OBJECTIVE To investigate the improvement effects and mechanism of Zhichi suanzaoren decoction （ZSD） on hippocampal oxidative stress injury in hippocampal neurons of mice with perimenopausal insomnia. METHODS The potential targets of active ingredients in ZSD were predicted using TCMSP and TCMIP databases； the targets related to insomnia were searched through GeneCards， OMIM and DisGeNET databases； protein-protein interaction network of intersecting targets of ZSD ingredients and insomnia was constructed； Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway enrichment analyses were conducted on key targets. Sixty mice were divided into sham operation group， model group， ZSD low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （11， 22， and 33 g/kg）， and eszopiclone group （positive control， 1 mg/kg）. Except for sham operation group， the perimenopausal insomnia model was constructed by ovariectomy （OVX） in the other groups. After successful modeling， mice in each group were gavaged with normal saline or the corresponding drug solution， once a day， for three consecutive weeks. The sleep status of mice was evaluated through the pentobarbital sodium sleep synergy experiment， and the pathological changes of hippocampal neurons and the expressions of related genes and proteins in mice were observed by HE staining， immunohistochemistry staining， immunofluorescence staining， transcriptome sequencing technology and Western blot. RESULTS The results of network pharmacology showed that there were 296 intersection targets between ZSD and perimenopausal insomnia. Protein kinase B1 （Akt1） was a key target for treating insomnia with ZSD. After administration of ZSD， the sleep latency of mice was shortened， the sleep duration was prolonged significantly， and the mean optical density value of neuron-specific nuclear protein in the hippocampal CA1 region was significantly increased （P＜0.01）. Additionally， hippocampal neuron damage in OVX mice was significantly alleviated. The results of transcriptome sequencing showed that ZSD significantly upregulated the transcriptional levels of Nfe2l2 gene in hippocampal tissue of OVX mice （P＜0.05）. After administration of ZSD， protein expressions of nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 （Nrf2） and heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） in hippocampal tissue of OVX mice， as well as the phosphorylated Akt level， were increased significantly （P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ZSD can ameliorate hippocampal oxidative stress injury of hippocampal neurons in perimenopausal insomnia mice by activating the Akt/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective:The clinicopathological features of pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (PEHE) were analyzed to provide guidance for clinical practice.Methods:The clinical manifestations, imaging examination, pathological morphology and molecular characteristics, treatment and prognosis of patients with pulmonary epithelioid hemangioendothelioma were retrospectively collected. All cases were admitted to Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from January 2012 to May 2023.Results:Of 7 PEHE cases, 2 underwent tumor biopsy and 5 underwent tumor resection. There were 4 males and 3 females, with a median age of 58 years old. Six cases showed multiple bilateral nodules, and only one case showed a single lesion in the lower left lung lobe. Five patients presented with respiratory symptoms, like cough, sputum, hemoptysis, shortness of breath. There were round-like solid lesions with clear border and homogeneous density on lung CT. Histologically, it showed nodular growth with a distinctive myxohyaline stroma. Necrosis was seen in the center of some cases. Epithelioid tumor cells were arranged in cords, solid pattern or single cells, with abundant eosinophilic cytoplasm and occasional intracytoplasmic vacuoles. The plasmacytoid nucleus were round to oval in shape with obvious nucleoli, minimal pleomorphism and few mitoses. The tumor cells were positive for vascular endothelial markers: CD31 (7/7), CD34 (5/7), ERG (6/6), and Fli-1 (5/6); CKpan was focally positive in 3 cases (3/7), and TFE3 in 2 cases. Ki-67 index ranged from 5% to 10%. Additionally, the tumor cells partially express PD-L1 in two cases. Moreover, lung carcinoma-related gene detection was negative in one case. The TFE3 break-apart probe in two cases did not display a split signal. In terms of treatment, 4 cases were treated with surgery, 1 case was treated with chemotherapy and surgery, and 2 cases were follow-up observation. After the median 34.4 months follow-up time, one was lost to follow-up, six were survived. Their CT scans showed slight enlargement of pulmonary nodules without other organ metastases.Conclusions:PEHE is a rare vascular-derived tumor, which is usually characterized by multiple solid bilateral nodules with slow growth. It tends to lack specific clinical symptoms, and is prone to be misdiagnosed as a metastatic carcinoma. Diagnosis primarily rely on pathology, with the use of an immunohistochemical package being crucial for definitive and differential diagnosis.

Objective:To identify the prognostic value of the Revised 15-item Myelodysplastic Syndrome-specific frailty scale (FS-15) in Chinese patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) .Methods:This retrospective study analyzed 812 patients with newly diagnosed MDS admitted to the Institute of Hematology and Blood Diseases Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and Peking Union Medical College from August 2016 to June 2023. Patients were assessed using the FS-15 and subsequently categorized into frail and non-frail groups. Clinical and laboratory characteristics, as well as overall survival (OS), were compared between these groups.Results:① The median patient age was 55 years ( IQR 45–64), with a median follow-up of 22.5 months (95% CI: 20.2–24.9) and a median OS of 43.3 months (95% CI: 36.8–49.8). The median FS-15 score was 0.42, with a cutoff value of 0.44. Male patients demonstrated higher median FS-15 scores than female patients (0.42 vs 0.38, P=0.006). In both the Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R; P=0.001) and Molecular International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-M; P=0.014) stratifications, FS-15 scores were significantly higher in the very high-risk group compared with the very low-risk group. ② The median OS was 54.7 months (95% CI: 47.5–NA) and 31.5 months (95% CI: 22.9–41.0) in the nonfrail ( n=452) and frail groups ( n=360), respectively ( P<0.001). The 3-year OS rates were (63.2 ± 3.2) % and (46.4 ± 3.6) % for the non-frail and frail groups, with 5-year OS rates of (49.9 ± 4.7) % and (32.0 ± 4.3) %, respectively ( P<0.001). ③Subgroup analysis revealed that nonfrail patients demonstrated significantly higher 3-year OS rates than frail patients in both the IPSS-M low-risk and very high-risk groups (all P<0.05). Similarly, nonfrail patients demonstrated superior 3-year OS rates compared with frail patients in the IPSS-R very low-risk, low-risk, and high-risk groups (all P<0.05). ④Among patients receiving hypomethylating agent therapy, the overall response rate was significantly higher in the non-frail group than in the frail group (86.7% vs 64.6%, P=0.007). Moreover, the frail group experienced higher rates of treatment-related adverse events, including febrile neutropenia (67.1% vs 47.4%, P=0.016) and liver function abnormalities (30.0% vs 14.5%, P=0.023), compared with the non-frail group. Conclusion:The FS-15 frailty score is a feasible and effective tool for assessing frailty in patients newly diagnosed with MDS in China and serves as a valuable prognostic indicator.

Objective To explore the effect of different packing contents of solid phase extraction column, repeated use times and solid phase extraction column under pressure on the determination of morphine content in compound liquorice oral solution. Methods The component was performed by high performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） equipped with the C₈ （4.6 mm × 150 mm, 5 μm） chromatographic column. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-2.5 mmol/L sodium heptanesulfonate solution-50 mmol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution （5∶18∶18）. The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min with the 220 nm detection wavelength, 20 μl injection volume and 30℃ column temperature. Results It was found that the SPE column produced of 500 mg had a higher recovery rate of morphine, and the RSD value was small. It was found that SPE column could be reused for up to 3 times under the condition of guaranteeing recovery rate.In the pressurized experiment,at the flow rate of 0.5 ml/min, the measured morphine content was basically consistent with that measured at atmospheric pressure. Conclusion The determination of morphine in compound liquorice oral solution could be carried out by C₁₈ solid phase extraction column of 500 mg. Under pressure, the flow rate was about 0.5 ml/min for morphine recovery, which could achieve high recovery of morphine in compound liquorice oral solution and improve the detection efficiency of morphine.

Objective To explore the potential categories of psychosocial adaptation in psoriasis patients and their differences in social alienation.Methods Using a cross-sectional survey design,convenience sam-pling was used to select 376 psoriasis patients from multiple hospitals in Shandong Province from September to December 2022.Participants completed the general information questionnaire,Psychosocial Adaptation to Illness Scale(PAIS-SR),Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-Ⅱ(AAQ-2),and General Alienation Scale(GAS).Latent profile analysis was performed using Mplus8.0 software to identify psychosocial adaptation patterns of psoriasis patients,and SPSS25.0 was used to compare social alienation differences among different adaptation groups.Results Psoriasis patients could be divided into two latent profiles:moderate psychosocial adaptation group(31.38％)and low psychosocial adaptation group(68.62％).Medical payment method,dis-ease recurrence,psoriasis subtype,disease duration,family history,skin lesion exposure,and AAQ-2 scores were identified as main influencing factors(P＜0.05).Significant differences in total GAS scores were found between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The psychosocial adaptation of psoriasis patients shows het-erogeneity and could be classified into two latent profiles.Targeted interventions should be implemented to improve psychosocial adaptation levels.

Objective:To establish a set of artificial intelligence (AI) verification rules for blood routine analysis.Methods:Blood routine analysis data of 18 474 hospitalized patients from the First Hospital of Jilin University during August 1st to 31st, 2019, were collected as training group for establishment of the AI verification rules,and the corresponding patient age, microscopic examination results, and clinical diagnosis information were collected. 92 laboratory parameters, including blood analysis report parameters, research parameters and alarm information, were used as candidate conditions for AI audit rules; manual verification combining microscopy was considered as standard, marked whether it was passed or blocked. Using decision tree algorithm, AI audit rules are initially established through high-intensity, multi-round and five-fold cross-validation and AI verification rules were optimized by setting important mandatory cases. The performance of AI verification rules was evaluated by comparing the false negative rate, precision rate, recall rate, F1 score, and pass rate with that of the current autoverification rules using Chi-square test. Another cohort of blood routine analysis data of 12 475 hospitalized patients in the First Hospital of Jilin University during November 1sr to 31st, 2023, were collected as validation group for validation of AI verification rules, which underwent simulated verification via the preliminary AI rules, thus performance of AI rules were analyzed by the above indicators. Results:AI verification rules consist of 15 rules and 17 parameters and do distinguish numeric and morphological abnormalities. Compared with auto-verification rules, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score of AI rules in training group were 22.7%, 1.6%, 74.5%, 1.3%, 75.7%, 97.2%, 93.5%, 94.7%, 94.1, respectively.All of them were better than auto-verification rules, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001), and with no important case missed. In validation group, the true positive rate, the false positive rate, the true negative rate, the false negative rate, the pass rate, the accuracy, the precision rate, the recall rate and F1 score were 19.2%, 8.2%, 70.1%, 2.5%, 72.6%, 89.2%, 70.0%, 88.3%, 78.1, respectively, Compared with the auto-verification rules, The false negative rate was lower, the false positive rate and the recall rate were slightly higher, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Conclusion:A set of the AI verification rules are established and verified by using decision tree algorithm of machine learning, which can identify, intercept and prompt abnormal results stably, and is moresimple, highly efficient and more accurate in the report of blood analysis test results compared with auto-vefication.
