The thought of medicine and food homology and substances with both edible and medicinal values are an important part of China's excellent traditional culture and medicine treasure, playing an important role in human diet and health maintenance for thousands of years. Substances with both edible and medicinal values are a standardized name governed by existing regulations, and many substances with both edible and medicinal values in the list lack important information such as original plants and edible and medicinal parts. Some substances change as the relevant regulations change, which confuses the use and regulation. According to the definition and inclusion conditions of substances with both edible and medicinal values in the Regulation of Substances with Both Edible and Medicinal Values Catalogue, this paper comprehensively reviewed the first batch of 87 substances with both edible and medicinal values published in 2002 by collecting information and investigating the practical application. Some substances supplemented, deleted, and revised were analyzed and discussed, and a complete revised list was compiled, encompassing a total of 90 substances, which were when combined with the 19 substances of the last three batches(published in 2019, 2023, and 2024), amounted to a total of 109 substances. In addition, the substances not currently in the published list but have both edible and medicinal values according to the latest definition were summarized, which revealed at least 27 other substances. Therefore, there were at least 136 substances with both edible and medicinal values. Additionally, the potential substances that could be included in the list of substances with edible and medicinal values were prospected, providing a focus for future expansion of the list. This paper systematically reviewed and revised the list of substances with both edible and medicinal values to lay a foundation for the regulatory authorities to revise the catalog of these substances and provide basic information for promoting the new quality productive forces in the health field and boosting the orderly and rapid development of the big health industry.

Objective:To investigate the association of systemic immune-inflammation index(SII)and serum cysta-tin C(CysC)with the severity of acute pulmonary embolism(APE),and their predictive value for prognosis.Meth-ods:A total of 181 patients who were first diagnosed with APE in Cangzhou People's Hospital between January 2018 and January 2023 were retrospectively selected.The severity of APE was determined according to risk stratification criteria for pulmonary embolism,and the patients were divided into low-risk group(n=67),middle-risk group(n=81)and high-risk group(n=33).General clinical data and venous blood neutrophils,platelet and lymphocyte counts,CysC and other indicators were collected,and SII was calculated according to the formula.The relevant in-dicators were compared among three groups,and their correlation with the severity of APE was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.According to the prognosis,all APE patients were divided into favorable outcome group(n=129)and unfavorable outcome group(n=52).The general clinical data were compared and multivariate Cox regression analysis was used to study the influencing factors of unfavorable outcome in APE patients.The re-ceiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of SII,CysC and their com-bination for the prognosis of APE patients.Nomogram model for prognosis was constructed.Results:Compared with patients in low-risk group,those in the middle-risk group and the high-risk group had significantly higher levels of serum creatinine,CysC and uric acid(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).The SII in the high-risk group was significant-ly higher than those of middle-risk group and low-risk group(P＜0.001 all).Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum creatinine,CysC,uric acid and SII were significant positively correlated with the severity of APE(r=0.356,0.358,0.233,0.353,P＜0.01 all).Compared with patients in the favorable outcome group,those in the unfavorable outcome group had significantly higher levels of D-dimer,serum creatinine,CysC,uric acid and SII(P＜0.01 all).There was a statistically significant difference in the severity of APE between the two groups(P=0.001).Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that CysC,SII,and middle or high risk of disease severity were independent risk factors for unfavorable outcome in APE patients(HR=1.001～14.453,P＜0.05 or＜0.01).ROC curve indicated that the AUC of SII,CysC and their combination in predicting unfavorable outcome of APE patients were 0.815(95％CI 0.749～0.881),0.747(95％CI 0.661～0.832)and 0.878(95％CI,0.821～0.936),respectively.The combined AUC of the two was significantly higher than those of SII and CysC alone(Z=-2.234,-3.500,P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Based on the above independent risk factors,the AUC values of the 1-year and 3-year unfavorable outcome nomogram models were 92.9 and 88.2,respectively.The calibration prediction curve and the ideal curve fitted well.The decision curve showed that the model had a good net benefit.Conclusion:SII and CysC are significant positively correlated with the severity of APE and they are independent risk factors for unfavor-able outcome of APE,and the combination of the two indicators has a good predictive value for the prognosis of APE.The nomogram constructed has good accuracy and practicability.

This study analyzed the epidemiological characteristics of imported malaria in Yunnan Province from 2020 to 2023,to provide scientific evidence for formulating measures to decrease imported malaria and prevent re-establishment of malaria transmission.Malaria data reported by the China Disease Prevention and Control Information System were analyzed to determine parasite species;sources of infection;temporal,spatial,and population distributions;and importation routes.A total of 828 malaria cases were reported in the province.Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum accounted for 89.98％and 8.33％of cases,respectively.A total of 47.58％of cases were imported from Myanmar,and all P.falciparum malaria ca-ses were from Africa.Thirteen(81.25％)prefectures or municipalities reported malaria,among which Dehong,Baoshan,Kunming,and Lincang reported 94.32％of cases.A total of 52.54％of cases were in young men.The proportion of cross-bor-der personnel flow,land input,and aircraft input were 88.89％and 11.11％respectively.A total of 98.19％of patients sought medical care within 7 days after fever onset,and 82.85％initiated diagnosis for malaria,and 84.90％of diagnoses were con-firmed by health facilities at or below the county level.Imported malaria is a major challenge in preventing re-establishment of transmission in Yunnan.Most imported cases involved cross-border malaria transmission of mainly Plasmodium vivax between China and Myanmar.To achieve malaria elimination,vigilance of health staff in malaria diagnosis and treatment should be pro-moted,and intensive malaria health education should be provided to people traveling to malaria endemic territories,to enable individual protection,and timely diagnosis and treatment after return from endemic countries.

Aim To study the mechanism of adipose mesenchymal stem cell exosomes(ASC-exo)inhibition of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-induced atopic dermatitis(AD).Methods The mouse age,extrac-tion method,and the concentration of a solution of typeⅠ collagen enzyme and other conditions were compared to study the effects on the morphology and quantity of adipose mesenchymal stem cells(ASCs)after extrac-ted.FITC-induced mouse model in vivo was estab-lished and different doses of ASC-exo were given to measure ear thickness,ear weight and ear scratching times of mice.HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of ear tissue of mice.The non-toxicity of ASC-exo was detected.IgE,IL-5,IL-13 and other cytokines were detected by ELISA.The gene ex-pressions of TSLP,IL-33,occludin,Claudin-1(CLDN-1)and E-cadherin were detected by RT-qPCR.The protein expression was detected by immunohistochemis-try.Results An efficient method for extracting ASCs was established.Compared with the blank group,mice in the model group showed obvious AD symptoms.Compared with the model group,ASC-exo administra-tion group significantly reduced the number of ear scratches,epidermal thickening,inflammatory cell infil-tration and the secretion of Th2 cytokines IL-5 and IL-13.Meanwhile,ASC-exo administration group signifi-cantly increased the expression of structural proteins CLDN-1 and occludin in epithelial cells and decreased the expression of TSLP and IL-33.Conclusions ASC-exo can significantly improve Th2 skin inflamma-tion in AD mice,and its mechanism may be through in-creasing the expression of tight junction proteins and adhesion link protein in epithelial cells,repairing the skin barrier,and inhibiting the key promoters of allergy TSLP and IL-33.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of pre-infarction angina(PIA)combined with serum lipo-protein-associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2)for no-reflow during primary percutaneous coronary interven-tion(PCI)in elderly patients with new-onset acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI).Meth-ods:A total of 189 patients who hospitalized because of acute STEMI and underwent primary PCI within 12h in De-partment of Cardiology,Cangzhou People's Hospital between January 2018 and December 2022 were enrolled.Ac-cording to their TIMI blood flow during PCI,the patients were divided into no reflow group(n=42)and normal re-flow group(n=147).The baseline data were compared between two groups.Multivariate Logistic regression analy-sis was used to analyze the risk factors of no-reflow during PCI.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was plotted to evaluate the predictive value of PIA and Lp-PLA2 for no-reflow.Results:PI A occurred in 73 cases(38.6％),and no reflow occurred in 42 cases(22.2％)during primary PCI.Compared with patients in normal re-flow group,those in no reflow group had significant higher Lp-PLA2[(341.33±98.32)ng/ml vs.(261.95±75.21)ng/ml]and onset to reperfusion time[(7.02±1.28)h vs.(5.14±1.48)h],and significant lower incidence of PIA(23.8％ vs.42.9％)(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Lp-PLA2(OR=1.528,95％CI 1.028～2.030,P＜0.001),onset to reperfusion time(OR=2.602,95％CI 1.848～3.665,P＜0.001)were independent risk factors for no reflow during PCI in elderly STEMI patients,while PIA was an inde-pendent protective factor(OR=0.261,95％CI 0.101～0.671,P=0.005).The area under ROC curve of Lp-PLA2 combined PIA was 0.863(95％CI 0.806～0.909),which was significantly higher than those of Lp-PLA2[0.733(95％CI 0.664～0.794),Z=2.690,P=0.007]and PIA alone[0.609(95％CI 0.535～0.679),Z=5.657,P＜0.001].Conclusion:Pre-infarction angina has an important protective effect on no-reflow in STEMI patients.High Lp-PLA2 and absence of pre-infarction angina at admission may be good predictors of no-reflow during primary PCI in elderly patients with newly-onset acute STEMI,and it contributes to risk stratification of high risk patients.

All-trans retinoic acid(ATRA)is able to induce promyelocytic differentiation effectively.However,its role in the process of erythroid differentiation remains unclear.To investigate the role of AT-RA in the process of erythroid differentiation and its epigenetic regulatory mechanism,we established an induced leukemia cell K562 model in this study.Firstly,hemin was used to induce the differentiation of K562 cells into erythroid cells.The results of flow cytometry showed that ATRA affected the lineage changes of cells during erythroid differentiation and blocked the process of cell differentiation.After AT-RA treatment of differentiating cells,the expression level of erythroid differentiation-related genes de-creased.Through chromatin conformational capture(3C),formaldehyde-assisted separation of regulatory elements(FAIRE),chromatin immunoprecipitation(ChIP)techniques,the epigenetic mechanism was explored and it was found that after ATRA treatment of cells,the chromatin accessibility within the β-glo-bin family gene locus decreased,and the frequency of interaction between the locus control region(LCR)and its target gene promoter decreased.The decrease in the chromatin accessibility of the gene locus led to a decrease in the enrichment frequency of erythroid-related transcription factors GATA binding protein 1(GATA1),LIM domain binding 1(LDB1),LIM domain only 2(LMO2),and BHLH transcription factor 1(TAL1)at the promoter regions of the LCR and the gene locus of the globin family.The above results indicate that the ATRA treatment of differentiating cells leads to a decrease in the chromatin acces-sibility of erythroid differentiation-related genes,and a more closed chromatin structure hinders the bind-ing of LCR-recruiting transcription factors to the promoter regions of genes,thereby further repressing the expression of β-globin family genes.This dynamic process elucidates the epigenetic mechanism of ATRA in regulating erythroid differentiation.
