This paper summarizes Professor LIU Shangyi's clinical experience in treating acute mastitis based on the "membrane collaterals" theory. It is considered that constraint and stagnation of the membrane collaterrals is the primary pathogenic factor， with damp， heat， phlegm， and stasis being the secondary manifestations. If untreated， the condition can progress to heat toxin injuring the membrane. In treatment， the emphasis is diffusing and unblocking membrane collaterals， unblocking breast and relieving constraint. The clinical course of the disease can be divided into three stages including the early stage with mild constraint heat， the middle stage with escalating toxic heat， and the later stage with a decline of pathogens but deficiency of healthy qi. In correspondence， self-made Tongru Formula （通乳方） for diffusing membrane and venting constraint， self-made Toumo Jiedu Formula （透膜解毒方） for unblocking membrane and relieving toxin， and Tuoli Xiaodu Powder （托里消毒散） with modifications for restoring membrane and rectifying healthy qi should be used， respectively.

ObjectiveTo investigate the risk factors for post-acute pancreatitis diabetes mellitus （PPDM-A） in patients with acute pancreatitis （AP）， to construct a nomogram prediction model， and to provide a reference for the development of individualized treatment regimens. MethodsA total of 351 patients with AP who were admitted to Xuzhou Municipal Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University from June 2021 to January 2025 were prospectively enrolled， and they were randomly divided into modeling group with 246 patients and validation group with 105 patients at a ratio of 7∶3. According to the presence or absence of PPDM-A in the patients with AP， the modeling group was further divided into PPDM-A group with 86 patients and non-PPDM-A group with 160 patients. Clinical data were collected from all patients. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator （LASSO） regression analysis was used to determine independent variables， and a Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for PPDM-A. R software was used to construct a nomogram model. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to assess the discriminatory ability of the model， and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test was used to test the model fitting degree， and the calibration curve was used to evaluate the model consistency； and decision curve analysis （DCA） was used to assess its clinical application value. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups， and the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsAmong the 246 patients， 86 developed PPDM-A， resulting in an incidence rate of 34.96%. There were significant differences between the PPDM-A group and the non-PPDM-A group in the proportion of patients with an age of ≥60 years （65.12% vs 40.62%， P<0.05）， male sex （75.58% vs 55.63%， P<0.05）， a body mass index （BMI） of ≥24 kg/m² （63.95% vs 37.50%， P<0.05）， alcoholic AP （56.98% vs 36.87%， P<0.05）， moderate-to-severe AP （54.65% vs 35.00%， P<0.05）， or a computed tomography severity index （CTSI） score of ≥4 points （48.84% vs 28.75%， P<0.05）， as well as significant differences in the levels of blood calcium （1.46±0.35 mmol/L vs 1.89±0.37 mmol/L， P<0.05） and random blood glucose （Glu） （17.68±4.12 mmol/L vs 11.68±4.27 mmol/L， P<0.05）. The LASSO regression analysis obtained 8 independent variables. The Logistic regression analysis showed that age， sex， BMI， alcoholic AP， moderate-to-severe AP， CTSI score， and Glu were risk factors for PPDM-A （all P<0.05）， while blood calcium was a protective factor （P<0.05）. The model had an area under the ROC curve （AUC） of 0.932 （95% confidence interval ［CI］： 0.903 — 0.962） in the modeling group， and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded χ²=7.346 （P=0.728）， the accuracy of model fitting was good； the calibration curve showed that the predicted probability was consistent with the actual probability， indicating that the consistency was good. The model had an AUC of 0.835 （95%CI： 0.753 — 0.917） in the validation group， and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test yielded χ²=7.014 （P=0.711）， the accuracy of model fitting was good； the calibration curve showed that the predicted probability was consistent with the actual probability， indicating that the consistency was good. The DCA results of the modeling group showed that the model exhibited a high clinical value in evaluating PPDM-A when the threshold probability was 0.13 — 0.94. ConclusionAge， sex， BMI， alcoholic AP， moderate-to-severe AP， blood calcium， CTSI score， and Glu are influencing factors for PPDM-A. The nomogram model constructed based on the above influencing factors shows good performance in predicting the risk of PPDM-A and can thus provide a reference for developing prevention strategies for PPDM-A in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo clarify the anti-inflammatory and lung-protective effects of Yantiao prescription on lipopolysaccharide （LPS）-induced acute lung injury （ALI）， and to explore the impact of Yantiao prescription on the metabolic pathways of arachidonic acid （AA） in vivo. MethodsThirty male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the following groups based on body weight： normal group， model group， dexamethasone group （2 mg·kg^-1）， low-dose Yantiao prescription group （18 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose Yantiao prescription group （36 g·kg^-1）， with 6 mice in each group. The ALI mouse model was established by intraperitoneal injection of LPS. The treatment groups received oral gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days， and serum and lung tissue were collected at the end of the experiment. The content of pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in serum was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to assess lung tissue pathology. The wet/dry weight ratio （W/D） and myeloperoxidase （MPO） activity in lung tissue were measured. The content of AA metabolites in serum and lung tissue was measured by liquid chromatography triple quadrupole-mass spectrometry （LC-MS/MS）. ResultsCompared with the conditions in the normal group， the content of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the model group was significantly increased （P<0.01）. The alveolar structure in mice was severely damaged， with markedly thickened alveolar walls and extensive inflammatory cell infiltration. The W/D ratio and MPO activity in lung tissue were significantly increased （P<0.01）. The content of AA metabolites， including prostaglandin D₂ （PGD₂）， prostaglandin E₂ （PGE₂）， 11（S）-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid ［11（S）-HETE］， and 5-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acid （5-HETE） in serum and lung tissue was significantly increased （P<0.05）， while the content of 11，12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid （11，12-EET） and 14，15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid （14，15-EET） in serum was significantly decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the results in the model group， the content of serum pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in the dexamethasone group， low-dose Yantiao prescription group， and high-dose Yantiao prescription group was significantly reduced （P<0.05）. Mild thickening of alveolar walls， scattered inflammatory cell infiltration， and relatively intact tissue structure with improved alveolar architecture were observed. The W/D ratio and MPO activity in lung tissue were significantly reduced （P<0.01）. The content of AA metabolites PGD₂， PGE₂， 11（S）-HETE， and 5-HETE in serum from the dexamethasone group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while the content of 14，15-EET in serum significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the content of 5-HETE in lung tissue significantly decreased （P<0.01）. In the low-dose and high-dose Yantiao prescription groups， the content of AA metabolites PGD₂， PGE₂， 11（S）-HETE， and 5-HETE in serum and lung tissue was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， while the content of 11，12-EET in both serum and lung tissue was significantly increased （P<0.05）. ConclusionYantiao prescription has significant protective effects against LPS-induced ALI， which are related to its regulation of AA metabolic pathways in vivo.

Objective: To assess the impact of long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART) on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) blood screening outcomes in post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) failure cases through a longitudinal analysis of blood screening results over a 7-year period in a patient with HIV PEP failure. Methods: This study conducted 13 follow-up assessments for a high-risk individual who initiated ART shortly after exposure. The effectiveness of various blood screening methods, including immunological assays and nucleic acid testing (NAT), was analyzed. Blood samples were also tested with HIV RNA quantification testing, Western blot (WB) confirmation testing, chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA), and HIV rapid tests utilizing gold and selenium labels. A comprehensive analysis was performed to evaluate the changes in diagnostic capabilities of different testing methods for HIV biomarkers over an extended period following PEP failure. Results: The patient had two high-risk exposures: one day before ART initiation (BA1) and seven days preceding treatment (BA7). On the first day after the ART treatment (AA1), the HIV RNA concentration (viral load) was 9.07×10 copies/mL; by day five (AA5), the viral load decreased to 1.04×10 copies/mL. At day eleven (AA11), NAT and ELISA tests were both positive, with the WB result remaining indeterminate (gp160+). At day 48 (AA48), the S/CO value of the fourth generation ELISA reagent was 1.07, while results from a 6-sample pool and quantitative NAT were negative. However, a single sample NAT returned a positive result and WB tests indicated positivity for p17, p24, and gp160. At AA74, the quantitative NAT rebounded to 2.83×10 copies/mL, with positive NAT results for single and 6-sample pool NAT tests. The S/CO values of the imported and domestic ELISA reagents were 3.39 and 23.44, respectively. At AA201, 6-sample pool and quantitative NAT were negative again, while single sample NAT remained positive. From AA319 to AA2221, all NAT results have remained consistently below the minimum detection limit. At AA2221, S/CO values of the imported and domestic ELISA reagents were 3.47 and 23.44, respectively. Conclusion: The findings indicate that patients experiencing PEP failure after high-risk HIV exposure are at a higher risk of being missed by mixed-sample NAT pools and individual serological tests. Nonetheless, anti-HIV antibody levels are sustained at elevated values for an extended duration, underscoring antibody testing as an effective measure for blood screening.

Ovarian tumor (OT) is the most lethal form of gynecologic malignancy, with minimal improvements in patient outcomes over the past several decades. Metastasis is the leading cause of ovarian cancer-related deaths, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Psychological stress is known to activate the glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1), a factor associated with poor prognosis in OT patients. However, the precise mechanisms linking NR3C1 signaling and metastasis have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we demonstrate that chronic restraint stress accelerates epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and metastasis in OT through an NR3C1-dependent mechanism involving nuclear protein 1 (NUPR1). Mechanistically, NR3C1 directly regulates the transcription of NUPR1, which in turn increases the expression of snail family transcriptional repressor 2 (SNAI2), a key driver of EMT. Clinically, elevated NR3C1 positively correlates with NUPR1 expression in OT patients, and both are positively associated with poorer prognosis. Overall, our study identified the NR3C1/NUPR1 axis as a critical regulatory pathway in psychological stress-induced OT metastasis, suggesting a potential therapeutic target for intervention in OT metastasis.

Aim To study the possibility of luteolin(LUT)as a new drug of traditional Chinese medicine and its improving effect on glucose and lipid metabo-lism and liver oxidative stress injury in db/db mice,and to explore the possible mechanism.Methods AI was used to predict the drug toxicity,evaluate the phys-ical and chemical properties and segment the molecular structure of LUT.Molecular docking was used to verify the binding ability of LUT with Nrf2 and HMOX1;db/m mice were divided into the group C,and db/db mice were randomly divided into the T,L,M,H and P groups.The body weight and FBG changes were ob-served within 12 weeks of intervention.The expres-sions of FBG,HbA1c,Fins,TC,TG,HDL-C,LDL-C were detected.The pathomorphological changes and steatosis of mouse liver were observed by HE and oil red O staining.The expression of MDA,SOD and GSH-Px in liver was detected by Kit.The protein and mRNA expressions of Nrf2 and HMOX1 were detected by immunohistochemistry,WB and qPCR.Results AI algorithm predicted the safety and easy synthesis of LUT.LUT intervention had no significant effect on the body weight of db/db mice.After 12 weeks,compared with the group C,the livers of mice in group T showed disordered structure of hepatic lobules,irregular ar-rangement of hepatocytes,and a large number of fat vacuoles and lipid droplets in the cytoplasm.Compared with the group T,LUT intervention could improve the pathological changes of liver,reduce the expression of FBG,HbA1c,fins,TC,TG,LDL-C,MDA,improve the level of HOMA-IR,and upregulate the activities of SOD and GSH-Px.Molecular docking results showed LUT had strong binding with Nrf2 and HMOX1,and could increase the expression of Nrf2 and HMOX1.Conclu-sion LUT can correct the disorder of glucose and lip-id metabolism in db/db mice,and improve the level of oxidative stress in liver of mice through Nrf2/HMOX1 pathway,which has the development prospect as a new Chinese medicine for the treatment of T2DM.
