		                        			ObjectiveTo investigate the preventive effect and mechanism of Dendrobium officinale (DO) on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) by network pharmacology and animal experiments. MethodsDO components in blood after administration were identified and analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-QE-HF-MS/MS). Network pharmacology and molecular docking methods were employed to obtain active ingredients and potential targets of DO for NAFLD control. High-fat feeds were used to replicate the NAFLD rat model. Biochemical kits were used for detecting the expression levels of blood lipids, hepatic lipids, and liver functions of rats. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and oil red O staining were employed to observe pathological changes in rat liver, and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (Real-time PCR) assay was performed to validate potential targets obtained from the network pharmacology analysis. ResultsA total of 13 DO components were identified in blood, including berberine, dihydrosanguinarine, and oxypeucedanin. A total of 14 potential targets were screened through network pharmacology, including Forkhead box protein O1 (FoxO1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1R), involving pathways such as the advanced glycation end product (AGE)/receptor for AGE (RAGE) signaling pathway, blood lipids and atherosclerosis, insulin resistance, and FoxO signaling. The results of animal experiments showed that the NAFLD rat model was successfully replicated. After the preventive treatment with DO for NAFLD rats, the indexes of blood lipids, hepatic lipids, and liver function were normalized; lipid deposition and lesions in the liver were significantly improved; the expression level of FoxO1 mRNA in the liver was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the mRNA expression levels of phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt), EGFR, and IGF-1R were significantly increased (P<0.05). ConclusionDO has a preventive effect on NAFLD rats, and the mechanism of action may be related to the modulation of IGF1R and EGFR targets and activation of the PI3K/Akt/FoxO1 signaling pathway.

		                        			OBJECTIVE To study the effects of enteral immune microecological nutrition combined with ω-3 fish oil fat emulsion on postoperative recovery, immune function, liver function and inflammation level in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma resection, as well as the safety of the medication. METHODS A total of 106 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma admitted to our Hospital from June 2020 to December 2023 were selected and divided into control group and study group according to the random number table method, with 53 cases in each group. After undergoing hepatocellular carcinoma resection, control group was given Intacted protein enteral nutrition solution+Enhanced enteral immune microecological nutrition, and the study group was given ω-3 fish oil fat emulsion injection based on the control group. The clinical indicators (postoperative exhaust time, defecation time, postoperative ambulation, and hospital stay), liver function indicators [alanine transaminase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate transaminase (AST)], immune function indexes (CD3+ , CD4+ , CD8+ , CD4+/CD8+), inflammatory factor indexes [tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, IL-8], and indicators of intestinal mucosal barrier [D-lactic acid, intestinal fatty acid binding protein (I-FABP)] were compared between 2 groups, and the occurrence of ADR was recorded. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the postoperative exhaust time, postoperative defecation time, and hospital stay of the study group were shortened significantly, and postoperative ambulation increased significantly (P<0.05). After treatment, ALT, LDH, AST, CD8+, inflammatory factors, D-lactic acid and I-FABP of 2 groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and the study group was significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05); CD4+, CD3+, and CD4+/CD8+ of two groups were significantly higher than before treatment, and the study group was significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Enteral immune microecological nutrition combined with ω-3 fish oil fat emulsion injection can shorten the recovery time of patients after hepatocellular carcinoma resection, improve immune function, reduce inflammatory response, and improve liver function with good safety.

		                        			Intelligent algorithms, as the core element of artificial intelligence (AI), have played an irreplaceable and key role in fields such as medical AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, they have also presented new features such as the complexity of interdisciplinary integration, the conflict of ethical convergence in science and technology, the duality of risks and benefits coexistence, and the concealment of algorithm black box calculations. These features lead to numerous ethical challenges, such as algorithm bias, data security, and difficulty in tracing responsibility. Therefore, it is urgent to break through these challenges by establishing a micro-ethical institutional system for intelligent medical algorithms, setting up an ethical supervision mechanism for the operation of intelligent medical algorithms, improving ethical norms for data security protection of intelligent medical algorithms, and strengthening ethical standards for the identification of the main responsibility of intelligent medical algorithms.

		                        			Background Salidroside (SAL) has a protective effect on multiple organ systems. Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the atmosphere may lead to disruptions in gut microbiota and impact intestinal health. The regulatory effect of SAL on the gut microbiota of mice exposed to PM2.5 requires further investigation. Objective To evaluate gut microbiota disruption in mice after being exposed to PM2.5 and the potential effect of SAL. Methods Forty male C57BL/6 mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, were randomly divided into four groups: a control group, an SAL group, a PM2.5 group, and an SAL+PM2.5 group, each containing 10 mice. In the SAL group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, the mice were administered SAL (60 mg·kg−1) by gavage, while in the control group and the PM2.5 group, sterile saline (10 mL·kg−1) was administered by gavage. In the PM2.5 group and the SAL+PM2.5 group, PM2.5 suspension (8 mg·kg−1) was intratracheally instilled, and in the control group and SAL group, sterile saline (1.5 mL·kg−1) was intratracheally administered. Each experiment cycle spanned 2 d, with a total of 10 cycles conducted over 20 d. Histopathological changes in the ileum tissue of the mice were observed after HE staining. Colon contents were collected for gut microbiota sequencing and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) measurements. Results The PM2.5 group showed infiltration of inflammatory cells in the ileum tissue, while the SAL+PM2.5 group exhibited only a small amount of inflammatory cell infiltration. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased Shannon index (P<0.05) and increased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in this group was decreased; the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased Shannon index compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05) and decreased Simpson index (P<0.05), indicating that the diversity of gut microbiota in mice intervened with SAL was increased. The principal coordinates analysis (PCoA) revealed a significant separation between the PM2.5 group and the control group, while the separation trend was less evident among the control group, the SAL group, and the SAL+PM2.5 group. The unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means (UPGMA) clustering tree results showed that the control group and the SAL group clustered together first, followed by clustering with the SAL+PM2.5 group, and finally, the three groups clustered with the PM2.5 group. The PCoA and UPGMA clustering results indicated that the uniformity and similarity of the microbiota in the PM2.5 group were significantly decreased. Compared to the control group, the PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Bacteroidetes and Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05) and increased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, genus Escherichia, genus Bacteroides, genus Prevotella, genus Enterococcus, and genus Proteus (P<0.05). Compared to the PM2.5 group, the SAL+PM2.5 group showed decreased abundance of phylum Proteobacteria, phylum Actinobacteria, genus Prevotella, and genus Proteus (P<0.05), and increased abundance of Candidatus_Saccharimonas (P<0.05). The PM2.5 group showed reduced levels of propionic acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the control group (P<0.05), while the SAL+PM2.5 group showed increased levels of propionic acid, isobutyric acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, and hexanoic acid compared to the PM2.5 group (P<0.05). Conclusion Exposure to PM2.5 can cause pathological alterations, microbial dysbiosis, and disturbing production of SCFAs in intestinal tissue in mice. However, SAL can provide a certain degree of protective effect against these changes.

		                        			It is a new requirement of the new era that medical humanities courses and ideological and political courses should go together with each other. There is an inherent logic in the collaborative education of the two courses, which has the consistency of ideas, the commonality of goals, the intersection of contents and the mutual learning of methods. In practice, it is necessary to combine education with talent, theory with practice, indoctrination with penetration, online with offline, so as to improve the effectiveness of collaborative education between medical humanities courses and ideological and political courses.

		                        			The discussion on the connotation of children’s subjectivity is not only a response to the lack of children’s subjectivity at the current stage of health management, but also a reference for children’s medical science popularization. Based on the perspective of social critical theory, this study used empirical research methods to review the "Dream Medical College" project of Children’s Hospital of Fudan University. The current situation and influencing factors of health management experience of 1 520 children participating in the "Dream Medical College" project were analyzed. The study showed that 96.35% of 1 316 subjects had diagnosis and treatment experience in specialized hospitals, and the overall negative emotional performance was at a low level (0~12 points). There was significant correlation between diagnosis and treatment, invasive experience and children’s emotional performance (P<0.05). The study revealed that the diagnosis and treatment field is the main practice place of children’s health management, while the subjective of children with different diagnosis and experience perform significantly different. Children over 4 years old have better language anxiety than physical anxiety when receiving diagnosis and treatment. Although medical science popularization is an important practical form of children’s health management, it lacks the science popularization content of invasive diagnosis and treatment and emotional management, and creative popular science form is more suitable for children with long-term and frequent diagnosis and treatment experience.

		                        			ObjectiveTo study the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes of children with alopecia areata, and provide evidence for TCM differentiation and treatment in clinic. MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 800 children with alopecia areata admitted to the Hair Medicine Center of the China-Japan Friendship Hospital from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2021. The clinical data of the children were collected using a four-examination information questionnaire, including clinical characteristics (age of consultation, age of onset, course of disease, family history, severity grading), alopecia areata-related factors (triggers), and four-examination information (including sleep, diet, emotions, bladder and bowel function, etc.). Descriptive frequency analyses, rank sum tests, factor analyses and cluster analyses were performed, and the distribution of the major TCM syndromes was summarised with the clinical data. ResultsThere were 800 children with alopecia areata, including 449 males and 351 females; 8 cases (1.00%) were in infancy, 36 cases (4.50%) were in early childhood, 180 cases (22.50%) were in preschool, 380 cases (47.50%) were in school age, and 196 cases (24.50%) were in puberty at the time of consultation; the average age of consultation was 8.31±3.86 years, the average age of onset of disease was 5.40±3.82 years, and the average duration of disease was 2.94±2.77 years; 527 children (65.87%) with severe alopecia areata; 85 children (13.56%) had a family history of alopecia areata; 772 children (96.50%) had unknown triggers for their first alopecia areata, and 28 children (3.50%) reported the presence of obvious triggers, including fright (9 cases), high fever (5 cases), allergic reactions (4 cases), micronutrient (zinc, iron, etc.) deficiencies (4 cases), inappropriate diet (2 cases), environmental factors (1 case, new house renovation), atopic dermatitis (1 case), atopic asthma (1 case), and pneumonia (1 case). A total of 40 four-examination information items were collected, among which the frequency of kicking quilts was the highest with 380 cases (47.50%), followed by picky eating (369 cases, 46.13%), sleeplessness (334 cases, 41.75%), irritability (334 cases, 41.75%), partiality towards certain foods (306 cases, 38.25%), impulsiveness (297 cases, 37.13%), dry stools (233 cases, 29.13%), yellow urine (215 cases, 26.88%), nail biting (213 cases, 26.63%), bad breath (211 cases, 26.38%). According to factor analysis and cluster analysis, five types of TCM syndromes were obtained, in order as qi and blood deficiency syndrome (110 cases, 13.75%), spleen deficiency syndrome (114 cases, 14.25%), kidney essence deficiency syndrome (140 cases, 17.50%), dietary stagnation syndrome (150 cases, 18.75%), and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome (286 cases, 35.75%). Patients in each age group and SALT grading are mainly liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome. ConclusionThe TCM symptoms of children with alopecia areata are mainly based on qi and blood deficiency syndrome, spleen deficiency syndrome, kidney essence deficiency syndrome, dietary stagnation syndrome, and liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome, of which liver depression and spleen deficiency syndrome is the most common type at different ages and stages of the disease.

		                        			The theory of yin and yang is the modest differentiation thought of the traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of overall dialectics,and the dynamic changes of yin and yang profit and loss can reflect the life activities of the human body.In the early literature research and clinical practice,the author's team found that the"yang deficiency and yin stagnation"is the key pathogen of colorectal cancer,the yang qi is insufficient,and the metabolites of the yin such as phlegm,wetness and stasis are lost in gasification and accumulate to form a"yin tumor",which is stagnant in the intestine and forms colorectal cancer.Yang Qi is the process of normal cell metabolism to produce energy,Yang Qi is insufficient,the"yin knot"of the thing in the body polymerizes into tumors,The imbalance of yin and yang can cause changes in energy or substance metabolism in the body,and glutamine is one of the amino acid which is the largest consumption of tumor cells,and its metabolic process not only provides a material basis for tumor cell growth,but also creates an acidic microenvironment of hypoxia to promote the proliferation and growth of tumor cells.This paper discusses the characteristics of glutamine metabolism of colorectal cancer cells in detail,aiming to explain the occurrence of colorectal cancer from the pathogenesis of"yang deficiency yin knot",and to explain the scientific theory of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of coloral cancer with the principle of Wenyang Tongxia,aiming to provide new ideas and methods for the comprehensive treatment of CRC.
