ObjectiveTaking Aurantii Fructus Immaturus juice（AFI）-processed Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma（AMR） as an example， this study aims to systematically compare the volatile and non-volatile components of AMR and its processed products， investigate the key differential components， evaluate their anti-inflammatory activities， and elucidate the synergistic mechanism of processing. MethodsThe chemical compositions of volatile and non-volatile components in AMR and AFI-processed AMR were systematically characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（GC-MS） and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS）， with relative mass fractions and response values determined separately. Volatile components were identified through searches in the National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST）17 database， comparison with retention index（RI） and fragmentation pattern matching. Non-volatile components were identified by searching Waters Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） spectral library， in conjunction with PubChem and MassBank， characteristic fragmentation patterns and response values were also used to support identification. Differential components were screened using principal component analysis（PCA）， orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA）， with variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1. Components with high log₂fold change（FC） among major differential groups were selected as those exhibiting significant changes before and after processing. The anti-inflammatory activity of the differential compounds was evaluated by assessing their effects on nitric oxide（NO） production in a lipopolysaccharide（LPS）-induced RAW264.7 macrophage model. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to detect the effects of the differential components on tumor necrosis factor（TNF）-α， interleukin（IL）-1β， IL-6， and monocyte chemotactic protein（MCP）-1 levels， and immunofluorescence（IF） was employed to assess their effects on nuclear transcription factor（NF）-κB p65 translocation， thereby elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms. ResultsA total of 36 compounds were identified in the volatile components of AMR and AFI-processed AMR， among which， sesquiterpenes and monoterpenes were significantly increased after processing. In the non-volatile components， 36 compounds were identified， and the main differential components were flavonoids， sesquiterpenoids， and triterpenoids. Flavonoids were the primary differential components distinguishing AMR from its processed products， representing compounds directly introduced during processing. Five compounds， including atractylenolide Ⅲ， tangeritin， nobiletin， hesperidin and narirutin， were selected as representatives of three classes based on their most prominent differential expression among different compound types for subsequent anti-inflammatory activity studies. The results showed that 100 μmol·L^-1 tangerine and narirutin could significantly inhibit LPS-induced NO production（P<0.01） in a concentration-dependent manner. Tangeritin was able to significantly inhibit the levels of TNF-α and MCP-1 secreted by RAW264.7（P<0.05）， while narirutin significantly inhibited the levels of TNF-α， IL-1β， MCP-1 and IL-6（P<0.01）. IF revealed that both tangeritin and narirutin significantly blocked the translocation of NF-κB p65 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. ConclusionAFI-processed AMR significantly alters the chemical composition profile of AMR， and the newly introduced flavonoid components during processing may be key to its enhanced anti-inflammatory effects.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the effects of oral non-peptidic thrombopoietin receptor agonists （TPO-RAs） on hepatic enzyme in adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed， Web of Science， CNKI， Wanfang database and the Chinese Medical Association Journal Full-Text Database to collect randomized controlled trials （RCTs） comparing oral non-peptidic TPO-RAs （intervention group） with placebo or conventional therapy （control group）. All databases were searched from their inception to June 2025. After literature screening， data extraction and quality assessment of the included studies， meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4.1 software. RESULTS Twelve RCTs comprising 1 388 patients were included， with 971 in the intervention group and 417 in the control group. Meta-analysis results showed that there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of the incidence of hepatic enzyme elevation[OR＝1.24， 95%CI （0.77， 1.99）， P ＝0.37 ] ， the incidence of hepatic enzyme elevation in patients treated for ≥6 weeks[OR＝1.21， 95%CI （0.73， 1.99）， P ＝0.46 ] ， and the incidence of severe hepatic enzyme elevation[OR＝1.39， 95%CI（0.46， 4.20）， P ＝0.55 ] . Subgroup analysis showed that there were no significant differences in the incidence of hepatic enzyme elevation between the intervention group and control group among patients using eltrombopag[OR＝1.57，95%CI（0.85，2.87）， P ＝0.15 ] ， avatrombopag[OR＝0.88，95%CI （0.09，8.46）， P ＝0.91 ] ， and hetrombopag[OR＝1.04，95%CI（0.30，3.65）， P ＝0.95 ] ， respectively. CONCLUSIONS Oral non-peptidic TPO-RAs do not significantly increase the risk of hepatic enzyme elevation in adult patients with immune thrombocytopenia， and show an overall favorable hepatic safety profile.

Objective: To investigate the changes in oropharyngeal airway parameters and hyoid position in skeletal ClassⅡ adult female patients with different vertical skeletal types who were treated with maxillary anterior teeth retraction with maximum anchorage, and to provide a reference for orthodontic clinical diagnosis and treatment. Methods: This study was reviewed and approved by the Medical Ethics Committee, and informed consent was obtained from patients. Sixty adult female patients with skeletal ClassⅡ were selected and divided into a skeletal ClassⅡ normodivergent group and a skeletal ClassⅡ hyperdivergent group based on the patients’ mandibular plane angle. In both groups, the bilateral maxillary first premolars were extracted and the maxillary anterior teeth were retracted with maximum anchorage. Cone beam CT(CBCT) images were collected before and after treatment, and three-dimensional measurement software was used to analyze oropharyngeal airway-related parameters. Results: After retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth with maximum anchorage, the 10 parameters related to the oropharyngeal airway did not exhibit statistically significant differences in the normodivergent group (P>0.05), but the perpendicular distance from the highest point of the hyoid bone to the vertical line passing through the sella (H-X) value decreased (P<0.001). In the hyperdivergent group, the oropharyngeal area at the level of the epiglottis tip (OPA-E), anterior-posterior diameters of the oropharynx at the level of the epiglottis tip (E-AP), most constricted axial area of the oropharynx (OPA-MCA), and anterior-posterior diameters of MCA area of the oropharynx (MCA-AP) decreased after treatment (P<0.001). In addition, the oropharyngeal volume (OPV) decreased after treatment (P<0.05), and the perpendicular distance from the highest point of the hyoid bone to the horizontal line passing through the sella (H-Y) and the highest point of the hyoid bone to the epiglottis base (H-Eb) values increased after treatment (P<0.05). Conclusion After retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth with maximum anchorage, there is no change in the oropharyngeal airway in skeletal ClassⅡ normodivergent female adult patients, while skeletal ClassⅡhyperdivergent female adult patients have a risk of reduction in the oropharyngeal airway after maximuim anchorage retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth.

ObjectiveTo explore the regulation of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal （HPG） axis by modified Erxian decoction in rats with perimenopausal syndrome （PMS） and to further analyze the expression of proteins related to the silent information regulator 1 （SIRT1）/hypothalamic kisspeptin （Kisspeptin）/gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH） signaling pathway in the arcuate nucleus region （ARC） of the hypothalamus， so as to reveal the potential target of action and molecular biological mechanism of modified Erxian decoction for the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome. MethodsAn animal model was established via the incomplete castration method， with successful modeling confirmed by the exfoliated cervical cell smear method. The 48 rats were divided into six groups based on the randomization principle after successful modeling， including a sham operation group， a model group， an estradiol valerate group （0.09 mg∙kg^-1∙d^-1）， high-， medium-， and low-dose modified Erxian decoction groups （7.614， 3.807，1.903 5 g∙kg^-1∙d^-1）， with 8 rats in each group. The estradiol valerate group and the high-， medium- and low-dose modified Erxian decoction groups were continuously administered by gavage for 28 days， and the indicators were detected 24 hours after the last administration. Body weights and uterine indices were measured. The pathological changes of the uterus were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was performed to measure the levels of estradiol （E₂）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， luteinizing hormone （LH）， and gonadotropin-releasing hormone （GnRH）. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were used to determine the expression levels of SIRT1， Kisspeptin， kisspeptin receptor （GPR54）， and GnRH in the ARC region of the hypothalamus and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor （GnRH-R） in pituitary. ResultsCompared with the sham operation group， rats in the model group had a significantly increased body weight （P0.01）， reduced wet weight and index of uterus （P0.01）， endometrial thinning or atrophy， glandular atrophy， and a decreasing number of glands. Additionally， serum levels of E₂ and the expression of SIRT1 in the ARC region of the hypothalamus significantly decreased （P0.01）. Serum levels of FSH， LH， and GnRH， the expression of Kisspeptin， GPR54， and GnRH in the ARC region of the hypothalamus， and GnRH-R in pituitary significantly increased （P0.01）. Compared with the model group， the estradiol valerate group and the high-， medium-dose modified Erxian decoction groups had significantly reduced body weight， serum levels of FSH， LH， and GnRH， and expression of Kisspeptin， GPR54， and GnRH in the ARC region of the hypothalamus and GnRH-R in pituitary （P0.05， P0.01） and significantly increased wet weight and index of uterus， serum level of E₂， and expression of SIRT1 in the ARC region of the hypothalamus （P0.05， P0.01）. In addition， they showed thickened endometrium， increased number of endometrial glands， and improved glandular atrophy. ConclusionModified Erxian decoction regulates the function of the HPG axis through multi-targets， and its mechanism of action may be related to the up-regulation of the expression of SIRT1 in the ARC region of the hypothalamus， the inhibition of the over-activation of the Kisspeptin/GnRH signaling pathway， the regulation of the expression of GnRH-R in the pituitary， the restoration of secretion balance of gonadotropins， and the elevation of the estrogen level. This study provides an experimental basis for the interpretation of the scientific connotation of modified Erxian decoction in the treatment of perimenopausal syndrome and a theoretical reference for the development of a novel therapeutic strategy based on the SIRT1/Kisspeptin/GnRH pathway.

Two researchers conducted independent quality evaluation, evidence extraction and summary of the literature. Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:A total of 11 studies were included with a total of 1 596 patients. The Meta-analysis showed that nursing interventions based on "Internet+" significantly improved the anxiety of patients with infertility ( SMD=-1.09, 95% CI-1.76- -0.43, P< 0.01), depression ( SMD=-0.98, 95% CI-1.42- -0.54, P<0.01), biochemical pregnancy rate ( OR=1.67, 95% CI 1.14- 2.44, P<0.01), clinical pregnancy rate ( OR=1.83, 95% CI 1.22- 2.73, P<0.01), but no effect on infertility pressure ( MD=-3.81, 95% CI-15.10- 7.47, P>0.05). Conclusions:The interventions based on "Internet+" can effectively improve anxiety, depression and pregnancy outcome, but there is no adequate evidence of a reduction on infertility stress in patients.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of oropharyngeal aspiration on reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia,in order to provide a basis for clinical operation and practice.Methods:CNKI, Wanfang, China Biology Medicine Disc, VIP, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL databases were searched for relevant studies on the effects of oropharyngeal attraction on ventilators associated pneumonia. At the same time, the included references were screened, and the search time limit was from the establishment of the database to January 1, 2023. The quality of the included literature was strictly evaluated and data extracted by two researchers with evidence-based training, and Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.4 software.Results:The results of meta-analysis showed that oropharyngeal aspiration could reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia ( OR=0.30, 95% CI 0.22-0.40, P<0.01) and shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation ( MD=-2.39, 95% CI -3.59--1.20, P<0.01) and reduced length of stay in ICU ( MD=-2.62, 95% CI -2.99--2.26, P<0.01). Conclusions:Strengthening oropharyngeal aspiration can reduce the incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with mechanical ventilation. In clinical practice, oropharyngeal aspiration should be performed when the position changes, and continuous aspiration can be performed if conditions are met.

Objective To explore the value of peripheral blood circulating DNA in predicting the efficacy and prognosis of immunotherapy for advanced non-small cell lung cancer.Method A retrospective study was conducted on 78 NSCLC patients who were admitted to the Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University and were treated with tirelizumab for advanced driver gene negativity from January 2021 to December 2021.After 2 cycles of immunotherapy,the efficacy was evaluated according to the Solid Tumor Efficacy Evaluation Criteria(RECIST 1.1),including complete remission,partial remission,disease stability,and disease progression.CR and PR patients were defined as the experimental group(n=48)Other patients were defined as the control group(n=30),and the ctDNA levels in peripheral blood were measured before and after treatment in both groups.ROC curves were used to analyze the predictive value of periph-eral blood ctDNA levels for achieving objective remission after immunotherapy.All patients were followed up and their progression free survival were calcutated.Using univariate and multivariate regression analysis identified the factors affecting the prognosis of patients after immunotherapy.Using Spearman correlation coefficient analyzed the correlation between ctDNA levels and PFS.Kalplan Meier survival curve were used for survival analysis.Result The peripheral blood ctDNA levels before and after treatment in the experimental group were(4.47±1.21)ng/μL and(2.65±1.14)ng/μL,respectively(t=7.559,P<0.001),while those in the control group were(4.54±1.15)ng/mL and(4.29±1.57)ng/μL,respectively(t=0.699,P=0.487).There was no statistically significant difference in peripheral blood ctDNA levels between the two groups before treatment(t=-0.25,P=0.801).The peripheral blood ctDNA levels in the experimental group decreased compared to the control group after treatment(t=-5.35,P<0.001).The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for predicting objective remission after immunotherapy based on peripheral blood ctDNA levels was 0.819,with a sensitivity of 81.3%and specificity of 80%.Peripheral blood ctDNA levels were negatively correlated with progression free survival(r=-0.784,P=0.000).Single factor COX regression was used to analyze the clinical and pathological characteristics and ctDNA levels of enrolled patients,and the results showed that the maximum tumor diameter was greater than 5 cm(HR=0.501,95%CI:6.731～35.567)Tumor stage IV(HR=0.392,95%CI:0.227～0.677),treatment approach(HR=15.473,95%CI:6.731～35.567),and ctDNA levels(HR=4.657,95%CI:3.182～6.555)are all influencing factors for PFS in advanced NSCLC patients after immunotherapy.Multiple factor analysis was conducted on the appeal indicators with statistical differences,and the results showed that treatment approach(HR=2.981,95%CI:1.019～8.722)and peripheral blood ctDNA levels(HR=3.918,95%CI:2.619～5.861)It is an independent influencing factor of PFS in advanced NSCLC patients.The Kalplan Meier survival curve was used for analysis,and the results showed that the median PFS of the treatment effective group was 8.4 months,while the median PFS of the control group was 5.4 months.(χ2=49.277,P=0.000).Conclusion Immunotherapy combined with chemotherapy can enhance the ability to kill tumor cells,and peripheral blood ctDNA levels can evaluate the efficacy and prognosis of immunotherapy,which can be used to guide immunotherapy in advanced NSCLC patients.
