Huanglian Jiedutang （HLJDT）， as a classical formula for clearing heat and removing toxins， has been widely applied in the treatment of various clinical diseases in recent years， particularly during the fire-heat stage of stroke， where it has attracted considerable attention. Based on previous studies， this paper systematically elaborates on the research progress on the active components of HLJDT， its clinical application in ischemic stroke， and advances in studies on its mechanisms of action. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that HLJDT contains multiple active components， including baicalin， geniposide， and berberine. In the treatment of ischemic stroke， these components exert therapeutic effects through multi-target， multi-pathway， and multi-level mechanisms. Clinical studies have shown that HLJDT can increase cerebral blood flow， reduce cerebral infarct volume， and improve post-stroke physical dysfunction in patients with ischemic stroke. Experimental studies have indicated that HLJDT can improve neurological function scores and increase cerebral perfusion in experimental stroke models. In addition， the mechanisms underlying the anti-ischemic stroke effects of HLJDT may be related to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities， promotion of angiogenesis， and regulation of amino acid and energy metabolism. Although existing studies have confirmed that HLJDT exhibits multi-target and multi-pathway synergistic therapeutic characteristics， further large-sample randomized controlled trials are still needed to verify its long-term efficacy and to further elucidate the dynamic interaction network among components， targets， and pathways. Combined with network pharmacology and molecular docking analyses， this study further clarifies the synergistic targets of the core components （berberine， baicalin， and geniposide）， providing a theoretical basis for in-depth research and clinical translation of HLJDT in the treatment of ischemic stroke.

Obesity， a global chronic disease， is associated with adipose tissue dysfunction， which is one of the contributing factors to obesity. The cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） signaling pathway， a key regulator of lipid metabolism， plays a pivotal role in obesity development. Various of traditional Chinese medicine monomers， such as flavonoids， lignans， phenols， and terpenoids， as well as traditional Chinese medicine compound formulas like Xiaoyao powder， Shengmai powder， and Zexie decoction， can maintain energy homeostasis， balance adipose tissue function， regulate glucose metabolism， improve insulin resistance， and suppress inflammatory responses through cAMP signaling pathway regulation， thereby intervening in lipid metabolism for obesity treatment. Although a substantial amount of basic research has preliminarily elucidated the potential mechanisms by which traditional Chinese medicine intervenes in obesity through the cAMP signaling pathway， clinical translational research remains inadequate. There is an urgent need for large-sample， high-quality randomized controlled trials to validate these findings.

Objective: To investigate the status of antibiotic exposure in third grade primary school students in Shenzhen,so as to provide evidence for the scientific management of antibiotic use and reduction of population health risks. Methods: From 1 September to 30 October 2021, 200 third grade students from 8 primary schools in Luohu District of Shenzhen were selected by cluster random sampling as research subjects. The body composition was measured, urine samples were collected, and the contents of 35 antibiotics in the samples were detected by mass spectrometry. Relevant dietary habit information of the subjects was collected via questionnaires. The Chi square test was used to compare the detection rate of antibiotics among different genders and weight grades. The Logistic regression model was adopted to evaluate the correlation between the target antibiotic detection rate and dietary habits. Results: At least one type of antibiotic was detected in 198 of the subjects with an overall detection rate of 99.0% . Among the 35 target antibiotics, 23 were detected with detection rates ranging from 0.5%-69.5%. Quinolones had the highest detection rate of 86.5% , followed by macrolides and sulfonamides with detection rates of 77.5% and 76.5%, respectively. The detection rate of antibiotics was 98.3% in boys and 100.0% in girls with no statistically significant difference ( χ 2=1.35, P >0.05). The detection rates of quinolones, macrolides, and sulfonamides varied significantly among children with different BMI categories ( χ 2=38.18, 12.45, 9.76 , all P <0.05). The multivariate Logistic regression model analysis showed that the macrolide detection rate was affected by genders( OR =0.42) and the sulfonamide detection rate was significantly correlated with the frequency of dairy product consumption and being overweight( OR =2.01)(both P <0.05). Enrofloxacin was associated with the weekly consumption frequency of livestock meat such as pork, beef and mutton, as well as the weekly consumption frequency of poultry meat such as chicken, duck and goose ( OR = 2.81,2.17,both P <0.05). Trimethoprim was associated with the weekly frequency of drinking pure milk ( OR =5.49, P < 0.05 ). Conclusions Third grade primary school students in Shenzhen are generally exposed to low dose antibiotics. Macrolides, quinolones, and sulfonamides may be associated with the risk of obesity in primary school students.

Pancreatic cancer is a highly malignant solid tumor of the digestive system with extremely poor treatment prognosis. Although its incidence rate is low， its mortality rate is extremely high. In recent years， the number of diagnosed cases worldwide has continued to rise， making pancreatic cancer the sixth leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. Currently， clinical treatment primarily relies on operation and chemotherapy to suppress tumors. However， these approaches face challenges such as suboptimal efficacy， high postoperative recurrence rates， and severe adverse reactions. Therefore， identifying safe and effective treatment modalities remains a pressing challenge for the medical community. In recent years， research on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） interventions for pancreatic cancer has increased significantly. Multiple studies have shown that single-herb TCM， TCM formulas， and their derived single compounds can regulate the levels of tumor cell signaling pathways through multiple action targets. They inhibit the development and progression of pancreatic cancer by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation， promoting cell apoptosis， inhibiting tumor angiogenesis， reducing cancer cell invasion and migration capabilities， regulating the cell cycle， and modulating the tumor microenvironment. Additionally， TCM has the advantages of significantly enhancing the anticancer efficacy of chemotherapy drugs and causing fewer adverse reactions. However， the specific action mechanisms by which TCM intervenes in pancreatic cancer remain unclear. Further extensive research is still needed to validate the role of regulating classical signaling pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， Wnt/β-catenin， nuclear transcription factor-κB （NF-κB）， notch， and hedgehog in the treatment of pancreatic cancer. Therefore， this paper reviewed Chinese and international studies on TCM intervention in pancreatic cancer through relevant signaling pathways in recent years， summarized the potential action mechanisms of TCM in the treatment of pancreatic cancer， and provided references for related research in the future.

Vasopressin is a non-catecholamine agent that induces vasoconstriction via V1 receptors. It is currently regarded as a second-line vasopressor in the treatment of septic shock. According to the Surviving Sepsis Campaign Guidelines for the Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock in Adults,vasopressin is recommended when norepinephrine doses reach 0.25–0.50 μg/（kg·min）and normal blood pressure cannot be maintained. However,hemodynamic alterations in pediatric septic shock differ significantly from those observed in adults,and there is currently insufficient evidence to support the use of vasopressin in pediatric septic shock. This review,in conjunction with recent clinical research data,explored the optimal timing of initiation,methods of administration,and clinical evaluation criteria for vasopressin in septic shock,aiming to provide valuable references for the optimization of septic shock management.

Objective:To explore the application value of part-cut jejunal transection in digestive tract reconstruction of totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy.Methods:The propensity score matching and retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 112 patients with gastric cancer who underwent totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy in The Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from June 2018 to September 2022 were collected. There were 81 males and 31 females, aged (70±8)years. Among the 112 patients, 60 patients undergoing diges-tive tract reconstruction by Roux-en-Y anastomosis with part-cut jejunum were set as the part-cut group, and 52 patients undergoing digestive tract reconstruction by traditional Roux-en-Y anasto-mosis were set as the traditional group. Observation indicators: (1) propensity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching; (2) intraopera-tive and postoperative conditions; (3) follow-up. Comparison of measurement data with normal dis-tribution between groups was conducted using the independent sample t test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Com-parison of ordinal data was conducted using the nonparametic rank sum test. Propensity score matching was performed using the 1∶1 nearest neighbor matching method, with the caliper value of 0.02. Results:(1) Propensity score matching status and comparison of clinical data of patients between the two groups after matching. Of the 112 patients, 90 patients were successfully matched, with 45 cases in each of the part-cut group and the traditional group. After propensity score matching, the elimination of body mass index, clinical TNM staging confounding bias ensured comparability. (2) Intraoperative and postoperative conditions. After propensity score matching, the total operation time and digestive tract reconstruction time of patients in the part-cut group were (217.0±15.1)minutes and (34.7±1.8)minutes, versus (252.6±21.9)minutes and (52.6±7.4)minutes in the traditional group, respectively, showing significant differences in the above indicators between the two groups ( t=?8.97, ?15.66, P<0.05). (3) Follow-up. After propensity score matching, 90 patients were followed up postoperatively for (47±15)months. During the follow-up, no patient in either group received secondary surgery, and there was no death. There were 3 cases and 10 cases of Roux stasis syndrome in the part-cut group and the traditional group, respectively, showing a significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.41, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional Roux-en-Y anastomosis, the Roux-en-Y anastomosis with part-cut jejunum in totally laparoscopic total gastrectomy can signifi-cantly shorten the time for digestive tract reconstruction and reduce the incidence of postoperative Roux stasis syndrome.

Objective To explore the relationship between diffusion kurtosis imaging(DKI)based on MR and macrophage inflammatory protein 1 alpha(MIP-1α)and the prognosis of patient with Parkinson's disease,with constructing a prognostic model.Methods A total of 128 Parkinson's disease patients were selected and randomly divided into training set(n=102)and validation set(n=26)according to the ratio of 8∶2.After one year of treatment with oral levodopa drugs combined with deep brain stimula-tion of subthalamic nucleus,all patients were divided into good prognosis and poor prognosis groups.The serum MIP-1α and MR DKI parameters were compared between the two groups to screen for factors affecting poor prognosis of Parkinson's disease,and a risk prediction model was constructed and validated.Results Among 128 Parkinson's disease patients,53 had poor prognosis,including 44 in the training set and 9 in the validation set.The fractional anisotropy(FA)and mean kurtosis(MK)of the left and right globus pallidus,mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score in the poor prognosis group were significantly lower than those in the good prognosis group,while serum MIP-1α in the poor prognosis group was significantly higher than that in the good prognosis group(P＜0.05).Left globus pallidus FA,left globus pallidus MK,right globus pallidus FA,right globus pallidus MK,MMSE score,and serum MIP-1α were the factors affecting poor prognosis in Parkinson's disease patients(P＜0.05).The sensitivity,specificity,and area under the curve(AUG)of the nomogram model for predicting poor prognosis in Parkinson's disease patients in the training and validation sets were 0.823 and 0.749,0.751 and 0.764,0.821 and 0.802,respectively.Conclusion FA and MK of the left globus pallidus,FA and MK of the right globus pallidus,and serum MIP-1α are associated with poor prognosis in Parkinson's disease patients.Constructing a risk model can help identify the risk of poor prognosis in the early stage.

OBJECTIVE To explore the risk factors for central line-associated bloodstream infection(CLABSI)in the maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)patients based on the informatization surveillance system and establish and verify the risk prediction model so as to provide bases for early identification and prevention of CLABSI.METHODS A total of 300 MHD patients who were treated in hemodialysis center of the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from Jan.2020 to Dec.2023 were recruited as the research subjects and were randomly divided into the training set group with 210 cases and the validation set group with 90 cases in a 7∶3 ratio.The risk factors for the CLABSI were analyzed,the prediction model was established and verified.The performance of the model was evaluated by the area under the curve(AUC)of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves and Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness of fit test.RESULTS Among the 300 MHD patients who were treated with central venous catheters,32 were diagnosed with CLABSI,and the incidence was 0.65 per 1,000 catheter days.Multivari-ate analysis showed that catheter indwelling time,repeated catheterization,previous history of catheter-related in-fection and diabetes mellitus were the risk factors for the CLABSI in the MHD patients(P＜0.05).The model based on the logistic regression equation was established as follows:logit(P)=-5.661+0.024 × catheter in-dwelling duration(week)+2.037 × repeated catheterization+1.546 × previous history of catheter-related infec-tion+3.391× diabetes mellitus.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the training set was 0.916(95％CI:0.837 to 0.994),with the sensitivity 87.00％,the specificity 86.63％,Youden index 0.736;the AUC of the vali-dation set was 0.797(95％CI:0.632 to 0.962),with the sensitivity 77.78％,the specificity 82.72％,the Youden index 0.605.The model showed excellent discrimination and calibration degree.CONCLUSION The logistic regres-sion equation that is established based on the 4 risk factors,catheter indwelling duration,repeated catheterization,previous history of catheter-related infection and diabetes mellitus,shows remarkable predictive efficiency,and it can provide evidence for clinical screening and prevention of CLABSI.
