Hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection is the primary cause of viral hepatitis and represents a substantial disease burden in China. However， effective and safe agents capable of completely eliminating HBV DNA are still lacking. In modern medicine， anti-HBV strategies mainly target covalently closed circular DNA （cccDNA）， among other mechanisms， and multiple novel drugs are currently under clinical investigation. Traditional medicine has been shown to exert anti-HBV effects through direct pathways， such as blocking viral entry， as well as indirect pathways， including the regulation of programmed cell death. Studies have confirmed that the integration of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and Western medicine in treating HBV infection and its related complications offers complementary advantages， particularly in enhancing HBV clearance rates， improving liver function， preventing various complications， and delaying the progression from hepatic fibrosis to hepatocellular carcinoma. This review focuses on advances in anti-HBV research involving TCM， Western medicine， and their integrated application， aiming to provide a basis for integrated HBV therapy and new drug development.

Sleep is an instinctive behavior alternating awakening state, sleep entails many active processes occurring at the cellular, circuit and organismal levels. The function of sleep is to restore cellular energy, enhance immunity, promote growth and development, consolidate learning and memory to ensure normal life activities. However, with the increasing of social pressure involved in work and life, the incidence of sleep disorders (SD) is increasing year by year. In the short term, sleep disorders lead to impaired memory and attention; in the longer term, it produces neurological dysfunction or even death. There are many ways to directly or indirectly contribute to sleep disorder and keep the hormones, including pharmacological alternative treatments, light therapy and stimulus control therapy. Exercise is also an effective and healthy therapeutic strategy for improving sleep. The intensities, time periods, and different types of exercise have different health benefits for sleep, which can be found through indicators such as sleep quality, sleep efficiency and total sleep time. So it is more and more important to analyze the mechanism and find effective regulation targets during sleep disorder through exercise. Dopamine (DA) is an important neurotransmitter in the nervous system, which not only participates in action initiation, movement regulation and emotion regulation, but also plays a key role in the steady-state remodeling of sleep-awakening state transition. Appreciable evidence shows that sleep disorder on humans and rodents evokes anomalies in the dopaminergic signaling, which are also implicated in the development of psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia or substance abuse. Experiments have shown that DA in different neural pathways plays different regulatory roles in sleep behavior, we found that increasing evidence from rodent studies revealed a role for ventral tegmental area DA neurons in regulating sleep-wake patterns. DA signal transduction and neurotransmitter release patterns have complex interactions with behavioral regulation. In addition, experiments have shown that exercise causes changes in DA homeostasis in the brain, which may regulate sleep through different mechanisms, including cAMP response element binding protein signal transduction, changes in the circadian rhythm of biological clock genes, and interactions with endogenous substances such as adenosine, which affect neuronal structure and play a neuroprotective role. This review aims to introduce the regulatory effects of exercise on sleep disorder, especially the regulatory mechanism of DA in this process. The analysis of intracerebral DA signals also requires support from neurophysiological and chemical techniques. Our laboratory has established and developed an in vivo brain neurochemical analysis platform, which provides support for future research on the regulation of sleep-wake cycles by movement. We hope it can provide theoretical reference for the formulation of exercise prescription for clinical sleep disorder and give some advice to the combined intervention of drugs and exercise.

Objective:To investigate the correlations and regression models among adenoid-nasopharynx measurement indices (the linear ratio A/N, the two-dimensional area ratio 2D_A/N, and the three-dimensional volume ratio 3D_A/N), to evaluate the feasibility of predicting three-dimensional parameters from two-dimensional measurements.Methods:This cross-sectional study analysed 4 307 CBCT scans and lateral nasopharyngeal radiographs from 4-12-year-old children (July 2023-January 2025). Children with acute infection, major systemic disease, craniofacial anomalies, prior maxillofacial surgery, poor-quality images, or no consent were excluded. 3D_A/N was defined as adenoid volume/(adenoid+airway volume); 2D_A/N as adenoid area/total area; and linear A/N as adenoid thickness/nasopharyngeal thickness. Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression were used to quantify 2D-to-3D agreement, and independent-sample t-tests were employed to compare age, sex and seasonal subgroups. Results:(1) Significant sex-related differences in adenoid hypertrophy were detected at ages 5, 8, 9 and 11 years. In the 5-year-old group, females had significantly higher 3D_A/N and 2D_A/N values than males (3D_A/N: 0.76±0.10 vs. 0.74±0.10, t=-1.99, P=0.047; 2D_A/N: 0.66±0.10 vs. 0.64±0.09, t=-2.71, P=0.007). In the 8-year-old group, males exhibited significantly higher A/N and 3D_A/N values than females (A/N: 0.64±0.06 vs. 0.63±0.06, t=4.49, P<0.001; 3D_A/N: 0.66±0.12 vs. 0.64±0.12, t=2.00, P=0.046). In the 9-year-old group, males showed significantly higher 3D_A/N values than females (0.65±0.11 vs. 0.63±0.12, t=2.46, P=0.014). In the 11-year-old group, males had significantly higher A/N values than females (0.62±0.06 vs. 0.59±0.05, t=4.79, P<0.001). (2) The linear A/N ratio correlated moderately with 3D_A/N ( r=0.82), whereas, 2D_A/N showed an excellent correlation ( r=0.97); multiple regression confirmed 2D_A/N as the principal predictor of 3D_A/N. (3) Seasonal analysis revealed markedly greater adenoid hypertrophy in winter than in summer for children aged 4-9 years, while, no seasonal difference was found in the 10-12 year group; overall, winter hypertrophy was most pronounced in younger children. Conclusion:2D_A/N demonstrates a marked advantage in predicting 3D_A/N. When combined with A/N and age factors, it can effectively model changes in the 3D volume ratio of the adenoid, underscoring the clinical value of lateral cephalometric measurements for evaluating adenoid hypertrophy in children. Moreover, adenoid hypertrophy is influenced by age, sex and seasonal factors.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for lumbar disc herniation (LDH), providing reference and basis for reducing the occurrence of kinesiophobia in this patient population.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted from May 2023 to January 2024. A convenience sample of chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH in Guangdong Second Provincial General Hospital was selected as the study population. Data were collected by the general information questionnaire, Numerical Rating Scale, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11, Psychological Inflexibility in Pain Scale, and Chronic Pain Self-efficacy Scale. A random forest model was constructed to rank variable importance, and binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of kinesiophobia.Results:The effective response rate of the questionnaire was 96.8% (270/279). Among 270 patients, there were 139 males and 131 females, 92 patients aged 18-40 years, 132 patients aged 41-60 years, and 46 patients aged >60 years old. The total kinesiophobia score for chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH was (31.00 ± 5.09) points, with a kinesiophobia prevalence of 79.6% (215/270). The random forest algorithm identified eight influencing factors: pain self-efficacy, psychological flexibility, physical exercise after low back pain onset, duration of pain, pain status, understanding of LDH, marital status, and pain intensity. Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that physical exercise after low back pain onset ( OR=0.583, 95% CI 0.344-0.986), pain status ( OR=0.424, 95% CI 0.206-0.873), psychological flexibility ( OR=1.102, 95% CI 1.052-1.155), pain self-efficacy ( OR=0.923, 95% CI 0.895-0.953) were significant influencing factors of kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The prevalence of kinesiophobia is high among chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH. Physical exercise after low back pain onset, pain status, psychological flexibility, and pain self-efficacy are significant influencing factors. Healthcare professionals should pay increased attention to kinesiophobia in chronic pain patients undergoing conservative treatment for LDH and implement targeted early interventions to reduce its occurrence.

In-depth study of the components of polymyxins is the key to controlling the quality of this class of antibiotics.Similarities and variations of components present significant analytical challenges.A two-dimensional(2D)liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS)method was established for screening and comprehensive profiling of compositions of the antibiotic colistimethate sodium(CMS).A high concentration of phosphate buffer mobile phase was used in the first-dimensional LC system to get the components well separated.For efficient and high-accuracy screening of CMS,a targeted method based on a self-constructed high resolution(HR)mass spectrum database of CMS components was established.The database was built based on the commercial MassHunter Personal Compound Database and Library(PCDL)software and its accuracy of the compound matching result was verified with six known components before being applied to genuine sample screening.On this basis,the unknown peaks in the CMS chromatograms were deduced and assigned.The molecular formula,group composition,and origins of a total of 99 compounds,of which the combined area percentage accounted for more than 95％of CMS components,were deduced by this 2D-LC-MS method combined with the MassHunter PCDL.This profiling method was highly efficient and could distinguish hundreds of components within 3 h,providing reliable results for quality control of this kind of complex drugs.
