Based on the theory of collateral disease， the treatment of late-stage sequela of cerebrovascular disease is considered to be primarily associated with deficiency and obstruction of cerebral collaterals and dysfunction of the spirit mechanism. Therefore， the fundamental therapeutic principle is to unblock and supplement the brain collaterals. Clinically， the late-stage sequelae of cerebrovascular disease are classified into four patterns， which are malnourishment， deficiency-heat， stasis obstruction， and phlegm clouding of brain collaterals. These are treated respectively with Tiansui Tongqiao Decoction （填髓通窍汤） to supplement essence and nourish the brain through moistening， unblocking and supplementing， Qingnao Touluo Decoction （清脑透络汤） to enrich yin， regulate spirit， and unblock collaterals through clearing and penetrating， Yiqi Tongluo Decoction （益气通络汤） to tonify qi and resolve stasis while softening tendons and unblocking collaterals， and Xinrun Touqiao Beverage （辛润透窍饮） to unblock and tonify yin and yang while unblocking the collaterals through acrid-moistening medicinals. Flexible modification of prescriptions according to individual symptoms was applied， resulting in favorable therapeutic outcomes.

Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)are porous materials composed of metal ions or metal clusters and organic ligands by coordination,which have the advantages of large specific surface area,good thermal stability and adjustable pore size,and have a promising application in gas chromatographic separation.In recent years,MOFs materials have been used as stationary phases for gas chromatography mainly including ZIF,MIL,UiO-66,HKUST-1,IRMOFs,etc.Based on the molecular sieve effect,van der Waals forces,hydrogen bonding and π-π interactions,the pore size,pore microenvironment,unsaturated metal site and special functional group of the MOFs stationary phase materials can be specifically designed and regulated.MOFs materials as stationary phases have unique separation performance for n-alkanes and their isomers,aromatic compounds and their isomers,alcohols/ketones/aldehydes and their isomers,and chiral compounds.The combination of organic polymers and novel nanomaterials with MOFs materials can improve the separation performance and stability of MOFs.Therefore,MOFs materials are expected to be the promising stationary phase that can be applied to gas separation in complex environments.In this article,the research advances of various stationary phases based on MOFs for gas chromatography in recent years were reviewed.The separation performance and separation mechanism of MOFs stationary phases for mixed gas samples were discussed,and the development trends in the future were prospected.

With the increasing demand for dynamic,real-time and rapid qualitative analysis of chemical composition in areas such as emergency response and space exploration,chip-scale mass spectrometers have attracted significant attention.These devices are expected to drive the integration of mass spectrometry with micro/nano-fabrication and intelligent sensing technologies,fostering profound innovation and breakthroughs in analytical chemistry.As an excellent mass analyzer,the ion trap exhibits numerous advantages,and its miniaturization creates favorable conditions for the high-density integration of miniature mass spectrometers.However,the reduction in ion storage capacity may compromise its sensitivity and dynamic range,rendering the study of ion unidirectional ejection in highly miniaturized ion traps of significant practical importance.In this work,a research was conducted on achieving efficient ion unidirectional ejection while maintaining high mass resolution in the extremely miniature hyperbolic linear ion trap(M-HLIT)with a field radius of 1 mm,and an electric field compensation method was proposed,which combined asymmetric electrode stretching and unbalanced RF voltage to achieve high-precision optimization of the electric field composition.Simulations showed that in an ideal structure,this method achieved 100％unidirectional ejection efficiency with the mass resolution of 518,significantly outperforming traditional asymmetric structure method(365)and unbalanced voltage method(321).Following the introduction of ion ejection slots,further optimization through bidirectional stretching and electrical parameters improved the resolution to 790 while maintaining a unidirectional ejection efficiency of 93％.This method eliminated the requirement for additional excitation voltage,offering an ideal solution for the miniature mass analyzer with high detection performance of chip-level mass spectrometers.

Objective:To explore the application effect of health education path management model based on cloud platform in the perioperative period of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), and analyze the feasibility of innovative education forms.Methods:Adopting a non synchronous historical control study design.A total of 291 patients who underwent transcatheter radiofrequency ablation in Fuzhou University Affiliated Provincial Hospital from January to June 2023 were selected by convenience sampling. To avoid contamination of research subjects by grouping them according to admission time, 144 patients admitted from January to March 2023 were used as the control group, and 147 patients admitted from April to June 2023 were used as the intervention group.The control group adopted the traditional health education method, and the intervention group adopted the health education path management mode based on the cloud platform.The postoperative recovery (length of hospital stay, time out of bed, surgical complications), the first postoperative bed urination, the degree of health knowledge related to atrial fibrillation, and the patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.Results:There were 101 males and 43 females in the control group, was (61.74 ± 10.63) years old, and 103 males and 44 females in the intervention group, was (62.93 ± 8.79) years old.After the intervention, the hospitalization time of the intervention group was (4.25 ± 1.00) days, which was shorter than that of the control group (6.23 ± 1.16) days, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=5.92, P<0.05). The time of getting out of bed after operation in the intervention group was (6.69 ± 0.84) hours, which was earlier than that in the control group (12.69 ± 1.51) hours, and the difference was statistically significant ( t=25.68, P<0.05). There were 134 cases of no complications in the intervention group and 9 cases of subcutaneous hematoma, 2 cases of medical viscose-related skin injury, 1 case of pneumothorax/hemothorax, and 1 case of acute cerebrovascular event occurred, there were 113 cases of no complications in the intervention group, which had 16 cases of subcutaneous hematoma, 2 cases of medical viscose-related skin injury, 11 cases of pneumothorax/hemothorax, and 2 cases of acute cerebrovascular event, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=12.38, P<0.05).

Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-769-5p in serum exosomes of epithelial ovarian cancer(EOC)and its mechanism of influence on EOC cell proliferation,migration,and invasion.Methods:The expression level of miR-769-5p in serum exosomes from the malignant group,benign ovarian disease group,and healthy control group was detected using reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR).Lipofectamine 3000 transfection was used to construct overexpression and knockdown cell lines,which were divided into four groups:miR-769-5p mimics group,mimics-NC group,miR-769-5p inhibitor group,and inhibi-tor-NC group.The effects of miR-769-5p on cell proliferation,migration,and invasion were assessed using CCK-8,wound healing,and Transwell assays.Transcriptome sequencing was conducted on EOC cells overex-pressing miR-769-5p,and potential target genes were predicted using public databases.The interaction between miR-769-5p and its target gene was validated by dual-luciferase reporter assay.RT-qPCR and Western blotting were used to further confirm the regulatory effect of miR-769-5p on the target gene.Results:The expression level of miR-769-5p in serum exosomes from the malignant group was significantly lower than that in the healthy control and benign ovarian disease groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the mimics-NC group,the miR-769-5p mimics group exhitied lower OD450 values,migration rates,and numbers of invading cells in both SKOV3 and OVCAR3 EOC cell lines(P＜0.05).Compared with the inhibitor-NC group,cells in the miR-769-5p inhibitor group exhibited increased OD450 values,migration rates,and invasion counts(P＜0.05).The dual-luciferase reporter assay showed that co-transfection of miR-769-5p mimics with pEZX-FR02-TFAM-WT significantly reduced the luciferase activity compared to the mimics-NC group(P＜0.01),whereas co-transfection of miR-769-5p mimics with pEZX-FR02-TFAM-MUT showed no significant difference in luciferase activity compared to the control(P＞0.05).These findings indicate that miR-769-5p can directly bind to the 3'-UTR region of TFAM.Furthermore,compared with the mimics-NC group,EOC cells transfected with miR-769-5p mimics showed significantly decreased TFAM mRNA and protein expression levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion:miR-769-5p is significantly downregulated in EOC serum exosomes and may serve as a promising biomarker for early tumor diagnosis.Moreover,miR-769-5p may inhibit the proliferation,migration,and invasion of ovarian cancer cells by targeting TFAM.

Multiple sclerosis(MS)is a chronic central nervous system inflammatory demyelinating disease caused by autoim-mune diseases.Intermittent fasting(IF)is a dietary pattern with periodic energy limitation.Studies have shown that IF can delay the occurrence and development of MS and experimental allergic encephalomyelitis(EAE).Its mechanism of action includes repairing nerve damage,promoting myelin regeneration,regulating gut microbiota,and reversing immune inflammation.The use of IF can re-duce the severity,recurrence time,and lesion size of MS patients clinically,which brings new ideas for the treatment and prevention of MS.This article provides a review of the effects and mechanisms of IF in treating MS,with the aim of gaining new insights into the treatment of MS and providing reference for the application of IF in the treatment of MS patients.

There is a dynamic and progressive relationship in acute pancreatitis(AP),following the principle of Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue transmission in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM).The metabolic disorders prevalent in AP can be attributed to the"turbid tox-in"category in TCM,which runs throughout the disease as causative factors and pathologic products.The abnormal metabolism of sub-tle substances is the initiating factor of Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue transmission.Disorders of energy metabolism lay the pathologic basis of tur-bid evil and stagnant heat in the Qi stage of AP.Changes in the metabolic environment further exacerbate the inflammatory response re-sulting in the exuberance of pathogenic heat and the accumulation of blood stasis and toxins,promoting AP from the Qi division into the Ying-Xue stage.Therefore,we propose that"holding the Qi-fen juncture"and restoring metabolic homeostasis may be the keys to ear-ly truncation of AP disease progression.This paper explores the pathogenesis connotation of Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue transmission in AP from a metabolic perspective combined with the turbid toxin theory,which not only enriches the scientific connotation of Wei-Qi-Ying-Xue syndrome differentiation but also provides new ideas for the prevention and treatment of severe AP with TCM.

Objective To understand the economic losses due to healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in patients after Da Vinci robotic thoracic surgery,and provide basis for preventing and controlling HAI after robotic surgery.Methods Patients who underwent Da Vinci robotic surgery from April 2019 to April 2023 were retrospective stu-died.Patients were divided into HAI group and non-HAI group based on the occurrence of postoperative infection.Through 1∶1 propensity score matching(PSM),31 cases were included in each group,economic losses of two groups of patients were compared.Results A total of 921 patients who underwent Da Vinci robotic thoracic surgery were included in the study,51 cases with HAI(HAI group)and 870 without HAI(non-HAI group).After 1∶1 PSM,31 cases were included in each group.Four covariates were compared between two groups of patients before PSM,namely gender,age,comorbidities,and the American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA)grading,all with statistically significant differences(all P＜0.05).After PSM,distribution of the above covariates reached equilib-rium between the two groups(both P＞0.05).The median total expense for HAI group before PSM during hospi-talization was 88 711.72 Yuan,while 78 509.46 Yuan for the non-HAI group.The direct economic losses caused by HAI after Da Vinci robot surgery was 10 202.26 Yuan,mainly increased by expense of medicine,nursing,laborato-ry diagnosis,etc.Difference in western medicine expense was the highest(8 839.12 Yuan),out of which expense of antimicrobial agents accounted for the highest proportion(73.55％).Difference in daily hospitalization expense between HAI-group and non-HAI group was 502.38 Yuan.Length of hospital stay of patients in HAI group and non-HAI group were(21.59±10.62)and(13.92±9.21)days,respectively,with statistical differences(all P＜0.05).Conclusion The occurrence of HAI in patients undergoing Da Vinci robotic thoracic surgery leads to direct economic losses,with obvious increases in expenses of nursing,laboratory diagnosis,western medicine(mainly an-timicrobial agents).Length of hospital stay of patients also prolongs.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between physical activity and genetic risk and their combined effects on the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. METHODS: This prospective cohort study included 318,085 biobank participants from the UK. Physical activity was assessed using the short form of the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. The participants were stratified into low-, intermediate-, and high-genetic-risk groups based on their polygenic risk scores. Multivariate Cox regression models and multiplicative interaction analyses were used. RESULTS: During a median follow-up period of 13 years, 9,209 participants were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. For low genetic risk, compared to low physical activity, the hazard ratios ( HRs) for moderate and high physical activity were 0.853 (95% confidence interval [ CI]: 0.748-0.972) and 0.831 (95% CI: 0.727-0.950), respectively. For intermediate genetic risk, the HRs were 0.829 (95% CI: 0.758-0.905) and 0.835 (95% CI: 0.764-0.914), respectively. For participants with high genetic risk, the HRs were 0.809 (95% CI: 0.746-0.877) and 0.818 (95% CI: 0.754-0.888), respectively. A significant interaction was observed between genetic risk and physical activity. CONCLUSION Moderate or high levels of physical activity were associated with a lower risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across all genetic risk groups, highlighting the need to tailor activity interventions for genetically susceptible individuals.
