ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the protective effects of the Tanyu Tongzhi Youhua prescription（TYTZP） against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats via regulation of the cyclic GMP-AMP synthase （cGAS）/stimulator of interferon genes （STING） signaling pathway. MethodsFifty-six 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into sham group， model group， ticagrelor group （32.4 mg·kg^-1）， RU320521 （RU.521cGAS inhibitors） group （5 mL·kg^-1）， groups of TYTZP with low dose （3.6 g·kg^-1）， medium dose （7.2 g·kg^-1）， and high dose （14.4 g·kg^-1）， with eight rats per group. The ticagrelor group and groups of TYTZP with different doses received pre-treatment for seven days according to their respective protocols. The RU.521 group received an intraperitoneal injection one hour before modeling. A rat model of the no-reflow phenomenon in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in situ. Myocardial no-reflow area was determined by thioflavin staining. Histopathological morphology of myocardial tissue was observed via hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining. Cardiac function was detected by echocardiography. Myocardial microcirculation function change was observed by using real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography. The myocardial enzyme levels in the serum were measured by serum biochemical analysis. The double-stranded DNA （dsDNA） levels were detected by using PicoGreen. The protein expression of cGAS， STING， and nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） p65 in myocardial tissue was detected by Western blot. The levels of cardiac troponin Ⅰ （cTNⅠ）， cardiac troponin T （cTNT）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the peripheral blood were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed a significantly increased myocardial no-reflow area （P<0.01）. Myocardial fiber rupture and disarray and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed by HE staining. The ultrasound results indicated that left ventricular ejection fraction （LVEF） and left ventricular fractional shortening （LVFS） （P<0.01） were significantly decreased. Real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography showed that the peak time of myocardial blood perfusion was significantly prolonged （P<0.01）， and the levels of creatine kinase （CK）， creatine kinase isoenzyme （CK-MB）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， cTNⅠ， cTNT， and dsDNA were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. Western blot results showed that the myocardial protein expressions of cGAS， STING， and NF-κB p65 were upregulated （P<0.01）. ELISA results showed that the inflammatory factors in the serum such as IL-6， IL-1β， and TNF-α were increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the group of the TYTZP significantly reduced the levels of myocardial enzyme， troponins， and dsDNA （P<0.01， P<0.05）， improved cardiac function and myocardial microcirculation， alleviated histopathological morphology and inflammatory infiltration， inhibited activation of the cGAS/STING pathway， reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 （P<0.01， P<0.05）， and inhibited inflammatory response. ConclusionThe TYTZP mitigates the no-reflow phenomenon in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury， and its mechanism is associated with inhibiting the activation of the cGAS/STING pathway and attenuating inflammatory responses.

Objective: To analyze the clinical characteristics and management strategies of metronidazole-associated Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), and to provide a clinical basis for medication safety during the oral perioperative period. Methods: The study adhered to the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Stomatological Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University. A retrospective analysis was conducted on a case of SJS following mandibular impacted tooth extraction, for which the patient had taken metronidazole. Additionally, a literature review was performed by searching databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, PubMed, and Web of Science to identify reported cases of metronidazole-associated SJS. Demographic features, medication regimens, latency periods, clinical signs, interventions, and prognosis were analyzed. Results: The patient presented with lip swelling, extensive erosion and ulceration of the oral mucosa, and severe odynophagia. Scattered erythematous macules and bullae were observed on the trunk and extremities, with a positive Nikolsky sign. Additionally, there was erosion of the perineal skin and glans penis mucosa, along with skin desquamation of the scrotum. The patient with SJS was managed in the hospital by discontinuing metronidazole and administering sequential treatments, including glucocorticoids, immunomodulators, intravenous immunoglobulin, and plasma exchange. The condition gradually improved; after a 14-month follow-up, only mild dry eye remained, with no significant scarring of the skin or mucosa. However, delayed recognition of early warning signs resulted in delayed drug withdrawal and intervention. The literature review identified 6 additional cases (3 males, 3 females) with a median age of 45.5 years (range 31-61). Indications for metronidazole included postoperative sepsis prophylaxis after duodenal ulcer perforation repair, digestive system infections, mucosal diseases, pelvic inflammatory disease, septic cellulitis with pneumonia, and gingivitis. Administration routes comprised oral (n = 2), intravenous (n = 3), and topical (n = 1). The latency period from drug administration to onset ranged from 0.25 to 7 days (median 4 days). All of the cases presented with oral mucosal erosion, and a positive Nikolsky’s sign was noted for five patients. Discontinuation of the causative drug was the cornerstone of treatment, supplemented by immunomodulatory therapy, symptomatic support, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Prognoses varied significantly: among the four patients treated with “drug withdrawal + glucocorticoids + supportive care,” three recovered fully and one improved; among the two patients receiving “drug withdrawal + simple supportive care,” one recovered and one died Conclusion Although metronidazole-associated SJS is rare, it progresses rapidly and frequently involves oral mucosal damage, typically occurring within one week of administering the medication. Early drug withdrawal and prompt initiation of glucocorticoid therapy can improve prognosis. During the oral perioperative period, strict adherence to metronidazole indications, enhanced monitoring for early warning symptoms, and the establishment of a multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment model are essential to minimize the risk of severe adverse drug reactions.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of rehabilitation robot training on abdominal muscles thickness and balance ability in children with hemiplegia. MethodsFrom October, 2024 to December, 2025, 58 children with hemiplegia were admitted to Beijing Bo'ai Hospital and randomly divided into control group (n = 29) and experimental group (n = 29). Both groups received conventional rehabilitation treatment, and the experimental group received rehabilitation robot training in addition, for four weeks. The thickness of bilateral external oblique, internal oblique and transversus abdominis, Berg Balance Scale (BBS) score, the time of Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT), the center of pressure (COP) ellipse area, and self-selected walking speed (SWS) and maximum walking speed (MWS) of 10-meter walk test were compared before and after training. ResultsThree cases dropped out in each group. After training, the thickness of the external oblique, internal oblique and transverse abdominis on the hemiplegic side increased significantly in the experimental group (|t| > 7.280, P < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.43~2.01), and was better in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 2.895, P < 0.01, Cohen's d = 0.80~1.60); the BBS score increased in both groups (|t| > 6.667, P < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.30~4.06), and was better in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -2.721, P < 0.01, Cohen's d = 0.75). The time of TUGT decreased in both groups (t > 5.790, P < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.14~2.68), and was better in the experimental group than in the control group (t = 2.290, P < 0.05, Cohen's d = 0.63). The SWS and MWS increased in both groups (|Z| > 2.910, P < 0.01, r = 0.40~0.68), and were better in the experimental group than in the control group (|Z| > 2.912, P < 0.05, r = 0.40~0.45), and the differences remained significant after correction. ConclusionRehabilitation robot training can improve the thickness of external oblique, the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles on the hemiplegic side in children with hemiplegia, and improve their balance and walking functions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the impact of Buzhong Yiqitang combined with cisplatin on the proliferation of human lung adenocarcinoma （A549） cells through regulation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 （PDK1）/protein kinase B （Akt） signaling pathway and influence on glycolysis. MethodsTranscriptome sequencing （RNA-seq） was employed to compare the expression of glycolysis-related genes between A549 cells and cisplatin-resistant human lung adenocarcinoma cells （A549/DDP）. Small interfering RNA （siRNA） was employed to knock down PDK1， and the knockdown efficiency was verified by Western blot and Read-time PCR. The cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay was used to assess the survival and viability of A549 cells under the following conditions： siRNA negative control+cisplatin （128， 64， 32， 16， 8， 4， 0 μmol·L^-1）， siPDK1+cisplatin （128， 64， 32， 16， 8， 4， 0 μmol·L^-1）， and siPDK1+cisplatin （128， 64， 32， 16， 8， 4， 0 μmol·L^-1）+Buzhong Yiqitang （10%）-containing serum. The 20% inhibitory concentration （IC₂₀） of the siRNA negative control+cisplatin group （7.832 μmol·L^-1） was calculated and used as the subsequent cisplatin concentration. Colony formation assay was performed to evaluate the proliferation of A549 cells. Lactate and adenosine triphosphate （ATP） assay kits were used to measure lactate and ATP production. The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected with the fluorescent probe JC-1. Western blotting was conducted to examine the expression levels of PDK1， phosphorylated （p）-Akt， Akt， pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2）， glucose transporter 1 （GLUT1）， pyruvate dehydrogenase （PDH）， and lactate dehydrogenase A （LDHA）. Confocal immunofluorescence was employed to detect PDK1 and p-Akt. ResultsRNA-seq results identified PDK1 as a highly expressed differential gene in glycolysis metabolism between A549 cells and A549/DDP cells， and it was highly expressed in tumor cells. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis （GSEA） revealed upregulated and downregulated genes in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways. Western blot and RT-qPCR confirmed that PDK1-si-2 had the highest transfection efficiency， with a PDK1 knockdown rate exceeding 60%. CCK-8 assay determined the half-maximal inhibitory concentration （IC₅₀） values for each group as （30.698±5.348）， （16.372±3.562）， （13.237±1.573） μmol·L^-1， while the IC₂₀ of cisplatin in siRNA negative control-transfected A549 cells was （7.832±0.672） μmol·L^-1. Compared with the siRNA negative control group， the siRNA negative control+cisplatin group showed decreased colony formation rate， reduced lactate production， lowered mitochondrial membrane potential， downregulated protein levels of p-Akt， GLUT1， PDK1， PDH， and LDHA， and reduced PDK1 fluorescence intensity （P<0.05）. The siPDK1 group exhibited decreased colony formation rate， reduced lactate production， increased ATP production， lowered mitochondrial membrane potential， downregulated protein levels of p-Akt， PKM2， GLUT1， PDK1， PDH， and LDHA， and reduced PDK1 and p-Akt fluorescence intensity （P<0.05）. Compared with the siPDK1 group， the siPDK1+Buzhong Yiqitang group showed decreased colony formation rate， reduced lactate production， downregulated protein levels of PKM2， GLUT1， and PDK1， and reduced PDK1 fluorescence intensity （P<0.05）. The siPDK1+cisplatin group exhibited decreased colony formation rate， reduced lactate production， increased ATP production， lowered mitochondrial membrane potential， downregulated protein levels of PKM2， GLUT1， PDK1， and PDH， and reduced PDK1 and p-Akt fluorescence intensity （P<0.05）. The siPDK1+cisplatin+Buzhong Yiqitang group demonstrated decreased colony formation rate， reduced lactate production， increased ATP production， lowered mitochondrial membrane potential， downregulated protein levels of p-Akt， PKM2， GLUT1， PDK1， PDH， and LDHA， and reduced PDK1 and p-Akt fluorescence intensity （P<0.05）. Compared with the siPDK1+Buzhong Yiqitang group， the siPDK1+cisplatin group showed decreased colony formation rate， downregulated protein levels of p-Akt and PDH， and reduced PDK1 and p-Akt fluorescence intensity （P<0.05）. The siPDK1+cisplatin+Buzhong Yiqitang group exhibited decreased colony formation rate， reduced lactate production， increased ATP production， lowered mitochondrial membrane potential， downregulated protein levels of p-Akt， GLUT1， PDH， and LDHA， and reduced PDK1 and p-Akt fluorescence intensity （P<0.05）. Compared with the siPDK1+cisplatin group， the siPDK1+cisplatin+Buzhong Yiqitang group showed decreased colony formation rate， increased ATP production， and downregulated protein levels of p-Akt， PKM2， and LDHA （P<0.05）. ConclusionBuzhong Yiqitang combined with cisplatin can suppress lung adenocarcinoma cell proliferation by modulating glycolysis through the PDK1/Akt signaling pathway.

Objective:To explore the moderating effect of social support on the effect of occupational stress affecting job burnout, and to provide a theoretical basis for effectively reducing job burnout of medical workers.Methods:In April 2021, a cluster sampling method was adopted. Two units were randomly selected from the tertiary, secondary and primary medical institutions in Shanghai to carry out the survey. The survey was conducted by distributing electronic questionnaires online, and a total of 1963 valid questionnaires were collected. The questionnaire employed Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) to measure job burnout, and Job Content Questionnaire to measure occupational stress and social support. The questionnaire also collected demographic characteristics and work-related information. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for one-way analysis to test whether there was any difference in the distribution of occupational stress, job burnout, and social support on different demographic characteristics. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used to analyze the correlation between occupational stress, job burnout, and social support. Bootstrap method was used to analyze the moderating effect of social support on occupational stress affecting job burnout. Results:The occupational stress score was 1.232 (1.039, 1.530) , the job burnout score was 2.480 (1.560, 3.240) , and the social support score was 3.500 (3.125, 4.000) . Occupational stress, job burnout and social support were distributed differently on sex, job position, hospital level, monthly income, daily working hours, break duration per shift, and break duration between shifts ( P<0.05) . Occupational stress was positively associated with job burnout ( rs=0.49, P<0.001) , and social support was negatively associated with both occupational stress ( rs=-0.44, P<0.001) and job burnout ( rs=-0.48, P<0.001) . Social support played a moderating role in the influence of occupational stress on job burnout ( B=0.321, 95% CI: 0.216~0.426) . Conclusion:The problem of job burnout is more prominent among medical workers. In the context of enhanced social support, improving job stress condition can lead to a greater decrease in job burnout.

Purpose To investigate the expression of SNRPA in gastric cancer and its effect on the proliferation,migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells.Methods The expression of SNRPA in gastric cancer tissues was ana-lyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database.The level of SNRPA was detected by immunohistochemistry(EnVision method),and its relationship with clinicopathological parameters was analyzed.Western blot was used to detect the expression of SNRPA in 15 cases of fresh gastric cancer and paracancerous tissues.The expression of SNRPA in MGC-803 and GES-1 cells was detected by immunofluorescence staining.The effects of SNRPA expression on the proliferation,migration and invasion of gastric cancer cell lines were determined by RNA interference technology and cell function assays,and the expression levels of Cyclin D1 protein and EMT-related proteins(E-cadherin,N-cadher-in)were detected by Western blot.Results The expression level of SNRPA in gastric cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in normal gastric mucosal tissues(P＜0.05),with an area under the curve(AUC)of 0.902 for diag-nostic accuracy.The Kaplan-Meier survival curves showed that the survival time of the group with high expression of SNRPA was shorter.SNRPA expression correlated with tumor size,Ki67,infiltration depth,and p53 status(P＜0.05).Compared with the corresponding control group,SNRPA silencing inhibited the proliferation,migration and in-vasion ability of gastric cancer cells,accompanied by decreased Cyclin D1 and N-cadherin expression and increased E-cadherin expression(P＜0.05).Conclusion SNRPA expression is upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines,promoting the proliferation,migration,and invasion of gastric cancer cells,and may be a potential molecular marker for gastric cancer.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)is a chronic liver disease caused by excessive lipid accumulation in the liver.Its incidence rate is increasing year by year and has become an increasingly serious public healthy problem.The pathogenesis of NAFLD is complex and has not been fully clarified at present.It is mainly related to multiple factors such as genetics,metabolism,intestinal flora and immune response.In order to explore the medication rules and mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in the treatment of NAFLD,and to provide references for the treatment of NAFLD with TCM and the research and development of new drugs,this article summarizes the TCM pathogenesis of NAFLD(such as"phlegm and blood stasis interlacing","liver depression and spleen deficiency",etc.)and modern etiology and pathogenesis(such as insulin resistance,lipid disorder,mitochondrial dysfunction,oxidative stress,etc.).The clinical research and experimental data at home and abroad in recent years were integrated to analyze the pathological process of NAFLD intervention by TCM through multiple targets,including improving insulin resistance and lipid metabolism disorders,inhibiting oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction,etc.TCM has shown unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of NAFLD.However,the depth of its mechanism analysis and the level of clinical research still need to be improved.In the future,it is necessary to deepen the mechanism research by combining multi-omics technology to accelerate the modernization development of TCM.
