OBJECTIVE To study the quality standard of the ethnic medicine Diplazium lanceum, and to provide reference for its quality control.METHODS The medicinal material of D. lanceum was identified by properties, microscopy, and thin-layer chromatography(TLC), and its moisture, ash, and extract contents were determined. The contents of chlorogenic acid and rutin in 10 batches of D. lanceum were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography . RESULTS The rhizome of D. lanceum is slender and creeping, the leaf is leathery and shriveled, and yellow sporangia are borne on the abaxial surface of the leaf. The transverse section of the leaf shows inclusions, sclerenchyma, phloem cells, etc.; the transverse section of the petiole shows ground tissue, sclerenchyma, endodermis, etc.; the transverse section of the rhizome shows ground tissue, tracheids, vascular bundles, etc.; and the powder shows spiral vessels and brown inclusions. The TLC identification results showed that the chromatogram of the test sample exhibited spots of the same color at the corresponding positions as the chromatogram of the chlorogenic acid reference substance. The content ranges of moisture, total ash, acid-insoluble ash, extract, chlorogenic acid, and rutin in the 10 batches of samples were 10.18%-12.43%, 7.08%-19.12%, 0.95%-10.62%, 14.13%-26.05%, 0.113 1-1.015 9 mg/g, and 0.009 9-0.208 9 mg/g, respectively. CONCLUSIONS In the quality standard of D. lanceum, the moisture content should be ≤12.5%, total ash content should be ≤20.0%, acid-insoluble ash content should be ≤11.0%, extract content should be ≥14.0%, and chlorogenic acid content should be ≥0.11 mg/g. The established method is simple, specific, and reproducible, and can provide a scientific basis for the quality control of D. lanceum.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease characterized by airflow limitation, and its high morbidity and disability rates pose a severe challenge to global public health. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated definite efficacy and distinctive characteristics in the treatment of COPD. Based on the understanding of ancient and modern physicians regarding the etiology, pathogenesis, and stage-based syndrome differentiation of COPD, this article systematically elaborates on the etiology, pathogenesis, and clinical principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment of COPD. COPD is characterized by deficiency at root and excess in manifestation, with the coexistence of deficiency and excess. Qi deficiency is the fundamental pathogenesis underlying the occurrence and development of COPD and runs throughout the entire disease course. The disease begins with deficiency of lung qi and gradually affects the spleen and kidney, leading to the internal generation of dampness, phlegm, and blood stasis. Phlegm and blood stasis are not only pathological products but also deep-rooted causes of recurrent disease. Together with qi deficiency, they are mutually causal and form a vicious cycle. During the acute exacerbation stage of COPD, phlegm and blood stasis constitute the predominant underlying pathology and are often induced by invasion of pathogenic factors due to deficiency of healthy Qi. In addition, innovative understandings of the etiology and pathogenesis of COPD have emerged from the perspectives of collateral disease, latent pathogens, smoke toxins, and dysfunction of the Shaoyang pivot. During the stable stage, deficiency of Qi in the lung, spleen, and kidney predominates and is often accompanied by phlegm and blood stasis. In the clinical differentiation and treatment of COPD, treatment should be based on different disease stages and syndrome characteristics. During the acute exacerbation stage, eliminating pathogenic factors is the primary principle, with treatment determined according to syndrome differentiation. For wind-cold attacking the lung, the treatment is to ventilate the lung, disperse cold, and relieve cough. For phlegm-dampness accumulating in the lung, the treatment is to dry dampness, resolve phlegm, and direct qi downward. For phlegm-heat obstructing the lung, the treatment is to clear the lung, resolve phlegm, and relieve asthma. For phlegm and blood stasis obstructing the lung, the treatment is to eliminate phlegm, remove blood stasis, and relieve asthma. During the stable stage, reinforcing healthy Qi is the key principle. For lung-spleen qi deficiency, the treatment is to tonify the lung and strengthen the spleen, resolve phlegm, and direct Qi downward to relieve asthma. For deficiency of both lung and kidney, the treatment is to tonify the lung and benefit the kidney, resolve phlegm, promote Qi reception, and relieve asthma. When accompanied by phlegm and blood stasis, the treatment should focus on tonifying deficiency, resolving phlegm, and removing blood stasis. This article aims to systematically summarize the TCM etiology, pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation and treatment principles of COPD, as well as the current shortcomings in related research, in order to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of COPD with TCM, give full play to the advantages of TCM in the prevention and treatment of COPD, and optimize the whole-course management of COPD.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence of co-occurrence of common diseases among junior high school students in Yunnan Province and to identify latent comorbidity patterns and analyze their associated factors, so as to provide evidence for the comprehensive prevention and control of common diseases among students.
Methods:
From September to November 2025, a stratified cluster sampling method was employed to survey 71 791 students in grades 7-9 recruited from 258 junior high schools in Yunnan Province. Information on six common diseases, including screening myopia, dental caries, overweight/obesity, malnutrition, elevated blood pressure, and abnormal spinal curvature, was collected through physical examinations and questionnaire surveys, along with data on demographic characteristics, physical activity, and sleep. Latent class analysis (LCA) was used to identify comorbidity patterns of common diseases, and multinomial Logistic regression was performed to analyze the factors associated with each pattern.
Results:
The detection rates of screening myopia, dental caries, overweight/obesity, elevated blood pressure, malnutrition, and abnormal spinal curvature among junior high school students were 65.2%, 62.1%, 22.4%, 10.9% , 8.2%, and 5.7%, respectively. LCA identified three latent comorbidity patterns of common diseases: a high prevalence screening myopia-dental caries-spinal curvature abnormality pattern (C1, 63.8%), an overweight/obesity elevated blood pressure pattern (C2, 24.1%), and a relatively low burden pattern (C3, 12.0%). With C3 as the reference, multinomial Logistic regression showed that girls were more likely than boys to be assigned to C1 and C2 [ OR (95% CI )=2.12(2.02-2.23), 1.31(1.23-1.38)]; non-Han students were less likely than Han students to belong to C1 and C2 [ OR (95% CI )=0.88(0.83-0.92), 0.81(0.77-0.86)]; students in grades 8 and 9 were more likely than those in grade 7 to belong to C1 and C2, with the highest likelihood observed among grade 9 students [ OR (95% CI )=1.43(1.35-1.52), 1.27(1.19-1.36)]; insufficient sleep was associated with increased odds of belonging to C1 and C2 [ OR (95% CI )=1.15(1.09-1.22), 1.25(1.18-1.33)] (all P <0.05). Compared with students who engaged in outdoor activities during breaks, those who stayed indoors, either inside the teaching building but outside the classroom or inside the classroom, were more likely to belong to C1 [ OR (95% CI )=1.09(1.02-1.16), 1.17(1.09-1.26)] and C2 [ OR (95% CI )=1.13(1.05-1.21), 1.25(1.15-1.35)]; students not living with their parents were less likely to belong to C1 and C2 [ OR (95% CI )=0.83(0.77-0.90), 0.74(0.68-0.81)] (all P <0.05).
Conclusions
The co-occurrence of common diseases is relatively prominent among junior high school students in Yunnan Province, with distinct latent stratification patterns. Tiered and precise comprehensive interventions should be implemented targeting key populations to promote the prevention and control of common diseases among students.

As the medical model shifts toward the “bio-psycho-social” paradigm, interprofessional collaboration has become a significant trend in the medical field. Medical social work, as a key role in interprofessional teams, still faces challenges related to localization, professionalization, and specialization in its practice within hospital settings. From the perspective of “translation,” which serves as a critical step in actor-network theory, this study explored the behavioral logic and interest interactions among actors in interprofessional collaboration, and analyzed and summarized effective service models of interprofessional collaboration to address service dilemmas, with a particular focus on the role of medical social workers. Based on the current status of peritoneal dialysis patient services at Hospital Z, this study selected various subjects of interprofessional collaboration as the research participants. A total of 19 network actors were interviewed using purposive random sampling and snowball sampling. Semi-structured interviews and non-participant observation were employed as research methods, with a particular focus on observing the operational process of interaction and translation mechanisms among interprofessional collaboration subjects. Thematic analysis was conducted, with coding performed using NVivo 14 software. From the translation perspective, the study analyzed the collaboration model of the interprofessional team in the treatment and rehabilitation process of peritoneal dialysis patients, highlighting the special role of medical social workers therein. The implementation of the collaborative model often encountered challenges related to professional boundaries, power boundaries, and institutional boundaries, which affected the translation process across the entire trajectory. Discussions were further conducted on dimensions such as optimizing the flow mechanisms of power and discourse, as well as forming supportive policies and formalized collaborative mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of eravacycline in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) and/or carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) pneumonia.METHODS Clinical data of patients with CRAB and/or CRKP pneumonia who were admitted to the ICU of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and received eravacycline treatment from July 2023 to November 2024 were collected. The 28-day all-cause mortality rate, clinical failure rate, 28-day ICU-free days among surviving patients, 28-day mechanical ventilation-free days among surviving patients, microbiological clearance, and adverse reactions were recorded.RESULTS A total of 37 patients were included. Among the 37 patients, 11 (29.73%) experienced clinical failure, and the 28-day all-cause mortality rate was 18.92% (7/37). The 28-day ICU-free days among surviving patients were (14.60±10.61) days, and the 28-day mechanical ventilation-free days among surviving patients were (24.55±4.29) days. Microbiological clearance was achieved in 12 patients (32.43%), and the mean time to conversion was (10.58±12.05) days. Adverse reactions occurred in 5 patients (13.51%), including 2 cases of elevated liver enzymes, 2 cases of coagulopathy, and 1 case of drug hypersensitivity syndrome.CONCLUSIONS Eravacycline can effectively control systemic bacterial infection and inflammatory response in ICU patients with pneumonia caused by CRAB and/or CRKP. However, patients with underlying liver disease or receiving multiple antibacterial agents should be alert to elevated liver enzymes, coagulation abnormalities, and the rare drug hypersensitivity syndrome.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of both mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS), serves as a primary immunosuppressant for maintaining solid organ transplants. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) enhances treatment outcomes through tailored approaches. This study aimed to develop an evidence-based guideline for MPA TDM, facilitating its rational application in clinical settings. The guideline plan was drawn from the Institute of Medicine and World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Using the Delphi method, clinical questions and outcome indicators were generated. Systematic reviews, Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) evidence quality evaluations, expert opinions, and patient values guided evidence-based suggestions for the guideline. External reviews further refined the recommendations. The guideline for the TDM of MPA (IPGRP-2020CN099) consists of four sections and 16 recommendations encompassing target populations, monitoring strategies, dosage regimens, and influencing factors. High-risk populations, timing of TDM, area under the curve (AUC) versus trough concentration (C0), target concentration ranges, monitoring frequency, and analytical methods are addressed. Formulation-specific recommendations, initial dosage regimens, populations with unique considerations, pharmacokinetic-informed dosing, body weight factors, pharmacogenetics, and drug-drug interactions are covered. The evidence-based guideline offers a comprehensive recommendation for solid organ transplant recipients undergoing MPA therapy, promoting standardization of MPA TDM, and enhancing treatment efficacy and safety.

Obesity usually exacerbates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (ITME), hindering CD8+ T cell infiltration and function, which further represents a significant barrier to the efficacy of immunotherapy. Herein, a multifunctional liposomal system (CR-Lip) for encapsulating celastrol (CEL) was utilized to remodel obesity-related ITME and improve cancer immunotherapy, wherein Ginsenoside Rg3 (Rg3) was detected interspersed in the phospholipid bilayer and its glycosyl exposed on the surface of the liposome. CR-Lip had a relatively uniform size (116.5 nm), facilitating favorable tumor tissue accumulation through the interaction between Rg3 and glucose transporter 1 overexpressed in obese tumor cells. Upon reaching the tumor region, CR-Lip was found to induce the immunogenic cell death (ICD) of HFD tumor cells. Notably, the level of PHD3 in HFD tumor cells was effectively boosted by CR-Lip to effectively block metabolic reprogramming and increase the availability of major free fatty acids fuel sources. In vivo, experiments studies revealed that the easy-obtained nano platform stimulated enhanced the production of various cytokines in tumor tissues, DC maturation, CD8+ T-cell infiltration, and synergistic anticancer therapeutic potency with aPD-1 (tumor inhibition rate = 82.1%) towards obesity-related melanoma. Consequently, this study presented an efficacious approach to tumor immunotherapy in obese mice by encompassing tumor eradication, inducing ICD, and reprogramming metabolism. Furthermore, it offered a unique insight into a valuable attempt at the immunotherapy of obesity-associated related tumors.

AIM: To provide references for the non-clinical evaluation of therapeutic targets or drugs for retinoblastoma, fluorescently labeled Y79 cells are injected into the vitreous body of BALB/c-nu mice to establish a retinoblastoma model, and the Melphalan treatment group is used as a positive control, which is verified by fluorescence imaging technology.METHODS: BALB/c-nu mice were intravitreous injected with GFP transfected Y79 cells(1.0×107 cell/mL, 3 μL)to establish the model. On the 27th day, the mice were randomly divided into model control group and different doses of Melphalan groups(1, 3, 10 μg/eye groups)according to the fluorescence value of in vivo imaging, with vitreous body single administrated and ocular symptoms observed daily. Slit-lamp examination was performed at 12, 20, 29, 35, 42, 48, 55, 76, and 83 d after modeling. In vivo imaging was performed on 12, 20, 27, 41, 48, 55, 62, 69, 76, and 83 d. At the last treatment, the eyeball, brain and cerebellum tissues were removed for histopathological examination.RESULTS: From the sixth day of modeling, cloud-like substances could be seen in the eyes of the animals, and the cloud-like substances occupied the whole eyeball of the mice in the model control group at the later stage, accompanied by irregular growth of blood vessels. After 27 days of modeling, the fluorescence value was detected in all the animals, and the fluorescence value continued to increase with the extension of modeling time. The fluorescence value of the tumor reached the peak after 69-83 days of modeling. Histological examination showed severe proliferation of intraocular tumor cells in the model control group, and tumor cells were observed in the brain of 1 model animal. In the 10 μg/eye Melphalan group, the fluorescence value was significantly decreased at 17 d after administration. The fluorescence value of the 3 μg/eye Melphalan group was significantly inhibited at 59 d after administration. No tumor cells were found in the brain tissue of animals in all Melphalan groups.CONCLUSION: After vitreous injection of Y79/pCDH-LUC-copGFP cells in BALB/c-nu mice, significant ocular lesions and proliferation of tumor cells were observed in the eyes. Meanwhile, Melphalan intervention significantly inhibited tumor cells in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that the mouse model of retinoblastoma was successfully constructed.
