BackgroundPatients with colorectal cancer are frequently comorbid with depression， which severely affects the quality of life and treatment compliance， while compromising the efficacy of anticancer treament and prognosis. Current therapeutic strategies still have notable limitations， particularly the lack of systematic and targeted synergistic regimens that integrate oncological management and anti-depressive intervention. It is of great clinical significance to explore a safe and effective new comprehensive intervention protocol and clarify its underlying mechanism of action. ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness and safety of Shugan Yunpi Decoction in alleviating depressive and anxiety symptoms in colorectal cancer patients with depressive disorder through the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway， in order to provide references for the comprehensive treatment of colorectal cancer and depressive disorder. MethodsThis study was a randomized controlled trial. A total of 106 patients admitted to the Baoding No.1 Hospital of traditional Chinese medicine from November 2023 to July 2025 were enrolled， who met the diagnostic criteria for the Chinese protocol of diagnosis and treatment of colorectal cancer （2023 edition） and the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder as specified in the Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disease， third edition （CCMD-3）. Patients were divided into the study group and the control group using a random number table， with 53 cases in each group. The control group received conventional chemotherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine five-element music therapy， while the study group received conventional chemotherapy combined with Shugan Yunpi Decoction therapy. Both groups were treated for 8 weeks. Depressive and anxiety symptoms were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Scale-17 item（HAMD-17） and Hamilton Anxiety Scale （HAMA）， respectively. Western blot protein immunoblotting was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K， AKT， and pAKT. Real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （qRT-PCR） was used to detect the expression levels of PI3K mRNA and AKT mRNA. Adverse reactions were recorded using a self-designed adverse reaction record form. ResultsRepeated measures analysis of variance showed that the time effects （F=139.336， 234.747）， group effects （F=43.900， 101.266）， and time-group interaction effects （F=13.409， 43.216） for HAMD-17 and HAMA scores in both groups were statistically significant （P<0.01）. After 4 and 8 weeks of treatment， the HAMD-17 and HAMA scores in both groups were lower than those before treatment， with statistically significant differences （P<0.05）. HAMD-17 and HAMA scores in the study group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The time effects （F=571.356， 309.266， 414.492）， group effects （F=6.901， 26.361， 39.362）， and time-group interaction effects （F=18.592， 19.266， 33.484） for the protein expression levels of PI3K， AKT， and pAKT in both groups were all statistically significant （P<0.01）. After 8 weeks of treatment， the protein expression levels of PI3K and pAKT in the study group were lower than those in the control group， while the AKT protein expression level was higher than that in the control group（P<0.01）. The time effects （F=338.555， 225.059）， group effects （F=5.429， 9.726）， and time-group interaction effects （F=12.953， 21.214） for PI3K mRNA and AKT mRNA expression levels in two groups were all statistically significant （P<0.01）. After 8 weeks of treatment， the expression levels of PI3K mRNA and AKT mRNA in the study group were lower than those in the control group （P<0.05）. The incidence of adverse reactions in the study group was lower than that in the control group （χ²=4.810， P<0.05）. ConclusionShugan Yunpi Decoction may help to ameliorate depressive and anxiety symptoms in colorectal cancer patients with depressive disorder by regulating the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway， decreasing the levels of PI3K， pAKT， PI3K mRNA， and AKT mRNA， with a favorable safety profile. ［Funded by Baoding City Science and Technology Planning Project （number， 2341ZF291）］

Objective To establish a technical system for allogeneic kidney transplantation surgery in pigs using the Banna miniature pig inbred strain,and to evaluate it through routine blood tests,liver and kidney function tests,thus providing reference data for the preparation of allogeneic kidney transplantation models.Methods A total of 4 cases of allogeneic kidney transplantation surgeries were performed,including 1 case of single kidney transplantation in a healthy pig,2 cases of kidney transplantation after unilateral nephrectomy,and 1 case of kidney transplantation after bilateral nephrectomy.Before kidney transplantation,cross-matching and complement-dependent cytotoxicity(CDC)tests were used for matching between donor and recipient pigs.After kidney transplantation,peripheral blood samples were regularly collected from pigs for routine blood tests,liver function tests,and kidney function tests,and color Doppler ultrasound technology was used to detect blood supply to the transplanted kidneys.After reaching the experimental endpoint,both kidneys of pig DR1 and the left kidney of pig DR3 were collected and hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was performed to evaluate pathological changes in the transplanted kidneys.Results Recipient pigs DR1 and DR3 died at 17 days and 30 days after surgery respectively,while recipient pigs R and DR2 remained in good condition during the 30-day observation period.The results of liver and kidney function test showed that in pig DR1,alanine aminotransferase(ALT)levels increased on postoperative day 1(＞1 000 U/L),peaked on postoperative day 7(1 300 U/L),and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)levels peaked on postoperative day 1(＞3 000 U/L).On postoperative day 17,ALT and AST levels remained high(ALT,500 U/L;AST,700 U/L).In pigs R,DR2,and DR3,ALT and AST levels returned to normal around day 17.Serum creatinine(Crea)levels in pig R remained stable without postoperative increase.Crea levels in pigs DR1 and DR2 showed transient elevation on postoperative day 1,then gradually returned to normal(＜100 μmol/L).Crea levels in pig DR3 remained below 500 μmol/L from postoperative days 2-10,but increased between days 11-28,reaching up to 1 500 μmol/L,indicating gradual loss of kidney function.Ultrasound results showed that the preoperative resistive index(RI)of recipient pig R was 0.91.On postoperative day 24,renal cortex and medulla showed abundant blood flow signals with RI value of 0.88,which was close to the pre-transplantation RI value.For pig DR2,the RI value on postoperative day 17 was 0.89,with poor renal cortex blood flow and relatively good renal medulla blood flow.In pig DR1 on postoperative day 17,no blood flow signals were detected in the transplanted kidney.HE staining results showed that the non-transplanted healthy right kidney of pig DR1 had normal structure,while the transplanted left kidney showed blurred glomerular structure and nuclear dissolution,indicating that the left kidney had lost function before removal.In the transplanted left kidney of pig DR3,large numbers of red blood cells and lymphocyte infiltration were observed in glomeruli and renal tubules,indicating possible coagulation dysfunction and rejection reactions after kidney transplantation.Conclusion Banna miniature pig inbred strain is used as experimental animals to perform four cases of allogeneic pig-to-pig kidney transplantation.The physiological parameters of the recipient pig and the function of the transplanted kidney are monitored after surgery using routine blood tests,liver and kidney function tests,color Doppler ultrasound,and pathological examinations.The allogeneic pig-to-pig kidney transplantation technical system established in the study can provide a foundation for clinicians to conduct kidney transplantation surgeries.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

ObjectiveTo establish a model that can quickly identify the aroma components in different parts of Nardostachys jatamansi， so as to provide a quality control basis for the market circulation and clinical use of N. jatamansi. MethodsHeadspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-SPME-GC-MS） combined with Smart aroma database and National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST） database were used to characterize the aroma components in different parts of N. jatamansi， and the aroma components were quantified according to relative response factor（RRF） and three internal standards， and the markers of aroma differences in different parts of N. jatamansi were identified by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） and cluster thermal analysis based on variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1 and P<0.01. The odor data of different parts of N. jatamansi were collected by Heracles Ⅱ Neo ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose， and the correlation between compound types of aroma components collected by the ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose and the detection results of HS-SPME-GC-MS was investigated by drawing odor fingerprints and odor response radargrams. Chromatographic peak information with distinguishing ability≥0.700 and peak area≥200 was selected as sensor data， and the rapid identification model of different parts of N. jatamansi was established by principal component analysis（PCA）， discriminant factor alysis（DFA）， soft independent modeling of class analogies（SIMCA） and statistical quality control analysis（SQCA）. ResultsThe HS-SPME-GC-MS results showed that there were 28 common components in the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi， of which 22 could be quantified and 12 significantly different components were screened out. Among these 12 components， the contents of five components（ethyl isovalerate， 2-pentylfuran， benzyl alcohol， nonanal and glacial acetic acid，） in the aboveground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the underground part（P<0.01）， the contents of β-ionone， patchouli alcohol， α-caryophyllene， linalyl butyrate， valencene， 1，8-cineole and p-cymene in the underground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the aboveground part（P<0.01）. Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose results showed that the PCA discrimination index of the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi was 82， and the contribution rates of the principal component factors were 99.94% and 99.89% when 2 and 3 principal components were extracted， respectively. The contribution rate of the discriminant factor 1 of the DFA model constructed on the basis of PCA was 100%， the validation score of the SIMCA model for discrimination of the two parts was 99， and SQCA could clearly distinguish different parts of N. jatamansi. ConclusionHS-SPME-GC-MS can clarify the differential markers of underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi. The four analytical models provided by Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose（PCA， DFA， SIMCA and SQCA） can realize the rapid identification of different parts of N. jatamansi. Combining the two results， it is speculated that terpenes and carboxylic acids may be the main factors contributing to the difference in aroma between the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi.

Pancreatic cancer has emerged as one of the most challenging malignancies worldwide,with its high resistance to chemotherapy being the primary cause of treatment failure.Therefore,enhancing the chemosensitivity of pancreatic cancer has become a major focus of current research.In this study,we in-vestigated how Bufotaline,a bufadienolide extracted from the traditional Chinese medicine toad venom,exhibits its antitumor activity.Specifically,we explored the potential of Bufotaline to enhance the chemo-sensitivity of pancreatic cancer cells to Adriamycin and elucidated its underlying molecular mechanisms.Using CCK-8 and colony formation assays,we demonstrated that Bufotaline enhances the inhibitory effect of Adriamycin on the survival of pancreatic cancer cell lines Patu-8988T,Aspc-1,and Patu-8988S.No-tably,Bufotaline treatment reduced the IC50 of Adriamycin in drug-resistant pancreatic cancer cells to lev-els comparable to those in non-resistant cells.Results from Western blot,immunofluorescence,comet as-say,and TUNEL assays revealed that Bufotaline promotes Adriamycin-induced DNA damage in pancreatic cancer cells.RNA-seq analysis of Patu-8988T cells treated with Adriamycin alone or in combination with Bufotaline showed significant changes in gene expression,and qRT-PCR analysis further confirmed that Bu-fotaline downregulates the expression of DNA damage repair proteins NBS1 and RAD50.Moreover,Western blot analysis revealed that Bufotaline reduces the levels of DNA damage response repair proteins,and Im-munofluorescence experiments indicated that Bufotaline inhibits the activation of the ATM/CHK2 signaling pathway.Finally,in a subcutaneous xenograft mouse model,the combination of Adriamycin and Bufotaline treatment significantly suppressed pancreatic cancer cell growth.In conclusion,Bufotaline enhances Adria-mycin-induced chemosensitivity in pancreatic cancer cells;the combination of Adriamycin and Bufotaline downregulates the expression of DNA damage response repair proteins NBS1 and RAD50,and inhibits the ATM/CHK2-mediated DDR signaling pathway,thereby delaying DNA damage repair.

This paper reported a case of simultaneous twin pregnancy and successful delivery in each horn of uterus didelphys. The patient had a history of adverse pregnancies and was diagnosed with a uterus didelphys with double cervix through hysteroscopy, although the uterine cavity morphology was normal. This pregnancy was conceived naturally, with the last menstrual period on December 21, 2023. The patient underwent regular prenatal check-ups at Xi'an People's Hospital (Xi'an Fourth Hospital). Early pregnancy ultrasound confirmed simultaneous twin pregnancy in each horn of uterus didelphys. Multiple ultrasounds showed no fetal growth restriction or other abnormalities. At 37 weeks of gestation, the patient experienced chest tightness and shortness of breath due to polyhydramnios, and one fetus was in the cephalic position while the other was in the breech position, posing a high risk for vaginal delivery. Therefore, an elective cesarean section was performed at 37 weeks and one day of gestation, delivering a male infant weighing 3 260 g and a female infant weighing 2 400 g. The 1-,5-, and 10-minute Apgar scores were all 10 points, with favorable maternal and neonatal outcomes.

Objective:To analyze and identify the risk factors for preoperative hypokalemia in patients with gastrointestinal tumors and to construct a risk prediction model.Methods:A prospective research design was implemented. Patients with gastrointestinal tumors who underwent surgical treatment at the First Medical Center of the People ′s Liberation Army General Hospital between March 2023 and February 2024 were recruited as research participants through convenience sampling. These participants were randomly allocated into a modeling group or a validation group in a 7:3 ratio. Preoperative hypokalemia was defined as the outcome indicator. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was employed to screen for risk factors, and a nomogram was subsequently constructed and validated. Results:Finally, a total of 600 patients were included in the study. In the modeling group ( n=420), 282 were male and 138 were female, 169 patients were under 60 years old, 233 patients were aged between 60 and 80 years, and 18 patients were over 80 years old. In the verification group ( n=180), there were 123 males and 57 females. Among these, 69 patients were under 60 years old, 102 patients were aged between 60 and 80 years, and 9 patients were over 80 years old. The multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that body mass index, occupation type, dietary habits, 6m walking speed test, grip strength relative to body mass index, and presence of digestive tract symptoms were independent risk factors for the development of preoperative hypokalemia ( χ2 values were 8.21~27.78, all P<0.05). The results of the model validation demonstrated that the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for the modeling and validation groups were 0.853 (95% CI 0.811-0.895) and 0.834 (95% CI 0.756-0.912), respectively, indicating a satisfactory level of predictive performance. Conclusions:The developed predictive model for preoperative hypokalemia in gastrointestinal tumors facilitates the accurate evaluation of the risk of preoperative hypokalemia and serves as a reference for effective clinical intervention.

Objective:To investigate the effect of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the sense of personal control and illness perception of young and middle-aged patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), so as to provide theoretical and practical guidance for the psychological care of patients after PCI.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. From January 2022 to December 2023, young and middle-aged patients after PCI admitted to the Department of Cardiology, Qinhuai Medical District, Eastern Theater Command General Hospital of the Chinese People′s Liberation Army were selected as the research subjects by convenient sampling method, patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group by the random number table method. The control group was given routine nursing, and the experimental group was given mindfulness-based cognitive therapy on the basis of routine nursing.
