epsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome triggered by infection， and its high mortality rate is closely associated with immune imbalance， particularly the imbalance in the differentiation of helper T cell （Th） cell subsets [Th1， Th2， Th17， regulatory T cell （Treg） ] . In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， with its characteristics of multi-component and multi-target actions， has demonstrated unique advantages in regulating Th cell differentiation and function， as well as correcting immune imbalances in sepsis， offering new perspectives for immunotherapy of sepsis. This review summarizes relevant studies on the regulation of Th cell differentiation for sepsis treatment by TCM monomers and active ingredients （such as Astragalus membranaceus ， Scutellaria baicalensis ， Coptis chinensis ， Rheum palmatum ， Ganoderma lucidum ， Ginkgo biloba ， and Cistanche deserticola ）， the alcohol extract of Dai Baijie， and TCM formulas and preparations categorized as blood-activating and stasis-removing， purgative and laxative， warming and tonifying yang， and tonifying qi and nourishing yin. The results indicate that these TCM monomers， active ingredients， extracts， formulas， and preparations can regulate the Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg balance， target the differentiation balance of Th cell subsets， alleviate inflammatory responses， or improve immune suppression， thereby exerting therapeutic effects on sepsis.

Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response syndrome triggered by infection. It progresses rapidly and tends to develop into multiple organ dysfunction. Tanshinone ⅡA， one of the core active ingredients of Salvia miltiorrhiza， exerts remarkable targeted protective effects against sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction. This paper reviews the mechanisms by which tanshinone ⅡA alleviates sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction. Tanshinone ⅡA can relieve sepsis-induced lung injury by inhibiting the activity of Toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88/nuclear factor- κB， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathways and maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis. It ameliorates sepsis- induced myocardial injury via suppressing the activation of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing 3/caspase-1 signaling pathway， downregulating the expression of inflammatory factors and regulating autophagy. It mitigates sepsis-induced renal injury by regulating oxidative stress imbalance and reducing the expression of apoptosis-related proteins. It alleviates sepsis-caused liver injury through inhibiting the release of inflammatory factors and hepatocyte apoptosis. It improves sepsis-induced intestinal barrier dysfunction by upregulating the expression of tight junction proteins and restraining inflammatory responses. Furthermore， it relieves sepsis-associated encephalopathy by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator-1α/nuclear respiratory factor 1/mitochondrial transcription factor A signaling pathway. Tanshinone ⅡA is expected to be a vital candidate drug for comprehensive prevention and treatment of sepsis. However， interdisciplinary research is required to break through current bottlenecks and realize the transformation from basic experiments to clinical application.

Objective: To explore the association between peer victimization and psychotic like experiences (PLEs) among junior high school students, so as to provide a scientific basis for preventing adolescent PLEs. Methods: In January 2024, a method of combining convenient sampling with cluster sampling was used to survey 2 760 students from two ordinary junior high schools in southern Anhui Province (Susong Country,Anqing City). The Community Assessment of Psychic Experiences (CAPE) and the Adolescent Peer Bullying Scale were employed to assess PLEs with different symptoms and peer victimization (verbal, physical, relational, and cyberbullying). Multivariate Logistic regression models analyzed the associations of different types peer victimization and PLEs with different symptoms. Results: The prevalence of PLEs was 17.5%, with delusional (15.4%) and hallucinatory (7.4%) symptoms being most common. Peer victimization was reported by 51.3% of students (49.6% victims, 19.5% perpetrators), with verbal victimization being most frequent (42.4% victims, 15.5% perpetrators) and cyberbullying least frequent (6.0% victims, 1.9 % perpetrators). Compared to students without bullying,students exposed to bullying showed significantly higher rates of delusional ( χ 2=29.09-127.22), hallucinatory ( χ 2=27.23-72.29), and overall PLEs ( χ 2=34.32-127.25) (all P <0.01). After adjusting for relevant confounding factors,the multiple Logistic regression model revealed verbal victimization increased risks of delusions ( OR=1.59, 95%CI =1.22-2.09), hallucinations ( OR=1.94, 95%CI =1.33-2.84), and overall PLEs ( OR=1.62, 95%CI = 1.26- 2.09); relational victimization was associated with delusions ( OR=1.83, 95%CI =1.40-2.39) and PLEs ( OR=1.65, 95% CI = 1.28-2.13); physical victimization correlated with hallucinations ( OR=1.64, 95%CI =1.12-2.40) and PLEs ( OR=1.41, 95%CI =1.06-1.87) (all P <0.05). Conclusion Specific types of peer victimization are differentially associated with PLEs, with relational victimization demonstrating the strongest association.

Objective Exploring the influencing factors of organ dysfunction following postpartum hemorrhage.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 140 patients with postpartum hemorrhage admitted to the department of critical care medicine at the Women's Hospital School of Medicine Zhejiang University between January 2020 and December 2023.Based on the sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)score within 24 hours of ICU admission,patients were categorized into an observation group(SOFA≥2,54 cases)and a control group(SOFA<2,86 cases).Clinical data collected for both groups included age,prenatal body mass index(BMI),postpartum hemorrhage volume,obstetric and induced abortion history,use of assisted reproductive technology,and pre-delivery prophylactic iliac artery balloon,the differences in the above data between the two groups of patients to determine whether there was any organ damage were compared,and variables showing statistically significant differences were subsequently included in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Receiver operator characteristic curve(ROC curve)were plotted,and area under the curve(AUC)was calculated to evaluate the predictive performance of each influencing factor.Results The univariate analysis revealed no statistically significant differences in age,prenatal BMI,obstetric history,induced abortion history,or use of assisted reproductive technology between the two groups(all P>0.05).Compared with the control group,the observation group had significantly higher postpartum hemorrhage volume[mL:1850(1500,2500)vs.1500(1000,2 000),P<0.05]and a significantly lower proportion of patients with prophylactic iliac artery balloon[13.0%(7/54)vs.32.6%(28/86),P<0.05].Multivariate Logistic regression analysis of the two statistically significant factors from the univariate analysis showed that postpartum hemorrhage volume>1 000 mL was a risk factor for organ dysfunction[odds ratio(OR)=5.602,95%confidence interval(95%CI)was 1.569-20.002,P=0.008],while prophylactic placement of an iliac artery balloon was a protective factor against organ dysfunction(OR=0.377,95%CI was 0.147-0.971,P=0.043).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that postpartum hemorrhage volume had the highest predictive value for organ dysfunction,with an AUC=0.704 95%CI was 0.618-0.790,P<0.001.At the optimal cut-off value of 1 400 mL,the sensitivity was 48.8%and the specificity was 81.5%.The combination of a postpartum hemorrhage volume>1000 mL and pre-delivery prophylactic iliac artery balloon showed the next highest predictive value(AUC=0.666,95%CI was 0.577-0.755,P=0.001).Conclusions Postpartum hemorrhage volume>1 000 mL is a risk factor for organ dysfunction following postpartum hemorrhage and demonstrates certain predictive value,while the pre-delivery prophylactic iliac artery balloon can reduce the incidence of organ dysfunction and serves as a protective factor.

Post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI)is a prevalent and debilitating complication of stroke that significantly hinders recovery and diminishes patients'quality of life.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS),a non-invasive neuromodulation technique,has garnered growing interest for its potential to enhance cognitive function in individuals with PSCI.Concurrently,resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI),as a non-invasive neuroimaging technique,has emerged as a valuable tool for assessing spontaneous neural activity and functional connectivity in the brain.By offering in-sights into the neurobiological mechanisms underlying PSCI and the modulatory effects of rTMS,rs-fMRI provides a foundation for advancing precision-targeted interventions.This review aims to highlight recent progress in applying rs-fMRI to evaluate the efficacy and underlying mechanisms of rTMS in the treatment of PSCI.

Objective To perform an economic evaluation of ilaprazole in the treatment of patients with peptic ulcer bleeding and low-risk stigmata,and to provide a reference for drug selection.Methods From a societal perspective,we used decision analysis to evaluate the cost and effectiveness of ilaprazole and omeprazole in treating peptic ulcer bleeding patients dur-ing hospital stays.The probabilities of model nodes were taken from phase Ⅲ clinical trial research results,while cost data came from national medical insurance prices,published literature,and hospital databases.Sensitivity analysis and scenario analysis were performed to test the stability of the results.Results A cost minimization analysis was performed.Under the basic setting,the cost of the ilaprazole group was 4 038.99 yuan,and that of the omeprazole group was 3 837.61 yuan,which means that the cost of the ilaprazole group was 201.38 yuan higher.Sensitivity analysis showed that the results were stable.Scenario analysis showed that ilaprazole was more cost-effective than the innovator drug of omeprazole.Conclusion Ilaprazole was less economical than ome-prazole in the treatment of peptic ulcer bleeding patients with low-risk stigmata.
