OBJECTIVE To investigate the neuroprotective effect and mechanism of eleutheroside B (ELB) on Parkinson’s disease (PD) model mice by regulating the IκB kinase β (IKKβ)/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway. METHODS Fifty mice were randomly divided into normal control group, model group, positive control group (selegiline hydrochloride, 10 mg/kg), and ELB low-dose and high-dose groups (80, 160 mg/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Each group was given relevant medicine or normal saline intragastrically for 14 consecutive days. Starting from the 10th day of administration, the model group and all administration groups were intraperitoneally injected with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) 30 mg/kg, for five consecutive days to establish the chronic PD model. After the last administration for 24 h, six mice were randomly selected from each group to test their behavioral abilities; detect the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in brain tissue and their mRNA expressions were measured, and positive expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), protein expressions of TH, α -synuclein ( α -syn), ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1), as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in the brain tissue were detected. The ultrastructure of neurons in substantia nigra was observed. RESULTS Compared with the model group, rotarod endurance time and climbing score of each administration group (except for the ELB low-dose group) were increased significantly ( P <0.05), while the levels and mRNA expressions of IL-1β, TNF-α, α -syn, and Iba-1, as well as phosphorylation levels of IKKβ and NF-κB p65 proteins in brain tissue were decreased significantly (except for TNF-α in the ELB low-dose group). Conversely, the level and mRNA expression of IL-10 (except for the ELB low-dose group), TH positive expression and protein expressions were significantly increased ( P <0.05). Typical neurodegenerative pathological changes, such as neuronal karyopyknosis, mitochondrial swelling and vacuolization, and endoplasmic reticulum dilation, all showed varying degrees of improvement. CONCLUSIONS ELB may exert neuroprotective effects by inhibiting the activation of the IKKβ/NF-κB signaling pathway, alleviating inflammatory responses, reducing abnormal α -syn aggregation and neuronal loss, and further improving motor dysfunction in PD mice.

OBJECTIVE To provide data support and theoretical reference for drug-regulatory authorities to implement targeted supervision over internet-based pharmaceutical sales.METHODS Using keywords such as “internet-based pharmaceutical sales” and “online drug sales”, the official websites of the People’s Government, drug-regulatory authorities and databases including PKULaw and others were searched, so as to collect typical cases and public disclosure information of administrative penalties related to internet-based pharmaceutical sales from January 2014 to June 2024. Guided by accident-causation theory, the text-mining method was adopted to identify risk factors from four dimensions: human unsafe behaviors, unsafe state of substances, environmental factors and safety management. Grey relational analysis was performed to quantitatively evaluate and screen key risk factors, and targeted governance suggestions were subsequently put forward.RESULTS A total of 617 administrative penalty cases were included. The number of cases increased significantly since 2018. The regional distribution of cases presented a characteristic of “high in the east and low in the west”. Violations were mainly concentrated in the business qualification examination link, and online pharmaceutical retail enterprises were the dominant law-breaking subjects. A risk identification system for internet-based pharmaceutical sales was constructed, covering 4 primary-level, 17 secondary-level and 56 tertiary-level risk factors. Through grey relational analysis, 37 key tertiary-level risk factors (most of which belonged to the safety-management dimension) including inadequate bill management and illegal drug-advertising content, as well as 12 key secondary-level risk factors such as drug-advertising violations and non-standard drug storage, were screened out.CONCLUSIONS Inadequate capabilities and weak compliance awareness of practitioners, illegal drug advertising, non-standard drug storage and transportation, and imperfect quality-management systems of online-drug-sales enterprises and third-party platforms are prominent safety risk factors for internet-based pharmaceutical sales. It is recommended to strengthen qualification examination and competency training for practitioners, standardize drug-information display and drug advertising, improve the management system of drug warehousing and logistics, and refine institutional requirements for key links, so as to improve the supervision efficiency of internet-based pharmaceutical sales.

ObjectiveTo explore the anti-eczema efficacy and mechanism of Mongolian medicine Cymbaria dahurica n-butanol extract. MethodsThe compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-Exactive MS) analysis and literature mining. GEO chip analysis and network pharmacology were employed to predict potential targets and pathways for the anti-eczema effect. Seventy-five mice were randomized into a normal group (10 mice) and a modeling group (65 mice). The model was induced by 1% dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) for 3 days. The modeled mice were grouped as follows: Positive drug (hydrocortisone butyrate cream, 250 mg·kg-1·d-1) and low-, medium-, and high-dose (95.94, 191.88, and 383.76 mg·kg-1·d-1, respectively) C. dahurica n-butanol extract, with 13 mice in each group. From day 5 of the experiment, 0.5% DNCB was applied, once every other day, until day 22. At the same time, drugs were applied daily from day 5. The appearance damage of back skin of mice in each group was analyzed. The pathological changes of the back skin of mice in each group were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and toluidine blue (TB) staining. The levels of inflammatory factors [histamine (HIS), interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TFN-α)], thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the serum were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Metabolomics analysis was performed for the mouse skin. The HaCaT cell model of eczema was induced with TNF-α/interferon-γ (IFN-γ). The secretion levels of IL-6, IL-8, thymus and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC/CCL17), macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC), and TSLP in the cell supernatant from each group were measured by ELISA, while the protein levels of phosphorylated (p)-Janus kinase 2 (JAK2), JAK2, p-signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), and STAT3 were assessed by Western blot. ResultsThrough UPLC-Q-Exactive MS and literature review, a total of 125 compounds of C. dahurica n-butanol extract were obtained. The Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis showed that the anti-eczema mechanism of C. dahurica n-butanol extract may be related to the Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription (JAK/STAT) pathway. The results of animal experiments showed that compared with the normal group, the modeling group exhibited redness, swelling, exudation, erosion, and scab formation on the back skin surface, and thickened dermis and epidermis with inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared with the modeling group, the positive drug and C. dahurica n-butanol alleviated the skin lesions (including redness, swelling, exudation, roughness, and keratosis and scab formation on the back), reduced the thickness of dermis and epidermis, mitigated inflammatory cell infiltration, and restored the skin tissue structure. Compared with the normal group, the modeling group showed elevated levels of HIS, IL-4, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, TSLP, and IgE (P<0.05, P<0.01), which were reversed in the positive drug group and C. dahurica n-butanol extract groups (P<0.05, P<0.01). The results of metabolomics analysis showed that 12 differential metabolites might be the key substances for mitigating metabolic disorders of the skin and were closely related to the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. The cell experiement showed that compared with the normal group, the model group exhibited upregulated expression levels of IL-6, IL-8, MDC, TARC, TSLP, p-JAK2, p-STAT3, p-JAK2/JAK2, and p-STAT3/STAT3 in HaCaT cells (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, C. dahurica n-butanol extract and dexamethasone downregulated the expression levles of these molecules (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionC. dahurica n-butanol extract may play an anti-eczema role by inhibiting the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, reducing the inflammatory response, and correcting the metabolic disorder.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of child injuries(CI)and provide a scientific basis for developing CI prevention and treatment strategies.Methods:Clinical data of CI cases admitted to Kunshan Woman and Children’s Healthcare Hospital from January 1st,2020 to December 31st,2022 were collected. The cases were classified into three age groups:infants and toddlers(0-3 years),preschoolers(4-6 years),and school-age children(7-14 years). Post hoc testing was used for pairwise comparisons between groups,and differences were determined based on adjusted standardized residuals(AR). The epidemiological characteristics that were analyzed included the type,location,and nature of injuries across these age groups.Results:A total of 12 449 CI cases were collected with a male-to-female ratio of 1.72∶1. School-age boys were more prone to injuries(72.2%, AR=16.3)compared to the other two age groups. The major CI types were falls(50.4%),blunt injuries(15.9%),and strains(9.9%). The infant and toddler group showed higher rates of strains(21.9%, AR=34.9)and poisonings(7.9%, AR=19.6)compared to the other two groups,while preschoolers group had higher rates of falls(55.6%, AR=6.5)and motor vehicle accidents(4.8%, AR=3.6)compared to other age groups. The most frequently injured body regions were upper limbs(43.9%),head/face/neck(27.0%),and lower limbs(16.7%). The infant and toddler group had higher rates of head/face/neck(34.8%, AR=15.4),upper limb(46%, AR=3.6),and whole body(8.9%, AR=18.7)injuries. The nature of CI mainly includes contusion/bruise/crush injury(34.3%),fractures(20.0%)and sharp/open wounds(19.5%). School-age children exhibited higher rates of fractures(30.1%, AR=22.1),strains/sprains(10.1%, AR=13.0),contusion/bruise/crush injury(36.6%, AR=4.2),and multi-site injuries(0.7%, AR=4.4)compared to the other two groups. Injuries were mostly mild(90.8%),with infants and toddlers showing higher mild injury rates(95.0%, AR=12.7),whereas school-aged children had more moderate injuries(11.7%, AR=11.0). Conclusion:The epidemiological characteristics of CI in infants and toddlers,preschoolers and school-age children are different,and different intervention strategies are needed for different age groups.

Objective:To summarize the medication law and academic experience of Professor Yuan Jinsheng in the treatment of angina pectoris (AP) of coronary heart disease (CHD) through R language data mining technique.Methods:The effective outpatient medical records of Professor Yuan Jinsheng in the treatment of AP of CHD from January 1, 2016 to September 30, 2023 were selected, and the R 4.2.3 was used for frequency statistics, association rule analysis, systematic clustering analysis and correlation analysis of prescription drugs.Results:A total of 292 prescriptions were included, including 268 patients, involving 204 kinds of Chinese materia medica, and the total frequency of Chinese materia medica was 4 253 times. The main properties were warm and neutral, the main tastes were bitter, pungent and sweet, and the main meridians were spleen, lung and liver meridians. The analysis of association rules obtained 125 core TCM combinations, and the commonly used drug pair was Trichosanthis Fructus-Aurantii Fructus Immaturus. The core prescription composed of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Chuanxiong Rhizoma, Trichosanthis Fructus, Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium and Salviea Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. Seven TCM groups of were obtained by systematic clustering analysis. Correlation analysis showed that the drug pairs with phi coefficient greater than 0.6 were in 8 groups.Conclusions:Studies suggest that AP of CHD is located in the heart, which is related to lung, spleen, liver and kidney, deficiency in root and excess in superficiality, phlegm, blood stasis and qi stagnation are important pathological factors. The treatment is based on the basic principles of tonifying qi, promoting yang, relieving rheumatism, resolving phlegm, activating blood circulation, and promoting qi circulation. It embodies Professor Yuan's academic thoughts and principles of differentiation and treatments of "taking fluency as the main point, regulating the five internal organs and weighing the root and superficiality".

Objective To report the diagnosis,treatment,and verification process of a patient with sex development disorder whose chromosomal karyotype and genetic test results are inconsistent,and conduct a literature review to improve the understanding of the mosaic status of sexual development disorders.Methods A 14-year-old patient presented with primary amenorrhea on April 3,2020,at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University,exhibiting female sexual characteristics.The patient underwent ultrasonic/magnetic resonance imaging of gonads,assessment of gonadal axis function,chromosomal karyotype,and molecular genetic testing,as well as pelvic exploration,malignant gonads resection,and hormone replacement therapy,resulting in drug-induced menstruation.During the diagnosis and treatment,it was found that the patient's chromosomal karyotype analysis was inconsistent with the molecular genetic test results.Subsequently,samples from the three germ layer cells were taken,and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)was used to detect the sex chromosomes in each germ layer cell.XY probes were used to label the gonadal pathological sections to explore the distribution differences of the Y chromosome in the gonads,and changes in anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)levels before and after surgery were compared.Databases such as Wanfang and PubMed were searched to summarize relevant cohort study literature and understand the current status of research on this disease.Results The patient's body exhibited a significant differences between the 45,X and 46,XY cell lines in different germ layers and within the same layer tissues.The proportion of 45,X in buccal mucosal cells derived from the ectoderm was 30%(6/20),in peripheral blood lymphocytes derived from the mesoderm was 9.7%(11/114),and in bladder shed cells derived from endoderm was 20.4%(22/108).The gonadal pathological sections labeled with XY probes indicated a mosaic state with a reduced Y-chromosome;where the epididymal structure area had a 45,X cell line mosaic of 50.0%,and the malignant area had a normal"Y"content.After gonadal resection,AMH levels significantly dropped from 7.28 pmol/L to<0.07 pmol/L.Literature review revealed that patients with 45,X/46,XY have a complex phenotype spectrum,most with features of Turner syndrome,and female phenotypes are at risk of gonadal tumors.Conclusions In the diagnosis of difficult cases of sex development disorders,when performing peripheral blood karyotype testing,the number of counted cells and analyzed cells should be increased as much as possible,and multi-germ layer cell sampling should be performed.Gonads with a high"Y"mosaic rate are more prone to malignancy in the abdominal cavity.Detecting AMH levels can distinguish cryptorchidism and anorchidism in sexual development disorders with Y chromosomes.

Objective:To investigate the impact of hysteroscopic surgery on fresh embryo transfer outcomes in patients with transvaginal ultrasound-diagnosed FIGO Type Ⅱ/Ⅲ uterine fibroids that may affect the uterine cavity morphology, providing a reference for clinical practice.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed to analyze the clinical data of 346 patients who visited the Reproductive Medicine Center, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Peking University Third Hospital between January 2020 and December 2022, with transvaginal ultrasound findings indicating uterine fibroids adjacent to or protruding into the uterine cavity (FIGO Type Ⅱ, Ⅲ) and who underwent fresh embryo transfer. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether hysteroscopic surgery were performed: the hysteroscopic surgery group ( n=237, the group that underwent hysteroscopy before embryo transfer) and the non-surgery group ( n=109, the group that proceeded directly to embryo transfer without hysteroscopy). Basic patient characteristics and pregnancy outcomes were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors influencing clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Results:The baseline characteristics showed no statistically significant differences between the two groups. The clinical pregnancy rate [44.3% (105/237)] and the live birth rate [32.5% (77/237)] following fresh embryo transfer in the hysteroscopic surgery group were significantly higher than those in the non-surgery group [31.2% (34/109), P=0.021; 18.3% (20/109), P=0.007], whereas the pregnancy loss rate showed no significant difference. Stratified analysis by age revealed that for patients aged <35 years, the clinical pregnancy rate [62.1% (54/87)] and the live birth rate [51.7% (45/87)] in fresh embryo transfer cycles were significantly higher in the hysteroscopic surgery group compared with the non-surgery group [30.8% (12/39), P=0.001; 25.6% (10/39), P=0.006]. Multivariate logistic regression analysis further confirmed that hysteroscopic surgery was an independent factor influencing live birth rate ( OR=2.128, 95% CI: 1.152-3.930, P=0.016). Among patients aged <35 years, hysteroscopic surgery was an influencing factor of both clinical pregnancy rate ( OR=4.222, 95% CI: 1.745-10.215, P=0.001) and live birth rate ( OR=3.449, 95% CI: 1.436-8.282, P=0.006). Conclusion:For infertile patients with ultrasound findings of uterine fibroids adjacent to or protruding into the uterine cavity, especially younger patients, hysteroscopy is recommended. It can improve pregnancy outcomes of fresh embryo transfer, increasing both the clinical pregnancy rate and the live birth rate.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of perineal massage during pregnancy, when combined with Kegel exercises, on preventing perineal injury, and to provide a basis for offering safer and more effective delivery intervention measures for expectant mothers.Methods:Randomized controlled trials on perineal massage combined with Kegel exercises for preventing perineal injury were retrieved from databases such as CNKI, Wanfang database, VIP database, CBM database, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, from their inception to December 28, 2024. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.3 software.Results:A total of 15 articles were included, involving 2 393 research subjects. The results of the Meta-analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the first stage of labor ( MD = - 1.63, 95% CI - 1.93 - - 1.30, P<0.001), the second stage of labor ( MD = - 32.58, 95% CI - 42.26 - - 22.90, P<0.01), and the third stage of labor time ( MD = - 3.41, 95% CI - 9.91 - - 2.91, P<0.001); the degree of perineal laceration Ⅱ ( OR = 0.40, 95% CI 0.28 - 0.58, P<0.001), Ⅲ( OR = 0.38, 95% CI 0.24 - 0.60, P<0.001), and Ⅳ( OR = 0.13, 95% CI 0.03 - 0.51, P = 0.003); the rate of perineal incision ( OR = 0.15, 95% CI 0.07 - 0.34, P<0.001), the rate of perineal laceration ( OR = 0.34, 95% CI 0.25 - 0.46, P<0.001), the rate of intact perineum ( OR = 6.30, 95% CI 3.20 - 12.40, P<0.001), and the amount of perineal bleeding ( MD = - 29.72, 95% CI - 43.51 - - 15.93, P<0.001), the difference was statistically significant. Conclusions:Prenatal perineal massage combined with Kegel exercises is a safe, effective and easily implementable intervention method. It is highly effective in preventing perineal injuries and shortening the duration of labor. It not only reduces the risk of postpartum complications but also helps to optimize the delivery experience. Therefore, this combined intervention method can be regarded as one of the important measures for preventing perineal injuries and should be widely promoted in clinical practice.
