Recurrent spontaneous abortion （RSA） is a common gynecological disease during pregnancy， clinically characterized by repeated spontaneous abortions， yet its pathological mechanism remains incompletely understood. Traditional Chinese medicine attributes the pathogenesis of RSA to the deficiency of Chong Ren and the lack of fetal solidity. It has amassed experience in treating RSA， with Shoutaiwan being widely utilized for addressing miscarriage symptoms such as habitual abortion due to kidney deficiency， bleeding during pregnancy， and fetal movement. In recent years， there has been a gradual increase in experimental studies on the application of Shoutaiwan in treating RSA and on related experiments. These studies have demonstrated that Shoutaiwan preserves the fetus mainly by modulating hormone balance， alleviating immune inflammation， and enhancing blood coagulation equilibrium during pregnancy. Besides， through the modulation of key signaling pathways such as nuclear factor， erythroid 2 like 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） and Janus kinase 1 （JAK1）/signal transducer and activator of transcription （STAT）， as well as mitogen-activated protein kinase （MAPK）， Shoutaiwan has improved cellular antioxidant capacity， adjusted the phenotype of trophoblast and metaphase cells， and inhibited immune rejection， thus improving the pregnancy success rate. These findings not only elucidate the diverse biological foundations underlying Shoutaiwan's efficacy in treating RSA but also offer a scientific rationale for its clinical application and further mechanism research. Nonetheless， there remains a dearth of systematic reviews on RSA treatment with Shoutaiwan. Therefore， this review summarizes and synthesizes existing research findings to systematically analyze existing literature and studies， delving deeply into the principal pharmacological effects and associated signaling pathways of Shoutaiwan in regulating RSA. It aims to establish crucial reference points for its clinical application in RSA treatment and future experiments and research.

It has been demonstrated that long-term space flights have a significantly greater impact on the cardiovascular, skeletal, and nervous systems of astronauts. The structural and functional alterations in the skeletal and muscular systems resulting from exposure to weightlessness can lead to the development of low back pain, significantly impairing the ability of astronauts to perform tasks and respond to emergencies. Both space flight and simulated microgravity have been shown to result in low back pain among astronauts, with the following factors identified as primary contributors to this phenomenon. The occurrence of intervertebral disc (IVD) edema results in the stimulation of type IV mechanoreceptors, which subsequently activate nociceptive afferents. The protrusion of an IVD causes compression of the spinal nerve roots. Furthermore, the elongation of the vertebral column and/or the diminished lumbar curvature of the spine exert traction on the dorsal root nerves. Paravertebral muscle degeneration leads to the inhibition of decreased nociceptive activity of the wide-dynamic range neurons of the spinal dorsal horn. Moreover, endogenous pain descending facilitation triggered by conditioning stimulation can be enhanced via the thalamic mediodorsal nuclei, while endogenous pain descending inhibition triggered by conditioning stimulation can be weakened via the thalamic ventromedial nuclei. Psychological factors may contribute to the development of low back pain. The mechanisms governing the generation, maintenance, and alleviation of low back pain in weightlessness differ from those observed in normal gravitational environments. This presents a significant challenge for space medicine research. Therefore, the elucidation of the occurrence and development mechanism of low back pain in weightlessness is important for the prevention and treatment during space flight. To reduce the incidence of low back pain during long-term missions on the space station, astronauts may choose to wear specialized space clothing that can provide axial physiological loads, designed to stimulate both musculature and skeletal structures, mitigating potential increases in vertebral column length, diminished lumbar curvature, and intervertebral disc edema and/or muscular atrophy. Additionally, assuming a “fetal tuck position” described as the knees to chest position may increase lumbar IVD hydrostatic pressure, subsequently reducing disc volume, rectifying diminished lumbar curvature, and alleviating dorsal root nerve tensions. Moreover, this position may reduce type IV mechanoreceptor facilitation and nerve impulse propagation from the sinuvertebral nerves of the annulus fibrosus. Elongated posterior soft tissues (apophyseal joint capsules and ligaments) with spinal flexion may potentially stimulate type I and II mechanoreceptors. It is also recommended to exercise the paraspinal muscles to prevent and alleviate the decrease in their cross-sectional area and maintain their structure and function. Photobiomodulation has been proved to be an effective means of activating the pain descending inhibition pathway of the central nervous system. In addition, astronauts should be encouraged to participate in mission-related activities and strive to avoid psychological problems caused by the long-term confinement in a small space station. The article presents a concise review of potential causes and targeted treatment strategies for low back pain induced by space flight or simulated microgravity in recent years. Its objective is to further elucidate the mechanisms underlying the occurrence and development of low back pain in weightless environments while providing scientific evidence to inform the development of guidelines for preventing, treating, and rehabilitating low back pain during long-term space flights.

ObjectiveTo identify the patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） among the health check-up population， and to perform stratified management of patients with the low， medium， and high risk of advanced fibrosis based on noninvasive fibrosis scores. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 3 125 individuals who underwent physical examination in Beijing Physical Examination Center from December 2017 to December 2019， and they were divided into MAFLD group with 1 068 individuals and non-MAFLD group with 2 057 individuals. According to BMI， the MAFLD group was further divided into lean MAFLD group （125 individuals with BMI<24 kg/m²） and non-lean MAFLD group （943 individuals with BMI≥24 kg/m²）. Indicators including demographic data， past history， laboratory examination， and liver ultrasound were compared between groups. Fibrosis-4 （FIB-4） score， NAFLD fibrosis score （NFS）， aspartate aminotransferase-to-platelet ratio index （APRI）， and BARD score were calculated for the patients in the MAFLD group to assess the risk of advanced fibrosis. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Mann-Whitney U rank sum test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups； the chi-square test or the Fisher’s exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. A logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influence of each indicator in MAFLD. ResultsCompared with the non-MAFLD group， the MAFLD group had significantly higher age （Z=-9.758， P<0.05）， proportion of male patients （χ²=137.555， P<0.05）， and levels of body weight （Z=-27.987， P<0.05）， BMI （Z=-32.714， P<0.05）， waist circumference （Z=-31.805， P<0.05）， hip circumference （Z=-26.342， P<0.05）， waist-hip ratio （Z=-28.554， P<0.05）， alanine aminotransferase （ALT） （Z=-25.820， P<0.05）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST） （Z=-16.894， P<0.05）， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase （GGT） （Z=-25.069， P<0.05）， alkaline phosphatase （Z=-12.533， P<0.05）， triglyceride （Z=-27.559）， total cholesterol （Z=-7.833， P<0.05）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C） （Z=-8.222， P<0.05）， and uric acid （UA） （Z=-20.024， P<0.05）， as well as a significantly higher proportion of patients with metabolic syndrome （MetS） （χ²=578.220， P<0.05）， significantly higher prevalence rates of hypertension （χ²=241.694， P<0.05）， type 2 diabetes （χ²=796.484， P<0.05）， and dyslipidemia （χ²=369.843， P<0.05）， and a significant reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） （Z=23.153， P<0.001）. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male sex （odds ratio ［OR］=1.45， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 1.203‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.737）， ALT （OR=1.05， 95%CI： 1.046‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.062）， LDL-C （OR=1.23， 95%CI： 1.102‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.373）， and comorbidity with MetS （OR=5.97， 95%CI： 4.876‍ ‍—‍ ‍7.316） were independently associated with MAFLD. Compared with the non-lean MAFLD group， the lean MAFLD group had significantly higher age （Z=3.736， P<0.05） and HDL-C （Z=2.679， P<0.05） and significant reductions in the proportion of male patients （χ²=28.970， P<0.05）， body weight （Z=-14.230， P<0.05）， BMI （Z=-18.188， P<0.05）， waist circumference （Z=-13.451， P<0.05）， hip circumference （Z=-13.317， P<0.05）， ALT （Z=-4.519， P<0.05）， AST （Z=-2.258， P<0.05）， GGT （Z=-4.592， P<0.05）， UA （Z=-4.415， P<0.05）， the proportion of patients with moderate or severe fatty liver disease or MetS （χ²=42.564， P<0.05）， and the prevalence rates of hypertension （χ²=12.057， P<0.05） and type 2 diabetes （χ²=3.174， P<0.05）. Among the patients with MAFLD， 10 patients （0.9%） had an FIB-4 score of >2.67， 4 patients （0.4%） had an NFS score of >0.676， 8 patients （0.7%） had an APRI of >1， and 551 patients （51.6%） had a BARD score of ≥2. ConclusionThere is a relatively high prevalence rate of MAFLD among the health check-up population in Beijing， but with a relatively low number of patients with a high risk of advanced fibrosis， and such patients need to be referred to specialized hospitals for liver diseases.

Autophagy, a highly conserved cellular degradation mechanism, maintains intracellular homeostasis by removing damaged organelles and abnormal proteins. Its dysregulation is closely associated with various diseases. Autophagy-related protein 12 (ATG12), a core member of the ubiquitin-like protein family, covalently binds to ATG5 through a ubiquitin-like conjugation system to form the ATG12-ATG5-ATG16L1 complex. This complex directly regulates the formation and maturation of autophagosomes, making ATG12 a key molecule in the initiation of autophagy. Recent studies have revealed that ATG12 functions extend far beyond the classical autophagy context. It promotes apoptosis by binding to anti-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family (e.g., Bcl-2 and Mcl-1) and enhances host antiviral immunity by regulating the NF-κB and interferon signaling pathways. Moreover, ATG12 deficiency can lead to mitochondrial biogenesis impairment, energy metabolism disorders, and substrate-dependent metabolic shifts, underscoring its pivotal role in cellular metabolic homeostasis. At the disease level, dysregulation of ATG12 expression is closely linked to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. By modulating the dynamic balance between autophagy and apoptosis, ATG12 influences cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and chemoresistance. Notably, ATG12 is abnormally overexpressed in multiple cancers, including breast, liver, and gastric cancer, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target. Furthermore, in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease, ATG12 mitigates protein toxicity by enhancing mitochondrial autophagy. In cardiovascular diseases, it alleviates ischemia-reperfusion injury by regulating cardiomyocyte autophagy and apoptosis, demonstrating its broad regulatory role across various pathological conditions. Genetic studies further underscore the clinical significance of ATG12. Polymorphisms in the ATG12 gene (e.g., rs26537 and rs26538) have been significantly associated with the risk of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and atrophic gastritis. Notably, the risk allele of rs26537 enhances ATG12 promoter activity, leading to its overexpression and promoting tumorigenesis. These findings provide a molecular basis for individualized risk assessment and targeted interventions based on ATG12 genotype. Despite significant progress, many aspects of ATG12 biology remain unclear. The precise regulatory mechanisms of its post-translational modifications (e.g., ubiquitination and acetylation) are yet to be fully elucidated. Additionally, the molecular pathways underlying its non-canonical functions, such as metabolic regulation and immune modulation, require further investigation. Moreover, the functional heterogeneity of ATG12 in different tumor microenvironments and its role in drug resistance warrant in-depth exploration. Future research should integrate advanced technologies such as cryo-electron microscopy, single-cell sequencing, and organoid models to decipher the intricate regulatory network of ATG12. Additionally, developing small-molecule inhibitors or gene-editing tools targeting its protein interaction interfaces (e.g., the ATG12-ATG3 binding domain) may help overcome current therapeutic challenges. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and clinical translation, ATG12 holds promise as a next-generation molecular target for precision intervention in autophagy-related diseases. This review summarizes the structure and function of ATG12, its role in autophagy initiation, its physiological functions, and its involvement in disease pathogenesis. Furthermore, it discusses future research directions and potential challenges, emphasizing ATG12’s potential as a biomarker and therapeutic target in autophagy-related diseases.

ResultsA total of 14 strains carrying the mcr⁃1 gene were isolated from 49 WWTP samples， and the positive isolation rate was 28.6%， including 12 non-diarrheal E. coli strains and 2 Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. The drug susceptibility results showed that all 14 strains were multi-drug resistant bacteria. They were all sensitive to imipenem and tigecycline， but were ampicillin- and cefazolin-resistant. There was no significant difference in the copy number between human-sourced diarrheal E. coli and wastewater-sourced non-diarrheal E. coli （t=0.647， P>0.05）. ConclusionThe isolation and identification of strains carrying the mcr⁃1 gene from inlet of WWTP samples were firstly established in Shanghai. The multi-drug resistance among the isolated strains is severe. To effectively prevent and control the spread of colistin-resistant bacteria， more attention should be paid to the surveillance of mcr⁃1 gene.
