Objective: To understand the awareness of chikungunya fever knowledge and its related factors among medical college students in Baise City, so as to provide a scientific basis to offer relevant courses and special education. Methods: From July to August 2025, 7 286 enrolled medical students were selected by a sampling method from a medical college in Baise City to participate in the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire covered epidemiological characteristics, clinical symptoms, and prevention/control knowledge of chikungunya fever. Statistical analyses including the Chi quare test and multivariate Logistic regression models were performed. Results: The overall awareness rate of chikungunya fever knowledge among the medical students was 18.89%. Among the knowledge items, the awareness rate of "the high incidence season" was the highest (84.05%), while that of "the infectious period" was the lowest (17.80%). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that medical students with female (a OR= 1.37 , 95%CI =1.20- 1.57 ), the age for over 25 years old (a OR=1.76, 95%CI =1.05-2.93), whose father had a middle school educational level (a OR=1.18, 95%CI =1.05-1.31), and majored in preventive medicine (a OR=1.54, 95%CI =1.10-1.67) had relatively higher awareness rates of chikungunya fever knowledge (all P <0.05). In contrast, students of Zhuang ethnicity (a OR= 0.87 , 95%CI =0.76-0.98) and majoring in nursing (a OR=0.74, 95%CI =0.61-0.91) or pharmacy (a OR=0.70, 95%CI =0.52-0.95) had relatively lower awareness rates (all P <0.05). Conclusions The awareness rate of chikungunya fever related knowledge among medical college students in Baise City is relatively low. Schools should take targeted publicity measures to improve medical students awareness.

ObjectiveTo address the challenges of unstructured classical Chinese expressions， nested entity relationships， and limited annotated data in famous traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） case records， this study proposes a joint relation extraction framework that integrates data augmentation and entity mapping， aiming to support the construction of TCM diagnostic knowledge graphs and clinical pattern mining. MethodsWe developed an annotation structure for entities and their relationships in TCM case texts and applied a data augmentation strategy by incorporating multiple ancient texts to expand the relation extraction dataset. A cascade binary tagging framework for relation triple extraction（CasRel） model for TCM semantics was designed， integrating a pre-trained bidirectional encoder representations from transformers（BERT） layer for classical TCM texts to enhance semantic representation， and using a head entity-relation-tail entity mapping mechanism to address entity nesting and relation overlapping issues. ResultsExperimental results showed that the CasRel model， combining data augmentation and entity mapping， outperformed the pipeline-based Bert-Radical-Lexicon（BRL）-bidirectional long short-term memory（BiLSTM）-Attention model. The overall precision， recall， and F₁-score across 12 relation types reached 65.73%， 64.03%， and 64.87%， which represent improvements of 14.26%， 7.98%， and 11.21% compared to the BRL-BiLSTM-Attention model， respectively. Notably， the F₁-score for tongue syndrome relations increased by 22.68%（69.32%）， and the prescription-syndrome relations performed the best with the F₁-score of 70.10%. ConclusionThe proposed framework significantly improves the semantic representation and complex dependencies in TCM texts， offering a reusable technical framework for structured mining of TCM case records. The constructed knowledge graph can support clinical syndrome differentiation， prescription optimization， and drug compatibility， providing a methodological reference for TCM artificial intelligence research.

Objective To explore the feasibility of magnetic compression technique (MCR) in the treatment of severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. Methods After 10 female New Zealand rabbits were selected, the distal end of the right ureter was ligated with silk thread. Two weeks after the operation, when the right ureter was dilated, the mid-ureter was ligated again with silk thread to create a severe single mid-ureteral stricture animal model. Longitudinal incisions were made at the upper and lower ends of the ligation site, and cylindrical NdFeB magnets with central holes (sub-magnets and main magnets) were placed to anastomose and recanalize the mid-ureteral stricture. The magnets were adjusted to the appropriate position to automatically align and attract each other. The longitudinal incision sites of the ureter were sutured with 6-0 Prolene thread, and the abdominal cavity was closed layer by layer. The operation time was recorded. X-ray films were taken every two days to confirm the position of the magnets and record the time of magnet detachment. Three weeks after the operation, the anastomotic specimens were obtained, and the formation of the anastomosis was evaluated with gross observation and histological staining. Results Two weeks after ligation, all experimental rabbits showed obvious dilation of the right ureter. The mid-ureteral ligation and placement of the male and female magnets were successfully completed in all 10 experimental rabbits, with an operation time of (24.00±5.15)minutes. The male and female magnets attracted each other well. X-ray examination showed that the magnets detached and entered the distal ureter (14.0±1.9) days after magnetic compression. The recanalization of the severe single mid-ureteral stricture was successfully achieved. The gross specimens and histological examination of the anastomosis showed that the anastomosis remained patent and the mucosal healing was good. All experimental rabbits survived well after the operation without serious complications. Conclusion MCT provides a new idea and novel method for the treatment of mid-ureteral stricture. This study confirmed the feasibility of this technique in treating severe single mid-ureteral stricture in a rabbit model. The operation is relatively simple and has potential for clinical application.

Sinisan is a classical prescription developed and applied by ancient medical experts and it is first recorded in the Treatise on Cold Damage written by ZHANG Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Later physicians have modified this prescription based on this original one. The bibliometrics methods were used to analyze the key information and research trend of Sinisan. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria， 69 pieces of effective data were extracted， involving 67 ancient traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） books. The results showed that the name， composition， and decocting methods of Sinisan in later generations were inherited from the original record in the Treatise on Cold Damage. The original plants of medicinal materials used in Sinisan are basically clear. We recommend Bupleuri Radix as the dried root of Bupleurem scorzonerifolium， Paeoniae Radix Alba as the dried root of Paeonia lactiflora， Aurantii Fructus as the dried fruit of Citrus aurantium， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma as the dry root and rhizome of Glycyrrhiza uralensis. Raw materials of Bupleuri Radix and Paeoniae Radix Alba， Aurantii Fructus stir-fried with bran， and stir-fried Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma should be used for preparation of Sinisan. According to measurement system in the Han Dynasty， a bag of Sinisan is composed of 1.25 g Bupleuri Radix， 1.25 g Paeoniae Radix Alba， 1.25 g Aurantii Fructus， and 1.25 g Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma. The materials should be grounded into coarse powder and taken with a proper amount of rice soup， 3 times a day. Sinisan has the effects of regulating qi movement and harmonizing the liver and spleen. It can be used for treating reversal cold in limbs and cold damage. In modern clinical practice， Sinisan can be used to treat chronic gastritis， irritable bowel syndrome， and dyspepsia. The above research results provide scientific reference for the future research and development of Sinisan.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the impact of intergenerational substitution effect of the drugs with the same indication on fund expenditures for national medical insurance for this indication in China， taking national medical insurance negotiated drugs for non-small cell lung cancer （hereinafter referred to as “NSCLC national negotiation drugs”） as an example. METHODS The sales amounts of 15 types of NSCLC national negotiated drugs in secondary and tertiary public hospitals across seven sample provinces from 2017 to 2023 were collected from the Pharmaceutical Drug Database of the China National Pharmaceutical Industry Information Center. A sliding t-test and Mann-Kendall trend test were used to evaluate the trends in sales amounts and DDDs. Taking epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR）-tyrosine kinase inhibitors （TKIs） and anaplastic lymphoma kinase （ALK）-TKIs as examples， the generational substitution characteristics of these drugs were analyzed. RESULTS The change points of sales amounts and DDDs differed slightly across provinces； the change points of sales amount were mostly concentrated between the first quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2020， while those for DDDs were primarily concentrated in the first to second quarters of 2021. In five provinces， i.e. Beijing， Heilongjiang， Jiangsu， Sichuan and Shaanxi， sales amounts showed no significant upward trend after the breakpoints （P＞0.05）， whereas in Guangdong and Hubei， both sales amounts and DDDs continued to rise significantly following the breakpoints （P＜0.05）. Since 2020， the growth in sales amounts of EGFR-TKIs had slowed. After 2021， the sales amounts and DDDs of first- and second-generation EGFR-TKIs declined， while third-generation EGFR-TKIs showed clear substitution effects. The sales amounts of ALK-TKIs continuedto grow. However， the sales amounts and DDDs of first-generation ALK-TKIs had declined year by year， with second-generation ALK-TKIs demonstrating a significant substitution effect on first-generation ones， while third-generation ALK-TKIs had not yet shown a clear substitution trend. CONCLUSIONS With the annual access to and renewal of drugs in national medical insurance negotiations， the overall expenditure trend for NSCLC negotiated drugs comes to a plateau. The intergenerational substitution relationships of drugs with the same indication achieve a relative balance in fund expenditures for negotiated drugs with the same indication. It is recommended that pharmaceutical companies carefully consider their research pipelines， and that medical insurance authorities， during the renewal management process， pay attention to the impact of drug substitution effects on the overall actual expenditure of medical insurance funds for that specific target or the same indication， and scientifically evaluate the extent of price reductions during contract renewals.

Diabetic cataract, a prevalent ocular complication of diabetes mellitus, arises from a complex interplay of pathological mechanisms, with oxidative stress and glycation stress playing central roles. Autophagy, a critical cellular self-protection mechanism, sustains intracellular homeostasis by selectively degrading damaged organelles and misfolded proteins, thereby counteracting the detrimental effects of oxidative and glycation stress under hyperglycemic conditions. Emerging evidence indicates a synergistic interaction between glycation stress and oxidative stress, which may exacerbate autophagic dysfunction and accelerate the onset and progression of diabetic cataract. However, the precise molecular mechanisms underlying this relationship remain incompletely understood. This review systematically examines the regulatory role of autophagy inthe pathogenesis of diabetic cataract, with a particular focus on how autophagic impairment influences disease progression under the combined effects of glycation and oxidative stress. By elucidating these mechanisms, the paper aims to provide novel insights into molecular diagnostic approaches and targeted therapeutic strategies for diabetic cataract.

Tissue-resident memory T (TRM) cells are a recently defined subtype of non-recirculating memory T cells with longevity and protective functions in peripheral tissues. As an essential frontline defense against infections, TRM cells have been reported to robustly patrol the tissue microenvironment in malignancies. Accumulating evidence also implicates that TRM cells in the relapse of chronic inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis and vitiligo. In light of these developments, this review aims to synthesize these recent findings to enhance our understanding of TRM cell characteristics and actions. Therefore, after providing a brief overview of the general features of the TRM cells, including precursors, homing, retention, and maintenance, we discuss recent insights gained into their heterogeneous functions in skin diseases. Specifically, we explore their involvement in conditions such as psoriasis, vitiligo, fixed drug eruption - dermatological manifestations of drug reactions at the same spot, cutaneous T cell lymphoma, and melanoma. By integrating these diverse perspectives, this review develops a comprehensive model of TRM cell behavior in various skin-related pathologies. In conclusion, our review emphasizes that deciphering the characteristics and mechanisms of TRM cell actions holds potential not only for discovering methods to slow cancer growth but also for reducing the frequency of recurrent chronic inflammation in skin tissue.

Membrane protein degradation is a cutting-edge field in targeted protein degradation (TPD). Herein, we developed glypican-3 (GPC3)-mediated lysosome-targeting chimeras (GLTACs) as a novel strategy for the targeted degradation of tumor-specific membrane proteins. GLTACs utilize tumor-specific expression and endocytosis properties of GPC3 to degrade membrane proteins. By conjugating a GPC3-targeting peptide with the ligand of protein of interest (POI), GLTACs induce the formation of a ternary complex that is internalized into lysosomes, leading to the degradation of the POI. The effectiveness and specificity of GLTACs were validated by designing PD-L1, c-Met, and FGFR1 degraders. In particular, GLTAC WP0 potently degraded PD-L1 and induced T-cell-mediated tumor killing against HepG2 cells, highlighting the potential therapeutic applications. The development of GLTAC technology expands the scope of TPD strategies and opens new avenues for discovering novel therapeutic modalities against challenging protein targets.

Hematologic malignancies arise from hematopoietic or immune system tissues and are characterized by abnormal cellular growth.Ferroptosis,a newly recognized form of cell death,is driven by mechanisms such as iron me-tabolism,oxidative defense,and lipid peroxidation.Increasing evidence has highlighted a significant link between ferrop-tosis and various hematologic cancers.Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)has shown particular promise in the treatment of these cancers,offering unique therapeutic approaches.This article explores the role of ferroptosis modulation in hemato-logic malignancies and reviews the current understanding of how TCM's bioactive compounds and monomers exert their ef-fects in managing hematologic cancers,including leukemia,lymphoma,and multiple myeloma,through the induction of ferroptosis.The objective is to provide insight into potential strategies for targeting ferroptosis as a treatment approach for these malignancies.

Objective To investigate the association between cerebrospinal fluid(CSF)oligoclonal band(OCB)positivity and clinical manifestations in patients with neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder(NMOSD).Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data from patients with NMOSD treated at our hospital from May 2019 to January 2024 was conducted.Based on OCB test results,patients were categorized into OCB-positive and OCB-negative groups.We compared baseline characteristics between the two groups and analyzed the relationship between clinical features and OCB positivity.Results This study included a total of 62 patients,comprising 17 in the OCB+group and 45 in the OCB-group.Compared with the OCB-group,patients in the OCB+group exhibited more pronounced central nervous system inflammatory features.Specifically,OCB+group had significantly higher proportions of patients with cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell counts>8×10?/L(64.7%vs.26.7%,P=0.003)and elevated immunoglobulin indices(0.72 vs.0.61,P=0.037).Additionally,the OCB+group exhibited more complex and diverse clinical presentations.Specifically,this group showed a higher incidence of mild consciousness impairment during the acute phase(P=0.005)and a greater tendency to present with multiple core symptoms(≥3 core symptoms)occurring concurrently(52.9%vs.20.0%,P=0.025)and misdiagnosis(29.4%vs.8.9%,P=0.101).This was particularly notable when comparing to acute myelitis involving the cervical spinal cord(82.4%vs.53.3%,P=0.036)and acute diencephalic syndrome[41.2%vs.6.7%,P=0.004,including hyponatremia(35.3%vs.8.9%,P=0.033)].Multivariate logistic regression analysis demonstrated that OCB positivity(OR=3.895,95%CI:1.065-14.249)was significantly associated with the presence of multiple core symptoms.Conclusion In acute-phase NMOSD patients,OCB+is associated with significantly higher rates of co-occurrence of multiple core symptoms(≥3 core symptoms)and misdiagnosis.Notably,acute myelitis involving the cervical spinal cord and acute diencephalic clinical syndrome are particularly prevalent in this OCB+subgroup.The clinical manifestations are complex and diverse,suggesting the need for enhanced clinical identification and timely intervention.
