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.

Background The decline of physical activity in the elderly due to aging may increase the risk of sarcopenia. Currently, there is a lack of evidence from large natural populations on the relationship between PA and sarcopenia. Objective To explore the relationship between PA and sarcopenia in the elderly aged 60 years and above in 10 provinces (autonomous regions) of China. Methods Data were retrieved from the 2022—2023 round of the China Development and Nutrition Health Impact Cohort. Personal basic information and PA data were collected by questionnaire survey. Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bio-electrical impedance analysis, muscle strength was measured using a grip dynamometer, and physical performance was reflected by 6-meter walk speed. The Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS) 2019 criteria were used to diagnose sarcopenia. Light physical activity (LPA) duration, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) duration, and total physical activity volume were calculated. A total of 3326 residents aged ≥60 years with complete data were selected as the survey participants. Multiple logistic regression models and restricted cubic splines (RCS) were used to assess the association between PA duration/volume and sarcopenia. Results In 10 provinces (autonomous regions) of China, the prevalence of sarcopenia in the elderly aged 60 years and above was 5.5% (95%CI: 4.7%, 6.2%). The logistic regression analysis showed that compared with the elderly reporting 0-7.0 h·week⁻¹ in LPA duration, the risk of sarcopenia in the elderly with LPA duration of >14.0-21.0 h·week⁻¹ was reduced by 51% (OR=0.49, 95%CI: 0.26, 0.96). Compared with the elderly with total physical activity ≥15.0 metabolic equivalent of task (MET)-h·week⁻¹, those with <7.5 MET-h·week⁻¹ had a 2.24-fold increased risk of sarcopenia (OR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.17, 4.29). The RCS results found that LPA duration and total physical activity volume each showed a nonlinear dose-response relationship with the risk of sarcopenia (P_overall<0.05, P_non-linear<0.05). Compared with the elderly with an LPA duration of 0 h· week⁻¹, the risk of sarcopenia in the elderly with an LPA duration of 12.6 h· week⁻¹ was the lowest (OR=0.42, 95%CI: 0.21, 0.83). Compared with the elderly with a total physical activity volume of 15.0 MET-h· week⁻¹, the elderly with a total physical activity volume of 46.0 MET-h· week⁻¹ had the lowest risk of sarcopenia (OR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.38, 0.84). There was no statistically significant association between weekly MVPA duration and the risk of sarcopenia (P>0.05). Conclusion Increasing weekly LPA duration and total physical activity volume would help to reduce the risk of sarcopenia.

Objective To explore the mediating role of activities of daily living (ADL) in pain and depressive symptoms in the elderly in China. Methods Utilizing the data from 2020 China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, 4403 Chinese elderly individuals aged ≥ 60 years old were selected as the research subjects. Depression Scale (CES-D 10) of the Center for Epidemiological Survey and ADL scale were used in the study. The PROCESS4.1 macro was used to test the mediating effect of daily living activities between pain and depressive symptoms, and the Bootstrap method was applied for verification of the mediating variables. Results A total of 2368 cases of depressive symptoms were detected in the elderly in China, with a detection rate of 53.78%. Pain was positively correlated with depressive symptoms (r=0.27, P<0.01), and activities of daily living were negatively correlated with pain and depressive symptoms (r=-0.27, -0.337, P<0.01). The results showed that the total effect value of pain on depressive symptoms was 0.33, the direct effect value was 0.24, and the mediating effect value of daily living activities was 0.09, accounting for 27.27%. Conclusion Pain and activities of daily living are important factors influencing depressive symptoms in the elderly, and activities of daily living play a partial mediating role in the relationship between pain and depressive symptoms in the elderly.

Compared to traditional suturing, lung stapling using automatic staplers offers advantages such as smaller trauma, faster wound healing, ease of operation, and lower complication rates, making it widely used in clinical practice. However, there are significant differences in bronchial tissue thickness at different anatomical locations, and the market is flooded with various types of staplers. Currently, there is a lack of recommended stapling schemes for bronchial staplers at different anatomical locations. This article reviews the development and application of automatic staplers and summarizes some types of staplers that are currently used in clinical practice, with the aim of promoting the formation of individualized stapler selection protocols for minimally invasive thoracic surgery based on the Chinese population.

Thermal analysis technology has emerged as a pivotal tool for the identification and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） owing to its advantages of high sensitivity and capability for simultaneous multi-parameter detection. The application progress on thermogravimetric analysis （TGA）, differential thermal analysis （DTA）, and differential scanning calorimetry （DSC） in four key areas: authenticity identification of herbal medicines, optimization of processing techniques, evaluation of extract thermal stability, and construction of quality evaluation systems were summarized. Thermal analysis technology enables rapid authentication of medicinal materials by establishing a thermal fingerprint. When integrated with hyphenated techniques （e.g., FTIR and GC-MS）, it facilitates in-depth analysis of compositional differences in complex matrices. In Future, the development of thermal analysis databases and multi-technology integration will be expected to further promote the standardization of TCM quality control.

Objective: To analyze the distribution and related factors of spherical equivalent(SE) anisometropia in school aged children in ethnic minority areas of Yunnan Province, so as to provide a scientific basis for the intervention and control of SE anisometropia. Methods: In October 2021,a total of 1 852 school aged children in three counties/cities(Lijiang City,Dali City,Xishuangbanna) in Yunnan Province were examined by multi stage cluster random sampling method for computer optometry visual acuity examination for non ciliary paralysis and questionnaire survey.Demographic characteristics, ocular biological parameters and SE data were obtained for SE anisometropia. Group comparisons were conducted using Mann-Whitney U test or Kruskal-Wallis H test, and Logistic regression was used to explore the related factors of anisometropia in SE. Results: The prevalence of SE anisometropia among school age children was 23.0%, and the prevalence was higher in girls (24.2%) than that in boys (21.6%). Compared with non anisometropic children, school aged children with SE anisometropia had longer axial length (AL) [24.03 (23.41, 24.76), 23.93 (23.26, 24.61) mm] and corneal curvature radius (CR) [43.42 (42.43, 44.42), 43.14 (42.23, 44.04)mm], SE[-1.75(-2.75,-1.00),-0.94(-2.63,-0.25)D], smaller spherical scope [-1.38(-2.38,-0.75),-0.75(-2.38,0)D], deeper anterior chamber depth(ACD)[3.77(3.62, 3.93), 3.72(3.55, 3.89)mm], and grater differences in AL[0.58(0.32,0.82), 0.13( 0.06 ,0.22)mm], ACD[0.05(0.02,0.08), 0.03(0.01,0.06)mm] and AL/CR[0.01(0.01,0.02), 0.01(0.00,0.01)]( Z =-22.47 to -2.41, all P <0.05). The results of Logistic regression showed that mild myopia( OR =2.74), moderate myopia( OR =3.52), and high myopia( OR =8.92) had a relatively high risk of anisometropia SE in school aged children(all P <0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of SE anisometropia in school aged children in ethnic minority areas of Yunnan Province is relatively high, and the prevalence and degree of anisometropia were closely related to myopia degree and related refractive parameters.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction in oxidative stress in coronary heart disease model rats with heart blood stasis syndrome based on Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.Methods The rats were divided into normal group,sham-operation group,model group,Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction group and trimetazidine group.The rat model of coronary heart disease with heart blood stasis syndrome was established by ligation of the left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery.Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction group and trimetazidine group were administrated with the corresponding drugs at the dosages of 14.04 g/kg and 5.4 mg/kg,respectively,and normal group,sham-operation group and model group were administrated with the same volume of normal saline for 14 days.The general state of rats was observed,body mass was recorded and electrocardiogram was collected.Echocardiography was used to examine cardiac functions(LVEF,LVFS,LVIDd,LVIDs);the morphology of myocardial tissue was observed by HE staining,serum malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)and total antioxidant capacity(T-AOC)were detected by ELISA,the positive expressions of Keap1,Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 in myocardial tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with the normal group and sham-operation group,the rats in the model group showed signs of mental fatigue,reduced activity,dull fur,purple claws,and a significant decrease in body mass(P<0.01);the ST segment in lead Ⅱ of the electrocardiogram was significantly elevated,LVEF and LVFS were significantly reduced,and LVIDd and LVIDs significantly increased(P<0.01),with severe degeneration and necrosis of myocardial cells,disappearance of striated structures,disordered arrangement of myocardial fibers,infiltration of inflammatory cells;the serum MDA content significantly increased,while the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and T-AOC significantly decreased(P<0.01);the positive expressions of Keap1 and Nrf2 in myocardial tissue significantly increased,while the positive expression of HO-1 and NQO1 significantly decreased(P<0.01).Compared with the model group,the rats in Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction group and trimetazidine group showed improvement in their mental state,increased activity,shiny fur,rosy nails,and significantly increased body mass(P<0.01);the ST segment of the electrocardiogram decreased to varying degrees,with significant increases in LVEF and LVFS,and significant decreases in LVIDd and LVIDs(P<0.01);a large number of myocardial cells survived,the arrangement of myocardial fibers was relatively regular,and the infiltration of inflammatory cells was significantly reduced;the serum MDA content was significantly reduced,while the activities of SOD,GSH-Px and T-AOC significantly increased(P<0.01);the positive expression of Keap1 in myocardial tissue significantly decreased,while the positive expressions of Nrf2,HO-1 and NQO1 significantly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction may inhibit oxidative stress by activating Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway to improve the pathological morphology and structural damage of myocardial tissue and promote the recovery of cardiac functions in rats with heart blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease.

Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of special pathogenic infection in Wenchang area following the super typhoon"Yagi"disaster,and provide basis for the diagnosis,treatment,prevention and control of infectious diseases in disaster-affected areas.Methods Clinical characteristics and pathogenic data of 7 groups of patients infected with 9 species of zoonotic pathogens and opportunistic pathogens were analyzed retrospectively.The 7 groups included:pre-typhoon landfall group(August 6 to September 5,2024),post-typhoon landfall group(September 6 to October 5,2024),and groups in the past years of the same period(A2023,B2022,C2021,D2020,E2019,September 6 to October 5 of each year in 2019-2023).Epidemiological characteristics of patients as well as distribution and resistance of pathogens were compared and analyzed.Results In post-typhoon landfall group,26 patients were infected.The overall infection rate of the post-typhoon landfall group was higher than all groups except B2022 group(all P＜0.05).The infected cases mainly distributed in coastal areas.The main route of infection was outside the hospital(88.5％).Male accounted for 80.8％,agricultural workers accounted for 53.9％,and 69.2％of the cases occurred within 10 days after the typhoon.The major infection sites were multiple site co-infection,bloodstream infection,and soft tissue infection.The main pathogens maintained high sensitivity to commonly used antimicrobial agents.The accuracy of clinical initial empirical antimicrobial use was relatively low(45.5％in post-typhoon landfall group vs 62.8％in the groups of the same period in the past).The clinical cure rate decreased to 76.9％,and mortality increased to 7.7％.The mortality of patients infected with Burkholderia pseudomallei and kidney infected with Leptospira were 25.0％and 50.0％,respectively.Conclusion After ty-phoon disaster,special pathogen infection significantly increases and the prognosis is poor.It is recommended to emphasize blood culture and molecular biology testing to facilitate early diagnosis and precise treatment,optimize prevention and control measures,and enhance the accuracy of clinical empirical medication.

Isoflavones which mainly distributed in leguminous plants have plenty of health benefits.Isoflavone synthase(IFS)is a membrane-associated cytochrome P450 enzyme(CYP450)which carries out the unique aryl-ring migration and hydroxylation.So far,few crystal structures of plant P450s have been obtained.We determined the crystal structure of IFS from Medicago truncatula at 1.9 ? by MAD method using a selenomethionine substituted crystal and conducted molecular docking and mutagenesis study.The structure of IFS complexed with imidazole exhibits the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif which cor-responds to helix Ⅰ of other P450s.Compared with structures of common P450s,IFS/imidazole structure contains an extra domain,i.e.,the γ-domain.The structure reveals a homodimer in which the γ-domain of one molecule interacts with the β-domain of another.The plane of heme group makes an angle of ap-proximately 40° with the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif.Molecular docking combined with mutagenesis study suggested that Trp-128 and Asp-300 might play important roles in substrate binding and recogni-tion.Phe-301,Ser-303 and Gly-305 from the helix Ⅰa-loop-helix Ⅰβ motif may play important roles in the aryl-ring migration.These novel structural features reveal insights into the unique reaction mechanism of IFS and provide a basis for engineering IFS in leguminous crops for health purpose.

Objective:To investigate the neural regulatory mechanism of parvalbumin-positive interneurons(PV-INs)in the dentate gyrus(DG)involved in the impairment of spatial recognition memory by exercise-induced chronic fatigue.Methods:Male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were divided into control group and fatigue group by random num-ber method.A three-level incremental load treadmill training program was selected to establish a chronic exhaustion exercise fatigue model.The spatial recognition memory ability of rats was tested by novel object recognition test.The ac-tivation levels and quantitative changes of astrocytes(AS)and PV-INs in the DG region was observed and quantified through immunofluorescence staining and immunohistochemical staining.The phosphorylation level of calcium/calmodu-lin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ(CaMK Ⅱ)in the hippocampus was detected by Western blot.Results:In the test of novel object recognition,the exploration time of novel object was reduced in the fatigue group,and the discrimination index was significantly lower than that in the control group(P＜0.01).Immunohistochemical staining showed that PV-INs in the DG region of fatigue rats were lighter and fewer than those in the control group,the fibers were short and sparse,and the positive cell density and average optical density of cells were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.01).Immunofluorescence staining showed that AS was significantly activated,glial fibrillary acidic pro-tein(GFAP)was stained deeply,and the cell processes were dense and elongated in the DG region of fatigue rats.The positive cell density and mean fluorescence intensity were significantly higher than those of the control group(P＜0.01).The results of Western blot showed that the phosphorylation level of CaMK Ⅱ protein in the hippocampus of the fatigue group was significantly reduced than that of the control group(P＜0.01).Conclusion:Exercise-induced chro-nic fatigue inhibited PV-INs in the rat hippocampal DG region.The excessive activation of AS following exercise fatigue may be a major contributor to this PV-INs suppression.Concurrently,reduced phosphorylation levels of CaMK Ⅱ protein were observed in hippocampal tissue.These alterations ultimately impaired spatial recognition memory in the rats.
