The differences in microscopic characteristics between the Plantago asiatica from different populations were mainly reflected in the number of non-glandular hairs on the leaf surface, the shape of the petiole endothelial layer cells, and the number of large vascular bundles, and the number of layers of mesophyll palisade tissue cells, etc. Conclusion Plantago asiatica from different populations can be identified through mini-character and microscopic; by comparing the relevant identification features, which can provide a basis for revising and improving the standards of Plantago asiatica.

Objective: To systematically review the modeling strategies, primary outcomes, and quantifiable effects in animal models of transfusion-related acute lung injury (TRALI), transfusion-associated circulatory overload (TACO), acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR), and related transfusion paradigms. Subgroup meta-analysis was designated as the primary analytical framework, with the overall pooled effect treated as exploratory. Methods: We searched PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) from inception to December 30, 2025. Eligible studies utilized animal models to simulate transfusion-related adverse reactions and provided extractable quantitative outcomes. The SYRCLE tool was used to assess the risk of bias. Random-effects models were employed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Prespecified subgroup analyses were conducted for TRALI, TACO, AHTR, and donor sex-related transfusion paradigms. Additional analyses included funnel plots, Egger/Begg tests, leave-one-out sensitivity analyses, and meta-regression based on publication year. Results: Twenty-one studies comprising 24 independent comparisons were included in the quantitative synthesis. The overall pooled estimate was OR=1.07 (95% CI:0.69-1.66), with substantial heterogeneity (I =96%). Subgroup analyses yielded the following estimates: TRALI, OR=0.83 (95%CI:0.57-1.21, I =97%); TACO, OR=1.85 (95%CI:0.54-6.34, I =93%); donor sex-related paradigms, OR=1.49 (95%CI:1.02-2.17, I =85%); and AHTR, OR=0.26 (95%CI:0.10-0.64, I =0%). Between-subgroup differences were statistically significant (P<0.000 1). Publication year was positively correlated with effect size (P=0.001 4). Most studies demonstrated unclear risk of bias across several SYRCLE domains due to incomplete methodological reporting. Conclusion: Animal models of transfusion-related adverse reactions exhibit significant structural heterogeneity across syndrome categories. Therefore, subgroup-specific and narrative syntheses are recommended as the primary presentation framework, rather than relying on a single overall pooled effect. Complement-targeted interventions in AHTR models demonstrated a consistent protective signal. In contrast, TRALI and TACO models require greater standardization in modeling protocols and endpoint definitions to reduce methodological variability.

Background Prehospital emergency medical personnel (PEMP) are exposed to long-term high-pressure work, which can exacerbate psychological distress and impair job satisfaction and sleep quality. However, in-depth research on the interactions among these factors is lacking. Objective To assess the status of psychological distress, job satisfaction, and sleep quality of PEMP in Guangzhou and to explore the mediating role of sleep quality in the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction. Methods From February to May 2025, 1085 PEMP from "120" emergency network hospitals in Guangzhou were selected using convenience sampling. Data were collected via the General Information Questionnaire, Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0, and The mediation model of sleep quality in linking psychological distress and job satisfaction was constructed using AMOS 28.0. The bias-corrected Bootstrap method was employed to assessed the significance of the mediating effect. Results A total of 1063 valid responses were received (97.97% valid response rate). The mean scores were: psychological distress (27.99±10.75), job satisfaction (69.45±15.84), and sleep quality (9.82±4.47). Significant differences in the three scores were found across gender, age, monthly night shift frequency, and hospital grade (P<0.05). Higher job satisfaction was linked to lower psychological distress and better sleep quality and its dimensions, while psychological distress directly correlated with poorer sleep quality (P<0.01). Sleep quality partially mediated the relationship between psychological distress and job satisfaction, with a mediating effect of −0.195, accounting for 43.62% of the total effect. Conclusion The participants report moderate psychological distress, moderate-to-high job satisfaction, and poor sleep quality. Psychological distress directly affects job satisfaction and indirectly through its impact on sleep quality. Interventions aimed at improving sleep health and mental health are essential to improve personnel well-being and work efficiency.

Health economics evidence plays an important role in linking clinical value evidence with health resource allocation decisions in the development of clinical practice guidelines. It can not only effectively balance clinical effectiveness and economic feasibility but also avoid forming "idealized" recommendations that are detached from the affordability of the healthcare system or the burden-bearing capacity of patients. To promote guideline developers to use health economics evidence more standardizedly and fully, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current application status, existing challenges, access channels, and application processes of health economics evidence in current guidelines, and on this basis, puts forward considerations and suggestions for strengthening and standardizing the application of health economics evidence in China's clinical practice guidelines.

Objective To investigate the detection rate of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and influencing factors in the elderly population undergoing physical examination in Nanjing. Methods People who participated in the elderly physical examination in Nanjing from 2018 to 2023 were selected as the study subjects according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Basic information and physical examination results were collected. The t-test and Chi-square test were used to compare the detection status of NAFLD in different characteristic populations, and multivariate logistic regression model was used to analyze influencing factors of NAFLD. Results A total of 41 066 people were included in the study, with a detection rate of 39.55%. The detection rate in males (24.12%) was significantly lower than that in females (49.75%) (χ² = 2702.442, P<0.001). Trend χ² test results showed that the detection rate of NAFLD increased gradually with BMI (χ²_trend = 4084.414, P_trend < 0.001).

Conclusion The detection rate of NAFLD in the elderly population undergoing physical examinations in Nanjing is relatively high. Women, unmarried people, people with low education, overweight and obesity, and people with hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia are the high-risk groups.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent a distinct subpopulation of cells characterized by self-renewal capacity, differentiation potential, and critical roles in driving tumor progression, therapeutic resistance, recurrence, and maintenance of the tumor microenvironment. Targeting CSCs has emerged as a pivotal direction in cancer research, offering novel strategies to overcome drug resistance and prevent metastasis and relapse. Lysosomes, traditionally recognized as central organelles for intracellular degradation and recycling, are indispensable for cellular homeostasis. Dysregulation of lysosomal function is intimately linked to various diseases, including cancer. In tumors, aberrant lysosomal activity can promote malignant progression through mechanisms such as altering metabolic pathways, enhancing lysosomal exocytosis, modulating drug resistance, and interfering with autophagy-lysosomal pathways. Recent studies have underscored the involvement of lysosomes in regulating CSC properties. This review synthesizes findings on lysosomal regulation of CSCs through the following aspects. (1) Lysosomes exert complex and critical bidirectional control over CSC stemness maintenance through three degradation pathways that are dependent on their degradative function. (i) The lysophagy pathway. This pathway exhibits dual roles. Activation can sustain CSC functions; for instance, in glioblastoma, hypoxia upregulates Gal-8 via the STAT3/HIF1α signaling axis to induce autophagy, supporting stem cell survival. In head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, degradation of GSK3β activates the Wnt pathway, enhancing stemness. Conversely, this pathway can suppress stemness by degrading stemness-related proteins such as BMI-1 and OCT4A, thereby impairing CSC self-renewal capacity. (ii) Mitophagy pathway. In non-small cell lung cancer stem cells, mitophagy-related mechanisms, such as the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) activating the TLR9-Notch1-AMPK signaling axis, have been shown to promote CSC proliferation. (iii) Autophagosome-dependent lysosomal degradation pathway. This pathway directly regulates stemness-related proteins in a bidirectional manner. Enhanced degradative function can promote CSC properties, exemplified by the degradation of NUMB to activate Notch signaling. Conversely, attenuated degradative function can also enhance stemness by stabilizing oncoproteins (e.g., protecting Frizzled-1 from degradation to sustain Wnt signaling) or preventing the degradation of tumor suppressors (e.g., inhibiting Notch degradation). (2) Constituent proteins of lysosomes, including membrane proteins and luminal acid hydrolases, participate in regulating CSC stemness. Regarding membrane proteins, LAMP2A facilitates chaperone-mediated autophagy to maintain stemness in glioblastoma and ovarian cancer. V-ATPase, by maintaining an acidic luminal environment, promotes proliferation and drug resistance in glioma stem cells. Among hydrolases, cathepsins B and L are highly expressed in pancreatic and ovarian cancers and correlate with poor prognosis. Furthermore, targeting lysosomes to induce lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) triggers lysosome-mediated cell death, presenting a potential therapeutic strategy for eradicating CSCs.(3) The acidic luminal environment, single-membrane structure, and the presence of transmembrane transporters (e.g., ABCA3) enable lysosomes to passively trap or actively uptake and sequester chemotherapeutic drugs. Subsequent drug extrusion via exocytosis confers drug resistance. In CSCs, this lysosome-mediated drug sequestration, often cooperating with autophagy, establishes multimodal drug resistance. Therefore, targeting lysosomal function represents a potential strategy to overcome therapy resistance. The central role of lysosomes in regulating CSC stemness and resistance positions them as highly promising therapeutic targets. Strategies aimed at disrupting lysosomal function to selectively eliminate CSCs include: inhibiting the lysosome-autophagy system using agents like IITZ or lovastatin; inducing lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) with compounds such as hexamethylene amiloride to compromise membrane stability; and disrupting the acidic luminal environment using drugs like siramesine or the K/H transport compound 2. In conclusion, lysosomes critically regulate CSC stemness maintenance and drug resistance through degradative pathways, membrane protein functions, luminal hydrolase activities, and drug sequestration mechanisms. This redefines the lysosome from a traditional “waste disposal unit” to a “signal integration center” in CSCs. The duality and context-dependency of lysosomal function in CSCs offer novel insights into the heterogeneity observed across different tumors. Targeting lysosomal vulnerabilities—such as inducing LMP, disrupting acidity, or blocking autophagic flux—provides a strategy to bypass canonical CSC resistance mechanisms and directly trigger cell death. This establishes the lysosome as a key target to overcome CSC-mediated therapy resistance, paving the way for developing diverse candidate drugs and innovative combination therapies in oncology.
