Objective:To explore the effect of Simo decoction improving the low duodenal inflammation and protecting the du-odenal mucosal barrier in rats with functional dyspepsia(FD).Methods:Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into control group(10 rats)and model group(50 rats),and the modeling rats were prepared by multivariate intervention method.After successful modeling,the modeling rats were randomly divided into model group,Simo decoction high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose group and mosapride group,with 10 rats in each group.The high-dose,medium-dose,and low-dose groups of Simo decoction were ga-vage given 5.62 g/kg,2.81 g/kg,and 1.40 g/kg,respectively,and the mosapride group was gavage given 0.305 mg/kg of mosapride,and the control group and model group were gavage given the same amount of distilled water for 14 days.The body weight of rats was observed;gastric emptying rate and small bowel propulsion rate were measured;transmission electron microscopy was used to observe the morphology of duodenal epithelial cells;ELISA detected serum levels of IL-17A and IL-22;Western blot and immunohistochemis-try were used to detect the expressions of protease-activated receptor 2(PAR-2)and tight junction protein(ZO-1,claudin-1)in the duodenum.Results:Compared with the control group,the body weight,gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate of the model group were significantly reduced(P<0.01),transmission electron microscopy showed widening of the duodenal epithelial cell space,serum IL-17A and IL-22 levels were significantly increased(P<0.01),the expression of PAR-2 in duodenal tissue was in-creased,and the expressions of ZO-1 and claudin-1 were downregulated(P<0.01).Compared with model group,the gastric emptying rate and small intestinal propulsion rate in Simo decoction high-dose,medium-dose and mosapride group were increased(P<0.05,P<0.01),the contents of IL-17A and IL-22 in serum decreased(P<0.05,P<0.01),and the expression of PAR-2 in duodenal tissues was down-regulated,the expressions of ZO-1 and claudin-1 was significantly increased(P<0.01).The low-dose group of Simo soup could improve weight loss(P<0.01),reduce IL-17A content and PAR-2 expression,and increase ZO-1 and claudin-1 expression(P<0.05,P<0.01),while the effect on other indexes was not obvious.Conclusion:Simo decoction may reduce low-grade duodenal in-flammation to repair the mucosal barrier by down-regulating the levels of IL-17A and IL-22 and the expression of PAR-2,and up-regu-lating the expression of ZO-1 and claudin-1,so as to exert the effect of FD treatment.

Long-term exposure to particulate matter has been increasingly implicated in the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, its impact on IgA nephropathy (IgAN), a leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), remains unclear. A total of 1768 IgAN patients, confirmed by renal biopsy were included in this cohort study. Long-term exposure to PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ was assessed using high-resolution satellite-based data from the China High Air Pollutants (CHAP) dataset. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the associations between PM_2.5 or PM₁₀ and ESRD risk, adjusting for demographic, clinical, and biochemical covariates. Over a median follow-up of 3.63 years, 209 participants progressed to ESRD. Higher exposure to both PM_2.5 and PM₁₀ was significantly associated with an increased risk, with hazard ratios of 1.62 and 1.36 per 10 µg/m³ increase, respectively. A nonlinear dose-response relationship was observed, with risk increasing markedly beyond threshold levels. Trajectory modeling of prebaseline exposure identified a subgroup with persistently high and fluctuating particulate matter exposure that showed the highest risk. This study provides strong evidence that prolonged exposure to ambient particulate matter contributes to renal disease progression in individuals with IgAN.

Objective: To analyze the research status, hotspots and frontier progress of hypertension in children in English and Chinese literature, so as to provide reference for the early prevention of hypertension in children. Methods: The Web of Science core collection database and CNKI database were searched to collect the literature related to the study of hypertension in children from 2000 to 2021, and the CiteSpace 5.8.R3 and VOSviewer 1.6.18 visualization tools were used to analyze the literature characteristics including publications, authors, regions, institutional cooperation, research hotspots and frontiers. Results: A total of 22 687 English studies and 4 440 Chinese studies were finally included. According to the analysis results, the number of articles published on hypertension in children was on the rise. The published English articles were mainly University of Toronto and University of Colorado. The main publishing institution of Chinese articles was the First Affiliated Hospital of Peking University. The United States and China took the lead in the number of core journals published in the field of hypertension in children, the United States ranked first in terms of the influence of publications. Keyword co occurrence analysis showed that the high frequency keywords in the English literature included prevalence, risk, obesity, risk factor, body mass index, insulin resistance, overweight, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease and mortality. Chinese high frequency keywords in the literature include obesity, risk factors, adiposis, influencing factors, overweight, prevalence, diabetes, treatment, health education and body mass index. The analysis of keywords showed that 25 burst terms were obtained separately in English and Chinese literature. Conclusion In recent years, the research interest on hypertension in children continues to grow and keeps updated, with the research scope expanding significantly, regarding obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

Purpose: From the perspective of positive psychology, our study aimed to explore depressive symptomsand psychological well-being among Chinese nurses, as well as analyze the impacts of characterstrengths, self-efficacy and social support on the mental health of nurses. Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive design using five self-reported questionnaires was used toinvestigate a cohort of 4238 nurses during 2018. A structural equation modeling analysis was used toverify a hypothetical model linking character strengths, self-efficacy, social support, depressive symptoms,and psychological well-being. Results: The prevalence of depression among this cohort of Chinese nurses was 58.1%. The mean scoresfor caring, inquisitiveness, and self-control were 19.93 (SD = 2.82), 15.94 (SD = 3.00), and 16.34(SD = 2.95), respectively. The hypothesized model was a good fit of the data (x2/df = 1.77, p = .183, rootmean square error of approximation = 0.04, goodness of fit index = 1.00, comparative fit index = 1.00,TuckereLewis index = 1.00). Except for the path from self-control to depression, the other hypotheticalpaths investigated were statistically significant. Conclusion Character strengths were directly and positively associated with psychological well-being.Inquisitiveness was the strongest direct protective factor for depression. In addition, characterstrengths indirectly alleviated depression and increased psychological well-being through mediatingvariables of social support and self-efficacy. This study should alert nurse managers that more attentionshould be paid to the character strengths and mental health of nurses. This study provides evidence forinterventions based on character strengths as a management strategy to support the mental health ofnurses.

Objective To analyze the long-term results of rituximab combined with whole brain radiotherapy and 3-dimentional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) in treatment of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Methods 23 postoperative patients younger than 60 years old were treated. Whole brain radiotherapy with dose of 32.4 Gy were performed and lesions were followed by 3D-CRT with dose of 18 Gy.A dose of rituximab (375 mg/m2) was infused on day 1 (once a week for six weeks).The overall survival was analyzed by using Kaplan-Meier.Results 19 patients(82.6 ％) was complete remission 3 patients (13.0 ％) was part remission,14 patients (60.9 ％) was progression-free survival was 26 months (17-34 months). The overall survival was 40 months (29-55 months). Toxicity was moderate without grade 3-4 neurotoxicity toxic events. Conclusions Radiotherapy (whole brain radiotherapy with sequential 3D-CRT)combined with rituximab seems to yield substantial long-term survival with moderate toxicity for the treatment of the younger patients with PCNSL.
