Objective: To quantitatively assess the health risk of preservatives from beverages around primary schools in Anshun City, and to provide scientific basis for precise food safety supervision. Methods: From December 2023 to July 2024, 602 beverage samples were randomly collected from within 100 meters of 19 primary schools in Anshun City. The content of benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and dehydroacetic acid was detected according to GB 5009 series standards. Combined with children s physiological parameters (body weight 30 kg, daily intake 0.15 L), the Hazard Quotient (HQ) and Hazard Index (HI) models were used to evaluate health risks. Results: The total detection rate of preservatives from beverages around primary schools was 63.0%, and the total over limit rate was 9.0%. The detection rate of preservatives in flavored beverages was the highest (72.6%), and the highest over limit rate of preservatives in special purpose beverages was the highest (17.2%). The single preservative HQ (benzoic acid up to 0.47 ) and mixed HI (up to 0.55) of all samples were below 1(safety threshold). However, the HQ value of benzoic acid in flavored beverages (0.47) was 2.9 times that of sorbic acid (0.16), contributing significantly to health risk. Sensitivity analysis showed that if the daily consumption increased to 0.3 L, the HI value of flavored beverages would rise to 1.11, exceeding the safety threshold. Enterprise scale analysis showed that the exceedance rate of special purpose beverages in large enterprises reached 30.0%, while micro enterprises, accounting for a dominant market share (52.2%), constituted the main source of children s daily exposure to their products. Conclusions The overall health risk of perservatives in beverages sold near primary schools in Anshun City is controllable, but there is a noticeable risk of gradient. The risk of children’s exposure to preservatives through beverage consumption should not be ignored.

LIU Wansu， as the foremost of the four great masters of the Jin-Yuan period， established the "theory of fire-heat'' and extended the fire-heat pathogenesis framework to the field of stroke， thereby forming the theory of ''fire-heat inducing stroke''. This achieved a paradigmatic shift in stroke etiology from ''exogenous wind inducing stroke'' to ''fire-heat inducing stroke''. This paper systematically reviews the developmental trajectory of LIU Wansu's ''fire-heat inducing stroke'' theory and explores the social background， academic origins， and core connotations of its theoretical construction. The study found that， based on the ''Nineteen Pathomechanisms'' in the Huangdi's Internal Classic （Huang Di Nei Jing） and combined with clinical practice， LIU Wansu proposed that fire-heat is the fundamental cause of stroke， and that the Six Climatic Factors and the Five Zhi-Emotions can all transform into fire. He further constructed a stratified syndrome differentiation and therapeutic system centered on clearing heat and purging fire， emphasizing differentiated treatment of exterior and interior syndromes， Six Meridians syndrome differentiation， and seasonally adjusted medication. This theory not only resolved the diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas of febrile epidemic diseases during the Jin-Yuan period， but also exerted a profound influence on later physicians such as ZHANG Zihe and ZHU Danxi， thereby promoting the pluralistic development of stroke theory in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. Modern pharmacological research provides solid scientific evidence， confirming that the ''fire-heat'' pathological state is highly associated with key mechanisms such as excessive inflammatory responses， oxidative stress， and excitatory amino acid toxicity following cerebral ischemia. Heat-clearing and fire-purging prescriptions and agents， such as Huanglian Jiedu Tang and baicalin， can exert multi-target neuroprotective effects by regulating inflammatory signaling， enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity， and balancing neurotransmitters. This not only verifies the scientific basis of the ''fire-heat inducing stroke'' theory from a modern biological perspective but also provides conclusive evidence for the clinical application of heat-clearing and fire-purging therapy. LIU Wansu's ''fire-heat inducing stroke'' theory represents a major milestone in the historical understanding of stroke pathogenesis， and its academically transitional insights continue to hold core guiding value for the pattern identification and treatment of ischemic stroke today.

Objective To analyze the influenza-like illness (ILI) data in Ordos City from 2017 to 2023 and conduct nucleic acid detection of the virus to understand the local influenza epidemic situation, and to provide a reliable basis for influenza prevention and control in the city. Methods Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) was used to identify virus subtypes in ILI throat swab samples. Comparisons of positive rates were conducted using the chi-square test, with a significance level of α=0.05. Results From 2017 to 2023, a total of 3,283,434 outpatient and emergency visits were recorded at the Ordos City Central Hospital, including 74,159 ILI cases, with an ILI proportion of 2.26%. The majority of ILI cases (74.43%) occurred in children aged 0~14 years old. The overall positive rate of influenza virus nucleic acid detection was 10.87%, with the highest proportion being subtype A (seasonal H3) at 43.03%. The highest detection rate was observed in the 5~14 years age group, with statistically significant differences in positive rates across age groups (χ²=155.638, P<0.001). Influenza peaks occurred mainly from November to March of the following year. From January to April, three types of influenza were prevalent alternately or mixed, while from October to December, subtype A (seasonal H3) predominated. Positive rates varied significantly across months (χ²=250.923, P<0.001). The temporal trends of ILI proportions and PCR-positive rates were consistent. Conclusion Influenza in Ordos City exhibits distinct seasonal and age distribution characteristics, with alternating or mixed circulation of three virus types. Continued efforts are needed to strengthen influenza surveillance, especially the prevention and control of influenza in infants and adolescents.

AIM:To explore the role of miR-195-5p in mediating trastuzumab resistance in gastric cancer and to validate its potential as a therapeutic target along with its target gene GPRC5A.METH-ODS:Trastuzumab-resistant gastric cancer cell lines(NCI-N87 and MKN45)were established.Cell viabili-ty under trastuzumab treatment was assessed us-ing CCK-8 assays.Expression levels of miR-195-5p were determined by RT-qPCR.Transfection with miR-195-5p mimics was performed to evaluate changes in trastuzumab sensitivity and prolifera-tion.GPRC5A expression was also measured by RT-qPCR,and the targeting relationship between miR-195-5p and GPRC5A was confirmed using a dual-lu-ciferase reporter assay.RESULTS:Parental cells showed higher sensitivity to trastuzumab than re-sistant cells,with miR-195-5p expression signifi-cantly lower in the latter.Overexpression of miR-195-5p in resistant cells enhanced trastuzumab sen-sitivity and reduced proliferation.GPRC5A was found to be upregulated in resistant cells,and miR-195-5p directly targeted GPRC5A,affecting cell pro-liferation under trastuzumab treatment.CONCLU-SION:miR-195-5p may regulate trastuzumab sensi-tivity in gastric cancer by targeting GPRC5A,sug-gesting potential as a molecular marker for trastu-zumab therapy guidance.

Tic disorder is a chronic neuropsychiatric disorder with complex etiology and diverse phenotypes,and its incidence has been increasing significantly in recent years.Most scholars believe that abnormalities in the cortico-striatal-thalamo-cortical circuit and its interconnected brain regions are closely related to the development of tic disorder.Chinese materia medica intervention in tic disorders is characterized by multi-targets,multi-mechanisms and holistic nature,and has a good prospect for research application.This article summarized the experimental studies of TCM compound intervention in tic disorder in recent years,which have shown that TCM compounds could reduce the damage of nerve cells through the regulation of neurotransmitters,inflammatory response,immune function and the"colony-gut-brain axis"to improve and prevent tic disorder,which could provide a reference for the research and development of new medicines for tic disorder and for the clinical research.

Objective To establish a rat model of venous thrombosis in a plateau hypobaric hypoxic environment and to investigate the effect of this environment on venous thrombosis.Methods A total of 144 healthy male SD rats were assigned randomly to four groups(n=36 rats per group):a plains sham operation(A)group,plains operation(B)group,plateau altitude 6000 m+sham operation(C)group,and plateau altitude 6000 m+surgery(D)group.Rats in A and B groups were maintained in a plains normoxic environment,while rats in C and D groups C and D were subjected to a plateau environment.Rats in the surgical groups underwent quantitative constriction to incompletely obstruct the inferior vena cava blood flow.Each group was further divided into subgroups based on time:1,3,5,7,14,and 21 d(n=6 rats per group).Regular vascular ultrasound monitoring was conducted,and blood samples were taken for whole blood viscosity testing and the assessment of inflammatory indicators,including endothelin-1(ET-1),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tissue factor(TF).Coagulation function was evaluated through the activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),fibrinogen(FIB)and D-dimer.After the observation period,the experimental animals were sacrificed and the limbs were removed.Thrombus samples were stained with hematoxylin/eosin(HE),and the thrombus wet mass was measured.Results The thrombosis incidence was significantly higher in the plateau D group than in B group,accompanied by a marked increase in blood viscosity and hematocrit(P＜0.01).Additionally,levels of ET-1,IL-6,and TF were significantly elevated(P＜0.05),indicating a coagulation disorder.Conclusions A plateau hypoxic environment model can be successfully simulated by quantitative coarctation of the inferior vena cava,combined with a specialized environmental chamber.The findings of this study suggest that a plateau hypoxic environment promotes venous thrombosis.

Objective To screen and analyze key genes in rabbit corneal alkali burns based on transcriptomics se-quencing technology and bioinformatics techniques.Methods Thirty healthy male New Zealand rabbits were randomly di-vided into 2 groups(n=15 per group):The control group received no intervention,while the alkali burn group underwent corneal alkali burn modeling.Histological evaluation of corneal tissues was performed via hematoxylin-eosin(HE)stai-ning.Transcriptome sequencing was conducted for library construction and sequencing.Differentially expressed genes(DEGs)were identified using DESeq2,followed by Gene Ontology(GO)functional enrichment analysis and Kyoto Ency-clopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis.A protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed to screen hub genes,and RT-PCR was employed to validate mRNA expression levels of key genes.Results HE staining revealed orderly arranged corneal stromal layers and scattered stromal cells in the control group,whereas the alkali burn group exhibited stromal edema,thickened collagen fibers with loose/disorganized alignment,and increased fibroblast and inflammatory cell infiltration.Compared to the control group,1 827 significant DEGs were identified in the alkali burn group,including 1 495 upregulated and 332 downregulated genes.GO analysis showed biological processes such as immune response,plasma membrane,and identical protein binding.KEGG analysis indicated that DEGs were enriched in pathways related to cancer,lipid and atherosclerosis,and neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction.The PPI network screened 11 key genes:neutrophil cytosolic factor 1(NCF1),neutrophil cytosolic factor 2(NCF2),matrix metallopeptidase 2(MMP2),ma-trix metallopeptidase 9(MMP9),interleukin-1α(IL-1α),interleukin-1β(IL-1β),interleukin-6(IL-6),interleukin-8(CXCL8),cluster of differentiation 4(CD4),C-C motif ligand 2(CCL2)and tumor necrosis factor(TNF).RT-PCR valida-tion revealed that the mRNA expression levels of key genes in the corneal tissues of the alkali burn group were significantly higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.05),consistent with the transcriptomic sequencing results.Conclusion Based on the rabbit corneal alkali burn model,this study identified 11 key genes(NCF1,NCF2,MMP2,MMP9,IL-1α,IL-1β,IL-6,CXCL8,CD4,CCL2 and TNF)through transcriptomics and bioinformatics analysis.

[Purpose]To investigate the choice of medical institutions for the first-treatment of can-cer patients after diagnosis and the factors influencing it,so as to provide a reference basis for the rational allocation of health resources and the promotion of hierarchical diagnosis and treatment of cancer.[Methods]A total of 1 140 common cancer patients from 1 provincial,3 municipal and 6 county-level medical institutions in Shandong Province were included in the study,and a ques-tionnaire survey was conducted on their basic personal information and the selection of medical institutions.Chi-square test and Fisher exact test were used to compare different groups,and mul-ti-classification unordered Logistic regression were used to explore the factors influencing the se-lection of cancer patients.[Results]1 077 valid questionnaires were collected.The selection rates of first-treatment institutions for cancer patients were county hospitals(29.90％),city hospitals(35.28％),and provincial hospitals(34.82％),and the high level of medical care was the main reason for the selection of first-treatment institutions for cancer patients.The results of multi-clas-sification unordered Logistic regression showed that when choosing municipal and county medical institutions as the first treatment institution compared to choosing a county medical institution for the first treatment as a reference,compared to patients with stage Ⅰ tumors,patients with tumor stages at stage Ⅲ(OR=1.789,95％CI:1.014～3.158)and stage Ⅳ(OR=2.005,95％CI:1.179～3.409)were more likely to choose municipal medical institutions;and patients with annual house-hold income of 10 000～＜50 000 CNY(OR=0.625,95％CI:0.414～0.943)were less likely to choose mu-nicipal medical institutions compared to those with an annual household income of＜10 000 CNY.When choosing provincial and county medical institutions as the first treatment institution com-pared to patients in stage Ⅲ(OR=2.885,95％C1:1.549～5.372)and stage Ⅳ(OR=3.104,95％CI:1.724～5.586)compared to patients with stage Ⅰ tumors when choosing a county medical institu-tion for the first treatment was used as a reference;married(OR=2.248,95％CI:1.127～4.484)patients were more likely to choose provincial healthcare organizations than unmarried/divorced/widowed patients;patients with a family history of cancer compared to patients without a family history of cancer(OR=1.650,95％CI:1.115～2.441)were more inclined to choose provincial healthcare institutions;compared with patients＜45 years old,patients over 60 years old(OR=0.483,95％CI:0.242～0.962)were less inclined to choose provincial hospitals;and compared with patients who were not aware of knowledge related to cancer,those who were aware of knowledge related to cancer(OR=0.613,95％CI:0.441～0.852)patients were less inclined to choose provin-cial hospitals.[Conclusion]Vigorously carrying out publicity on cancer prevention and treatment knowledge,improving the cancer prevention and treatment literacy of cancer patients.strengthen-ing vertical cooperation among medical institutions at all levels,improving the provincial-munici-pal-county cancer prevention and treatment network,and promoting the sinking of high-quality medical resources are important ways to improve the cancer prevention and treatment capacity of counties and promote the work of hierarchical medical system.
