Qing court records show that Arecae Semen was extensively applied. The royal medical records of the Qing Dynasty document nine types of Arecae Semen, with the Palace Museum preserving seven kinds, totaling twelve cultural relics. Historical documents and physical artifacts corroborate each other, providing evidence for the study of the supply channels and court processing of Arecae Semen in the Qing court. According to relevant Qing court archival records, the sources of Arecae Semen used in the imperial court were diverse, including tributes from foreign countries such as Vietnam and Gurkha, annual tributes from local governments in Guangdong, gifts from close aides, and commodities purchased by the Imperial Household Department from civilian shops. The imperial physicians of the Qing court placed great emphasis on the specifications of Arecae Semen slices and were extremely meticulous about their processing. The variety of Arecae Semen slices used in the Qing palace exceeded those recorded in the botanical texts of the era. Compared with the commonly used processing methods for Arecae Semen in the Qing Dynasty, the imperial physicians adjusted the properties and efficacy of the herbs through different processing techniques, based on the patient's condition, constitution, and other factors, in order to meet the clinical treatment needs of the court. The slicing of Arecae Semen in the Qing court required strict control of thickness, with an average thickness of 0.44 mm, which is significantly thinner than the Arecae Semen slices found in today's markets. The texture was softer, making them easier to chew and absorb. Both the Qing court Arecae Semen slices and the Muxiang Binglang Pills focused on the use of authentic medicinal materials, ensuring the quality of the medicine and enhancing the efficacy of Arecae Semen through meticulous selection and preparation.

Objective:To explore the value of magnetic resonance examination in distinguishing invasive and non-invasive pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms (SPN).Methods:The clinical and MRI data of 167 patients with SPN who underwent surgery and were pathologically diagnosed at Zhongshan Hospital ,Fudan University from Oct 2013 to Oct 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results:There was no statistically significant difference between invasive and non-invasive SPN in terms of age, gender, clinical symptoms, laboratory tests, location, growth pattern, tumor size, relationship with the pancreas, bleeding, and pancreatic duct dilation ( P>0.05). However, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of tumor morphology, margins, capsule, cystic solid ratio, pancreatic atrophy, enhancement pattern, and enhancement features ( P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve for the combined indicators (tumor morphology, margins, capsule, cystic solid ratio, and pancreatic atrophy) was 0.679 (95% CI: 0.594-0.764), with a sensitivity of 73.7% and specificity of 70.9%. Conclusion:Magnetic resonance examination is helpful in distinguishing invasive and non-invasive pancreatic solid pseudopapillary neoplasms.

The data from outpatient prescriptions of small-size aspirin enteric-coated tablets(25 mg/tablet)in a community hospital were analyzed to provide reference for rational clinical drug use.Patients'medication information of 1 325 prescriptions was collected and analyzed by defined daily dose system(DDDs)and drug utilization index(DUI),and the rationality of drug use was analyzed according to drug instructions and literature.The mean age of males and females were(73.70±8.33)years old and(72.95±8.34)years old,respectively.The top 3 DDDs age groups were women aged 60-79 years,men aged 60-79 years and women aged 80-99 years.The proportion of prescriptions in female patients was 59.62%.DUI ranges from 0.75 to 0.85.Irrational drug use was found in 123 prescriptions,including 89 prescriptions(72.35%)of inappropriate drug selection,19 prescriptions(15.45%)with low dose,6 prescriptions(4.88%)with contraindication,5 prescriptions(4.06%)with inconsistent frequency of administration,2 prescriptions(1.63%)of out-of-indication drug use,and 2 prescriptions(1.63%)of high dose.For the phenomenon of irrational drug use,it is necessary to conduct real-time intervention to ensure the safety and effectiveness of drug use.

With the increasing demand for dynamic,real-time and rapid qualitative analysis of chemical composition in areas such as emergency response and space exploration,chip-scale mass spectrometers have attracted significant attention.These devices are expected to drive the integration of mass spectrometry with micro/nano-fabrication and intelligent sensing technologies,fostering profound innovation and breakthroughs in analytical chemistry.As an excellent mass analyzer,the ion trap exhibits numerous advantages,and its miniaturization creates favorable conditions for the high-density integration of miniature mass spectrometers.However,the reduction in ion storage capacity may compromise its sensitivity and dynamic range,rendering the study of ion unidirectional ejection in highly miniaturized ion traps of significant practical importance.In this work,a research was conducted on achieving efficient ion unidirectional ejection while maintaining high mass resolution in the extremely miniature hyperbolic linear ion trap(M-HLIT)with a field radius of 1 mm,and an electric field compensation method was proposed,which combined asymmetric electrode stretching and unbalanced RF voltage to achieve high-precision optimization of the electric field composition.Simulations showed that in an ideal structure,this method achieved 100％unidirectional ejection efficiency with the mass resolution of 518,significantly outperforming traditional asymmetric structure method(365)and unbalanced voltage method(321).Following the introduction of ion ejection slots,further optimization through bidirectional stretching and electrical parameters improved the resolution to 790 while maintaining a unidirectional ejection efficiency of 93％.This method eliminated the requirement for additional excitation voltage,offering an ideal solution for the miniature mass analyzer with high detection performance of chip-level mass spectrometers.

Coronary artery calcification often appears a variety of complex lesions,increasing coronary intervention of the difficulty of treatment,especially the severe calcification lesions,usually cannot be fully dilated,resulting in a reduced success rate of surgery,an increased rate of acute stent thrombosis and restenosis,and even a serious impact on the prognosis of patients.Intravascular lithotripsy(IVL)is increasingly used in calcified lesions.There is more and more evidence of using in stable angina pectoris and unstable angina pectoris,but its use in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is limited,and only a few cases have been reported abroad.Moreover,the consensus of Chinese experts in the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery calcification in 2021 edition lists thrombotic lesions as contraindications of shock wave balloon.This case is the first time in China to report the use of shock wave balloon in patients with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction complicated with thrombus.In this case,the patient with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction complicated with thrombus was severely under expanded stent after stent implantation,and obtain good curative effect using shockwave balloon at selected time in hospital after intensive anticoagulant therapy.

Meniere's disease represents an idiopathic inner ear disorder characterized by endolymphatic hy-drops.Currently,the research methods for identifying genes associated with this disease mainly involve first-genera-tion sequencing and second-generation sequencing.This article reviews research on the genetic study of Meniere's disease,mainly summarizing the candidate genes with repeated pedigree validation in familial Meniere's disease,as well as those frequently reported in sporadic Meniere's disease.
