Erchentang is a classic formula widely used by medical practitioners throughout history. In this paper,ancient and modern literature of Erchentang were collected, and bibliometrics was employed to analyze its historic evolution,prescription meaning,herbs origin, processing method,preparation methods, and clinical application. A total of 84 pieces of data were collected, and 58 pieces of data involving 53 ancient medical Chinese books were screened, sorted, and processed. Combined with research of modern scholars,the research has found that the Erchentang originated from the Taiping Huimin Huiye Shijie Fang compiled by the Imperial Medical Bureau of the Song Dynasty. The basic information about the origin of the drugs is quite clear. Pinelliae rhizoma in the formula is the dried tuber of Pinellia ternata. Citri exocarpium rubrum is the dried mature peel of Citrus reticulata and its cultivated varieties, with the inner white membrane removed. Poria is the whitest dry sclerotia of Poria cocos; Glycyrrhizae radix et rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of the Glycyrrhiza uralensis. The dosage is 5.70 g Pinelliae rhizome and Citri exocarpium rubrum, 3.43 g Poria, and 1.69 g Glycyrrhizae radix et rhizoma praeparata cum melle. During the decoction process, the above-mentioned herbs should be chopped, with 300 mL water, 7 g ginger in thick slices, and 2 g Mume fructus added, and it was then simmered together to 180 mL. After removing the medicinal residue, it can be taken warmly. Erchentang has the effect of drying dampness and resolving phlegm, regulating Qi and harmonizing the middle. It can be used in treating the syndrome of phlegm and dampness,as well as symptoms such as frequent cough,white phlegm,fullness in chest and diaphragm,nausea and vomiting,limb drowsiness,anorexia,dizziness,palpitations,white and greasy tongue coating, and slippery pulse. The above results provide reference for future research and development of Erchentang.

Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) remain limited in current clinical practice, urgently requiring new assistive technologies to advance diagnosis and treatment. As a crucial medium for intercellular communication, exosomes show broad potential in the treatment and diagnosis of NOA. This review summarizes research progress on exosomes from multiple sources. Firstly, mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (e.g., from bone marrow, urine, umbilical cord, adipose tissue) promote spermatogenesis recovery by enhancing spermatogenic cell proliferation, regulating relevant gene expression, supplying growth factors, and providing antioxidant stress protection. Secondly, cell-derived exosomes exert effects by modulating the spermatogonial stem cell microenvironment (e.g., upregulating GFRα1 expression) and directly communicating with germ cells. Thirdly, amniotic fluid-derived exosomes increase spermatogenic cell numbers and upregulate expression of spermatogenesis-related genes such as DAZL and VASA. Furthermore, molecules carried by exosomes—such as miRNAs (e.g., miR-31-5p, miR-26a-5p) and transfer RNA-derived fragments—hold potential diagnostic value in distinguishing non-obstructive from obstructive azoospermia and predicting micro-TESE success rates. This paper aims to provide theoretical basis and research directions for the clinical application of exosomes in NOA.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors of blood transfusion volume in obstetric patients based on the national health development strategy, and to provide evidence for clinical transfusion management and maternal and infant safety. Methods: A total of 1 203 obstetric patients who received blood transfusion in a tertiary hospital in Beijing from 2013 to 2023 were enrolled retrospectively. Seventeen indicators including age, body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin and prothrombin time were selected as research variables. Descriptive analysis was conducted firstly. Scatter plot matrix was used to analyze the correlation between continuous variables and transfusion volume, and box plots were used to analyze the relationship between categorical variables and transfusion volume. Linear regression, logistic regression and random forest models were established for empirical analysis, and ROC curves and AUC values were compared to evaluate model performance. Results: Descriptive analysis showed that the distribution of obstetric blood transfusion volume was right-skewed, and multiple indicators were significantly correlated with transfusion volume. Linear regression indicated that 9 variables such as age, BMI and hemoglobin had linear correlation with transfusion volume. Logistic regression confirmed that 7 variables including BMI and hemoglobin were statistically correlated with the probability of massive blood transfusion. Random forest model screened the core influencing factors, which were ranked by importance: hemoglobin, prothrombin time, hematocrit, BMI, activated partial thromboplastin time, platelet count and age. The AUC values of logistic regression and random forest were 0.78 and 0.81 respectively, and the latter had better predictive performance. Conclusion: Prenatal anemia, coagulation disorders, advanced age, obesity, gestational hypertension, placental abnormalities and organ damage can increase the risk of massive blood transfusion in obstetric patients. The random forest model has better analytical and predictive ability in this study. The results can provide reference for accurate blood transfusion and risk prediction in obstetrics.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics and key risk factors of abnormal blood disposal throughout the 2024-2025 blood collection and supply process based on nationwide multi-site monitoring data, develop a comprehensive prevention and control strategy across the entire chain, reduce preventable blood waste, and ensure clinical blood safety. Methods: According to the Guidelines for Haemovigilance (T/CSBT 001-2026), we extracted 74 cases of abnormal blood disposal events reported by the China Blood Transfusion Association′s Blood Safety Monitoring System from January 1 2024, to December 31 2025, and conducted descriptive statistical analysis on the distribution of events, types of deviations, root causes, and classifications of disposal manifestations. Results: A total of 664 adverse events related to blood collection and supply were reported over two years, with 74 cases involving discarded abnormal blood units, accounting for 11.1% of the total. Among these, blood component preparation (40.5%) and blood collection (37.8%) remained traditional high-risk stages. The proportion of blood waste occurring during storage, distribution, and transportation increased from 7.7% in 2024 to 34.3% in 2025. Deviations from standard operating procedures (SOP) by personnel were the primary cause, accounting for 74.3% of cases. Discarded blood units were categorized into four types: compromised closed blood bag systems (40 cases), mainly due to inadequate heat sealing, physical damage, or dropped bags; blood out of the cold chain (12 cases), primarily resulting from blood being left at work sites; imbalanced proportion of preservation solution (10 cases), mostly caused by blood collection volumes exceeding the standard capacity of blood bags; and other causes (12 cases). Conclusion: Human operational errors are the core cause of abnormal blood waste. The collection and preparation stages have long been at high-risk, and the risks in the storage and transportation stages have been increasing year by year. We should focus on standardizing personnel management, improving specialized operation norms such as heat sealing, transportation, and storage, establishing a full-process intelligent cold chain monitoring and multi-node visual verification mechanism, and systematically reducing the occurrence rate of abnormal blood waste through a closed-loop quality intervention system, thereby improving the utilization efficiency of voluntary blood donation resources.

Objective On the basis of the theory of the tumor metastatic state, this work aims to explore the metastasis trajectories and peripheral immune response patterns in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving vital qi-strengthening and toxin-eliminating therapy (Fuzheng Juandu) and reveal the value of peripheral immunity in assessing vital qi deficiency during metastasis. Methods A retrospective study design was adopted. Patients with NSCLC admitted from January 1, 2018, to October 31, 2025 were enrolled. Data on metastasis status and peripheral immune indices were collected at the follow-up time points of one, two, three, and five years. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to fit metastasis trajectories, and the independent predictors of trajectory grouping were analyzed through multifactor and multiclassification logistic regression. Results A total of 184 patients with NSCLC were included, and three different groups of metastasis trajectories were identified, namely, the low-risk stable (46.74%, n=86), low-risk rising (13.59%, n=25), and high-risk stable (39.67%, n=73) groups. Univariate analysis revealed substantial differences in peripheral immune indices among the three trajectory groups. Multivariate analysis showed that TNM stage, absolute neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, absolute monocyte count, platelet volume, SAA:CRP ratio, and NLR were independent predictors of the low-risk rising group, whereas TNM stage, absolute monocyte count, basophil count, SII, and NLR were independent predictors of the high-risk stable group. Conclusion Under Fuzheng Juandu therapy, patients with NSCLC exhibit three distinct metastasis trajectories, each

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of preoperative dual-layer spectral detector CT (DLCT) parameters in predicting lymph node metastasis (LNM) of non-functional pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (NF-pNENs). MethodsA retrospective study was conducted on patients with pathologically confirmed NF-pNENs who underwent preoperative contrast-enhanced DLCT examination between September 2019 and July 2024. Regions of interest (ROIs) were manually delineated on three representative slices of the solid component of the lesion, and the mean values were recorded. Conventional CT parameters, monochromatic energy images (40 keV, 70 keV, 100 keV), iodine concentration maps, and effective atomic number (Zeff) maps in the pancreatic parenchymal phase and portal venous phase were acquired. A total of 34 parameters, including clinical characteristics, imaging features, conventional CT and DLCT quantitative parameters, were analyzed. Intergroup differences were compared between the LNM and non-LNM groups. Independent predictive factors were screened using logistic regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were generated for each predictive model, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to evaluate the predictive efficacy. ResultsA total of 82 patients with NF-pNENs were enrolled, including 37 males and 45 females, with a mean age of 49.7±14.7 years. Thirty patients were performed with LNM and 52 were with non-LNM. After univariate logistic regression, LASSO regression and multivariate stepwise logistic regression analyses, body mass index (BMI), organ invasion, normalized CT value in the portal venous phase (nCTv) and normalized iodine concentration in the portal venous phase (nICv) were identified as independent predictive factors. The AUCs of the clinical-radiological qualitative model (BMI+organ invasion), conventional CT model (nCTv), DLCT model (nICv) and comprehensive model (organ invasion+nICv) were 0.815 (0.719, 0.910), 0.750 (0.642, 0.858), 0.829 (0.733, 0.925) and 0.865 (0.879, 0.953), respectively. The comprehensive model combining clinical-radiological and DLCT characteristics exhibited superior predictive performance. ConclusionDLCT parameters are more effective than conventional CT parameters in predicting LNM in NF-pNENs, enabling non-invasive preoperative prediction and assisting clinical decision-making.
