ObjectiveTaking classical herbal pair compatibility research as the entry point, this study aimed to deeply investigate the material basis and compatibility rules underlying the antidepressant effects of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula Zhizi Houpotang, and to elucidate its antidepressant mechanism, with a particular focus on its regulation of neuroinflammatory responses mediated by the NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3)/gasdermin D (GSDMD) signaling pathway and the consequent improvement of neuronal synaptic plasticity. MethodsC57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into a blank control group, a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) depression model group, a Zhizi Houpotang full-formula group (6 g·kg-1·d-1), a Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (MOC)-Aurantii Fructus Immaturus (AFI) herbal pair group (4.2 g·kg-1·d-1), a Gardeniae Fructus (GF)-MOC herbal pair group (4.2 g·kg-1·d-1), a GF-AFI herbal pair group (3.6 g·kg-1·d-1), and a positive drug group (fluoxetine, 12 mg·kg-1·d-1). Depressive-like behaviors in mice were evaluated using behavioral tests. Immunofluorescence staining was used to label and quantify the expression of the microglial marker ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Ibal) and the purinergic receptor P2X ligand-gated ion channel 7 (P2RX7) in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was applied to detect the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in serum and PFC tissues. Western blot was employed to determine the expression of pannexin 1 (Panx1), P2RX7, NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), Caspase-1, GSDMD, postsynaptic density protein 95 (PSD95), and the presynaptic protein Synapsin 1 in PFC tissues. Golgi staining was used to assess dendritic spine density of neurons in the PFC. ResultsCompared with the blank control group, the depression model group exhibited significant depressive-like behaviors. In addition, the immunofluorescence areas of Ibal and P2RX7 in the PFC were significantly increased (P<0.01), the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in serum and the PFC were significantly elevated (P<0.01), and the protein expression levels of Panx1, P2RX7, NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, and GSDMD in the PFC were significantly upregulated (P<0.01). In contrast, the protein expression levels of PSD95 and Synapsin 1 were significantly downregulated (P<0.01), and neuronal dendritic spine density was significantly reduced (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the Zhizi Houpotang full-formula group and the GF-MOC herbal pair group showed significant improvement in all the above indicators (P<0.01). The GF-AFI herbal pair group improved all the above indicators except P2RX7, Caspase-1, GSDMD, and PSD95 (P<0.05, P<0.01). In contrast, the MOC-AFI herbal pair group showed no statistically significant improvement in any of the above indicators compared with the model group. ConclusionZhizi Houpotang and its key herbal pair, GF-MOC, can effectively ameliorate CUMS-induced depressive-like behaviors in mice. Its core antidepressant mechanism may involve inhibition of P2RX7/Panx1 signaling, thereby blocking the NLRP3/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis pathway and significantly reducing the release of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β and IL-18. Simultaneously, it upregulates the expression of synapse-related proteins PSD95 and Synapsin 1 and increases dendritic spine density, promoting the recovery of synaptic plasticity. These results suggest that GF plays a key role in the antidepressant effects of this formula, and that the compatibility of GF with MOC may represent the principal herbal pair combination responsible for its core therapeutic action.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological characteristics and immunization history of pertussis cases in Yichang City, Hubei Province from 2018 to 2023. Methods Data on the incidence and immunization history of pertussis cases were collected in Yichang City from 2018 to 2023, and the epidemiological characteristics was analyzed and described. Results A total of 109 cases of pertussis were reported in Yichang from 2018 to 2023, and the annual average reported incidence rate was 0.45/100,000. The incidence rate reported in each year was between 0~1.58/100,000. The area with the highest annual reported incidence rate was Xiling District (1.19/100,000). There was a statistically significant difference in the incidence rate between different years (χ2=208.26, P < 0.001). The annual reported incidence rate showed a significant increasing trend (χ2 trend =125.71, P < 0.001). The ratio of male to female cases was 1.22. There was no significant difference in the annual reported incidence rates between males and females (χ2=0.85, P=0.36). Children aged 3-9 years accounted for 60.55%. Students and scattered children accounted for 45.87% and 36.70%, respectively. Before the onset of the disease, 72.48% had a history of immunization with pertussis-containing vaccine, and 27.52% had no history of immunization. The shortest interval between the last dose of pertussis-containing vaccine and the onset of the disease was 8 days, the longest was 4057 days, and the median was 1882 days. Conclusion From 2018 to 2023, the reported incidence of pertussis in Yichang City has been on the rise, with the majority of cases occurring in children and students under the age of 9. It is recommended to strengthen pertussis disease monitoring.

Chinese Journal of Reproduction and Contraception 2025;45(10):1047-1053
Objective:To evaluate the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on reducing anxiety and promoting rapid postoperative recovery in patients undergoing induced abortion surgery.Methods:Non-randomized controlled trials were adopted, a total of 480 patients scheduled for induced abortion between January 2024 and January 2025 were consecutively enrolled and allocated to the intervention group ( n=240) or control group ( n=240). The control group received conventional education, whereas the intervention group implemented cognitive behavioral therapy on the basis of control group. The Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) were the main observed outcome measures. The anxiety, pain degree 24 h after the intervention, postoperative recovery, postoperative complications and changes in quality of life after the intervention were compared between the two groups of patients. Taking the baseline characteristics of the patients as independent variables and the scores of HAMA, SAS and SF-36 as dependent variables, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted. Results:After the intervention, the scores of HAMA and SAS in the intervention group were 5.76±1.13 and 40.98±3.76 respectively, which were lower than those in control group (7.08±1.42; 46.42±4.14), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The score of the visual analogue scale 24 h after the operation was lower than that in control group (1.64±0.48 vs. 2.83±0.76), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The duration of vaginal bleeding, the time of menstrual resumption and the recovery time of daily activities in the intervention group were all shorter than those in control group [(8.23±2.36) d vs. (10.87±2.16) d; (28.34±3.65) d vs. (33.47±4.18) d; (18.98±5.24) d vs. (25.42±4.16) d], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Six weeks after the operation, the total incidence of complications in the intervention group was 5.0% (12/240), which was lower than that in control group [12.9% (31/240)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.002). After the intervention, the total score of each dimension of SF-36 was higher than that in control group (334.68±5.79 vs. 305.46±5.93), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that higher educational attainment (bachelor's degree and above compared with junior high school and below HAMA β=-0.52, 95% CI: -0.85--0.19, P=0.002; SAS β=-0.75, 95% CI: -1.31--0.19, P=0.008) and higher household income (HAMA β=-0.15, 95% CI: -0.22--0.08, P<0.001; SAS β=-0.18, 95% CI: -0.28--0.08, P<0.001) were protective factors for reducing anxiety levels. Married was the protection factor in SAS scores ( β=-0.68, 95% CI: -1.22--0.14, P=0.013), and higher number of pregnancies was a risk factor for SAS scores ( β=0.19, 95% CI: 0.07-0.31, P=0.002). Age increase was a protective factor for HAMA score ( β=-0.03, 95% CI: -0.05--0.01, P=0.001). Higher educational attainment (junior college: β=3.25, 95% CI: 0.60-5.90, P=0.016; bachelor's degree and above: β=5.02, 95% CI: 2.33-7.71, P<0.001), higher household income ( β=1.25, 95% CI: 0.55-1.95, P<0.001), and married status ( β=2.81, 95% CI:0.28-5.34, P=0.030) were all significant positive predictors of quality of life. Conclusion:Cognitive-behavioral therapy effectively alleviates anxiety, reduces post-operative complications, accelerates recovery, and improves the quality of life in women undergoing induced abortion.

OBJECTIVES:
The Charlson comorbidity index reflects overall comorbidity burden and has been applied in cardiovascular medicine. However, its role in predicting in-hospital mortality in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated by ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remains unclear. This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of the Charlson comorbidity index in this setting and to construct a nomogram model for early risk identification and individualized management to improve outcomes.
METHODS:
Using the open-access critical care database MIMIC-IV (Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV), we identified intensive care unit (ICU) patients diagnosed with AMI complicated by VA. Patients were grouped according to in-hospital survival. The predictive performance of the Charlson comorbidity index and other clinical variables for in-hospital mortality was analyzed. Key predictors were selected using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, followed by multivariable Logistic regression. A nomogram model was constructed based on the regression results. Model performance was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and calibration plots.
RESULTS:
A total of 1 492 patients with AMI and VA were included, of whom 340 died and 1 152 survived during hospitalization. Significant differences were observed between survivors and non-survivors in sex distribution, vital signs, comorbidity burden, organ function, and laboratory parameters (all P<0.05). The area under the curve (AUC) of the Charlson comorbidity index for predicting in-hospital mortality was 0.712 (95% CI 0.681 to 0.742), significantly higher than albumin, international normalized ratio (INR), hemoglobin, body temperature, and platelet count (all P<0.001), but comparable to Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score (P>0.05). LASSO regression identified seven key predictors: the Charlson comorbidity index (quartile groups: T1, <6; T2, ≥6-<7; T3, ≥7-<9; T4, ≥9), ventricular fibrillation, age, systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, body temperature, and SOFA score. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that compared with T1, mortality risk increased significantly in T2 (OR=1.996, 95% CI 1.135 to 3.486, P=0.016), T3 (OR=3.386, 95% CI 2.192 to 5.302, P<0.001), and T4 (OR=5.679, 95% CI 3.711 to 8.842, P<0.001). Age (OR=1.056, P<0.001), respiratory rate (OR=1.069, P<0.001), SOFA score (OR=1.223, P<0.001), and ventricular fibrillation (OR=2.174, P<0.001) were independent risk factors, while systolic blood pressure (OR=0.984, P<0.001) and body temperature (OR=0.648, P<0.001) were protective factors. The nomogram incorporating these predictors achieved an AUC of 0.849 (95% CI 0.826 to 0.871) with high discrimination and good calibration (mean absolute error=0.014).
CONCLUSIONS
The Charlson comorbidity index is an independent predictor of in-hospital mortality in AMI patients complicated by VA, with performance comparable to the SOFA score. The nomogram model based on the Charlson comorbidity index and additional clinical variables effectively estimates mortality risk and provides a valuable reference for clinical decision-making.

OBJECTIVES:
To compare the anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and analgesic effects of Yinqiao Powder (YQS) formulated granules and decoction.
METHODS:
We first evaluated the anti-inflammatory effects of the two dosage forms of YQS in a LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cell model using RT-qPCR and Western blotting. We further constructed zebrafish models of inflammation by copper sulfate exposure, caudal fin transection, or LPS and Poly (I:C) microinjection, and evaluated anti-inflammatory effects of YQS granules and decoction by examining neutrophil aggregation and HE staining findings. In a mouse model of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by intratracheal LPS instillation, the effects of YQS gavage at 10, 15, and 20 g/kg on lung pathologies were evaluated by calculating lung wet-dry weight ratio and using HE staining, ELISA and Western blotting. The microbroth dilution method was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect of YQS. Mouse pain models established by hot plate and intraperitoneal injection of glacial acetic acid were used to evaluate the analgesic effects of YQS at 10, 15, and 20 g/kg.
RESULTS:
Both YQS granules and decoction significantly reduced TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β expressions and p-STAT3 (Tyr 705) phosphorylation level in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells, and obviously inhibited neutrophil aggregation in the zebrafish models. In ALI mice, YQS granules and decoction effectively ameliorated lung injury, lowered lung wet-dry weight ratio, and reduced p-STAT3 (Tyr 705) expression and TNF-α and IL-6 levels. YQS produced obvious antibacterial effect at the doses of 15.63 and 31.25 mg/mL, and significantly reduced body torsion and increased pain threshold in the mouse pain models.
CONCLUSIONS
The two dosage forms of TQS have similar anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and analgesic effects with only differences in their inhibitory effect on TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β mRNA expressions in LPS-induced RAW 264.7 cells.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between postoperative delirium (POD) and concentrations of phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein 1 (PEBP1) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of elderly patients undergoing total knee and hip arthroplasty.Methods:In this case-control study, 375 elderly patients of both sexes, aged ≥65 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective total knee and hip arthroplasty under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia at Haian Hospital Affiliated to Nantong University from November 2022 to June 2024, were selected. The perioperative clinical data were collected. CSF was drawn before anaesthesia for determination of the concentrations of PEBP1, Abeta 42 (Aβ 42), total tau (t-tau) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The occurrence of postoperative delirium was evaluated using the Confusion Assessment Method at 1-7 days after operation. The severity of POD was assessed using a Memorial Delirium Assessment Scale. The patients were divided into POD group and non-POD group based on whether POD occurred. The influencing factors of POD were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression. Mediating effects were assessed to determine whether the levels of Aβ 42, p-tau and t-tau in CSF mediated PEBP1′s effect on POD. The accuracy of CSF PEBP1 concentration in predicting POD was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results:Decreased concentration of Aβ 42 in CSF, decreased ratios of Aβ 42/p-tau and Aβ 42/t-tau in CSF, and increased concentrations of PEBP1, p-tau and t-tau in CSF were independent risk factors for POD ( P<0.05). The results of mediation analysis showed that the relationship between PEBP1 and POD was partially mediated by CSF Aβ 42 (15.0%) and Aβ 42/t-tau ratio (14.9%). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the accuracy of CSF PEBP1 concentrations in predicting the occurrence of POD was high (AUC=0.846, P<0.001). Conclusions:Preoperative elevated CSF PEBP1 concentration is a risk factor for POD. CSF Aβ 42 concentration and Aβ 42/t-tau ratio serve as key mediators in the the association between PEBP1 and POD. PEBP1 concentration is more accurate in predicting POD.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on reducing anxiety and promoting rapid postoperative recovery in patients undergoing induced abortion surgery.Methods:Non-randomized controlled trials were adopted, a total of 480 patients scheduled for induced abortion between January 2024 and January 2025 were consecutively enrolled and allocated to the intervention group ( n=240) or control group ( n=240). The control group received conventional education, whereas the intervention group implemented cognitive behavioral therapy on the basis of control group. The Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA), the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and the 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) were the main observed outcome measures. The anxiety, pain degree 24 h after the intervention, postoperative recovery, postoperative complications and changes in quality of life after the intervention were compared between the two groups of patients. Taking the baseline characteristics of the patients as independent variables and the scores of HAMA, SAS and SF-36 as dependent variables, multiple linear regression analysis was conducted. Results:After the intervention, the scores of HAMA and SAS in the intervention group were 5.76±1.13 and 40.98±3.76 respectively, which were lower than those in control group (7.08±1.42; 46.42±4.14), and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). The score of the visual analogue scale 24 h after the operation was lower than that in control group (1.64±0.48 vs. 2.83±0.76), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). The duration of vaginal bleeding, the time of menstrual resumption and the recovery time of daily activities in the intervention group were all shorter than those in control group [(8.23±2.36) d vs. (10.87±2.16) d; (28.34±3.65) d vs. (33.47±4.18) d; (18.98±5.24) d vs. (25.42±4.16) d], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). Six weeks after the operation, the total incidence of complications in the intervention group was 5.0% (12/240), which was lower than that in control group [12.9% (31/240)], and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.002). After the intervention, the total score of each dimension of SF-36 was higher than that in control group (334.68±5.79 vs. 305.46±5.93), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that higher educational attainment (bachelor's degree and above compared with junior high school and below HAMA β=-0.52, 95% CI: -0.85--0.19, P=0.002; SAS β=-0.75, 95% CI: -1.31--0.19, P=0.008) and higher household income (HAMA β=-0.15, 95% CI: -0.22--0.08, P<0.001; SAS β=-0.18, 95% CI: -0.28--0.08, P<0.001) were protective factors for reducing anxiety levels. Married was the protection factor in SAS scores ( β=-0.68, 95% CI: -1.22--0.14, P=0.013), and higher number of pregnancies was a risk factor for SAS scores ( β=0.19, 95% CI: 0.07-0.31, P=0.002). Age increase was a protective factor for HAMA score ( β=-0.03, 95% CI: -0.05--0.01, P=0.001). Higher educational attainment (junior college: β=3.25, 95% CI: 0.60-5.90, P=0.016; bachelor's degree and above: β=5.02, 95% CI: 2.33-7.71, P<0.001), higher household income ( β=1.25, 95% CI: 0.55-1.95, P<0.001), and married status ( β=2.81, 95% CI:0.28-5.34, P=0.030) were all significant positive predictors of quality of life. Conclusion:Cognitive-behavioral therapy effectively alleviates anxiety, reduces post-operative complications, accelerates recovery, and improves the quality of life in women undergoing induced abortion.
