OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects and potential mechanism of Panax notoginseng saponins （PNS） on gastric mucosal injury and inflammatory response in rats with chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） via the stem cell factor（SCF）/cellular tyrosine kinase receptor（c-kit） signaling pathway. METHODS Male SD rats were used to establish a CAG rat model through intragastric administration of N -methyl- N ′-nitro- N -nitrosoguanidine combined with an irregular diet. Successfully modeled rats were randomly divided into a model group， positive control-vitacoenzyme group （Positive group， 250 mg/kg）， PNS low- and high-dose groups （PNS-L and PNS-H groups， 9， 18 mg/kg）， and high-dose PNS+SCF/c-kit inhibitor group （PNS-H+ISCK03 group， 18 mg/kg+47 mg/kg）， with 8 rats in each group. Additionally， 8 healthy rats were selected as a control group. After the final administration， the activities of serum gastrin （GAS）， motilin （MTL） and pancreatic polypeptide （PP）， as well as the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， and IL-8 in gastric mucosal tissues， were measured in each group. Pathological changes of the gastric mucosal and ultrastructure of the epithelial cells were observed， and gastric mucosal atrophy was scored. Cell apoptosis in gastric mucosal tissues and the expressions of proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PCNA）， nuclear factor-κB p65 （NF-κB p65）， SCF and c-kit were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the model group showed significantly increased inflammatory cell infiltration in the gastric mucosal， extensive epithelial cell detachment， severe ultrastructural damage， and significantly elevated or up-regulated gastric mucosal atrophy score， TNF-α and IL-8 levels in gastric mucosal， cell apoptosis rate， and NF-κB p65 protein expression. Meanwhile， serum levels of GAS and MTL， PP activity， the level of IL-10 in gastric mucosal tissue， and protein expressions of PCNA and SCF， as well as the phosphorylation level of c-kit， were significantly decreased or down-regulated （ P ＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， Positive， PNS-L and PNS-H groups exhibited markedly improved pathological changes in the gastric mucosal and significant amelioration of the quantitative indicators， with the PNS-H group showing significantly better improvement than the PNS-L group （ P ＜0.05）. However， ISCK03 significantly reversed the ameliorative effects of high-dose PNS on the above indicators in rats （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS PNS improves gastric mucosal injury in CAG rats by reducing the inflammatory response and promoting gastric mucosal repair； these effects may be related to the activation of the SCF/c-kit signaling pathway.

Owing to its inherent advantages—such as being non-destructive, rapid, highly molecule-specific, and minimally interfered with by moisture—Raman spectroscopy has been widely adopted in the fields of skin barrier function assessment, monitoring the transdermal penetration of active cosmetic ingredients, and the identification and quality control of cosmetic products. Despite these strengths, the practical application of this technique faces a significant bottleneck: the strong fluorescence background generated by endogenous skin components and exogenous cosmetic additives. Endogenous skin substances, such as structural proteins (e.g., collagen and elastin), metabolic coenzymes (e.g., nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), and pigments (e.g., melanin), together with exogenous cosmetic constituents like organic colorants, chemical sunscreens, and fragrances, often possess strong absorption and emission characteristics. When excited by lasers, these components produce a fluorescence background that can be 10⁶ to 10⁸ times stronger than the Raman scattering signals, effectively masking the inherently weak vibrational fingerprint information. In recent years, driven by the rapid development of optoelectronic hardware and artificial intelligence algorithms, fluorescence suppression strategies have evolved from isolated, single-method approaches into comprehensive, multi-level synergistic systems. These systems are categorized into three distinct tiers: sample preparation, signal acquisition, and data processing. At the sample preparation level, techniques such as photobleaching and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are employed to eliminate or bypass the generation of fluorescence at the source. At the signal acquisition level, instrumental improvements—including the use of long-wavelength near-infrared excitation (typically 785 nm or 1 064 nm), confocal spatial filtering, and shifted excitation Raman difference spectroscopy (SERDS)— are utilized to physically isolate Raman signals from the fluorescence background. Furthermore, at the data processing level, numerical baseline correction methods such as polynomial fitting, penalized least squares (e.g., airPLS, arPLS), wavelet transform, and derivative algorithms are increasingly integrated into the analytical pipeline to extract Raman spectral features from mixed signals without increasing hardware costs or acquisition time. This review provides a systematic categorization and critical evaluation of these fluorescence suppression methods, detailing their underlying principles, technical advantages, and inherent limitations in diverse experimental setups. By focusing on critical application scenarios—including skin barrier assessment, percutaneous absorption monitoring, the routine quality control of cosmetics, and the emerging field of portable on-site detection—this paper explores the current state of technique selection and optimization. Finally, the article discusses future development trends, emphasizing the necessity of constructing adaptive, tiered suppression strategies, developing intelligent and automated data processing algorithms, and promoting the integration of portable, multi-modal diagnostic devices. The objective of this review is to provide a comprehensive technical reference to facilitate the transition of Raman spectroscopy from a specialized laboratory tool into a routine, robust analytical platform for advancements in skin science and cosmetic research.

Patients with lung cancer experience a heavy symptom burden during the perioperative period, which seriously affects their recovery and quality of life. Traditional symptom management models rely mainly on scheduled ward rounds during hospitalization and outpatient follow-up after discharge. However, they have limitations such as delayed symptom recognition, lack of post-discharge monitoring, and non-quantitative symptom assessment, which often lead to delayed interventions and low patient satisfaction. In recent years, the symptom management model based on electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePRO) has been increasingly valued in clinical practice. Existing high-level evidence from both domestic and international studies indicates that, through proactive monitoring, real-time alerts, and remote interventions, this model enables dynamic and continuous symptom management and helps improve patient recovery and healthcare experience. As a supplement to routine medical care, the ePRO-based symptom management model aims to enhance the quality of care rather than replace existing medical processes. To promote the standardized application of this model in perioperative lung cancer care, this consensus integrates domestic and international evidence. After multiple rounds of voting by more than 50 experts, it formulates 12 consensus statements covering the three core components, symptom monitoring, alerting, and intervention, to provide scientific and practical recommendations for clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the causal effects of plasma lipidomics on pancreatitis using Mendelian ran-domization(MR)and evaluate the roles of intra-pancreatic fat deposition(IPFD)and gallstone disease in this relation-ship.Methods:A bidirectional MR analysis was conducted,with 179 plasma lipids as exposures and acute pancreati-tis(AP)and chronic pancreatitis(CP)as outcomes.Data were sourced from genome-wide association studies(GWAS),the UK Biobank,and the FinnGen project.Two-step Mendelian randomization(TSMR)and multivariable Mendelian ran-domization(MVMR)analyses were applied to assess the mediating roles of IPFD and gallstone disease in the associa-tion between plasma lipids and pancreatitis.Results:MR analysis identified two sterols negatively associated with AP(P＜0.05)and seven sterols negatively associated with CP(P＜0.05).One phospholipid showed a positive association with CP(P＜0.05).IPFD was positively associated with both AP and CP.Gallstone disease was confirmed as a risk fac-tor for AP.However,TSMR analysis indicated that neither IPFD nor gallstone disease mediated the relationship be-tween plasma lipids and pancreatitis.Conclusion:The causal relationship exists among plasma lipomics and AP/CP,also between IPFD,cholelithiasis and pancreatitis.These findings highlight novel risk factors and potential biomarkers to support early diagnosis and intervention for pancreatitis.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of Shengmai Yin on myocardial ischemia/reperfusion in-jury(MI/RI)in vitro and in vivo and to unravel the underlying mechanism.Methods SD rats were divid-ed into the sham group,model group,and Shengmai Yin group(SM).Rat MI/RI model was established.Cardiac function,infarct area,pathological changes,cardiomyocyte apoptosis,macrophage infiltration,and serum cTnT and CK-MB levels were measured.The mRNA and protein expressions of Calpain-1 and Cal-pain-2 were assessed.The hypoxia/reoxygenation(H/R)model was constructed in H9c2 cells.The active ingredients of Shengmai Yin were screened using net-work pharmacology and verified by CCK-8.In the car-diomyocytes H/R model,Fluo-4 AM staining was used to detect the changes of Ca2+levels.Results Com-pared with model group,LVEF and LVFS of Shengmai Yin-treated rats increased,myocardial infarction area was reduced,while myocardial tissue injury was allevi-ated.Myocardial apoptosis rate and the number of macrophages were reduced.Similarly,cTnT and CK-MB levels decreased.In addition,the expression lev-els of Calpain-1 and Calpain-2 mRNA and protein de-creased in the SM treatment group.Under the H/R model,all the active ingredients of Shengmai decoction had protective effects on cardiomyocytes,and the treat-ment could reduce the level of Ca2+in cardiomyocytes.Conclusions Shengmai Yin has protective effects on MI/RI in rats.This effect may be related to the de-crease in Ca2+levels,as well as Calpain-1 and Calap-in-2 mRNA and protein expression.

Aim To elucidate the molecular mecha-nism underlying the inhibitory effect of liquidambaric acid(LDA)targeting TNF receptor associated factor 6(TRAF6)in colorectal cancer.Methods This study employed microscale thermophoresis(MST),drug af-finity responsive target stability assay(DARTS)and cellular thermal shift assay(CETSA)to confirm the direct binding of LDA to TRAF6.Additionally,we generated TRAF6 knockout colorectal cancer HCT116 cells using CRISPR/Cas9 technology,and assessed the impact of LDA on TRAF6-regulated Hippo/YAP and Wnt signaling pathways through immunofluorescence a-nalysis and TOPFlash/Renilla luciferase reporter sys-tem.Co-IP and proximity ligation assays(PLA)were conducted to investigate LDA-regulated TRAF6 pro-tein-protein interactions and elucidate molecular mech-anisms.Results The direct binding of LDA to TRAF6 was confirmed in cell lysates and living cells.LDA promoted TRAF6-dependent nuclear translocation of YAP in colorectal cancer cells,and inhibited Wnt signaling by overexpressing TRAF6.Co-IP and PLA revealed that TRAF6 formed a tripartite complex with YAP and β-catenin in colon cancer cells,where TRAF6 was a key scaffolding protein of the tripartite complex.LDA disrupted the interactions between the TRAF domain of TRAF6 and YAP,as well as YAP and β-catenin.Conclusion LDA regulates Hippo/YAP signaling pathway by targeting TRAF6 and inhib-its colorectal cancer.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of pulse pressure variability(PPV)in early prevention and diagnosis of prostate resection syndrome by observing the changes in PPV during transurethral resection of the prostate.Methods Eighty patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP)under general anesthesia from March to April 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group,with 40 patients in each group.The control group underwent routine monitoring of invasive blood pressure,while the observation group continued to monitor PPV in addition to invasive blood pressure monitoring.Observe and record the hemodynamic parameters,electrolyte Na+,K+,CL-,Changes in hemoglobin(Hb)and hematocrit(Hct),recording surgical time,intraoperative lavage fluid dosage,and occurrence of dilutive hyponatremia(TURS).Results One patient in the observation group experienced two unexplained drops in blood pressure and heart rate during surgery,and was diagnosed with TURS based on blood gas analysis.Among them,the observation group showed a decreasing trend in PPV with the prolongation of surgery time.PPV gradually decreased at 45～60 minutes after surgery,and at 90 minutes after surgery,PPV decreased significantly compared to preoperative levels.Among them,6 patients had a 50%decrease in PPV compared to preoperative levels.For patients with significantly reduced PPV,immediate treatment was given 10～20 mg of furosemide and 10 mg of dexamethasone.By the end of surgery,PPV had basically recovered to preoperative levels.Both groups of patients showed varying degrees of decrease in Na+,K+,Hct,and Hb levels.Conclusions PPV can reflect the volume status of patients.When PPV decreases by more than 50%compared to preoperative levels and there are unexplained hemodynamic changes and abnormal clinical manifestations during surgery,it is necessary to be vigilant and handle them promptly to reduce and prevent the occurrence of TURS.

Background and Aims:Surgical treatment is a cornerstone of breast cancer management;however,the physical trauma and psychological burden associated with surgery may adversely affect patients'quality of life(QoL).Based on data from a prospective cohort,this study was conducted to evaluate changes in postoperative QoL among breast cancer patients and to identify mediating factors influencing QoL,thereby providing evidence for perioperative rehabilitation strategies.Methods:Female breast cancer patients who underwent local surgical treatment at Suining Central Hospital between June 2024 and January 2025 were enrolled.The Constant-Murley Shoulder Score,EORTC QLQ-C30,and QLQ-BR23 questionnaires were used pre-and postoperatively to assess shoulder joint function,and QoL.Paired t-tests were used to analyze changes in scores before and after surgery.A mediation model was applied to explore the indirect pathways through which surgery impacts QoL.Additionally,subgroup analyses were conducted to compare QoL changes across different surgical modalities.Results:A total of 148 patients were included,with median age of 54(46-60)years old Postoperative psychological health significantly improved,while shoulder function and overall QoL scores markedly declined(all P<0.001).According to QLQ-C30,functional domains such as physical and role functioning worsened,while symptom burden increased.The QLQ-BR23 revealed significantly higher scores for breast and upper limb symptoms postoperatively(both P<0.001).Subgroup analyses showed that patients undergoing axillary lymph node dissection experienced greater declines in shoulder function and QoL compared to those receiving sentinel lymph node biopsy(both P<0.05).QoL deterioration was comparable between mastectomy and breast-conserving surgery,although the former was associated with more prominent pain and breast symptoms.Mediation analysis indicated that shoulder function,breast symptoms,and physical functioning served as mediators in the impact of surgery on QoL,while better psychological health exerted a protective effect.Conclusion:Surgical treatment significantly affects postoperative QoL in breast cancer patients,with local functional impairment and symptom exacerbation serving as key mediators.Different surgical approaches have varying impacts on QoL.Enhancing postoperative shoulder rehabilitation,symptom management,and psychological support may improve patients'QoL.

Objective To sort out the clinical research evidence on the promotion of wound healing after anal fistula surgery by traditional Chinese medicine in the past decade,and understand the evidence distribution in this field,the evidence map system was used.Methods Computer retrieval of CNKI,VIP,Wanfang,PubMed,Web of Science,EMbase,The Cochrane Library and other databases were searched.Interventional studies,observational studies,systematic review/meta-analysis on the treatment of postoperative anal fistula wounds by traditional Chinese medicine in the past decade were included.The evidence was analyzed and presented in the form of text and graphics.And the quality of clinical RCT was evaluated using Cochrane systematic review manual.AMSTAR was used to evaluate the quality of meta-analysis,and the JBI quality evaluation tool was used to evaluate the methodological quality of retrospective studies.Results A total of 544 articles were included.In recent 10 years,the number of published documents showed an increasing trend.The intervention measures of TCM to promote wound healing after anal fistula operation included single intervention mode and combined intervention mode.The outcome indexes mainly included clinical efficacy,basic wound condition,TCM syndrome score,adverse reactions,quality of life,long-term efficacy and so on.The overall quality of clinical RCT,retrospective analysis and systematic review/meta-analysis is low.Most studies showed that Chinese medicine had advantages in the treatment of vertigo,and more high-quality studies were still lacking.Conclusion More large-sample,multi-center RCTS should be carried out in the future,and the quality of relevant systematic review/meta-analysis should be improved.The advantages of TCM in promoting wound-heal after anal fistula surgery can be fully explored,which provide strong support for the effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine in improving wound management.
