Periorbital pain is a common concomitant symptom of dry eye disease, which is transmitted through the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve and mainly manifests as burning, distending, and stinging sensations, severely impairing patients' quality of life. Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine have unique advantages in managing dry eye-related periorbital pain. Western medicine can rapidly relieve targeted symptoms, while traditional Chinese medicine adopts holistic syndrome differentiation to lower long-term recurrence risk. Western therapeutic modalities include pharmacotherapy and physical interventional therapies, and Chinese medicine interventions cover oral herbal formulas, topical herbal preparations, acupuncture and Tuina massage. This paper systematically reviews advances over the past five years regarding the pathogenesis of dry eye-associated periorbital pain and integrated traditional Chinese and western therapeutic schemes. The limitations of current clinical studies are summarized, aiming to offer standardized clinical references and innovative insights for the diagnosis and management of dry eye-induced periorbital pain.

OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors for severe influenza patients in Fuzhou,and to provide reference for the prevention and control of severe influenza.METHODS Information on 412 patients with severe influenza in Fuzhou City with onset dates from Jan.2023 to Jan.2025 was collected from the China Influenza Surveillance In-formation System and the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System.The severe patients were matched 1∶1 with non-severe patients based on gender and age±3 years of the severe patients.Basic infor-mation,vaccination history,clinical symptoms,types of infecting viruses and medical history of both groups of patients were collected to summarize the risk factors for severe illness progression in influenza patients.RESULTS The proportions of obesity,retired personnel,children or students,unemployed individuals and smokers in the se-vere group were all higher than those in the non-severe group,while the vaccination rate(6.07％)was lower than that of the non-severe group(16.50％)(P＜0.001).The proportions of typical symptoms of shortness of breath/dyspnea and altered mental status/convulsions in the severe group were 23.30％and 21.60％,respectively,which were higher than those in the non-severe group(P＜0.001).The proportions of individuals with a history of chro-nic respiratory diseases and cancer/tumors in the severe group were 26.70％and 19.90％,respectively,which were higher than those in the non-severe group(P＜0.001).The proportion of influenza A(H1 N1)in the severe group(58.50％)was higher than that in the non-severe group(39.32％)(P＜0.001).Retired personnel,children or students and unemployed individuals were high-risk groups for the severe influenza,while farmers were a low-risk group.Obesity(OR=1.966),unvaccination(OR=3.738),smoking(OR=1.787),typical symptoms of shortness of breath/dyspnea(OR=3.305),altered mental status/convulsions(OR=4.099),history of chronic respiratory diseases(OR=4.820)and history of cancer/tumors(OR=3.269)and infection with influenza A(H1N1)(OR=6.422)and influenza A(H3N2)(OR=4.441)were risk factors for the severe influenza(P＜0.05).The recovery time in the severe group was 21(6,33)days,which was longer than that in the non-severe group(P＜0.001).CONCLUSIONS Obesity,unvaccination,smoking,typical symptoms of shortness of breath/dyspnea,altered mental status/convulsions,history of chronic respiratory diseases and history of cancer/tumors and infection with influenza A(H1N1)and influenza A(H3N2)are risk factors for severe influenza patients.It is necessary to strengthen influenza prevention and control among the elderly and children,enhance health edu-cation,and continuously promote influenza vaccination among key populations.

Objective:To investigate the differences in complications after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) between patients with pure aortic regurgitation (PAR) and aortic valve stenosis (AS), and to explore the risk factors for the occurrence of major complications.Methods:Totally 124 patients who underwent TAVR at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College between October 2021 and January 2024 were retrospectively included. Patients were divided into the PAR group (64 cases) and AS group (60 cases) based on preoperative echocardiography findings. Preoperative clinical data, echocardiography, CT imaging data,and postoperative complications were collected. The differences between the two groups in postoperative complications and preoperative clinical data, imaging data were compared. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors for major complications in the two groups, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was performed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of major risk factors for common postoperative complications in both groups.Results:The major complication in the PAR group was conduction disturbance (CD, 33 cases); the major complication in the AS group was perivalvular leakage (PVL, 41 cases). Comparison of preoperative data showed that in the PAR group, there were statistically significant differences in the shortest diameter of the membranous septum (MS) and the ratio of the shortest to longest MS diameter between patients with and without postoperative CD (both P<0.05). In the AS group, there were statistically significant differences in the long diameter of the aortic annulus, annular area, annular perimeter, and calcification score of the anchoring zone between patients with and without postoperative PVL (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the shortest diameter of the MS was an independent risk factor for postoperative CD in PAR patients ( OR=0.628,95% CI 0.437-0.902, P=0.012), and the area under the ROC curve was 0.751 (95% CI 0.630-0.872, P=0.001). Meanwhile, the calcification score of the anchoring zone was an independent risk factor for postoperative PVL in AS patients ( OR=1.454,95% CI 1.055-2.003, P=0.022), and the area under the ROC curve was 0.740 (95% CI 0.601-0.879, P=0.003). Conclusions:After TAVR, complications differ between PAR and AS patients. CD is the major complication in PAR patients, with the shortest diameter of the MS being a risk factor. Conversely, PVL is the major complication in AS patients, with the calcification score of the anchoring zone identified as a risk factor.

Objective To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of peimine,peiminine,and hupehenine in Juhong pills,to investigate the raw material usage of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq.,and to preliminarily develop a detection approach for identifying adulteration with Fritillaria hupehensis Hsiao et K.C.Hsia.Methods The high-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadruple mass spectrometry(HPLC-MS/MS)was performed on an Agilent Poroshell 120 SB C18 column(2.1 mm×100 mm,2.7 μm)with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-methanol(1∶1)and 0.1%formic acid under gradient elution.The flow rate was set at 0.3 mL·min-1.The column temperature was maintained at 35℃,and the injection volume was 2 μL.Electrospray ionization(ESI)in positive ion mode and multiple reaction monitoring were employed to quantify the three components in 170 batches of Juhong pills.Simulated positive samples with varying adulteration ratios of Fritillaria hupehensis Hsiao et K.C.Hsia were prepared to establish a simple yet efficient detection limit for adulteration.Results Three components showed good linear correlation within their ranges(r≥0.997 5),and the averaged recoveries ranged from 92.0%-106.2%.A total of 61 batches were suspected of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq.adulteration with Fritillaria hupehensis Hsiao et K.C.Hsia in raw material inputs,with the peimine to peiminine ratio below 1.15.Among these samples,27 batches were large honey-bound pills with hupehenine levels of 2.636-9.939 μg·g-1;34 batches were water-honeyed pills showing significantly higher hupehenine contamination at 6.752-48.137 μg·g-1.Conclusion The established method is simple,reliable,and accurate for the quality control of Fritillaria thunbergii Miq.adulteration in Juhong pills without imposing significant additional costs.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect and mechanism of gracillin from Reineckia carnea on autophagy in non- small cell lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS Using A549 cells as subjects， the effects of different concentrations of gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1， 2， 4 μmol/L） on the proliferation of cells were detected by CCK-8 after being treated for different time （12， 24， 48 h）. Compared with the control group without medication， the effect of gracillin （2 μmol/L） on the formation of autophagosomes in cells was observed by transmission electron microscope after 24 h of exposure. The aggregation of GFP-LC3 on autophagosome membrane was detected by GFP-LC3 plasmid transfection after being treated with gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1， 2 μmol/L） for 24 h. Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot assay were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of family with sequence similarity 102 member A（FAM102A）， the expressions of autophagy-related proteins [p62， Beclin-1， microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B （LC3B）]， and the expressions of phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway-related proteins in A549 cells after being treated with gracillin （0.25， 0.5， 1 and 2 μmol/L） for 24 h. RESULTS Gracillin significantly inhibited the proliferation of A549 cells in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. The IC50 was 2.55 μmol/L at 24 h. After 24 h of gracillin treatment， autophagosomes with bilayer membrane structure were found in the cell cytoplasm， and GFP-LC3 green fluorescent spots on autophagosome membrane were obvious， representing an increasing trend as drug concentration. Compared with the control group， mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A （0.5， 1， 2 μmol/L groups）， protein expression of Beclin-1 （1， 2 μmol/L groups） and LC3B-Ⅱ/LC3B-Ⅰ ratio （2 μmol/L group） were significantly increased in different concentrations of gracillin groups， while the protein expression of p62 （1， 2 μmol/L groups）， and the protein phosphorylations of Akt （1， 2 μmol/L groups） and PI3K （2 μmol/L group） were all decreased significantly （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS Gracillin can promote excessive autophagy in A549 cells by up-regulating mRNA and protein expressions of FAM102A and inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway， thus inhibiting cell proliferation.
