Objective : To observe the brain tissue injury during hypoxia-ischemia, as well as the pathological changes and the expression of ferroptosis-related factors after the use of Shenfu injection(SFI), and to explore the protective effect of SFI on hypoxic-ischemic brain injury(HIBD) by inhibiting ferroptosis. Methods : An animal model of HIBD in SD rats was constructed and intervened with SFI. Pathologic changes in brain tissue were observed by HE staining methods. Nissen staining was used to observe neuron survival. Glutathione Peroxidase 4(GPX4) and Divalent Metal Transporter 1(DMT1) expression were detected in brain tissue by Western blot, immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Reduced Glutathione(GSH), Lactate Dehydrogenase(LDH), Malondialdehyde(MDA), Superoxide Dismutase(SOD) and tissue iron content were determined with the kits. BV-2 microglial cell line(BV2) cells were culturedin vitroand divided into control group(Ctrl group), oxygen-glucose deprivation group(OGD group), iron ferroptosis-inducing group(Erastin group), iron ferroptosis-inhibiting group(Fer-1 group), Shenfu injection group(SFI group), and Erastin+Shenfu injection group(Erastin+SFI group). 2′,7′-Dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate(DCFH-DA) reactive oxygen species(ROS) fluorescent probe was used to detect the ROS release level; Immunofluorescence was used to observe intracellular GPX4, DMT1 expression. Results : Compared with the Sham group, rats in the HIBD group showed significant neuronal cell damage in brain tissue, decreased GPX4 expression(P<0.01), increased DMT1 expression(P<0.01), decreased GSH and SOD levels(P<0.01), and increased LDH, MDA and tissue iron levels(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.01). In contrast, after the intervention of SFI, GPX4 expression was elevated(P<0.01), DMT1 expression decreased(P<0.01), GSH and SOD levels were elevated(P<0.01), and LDH, MDA, and tissue iron levels decreased(P<0.05,P<0.05,P<0.01). The cells experiments showed that compared with the Ctrl group, the OGD group had a significantly higher ROS content and a decrease in the expression of GPX4 fluorescence intensity, and an increase in the fluorescence intensity of DMT1(P<0.01), compared with the OGD group, the ROS content was reduced in the SFI group, while the expression of GPX4 was elevated and the expression of DMT1 was reduced(P<0.01). Conclusion Hippocampal and cortical regions are severely damaged after HIBD in neonatal rats, and their brain tissues show decreased expression of GPX4 and increased expression of DMT1. The above suggests that ferroptosis is involved in HIBD brain injury in neonatal rats. In contrast, Shenfu injection has a protective effect on HIBD experimental animal model and BV2 cell injury model by reducing iron aggregation and ROS production.

Objective:To construct a risk prediction model for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) in adolescents with mood disorders, providing a basis for identifying and intervening in high-risk patients.Methods:A convenience sampling method was used to retrospectively analyze 724 adolescent patients with mood disorders admitted to the open ward of Qingdao Mental Health Center from January 2019 to July 2023. Patients admitted from January 2019 to December 2022 (641 cases) were randomly divided into a modeling group and an internal validation group in a 7∶3 ratio, while patients admitted from January to July 2023 (83 cases) were used as an external validation group. A binary multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to construct a nomogram prediction model for NSSI risk in adolescents with mood disorders. The predictive performance of the model was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC), sensitivity, and specificity.Results:There were 179 males and 545 females, aged 15 (14, 17) years old. Among the 724 patients, 449 were in the modeling group, 192 in the internal validation group, and 83 in the external validation group. The incidence of NSSI in the modeling group was 32.96% (148/449). Reduced food intake ( OR=10.980, 95% CI 4.462-27.017), passive contact ( OR=4.681, 95% CI 1.986-11.031), Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 score >17 ( OR=12.235, 95% CI 4.657-32.141), Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale score>15 ( OR=27.888, 95% CI 8.700-124.630), Insomnia Severity Index score >15 ( OR=6.357, 95% CI 2.257-17.899), and higher levels of past self-injury ( OR=1.663, 95% CI 1.428-1.935) were independent risk factors for NSSI in adolescents with mood disorders (all P<0.05). The AUC of the nomogram model based on these six factors was 0.973, with a sensitivity of 0.94 and a specificity of 0.89. Conclusions:The risk prediction model for NSSI in adolescents with mood disorders has good discrimination, accuracy, and practicality, and can help identify high-risk NSSI populations among adolescents with mood disorders.

Objective:To investigate the association between peripheral immune function status and lung cancer metastasis,and to identify peripheral blood immune biomarkers for'Deficiency of Vital Qi'assessment in lung cancer metastasis.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on peripheral blood immune markers collected before treatment from lung cancer patients admitted into Shanghai Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine,affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine,between March 2023 and April 2025.Patients were categorized into the non-metastatic and the metastatic groups based on the presence of distant metastasis,and the differences in the expressions of immune cells and cytokines between groups were compared.Peripheral blood immune markers with P<0.05 in univariate analysis were incorporated into a multivariate binary logistic regression model to identify independent predictors of lung cancer metastasis.Results:A total of 193 lung cancer patients were included(101 in the non-metastatic group and 92 in the metastatic group).There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of gender,age,smoking history,drinking history,or pathological type(all P>0.05).Univariate analysis revealed significant differences in multiple immune markers between the non-metastatic and metastatic groups(all P<0.05),including:lymphocyte count,CD3+,CD4+,and CD8+T,CD19+B cells,absolute counts of CD3-CD16+CD56+NK cells,percentages of Treg cells,CD8+CD28+Treg cells,G-MDSC,and CD3-CD16+CD56+dim NK cells,and levels of cytokine IL-1β,IL-6,and IL-10.Binary logistic regression analysis of differential indicators suggested that the percentage of Treg cells and CD8+CD28+Treg cells in peripheral blood were independent predictors of distant metastasis in lung cancer(OR=1.193,95%CI[1.047,1.36],P<0.01;OR=0.978,95%CI[0.957,0.999],P<0.05).Conclusion:Peripheral blood immune dysfunction is the biological basis for'qi deficiency'in lung cancer metastasis.This study quantitatively demonstrates the correlation between peripheral immune function status and lung cancer metastasis,providing empirical evidence for the theories of'qi deficiency and hidden toxicity'and'metastatic state of tumors'.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of opioid-free anesthesia on postoperative outcomes in elderly patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Methods:In this randomized controlled trial, 90 patients of either sex, aged 65-75 yr, with a body mass index of 18.5-23.9 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ or Ⅲ, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were divided into 2 groups ( n=45 each) using a table of random numbers: conventional general anesthesia group (GA group) and opioid-free anesthesia group (OFA group). Anesthesia was induced with intravenous etomidate, sufentanil and cisatracurium besylate and maintained with infusion of propofol and remifentanil combined with inhalation of sevoflurane in GA group. In OFA group, bilateral ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block was performed via the posterior gluteal approach (injection of 0.25% ropivacaine 20 ml respectively) before anesthesia induction, anesthesia was induced with intravenous dexmedetomidine, esketamine, etomidate and cisatracurium besylate and maintained with infusion of dexmedetomidine, esketamine and propofol combined with inhalation of sevoflurane. In both groups, mechanical ventilation was performed with a laryngeal mask airway after anesthesia induction, and ketorolac tromethamine 30 mg (for postoperative analgesia) and metoclopramide 10 mg (to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting) were intravenously injected at the end of surgery. The intraoperative adverse cardiovascular events, emergence time, laryngeal mask airway removal time, time of postanesthesia care unit stay, and postoperative rescue analgesia, nausea and vomiting and delirium were recorded. Results:No gallbladder cardiac reflex was found during operation in either group. Compared with GA group, the incidence of intraoperative bradycardia (11% versus 22%) was significantly increased ( P<0.05), the incidence of intraoperative hypotension and postoperative nausea, vomiting and delirium (17% versus 8%, 29% versus 16%, 16% versus 4% and 18% versus 4%), and requirements for rescue analgesia and antiemetics (31% versus 7% and 13% versus 4%) were decreased ( P<0.05), the postoperative emergence time, time of laryngeal mask airway removal and time of postanesthesia care unit stay were prolonged ( P<0.05), and no statistically significant difference was found in discharge time in OFA group ( P>0.05). Conclusions:The results of this study, as a single-center, small-sample randomized controlled trial, indicate that referenced to conventional general anesthesia, opioid-free anesthesia (esketamine-dexmedetomidine based anesthesia combined with bilateral transversus abdominis plan block) can improve the short-term postoperative outcomes to a certain extent in elderly patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
