Objective: To explore the relationship of screen time and sleep duration with screening myopia among junior and senior high school students, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and control of myopia among students. Methods: From March to October 2024, 429 junior and senior high school students from a district of Guangzhou were selected using stratified cluster random sampling method. Standardized logarithmic visual acuity chart was used for vision assessment, while Questionnaire for the Physical Health Monitoring System of Students in Guangzhou was employed to collect students screen time and sleep duration. The Chi square test was used to compare differences across different groups, and binary Logistic regression analysis was employed to analyze the association of screen time and sleep duration with screening myopia. Results: The overall prevalence of screening myopia was 79.5%, with significant differences across educational stage, sex, screen time and sleep duration groups( χ 2=41.64, 9.75, 23.89 , 8.17, all P <0.05).Binary Logistic regression analysis revealed that, compared to the high screen time & insufficient sleep group, the low screen & sufficient sleep group ( OR=0.25, 95%CI =0.09-0.68), the low screen & insufficient sleep group ( OR= 0.27 , 95%CI =0.13-0.56), and the high screen & sufficient sleep group ( OR=0.26, 95%CI =0.10-0.70) exhibited significantly lower screening myopia risks (all P <0.05). After adjusting for sex and educational stage, low screen time & insufficient sleep was significantly associated with screening myopia ( OR=0.48, 95%CI =0.23-0.98); the multiplicative interaction term was statistically significant ( OR=0.99,95%CI =0.98-1.00)(both P <0.05). Conclusion The interaction effect between screen time and sleep duration in relation to screening myopia suggests a need to focus on daily routines and screen use habits among junior and senior high school students for ensuring sufficient sleep and limiting screen exposure.

Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China， and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities， cognitive impairment， depression， stroke-associated pneumonia， and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang （XLCQT） is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically， XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However， the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally， since the basic research is weak， the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis， medicinal properties， safety evaluation， and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients， resveratrol， kaempferol， luteolin， chrysoeriol， apigenin， （+）-catechin， and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex， including inflammatory response， brain-gut axis， hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis， intestinal flora， neurotrophic factors， autophagy， oxidative stress， and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

The integrated medical and elderly care model is a new type of elderly care model designed to address the demands of the elderly in terms of physical health， daily care， and spiritual comfort. It has significant practical significance for actively responding to the problems of population aging. However， this model still faces a series of ethical dilemmas in practical. By analyzing the ethical issues that may arise during the integration of medical and elderly care services， including conflicts between medical care and elderly autonomy， the challenges faced by informed consent， conflicts of interest between medical and elderly care services， and blurred boundaries between family care and social care， this paper proposed corresponding strategies， such as improving the construction of personalized care mechanisms， optimizing multi-level protection systems for informed consent， establishing a unified interest coordination mechanism and resource sharing platform， and strengthening the synergy between family support and social care. These strategies aimed to promote the healthy development of the integrated medical and elderly care model， ensure the protection of the basic rights and interests and well-being of the elderly to the greatest extent， and ultimately achieve a fairer and more sustainable aging social governance system.

Stroke is the main cause of death and disability among adults in China and is characterized by high incidence， disability， mortality， and recurrence rates. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating stroke and its sequelae. The classic traditional Chinese medicine prescription Da Chengqitang （DCQT） has a long history and proven efficacy in treating stroke. Clinically， DCQT is often used to treat stroke and its sequelae. However， the number and quality of clinical trials of DCQT in treating stroke need to be improved. Because of the insufficient basic research， the active ingredients and multi-target mechanism of action of DCQT remain unclear. Our research group has previously confirmed that DCQT can effectively reverse neurological damage， reduce iron deposition， and downregulate the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the rat model of hemorrhagic stroke. The treatment mechanism is related to the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）-mediated signaling pathway and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK） signaling-mediated microglia activation. To clarify the pharmacodynamic basis and anti-stroke mechanism of DCQT， this article reviews the research progress in the treatment of stroke with DCQT in terms of clinical trials， pharmacodynamic material basis， safety evaluation， and mechanisms of absorbed components. This article summarizes 45 major phytochemical components of DCQT， 11 of which are currently confirmed absorbed components. Among them， emodin， rhein， chrysophanol， aloe-emodin， synephrine， hesperidin， naringin， magnolol， and honokiol can be used as quality markers （Q-markers） of DCQT. The mechanism of DCQT in treating stroke is complex， involving regulation of inflammatory responses， neuronal damage， oxidative stress， blood-brain barrier， brain-derived neurotrophic factor， and anti-platelet aggregation. This article helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanism of DCQT in treating stroke and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of DCQT in treating stroke and the development of stroke drugs.

ObjectiveTo explore the spatial distribution patterns of flavonoid glycosides in Epimedium sagittatum and the influences of environmental factors on the accumulation of these components. MethodsThe spatial statistical analysis and GeoDetector model were used to analyze the distribution patterns of epimedin A，epimedin B，epimedin C，icariin，and total flavonoid glycosides in E. sagittatum samples from 92 different production areas in 36 cities of 13 provinces/municipalities/autonomous regions of China，as well as the effects of 28 environmental factors on the accumulation of each component. ResultsThe average content of flavonoid glycosides 64 （69.56%） producing areas and 30 （83.33%） cities met the quality standard of no less than 1.50% of total flavonoid glycosides in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.Epimedin A，epimedin B，epimedin C，icariin，and their sum showed significantly high accumulation.The hot spots regions of epimedin A and epimedin B were similar with each other，mainly located in western Hunan，eastern Hubei，eastern Guizhou，and northern Guangxi.The common hot spot areas of epimedin C and total flavonoid glycosides were in western and southwestern Hunan，southern Henan，northern Anhui，eastern Guizhou，and southern Chongqing.The hot spots areas of icariin were in southern Chongqing，western Hunan，and eastern and northeastern Guizhou.The interactions between environmental factors had stronger explanatory power for the accumulation of components than single factors.The strongest single factor and interactive factor affecting the accumulation of epimedin C were precipitation of wettest quarter （q=0.16） and its interaction with temperature seasonality （q=0.35），respectively.The strongest single factor influencing both the accumulation of icariin and total flavonoid glycosides was the precipitation of coldest quarter （q equals 0.15 and 0.22，respectively）.The strongest interactions were observed between precipitation of coldest quarter and gravel content （q=0.34），as well as between precipitation of coldest quarter and aspect （q=0.35）. ConclusionThirteen cities，including Zhumadian and Nanyang in Henan，Huaihua，Shaoyang，and Zhangjiajie in Hunan，and Zunyi，Qiandongnan，and Tongren in Guizhou，were hot spots of total flavonoid glycosides in E.sagittatum.Precipitation，gravel content，temperature seasonality，and aspect significantly influence the accumulation of flavonoid glycosides in E.sagittatum.This study provides reference for the utilization and production zoning of E.sagittatum.

OBJECTIVES: To explore the therapeutic mechanism of compound Centella asiatica formula (CCA) for alleviating Schistosoma japonicum (Sj)-induced liver fibrosis in mice. METHODS: The active components and targets of CCA were identified using the TCMSP database with cross-analysis of Sj-related liver fibrosis targets. A "drug-component-target-pathway-disease" network was constructed using Cytoscape 3.9.1. Functional enrichment analysis (GO/KEGG) was performed using DAVID. Molecular docking study was carried out to validate interactions between the core targets and the key compounds. For experimental validation of the results, 36 mice were divided into control group, Sj-infected model group, and CCA-treated groups. In the latter two groups, liver fibrosis was induced via abdominal infection with Sj cercariae for 8 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of daily treatment with CCA decoction or saline. Hepatic pathology of the mice was assessedwith HE and Masson staining, and hepatic expressions of collagen-I and collagen-III were detected using immunohistochemistry; serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels were determined with ELISA. Hepatic expressions of TLR4 and MyD88 proteins were analyzed with Western blotting. RESULTS: We identified a total of 107 bioactive CCA components and 791 targets, including 37 intersection targets linked to Sj-induced fibrosis. The core targets included TNF, TP53, JUN, MMP9, and CXCL8, involving the IL-17 signaling, lipid metabolism, TLR4/MyD88 axis, and cancer pathways. Molecular docking study confirmed strong binding affinity between quercetin (a primary CCA component) and TNF/TP53/JUN/MMP9. In Sj-infected mouse models, CCA treatment significantly attenuated hepatic inflammatory cell infiltration, reduced collagen-I and collagen-III deposition, improved tissue architecture, reduced serum IL-6 and TNF-α levels, and downregulated TLR4 and MyD88 expressions in the liver. CONCLUSIONS CCA mitigates Sj-induced liver fibrosis by targeting TNF, TP53, JUN, and MMP9 to modulate the TLR4/MyD88 pathway, thereby suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokine release, inhibiting hepatic stellate cell activation, reducing collagen deposition, and preventing granuloma formation in the liver.

OBJECTIVE: Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizoma (Hongjingtian in Chinese, RCRR), the roots and rhizomes of Rhodiola crenulata and its application in the medicinal market is very chaotic. In this study, DNA barcoding database and identification engine of Rhodiola species were established, decoction pieces from the medicinal market were identified, and the application and challenges of DNA barcoding in the rapid radiation of Rhodiola species were analyzed. This study provides reference for the protection, rational development, and utilization of endangered resources within Rhodiola species. METHODS: A total of 50 original plant samples from 20 species of the genus Rhodiola from Hebei, Xinjiang, Tibet, Jilin, and other major production areas were collected. Theses samples cover the typical distribution area (Qinghai-Tibetan Platea) of Rhodiola species and other scattered alpine regions (Changbai Mountain, Taibai Mountain, Lushan Mountain, etc.), it encompasses all Rhodiola species with thick rhizomes in China. ITS2 and psbA-trnH barcode of Rhodiola database (BORD) were established and an identification engine named Rhodiola-IDE was developed. The stability and accuracy of the standard DNA barcoding database were evaluated using two datasets. Rhodiola-IDE identified 31 decoction pieces of RCRR from the medicinal material market. RESULTS: The BORD containing 1 532 sequences of 88 Rhodiola species has been established, and the identification efficiency results showed good accuracy and stability. According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2020 edition), 23 samples (74.2%) were identified as authentic R. crenulata, while the rest of the marketed varieties were R. kirilowii, R. dumulosa, and R. fastigiata. The product label "Larger flower, Hongjingtian" was identified as R. crenulata. Samples labeled as "Smaller flower, Hongjingtian" were identified as R. crenulata, R. kirilowii, and R. fastigiata. CONCLUSION ITS2 and psbA-trnH barcodes can identify monophyletic groups represented by R. crenulata. However, for non-monophyletic species, it is necessary to collect as many samples as possible and combine them with multiple markers for joint identification. This study discussed the application and challenges of DNA barcodes in Rhodiola under rapid radiation conditions, providing a scientific basis for the rational development and utilization of Rhodiola varieties.

Various degrees of post-infection symptoms after novel coronavirus infection are called long COVID or post COVID-19 syndrome.Some of the patients with long COVID syndrome exhibit the symptoms of spontaneous sweating,fatigue and weakness,palpitation and shortness of breath.Following the theory of six-meridian syndrome differentiation and the clinical principle of prescriptions corresponding to syndromes,Professor Li Saimei differentiated the spontaneous sweating of patients with long COVID into four main types,namely spontaneous sweating due to disharmony between taiyang nutritive qi and defensive qi,spontaneous sweating due to Yangming damp-heat,spontaneous sweating due to taiyin cold-damp,and spontaneous sweating due to jueyin blood deficiency,which can be treated with Guizhi Decoction,Gegen Qinlian Decoction,Fuzi Lizhong Decoction,and Danggui Sini Decoction plus Erzhi Pills,respectively.In the view of Professor Li Saimei,spontaneous sweating in patients with long COVID may result from disharmony between nutritive qi and defensive qi,or from damp-heat pathogen,or from cold-damp pathogen,or from deficiency of qi and blood.Therefore,the therapies for spontaneous sweating should be focused on harmonizing nutritive qi and defensive qi,drying dampness and eliminating pathogens,warming meridians and nourishing blood.Moreover,protecting the heart-yin and heart-yang should be taken into account,and herbal medicines with the actions of activating heart-yang and replenishing heart-yin and herbs for tranquilizing and alleviating palpitation can be selected in clinic.

Objective To investigate the effect of different intraoperative oxygen concentrations on myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery(MINS)in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing laparoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 76 patients with coronary heart disease scheduled for laparoscopic surgery between January and December 2024 were randomly assigned to group L(FiO2=0.3,n=39)or group H(FiO2=0.8,n=37).In the group L,if intraoperative oxygen saturation fell below 92%,FiO2 was increased incrementally by0.03-0.1 as required.MINS was defined as postoperative high-sensitivity troponin T(hs-TnT)levels>65 ng/L,or 20 ng/L0.05).Conclusion Maintaining a lower intraoperative oxygen concentration(FiO2=0.3)in patients with coronary heart disease undergoing laparoscopic surgery reduces early postoperative myocardial injury markers and may help mitigate MINS.
