After continuous development and improvement, lung transplantation has become the preferred means to treat a variety of benign end-stage lung diseases. However, the field of lung transplantation still faces many challenges, including shortage of donor resources, preservation and maintenance of donor lungs, and postoperative complications. Lung tissue samples removed after lung transplantation are excellent clinical resources for the study of benign end-stage lung disease and perioperative complications of lung transplantation. However, at present, the collection, storage and utilization of tissue samples after lung transplantation are limited to a single study, and unified technical specifications have not been formed. Based on the construction plan of the biobank for lung transplantation in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University, this study reviewed the practical experience in the collection, storage and utilization of lung transplant tissue samples in the aspects of ethical review, staffing, collection process, storage method, quality control and efficient utilization, in order to provide references for lung transplant related research.

OBJECTIVE:Although wearable electronic devices have demonstrated potential utility as intervention tools to enhance physical activity,comprehensive evaluations of their specific effects on the healthy adolescent population remain scarce.Consequently,this article aims to systematically explore and summarize the impact of interventions based on wearable electronic devices on the physical activity and sedentary behavior of healthy adolescents,thereby providing more precise and reliable evidence-based support for public health practices. METHODS:Randomized controlled trials assessing the effects of wearable electronic device-based interventions on the physical activity and sedentary behavior of healthy adolescents were retrieved from databases including Web of Science,PubMed,Scopus,The Cochrane Library,and EBSCO.Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4 and Stata 17,evaluating the effects of interventions on physical activity and sedentary behavior through the standardized mean difference.To ensure the robustness of the research findings,a Leave-One-Out sensitivity analysis was conducted,and subgroup analyses were carried out to explore the potential influence of different factors on the results.The review protocol was registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews(CRD42023406645). RESULTS:(1)Twelve publications were ultimately included,consisting of three randomized controlled trials and nine cluster-randomized controlled trials,involving a total of 4 933 healthy adolescents.(2)Meta-analysis results revealed that interventions based on wearable electronic devices had a positive effect on moderate to vigorous physical activity[standardized mean difference(SMD)=0.10;95%confidence interval(CI):0.04 to 0.17;P<0.05).However,the interventions did not significantly improve low-intensity physical activity(SMD=-0.15;95%CI:-0.32 to 0.02;P>0.05),daily step count(SMD=0.13;95%CI:-0.65 to 0.91;P>0.05),and sedentary behavior(SMD=0.00;95%CI:-0.09 to 0.09;P>0.05).(3)Subgroup analyses indicated that short-term interventions(≤12 weeks)(SMD=0.11;95%CI:0.03 to 0.18;P=0.008),studies using pedometers worn at the waist or hip(SMD=0.10;95%CI:0.04 to 0.17;P=0.002),and experiments registered at clinical trial centers(SMD=0.11;95%CI:0.04 to 0.17;P=0.001)had a more significant effect on enhancing daily moderate to vigorous physical activity. CONCLUSION:The current evidence suggests that interventions based on wearable electronic devices possess certain advantages in enhancing the daily moderate-to-vigorous physical activity of healthy adolescents.It is recommended that interventions not exceeding 12 weeks and utilizing pedometers positioned at the waist or hip may yield more favorable results.However,the effects of these interventions on daily step count,low-intensity physical activity,and sedentary behavior exhibit some limitations.Consequently,future investigations necessitate higher-quality,larger-scale randomized controlled trials for further validation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical features and prognosis of neuro-Beh?et′s syndrome (NBS) in children.Method:The clinical, brain magnetic resonance imaging and laboratory data of 5 children with NBS diagnosed in the Department of Pediatrics, General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University and Department of Rheumatology and Immunology, Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from April 2014 to April 2024 were analyzed retrospectively. The follow-up method was retrospective outpatient or inpatient visit to evaluate the treatment effect of NBS.Result:Among the 5 NBS cases, 2 were male and 3 were female. The age of admission ranged from 8 to 17 years, the time from onset to diagnosis was 2 days to 4 years. Two patients had dizziness, headache and convulsions during the treatment of NBS, 1 patient had disturbance of consciousness, 1 patient gradually developed aphasia, limb movement disorder, dysphagia and muscle weakness after 4 years of Behcet's syndrome, and 1 patient had no clinical symptoms. C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were increased in 4 cases, and cerebrospinal fluid white blood cells and immunoglobulin G were increased in 1 case. Brain magnetic resonance imaging of 4 children showed multiple lesions, including bilateral frontal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, periventricular and corpus callosum lesions. Brain magnetic resonance imaging showed multiple demyelinating diseases in 1 case, and cervical and thoracic magnetic resonance imaging showed slender cervical and thoracic spinal cord. All patients were treated with corticosteroids combined with immunosuppressants or biological agents. The children were followed up for 6 months to 4 years, and 4 cases had good treatment results, and 1 case finally gave up treatment.Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of NBS are not specific, and brain magnetic resonance imaging shows that the lesion location and morphology are not specific. NBS children treated with corticosteroids combined with immunosuppressive agents or biological agents have a good prognosis.

Chronic heart failure (CHF) is the terminal stage of various heart diseases, with high morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization rate. According to the theory of collateral diseases, the core pathogenesis of CHF is blood stasis of collaterals, water retention and stagnation, and pathogen accumulation in collaterals. Accordingly, the treatment should focus on reinforcing healthy Qi to warm Yang, activating blood to dredge collaterals, and excreting water to alleviate edema. On this basis, Qili Qiangxin capsules (QLQX) are created. This prescription can effectively treat chronic heart failure. Modern studies have shown that QLQX contains a variety of pharmacological components such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, phenolic acids, and cardiac glycosides. QLQX can improve the cardiac function, inhibit myocardial fibrosis, improve hemodynamics, mitigate inflammation, reduce cardiomyocyte apoptosis, and regulate the nervous system, with mild adverse reactions. This study analyzed the etiology and pathogenesis of CHF based on the theory of collateral diseases, explored the relationship between the prescription and syndrome, and delved into the material basis and mechanism of QLQX in the treatment of CHF, aiming to provide reference for the clinical application and scientific research of QLQX.

This paper summarizes Professor SHI Zaixiang's clinical experience in treating high fever caused by sepsis using Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction (柴胡桂枝干姜汤). He holds that the key pathogenesis of sepsis involves constrained heat in the shaoyang and internal accumulation of water and fluids. The clinical manifestations such as high fever, chills, and alternating sensations of cold and heat are attributed to pathogenic heat constrained in the shaoyang. Meanwhile, soft tissue edema and serous cavity effusions are due to shaoyang dysfunction and internal water retention. In clinical practice, treating sepsis-related high fever requires addressing both the shaoyang-constrained heat and the associated edema and effusions. The therapeutic approach focuses on harmonizing the shaoyang and resolving internal fluids, using Chaihu Guizhi Ganjiang Decoction as the base formula with flexible modifications. Professor SHI emphasizes that this formula shows a rapid antipyretic effect, particularly in cases where multiple anti-infective treatments have failed.

OBJECTIVE To provide references for further improving the management level of Chinese herbal pieces covered by the healthcare security drug catalog (hereinafter referred to as “healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces”). METHODS Policy documents related to healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces were retrieved from official websites of National Healthcare Security Administration and medical insurance bureaus of various provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government). Using text analysis, the current management status of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces in various provinces was analyzed from two dimensions: management regulations and catalog formats. RESULTS In terms of the management regulations for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces implemented both national and provincial standards for Chinese herbal pieces, while a small number of provinces adopted national standards alongside their own provincial standards. Regarding the payment categories of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, most were classified as category A, though some provinces managed them as category B, and others included both categories A and B or category C. In terms of applicants, there were three kinds: only medical institutions, only herbal piece enterprises, or both medical institutions and herbal piece enterprises being allowed to apply. During the application process, some provinces required preliminary evaluations by local healthcare security departments with recommended lists submitted, while some provinces omitted preliminary evaluations and relied solely on unified evaluation by provincial healthcare security departments. Regarding the methods for catalog formulation and adjustment, there was little variation among the provinces. In terms of the catalog format for healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces, some provinces had supplemented the catalog fields based on the national medical insurance catalog. In contrast, some provinces had relatively simple catalogs. Regarding the sorting of the herbal pieces catalog, some catalogs were arranged by the number of Chinese character strokes in the names of the herbal pieces, but most catalogs lacked clear sorting rules. CONCLUSIONS Significant resultshave been achieved in formulating management measures and the catalog of healthcare security covered Chinese herbal pieces. However, there is still a great necessity to develop targeted and adaptable management clauses based on local conditions and the characteristics of Chinese herbal pieces. The content and format of healthcare security drug catalog of Chinese herbal pieces should be improved; in addition, continuous tracking of the latest management policies is also essential to improve the accuracy and operability of formulated catalog.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) induced by glucagon- like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs), and to provide a reference for safe clinical medication. METHODS Using search terms such as “GLP-1”“GLP-1RAs”“semaglutide” “drug-induced liver injury”, relevant studies from PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP were retrieved. Descriptive analysis was performed on cases of DILI induced by GLP-1RAs. RESULTS A total of 11 studies, comprising 11 patients, were included. Among them, 4 were male (36.4%) and 7 were female (63.6%). Patient ages ranged from 17 to 64 years; 5 patients (45.5%) were between 50 and 65 years old. Six patients were treated for diabetes, and five for weight loss. Ten patients had underlying diseases. The shortest time to the onset of DILI was 5 days after medication, while the longest was approximately 180 days. The DILIs induced by GLP-1RAs were mainly hepatocellular injury type (6 cases); severity levels included severe (3 cases), moderate (6 cases), and mild (2 cases). Gastrointestinal symptoms and jaundice were the most common clinical manifestations. The association between DILI and GLP- 1RAs was assessed as “probable” in 10 cases and “possible” in 1 case. All 11 patients improved after drug discontinuation and (or) corresponding treatment. CONCLUSIONS DILI induced by GLP-1RAs is relatively concentrated in patients aged 50-65, with a higher incidence in females. The risk may be further increased in patients with underlying diseases. Clinical use of these agents should enhance pharmaceutical care, including identification of high-risk populations and patient education (especially symptom recognition). When relevant symptoms appear, the drug should be discontinued immediately, with liver-protective therapy initiated when necessary, to ensure patient safety of drug use.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(1):66-71
Objective:
To understand current situation epidemiology and associated factors of suicidal ideation among high school students in Yixing, so as to provide basis for targeted intervention.
Methods:
From March to May 2019, a questionnaire survey was conducted on 12 799 students from 3 junior high schools and 4 senior high schools in Yixing City, Jiangsu Province, using a stratified cluster random sampling method. Latent profile analysis was used to classify suicidal ideation among high school students, the chi square test was used to compare the differences in suicidal ideation among different characteristics of students, multiple Logistic regression was used to analyze influencing factors, a risk predictive nomogram model was constructed and then verified.
Results:
Three latent classes of suicidal ideation among high school students was divided into three categories were observed: none or mild, moderate, and severe. Among them, 3 034 (23.7%) had moderate suicidal ideation and 753 (5.9%) had severe suicidal ideation. The Logistic regression results showed that gender was female, academic performance was lower midrange, smoking, drinking, popularity with classmates(less popular and unpopularity), family member relationships(general/occasional contradictions/contradictions), trust in others(more trusted/less trusted/less trusted at all), past or current relationships, physical bullying, relationship bullying, verbal bullying, and sexual bullying were the influencing factors for severe suicidal ideation among students ( OR =3.27; 2.18 ;1.63;1.72;2.66, 6.05;3.00,3.29, 6.38;1.71, 6.04, 12.48; 2.50; 1.59; 2.16; 1.45; 1.63, P <0.05). The nomogram prediction model had good discrimination.
Conclusions
Suicide ideation is influenced by multiple factors. Family and peer situations, as well as being bullied, are all related to the degree the severity of suicidal ideation. Efforts can be made to improve students family and interpersonal relationships, control bullying, then reduce their suicidal ideation which might help prevent suicide ideation among students.

Chinese Journal of School Health 2024;45(4):488-491
Objective:
To understand anxiety symptoms among medical college students and their relationship with social ecological risk factors, so as to provide reference for mental health promotion among medical students.
Methods:
From September to October 2021, a convenient cluster sampling method was used to include 1 274 freshmen to senior students of a medical school in Taiyuan City, and the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 and adolescent social ecological risk factors assessment questionnaire were used. Multivariate binary Logistic regression was used to analyze the association between anxiety symptoms and social ecological risk factors among medical students.
Results:
The overall detection rate of anxiety symptoms among medical students was 16.2%. The rate of anxiety varied significantly by grade (freshman: 19.9%, sophomore: 13.0%, junior: 14.0%, senior: 18.9% ) and number of friends (≤2: 22.8%, 3-5: 14.4%, ≥6: 11.8%) ( χ 2=8.70, 16.34, P <0.05). Spearman correlation analysis showed that individual, family, school, community, policy, culture, time, and total score in socio ecological risk factors were positively associated with anxiety symptom scores at different levels of risk ( r=0.33, 0.25, 0.32, 0.16, 0.15, 0.16, 0.16, 0.35, P <0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that high risk for personal dimension of the socio ecological risk factors was positively associated with rate of anxiety symptoms among medical students ( OR=3.32, 95%CI =1.66-6.61), and remained positively associated ( OR=2.98, 95%CI =1.49-5.94) after adjusting for grade and number of friends ( P <0.01).
Conclusions
Exposure to high personal dimensions of socio ecological risk factors increases the risk of developing anxiety symptoms among medical students. A focus should be placed on the personal factors associated with anxiety to promote medical students mental health.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether elemene(ELE) enhances the anti-glioma efficacy of cabazitaxel(CTX), and prepare a double-targeted cationic liposome(LIP) co-loaded with ELE/CTX for the treatment of glioma, and to achieve the effect of increasing the efficacy and reducing the adverse reactions. Pharmacodynamic tests in vitro were performed to explore the advantages and mechanism of its preparation. MethodELE/CTX@LIP was prepared by high speed shear combined with probe ultrasound, the particle size and potential were characterized by nano-particle size potentiometer, and high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was used to determine the encapsulation efficiency and drug loading capacity of CTX/ELE. The cytotoxicity of ELE/CTX in vitro was detected by cell proliferation and activity assay(CCK8). JMP Pro 16 software was used to optimize the process parameters of ELE/CTX@LIP based on encapsulation efficiency. The optimal cationic material type, content and ratio were screened by in vitro cytotoxicity and in vitro cell uptake, on this basis, the dual-targeted cationic liposome T7/arginine glycine aspartate tripeptide sequence(T7/cRGD)-ELE/CTX@CLIP was prepared, the stability of morphology and particle size were characterized, and the effect of T7/cRGD-ELE/CTX@CLIP on the apoptosis inducing ability and cell cycle regulation ability of glioma cells was analyzed by cell cycle and apoptosis. ResultELE/CTX showed stronger anti-glioma activity on C6 and RG2 cells. The results of in vitro cytotoxicity and in vitro cell uptake showed that the amount of cationic material was 0.10% of the total content. The optimum ratio of T7, cRGD and phospholipids was 1∶1∶50. T7/cRGD-ELE/CTX@CLIP[1,2-dilinoleyloxy-3-dimethylaminopropane(Dlin-MC3-DMA)] and T7/cRGD-ELE/CTX@CLIP[1,2-dimyristoyl-rac-glycero-3-methoxypolyethylene glycol 2000(DMG-PEG2000)] showed multi-level spherical nanostructures with particle sizes of 146.0, 111.3 nm, respectively, and were stable in serum. In vitro cytotoxicity results showed that T7/cRGD-ELE/CTX@CLIP had higher cytotoxicity to glioma cells than single-targeted liposomes or dual-targeted non-cationic liposomes. T7/crGD-ELE/CTX@CLIP affected the apoptosis and cycle of glioma cells, the results showed that ELE/CTX combined with liposomes could more effectively activate the apoptosis channel and inhibit the proliferation of glioma cells, and the use of T7/cRGD short peptide and cation modification enhanced the ability of apoptosis induction. ELE/CTX could effectively block glioma cell cycle at G2/M phase, and the effect was enhanced after T7/cRGD targeted modification. ConclusionELE can enhance the anti-glioma effect of CTX. The preparation parameters of ELE/CTX@LIP are stable and feasible. Combined with the in vitro efficacy test, the anti-glioma mechanism of T7/cRGD-ELE/CTX@CLIP is preliminarily revealed.
