Kidney deficiency syndrome is a common clinical syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). With the progress of science and technology, clinical and animal experiments on kidney deficiency syndrome have made remarkable progress. Research on kidney deficiency and the nature of "kidney" involves a large number of physiological and pathological bases, which are closely related to physiological and pathological links in the human body, among which the neuroendocrine-immune network shares the closest relationship. However, there are still many challenges in modern research on kidney deficiency syndrome, such as expert consensus on clinical diagnostic criteria and evaluation indexes and optimization of animal experimental models. In the past decade, a large number of clinical and animal experiments have been reported in the literature on kidney deficiency syndrome, among which the literature focusing on the combination of disease and syndrome is predominant, and most of them focus on kidney Yang deficiency and kidney Yin deficiency, involving the exploration of many pathological mechanisms. Research on the mechanisms related to kidney deficiency syndrome encompasses multiple signaling pathways and various biochemical indicators, including the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-relatedfactor-2(PI3K/Akt/Nrf2) signaling pathway, the Toll-like receptor 4/myeloid differentiation factor88/nuclear factor-κB(TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB) signaling pathway, the Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3(JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway, Osteoprotectin/nuclear factor-κB receptor activator ligand/receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (OPG/RANKL/RANK) signaling pathway. The biochemical indicators cover the cyclic adenosine monophosphate/cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cAMP/cGMP) ratio, Na+-K+-ATPase activity, Ca2+-Mg2+-ATPase activity, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), polycorticosterone (CORT), 17-OHCS, and other sex hormone indicators, providing crucial reference values for diagnosing kidney Yang deficiency or kidney Yin deficiency. The literature related to kidney deficiency syndrome over the past decade was collated and excavated, with a view to providing a reference for research on kidney deficiency syndrome.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(11):1551-1554
Objective:
To understand the nutritional literacy level and associated factors of primary and secondary school students in Beijing, so as to provide a scientific basis for improving student nutrition.
Methods:
From October 2022 to May 2023, a multi stage cluster random sampling method was employed to select a total of 14 568 primary, junior and senior high school students from 16 districts (ecluding the Economic Technological Development area) in Beijing. Through a survey questionnaire on nutritional literacy and dietary hehavior of school age children, basic information as well as data on nutritional literacy levels across four dimensions:nutrition related knowledge concepts, food selection, food preparation, and food intake dimensions were obtained. The Wilcoxon rank sum test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlation analysis, Chi square test and binary Logistic regression were used for the analysis.
Results:
The median total score of nutritional literacy among primary and secondary school students in Beijing was 68.8. Approximately 26.0% of primary and secondary school students achieved nutritional literacy standards. The median scores and rates of meeting the standards for nutrition related knowledge concepts, food selection, food preparation and food intake dimensions were 23.0, 42.1%; 17.0, 27.4%; 6.5, 33.5%; 23.0, 33.3%, respectively. There were positive correlations between all pairs of the four dimensions ( r=0.33-0.49, P <0.05). The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that primary school students, junior high school students, female students, suburban students, caregivers with a college education level and a bachelor s degree or above were the positive arrelation factors that promoted the achievement of nutritional literacy standards ( OR =2.21, 1.39, 1.18, 1.27, 1.42, 1.66, P <0.05).
Conclusion
The literacy level of primary and secondary school students in Beijing needs to be significantly improved. School stage, gender, region and caregiver s education level are associated factors.

ObjectiveTo clarify the therapeutic effect of Huashi Baidu prescription on pneumonia in mice caused by influenza A (H1N1) virus and explore its mechanism based on the transcriptome. MethodA mouse influenza viral pneumonia model was built by intranasal infection with influenza A virus, and mice were continuously administered the drug for five days, so as to investigate the general condition, lung index, viral load, pathological morphology of lung tissue, survival time, and prolongation rate of survival time of mice and clarify the therapeutic effect of Huashi Baidu prescription on influenza viral pneumonia. Transcriptome technology was used to detect the differentially expressed genes in the lung tissue of mice in the model group and the normal group, as well as the Huashi Baidu prescription group and the model group, and the potential core target of the Huashi Baidu prescription for the treatment of influenza viral pneumonia was screened. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was used to verify the effect of Huashi Baidu prescription on the mRNA expression level of core target genes. ResultCompared with the normal group, the lung index and viral load in the lung tissue of the model group were significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the high-dose group of Huashi Baidu prescription significantly prolonged the survival time of mice infected with influenza A virus (P<0.05) and significantly reduced the lung index value of mice (P<0.05) and the viral load of lung tissue. The high-dose, medium-dose, and low-dose groups of Huashi Baidu prescription could significantly reduce lung tissue inflammation, blood stasis, swelling, and other pathological changes in mice (P<0.05, P<0.01). Transcriptome analysis of lung tissue showed that core genes were mainly enriched in the nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, interleukin-17 (IL-17) signaling pathway, cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, and other pathways after the intervention of Huashi Baidu prescription. TRAF6, NFKBIA, CCL2, CCL7, and CXCL2 were the top five node genes with combined score values. Real-time PCR validation showed that Huashi Baidu prescription significantly downregulated the mRNA expression of key genes TRAF6 and NFKBIA in the NF-κB signaling pathway, as well as chemokines CCL2, CCL7, and CXCL2 (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionHuashi Baidu prescription has a therapeutic effect on influenza viral pneumonia, possibly by inhibiting the expression of key nodes TRAF6 and NFKBIA in the NF-κB signaling pathway and that of chemokines CCL2, CCL7, and CXCL2, reducing the recruitment of inflammatory cells and viral load, and exerting anti-influenza viral pneumonia effects.

Objective:To analyze the changing trend of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) incidence among residents with different characteristics during 9 years of comprehensive hypertension prevention and control (hypertension prevention and control) in Tengzhou from 2013 to 2021.Methods:From January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2021, the new ICH cases collected by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Tengzhou City were analyzed to calculate the incidence of ICH, and the trend of its distribution was analyzed among residents with different ages, sexes, and between urban and rural areas. The registered population information came from Tengzhou Public Security Bureau. Age and sex standardized incidence was calculated based on the 7th National Population Census in 2020. The Cochran-Armitage test was used to analyze the time and age trends of the incidence.Results:The overall ICH crude and standardized incidence in Tengzhou City decreased from 97.30/100 000 to 52.13/100 000 ( Z=-9.93, P<0.001) and 119.30/100 000 to 50.69/100 000 ( Z=-15.40, P<0.001) from 2013 to 2021, and both elevated to form a single peak in 2020, with 22.58% ( χ 2=24.02, P<0.001) and 18.09% ( χ 2=17.08, P<0.001) higher than in 2019, respectively. The trends in male and female incidence over the same period were similar to the overall trends, and the incidence was higher in males than in females in all years. The incidence of ICH increased with age in all years. The difference of increase in male incidence rate in 2020 was statistically significant in three age groups ≥45 years compared with 2019 (36.29%, 23.57% and 16.18%, respectively, χ 2=6.73, 4.65, 4.00, P<0.001). The incidence of ICH decreased by 70.07% and 36.23% ( Z=18.44, 5.22, P<0.001) in urban and rural areas respectively from 2013 to 2021, whereas increased by 34.15% ( χ 2=10.88, P<0.01) and 22.08% ( χ 2=18.63, P<0.001) in 2020 compared with 2019 separately. Conclusions:The incidence of ICH in Tengzhou from 2013 to 2021 showed a significant downward trend, with the decrease in the incidence of ICH in women exceeding that in men. The decrease in the incidence of ICH in urban areas exceeded that in rural areas, and male morbidity seemingly had a younger trend.

ObjectiveTo reveal the targets and molecular mechanisms of the action of Qiangxin Decoction (强心汤) for the treatment of chronic heart failure based on the combination of network pharmacology and molecular docking. MethodsThe active ingredients of Qiangxin Decoction were retrieved from TCMSP database, and the targets of chronic heart failure were screened by searching GeneCards, OMIM, TTD, PharmGkb, and DrugBank databases, and the intersections were taken to obtain the intersecting targets of Qiangxin Decoction for the treatment of chronic heart failure. STRING platform was used to construct the protein-protein interaction network (PPI), Cytoscape 3.8.0 software was used to calculate the network topology to screen the core targets, and R 4.2.3 was used to construct the “active ingredient-target” network by analyzing the GO enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. AutoDock 1.5.7 was used for molecular docking to predict the binding performance of active ingredients and core targets. ResultsSeventy-five intersecting targets were identified for the treatment of chronic heart failure with Qiangxin Decoction, among which the core targets were estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1, degree value=7), nuclear receptor coactivator 1 (NCOA1, degree value=8), glucocorticoid receptor (NR3C1, degree value=7), and nuclear receptor coactivator 2 (NCOA2, degree value=7). GO enrichment analysis showed that the top 3 items with the smallest P value in molecular function were G protein-coupled amine receptor activity, postsynaptic neurotransmitter receptor activity, and neurotransmitter receptor activity (P<0.01); the top 3 items with the smallest P value in biological process were adenylyl cyclase-activated adrenergic receptor signaling pathway, adrenergic receptor signaling pathway, and adenylyl cyclase-regulated G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway (P<0.01); the top 3 items with the smallest P values in cellular composition were components of the postsynaptic membrane, synaptic membrane, and presynaptic membrane (P<0.01). KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the top 5 key signaling pathways were neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions, calcium signaling pathway, dopaminergic synapses, cocaine addiction, and cyclic guanosine monophosphate-protein kinase G (cGMP-PKG) signaling pathway. The molecular docking results showed that lignans and isoflavones had lower binding energies and more structural stability with the four core targets (ESR1, NCOA1, NR3C1, NCOA2). ConclusionThe treatment of chronic heart failure by Qiangxin Decoction was associated with neuroactive ligand-receptor interactions, calcium signaling pathway, dopaminergic synapses, chemoattractant-receptor activation, cGMP-PKG signaling pathway, lipids and atherosclerosis, and cAMP signaling pathway, and lignans and isoflavones may be the core active compounds in its treatment of chronic heart failure.

Objective:To re-evaluate the quality of methodology and outcome indicators for systematic reviews/meta-analysis about the effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions for chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting(CINV).Methods:The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and CBM for systematic reviews/meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical intervention in the prevention or treatment of CINV from inception to May 2021 were searched. The methodological quality of the included literature was evaluated by the AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation tool, and the quality of the evidence for the outcome indicators was evaluated by GRADE system.Results:A total of 24 articles were included, 7 of the AMSTAR 2 quality evaluation results were low-level, and the remaining 17 were all very low-level. The main defects were the lack of preliminary study design scheme, incomplete search strategy, no list of excluded literature, and no report of included research funding sources, etc. Only 1 of the outcome indicators was classified as high quality, 7 were classified as intermediate, and the rest were low or very low quality.Conclusions:Methodological quality and strength of evidence of systematic reviews/meta-analysis on the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical intervention for CINV are generally low, and the reliability of research results is poor. It is necessary to design scientific and rigorous high-quality RCTs and systematic reviews to further verify the effectiveness of non-pharmaceutical interventions in the future.
