ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the mechanism by which Luoshi Neiyi prescription treats endometriosis （EMs） through regulating ferroptosis， and to screen key metabolites and analyze their association with ferroptosis. MethodsClinical samples of normal endometrium from patients without EMs and eutopic and ectopic endometrium from EMs patients （10 cases each） were collected and divided into control group， eutopic group， and EMs group. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed to observe ectopic lesions of EMs. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11） and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was adopted to determine the levels of malondialdehyde （MDA）， ferrous ion （Fe²⁺）， GPX4 and glutathione （GSH） in endometrial tissues， as well as serum levels of Fe²⁺， GPX4 and GSH. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expression of SLC7A11， GPX4， transferrin receptor （TFR） and ferritin heavy chain 1 （FTH1）. In the in vitro experiment， primary stromal cells were isolated from ectopic lesions of EMs patients. Cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） was used to determine the optimal concentration of drug-containing serum for intervention. The level of reactive oxygen species （ROS） was measured， and Real-time PCR was applied to detect ferroptosis-related indicators. In the animal experiments， an EM rat model was established， and the rats were randomly assigned to the sham operation group， EMs group， low-dose Luoshi Neiyi Formula group （7.87 g·kg^-1）， high-dose Luoshi Neiyi prescription group （15.74 g·kg^-1）， and danazol group （42 mg·kg^-1）. Untargeted metabolomics detection and pathway enrichment analysis were conducted on serum samples from patients and rats. Spearman correlation analysis was performed to assess the relationship between differential metabolites and ferroptosis indicators. The correlations between differential metabolites in patient endometrium and serum and key ferroptosis indicators （GPX4， Fe²⁺， MDA， GSH） as well as ferroptosis-related mRNAs （GPX4， SLC7A11， FTH1） were analyzed， and correlation heatmaps were generated accordingly. ResultsCompared with normal eutopic endometrium， ectopic lesions in EMs patients showed glandular disorganization and stromal fibrosis. In ectopic endometrium， the contents of MDA， ROS， and Fe²⁺ decreased， while GPX4 level increased， and the mRNA expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 was upregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In serum， the levels of GPX4 and Fe²⁺ were elevated， whereas the GSH level declined， suggesting abnormalities in ferroptosis-related pathways in ectopic lesions （P<0.05， P<0.01）. After intervention with Luoshi Neiyi prescription-containing serum， the intracellular ROS level in ectopic endometrial stromal cells was elevated， the mRNA expression of SLC7A11 and GPX4 was downregulated， and TFR mRNA expression was upregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Metabolomics analysis revealed 1104 and 198 differential metabolites in EMs patients and EMs rats， respectively， compared with their corresponding control groups， and both low-dose and high-dose Luoshi Neiyi prescription were found to regulate this metabolic disturbance， with the core regulatory pathways mainly involving arginine and proline metabolism. Correlation analysis showed that the glycerophospholipids including PI（16∶0/17∶0） and PI［18∶2（9Z，12Z）］ were negatively correlated with GPX4 and positively correlated with MDA， while 17α-hydroxyprogesterone was positively correlated with GPX4， SLC7A11， and FTH1 q<0.05）. ConclusionLuoshi Neiyi prescription may systematically ameliorate disease-associated metabolic dysregulation via modulation of the serum arginine and proline metabolism pathway， and may regulate ferroptosis in ectopic lesions through a mechanism potentially linked to the serum glycerophospholipid and steroid metabolism pathways. Collectively， these findings provide experimental evidence for the clinical application of Luoshi Neiyi prescription.

Objective:To investigate the effects of CO2 intracavitary laser combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation on surface electromyography(sEMG)values and pelvic floor three-dimensional ultrasound parameters in female patients with stress urinary incontinence(SUI).Methods:A prospective study was conducted on 92 female SUI patients treated at the outpatient department of Meizhou People's Hospital from October 2021 to July 2023.The patients were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group(n=46 each)using a random number table.Both groups received home-based pelvic floor muscle training.The control group additionally received pelvic floor magnetic stimulation,while the observation group was treated with CO2 intracavitary laser combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation.The urinary leakage status,treatment efficacy,pelvic floor muscle sEMG,pelvic floor three-dimensional ultrasound parameters,quality of life,and sexual quality of life were compared between the two groups.Assessments included the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire-Short Form(ICIQ-SF),the Incontinence Impact Questionnaire-Short Form(IIQ-7),and the Pelvic Organ Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire(PISQ-12).Results:1-hour leakage volume:0 g(observation group)vs.3 g(control group),24-hour leakage episodes:0 times(observation group)vs.0 times(control group),the observed differences were statistically significant(Z=-2.866,-2.355,P<0.05).Total effective rate:95.65%(observation)vs.58.70%(control),the observed differences were statistically significant(x2=4.083,P<0.05).Pelvic floor muscle sEMG(after treatment):Maximal fast contraction:(40.78±3.28)μV(observation)vs.(35.17±5.10)μV(control),Mean tonic contraction:(31.56±4.20)μV(observation)vs.(25.87±3.82)μV(control),Mean endurance contraction:(29.34±2.58)μV(observation)vs.(25.37±2.67)μV(control),all differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=2.736,19.919,3.025,15.426,P<0.05).After treatment,both groups showed reductions in bladder neck descent(BND)during Valsalva maneuver,bladder-symphysis distance(BSD),urethral rotation angle(URA),and posterior vesicourethral angle(RVA).However,the observation group demonstrated significantly greater reductions compared to the control group(post-treatment data:observation group(24.30±3.21)mm,(2.34±0.23)mm,(56.40±5.87)°,(89.54±9.21)°;control group(26.21±3.48)mm,(3.57±0.35)mm,(60.29±6.45)°,(126.71±13.50)°.These differences were statistically significant(t=2.736,19.919,3.025,15.426,P<0.05).Similarly,both groups exhibited decreased scores on the ICIQ-SF and IIQ-7 scales,along with increased scores on the PISQ-12.Again,the observation group showed superior improvement,with statistically significant differences(t=11.478,13.168,6.631,P<0.05).Conclusion:On the basis of pelvic floor muscle training,CO2 intracavitary laser therapy combined with pelvic floor magnetic stimulation can effectively alleviate urinary incontinence symptoms in patients with female stress urinary incontinence(FSUI),enhance therapeutic efficacy,improve pelvic floor muscle strength and the stability of pelvic support structures,and promote quality of life and sexual function.

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.
