OBJECTIVE To form an expert consensus on the clinical application of parenteral direct thrombin inhibitors （DTIs） in patients during the perioperative period. METHODS Led by Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital （the Affiliated Hospital of UESTC）， a multidisciplinary working group was established. Through literature review and the Delphi method， clinical questions related to the rational perioperative use of parenteral DTIs were identified. A structured design was adopted using the “Population-Intervention-Comparison-Outcome” framework； systematic searches were conducted in CNKI， Medline， Embase and other databases. Relevant evidence from randomized controlled trials and cohort studies was included and synthesized. Evidence quality was assessed using the Grades of Recommendations Assessment，Development and Evaluation （GRADE） approach， and recommendations were formulated through multiple rounds of Delphi surveys and expert consensus meetings. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS Seven recommendations （each with an expert consensus rate exceeding 90%） on the use of parenteral DTIs in perioperative patients were developed. These recommendations specify drug selection， dosing ranges， key monitoring points， and safety management strategies for parenteral DTIs in various scenarios， including the perioperative period of ventricular assist device implantation， the perioperative period of cardiac surgery， perioperative patients with lower-extremity atherosclerotic disease， the perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with acute coronary syndrome， the perioperative period of carotid artery stenting in patients with carotid stenosis， the perioperative period of patients with right heart thrombosis， and patients who develop related thrombosis and dysfunction after a central venous catheter insertion. In addition， warning and management pathways for perioperative bleeding and thrombotic events were proposed. This expert consensus， which is formulated based on the best available evidence， provides evidence-based guidance for standardized and individualized use of parenteral DTIs in perioperative period.

Based on the modern understanding that lipid metabolism disorders mediate tumor microenvironmental imbalance in esophageal carcinoma， this paper proposes that failure of spleen and kidney warming and internal accumulation of phlegm-toxin constitute the core pathogenesis of esophageal carcinoma. Deficiency of spleen and kidney yang qi serves as the root cause， while impaired transformation and transportation of lipids and the accumulation of phlegm-toxin represent the superficial manifestations. Phlegm originates from the transformation of lipids， while toxin arises from and attaches to phlegm. Their interaction forms a sticky and persistent pathological state that runs throughout the entire disease process. The evolution of pathogenesis follows a dynamic and progressive pattern. In the early stage， failure of spleen and kidney warming and dysfunction of lipid metabolism mediate abnormalities in a lipid-enriched microenvironment； in the middle stage， lipid turbidity condenses into phlegm， and phlegm-toxin stasis promotes the formation of an inflammatory and hypercoagulable microenvironment； in the late stage， dysfunction of the sanjiao （三焦） warming function and impaired qi transformation lead to an imbalance in the hypoxic and metabolically dysfunctional microenvironment. Accordingly， a staged therapeutic approach is proposed， including warming the kidney and strengthening the spleen， transforming phlegm and resolving toxin， and warming and unblocking the sanjiao. By regulating lipid metabolism to restore tumor microenvironmental homeostasis， this approach provides a new theore-tical perspective and practical strategy for the intervention of esophageal cancer progression through traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective: To investigate the infectious disease investigation and response capabilities of grassroots Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Zhejiang Province, so as to provide a reference for strengthening the development of CDC workforce. Methods: From May to June 2024, professional technical personnel engaged in or participating in on-site epidemiological investigation and response from 11 municipal-level CDC and 91 county-level CDC in Zhejiang Province were selected as survey participants. Data on sociodemographic information, outbreak response experience, and infectious disease investigation capabilities were collected using the National Questionnaire on the Current Status of Field Epidemiology Investigation Teams. Results: A total of 2 316 individuals were surveyed, including 459 from municipal-leve CDC (19.82%) and 1 857 from county-level CDC (80.18%). The cohort was predominantly female, aged 30-<40 years, with a bachelor's degree, specialized in public health and preventive medicine, holding intermediate professional titles, and having <10 years of work experience, accounting for 55.79%, 36.44%, 72.88%, 74.18%, 34.72%, and 53.76%, respectively. A relatively high proportion of participants had experience in on-site infectious disease response (81.39%), been members of field epidemiology investigation teams or emergency response teams responsible for field epidemiology investigation (81.17%), and had prior work experience in infectious disease-related departments (66.80%). In contrast, the proportion of those who had delivered academic presentations on field epidemiology investigations (4.15%) or contributed to the development of expert consensus documents, guidelines, or textbooks (8.51%). The total score for infectious disease investigation and response capabilities among field epidemiologists investigators in grassroots CDC in Zhejiang Province was 53.19±16.19, with dimension scores of 65.15±13.90 for personal comprehensive competence, 59.75±20.77 for outbreak investigation procedures, and 28.65±19.32 for essential epidemiological investigation skills. Conclusions The grassroots field epidemiology investigation teams in Zhejiang Province have developed a certain level of workforce capacity and outbreak response experience. However, they generally exhibit relatively short work tenures, limited academic outputs, and moderate-to-low proficiency in infectious disease investigation and management, particularly with notable gaps in critical field investigation skills. It is recommended to strengthen systematic training and practical exercises to enhance grassroots emergency response capabilities.

Parkinson's disease（PD） is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world， which seriously affects the lives of patients. With the acceleration of aging process， the number of patients continues to rise. Its main pathological features are aggregation of α-synuclein and degenerative death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. However， the pathogenesis of PD is still unclear. According to reports， the brain-derived neurotrophic factor（BDNF）/tyrosine kinase receptor B（TrkB） signaling pathway is highly expressed and activated in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra， which is closely related to neurophysiological processes such as neurogenesis， synaptic plasticity， neuroinflammation， and oxidative stress. It plays an important role in the occurrence and development of PD. At present， the treatment methods of Western medicine for PD are mainly based on drugs such as levodopa and dopamine agonists to alleviate motor symptoms， but with the increase of dose， the adverse reactions are significantly enhanced. Traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） has attracted people to explore its therapeutic effects on PD due to its characteristics of homology of medicine and food， economy， minor adverse reactions and multi-target action. Therefore， this paper systematically reviews the role of BNDF/TrkB pathway in the pathogenesis of PD and the mechanism of TCM formulas， extracts and monomers in the treatment of PD by regulating the BNDF/TrkB pathway according to retrieving the latest research reports at home and abroad， so as to provide a reference for the clinical application of related TCM and the development of new drugs for PD.

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-185-5p-mediated targeted negative regulation of transmembrane 9 superfamily member 1(TM9SF1)on proliferation,migration and autophagy in lung adenocarcinoma cells.Methods The expression of miR-185-5p in lung adenocarcinoma tissues was analyzed using dataset GSE51853 downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO)database.Potential target proteins of miR-185-5p were predicted using online databases(miRTargetLink,miRTarbase,and DIANA-microT-CD),and autophagy-related proteins were obtained from HADb.The intersected results from these four databases was identified,and survival curves of vascular endothelial growth factor A(VEGFA)and TM9SF1 within the overlapping candidates were analyzed using the StarBase database.TM9SF1 3'UTR wild-type(WT)or TM9SF1 3'UTR mutant(MUT)reporter plasmids were separately co-transfected with miR-185-5p control plasmid(CON)or miR-185-5p overexpression plasmid(over-miR-185-5p)into HEK-293T cells.A dual-luciferase reporter gene assay was employed to assess the binding interaction between miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 and quantify the subsequent luciferase activity.Western blotting was used to assess TM9SF1 protein expression levels in A549 cells transfected with over-miR-185-5p.A549 cells were divided into three groups:(1)CON+NC group,co-transfected with miR-185-5p control plasmid and TM9SF1 control plasmid;(2)over-miR-185-5p+NC group,co-transfected with over-miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 control plasmid;(3)over-miR-185-5p+over-TM9SF1 group,co-transfected with both miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 overexpression plasmids.EdU cell proliferation assay,wound healing assay,and Transwell migration assay were performed to validate the effects of miR-185-5p targeted binding to TM9SF1 on proliferation and migration capacities in lung adenocarcinoma.Changes in autophagic flux and mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)of lung adenocarcinoma cells were detected using stubRFP-sensGFP-LC3 lentivirus and JC-1 assays,respectively.Results In the GSE51853 dataset,miR-185-5p expression level was significantly lower in lung adenocarcinoma tissues compared with normal lung tissues(P<0.01).qRT-PCR analysis revealed that miR-185-5p expression was downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma cell lines NCI-H1299 and A549 compared with normal lung epithelial cells BEAS-2B(P<0.01).Bioinformatics predictions using miRTargetLink,miRTarbase,DIANA-microT-CD,and HADb databases indicated that miR-185-5p could target and regulate the autophagy-related protein TM9SF1.Dual-luciferase reporter assays and Western blotting demonstrated that miR-185-5p directly bound to the 3'UTR region of TM9SF1 mRNA,and overexpression of miR-185-5p significantly reduced the expression of target protein TM9SF1(P<0.05).EdU cell proliferation,wound healing,and Transwell migration assays demonstrated that miR-185-5p overexpression inhibited proliferation and migration capacities of lung adenocarcinoma cells,whereas TM9SF1 overexpression could attenuate this inhibition effect(P<0.05).Results of stubRFP-sensGFP-LC3 for autophagic flux analysis demonstrated that overexpression of miR-185-5p enhanced autophagic flux in A549 cells,whereas co-overexpression of miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 suppressed autophagic flux.JC-1 assays showed a decreased MMP level in A549 cells after miR-185-5p overexpression,with higher MMP level observed when miR-185-5p and TM9SF1 were co-overexpressed.Conclusion miR-185-5p may suppress proliferation,migration,and autophagy capacities in lung adenocarcinoma cells by targeting TM9SF1 through negative regulation.

Emodin is a hydroxyanthraquinone compound that is widely distributed and has multiple pharmacological activities, including anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, and liver-protective effects. Research indicates that emodin may be one of the main components responsible for inducing hepatotoxicity. However, studies on the mechanisms of liver injury are relatively limited, particularly those related to bile acids(BAs) metabolism. This study aims to systematically investigate the effects of different dosages of emodin on BAs metabolism, providing a basis for the safe clinical use of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)containing emodin. First, this study evaluated the safety of repeated administration of different dosages of emodin over a 5-week period, with a particular focus on its impact on the liver. Next, the composition and content of BAs in serum and liver were analyzed. Subsequently, qRT-PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression of nuclear receptors and transporters related to BAs metabolism. The results showed that 1 g·kg~(-1) emodin induced hepatic damage, with bile duct hyperplasia as the primary pathological manifestation. It significantly increased the levels of various BAs in the serum and primary BAs(including taurine-conjugated and free BAs) in the liver. Additionally, it downregulated the mRNA expression of farnesoid X receptor(FXR), retinoid X receptor(RXR), and sodium taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide(NTCP), and upregulated the mRNA expression of cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase(CYP7A1) in the liver. Although 0.01 g·kg~(-1) and 0.03 g·kg~(-1) emodin did not induce obvious liver injury, they significantly increased the level of taurine-conjugated BAs in the liver, suggesting a potential interference with BAs homeostasis. In conclusion, 1 g·kg~(-1) emodin may promote the production of primary BAs in the liver by affecting the FXR-RXR-CYP7A1 pathway, inhibit NTCP expression, and reduce BA reabsorption in the liver, resulting in BA accumulation in the peripheral blood. This disruption of BA homeostasis leads to liver injury. Even doses of emodin close to the clinical dose can also have a certain effect on the homeostasis of BAs. Therefore, when using traditional Chinese medicine or formulas containing emodin in clinical practice, it is necessary to regularly monitor liver function indicators and closely monitor the risk of drug-induced liver injury.

This study aims to explore the mechanism of Buyang Huanwu Decoction(BHD) in promoting angiogenesis after oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R) of mouse brain microvascular endothelial cell line(brain-derived Endothelial cells.3, bEnd.3) based on the caveolin-1(Cav1)/Yes-associated protein 1(YAP1)/hypoxia-inducible factor-1α(HIF-1α) signaling pathway. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UPLC-Q-TOF-MS) was used to analyze the blood components of BHD. The cell counting kit-8(CCK-8) method was used to detect the optimal intervention concentration of drug-containing serum of BHD after OGD/R injury of bEnd.3. The lentiviral transfection method was used to construct a Cav1 silent stable strain, and Western blot and polymerase chain reaction(PCR) methods were used to verify the silencing efficiency. The control bEnd.3 cells were divided into a normal group(sh-NC control group), an OGD/R model + blank serum group(sh-NC OGD/R group), and an OGD/R model + drug-containing serum group(sh-NC BHD group). Cav1 silent cells were divided into an OGD/R model + blank serum group(sh-Cav1 OGD/R group) and an OGD/R model + drug-containing serum group(sh-Cav1 BHD group). The cell survival rate was detected by the CCK-8 method. The cell migration ability was detected by a cell migration assay. The lumen formation ability was detected by an angiogenesis assay. The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry, and the expression of YAP1/HIF-1α signaling pathway-related proteins in each group was detected by Western blot. Finally, co-immunoprecipitation was used to verify the interaction between YAP1 and HIF-1α. The results showed astragaloside Ⅳ, formononetin, ferulic acid, and albiflorin in BHD can all enter the blood. The drug-containing serum of BHD at a mass fraction of 10% may be the optimal intervention concentration for OGD/R-induced injury of bEnd.3 cells. Compared with the sh-NC control group, the sh-NC OGD/R group showed significantly decreased cell survival rate, cell migration rate, mesh number, node number, and lumen length, significantly increased cell apoptotic rate, significantly lowered phosphorylation level of YAP1 at S127 site, and significantly elevated nuclear displacement level of YAP1 and protein expression of HIF-1α, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF), and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2(VEGFR2). Compared with the same type of OGD/R group, the sh-NC BHD group and sh-Cav1 BHD group had significantly increased cell survival rate, cell migration rate, mesh number, node number, and lumen length, a significantly decreased cell apoptotic rate, a further decreased phosphorylation level of YAP1 at S127 site, and significantly increased nuclear displacement level of YAP1 and protein expression of HIF-1α, VEGF, and VEGFR2. Compared with the sh-NC OGD/R group, the sh-Cav1 OGD/R group exhibited significantly decreased cell survival rate, cell migration rate, mesh number, node number, and lumen length, a significantly increased cell apoptotic rate, a significantly increased phosphorylation level of YAP1 at S127 site, and significantly decreased nuclear displacement level of YAP1 and protein expression of HIF-1α, VEGF, and VEGFR2. Compared with the sh-NC BHD group, the sh-Cav1 BHD group showed significantly decreased cell survival rate, cell migration rate, mesh number, node number, and lumen length, a significantly increased cell apoptotic rate, a significantly increased phosphorylation level of YAP1 at the S127 site, and significantly decreased nuclear displacement level of YAP1 and protein expression of HIF-1α, VEGF, and VEGFR2. YAP1 protein was present in the protein complex precipitated by the HIF-1α antibody, and HIF-1α protein was also present in the protein complex precipitated by the YAP1 antibody. The results confirmed that the drug-containing serum of BHD can increase the activity of YAP1/HIF-1α pathway in bEnd.3 cells damaged by OGD/R through Cav1 and promote angiogenesis in vitro.

Objective: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of dengue fever outbreaks in schools from Guangzhou in 2024, so as to provide a reference for formulating targeted prevention and control policies and measures. Methods: By using the National Infectious Disease Surveillance Information Reporting Management System to obtain information on dengue fever cases in Guangzhou from January 1st to December 31st, 2024. Descriptive data analysis was conducted on the temporal distribution, regional distribution, and school distribution of dengue fever outbreaks in schools. A mediation effect model was used to analyze the mediating effect of the time between onset and reporting between the type of school and the occurrence of recurrent cases. Results: In 2024,12.41% (385 cases) of dengue fever cases in Guangzhou involved schools, with 300 schools affected. Among these, 16 schools (5.33%) reported cluster outbreaks, and 24 schools (8.00%) reported secondary cases. The first dengue case at the school was reported at 26 July and the last case was reported at 4 December, the peak reporting period for cases was October 7 to November 3. The incidence of secondary cases in schools in central urban areas (5.19%) was lower than that in suburban schools ( 17.39 %), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ 2=9.15, P <0.01). The time from onset to reporting partially mediated the relationship between school type and the occurrence of recurrent cases ( β=0.23, P <0.05), accounting for 21.50% of the total effect. Conclusions Dengue fever is a key infectious disease facing schools in Guangzhou during summer and autumn. Surveillance of dengue fever outbreaks in schools should be strengthened during the peak season to reduce the risk of cluster outbreaks and the occurrence of secondary cases.
