ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of salt processing of Psoraleae Fructus （PF） through modern analytical techniques and biotechnology， focusing on its effects related to hepatotoxicity and anti-osteoporosis activity. MethodsThe zebrafish model was utilized to evaluate the impact of PF and salt-processed Psoraleae Fructus （SPF） on the hepatotoxicity （using 134.17 ， 178.89， 268.34 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of PF， 135.04， 180.06， 270.08 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of SPF， respectively） and anti-osteoporotic activity （using 33.54 ， 67.08 and 134.17 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of PF， 33.76， 67.52， 135.04 mg·L^-1 as low， medium， and high dose groups of SPF， respectively）， which was using alizarin red skull staining of zebrafish as an indicator of different batches of PF. The specific dosage of a batch of PF was taken as an example. Then ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight-mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS） analysis was employed to identify the chemical composition of PF before and after salt processing， and PCA， OPLS-DA， and independent sample t-test were used to elucidating the compositional changes associated with the effects of salt processing on hepatotoxicity and anti-osteoporosis activity. ResultsUnder specific conditions， PF induced notable hepatotoxicity in zebrafish while simultaneously demonstrating protective effect against prednisolone-induced osteoporosis. In comparison to PF， SPF showed alleviated hepatotoxicity while retaining significant anti-osteoporosis activity. UPLC-Q-TOF-MS analysis revealed that after salt processing， the overall chemical composition of PF showed a downward trend， with 69 components showing a decrease in content， represented by psoralen， and 13 components showing an increase， represented by 4′-O-methyl psoralen B. Further multivariate statistical analysis revealed 11 key differential components before and after salt processing of PF， including psoralen and bakuchiol. ConclusionSalt processing effectively diminishes hepatotoxicity without impairing therapeutic efficacy against osteoporosis of PF， which may be related to the compositional changes before and after salt processing of PF and provides key evidence to reveal the scientific significance of salt processing of PF.

With the deepening of population aging， the number of disabled and semi-disabled elderly individuals continues to increase， and the ethical care issues of mental health services for the disabled elderly are becoming increasingly prominent. When examining ethical issues， the concept of the “holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine” from ancient Chinese traditional culture was explored. While applying theories from the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine， such as “the unity of form and spirit” and “the integration of form and spirit，” emphasis should be placed on the organic integration of psychology and physiology. The mental health status of the disabled elderly can be comprehensively improved by addressing both internal and external environmental factors. In response to the current situation of mental health services for the disabled elderly， ethical care should be provided for the mental health services of the disabled elderly， focusing on the value of subjectivity， difference， and continuity in ethical care， thereby improving the mental health status of the disabled elderly.

[Objective]To provide reference and beneficial assistance for the construction of contemporary medical ethics through studying the inherent requirements of Neo Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties,revealing its shaping role in the internal drive of medical ethics,the path of medical ethics cultivation,the goals of medical ethics and medical ethics ideas.[Methods]Systematically review the relevant discussions and moral practices of medical ethics by physicians under the influence of Neo Confucianism in the Song and Ming dynasties.Examine the shaping methods and processes of traditional Chinese medicine medical ethics in ancient China,study the core content of internal drive of medical ethics,key requirements of medical ethics cultivation path,practical approaches to medical ethics goals and fundamental principles of medical ethics thought.[Results]After the Song Dynasty,traditional Chinese medicine ethics was a value system centered on Neo Confucianism.Under the infiltration of Neo Confucianism's ideas such as"understanding benevolenc""filial piety is the foundation of benevolence""understanding the body and applying it""the concept of reason desire",ancient Chinese medicine gradually formed moral emotions such as"promoting oneself and others""knowing medicine for filial piety""practicing practical skills""benefiting the world and living people".[Conclusion]Ancient medical ethics still shine with the radiance of human nature in today's society.By setting a moral example,it guides medical personnel to form a moral standard of"medicine is benevolent"and"not seeking benefits,disregarding achievements".Neo Confucianism still has a positive guiding role today.Injecting the ideas of"benevolence""filial piety""practical application""rational desire"into the contemporary medical ethics construction system can help to build a new era of medical ethics system and promote the achievement of the strategic goal"Healthy China".

Objective:To investigate the clinical benefit and application value of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system through bilateral axillary areolar approach in cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.Methods:The clinical data of 117 patients with thyroid cancer admitted to the thyroid and breast surgery Department of the 960th Hospital of the Chinese PLA Joint Logistic Support Force from January 2018 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 55 males and 62 females, aged from 17 to 64 years, with an average age of (36.05±8.77) years. According to body mass index (BMI), patients were divided into normal group (18.5 kg/m 2≤BMI< 24 kg/m 2, n=60) and obese group (BMI≥28 kg/m 2, n=57). Gender, age, BMI, operation time, postoperative drainage fluid volume, tumor diameter, central lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, cervical lymph node dissection and number of metastasis, postoperative hospital stay, postoperative aesthetic satisfaction score and surgical complications of the two groups were analyzed. SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used to analyze the data. Results:All of patients completed the operation successfully, and neither group was transferred to open surgery. The BMI of obese group was higher than that of normal group [(31.35±3.08) kg/m 2vs (22.53±0.82) kg/m 2, t=20.97, P<0.05]. The maximum tumor diameter in the obese group was greater than that in the normal group [(13.81±10.70) mm vs (10.42±5.53) mm, t=2.17, P<0.05]. There were no significant differences in operation time, number of central lymph node dissection and metastasis, number of cervical lymph node dissection and metastasis and postoperative complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Utilization of the Da Vinci robotic surgical system via the BABA approach demonstrates both safety and feasibility in obese patients with thyroid carcinoma undergoing lateral cervical lymph node dissection. Importantly, this technique does not increase the risk of surgical complications, thus providing a novel alternative for lateral cervical lymph node dissection in obese thyroid carcinoma patients.

Objective:To analyze the risk factors of clinically significant bleeding in patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:The clinical data of SAP patients who were managed at Changhai Hospital affiliated to Naval Medical University from January 1, 2014 to October 31, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty-nine SAP patients with clinically significant bleeding were classified to form the bleeding group. There were 23 males and 6 females, aged (56.25±14.01) years old. Another 116 SAP patients with similar general data but with no clinically significant bleeding during the same hospitalization period were included to form the non-bleeding group based on a ratio of 1∶4. There were 94 males and 22 females, aged (56.14±13.96) years old in this non-bleeding group. The general data, modified CT severity index (MCTSI), bedside index for severity of acute pancreatitis (BISAP) and other clinical data of the two groups were collected to determine the risk factors of bleeding in SAP patients.Results:Of the 29 patients with bleeding, 6 had gastrointestinal bleeding, 14 had intra-abdominal bleeding, and 9 had mixed bleeding sites, 15 were cured and discharged, and 14 died. All the 29 SAP patients with bleeding received treatment using drugs. In addition, 8 patients underwent successful hemostasis using digital subtraction angiography, 3 underwent successful endoscopic hemostasis, 2 underwent successful surgical hemostasis, and 2 underwent successful conservative drug hemostasis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SAP patients with higher MCTSI ( OR=1.824, 95% CI: 1.187-2.802), longer prothrombin time (PT) ( OR=3.431, 95% CI: 1.470-8.007) and higher BISAP ( OR=2.286, 95% CI: 1.054-4.957) had an increased risk of bleeding (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The prognosis of SAP patients was compromised with bleeding. High MCTSI, prolonged PT, and high BISAP were independent risk factors for bleeding in SAP patients.

Objective:To observe any effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (p-ERK1/2) and phosphorylated cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element binding protein (p-CREB) in the spinal dorsal horns of diabetics experiencing neuropathic pain.Methods:Eight rats were randomly selected from 30 healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats as the normal group (N), and the remaining twenty-two rats were treated with a single high-dose intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) to establish a neuropathic pain model. The rats modeled successfully were randomly divided into a model group (M, n=8) and an EA group ( n=8). In the EA group, electroacupuncture was applied at the bilateral Hou san li and Kunlun acupoints starting on the 15th day after the STZ injection. The daily sessions lasted 30 minutes for 1 week. Body weight (BW), fasting blood glucose (FBG) and paw withdrawal latency (PWL) were observed before the STZ injection and on the 7th, 14th, and 21st days afterward. The expression of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB in the dorsal horns of the rats′ spinal cords was detected using western blotting. The count of p-CREB-positive cells in the dorsal horns and their co-localization with neurons was detected using immunofluorescence. Results:In comparison with the N group, the average BW of the M group on the 7th, 14th and 21st days after the STZ injection was significantly lower, while the average FBG was significantly higher. There was no significant difference between the M and N groups in the average PWL on the 7th day after the STZ injection, but it had decreased significantly in the M group on the 14th and 21st days. Compared with the M group, the average PWL of the EA group was significantly longer on the 21st day after the injection. The expression of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB protein in the spines of the M group was significantly higher than in the N group. p-CREB positive cells were more numerous in the M group compared with the N group, while in the EA group they were fewer. P-CREB was co-located with neurons in the spinal dorsal horn.Conclusion:EA can alleviate neuropathic pain effectively, perhaps by inhibiting the expression of p-ERK1/2 and p-CREB in the dorsal horns of the spinal cord.
