ObjectiveTo explore the effects of angle and original moisture content on the moisture distribution， migration and contents of effective components in the drying process of sliced Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma（SMRR）. MethodsSet the slicing angles of SMRR at 30°， 45°， and 90°. Cut the fresh samples， 1/3 dehydrated samples， and 2/3 dehydrated samples， dry them in an oven at 40 ℃ and take samples at the set time points. Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance（LF-NMR） and magnetic resonance imaging（MRI） were used to analyze the changes in transverse relaxation time（T₂） of SMRR samples in 9 treatment groups at specific times， as well as the distribution and migration of water in the samples. The contents of tanshinone Ⅱ_A， tanshinone Ⅰ， cryptotanshinone， and salvianolic acid B in samples from 9 different treatment groups were determined by high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC）， and the best processing technology of SMRR was screened by combining with One-way ANOVA， Duncan multiple comparison and principal component analysis（PCA）. ResultsThe moisture content of dry basis of SMRR in each treatment group decreased with the extension of drying time. The drying rate of fresh cut group decreased slowly at first， while the drying rate of water loss group showed a trend of increasing at first and then decreasing. The internal water of SMRR could be divided into three states， including bound water， non flowing water and free water. During the drying process， the water migration law showed that the free water of fresh cut group disappeared after drying for 12 h， the content of bound water gradually decreased， and the overall fluidity deteriorated. In the water loss group， part of the free water was transformed into more cohesive and non flowing water after drying for 3 h， and the three kinds of water basically disappeared after drying for 12 h. The MRI results showed that the entire dehydration process slowly moved from the outer side to the center， and the internal water eventually dissipated. In terms of the contents of active ingredients， the order of the effect of slicing angle on the total content of active ingredients in SMRR was 30°>45°>90°. The content of tanshinones was ranked as 1/3 dehydrated group>2/3 dehydrated group>fresh cut group， and the content of salvianolic acid B was ranked as 1/3 dehydrated group>fresh cut group>2/3 dehydrated group. Combined with the results of PCA and comprehensive scoring results， the overall level of effective component content in SMRR was the highest when cut at 30° after 1/3 of water loss. ConclusionAfter comprehensive evaluation， SMRR can be sliced at 30° after 1/3 of water loss. It is not only easy to cut， but also the surface and cross-sectional colors remain basically unchanged after drying， which is similar to the color under traditional processing， and the effective ingredients are preserved the highest. This study can provide a basis for the optimization of processing technology of SMRR.

Objective To assess the situation and influencing factors of occupational burnout among the staff at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Sichuan Province. Methods A total of 1 038 CDC staff members in Sichuan Province were selected as the study subjects using the stratified random sampling method. Occupational burnout of the staff was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey via an online questionnaire. Results The detection rate of occupational burnout was 42.3% (439/1 038). Binary logistic regression analysis result showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as education level and alcohol consumption, CDC staffs aged at 20-<31, 31-<41, and 41-<51 years were at higher risk of occupational burnout compared with those ≥51 years (all P<0.05). CDC staffs with 5-<10 or ≥10 years of service had higher occupational burnout risk compared with those with <5 years (both P<0.05). CDC staffs with poor or fair health status, irregular diet, and poor sleep quality had higher risk of occupational burnout compared with those healthy, have regular diet, and good sleep quality (all P<0.05). The risk of occupational burnout increased with higher overtime frequency (all P<0.05). Conclusion Occupational burnout among CDC staffs in Sichuan Province is relatively high. Age, years of service, health status, diet, sleep quality, and overtime frequency are key influencing factors.

Objective:To investigate the relationship and clinical significance of circulating tu-mor DNA(ctDNA)methylation with postoperative recurrence of thyroid cancer.Method:5 pa-tients with recurrent thyroid cancer in our hospital from March 2021 to April 2022 were selected as the observation group,and 2 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group.The level of ctDNA methylation in peripheral blood of the two groups was detected by Illumina high-throughput sequencing system.Gene ontology(GO)function analysis and Kyoto gene and genome encyclope-dia(KEGG)signal pathway analysis were carried out on the methylation region genes with signifi-cant differences through the DAVID gene function analysis platform.Result:There were 7787 dif-ferential ctDNA methylation sites between the two groups.2914(37.4％)were hypermethylation sites and 4873(62.6％)were low methylation sites.GO functional analysis showed that differentially methylated genes were enriched in molecular functions such as DNA-binding transcriptional acti-vation,cell-substrate adhesion,glycoprotein complex and other cellular components.KEGG path-way analysis showed that differentially methylated genes were enriched in thyroid carcinoma signal pathway,cell adhesion molecules,RAP1 signal pathway,RAS signal pathway,MAPK signal path-way and so on.Conclusion:ctDNA methylation may be involved in cancer recurrence in postop-erative patients with thyroid cancer.Monitoring the level of ctDNA methylation in peripheral blood may be an effective method to indicate the recurrence or metastasis of thyroid cancer and guide clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To investigate the mechanism of downregulated programmed cell death 10 ( PDCD10) expression mediating glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) resistance to temozolomide (TMZ). Methods:U87, LN229 and T98g cell lines were transfected with PDCD10 small interfering RNA or negative small interfering RNA. TMZ-resistant cell lines were constructed using 300 μmol/L TMZ (transfected T98g cell line) and 150 μmol/L TMZ (transfected U87 and LN229 cell lines), respectively: TMZ-resistant U87 cell line transfected with PDCD10 small interfering RNA (shPDCD10-U87-RG cells), TMZ-resistant U87 cell line transfected with negative small interfering RNA (EV-U87-RG cells), shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells, EV-T98g-RG cells, shPDCD10-LN229-RG cells and EV-LN229-RG cells. Flow cytometry and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) were used to detect the transfection efficiency of TMZ-resistant cell lines and PDCD10 expressions; MTT assay and colony formation assay were used to verify the drug-resistant ability of TMZ-resistant cell lines. Bioinformatics analysis was performed to detect the correlations of PDCD10 with key genes ( MSH6 and PMS2) in mismatch repair (MMR) system, and drug resistant mechanism was explored by detecting the cell cycle and neurosphere formation ability of drug-resistant cells. Results:(1) qRT-PCR showed that compared with that in EV-U87-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-U87-RG cells was statistically down-regulated by (32.85±1.14)% ( t=2.925, P=0.049); compared with that in EV-T98g-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells was significantly down-regulated by (57.17±1.81)% ( t=3.179, P=0.043); compared with that in EV-LN229-RG cells, the PDCD10 expression in shPDCD10-LN229-RG cells was significantly down-regulated by (33.68±1.34)% ( t=3.085, P=0.045). (2) MTT assay showed that compared with the EV-U87-RG cells, the shPDCD10-U87-RG cells had significantly increased viability ( P<0.05); compared with the EV-T98g-RG cells, the shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells had significantly increased viability ( P<0.05). Among the same kind of cells, the viability 3 d after wash-out was significantly increased compared with that at 72 h after TMZ treatment ( P<0.05). Colony formation assay showed that cell lines with down-regulated PDCD10 expression had higher tumorigenic ability. (3) Compared with EV-U87-RG cells and EV-T98g-RG cells, cells with down-regulated PDCD10 expression (shPDCD10-U87-RG cells and shPDCD10-T98g-RG cells) escaped from TMZ-induced G2/M arrest, resulting in TMZ resistance. (4) Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the PDCD10 expression was positively correlated with MSH6 and PMS2 expressions ( r=0.262, P<0.001; r=0.327, P<0.001); qRT-PCR indicated that downregulated PDCD10 expression caused decreased MSH6 and PMS2 expressions, which disrupted the MMR system. (5) Compared with that by EV-U87 cells, number of neurospheres formed by shPDCD10-U87 cells was significantly increased ( P<0.05); compared with that by EV-U87-RG cells, number of neurospheres formed by shPDCD10-U87-RG cells was significantly increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PDCD10 affects the therapeutic sensitivity of GBM to TMZ by arresting cell cycle, disrupting MMR system, and increasing cell stemness.

Eclipta prostrata L.has been used in traditional medicine and known for its liver-protective properties for centuries.Wedelolactone(WEL)and demethylwedelolactone(DWEL)are the major coumarins found in E.prostrata L.However,the comprehensive characterization of these two compounds on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)still remains to be explored.Utilizing a well-established zebrafish model of thioacetamide(TAA)-induced liver injury,the present study sought to investigate the impacts and mechanisms of WEL and DWEL on NAFLD through integrative spatial metabolomics with liver-specific transcriptomics analysis.Our results showed that WEL and DWEL significantly improved liver function and reduced the accumulation of fat in the liver.The biodistributions and metabolism of these two compounds in whole-body zebrafish were successfully mapped,and the discriminatory endogenous metabolites reversely regulated by WEL and DWEL treatments were also characterized.Based on spatial metabolomics and transcriptomics,we identified that steroid biosynthesis and fatty acid metabolism are mainly involved in the hepatoprotective effects of WEL instead of DWEL.Our study unveils the distinct mechanism of WEL and DWEL in ameliorating NAFLD,and presents a"multi-omics"platform of spatial metabolomics and liver-specific transcriptomics to develop highly effective compounds for further improved therapy.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.
