Objective To verify the radiation shielding effects of a self-developed protective shield for infant bedside X-ray radiography, and measure the dose distribution in the indoor radiation field with and without the shield, and to provide guidance for the radiation protection of infants sharing the room. Methods A MUX-100J mobile medical diagnostic X-ray machine was used as the radiographic device to simulate the exposure conditions of infant bedside X-ray radiography. The ambient dose equivalent rates at measurement points in eight directions on the irradiation plane in the indoor radiation field were measured with and without the protective shield using an AT1121 X/γ dose rate meter under the conventional condition of 56 kV and the maximum single exposure time. Results During infant bedside X-ray radiography, the dose levels in all directions on the irradiation plane within 150 cm from the scatterer center were essentially symmetrically distributed. The ambient dose equivalent rate at 100 cm from the scatterer center on the irradiation plane was (8.01-8.28)×10³ μSv/h without the protective shield and 48-84 μSv/h with the shield. At various distances from the scatterer center in all directions on the irradiation plane, the doses measured with the protective shield ranged from 0.34% to 14.12% of those measured without the shield, with an average of 1.85%. Conclusion The dose levels in the indoor radiation field were significantly reduced with the protective shield during infant bedside X-ray radiography. The use of the protective shield can effectively reduce the radiation risk for individuals near the radiographic site within the same room.

Farrerol is a dihydroflavone compound extracted from the dried leaves of Rhododendron dauricum belonging to the Ericaceae family. This article systematically reviews relevant research on farrerol both domestically and internationally， summarizes its pharmacological activities and mechanisms of action， and finds that it exerts cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effects by maintaining the homeostasis of vascular endothelial function and inhibiting vascular intimal hyperplasia； exerts renal protective effects by activating the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2） signaling pathway to reduce renal damage； exerts liver protective effects by inhibiting the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signaling pathway， activating the Nrf2 signaling pathway， improving insulin resistance， and reducing lipid deposition in the liver； exerts neuroprotective effects by activating the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway， inhibiting the Toll-like receptor 4 and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase/stimulator of interferon genes signaling pathways to reduce neuroinflammatory damage； exerts bone protective effects by promoting tendon formation and inhibiting osteoclast differentiation； exerts antitumor effects by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and weakening tumor cell invasion and metastasis； and exerts antibacterial effects by downregulating α -toxin expression， interfering with β -lactamase/penicillin-binding protein 2a （PBP2a）， and inhibiting PBP2a oligomerization. Currently， research on the pharmacological effects of farrerol is still mainly focused on animal and cell experiments. Further mechanistic studies and clinical trials are needed to provide theoretical basis for its new drug development and clinical application.

Lipid metabolism reprogramming is a metabolic hallmark of hepatocellular carcinoma （HCC） initiation and progression. It encompasses aberrant activation of de novo lipogenesis （DNL）， remodeling of the membrane phospholipid polyunsaturated fatty acid （PUFA）/monounsaturated fatty acid （MUFA） ratio， upregulation of the mevalonate （MVA） pathway， and compensatory activation of subcellular antioxidant networks. Together with liver-specific dysregulation of iron homeostasis， these alterations shape a dual metabolic landscape in which ferroptosis susceptibility and resistance coexist， thereby driving malignant progression and therapeutic tolerance. In traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， the core pathogenesis of HCC is conceptualized as the interplay of dampness， heat， stasis， toxin， and deficiency， which is intrinsically consistent at the biological level with the aforementioned lipid accumulation， redox imbalance， and disordered iron metabolism. According to the three therapeutic principles of clearing heat， detoxifying， and resolving dampness， activating blood to dispel stasis and counteract toxins， and reinforcing healthy Qi to consolidate the root， this review systematically delineates the molecular mechanisms by which the active components of traditional Chinese medicine modulate the lipid-ferroptosis network. Active components including berberine， tanshinone Ⅱ_A， and ginsenosides cooperatively induce ferroptosis in HCC by disrupting the cystine/glutamate antiporter-glutathione-glutathione peroxidase 4 （System Xc^-/GSH/GPX4） antioxidant axis， upregulating long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 （ACSL4） to promote PUFA-containing membrane lipid peroxidation， perturbing nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （NRF2/KEAP1） and protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase/activating transcription factor 4 （PERK/ATF4） signaling pathways， and disrupting ferritin homeostasis. On this basis， the review evaluates the translational prospects of these components in reversing tyrosine kinase inhibitor （TKI） resistance， sensitizing immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy， and enabling nanocarrier-mediated delivery， with the aim of providing a pharmacological basis for the development of TCM candidate agents targeting the lipid-ferroptosis axis and for the optimization of therapeutic strategies integrating Chinese and Western medicine.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of healthy side tilt training on balance function in patients with Pusher syndrome (PS) after stroke. MethodsFrom February, 2021 to November, 2023, 40 patients with PS after stroke in People's Hospital of Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture were selected. They were divided into control group (n = 20) and experimental group (n = 20) in accordance with the order of the patients' admission. The control group received comprehensive training for paralyzed limbs combined with sitting balance training, and the experimental group received comprehensive training for paralyzed limbs combined with healthy side tilt training, for three weeks. They were assessed with Burke Lateropulsion Scale (BLS), Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Balance (FMA-B) and modified Barthel Index (MBI) before and after treatment. ResultsAfter treatment, BLS score significantly decreased in both groups (t > 12.603, P < 0.001), and was lower in the experimental group than in the control group (t = -2.559, P < 0.05). The scores of FMA-B and MBI were significantly increased in both groups (|Z| > 3.941, |t| > 12.082, P < 0.001), and FMA-B score was higher in experimental group than in the control group (Z = -2.538, P < 0.05). ConclusionComprehensive training for paralyzed limbs combined with healthy side tilt training can effectively improve the balance function and postural control of patients with PS after stroke, and improve the activities of daily living.

Ovarian cancer （OC） is one of the most common malignant tumors in women， with the mortality rate being the highest among gynaecological malignant tumors. As the atypical symptoms of OC are difficult to be detected in the early stage， most patients are already in the advanced stage when being diagnosed. As a result， the clinical treatment has limited effects. Currently， the main therapies for OC are surgery and chemotherapy， while their drug resistance and adverse reactions seriously reduce the quality of life of patients. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has attracted the attention of clinicians and researchers because of its high efficacy， low toxicity， and mild side effects. According to the TCM philosophy of treatment based on syndrome differentiation， the Chinese medicines with multiple targets， wide range， and mild side effects can be screened based on the molecular targets involved in the occurrence and development of OC， which can bring out the unique advantages of TCM in the treatment of OC. Modern studies have shown that the occurrence and development of OC are closely related to the abnormal expression of multiple signaling pathways. The continued abnormal activation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） signaling pathway can lead to abnormal proliferation and malignancy of OC. cause abnormal proliferation and malignant transformation of OC， which is closely related to the development of OC. In addition， studies have shown that Chinese medicine can inhibit the proliferation， angiogenesis， invasion， and metastasis and promote the autophagy and apoptosis of OC cells by regulating the Janus kinase 2 （JAK2）/STAT3 signaling pathway， providing new therapeutic strategies and ideas for the prevention and treatment of OC. This paper summarizes the role of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in OC development by reviewing the relevant articles and reviews the mechanism and research progress of active components and compound prescriptions of Chinese medicine intervening in OC development by regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. This review is expected to provide a systematic reference for clinical research and drug development of OC.

Monotropein is a compound classified into iridoid which is found in herbaceous plants Morindae officinalis. It possesses anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-osteoarthritic activities. Previous study indicates that monotropein may have the potential to combat cardiovascular disease, although the related mechanism remains unclear. In this study, we constructed the model of atherosclerosis by oxidized low density lipoprotein-induced vascular smooth muscle cells and LDLR –/–mice given high-fat diet to investigate the effects of monotropein on atherosclerosis.Our results showed that monotropein treatment significantly reduced the area of atherosclerotic plaques and necrotic cores in mice, inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells, and reduced inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, which in turn alleviated atherosclerosis. In addition, we found that monotropein reduced the expression levels of P-NF-κB and P-AP-1. In conclusion, our data suggest that monotropein inhibited the proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells by mediating the activity of NF-κB, AP-1, reducing the level of inflammation and oxidative stress, and thus resisting the development of atherosclerosis. These findings demonstrate the efficacious therapeutic impact of monotropein on atherosclerosis and elucidate its specific target.

The quality of graduation theses is one of the important indicators for measuring the training quality of eight-year program of clinical medicine.Various pilot eight-year curriculums in medical schools have made great ef-forts in their education remodeling in order to strengthen students'research capabilities and to optimize thesis quality.As medical education enters an accelerating phase of innovative reformation and development,the quality control and improvement of graduation theses in eight?year programs still faces several challenges,such as the decoupling of sam?pling standards from classified training,unclear thesis positioning and objectives,teacher?centered training models,unshaped evaluation criteria and reliance on external quality control.Based on an outcomes?based education(OBE)concept,reformation in training as well as management of graduation thesis should focus on learning outcomes and goals,clarify thesis positioning and teaching objectives,adopt diversified teaching models,establish an evaluation system based on learning outcomes,and improve a supportive quality assurance system.These measures aim to pro?mote the in?depth implementation of reforms in graduation thesis teaching and further enhance the comprehensive the?sis abilities and quality of eight?year medical students.
