ObjectiveTo identify the primary hemostatic active components in Moutan Cortex Carbonisata（MCC） based on the spectrum-effect relationship between the fingerprint and hemostatic efficacy， thereby providing a basis for characterizing its active constituents. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS/MS） was employed to establish the fingerprint profiles of 16 batches of MCC aqueous extracts and identify the common peaks. Activated partial thromboplastin time（APTT）， an in vitro coagulation activity indicator， was measured for the 16 batches of samples using a semi-automated coagulometer. Grey relational analysis（GRA）， Pearson correlation analysis， and partial least squares regression（PLSR） were comprehensively applied to screen potential hemostatic active components. For the identified active components， multi-dimensional pharmacological validation was conducted through in vitro coagulation assays measuring APTT， prothrombin time（PT）， and thrombin time（TT）， evaluation of hemostasis rate using a zebrafish cerebral hemorrhage model， and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） detection of coagulation factor X（FⅩ） mRNA expression level. ResultsThe UPLC fingerprint of the aqueous extract of MCC was successfully established， identifying 12 common peaks. Among these， 9 chemical components were subsequently characterized using UPLC-Q-Orbitrap MS. Comprehensive application of GRA， Pearson correlation analysis， and PLSR analysis identified 5-hydroxymethylfurfural（5-HMF）， gallic acid， 1-O-galloylglucose， and p-hydroxybenzoic acid as key hemostatic active constituents in MCC. In vitro coagulation assays confirmed that all four active components significantly shortened APTT and PT（P<0.05， P<0.01）. The zebrafish cerebral hemorrhage model further validated their in vivo hemostatic efficacy， with each component significantly reducing hemorrhage area（P<0.05， P<0.01）， yielding hemostasis rates of 31.20% for 5-HMF， 68.85% for gallic acid， 45.45% for 1-O-galloylglucose， and 45.60% for p-hydroxybenzoic acid， and demonstrating overall concentration-dependent effects. Real-time PCR analysis demonstrated that all active components significantly upregulated FⅩ mRNA expression（P<0.05， P<0.01）， synergistically enhancing hemostasis. ConclusionBy integrating spectrum-effect relationship analysis and multi-dimensional efficacy validation， this study identified four hemostatic constituents from MCC， providing a scientific basis for elucidating its hemostatic material basis.

ObjectiveTo systematically evaluate the application of narrative education in undergraduate nursing teaching， to understand the current application status of narrative education， and to provide a theoretical basis for the subsequent establishment of a sound narrative education system. MethodsA systematic search was conducted for studies published in Chinese and English databases on applying narrative education to undergraduate nursing teaching， with the search period ranging from database inception to February 23， 2025. Literature was screened， and relevant information was extracted. A rigorous quality evaluation was conducted on the included studies， and a descriptive analysis was performed on their content. ResultsA total of 20 papers were included， involving 3，180 research subjects， all of whom were undergraduate nursing students. The results of descriptive analysis showed that the teaching model of narrative education primarily encompassed reading narrative works， watching films and videos， performing narrative scenarios， and writing reflective journals. The course setting and content covered pre-teaching preparation and in-teaching implementation. The evaluation of teaching effectiveness included the evaluation of teachers’ teaching methods （student evaluation/self-evaluation） and the evaluation of students’ learning effectiveness （course grade evaluation/humanistic care scale/empathy scale assessment， and others）. ConclusionNarrative education combines abstract concepts with concrete clinical situations， which not only enriches students’ learning experiences but also enhances their humanistic literacy. Meanwhile， it provides teachers with opportunities to develop their narrative teaching skills， which requires them to possess profound professional knowledge and employ narrative techniques to guide students in reflection and critical thinking， thereby improving teaching quality and learning outcomes. Future efforts should consistently deepen the connotation research of narrative education and build a systematic nursing education system.

ObjectiveTo investigate the incidence and influencing factors of posttraumatic stress disorder （PTSD） three months after a traffic accident， and to explore the role of social support and coping strategies. MethodsA total of 117 individuals exposed to trauma following road traffic accidents were recruited. General demographic and clinical information was collected within one week， and the hamilton anxiety rating scale （HAMA）， the hamilton depression rating scale-24 （HAMD-24）， the social support rating scale （SSRS）， and the simplified coping style questionnaire （SCSQ） were administered. A 3-month follow-up was subsequently conducted， during which PTSD symptoms were assessed using the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist for DSM-5 （PCL-5）. Participants were divided into a PTSD group and a non-PTSD group according to whether PTSD occurred. Between-group comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test or the χ² test， as appropriate. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the associations between general characteristics and PCL-5 scores. Binary Logistic regression was applied to identify factors influencing PTSD， and receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve analysis was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic value of the SCSQ and SSRS. ResultsDuring the 3-month follow-up of the 117 trauma-exposed individuals， 17 cases developed PTSD， with a higher proportion of females （70.59%）. Between-group comparisons showed that， compared with the PTSD group， the non-PTSD group had higher scores for positive coping， objective support， and subjective support （P<0.05）， and lower scores for negative coping， HAMA， HAMD， and PCL-5 （P<0.05）. Correlation analysis indicated that female gender， negative coping， and higher HAMA and HAMD scores were associated with greater PTSD severity. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that educational level （OR=1.715， 95% CI： 1.020-2.883， P=0.042） and negative coping （OR=1.590， 95% CI： 1.003-2.522， P=0.048） were risk factors for PTSD， whereas objective support （OR=0.646， 95% CI： 0.451-0.925， P=0.017） was a protective factor. The ROC analysis showed that the total SCSQ score and its negative and positive coping dimensions， the total SSRS score and its subjective and objective support dimensions， as well as their combined use， all demonstrated good discriminative ability in distinguishing between the PTSD and non-PTSD groups. ConclusionThe results suggest that individuals who are female， with higher HAMA and HAMD scores after a motor vehicle accident， and those with lower social support and negative coping strategies， should be given particular attention. Early interventions for these individuals may reduce the incidence of PTSD.

low transit constipation （STC） is a common functional intestinal disorder caused by impaired colonic transit function， characterized by reduced bowel movement frequency， hard stools， and difficulty in defecation. The mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling pathway， which mainly includes extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK）， c-Jun N-terminal kinase （JNK）， and p38 subtypes， plays a critical regulatory role in the occurrence and development of STC. This paper systematically reviews the multiple pathogenic mechanisms of the MAPK signaling pathway in STC and the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） intervention.At the mechanistic level， the MAPK signaling pathway promotes the progression of STC through the following links：（1） Activation of p38 upregulates the expression of aquaporin 3 （AQP3）/AQP4 in the colon， leading to excessive reabsorption of water in the intestinal lumen； （2） It forms a positive feedback loop with nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） to maintain low-grade intestinal inflammation， releases inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and inhibits smooth muscle contraction； （3） Overactivation of p38 downregulates the expression of occludin and mucin 2 while upregulates the expression of claudin-2， thereby disrupting the mucosal barrier； （4） The JNK/p38 signaling pathway activates the caspase cascade to induce apoptosis of intestinal epithelial cells， neurons， and interstitial cells of Cajal； （5） Abnormal ERK signaling and excessive activation of p38/JNK inhibit intestinal smooth muscle contraction and reduce 5-hydroxytryptamine secretion， ultimately resulting in impaired colonic transit function.At the intervention level， TCM compound formulas and single herbs have been proven to improve STC by regulating the MAPK signaling pathway. Their effects are syndrome type-dependent：yin-nourishing formulas （Zengye Chengqi Tang， Tongbian Tang） mainly regulate the ERK/AQP axis； yang-warming formulas （Jichuan Jian） target both ERK/JNK and anti-apoptosis； heat-clearing formulas （Sanren Tang） focus on p38/NF-κB anti-inflammation. A single drug can simultaneously cover multiple aspects including water metabolism， inflammation， barrier function， apoptosis， and intestinal motility.Current relevant studies still have limitations such as mechanisms mostly remaining at the correlational level and a lack of disease-syndrome integrated research models. Future studies should combine specific inhibitors or gene knockout to identify core targets， establish disease-syndrome integrated STC models， and use network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques to deeply analyze the fine mechanism of “component-target-phenotype”， so as to provide high-quality evidence for the precise regulation of the MAPK signaling pathway by TCM in the intervention of STC.

Objective To construct a dynamic prediction model for JC polyomavirus (JCV) reactivation after kidney transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 128 recipients who met the inclusion criteria and received kidney transplantation in Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, from June 2021 to December 2024. Dynamic Cox regression and dynamic restricted mean survival time (RMST) regression based on the landmark method were adopted to establish the dynamic prediction models, and Monte Carlo cross-validation was used to evaluate model performance. Results The dynamic models could predict the incidence and onset time of JCV reactivation within the subsequent 3 months according to covariates at each landmark time point from the 1st to the 6th month after transplantation. Remuzzi score, body mass index and warm ischemia time were independent risk factors for JCV reactivation, while a history of urinary BK polyomavirus reactivation served as a protective factor. The median values of the area under the curve, C-index and Brier score of the dynamic Cox model were 0.873, 0.851 and 0.065 respectively, and the C-index of the dynamic RMST model was 0.829, all of which were superior to those of the static model. Conclusions The landmark-based dynamic models exhibit excellent predictive performance, which may integrate baseline data and post-transplant follow-up information to realize dynamic assessment of the risk and time window of JCV reactivation, thereby providing evidence for optimizing post-operative monitoring and individualized intervention strategies.

There were 9 388 urban residents (39.28%) and 14 514 rural residents (60.72%). The standardized prevalence of overweight among residents increased from 30.05% in 2015 to 33.98% in 2023, the standardized prevalence of obesity increased from 7.67% to 15.22%, and the standardized prevalence of central obesity increased from 22.81% to 33.82%, all showed upward trends (all P<0.05). In 2015, 2018, and 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight was higher in males than in females. In 2018 and 2023, the standardized prevalence of obesity and central obesity were higher in males than in females (all P<0.05). From 2015 to 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among both males and females showed upward trends (all P<0.05). In 2015, 2018 and 2023, the prevalence of central obesity showed an increasing trend with age (all P<0.05). From 2015 to 2023, upward trends were observed in the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among residents aged 18-<45 years and aged ≥60 years, as well as in the prevalence of obesity and central obesity among residents aged 45-<60 years (all P<0.05). In 2015, 2018 and 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight obesity were higher in urban areas than in rural areas, while the standardized prevalence of central obesity was lower in urban areas (all P<0.05). From 2015 to 2023, the standardized prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among both urban and rural areas showed upward trends (all P<0.05). Conclusion From 2015 to 2023, the prevalence of overweight, obesity, and central obesity among adult residents in Zhejiang Province showed increasing trends, with variations in prevalence levels and trends observed across genders, ages, and urban / rural areas.

Glucosidases are an indispensable class of enzymes in the sugar metabolism of organisms. To investigate the biological functions and expression patterns of α-glucosidases (AGLUs) and β-glucosidases (BGLUs), we identified the two family members in the genome of melon (Cucumis melo). The number, location on chromosomes, gene structure, subcellular localization, conserved motifs, and phylogenetic relationship of the two family members were analyzed. Based on the cis-acting elements in the promoter region and protein interaction models, their functions were preliminarily predicted. Furthermore, the gene expression of the two family members was determined by qRT-PCR. The results showed that the melon genome contained five AGLU family members on five chromosomes, and all of the five members were located in the extracellular matrix, with the amino acid sequence lengths ranging from 899 aa to 1 060 aa. The melon genome carried 18 BGLU family members on 8 chromosomes, and all the members were located in the cell membrane or cytoplasm, with the amino acid lengths ranging from 151 aa to 576 aa. The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression of about 50% of the genes was down-regulated upon cold stress. CmAGLU5 and CmBGLU7 may be key members of the two families, respectively, in response to cold stress. The expression of all members of the two families was up-regulated under abscisic acid (ABA), high salt, and drought stress. In the AGLU family, CmAGLU3 was the key gene in response to ABA and high salt stress, while CmAGLU4 was the key gene in response to drought stress. In the BGLU family, CmBGLU18 was the key gene in response to ABA, while CmBGLU6 was the key gene in response to high salt and drought stress.
