Based on the trinity life view of ''physique， Qi， and spirit''， Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang treats the patient's physical symptoms， disorders of Qi movement， and disorders of consciousness， covering the overall treatment and comprehensive nursing of physique， Qi， and spirit. It is widely applied and recognized for its efficacy in modern clinical practice. This paper explored the treatment effect of Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang from the trinity life view of ''physique， Qi， and spirit''. This formula mainly targeted patients with Qi deficiency caused by cold， leading to a syndrome of Qi stagnation and water retention in the Triple Energizer Meridian of Hand Lesser Yang （TE）， as well as fire-heat syndrome in the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yang Brightness （LI） and Stomach Meridian of Foot Yang Brightness （ST）， accompanied by disorder of nutrient-blood and subsequent spirit and soul unrest. Accurately judging the imbalance of the patient's physique， Qi， and spirit and using an appropriate combination of medicinals can achieve balance among the three to achieve the best effect. The treatment strategy of Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang is as follows： For disorders of Qi movement， such as Qi deficiency， Qi stagnation， and gastrointestinal fire-heat， Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Bupleuri Radix-Scutellariae Radix， and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma are used in combination. For physical symptoms such as water retention and disorder of nutrient-blood， Poria-Pinelliae Rhizoma-Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens， as well as Cinnamomi Ramulus-Jujubae Fructus are used in combination. Finally， Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha-Plumbum Rubrum is used to calm the spirit and soothe the soul. According to existing research， Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang has shown good efficacy in treating a variety of complex clinical diseases. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang from the perspective of the trinity life view of ''physique， Qi， and spirit''， offering new insights for clinical syndrome differentiation， treatment， and prescription.

Objective: To explore the association between mental health and muscle strength among Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18, providing a theoretical foundation and intervention strategies for mental health promotion. Methods: Data were obtained from the 2019 Chinese National Survey on Students Constitution and Health, including 98 631 Chinese adolescents aged 13- 18. Psychological distress was assessed by using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), and mental well being was measured with the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well being Scale (WEMWBS). Based on the gender and age specific Z scores of various test items [grip strength, standing long jump, pull ups (for males), and sit ups (for females)], muscle strength index (MSI) was constructed to evaluate the comprehensive level of muscle strength in adolescents. According to the Dual factor Model (DFM) of mental health, participants were categorized into four groups:troubled, symptomatic but content, vulnerable, and complete mental health. Gender differences were analyzed by using Chi-square tests, trends were tested with Cochran-Armitage tests, and multinomial Logistic regression models were applied to assess associations between muscle strength and mental health among adolescents. Results: In 2019, 37.4% of Chinese adolescents aged 13-18 were reported of high mental distress, and 59.9% were reported of low mental well being. Boys had significantly lower rates of high mental distress (35.3%) and low mental well being (55.6%) compared to girls (39.4%, 64.3%), and the differences were of statistical significance ( χ 2=176.13, 780.42, both P <0.05). In 2019, the rate of complete mental health among adolescents showed a downward trend with increasing age ( χ 2 trend = 258.47) and a gradual upward trend with increasing muscle strength levels ( χ 2 trend =123.14)，and both boys and girls exhibited similar trends ( χ 2 trend =103.83, 168.46; 57.00 , 67.34) (all P <0.05). The results of the unordered multiclass Logistic regression model showed that after controlling for confounding factors such as age and gender, when the completely pathological group as a reference, for every 1 unit increase in MSI in adolescents, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 29% ( OR = 1.29); for every unit increase in the Z-score for pull ups, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 6% ( OR =1.06) among boys; for every 1 unit increase in sit up Z score, the likelihood of being in a completely mental health state increased by 19% ( OR =1.19) among girls (all P <0.05). Conclusions The mental health status of Chinese adolescents is not good enough. Muscle strength is positively associated with mental health.

BACKGROUND: Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are metabolites of arachidonic acid catalyzed by cytochrome P450 epoxygenase, are degraded into inactive dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Many studies have revealed that sEH gene deletion exerts protective effects against diabetes. Vascular calcification is a common complication of diabetes, but the potential effects of sEH on diabetic vascular calcification are still unknown. METHODS: The level of aortic calcification in wild-type and Ephx2-/- C57BL/6 diabetic mice induced with streptozotocin was evaluated by measuring the aortic calcium content through alizarin red staining, immunohistochemistry staining, and immunofluorescence staining. Mouse vascular smooth muscle cell lines (MOVAS cells) treated with β-glycerol phosphate (0.01 mol/L) plus advanced glycation end products (50 mg/L) were used to investigate the effects of sEH inhibitors or sEH knockdown and EETs on the calcification of vascular smooth muscle cells, which was detected by Western blotting, alizarin red staining, and Von Kossa staining. RESULTS: sEH gene deletion significantly inhibited diabetic vascular calcification by increasing levels of EETs in the aortas of mice. EETs (especially 11,12-EET and 14,15-EET) efficiently prevented the osteogenic transdifferentiation of MOVAS cells by decreasing nidogen-2 (NID2) expression. Interestingly, suppressing sEH activity by small interfering ribonucleic acid or specific inhibitors did not block osteogenic transdifferentiation of MOVAS cells induced by β-glycerol phosphate and advanced glycation end products. NID2 overexpression significantly abolished the inhibitory effect of sEH gene deletion on diabetic vascular calcification. Moreover, NID2 overexpression mediated by adeno-associated virus 9 vectors markedly increased insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) and phospho-ERK1/2 expression in MOVAS cells. Overall, sEH gene knockout inhibited diabetic vascular calcification by decreasing aortic NID2 expression and, then, inactivating the downstream IGF2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS sEH gene deletion markedly inhibited diabetic vascular calcification through repressed osteogenic transdifferentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells mediated by increased aortic EET levels, which was associated with decreased NID2 expression and inactivation of the downstream IGF2-ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo understand the epidemic characteristics of influenza in Beijing from 2023 to 2024, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza. MethodsData on influenza-like illness (ILI) from secondary level and above hospitals, etiology surveillance data, and influenza clusters outbreaks data from 2023‒2024 were used to analyze the epidemic trend and pathogenic characteristics of influenza. Furthermore, an influenza comprehensive index was used to categorize the epidemic intensity at the severity level. ResultsA total of 2 065 857 ILI cases were reported in 2023‒2024 epidemic season, and the percentage of ILI was 3.67%. The age group of 5‒14 years accounted for the highest proportion of ILI (30.48%). A total of 41 766 throat swabs from ILI were detected, with a positive rate of 17.28%.A (H3N2) (51.86%) and B Victoria (41.93%) were the most prevalent subtypes of influenza virus. Clustered influenza outbreaks occurred mainly in primary schools (57.78%) and middle schools (35.55%), mainly caused by the influenza A (H3N2) subtype (85.93%). According to the influenza comprehensive index (I), the period of influenza activity and above (I>0.5) lasted for a total of 37 weeks, accounting for 71.15% of the entire influenza season. ConclusionCompared with previous years, the epidemic level of influenza in Beijing was increased in 2023‒2024, and the peak time became earlier. The comprehensive index method can objectively evaluate the level of influenza epidemic and provide suggestions for the future prevention and control of influenza in Beijing.

Objective To investigate the differences in pathological changes and immune responses of human airway organoids at different stages of differentiation following respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)infection.Methods Models of human fetal lung organoids(FLO)and induced airway organoids(iAO)were established to simulate immature and mature airway epithelium.Immunofluorescence staining,electron microscopy,and quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Q-PCR)were used to confirm the successful construction of the lung organoid models.Human lung organoids were infected with RSV,and samples were collected at 6 and 48 hours post-infection.The immune characteristics of immature and mature RSV-infected organoids were assessed using immunofluorescence staining,droplet digital PCR(DDPCR),and Q-PCR.Results We successfully generated FLO expressing both the progenitor markers sex determining region Y-box transcription factor 2(SOX2)and sex determining region Y-box transcription factor 9(SOX9),as well as iAO containing basal cells,ciliated cells,club cells,and goblet cells.In addition,organoid models of RSV infection were established.DDPCR results showed that,at the initial stage of RSV infection,the viral load in iAO was significantly higher than that in FLO(P＜0.001).However,at 48 hours post-infection,the viral load in iAO was lower than that in FLO(P＜0.05).Q-PCR results indicated that the expression of RSV infection receptor genes,including epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR),insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor(IGF1R),and nucleolin(NCL),was significantly higher in iAO compared to that in FLO(P＜0.001).RSV infection led to an increase in the expression levels of immune factors,including interleukin 6(ILL-6),interleukin 8(CXCL8),interferon α(IFN-α),granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(G-CSF),granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF),and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α),in iAO compared to those in FLO,and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of RSV infection receptor proteins increases with airway maturation,and mature airway epithelial cells exhibit a stronger immune response than immature ones do,effectively inhibiting RSV replication.

Objective To comprehensively assess the binocular function of college students with different glasses-wearing habits and myopic anisometropia using an eye-tracking-based,naked-eye 3D visual inspection system.Methods Between December 2023 and March 2024,a total of 137 myopic(equivalent spherical diopter per eye ≤-0.50 D)students were recruited at Sichuan University.They were divided into 2 groups,including a group of 78 participants who wore glasses continuously,and another group of 59 participants who did not wear glasses continuously.According to the degree of myopic anisometropia(the difference between the equivalent spherical diopters,ΔSE),the 2 groups were further divided into subgroups A(0 D＜ΔSE ≤ 1.00 D)and B(ΔSE＞1.00 D).Binocular function was examined using a naked-eye 3D display device based on human eye tracking,and the correlation between different glasses-wearing habits and myopic anisometropia and binocular visual function was analyzed.Results There was no statistically significant difference in the degree of myopic anisometropia between the continuous glasses-wearing group([1.15±1.15]D)and the non-continuous glasses-wearing group([1.20±1.15]D)(P=0.798).In addition,there was no statistically significant difference in refraction between the continuous glasses-wearing group and the non-continuous glasses-wearing group(P=0.158).There were statistically significant differences in the perceptual eye position of the right eye between the continuous glasses-wearing subgroups A and B(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in coarse stereopsis between the non-continuous glasses-wearing subgroups A and B(P＜0.05).There were statistically significant differences in foveal suppression,fine stereopsis,and perceptual eye position between the continuous glasses-wearing group and the non-continuous glasses-wearing group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Both glasses-wearing habits and myopic anisometropia have effects on the binocular visual function of college students.

With the optimization of surgical technologies and postoperative management regimens, the number of lung transplantation has been significantly increased, which has become an important treatment for patients with end-stage lung disease. However, due to the impact of comprehensive factors, such as bronchial ischemia and immunosuppression, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation is relatively high, which severely affects postoperative survival and quality of life of lung transplant recipients. In recent years, with the improvement of perioperative management, organ preservation and surgical technologies, the incidence of airway stenosis after lung transplantation has been declined, but it remains at a high level. Early diagnosis and timely intervention play a significant role in enhancing clinical prognosis of patients with airway stenosis. In this article, the general conditions, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of airway stenosis after lung transplantation were reviewed, aiming to provide reference for comprehensive management of airway stenosis after lung transplantation and improving clinical prognosis of lung transplant recipients.

Congenital anomalies of the kidneys and urinary tracts（CAKUT）include a wide range of structural malformations resulting from defects in the morphogenesis of the kidney and the urinary tract. Congenital renal anomaly is common in CAKUT. The pathogenesis of congenital renal anomaly is considered to be multi-factor，involving maternal or external environment，and heredity. With the continuous progress of molecular diagnosis technology，genetic factors have attracted more and more attention. The PBX1 gene was initially discovered by the formation of an E2A-PBX1 fusion gene from a t（1；19）（q23；p13.3）chromosome translocation，which results in pre-B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia.PBX1 gene mutation can cause congenital renal and urogenital malformation syndromes with or without hearing loss，ear abnormalities，and developmental delay. This review deepens the understanding of the role of genes in regulating kidney development by describing the embryonic basis of kidney development，the structure and function of the PBX1 gene，and the pathogenesis of renal anomalies caused by mutations. Further，it summarizes the phenotype and genotype of the PBX1 gene，in order to promote the diagnosis，treatment，and determination progression of congenital renal anomaly.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a malignant hematologic tumor, which is currently difficult to cure. The theory of Xuanfu was proposed by Liu Wansu, which is unique in the clinical evidence of Chinese medicine and is less frequently applied to hematological diseases. The application of Xuanfu theory in myelodysplastic syndrome provides new ideas for the treatment of the disease. The abnormal flow of Qi, blood and fluids caused by the occlusion of the Xuanfu is the cause of toxic stasis obstruction, which is the pathogenesis of toxic stasis obstruction. Thus, the method of dispersion of Bone from Xuanfu, the external treatment of Xuanfu, and regulation of liver qi and Xuanfu help to return to normal of opening and closing function of Xuanfu, and release toxic stasis. In this paper, we analyzed the evidence of toxin-stasis obstruction in myelodysplastic syndrome from the theory of Xuanfu, aiming to provide a feasible theoretical basis for clinical treatment of the disease.
