[Objective]To systematically review the records of Centipeda minima in historical herbal literature,investigating its botanical origins,medicinal history,etc.,to clarify its name,origin,medicinal properties and therapeutic effects,providing references for clinical applications.[Methods]A systematic review of historical herbal literature was conducted,combined with modern herbal texts such as the Chinese Pharmacopoeia and Chinese Materia Medica.Based on the textual records and illustrations from various herbal texts,a systematic investigation of Centipeda minima was carried out.[Results]Centipeda minima was first recorded in the Tang Dynasty's Diet Therapy Materia Medica under the name"Shihusui",and was later named for the"Centipeda minima"characteristic.There was confusion about its origins in the herbal medicines of the past dynasties.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties,the characteristics of its Compositae plant(Centipe daminima)were gradually clarified.The drawings in the Qing Dynasty's An Illustrated Book of Plants was highly consistent with modern authentic products.The controversy over nature and taste had shifted from the early"cold nature"to the consensus that"warm and non-toxic",and modern pharmacopoeia follows this theory.The efficacy has expanded from"clearing nasal orifices and spitting wind and phlegm"in the Tang Dynasty to"dispelling sores and swelling,treating hemorrhoids and removing eye fog"in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.In modern times,it focused on the three major functions of"dissipating wind and cold,clearing nasal orifices and relieving cough".[Conclusion]Clarifying the development context of the name evolution,origin controversy,property and toxicity,taste toxicity and efficacy indication of Centipeda minima can provide historical basis and theoretical support for its modern clinical application and in-depth research.Future research should focus on multi-disciplinary integration and further explore its scientific connotation and clinical value.

Stress refers to the non-specific responses of a stimulated body to different stressors and the subsequent maintenance or restoration of internal environmental homeostasis.Adverse stress reactions lead to general balance disruption and may cause digestive,neurological,and endocrine disorders,and decreased immune capacity,which seriously impact host health.As the core compo-nent of intestinal micro-ecology,the intestinal flora can greatly alter its own composition,distribu-tion,function,metabolic product output,and other aspects during stress,which cause disorders and aggravate homeostatic imbalance in internal environments.While the intestinal flora is of great sig-nificance to animal medicine and agricultural production,little is known about stress and its impact on intestinal flora.Therefore,we briefly reviewed the impact of stress on animal intestinal flora in combination with the latest research and provided theoretical insights on intestinal health research.

ObjectiveTo analyze the characteristics and changing trend of injury cause of mortality of residents in Qingpu District from 2002 to 2020, and to provide scientific reference for formulating regional prevention and control measures. MethodsThe injury mortality data of the registered residents in Qingpu District from 2002 to 2020 were collected. The indicators such as crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, and the ranking of causes of death were calculated. ResultsFrom 2002 to 2020, the average annual crude mortality rate was 50.27/100 000, the age-standardized mortality rate based on the world standard population(ASRW) was 30.08/100 000, and the age-standardized mortality rate based on the 2010 Chinese census(ASMRC) was 35.58/100 000. The average annual crude mortality rate of males was higher than that of females [Z=54.402, Mantel-Hanszel χ2=1 742.509, P<0.01). The overall injury mortality rate showed a downward trend with an average annual percent change(AAPC)of -4.07% (95%CI: -5.23%‒-2.90%), P<0.001]. The top four causes of injury death were transportation accident, indeliberate fall, drowning, and suicide. The leading causes of death in 0‒ years old, 15‒ years old and ≥65 years old were drowning, transportation accident and indeliberate fall, respectively. The ASRW of transportation accident, drowning and suicide all showed a decreasing trend, and the AAPC were -8.22% (95%CI: -10.16%‒-6.24%), -6.99% (95%CI: -9.68%‒-4.22%) and -6.21% (95%CI: -9.38%‒-2.94%), respectively. ConclusionThe injury death rate of residents in Qingpu District shows a decreasing trend, and the distribution characteristics of injury death are different among different genders and age groups. Corresponding prevention and control strategies should be adopted for different populations.

ObjectiveTo analyze the trends in life expectancy and cause-eliminated life expectancy of the registered residents in Qingpu District, Shanghai from 2002 to 2021, and to identify the major diseases causing life expectancy loss in the area, so as to provide a theoretical basis for strengthening disease prevention and interventions and optimizing health resources allocation. MethodsUsing the International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 classification of death causes, average life expectancy and cause-eliminated life expectancy were calculated with the abbreviated life table and the cause-eliminated life expectancy table. A trend forecast of life expectancy from 2022 to 2029 was made. ResultsFrom 2002 to 2021, the life expectancy of Qingpu District residents showed an increasing trend, with an average annual growth of 0.32 years (AAPC=0.39%, P<0.001). Among the seven major causes of death, the cause-eliminated expected life expectancy for circulatory system diseases showed the most significant upward trend (AAPC=0.53%, P<0.001), rising from the third leading cause of death in 2002 to the first in 2021. The life expectancy loss rate due to circulatory system diseases increased from 3.79% to 7.97%. Respiratory system diseases showed the largest decline, decreasing from the first leading cause of death in 2002 to the fourth in 2021, with the life expectancy loss rate decreasing from 6.83% to 0.99%. ConclusionLife expectancy of the registered residents in Qingpu District has reached a leading level in China. Future efforts should focus on effectively increasing the life expectancy of male residents, strengthening the comprehensive prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes, and malignant tumors, and improving health promotion policies for residents to achieve a steady long-term increase in regional life expectancy.

Objective To identify the differentially expressed genes and pathways of bone marrow-derived mast cells(BMMCs)of mice induced by IL-3 and IL-3+stem cell factor(SCF)using bioinformatics analysis,which may provide a foundation for in vitro culture and functional study of mast cells(MC).Methods The matrix data of GSE35332 dataset in IL-3 and IL-3+SCF induced BMMCs was downloaded from the GEO database,and the R software was applied to screen differentially expressed genes(DEGs).The gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes(KEGG)pathway enrichment analysis of EDGs were performed based on the online tool DAVID database.The protein interaction network was constructed by STRING database and hub genes were screened through MCODE plugin of the Cytoscape software.Results The GSE35332 data set was analyzed by R software,and 1 339 DEGs were screened,including 723 up-regulated genes and 616 down-regulated genes.A total of 6 hub genes were screened through the MCODE plugin of Cytoscape software,namely Psmd8,Psmd6,Psmd14,Psmc4,Psma6 and Psma3.GO and KEGG analysis showed that the hub genes were concentrated in proteolysis,antigen processing and presentation of exogenous peptide antigen via MHC class I,proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolism process,and Epstein-Barr virus infection.Conclusion This study found that there were significant differences in BMMCs gene expression profiles in mice induced by two modes and 6 hub genes participated in ubiquitin-dependent protein decomposition process through bioinformatics based on the GEO database,providing help for further research on MC vitro culture and function.
