OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of leonurine on growth arrest-specific protein-6 （GAS6）/Axl signaling pathway， and clarify its mechanism of alleviating myocardial injury in rats with coronary heart disease. METHODS The rat model of coronary heart disease was constructed； successfully modeled rats were randomly separated into model group， leonurine low- dose and high-dose groups （intragastric administration of leonurine 25， 100 mg/kg+intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 75 mg/kg）， and leonurine high-dose+GAS6/Axl signaling pathway inhibitor group （intragastric administration of leonurine 100 mg/kg+ intraperitoneal injection of R428 75 mg/kg）， with 12 rats in each group. Additional 12 normal rats were selected as control group. Each administration group was given relevant medicine； control group and model group were given a constant volume of normal saline intragastrically and intraperitoneally， once a day， for 48 consecutive days. After administration， the heart function of rats， and serum levels of inflammatory factors and myocardial injury markers were detected； the pathological morphology of myocardial tissue was observed； the myocardial cell apoptosis rate， the expressions of apoptosis and GAS6/Axl signaling pathway-related proteins were determined. RESULTS Compared with control group， model group showed disorders in the arrangement of myocardial cells and myocardial fibers， hypertrophy of myocardial cells， and nuclear condensation； left ventricular ejection fraction， left ventricular fractional shortening， ratio of early-diastolic and late-diastolic motion velocity of the mitral ring， the protein expression of GAS6， B-cell lymphoma 2/B-cell lymphoma 2 associated X protein and phosphorylated Axl/Axl ratios were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α， interleukin-1β， interleukin-6， creatine kinase isoenzyme， troponin Ⅰ and myoglobin， the cell apoptosis rate， and cleaved caspase-3/caspase-3 ratio were increased significantly （P＜0.05）. Leonurine could obviously improve the above pathological conditions and detection indicators （P＜0.05）， and the effect of leonurine high-dose group was more significant than that of leonurine low-dose group （P＜0.05）； R428 treatment could reverse the ameliorating effect of high-dose of leonurine on myocardial injury in rats with coronary heart disease （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Leonurine can alleviate myocardial injury in rats with coronary heart disease， and its mechanism of action is related to the activation of the GAS6/Axl signaling pathway.

This article systematically analyzes the historical evolution of the name， origin， medicinal parts， processing and other aspects of Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix（EPR） by referring to the herbal medicine， medical books， prescription books and other documents of the past dynasties， combined with the relevant modern research materials， so as to provide a basis for the development and utilization of famous classical formulas containing this herbal medicine. According to research， EPR was first recorded in the Shennong Bencaojing in the name of Daji， and it is the correct name of the herbal medicine in all dynasties， there are also other aliases such as Qiongju， Hongya Daji， and Xiamaxian. The dried roots of Euphorbia pekinensis from Euphorbiaceae was the mainstream of the past dynasties. Before the Ming dynasty， the above ground parts of E. pekinensis were used as Zeqi in herbal works. However， since LI Shizhen in the Ming dynasty proposed that the origin of Zeqi should be E. helioscopia， the aerial part of EPR is no longer used as medicine. Since modern times， the roots of Knoxia valerianoides has been used as EPR， and has become the mainstream of commodities， which should be corrected. Throughout history， it has been recorded that the main producing areas were Jiangsu， Anhui， Zhejiang， Shanxi and other regions， while modern botanical survey have shown that EPR is a widespread species distributed throughout the country. In ancient times， the harvesting time of EPR was mostly the twelfth lunar month， while in modern time， it is more common to harvest in autumn and winter. The main processing methods of EPR in ancient times were vinegar processing， wine processing， and stir frying， while in modern times， it is uniformly vinegar processing. In the medicinal properties and clinical aspects， the records are basically consistent throughout history， mainly characterized by bitter taste， cold and toxic nature. Its main efficacy is expelling water retention and reducing swelling. Based on the textual research， it is suggested to choose the dried roots of E. pekinensis when famous classical formulas containing EPR， processing method can be based on the original specified prescription requirements， if the processing method is not clear， it is recommended to use vinegar-processed products as medicine.

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy （DMD） is an X-linked recessive inherited myopathy caused by a pathogenic variant of the amyotrophic protein gene. Currently， DMD patients have needs for treatment， education， and social integration at different stages of the disease. Faced with the multiple needs of DMD patients， based on the professional value and ethics of social work， the integrative orientation of social work， and the multiple roles of social workers， social workers can build a comprehensive service system centred on DMD patients and provide multiple services. Specifically， social work intervention paths can enhance the health and well-being of DMD patients and improve their quality of life by providing various services such as in-hospital and out-of-hospital health management， psychological support， resource links， empowerment， construction of social support networks， science popularization， and policy advocacy.

Objective: To construct a quality control evaluation indicator system for the surveillance of common diseases among students, so as to provide a reference for the quality control of surveillance projects. Methods: Based on literature review and expert interviews, a preliminary framework and candidate indicators were developed from June to August in 2024. Twenty domain experts participated in two rounds of Delphi consultations conducted via email, providing importance ratings, judgment basis, familiarity levels, and feasibility assessments for each indicator. And a quality control evaluation indicator system for the surveillance of common diseases among students was ultimately constructed. Results: The consulted experts aged 33-53, with an average age of (45.25±5.03) years, were from government health administration departments( n =1), centers for disease control and prevention at different levels( n =16), academic and research institutions( n =3). Their work experience in school health related fields ranged from 6 to 33 years, with an average of (16.70±8.25) years. The activeness of experts in both rounds of consultation was 100%, the mean expert authority coefficient was 0.90, and the mean feasibility evaluation was 0.75. Kendall s W test showed that the expert coordination coefficient for the first round was 0.26, and for the second round, it was 0.33 ( P <0.01). After two rounds of expert consultation, a set of quality control evaluation indicators for the surveillance of common diseases among students was ultimately constructed, including 6 first level indicators, 19 second level indicators, and 37 third level indicators. Conclusion The scientifically developed evaluation indicator system facilitates high quality implementation of student common disease surveillance programs.

The Compilation Instructions for Expert Consensus on Clinical Application of Dieda Huoxue capsules systematically expound the development methods and evidence-based basis of this consensus. In view of the weak clinical application evidence and ambiguous indications of Dieda Huoxue capsules， the Institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine of the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences and Wangjing Hospital took the lead and collaborated with 33 experts from 28 medical institutions nationwide. They strictly followed the World Health Organization （WHO） guideline-making norms and the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluations （GRADE） evidence-grading system and completed the compilation through multidisciplinary cooperation. The workflow included constructing clinical questions （19 items were screened by the nominal group technique）， retrieving evidence （from Chinese and English databases and grey literature）， assessing safety （integrating drug monitoring data and clinical investigations）， and forming recommendations and consensus suggestions （3 recommendations were reached via the GRADE grid method， and 16 consensus suggestions were reached by the majority vote rule）. The results indicate that the consensus clearly states that this medicine （Dieda Huoxue capsules） is applicable to conditions like traumatic injury， blood stasis-induced pain， and sudden lumbar sprains. The recommended dose is 6 capsules each time， twice a day. Combining oral administration with external application can enhance the efficacy， and elderly patients should take the medicine at intervals. Safety monitoring suggests that it should be used with caution in people with a bleeding tendency and those with an allergic constitution. The compilation process involved three rounds of reviews by internal and external experts. Literature analysis， the Delphi method， and clinical applicability tests were employed to ensure methodological rigor. The compilation instructions comprehensively present key aspects such as project approval and registration， conflict-of-interest statements， and evidence evaluation through 12 appendices， providing methodological support for the clinical translation of the consensus. In the future， it will be continuously improved through a dynamic revision mechanism.

In recent years, with the rapid development of organ donation after citizen’s death and transplantation, central and local governments in China have successively released incentive policies. To protect the legitimate rights and interests of organ donors after citizen’s death and their families, current status of incentive policies for organ donation after citizen’s death was illustrated and analyzed from the perspective of ethics. Combining with the principles of justice, respect for autonomy, nonmaleficence and beneficence, the problems existing in the implementation of incentive policies for organ donation after citizen’s death were identified in China, such as lack of continuous psychological intervention in spiritual incentives, the misinterpretation of humanitarian assistance in practice and the impact of indirect economic incentives on individual donation autonomy, etc. Relevant countermeasures and suggestions were proposed at the government, society and individual levels, aiming to provide reference for improving the incentive policies for organ donation after citizen’s death and accelerate the development of organ donation in China.

Objective To summarize the effect of the timing of lung transplantation and related treatment measures on clinical prognosis of patients with paraquat poisoning. Methods Clinical data of a patient with paraquat poisoning undergoing bilateral lung transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination, diagnosis and treatment of this patient were summarized and analyzed. Results A 17-year-old adolescent was admitted to hospital due to nausea, vomiting, cough and systemic fatigue after oral intake of 20-30 mL of 25% paraquat. After symptomatic support treatment, the oxygen saturation was not improved, and pulmonary fibrosis continued to progress. Therefore, sequential bilateral lung transplantation was performed under extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). After postoperative rehabilitation and active prevention and treatment for postoperative complications, the patient was discharged at postoperative 50 d. Conclusions The timing of lung transplantation after paraquat poisoning may be selected when the liver and kidney function start to recover. Active and targeted prevention of potential pathogen infection in perioperative period and early rehabilitation training contribute to improving clinical prognosis of lung transplant recipients.
