later stage of Phase A with the new equipment, an alert was triggered, indicating potential quality risks associated with practices such as the mixed use of the remaining reagents and extremely long operator working hours. Conclusion: The realtime quality control scheme based on NEG-IC-CT value established in this study has been preliminarily validated for its monitoring effectiveness in nucleic acid testing in our blood center. This scheme performed well in detecting differences among testing systems and reagent batches, serving as an effective supplement to routine internal quality control. It can provide an intuitive and effective evaluation method for monitoring the performance of the nucleic acid testing process at blood center.

ObjectiveTo clarify the expression of TRIM28 in non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） and its correlation with clinical indicators and prognosis， and to further explore the effect of TRIM28 expression levels on the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells using small interfering RNA. MethodsThe GSE34577 dataset was analyzed using R software to compare TRIM28 expression between healthy controls and non-M3 acute myeloid leukemia （AML） patients. Clinical samples from non-M3 AML patients were collected， with TRIM28 expression levels measured using real-time quantitative PCR （qPCR）. The analysis focused on correlations between TRIM28 expression and various clinical indicators， treatment efficacy， and patient prognosis. Furthermore， small interfering RNA （siRNA） technology was employed to downregulate TRIM28 expression in human primary AML cells （HL60 cell line）. The effects on cell proliferation and apoptosis were then assessed through CCK-8 assays and flow cytometry， respectively. ResultsThe results showed that TRIM28 was up-regulated in non-M3 AML of both online database GSE34577 and clinical samples （P<0.000 1）， TRIM28 expression of new diagnosis group and relapsed refractory group was higher than iron deficiency anemia group （P<0.01）， and there was no significance between different French-American-British classification systems subtype. TRIM28 expression was higher in non-M3 AML patients with a poor genetic prognosis stratified as moderate than in the good prognosis group， and TRIM28 expression was associated with NPM1 combined with the FLT3-ITD mutation， positively correlated with age， bone marrow blast， peripheral blood blast and white blood cell， negatively correlated with hemoglobin. In addition， interference TRIM28 greatly inhibited cell proliferation and promoted cell apoptosis. ConclusionThis study reveals that TRIM28 is highly expressed in non-M3 AML and associated with prognosis， and plays a key role in the proliferation and apoptosis of AML cells， suggesting that TRIM28 may serve as a novel therapeutic target for non-M3 AML.

Perilla leaf volatile oil is rich in monoterpenes, aromatic compounds, and other active constituents, with perillaldehyde as its characteristic marker, exhibiting a wide range of pharmacological activities including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor effects. In recent years, systematic studies have been conducted on its chemical composition and pharmacodynamic basis. The methods for content determination have become increasingly sophisticated, with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and other techniques being widely applied for comparative analysis of samples from different sources; however, the results are influenced by multiple factors such as germplasm variation, growth stage, and extraction process. Regarding the biosynthetic pathway, key enzyme genes involved in the mevalonate and shikimate pathways are being progressively elucidated. In terms of bioactivity, in vivo and in vitro experiments have confirmed that its volatile oil components exert synergistic effects through multi-target mechanisms, with applications extended to food preservation, flavor and fragrance industry, and pharmaceutical field. The research progress on the biosynthesis, content determination, and bioactivities of volatile oil components from perilla leaves was reviewed, aiming to further clarify the active material basis and mechanisms of action, and to provide a reference for more in-depth exploration and utilization of the medicinal and edible value of Perilla frutescens.

Objective: To analyze the distribution characteristics of school bullying related contents on the Douyin platform, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and intervention of school bullying in the online environment. Methods: Web crawler technology was employed to collect data related to school bullying from Douyin in May 2025, using 21 keywords including "school violence" and "child being beaten". A dataset comprising video titles, publisher types, and interaction metrics was constructed. After manual screening and classification, the content themes, engagement characteristics, and sentiment tendencies of titles were analyzed. Results: A total of 2 388 valid videos released between January 2019 and May 2025 were included. Physical bullying (767 cases, 32.12%) and verbal bullying (534 cases, 22.36%) were the most common types. Content themes differed significantly across account types ( χ 2=782.85, P <0.01). Official media accounts predominantly focused on case reports ( AR = 14.52 ) and legal updates ( AR =5.49), and social media influencer accounts preferred scenario reenactments ( AR =4.07) and film clips ( AR =3.83), while ordinary users focused on coping strategies ( AR =8.76). Account types had a stronger effect on engagement metrics than content themes (all P <0.01). Sentiment analysis of titles revealed that official media accounts tended toward negative sentiment ( AR = 6.41), social media influencer accounts toward neutral sentiment ( AR =2.47), and ordinary users toward positive sentiment ( AR =4.44). Keyword analysis showed high frequency terms related to responsible parties such as "children" "parents", and "classmates" , while demand oriented words like "how" were prominent. Conclusions School bullying related contents on Douyin demonstrate significant dissemination stratification by account type, and the dissemination effect is significantly influenced by the type of content publisher. There is a clear public demand for practical guidance on bullying prevention and intervention strategies.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the targets and mechanisms of 7-hydroxyethyl chrysin (7-HEC) in prevention and treatment of high-altitude cerebral edema (HACE) in rats. METHODS: Fifty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, HACE model group, and 7-HEC-treated group (18 rats in each group). Except for the normal control group, rats in the two other groups were exposed to a hypobaric hypoxic chamber simulating a 7000 m altitude for 72 h to establish the HACE model. The 7-HEC-treated group was intraperitoneally injected with 7-HEC (150 mg·kg^－¹·d^－¹) for 3 consecutive days before modeling, while the model group received equivalent isotonic sodium chloride solution. Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) proteomics technology was used to detect differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) with screening criteria set at a fold change >1.2 and P<0.05. Western blotting was used to verify the expression levels of target proteins. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis, and protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis were performed. RESULTS: Compared with the normal control group, 256 DEPs were identified in the HACE model group. Compared with the HACE model group, 87 DEPs were identified in the 7-HEC-treated group. Among them, 19 DEPs that were dysregulated in the HACE model group were restored after 7-HEC intervention, of which seven (HSPA4, Arhgap20, SERT, HACL1, CCDC43, POLR3A, and PCBD1) were confirmed by Western blotting. GO enrichment analysis of the DEPs between the HACE model and 7-HEC-treated groups revealed their involvement in 13 biological processes, five cellular components, and two molecular functions. KEGG pathway analysis indicated associations with the mRNA surveillance pathway, Th17 cell differentiation, serotonergic synapse, RNA polymerase, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, peroxisome, neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction, folate biosynthesis. PPI network analysis demonstrated that HSPA4, POLR3A, and HACL1, which were validated by Western blotting, interacted with multiple signaling pathways and ranked among the top 20 hub proteins by degree value, suggesting their potential role as core regulatory factors. Arhgap20, SERT and PCBD1 also exhibited interactions with several proteins, suggesting their potential as key regulatory proteins, whereas no interactions for CCDC43 were identified. CONCLUSIONS This study applied TMT proteomics to identify seven potential therapeutic targets of 7-HEC for the prevention and treatment of HACE. These targets may be involved in the pathogenesis of HACE through multiple pathways, including maintaining cellular homeostasis, ameliorating oxidative stress, regulating energy metabolism, and reducing vascular permeability.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of multidrug-resistant bacteria in the neonatal intensive care unit of a three-A children's hospital in Henan Province,and to provide reference for ational drug use in clinical practice.METHODS Clinical specimens from hospitalized newborns in neonatal intensive care unit from a three-A children's hospital from Jan.1,2019 to Dec.31,2023 were subjected to etiological exam-ination and drug sensitivity test,and to analyze the distribution and drug resistance of multidrug-resistant bacteri-a in hospitalized newborns.RESULTS During the 5-year period,1139 strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria were i-solated,including 229 gram-positive bacteria(20.11％)and 910 gram-negative bacteria(79.89％).There were 92 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)(accounting for 8.08％),57 strains(accounting for 5.00％)of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococcus epidermidis and 28 strains(accounting for 2.46％)of methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative human Staphylococcus.370 strains(accounting for 32.48)of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CRKP),268 strains(accounting for 23.53％)of extenspectrum β-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and 85 strains(accounting for 7.46％)of K.pneumoniae,there were 767 sputum specimens(67.34％),160 blood specimens from peripheral intravenous puncture and central venous cath-eterization(PICC)(14.05％),63 bronchoalveolar lavage fluid specimens(5.53％),29 secretion specimens(eye and wound secretions)(2.54％),and 120 other specimens(10.54％).K.pneumoniae and E.coli producing su-per-broad spectrum β-lactamase,CRKP and MRSA were the main drug-resistant bacteria.CONCLUSION The sit-uation of drug resistance in neonatal intensive care unit is serious,therefore monitoring bacterial resistance should be strengthened according to the clinical laboratory results,and antibiotics should be applied rationally.

Objective:To explore the current therapeutic status of rhythm control versus rate control in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation(AF)and the related factors that may influence treatment decisions.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on AF patients aged ≥75 years old who were hospitalized in the Healthcare Department of Beijing Hospital from January 2010 to May 2020.The patients were grouped and compared according to whether they underwent rhythm control or rate control.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the factors that may influence the treatment decision of rhythm control or rate control.Results:A total of 167 patients was included, with a median age of 90 years old.Among them, 21 patients(12.6%)received rhythm control, and 109 patients(65.3%)received rate control.Compared with the group not receiving rhythm control, the rhythm control group had a younger age, higher BMI, higher diastolic blood pressure, a higher proportion of multiple medication use, a lower proportion of chronic kidney disease stage 3 or above, and higher hemoglobin levels(all P<0.05). Compared with the group not receiving rate control, the rate control group had a lower proportion of paroxysmal AF, a faster resting ventricular rate, a higher proportion of smoking history, a higher proportion of multiple medication use, coronary heart disease, pacemaker treatment, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or asthma, and a lower proportion of cognitive impairment(all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that multiple drug use( OR=11.578, 95% CI: 1.341-99.993, P=0.026)was positively associated with rhythm control therapy, while chronic kidney disease stage 3 or above( OR=0.248, 95% CI: 0.063-0.968, P=0.045)was negatively associated with rhythm control therapy.For rate control therapy, multiple drug use( OR=5.056, 95% CI: 2.253-11.347, P<0.001), resting ventricular rate( OR =1.033, 95% CI: 1.005-1.062, P=0.021), and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and/or asthma( OR=2.739, 95% CI: 1.124-6.672, P=0.027)showed positive associations. Conclusions:The application rate of rhythm control therapy is low in elderly AF patients, and ventricular rate control is the main treatment.Complex clinical conditions are the main constraints, and it is urgent to optimize individualized strategies based on prospective studies and develop new treatment techniques to improve clinical practice.

Objective:To observe any therapeutic effect of repeated high-frequency transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on patients with medication overuse headache (MOH).Methods:Fifty-seven persons with MOH were divided at random into a control group of 29 cases and an rTMS group of 28 cases. Both groups of patients stopped taking analgesics and were treated with topiramate and trazodone. The rTMS group received an additional 20 minutes of rTMS treatment daily, 5 days a week for 8 consecutive weeks. The control group received sham stimulation. Before and after the treatment, both groups′ headache symptoms, disability, depression, anxiety, cognition and sleep quality were evaluated using a visual analog scale (VAS) for pain, a migraine disability assessment scale (MIDAS), the Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), the Hamilton depression scale (HAMD), the Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA) and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI). Auditory event-related potential P300 was also measured for both groups.Results:After the treatment, the average VAS, MIDAS, HAMD, HAMA and PSQI scores of both groups had decreased significantly. The HAMD, HAMA and PSQI average scores of the rTMS group were then significantly better than the control group′s averages. The average MoCA score of the rTMS group had also improved significantly. The average latency of the auditory event-related potential P300 in the rTMS group was then (368.25±9.25)ms and its amplitude was (6.62±1.40)μV, showing significant improvement compared to before the treatment and compared with the control group.Conclusions:On the basis of oral administration of topiramate and trazodone, additional high-frequency rTMS treatment can significantly alleviate anxiety and depression in MOH patients, and improve their sleep quality and the latency and amplitude of event-related potential P300.
