Objective: To characterize perioperative dynamic changes in immune-cell phenotypes and inflammatory cytokines in patients undergoing CPB (cardiopulmonary bypass) cardiac surgery, and to explore their associations with postoperative outcomes. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, 120 adult patients who underwent elective cardiac surgery under CPB at West China Hospital from May 2022 to March 2023 were enrolled. Perioperative immune-cell phenotypes and concentrations of 40 inflammation-related cytokines were measured. The primary outcomes were the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score at 24 h after surgery and ΔSOFA (the peak SOFA score within 48 h after surgery minus the preoperative SOFA score). Secondary outcomes included major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), acute kidney injury (AKI), respiratory failure, severe liver injury, and infection. Results: The mean age of enrolled patients was 57±10 years. Of these, 52% (62/120) were male and 90% (108/120) underwent valve surgery. During the rewarming to the end of CPB, neutrophil counts rapidly increased (7.39×10 /L vs preoperative 3.07×10 /L, P<0.001), with significant upregulation of CD11b (7.30×10 /L vs preoperative 3.05×10 /L, P<0.001) and CD54 (7.15×10 /L vs preoperative 2.99×10 /L, P<0.001). Lymphocyte counts increased at the end of CPB (1.75×10 /L vs preoperative 1.12×10 /L, P<0.001) but decreased significantly at 24 h after surgery (0.59×10 /L vs preoperative 1.12×10 /L, P<0.001). Plasma analysis showed that multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines increased during CPB and remained elevated up to 24 h after surgery; five chemokines and the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 peaked at the end of CPB. The SOFA score increased from 1 (1, 2) preoperatively to 7 (5, 10) at 24 h after surgery, with a ΔSOFA of 6 (4, 8). Within 30 days after surgery, 48 patients (40.0%) developed AKI, 17 (14.2%) developed infection, 4 (3.3%) developed severe liver injury, 3 (2.5%) developed respiratory failure, and 3 (2.5%) experienced MACE. During the 2-year follow-up, 8 patients (6.7%) experienced MACE and 5 (4.2%) died. Conclusion: Multi-organ dysfunction is common after cardiac surgery under CPB (median ΔSOFA, 6), accompanied by perioperative activation of multiple immune-cell subsets and upregulation of pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, and chemotactic mediators. This study provides data-driven evidence and research clues for further investigation of the associations between CPB-related immune perturbations and postoperative organ dysfunction and clinical outcomes.

Objective: To identify the effective needs of college students for dietary nutrition health education content, so as to provide a scientific basis for optimizing the health education strategies in colleges. Methods: The literature analysis method, focus group interviews and Delphi expert consultation method were used to construct a survey questionnaire on dietary nutrition health education for college students. From January to March 2024, a total of 597 college students from six colleges in Shandong Province were selected through convenience sampling to complete the questionnaire independently by scanning the two dimensional code on questionnaire star. The Kano model was used to define the content demands of college students for dietary nutrition education, and the differences in demands were analyzed by calculating satisfied influence (SI) and dissatisfied influence (DSI). Results: The compiled questionnaire was divided into 7 dimensions and 25 items. The overall demand level analysis of college students included 3 essential attribute demands, namely, the recommended intake and various forms of dairy products (34.17%), the role of whole grains in health with their scientific intake forms and recommended amounts (31.99%), and the intake of beans (30.15%); 7 expected attribute demands included the introduction of recommended intensity of different activities (35.01%), how to achieve a healthy weight and the balance between diet and exercise (41.54%), the energy consumed by different exercises in a unit of time ( 38.36 %), the selection of healthy snacks (36.68%), the types of infectious diseases of the digestive system and how to prevent and control them (25.96%), the causes and judgments with manifestations of nutrition related diseases among college students ( 28.14 %), and the hotspots of attention on nutrition related diseases among college students (24.46%); 4 attractive attribute demands contained the introduction of the recommended activity levels for different periods such as daily and weekly (28.81%), the introduction of the importance of activities and the harm of prolonged sitting and ways to avoid it (28.64%), the nutritional value of animal foods and eating suggestions (23.45%), and the scientific intake suggestions for various processed animal foods (22.11%); the remaining were 11 attribute demands with no differences. In the quadrant diagram analysis, the demand items located in the maintenance zone, competitive advantage zone, improvement zone, and minor improvement zone were 5, 5, 8, and 7, respectively. Conclusions College students have different demands in dietary nutrition health education, and whether these demands are met affects their satisfaction in different ways. Among them, education on the intake of dairy products, whole grains, and beans has the greatest impact on satisfaction.

Diabetic retinopathy （DR） is a microvascular complication of diabetes and one of its most common complications. Prolonged hyperglycemia induces oxidative stress， inflammatory responses， apoptosis， and pathological angiogenesis， ultimately disrupting the blood-retinal barrier（BRB） and leading to visual impairment or even blindness. Recent studies show that the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of DR's pathological changes. Meanwhile， Chinese herbal monomers have been shown to modulate the Nrf2 signaling pathway， thereby intervening in the development of DR. In terms of inhibiting oxidative stress， saponin compounds such as platycodin-D and ginsenoside Rb1 downregulate the expression of malondialdehyde （MDA）， thereby ameliorating retinal oxidative stress. Flavonoids such as total flavonoids from Pueraria lobata flower and puerarin upregulate the expression of superoxide dismutase （SOD） and glutathione peroxidase （GPx）， effectively clearing lipid peroxides. Regarding the suppression of inflammation， phenolic compounds like resveratrol and chlorogenic acid inhibit the nuclear factor kappa B （NF-κB） pathway， reducing the release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha （TNF-α） and mitigating inflammatory responses. In the context of inhibiting apoptosis， polysaccharides such as Polygonatum sibiricum polysaccharide and Angelica sinensis polysaccharide downregulate the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） and suppress the activity of the executioner Caspase-3， thereby reducing the apoptosis rate. As for the inhibition of neovascularization， compounds including bilobalide and physcion significantly decrease the protein expression of vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， leading to a reduction in retinal pathological angiogenesis. Furthermore， Chinese herbal compound prescriptions such as Tongluo Zhujing pills， Yiqi Huoxue Yangyin decoction， Qiming granules， and Danlou tablets can also intervene in the onset and progression of DR through the mechanisms described above. In summary， both Chinese herbal monomers and Chinese herbal compound prescriptions can modulate the Nrf2 signaling pathway to inhibit oxidative stress， alleviate inflammation， and participate in maintaining BRB integrity， suppressing retinal neovascularization， and preventing neurodegeneration， thereby delaying the progression of DR. Therefore， this paper reviews and summarizes recent studies at home and abroad on how traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） works to treat DR， and the relationship between the Nrf2 pathway and DR. It aims to provide research ideas for preventing and treating DR.

OBJECTIVE To establish a high-risk medication list and preventive and therapeutic measures for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， and to provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of this condition. METHODS By integrating domestic and international case reports， retrospective case-control studies， and spontaneous adverse drug reaction reporting databases， 19 domestically marketed high-risk drugs for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia were identified. Based on the clinical characteristics and mechanisms of these drugs， relevant risk factors were systematically reviewed， and existing treatment options were summarized， leading to the preliminary development of recommended preventive and therapeutic measures. A two-round Delphi consultation was conducted to evaluate， revise， and ultimately reach consensus on the preliminary findings， using a mean importance score of ≥3.5 points for indicators and a coefficient of variation ＜0.3 as screening criteria. RESULTS The coefficient of expert authority for both rounds of expert consultation was 0.904. In the first round， the Kendall coordination coefficients （Kendall’s W ） for the high-risk medication list and the proposed preventive and therapeutic measures were 0.390 and 0.223 （ P ＜0.05）， respectively. In the second round， the Kendall’s W were 0.227 and 0.200 （ P ＜0.05）， respectively. After two rounds of expert consultation and discussion， 11 high-risk drugs for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， represented by hemocoagulase and certain anti-infective agents， were ultimately identified， along with 5 preventive and therapeutic measures spanning the entire process of “pre-medication assessment， intra-medication monitoring， and bleeding event management”. CONCLUSIONS This study has established a scientific and reliable high-risk medication list， and corresponding preventive and therapeutic measures for drug-induced hypofibrinogenemia， providing a theoretical basis and practical support for the early identification， stratified management， and precise intervention of this condition.

Objective To analyze the predictive value of different obesity indicators on acute cerebral infarction in patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA). Methods A total of 310 patients with TIA admitted to Tangdu Hospital of Air Force Medical University from March 2022 to September 2025 were selected and classified into non-event group (276 cases) and cerebral infarction group (34 cases) based on acute cerebral infarction within 90 days. The basic data and obesity-related indicators [body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio, body adiposity index (BAI), conicity index (C-index) and a body shape index (ABSI were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to screen the independent influencing factors. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to analyze the predictive efficiency. Results The age, proportions of concurrent hypertension and concurrent diabetes mellitus, ABCD2 score, waist-to-hip ratio, ABSI, C-index, BMI and BAI in the cerebral infarction group were older or higher than those in the non-event group, and the symptoms duration was longer (P<0.05). The above indicators were all related factors for acute cerebral infarction in patients with TIA within 90 days (P<0.05), and ABSI and ABCD² score were independent influencing factors (P<0.05). The prediction model was manifested as Logit (P)=− 4.205 + 0.482 × ABCD² score + 1.120 × ABSI × 100. ABSI and ABCD2 score had predictive value on the occurrence of acute cerebral infarction (P<0.05), and the predictive efficiency of combined model was higher than that of single indicator (P<0.05). Conclusion Among different obesity indicators, ABSI has the highest value on predicting recent acute cerebral infarction in TIA. The prediction model based on ABSI and ABCD2 score exhibits the best predictive efficiency.

Objective To identify key influencing factors for comorbidity between myopia and depressive symptoms among middle school students, and to construct a nomogram predictive model capable of quantitatively assessing their comorbidity risk. Methods A total of 13 976 middle school students aged 11-20 from 14 counties (cities, districts) in Yichang City were selected as study subjects through cluster random sampling. On-site surveys were conducted using the Student Health Status and Influencing Factors Questionnaire and the Depression Assessment Scale. Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the comorbidity association between myopia and depressive symptoms and their influencing factors, and to construct a nomogram model for risk prediction. Results The myopia screening rate among middle school students was 68.67%, the depression detection rate was 23.31%, and the comorbidity detection rate was 16.59%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that boarding school (OR=1.207), smoking history (OR=1.504), alcohol consumption (OR=2.016), outdoor activity time <1 h (OR=1.293), internet addiction (OR=4.008), school bullying (OR=4.358), school absence due to illness within one year (OR=1.712), and severe injury within one year (OR=1.356) were risk factors for myopia-depression comorbidity. Protective factors included male gender (OR=0.578), junior high school students (OR=0.670), nuclear family (OR=0.862), moderate-to-high intensity exercise ≥1 h/d (OR=0.852), screen time <2h (OR=0.803), adequate sleep duration (OR=0.602), and homework time after school <2 h/d (OR=0.766). The nomogram model constructed based on the above variables exhibited excellent discriminant power (AUC = 0.712) and calibration (Hosmer-Lemeshow test, χ²=3.245, P> 0.05). Conclusion Factors such as boarding school attendance, smoking history, alcohol consumption, less than 1 hour of daily outdoor activity, internet addiction, and school bullying are significantly associated with the comorbidity of screening myopia and depressive symptoms among middle school students in Yichang City. The nomogram model effectively predicts the comorbidity risk in this population, facilitating timely intervention for high-risk individuals.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ameliorative effects of Coptidis Rhizoma-Ophiopogonis Radix herb pair （HLMD） in rats with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） and its potential mechanisms.METHODS Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group （6 rats） and a model induction group （30 rats）. The T2DM rat model was established by feeding a high-sugar and high-fat diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. The successfully modeled rats were subsequently divided into the model group， the metformin group （200 mg/kg）， and the low-， medium-， and high-dose HLMD groups （100， 200 and 400 mg/kg， respectively）， with six rats in each group. Rats in each group were administered the corresponding drug solution or normal saline by oral gavage once daily for six consecutive weeks. Body weight， fasting blood glucose （FBG）， the area under the curve （AUC） of the oral glucose tolerance test， serum lipid profiles [total cholesterol （TC）， triglyceride （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C）]， and inflammatory cytokine [interleukin-6 （IL-6）， IL-1β， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and IL-10] levels were measured. Histopathological changes in liver and pancreatic tissues， as well as hepatic lipid accumulation， were evaluated. Changes in gut microbiota composition were analyzed in the control， model， and high-dose HLMD groups. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses were performed to identify potential therapeutic targets of HLMD against T2DM， followed by experimental validation.RESULTS Compared with the model group， the body weight generally recovered in rats in all HLMD dose groups， while FBG levels consistently decreased. Histopathological abnormalities， including disrupted pancreatic islet architecture， disorganized hepatocyte arrangement， hepatic cord necrosis， and lipid accumulation， were alleviated to varying degrees. AUC （except for the low-dose group）， levels of TC， TG， LDL-C， IL-6（except for the low-dose group）， IL-1β and TNF-α， Simpson and Shannon indices， as well as the relative abundances of Firmicutes， Proteobacteria， and Clostridium were significantly reduced； meanwhile， the levels of HDL-C（except for the low-dose group） and IL-10 （except for the low-dose group）， as well as the relative abundances of Bacteroidota and Ligilactobacillus were significantly increased （ P ＜0.05）. Network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses suggested that the active constituents of HLMD， including quercetin， adenosine， oleanolic acid， stigmasterol， and ophiopogonin D′， may exert antidiabetic effects by targeting key proteins such as protein kinase B1（Akt1）， TNF， IL-6， P53 and IL-1β. Experimental validation further demonstrated that HLMD significantly downregulated the protein expressions of P53 （except for the low-dose group）， IL-6 （except for the low-dose group）， IL-1β and TNF-α in the liver tissues of T2DM rats （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS HLMD alleviates glucose and lipid metabolism disorders， attenuates inflammatory responses， and ameliorates hepatic and pancreatic tissue damage in T2DM rats. These beneficial effects may be associated with the modulation of gut microbiota composition and the downregulation of inflammation-related targets， including P53， IL-6， IL-1β and TNF-α.

Background and aims:Despite growing evidence linking pretransplant exposure to immune checkpoint inhibitors(ICIs)to increased allograft rejection risk after liver transplantation(LT),a lack of comparative studies to definitively establish the correlation between ICI exposure and adverse short-term outcomes after LT exists.This study aimed to analyze the impact of preoperative ICI exposure on short-term post-LT prognosis and allograft rejection risk.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 121 recipients who underwent LT for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)between June 2019 and March 2023.The recipients were categorized into ICI(n=35)and non-ICI(n=86)exposure groups based on pretransplant ICI exposure.Demographics,clinical characteristics,and short-term outcomes were compared between the cohorts.Kaplan-Meier analysis evaluated the impact of ICI exposure on graft survival.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models assessed the impact of patient characteristics on allograft rejection.Results:Recipients with or without ICI exposure exhibited comparable demographic baseline charac-teristics.The incidences of early allograft dysfunction and biliary and vascular complications were similar between both groups.Post-transplant infection incidence was 37.1％and 20.9％in the ICI and non-ICI groups,respectively(P=0.064).Allograft rejection rates were significantly higher in the ICI group than in the non-ICI group(22.9％vs.5.8％,P=0.015).The ICI group exhibited a higher 90-day post-transplant mortality rate than that of the non-ICI group(14.3％vs.2.3％,P=0.034).Logistic regression analyses demonstrated that allograft rejection independently correlated with 90-day post-transplant mortality,with ICI exposure being an independent risk factor for allograft rejection.In recipients with ICI exposure,a shorter interval between ICIs and LT(washout period)was significantly associated with a higher allograft rejection risk,with the optimal washout period identified as 21 days for predicting 90-day rejection-free survival(P=0.0001).Moreover,in recipients with allograft rejection,the peripheral CD4+/CD8+T cell ratio was much lower in the ICI group than in the non-ICI group.Conclusions:Pretransplant ICI exposure was an independent risk factor for allograft rejection and was significantly associated with 90-day post-transplant mortality after LT for HCC.A ≤21-day washout period was significantly associated with allograft rejection.Future multicenter studies with larger cohorts and prospective designs are essential to validate these findings,confirm causality,and establish standardized clinical guidelines for ICI use before transplantation.Trail registration:ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05913583.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Xiaoyu Sanjie Prescription,which is derived from classical prescriptions Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Tang and Huoluo Xiaoling Dan,in treating middle-risk lung nodules of phlegm blended with blood stasis type.Methods A total of 104 cases of patients with middle-risk lung nodules of phlegm blended with blood stasis type who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into the trial group and the control group,with 52 cases in each group.Eventually,a total of 97 cases completed the trial for epidemic outbreak,of which 48 cases were in the trial group and 49 cases were in the control group.Both groups received health training,and then the control group was only given regular follow-up,while the trial group was treated with Xiaoyu Sanjie Prescription orally.The course of treatment covered three months.The changes in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome scores and the area of maximum lung nodule of patients in the two groups before and after treatment were observed.After treatment,overall TCM syndrome efficacy and overall western medicine efficacy as well as their efficacies for various nodules types in the two groups were assessed.Results(1)After treatment,the distribution of the grade of TCM syndrome scores in the trial group was improved significantly when compared with that before treatment(P<0.01),while that in the control group showed no significant improvement(P>0.05),and the intergroup comparison after treatment showed that the improvement in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.01).(2)The total effective rate of overall TCM syndrome efficacy in the trial group was 81.25%(39/48),and that in the control group was 20.41%(10/49);the intergroup comparison(tested by rank sum test)showed that the overall TCM syndrome efficacy in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.01).In terms of the efficacy for various nodule types,the trial group had stronger TCM syndrome efficacy for multiple nodules,mixed solid nodules,pure ground glass nodules and solid nodules than the control group,in particular the efficacy for multiple nodules and mixed solid nodules,and the differences were all statistically significant(P<0.05 or P<0.01).(3)After treatment,the area of the maximum lung nodule in the trial group was significantly reduced(P<0.01),whereas there was no significant reduction in the control group compared with that before treatment(P>0.05).Statistically significant difference was shown in the post-treatment area between the two groups and in the pre-and post-treatment difference of the area between the two groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01),which suggested that the trial group's effect on the reduction of maximum lung nodule area was significantly superior to that of the control group.(4)With regard to the efficacy of western medicine,on the whole,the total effective rate of overall western medicine efficacy in the trial group was 45.83%(22/48),while that in the control group was 6.12%(3/49),and the intergroup comparison(tested by rank sum test)showed that the overall western medicine efficacy in the trial group was significantly superior to that in the control group(P<0.01).The western medicine efficacy for multiple nodules in the trial group was superior to that in the control group(P<0.01),while no statistically significant difference was presented in western medicine efficacy for mixed solid nodules,solid nodules,and pure ground glass nodules between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Xiaoyu Sanjie Prescription is effective on relieving the clinical symptoms of patients with middle-risk lung nodules of phlegm blended with blood stasis type,and is effective on stabilizing,reducing or even eliminating some of the lung nodules.The compatibility principle of the formula deserves further discussion.
