BackgroundPatients with bipolar disorder exhibit persistent cognitive impairment across multiple domains, including executive function, memory, and attention. Furthermore, those with mixed features tend to have a poorer prognosis. Currently, research evidence regarding the characteristics of cognitive function and event-related potential P300, as well as their correlation, in patients with depressive episodes of bipolar disorder with mixed features remains limited. ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between cognitive function and event-related potential P300 in patients with depressive episodes of bipolar disorder with mixed features, analyze the influencing factors of cognitive function, so as to provide references for the improvement of cognitive function in this subtype of patients. MethodsA total of 73 patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive episodes of bipolar disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5) were enrolled from the outpatient and inpatient departments of Tianjin Anding Hospital from November 2021 to April 2024. The Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item(HAMD-17) was used to assess the severity of depressive symptoms, and the Clinically Useful Depression Outcome Scale Supplemented with Questions for the DSM-5 Mixed Features Specifier (CUDOS-M) was used to evaluate whether patients presented with mixed features. Based on the CUDOS-M total scores, patients were divided into two groups: the mixed features group (n=34) and the non-mixed features group (n=39). The MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB) was used to assess cognitive function, and auditory event-related potential P300 testing was performed. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the correlations between P300 indicators and MCCB scores. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to investigate the influencing factors of cognitive function. ResultsPatients with depressive episodes of bipolar disorder with mixed features had a longer total illness duration than those without mixed features, and the difference was statistically significant (t=2.030, P<0.05). Analysis of covariance showed that the MCCB scores for processing speed, attention/vigilance, and reasoning and problem solving were all lower in the mixed features group than those in the non-mixed features group (F=3.650, 3.520, 4.213, P<0.01). However, no significant difference was found between the two groups in P300 latency or amplitude (P>0.05). Correlation analysis revealed that the MCCB attention/vigilance score was negatively correlated with P300 latency in patients with depressive episodes of bipolar disorder with mixed features (rs=-0.576, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that, in the mixed features group, years of education positively predicted processing speed (β=0.378, P<0.05), while P300 latency (β=-0.699, P<0.01) and age (β=-0.424, P<0.01) negatively predicted attention/vigilance function. ConclusionPatients with depressive episodes of bipolar disorder with mixed features have a longer illness duration and more severe impairment in three cognitive domains: processing speed, attention/vigilance, and reasoning and problem solving. P300 latency may be an influencing factor of attention/vigilance function in patients with depressive episodes of bipolar disorder with mixed features [Funded by Tianjin Key Medical Discipline Construction Project (number, TJYXZDXK-3-015B); Hospital-level Scientific Research Project of Tianjin Anding Hospital (number, ADYKHT2021010)]

Objective We reviewed and analyzed the epidemiological data of 83 imported dengue fever cases reported in Fengtai District, Beijing, from 2007 to 2025, to delineate their epidemiological characteristics and guide the dengue fever prevention and control strategy in the future. Methods Data on dengue fever cases in Fengtai District from 2007 to 2025 were collected to identify the epidemic factors and characteristics using descriptive epidemiological method. Results All 83 dengue fever cases reported in this region over the past two decades have been imported from abroad or other domestic areas, with Southeast Asian countries being identified as the primary source of imported infections, accounting for 42 cases (50.60%), followed by 15 cases (18.07%) from Chinese provinces other than Beijing. The remaining import sources included 13 cases from South Asia,8 from African countries, and each from Oceania, South America, and Europe. Disease onset was found concentrated between May and November. The sex ratio (male-to-female) is 1.59:1. The age of onset ranged from 14 to 61 years old, with a median age of 36. The largest proportion of cases was observed among cadres and office workers (31 cases, 37.35%), followed by businessmen (13 cases, 15.67%), and householders or the unemployed (10 cases,12.05%). Travel visit was identified as the primary reason for their exposure history. Conclusions All dengue fever cases reported in Fengtai from 2007 to 2025 were imported, with an increasing trend of imported cases in Beijing originating from other Chinese provinces. It is essential to strengthen health education for foreign travelers and returning residents, enhance clinical diagnosis and treatment training for medical personnel, eliminate mosquito breeding sites, and reduce mosquito density through active patriotic health campaigns.

Functional dyspepsia (FD), characterized by persistent or recurrent dyspeptic symptoms without identifiable organic, systemic or metabolic causes, is an increasingly recognized global health issue. The objective of this guideline is to equip clinicians and nursing professionals with evidence-based strategies for the management and treatment of adult patients with FD using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The Guideline Development Group consulted existing TCM consensus documents on FD and convened a panel of 35 clinicians to generate initial clinical queries. To address these queries, a systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), VIP Database, China Biology Medicine (SinoMed) Database, Wanfang Database, Traditional Medicine Research Data Expanded (TMRDE), and the Traditional Chinese Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System (TCMLARS). The evidence from the literature was critically appraised using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach. The strength of the recommendations was ascertained through a consensus-building process involving TCM and allopathic medicine experts, methodologists, pharmacologists, nursing specialists, and health economists, leveraging their collective expertise and empirical knowledge. The guideline comprises a total of 43 evidence-informed recommendations that span a range of clinical aspects, including the pathogenesis according to TCM, diagnostic approaches, therapeutic interventions, efficacy assessments, and prognostic considerations.

Five new flavan-4-ol glycosides jixueqiosides A-E (1-5) and two new flavan glycosides jixueqiosides F and G (6 and 7), along with twelve known flavan-4-ol glycosides (8-19), were isolated from the roots of Pronephrium penangianum. Comprehensive spectral analyses, X-ray single-crystal diffraction, and theoretical electronic circular dichroism (ECD) calculations established structures and absolute configurations. A single crystal structure of flavan-4-ol glycoside (14) was reported for the first time, while the characteristic ECD and NMR data for all isolated flavan-4-ol glycosides (1-5 , 8-19) were analyzed, establishing a set of empirical rules. Activity screening of these isolates showed that 8 and 9 could inhibit the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cells with IC50 values of 7.93 ? 2.85 ?mol?L-1 and 5.87 ? 1.58 ?mol?L-1 (MDA-MB-231), and 2.21 ? 1.38 ?mol?L-1 and 3.52 ? 1.55 ?mol?L-1 (MCF-7), respectively. Western blotting and flow cytometry analyses demonstrated that 8 and 9 dose-dependently induced apoptosis in MDA-MB-231 cells by up-regulating BAX, activating caspase-3 and down-regulating BCL-2. Additionally, compound 8 affected autophagy-related proteins, increasing the ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I and Beclin-1 levels to inhibit MDA-MB-231 cell proliferation. Moreover, anti-inflammatory studies indicated that 2, 3, 7, 13, 14, and 18 moderately inhibited tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and nitric oxide (NO) release.

This study compared the chemical composition differences among various root tissues of Astragalus membranaceus through optimization of histochemical localization methods, thereby providing some reference for targeted extraction and enrichment of bioactive components. The chloral hydrate permeabilization technique was enhanced with sodium nitrite-aluminum nitrate-sodium hydroxide reagent for flavonoid staining. Comparative analyses of total saponins, total flavonoids, and astragaloside IV content in xylem, phloem, and periderm tissues were performed using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). By optimizing staining protocols, interference from natural pigmentation was successfully eliminated, thereby enhancing the visualization of tissue-specific chemical distribution. Quantitative analysis revealed that the phloem contained the highest total saponins (6.92%), while the periderm exhibited peak total flavonoids (0.876%) and exclusive enrichment of astragaloside IV (0.850%). The refined histochemical localization method enables precise characterization of phytochemical distribution across root tissues, which can offer guidance for selective extraction and enrichment strategies, and comprehensively promote the utilization and development of Astragalus membranaceus resources.
