Objective Objective To analyze the potential spatial factors affecting the genetic differentiation of Oncomelania hupensis robertsoni in Yunnan Province. Methods A total of 13 administrative villages were selected from schistosomiasis-endemic areas of Yunnan Province as O. hupensis snail sampling sites. At least 200 snails were collected in each site, and the spatial variable data of each site were recorded, including longitude, latitude and altitude. Thirty active and Schistosoma japonicum uninfected O. hupensis snails were selected from each sampling site by means of the crawling method and the cercarial shedding method. Genomic DNA was extracted from O. hupensis snails. Following PCR amplification, purification of PCR amplification products and sequencing, the gene sequences of O. hupensis snail samples were spliced and edited using the DNAstar software and the NCBI database to yield the complete mitochondrial sequences of O. hupensis snails at each sampling site, and the mitochondrial genetic distance matrix of O. hupensis robertsoni was calculated at each sampling site. The geographical coordinates of each sampling site were marked using the software ArcGIS 10.2, and the straight-line geographical distance between each sampling site was calculated. The altitude difference, longitude difference and latitude difference between each sampling site were calculated using the Excel software, and the correlation between the mitochondrial genetic distance matrix of O. hupensis robertsoni and each spatial variable matrix was examined by using the Mantel test at 13 sampling sites in Yunnan Province. Results Among the 13 O. hupensis snail sampling sites in Yunnan Province, the largest mitochondrial genetic distance of O. hupensis robertsoni snail populations was seen between Anding Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Caizhuang Village, Midu County (26.244 2), and the largest geographical distance was seen between Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District and Cangling Village, Chuxiong County (272.64 km). The highest altitude difference was seen between Anding Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District (1 086.10 m), and the largest longitude difference was found between Qiandian Village, Eryuan County and Cangling Village, Chuxiong County (1.86°), while the largest latitude difference was measured between Leqiu Village, Nanjian Yi Autonomous County and Dongyuan Village, Gucheng District (1.81°). In addition, the mitochondrial genetic distance of O. hupensis robertsoni snail populations was positively correlated with altitude at 13 snail sampling sites in Yunnan Province (r = 0.542 8, P < 0.001), and showed no significant correlations with geographical distance (r = 0.093 4, P > 0.05), longitude (r = −0.199 5, P > 0.05) or latitude (r = 0.205 7, P > 0.05). Conclusion Altitude may be a potential spatial factor affecting the genetic differentiation of O. hupensis robertsoni in Yunnan Province.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy, safety, and patient’ prognosis of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) via anterior tibial vein and popliteal vein approaches in the treatment of acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 195 patients diagnosed with acute mixed lower extremity DVT and treated with CDT in the Department of Interventional and Vascular Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2020 to December 2023. Patients were divided into an observation group (anterior tibial vein approach, n＝97) and a control group (popliteal vein approach, n＝98) according to the puncture route. Baseline data, thrombolysis-related indices (urokinase dosage, coagulation function indices), efficacy measures (degree of thrombus dissolution, leg circumference difference, visual analogue scale [VAS] score, venous clinical severity score [VCSS]), recovery parameters (time to ambulation, length of hospital stay), complication rates, and long-term prognosis measures (Villalta score, incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome [PTS]) were compared between the two groups. Results There was no statistically significant difference in urokinase dosage and levels of coagulation function indices between the two groups. Postoperatively, the leg circumference difference at 15 cm below the knee, VAS score, and VCSS score were significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (P＝0.001). The observation group had higher grade Ⅲ dissolution rates in the popliteal and anterior tibial veins compared to the control group (P＜0.05), while differences of dissolution rates in the iliac and femoral veins were not statistically significant. The observation group had shorter length of hospital stay and earlier ambulation times than the control group (P＝0.001). There were no significant differences in complication rates, Villalta scores, or PTS incidence between the two groups. Conclusions CDT via the anterior tibial vein puncture approach for acute mixed lower extremity DVT is superior to the popliteal vein approach in promoting resolution of lower extremity swelling, alleviating pain, improving venous clinical symptoms, and achieving higher thrombus dissolution rates in the popliteal and anterior tibial veins. It also enables faster recovery and demonstrates good safety.

Objective To analyze the disease burden and trends of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992 to 2021.  Methods Using the GBD 2021 database, the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) rates of bladder cancer in China and globally from 1992–2021 were analyzed. Average annual percentage change (AAPC) was calculated using Joinpoint regression. Subgroup analyses by sex and age were conducted, and a Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) model was used to predict trends in age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized mortality rate (ASMR) for the next 15 years.  Results In 2021, China reported 106 000 new cases (ASIR: 5.14/100 000), 571 000 prevalent cases (age-standardized prevalence rate, ASPR: 26.61/100 000), 43 000 deaths (ASMR: 2.34/100 000), and a DALY rate of 45.31/100 000. From 1992–2021, China showed upward trends in ASIR and ASPR but declines in ASMR and DALYs, while global ASIR, ASMR, and DALYs decreased overall with slow ASPR growth. The peak cases in China and globally were both concentrated in the 65-79 age group, with a significantly higher burden on males than females. In China, smoking-related ASMR and ASDR exceeded global averages and rose, whereas high glucose-related indexes were lower and declined. Projections for 2021–2036 indicated that the global incidence and mortality rates would be rising, but ASIR/ASPR would be declining, while in China, the incidence rate would continue to rise, and the mortality rate will stabilize, with a significant increase in ASIR and a gradual decrease in ASPR.  Conclusion From 1992 to 2021, the incidence of bladder cancer in China has shown a continuous upward trend and is projected to persist in the future, with significant gender and age differences. Particular attention should be given to elderly males aged 85-89. The disease burden of bladder cancer attributable to smoking continues to rise, highlighting the urgent need to strengthen tobacco control policies.

Coronary heart disease （CHD） has a distinct circadian rhythmicity in its onset， which is closely related to the waxing and waning of qi and blood in the channel passages of the human body. Grounded in the circadian rhythm theory of "correspondence between heaven and humankind"， this paper explores the pathogenic evolution rules of qi-blood disharmony， channel obstruction， interacting as cause and effect with circadian rhythm disorders in CHD. Clinically， CHD can be observed to attack in the early morning， at night， in the afternoon， and at fixed or unfixed circadian intervals. The pathogenesis rhythms at different time nodes can correspondingly reflect the susceptibility tendencies and pathological stress responses of the human body to core pathogeneses such as yang deficiency with cold congelation， yin deficiency with yang floating， qi and yin deficiency， and liver constraint with qi stagnation under specific temporal states. Treatment should be adapted to the season and time， regulating yin and yang in accordance with biological rhythms. It is recommended to regulate qi during the daytime by promoting ascending and dispersing to unblock the channel passages， and select the appropriate timing for administration to harness natural timing. At the Mao （卯） hour， yang ascends while yin descends， and taking medication at this time conforms to the ascending of yang qi. At the Wu （午） hour， the heart meridian is active， and taking medication at this time warms the channel passages and assists heart yang， which can be treated with modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤） or Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤）. At night， blood should be harmonized， when the channel passages are unblocked through nourishing， restraining， and searching， with Lianmei Decoction （连梅汤） combined with Dahuang Zhechong Pill （大黄䗪虫丸）. Following the temporal rhythm， the focus is put on the transitional time of day and night and the four seasons to treat disease before it arises， resonating and corresponding with the natural rhythm.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Chaihu anxin capsules in the treatment of mild-to-moderate depression， analyze the influencing factors of its efficacy, construct a nomogram prediction model.METHODS Patients with mild-to-moderate depression treated at The First Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 1， 2023 to March 10， 2025 were retrospectively included and categorized into Chaihu anxin capsules group and milnacipran group according to treatment regimen. Propensity score matching （PSM） was used to balance baseline characteristics， and treatment efficacy was compared after 8 weeks， including 24 Hamilton Depression Scale （HAMD-24） scores and changes， Hamilton Anxiety Scale （HAMA） scores and changes， and treatment response rate after 8 weeks of treatment. Patients receiving Chaihu anxin capsules were further classified as responders or non-responders based on the occurrence of treatment response. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the influencing factors of treatment response， and a nomogram model was constructed to predict the probability of treatment response， its predictive performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curves， calibration curves， and decision curve analysis.RESULTS A total of 297 patients were included before PSM， including 196 patients in the Chaihu anxin capsules group and 101 patients in the milnacipran group. After PSM， each group included 44 patients. After PSM， the HAMD-24 scores and HAMA scores at 8 weeks after treatment in the Chaihu anxin capsules group， as well as the HAMD-24 scores in the milnacipran group， were significantly lower than their respective baseline values （ P ＜0.05）； the change in HAMA score in the Chaihu anxin capsules group was significantly greater than that in the milnacipran group （ P ＝0.04）. Multivariable Logistic regression identified age， total bilirubin， and baseline HAMD-24 score as independent predictors of treatment response （ P ＜0.05）. The area under the ROC curve of the constructed nomogram prediction model was 0.72 （95% confidence interval： 0.637-0.799）， and the corrected Brier score was 0.143 （95% confidence interval： 0.112-0.176）； compared with the “all intervention” and “all non intervention” strategies， applying this nomogram prediction model could achieve higher net benefits within the threshold probability range of 8% to 37%.CONCLUSIONS The efficacy of Chaihu anxin capsules in improving mild-to-moderate depression is comparable to that of milnacipran， and it has certain advantages in improving anxiety symptoms； age， total bilirubin， and baseline HAMD-24 score are independent influencing factors for the treatment response of Chaihu anxin capsules. The nomogram prediction model constructed based on these factors has good discrimination， calibration， and clinical applicability.

Objective To investigate the effects of increasing the ejection seat backrest angle on the body pressure distribution of pilots of different body types,and to provide a basis for the design of ejection seats,flight training,and the development of strategies to alleviate muscle fatigue.Methods Male fighter pilots were divided into normal and overweight groups according to their body mass index(BMI),and a total of 40 pilots were tested for the distribution of sitting pressure under the two seat inclination angles of 20°and 33°by using the body pressure distribution measurement system.The effects of different seat inclination angles on sitting comfort were also analyzed.Results The pressure distributions of pilots with different body types were significantly different at different seat inclination angles.Compared with the 20°seat,the 33°seat condition had a larger cushion contact area[F(1,78)=40.281,P<0.001],a smaller average pressure and average pressure gradient[F(1,78)=32.030,P<0.001;F(1,78)=12.594,P<0.001],and significantly reduced average,maximum pressure,and maximal pressure gradients for the backrest[F(1,78)=10.516,P=0.002;F(1,78)=26.803,P<0.001;F(1,78)=4.918,P=0.029,respectively].In addition,overweight individuals with BMI had a notable increase in the cushion contact area[F(1,78)=21.038,P<0.001]and the backrest contact area[F(1,78)=8.301,P=0.005].No significant interaction was observed for angle and BMI.Conclusion An increased seat inclination angle results in a more uniform distribution of pressure across the human body,thereby increasing comfort.Moreover,the disparities in pressure and backrest distribution across disparate body types at varying seat angles provide a vital foundation for the optimized design of seating.

Objective To analyze the effect of Callicarpa nudiflora on wound healing and phos-phatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin(PI3K/AKT/mTOR)path-way by regulating M2 macrophage polarization in rats with diabetic foot ulcer.Methods A total of 40 rats were selected,with 10 rats in control group(topical application of saline),and the remaining 30 were used to establish rat model of diabetic foot ulcer.Ultimately,27 rats were successfully mod-eled and divided into model group(topical application of saline),Callicarpa nudiflora group(topi-cal application of Callicarpa nudiflora),and Callicarpa nudiflora combined with inhibitor group(topical application of Callicarpa nudiflora combined with CD206 inhibitor,a marker protein of M2 macrophages),with 9 rats in each group.The wound healing rate,levels of basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF)and vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),relative expression levels of induc-ible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS),CD16/32,CD206,PI3K,AKT and mTOR as well as mRNA ex-pression levels of PI3K,AKT and mTOR were compared among groups.Results On the 3rd,7th and 14th days after intervention,compared with the control group,the wound healing rate,VEGF,bFGF,relative expression level of CD206,relative expression of PI3K,AKT and mTOR at mRNA and protein levels were significantly decreased while the relative expression levels of iNOS and CD16/32 were significantly increased in all other groups(P＜0.05);compared with the model group,the Callicarpa nudiflora group and the Callicarpa nudiflora combined with inhibitor group showed significant increased wound healing rate,VEGF,bFGF,relative expression level of CD206,and relative expression of PI3K,AKT and mTOR at mRNA and protein levels,and significant de-creased relative expression levels of iNOS and CD16/32(P＜0.05);compared with the Callicarpa nudiflora group,the Callicarpa nudiflora combined with inhibitor group showed significant decreased wound healing rate,VEGF,bFGF,relative expression level of CD206,and relative expression of PI3K,AKT and mTOR at mRNA and protein levels,and significant increased relative expression levels of iNOS and CD16/32(P＜0.05).Conclusion Callicarpa nudiflora can promote M2 mac-rophage polarization,increase wound healing rate and levels of VEGF and bFGF in rats with diabetic foot ulcer,and activate the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To establish a clinical predictive model for poor clinical outcomes in patients with secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH) and to evaluate its clinical application value.Methods:Patients diagnosed with sHLH who met the study criteria and were initially admitted to the Emergency Department of Peking University People’s Hospital between September 2017 and December 2024 were enrolled. Clinical data were collected, and patients were categorized into a death group or a survival group based on clinical outcomes as the observational endpoint. Differences in clinical data between the two groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to screen significant variables, and a predictive model nomogram was developed using the R programming language. The discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical utility of the predictive model were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve, net reclassification improvement index, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. K-fold cross-validation was employed to evaluate the model's performance. The model was compared with the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score and the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score.Results:A total of 116 cases were enrolled in the study, comprising 36 cases in the mortality group and 80 cases in the survival group. Multivariate logistic analysis identified age, platelet count, prothrombin time, total bilirubin, altered mental status, and cardiac involvement as factors significantly associated with clinical outcomes. Based on these factors, an early warning model for adverse clinical prognosis was established, and a corresponding nomogram was developed. The model demonstrated excellent discriminative ability, calibration, and clinical utility (AUC=0.950; Hosmer-Lemeshow test: χ2=2.5476, P=0.980; calibration curve: R 2=0.649, P=0.906), outperforming both the APACHE Ⅱ and SOFA scores in predicting adverse outcomes (both P<0.01). Conclusions:This study established an early warning model for adverse clinical prognosis in sHLH based on objective clinical data. The model aids in the clinical assessment of sHLH patients, facilitates early warning, and supports clinical decision-making for treatment.
