Objective:To investigate whether biochanin A(BCA)has a protective effect against dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-in-duced ulcerative colitis(UC)in mice.Methods:Thirty C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into normal control group,DSS model group,sulfasalazine(SASP)-positive drug control group,and low/medium/high-dose(5 mg/kg,10 mg/kg,and 20 mg/kg)BCA groups.The mouse model of UC was induced by administering 2.5%DSS aqueous solution for 7 days.During the experimental period,both the normal control and model groups were given 0.5%carboxymethyl cellulose sodium solution daily by gavage.The positive control group was given 100 mg/kg SASP,while the BCA groups were given BCA suspensions at doses of 5 mg/kg,10 mg/kg,and 20 mg/kg.The ad-ministration lasted for 10 days.Body weight changes and fecal status of the mice were recorded every day;the colon was dissected,col-lected,and measured for its length.The colon was stained with Hematoxylin-Eosin for pathomorphological study.Quantitative poly-merase chain reaction was used to determine the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),and interleukin-10(IL-10)in the colon.Immunofluorescence was used to determine the expression of tight junction proteins,zonula occluden-1(ZO-1)and occludin,in the colon.Results:It showed that 5 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg BCA significantly alleviated weight loss in mice with UC,while 5 mg/kg,10 mg/kg,and 20 mg/kg BCA reduced the disease activity index scores.Additionally,BCA showed similar effects to SASP in improving the structure and reducing the shortening of the colon in mice with UC.Compared with the model group,all BCA groups had significantly decreased TNF-α(P=0.024、P=0.060、P=0.003)and IL-6(P=0.002、P<0.001、P<0.001)and significantly increased IL-10(P=0.006、P=0.003、P<0.001),with varying degrees of up-regulated expression of tight junction proteins.Conclusion:BCA can effectively alleviate DSS-induced symptoms,reduce intes-tinal damage,and protect the intestinal barrier in mice with UC.

This study analyzed the epidemiological characteristics and strain genotypic distribution of varicella in Fengtai District, Beijing, utilizing population-based surveillance data from March 2024 to February 2025 combined with laboratory nucleic acid detection and genotyping.We reported 522 varicella cases with male predominance (282 cases, 54.41%) and a majority aged >15 years (358 cases, 68.58%).A bimodal incidence pattern peaked in May and November, while 161 breakthrough infections (30.8%) occurred predominantly among students aged 6-20 years.The multivariate logistic regression model analysis showed that, compared to the 0-5 years age group, individuals aged 6-14 years ( OR: 2.729, 95% CI: 1.083-6.88), 15-20 years ( OR: 2.495, 95% CI: 1.158-5.378), and>20 years ( OR: 5.382, 95% CI: 2.478-11.689) exhibited progressively higher odds of oderate-to-severe rash; females demonstrated a lower risk compared to males ( OR: 0.485, 95% CI: 0.286-0.822); regarding vaccination status, recipients of one vaccine dose ( OR: 0.301, 95% CI: 0.161-0.564) and two doses ( OR: 0.203, 95% CI: 0.086-0.48) showed significantly reduced risks relative to unvaccinated individuals. Genotyping of 174 specimens identified 161 VZV-positive samples, with successful ORF22/38/62 sequencing in 142 samples confirming Clade 2 predominance (141 strains, 99.3%) and one Clade 5 strain; local isolates exhibited high vaccine-strain homology (ORF22 nucleotide:99.5%-100%, amino acid:99.3%-100%) with mutation sites partially overlapping other Chinese regions.

Aplastic anemia is a rare and life-threatening bone marrow failure that is becoming more common and tends to affect younger individuals.Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of preventing and treating asthenia and blood syndrome.Its treatment of aplastic anemia involves coordinated regulation through multiple components,targets,and channels.The article classifies and elaborates on the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine compounds and their components on aplastic anemia.As well as the expression of related factors from three aspects:hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells,the immune system,and bone marrow microenvironmental abnormalities.It also analyzes the frequency and meridian of commonly used drugs in traditional Chinese medicine compounds.Deficiency tonifying drugs were found to be the most frequently used treatment for aplastic anemia,which is consistent with the deficiency-based nature of the disease.The related organs affected are the liver,spleen,and kidney.This paper reviews the mechanism of aplastic anemia and the preventive and therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine.The study is of great significance for the follow-up research on traditional Chinese medicine in improving aplastic anemia.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To investigate the influence of the and mechanism of liver failing to convey and disperse on age-related changes in attentional search based on ERPs.Methods oddball attention search task was administrated to record and analyze behavioral and EEG data(N2pc、SPCN、N2pc-Ptc components)of 120 subjects.Results Compared with liver controlling conveyance and dispersion group,the accuracy in subjects with liver failing to convey and disperse decreased significantly(P<0.05).The elderly group had a lower accuracy(P<0.001)and a longer reaction time(P<0.001)compared to the young group.The N2pc amplitude in subjects with liver failing to convey and disperse was significantly greater than that in subjects with liver controlling conveyance and dispersion(P<0.05).The interaction effect of SPCN amplitude between age and liver failing to convey and disperse status was significant(P=0.024).And in the elderly group,SPCN amplitude in subjects with liver dysregulation was significantly smaller than that of liver controlling conveyance and dispersion(P=0.042).The N2pc-Ptc peak to peak amplitude interaction effect between age and liver regulation status was marginal significant(P=0.087),and in liver failing to convey and disperse group,N2pc-Ptc peak to peak amplitude of the elderly was significantly smaller than that of the young(P=0.008).Conclusion Attention search ability is impaired in the elderly with liver failing to convey and disperse,and the electrophysiological abnormalities,such as directed attention allocation,spatiotemporal dynamic cohesion and short-term memory maintenance,may be part of the mechanism.

Objective:To compare the differences in the evaluation of hemolysis performance of cellulose hemostatic materials using different detection methods and test media,and to explore a m ore reasonable testing plan for such products.Methods:Hemolysis tests were conducted on cellulose hemostatic materials using the absorbance measurement hemolysis method and hemoglobin concentration measurement hemolysis method in accordance with YY/T 1651.1-2019 standard.We compared the changes in hemolysis rate,pH value,and osmotic pressure under different experimental media.Results:Under the same experimental method,compared to SC,the hemolysis results using PBS as the extraction medium are smaller,and the changes in pH and osmotic pressure are closer to the normal range of human body changes.Conclusions:The changes in pH and osmotic pressure may be one of the reasons for the high hemolysis rate of cellulose hemostatic materials.Choosing PBS with buffering effect as the leaching medium may be more suitable for evaluating the hemolysis performance of cellulose hemostatic materials.
