		                        			OBJECTIVE To prepare nanoparticle-based targeting preparation loaded with triptolide (TP), and evaluate its quality, targeting ability and cytotoxic effects. METHODS Polymer nanoparticles carrying TP-targeted folic acid (FA) receptor (TP@PLGA-PEG-FA) were fabricated using poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid)/polyethylene glycol/FA (PLGA-PEG-FA) as the carrier by emulsion and volatilization technique. The morphology and distribution were observed, and their particle size, Zeta potential, polydispersity index (PDI), drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency were measured. Their stability, blood compatibility, in vitro drug release, uptake by RAW264.7 cells (localization with fluorescent dye Cy3.5), and in vitro cytotoxicity were evaluated. RESULTS TP@PLGA-PEG-FA exhibited spherical shape and uniform distribution, with particle size of (122.60±0.02) nm, Zeta potential of (-17.6±0.6)mV, and PDI of 0.26±0.02; drug loading capacity and encapsulation efficiency of TP were measured to be (7.78±0.05)% and (68.62±0.03)%, respectively. The hemolysis rates of 100, 200, 300, 400 µg/mL TP@PLGA- PEG-FA were 0.77%, 0.92%, 1.34% and 1.63%, respectively. There were no significant changes in particle size, PDI and Zeta potential when TP@PLGA-PEG-FA were placed in 4 ℃ water for 14 days and in DMEM culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum at 37 ℃ for 12 h. The cumulative release rate of TP@PLGA-PEG-FA was (84.83±0.29)% in phosphate buffer at pH5.5 for 72 h, which was significantly higher than the cumulative release rates in phosphate buffer solutions at pH7.4 and 6.5 for 72 h ([ 42.37±0.35)% and (63.83±0.29)% , respectively] (P<0.05). Activated RAW264.7 cells took up significantly more Cy3.5@PLGA-PEG-FA than they took up Cy3.5@PLGA-PEG-FA+free FA and Cy3.5@PLGA-PEG. When the mass concentration of TP was≥15.63 ng/mL, the survival rates of activated cells in the TP@PLGA-PEG-FA groups were significantly lower than those of the same mass concentration of free TP groups (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS The prepared TP@PLGA-PEG-FA has high stability, good blood compatibility, active targeting and cytotoxicity to inflammatory cells.

MethodsSeven databases (CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, Cochrane Library, PubMed, and Embase) and the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry were searched for the RCTs in Chinese and English. Evidence distribution was presented graphically and textually, and methodological quality was assessed via the Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB 1.0). ResultsA total of 168 RCTs were included. The number of annual publications showing an increasing trend, and 72.6% RCTs had sample sizes of 51-100 participants. The studies evaluated 108 distinct CHM interventions categorized as decoctions, granules, Chinese patent medicines, and extracts. Compound Glycyrrhizin was the most frequently used, followed by Xiaofengsan and Chushi Weiling decoction. Among the RCTs, 57.1% had the treatment courses of 4-8 weeks. Outcome measures predominantly focused on clinical response rate, skin lesion severity scores, and adverse events, with less attention to TCM symptom scores, skin barrier function, and relapse rates. The overall risk of bias was generally high. ConclusionWhile CHM for AD is a research hotspot and demonstrates clinical advantages, the related studies have problems such as unclear clinical positioning, poor research standardization and methodological quality, and insufficient prominence of TCM clinical advantages. Large-sample, methodologically rigorous, and high-quality studies are needed to enhance the evidence base for CHM in treating AD.

		                        			ObjectiveTo provide a reference for the establishment of an ideal corneal neovascularization (CNV) animal model by summarizing the modeling characteristics of CNV animal models. MethodWith "CVN" as the theme word, this paper searched the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Chinese medical journals full-text database, and PubMed database and screened out relevant literature on CNV animal experiments from 2013 to 2023. The database was established by Excel 2021, and the experimental animal strain, gender, modeling method, detection index, and application category were sorted out. The characteristics of the CNV animal model were analyzed. ResultAfter comparative analysis, it was found that the animal strains were Sprague-Dawley rats (87 times, 29.49%) and New Zealand white rabbits (52 times, 17.63%). Male animals were recommended. Most modeling methods for efficacy verification and mechanism studies were the alkali burn method. Index detection methods included apparent index observation, histopathological detection, immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western blot, and various polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests. Detection indexes included apparent indication, corneal histopathology, CNV regulation, etc. ConclusionThe CNV model of SD rats induced by the alkali burn method is recommended for model replication, and the indexes are mainly selected from the growth of CNV, corneal histopathological test, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-related test. In addition, according to the demand, the corneal apparent indication and the basic indexes related to the regulation of CNV, such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR2), basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), and secretogranin Ⅲ (Scg3) are also selected. Clinical treatment of CNV relies on anti-inflammatory drugs and anti-VEGF drugs, and there is a lack of application of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), so the model needs to be improved by adding elements of TCM syndromes.

		                        			Methods:
		                        			A convenience sampling method was used to select 3 017 college students from 10 colleges and universities in Guangdong Province and Yunnan Province, China, in May 2023. Questionnaires were administered to the students, and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the short form of the University of California at Los Angeles Loneliness Scale (ULS-6) were employed.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The total ULS-6 score of first generation college students in the family was (12.38±4.16), while the score of non first generation college students in the family was (11.89±4.38), with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.79, P <0.05). The total DASS-21 score of first generation college students in the family was (71.13±26.97), while the score of non first generation college students in the family was (70.20±26.66), with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.69, P <0.05). Among the first generation college students in the family, male students experienced more DASS-21 score (77.55±29.36) than female students (70.43±25.03)( t =5.79,  P <0.05). Urban students (12.00±4.15, 70.34±25.68) reported lower levels of loneliness score and  DASS- 21 score than rural students (12.62±4.15, 74.93±27.63), and the depression subscale scores showed statistically significant differences among students with different professional achievement rankings ( t/F =-3.42, -3.94, 4.25,  P <0.05). There was a positive correlation between loneliness, depression, anxiety, pressure and DASS-21 scales of first generation college students in the family ( r=0.64, 0.62, 0.64, 0.66, P <0.01). The linear regression analysis results showed a positive correlation between loneliness and all dimensions and total scores of the DASS-21, explaining 44% of the variance in negative emotional symptoms.

		                        			ObjectiveTo explore the clinical application law and provide literature support and development ideas for the modern application of fresh Plantaginis Herba. MethodThe literature about the application of fresh Plantaginis Herba was retrieved from the fifth edition of Chinese medical dictionary, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), VIP, Wanfang data, and Chinese medical journals and analyzed. ResultFresh Plantaginis Herba appeared frequently in ancient books, with the effects of clearing heat, cooling blood, promoting urination, and relieving stranguria. It was used for the treatment of stranguria, urine retention, bloody urine, sore and carbuncle, epistaxis, red and swelling eye, suppurative inflammation in the throat, and gynecological and pediatric diseases. According to modern medical publications, fresh Plantaginis Herba is mainly used to treated diseases in the kidney, five sense organs, spleen, stomach, lung, liver, gallbladder, and skin and gynecological and pediatric diseases. Specifically, it is mainly used to treat the syndrome of dampness and heat in kidney and skin diseases caused by the accumulation of dampness and heat toxin, with the effects of clearing heat, removing toxin, promoting urination, and relieving stranguria. Since ancient times, there have been reports of using fresh Plantaginis Herbausing for food and health care. ConclusionFresh Plantaginis Herba is widely used in clinical practice and has a high medical value and economic value. However, its modern application lags behind, so it is necessary to promote the development of fresh Plantaginis Herba from the aspects of medicinal material production, storage, transportation, preparation research and development, and clinical application.

The efficacy of ONSD, ETD and ONSD/ETD in intracranial hypertension diagnosis and prognosis assessment were analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Kaplan-Meier method was used to evaluate the 6-month risk of adverse prognosis of patients, and the comparison was made by Log-rank test.Results:The levels of intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the normal intracranial pressure group were lower than those in the intracranial hypertension group: (130.73 ± 23.63) mmH 2O (1 mmH 2O = 0.009 8 kPa) vs. (270.11 ± 35.78) mmH 2O, (5.47 ± 0.29) mm vs. (5.78 ± 0.44) mm, 0.246 ± 0.018 vs. 0.263 ± 0.018, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The scores of Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), intracranial pressure, ONSD, ONSD/ETD in the good prognosis group were lower than those in the poor prognosis group: (5.50 ± 1.24) scores vs. (6.41 ± 1.34) scores, (256.15 ± 30.23) mmH 2O vs. (280.44 ± 36.56) mmH 2O, (5.62 ± 0.40) mm vs. (5.90 ± 0.44) mm, 0.254 ± 0.014 vs. 0.270 ± 0.017, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). ROC curve analysis results showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of ONSD and ONSD/ETD for diagnosing intracranial hypertension in patients with craniocerebral trauma were 0.718 and 0.765, respectively, and the critical values were 5.87 mm and 0.263, respectively. The AUC of ONSD and ONSD/ETD predicting prognosis of intracranial hypertension patients was 0.677 and 0.763, respectively, and the critical values were 5.90 mm and 0.267, respectively. Grouped by the threshold of ONSD/ETD for the prognosis of intracranial hypertension (0.267), the incidence of adverse prognosis in ONSD/ETD > 0.267 group was higher than that in the ONSD/ETD≤0.267 group, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:ONSD/ETD can be used as an index for diagnosis and prognosis of intracranial hypertension.

		                        			Objective:To investigate the effect of prone position on the prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The patients with severe pneumonia admitted to the ICU of Qingdao Municipal Hospital from May 2022 to August 2023 were enrolled. The general information, etiology, underlying diseases, vital signs and laboratory indicators at ICU admission, clinical treatment and prognosis during ICU hospitalization were collected. The above clinical data of patients with different prognosis were compared. Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the related factors affecting survival during ICU in patients with severe pneumonia. The change in oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2) of patients with severe pneumonia were observed at 1 hour before the first prone position, 1 hour after the first prone position, and 1 hour after the end of the first prone position. The effect of prone position on oxygenation in patients with severe pneumonia was analyzed. Spearman correlation analysis was used to investigate the correlation between the duration to first prone position and the change in the PaO 2/FiO 2 before and after prone position in patients with severe pneumonia. Results:Finally, a total of 144 patients with severe pneumonia were enrolled, 45 survived and 99 died during ICU hospitalization, with a mortality of 68.8%. Compared with the survival group, the patients in the death group were older [years old: 81.00 (70.75, 86.00) vs. 71.00 (60.50, 81.50), P < 0.01], the proportion of pre-existing lung disease, heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), blood lactic acid (Lac) and the ratio of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) were higher [ratio of pre-existing lung disease: 23.2% (23/99) vs. 8.9% (4/45), HR (bpm): 99.61±22.47 vs. 91.49±18.76, RR (times/min): 22.50 (19.75, 29.25) vs. 20.00 (17.50, 24.50), Lac (mmol/L): 2.00 (1.55, 3.25) vs. 1.60 (1.20, 1.95), CRRT ratio: 25.3% (25/99) vs. 6.7% (3/45), all P < 0.05], and the proportion of prone position was lower [41.4% (41/99) vs. 68.9% (31/45), P < 0.01]. Multifactorial Logistic regression analysis showed that age [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.946, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.912-0.980, P = 0.002] and Lac ( OR = 0.563, 95% CI was 0.340-0.930, P = 0.025) were negatively correlated with survival during ICU hospitalization in severe pneumonia patients, while prone position was positively correlated with survival ( OR = 2.551, 95% CI was 1.067-6.095, P = 0.035), indicating that prone position was beneficial for improving ICU prognosis in severe pneumonia patients. The results of PaO 2/FiO 2 at different time points in prone position showed that PaO 2/FiO 2 at 1 hour of the first prone position in the patients with severe pneumonia was significantly higher than that at 1 hour before the first prone position [mmHg (1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa): 146.69 (113.92, 257.25) vs. 111.75 (70.15, 212.20), P < 0.01], indicating that the prone position had a relevant effect on the improvement of oxygenation in patients. Spearman correlation analysis showed that the duration of the first prone position in patients with severe pneumonia was significantly and positively correlated with the improvement of oxygenation at 1 hour of the first prone position ( r = 0.565, P < 0.001). Conclusions:The prone position is a therapeutic measure that can independently influence the prognosis of patients with severe pneumonia during ICU hospitalization. The prone position effectively improves oxygenation in patients with severe pneumonia and the first change in oxygenation in patients is related to the duration of the prone position.
