Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant solid tumor of the digestive system with extremely poor treatment prognosis. Although its incidence rate is low， its mortality rate is extremely high. In recent years， the number of diagnosed cases worldwide has continued to rise， making pancreatic cancer the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Currently， clinical treatment primarily relies on operation and chemotherapy to suppress tumors. However， these approaches face challenges such as suboptimal efficacy， high postoperative recurrence rates， and severe adverse reactions. Therefore， identifying safe and effective treatment modalities remains a pressing challenge for the medical community. In recent years， research on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） interventions for pancreatic cancer has increased significantly. Multiple studies have shown that single-herb TCM， TCM formulas， and their derived single compounds can regulate the levels of tumor cell signaling pathways through multiple action targets. They inhibit the development and progression of pancreatic cancer by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation， promoting cell apoptosis， inhibiting tumor angiogenesis， reducing cancer cell invasion and migration capabilities， regulating the cell cycle， and modulating the tumor microenvironment. Additionally， TCM has the advantages of significantly enhancing the anticancer efficacy of chemotherapy drugs and causing fewer adverse reactions. However， the specific action mechanisms by which TCM intervenes in pancreatic cancer remain unclear. Further extensive research is still needed to validate the role of regulating classical signaling pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， Wnt/β-catenin， nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB）， notch， and hedgehog in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Therefore， this paper reviewed Chinese and international studies on TCM intervention in pancreatic cancer through relevant signaling pathways in recent years， summarized the potential action mechanisms of TCM in the treatment of pancreatic cancer， and provided references for related research in the future.

ObjectiveTo provide a reference for the rational clinical use of cold Chinese medicines by sorting and analyzing their properties， flavors， meridian tropism， primary therapeutic indications， methods of administration， dosages， and precautions as recorded in the 2020 edition of Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China （Chinese Pharmacopoeia）. MethodsCold Chinese medicines for internal and external use included in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia were entered one by one， and their efficacy， properties， flavors， meridian tropism， methods of administration， dosages， and usage precautions were statistically classified and summarized to guide clinical medication use. ResultsA total of 259 cold Chinese medicines for internal use were included and categorized into 18 efficacy groups， mainly comprising heat-clearing drugs， water-excreting and dampness-draining drugs， and phlegm-resolving， cough- and asthma-relieving drugs. Their predominant flavors were bitter， sweet， and pungent， and they primarily entered the liver， lung， and stomach meridians. The main methods of administration included decocting first， grinding into powder for oral use， or preparing into pills or powders， with most dosages ranging from 9 to 15 g. A total of 83 cold Chinese medicines for external use were included， involving 16 efficacy categories. Their main flavors were bitter， sweet， and pungent， primarily entering the liver， lung， and large intestine meridians. The main external application methods were grinding into powder for topical use or preparing decoctions for fumigation and washing， with most dosages ranging from 9 to 15 g. Whether for internal or external use， cold Chinese medicines should be used with caution or contraindicated in pregnant women. ConclusionThe cold Chinese medicines included in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia are mainly suitable for patients with carbuncles， swellings， and coughs. However， in clinical practice， it is necessary to strictly follow the principles of syndrome differentiation and treatment， pay attention to administration methods and dosages， and use cold medicines rationally and effectively to improve clinical efficacy.

Objective To comprehensively investigate the levels of exposure and distribution characteristics of trihalomethanes (THMs) in drinking water in Guangzhou City, and evaluate the health risks of different groups of children, adolescents and adults, and to provide data and evidence for protecting human health and promoting risk control of drinking water. Methods According to the technical requirements of the ^"Standards for Drinking Water Quality Testing Methods^" (GB/T 5750-2023), the concentration of THMs, including trichloromethane (TCM), bromodichloromethane (BDCM), dibromochloromethane (DBCM), and tribromomethane (TBM) in drinking water in Guangzhou City from 2023-2024 were detected. The health risk model recommended by USEPA was used for risk assessment．Results TCM, BDCM and DBCM were detected in the factory water and terminal water, with TCM contributing the most. There was a statistically significant difference (P<0.05) between the wet and dry seasons, and the concentration of TCM in the wet season was higher than that in the dry season. Among the multiple exposure factors, the amount of exposure through drinking water intake was much greater than that through skin absorption. The carcinogenic risk index of THMs for children, adolescents, and adults was 22.0×10^-6, 12.2×10^-6, and 11.4×10^-6, respectively, while the non-carcinogenic risk was less than 1. Conclusion The exposure risks of THMs in children, adolescents, and adults is within an acceptable range, but monitoring needs to be strengthened, with a particular focus on children.

Objective To explore the distribution and epidemiological characteristics of single virus infection and mixed virus infection in patients with acute respiratory tract infection. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 320 patients with acute respiratory tract infections who visited sentinel hospitals from January 2022 to January 2025. All patients underwent common virus detection and atypical pathogen human rhinovirus (HRV) detection. Results In this study, there were 204 patients (71.83%) with single virus infection, including 87 cases (42.65%) of atypical pathogen human rhinovirus (HRV) infection, 28 cases (13.73%) of influenza A virus infection, 35 cases (17.16%) of influenza B virus infection, 21 cases (10.29%) of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection, 17 cases (8.33%) of adenovirus (ADV) infection, and 16 cases (7.84%) of parainfluenza virus (PIV) infection. There were 80 patients (28.17%) with mixed virus infection, including 57 cases (71.25%) of influenza virus+RSV mixed infection and 23 cases (28.75%) of ADV+PIV mixed infection. There were significant differences in the detection rates of HRV, RSV, influenza virus+RSV, and ADV+PIV among different age groups (P<0.05). The detection rates of HRV, RSV single and mixed virus were high in age of 0-5 years old, while the detection rate of ADV was high in age of ≥60 years old. Statistical differences were found in the detection rates of HRV, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, ADV, influenza virus+RSV, and ADV+PIV among different seasons (P<0.05). The detection rates of HRV, influenza A virus, influenza B virus, and RSV were high in spring and winter, the detection rates of ADV and ADV+PIV were high in summer, the detection rate of PIV was high in spring and autumn, and the detection rate of influenza virus+RSV was high in winter. There were no statistical differences in the detection rates of viral pathogens among patients with different genders (P>0.05). Conclusion Acute respiratory tract infection is mainly caused by single virus infection (HRV is the most common). Mixed infection is more common in influenza virus with RSV. Children aged 0-5 years old and elderly people over 60 years old are susceptible populations. Children have a higher risk of mixed infection, and the epidemic peak is concentrated in winter and spring.

Colorectal cancer （CRC）， as a highly prevalent malignant tumor worldwide， continues to rank among the leading malignancies in both incidence and mortality. At present， the clinical treatment of CRC mainly relies on surgery， radiotherapy， chemotherapy， and drug therapy. However， due to individual differences among patients and the emergence of drug resistance in cancer cells， the postoperative recurrence rate remains high， significantly affecting patient prognosis. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has attracted extensive attention in the field of tumor prevention and treatment because of its therapeutic advantages of multi-component， multi-target， multi-pathway， and holistic regulation. Aberrant activation of the Hedgehog signaling pathway is closely associated with the occurrence of various cancers. Studies have shown that the Hedgehog signaling pathway plays a key regulatory role in the occurrence and development of CRC. This pathway regulates the expression of downstream target genes through glioma-associated oncogene homolog （GLI） transcription factors and participates in biological processes such as tumor cell proliferation， apoptosis， invasion， and metastasis. It exerts anti- CRC effects through mechanisms including inducing apoptosis of CRC cells， inhibiting cancer cell proliferation， reversing drug resistance， and suppressing epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）， thereby influencing the progression of CRC. This article systematically reviews the latest research progress in China and abroad and comprehensively discusses the molecular regulatory mechanisms of the Hedgehog signaling pathway in CRC. It particularly focuses on the specific mechanisms by which active components of Chinese medicine， such as alkaloids and terpenoids， and Chinese medicine compound formulas， such as Baitouwengtang and Zhizhenfang， exert anti-CRC effects by interfering with the Hedgehog-GLI signaling axis. By integrating and analyzing the molecular relationship between the Hedgehog signaling pathway and the pathological progression of CRC， and combining the TCM theories of "holistic concept" and "syndrome differentiation and treatment"， this article explores new TCM therapeutic strategies based on the Hedgehog signaling pathway， with the aim of providing innovative theoretical foundations and practical guidance for the prevention and treatment of CRC with TCM.

Using a novel(OH)n-C60@SiO2@Tm2O3@Ca5(PO4)3(OH)quaternary nano-particles/cross-linked chitosan coated open-tubular capillary column(QNPsC-OTCC)as the analytical column,a new method for highly selective determination of taurine(TAU)in functional drinks using pre-column derivatization capillary electrochromatography coupled with electrochemiluminescence(CEC-ECL)detection was established.In the experiments,it was found that adding hexamethylenetetramine as a co-catalyst in N-methylation derivative reaction could quantitatively convert TAU into a single derivative product that cuold be detected by ECL.With the help of Ru(bpy)32+reagent,the ECL peak intensity of TAU derivative was increased by more than 1000 times compared to the original TAU.In addition,a Ru-containing d-f cyano-bridged heterometallic coordination polymer modified platinum electrode was used instead of a bare platinum electrode as working electrode for ECL detection,which resulted in a further increase of the peak response of TAU derivatives about 5.7 times.Under optimized analytical conditions,by using betastatin hydrochloride(BSH)as the internal standard and simultaneously derivatized with TAU,the relative ratio of peak intensity of TAU and BSH derivatives showed a linear relationship with the initial TAU concentration in a two-segment ranges of 0.2-6.0 mmol/L and 6.0-10 mmol/L.The limit of detection of TAU was 0.09 mmol/L(S/N=3).The developed method was applied to determination of TAU contents in four commercial functional drink samples,and the relative standard deviations(RSDs)for relative intensity ratio were less than 0.9％,and the recoveries were in the range of 95.0％～102.0％,indicating good practicability of the method.
