The purpose of this paper is to explore the decoction and dosing methods of rhubarb root and rhizome in classical prescriptions and to provide a reference basis for the clinical use of rhubarb root and rhizome. By collating the relevant classical prescriptions of rhubarb root and rhizome in Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolüe, the relationship between its decoction and dosing methods and the syndrome was analyzed. The decoction of rhubarb root and rhizome in classical prescriptions can be divided into three categories: simultaneous decoction, decoction later, and other methods (impregnation in Mafei decoction, decoction with water from the well spring first taken in the morning, and pills). If it enters the blood level or wants to slow down, rhubarb root and rhizome should be decocted at the same time with other drugs. If it enters the qi level and wants to speed up, rhubarb root and rhizome should be decocted later. If it wants to upwardly move, rhubarb root and rhizome should be immersed in Mafei decoction. If it wants to suppress liver yang, rhubarb root and rhizome should be decocted with water from the well spring first taken in the morning. If the disease is prolonged, rhubarb root and rhizome should be taken in pill form. The dosing methods of rhubarb root and rhizome can be divided into five categories: draught, twice, three times, before meals, and unspecified. For acute and serious illnesses with excess of pathogenic qi and adequate vital qi, we choose draught. For gastrointestinal diseases, we choose to take the medicine twice. For achieving a moderate and long-lasting effect, we choose to take the medicine three times. If the disease is located in the lower part of the heart and abdomen, we choose to take it before meals. The use of rhubarb root and rhizome in clinical practice requires the selection of the appropriate decoction and dosing methods according to the location of the disease, the severity of the disease, the patient′s constitution, and the condition after taking the medicine.

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and associated factors of spinal curvature abnormalities among primary and secondary school students in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, so as to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of such abnormalities. Methods: From September to November 2023, adopting a stratified cluster random sampling method, spinal curvature screenings and questionnaire surveys were conducted among 168 931 students from grade 4 of primary school to grade 12 of high school in 111 districts and counties across 14 cities in Guangxi. Chi square tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze influencing factors of spinal curvature abnormalities. Results: In 2023, the detection rate of poor posture among students above grade 4 in Guangxi was 4.24% , and the detection rate of spinal curvature abnormalities was 2.13%. The detection rate was higher among urban students (2.84%) than rural students (1.66%), boarding students (2.61%) than non-boarding students (1.60%), and high school students (3.16%) than junior high (2.45%) and primary school students (1.15%), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=269.85, 221.44, 565.10, P <0.01). A trend of increasing detection rates with higher grade levels was observed ( χ 2 trend =617.63, P <0.01). Binary Logistic regression analysis indicated that students without boarding at school ( OR =0.82, 95% CI =0.75-0.90), engaging in high-intensity physical activity for over 60 min per day ≥5 days per week ( OR =0.90, 95% CI =0.82-0.98), and adequate sleep ( OR =0.87, 95% CI =0.81-0.94) had lower risks of detecting spinal curvature abnormalities ( P <0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of spinal curvature abnormalities increases with grade level among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity demonstrates protective effects against spinal abnormalities.

Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to survey 178 700 students from the fourth grade of primary school to the third year of high school in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from September to November 2023, including physical examination, oral screening, and questionnaire survey. Chisquare tests and binary Logistic regression analysis were employed to investigate the related factors of the cooccurrence of dental caries and overweight/obesity among students. Results: The comorbidity rate of dental caries and overweight/obesity was 9.55%, with urban areas (9.95%) higher than rural counties (9.24%), boys (10.54%) higher than girls (8.54%), primary school students (11.49%) higher than senior high school students (8.92%) and junior high school students (8.05%), and nonboarding students (11.44%) higher than boarding students (7.94%), and all differences were statistically significant (χ2=26.07, 207.91, 471.54, 629.14,P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that consuming cereal for breakfast (OR=0.91, 95%CI=0.88-0.94), drinking milk in the past week (OR=0.89, 95%CI=0.83-0.95), meeting sleep standards (OR=0.95, 95%CI=0.91-0.99), and brushing teeth at least once a day (OR=0.82, 95%CI=0.73-0.93) had a lower risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity. In contrast, drinking beverages in the past week (OR=1.14, 95%CI=1.09-1.20), consuming fried foods in the past week (OR=1.11, 95%CI=1.06-1.17), eating fruit ≥1 time every day (OR=1.06, 95%CI=1.02-1.11), consuming fruit ≥1 type every day (OR=1.07, 95%CI=1.01-1.12), and having fish, poultry, meat, or eggbased breakfasts (OR=1.03, 95%CI=1.05-1.13) had a higher risk of the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity (P<0.05). Conclusions Dietary habits and lifestyle behaviors are associated with the comorbidity of dental caries and overweight/obesity among primary and secondary school students in Guangxi. Guiding students to form healthy living habits is helpful to preven dental caries and overweight/obesity.

Objective To explore the effect and potential mechanism of total lignans of syringae ramuls(TLS)against liver cancer u-sing in vitro cellular assays,network pharmacological and molecular docking.Methods Flow cytometry was performed to detect the effect of TLS on apoptosis and cycle of HepG2 cells.TL components were collected by literature search;drug-like properties and synthetic scores of components were assessed by ADMETlab;toxicological parameters of components were predicted by ProTox-Ⅱ;TLS component targets were predicted by Swiss Target Prediction website;GeneCards,OMIM,DisGeNET,and PharmGKB databases were used to screen the related targets of liver cancer;The"component-disease-target"network diagram was constructed by Cytoscape software and the"protein-protein interaction"(PPI)network diagram was constructed by STRING platform;and DAVID database was used to analyse GO,KEGG and WIKI metabolic pathways.Results TLS at 50-200μg/ml could significantly inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells,induce apoptosis and block the cell cycle.The main components of TLS in anti-liver cancer were 31 active components,such as(-)matairesinol,(-)-secoisolariciresinol,and pinnatifolin A,which mainly acted on 82 key targets such as Akt1,Bel-2 and EGFR,which were mainly enriched in the cancer pathway,EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance,cycle and apoptosis signaling pathways.Conclusion TLS may play an anti-liver cancer effect through multi-components,multi-targets,and multi-pathway.

Objective:To investigate the effect of protein tyrosine phosphatase D(PTPRD)demethylation on the proliferation,migration,and chemoresistance of gastric cancer(GC)cells through the phosphatidyl inositol 3 kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin(PI3K/Akt/mTOR)pathway.Methods:The gastric cancer MKN-74 and MKN-45 cells,as well as human gastric mucosal epithelial GES-1 cells,GES-1 were cultured in vitro and PTPRD expression was detected.MKN-45 cells and their drug-resistant variant MKN-45/5-FU cells were routinely cultured and transfected with various vectors:PTPRD empty vector(NC group,NC/5-FU group),PTPRD overexpressing adenovirus(PTPRD group,PTPRD/5-FU group),shRNA empty vector(sh-NC group,sh-NC/5-FU group),shRNA PTPRD lentivirus(sh-PTPRD group,sh-PTPRD/5-FU group),and PTPRD overexpressing adenovirus+10 μmol/L 740Y-P treatment(PTPRD+740Y-P group,PTPRD+740Y-P/5-FU group).MTT assay and wound healing assay were used to assess cell proliferation and migration.Cell autophagy levels were assessed using autophagy assay,and the expression of epithelial-mesenchymal transition(EMT)and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway related proteins was detected using western blot(WB).MKN-45 cells were treated with 0,2.5,5,10,20 and 40 μmol/L 5-aza solutions,and the PTPRD mRNA expression and cell proliferation in MKN-45 cells were detected using qPCR and MTT assays.Results:PTPRD mRNA and protein were significantly downregulated in gastric cancer cells(P<0.05).Compared with the MKN-45 group,the numbers of autophagosomes and autophagosomes,as well as the protein expression of PTPRD,E-cadherin,and BAX significantly increased in the PTPRD group(all P<0.05),while cell proliferation,migration rate,and protein expression of p-PI3K,vimentin,p-Akt,and p-mTOR decreased significantly(all P<0.05);However,in the sh-PTPRD group,cell proliferation activity,migration rate,and protein expression of p-PI3K,vimentin,p-Akt,and p-mTOR increased notably,while the quantity of autophagosomes,autophagosomes,and protein expression of PTPRD,E-cadherin,and BAX decreased(all P<0.05).Compared with the PTPRD group,the PTPRD+740Y-P group showed an increase in cell proliferation activity,migration rate,protein expression of p-PI3K,vimentin,p-Akt,and p-mTOR(all P<0.05),and a decrease in number of autophagosomes,autophagosomes,and protein expression of PTPRD,E-cadherin,and BAX(all P<0.05).With the increase of 5-aza concentration,the mRNA expression of PTPRD in MKN-45 cells increased(P<0.05),while the cell proliferation activity decreased(P<0.05).Compared with the MKN-45/5-FU group,the cell migration rate and proliferation activity decreased in PTPRD/5-FU group,while the sh-PTPRD/5-FU group showed an increase in cell migration rate and proliferation activity(all P<0.05).Compared with the PTPRD/5-FU group,the PTPRD+740Y-P/5-FU group showed an increase in cell migration rate and proliferation activity(all P<0.05).Conclusion:PTPRD is downregulated in GC cells,and its demethylation may inhibit proliferation and migration of GC cells and enhance chemosensitivity by suppressing the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

The phenomenon of adolescent suicide has become a serious challenge to global public health, and suicidal behavior can directly threatening the lives of adolescents.Attempted suicide during adolescence has long-term negative impacts on their health in adulthood.With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, machine learning has demonstrated markedly superior performance compared to traditional assessment tools in predicting the risk of suicide among adolescents.Therefore, this article reviews the application and significance of machine learning in predicting suicidal behavior among adolescents.It mainly focuses on machine learning-related concepts, the utilization of multimodal data such as text and voice, as well as the in-depth analysis of algorithmic performance.However, this learning technology continues to encounter challenges pertaining to data quality, overfitting, model interpretability as well as ethical considerations.In future practical applications, various factors, including data characteristics, problem requirements, time costs and algorithm performance, should be comprehensively considered to develop a more accurate predictive model for adolescent suicidal behavior, thereby safeguarding the mental health of adolescents.

Danggui Sinitang is first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage written by ZHANG Zhongjing in the Han dynasty. It is composed of Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Cinnamomi Ramulus， Paeoniae Radix Alba， Asari Radix et Rhizoma， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Tetrapanacis Medulla， and Jujubae Fructus and serves as a classic formula for treating the syndrome of blood deficiency and cold reversal. This study systematically reviews the records of Danggui Sinitang in ancient Chinese medicine books of various dynasties and the modern clinical applications to probe into the composition， plant species， processing， dosage， decocting method， and indications of Danggui Sinitang， aiming to provide a reference for the development and clinical application of this classic formula. The review of the records showed that there were a variety of records of Danggui Sinitang with different composition， and the composition of this formula listed in the Treatise on Cold Damage has a significant impact on later generations and has been used by medical practitioners throughout history. Although the dosage of some drugs decreased during the Ming and Qing dynasties， the medical practitioners continued to use the original formula. In terms of processing， although there were slight changes in the processing of Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Paeoniae Radix Alba， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and Tetrapanacis Medulla， the original processing method was inherited. In terms of indications， Danggui Sinitang was designed to treat cold reversal due to blood deficiency and dysentery. Furthermore， it was used to treat headache， convulsive disease， infantile convulsion， and private part adduction in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Nowadays， this formula is mostly used to treat diabetes peripheral neuropathy， rheumatoid arthritis， dysmenorrhea， Raynaud's disease and other diseases. In terms of precautions， ancient physicians believed that Danggui Sinitang should not be taken by pregnant women and should only be used for limb chills caused by blood deficiency and cold coagulation. For limb chills caused by other reasons， this formula should not be used indiscriminately. Modern research has not reported any serious adverse reactions related to this formula. Danggui Sinitang has a definite therapeutic effect. In subsequent research and development， quality control standards of Danggui Sinitang should be established while its safety is ensured， and the related preparations should be developed and applied.

Objective To understand the molecular epidemiological characteristics of Norovirus outbreaks and the genome evolution of Norovirus epidemic strains in Hainan Province from 2020 to 2022.Methods The information and samples have been collected from the norovirus outbreaks from 2020 to 2022.Norovirus was detected by using the real-time PCR in these samples,then the detected sequences were amplified the analyzed.The Norovirus se-quences of 8 strains had been amplified and analyzed.Results From 2020 to 2022,39 gastroenteritis outbreaks were reported,and 25 outbreaks caused by Norovirus which mainly occurred in childcare institutions and schools(20/25,80％).The Norovirus outbreaks were mainly concentrated in counties around Haikou(northeast),which including Ding'an(5 cases),Wenchang(4 cases),Chengmai(4 cases),and Lingao(3 cases);following by western regions which included Baisha(2 cases),Ledong(2 cases),and Dongfang(3 cases).1 case was in Wanning in the southeast.Among individuals aged 2-17,the positive proportion of Norovirus in males was higher than that in females.Among individuals aged over 55,the proportion of Norovirus positive in females was higher than that in males.The gender of positive samples among individuals aged 18-40 was related to their profession.According to RT-PCR typing and sequencing,GⅡ group Norovirus were classified in13 outbreaks.There were 4 genotypes detected.GⅡ.2[P1 6]was the main epidemic strain with 60％(9/13),and the other three genotypes were GⅡ.4 Sydney[P31](15.4％,2/13)GⅡ.4 Sydney[P16](7.7％,1/13)and GⅡ.3[P12](7.7％,1/13).Further genic analysis of 8 Norovirus strains showed that all of them were still in the same branch as the previ-ous strain,and all exhibited a certain amount of amino acid variation.Conclusion Norovirus is the main pathogen of gastroenteritis outbreaks in Hainan province,and the main epidemic strain is GⅡ.2[P16].It is necessary to continue to strengthen the monitoring that provides scientific evidence for the prevention and control of norovirus out-breaks in Hainan region.
