Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease involving multiple cells and cellular components， characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing， shortness of breath， chest tightness， and coughing， significantly impacting patients' quality of life. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway， as a crucial hub in intracellular signaling， is widely involved in the regulation of cell growth， proliferation， survival， metabolism， and a series of pathophysiological processes. Its regulatory role in the pathological progression of asthma is particularly significant， specifically in promoting airway inflammation， mediating epithelial mesenchymal transition， accelerating airway remodeling， regulating cell autophagy， inducing mucus hypersecretion， and influencing immune response balance. This study analyzed potential molecular targets of the PI3K/Akt pathway， including activators such as cysteine proteinase inhibitor 1（CST1）， found in inflammatory zone 1（FIZZ1） and free fatty acid receptor 1（FFAR1）， and inhibitors such as human β-defensin-3（hBD-3）， disintegrins， metalloproteinase 33（ADAM33） and interleukin-27（IL-27）， and initially revealed the potential molecular mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） in asthma intervention. Based on this， the authors systematically summarized the efficacy and specific mechanisms of TCM monomers， compounds， and external treatments for asthma by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway through literature review and analysis， aiming at establishing a robust foundation for the wide application and advanced development of TCM in asthma treatment， offering innovative insights for clinical research and drug development of asthma.

OBJECTIVE To explore the regulatory effects of Buqi tongqiao formula on intestinal flora and immune balance in immunoglobulin A nephropathy （IgAN） rats based on the theory of “treating different diseases with the same therapy”. METHODS Male SD rats were randomly assigned to the Normal group and the modeling group. IgAN rat models were established in the modeling group by intragastric administration of bovine serum albumin， subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride and castor oil mixture， and tail vein injection of lipopolysaccharide. Successfully modeled rats were then randomly divided into the model group （Model group）， Buqi tongqiao formula low-dose group （BQTQ-L group）， Buqi tongqiao formula high-dose group （BQTQ- H group）， and positive control group （BZP group）， with 15 rats in each group. BZP group received intragastric administration of benazepril hydrochloride （10 mg/kg）， while BQTQ-L and BQTQ-H groups were given Buqi tongqiao formula at doses of 9.81 and 19.62 g/kg （calculated as raw herb weight）， respectively. The Normal group and the Model group received an equal volume of normal saline intragastrically， once a day， for 8 consecutive weeks. The 24-hour urinary total protein （24 h UTP） contents were measured at weeks 8， 10， 12， 14 and 16 of the experiment. After the last administration， serum creatinine （Scr） and blood urea nitrogen （BUN） contents were detected. Renal histopathological changes and glomerular IgA immune complex deposition were examined. Additionally， alterations in gut microbiota composition， the proportions of peripheral T helper cell 17 （Th17） and regulatory T cell （Treg）， as well as the ratio of Th17 and Treg （Th17/Treg）， were analyzed across all groups. RESULTS Compared with the Model group， rats in both BQTQ-L and BQTQ-H groups showed alleviated mesangial cell hyperplasia， reduced matrix expansion， and decreased IgA immune complex deposition in the glomeruli. The 24 h UTP contents （at weeks 14 and 16 in the BQTQ-L group； at weeks 12， 14 and 16 in the BQTQ-H group）， Scr and BUN contents， IgA-positive area fluorescence intensities， relative abundances of Firmicutes， Th17 cell proportions， and Th17/Treg were significantly decreased in both BQTQ-L and BQTQ-H groups （P＜0.05）； while the Chao1， Observed species， Shannon， and Simpson （except for BQTQ-H group） indexes， the relative abundances of Bacteroidota， and the proportions of Treg were significantly increased （P＜0.05）. Differential microbiota included c_Clostridia （BQTQ-L group vs. Model group） and g_Ruminococcus （BQTQ-H group vs. Model group）， etc. CONCLUSIONS Buqi tongqiao formula may alleviate renal injury and exert a renal protective effect in IgAN rats by modulating intestinal flora homeostasis and Th17/Treg immune balance.

Objective: To learn anxiety and depression status in junior high school students with myopia in Zhoushan and their influencing factors,so as to provide reference for vision care and mental health intervention. Methods: A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select students from two junior high school in Zhoushan. A self-designed questionnaire,self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) were employed to collect the demographic information,and to evaluate anxiety and depression status.The logistic regression analysis was used to select the influencing factors for anxiety and depression in myopia students. Results : A total of 775 questionnaires were sent out and 766 valid ones were recovered,with an response rate of 98.84%. There were 662 students with myopia.The rates of anxiety,depression and the two combined in myopic students were 22.36%,25.38% and 14.35%,respectively.The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for anxiety of myopic students were females (OR=1.514,95%CI:1.054-2.183),the third grade (OR=2.246,95%CI:1.408-3.619),high myopia (OR=1.839,95%CI:1.126-3.017) and wearing glasses for two years or above (OR=2.504,95%CI:1.464-4.306); the risk factors for depression were females (OR=1.182,95%CI:1.253-2.536),above average of school record (OR:1.614-2.026,95%CI:1.034-3.153),high myopia (OR=2.284,95%CI:1.513-3.436) and wearing glasses for two years or above (OR=4.602,95%CI:2.035-10.372). Conclusions The prevalence rates of anxiety and depression are higher in junior high school students with myopia in Zhoushan. The students who are females,are in the third grade,have above average of school record,have high myopia and wearing glasses for two years or above are more likely to suffer from anxiety or depression.

Objective To explore the optimal concentration of heparin sodium solution, which to seal up intravenous indwelling needle, in patients with Ⅳ thrombocytopenia. Methods A total of 90 patients withⅣthrombocytopenia who required intravenous indwelling needle were randomly divided into three groups which namely A, B and C groups with 30 cases each. A group was sealed up the tube of intravenous indwelling needle with 1 ml heparin sodium solution of 6.25 U/ml, B group with 12.50 U/ml and C group with 25.00 U/ml. The change of the platelet count, plasma prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), plasma fibrinogen (Fbg) after extubation were observed in three groups and the incidence of blocking up and retention time were compared among three groups. Results The change of the platelet count, PT, APTT, Fbg were showed no statistical significance among three groups (P>0.05). The incidence of blocking up was 66.7%(22/30) in A group , 43.3%(13/30) in B group and 16.7%(5/30) in C group. They were showed statistical significance (χ2=15.000, P < 0.01). Retention time of tube above or equal to 3 days were observed respectively 13 person (43.3%,13/30) in A group, 21 cases(70.0%, 21/30) in B group, 25 patients(83.3%, 25/30) in C group. All above were showed statistical significance (χ2=11.000, P<0.01). Conclusions Heparin sodium 25.00 U/ml sealing up the tube of intravenous indwelling needle is safe in patient with Ⅳthrombocytopenia, which will reduce the ration of blocking tube and extend the life of tube.

In order to explore the role of p15(INK4B) gene with highly methylated CpG island in the pathogenesis of leukemia, the expression levels of p15(INK4B) gene was detected in patients with AML and CML. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP) assay was employed in the experiments. The methylation incidence was 83.9% (26/31) in AML and 0% (0/28) in CML. The results showed that methylation of p15(INK4B) gene was the one of the major ways for inactivation of the gene, and the methylation could be appeared in clinical development of the disease and patients condition worsened. Methylation of p15(INK4B) did not occur and its function probably is normal in CML.
