Depression is a common mental disorder that falls under the category of "stagnation syndrome" in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. Its complex pathogenesis poses challenges for the development of novel therapeutic agents. Currently， clinically used antidepressants are often accompanied by significant side effects， and statistics show that about one-third of patients do not respond to these medications. TCM demonstrates advantages in the treatment of depression through multi-target， multi-pathway and multi-mechanistic approaches. Pinelliae Rhizoma， a phlegm-resolving herb， exhibits effects such as drying dampness and resolving phlegm， as well as eliminating stuffiness and reducing masses. The characteristics of harmonizing Yin and Yang and resolving stagnation in the middle energizer align precisely with the pathogenesis of depression syndrome， demonstrating therapeutic efficacy in affected patients. Literature studies have found that the active ingredients of Pinelliae Rhizoma， such as cavidine， baicalein， β-sitosterol， as well as Pinelliae Rhizoma herb pairs， such as Pinelliae Rhizoma-Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex， Pinelliae Rhizoma-husked sorghum， Pinelliae Rhizoma-Prunellae Spica， exhibit significant antidepressant effects. Furthermore， TCM formulas containing Pinelliae Rhizoma as the principal therapeutic agent， such as Banxia Xiexin Tang， Banxia Houpo Tang， and Wendan Tang， as well as formulas incorporating Pinelliae Rhizoma like compound Xiaochaihu Tang， Chaihu Jia Longgu Muli Tang， and Erchen Tang， have also demonstrated favorable antidepressant efficacy. The antidepressant mechanism of these agents may involve modulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine （5-HT） and dopamine （DA） levels， up-regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor （BDNF） expression， regulation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis， reduction of oxidative stress， modulation of nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB） signaling pathway， and inhibition of microglia-mediated inflammatory responses. This review summarized the antidepressant mechanisms and clinical applications of the active components， herb pairs， and TCM formulas containing Pinelliae Rhizoma， aiming to provide a reference for modern research on the use of Pinelliae Rhizoma in antidepressant therapy.

Aim To investigate the effects of Agrimonia pilosa(AP)on the proliferation and apoptosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)H1299 cells using non-targeted metabolomics and other methods,and to explore the underlying molecular mechanisms.Meth-ods Taking H1299 cells as the research object,the effect of AP on cell proliferation and apoptosis was de-tected through CCK-8 method,colony formation,LDH,Hoechst 33258 staining,AO/EB staining,flow cytometry detection,RT qPCR and other experiments.The main differential metabolites were detected by the metabolomics method of ultra-high phase liquid chro-matography and mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-Orbi-trap MS),and related metabolic pathways were ana-lyzed.Results Compared with the control group,AP treatment was able to significantly inhibit the prolifera-tion and colony formation of H1299 cells,while the re-lease of LDH increased in a dose-dependent manner.Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry and RT-qPCR analysis revealed that H1299 cells underwent crumpling and increased nuclear fragmentation after AP administration,blocked in G0/G1 phase,up-regulated apoptotic genes caspase-3 and Bax,and down-regulated apoptosis-inducing effects of Bcl-2.Metabolomics anal-ysis screened 35 differential metabolites,which were PC(O-30∶1),D-Glutamic acid,PE(18∶0/15∶0),etc.The main metabolic pathways involved includ-ed amino acid metabolism,glycerophospholipid metabo-lism and purine metabolism so on.Conclusions AP may exert its pharmacological effects by interfering with multiple metabolic pathways in H1299 cells,inhibiting cell proliferation and promoting apoptosis.

Objective:To analyze the distribution of causes of death among residents in Chuzhou City of Anhui Province from 2019 to 2022,in order to provide evidence for formulating disease prevention and control strategies.Methods:The death data of residents in Chuzhou City from 2019 to 2022 were obtained from the cause of death surveillance system of Chuzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Anhui Province.The crude death rate,composition ratio of cause of death and the rank of cause of death were analyzed.The annual percent change(APC)of mortality was calculated by using the Joinpoint regression model to describe the average annual change of mortality.Results:From 2019 to 2022,the average annual crude mortality of permanent residents in Chuzhou City was 668.80/100 000,and the crude mortality rate(/100 000)was 640.58,652.10,659.32,and 723.46,respectively(APC=3.10%,P=0.356).The annual crude mortality of males(735.93/100 000)was higher than that of females(598.52/100 000)(χ2=1 148.724,P＜0.01).The top three causes of death were malignant tumor,cerebrovascular disease,and cardiovascular disease.The mortality of malignant tumors showed a decreasing trend(APC=-1.51%,P＜0.01),and the top three causes of death of malignant tumors were lung cancer,gastric cancer and liver cancer.Among the age groups,congenital malformations and deformations,chromosomal abnormalities,and certain conditions originating in the perinatal period were the leading causes of death among residents aged 0 to 4 years old.Accidental injuries were the first cause of death among residents aged 5 to 14 years old.The leading cause of death among residents in the 15-44 and 45-64 age groups was malignant tumor.Cerebrovascular disease was the leading cause of death in≥65 years old.The mortality of accidental injuries showed an increasing trend(APC=1.64%,P＜0.01),and the specific types of death causes of accidental injuries were different among different age groups.Conclusion:Chronic non-communicable diseases,especially cancer and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases,are the main health threats to the residents of Chuzhou City of Anhui Province,and feasible prevention and control measures should be formulated.

The current situation of the in vitro diagnostic(IVD)reagent management was described,and a standard dictio-nary library of IVD reagents was constructed.An IVD reagent catalog information management system with the functions of management and price comparison was introduced in terms of its development process and application effect.Some mainte-nance and management measures for IVD reagent standard dictionary library were put forward including the establishment of an IVD reagent catalog management group and regular data maintenance and updating.References were provided for solving the problems due to the inconsistency of reagent catalog management and medical devices and materials without medical insurance codes in multi-campus medical institutions.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(4):88-92]

AIM:To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of paeoniflorin(PF)on lipopolysac-charide(LPS)-induced intestinal injury in septic mice,using a combination of network pharmacology,molecular docking,and animal experiments.METHODS:Network pharmacology was used to identify key active components and therapeutic targets of Red Peony for treating sepsis.Molecular docking was performed to explore the binding affinity be-tween PF and silent information regulator 1(SIRT1).An LPS-induced mouse model of sepsis with intestinal injury was es-tablished.Samples were collected 24 h after modeling,and hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was performed to observe pathological changes in intestinal tissues.Chiu's scoring system was utilized to evaluate the extent of intestinal injury.En-zyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was employed to measure levels of inflammatory factors in intestinal tissues,including interleukin-1β(IL-1β)and IL-18,as well as indicators of intestinal permeability such as diamine oxidase(DAO)and intestinal-type fatty acid-binding protein(I-FABP),alongside serum levels of D-lactate and the aerobic gly-colysis product L-lactate.Western blot analysis was performed to assess changes in protein levels of SIRT1,M2-type pyru-vate kinase(PKM2),and NOD-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)in intestinal tissues.RESULTS:Network pharmacolo-gy suggested that paeoniflorin,an active component of Red Peony,treats sepsis by targeting SIRT1 among other proteins.Molecular docking revealed a strong binding affinity of PF with SIRT1.In vivo experimentation revealed significant patho-logical damage in intestinal tissues in the LPS group compared to the control group as evidenced by HE staining.Chiu's score,along with levels of IL-1β,IL-18,D-lactate,and L-lactate were significantly elevated,while DAO and I-FABP levels were reduced(P＜0.05).SIRT1 expression decreased,while PKM2 and NLRP3 levels increased(P＜0.05).In contrast,the LPS+PF group displayed reduced intestinal histopathological injury,lower Chiu's scores,and decreased levels of IL-1β,IL-18,D-lactate,and L-lactate,along with increased DAO and I-FABP levels(P＜0.05).Notably,SIRT1 protein expression increased while PKM2 and NLRP3 levels decreased(P＜0.05).Furthermore,compared to the LPS+PF group,the LPS+PF+EX527 group exhibited exacerbated intestinal histopathological injury,increased Chiu's scores,as well as elevated levels of IL-1β,IL-18,D-lactate,and L-lactate,alongside reduced DAO and I-FABP levels(P＜0.05),decreased SIRT1 expression,and increased PKM2 and NLRP3 levels(P＜0.05).CONCLUSION:Paeoni-florin effectively alleviates intestinal injury in mice with sepsis,potentially through the upregulation of SIRT1 expression and the inhibition of PKM2-mediated aerobic glycolysis,which subsequently reduces the activation of NLRP3 inflamma-somes,mitigates the release of inflammatory factors,and lessens intestinal inflammation.

The epidemiological and spatiotemporal clustering characteristics of dengue fever in Fujian Province were ana-lyzed,to provide a scientific basis for dengue fever prevention and control.Descriptive epidemiology,spatial autocorrelation a-nalysis,and spatiotemporal scanning were used to analyze dengue fever cases in Fujian Province from 2011 to 2023.In this peri-od,a total of 3 586 cases of dengue fever were reported in Fujian Province,including 2 360 local cases,1 134 imported cases from abroad,and 92 imported cases from China.Cases were reported in ten prefectures and cities of the province,and 81 out of 88 counties reported cases.Imported cases were reported throughout the year in Fujian Province,but the occurrence of local ca-ses showed clear seasonality.Local cases and domestic imports were concentrated in August to October,whereas overseas im-ports occurred primarily from June to October.The imported cases were mainly from Southeast Asian countries,but a trend of spreading from Southeast Asian countries to South Asia,Africa,the Americas,and other regions,was observed.Spatio-tem-poral clustering of dengue fever was found in Fujian Province(Moran's I value 0.14-0.66,P＜0.05),and the high-high ag-gregation areas were distributed primarily in Fuzhou,Quanzhou,and Putian.Spatio-temporal scanning detected three aggrega-tion areas:one main and two secondary.The aggregation time was from the end of July to October,and the distribution was primarily in Fuzhou,Quanzhou,Putian,Zhangzhou,and Xiamen.The distribution of dengue fever in Fujian Province showed clear spatial and temporal clustering from the end of July to October,and the distribution was primarily in Fuzhou,Quanzhou,Putian,Zhangzhou,and Xiamen.For high concentration areas,national health campaigns,mosquito prevention and control,epidemic surveillance,medical personnel training,and other relevant measures could be carried out in advance before local cases appear every year.Reduce local transmission of dengue fever due to importation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of bundle intervention on reducing catheter-associated urinary tract in-fection(CAUTI).Methods Hospitalized patients with urinary catheterization in a tertiary first-class hospital were subjected to targeted monitoring of a baseline survey from January to December 2022(pre-intervention).The main causes were found out,and bundle intervention measures were developed and implemented through plan-do-check-act(PDCA)tools from January to March 2023(intervention period).The data from April to December 2023(post-intervention)were collected,difference in catheter use rate and incidence of CAUTI before and after intervention were compared.Results The implementation rate of correctly hanging urine collection bags after intervention was 97.00％,the implementation rate of timely emptying urine collection bags was 91.72％,awareness rate of hand hy-giene among patient's family members was 79.13％,implementation rate of urinary catheter clamping during trans-portation was 74.79％,and daily evaluation implementation rate was 87.68％,which were higher than the pre-in-tervention rates of 85.63％,80.47％,62.75％,60.00％,and 79.93％,respectively.The incidence of CAUTI de-creased from 1.23‰ before intervention to 0.57‰ after intervention,the use rate of urinary catheter decreased from 5.53％before intervention to 5.37％after intervention.Differences of the above indicators were all statistically sig-nificant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Through targeted monitoring on CAUTI and PDCA quality tools,the weak links in healthcare-associated infection control are identified,more targeted prevention and control measures are for-mulated,the implementation of bundle intervention measures can reduce the incidence of CAUTI.
