Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability among adults in China， and its common complications include digestive system abnormalities， cognitive impairment， depression， stroke-associated pneumonia， and hemiplegia. The combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine has great potential in treating post-stroke complications. Xinglou Chengqitang （XLCQT） is a representative prescription of alleviating the disease in the upper part by treating the lower part. It has definite therapeutic effect and high safety. Clinically， XLCQT is often used to treat stroke and its complications. However， the quantity and quality of clinical trials of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications need to be improved. Additionally， since the basic research is weak， the material basis and multi-target mechanism for the efficacy of this prescription are unknown. This article reviews XLCQT in terms of the pharmacodynamic basis， medicinal properties， safety evaluation， and progress in clinical research and mechanisms in treating post-stroke complications. This article summarizes 22 key active ingredients of XLCQT in treating acute stroke complicated with syndrome of phlegm heat and fu-organ excess. Among these key active ingredients， resveratrol， kaempferol， luteolin， chrysoeriol， apigenin， （+）-catechin， and adenosine have good pharmacokinetic properties and high bioavailability. The mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications are complex， including inflammatory response， brain-gut axis， hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal （HPA） axis， intestinal flora， neurotrophic factors， autophagy， oxidative stress， and free radical damage. This review helps to deeply understand the pharmacodynamic basis and mechanisms of XLCQT in treating post-stroke complications and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XLCQT against post-stroke complications and the development of drugs.

Myopia is a highly prevalent refractive error worldwide, with scleral remodeling accompanying excessive axial elongation being one of its core pathological features. As the crucial outer layer responsible for maintaining eyeball morphology and biomechanical stability, the sclera plays a decisive role in the pathogenesis and progression of myopia through abnormal alterations in its cellular components, extracellular matrix(ECM)metabolism, and regulatory networks. This review systematically summarizes recent research advances in scleral remodeling. It focuses on elucidating, from cellular and molecular perspectives, the mechanisms by which dysfunction of scleral fibroblasts, dysregulation of ECM metabolism(e.g., decreased collagen content, disrupted MMP-2/TIMP-2 balance), and complex regulatory networks involving multiple signaling pathways such as TGF-β, Wnt/β-catenin, and MAPK drive scleral thinning and reduced mechanical strength. Concurrently, the review provides a comprehensive analysis of the potential roles and existing controversies regarding factors like inflammatory responses and novel regulatory axes(e.g., FOXM1/METTL3/APOA1)in scleral remodeling. Furthermore, it discusses the current research status and application prospects of sclera-targeted intervention strategies(e.g., modulating specific pathways, supplementing exogenous factors), aiming to provide a theoretical basis and directional reference for a deeper understanding of myopia pathogenesis and the development of new prevention and treatment approaches.

To analyze the disease burden of acute lymphoid leukemia(ALL) and its changing trends in China and globally from 1990 to 2021, aiming to provide a theoretical basis for disease prevention, treatment, and policy formulation.

Purpose: Leptin interacts not only with leptin receptor (LEPR) but also engages with other receptors. While the pro-oncogenic effects of the adrenergic receptor β2 (ADRB2) are well-established, the role of leptin in activating ADRB2 in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains unclear. Materials and Methods: The pro-carcinogenic effects of LEPR were investigated using murine TNBC cell lines, 4T1 and EMT6, and a tumor-bearing mouse model. Expression levels of LEPR, NADPH oxidase 4 (NOX4), and ADRB2 in TNBC cells and tumor tissues were analyzed via western blot and quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels were assessed using flow cytometry and MitoSox staining, while immunofluorescence double-staining confirmed the co-localization of LEPR and ADRB2. Results: LEPR activation promoted NOX4-derived ROS and mitochondrial ROS production, facilitating TNBC cell proliferation and migration, effects which were mitigated by the LEPR inhibitor Allo-aca. Co-expression of LEPR and ADRB2 was observed on cell membranes, and bioinformatics data revealed a positive correlation between the two receptors. Leptin activated both LEPR and ADRB2, enhancing intracellular ROS generation and promoting tumor progression, which was effectively countered by a specific ADRB2 inhibitor ICI118551. In vivo, leptin injection accelerated tumor growth and lung metastases without affecting appetite, while treatments with Allo-aca or ICI118551 mitigated these effects. Conclusion This study demonstrates that leptin stimulates the growth and metastasis of TNBC through the activation of both LEPR and ADRB2, resulting in increased ROS production. These findings highlight LEPR and ADRB2 as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in TNBC.

Objective:To investigate the miRNA-mRNA regulatory network in a rat model of Tourette syndrome(TS)using transcriptomic technology and to screen key signaling pathways and potential traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)candidates for intervention.Methods:A TS rat model was established using iminodipropionitrile(IDPN).RNA sequencing was performed to identify differentially expressed miRNAs and mRNAs in the brain tissues of TS rats.Bioinformatics analysis was applied to construct interaction networks,and network pharmacology was further employed to screen potential TCM compounds.Results:After 7 days of IDPN modeling,the model group exhibited motor and stereotypical behavioral changes,with behavioral scores greater than 3 points.Hema toxylin-eosin(HE)staining revealed irregular neuronal nuclear morphology,uneven chromatin distribution,nuclear pyknosis,and increased glial cell density.KEGG enrichment analysis identified key pathways:calcium signaling pathway,neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,p53 signaling pathway,ECM-receptor interaction,and TGF-β signaling pathway.miR-125a-3p,miR-106-3p,and miR-760-3p were identified as pivotal miRNAs.Potential TCM candidates included Ajuga decumbens,Acanthopanax bark,Codonopsis pilosula,Stephania japonica,Os Draconis,Notopterygium root,Siraitia grosvenorii,Zanthoxylum nitidum root,Morinda officinalis,and Corydalis yanhusuo.Conclusion:The miRNAs miR-106-3p,miR-125a-3p,and miR-760-3p may mediate TS pathogenesis by altering critical signaling networks,including the calcium signaling pathway,neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction,and ECM-receptor interaction pathways,leading to neuroimmune inflammation and dopaminergic system dysregulation.TCM compounds such as Corydalis yanhusuo and Ajuga decumbens may exert therapeutic effects through multi-component synergistic regulation of these miRNAs and downstream pathways.

Objective To investigate the clinicopathological features of odontogenic myxoma(OM).Methods The clinicopath-ologic data of 15 patients with odontogenic myxoma(OM)diagnosed by routine pathology in Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2013 to June 2023 were retrospectively analyzed.Results(1)The most common cases were female(66.7％),20-40 years old(73.3％),mandible(60.0％)and posterior dental area(93.3％).(2)The characteristic imaging findings were multilocular cystic low-density radiography,resembling honey comb/tennis racket/soap bubble structures.(3)Microscopi-cally,star or spindle tumor cells can be seen scattered in the background of light blue mucoid matrix,and occasionally a few odonto-genic epithelial clusters.(4)In 15 odontogenic myxoma(OM)samples,①β-catenin was not expressed in 1 case of mucous type,par-tially or diffusely expressed in 6 cases,not expressed in 2 cases of fibrous type,partially or diffusely expressed in 6 cases;②CD34 and S100 were negative;③Ki-67 index was lower than 1％.(5)Of the 15 patients,only one relapsed,and the rest had a good prognosis.(6)Surgical treatment is the main treatment plan at present,and the appropriate surgical plan should be selected according to the size of the tumor,the scope of the lesion and the situation of the patient.Conclusion Although odontogenic myxoma is a benign tumor,it is locally invasive and recurrent.It is necessary to distinguish it from low-grade malignant myxosarcoma,chondromyxoid fibroma and odontogenic fibroma.Understanding of and familiarity with its clinicopathological features is helpful to its diagnosis and improving the prognosis of patients.

Objective To examine the changing prevalence and antimicrobial resistance profiles of Burkholderia cepacia in 52 hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were collected from 52 hospitals between January 1,2015 and December 31,2021.Antimicrobial susceptibility of the strains was tested using Kirby-Bauer method or automated antimicrobial susceptibility testing systems according to a unified protocol.The results were interpreted according to the breakpoints released in the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)guidelines(2023 edition).Results A total of 9 261 strains of B.cepacia were isolated from all age groups,especially elderly patients.The proportion was 11.1％(1 032 strains)in children,significantly lower than the proportion in adults.About half(46.5％,4 310/9 261)of the strains were isolated from patients at least 60 years old and 42.3％(3 919/9 261)of the strains were isolated from young adults.Most isolates(71.1％)were isolated from sputum and respiratory secretions,followed by urine(10.7％)and blood samples(8.1％).B.cepacia isolates were highly susceptible to the five antimicrobial agents recommended in the CLSI M100 document(33rd edition,2023).B.cepacia isolates showed relatively higher resistance rates to meropenem and levofloxacin.However,the resistance rates to ceftazidime,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,and minocycline remained below 8.1％.The percentage of B.cepacia strains resistant to levofloxacin was the highest compared to other antibiotics in any of the three age groups(from 12.4％in the patients＜18 years old to 20.6％in the patients aged 60 years or older).Conclusions B.cepacia is one of the clinically important non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.Accurate and timely reporting of antimicrobial susceptibility test results and ongoing antimicrobial resistance surveillance are helpful for rational prescription of antimicrobial agents and proper prevention and control of nosocomial infections.

Objective:To establish an early warning model of oral infection risk in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy and to verify its predictive efficacy, so as to provide reference for formulating strategies to prevent oral infections.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select 288 patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy from January 2021 to January 2023 in Hematology Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences (Institute of Hematology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences) as the training set. According to whether they developed oral infection after chemotherapy, they were divided into the infected group and the non-infected group. The risk factors of oral infection in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy were investigated, and a risk warning model was established. A total of 246 acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy patients admitted to the same hospital from February 2023 to February 2024 were selected as the validation set to conduct external verification of the model.Results:The oral infection rate was 19.44% (56/288) in the training set. There were 21 males and 35 females in the infected group (56 cases), with 49 cases<60 years old and 7 cases ≥60 years old. There were 102 males and 130 females in the non infected group (232 cases), with 196 cases<60 years old and 36 cases ≥60 years old. Multivariate analysis showed that neutrophil count <1.5×10 9/L, nutritional risk screening 2002≥3 points, high-dose of methotrexate, antibiotic types ≥3, poor oral self-cleaning habits, oral pH ≤6.5 were the risk factors for oral infection in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy ( OR values were 2.716-10.074, all P<0.05). Based on this, the risk early warning model was as follows: Logit ( P)=-5.849+2.310× neutrophil count <1.5×10 9/L+1.363× nutritional risk screening 2002≥3 points +1.150× high-dose methotrexate +1.132× antibiotic types ≥3 + 1.044× oral pH ≤6.5 + 0.999× poor oral self-cleaning habits. The area under receiver operator characteristics curves (ROC) curve of this model Logit ( P) was 0.892, the maximum approximate entry index was 0.653, the sensitivity was 0.804, and the specificity was 0.849. Hosmer-Lemeshow test results indicated that χ2=4.91, P=0.768. For external validation, the goodness of fit test results were χ2=6.47, P=0.595. The area under ROC curve was 0.884, the sensitivity was 0.832, and the specificity was 0.825. Conclusions:The established early warning model of oral infection risk in patients with acute leukemia undergoing chemotherapy has good predictive value, which is helpful for medical staff to conduct early risk assessment of oral infection in such patients, and formulate countermeasures to reduce the incidence and improve the treatment effect of the disease.

Objective:To establish a method for determination of fluoride in water using a fully automated biochemical analyzer (abbreviated as this method).Methods:Based on the parameters of the fully automatic biochemical analyzer, appropriate reagent volumes and reaction time were optimized to determine fluoride ions in water within the standard curve range (0.0 - 2.0 mg/L). The method was validated through evaluation of linear range, detection limit, precision, accuracy, and comparative analysis with the manual measurement results of fluoride reagent spectrophotometric method specified in the "Standard Examination Methods for Drinking Water - Part 5: Inorganic Nonmetallic indices" (GB/T 5750.5-2023).Results:Within the range of 0.0 - 2.0 mg/L fluoride mass concentration, the absolute values of the correlation coefficients were > 0.999 0 and the detection limit of this method was 0.082 mg/L. The relative standard deviation for the determination of fluoride level in water samples with low, medium and high fluoride mass concentrations was 4.03%, 2.16% and 1.68%, respectively. The spiked recovery rates were 98.1%, 99.5%, and 100.2%, respectively. There was no statistically significant difference between the results obtained by this method and manual measurement ( t = 1.07, P = 0.295). Conclusion:This method exhibits high sensitivity, accuracy, and efficiency in detecting fluoride, enabling rapid sample detection through instrumental automation instead of manual operation.
