ObjectiveThe development trend and knowledge structure of the research on human use experience （HUE） of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） were systematically reviewed， and the core challenges and future directions were identified. This study aims to provide reference for the construction of a scientific and feasible research and development framework and evidence transformation system. MethodsLiterature related to "human use experience" published from January 1， 2019 to July 31， 2025 was retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang， China Science and Technology Journal Database （VIP）， and PubMed databases. Bibliometric visualization was conducted using Excel， VOSviewer， and CiteSpace， followed by in-depth reading and thematic summarization of core literature. ResultsA total of 181 papers were included for bibliometric analysis， with 45 articles used for in-depth thematic mining. The analysis showed that the number of publications on HUE research has increased in a stepwise manner over the past five years. Yang Zhongqi （24 times） was the core of the author network， the journal with the highest number of publications was China Journal of Chinese Materia Medica， the institutions publishing the most articles were mainly research institutions， regulatory agencies， hospitals， and universities， high-frequency keywords included "new TCM drugs"， "real-world studies"， and "clinical comprehensive evaluation"， keyword clustering analysis formed three major clusters： Policy orientation， application fields， and methodological approaches. Thematic analysis reveals that HUE-based evaluation should be integrated throughout the research and development process， encompassing three dimensions： TCM theory， clinical value， and pharmaceutical fundamentals， with toxic herbs and compatibility contraindications being key foci. Data collection primarily relies on empirical data， while real-world data constitute the primary source for clinical research， with efficacy and safety as the shared core. Data management emphasizes quality control and statistical analysis； however， the management of bias and confounding remains a critical bottleneck in evidence transformation. In practice， HUE-based approaches have successfully supported the registration and evaluation of multiple categories of new TCM drugs. ConclusionThe research on HUE of TCM has formed a policy-driven pattern characterized by， rapid development and close link with regulatory practice. A technical framework covering the whole chain of research and development has been constructed with clinical value as the core， which provides methodological basis and strategy reference for the scientific transformation of HUE of TCM from "experience" to "evidence".

This study explores the effect of total secondary ginsenosides(TSG) on apoptosis and energy metabolism in H9c2 cells under hypoxia and its potential mechanisms. H9c2 cell viability was observed and the apoptosis rate was calculated to determine suitable intervention concentrations of TSG, antimycin A complex(AMA), and coenzyme Q10(CoQ10), along with the duration of hypoxia. H9c2 cells at the logarithmic phase were divided into a normal group, a model group, a TSG group, an AMA group, a TSG+AMA group, and a CoQ10 group. All groups, except the normal group, were treated with their respective intervention drugs and cultured under hypoxic conditions. Adenosine triphosphate(ATP) content and creatine kinase(CK) activity were measured using an ATP chemiluminescence assay kit and a CK colorimetric assay kit. Flow cytometry was used to assess apoptosis rates, and Western blot evaluated the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins, including B-cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2), Bcl-2-associated X protein(Bax), cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease(caspase)-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9, as well as mitochondrial biogenesis-related proteins peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator 1α(PGC-1α), estrogen-related receptor-α(ERRα), nuclear respiratory factor(NRF)-1, NRF-2, peroxisome proliferator activated receptor-α(PPARα), and Na~+-K~+-ATPase. RT-PCR was employed to analyze the mRNA expression of mitochondrial biogenesis factors, including PGC-1α, ERRα, NRF-1, NRF-2, PPARα, mitochondrial transcription factor A(TFAM), mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase 1(COX1), and mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1(ND1), ND2. The selected intervention concentrations were 7.5 μg·mL~(-1) for TSG, 10 μmol·L~(-1) for AMA, and 1×10~(-4) mol·L~(-1) for CoQ10, with a hypoxia duration of 6 h. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased ATP content and CK activity, increased apoptosis rates, decreased Bcl-2 expression, and increased Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 expression in H9c2 cells. Additionally, the protein and mRNA expression levels of mitochondrial biogenesis-related factors(PGC-1α, ERRα, NRF-1, NRF-2, PPARα), mRNA expression of TFAM, COX1, and ND1, ND2, and protein expression of Na~+-K~+-ATPase in mitochondrial DNA, were also reduced. In the TSG and CoQ10 groups, ATP content and CK activity increased, and apoptosis rates decreased compared with those in the model group. The TSG group showed decreased protein expression of apoptosis-related proteins Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9, increased protein and mRNA expression of mitochondrial biogenesis factors PGC-1α, ERRα, NRF-1, and PPARα, and increased NRF-2 protein expression and TFAM mRNA expression in mitochondrial DNA. Conversely, in the AMA group, ATP content and CK activity decreased, the apoptosis rate increased, Bcl-2 expression decreased, and Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 expression increased, alongside reductions in PGC-1α, ERRα, NRF-1, NRF-2, PPARα protein and mRNA expression, as well as TFAM, COX1, ND1, ND2 mRNA expression and Na~+-K~+-ATPase protein expression. Compared with the TSG group, the TSG+AMA group exhibited decreased ATP content and CK activity, increased apoptosis rates, decreased Bcl-2 expression, and increased Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 expression, along with decreased PGC-1α, ERRα, NRF-1, NRF-2, and PPARα protein and mRNA expression and TFAM, COX1, and ND1, ND2 mRNA expression. Compared with the AMA group, the TSG+AMA group showed increased CK activity, decreased apoptosis rate, increased Bcl-2 expression, and decreased Bax, caspase-8, and caspase-9 expression. Additionally, the protein and mRNA expression of PGC-1α, ERRα, NRF-1, PPARα, mRNA expression of TFAM, COX1, ND1, ND2, and Na~+-K~+-ATPase protein expression increased. In conclusion, TSG enhance ATP content and CK activity and inhibit apoptosis in H9c2 cells under hypoxia, and the mechanisms may be related to the regulation of PGC-1α, ERRα, NRF-1, NRF-2, PPARα, and TFAM expression, thus promoting mitochondrial biogenesis.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the mediating role of sleep duration in the relationship between depression symptoms and myopia among middle school students. METHODS: This study was a cross-sectional research conducted using a stratified cluster random sampling method. A total of 1 728 middle school students were selected from two junior high schools and two senior high schools in certain urban areas and farms of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Questionnaire surveys and vision tests were conducted among the students. Spearman analysis was used to analyze the correlation between depression symptoms, sleep duration, and myopia. The Bootstrap method was employed to investigate the mediating effect of sleep duration between depression symptoms and myopia. RESULTS: The prevalence of myopia in the overall population was 74.02% (1 279/1 728), with an average sleep duration of (7.6±1.0) hours. The rate of insufficient sleep was 83.62% (1 445/1 728), and the proportion of students exhibiting depression symptoms was 25.29% (437/1 728). Correlation analysis showed significant negative correlations between visual acuity in both eyes and sleep duration with depressive emotions as measured by the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (with correlation coefficients of -0.064, -0.084, and -0.199 respectively; P<0.01), as well as with somatic symptoms and activities (with correlation coefficients of -0.104, -0.124, and -0.233 respectively; P<0.01) and interpersonal relationships (with correlation coefficients of -0.052, -0.059, and -0.071 respectively; P<0.05). The correlation coefficients for left and right eye visual acuity and sleep duration were 0.206 and 0.211 respectively (P<0.001). Sleep duration exhibited a mediating effect between depression symptoms and myopia (indirect effect=0.056, 95%CI: 0.029-0.088), with the mediating effect value for females (indirect effect=0.066, 95%CI: 0.024-0.119) being higher than that for males (indirect effect=0.042, 95%CI: 0.011-0.081). CONCLUSIONS Sleep duration serves as a partial mediator between depression symptoms and myopia in middle school students.

Objective To observe the effects of compound sabal berry tablet on bladder discomfort(BD)after electrocision of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH).Methods Patients with BPH undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate were divided into treatment group and control group.The control group was treated with tamsulosin hydrochloride sustained-release capsules(0.2 mg,qd)on the day after surgery,while treatment group was treated with compound sabal berry tablets(0.5 g,tid)on basis of control group.All patients were treated for 4 weeks.The clinical curative effect,prostate symptoms,overactive bladder symptoms,changes of urodynamics[maximum detrusor pressure(MDP),maximum urine flow rate(Qmax),maximum cystometric capacity(MCC)],occurrence of BD,inflammatory response indexes[interleukin-6(IL-6),IL-17,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)]and safety were compared between the two groups.Results There were 45 cases in control group and 49 cases in treatment group.After treatment,total response rate of treatment group was higher than that of control group[95.92％(47 cases/49 cases)vs 82.22％(37 cases/45 cases)],the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After treatment,international prostate symptom scores(IPSS)in treatment group and control group were(7.62±1.38)and(10.49±2.05)points;overactive bladder symptom scores(OABSS)were(2.78±0.64)and(3.92±0.72)points;MDP were(32.09±5.12)and(28.32±4.69)cmH2O;Qmax were(18.42±2.53)and(15.37±2.18)mL·s-1;MCC were(289.46±36.81)and(261.42±33.54)mL;incidence of BD were 18.37％(9 cases/49 cases)and 37.78％(17 cases/45 cases);levels of serum IL-6 were(11.34±2.09)and(15.03±2.56)pg·mL-1;levels of serum IL-17 were(30.12±4.73)and(37.57±5.01)pg·mL-1;levels of serum TNF-α were(82.06±12.95)and(98.63±15.70)pg·mL-1.The differences were statistically significant in the above indexes between the treatment group and control group(all P＜0.05).The adverse drug reactions in treatment group were mainly on dizziness,rash,nausea and diarrhea,while adverse drug reactions in control group were mainly on dizziness,rash and diarrhea.There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups[10.20％(5 cases/49 cases)vs 8.89％(4 cases/45 cases),P＞0.05].Conclusion Compound sabal berry tablet can relieve prostate symptoms and overactive bladder symptoms,improve urodynamics,reduce BD and alleviate inflammatory response in BPH patients after transurethral resection of the prostate.

Huimin Insurance is an important exploration of building a multi-level medical security system in China.At present,its sustainable development is in trouble.In order to cope with this dilemma,Based on the perspective of Behavioral Economics,this study incorporates individual psychological factors into the decision-making.This paper also applies behavioral economics to the research of Huimin Insurance,which expands the connotation and application scope of behavioral economics theory.By establishing an insurance purchase decision-making process model based on behavioral economics,three psychological variables of risk perception,concept cognition,and value cognition are extracted from the three stages of insurance purchase decision-making process model.Using the survey data of Huiliao Insurance in Liaoning Province,this paper analyzes the path of psychological variables on Huiliao Insurance's willingness to purchase insurance.The main results show that in the insurance purchase decision-making,there is a sequential relationship between variables,and there is a path of"risk perception→concept cognition→value cognition→purchase intention".Concept cognition and value cognition play a chain mediating role.At the same time,there is a leap between the action paths,which is mainly manifested in the fact that conceptual cognition and value cognition play a role between risk perception and insurance purchase intention as separate intermediaries.There are two paths:"perception→conceptual cognition→insurance purchase intention"and"risk perception→value cognition→insurance purchase intention".Based on the above conclusions,this study puts forward the following suggestions:Deepen health risk education and enhance public risk awareness;strengthen the publicity and promotion of Huimin Insurance,improve awareness and value cognition;establish a user feedback mechanism to continuously optimize products and services.
