Sangjuyin， as a pungent and cooling agent with precise therapeutic effect， is a classic pungent formula for cooling relief of the epidermis， which is highly respected by medical practitioners. This formula is from the Wenbing Tiaobian written by WU Jutong in the Qing dynasty， on the basis of which subsequent medical practitioners have made additions and subtractions to apply it. The authors used the bibliometric method to systematically organize the medical books from the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China and modern literature to analyze the composition， concoction， decoction， efficacy， and previous and modern application of Sangjuyin. After examination， the drug base of this formula is basically clear. Armeniacae Semen Amarum is the dried mature seeds of Armeniaca vulgaris， family Rosaceae. Forsythiae Fructus is the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa， family Mulleinaceae. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba is the dried above-ground part of Mentha haplocalyx， family Labiatae. Mori Folium is the dried leaves of Morus alba， family Moraceae. Chrysanthemi Flos is the dried head of Chrysanthemum morifolium， family Asteraceae. Platycodonis Radix is the dried root of Eryngium grandiflorum， family Eryngium. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of the Leguminosae family， and Phragmitis Rhizoma is the fresh or dried rhizome of Phragmites communis of the Gramineae family. It is recommended that the eight drugs be used in raw form as medicine. The dosage and method of decoction were converted into a modern single dosage of 7.46 g Armeniacae Semen Amarum， 5.60 g Forsythiae Fructus， 2.98 g Menthae Haplocalycis Herba， 9.33 g Mori Folium， 3.73 g Chrysanthemi Flos， 7.46 g Platycodonis Radix， 2.98 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 11.19 g Phragmitis Rhizoma， with 400 mL water added， and the solution was boiled to obtain 200 mL， taken twice a day. Sangjuyin has the efficacy of dispersing wind and clearing heat， promoting lung and relieving cough， and it is used for treating the initial onset of wind-warmth and the evidence of evil spirits in the lungs and collaterals. Modern research has shown that Sangjuyin is often used in the treatment of cough， pneumonia， rhinitis， and other respiratory diseases， and the results of this study provide a reference for the later development of Sangjuyin.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical efficacy and mechanism of Bupi Qingfei prescription （BPQF） in treating stable bronchiectasis in the patients with syndromes of lung-spleen Qi deficiency and phlegm-heat accumulation in the lungs. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled trial was conducted. Patients were randomized into BPQF and placebo control （PC） groups. On the basis of conventional Western medicine treatment， the BPQF granules and placebo were respectively administered at 10 g each time， twice a day， for a course of 24 weeks. The TCM symptom scores， Quality of Life Questionnaire for Bronchiectasis （QOL-B） scores， lung function indicators， T lymphocyte subsets， level of inflammatory factors in the sputum， level of neutrophil elastase （NE） in the sputum， and occurrence of adverse reactions were observed before and after treatment in the two groups. ResultsA total of 64 patients completed the study， encompassing 32 in the BPQF group and 32 in the PC group. After treatment， the BPQF group showed decreased TCM symptom scores （P<0.01）， increased QOL-B scores （P<0.01）， and declined levels of tumor necrosis factor （TNF）-α and NE （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The PC group showed decreased TCM symptom （except spleen deficiency） scores （P<0.01）， increased the QOL-B health cognition and respiratory symptom domain scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and a declined TNF-α level （P<0.01）. Moreover， the BPQF group had lower TCM symptom （except chest tightness） scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， higher QOL-B （except treatment burden） scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and lower levels of interleukin-6 and TNF-α （P<0.05） than the PC group. Neither group showed serious adverse reactions during the treatment process. ConclusionBPQF can ameliorate the clinical symptoms of stable bronchiectasis patients who have lung-spleen Qi deficiency or phlegm-heat accumulation in the lungs by regulating the immune balance and inhibiting airway inflammatory responses.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation (LT) following total hepatectomy is a life-saving treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The HCC recurrence after LT hinders the effectiveness of the procedure. The objective of this study is to develop a pre-operative risk stratification model based on a liquid biopsy. Methods: We conducted a comprehensive multi-omics study of 260 HCC patients from three centers, including clinical data, low-coverage whole-genome sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) from plasma, as well as whole-exome, single-nucleus RNA, and spatial transcriptomics from matched tumor and non-tumor tissues. Results: We identified cfDNA-derived copy number alteration (CNA) signatures associated with post-transplant recurrence. By integrating cfDNA-derived CNA profiles with single-cell transcriptomic data, we traced recurrence-associated cfDNA to a distinct subpopulation of malignant cells within the primary tumor. These cells were embedded in a pro-metastatic microenvironment of specialized endothelial subtypes and cancer-associated fibroblasts. Notably, most recurrence-associated lesions were detectable in cfDNA prior to liver transplantation (LT). Building on these insights, we developed the ZJU Criteria based on CNA fragments and tumor markers, a pre-LT risk prediction tool that integrates conventional clinical factors with cfDNA-derived CNA signatures, and validated it using internal and independent external cohorts. Conclusion Our findings suggest that post-transplant recurrence commonly originates from advanced subclones that emerge late during tumor evolution. The ZJU Criteria provides an accurate, non-invasive strategy that significantly improves pre-LT risk stratification and clinical decision-making for patients with HCC.

Objective To study the pathogenic bacteria infection in hospitalized diabetic foot patients in the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province and its correlation with different Wagner grades,to understand the the characteristics of pathogenic bacteria and related risk factors in hospitalized diabetic foot patients in the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province,and to further provide theoretical guidance for anti-infection treatment of these patients.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the demographic data,severity of foot ulcers,and related laboratory test results of 536 patients with diabetic foot who were detected to have bacterial infection in the Third People's Hospital of Yunnan Province from January 2019 to January 2023.Results Among the 536 diabetic foot patients,pathogenic bacteria were cultured from 268 cases(50.0%)of Gram-positive bacterial infections,214 cases(39.9%)of gram-negative bacterial infections,2 cases(0.4%)of fungal infections,and 52 cases(9.7%)of mixed bacterial infections.The main pathogens among gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterococcus faecalis.for Gram-negative bacteria,the main pathogens were Escherichia coli,Enterobacter cloacae and Klebsiella pneumoniae.There were 31 cases of multi-drug resistant bacteria,and the multi-drug resistance rate was(5.78%).Among Gram-positive bacteria,all multidrug-resistant strains were Staphylococcus aureus,while among Gram-negative bacteria,the multi-drug resistant strains included Acinetobacter baumannii(1 case),Klebsiella pneumoniae(2 cases),Proteus common(2 cases),Pseudomonas aeruginosa(5 cases),Proteus mirabilis(1 case)and Enterobacter cloacae(1 case).The 536 patients were divided into Wagner grade 1 and 2 groups(78 cases),Wagner grade 3 group(274 cases),and Wagner grade 4 and 5 groups(184 cases).There were 73 cases of single bacterial infections and 5 cases of mixed bacterial infections in Wagner grade 1 and 2 group,including 51 cases(65.4%)of gram-positive bacteria,21 cases(26.9%)of gram-negative bacteria and 1 case(1.3%)of fungi.There were 248 cases of single bacterial infections and 26 cases of mixed bacterial infections in Wagner3 group,with 144 cases(52.6%)of gram-positive bacteria,103 cases(37.6%)of gram-negative bacteria,and 1 case(0.4%)with fungi.In the Wagner grade 4 and 5 groups,there were 163 cases of single bacterial infections and 21 cases of mixed bacterial infection,with 73 strains(39.7%)of gram-positive bacteria,90 strains(48.9%)of gram-negative bacteria and 0 strain(0%)of fungi.The predominant infectious pathogens in Wagner grades 1,2 and 3 were gram-positive bacteria,while those in Wagner grades 4 and 5 patients were mainly gram-negative bacteria.There were statistically significant differences in white blood cell counts,neutrophil percentage,bacterial classification,length of hospital stay,erythrocyte sedimentation rate and albumin levels among diabetic foot patients with different Wagner grades(P<0.01).With the increase of Wagner grade,patients had higher white blood cell counts and hypersensitive C-reactive protein levels,longer hospital stays,and lower albumin levels;however,there were no statistically significant differences in age,sex,duration of diabetes,smoking history,alcohol consumption history and history of hypertension(P>0.05).Conclusion The bacterial infection situation in patients with diabetic foot ulcers is related to different Wagner grades.The higher the Wagner grades,the greater the likelihood of infection with gram-negative bacteria.Antibiotics can be reasonably selected according to the Wagner grades of patients upon admission,actively controlling infection,while also enhancing,shortening hospital stays,and reducing amputation rates,thereby improving the prognosis of diabetic foot patients.

Objective To explore the advantages of combining small private online courses(SPOC)with artificial intelligence(AI)in radiology nursing teaching,in order to compensate for the shortcomings of traditional teaching models.Methods Eighty nursing students interning in the radiology department were randomly selected as research subjects and divided into an experimental group(SPOC+flipped classroom+AI-assisted teaching mode)and a control group(traditional teaching mode),with 40 students in each group.The effectiveness of the SPOC+flipped classroom+AI-assisted teaching mode was evaluated by comparing theoretical tests,nursing skills tests,self-learning ability assessments,and satisfaction with teaching modes between the two groups.Results The average scores of chapter tests,month-end assessments and graduation examinations in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.001);The average scores of indwelling needle embedding,contrast agent injection,and contrast agent allergy treatment tests in the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.001);The online learning time,homework completion rate,and online test scores of the experimental group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.001);The overall satisfaction with the teaching mode was higher in the experimental group than in the control group,with statistically significant differences(P<0.001).Conclusion The SPOC+flipped classroom+AI-assisted teaching model possesses important advantages in the instruction of nursing the department of radiology,and provides strong support for the innovation and development of nursing education in the field.

As an indispensable trace element in the human body,copper plays an important role in various physiological and biochemical reactions.The dyshomeostasis of copper leads to the disorder of copper metabolism and the occurrence of related diseases.Cuproptosis,a newly proposed regulatory cell death mode,is different from the known apoptosis,pyroptosis,necroptosis,and ferroptosis.Recent studies have found that the dyshomeostasis of copper has been observed in a variety of cancers.Therefore,targeting copper for disease treatment may become a new strategy and a new idea.This article systematically summarizes the fundamental properties of copper,copper dyshomeostasis-related diseases (Menkes syndrome,Wilson's disease,and cancer) and their treatment,and reviews the research progress in cuproptosis.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning for early diagnosis of seronegative Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (SN-HT) .Methods:This retrospective study included 164 patients from Liaoning Provincial People’s Hospital , Lixin County People’s Hospital, Linghai Dalinghe Hospital, Fengcheng Phoenix Hospital, who underwent thyroidectomy for solitary nodules with normal thyroid function between Nov. 2016 and Jan. 2024. Postoperative pathology confirmed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in some cases, who were further categorized into antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups based on serum antibody status. Patients without Hashimoto’s thyroiditis served as the control group. A total of 298 ultrasound images were analyzed. Radiomics features were extracted from hypoechoic non-nodular areas within 0.5 cm surrounding the tumor. Two senior pathologists and two senior ultrasound physicians independently assessed lymphocytic infiltration, eosinophilic changes of follicular epithelium, and the proportion of hypoechoic areas in pathology and ultrasound images, respectively. A machine learning model, CCH-NET, was developed using linear regression and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) techniques. The dataset was divided into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CCH-NET with that of senior ultrasound physicians. Results:In internal validation, CCH-NET achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 88.89% for both antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups, significantly higher than the 66.67% accuracy of senior ultrasound physicians ( P<0.01). In external validation, CCH-NET achieved 75.00% and 66.67% accuracy for the two groups, compared to 50.00% by senior ultrasound physicians. For the control group, both methods achieved 93.33% accuracy. The AUC of CCH-NET was 0.848, outperforming senior ultrasound physicians (0.681) ,demonstrating superior diagnostic performance. Conclusion:The radiomics-based CCH-NET model, using non-nodular hypoechoic areas as a specific indicator, can accurately identify early SN-HT in euthyroid patients. It significantly outperforms senior ultrasound physicians, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing missed diagnoses.

Objective To evaluate the clinical application value of the half-Fourier acquisition single-shot turbo spin echo(HASTE)sequence based on deep learning(DL)in pancreatic T2WI.Methods Data were collected from 41 patients who un-derwent both BLADE and DL-HASTE sequence scans during pancreatic T2WI at some hospital from February to July 2023.Qualitative assessments were made regarding overall image quality,pancreatic edge sharpness,pancreatic duct edge sharp-ness,pancreatic duct visua-lization(proximal,middle and distal segments)and lesion visibility of BLADE-sequence and DL-HASTE-sequence images.Quantitative assessments were carried out in terms of scan time,signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)and contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR).Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 24.0.Results DL-HASTE sequence behaved significantly better than BLADE in pancreatic duct edge sharpness,pancreatic duct visualization,lesion visibility,scan time and CNR,while worse in pane-reatic edge sharpness(all P＜0.05).There were significant differences between DL-HASTE and BLADE sequences in overall image quality and SNR(all P＞0.05).Conclusion The DL-HASTE sequence maintains image quality while significantly shor-tening scan time,making it suitable for patients with irregular respiratory rates.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2025,46(3):59-63]

Objective:To analysis of the latent profiles and influencing factors of body image in patients with postoperative oral cancer.Methods:From July 2024 to March 2025, a total of 332 patients with primary oral cancer confirmed by pathology, aged ≥18 years, and undergoing oral cancer surgery at Hunan Cancer Hospital were selected using simple random sampling and cluster sampling. Among them, 25 were female and 307 were male. The body image scale and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale were used to investigate the patients. The main indicators included the total scale scores and scores on various dimensions of body image, such as appearance evaluation and health focus, with particular attention to satisfaction with facial appearance and oral function.The correlation between self-esteem and body image was analyzed, and differences in scores were compared based on gender, age, self-esteem level, and surgical procedure.Results:Among the 332 patients, 93.4% (310/332) were married, and 6.6% (22/332) were unmarried, divorced, or widowed. A total of 84.3% (280/332) underwent flap transplantation surgery, while 15.7% (52/332) did not. The body image distress in the 332 patients could be categorized into a body image adaptation group [80.12% (266/332)] and a body image disorder group [19.88% (66/332)]. Unmarried/divorced/widowed status ( P=0.020), undergoing flap transplantation ( P=0.006), and self-esteem level ( P<0.001) were identified as influencing factors for postoperative body image disorder in oral cancer patients. Conclusions:Given the varying levels of body image concerns among oral cancer patients, healthcare providers can implement targeted, personalized nursing interventions based on their distinct categories and influencing factors.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.
