ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of Shuanghua drink in treating primary dysmenorrhea in the rat model and explore its mechanism of action. MethodsAn oxytocin-induced writhing mouse model was established to evaluate the analgesic effect of Shuanghua drink. Forty-eight non-pregnant female institute of cancer research （ICR） mice were randomly divided into six groups， including a blank group， a model group， an ibuprofen group （85.00 mg·kg^-1）， a low-dose group of Shuanghua drink （7.14 mL·kg^-1）， a medium-dose group of Shuanghua drink （14.28 mL·kg^-1）， and a high-dose group of Shuanghua drink （28.57 mL·kg^-1）. Each group consisted of eight mice. All treatment groups received daily intragastric administration at corresponding doses for 10 consecutive days. One hour after the final administration， 2 U of oxytocin was intraperitoneally injected per mouse. The writhing latency and number of writhing within 20 minutes were recorded. A primary dysmenorrhea rat model was established by using estradiol benzoate and oxytocin to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Shuanghua drink on the contraction of uterine smooth muscle. Forty-eight non-pregnant female Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were divided into six groups， including a blank group， a model group， an ibuprofen group （51.00 mg·kg^-1）， a low-dose group of Shuanghua drink （4.28 mL·kg^-1）， a medium-dose group of Shuanghua drink （8.57 mL·kg^-1）， and a high-dose group of Shuanghua drink （17.10 mL·kg^-1）. Each group consisted of eight rats. Rats received subcutaneous injections of estradiol benzoate for 10 consecutive days to enhance uterine sensitivity. On the eleventh day， oxytocin （2 U/rat） was intraperitoneally administered to induce abnormal uterine contractions for establishing the primary dysmenorrhea model. All treatment groups received daily intragastric administration from the second day of modeling for 10 days. The effects of Shuanghua drink were evaluated by using parameters including uterine motility and the variation rate of uterine motility. The mechanism of action was investigated in rats with primary dysmenorrhea. The content of prostaglandin F_2α （PGF_2α）， prostaglandin E₂ （PGE₂）， thromboxane B₂ （TXB₂）， prostacyclin metabolite （6-keto-PGF_1α）， and β-endorphin （β-EP） in uterine tissue of rats was detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. The changes in the content of nitric oxide （NO） and inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） were analyzed via colorimetric assay. Western blot was performed to determine the content of phosphorylated inhibitor of kappa B kinase beta （p-IKKβ）/IKKβ， phosphorylated inhibitor of kappa B alpha （p-IκBα）， IκBα， phosphorylated p65 （p-p65）， p65， and cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2） proteins in uterine tissue of rats. ResultsIn the oxytocin-induced writhing mouse model， the model group exhibited significantly shortened writhing latency and increased writhing frequency compared to the control group （P<0.01）. Both the ibuprofen group and the high-dose group of Shuanghua drink displayed prolonged writhing latency （P<0.05）， while the ibuprofen group and the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Shuanghua drink exhibited reduced writhing frequency （P<0.01）. In the primary dysmenorrhea rat model， the uterine motility and its variation rate in the model group were significantly higher than those in the blank group （P<0.01）. These parameters were markedly suppressed by ibuprofen and Shuanghua drink at all tested doses （P<0.01）. For the mechanism of action， the model group showed significantly increased PGF_2α/PGE₂， TXB₂/6-keto-PGF_1α， NO， and iNOS in uterine tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01） and significantly decreased β-EP （P<0.01）. These parameters were significantly attenuated in the ibuprofen group and the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Shuanghua drink. The PGF_2α/PGE₂ （P<0.01）， TXB₂/6-keto-PGF_1α （P<0.01）， NO （medium-dose group P<0.05）， and iNOS （P<0.01） were reduced， and the β-EP （medium-dose group P<0.05） was up-regulated. Compared to the model group， the ibuprofen group and medium-dose group of Shuanghua drink showed significantly increased content of β-EP in the serum of rats （P<0.05）. Compared to the blank group， the model group showed significantly elevated expressions of COX-2， p-IKKβ/IKKβ， p-IκBα/IκBα， and p-p65/p65 proteins （P<0.01） and significantly reduced anti-inflammatory protein IκBα （P<0.05）. Compared to the model group， the ibuprofen group and the low-dose， medium-dose， and high-dose groups of Shuanghua drink showed significantly reduced expressions of COX-2 （P<0.01）， p-IKKβ/IKKβ （P<0.01）， p-IκBα/IκBα （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and p-p65/p65（P<0.01） and up-regulated expression of IκBα protein （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionShuanghua drink effectively alleviates primary dysmenorrhea through analgesia and suppression of abnormal contractions of uterine smooth muscle. Its mechanism may be mediated by reduced levels of PGF_2α/PGE₂， TXB₂/6-keto-PGF_1α， iNOS， and NO， elevated β-EP level， and inhibited COX-2/NF-κB signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND:Degenerative scoliosis is defined as a condition that occurs in adulthood with a coronal cobb angle of the spine>10° accompanied by sagittal deformity and rotational subluxation,which often produces symptoms of spinal cord and nerve compression,such as lumbar pain,lower limb pain,numbness,weakness,and neurogenic claudication.The finite element method is a mechanical analysis technique for computer modelling,which can be used for spinal mechanics research by building digital models that can realistically restore the human spine model and design modifications. OBJECTIVE:To review the application of finite element method in the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis. METHODS:The literature databases CNKI,PubMed,and Web of Science were searched for articles on the application of finite element method in degenerative scoliosis published before October 2023.Search terms were"finite element analysis,biomechanics,stress analysis,degenerative scoliosis,adult spinal deformity"in Chinese and English.Fifty-four papers were finally included. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The biomechanical findings from the degenerative scoliosis model constructed using the finite element method were identical to those from the in vivo experimental studies,which proves that the finite element method has a high practical value in degenerative scoliosis.(2)The study of the etiology and treatment of degenerative scoliosis by the finite element method is conducive to the prevention of the occurrence of the scoliosis,slowing down the progress of the scoliosis,the development of a more appropriate treatment plan,the reduction of complications,and the promotion of the patients'surgical operation.(3)The finite element method has gradually evolved from a single bony structure to the inclusion of soft tissues such as muscle ligaments,and the small sample content is increasingly unable to meet the research needs.(4)The finite element method has much room for exploration in degenerative scoliosis.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of compound Xishu granules （CXG） in inhibiting the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by regulating ferroptosis. MethodsThe transplanted tumor model of human Huh7 was established with nude mice and the successfully modeled mice were randomized into model， Fufang Banmao （0.21 g·kg^-1）， low-dose （1.87 g·kg^-1） CXG， medium-dose （3.74 g·kg^-1） CXG， and high-dose （7.49 g·kg^-1） CXG groups. Mice were administrated with drinking water or CXG for 28 days， and the body weight and tumor volume were measured every 4 days. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe the histopathological changes of tumors. The cell-counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to examine the survival rate of Huh7 cells treated with different concentrations （0， 31.25， 62.5， 125， 250， 500， 1 000 mg·L^-1） of CXG for 24 h and 48 h. CA-AM， DCFH-DA， and C11-BODIPY^581/591 fluorescent probes were used to determine the intracellular levels of ferrous ion （Fe²⁺）， reactive oxygen species （ROS）， and lipid peroxide （LPO）， respectively. The colorimetric method was employed to measure the levels of glutathione （GSH） and superoxide dismutase （SOD）. Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， transferrin receptor 1 （TFR1）， and ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）， respectively. ResultsIn the animal experiment， compared with the model group， the drug treatment groups showed reductions in the tumor volume from day 12 （P<0.01）. After treatment， the Fufang Banmao and low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups had lower tumor volume， relative tumor volume， and tumor weight than the model group （P<0.05）， with tumor inhibition rates of 48.99%， 79.93%， 91.38%， and 97.36%， respectively. Moreover， the CXG groups had lower tumor volume and relative tumor volume （P<0.05 in all the three dose groups） and lower tumor weight （P<0.05 in medium-dose and high-dose groups） than the Fufang Banmao group. Compared with the model group， the drug treatment groups showed reduced number of tumor cells， necrotic foci with karyopyknosis， nuclear fragmentation， and nucleolysis， and the high-dose CXG group showed an increase in the proportion of interstitial fibroblasts. In the cell experiment， compared with the blank group， CXG reduced the survival rate of Huh7 cells in a dose-dependent manner after incubation for 24 h and 48 h （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， the RSL3 group and the low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups showed a decrease in the relative fluorescence intensity of CA-AM and increases in the fluorescence intensity of DCFH-DA and fluorescence ratio of C11-BODIPY^581/591， which indicated elevations in the levels of Fe²⁺ （P<0.01）， ROS （P<0.05）， and LPO （P<0.01）， respectively. Compared with the blank group， the RSL3 and low-， medium-， and high-dose CXG groups showed lowered levels of GSH and SOD （P<0.05）. In addition， the RSL3 group and the medium- and high-dose CXG groups showed down-regulated expression of GPX4 and FTH1 （P<0.05）， and the low- and high-dose CXG groups presented up-regulated expression of TFR1 （P<0.05）. ConclusionCXG suppresses the proliferation of hepatocellular carcinoma cells by inducing ferroptosis via downregulating the GSH-GPX4 signaling axis and increasing intracellular Fe²⁺and LPO levels.

OBJECTIVE To explore the willingness to pay （WTP） of Urumqi residents for community pharmacies’ medication guidance services and its influencing factors， so as to provide data support for the optimization of community pharmacy services and the establishment of a fee structure for medication guidance services. METHODS A stratified quota sampling method was employed to select 14 communities in Urumqi City. From April to June 2025， a combined offline and online questionnaire survey was conducted among adult residents in these communities. The contingent valuation method was used to construct three hypothetical scenarios （namely， basic， enhanced and extended services） of medication counselling in community pharmacies to assess residents’ WTP for these services. Binary Logistic regression was employed to analyze the influencing factors of WTP. RESULTS A total of 576 valid questionnaires were obtained. Under the scenarios of basic， enhanced and extended services， 38.54%， 49.65% and 67.19% of the respondents expressed WTP for the services， respectively. Occupational type， type of basic medical insurance， annual income， perception of pharmacists’ profession， and acceptance level of the service were identified as major influencing factors for WTP （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The willingness of residents in Urumqi to pay for medication counseling services provided by pharmacists in community pharmacies significantly increases with the enrichment of service content. It is recommended to incorporate basic medication counselling services provided by pharmacists in community pharmacies into medical insurance payment， while value-added services should be partially or fully self-paid by residents. Additionally， efforts should be made to strengthen the promotion of the professional and service value of licensed pharmacists， so as to facilitate the high-quality development of pharmaceutical care.

Aim To investigate the mechanism of py-roptosis mediated by the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway and the intervention effect of Radix Angelica Sinensis and Radix Astragalus ultrafiltration extract(RAS-RA)in radiation-induced pulmonary fi-brosis.Methods Fifty Wistar rats were randomly di-vided into five groups,with ten rats in each group.Ex-cept for the blank control group,all other groups of rats were anesthetized and received a single dose of 40 Gy X-ray local chest radiation to establish a radiation-in-duced pulmonary fibrosis rat model.After radiation,the rats in the RAS-RA intervention groups were orally administered doses of 0.12,0.24 and 0.48 g·kg-1 once a day for 30 days.The average weight and lung index of the rats were observed after 30 days of contin-uous administration.Hydroxyproline(HYP)content in lung tissue was determined by hydrolysis method.The levels of IL-18 and IL-1 β in serum were detected by ELISA.Lung tissue pathological changes were ob-served by HE and Masson staining.Ultrastructural changes in lung tissue were observed by transmission e-lectron microscopy.The expression levels of NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD pyroptosis pathway-related proteins and fibrosis-related proteins in lung tissue were detec-ted by Western blot.Results Compared with the blank group,the HYP content in lung tissue and the levels of IL-18 and IL-1 β in serum significantly in-creased in the model group(P＜0.01).HE and Mas-son staining showed inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen fiber deposition.Transmission electron mi-croscopy revealed increased damaged mitochondria,disordered arrangement,irregular morphology,shallow matrix,outer membrane rupture,mostly fractured and shortened cristae,mild expansion,increased electron density of individual mitochondrial matrix,mild sparse structure of lamellar bodies,partial disorder,unclear organelles,and characteristic changes of pyroptosis.Western blot analysis showed increased expression of caspase-1,GSDMD,NLRP3,CoL-Ⅰ,α-SMA,and CoL-Ⅲ proteins(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,the RAS-RA intervention group showed signifi-cant improvement in body mass index and lung index of rats,decreased levels of IL-18 and IL-1 β inflammatory factors(P＜0.01),improved mitochondrial structure,reduced degree of fibrosis,and decreased expression of caspase-1,GSDMD,NLRP3,COL-Ⅰ,COL-Ⅲ,and α-SMA proteins in lung tissue(P＜0.01).Conclusion RAS-RA has an inhibitory effect on radiation-in-duced pulmonary fibrosis,and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of pyroptosis through the regu-lation of the NLRP3/caspase-1/GSDMD signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction steel plate in the treatment of infected anterior pelvic ring fracture.Methods From January 2017 to March 2022,11 patients with infected ante-rior pelvic ring fracture were treated with antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction steel plate including 7 males and 4 fe-males and the age ranged from 27 to 49 years old.The pelvic fractures were classified according to the Tile typology:4 cases of Cl type,4 cases of C2 type,and 3 cases of C3 type.Among them,2 cases of infected anterior ring were infected after internal fixation of anterior ring,and 9 patients were infected with infected anterior ring due to incomplete early debridement,which was classified as infected according to the injury severity score(ISS)for 24 to 38 scores.The anterior ring was internally fixed by extended debridement,irrigation,and antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction plate,and the posterior ring fractures were all closed reduction and internally fixed with sacroiliac screws.Results All 11 cases obtained follow-up from 13 to 20 months.A-mong them,2 patients had recurrence of postoperative infection,1 case was re-dissected and replaced with antibiotic bone cement-coated internal fixation,and 1 case had a milder infection without accumulation of the medullary cavity,and the infection was controlled by retaining the plate and replacing the antibiotic bone cement only after dissecting.Two cases developed incisional oozing,which healed after removal of the internal fixation three months postoperatively.All patients did not show pelvic fracture redisplacement or reinfection during the follow-up period.All 11 cases eventually healed bony.At the final follow-up,according to the Matta score,the fracture reduction was excellent in 6 cases,good in 4,and possible in 1.According to the Majeed functional score,it was excellent in 6,good in 3,and possible in 2.Conclusion Antibiotic bone cement covered reconstruction plate is ef-fective in the treatment of infected anterior pelvic ring fracture,with high intraoperative safety and low recurrence rate of infec-tion,which is conducive to the early postoperative rehabilitation and significantly shortens the course of the disease.

Objective:To explore the effect of different concentrations of Chinese herbal formula,Er-miao-san(EMS)immune regulatory gene on Gnαq expression in rats with collagen-induced arthritis(CIA).Methods:In the study,we established a CIA model,and randomly divided into model groups,EMS group with 1.5,3.0 and 4.5 g/kg(L-EMS,M-EMS,H-EMS)were adminis-tered to CIA rats by gavage,methotrexate was used as a positive control group(MTX).The rats in each group were given correspond-ing drugs for treatment,and the normal control group and model group were given the same amount of normal saline gavage.ELISA detects the expression of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in rats'serum.The mRNA and protein expression of Gnαq were analyzed using qRT-PCR and Western blot.The localization of Gnαq was performed by IHC.Results:The joint of rats in CIA group showed obvious damage,tissue hyperplasia and inflammatory infiltration;the joint tissue destruction and proliferation of MTX and EMS groups were reduced;the expressions of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in CIA group were extremely increased(P<0.01).The expressions of IL-1β(except H-EMS group),IL-6 and TNF-α in MTX and EMS groups were significantly lower than those in CIA group(P<0.05).The expressions of IL-1β,IL-6 and TNF-α in L-EMS group were lower than those in the M-EMS and H-EMS groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).The expression of Gnαq mRNA and protein in spleen and joints of CIA group were higher than those of Control group(P<0.01).The expression of Gnαq mRNA and protein in spleen and joints of EMS and MTX groups were lower than those of CIA group(P<0.05).The expression of Gnαq mRNA and protein in the dose of 1.5 g/kg of EMS group was lower than those of the other groups(P<0.01,P<0.05).Different degree of posi-tive signal was detected in spleen and joints in different groups.Conclusion:Gnαq is expressed in spleen and joints of CIA rats,may participate in the formation of inflammatory response in CIA rats,and then mediate the formation and development of RA by down-reg-ulating the expression of Gnαq.

Objective:To investigate clinical significance of WDR4 gene expression,prognosis and immune infiltration in lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD).Methods:Clinicopathological data and WDR4 mRNA expression data of 535 patients with LUAD were collected through TCGA database,WDR4 protein expression data of 111 patients with LUAD were collected through CPTAC database.Associations between WDR4 expression and various clinicopathological features,as well as with overall survival in LUAD were ana-lyzed by R software.Diagnostic value of WDR4 expression in LUAD were assessed by ROC.Correlation between WDR4 expression and immune infiltration in tumor microenvironment in LUAD were investigated by Estimates and ssGSEA algorithms.Results:WDR4 mRNA expression in LUAD was significantly higher than that in normal lung tissues(all P<0.001).Protein expression of WDR4 in LUAD was also significantly up-regulated(P<0.05).Univariate analysis showed that expression of WDR4 was correlated with lymph node metastasis(P<0.05).Log-rank test showed that overall survival of patients with LUAD in WDR4 high expression group was significantly lower than that in low expression group(P=0.004).Multivariate Cox analysis revealed that T stage,lymph node metasta-sis and WDR4 mRNA expression remained independently associated with prognosis of LUAD patients.Death risk in patients with high expression of WDR4 mRNA was 1.478 times that of patients with low expression(95%CI:1.041～2.097).ROC curve analysis showed that WDR4 mRNA expression predicted diagnosis of LUAD to high extent(AUC=0.912,95%CI:0.885～0.935).High expression of WDR4 was negatively correlated with tumor microenvironment immune infiltration(all P<0.05).Conclusion:WDR4 expression in LUAD is significantly higher than that in normal lung tissue,and high WDR4 expression indicates poor prognosis in patients with LUAD.High expression of WDR4 inhibits immune infiltration in tumor microenvironment.WDR4 may be a novel potential biomarker for diagnosis and prognosis of patients with LUAD and therapeutic target.

This study was aimed at analyzing the molecular epidemiological characteristics of all 14 cases of human infection with avian influenza A(H7N9)virus in Xinjiang from 2014 to 2018,to provide a scientific basis for prevention,control,and treatment.The genomic sequence was obtained through high-throughput gene sequencing after nucleic acid extraction.Homolo-gy analysis,evolution analysis,mutation locus analysis,and homology modeling were performed in bioinformatics analysis software.The nucleotide homology and amino acid homology of the HA gene in 14 human infected H7N9 viruses were(97.39％-100％)and(98.38％-100％),respectively.The nucleotide homology of the NA gene and the amino acid homology ranged from 97.73％to 100％.All viruses were low pathogenic avian influenza viruses belonging to the Yangtze River Delta lin-eage and were divided into two subclades,which were most similar to the A/Hunan/02650/2016 vaccine strain.All HA pro-teins G186V and T160A were mutated;13 strains of Q226L were mutated;and none of the four key neuraminidase inhibitor resistance sites of NA protein were mutated.All sites of M2 protein S31N and V27A were mutated,all sites of PB1 protein T368V were mutated,and all sites of PA protein K356R were mutated.Xinjiang H7N9 virus exhibited double receptor bind-ing,and was resistant to amantadine drugs and sensitive to neuraminidase inhibitors,which may be used in early disease sta-ges.Strengthened monitoring and timely detection of avian in-fluenza virus genome changes will be critical for prevention and control,and formulation of countermeasures.
