ObjectiveTo investigate the migration and distribution characteristics of chemical constituents in blood and hippocampal tissues before and after vinegar processing of Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride（CRPV）， and to explore the potential material basis and mechanisms underlying their regulatory effects on emotional disorders by comparing the effects of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV. MethodsUltra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS） was employed to characterize and identify the chemical constituents of raw and vinegar-processed products of CRPV extracts， as well as their migrating components in blood and hippocampal tissues after oral administration. Reference standards， databases， and relevant literature were utilized for compound annotation， with data processing performed using PeakView 1.2 software. Seventy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into seven groups， including the blank group， model group， diazepam group（2.5 mg·kg^-1）， raw CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， and vinegar-processed CRPV low/high dose groups（0.6， 1.2 g·kg^-1）， with 10 mice per group. Except for the blank group， all other groups underwent chronic restraint stress（2 h·d^-1） for 20 d. Each drug-treated group received oral administration at the predetermined dose starting 10 d after modeling， with a total treatment duration of 10 d. Following model-based drug administration， mice underwent open-field， forced swimming， and elevated plus maze tests. After anesthesia with isoflurane， whole brains were collected from each group of mice， and hippocampi were dissected. Reactive oxygen species（ROS） level in hippocampal tissues was quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA）. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe hippocampal tissue morphology. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect neuronal nuclei（NeuN） and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha（PPARα） expressions in hippocampal tissue. Then， pharmacodynamic evaluations were conducted to assess the effects of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV on mood disorders， exploring the potential mechanisms. ResultsVinegar processing caused significant changes in the chemical composition of CRPV， with 18 components showing increased relative content and 35 components showing decreased relative content. The primary changes occurred in flavonoid compounds， including 20 flavonoids， 20 flavonoid glycosides， 3 triterpenes， 3 phenolic acids， 1 alkaloid， and 6 other compounds. Twenty-one components were detected in blood（15 methoxyflavones， 4 flavonoid glycosides， and 2 phenolic acids）， with 17 shared between raw and vinegar-processed CRPV. Seven components reached hippocampal tissues（all common to both forms）. In regulating emotional disorders， Vinegar-processed CRPV exhibited superior antidepressant-like effects compared to raw products. HE staining revealed that both treatments improved hippocampal neuronal morphology， particularly in the damaged CA1 and CA3 regions. Immunofluorescence and ELISA analyses demonstrated that both raw and vinegar-processed CRPV significantly modulated NeuN and PPARα expressions in hippocampal tissue while alleviating oxidative stress induced by excessive ROS（P<0.05）. ConclusionThe chemical composition of CRPV undergoes changes after vinegar processing， but the migrating components in blood and hippocampus are primarily methoxyflavonoids. These components may serve as the potential material basis for activating the PPARα pathway， thereby negatively regulating ROS generation in the hippocampus， reducing oxidative stress， and promoting the development of NeuN-positive neurons. These findings provide experimental evidence for enhancing quality standards， pharmacodynamic material research， and active drug development of raw and vinegar-processed CRPV.

Objective To estimate the prevalence of calcified nodule(CN)among patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)and identify the possible risk factors associated with an increased CN risk.Methods Databases include PubMed,Web of Science and Embase was conducted to identify studies reporting the prevalence and/or risk factors of CN.For this databases,the search was from inception to January 1,2024.Data analyses was performed using R statistical Software 4.2.2.Results A total of 46 studies involving 17 926 patients were included.Among them,13 studies with 4 187 patients reported both the prevalence and associated risk factors.The overall prevalence of CN was found to be 5.72％(95％CI 4.47％-7.31％),while in studies reporting both the prevalence and risk factors,the CN prevalence was slightly higher at 8.72％(95％CI 6.43％-11.71％).Hypertension(OR 1.75,95％CI 1.29-2.37),diabetes(OR 1.84,95％CI 1.46-2.33),chronic kidney disease(OR 2.50,95％CI 1.67-3.74),and hemodialysis(OR 7.77,95％CI 4.77-12.67)were associated with an elevated CN risk(all P＜0.001).Conversely,obesity(OR 0.39,95％CI 0.18-0.83)and history of smoking(OR 0.61,95％CI 0.47-0.80)were linked to a decreased CN risk(both P＜0.05).Conclusions The overall prevalence of CN is relatively low among patients with CAD.However,the prevalence of CN is influenced by a variety of clinical factors.Further research is warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.

Cervical spinal cord injury without fracture-dislocation (CSCIWFD) is referred to as a special type of cervical spinal cord injury characterized by traumatic spinal cord dysfunction and no significant bony structural abnormalities on imagines. Duo to the high risk of missed diagnosis during the initial consultation, CSCIWFD may lead to progressive neurological deterioration or even complete paralysis, severely impacting patients′ prognosis. Currently, there are no established consensuses over the diagnosis and treatment of CSCIWFD, such as the lack of evidence-based standards for indications of non-surgical treatment and risk of secondary neurological injury, as well as debates over the optimal timing for surgical intervention and indications for different surgical approaches. To address these issues, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized experts in the relevant fields to formulate Diagnosis and treatment guideline for acute cervical spinal cord injury without fracture- dislocation in adults ( version 2025) . Based on evidence-based medicine and the principles of scientific rigor and clinical applicability, the guidelines proposed 11 recommendations covering terminology, diagnosis, evaluation treatment, and rehabilitation, etc., aiming to standardize the management of CSCIWFD.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

Thoracolumbar spine fracture often leads to severe pain, functional impairments, and neurological deficits, for which open reduction and internal fixation can effectively restore the spinal structural stability. Open decompression and reduction with internal fixation can help relieve spinal cord compression and improve spinal function in cases of concomitant cord injury. Although spinal stability can be restored through surgery, patients often face chronic pain and functional impairments postoperatively. A postoperative rehabilitation program is critical in optimizing therapeutic outcomes, reducing complications, and minimizing the risk of secondary injuries. However, current rehabilitation methods, such as physical therapy, functional training, and pain management, are confronted with problems in clinical practice, including significant variation in efficacy, poor patient adherence, and prolonged rehabilitation period. There is an urgent need for a unified rehabilitation strategy to address these problems. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Physicians Branch of the Chinese Medical Association and the Spine Health Professional Committee of the Chinese Human Health Technology Promotion Association organized experts from relevant fields to formulate Evidence-based guidelines for rehabilitation treatment after internal fixation of thoracolumbar spine fracture in adults ( version 2025) by integrating evidences from clinical researches and advanced rehabilitation concepts at home and abroad. A total number of 14 recommendations concerning the rehabilitation treatment with multimodal analgesia, psychological intervention, deep vein thrombosis prevention, core muscle and extremity exercise, appropriate use of braces, early weight-bearing, device-aided rehabilitation exercise, neuroregulatory therapy, rehabilitation team were put forward, aiming to standardize the post-operative rehabilitation process following internal fixation, promote the functional recovery, and enhance patients′ quality of life.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

Under the Healthy China strategy, the training of preventive medicine professionals should conform to the development of the times and the needs of public health. The article analyzed the problem of "disconnection between medical care and prevention" in teaching the course of Obstetrics and Gynecology for students majoring in preventive medicine, and proposed to strengthen the strategy of "integration of medical care and prevention". Guided by the concepts of "Comprehensive Health", with the cornerstone of cultivating morality and talents, the reform focused on enhancing the post competency of preventive medicine talents. Course content was optimized by reinforcing prevention-focused elements, student-centered teaching method innovation was advocated, and simulation-based training teaching system was established. Moreover, projects integrating science and education were used to improve faculty teaching capacity with tiered and diversified approaches. Course assessment methods were revised and "ideological and political education" was incorporated to establish the education concept of "emphasis on prevention and integration of medical care and prevention". The survey showed that these reform measures effectively improved the comprehensive clinical literacy of preventive medicine students in obstetrics and gynecology, which is of great significance for building a "integration of medical care and prevention" public health talent training model. In the future, the long-term effectiveness of course reform will be ensured from the perspectives of teaching resources, personnel investment, and policy support.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To screen immune-related long non-coding RNAs(LncRNAs)in the TCGA database pancreatic cancer dataset and construct a prognostic risk assessment model with immune-related LncRNAs to explore prognosis-related potential molecular mechanisms.Methods RNA-seq data of 171 pancreatic cancer samples and corresponding clinical information were obtained by The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,and two classical immune-related gene datasets(GO0006955/IMMUNE RESPONSE and GO0002376/IMMUNE SYSTERM PROCESS)and gene annotation information were used to identify immune-related LncRNAs.The immune-related LncRNAs associated with pancreatic cancer prognosis were used for univariate and multivariate Cox analyses to establish a model for the assessment of pancreatic cancer prognostic risk based on immune-associated LncRNAs.This risk model was used for survival analysis,clinical correlation analysis,immune cell infiltration analysis,pathway enrichment analysis,and prognostic column line plot modeling.Results We screened 119 immune-related LncRNAs in pancreatic cancer,and five immune-related LncRNAs(AC064836.3,LINC00941,ZNF236-DT,TMEM161B-AS1 and AC068580.2)were identified for the development of pancreatic cancer prognostic risk assessment model.According to the prognostic risk assessment model,pancreatic cancer patients were divided into low-risk group(n=86)and high-risk group(n=85).Compared with the low-risk group,the high-risk group showed a significant negative enrichment trend for immune-related signaling pathways,the 5-year overall survival of pancreatic cancer patients was significantly increased in the low-risk group compared with the high-risk group.The expression of low-risk immune-related LncRNAs(AC064836.3,ZNF236-DT and TMEM161B-AS1)gradually decreased with increasing clinical stage of pancreatic cancer patients.Patient age(P=0.031,risk ratio and 95％CI:1.025/1.002-1.048)and prognostic risk score(P＜0.001,risk ratio and 95％ confidence interval 1.801/1.465-2.215)could be used as independent prognostic risk factors for overall survival in pancreatic cancer.In addition,the prognostic risk assessment model had better predictive efficiency(area under the curve=0.695)compared with the disease predictive ability of common clinical characteristics.Steroid biosynthesis,pentose phosphate pathway,intercellular linkage,cytoskeletal rearrangement and other pathways related to energy metabolism and invasive migration of pancreatic cancer cells were significantly activated in the high-risk group.Meanwhile,pancreatic cancer patients in the high-risk group had lower levels of naive B cells,plasma cells and neutrophils with anti-tumor activity,but their macrophage infiltration levels were significantly higher than those in the low-risk group.Conclusion The prognostic risk assessment model constructed based on five immune-related LncRNAs can effectively predict the survival status,clinical characteristics,molecular pathways,and immune cell infiltration differences of pancreatic cancer patients.Meanwhile,relying on this model,the prognosis of pancreatic cancer patients can be prospectively predicted,which enhances the usefulness of this risk prediction model.

Poly(lactic-co-glycolide)(PLGA)is a key excipient in long-acting sustained-release preparations,and its degradation properties directly affect the drug release behavior.In this study,PLGA microspheres were prepared by microfluidic techniques,and the morphology changes of the microspheres were observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).In alkaline environment,due to the accelerated hydrolysis of ester bonds,the surface of the microspheres was rapidly dissolved and eroded,and the degradation rate was significantly higher than that in acidic environment.High temperature accelerated the degradation of PLGA microspheres.Under neutral and alkaline conditions,the microspheres showed aggregation and adhesion.Under acidic conditions,the microspheres gradually decomposed into irregular fragments.The high ionic strength further promoted the surface corrosion of the microspheres,especially under extreme pH conditions.Simultaneously,PLGA microspheres encapsulating coumarin were prepared to simulate the microsphere formulation.The release rate of coumarin after degradation of the microspheres under different conditions was observed by measuring the absorbance with ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry.The results were consistent with those of the blank microspheres.This study revealed that the degradation of PLGA microspheres was significantly pH-dependent,temperature sensitive and ion strength responsive.These findings not only helped to understand and optimize the long-term stability and controlled release performance of drug-carrying microspheres,but also provided a theoretical basis for further improvement of PLGA-based drug carrier design.
