ObjectiveTo construct a standardized diagnostic scale for Qi-Yin deficiency with blood stasis syndrome in diabetic macrovascular disease. MethodsLiterature related to Qi-Yin deficiency with blood stasis syndrome in diabetic macrovascular disease was retrieved from CNKI， VIP， and Wanfang databases. Diagnostic information from four diagnostic methods was extracted and standardized， with items having a frequency of ≥15 included in the item pool. A three-round Delphi expert consultation was conducted， screening items using support degree， mean score， rank sum， and coefficient of variation. Item weights were determined using analytic hierarchy process （AHP）， gactor analysis （FA）， and combined weighting method （CWM）. The optimal weighting method was selected by comparing the area under the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve （AUC）. The Youden index was calculated to establish the diagnostic cutoff value， which was proportionally scaled. ResultsA total of 102 studies were included. Thirty-five items were incorporated into the item pool. The authority coefficients for the three Delphi rounds were 0.82， 0.85， and 0.86， with coordination coefficients of 0.648， 0.538， and 0.506， respectively. Fifteen items were retained after screening. ROC curve analysis showed the AUC ranking as FA > CWM > AHP. The maximum Youden index was 0.814， corresponding to a diagnostic cutoff of 8.361 （scaled to 40 points）. The final scale adopted a structured diagnostic framework： the symptom dimension requires at least 2 items， and the tongue or pulse dimension requires at least 1 category. ConclusionThis study developed a standardized diagnostic scale for Qi-Yin deficiency with blood stasis syndrome in diabetic macrovascular disease. Core items were screened via the Delphi method， with factor analysis identified as the optimal weighting method through AUC comparison. The diagnostic threshold （40 points） and structured diagnostic framework provide a quantitatively clear， clinically practical tool.

ObjectiveTo explore the establishment of a rat model of diabetic macrovascular atherosclerosis （DMA） with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome induced by high-fat diet， streptozotocin （STZ）， and Yin-depleting herbs， and to evaluate its biological characteristics. MethodsForty SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group （n=10） and a modeling group （n=30）. Except for the blank group， rats in the model group were fed a high-fat diet for 4 weeks， followed by intraperitoneal injection of STZ （30 mg·kg^-1） to establish a diabetic model. Twenty-four successfully modeled diabetic rats were randomly divided into a model group （n=7）， a Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome group （n=8）， and a counter-syndrome group （n=9）. Except for the model group， rats received intragastric administration of Yin-depleting herbs （1.2 g·kg^-1） for 8 weeks. The counter-syndrome group was further treated with Shenqi compound formula （1.69 g·kg^-1） for an additional 8 weeks. General condition and body weight were recorded， and syndrome-related indicators were assessed， including precordial temperature， skin moisture content， grip strength， open-field test performance， and tongue appearance. Serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， endothelin-1 （ET-1）， vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM-1）， insulin-like growth factor-1 （IGF-1）， and monocyte chemotactic protein-1 （MCP-1） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Fasting blood glucose， blood lipids， hemorheological parameters， and coagulation function were analyzed using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Vascular ultrasound and hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining were used to evaluate vascular lesions. ResultsIn terms of syndrome manifestations， compared with the blank group， body weight increased rapidly during the first 5 weeks in the model， Qi and Yin deficiency， and counter-syndrome groups. After STZ injection combined with Yin-depleting herbal administration at week 5， body weight decreased significantly （P<0.01） and continued to decline until the end of the experiment. Rats exhibited decreased activity， irritability， coarse and yellowish fur with obvious shedding， polydipsia， polyphagia， frequent urination， and dry stools， which were most pronounced in the Qi and Yin deficiency group. Grip strength decreased， peak activity time occurred earlier， total distance in the open-field test was reduced， and residence time was prolonged. Precordial temperature decreased （P<0.01）， while paw temperature increased （P<0.05）， and skin moisture and oil content were reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In terms of disease-related indicators， compared with the blank group， fasting blood glucose was significantly increased （>16.7 mmol·L^-1） in the model and Qi and Yin deficiency groups， and blood lipid levels were significantly elevated （P<0.05）. Vascular-related factors ET-1， MCP-1， VCAM-1， and VEGF were significantly increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， while IGF-1 was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Pathological examination of the aortic valve showed valvular thickening and structural disorganization. Carotid artery examination revealed discontinuity of the intima， foam cell accumulation beneath the intima， disordered smooth muscle arrangement， and widened intercellular spaces. Compared with the model group， ET-1， MCP-1， and VEGF levels were significantly decreased in both the Qi and Yin deficiency group and the counter-syndrome group. The reductions in ET-1 and MCP-1 were more pronounced in the Qi and Yin deficiency group （P<0.01）， while the decrease in VCAM-1 was more significant in the counter-syndrome group （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， the Qi and Yin deficiency group showed significantly prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）， thrombin time （TT）， and prothrombin time （PT） （P<0.01）. The erythrocyte deformability index （TK）， erythrocyte sedimentation rate， erythrocyte electrophoresis index， and whole blood low-shear viscosity all showed increasing trends. Vascular ultrasound revealed reduced arterial blood flow velocity， increased vascular resistance， and intimal thickening without plaque formation. The aortic intima showed no obvious overall thickening， with only occasional localized thickening and foam cell presence， and carotid artery injury was observed. ConclusionA rat model of DMA with Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome was successfully established using high-fat diet feeding combined with STZ injection and Yin-depleting herbal administration. Shenqi compound formula effectively alleviated Qi and Yin deficiency syndrome， regulated glucose and lipid metabolism， improved hemorheological and coagulation function， reduced vascular lesion severity， and demonstrated potential for early prevention and treatment of DMA.

OBJECTIVE To establish a standardized management system for emergency medicines in medical institutions of Sichuan Province， so as to improve the timeliness， safety and accessibility of emergency medicine use.METHODS A multidisciplinary expert team consisting of specialists in emergency medicine， pharmacy and nursing was set up. In accordance with evidence-based principles， relevant domestic and international policies， guidelines and literature were systematically sorted out. Combined with the results of investigations on the current situation of medical institutions at all levels within the province， multiple rounds of thematic seminars of the steering expert group were organized. The Delphi method was applied to carry out two rounds of expert questionnaire consultation. After item-by-item revision and final expert review， the Expert Consensus on the Management of Emergency Medicines in Medical Institutions of Sichuan Province （hereinafter referred to as the Consensus ） was finally developed.RESULTS&CONCLUSIONS This Consensus constructs a three-tier catalog allocation model of “basic standard configuration + specialty adaptation + emergency reserve”. A set of standardized management specifications were formulated covering the selection， stock reserve， storage and maintenance， clinical application， supply and allocation， quality control and training， and informatization management of emergency medicines. The Consensus can provide a practical basis for the standardized， homogeneous and refined management of emergency medicines in medical institutions of Sichuan Province， and help enhance the capacity of medication guarantee and the level of medical safety management for the treatment of critical and severe patients across the province.

During habitation on low-Earth-orbit (LEO) space stations, astronauts are exposed to a combination of orbital microgravity, space radiation, an enclosed and artificially controlled cabin environment, altered sleep-wake rhythms, and sustained operational and psychosocial demands. These factors can modify sensorimotor inputs, body-fluid distribution, arousal state, and task-related neural processing, thereby affecting brain function and behavior. Because evidence from real spaceflight remains limited by small samples, heterogeneous mission durations, and different measurement time points, this review integrates findings from real human spaceflight with relevant ground-based analog studies while treating real orbital studies as the primary source of evidence. We focus on electroencephalography (EEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs), structural and functional neuroimaging, and sensorimotor and cognitive outcomes, with particular attention to the direction, anatomical distribution, temporal course, and possible physiological significance of the reported changes. EEG studies indicate that long-duration spaceflight is associated with increased resting-state beta activity, particularly in sensorimotor and frontotemporal regions, together with state-dependent alterations in beta-band functional connectivity. In contrast, alpha source power and functional connectivity associated with the default mode network are reduced during long-duration missions, and some of these effects may persist into the early postflight period. Task-related electrophysiological findings further suggest that sustained mental workload can weaken frontocentral theta-temporoparietal gamma phase-amplitude coupling, whereas in-flight decision-making is accompanied by reduced P300 amplitude and reorganization of feedback-related potentials. Short-duration missions, however, have shown relative preservation of posterior dominant rhythms and some ERP measures, indicating that mission duration, recording state, and task demands substantially influence the observed electrophysiological phenotype. Neuroimaging provides complementary evidence at structural and network levels. Long-duration spaceflight has been associated with upward brain displacement, ventricular and cerebrospinal fluid expansion, regional gray- and white-matter remodeling, and alterations in white-matter structural connectivity. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies further indicate reorganization of vestibular-sensorimotor, visual, and default mode networks. Some network changes recover after return to Earth, whereas others may remain detectable for months. Importantly, most MRI measurements are obtained after landing rather than in orbit; therefore, postflight findings may reflect a mixture of in-flight adaptation, the rapid transition back to 1 g, and subsequent readaptation rather than a single spaceflight effect. Behavioral evidence is most consistent for sensorimotor function. Early after return, astronauts frequently show impaired postural control, gait, spatial orientation, and coordination, consistent with reweighting among vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive information. By comparison, simple cognition and some critical operational tasks are often preserved. More subtle or high-load processes-including sustained attention, feedback evaluation, temporal processing, error monitoring, and metacognitive calibration may be more sensitive than global cognitive performance. This dissociation between neural change and preserved behavior suggests that altered brain activity should not automatically be interpreted as functional deterioration. Integrating the available modalities, we propose that LEO space-station habitation is better characterized by system-specific and stage-dependent neural adaptation than by a generalized increase or decline in brain function. The most coherent cross-modal pattern involves sensorimotor reorganization: reduced gravitational reference and weight-bearing feedback under microgravity may drive reweighting of vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive inputs, accompanied by changes in beta activity and vestibular-sensorimotor networks and followed by transient postflight sensorimotor deficits. A second major process involves fluid-related structural remodeling, in which cephalad fluid shifts and altered hydrostatic gradients may contribute to changes in cerebrospinal fluid spaces, ventricular volume, and brain tissue configuration. Resting-state and cognitive electrophysiological changes likely represent additional adjustments in network regulation and resource allocation, but their functional interpretation remains more dependent on sleep, workload, recording conditions, and individual differences. Future studies should move beyond isolated pre-post comparisons and group averages toward standardized longitudinal designs spanning preflight, multiple in-flight time points, and postflight recovery. Synchronized assessment of brain function, behavior, sleep, and key environmental parameters should be used to characterize individual adaptation trajectories and determine which neural changes reflect successful compensation, which predict delayed recovery, and which have genuine value for brain-health risk prediction and individualized countermeasures.

OBJECTIVE To systematically investigate the changes of volatile components in Euphorbia wallichii after milk and wine processing， and preliminarily elucidate the material basis for reducing toxicity. METHODS Using headspace gas chromatography-mass spectrometry technology， the volatile components in raw E. wallichii， milk-processed E. wallichii， and wine- processed E. wallichii were isolated and identified， and the relative percentage content of each component was calculated by the peak area normalization method. Combining chemometric methods such as principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least- squares discriminant analysis， changes in volatile components in samples after milk and wine processing were compared. Differential components were screened. RESULTS A total of 66 volatile components were identified from the three samples， with the types of compounds primarily comprising alkanes， olefins， heterocycles and esters， among others. A total of 39， 24 and 36 volatile components were identified from raw E. wallichii， milk-processed E. wallichii， and wine-processed E. wallichii， respectively， with 10 components common to all three preparations. Compared with raw E. wallichii， the relative percentage of other components in milk-processed E. wallichii decreased， except for alkanes and esters. The relative percentage of alkanes， olefins， aldehydes and esters in wine-processed E. wallichii increased， but the contents of heterocyclic compounds， ketones， ethers and alcohols decreased. The results of chemometric analysis showed that the volatile components of raw and processed products were significantly different. A total of 5 kinds of differential components in milk-processed products and 3 kinds of differential components in wine-processed products were screened out. Among them， the relative percentage of potential toxic components such as linalool， octanal and 3-pentanone decreased significantly after processing（P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Milk and wine processing may exert a toxicity-reducing effect by reducing the contents of toxic components such as linalool， octanal and 3-pentanonein E. wallichii.

A high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS) method was established for simultaneous determination of seven characteristic components from the active fraction of Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma in rat plasma, including galangin, kaempferol, kaempferide, pinocembrin, 1,7-diphenyl-4-en-3-heptanone, 5-hydroxy-7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-3-heptanone(DHPA), and 7-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1-phenyl-4-en-3-heptanone(DPHB). The new developed HPLC-MS/MS method was applied to study the pharmacokinetics of the 7 characteristic components in rats with Helicobacter pylori gastritis. A Waters Sunfire C_(18) column(2.1 mm×150 mm, 3.5 μm) was used. The acetonitrile-aqueous solution(containing 0.1% formic acid) was adopted as the mobile phase for gradient elution. Seven components and internal standard(chlorogenic acid) were separated within 12 min. Mass spectrometric detection was performed in multiple reaction monitoring(MRM) mode using electrospray ionization(ESI) source with fast switching between positive and negative ions. The method was verified by specificity, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, matrix effect, and stability and met the requirements of pharmacokinetic study on the 7 components in rat plasma. Pharmacokinetic results showed that the average peak time(T_(max)) of the 7 components was 0.31-2.19 h, their elimination half-life(t_(1/2)) was 5.26-16.65 h, and the average residence time(MRT) was 6.29-31.03 h after the oral administration of the active fraction of Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma to rats with H. pylori gastritis. The plasma exposure levels of galangin and DHPA were higher than those of the other components. The concentration-time curves of four detected flavonoids showed obvious double peaks. This study elucidated the pharmacokinetic characteristics of 7 characteristic components from the active fraction of Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma in rats with H. pylori gastritis, providing a scientific basis for the identification of the pharmacodynamic substances of Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma for treatment of H. pylori gastritis and the clinical application of Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma in the prevention and treatment of H. pylori gastritis.

Panax species are mostly valuable medicinal plants. While some species' seeds are sensitive to dehydration, the dehydration tolerance of seeds from other Panax species remains unclear. The phospholipase D(PLD) gene plays an important role in plant responses to dehydration stress. However, the characteristics of the PLD gene family and their mechanisms of response to dehydration stress in seeds of Panax species with different dehydration tolerances are not well understood. This study used seeds from eight Panax species to measure the germination rates and PLD activity after dehydration and to analyze the correlation between dehydration tolerance and seed traits. Bioinformatics analysis was also conducted to characterize the PnPLD and PvPLD gene families and to evaluate their expression patterns under dehydration stress. The dehydration tolerance of Panax seeds was ranked from high to low as follows: P. ginseng, P. zingiberensis, P. quinquefolius, P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, P. japonicus var. angustifolius, P. japonicus, P. notoginseng, and P. stipuleanatus. A significant negative correlation was found between dehydration tolerance and seed shape(three-dimensional variance), with flatter seeds exhibiting stronger dehydration tolerance(r=-0.792). Eighteen and nineteen PLD members were identified in P. notoginseng and P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, respectively. These members were classified into five isoforms: α, β, γ, δ, and ζ. The gene structures, subcellular localization, physicochemical properties, and other characteristics of PnPLD and PvPLD were similar. Both promoters contained regulatory elements associated with plant growth and development, hormone responses, and both abiotic and biotic stress. During dehydration, the PLD enzyme activity in P. notoginseng seeds gradually increased as the water content decreased, whereas in P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, PLD activity first decreased and then increased. The expression of PLDα and PLDδ in P. notoginseng seeds initially increased and then decreased, whereas in P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus, the expression of PLDα and PLDδ consistently decreased. In conclusion, the dehydration tolerance of Panax seeds showed a significant negative correlation with seed shape. The dehydration tolerance in P. vietnamensis var. fuscidiscus and dehydration sensitivity of P. notoginseng seeds may be related to differences in PLD enzyme activity and the expression of PLDα and PLDδ genes. This study provided the first systematic comparison of dehydration tolerance in Panax seeds and analyzed the causes of tolerance differences and the optimal water content for long-term storage at ultra-low temperatures, thus providing a theoretical basis for the short-term and ultra-low temperature long-term storage of medicinal plant seeds with varying dehydration tolerances.

Abstract Among women of reproductive age, pelvic inflammatory disease is a prevalent gynecological condition. In its early stages, it may be mild or asymptomatic. If treatment is delayed, there is a high likelihood of recurrence, which can have a major impact on women′s reproductive health and raise the financial, emotional, and physical load on the family. Significant advancements in the treatment of chronic pelvic inflammatory disease have been made possible by the thorough investigation of this condition. In an effort to advance the health management of this illness and offer fresh concepts for clinical treatment, this review discusses a number of facets of both Chinese and Western medicine.
