OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of Wuling capsules combined with fluoxetine in the treatment of adolescents with first-episode moderate-to-severe depressive disorder accompanied by insomnia. METHODS The clinical data of 476 adolescents with first-episode moderate-to-severe depression accompanied by insomnia admitted to our hospital from June 2022 to May 2025， were retrospectively collected. According to the initial treatment regimen， patients were divided into a control group （241 cases， treated with fluoxetine alone） and an observation group （235 cases， treated with Wuling capsules combined with fluoxetine）. The depression severity （Hamilton Depression Rating Scale-17 Item and the Self-Rating Depression Scale scores）， sleep quality （Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score， sleep latency， wake after sleep onset， total sleep time， sleep efficiency）， serum neuroendocrine indicator （cortisol） and inflammatory markers （C-reactive protein， interleukin-6） were compared between the two groups before treatment and at 4th and 8th weeks of treatment. The effective rate at 8th weeks and the occurrence of adverse drug reactions （ADRs） were also compared between the two groups. RESULTS Before treatment， there were no significant differences in depression severity， sleep quality， serum neuroendocrine indicator， and inflammatory markers between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. At 4th and 8th weeks， both groups showed significant improvement in these indicators compared to those before treatment， with the observation group demonstrating significantly greater improvement than the control group at the corresponding time points （ P ＜0.05）. At 8th week， the eff ective rate of the observation group was 90.21%， significantly higher than 80.50% in the control group （ P ＜0.05）. The incidence of nausea， headache， fatigue， dry mouth， and palpitations， as well as the total incidence of ADRs， did not differ significantly between the two groups （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Wuling capsules combined with fluoxetine can significantly improve the effective rate in adolescents with first-episode moderate-to-severe depression accompanied by insomnia， accelerate the relief of depressive symptoms， improve sleep quality， and reduce serum neuroendocrine indicator and inflammatory markers， with a favorable safety profile.

Objective To explore the application effect of a standardized management method based on failure mode and effect analysis （FMEA） in optimizing the whole-process quality control system of the intravenous admixture service （PIVAS）. Methods The quality control management system of the PIVAS was optimized by establishing six quality control groups led by the head nurse, with full participation of pharmacy, nursing, and logistical staff, ensuring comprehensive coverage and traceability of all quality control links. Each group conducted risk priority number （RPN） scoring for potential failure modes in their respective quality control processes, and targeted improvement measures were formulated based on the scoring results. The RPN values of failure modes and quality control-related evaluation indicators before and after implementation were compared to achieve closed-loop management. Results After one year of management, the RPN values of the six major failure modes significantly decreased compared to those before implementation （P<0.05）. The compounding error rate dropped to 0.13%, the dispensing error rate decreased to 0.95%, the compounding efficiency increased to 98%, the delivery time was shortened by 0.45 h per batch, the intervention rate for irrational prescriptions rose to 94.87%, satisfaction improved to 96.78%, and the participation rate of quality control personnel reached 95.36% （P<0.05）. Conclusion FMEA-based identification of potential failure modes in the whole-process quality control system of the IVAS, combined with risk quantification and targeted interventions, significantly reduced high-risk failure modes, improved compounding accuracy and efficiency, and ensured the safety of clinical intravenous medication and the effectiveness of healthcare quality management.

Yuejuwan is a classic formula widely used by doctors to relieve liver and depression， with precise clinical efficacy in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. The authors used bibliometric methods to collect and collate 495 ancient data related to Yuejuwan， and 105 valid data were screened out， involving 68 ancient Chinese medical books. After systematic verification of the origin of the formula of Yuejuwan， the main treatment symptoms， the principle of the formula， the composition of the drug， the dosage， the preparation method， the decoction method， and other information， the results showed that Yuejuwan originated from the Danxi Xinfa （《丹溪心法》） of the Yuan Dynasty by ZHU Zhenheng， and it is composed of five medicines， namely Atractylodis Rhizoma， Cyperi Rhizom， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Massa Medicata Fermentata， and Gardeniae Fructus. In terms of drug base， Atractylodis Rhizoma， Cyperi Rhizom， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， and Gardeniae Fructus are in line with the records in the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia， and Massa Medicata Fermentata is used. The preparation method is as follows： Massa Medicata Fermentata and Gardeniae Fructus are fried， and Cyperi Rhizoma is roasted in vinegar. Chuanxiong Rhizoma is used in the raw form， and Atractylodis Rhizoma is prepared with rice swill. The formula can regulate Qi and relieve depression and broaden the middle and remove fullness. It is clinically used for the treatment of six types of depression syndromes， chest and diaphragm plumpness， abdominal distension and leg acid， acid swallowing and vomiting， eating and drinking disharmony， toothache， mouth and tongue sores， and other diseases. The most used dosage of the formula in the ancient records through the ages is converted into the modern dosage， namely 3.05 g Atractylodis Rhizoma， 3.05 g Cyperi Rhizoma， 3.05 g Chuanxiong Rhizoma， 3.05 g Massa Medicata Fermentata， and 3.05 g Gardeniae Fructus， and the daily dosage is 15.25 g. The converted dosage is similar to that recorded in the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. The formula is in pill form， and medicine should be taken with lukewarm boiled water after the meal. Through the excavation of the ancient literature related to Yuejuwan， the key information of the formula is identified， with a view to providing a more accurate reference for the clinical application of Yuejuwan and subsequent in-depth investigation.

Objective: To investigate the willingness to receive the pneumococcal vaccine and its influencing factors among middle-aged and elderly population in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a basis for increasing the vaccination rate of pueumococcal among middle-aged and elderly population. Methods: From March to May 2024, a multi-stage random sampling method was employed to recruit residents aged ≥50 years from 35 counties (cities or districts) in Zhejiang Province. Data on basic information, knowledge of pneumonia, pneumococcal vaccine, and willingness to receive pneumococcal vaccine were collected through questionnaire surveys. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze influencing factors for the willingness to receive pneumococcal vaccine among middle-aged and elderly population. Results: A total of 10 500 middle-aged and elderly population were surveyed. Among them, there were 5 202 males, accounting for 49.54%, and 5 298 females, accounting for 50.46%. The mean age was (65.11±9.05) years. Of the participants, 7 732 individuals were aware of pneumonia, accounting for 73.64%. A total of 1 724 individuals had received pneumococcal vaccine, corresponding to a vaccination rate of 16.42%. Furthermore, 5 138 participants expressed willingness to receive pneumococcal vaccine, with a willingness rate of 48.93%. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that middle-aged and elderly population aged ≥60 years (60-<70 years, OR=1.577, 95%CI: 1.433-1.736; ≥70 years, OR=2.110, 95%CI: 1.918-2.321), those with a history of chronic diseases (OR=1.250, 95%CI: 1.154-1.353), those who were recommended to receive the pneumonia vaccine by doctors (OR=4.896, 95%CI: 4.507-5.318), those who were aware of pneumonia (OR=1.460, 95%CI: 1.338-1.594), those who were aware that the elderly are prone to pneumonia (OR=1.490, 95%CI: 1.375-1.614), those who were aware of the causes of pneumonia (OR=1.559, 95%CI: 1.434-1.694), those who were aware that vaccination can prevent pneumonia (OR=2.196, 95%CI: 2.031-2.375), and those who were aware of the immunization schedule for pneumonia vaccine (OR=1.897, 95%CI: 1.683-2.124) had a higher willingness to receive pneumonia vaccine. Conclusions The willingness of middle-aged and elderly population in Zhejiang Province to receive pneumonia vaccine is related to age, history of chronic diseases, awareness of pneumonia, and awareness of pneumonia vaccine. It is recommended to strengthen health education on pneumonia and pneumonia vaccine for middle-aged and elderly population, in order to increase the willingness to receive the vaccine and vaccination rate.

Objective To assess the clinical utility of single-molecule real-time technology(SMRT)in identifying triplicated α-globin genes and compound variant alleles.Methods A total of 36 samples with tripli-cated α-globin genes were collected.Among them,28 samples were confirmed by PCR flow-through hybridiza-tion and 8 samples were confirmed by Next Generation Sequencing(NGS).These 36 samples included tripli-cated α-globin genes compound variants with cis or trans arrangements unknown,such as αααanti4 2 compoundαcsα(2 cases),αααanti4.2 compound-α3.7(10 cases),and HKαα/--SEA pending confirmation(2 cases),SMRT technology was employed to detect thalassemia gene variants.Additionally,a pedigree with the genotype ofαααanti4.2 compound-α3.7 variant was recruited,including the proband(Ⅱ-1),its father(Ⅰ-1),and mother(Ⅰ-2).PCR flow-through hybridization and SMRT were employed to detect thalassemia gene variants.Results SMRT detected 35 out of 36 samples with triplicated α-globin genes,and 1 sample with quadrupllcated α-globin genes(ααααanti4.2).Among the 2 αααanti4 2 compound αCSα variant samples,both αααanti42 and αCSα were arranged in trans,with a genotype of αααanti4.2/αCSα.Among the 10 αααanti4.2 compound-α3.7 variant samples,9 samples hadαααanti4.2 and-α3.7 in a cis arrangement,with a genotype of HKαα/αα,and 1 sample had αααannti4.2 and-α3.7 in a trans arrangement,with a genotype of αααanti4.2/-α3.7.Compared with PCR flow-through hybridization,SMRT detected one case of a large segment deletion in the β-globin gene and two unknown variants,which led to an increase in the positive detection rate of approximately 10.71％(3/28).The pedigree analysis showed that the proband(Ⅱ-1)inherited αααanti4.2 and-α3.7 variants from his mother(Ⅰ-2),with a genotype of HKαα/αα,con-sistent with the SMRT detection results.Conclusion SMRT can accurately detect triplicated or quadrupllcat-ed α-globin genes,and compound variant alleles.It offers high accuracy,enables one-step identification of cis or trans arrangements,and provides comprehensive coverage of thalassemia gene variations,demonstrating its significant clinical value.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of CGG repeat numbers in the FMR1 gene among reproductive-age women in China, providing data reference for carrier screening and genetic counseling of Fragile X syndrome. Methods:This cross-sectional study recruited 16 610 reproductive-age women from 12 medical institutions between July 2022 and October 2023. Peripheral venous blood samples (3 mL) were collected, and genomic DNA was extracted. The number of CGG repeats in the FMR1 gene was determined using the triplet-primed polymerase chain reaction (TP-PCR) combined with capillary electrophoresis technology. Statistical analyses were performed to assess the prevalence and distribution of CGG repeat expansions. Results:Among 16 610 women of childbearing age, 5 684 (34.220%) women had the same number of CGG repeats in the two alleles of FMR1 gene, and 10 926 (65.780%) women had different numbers of repeats in the two alleles. Among the 33 220 FMR1 alleles in 16 610 women of reproductive age, the most common CGG repeat numbers were 29 [48.645% (16 160/33 220)] and 30 [26.276% (8 729/33 220)], while the most frequent CGG genotype was CGG 29/29 [24.726% (4 107/16 610)]. The CGG repeat numbers of FMR1 gene were normal in 16 498 women (99.326%). Among the 112 women (0.674%) with CGG repeat abnormities, 96 (0.578%) women were classified as intermediate carriers, 15 (0.090%) as premutation carriers, and 1 (0.006%) as a full mutation carrier, whose CGG genotype was (36, >200). Conclusion:In the general reproductive-age female population in China, the normal CGG repeat numbers of the FMR1 gene account for 99.326%, while the intermediate carrier rate is 0.578%, and the combined carrier rate of the premutation and full mutation types is 0.096%.

Objective::To compare the analgesic effects of ibuprofen administered orally via two modes combined with a conventional, patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump on maternal pain after cesarean section (CS).Methods::This prospective, randomized, controlled study enrolled females who underwent CS from August 2022 to August 2023 at Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China. Participants were randomly assigned to either an as-needed ibuprofen group (300 mg orally upon request) or a scheduled ibuprofen group (300 mg every 12 hours for 48 hours). The primary outcomes assessed were postoperative pain levels using the Wong-Baker Faces Pain Scale-Revised and cumulative oxycodone consumption at multiple time points up to 48 hours post-delivery. Secondary outcomes included recovery parameters (time to first flatus, ambulation, and lactation initiation), patient satisfaction with pain control, and postpartum depression scores evaluated by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale on postoperative day 3. Normally distributed data analyzed with t-tests; non-normal data with Mann-Whitney U tests; categorical variables with chi-square or Fisher’s exact tests (SPSS 26.0, P < 0.05). Results::After excluding 61 non-eligible cases, 339 patients were included (171 as-needed vs. 168 scheduled). The scheduled group showed significantly better pain control at 12 hours (4.00 (2.00-5.50) vs. 4.00 (4.00-6.00), P < 0.001), 24 hours (4.00 (2.00-4.00) vs. 4.00 (2.00-6.00), P < 0.001), and 36 hours (2.00 (2.00-4.00) vs. 4.00 (2.00-4.00), P < 0.001), and 48 hours (2.00 (2.00-4.00) vs. 2.00 (2.00-4.00), P = 0.004) post-delivery and lower levels of oxycodone consumption at 36 hours (10.20 (8.20-13.35) vs. 11.00 (8.80-14.40), P = 0.042) and 48 hours (12.40 (10.40-15.95) vs. 13.80 (11.00-16.00), P = 0.020) postpartum compared with those in the as-needed group. Additionally, the time to the return of bowel movements was shorter in the scheduled group than in the as-needed group (23.50 (16.94, 31.47) vs. 27.00 (19.88, 35.97), P = 0.004). Differences in post-delivery ambulation, lactation initiation, satisfaction levels, and depression scores were not significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion::The results of this study promote the use of ibuprofen (scheduled oral administration) combined with a conventional, patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump for achieving better post-CS pain control than an as-needed dosage regimen.Registration::Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2400082474.

Purpose This study aims to analyze the clinical,pathological,and molecular genetic characteristics of nodal follicular helper T-cell lymphoma,follicular type(nTFHL-F).Methods 7 cases of nTFHL-F were re-viewed.Clinical data were collected,tissue morphology was summarized,and immunohistochemical staining and mo-lecular testing were performed.Results The median age of patients was 62 years with a male-to-female ratio of 6:1.The initial symptoms included neck lymphadenectasis in 6 cases and abdominal discomfort in one.Six cases were in ad-vanced stages,while 1 case was in the localized stage.The tumors exhibited a vague,irregular follicular nodular pat-tern,without significant polymorphic inflammatory background or high endothelial vascular proliferation.Five cases showed a progressive transformation resembling germinal center pattern,and two cases exhibited a follicular lymphoma-like growth pattern.Tumor cells presented three distinct morphologies:centrocyte-like appearance,monocytoid B cell-like appearance,and atypical cells with abundant,transparent cytoplasm.Tumor cells expressed at least three follicu-lar T-cell markers.Testing for ITK::SYK gene fusion was negative in all cases(0/7).Next generation sequencing i-dentified mutations in TET2 gene in two cases(2/2),the RHOA gene in one case(1/2),and VAV1 gene in one case(1/2).The follow-up duration ranged from 2 to 64 months,with three deaths(3/7),and a median survival time of 37 months.Conclusion nTFHL-F predominantly occurs in middle-aged to elderly males,presenting with advanced clinical stages,and has a poor prognosis.nTFHL-F is closely associated with nodal follicular helper T-cell lymphoma,angioimmunoblastic type,and mya coexist within the same individual.
