ObjectiveThe effects of two microbial fertilizers (Bacillus subtilis fertilizer and Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer) on the growth and development, the accumulation of active ingredients, and the microbial community diversity of rhizosphere soil of Atractylodes chinensis were investigated. MethodsA field experiment was carried out with two-year-old Atractylodes chinensis as the test material. Plant samples were collected during the wilt stage (September 26, 2023) to determine the general agronomic traits of Atractylodes chinensis. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was utilized to evaluate the effects of microbial fertilizers on the synthesis and accumulation of four active ingredients (atractylodin, atractylon, β-eudesmol, and atractylenolide Ⅰ) in Atractylodes chinensi. PacBio Sequel sequencing technology was used to explore the differences in bacterial community structures and diversity in the rhizosphere soil of Atractylodes chinensis treated with different microbial fertilizers. ResultsThe two microbial fertilizers had significant growth-promoting effects on Atractylodes chinensis. Compared with those of the CK group, the stem diameter, stem and leaf dry and fresh weight, and rhizome dry and fresh weight of Atractylodes chinensis significantly increased by 0.47-1.07 times (P<0.05) after the application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer (16 kg/667 m2), and those significantly increased by 0.62-0.96 times (P<0.05) after the application of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer (1.5 kg/667 m2). The effect on plant height was not significant. The application of two microbial fertilizers was beneficial to the accumulation of atractylodin, atractylon, β-eudesmol, and atractylenolide Ⅰ (P<0.01), and the effect of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer on the accumulation of active ingredients of Atractylodes chinensis was better than that of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. The results of high-throughput sequencing showed that compared with the CK group, the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer (8 kg/667 m2) could significantly increase the diversity of rhizosphere bacterial species by regulating the Simpson index and Shannon index (P<0.05), and the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer significantly reduced the bacterial diversity (P<0.05). The relative abundance of dominant bacteria was compared at the phylum and genus levels. The relative abundance of Proteobacteria (45.73%) and Burkholderia_Caballeronia_Paraburkholderia (9.98%) significantly increased after the application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer (P<0.01), and the relative abundance of Acidobacteriota (20.53%) and Sphingomonas (3.63%) increased significantly (P<0.01) after the application of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. The relative abundance of beneficial bacteria in the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer was slightly higher than that in the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer. Pearson correlation analysis showed that Burkholderia_Caballeronia_Paraburkholderia and Sphingomonas were positively correlated with the content of atractylodin, atractylon, β-eudesmol, and atractylenolide Ⅰ (P<0.05). ConclusionThe application of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer and Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer can increase the yield of medicinal materials and promote the synthesis and accumulation of active ingredients by regulating the rhizosphere microecological diversity of Atractylodes chinensis, and the application effect of the Bacillus subtilis fertilizer is better than that of the Trichoderma harzianum-Purpureocillium lilacinum compound fertilizer.

Two novel skeleton sesquiterpenoids (1 and 6), along with four new iphionane-type sesquiterpenes (2-5) and six new cyperane-type sesquiterpenes (7-11), were isolated from the whole plant of Artemisia hedinii (A. hedinii). The two novel skeleton compounds (1 and 6) were derived from the decarbonization of iphionane and cyperane-type sesquiterpenes, respectively. Their structures were elucidated through a comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data, including high-resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HR-ESI-MS) and 1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra. The absolute configurations were determined using electronic circular dichroism (ECD) spectra, single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses, time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) ECD calculation, density functional theory (DFT) NMR calculations, and biomimetic syntheses. The biomimetic syntheses of the two novel skeletons (1 and 6) were inspired by potential biogenetic pathways, utilizing a predominant eudesmane-type sesquiterpene (A) in A. hedinii as the substrate. All compounds were evaluated in LX-2 cells for their anti-hepatic fibrosis activity. Compounds 2, 8, and 10 exhibited significant activity in downregulating the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), a protein involved in hepatic fibrosis.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of the neural network model in segmenting gout tophus in the first metatarsophalangeal(MTP1)joint ultrasound images.Methods:A total of 1 218 tophus images from 381 patients who underwent MTP1 ultrasound examinations in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between May 2023 and December 2024 were prospectively collected. The images were divided into training,validation,and test sets in a ratio of 7∶2∶1. Multiple neural network models were trained to automatically identify and segment tophus in the images,with physician-annotated tophus regions serving as the reference standard. Model performance was evaluated in the test set,and the impact of tophus characteristics(e.g.,echogenicity,size,and presence of bone erosion)on segmentation efficacy was analyzed.Results:In the test set,CMUNeXt demonstrated superior tophus segmentation performance versus Unet,Unet++,TransUnet,and CMU-Net,achieving an accuracy of 99.1%,precision of 79.1%,recall of 84.6%,intersection over union of 68.8%,and Dice similarity coefficient of 80.2%. Logistic regression identified tophus echogenicity,size,and bone erosion as independent efficacy factors OR(95% CI)=7.275(1.598-33.129),21.303(4.282-105.985),13.520(3.617-50.530),0.076(0.007-0.823)(all P<0.05). Hypoechoic tophus demonstrated significantly superior segmentation performance compared to mixed-echoic and isoechoic tophus(all P<0.05),and lesions with larger maximum diameters(>10 mm)were segmented more effectively than smaller tophus( P<0.05). Conclusions:The CMUNeXt model enables accurate identification and segmentation of tophus in MTP1 ultrasound images,particularly excelling for larger and hypoechoic lesions. This approach holds significant promise for AI-assisted diagnosis of MTP1 gouty arthritis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of a cetyl alcohol-containing moisturizing cream (referred to as the emollient) in improving clinical symptoms and preventing disease relapse during the remission phase of mild to moderate infantile atopic dermatitis (AD).Methods:A single-center, investigator-blinded, randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted from February 2022 to October 2023. Sixty participants aged >28 days to ≤2 years with mild to moderate AD (Investigator′s Global Assessment (IGA) score 2 or 3) and controlled disease (IGA 0 or 1) were enrolled. Participants were randomized 1∶1 to either the experimental group (topical emollient applied twice daily combined with a moisturizing cleanser for daily bathing) or the control group (moisturizing cleanser alone). Assessments at weeks 2, 4, 8, and 12 included AD relapse rates, clinical severity scores (IGA and Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI)), and adverse events.Results:Fifty-six participants were included in the full analysis set. The median time to relapse was 12.0 (6.0-72.0) days in the experimental group versus 8.5 (3.0-19.0) days in the control group (log-rank test: χ2=3.079, P=0.213). Relapse rates were 80.77% (21/26) in the experimental group and 95.83% (23/24) in the control group ( χ2=2.682, P=0.101). The experimental group showed significantly lower IGA scores at weeks 2 and 12 ( P<0.05) and lower EASI scores at weeks 4 and 12 ( P<0.05). Adverse event rates were 8.0% (2/25) and 7.7% (2/26) in the experimental and control groups, respectively ( χ2=0.002, P>0.05) Conclusion:The combination of the cetyl alcohol- containing moisturizing cream and moisturizing cleanser during AD remission may improve clinical symptoms and modestly delay relapse, with a low incidence of adverse events.
