Sangjuyin， as a pungent and cooling agent with precise therapeutic effect， is a classic pungent formula for cooling relief of the epidermis， which is highly respected by medical practitioners. This formula is from the Wenbing Tiaobian written by WU Jutong in the Qing dynasty， on the basis of which subsequent medical practitioners have made additions and subtractions to apply it. The authors used the bibliometric method to systematically organize the medical books from the Qing dynasty and the Republic of China and modern literature to analyze the composition， concoction， decoction， efficacy， and previous and modern application of Sangjuyin. After examination， the drug base of this formula is basically clear. Armeniacae Semen Amarum is the dried mature seeds of Armeniaca vulgaris， family Rosaceae. Forsythiae Fructus is the dried fruit of Forsythia suspensa， family Mulleinaceae. Menthae Haplocalycis Herba is the dried above-ground part of Mentha haplocalyx， family Labiatae. Mori Folium is the dried leaves of Morus alba， family Moraceae. Chrysanthemi Flos is the dried head of Chrysanthemum morifolium， family Asteraceae. Platycodonis Radix is the dried root of Eryngium grandiflorum， family Eryngium. Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma is the dried root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis of the Leguminosae family， and Phragmitis Rhizoma is the fresh or dried rhizome of Phragmites communis of the Gramineae family. It is recommended that the eight drugs be used in raw form as medicine. The dosage and method of decoction were converted into a modern single dosage of 7.46 g Armeniacae Semen Amarum， 5.60 g Forsythiae Fructus， 2.98 g Menthae Haplocalycis Herba， 9.33 g Mori Folium， 3.73 g Chrysanthemi Flos， 7.46 g Platycodonis Radix， 2.98 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， and 11.19 g Phragmitis Rhizoma， with 400 mL water added， and the solution was boiled to obtain 200 mL， taken twice a day. Sangjuyin has the efficacy of dispersing wind and clearing heat， promoting lung and relieving cough， and it is used for treating the initial onset of wind-warmth and the evidence of evil spirits in the lungs and collaterals. Modern research has shown that Sangjuyin is often used in the treatment of cough， pneumonia， rhinitis， and other respiratory diseases， and the results of this study provide a reference for the later development of Sangjuyin.

Background Bufei Huoxue Capsule (BHC) has gradually been used in clinical practice to treat patients with pneumoconiosis in recent years. However, the comprehensive evaluation of its efficacy and safety is lacking. Objective To systematically assess the therapeutic potential of BHC for pneumoconiosis. Methods By searching 9 databases, e.g. China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP Chinese Science and Technology Journals Database, SinoMed, Yiigle, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, randomized controlled trials (RCTs) related to the use of BHC for the treatment of pneumoconiosis were identified. The search covered the period from the inception of these databases to August 31, 2025. This systematic review conformed to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020. The included studies underwent quality appraisal by the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE). Subgroup analysis and sensitivity analysis were applied to assess the robustness of results and explore the potential heterogeneity among the studies. Results A total of 19 RCTs were included and all were reported in Chinese. The therapy containing BHC showed a superior impact on forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁) (95%CI: 0.38, 0.66; I²=69%, P<0.05), FEV₁% (95%CI: 3.37, 5.72; I²=12%, P<0.05), forced vital capacity (FVC) (95%CI: 0.34, 0.45; I²=0%, P<0.05), FEV₁/FVC% (95%CI: 6.29, 10.35; I²=21%, P<0.05), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) score (95%CI: 16.32, 27.64; I²=22%, P<0.05), St. George's Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) score (95%CI: −1.47, −1.05; I²=13%, P<0.05), and total effective rate (95%CI: 2.71, 6.78; I²=0%, P<0.05) in patients with pneumoconiosis. In addition, BHC had less adverse reactions reported (95%CI: 0.69, 1.74; I²=0%, P=0.70). Conclusions Combined BHC therapy can significantly improve the lung function and the quality of life in patients with pneumoconiosis, with a good safety profile. However, high-quality RCTs with multicenter, large-sample, double-blind, and standardized protocols still need to be conducted in the future to provide more reliable evidence.

BACKGROUND:Cervical disc herniation can cause pain in the neck and shoulder area,as well as radiating pain in the upper limbs.The incidence rate is increasing year by year and tends to affect younger individuals.Fully understanding the biomechanical characteristics of the cervical spine in adolescents is of great significance for preventing and delaying the onset of cervical disc herniation in this age group. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct cervical spine models for both healthy adolescents and adolescent patients with cervical disc herniation utilizing finite element analysis techniques,to analyze the motion range of the C1-T1 cervical vertebrae as well as the biomechanical characteristics of the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,endplates,and the cartilage of the small joints. METHODS:A normal adolescent's cervical spine and an adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation were selected in this study.The continuous scan cervical spine CT raw image data were imported into Mimics 21.0 in DICOM format.The C1-T1 vertebrae were reconstructed separately.Subsequently,the established models were imported into the 3-Matic software for disc reconstruction.The perfected models were then imported into Hypermesh software for meshing of the vertebrae,nucleus pulposus,annulus fibrosus,and ligaments,creating valid geometric models.After assigning material properties,the final models were imported into ABAQUS software to observe the joint motion range of the C1-C7 cervical vertebrae segments under different conditions,and to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,endplates,and small joint cartilage of each cervical spine segment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In six different conditions,the joint motion range of the C1 vertebra in the cervical spine models of both normal adolescent and adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation was higher than that of the other vertebrae.Additionally,the joint motion range of each cervical spine segment in normal adolescent was greater than that in adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation.(2)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress values in the annulus fibrosus and nucleus pulposus were found on the left side during C2-3 flexion conditions(0.43 MPa and 0.17 MPa,respectively).In the cervical spine model of adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the maximum stress values were found on the left side during C7-T1 flexion conditions(0.54 MPa and 0.18 MPa,respectively).(3)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress value on the endplate was found on the left side of the upper endplate of C3 during flexion conditions(1.46 MPa).In the model of adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the maximum stress value on the endplate was found on the left side of the lower endplate of C7 during flexion conditions(1.32 MPa).(4)In the cervical spine model of normal adolescent,the maximum stress value in the small joint cartilage was found in the C2-3 left rotation conditions(0.98 MPa).In adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation,the stress in the small joint cartilage significantly increased under different conditions,especially in C1-2,with the maximum stress found during left flexion(3.50 MPa).(5)It is concluded that compared to normal adolescent,adolescent patient with cervical disc herniation exhibits altered cervical curvature and a decrease in overall joint motion range in the cervical spine.In adolescent with cervical disc herniation,there is a significant increase in stress on the annulus fibrosus,nucleus pulposus,and endplates in the C7-T1 segment.The stress on the left articular cartilage of the C1-2 is notable.Abnormal cervical curvature may be the primary factor causing these stress changes.

Objective: To analyze the characteristics and safety risks of preservatives and sweeteners in beverages sold near schools in Anshun City, so as to provide a evidence for formulating targeted regulatory strategies in campus. Methods: From December 2023 to July 2024, 834 beverage samples were collected from sales points near primary and secondary schools in Xixiu District and four surrounding townships of Anshun City by a stratified random sampling method. High performance liquid chromatography was used to detect three preservatives (sorbic acid, benzoic acid and dehydroacetic acid) and four sweeteners (sodium saccharin, acesulfame-K, aspartame, and neotame). Differences were analyzed using the Chi-square test. Results: The overall exceedance rate of preservative was 8.6% (72 samples), with dehydroacetic acid showing the highest exceedance rate (7.0%, 58 samples), significantly higher than sorbic acid (0.6%, 5 samples) and benzoic acid (0.4%, 3 samples) ( χ 2=90.85, P <0.01). The overall exceedance rate of sweetener was 10.4% (87 samples), with sodium saccharin having the highest exceedance rate ( 6.2 %, 52 samples),significantly higher than neotame (2.8%, 23 samples), acesulfame-K (0) and aspartame (0) ( χ 2=262.04, P <0.01). Potential risks were identified due to the co occurrence of multiple additive exceedances, including 0.7% (6 samples) for mixed preservatives and 1.6% (13 samples) for mixed sweetener. No statistically significant differences were found in preservative (7.2%, 26 samples) or sweetener (12.3%, 44 samples) exceedance rates between micro enterprises and large, medium and small enterprises ( χ 2=2.67, 5.16, both P >0.05). Conclusion Systemic misuse risk of food additives in beverages sold near school necessitates a risk traceability based regulatory framework, with emphasis on standardizing enterprise production practices and strengthening oversight of sales outlets near campuses.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect and mechanism of embryonic intervention with Zuogui pill on the glucose tolerance in offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus. METHODS Pregnant rats were randomly divided into blank group， model group， positive control group （insulin glargine）， Zuogui pill low-， medium- and high-dose groups （4.725， 9.45， 18.9 g/kg）. In addition to the blank group， streptozotocin was injected intraperitoneally to establish a gestational diabetes mellitus rat model. From day 6 to day 18 of pregnancy， each group was given relevant medicine and distilled water intragastrically， once a day. After 21 days of birth， the body weight and body length of offsprings were recorded， and the area under the curve （AUC） was calculated through a glucose tolerance test. After 22 days of birth， fasting blood glucose （FBG）， fasting insulin （FINS） levels in serum， insulin sensitivity index （ISI）， and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance （HOMA-IR） were measured， and the morphological structure of pancreatic tissue was observed. The protein spectrum of pancreatic tissue was analyzed by tandem mass tag-based proteomics， and protein and mRNA expression levels of apolipoprotein A1（ApoA1）， solute carrier family 27 member 1 （Slc27a1）， kininogen 1（Kng1） and sodium/potassium-transporting ATPase subunit alpha 2 （Atp1a2）， solute carrier family 7 member 5 （Slc7a5）， solute carrier family 3 member 2 （Slc3a2）， bile acid-coenzyme A： amino acid N- acyltransferase （Baat）， eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit gamma （Eif2s3） were detected. RESULTS Compared with the model group， the body weight， body length and ISI of offsprings in the positive control group and Zuogui pill medium-dose group were significantly increased （P＜0.05）， while the glucose tolerance and islet cell proliferation were significantly improved， and the AUC， FBG， FINS and HOMA-IR were significantly decreased （P＜0.05）. There were 88 potential target proteins for the embryonic intervention of Zuogui pill in offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus，involving multiple pathways such as peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor （PPAR）， cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G （cGMP-PKG）， fat digestion and absorption， and bile secretion. The proteins closely related to glucose metabolism and insulin resistance mainly included ApoA1， Slc27a1， Kng1， Atp1a2， Slc7a5， Slc3a2， Baat， and Eif2s3. Among them， compared with the model group， protein and mRNA expressions of Slc7a5， Slc3a2， and Baat in the pancreatic tissues of pregnant rat offsprings in the Zuogui pill medium-dose group were significantly up-regulated （P＜0.05）； protein and mRNA expressions of ApoA1， Slc27a1， Kng1， Atp1a2 and Eif2s3 were all significantly down-regulated （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The intervention of Zuogui pill in the embryonic period on offsprings of pregnant rats with gestational diabetes mellitus can improve their blood glucose levels and pancreatic pathological morphology. The mechanism may be related to the upregulation of the expressions of Slc7a5， Slc3a2， and Baat and the down-regulation of ApoA1， Slc27a1， Kng1， Atp1a2 and Eif2s3 expressions in the PPAR， cGMP-PKG， fat digestion and absorption， and bile secretion pathways.

Objective:To explore the value and clinical significance of percutaneous CO 2 monitoring in non-invasive positive pressureventilator in the treatment of severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children. Methods:Retrospective analysis was conducted on 38 children with severe OSA, who were treated in Henan Children′s Hospital from August 2023 to December 2024. All of the enrolled children were diagnosed by polysomnography(PSG), treated with non-invasive positive pressure ventilator (NPPV) according to the standard treatment plan, and continuously monitored with TcpCO 2. Arterial blood gas was analyzed before and after pressure titration and TcpCO 2 changes were compared between awake and sleep with arterial blood gas PaCO 2. The sleep parameters, parameters related to arterial blood gas, and the relationship between TcpCO 2 and alveolar hypoventilation in children were analyzed. The cut-off value of alveolar hypoventilation factors were estimated. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 27.0 software. Results:(1)The difference between awake TcpCO 2 and sleep TcpCO 2 was statistically significant[(42.52±3.56)mmHg vs.(51.09±4.07)mmHg, P<0.001), and the difference between sleep TcpCO 2 and morning PaCO 2 was statistically significant[(51.09±4.07)mmHg vs. (40.83±5.34)mmHg, P<0.001]. (2) There was no significant difference in related indicators among different gender children, but the difference in BMI values between preschool and school age children was significant[(18.03±4.96)kg/m 2vs.(25.21±5.25)kg/m 2, t=-4.08, P<0.001]. (3) Obstructive apnea hypopnea index(OAHI), oxygen desaturation index (ODI), and TcpCO 2 were independent risk factors for alveolar hypopnea, but there was no correlation between BMI and whether alveolar hypoventilation.(4).OAHI, ODI, and TcpCO 2 were predictive of the presence of alveolar hypoventilation. When the OAHI exceeded 54.7events/h, ODI exceeded 72.1 events/h, and TcpCO 2 exceeded 56.5 mmHg, the children were more likely to have alveolar hypoventilation. Conclusion:Transcutaneous carbon dioxide, OAHI and ODI can effectively predict whether children have alveolar hypoventilation, which is helpful for clinical treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the long-term effectiveness of lingual mucosal graft ureteroplasty (LMGU) for managing long-segment (≥5 cm) ureteral strictures in a multi-institutional cohort of patients.Methods:A multi-center retrospective case series study was conducted on clinical data from 42 patients undergoing LMGU for long-segment ureteral strictures (≥5 cm) across five institutions between February 2017 and June 2024. The cohort comprised 31 males and 11 females, with an age of (43.4±12.0) years (range: 15 to 64 years) and a body mass index of (24.6±2.6) kg/m2 (range: 16.0 to 30.0 kg/m2). Strictures involved the left ureter in 24 cases and right ureter in 18 cases, demonstrating a stricture length of (6.4±1.5) cm (range: 5.0 to 11.5 cm). Surgical interventions included either onlay ureteroplasty or augmented anastomotic ureteroplasty, selected according to intraoperative findings. Intraoperative parameters, postoperative complications, and follow-up outcomes were analyzed.Results:Laparoscopic surgery was performed in 22 cases and robot-assisted surgery in 20 cases. Among the 42 patients, 22 underwent onlay ureteroplasty while 20 received augmented anastomotic ureteroplasty. The graft length was (5.9±1.8) cm (range: 3.0 to 12.0 cm), operative time (191.5±55.6) minutes (range: 105.0 to 350.0 minutes), and intraoperative estimated blood loss (86.7±73.6) ml (range: 10.0 to 400.0 ml). All procedures were successfully completed without conversion to open surgery. The postoperative hospital stay was (7.6±2.0) days (range: 4.0 to 15.0 days), with double-J stent removal at 6 to 8 weeks postoperatively. During a follow-up of (49.1±25.0) months (range: 12.0 to 99.0 months), no stricture recurrence was observed in any patient.Conclusion:LMGU is a safe, feasible, and effective long-term technique for managing long-segment (≥5 cm) ureteral strictures.

Objective To explore the impact of seasonal and temperature variations on fasting blood glucose(FPG)in patients with type 2 diabetes(T2DM).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of 31 994 T2DM patients managed by community health service center in Minhang District,Shanghai,from January 1,2020 to October 31,2023.The effect of seasonal and temperature variations on FPG levels and blood glucose control was investigated in T2DM patients.Results A total of 72 334 FPG tests were conducted in 31 994 T2DM patients,with an average of 2.26 tests per person.The number of tests conducted in spring,summer,autumn and winter were 15 558,34 018,21 929 and 829,respectively.The FPG levels of T2DM patients were lower in summer and autumn compared to those of winter and spring(P<0.05),while the FPG control rates were higher in summer and autumn compared to those of winter and spring(Bonferroni-corrected,P<0.008).There were no significant differences in FPG levels and blood glucose control rates between spring and winter,or between summer and autumn.The results of the multilevel mixed-effect Logistic model analysis with FPG control status as the dependent variable revealed that the risk of uncontrolled FPG in T2DM patients during winter and spring was 47%(aOR=1.465,95%CI:1.156-1.855)and 51%(aOR=1.510,95%CI:1.384-1.645),respectively,which was higher than that of autumn.The levels of FPG and the incidence of FPG abnormalities reached peak in February and reached the trough in September.Both the FPG levels and the incidence of FPG abnormal exhibited a trend of increasing with the decrease of temperature,and with a lag effect observed.Spearman rank correlation test indicated that there was a negative correlation between FPG levels and incidence of abnormal FPG and the monthly average daily temperature one month lagged(rs=-0.951,P＜0.001 and rs=-0.944,P＜0.001).Conclusion FPG levels of T2DM patients exhibit a pronounced seasonal pattern of elevation during winter and spring,accompanied by a reduction in blood glucose control rates.FPG levels and the prevalence of abnormal FPG exhibit a negative correlation with the monthly average daily temperature,and there is a lag effect.
