ObjectiveTo explore quality difference factors of Perillae Caulis based on the contents of multiple chemical components and comprehensively evaluate the quality. MethodsA total of 32 batches of Perillae Caulis samples were collected from 12 producing areas such as Hebei, Anhui and Guangdong, and their diameter range, epidermis color and producing areas were recorded. Total flavonoids, total phenols, volatile oils, 5 active components and 84 volatile components in 32 batches of samples were quantitatively or semi-quantitatively determined by colorimetry, ultra performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detector(UPLC-PDA) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Then the differences between the contents of these components were analyzed by principal component analysis(PCA) and non-parametric test. According to the weights of the index components determined by PCA model, entropy weight-technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS) model was constructed to evaluate the quality of Perillae Caulis with different characters and origins. ResultsThere were significant differences in the composition of Perillae Caulis with different diameters, epidermis colors and producing areas, and 9 differential components were screened out, including 6 index constituents(total flavonoids, total phenols, caffeic acid, scutellarin, rosmarinic acid and luteolin) and 3 volatile components(caryophyllene oxide, (-)-humulene epoxide Ⅱ, 14-hydroxycaryophyllene), of which 6 index constituents were higher in samples with small diameter, purple-brown epidermis and southern origin, while the contents of 3 volatile components were higher in samples with large diameter, dark-brown epidermis and northern origin. A significant difference was shown in the model scores of different diameters, epidermis colors and origins(P<0.05), and the scores of Perillae Caulis with small diameter and purple-brown epidermis from southern area, especially Guangdong, had a high score. ConclusionThere are significant differences in the composition and content of chemical constituents between different diameters, epidermal colors and production areas of Perillae Caulis, samples showing small diameter, owing purple-brown epidermis, and originating from Guangdong were of higher-quality due to their higher content of 8 key indices.

Central nervous system(CNS)degenerative disorders refer to a spectrum of pathological alterations triggered by struc-tural damage to cerebral neural tissues,clinically manifested as diverse neurological dysfunction syndromes,including multiple sclerosis(MS),neurodegenerative diseases(NDs),and ische-mic stroke.The hallmark pathological features of these disorders involve irreversible neuronal damage and decompensation of functional neural networks,ultimately leading to progressive neurological deficits.Notably,with the accelerating global popu-lation aging,the incidence of these diseases has surged signifi-cantly.According to WHO statistics,they now rank among the top three global causes of disability and mortality.Current re-search has confirmed that the pathogenesis of CNS degenerative disorders exhibits high heterogeneity,encompassing multifaceted pathophysiological processes such as genetic predisposition,oxi-dative stress,protein misfolding,and metabolic dysregulation.This intricate pathogenic network not only complicates clinical differential diagnosis but also poses substantial challenges to the development of precision therapeutic strategies.Importantly,re-cent studies have revealed that mitochondrial homeostasis disrup-tion-induced inflammatory cascades(termed mitochondrial in-flammation)play a pivotal regulatory role in neurodegenerative progression.Key molecular mechanisms include impaired mito-phagy,aberrant mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)release and NL-RP3 inflammasome activation.This review systematically deci-phers the molecular regulatory network of mitochondrial inflam-mation,with a focus on its biological effects in critical pathologi-cal events such as blood-brain barrier disruption,microglial hy-peractivation and neuronal apoptosis.The overarching aim is to provide a theoretical foundation for developing innovative thera-peutic strategies targeting mitochondrial homeostasis restoration.

Objective:To explore the impact of family empowerment-based supervised follow-up nursing on the self-care ability and quality of life of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and to provide references for improving the treatment attitudes and compliance behaviors of patients.Methods:A randomized controlled study was conducted. Convenience sampling was used to select 100 IBD patients admitted to the Department of Gastroenterology at Lishui Central Hospital from January 2021 to June 2023. The patients were randomly divided into a study group (receiving family empowerment-based supervised follow-up nursing) and a control group (receiving routine continuing care). Before the intervention and three months after the intervention, the self-care ability, medication compliance, disease control effect, and quality of life were compared between the two groups.Results:A total of 99 IBD patients were included, with 50 in the study group, 27 males and 23 females, aged (39.55 ± 5.21) years old, and 49 in the control group, 28 males and 21 females, aged (40.24 ± 7.16) years old. Before the intervention, there were no statistically significant differences in self-care ability, medication compliance, disease control effect, and quality of life between the two groups (all P>0.05). After three months of intervention, the self-care ability, medication compliance and quality of life scores in the study group were (141.27 ± 13.48), (91.02 ± 4.69), (185.21 ± 9.51) points, which were higher than the control group (120.17 ± 11.08), (85.69 ± 4.49), (173.58 ± 9.27) points, respectively. The differences were statistically significant ( t =-8.50, -5.77, -6.16, all P<0.05). The disease control effect score in the study group was (100.77 ± 9.42) points, lower than the control group (125.99 ± 7.87) points, the differences was statistically significant ( t =14.44, P<0.05). Conclusions:Family empowerment-based supervised follow-up nursing can improve the self-care ability, medication compliance, disease control effect, and quality of life in IBD patients.

Infertility is an important cause of reproductive health. With the increasing development of assisted reproductive technology, millions of people choose to use assisted reproductive technology to assist pregnancy every year. However, there are still many patients in the clinic who may have fertilization disorders during the assisted pregnancy. The causes of fertilization disorders are complex and varied. Although research on fertilization disorders has progressed in recent years, the question of how to improve the fertilization rate and oocyte utilization in patients remains a focal issue. The aim of this review is to summarize the latest research progress on the possible etiology and treatment of fertilization disorders in the process of conception, so as to provide a more comprehensive theoretical reference for the clinical diagnosis and management of people with fertilization disorders.

Aim To investigate the effect of N6-methy-ladenosine(m6A)demethylase ALKBH5 on the prolif-eration and migration of cardiac fibroblasts(CFs)in-duced by high glucose.Methods Primary CFs were isolated from neonatal mouse hearts and identified u-sing optical and confocal microscopy.Cell activation was induced using a high-glucose medium(33 mmol·L-1 glucose).An ALKBH5 overexpression model was established by transfecting CFs with an ALKBH5 ex-pression vector in a high-glucose medium.The expres-sion of ALKBH5 in CFs was assessed through immuno-fluorescence staining,Western blot and RT-qPCR.Changes in m6A levels were evaluated using Dot blot a-nalysis.Additionally,Alterations in the expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA)and collagenⅠ,a pivotal fibrosis indicator,were measured using Western blot.The proliferation and migration ability of CFs were assessed through EdU staining and Transwell migration assay,respectively.Results Following treatment with high glucose,the expression of ALKBH5 in CFs notably decreased,while m6A level increased.This was accompanied by a significant increase in the expression of the proliferation marker PCNA and the fi-brosis marker collagen Ⅰ.Additionally,there was a sig-nificant improvement in the ability of proliferation and migration.Overexpression of ALKBH5 resulted in a significant decrease in the expressions of PCNA and collagen Ⅰ,leading to the inhibition of both proliferation and migration in CFs.Conclusion Overexpression of ALKBH5 suppresses the expression of PCNA and colla-gen Ⅰ,consequently reducing the proliferation and mi-gration of CFs,potentially through m6A methylation modification.
