Objective: To explore the interrelationships between mental vulnerability, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and positive psychological capital in medical postgraduates, so as to provide precise intervention targets for mental health services in universities. Methods: From April to June 2025, a convenience sampling method was used to select 1 461 medical postgraduates from three colleges in Hubei Province. Participants were assessed using the Mental Vulnerability Questionnaire (MVQ), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire-Chinese Version (CERQ-C) and the Positive Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PPQ). The network analysis model was constructed using a Gaussian graphical model. Results: The network analysis revealed that the edge connection between somatic symptoms and mental symptoms was the strongest, followed by the connection between refocus on planning and positive reappraisal within cognitive emotion regulation, with edge weights of 0.69 and 0.59, respectively. Interpersonal problems within psychological vulnerability exhibited the highest expected influence( EI =1.27), serving as the core node of the network. Rumination within cognitive emotion regulation demonstrated the highest bridge expected influence( BEI =0.33), playing a critical connecting role among psychological vulnerability, cognitive emotion regulation, and positive psychological capital. Conclusion In the mental health network of medical postgraduates, mental vulnerability, cognitive emotion regulation, and positive psychological capital interact through their respective key dimensions, jointly affect overall mental health.

Xuefu zhuyu decoction is a classic formula for promoting blood circulation and resolving blood stasis， characterised by its remarkable ability to treat different diseases with the same approach. Qi stagnation and blood stasis， the primary syndrome for which this formula is indicated， has been found through modern medical research to be intrinsically linked to a wide range of pathophysiological processes， including microcirculatory disorders， abnormalities in hemorheology， inflammatory responses and endothelial dysfunction； which opens up vast scope for the innovative application of traditional formulas. In terms of pharmacological effect and mechanism， the formula exerts a synergistic regulatory effect across multiple key pathological pathways， including the regulation of coagulation function， the maintenance of vascular structure and function， anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions， the mitigation of oxidative stress， and the modulation of programmed cell death （such as pyroptosis and ferroptosis）. This systematically demonstrates its scientific rationale， which is based on integrated regulation through multiple constituents， multiple targets and multiple pathways. In terms of clinical application， the formula has expanded from cardiovascular diseases to multiple disciplines， including gastroenterology， respiratory medicine， urology， neurology， endocrinology， gynaecology and andrology， with evidence-based medical evidence continuing to accumulate. Current research still faces bottlenecks such as a relatively low level of clinical evidence， insufficient systems biology analysis of the mechanisms underlying the compound’s formulation， and a weak correlation between quality control indicators and therapeutic efficacy. Future efforts should focus on conducting multicentre randomised controlled trials for conditions where the formula demonstrates particular efficacy， deepening research into the relationship between integrated pharmacology and spectrum-efficacy relationship， and promoting the precise application and formulation innovation of classical herbal formulas.

Objective To prepare virus-like particles (VLPs) for yellow fever virus (YFV) using the pACYCDuet-1 single-plasmid dual expression system. Methods Gene fragments including NS1, NS5, and 5' untranslated region (UTR) and 3' UTR fragment of YFV were cloned into the expression plasmid pACYCDuet-1-MS2-TMpac (carrying MS2 coat protein gene) and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3) for expression. VLPs were observed by TEM. After DNase I/RNase A digestion, RNA was extracted and transcribed into cDNA, which was subjected to fluorescence quantitative PCR detection. Results According to SN/T 3560-2013, double digestion and colony PCR of pACYCDuet-1-MS2-TMpac-YFV both produced expected bands. SDS-PAGE showed a target band at 25-35 kDa. RT-PCR amplified VLPs after enzyme digestion, and TEM revealed VLPs with clear edges and translucent interiors. Thus, the plasmid was successfully constructed, and the phage coat protein packaged YFV genes with nuclease resistance. Conclusion VLPs containing specific gene fragments of yellow fever virus have been successfully prepared. These nuclease-resistant VLPs can serve as safe and stable quality control materials to ensure the reliability of laboratory detection for YFV.

Objective: To analyze the factors associated with high level fear of negative evaluation (FNE) among junior high school students and to construct a nomogram risk prediction model, so as to provide scientific tools for psychological health intervention for junior high school students. Methods: A convenience sampling combined with cluster random sampling method was used to select 5 485 junior high school students from 4 cities (Wuhan, Huanggang, Xianning and Xiaogan) for an online questionnaire survey in March 2025. The total sample was randomly split into a training set ( n =3 839) and a validation set ( n =1 646). Univariate analysis was performed in the training set using Chi-square test and t-test. Variables with statistical significance were subsequently included in multivariate Logistic regression to identify independent predictors and to construct a nomogram based risk prediction model. The discriminative ability and clinical utility of the model were evaluated in the validation set using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), calibration curve, and decision curve analysis (DCA). Results: There were 1 649 junior high school students with low level FNE and 2 190 with high level FNE in the training set. The self control ability of junior high school students with lowlevel and high level FNE showed a statistically significant difference (23.96±3.96, 21.48±3.37, t=25.15, P < 0.01 ). Statistically significant differences in the detection rate of high level FNE were observed among junior high school students with different genders, family types, parenting styles, academic rankings, psychological flexibility, mobile phone addiction tendencies, emotional management training, exercise frequency, left behind experiences, and places of origin ( χ 2=82.01- 1 126.68 , all P <0.01). The results of Logistic regression analysis revealed that, the following factors were identified as significant factors influencing high level FNE among junior high school students:exercise frequency ( OR=0.21, 95%CI =0.17-0.26); parenting style ( OR=0.48, 95%CI =0.40-0.58); left behind experience ( OR=3.88, 95%CI =3.27-4.61); smartphone addiction proneness ( OR=2.19, 95%CI =0.89-0.93); self-control ability ( OR=0.91, 95%CI =0.89-0.93); and psychological flexibility ( OR=0.16, 95%CI =0.10-0.28) (all P <0.05). The AUC for the training and validation set were 0.88 (95% CI =0.87-0.89) and 0.87 (95% CI =0.85-0.89), respectively. The Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test yielded χ 2=8.57, 15.20 (both P >0.05). Conclusion The risk prediction model with high level FNE demonstrates good accuracy and can assist educators and parents in timely screening of junior high school students with high level FNE, thereby providing a basis for implementing targeted interventions.

ObjectiveThis study employed the scoping review method to systematically retrieve and analyze the basic information and clinical research evidence of expensive Chinese patent medicines （CPMs）， aiming to provide a basis for future related research and clinical applications. MethodsEight Chinese and English databases were systematically searched for the clinical research evidence on expensive CPMs. ResultsEleven expensive CPMs （Angong Niuhuang Wan， Jufang Zhibao Wan， Suhexiang Wan， Pien Tze Huang， Niuhuang Qingxin Wan， Qinggong Shoutao Wan， Compound Realgar Natural Indigo Tablets， Xihuang Wan， Dingkun Wan， Babao Wan， and Guilingji Capsules） were selected. A total of 365 related studies were included in this review， comprising 331 clinical studies （of which 291 were randomized controlled trials）， 30 systematic reviews and Meta-analyses， 3 expert consensus， and 1 rapid health technology assessment. Among the 11 CPMs， 2（Angong Niuhuang Wan and Jufang Zhibao Wan） had a daily price over 500 yuan. The famous and precious Chinese medicinal materials involved included Moschus （frequency of 7）， Bovisc Alculus （7）， and Borneol （5）. The dosage forms included pills， capsules， oral liquid， tablets， and lozenges. The diseases treated by these CPMs mainly included malignant tumors， cerebrovascular diseases， gynecological diseases， and hepatobiliary system diseases. The sample sizes of the clinical studies were mainly concentrated within the range of 51-100 cases， and the main control form was CPM + basic Western medicine treatment vs. basic Western medicine treatment. The 331 clinical studies reported a total of 44 adverse events occurred， of which 36 were determined to be adverse reactions. ConclusionThe scarcity of raw materials leads to the high prices of expensive CPMs. The difficulty of conducting clinical research and the critical and severe cases treated lead to a lack of clinical research evidence with large sample sizes. The uneven distribution of existing studies， incomplete information on medicine package， and non-standard clinical research designs remain to be addressed in the future.

POEMS syndrome is a rare condition associated with plasma cell disorders， and it often involves multiple systems and has diverse clinical manifestations. This article reports two cases of POEMS syndrome with hepatosplenomegaly as the initial manifestation. During the course of the disease， the patients presented with lower limb weakness， hepatosplenomegaly， lymph node enlargement， ascites， hypothyroidism， positive M protein， and skin hyperpigmentation， and ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT imaging revealed bone lesions mainly characterized by osteolytic changes and plasma cell tumors. There was an increase in the serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor. The patients were finally diagnosed with POEMS syndrome， and the symptoms were relieved after immunomodulatory treatment.

Objective To investigate the correlation of serum estradiol(E2),relaxin(RLX)levels and pelvic floor ultrasound parameters with the severity of postpartum stress urinary incontinence(PSUI)in patients.Methods A total of 144 patients with PSUI were enrolled in the PSUI group.According to the severity of the disease,they were divided into mild(n=59),moderate(n=55)and severe groups(n=30).Another 91 healthy postpartum women were selected as control group during the same period.General data of the PSUI group and the control group were compared.Serum E2 and RLX levels in patients with different severity levels were analyzed.Pelvic floor ultrasound parameters among groups were compared.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the influen-cing factors for the occurrence of PSUI.The correlations of serum E2,RLX levels and pelvic floor ul-trasound parameters with the severity of PSUI were analyzed.Results The serum RLX level in the PSUI group was significantly higher than that in the control group,while the E2 level was significantly lower(P＜0.05).The serum E2 level in the severe group was significantly lower than that in the moderate group and mild group,while the RLX level was significantly higher(P＜0.05).The proportions of multiple births,vaginal delivery,family history of urinary incontinence,mediolateral episiotomy and high serum RLX level as well as low serum E2 level in the PSUI group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05).In the mild group,moderate group and severe group,the bladder-urethral posterior angle(PUA),urethral tilt angle(UTA),levator hiatus area as well as Valsalva maneuver-related urethral rotation angle(URA),bladder neck descent(BND)at rest and during maximum Valsalva maneuver increased sequentially(P＜0.05).In the mild group,moder-ate group,and severe group,the bladder position(BDP)and bladder neck position(BNP)during Valsalva maneuver decreased sequentially(P＜0.05).The funnel formation rate of the internal ure-thral orifice in the PSUI group and the control group were 22.22％(32/144)and 6.59％(6/91),respectively.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that parity,vaginal delivery,family history of urinary incontinence,mediolateral episiotomy and serum E2 and RLX levels were influen-cing factors for the occurrence of PSUI(P＜0.05).Serum RLX levels and pelvic floor ultrasound parameters in PSUI patients were positively correlated with disease severity(r=0.573,0.590,P＜0.05),while serum E2 levels were negatively correlated with disease severity(r=-0.584,P＜0.001).Conclusion Serum E2 levels are negatively correlated with the severity of PSUI,while se-rum RLX levels and pelvic floor ultrasound parameters are positively correlated with the severity of PSUI.Parity,vaginal delivery,family history of urinary incontinence,mediolateral episiotomy and serum E2 and RLX levels are influencing factors for the occurrence of PSUI.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of establishing canine rectovaginal fistula ani-mal model using magnetic surgery techniques.Methods Ten female Beagle dogs were randomly di-vided into study group(n=5)and control group(n=5).The study group underwent rectovaginal fistula modeling using magnetic surgery technology,while the control group was subjected to sharp puncture of the rectovaginal septum followed by indwelling rubber tube placement to establish the model.Surgical procedure duration and postoperative adverse events were recorded in both groups.Two weeks later,the magnets and rubber tubes were removed.The formation of rectovaginal fistulas in the animals of two groups was observed,and the success rates of model construction of two groups were statistically analyzed.Results Both groups successfully completed the preparation of the recto-vaginal fistula models.The operative time in both groups was less than 2 minutes.No adverse events such as magnet detachment were observed in the study group during the postoperative period.In the control group,the rubber tube dislodged on day 6 post-surgery in one dog,leading to spontaneous healing of the fistula.Two weeks after surgery,the magnets and rubber tubes were removed.Naked-eye observation showed that the rectovaginal fistula formed well in the experimental dogs of the study group,while the rectovaginal fistula formed well in 4 experimental dogs in the control group.The success rate of model construction in the study group was 100％,and was 80％in the control group.Conclusion The construction of a canine rectovaginal fistula model by magnetosurgical techniques has the advantages of simple operation and high success rate.Magnetosurgical techniques may serve as an ideal animal model for constructing and studying the histopathological changes and treatment methods of rectovaginal fistulas.

Objective: To explore the effect of tumor cell perineural invasion on the prognosis of cervical cancer and the early predictive factors of perineural invasion in patients with cervical cancer. Methods: A retrospective a⁃ nalysis was conducted on the clinical , pathological , and survival data of 551 patients with cervical cancer. These patients were categorized into a survival group (n = 477) and a death group (n = 74) . The baseline characteristics of the two groups were compared using independent samples t ⁃tests , Wilcoxon rank⁃sum tests , and chi⁃square tests.Multivariate binary Logistic stepwise regression analysis was employed to identify independent risk factors associated with mortality. In addition , univariate Logistic regression analysis was performed to determine predictive factors for perineural invasion. A predictive model for perineural invasion in cervical cancer was subsequently developed based on the multivariate regression equation , and its predictive accuracy was assessed using the ROC curve. Results: In the basic data of cervical cancer patients , the high level of perineural invasion , lymphatic metastasis and postopera⁃tive pathological stage in pathological data had an impact on the poor prognosis of patients ( P < 0 . 0 5 ) , Lympho⁃vascular space invasion , parametrial involvement , and tumor invasion depth ≥ 1/2 were identified as significant predictors of PNI. The predictive value was the best in the multivariate model ( Area under the curve = 0. 80) . Conclusion Perineural invasion is an independent risk factor for poor prognosis of cervical cancer patients , and the occurrence of perineural invasion can be effectively predicted by the constructed multivariate mode.
