Based on the theory of "shaoyang（少阳） resembling the pivot" and collateral diseases， this article proposes that pulmonary fibrosis （PF） can be divided into three stages including wind bi （痹）， constraint bi， and atrophy bi. The core pathogenesis of PF is the obstruction of the pivot and pulmonary collateral obstruction. In terms of treatment， the basic principles are to harmonize and regulate the pivot， and to promote the circulation of the lung collaterals. Depending on the different characteristics of the "essence-attribute-function"， treatment methods such as harmonizing and regulating the pivot， resolving phlegm and removing stasis， supplementing deficiency and harmonizing collaterals are suggested. This approach ensures the regulation of the pivot， smooth circulation of qi and blood， unblocking of the lung collaterals and nourishing the lung body， achieving the goals of balancing the ascending and descending of qi， removing phlegm and stasis， and relieving cough and wheezing.

Objective To explore the impact of suture configuration and fixation type on the biome-chanical strength of rotator cuff repair,using a factorial design study.Methods Sixteen fresh-frozen porcine shoulder samples were randomized into an anchorless double-row suture bridge transosseous su-tures(DS)group,an anchored double-row suture bridge transosseous-equivalent(DE)group,an an-chorless X-BOX construct transosseous sutures(XS)group,and an anchored X-BOX construct transos-seous-equivalent(XE)group,each of four,according to suture configuration(double-row suture bridge,traditional X-BOX construct)and fixation type(suture anchors,transosseous sutures).Then,their fatigue resistance(first-cycle excursion,gap length difference ratio,and the percentage of ex-posed footprints)and the failure strength(the maximum failure load and the re-tear type)were mea-sured using a biomechanical material testing machine.Results Different suture configurations affected failure strength(F=39.559,P<0.001),with the double-row suture bridge groups(693.07±58.35 N,746.76±138.57 N)showing significantly higher failure strength,compared to the traditional X-BOX groups(462.90±18.91 N,421.43±90.76 N).However,the fixation type did not significantly im-pact failure strength(F=1.161,P=0.302).Moreover,the suture configuration influenced the gap differ-ence ratio(F=7.781,P=0.016),but had no significant correlation with other fatigue resistance indica-tors(P>0.05).Meanwhile,failure strength and fatigue resistance were not correlated with fixation type,and the interaction between suture and fixation type(P>0.05).The incidence of failure types for the four suture configurations was as follows:Type I tendon tear:XS>XE>DS=DE;type II tendon tear:DS>XE>XS=DE;fixing material-related failure:DE>DS=XE=XS.Conclusion The failure strength and gap formation ratio in rotator cuff repair under fatigue loading are influenced by suture configuration,whereas no significant association has been observed with respect to fixation method,whether using transosseous sutures or suture anchors.

Objective To design a night vision simulation training system to provide pilots with practical training on ground night vision goggles.Methods The system had its hardware composed of a control stick,a throttle lever,rudder pedals,a head-up display(HUD),a control box,a computer,a projector and a screen.The HUD and control box were designed using night vision-compatible lighting technology to simulate the ambient light conditions pilots experienced when flying with night vision goggles.The software of the system consisted of five ones developed with C++programming languge for visual scene simulation,instrument simulation,flight performance simulation,integrated management control and cockpit manage-ment.Night vision images and computer-rendered images of typical scenes with varying brightness levels were collected.Objective image evaluation metrics such as contrast and brightness were used as inputs,while subjective evaluation data served as outputs to construct and train a support vector machine(SVM)model.Totally 30 typical night vision training scenarios were selected based on model validation and optimization to evaluate the system's optical fidelity.Results The average fidelity score for the 30 typical night vision training scenarios was 8.05,indicating that the system could realistically simulate terrain and landscapes under various lighting and weather conditions during night flights and static and dynamic targets in the air,on the ground and at sea.Conclusion The system meets the desired requirements and effectively facilitates night vision training for pilots.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(3):21-26]

Aim To investigate the protective effect of Siwu decoction(SWD)on immune injury induced by 60Coγ-rays in mice and the related mechanism.Meth-ods C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into six groups:Control group(Control),Model group(Mod-el),Siwu decoction low-dose group(SWD-L),Siwu decoction medium-dose group(SWD-M),Siwu decoc-tion high-dose group(SWD-H)and resveratrol positive group(Resveratrol,Res).The drug was continued to be administered 11 days before and after irradiation,with a single whole-body irradiation of 4 Gy,and all in-dexes were detected three days after irradiation.The changes of peripheral blood and organ indexes were de-tected.Serum levels of cytokine interferon gamma(IFN-γ),interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β),IL-2,IL-4,IL-6,IL-10,IL-17,transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β),tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,and immunoglobulin A(IgA),IgG,IgM,and complement protein 3(C3),C4 content were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).B lymphocytes,T lymphocytes,NK cells in spleen and T lymphocytes in thymus were de-tected by flow cytometry.The pathological changes of spleen and thymus were analyzed by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining.The expression of Sirt 1 protein in spleen after radiation was detected by immunofluores-cence staining.The protein contents of Sirt1,PI3K,Akt,p-Akt and mTOR in spleen were detected by Western blot assay.Results SWD could significantly increase LYMPH％and reduce pathological injury of spleen and thymus.Flow cytometry showed that SWD could significantly increase the percentage of CD19+B lymphocytes in spleen,decrease the percentage of NK lymphocytes and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+in spleen and thymus.ELISA results showed that SWD signifi-cantly inhibited the expression of IL-1 β,IL-2,IL-6,IL-17,IFN-γ,TGF-β,TNF-α,and increased the content of anti-inflammatory factors IL-4 and IL-10.At the same time,SWD significantly inhibited the increase of IgA,IgG,IgM,C3 and C4 induced by radiation.The results of immunofluorescence staining and Western blot showed that SWD could decrease the expression of PI3K,Akt,p-Akt and mTOR protein,and enhance the expression of Sirt1 protein.Conclusions SWD has obvious preventive effect on immune damage induced by 60Co gamma radiation in mice.The mechanism may be related to Sirt1-PI3K-Akt-mTOR.

Freeze-drying technique,also known as lyophilization,is a process of removing moisture from a solution or suspension through freezing and vacuum dehydration to maintain the stability of the samples and prolong their shelf life.Freeze-drying technology has been widely used in food,pharmaceutical,clinical testing,chemical and other fields but its application in the field of forensic medicine has just started.Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and its derivative detection technologies are widely used in forensic DNA detection,but PCR reagents need to be stored and transported at low temperature.In recent years,forensic scientists have begun applying freeze-drying technology to PCR amplification reagents to solve the transportation and storage problems of PCR reagents.In order to promote the application of PCR freeze-drying technology in forensic genetics,this paper mainly expounds the research course,system and process of PCR freeze-drying technology,compares the advantages and disadvantages of PCR reagents with traditional PCR reagents,and introduces the advantages and challenges of PCR freeze-drying reagents in forensic medicine.

As the world's second largest vector of pathogens,ticks can spread a variety of pathogens by sucking the host's blood.Ticks not only threaten human life and health,but also cause great economic losses in animal husbandry.Artificial breeding of ticks can provide a stable environment for the growth and reproduction of ticks,thereby generating sufficient exper-imental materials for understanding ticks'biological characteristics,studying tick-borne pathogens,and developing anti-tick drugs and vaccines.Current methods of breeding ticks in the laboratory can be roughly divided into two categories:breeding methods using host animals or artificial membranes.The selection of breeding method must be comprehensively considered,ac-cording to tick types,blood-sucking habits,living environments,and other aspects.The development processes of the two methods,and their respective advantages and disadvantages,are described and discussed,to assist laboratories in artificial breeding of ticks.

An integrated extraction-purification process was established in this work for efficient phycocyanin production from dried Spirulina platensispowder.Initially,phycocyanin was extracted from algal biomass using a combined swelling-enzymatic lysis strategy.Single-factor experiments were carried out to systematically evaluate the effects of critical parameters,including system pH,enzymatic hydrolysis duration,and temperature,on phycocyanin extraction yield.Subsequently,a three-factor,three-level Box-Behnken response surface methodology design was employed to optimize the extraction process,with phycocyanin concentration and purity in the extract serving as response variables.A predictive regression model identified optimal conditions as follows:pH 6.4,hydrolysis time 3.2 h,and temperature 35.4℃.Experimental validation under these conditions yielded a phycocyanin recovery of 26.6%.Following extraction,purification was achieved via a polyethylene glycol-phosphate aqueous two-phase extraction system,which elevated the final purity to 4.21.Results demonstrated that the swelling-enzymatic lysis approach effectively disrupted algal cellular structures,significantly enhancing phycocyanin release efficiency.Concurrently,the aqueous two-phase system enabled selective partitioning and enrichment of the target protein under mild conditions.The integrated process exhibited high extraction efficiency,gentle purification,and robust operability,rendering it suitable for the scalable production of natural phycocyanin.This work provided both methodological foundations and technical support for advancing phycocyanin applications in natural pigments,biomedicine,and analytical detection.

Objective To establish a rapid screening and analysis method for etomidate and its ana-logues using a portable mass spectrometer equipped with a thermal desorption-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source-linear ion trap.Methods A 10 μL aliquot of a standard solution at a con-centration of 1 μg/mL was taken,and after the solvent evaporated,the sample was inserted into the in-let of the portable mass spectrometer for detection.By adjusting the collision-induced dissociation pa-rameters,the molecular ion peak and fragment ion peak information of the standard were obtained and used to establish a reference database.In addition,the method was applied to 29 seized liquid and plant samples.Results A screening system for etomidate and its analogues was established based on the portable mass spectrometer and the corresponding mass spectrometry library.The system enables qualitative screening analysis by identifying primary protonated molecular ions and secondary product ions of etomidate and its analogues.The limits of detection for etomidate and its 12 analogues ranged from 0.1 to 10 μg/mL.Etomidate and its analogues were detected in all 29 liquid and plant samples.However,this method could not distinguish between isomeric imidazole esters,such as isopropoxate and propoxate.Additionally,when testing 2-SH-etomidate,there was a false positive for the detection of etomidate.Conclusion This study established a rapid screening method for etomidate and its ana-logues using a portable mass spectrometer.The method combines the high sensitivity of mass spectrome-try with the on-site applicability of portable devices,significantly improving detection efficiency and meeting the on-site detection needs of etomidate and its analogues.
