Recurrent spontaneous abortion （RSA） is a common gynecological disease during pregnancy， clinically characterized by repeated spontaneous abortions， yet its pathological mechanism remains incompletely understood. Traditional Chinese medicine attributes the pathogenesis of RSA to the deficiency of Chong Ren and the lack of fetal solidity. It has amassed experience in treating RSA， with Shoutaiwan being widely utilized for addressing miscarriage symptoms such as habitual abortion due to kidney deficiency， bleeding during pregnancy， and fetal movement. In recent years， there has been a gradual increase in experimental studies on the application of Shoutaiwan in treating RSA and on related experiments. These studies have demonstrated that Shoutaiwan preserves the fetus mainly by modulating hormone balance， alleviating immune inflammation， and enhancing blood coagulation equilibrium during pregnancy. Besides， through the modulation of key signaling pathways such as nuclear factor， erythroid 2 like 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） and Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT）， as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， Shoutaiwan has improved cellular antioxidant capacity， adjusted the phenotype of trophoblast and metaphase cells， and inhibited immune rejection， thus improving the pregnancy success rate. These findings not only elucidate the diverse biological foundations underlying Shoutaiwan's efficacy in treating RSA but also offer a scientific rationale for its clinical application and further mechanism research. Nonetheless， there remains a dearth of systematic reviews on RSA treatment with Shoutaiwan. Therefore， this review summarizes and synthesizes existing research findings to systematically analyze existing literature and studies， delving deeply into the principal pharmacological effects and associated signaling pathways of Shoutaiwan in regulating RSA. It aims to establish crucial reference points for its clinical application in RSA treatment and future experiments and research.

Objective: To investigate the chemical compositions of Maxing Shigan Decoction (麻杏石甘汤, MXSGD) and elucidate its anti-influenza A virus (IAV) mechanism from prediction to validation. Methods: Ultra high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was employed to analyze the chemical compositions of MXSGD. Network pharmacology theories were used to screen and identify shared targets of both the potential targets of active ingredients of MXSGD and IAV. A protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was then constructed, followed by Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses. The binding stability between core bioactive compounds and key targets was validated by molecular docking and dynamic simulations. A total of 24 BALB/c mice were infected with IAV to build IAV mouse models. After successful modelling, the mouse models were randomly divided into model, MXSGD high-dose (2.8 g/kg), MXSGD low-dose (1.4 g/kg), and oseltamivir (20.14 mg/kg) groups, with an additional normal mice as control group (n = 6 per group). The treatments were administered by gavage daily between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. for five consecutive days. Upon completion of the administration, the body weight ratio, lung index, protein content in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the levels of inflammatory factors including interleukin (IL)-6 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in mice were measured to preliminarily analyze the therapeutic efficacy of MXSGD against IAV infection. Furthermore, the expression levels of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-1α, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins in the HIF-1 signaling pathway, which was enriched by network pharmacology, were detected by Western blot. Results: A total of 212 chemical components in MXSGD were identified by the UPLC-MS/MS method. These chemical components can be classified into 9 primary categories and 31 secondary categories. After intersecting the chemical component targets with IAV-related targets, a total of 567 potential MXSGD components targeting IAV were identified. The construction of PPI network and the results of both GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed that the anti-IAV effects of MXSGD were associated with multiple pathways, including apoptosis, TNF, HIF-1, and IL-17 signaling pathways. The results of molecular docking demonstrated that the binding energies between the core compound 1-methoxyphaseollin and key targets including HIF-1α, mTOR, and VEGF were all lower than – 5.0 kcal/mol. Furthermore, molecular dynamics simulations confirmed the structural stability of the resulting complexes. Animal experiments showed that compared with the normal controls, IAV-infected mice showed significantly reduced body weight ratio, markedly increased lung index, protein content in BALF, and the levels of inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0.01), thereby causing damage to the lung tissue; consequently, the expression levels of mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF proteins in the lung tissues of these mice were significantly elevated (P < 0.01). However, after MXSGD treatment, the mouse models presented a significant increase in body weight ratio, as well as marked decreases in lung index, protein content in BALF, and the levels of inflammatory factors including IL-6 and TNF-α (P < 0.01). Furthermore, the therapy alleviated IAV-induced injuries and significantly downregulated the expression levels of mTOR, HIF-1α, and VEGF proteins in lung tissues (P < 0.01 or P < 0.05). Conclusion MXSGD exerts anti-IAV effects through multi-component, multi-target, and multi-pathway synergism. Among them, 1-methoxyphaseollin is identified as a potential key component, which alleviates virus-induced lung injury and inflammatory response via the regulation of HIF-1 signaling pathway, providing experimental evidence for the clinical application of MXSGD.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of standard pulsed radiofrequency for treating rare-site glomus tumors.Methods A prospective self before-and-after control study was conducted and 6 pa-tients diagnosed as glomus tumors in the pain department of Yongkang Municipal First People's Hospital from June 2022 to January 2023 served as the study subjects.Among them,1 case was located in the outer beam of deltoid muscle in the upper arm,and 5 cases were located under the nail beds of the hands/feet.All subjects underwent the standard pulsed radiofrequency treatment under ultrasound guidance and were fol-lowed up for at least 12 months.The changes in the preoperative and postoperative Numerical Rating Scale(NRS)scores were observed,and the changes in the"typical triad",healing degree of the nail growth matrix and recurrence of pain were recorded.Results The postoperative follow-up results showed that all patients had significant decreases in NRS scores,indicating that the pain degree obtained the effective control.Among them,4 patients did not experience the pain recurrence after adopting the standard pulsed radiofrequency;1 pa-tient had pain recurrence in postoperative 6 months and the tumor body was ultimately removed by surgery.Apart from the patient 2 developing transient subungual congestion,no significant adverse events were observed.Conclusion The standard pulsed radiofrequency treatment is a safe and effective therapeutic method for pain caused by rare-site glomus tumors.

Objective:To study the correlation between hair fluorine level and hypertension of permanent residents in high altitude areas of Tibet Autonomous Region (Tibet).Methods:A random cluster sampling method was used to select 5 villages in the high altitude areas of Tibet from June to August 2021 and June to August 2022, respectively, and questionnaire survey, physical examination, and biochemical indicator testing were conducted on permanent Tibetan residents in the above mentioned villages. At the same time, hair samples were collected, the hair fluorine level was determined by ion selective electrode method, and the correlation between various indicators and hair fluorine level and hypertension was analyzed.Results:A total of 227 individuals were included, with hair fluorine level of (15.06 ± 0.16) mg/kg. Correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the study subjects' systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body mass index, pulse, neck circumference, chest circumference, uric acid level and hair fluorine level ( P > 0.05). Abdominal circumference, hip circumference, and hemoglobin level were positively correlated with hair fluorine level ( r = 0.23, 0.14, 0.29, P < 0.05), while blood glucose level and finger pulse oxygen were negatively correlated with hair fluorine level ( r = - 0.23, - 0.24, P < 0.001). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR = 1.04, 95% CI: 1.01 - 1.06), chest circumference ( OR = 1.10, 95% CI: 1.01 - 1.20), and hair fluorine level ( OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.02 - 1.46) had an impact on hypertension ( P < 0.05). Conclusion:There is a certain correlation between hair fluoride level and hypertension in the population of high altitude areas in Tibet.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of Tongluo Baoshen prescription （TLBS）-containing serum on the rat podocyte injury induced by lipopolysaccharide （LPS） and explore the potential mechanisms. MethodsSD rats were used to prepare the blank serum， losartan potassium-containing serum， and low-， medium-， and high-dose TLBS-containing sera. Rat podocytes were cultured in vitro， and the effects of drug-containing sera on podocyte viability were detected by the cell counting kit-8 （CKK-8） method. The optimal intervention volume fraction of drug-containing sera and the optimal concentration of LPS for inducing the podocyte injury were determined. Rat podocytes were grouped as follows： normal control （NC， 10% blank serum）， model control （MC， 20.00 mg·L^-1 LPS+10% black serum）， losartan potassium （LP， 20.00 mg·L^-1 LPS+10% losartan potassium-containing serum）， low-dose TLBS （TLBS-L， 20.00 mg·L^-1 LPS+10% low-dose TLBS-containing serum）， medium-dose TLBS （TLBS-M， 20.00 mg·L^-1 LPS+10% medium-dose TLBS-containing serum）， and high-dose TLBS （TLBS-H， 20.00 mg·L^-1 LPS+10% high-dose TLBS-containing serum）， and the interventions lasted for 48 h. The ultrastructure of podocytes was observed under a transmission electron microscope. The podocyte apoptosis was detected by the terminal deoxynucleoitidyl transferase mediated nick-end labeling （TUNEL） kit. Immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of gasdermin D N-terminal fragment （GSDMD-NT） in podocytes. The mRNA and protein levels of G protein-coupled receptor family C group 5 member B （GPRC5B）， nuclear factor-κB （NF-κB） p50， NF-κB p52， NF-κB p65， Rel B， c-Rel， NOD-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3）， cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1 （Caspase-1）， GSDMD-NT， interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-18， nephrin， integrin α₃， and integrin β₁ in podocytes were determined by real-time quaritiative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot， respectively. ResultsCompared with the NC group， the MC group showed reduced podocyte protrusions and organelles， segmental missing of cell membranes， increased and swollen mitochondria， irregular nuclear membranes， light chromatin， increased TUNEL fluorescence-positive nuclei （P<0.01）， obviously enhanced fluorescence intensity of GSDMD-NT， up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of GPRC5B， NF-κB p50， NF-κB p52， NF-κB p65， Rel B， c-Rel， NLRP3， caspase-1， GSDMD-NT， IL-1β， and IL-18 （P<0.01）， and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of nephrin， integrin α₃， and integrin β₁ （P<0.01） in podocytes. Compared with the MC group， the LP， TLBS-M， and TLBS-H groups showed improved ultrastructure of podocytes with increased protrusions， intact cell membranes， reduced organelles， and alleviated mitochondrial swelling， decreased TUNEL fluorescence-positive nuclei （P<0.01）， weakened fluorescence intensity of GSDMD-NT， down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of GPRC5B， NF-κB p50， NF-κB p52， NF-κB p65， Rel B， c-Rel， NLRP3， caspase-1， GSDMD-NT， IL-1β， and IL-18 （P<0.01）， and up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of nephrin， integrin α₃， and integrin β₁ （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Moreover， the changes above were the most obvious in the TLBS-H group. ConclusionThe TLBS-containing serum can regulate the GPRC5B/NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway to inhibit pyroptosis， thereby ameliorating the podocyte injury induced by LPS.

Objective To investigate the impact of phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation on the rehabilitation needs and physical activity status of patients after coronary heart disease intervention.Methods A total of 90 patients with coronary heart disease who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)in the Coronary Heart Disease Center of the hospital from August 2023 to August 2024 were selected as the research subjects.They were subjected to a 12-week standardized phase Ⅱ cardiac rehabilitation training.General data survey forms,cardiac rehabilitation scales,and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were used for scale surveys to understand the patients' needs before and after rehabilitation and their weekly physical activity en-ergy expenditure.The cardiopulmonary exercise test gold standard,which reflects exercise capacity through three indicators-maximum oxygen uptake(VO2 max),anaerobic threshold(AT),and metabolic equivalents(MET),were used to compare the physical activity status before and after cardiac rehabilitation.Results Compared with before the implementation,after the implementation of cardiac rehabilitation,the autonomy score in-creased(21.36±1.85 vs.16.73±3.28),the process anxiety(12.60±3.87 vs.14.27±2.12)and outcome anxiety scores(2.31±1.76 vs.4.56±3.56)decreased,the level of low-intensity physical activity decreased[(2 711.62±1 487.09)min/week vs.(3 845.97±2 083.71)min/week],the levels of moderate-intensity[(1 314.67±783.54)min/week vs.(686.22±126.79)min/week],high-intensity[(1 861.33±798.27)min/week vs.(112.00±40.77)min/week],and total physical activity increased[(5 887.62±2 843.54)min/week vs.(4 644.19±2 287.16)min/week].The levels of VO2 max[(28.11±14.28)mL·min-1·kg-1 vs.(23.82±12.34)mL·min-1·kg-1],AT[(16.06±5.41)mL·min-1·kg-1 vs.(13.53±4.56)mL·min-1·kg-1],and MET[(6.89±1.59)mL·min-1·kg-1 vs.(5.78±1.21)mL·min-1·kg-1]all in-creased,with statistically significant differences(P＜0.05).Conclusion Phase Ⅱ rehabilitation after PCI can effectively improve patients' physical activity levels.

Objective:To explore the effects of a tiered-categorized-integrated training model in standardized neurology residency training.Methods:This controlled before-and-after study enrolled 109 residents who rotated in the Department of Neurology of Renji Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2023 to June 2024. Among them, 43 residents from January to July 2023 were assigned to control group to receive the traditional training model, while 66 residents from August 2023 to June 2024 were assigned to observation group to follow the competency-oriented tiered-categorized-integrated training protocol. In the observation group, the residents were categorized into neurology specialty and non-neurology specialty groups to follow a competency-based hierarchical and progressive training approach with systematical optimization and resource integration in terms of faculty allocation, training activities, and assessment evaluations. The effectiveness of the models was evaluated through semi-annual assessments (for neurology specialty), routine assessments and end-of-rotation assessments (for non-neurology specialty), and 360-degree evaluations. SPSS 26.0 was used to perform chi-square tests and t-tests. Results:The non-neurology specialty residents in the observation group significantly outperformed the control group in the total score of end-of-rotation assessments [(90.93±4.21) vs. (86.08±8.98), P=0.004], theoretical examinations [(16.47±2.47) vs. (13.55±5.34), P=0.003], clinical skills [(9.32±0.47) vs. (9.00±0.58), P=0.004], and case analysis [(86.75±5.95) vs. (82.64±11.20), P=0.047]. The neurology specialty residents in the observation group showed a significantly higher physical examination score than the control group [(87.50±8.66) vs. (75.00±8.17), P=0.040]. Furthermore, in the 360-degree evaluation, the observation group exhibited better performance in certain assessment indicators of core competencies, including professional ability, patient management, professionalism, and communication and cooperation ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The tiered-categorized-integrated training model helps residents to better grasp basic knowledge and skills in rotations, and also enhances their core competencies such as professional ability, patient management, and communication and cooperation. This model provides a replicable practical solution for clinical departments to achieve efficient and precise rotation management within the constraints of limited resources.
