Dabuyuanjian is one of the classic famous formulas in the Catalog of Ancient Classic Famous Formulas (Second Batch)-Medicine of Han Ethnic Group. It consists of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, Dioscoreae Rhizoma, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Eucommiae Cortex, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, Corni Fructus, Lycii Fructus, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle, and is used to treat the symptoms of men and women who have a great loss of Qi and blood and a critical and dramatic loss of spiritual guardianship. This study reviewed the ancient and modern literature, and used literature tracing and bibliometrics methods to mine the key information of the historical origin, formula name, drug composition, compatibility, drug dosage, original plants and processing of drugs, decocting method, and clinical application of Dabuyuanjian. The results showed that Dabuyuanjian was first recorded in the Jing Yue's Collected Works (Jing Yue Quan Shu), with the dosage mainly following the original formula. According to the dosage in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the formula is composed of 5.60 g (for mild cases)/39.17 g (for severe cases) Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 7.46 g Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 9.32 g (for mild cases)/ 93.25 g (for severe cases) Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 7.46 g Eucommiae Cortex, 9.32 g Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3.73 g Corni Fructus, 9.32 g Lycii Fructus, and 5.60 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle. Regarding the original plants of drugs, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma is produced from the dried roots and rhizomes of Panax ginseng, Dioscoreae Rhizoma from stir-fried dried rhizomes of Dioscorea opposita, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata from steamed dried roots of Rehmannia glutinosa, Eucommiae Cortex from the dried bark of Eucommia ulmoides, Angelicae Sinensis Radix from the dried roots of Angelica sinensis, Corni Fructus from the dried mature fruit flesh of Cornus officinalis, Lycii Fructus from the dried mature fruits of Lycium barbarum, and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata cum Melle from the honey-processed dried roots and rhizomes of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. These medicinal materials are decocted in 400 mL water to reach a volume of 140 mL, and the decoction should be taken 1 h after meals, 2-3 doses per day. Dabuyuanjian has a wide range of clinical applications, including gynecological and obstetrical diseases, deficiency, baffling and panic, consumptive thirst, and blood, ear, nose, and throat diseases. In modern clinical practice, it is mainly used for diseases of the nervous system, gynecology, urinary system, cardiovascular system, digestive system, musculoskeletal system, connective tissue, immune system, blood, and men. Through the review of ancient and modern literature, this study sorted out the historical evolution and mined the key information of Dabuyuanjian, aiming to provide a theoretical reference for safe and effective clinical application and subsequent research and development of this formula.

Liumotang comes from the Yuan dynasty's Effective Prescription Handed Down for Generations of Physicians. It is composed of six medicinal materials: Arecae Semen, Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum, Aucklandiae Radix, Linderae Radix, Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, and Aurantii Fructus. It is a classical formula for treating abdominal pain due to Qi stagnation and constipation accompanied by heat. This study systematically collated the records of Liumotang in ancient medical books and modern clinical literature and conducted in-depth analysis and textual research on its formula source, main diseases, composition, dosage, medical books, container capacity, processing, preparation method, usage, drug basis, formula meaning, and other key information, so as to provide a powerful reference for the development and clinical application of compound preparations of the classical formula Liumotang. The results show that Liumotang was first seen in Effective Prescription Handed Down for Generations of Physicians, and many medical books of the past dynasties have imitated this. In terms of drug basis, the dried and mature seeds of the palm plant Areca catechu, resin-containing wood of the Daphneaceae plant Aquilaria sinensis, the dried roots of the Asteraceae plant woody Aucklandia lappa, the dried tuber root of the Lauraceae plant Lindera aggregata, the dried roots and rhizomes of the knotweed plant, R. palmatum, R.tangutikum, and R. officinale, and the dried and unripe fruits of the citrus genus C. aurantium and its cultivated varieties from the family Rutaceae were selected. In terms of dosage, through the textual research on bowls in the Ming and Qing dynasties, combined with the conversion of medicines and bowl capacity in the Qing dynasty, it was estimated that the dosage of each drug in the Yuan dynasty was 10.86 g. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the dosage of drugs was mostly equal, but the dosage of drugs was somewhat different. In terms of processing, preparation method, and usage, in the medical books of the past dynasties, the processing of drugs has slightly changed, but raw drugs are used in all preparations. The preparation method and usage did not change much during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, except for certain differences in dosage. In terms of syndrome, Liumotang was first used to treat abdominal pain due to Qi stagnation and constipation accompanied by heat. Medical books of the past dynasties often omit the symptoms of heat. In modern clinical practice, Liumotang is mainly used in the digestive system and urinary system diseases and is mostly used to treat constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome, biliary reflux gastritis, functional constipation, slow transit constipation, and other diseases, with no adverse reactions found yet. The above results provide a reliable scientific basis for the development and clinical treatment of Liumotang compound preparations.

Objective:
To conduct a scoping review on the types, construction methods and predictive performance of health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods, so as to provide the reference for the improvement and application of such models.
Methods:
Publications on health literacy prediction models conducted using machine learning methods were retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed and Web of Science from inception to May 1, 2024. The quality of literature was assessed using the Prediction Model Risk of Bias ASsessment Tool. Basic characteristics, modeling methods, data sources, missing value handling, predictors and predictive performance were reviewed.
Results:
A total of 524 publications were retrieved, and 22 publications between 2007 and 2024 were finally enrolled. Totally 48 health literacy prediction models were involved, and 25 had a high risk of bias (52.08%), with major issues focusing on missing value handling, predictor selection and model evaluation methods. Modeling methods included regression models, tree-based machine learning methods, support vector machines and neural network models. Predictors primarily encompassed factors at four aspects: individual, interpersonal, organizational and society/policy aspects, with age, educational level, economic status, health status and internet use appearing frequently. Internal validation was conducted in 14 publications, and external validation was conducted in 4 publications. Forty-two models reported the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve, which ranged from 0.52 to 0.983, indicating good discrimination.
Conclusion
Health literacy prediction models based on machine learning methods perform well, but have deficiencies in risk of bias, data processing and validation.

Objective:
To investigate the characteristics and trend of stroke incidence in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province from 2016 to 2023, so as to provide the reference for formulating prevention and control strategies of stroke.
Methods:
Data of stroke case in Yixing City from 2016 to 2023 were collected from the National Health Information Platform of Yixing City, including sex, age, time of onset, and diagnostic subtypes. Crude incidence was standardized using the data from the 2010 Chinese National Population Census to analyze the characteristics of stroke incidence. The incidence trend of stroke was analyzed by average annual percent change (AAPC).
Results:
A total of 54 157 stroke cases were reported in Yixing City from 2016 to 2023, with a crude incidence of 629.52/100 000 and a standardized incidence of 299.50/100 000, showing an upward trend (AAPC=9.744% and 5.955%, both P<0.05). The crude and standardized incidence of stroke in males were significantly higher than those in females (695.30/100 000 vs. 565.79/100 000, 328.73/100 000 vs. 270.71/100 000, both P<0.05). Stroke incidence exhibited an age-dependent increase (P<0.05), peaking in the ≥60 years age group (1 820.43/100 000). The crude and standardized incidence of ischemic stroke (555.46/100 000 and 262.26/100 000) were significantly higher than those of hemorrhagic stroke (52.80/100 000 and 28.03/100 000, both P<0.05). From 2016 to 2023, the standardized incidences of stroke in males, females, the 0-<40 years age group, the 40-<60 years age group, the ≥60 years age group, and ischemic stroke all showed an upward trend (AAPC=6.692%, 4.925%, 5.607%, 5.777%, 5.698%, and 8.481%, respectively, all P<0.05). No significant temporal trend was observed for hemorrhagic stroke incidence (P>0.05).
Conclusions
The incidence of stroke among residents in Yixing City showed an upward trend from 2016 to 2023, with males and elderly individuals being high-risk populations. Ischemic stroke emerged as the predominant subtype, while a concerning trend of increasing stroke incidence among younger adults was observed.

ObjectiveTo examine the public cognition, preferences, and values regarding organ allocation, thereby enhancing the public trust in China’s organ allocation system and providing a theoretical basis for human organ allocation in China. MethodsBy drawing on foreign questionnaires and finalizing the questionnaire after two rounds of expert discussion and evaluation, a nationwide online survey was conducted to investigate the Chinese public’s cognition, attitudes, and preferences towards organ allocation. ResultsNearly half of the respondents reported that they had only heard of (45.44%) or had never heard of (46.90%) the Organ Procurement Organizations (OPOs). Most respondents expressed limited understanding of China’s organ allocation policy (68.42%) or specific procedures (67.89%). Only 9.65% of respondents expressed strong support for the current organ allocation policy, while 75.76% indicated that national allocation policies would influence their willingness or decision to donate organs. The public showed stronger endorsement of the principles of “prioritizing the sickest,” “first-come, first-served,” and “prioritizing those with better prognosis” for organ allocation. There were statistically significant differences in the public cognition, attitudes, and preferences for organ allocation by gender, age, education level, and occupation (all P<0.05). ConclusionThe Chinese public’s cognition regarding organ allocation is generally low, and their willingness to donate organs is not high. The public attitude towards organ allocation policy remains unclear and is still in a “wait-and-see” state; the public prefers an ethical distribution model that balances fairness and efficiency. Increasing the public understanding of organ allocation procedures and incorporating public opinion into national organ allocation guidelines could play a significant role in enhancing public willingness to donate organs.

This article briefly introduces the new concept of burnout and the new burnout assessment tool BAT. In the past, the most famous burnout definition was proposed by Maslach and Leiter. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) developed by Maslach has also been the gold standard for evaluating burnout. With the development of burnout research, the concept of burnout has a certain defect. MBI has also been criticized in conceptual, practical and psychological measurement. It may hinder new research, and urgently needs to improve the concept and evaluation of burnout. Therefore, Schaufeli redefined the concept of burnout, and developed a new burnout assessment tool for groups and individuals based on the new concept of burnout-Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT) . This paper systematically reviews the proposal of the new concept of burnout, the development of the BAT scale and its application at home and abroad, and analyzes the advantages and application prospects of the BAT scale.

Objective:To verify the reliability and validity of the short version of the Chinese version of the new Burnout Assessment Tool (12 items version of Burnout Assessment Tool, BAT-12) .Methods:From October to December 2023, the cluster sampling method was adopted, and the Chinese version of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) and the BAT-12 scale were used simultaneously. A questionnaire survey was conducted among enterprise employees (4329 people) in Shanghai and Guangdong Province. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis and other methods were employed to analyze its reliability (internal consistency reliability and combination reliability) and validity (structural validity, convergent validity, discriminative validity and criterion validity) .Results:A total of 4329 questionnaires were retrieved, among which 4086 were valid, with an effective recovery rate of 94.39%. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the Chinese version of the BAT-12 total scale was 0.956, and the combination reliability coefficients of each dimension ranged from 0.914 to 0.952. The scale contained 12 items, and 4 common factors were extracted from exploratory factor analysis, including exhaustion, mental distance, cognitive impairment, and emotional impairment. The cumulative variance contribution rate reached 86.63%. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that both the four-factor correlation model and the second-order model were ideally fitted overall, with the four-factor correlation model having the best data fit (comparative fit index 0.972, Tuker-Lewis fit index 0.962, root mean square error of approximation 0.064, and standardized root mean square residual 0.033). The average variance extracted (AVE) of each dimension of the scale ranged from 0.780 to 0.868, and the square roots of AVE (0.883 to 0.932) were all greater than their Pearson correlation coefficients (0.630 to 0.850). The Pearson correlation coefficient between BAT-12 and MBI-GS was 0.787 ( P<0.001) . Conclusion:The Chinese version of the BAT-12 scale demonstrates strong internal consistency and combination reliability, with excellent reliability. Its four-dimensional structure validity has been validated, with good convergent validity, discriminative validity, and ideal criterion validity, demonstrating excellent validity. The Chinese version of the BAT-12 scale can be used to measure the level of occupational burnout among Chinese employees.

Venetoclax (Ven) is now widely used for both acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) and high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), yet there is no consensus on salvage regimens after Ven failure. This study retrospectively evaluated the efficacy and safety of selinexor combined with subcutaneous decitabine (DAC) in 10 patients with AML or MDS with excess blasts (MDS-EB1/2) who had experienced prior Ven treatment failure. A literature review was also performed. Among the 7 patients with AML, 1 achieved complete remission (CR), 2 achieved CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), 1 achieved partial remission (PR), 2 had no remission, and 1 experienced disease progression (PD). Among the 3 patients with MDS, 2 achieved marrow CR and 1 had stable disease (SD). The median duration of response among the 6 responding patients was 2 months (range, 0.5-6 months). All 10 patients experienced varying degrees of myelosuppression. Five patients had mild gastrointestinal reactions, all of which were manageable. The overall tolerability was good, and no treatment-related deaths occurred. These findings suggest that selinexor combined with subcutaneous decitabine offers a novel and well-tolerated therapeutic option for patients with myeloid malignancies who have previously failed venetoclax-based therapy.

Human naïve pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) hold great promise for embryonic development studies. Existing induction and culture strategies for these cells, heavily dependent on MEK inhibitors, lead to widespread DNA hypomethylation, aberrant imprinting loss, and genomic instability during extended culture. Here, employing high-content analysis alongside a bifluorescence reporter system indicative of human naïve pluripotency, we screened over 1,600 chemicals and identified seven promising candidates. From these, we developed four optimized media-LAY, LADY, LUDY, and LKPY-that effectively induce and sustain PSCs in the naïve state. Notably, cells reset or cultured in these media, especially in the LAY system, demonstrate improved genome-wide DNA methylation status closely resembling that of pre-implantation counterparts, with partially restored imprinting and significantly enhanced genomic stability. Overall, our study contributes advancements to naïve pluripotency induction and long-term maintenance, providing insights for further applications of naïve PSCs.
