Zhishi Shaoyaosan is the 34th prescription in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas (Second Batch) published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2023. It is widely used in clinical practice and has a definite curative effect. However, there is currently a lack of its ancient literature analysis and textual research, and there is no corresponding Chinese patent medicine preparation. By consulting and combing the relevant ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine, this paper analyzes and conducts textual research of the origin, composition, measurement, administration, and efficacy of Zhishi Shaoyaosan. The results show that Zhishi Shaoyaosan is derived from Essentials from the Golden Cabinet written by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is mainly recorded in the name of Zhishi Shaoyaosan in the literature of the past dynasties. The prescription is composed of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and Paeoniae Radix Alba. The processing method is stir-frying Aurantii Fructus Immaturus to scorch and using raw Paeoniae Radix Alba. The dose of the prescription recorded in the ancient books is mainly an equal amount of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and Paeoniae Radix Alba in one square-cun spoon, taken three times a day, which is converted into a modern dose of 1.5 g each time (0.75 g Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and 0.75 g Paeoniae Radix Alba each time). The components of the prescription are ground into powder and taken with barley porridge, three times a day. The efficacy is to break stagnated Qi, harmonize blood, and relieve restlessness and pain. It is mainly used to treat postpartum abdominal pain, acute pelvic inflammatory disease, acute cholecystitis and intestinal diseases, stroke sequelae, and other diseases. This study combs and analyzes the ancient literature recording Zhishi Shaoyaosan and clarifies the key information of the prescription, which provides a basis for promoting the research and development of its patent medicine.

ObjectiveTo explore the quantity-quality transfer process of medicinal materials, decoction pieces and standard decoction of Haliotidis Concha(Haliotis discus hannai) by analyzing the physical phase and compositional changes, so as to provide references for the effective control of its quality. MethodsA total of 20 batches of Haliotidis Concha(H. discus hannai) from different habitats were collected and prepared into corresponding calcined products and standard decoction, and the content of CaCO3 of the three samples were determined and the extract yield and transfer rate of CaCO3 were calculated. The changes in elemental composition and their relative contents were investigated by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry(XRF), X-ray diffraction(XRD) was used to study the changes in the phase compositions of the three samples and to establish their respective XRD specific chromatogram. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry(FTIR) was used to study the changes in the chemical composition and content changes of the three samples and to establish their respective FTIR specific chromatogram, while combining hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA), principal component analysis(PCA) and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) to find the common and differential characteristics, in order to explore the quantity-quality transfer relationship in the preparation process of standard decoction of Haliotidis Concha(H. discus hannai). ResultsThe CaCO3 contents of the 20 batches of medicinal materials, decoction pieces and standard decoction of Haliotidis Concha(H. discus hannai) were 93.87%-98.95%, 96.02%-99.97% and 38.29%-51.96%, respectively, and the extract yield of standard decoction was 1.71%-2.37%, and the CaCO3 transfer rate of decoction pieces-standard decoction was 0.68%-1.27%. XRF results showed that the elemental species and their relative contents contained in Haliotidis Concha and its calcined products had a high degree of similarity, and although there was no obvious difference in the elemental species contained in decoction pieces and standard decoction, the difference in the relative contents was obvious, which was mainly reflected in the decrease of the relative content of element Ca and the increase of the relative content of element Na. XRD results showed that Haliotidis Concha mainly contained CaCO3 of aragonite and calcite, while calcined Haliotidis Concha only contained CaCO3 of calcite, and standard decoction mainly contained CaCO3 of calcite and Na2CO3 of natrite. FTIR results showed that there were internal vibrations of O-H, C-H, C=O, HCO3- and CO32- groups in Haliotidis Concha, while O-H, HCO3- and CO32- groups existed in the calcined products and standard decoction. ConclusionThe changes of Haliotidis Concha and calcined Haliotidis Concha are mainly the increase of CaCO3 content, the transformation of CaCO3 aragonite crystal form to calcite crystal form and the absence of organic components after calcination, and the changes of calcined products and standard decoction are mainly the decrease of CaCO3 content and the increase of Na2CO3 relative content. The method established in the study is applicable to the quality control of the shellfish medicines-decoction pieces- standard decoction, which provides a new idea for the study of quality control of dispensing granules of shellfish medicines.

4.Association of physical activity and sedentary behavior with cardiorespiratory fitness among middle school students in Lhasa
Chinese Journal of School Health 2025;46(9):1318-1322
Objective:
To explore the relationship of physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) with cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) among middle schoold students in Tibet, so as to provide empirical references for improving the cardiorespiratory fitness and health levels of adolescents in Tibet.
Methods:
From August to December 2020, 1 225 junior and senior high school students were selected from 2 middle schools in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, using the stratified cluster random sampling method. Triaxial accelerometers were used to evaluate PA and SB behaviors, and the 20 meter shuttle run was employed to assess CRF among the middle school students. Isochronous substitution modeling was used to analyze the associations of SB, low intensity physical activity (LPA), and moderate vigorous physical activity (MVPA) with CRF, and the saturation threshold effect in the dose response relationship between MVPA and CRF was analyzed through restricted cubic spline and two stage linear regression.
Results:
After adjusting for covariates such as gender, body mass index and sleep quality score, isotemporal substitution analysis showed that among junior high school students aged 13-15, replacing 30 minutes of SB ( B =1.73) or LPA ( B =2.38) with MVPA were positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Among senior high school students aged 16-18, replacing SB ( B =0.99) or LPA ( B =1.38) with MVPA were also positively associated with CRF (both P <0.05). Restricted cubic spline and two piecewise linear regression analyses indicated that only middle school girls aged 13-18 exhibited a saturation threshold effect between MVPA and CRF (logarithmic likelihood ratio test=0.03), with the optimal CRF improvement observed at 60 minutes of MVPA per day ( B=0.13, P < 0.01).
Conclusions
Reducing SB and LPA while increasing MVPA can improve CRF in Tibetan middle school students. To maximize CRF improvement, middle school girls should engage in at least 60 minutes of MVPA daily.

Objective:To identify the development trajectories of self-neglect behavior in older adults and explore the associated influencing factors.Methods:A fixed cohort was constructed based on the data from three surveys of Chinese longitudinal healthy longevity survey (CLHLS) from 2011 to 2018. A total of eight variables from 4 dimensions including living environment, lifestyle, social interaction, and health care were selected to evaluate self-neglect. Group-based trajectory model was used to identify the development trajectory of self-neglect behavior in the older adults, and polynomial Logistic regression model was used to explore its influencing factors by Stata 16.1.Results:Finally, 2 754 older adults aged 60 and above were included.The development trajectory of self-neglect behavior in older adults, based on the group-based trajectory model, can be classified into stable-low group ( n=268, 9.7%), descending-moderate group ( n=2 224, 80.8%), and decreasing-high group ( n=262, 9.5%). Polynomial Logistic regression showed that, compared with stable-low group, living in rural areas ( B=1.116, OR=3.053, 95% CI= 2.278-4.091) and higher activities of daily living scores( B=0.137, OR=1.147, 95% CI=1.046-1.258) were the risk factors of descending-moderate group. Education levels with 1-6 years( B=-0.398, OR=0.672, 95% CI=0.469-0.963), >6 years( B=-1.072, OR=0.342, 95% CI=0.229-0.513), being married( B=-0.476, OR=0.621, 95% CI=0.444-0.870), self-reported good health( B=-0.808, OR=0.446, 95% CI= 0.213-0.932), improved health status( B=-0.704, OR=0.495, 95% CI=0.320-0.766), self-reported average economic status( B=-1.065, OR=0.345, 95% CI=0.148-0.802), self-reported good economic status( B=-1.634, OR=0.195, 95% CI=0.082-0.467), and a higher cognition score( B=-0.142, OR=0.867, 95% CI=0.798-0.942) served as protective factors of descending-moderate group. In addition to the above factors, being in the age group of 75-89 years( B=0.481, OR=1.617, 95% CI=1.057-2.473) was a risk factor for decreasing-high group compared to stable-low group. Conclusions:Three types of self-neglect behavior trajectories among older adults were identified in this study, suggesting that physical health and economy are the influencing factors of the development trajectory of self-neglect of the elderly.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy with or without radiotherapy in the treatment of recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (R/M ESCC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 75 patients with R/M ESCC treated with sintilimab at Anyang Tumor Hospital from January 2020 to October 2021. The patients were divided into the radiotherapy (RT) group ( n=37) and non-radiotherapy (NRT) group ( n=38) based on whether they received radiotherapy. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse effects were compared between two groups. Count data were expressed as composition ratios and analyzed using Chi-square test or Fisher's exact test. Survival analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. Results:There was no statistically significant difference in ORR and DCR between the RT and NRT groups (70% vs. 61%, P=0.375; 95% vs. 89%, P=0.414). However, the complete response (CR) rate in the RT group was higher compared to that in the NRT group (19% vs. 3%, P=0.022). The median follow-up duration was 25.4 months. There was no statistically significant difference in the median PFS and OS between the RT and NRT groups (13.8 months vs. 9.9 months, P=0.221; 20.2 months vs. 18.9 months, P=0.214). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that among patients with recurrence or metastasis confined to local and / or ≤3 distant lymph nodes, there was no statistically significant difference in the median PFS between the RT and NRT groups (15.1 months vs. 8.4 months, P=0.115), but the median OS in the RT group was better than that in the NRT group (not reached vs. 12.3 months, P=0.036). Compared to the NRT group, besides an increase in grade 1-2 pneumonitis (41% vs. 18%, P=0.035), no significant increase in treatment-related toxicity was observed in the RT group. Conclusion:Immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy is safe in patients with R/M ESCC, and shows survival benefit in patients with recurrence or metastasis confined to local and / or ≤3 distant lymph nodes.

Objective:To explore the biomarkers of radiochemotherapy sensitivity and potential mechanisms in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), and validate the screened biomarkers at human tissue, animal and cellular levels.Methods:Based on bioinformatics system, clinical and transcriptome data of ESCC were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and GEO databases. HUB genes related to chemoradiotherapy sensitivity were identified by weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and cytoscape software and survival differences were analyzed. CellMiner database was used to predict and screen drugs with strong correlation with HUB genes. The expression levels of HUB genes in clinical tissues was detected by real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). Then, oe-AKR1C1 mouse model, cisplatin-resistant cells and radiation-resistant cells were constructed, and the effects of HUB genes on tumor size and mass, and cell proliferation ability were analyzed.Results:A total of 5 HUB genes were identified, among which NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1), AKR1C1 and NADH: ubiquinone oxidoreductase core subunit S2 (NDUFS2) were significantly correlated with ESCC survival (all P<0.05). Dacarbazine, alectinib and obatoclax were the anti-tumor drugs predicted to have a strong correlation with HUB genes in this study. Human tissue test results showed that the expression levels of NQO1, AKR1C1 and NDUFS2 were up-regulated in patients with chemoradiotherapy resistance, and AKR1C1 and NDUFS2 had statistical significance (both P<0.05). The results of mouse tumor bearing experiment showed that the tumor volume and mass of oe-AKR1C1 mice after radiotherapy and chemotherapy were significantly higher than those in the control group (both P<0.05). The cell experiment results showed that the expression levels of AKR1C1 and NDUFS2 in radiation-resistant cells and cisplatin-resistant cells were significantly higher than those in control cells ( P<0.05), while there was no statistically significant difference in the relative expression level of NQO1. Conclusion:NQO1, AKR1C1 and NDUFS2 are HUB genes significantly related to the survival of ESCC, which can be used as important therapeutic tumor targets for ESCC.
