ObjectiveTo systematically compare the differential regulation of the maternal-fetal interface cell lineages and communication networks in the CBA/J×DBA/2 mouse model of recurrent pregnancy loss （RPL） by the two classic therapeutic methods-tonifying the kidney to stabilize the fetus and invigorating the spleen to stabilize the fetus （Shoutai Wan， Juyuan Jian）-of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） at the single-cell resolution and clarify their modern scientific connotations. MethodsFemale non-pregnant CBA/J mice were caged with male BALB/c （blank group） and DBA/2 （modeling group） mice separately. Pregnant mice in the modeling group were randomly grouped as follows： high/low-dose Shoutai Wan， high/low-dose Juyuan Jian， model （RPL）， and positive control （dydrogesterone）， with 10 mice in each group. Starting from the day after the detection of the vaginal plug， mice were administrated with drugs or an equal volume of normal saline by gavage for 10 consecutive days. After the intervention， the following indicators were measured. ① Macroscopic evaluation： general conditions， uterine wet weight， embryo loss rate， four coagulation parameters ［prothrombin time （PT）， activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）， fibrinogen （FIB）， and thrombin time （TT）］， and peripheral blood estradiol （E₂） and progesterone （Pg） levels. The decidua with embryos was stained with hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and evaluated by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The expression of B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， vascular endothelial growth factor （VEGF）， angiotensin Ⅱ （AngⅡ）， matrix metalloproteinase-2 （MMP-2）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， leukemia inhibitory factor （LIF）， CXC chemokine ligand 12 （CXCL12）， and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 homolog （LC3）Ⅰ/Ⅱ was quantified by Western blot. ② Mechanism analysis at the single-cell level： The decidua with embryos from the blank， model， high-dose Shoutai Wan， and high-dose Juyuan Jian groups （6 mice per group， with 3 single-cell samples per group， totaling 24 mice） were analyzed by the BD Rhapsody™ platform， and the whole-cell atlas was drawn by uniform manifold approximation and projection （UMAP） dimensionality reduction clustering combined with the single-cell mouse cell atlas （scMCA）. The differentially expressed genes （DEGs） and cell interaction networks were analyzed via Gene Ontology （GO）， Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG）， and CellChat， and the protein-protein interaction （PPI） map of subtype cells was constructed. The CytoTRACE pseudo-temporal analysis was performed to explore the developmental trajectories of core immune cells （natural killer cells， NK cells） from maternal and fetal sources. Results① Pathological and Western blot results indicated that compared with the blank group， the RPL group showed an increase in the embryo loss rate （P<0.01）， down-regulated expression of Bcl-2， LIF， MMP-2， and Vegf in the decidua with embryos （P<0.05）， up-regulated protein levels of CXCL-12， AngⅡ， and IL-6 （P<0.05）， blocked angiogenesis， apoptosis-inflammation imbalance， and coagulation dysfunction. Both prescriptions dose-dependently reduced the abortion rate and restored the angiogenesis-inflammation balance， and Shoutai pill showed superior performance in restoring the E₂ level to the Pg level （P<0.05）. ② Single-cell transcriptome analysis indicated that compared with the blank group， the RPL group showed differences in multiple key cell populations such as decidual cells， trophoblast cells， endothelial cells， erythroblasts， NK cells， and macrophages at the maternal-fetal interface. Immunity and angiogenesis were the key links in RPL. Compared with the RPL group， high-dose Shoutai Wan reversed the changes of NK cells in the embryonic layer （upregulating the mRNA levels of 17 genes and downregulating the mRNA levels of 29 genes） and macrophages （upregulating the mRNA levels of 117 genes and downregulating the mRNA levels of 53 genes） through the regulation of gene expression. High-dose Shoutai pill regulated the immune cells to affect unfolded proteins， cell adhesion， and programmed cell death， thereby promoting decidualization and angiogenesis and modulating embryo-membrane development. High-dose Juyuan Jian regulated the key subgroups of NK cells （up-regulating the mRNA levels of 9 genes and down-regulating the mRNA levels of 17 genes） and macrophages （up-regulating the mRNA levels of 110 genes and down-regulating the mRNA levels of 81 genes）， which affected decidual inflammation and apoptosis and intervened in glycolysis. ③ The pseudo-temporal analysis and communication network indicated that the communication frequency of the RPL group decreased. High-dose Shoutai Wan restored maternal-fetal tolerance through pathways such as NKG2D， CDH5， GDF， and FASLG. High-dose Juyuan Jian enhanced the IL-6/LIFR/JAK/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3） and desmosome/SEMA6/tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis （TWEAK） signaling to improve endometrial receptivity. The RPL group showed an increased proportion of toxic dNK7， a decreased proportion of reparative dNK4， and blocked embryo fNK1. High-dose Shoutai Wan down-regulated dNK7 and up-regulated dNK4. High-dose Juyuan Jian inhibited the terminal differentiation of dNK7 and up-regulated LILRB1， thus restoring the balance of cytotoxicity and repair. ConclusionBoth the kidney-tonifying and spleen-invigorating methods are effective in treating RPL. NK and macrophages are the key immune cells in the interaction between the embryo and the membrane. The kidney-tonifying method （Shoutai Wan） has an advantage in regulating the phenotypes of unfolded protein， cell adhesion， and programmed cell death， and shows expression characteristics closer to the physiological state in the regulation of NKG2D and CDH5 signals. The spleen-invigorating method （Juyuan Jian） has an advantage in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition （EMT）， angiogenesis， and glycolysis and shows higher communication intensity in the IL-6 and LIFR pathways.

Breast cancer has become the malignant tumor with the highest incidence rate among women， seriously threatening the life and health of women all over the world. The pathogenic factors and development mechanisms of breast cancer are complex and diverse. The development of breast cells from ordinary hyperplasia to atypical hyperplasia， and from pre-cancerous lesions to cancerous lesions， is a long-term progressive process. Therefore， early screening and prevention of breast cancer is particularly important. Western medicine has a relatively mature treatment program for breast cancer， which is mainly based on surgery and systemic treatment， whereas the ensuing complications and adverse reactions often bring a heavy burden to patients. For the precancerous lesions of breast cancer， surgery is also the mainstay of treatment. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has increasingly highlighted its advantages in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer. Increasing studies have shown that in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and pre-cancerous lesions， TCM compound prescriptions， single herbs or herb pairs， and active components are able to regulate a variety of intracellular signaling pathways through multi-targets to inhibit the proliferation and invasion， promote the apoptosis and autophagy of tumor cells， and regulate the cell cycle and the immune microenvironment， thus exerting anti-tumor effects. At the same time， they can significantly attenuate the toxic side effects of radiotherapy and drug resistance of patients. However， the specific mechanisms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and precancerous lesions have not been fully clarified. The available studies are tanglesome regarding the TCM inhibition of tumor development through the regulation of classical signaling pathways such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase （PI3K）/protein kinase B （Akt）/mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， Wnt/β-catenin， and Notch， which still need to be verified by a large number of clinical and experimental studies. Therefore， this paper reviews the research progress in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and precancerous lesions by TCM through interfering with the relevant signaling pathways in recent years， aiming to summarize the possible mechanisms of TCM in the prevention and treatment of breast cancer and provide references for subsequent studies.

Objective To assess the risk of hearing loss caused by occupational noise exposure in workers in an automobile manufacturing plant in Tianjin, China, and to perform risk management. Methods Occupational health field investigation and noise exposure measurements were conducted from July to December 2023, and physical examination data were collected. ISO 1999:2013(E) Acoustics-Estimation of Noise-Induced Hearing Loss and WS/T 754-2016 ^“Guidelines for Risk Management of Occupational Disease Hazards Caused by Noise^” were used to predict the risk of high-frequency hearing loss and occupational noise induced deafness for operational workers and make a risk classification. Results The noise intensity of each workshop was 79.4 to 95.5 dB(A), and the maximum noise intensity of welding and stamping exceeded the standard. The results of the assessment showed that the noise level remained unchanged, and the risk of HFHL and ONID in workers increased as the predicted age and length of service increased. It was predicted that after the age of 40, the maximum risk of hearing loss in welding workers would be high risk, and the risk of stamping workers would be at higher risk, suggesting that welding and stamping were the key control posts of noise hazards in the enterprise. The N50 prediction values of permanent hearing threshold displacement caused by potential noise at all frequencies for final assembly and painting workers were lower than the measured values. Conclusion The consequences of hearing loss for workers in the welding and stamping shop noise operations at this automobile manufacturing plant are relatively serious and require risk management.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula on cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease mice.Methods Transgenic negative mice were designated as the normal group,while APP/PS1 double transgenic mice were randomly divided into six groups(ni=6 per group):model group,low-dose Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula group,medium-dose group,high-dose group,and positive drug group.The Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula low-,medium-,high-dose groups correspondingly received intragastric administration of 0.75,1.5,and 3 g·kg-1·d-1,respectively.The positive drug group received 2 mg·kg-1·d-1 donepezil hydrochloride tablets,while the model and normal groups received equal volumes of saline.All groups were treated once daily for 8 weeks.Behavioral tests were conducted using the Morris water maze and Y-maze.Hippocampal β-amyloid(Aβ)1-42 level was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Hippocampal CA1 and CA3 neurons were observed hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,and Nissl bodies were examined Nissl staining.Protein expression levels of Aβ transporter low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1(LRP-1)and endoplasmic reticulum stress marker glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP78)were detected by Western Blot analysis.Results(1)Compared with the normal group,the model group showed significantly prolonged escape latency(P＜0.000 1),reduced platform crossings,decreased movement distance and time around the platform of Morris water maze test(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),significantly lower spontaneous alternation percentage in Y-maze test(P＜0.05),and significantly elevated hippocampal Aβ1-42 level(P＜0.000 1).Compared with the model group,all Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula dose groups and the positive drug group exhibited significantly shortened escape latency of Morris water maze test(P＜0.000 1).The high-dose Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula group and positive drug group showed significantly increased platform crossings,movement distance and time around the platform of Morris water maze test(P＜0.05),significantly higher spontaneous alternation percentage in Y-maze test(P＜0.05).All Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula dose groups and the positive drug group showed significantly reduced hippocampal Aβ1-42 level(P＜0.000 1).(2)Compared with the normal group,the model group exhibited disordered and deformed hippocampal neurons and Nissl bodies.Compared with the model group,all Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula groups and positive drug group showed improved neuronal and Nissl body organization,with the improvement degree positively correlated with dosage.(3)Compared with the normal group,the model group showed decreased LRP1 level and increased GRP78 level,but there were no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05).Compared with the model group,the high-dose Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula group and positive drug group showed increased LRP1 level,while all Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula dose groups and positive drug group exhibited decreased GRP78 level,but there were no statistically significant differences(P＞0.05).Conclusion Yuyin Qianyang Tongluo Formula significantly improves cognitive and memory function in model mice in a dose-dependent manner,potentially through reducing Aβ aggregation in the brain via endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway.

The incidence of malignant tumors among elderly patients is increasing.Influenced by multiple factors such as aging,tumor,and drug,this population exhibits a high prevalence of renal insufficiency.However,there remains a scarcity of research data and significant challenges in clinical management.This article systematically an-alyzes the challenges faced in administering anti-tumor therapies to elderly patients with renal insufficiency and pro-poses management strategies.Optimization approaches include precise assessment of renal function,selection of nephrotoxicity-sparing medications,appropriate dose adjustments,implementation of preventive measures,and em-phasis on comprehensive geriatric assessment and multidisciplinary collaboration.Renal injury management should be individualized,with considerations for special populations such as renal transplant recipients and dialysis pa-tients.Future efforts should focus on biomarker discovery and the development of low-nephrotoxicity therapeutic agents to address these complex clinical challenges.

Temporal lobe epilepsy(TLE)is the most common form of focal epilepsy in adults,characterized by spontaneous recurrent seizures,with most patients experiencing drug resistance and cognitive dysfunction.MicroRNAs(miRNAs)play a critical role in the pathological process of TLE through their regulation of post-transcriptional gene expression.The pathogenesis of TLE has not been fully elucidated,lacking effective clinical therapeutic targets and prognostic markers.This review sum-marized the expression changes of miRNAs in TLE and their research progress as potential biomarkers,aiming to provide new insights into the early diagnosis,prognosis evaluation,and pathogenic mecha-nisms of TLE.

Objective:To construct and validate a model of acute kidney injury ( AKI ) in sepsis patients based on albumin-corrected anion gap ( ACAG ).Methods:The clinical data of patients with sepsis admitted to our hospital from September 2020 to January 2025 were retrospectively analyzed. They were divided into training set and validation set according to the ratio of 7 : 3. The patients in the training set were divided into AKI group and non-AKI group according to whether AKI occurred during hospitalization. The basic information, disease treatment data and laboratory data of the patients were collected, and ACAG was calculated. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of AKI, and R language was used to construct a nomogram model to predict the risk of AKI. The receiver operating characteristic ( ROC ) curve was drawn to measure the distinguishing ability of the model, and the calibration curve was drawn to test the consistency between the predicted results of the model and the actual situation. Decision curve analysis ( DCA ) was used to judge the practicability of the model in clinical practice.Results:382 patients with sepsis were included and divided into training set ( n = 267 ) and validation set ( n = 115 ) according to the ratio of 7 : 3. Among the 382 patients, 124 cases of AKI occurred during hospitalization, accounting for 32.46%( 124 / 382 ). Among them, 85 cases of AKI occurred in the training set, accounting for 31.84%( 85 / 267 ), and 39 cases of AKI occurred in the validation set, accounting for 33.91%( 39 / 115 ). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=2.815, 95% CI:1.316~6.022), white blood cell count ( WBC ) ( OR = 1.926, 95% CI : 1.330-2.790 ), lactic acid ( Lac ) ( OR = 2.189,95%CI : 1.300 ~ 3.687 ), serum creatinine ( Scr ) ( OR = 3.156,95% CI : 1.702 -5.852 ), blood urea nitrogen ( BUN ) ( OR = 2.951,95% CI : 1.652-5.271 ), uric acid ( OR = 3.122,95% CI: 1.588-6.139 ), C-reactive protein ( CRP ) ( OR = 2.847,95% CI: 1.384-5.856 ), ACAG ( OR = 2.953,95% CI: 1.669-5.224 ) were risk factors for AKI in sepsis patients with intensive training ( P < 0.05 ). According to the results of multivariate logistic regression analysis, a nomogram model was established. ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve ( AUC ) of the nomogram model for predicting postoperative AKI in patients with sepsis in the training set and the validation set were 0.95 ( 95% CI: 0.90-0.98 ) and 0.92 ( 95% CI: 0.89-0.97 ), respectively. The statistical values after Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test were 0.295 and 0.264 ( P = 0.563 and 0.488 ), respectively. The calibration curve and DCA results showed. The calibration and clinical practicability of the nomogram prediction model are good. Conclusions:Age, WBC, Lac, Scr, BUN, uric acid, CRP and ACAG are all associated with AKI in patients with sepsis. Based on these risk factors, a nomogram model was constructed to predict the risk of AKI in patients with sepsis. The model has good discrimination ability, calibration ability and clinical practical value.

Objective : To establish an interleukin-1β (Il-1β) induced inflammatory model of rat articular chondro- cytes (ACs) , and to investigate the relationship between the expression of lysine acetyltransferase 7 (KAT7) under inflammatory stimulation and the senescence of ACs. Methods: Primary ACs were obtained by digestion of rat knee cartilage with collagenase type Ⅱ and identified. The inflammatory model of ACs was induced by IL-1β . KAT7 was over-expressed or knocked down in ACs by adeno-associated virus infection or small interfering RNA transfection , respectively. A negative control group was set up. Transwell assay was used to detect cell migration ability. Senes- cent cells were stained with senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) . Western blot ( WB) was used to detect the protein expression levels of KAT7 , collagen type II (Col Ⅱ ) , matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) , tumor protein p53 (p53) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1A (p21) . The cells of negative control group and KAT7 over-expression group were performed for RNA sequencing , and WB was used to verify the related signaling pathways obtained by Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis. Results: Compared with the control group , the SA-β-Gal staining was enhanced , the protein expression of Col Ⅱ decreased , the pro- tein expression of MMP13 and p53 increased , the cell migration ability decreased , and the expression of KAT7 also increased in the ACs of rats after IL-1β stimulation. Compared with the negative control group , the SA-β-Gal stai- ning was enhanced , the protein expression of Col Ⅱ decreased , the protein expression of MMP13 , p53 and p21 in- creased , and the cell migration ability decreased in the KAT7 over-expression group. Compared with the negative control group , the SA-β-Gal staining was weakened , the protein expression of Col Ⅱ increased , the protein expres- sion of MMP13 , p53 and p21 decreased , and the cell migration ability was enhanced in the KAT7 knockdown inflammatory model of ACs. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway was activated. Compared with the negative control group , the relative protein ex⁃pression levels of phosphorylated protein kinase B (p⁃AKT)/AKT and phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamy⁃cin (p⁃mTOR)/mTOR in KAT7 over⁃expression group increased. The relative protein expression levels of p ⁃AKT/AKT and p ⁃mTOR/mTOR in KAT7 knockdown cells decreased. Conclusion Rat ACs with high expression of KAT7 exhibit senescence and osteoarthritis phenotype , and the mechanism may be related to the activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway by KAT7.

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the dynamic changes in general body parameters, blood glucose, and blood lipid profiles in obese cynomolgus monkeys, exploring the correlations among these parameters and providing a reference for research on the obese cynomolgus monkey model. Methods30 normal male cynomolgus monkeys aged 5 - 17 years old (with body mass index < 35 kg/m² and glycated hemoglobin content < 4.50%) and 99 spontaneously obese male cynomolgus monkeys (with body mass index ≥35 kg/m² and glycated hemoglobin content < 4.50%) were selected. Over a period of three years, their abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, and four blood lipid indicators were monitored. The correlations between each indicator were analyzed using repeated measurement ANOVA, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression correlation analysis method. Results Compared to the control group, the obese group exhibited significantly higher levels of abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, body mass index, and triglyceride (P＜0.05). In the control group, skinfold thickness increased annually, while other indicators remained stable. Compared with the first year, the obese group showed significantly increased abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, body mass index, triglyceride, and fasting blood glucose in the second year(P＜0.05), with this increasing trend persisting in the third year (P＜0.05). In the control group, the obesity incidence rates in the second and third years were 16.67% and 23.33%, respectively, while the prevalence of diabetes remained at 16.67%. In the obese group, the diabetes incidence rates were 29.29% and 44.44% in years 2 and 3, respectively. Among the 11-13 year age group, the incidence rates were 36.36% and 44.68%, while for the group older than 13 years, the rates were 28.13% and 51.35%. Correlation analysis revealed significant associations (P＜0.05) between fasting blood glucose and age, abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, body weight, and triglyceride in the diabetic monkeys. Conclusion Long-term obesity can lead to the increases in general physical indicators and fasting blood glucose levels in cynomolgus monkeys, and an increase in the incidence of diabetes. In diabetic cynomolgus monkeys caused by obesity, there is a high correlation between their fasting blood glucose and age, weight, abdominal circumference, skinfold thickness, and triglyceride levels, which is of some significance for predicting the occurrence of spontaneous diabetes.
