ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of salt processing of Psoraleae Fructus （PF） through modern analytical techniques and biotechnology， focusing on its effects related to hepatotoxicity and anti-osteoporosis activity. MethodsThe zebrafish model was utilized to evaluate the impact of PF and salt-processed Psoraleae Fructus （SPF） on the hepatotoxicity （using 134.17 ， 178.89， 268.34 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of PF， 135.04， 180.06， 270.08 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of SPF， respectively） and anti-osteoporotic activity （using 33.54 ， 67.08 and 134.17 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of PF， 33.76， 67.52， 135.04 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of SPF， respectively）， which was using alizarin red skull staining of zebrafish as an indicator of different batches of PF. The specific dosage of a batch of PF was taken as an example. Then ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS） analysis was employed to identify the chemical composition of PF before and after salt processing， and PCA， OPLS-DA， and independent sample t-test were used to elucidating the compositional changes associated with the effects of salt processing on hepatotoxicity and anti-osteoporosis activity. ResultsUnder specific conditions， PF induced notable hepatotoxicity in zebrafish while simultaneously demonstrating protective effect against prednisolone-induced osteoporosis. In comparison to PF， SPF showed alleviated hepatotoxicity while retaining significant anti-osteoporosis activity. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis revealed that after salt processing， the overall chemical composition of PF showed a downward trend， with 69 components showing a decrease in content， represented by psoralen， and 13 components showing an increase， represented by 4′-O-methyl psoralen B. Further multivariate statistical analysis revealed 11 key differential components before and after salt processing of PF， including psoralen and bakuchiol. ConclusionSalt processing effectively diminishes hepatotoxicity without impairing therapeutic efficacy against osteoporosis of PF， which may be related to the compositional changes before and after salt processing of PF and provides key evidence to reveal the scientific significance of salt processing of PF.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the application effect of morphology driven preparation technique in indirect restoration of posterior teeth. Methods84 patients with dental defects were selected and divided into the control group and the experimental group randomly， with 42 patients in each group （a total of 84 teeth）. Traditional preparation and morphology driven preparation techniques were used to complete dental preparation and adhesive glass ceramic restorations， respectively. The satisfaction， masticatory function， World Dental Federation （FDI） Scores for edge fracture and fixation，edge adaptability index，periodontal bleeding index （BI） and plaque index （PLI） of the two groups of patients were evaluated and various indicator data were recorded and statistically analyzed at 3 and 6 months after restoration completion. ResultsThere was no statistically significant difference in satisfaction between the two groups after 3 and 6 months of repair； Both groups of data showed a significant improvement in masticatory function. There was no statistical difference after 3 and 6 months of repair. However， a statistically significant difference in masticatory function was noted after 6 months of repair compared with before and after 3 months of repair. As the repair time increased， the masticatory effect improved significantly. There was no statistically significant difference in the edge fracture and fixation index between the two groups at 3 months after repair， but there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups at 6 months with the experimental group outperforming the control group（P<0.05）. The edge adaptability， BI， and PLI index were statistically significant between the two groups after 3 and 6 months of repair and the experimental group had a significant advantage （P<0.05）. ConclusionBoth types of tooth preparation techniques can improve patient masticatory function and reach high satisfaction after repair. However， morphology driven preparation technique has significant advantages in edge adaptability， edge fracture and fixation index scores and improve periodontal conditions. This technique is an effective method for improving dental preparation in adhesive indirect restoration of posterior teeth.

Objective:To explore the effects three of anesthetics(tribromoethanol,isoflurane,and pentobarbital so-dium)on the outcome of mice with post-stroke dysphagia(PSD)induced by photothrombosis(PT)method,and to e-valuate which anesthetic is more suitable for the preparation of this model.Methods:Sixty-six male C57BL/6J mice were divided into Tribromoethanol group,Isoflurane group,Pentobarbital sodium group and Sham group.The post-stroke dysphagia model was established by PT.Before and 5 min after modeling,a laser speckle imager was used to measure the regional cerebral blood flow(rCBF)decrease rate of mice and record the wake-up time of mice.Forty-eight hours after modeling,the mortality rate of PSD mice in three groups was recorded and the rCBF decrease rate was meas-ured again.The neurological function of mice was evaluated using the neurological deficit score,the water intake of mice was recorded using the 4-min drinking test,the infarct volume ratio was measured using the TTC staining method,and the swallowing counts induced by water administration was recorded using the multichannel physiological recorder MP160 and the myoelectric area of the swallowing muscle was calculated.Results:There was no statistical difference in the percentage of decrease in rCBF,infarct volume ratio,neurological deficit score,water intake,swallowing counts,and myoelectric area of swallowing muscle among the three groups of PSD mice 48 h after modeling(P＞0.05).Com-pared with the Tribromoethanol group and the Pentobarbital sodium group,the rCBF of the mice in the Isoflurane group decreased rapidly within 5 min(P＜0.05),and the mortality rate of the mice was lower and the awakening time was shorter.(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The use of different anesthesia will affect the mortality rate,wake-up time and the downward trend of rCBF within 48 h after modeling of PSD mice.Among the three anesthetics,isoflurane is more suit-able as an anesthetic for the PSD mouse model.

Objective To analyze the distribution characteristics and influencing factors of ultra-long hospitalization in malignant tumor patients and to explore strategies to reduce the average length of stay and enhance the efficiency of medical re-source utilization.Methods Ultra-long hospitalization was defined as the 99th percentile of hospital stay duration(P99=31 days).Data from patients discharged with malignant tumors in a specialized cancer hospital in 2024 were collected.The distribu-tion characteristics and influencing factors were analyzed using chi-square tests and logistic stepwise regression.Results Among the 36 097 patients with malignant tumors,the average length of stay was 4.95 days,with 375 cases classified as ultra-long hospi-talizations,accounting for 1.04％.These patients were predominantly over 55 years old,with a higher proportion of males.Pa-tients with stage Ⅲ malignant tumors,primary tumors classified as T2～T3,and primary sites in the esophagus,pancreas,and maxillofacial regions had a higher incidence of ultra-long hospitalizations.Significant factors influencing ultra-long hospitalization included treatment modality,complications(OR=20.319),number of discharge diagnoses(OR=6.915),ICU transfers(OR=4.714),unplanned reoperations(OR=4.416),tumor type,extent,and stage.Conclusion Medical institutions are advised to address the influencing factors of ultra-long hospitalizations by optimizing diagnostic and treatment processes,enhan-cing quality control systems,establishing early warning mechanisms,and strengthening information systems.These measures aim to improve the standardization of malignant tumor diagnosis and treatment,ensuring patient safety.
