ObjectiveTo establish the fingerprints of 15 batches of Hengzhi Kechuan capsules， to quantitatively analyze 10 index components， and to evaluate the quality uniformity of samples from different batches. MethodsThe fingerprints and quantitative analysis of Hengzhi Kechuan capsules were established by a combination method of high performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode array detector and charged aerosol detector（HPLC-DAD-CAD）， adenosine， guanosine， vanillic acid， safflomin A， agarotetrol， naringin， hesperidin， militarine， ginsenoside Rb₁， and glycyrrhizic acid were selected as quality attribute indexes. A total of 15 batches of Hengzhi Kechuan capsules from 2022 to 2024（3 boxes per batch） were qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed， and the quality uniformity level of the manufacturers was characterized by parameters of intra-batch consistency（P_A） and inter-batch consistency（P_B）. The homogeneity and difference of quality attribute indexes of samples from different years were analyzed by heatmap clustering analysis. ResultsHPLC fingerprints and quantitative method of Hengzhi Kechuan capsules were established， and the methods could be used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of this preparation， which was found to be stable and reliable by method validation. The similarity of fingerprints of 15 batches of samples was 0.887-0.975， a total of 13 common peaks were calibrated， and 10 common peaks were designated， all of which were quality attribute index components. The results of quantitative analysis showed that the contents of the above 10 ingredients in the samples were 0.038-0.078， 0.115-0.251， 0.007-0.018， 0.291-0.673， 0.122-0.257， 0.887-1.905， 1.841-3.364， 1.412-2.450， 2.207-3.112， 0.650-1.161， respectively. And the contents of ginsenoside Rb₁ and glycyrrhizic acid met the limit requirements in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. For the samples from 15 batches， the P_A values of the 10 index components were all <10%， indicating good intra-batch homogeneity， and the P_B values ranged from 33.86% to 92.97%， suggesting that the inter-batch homogeneity was poor. Heatmap clustering analysis showed that the samples from different years were clustered into separate categories， and adenosine， guanosine， safflomin A， naringin， hesperidin and agarotetrol were the main differential components. ConclusionThe intra-annual quality uniformity of Hengzhi Kechuan capsules is good and the inter-annual quality uniformity is insufficient， which may be related to the quality difference of Pinellinae Rhizoma Praeparatum， Carthami Flos， Citri Sarcodactylis Fructus， Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium， Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum， Citri Fructus， etc. In this study， the fingerprint and multi-indicator determination method of Hengzhi Kechuan capsules was established， which can be used for more accurate and efficient quality control and standardization enhancement.

Abstract： ObjectiveThe study aims to explore the effects and regulatory roles of glucose transporter 1 （GLUT1） on the proliferation， migration， adhesion， and angiogenesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells （HUVECs） under ischemia-hypoxic conditions. MethodsIn vitro experiments were conducted to subject HUVECs to an ischemia-hypoxic-mimicking environment （1% O₂， 5% CO₂， 94% N₂）. The biological characteristics of HUVECs under normoxic and ischemia-hypoxic conditions were compared by assessing cell viability， proliferation capacity， and examining the expression changes of GLUT1， HIF-1α， and VEGFA proteins under ischemia-hypoxia using Western blot technology. Further， GLUT1 was overexpressed using plasmid transfection and the proliferation， migration， adhesion， and angiogenic capabilities of HUVECs were evaluated through scratch assays， cell adhesion assays， and tube formation assays. Mitochondrial morphological changes were observed by transmission electron microscopy，and oxygen consumption rate （OCR） was detected by Seahorse metabolic analyzer to evaluate mitochondrial function. ResultsCompared with normoxic conditions， the ischemia-hypoxic environment significantly inhibited the proliferation， cell viability， migration， and adhesion capabilities of HUVECs and impaired their angiogenic potential. The expression levels of GLUT1， HIF-1α and VEGFA proteins were also markedly reduced. However， when GLUT1 expression was upregulated， the migration， adhesion， and angiogenic capabilities of HUVECs were significantly improved， and the protein expression levels of HIF-1α， VEGFA and VEGFR were increased. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that ischemic-hypoxia leads to mitochondrial swelling and matrix damage， while GLUT1 overexpression significantly alleviates mitochondrial morphology abnormalities. OCR results suggest that GLUT1 overexpression may enhance oxidative phosphorylation of endothelial cells in ischemic-hypoxic environments to improve energy metabolism. These results suggest that GLUT1 may influence the function and angiogenic potential of HUVECs by regulating glucose metabolism and energy supply. ConclusionsThis study reveals the significant regulatory role of GLUT1 in the function of HUVECs under ischemia-hypoxic conditions， potentially through modulating cellular energy metabolism and signal transduction pathways， thereby affecting cell proliferation， migration， adhesion， and angiogenesis. These findings provide a new perspective on the role of GLUT1 in cardiovascular diseases and may offer potential targets for the development of new therapeutic strategies.

Autoimmune encephalitis（AE）refers broadly to a group of encephalitic disorders mediated by autoimmune mechanisms. AE is characterized by complex pathogeneses and diverse clinical manifestations，and there are still numerous challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of AE. With the development of frontier technologies such as vaccines，gene editing，and big data，new opportunities have emerged for transforming the diagnosis and treatment strategies for AE. Vaccines play a dual role in AE： on the one hand，they can prevent infections； on the other hand，they may trigger autoimmune responses through molecular mimicry. Emerging nanovaccine technologies are expected to achieve safer and more effective immunomodulation. Gene editing techniques，especially the CRISPR-Cas9 system，have shown potential in targeted regulation of the function of immune cells and repair of nervous tissue，which provides new pathways for precise intervention in the treatment of AE. The application of big data technologies，including artificial intelligence，natural language processing，and deep learning，has promoted the early diagnosis of AE and the development of individualized treatment regimens. This article reviews the research advances and clinical prospects of these cutting-edge technologies in AE，in order to provide insights and references for the development of precision medicine，interdisciplinary collaboration，and future treatment strategies for AE.

Objective: To investigate the association between medium to long term PM 2.5 exposure around school areas and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi, providing data support and theoretical foundations for scientifically addressing overweight and obesity in primary and secondary school students. Methods: From September to November 2023, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 251 183 students aged 7-18 years (grade 1 to grade 12) from 14 prefecture level cities (111 districts and counties) in Guangxi. PM 2.5 mass concentration data were obtained from the Tracking Air Pollution in China (TAP) dataset. Preliminary comparative analysis was conducted using the Mann-Whitney U test, while binary Logistic regression models were applied to quantify the relationship between PM 2.5 exposure and overweight/obesity. Restricted cubic spline analysis was further utilized to examine the nonlinear association between PM 2.5 concentration and overweight/obesity risk. Results: The detection rate of overweight/obesity among Guangxi students in 2023 was 19.5%. The median PM 2.5 concentration in the year prior to the study was higher in the overweight/obesity group (23.22 μg/m 3) compared to the non overweight/obesity group (22.63 μg/m 3) ( Z=-15.66, P <0.01), and consistent trends were observed across gender (male/female) and educational stage (primary/junior/senior high school) subgroups (all P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression revealed that for every 10 μg/m 3 increase in the annual average PM 2.5 concentration, the risk of overweight/obesity increased by 12% ( OR=1.12, 95%CI=1.09- 1.15 , P <0.01). Restricted cubic spline analysis indicated a nonlinear relationship between monthly PM 2.5 levels and overweight/obesity risk ( P trend <0.01). Below 22.68 μg/m 3, PM 2.5 exposure showed no significant association with obesity risk; above the threshold, the risk increased with rising PM 2.5 levels. Conclusion Medium to long term PM 2.5 exposure around school environments is significantly associated with overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students.

Objective:To study the overall training effect of segmented training model on key fiberoptic bronchoscopy techniques for anesthesiology residents and the influence of key technique training order on the training effect.Methods:Different fiberoptic bronchoscopy simulators were used for specialized training in different key techniques of fiberoptic operation. To examine the effect of key technique learning order on the teaching effect, 40 anesthesiology residents who participated in fiberscope simulation training at Ruijin Hospital, Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine between November 2022 and March 2023 were selected for this study. They were randomly divided into two groups (Group S and Group M) using a numerical table method. The teaching was completed using two orders of key techniques. The operation time, operation quality score, and theoretical knowledge mastery score of the two groups were recorded to compare the effect of key technique learning order on the mastery of fiberoptic skills. SPSS 29.0 statistical software was used for data analysis. Measurement data that conformed to normal distribution were expressed as mean ± standard deviation, and the independent samples t-test or Fisher's exact test were used for comparison between groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of enumeration data. Results:After segmented training in each key technique, both groups of trainees were able to shorten the operation time of the corresponding key technique [SM simulator operation time (132.25±14.69) s vs. (49.80±4.46) s in group S, P<0.01; M simulator operation time (82.30±11.60) s vs. (57.10±6.77) s in group S, P<0.01; SM simulator operation time (83.10±10.62) s vs. (52.10±5.20) s in group M, P<0.01; M simulator operation time (132.25±14.69) s vs. (55.40±5.91) s in group M, P<0.01)]. Moreover, both groups showed a reduced number of wall touches [SM simulator wall touches (3.35±0.93) times vs. (0.65±0.49) times in group S, P<0.01; M simulator wall touches (2.50±1.05) times vs. (0.70±0.80) times in group S, P<0.01; SM simulator wall touches (1.55±1.15) times vs. (0.40±0.50) times in group M, P<0.01; M simulator wall touches (5.90±1.29) times vs. (1.10±0.79) times in group M, P<0.01]. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the performance score of fiberoptic-guided tracheal intubation after training [(92.50±5.97) points vs. (91.75±5.45) points] and in the lung segment localization time [(23.15±4.39) s, (21.40±4.84) s, (22.85±4.42) s vs. (22.75±5.11) s, (21.00±5.40) s, (21.50±5.10) s]. Conclusions:Segmented training on key fiberoptic bronchoscopy techniques is an effective model of fiberscope training for anesthesiology residents, and the order of training key techniques does not affect the effectiveness of training.
