This paper systematically combed and verified the name， origin， producing area， quality evaluation， harvesting， processing of Euryales Semen in famous classical formulas by consulting relevant ancient materia medica， medical books， prescription books and modern literature. The results showed that Euryales Semen was first collected by materia medica under the name of Jitoushi， and since the Ming dynasty， Qianshi has been used as a proper name and continues to this day， with other aliases such as Yanhuishi. Euryale ferox， a plant of the Nymphaeaceae family， is the same as that used in the past dynasties. However， due to long-term artificial domestication， the varieties vary with the origin， including Beiqian and Suqian. The medicinal part of Euryales Semen is mature seed kernel， its origin of ancient records mainly includes Shandong， Jiangsu， Henan and other places， since the Ming and Qing dynasties， Euryales Semen produced in Suzhou has been highly praised. Since modern times， it has gradually summarized and formed the best quality evaluation method of Euryales Semen with full grains， white cross-section， powdery enough and no broken powder. The harvesting time in the past dynasties was mainly August or in autumn. The main processing methods in the past dynasties included peeling for powder， pounding powder after steaming， drying and frying. Up to now， two mainstream processing methods of cleansing and stir-frying have been formed. Based on the research results， it is recommended that the mature seed kernel of E. ferox be used in famous classical formula Yihuangtang. Combined with the processing requirements of the original formula， it is suggested to refer to the stir-frying method in the general principles of processing of the current edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.

【Objective】 To understand the prevalence of overweight/obesity among school-age children in Pudong New Area of Shanghai, and to explore the influence of gestational weight gain and pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) on weight status of school-age children. 【Methods】 From November to December 2020,a stratified cluster sampling method was adopted to select first-grade students from 13 primary schools in Pudong New Area of Shanghai.After matching with the birth monitoring database, 755 students with complete birth information were selected as the study subjects.The relevant information of mothers before and during pregnancy was retrospectively collected, and the effects of pregnancy weight gain combined with pre-pregnancy BMI on overweight/obesity in school-age children were analyzed. 【Results】 1) The prevalence rates of overweight and obesity of first-grade children were 15.89% and 18.41%, respectively.2) Maternal excessive weight gain during pregnancy (OR=1.678) and overweight/obesity before pregnancy (OR=2.315,2.412) were risk factors for overweight/obesity of the offspring at school age(P<0.05).3) For mothers who were underweight before pregnancy, excessive weight gain during pregnancy was associated with overweight/obesity in school-age children in their offspring (OR=7.436, 95%CI: 1.489 - 37.143,P<0.05).4) Excessive weight gain during pregnancy combined with overweight/obesity before pregnancy significantly increased the risk of overweight/obesity in offspring (OR=3.606, 95%CI: 2.030 - 6.405, P<0.05). Mothers who gained a moderate amount of weight during pregnancy and were emaciated before pregnancy had a significantly lower risk of overweight/obesity in their school-age children (OR=0.217, 95%CI: 0.049 - 0.967, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Excessive weight gain during pregnancy increases the risk of overweight/obesity in school-age children in their offspring, strengthening pregnancy health education and perinatal care to help pregnant women maintain appropriate weight gain during pregnancy may be an important and novel strategy to prevent childhood obesity.

Objective:To investigate the clinical outcomes of using autologous mandibular outer cortex "sandwich" grafting to augment mandible for correcting lower facial asymmetry with normal occlusal relationships.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of patients with lower facial asymmetry treated at the Department of Plastic Surgery, the Affiliated Friendship Plastic Surgery Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, from January 2016 to December 2019. Preoperative cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans of the maxillofacial region were obtained to acquire three-dimensional data of the maxillofacial skeleton. Computer-aided design was used to determine the osteotomy range of the mandibular outer cortex and design osteotomy guide template. The outer cortex of the larger mandibular side (donor site) was harvested according to the osteotomy guide template and sectioned. The segmented mandibular outer cortex was then contoured to match the arc of the recipient side’s mandibular outer cortex and fixed to the inner side of the recipient mandibular outer cortex, thus increasing the width and thickness of the expanded mandible. Follow-up was conducted at 7th day and 6 months postoperatively, CBCT scan was performed to measure the changes in ramus height (Co-Go), mandibular body length (Go-Me), and mandibular outer cortex thickness, and volume, and the patient satisfaction with facial appearance (1 to 5 points, with higher scores indicating higher satisfaction), were assessed to evaluate surgical outcomes. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 12.0 software. Paired t-tests were used to compare patient satisfaction scores preoperatively and six months postoperatively. Repeated measurement ANOVA was used to compare Co-Go and Go-Me measurements preoperatively, 7th day, and 6 months postoperatively. If a statistically significant difference is found, further analysis using post-hoc testing(Tukey’s HSD test) will be conducted to examine the data. Results:Sixteen patients with lower facial asymmetry were included, comprising of 5 males and 11 females, aged 18 to 40 years, with an average age of 25.2 years. Surgical method included contralateral mandibular outer cortex "sandwich" grafting to the expanded mandible in 9 cases and simultaneous genioplasty in 7 cases. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 5 years, with an average follow-up of 18.6 months. All patients experienced numbness of the lower lip postoperatively, which resolved within six months, and no severe complications occurred. The symmetry of lower facial contour improved significantly and remained stable. Patient satisfaction score for facial appearance increased from (1.63±0.62) points preoperatively to (4.19±0.75) points six months postoperatively( P<0.01). The differences in Co-Go on the donor side and Go-Me on the recipient side across the three time points(preoperatively, 7th day and 6 months postoperatively) were not statistically significant(all P>0.05). However, the differences in Go-Me on the donor side and Co-Go on the recipient side across the three time points were statistically significant(all P<0.05). On the donor side, the mandibular outer cortex thickness decreased by a maximum of 6 mm on 7th day postoperatively and increased by a maximum of 2 mm at 6 months postoperatively compared to 7th day. On the recipient side, mandibular outer cortex thickness increased by a maximum of 6 mm on 7th day postoperatively and decreased by a maximum of 2 mm at six months postoperatively compared to 7th day. The volume of the mandibular outer cortex on the recipient side increased by (4 415.94±1 017.21)mm 3 at 7th day postoperatively compared to preoperatively, and decreased by (202.63±300.85)mm 3 at 6 months postoperatively. Conclusion:For lower facial asymmetrical with normal occlusal relationships and no occlusal plane deviation, contralateral mandibular outer cortex "sandwich" bone grafting can effectively increase the width and volume of the mandible on the grafted side, achieving favorable clinical outcomes.

Background::Although some well-established oncogenes are involved in cancer initiation and progression such as prostate cancer (PCa), the long tail of cancer genes remains to be defined. Goosecoid ( GSC) has been implicated in cancer development. However, the comprehensive biological role of GSC in pan-cancer, specifically in PCa, remains unexplored. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of GSC in PCa development. Methods::We performed a systematic bioinformatics exploration of GSC using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Genotype-Tissue Expression, Gene Expression Omnibus, German Cancer Research Center, and our in-house cohorts. First, we evaluated the expression of GSC and its association with patient prognosis, and identified GSC-relevant genetic alterations in cancers. Further, we focused on the clinical characterization and prognostic analysis of GSC in PCa. To understand the transcriptional regulation of GSC by E2F transcription factor 1 ( E2F1), we performed chromatin immunoprecipitation quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). Functional experiments were conducted to validate the effect of GSC on the tumor cellular phenotype and sensitivity to trametinib. Results::GSC expression was elevated in various tumors and significantly correlated with patient prognosis. The alterations of GSC contribute to the progression of various tumors especially in PCa. Patients with PCa and high GSC expression exhibited worse progression-free survival and biochemical recurrence outcomes. Further, GSC upregulation in patients with PCa was mostly accompanied with higher Gleason score, advanced tumor stage, lymph node metastasis, and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Mechanistically, the transcription factor, E2F1, stimulates GSC by binding to its promoter region. Detailed experiments further demonstrated that GSC acted as an oncogene and influenced the response of PCa cells to trametinib treatment. Conclusions::GSC was highly overexpressed and strongly correlated with patient prognosis in PCa. We found that GSC, regulated by E2F1, acted as an oncogene and impeded the therapeutic efficacy of trametinib in PCa.

Neurodegenerative diseases are a type of disease characterized by specific types of neuronal loss and progressive progression,mainly represented by Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.This type of disease,due to its intractable and irreversible symptoms,brings great physical and psychological burden to patients,which is seriously disturbing their normal life.In terms of treatment,there is currently no specific treatment for Alzheimer's disease in clinical practice,and first-line treatment drugs for Parkinson's disease also have great limitations.In traditional Chinese medicine,kidney governs bone,generates marrow,and connects to the brain.In clinical evidence typing,premature aging,fatigue and forgetfulness,and tremor of limbs caused by kidney deficiency and medullary reduction are considered to be the main pathologies of these diseases.Di-Huang-Yin-Zi decoction which is derived from the"General Records of Holy Universal Relief",is recorded as a good formula for nourishing kidney yin and filling kidney yang.Clinical data shows that this formula has significant therapeutic effects in treating neurodegenerative diseases caused by kidney essence deficiency.Modern research results indicate that its mechanism of action involves inhibiting inflammatory reactions,regulating mitochondrial autophagy,reversing The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis abnormalities,and neuroprotection.The main effective ingredients in this formula include loganin,echinarin,and schisandrin A.This article aims to summarize and analyze the clinical efficacy,mechanism of action,and active ingredients of Di-Huang-Yin-Zi decoction in the treatment of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease in recent years,in order to clarify the research status of Di-Huang-Yin-Zi decoction in the neurodegenerative disease and provide reference for further research.

Objective To evaluate the cost-utility of tiotropium/olodaterol in treating Chinese patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and to provide references for selecting more economical inhaled preparations in clinical practice.Methods A four-state lifetime Markov model was established with a 3-month cycle.The health outcomes included life years and quality-adjusted life years.Costs,including direct medical costs,were calculated from the perspective of the Chinese health system.Discontinuation rates were derived from the discontinuation curve using GetData Graph Digitizer.The main output indicator of the model was the incremental cost-utility ratio,which was calculated from the queue simulation results to judge the economy of tiotropium bromide/odataterol.The scenario analysis and sensitivity analyses were carried out to detect the robustness of the base case result.Results Compared with tiotropium bromide,the patient treated with tiotropium bromide/odataterol gained an additional 0.0846 life years,an additional cost of ￥3 201.50,and additional 0.029 6 QALY.The incremental cost-utility ratio was 108 140.11 yuan/QALY,lower than the willingness-to-pay threshold of three times China's per capita GDP in 2021.The costs of tiotropium bromide and tiotropium bromide/odataterol had the greatest impact on the result in the one-way sensitivity analysis.93.8%of the Chinese COPD population was willing to pay for tiotropium bromide/odataterol under the threshold in the probability sensitivity analysis.Conclusion Tiotropium/olodaterol is a cost-effective alternative compared to tiotropium for patients with moderate to very severe COPD in China and the results were robust in the sensitivity analyses.

This study analyzed and compared the epidemiological characteristics of foodborne listeriosis in the United States and China,to provide evidence for optimizing the listeriosis surveillance program in China.Descriptive statistical analysis was performed on the listeriosis monitoring data from 2009 to 2021 registered in the FDOSS system and the attribution estimates of Listeria monocytogenes(L.monocytogenes)from 2013 to 2021 published by IFSAC.Sporadic and outbreak data on listeriosis in China from the CNKI,Wanfang Medical,and CQVIP databases were collected.From 2009 to 2021,a total of 1 037 listeriosis cases were reported in the United States,including 902 hospitalizations and 165 deaths.The peak of cases caused by Lm con-taminated food was in July.The number of cases,hospitalizations,and deaths accounted for 18.4％(191/1 037),20.5％(185/902),and 22.4％(37/165)of the total,respectively.Most listeriosis outbreaks were attributed to three food groups:dairy products,vegetable crops,and fruits,with attribution percentages ranging from 73.8％to 89.6％.The overall incidence of list-eriosis in China was not high:619 cases were reported from 2009 to 2021,and only 177 cases were recorded in detailed inci-dence years;the maximum number of cases in 2018 was 26.A total of 220 cases were reported with detailed onset months;the highest number of cases in April was 30.Data on listeriosis cases in China are incomplete and sporadic,and only seven cases have been successfully traced to food.Listeriosis surveillance systems in the United States are relatively complete,and there are more foodborne outbreaks.Dairy products,vegetable row crops,and fruits are the most likely causes of disease outbreaks.Although only sporadic cases have been reported in China,China should take actions such as gradually improving multi-department coop-eration mechanisms,achieving data sharing and deepening data mining,and accelerating progress in the detection technology of food-borne pathogenic microorganisms,to ensure food safety and public health.

Objective:To analyze the effects of highdose methotrexate(HD-MTX)and lenalidomide as central nervous system(CNS)prophylaxis strategies in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL).Methods:The data of DLBCL patients with high risk of CNS recurrence who were initially treated in Fujian Provincial Hospital and Fujian Cancer Hospital from January 2012 to June 2022 were analyzed retrospectively.The patients were divided into HD-MTX group and lenalidomide group according to different prophylaxis strategies.Each group was further divided into high-risk group and medium-risk group based on CNS-IPI score and/or testicular involvement.The CNS relapse-free survival(CRFS)rate,adverse effects,and the effects of different prophylaxis strategies on overall survival(OS)rate and progression-free survival(PFS)rate were evaluated in different groups and subgroups.Results:There were 200 patients enrolled in this study,80 cases in lenalidomide group and 120 cases in HD-MTX group.According to the delivery timing of prophylactic HD-MTX,the patients in HD-MTX group were further divided into two groups:80 cases at the end of induction chemotherapy and 40 cases during chemotherapy interval.At a median follow-up of 48(14-133)months,the 4-year CRFS rate,4-year PFS rate,and 4-year OS rate of the HD-MTX group was 93.6％,57.2％,and 68.8％,respectively,while that of the lenalidomide group was 90.4％,69.4％and 75.6％.There were no significant differences in 4-year CRFS rate,4-year PFS rate,and 4-year OS rate between HD-MTX group and lenalidomide group(all P＞0.05),but lenalidomide group showed a trend of improvement in PFS.Further subgroup analysis showed that there was no significant difference in 4-year CRFS rate between high-risk patients of the two groups(91.7％vs 83.4％,P＞0.05),while 4-year PFS rate showed difference(49.5％vs 64.2％,P＜0.05).A total of 248 cycles were collected for adverse reaction analysis in the HD-MTX group,and 25 cycles occurred neutropenia accompanied with infection(10.1％),while in lenalidomide group 240 cycles were collected in which 20 cycles occurred neutropenia accompanied with infection(8.3％).Both the two groups had no treatment-related deaths.Conclusion:Compared with HD-MTX,lenalidomide combined with immunochemotherapy can prevent CNS relapse,at the same time,improve prognosis,which is a safe and well tolerated central prophylaxis strategy.
