		                        			Objective: To explore the efficacy of pelvic floor optimization training of Yun-type with the aid of myoelectric biofeedback in the treatment of mild to moderate female stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods: Female SUI patients treated in our hospital during Jan.and Oct.2024 were included as the research subjects.They were randomly divided into the control group (n=47) and observation group (n=48) by random number method.The control group received conventional Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training,while the observation group received Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training assisted with myoelectric biofeedback.The total treatment course lasted for 12 weeks.The clinical efficacy,as well as the changes in international consultation on incontinence questionnaire for symptoms and impact (ICI-Q-SF),incontinence quality of life (I-QoL),female sexual function index (FSFI),and pelvic floor electromyographic values before and after treatment were compared. Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 93.6%,which was significantly higher than that of the control group (79.2%,P<0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment,the ICI-Q-SF [(6.12±1.11) vs. (6.97±1.24)],I-QoL [(85.05±4.51) vs. (82.14±4.60)],and FSFI [(30.01±4.10) vs. (26.32±3.32)] scores of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (P<0.05).After 12 weeks of treatment,the myoelectric values of the pelvic floor muscles of the observation group at the pre-rest stage,fast muscle (type Ⅱ muscle) stage,slow muscle (type Ⅰ muscle) stage,endurance test stage,and post-rest stage were significantly improved compared with those before treatment and were greatly enhanced compared with those of the control group (P<0.05).No serious adverse reactions occurred in either groups during treatment and follow-up. Conclusion: The Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training assisted with myoelectric biofeedback can precisely enhance the therapeutic effects of the conventional Yun-type pelvic floor optimization training,and significantly improve the female sexual function index.It is worthy of clinical promotion and application.

		                        			Objective  To construct a "disease-syndrome combination" mathematical representation model for pulmonary nodules based on oral microbiome data, utilizing a multimodal data algorithm framework centered on dynamic systems theory. Furthermore, to compare predictive models under various algorithmic frameworks and validate the efficacy of the optimal model in predicting the presence of pulmonary nodules. Methods A total of 213 subjects were prospectively enrolled from July 2022 to March 2023 at the Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Sichuan Cancer Hospital, and the Chengdu Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital. This cohort included 173 patients with pulmonary nodules and 40 healthy subjects. A novel multimodal data algorithm framework centered on dynamic systems theory, termed VAEGANTF (Variational Auto Encoder-Generative Adversarial Network-Transformer), was proposed. Subsequently, based on a multi-dimensional integrated dataset of “clinical features-syndrome elements-microorganisms”, all subjects were divided into training (70%) and testing (30%) sets for model construction and efficacy testing, respectively. Using pulmonary nodules as dependent variables, and combining candidate markers such as clinical features, lesion location, disease nature, and microbial genera, the independent variables were screened based on variable importance ranking after identifying and addressing multicollinearity. Missing values were then imputed, and data were standardized. Eight machine learning algorithms were then employed to construct pulmonary nodule risk prediction models: random forest, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression, support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), VAE-ViT (Vision Transformer), GAN-ViT, and VAEGANTF. K-fold cross-validation was used for model parameter tuning and optimization. The efficacy of the eight predictive models was evaluated using confusion matrices and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, and the optimal model was selected. Finally, goodness-of-fit testing and decision curve analysis (DCA) were performed to evaluate the optimal model. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in demographic characteristics such as age and sex. The 213 subjects were randomly divided into training and testing sets (7 : 3), and prediction models were constructed using the eight machine learning algorithms. After excluding potential problems such as multicollinearity, a total of 301 clinical feature information, syndrome elements, and microbial genera markers were included for model construction. The area under the curve (AUC) values of the random forest, LASSO regression, support vector machine, multilayer perceptron, and VAE-ViT models did not reach 0.85, indicating poor efficacy. The AUC values of the XGBoost, GAN-ViT, and VAEGANTF models all reached above 0.85, with the VAEGANTF model exhibiting the highest AUC value (AUC=0.923). Goodness-of-fit testing indicated good calibration ability of the VAEGANTF model, and decision curve analysis showed a high degree of clinical benefit. The nomogram results showed that age, sex, heart, lung, Qixu, blood stasis, dampness, Porphyromonas genus, Granulicatella genus, Neisseria genus, Haemophilus genus, and Actinobacillus genus could be used as predictors. Conclusion  The “disease-syndrome combination” risk prediction model for pulmonary nodules based on the VAEGANTF algorithm framework, which incorporates multi-dimensional data features of “clinical features-syndrome elements-microorganisms”, demonstrates better performance compared to other machine learning algorithms and has certain reference value for early non-invasive diagnosis of pulmonary nodules.

		                        			Radiation-induced lung injury is a prevalent side effect of radiotherapy for chest cancer. The "three phases and three methods "is an innovative theory based on the evolution of the core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury. Its formation also considers the understanding of radiation-induced lung injury by ancient and modern medical practitioners, pathological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and the development patterns of radiation-induced lung injury. The "three phases and three methods" refers to the three phases of the course and the three treatment methods. The core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury from the beginning, middle and late stages is heat toxicity, yin deficiency, and blood stasis. Therefore, the course of radiation-induced lung injury is divided into three phases: blazing heat toxin, yin deficiency and heat accumulation, and static blood obstruction. The method of clearing the lung and resolving toxins, enriching yin and venting heat, invigorating blood and dissolving stasis are used respectively. Traditional Chinese medicines commonly used in each phase include Flos Lonicerae, Atrina Glass, heartleaf houttuynia herb, Radix Ophiopogonis, American Ginseng, Forsythiae Fructus, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Rhizoma Ligustici chuanxiong, Scorpio, etc. This article presents the theoretical origins of the "three phases and three methods" concept by reviewing of ancient literature, inheriting experience, and summarizing disease pathogenesis, as well as elaborating on the academic connotations of the "three phases and three methods". The scientific validity of the "three phases and three methods" is verified by literature, clinical, and basic research. The "three phases and three methods" interprets the core characteristics of each stage of radiation-induced lung injury, improves the traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment system for radiation-induced lung injury, and provides theoretical basis for achieving complete process management.
		                        		
		                        		
		                        		
		                        	
4.Prevention and Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease by Traditional Chinese Medicine via Regulating ROS: A Review

		                        			The pathological mechanism of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is complex, and there are many hypotheses. The mainstream theory is the amyloid-beta protein (Aβ) and Tau protein phosphorylation. Oxidative stress (OS) is a bridge between other hypotheses and mechanisms and plays a key role in many hypotheses. Therefore, the treatment of OS in AD (ADOS) is beneficial in alleviating disease progression. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a kind of antioxidant and a kind of oxidation products, with Aβ and Tau protein interactions, activating microglia and astrocytes, triggering inflammation and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to the deterioration of the environment in the brain, and accelerating the development of disease. ROS, as a signal messenger inducing OS, is widely involved in the progression of AD and may be a new target for the progression of AD. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) monomers and compounds play an increasingly important role in the prevention and treatment of AD. Recent studies have found that the effective prevention and treatment of AD by TCM is closely related to the regulation of ROS. There are many studies on the mechanism of TCM in the treatment of AD via regulating ROS, but there is a lack of systematic review. By analyzing and summarizing the literature in China and abroad in recent years, this paper reviewed the generation and physiology of ROS, the mechanism of action of AD, and the prevention of AD by TCM via regulating ROS through relevant ways, so as to provide references for the research on the regulation of ROS by TCM and provide new targets and new methods for the prevention and treatment of AD.

		                        			Objective:To analyze the expression and prognosis of B-cell lymphoma 7 protein family member A (BCL7A) in hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as the effect and mechanism of BCL7A expression on the invasion and migration of hepatocellular carcinoma cells.Methods:The cancer tissues and adjacent tissues of 40 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent radical hepatobiliary resection in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from November 2017 to March 2018 were prospectively collected for protein extraction, including 29 males and 11 females, aged (58.5±10.4) years. The information of 374 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma and 50 cases of adjacent tissues were downloaded from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, and the hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines Hep3B and SMMC-7721 were transfected with overexpressing BCL7A plasmid and empty vector plasmid (negative control), respectively. Western blotting and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression of BCL7A, and Western blotting was also used to detect the expression of proteins related to epithelial-mesenchymal transition (N-cadherin, E-cadherin, snail). Transwell and cell scratch assays were used to detect cell invasion and migration.Results:Compared with adjacent tissues, the mRNA expression of BCL7A in 50 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma in TCGA was significantly increased ( t=13.38, P<0.001). According to the median mRNA expression level of BCL7A, 374 patients were divided into BCL7A high expression group ( n=187) and low expression group ( n=187), and the cumulative survival rate of BCL7A high expression patients was lower than that of low expression group, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=6.95, P=0.009). Western blot was used to detect the relative expression of BCL7A protein in cancer tissues, and found it was higher compared to adjacent tissues. Compared with the negative control group, the number of cells invaded by the BCL7A overexpression group of hepatoma cells Hep3B and SMMC-7721 was more than the negative control group respectively, (153.7±1.3) vs (63.7±4.7) and (307.7±25.14) vs (72.3±12.5), and the differences were statistically significant ( t=7.97, 8.38, both P=0.001) .The results of the cell scratch assay were consistent with the results of the Transwell invasion assay. The expressions of N-cadherin and snail in the BCL7A overexpression group were higher than those in the negative control group, and the E-cadherin was lower, and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The expression of BCL7A in cancer tissues of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma is elevated and is associated with poor prognosis. BCL7A may promote hepatocellular carcinoma cell metastasis and invasion by promoting epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

		                        			Blood stasis is an important pathological factor throughout the whole course of radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, which could evolve from new into long stagnation, and the methods of dispelling stasis to promote regeneration should throughout the whole disease progress. It is believed that the basis of the radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis is heat toxin dispersing qi and yin, and deficiency of healthy qi promoting blood stasis. The process of the disease showed latent fire burning pulmonary collaterals, and the binding of phlegm and stasis. The key factors of the disease were the damage of ying-wei (营卫) qi in channels and collaterals, as well as the blood stasis evolving into dried blood. It is suggested that during radiotherapy, we should pay more attention to relieve heat, moisten dryness, supplement qi and yin, nourish and harmonize blood, and remove blood stasis, so as to prevent disease before it arises. If there is radiation pneumonia, we could focus on dissolving phlegm, removing blood stasis, clearing latent fire, and unblocking the collaterals and veins, in order to "control the development of existing disease". If it develops into radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, we could relive the center and supplement deficiency, tonify original qi, dispel stasis to promote regeneration, and clear dried blood, for the purpose of slowing the progression of disease. These ideas might provide reference for clinical treatment.

		                        			Radiation-induced lung injury (RILI) is caused by the "heat toxin" of radiation. Based on the clinical manifestation and the pathological characteristics of RILI in different phases in modern medicine, RILI is divided into three phases, that is intense heat toxin phase, yin deficiency and heat accumulation phase, and static blood obstruction phase, for which "three phases and three methods" has been proposed to prevent and treat RILI. For the early stage of RILI, that is intense heat toxin phase, it is recommended to use the method of clearing the lung and resolving toxins, usually with Yin Qiao Powder (银翘散) in modifications. Regarding the middle stage which is yin deficiency and heat accumulation phase, the method of enriching yin and venting heat is recommended, often using self-made Yangyin Qingfei Formula (养阴清肺方). In terms of the late stage, that is the static blood obstruction phase, It is recommended to invigorate blood and dissolve stasis, usually with self-made Qingfei Huoxue Formula (清肺活血方).

		                        			 Objective To investigate the prevalence of parasitic infections in market-sold aquatic products in Shanghai Municipality, and to understand the knowledge and practice towards food-borne parasitic diseases among residents, so as to provide insights into the surveillance and control of food-borne parasitic diseases. Methods Freshwater products, seawater products and pickled products were randomly obtained from agricultural trade markets, supermarkets, retail stores and restaurants in Huangpu, Putuo, Minhang and Qingpu districts of Shanghai Municipality from 2020 to 2023. Parasite metacercariae and larvae were detected in these aquatic products using pressing method, digestion method and the dissection method, and the detection of parasitic infection was compared in different types of aquatic products. In addition, the knowledge and practice towards food-borne parasitic diseases were investigated among residents aged 10-80 years old who randomly selected from agricultural trade markets, supermarkets, community streets and other population concentration areas in these four districts by questionnaire in 2023, and the awareness of food-borne parasitic diseases knowledge and percentage of healthy behaviors formation were analyzed. Results A total of 2 109 aquatic products sampled from Huangpu, Putuo, Minhang and Qingpu districts of Shanghai Municipality from 2020 to 2023 were detected, and there were 317 products detected with parasitic infections, with an overall detection rate of 15.03%. There were 8 products detected with parasitic infections in 1 221 freshwater products, with a detection rate of 0.66%, and Clonorchis sinensis was the predominant parasite, which was detected in Pseudorasbora parva, Rhodeus amarus and Carassius auratus. There were 82 products detected with parasitic infections in 501 seawater products, with a detection rate of 16.37%, and Anisakis was the predominant parasite, which was detected in Trichiurus lepturus, Larimichthys polyactis, Pneumatophorus japonicus, Collchthys lucidus, Mugil cephalus, Larimichthys crocea, Scomberomorus niphonius, Stromateoides argenteus and Cololabis saira. There were 227 products detected with parasitic infections in 387 pickled products, with a detection rate of 58.66%, and the prevalence rates of Echinostoma metacercariae were 76.27% (225/295) in Bullacta exarata and 11.11% (2/18) in crab pastes, respectively (χ2 = 159.511, P < 0.05). No Paragonimus infection was found in freshwater shrimps, crabs and pickled products, and no Diphyllobothrium latum larvae infection was detected in freshwater and seawater fish. Questionnaire surveys showed that the awareness of food-borne parasitic diseases knowledge was 79.00% (222/281), and the percentages of washing hands before and after meals, not drinking filtered water or tap water directly, not eating raw or semi-raw food, being willing to change special dietary preferences or bad living habits for health, and being willing to learn more about food-borne parasitic diseases knowledge were 99.64% (280/281), 72.24% (203/281), 56.23% (158/281), 96.80% (272/281) and 97.51% (274/281) among residents living in Huangpu, Putuo, Minhang and Qingpu districts, respectively. Conclusions There are food-borne parasite contaminations in market-sold aquatic products in Shanghai Municipality. Although residents are aware of food-borne parasitic diseases knowledge, sustainable surveillance of food-borne parasitic diseases and improved health education are required to minimize the risk of human parasitic infections.

		                        			Objective:To explore the chain mediating effect of anxiety and flow experience on perceived stress and mobile phone addiction in nursing college students.Methods:In December 2021, a cross-sectional design survey was conducted on 4 179 freshmen and sophomores in a nursing college in Heilongjiang Province. The Chinese perceived stress scale, generalized anxiety disorder-7, flow state scale, and mobile phone addiction tendency scale were selected separately to assess perceived stress, anxiety symptoms, flow experience and mobile phone addiction. SPSS 26.0 software was used for descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, Spearman correlation analysis, and AMOS 24.0 software was used for mediating effect test. Results:(1) Among the 3 050 nursing students, there were 714(23.41%) students who were addicted to mobile phones. (2) Spearman correlation analysis indicated that perceived stress(27.31±9.56) was positively correlated with anxiety(7.00(1.00, 10.00), r=0.441, P<0.05), flow experience((12.00±3.40), r=0.517, P<0.05), and mobile phone addiction((42.42±13.05), r=0.476, P<0.05).Anxiety was positively correlated with flow experience ( r=0.430, P<0.01) and mobile phone addiction ( r=0.538, P<0.01).Flow experience was positively correlated with mobile phone addiction ( r=0.490, P<0.01). (3) Anxiety and flow experience played seperate mediating and chain mediating roles between perceived stress and mobile phone addiction, accounting for 26.06%(0.165/0.633), 23.54%(0.149/0.633) and 3.48%(0.022/0.633) of the total effect. Conclusion:Perceived stress not only directly affects the mobile phone addiction of nursing students, but also indirectly affects mobile phone addiction through the independent and chain mediating effects of anxiety and flow experience.
