ObjectiveTo establish a geographical origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan, providing a new technical reference for the protection of Haiyuan's geo-authentic medicinal materials and its designation as a national geographical indication agricultural product. MethodsSamples of Foeniculi Fructus were collected from eight producing areas, including Minqin (Gansu), Bozhou (Anhui), Qingdao (Shandong), Dezhou (Shandong), Urumqi (Xinjiang), Nujiang (Yunnan), Gutuo (Inner Mongolia), and Haiyuan (Ningxia). Gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) was used to detect the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in samples from these geographic origins. VOCs were qualitatively analyzed through dual matching with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) mass spectral database and the IMS drift time database. Using the Reporter module and Gallery Plot visualization tools within the LAV analytical platform, VOC fingerprint profiles characterizing geographic origins were constructed. A non-targeted analytical strategy was adopted, and 97 VOCs detected via GC-IMS were subjected to principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) based on their differential distribution patterns to construct an origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan region. Key discriminative markers were screened using variable importance in projection (VIP) values greater than 1. ResultsA total of 97 VOCs were identified, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, organic acids, terpenoids, ethers, alkenes, and benzenes. The PLS-DA model, based on VOCs data obtained by GC-IMS, effectively distinguished Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from those of other origins. During cross-validation, the model achieved a prediction parameter (Q2) of 0.976 and a goodness-of-fit parameter (R2) of 0.936, with no overfitting observed in permutation testing. Twelve key flavor markers with VIP > 1 were identified as characteristic indicators of Haiyuan origin. ConclusionA stable and highly predictive origin identification model for Foeniculi Fructus from Haiyuan was successfully established using GC-IMS technology, PLS-DA, and VIP-based marker screening. This model provides a novel technical strategy for accurately distinguishing Foeniculi Fructus in Haiyuan region from other regional varieties and offers new technical support for its protection as a geo-authentic medicinal material and a nationally designated geographical indication agricultural product in China.

This article reviews relevant literature on the prevention and treatment of cancer with hesperidin published in the past 10 years by searching electronic databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI), Wanfang, and PubMed, and summarizes the research progress on the anticancer mechanism of hesperidin. Hesperidin has a wide range of pharmacological effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, anticancer, immune-regulatory, anti-radiation, neuroprotective and cardiovascular protective properties and so on. Its anticancer mechanisms mainly include inhibiting cancer cell proliferation, promoting apoptosis, reducing angiogenesis, inhibiting invasion and migration of cancer cells, regulating immunity and autophagy, and exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. As a broad-spectrum anticancer drug, hesperidin manifests chemo-preventive and therapeutic effects across various cancers, contingent upon its multifaceted anticancer mechanisms. Furthermore, this article summarizes the synergistic effects of hesperidin in combination with cisplatin, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide and paclitaxel. It elucidates that hesperidin can enhance the cytotoxicity of these anticancer drugs against cancer cells while mitigating drug resistance and adverse side effects. Nonetheless, the clinical use is somewhat constrained due to its poor water solubility and limited bioavailability. Therefore, this article also outlines the current strategies for enhancing hesperidin's bioavailability, including structural modification, combination with other chemical substances, and utilization of nano drug carriers.The discovery of derivatives of hesperidin not only preserves the anticancer efficacy of hesperidin, but also effectively overcomes the shortcomings of poor water solubility and low bioavailability of hesperidin, effectively predicting the good application prospects of hesperidin and its derivatives.

Pancreatic cancer induced by mutation KRAS exhibited a higher risk of incidence, recurrence and mortality. C-Myc is downstream of KRAS and can be involved in the regulation of multiple oncogenic pathways and signaling pathways in pancreatic cancer. Over expressing of C-Myc promotes glycolysis and glutamine uptake in pancreatic cancer cells, promotes cell metabolism and proliferation, is an important factor driving the progress and maintenance of pancreatic cancer, and is related to chemotherapy and immunotherapy drug resistance. C-Myc also interacts with cell cyclin-dependent kinase(CDK) and non-coding RNA to regulate the proliferation, development and metastasis of pancreatic cancer. Therefore, targeting C-Myc was regarded as an effective strategy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. The activation of C-Myc depends on heterodimerization with its partner MAX and thereby paly a role through binding to the canonical E-Box sequence 5’-CACGTG-3’. Researches showed direct targeting of C-Myc can inhibit the growth of pancreatic carcinoma,such as promoting the degradation of C-Myc, inhibiting the binding of C-Myc/MAX and blocking the binding of C-Myc/MAX to E-box. However, direct targeting has been proved challenging because of its special protein structure. Indirect targeting of C-Myc provided a new strategy for the treatment of pancreatic cancer. C-Myc can be indirected targeting through inhibiting transcription and translation of C-Myc, C-Myc-MAX heterodimerization and promote the ubiquitination and degradation of C-Myc, thus affects the occurrence, development and metastasis of pancreatic cancer.

Objective:To investigate the epidemiology of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection in patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) in Jiangsu province during SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in China from December 7, 2022 to January 27, 2023, and to analyze the influencing factors of all-cause death.Methods:It was a multi-center cross-sectional investigation. Structured questionnaire was used to collect patient information by medical staff of each hemodialysis center (room) as investigators. Part of the demography data and laboratory examination data came from the Jiangsu Province Hemodialysis Data Information System. MHD patients from hemodialysis centers (rooms) at all levels of medical institutions and independent hemodialysis institutions in Jiangsu province during the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 infection were included, and the clinical characteristics and all-cause mortality of confirmed and suspected cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection were analyzed.Results:Questionnaire surveys and data analysis on 57 278 patients in 407 hemodialysis centers (rooms) were completed, accounting for 90.41% of the total number of MHD patients (63 357 cases) in Jiangsu province during the same period. There were 24 038 cases (41.97%) of SARS-CoV-2 infection and 14 805 cases (25.85%) of suspected infection, which were widely distributed in all dialysis centers in Jiangsu province. After clinical classification of 38 843 confirmed and suspected SARS-CoV-2 infection cases, 3 662 cases were severe and critical cases, accounting for 9.43% of the infected and suspected cases. Among the patients who had completed the questionnaires, there were 1 812 all-cause deaths, with an all-cause mortality rate of 3.16%. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elderly (taking ≤50 years as a reference, 51-59 years: OR=1.583, 95% CI 1.279-1.933, P=0.001; 60-69 years: OR=3.972, 95% CI 3.271-4.858, P<0.001; 70-79 years: OR=7.236, 95% CI 5.917-8.698, P<0.001; ≥80 years: OR=11.738, 95% CI 9.459-14.663, P<0.001), male ( OR=1.371, 95% CI 1.229-1.529, P<0.001), and co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) (positive serum HBV surface antigen, OR=0.629, 95% CI 0.484-0.817, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for all cause mortality. Receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for male, age and current HBV infection prediction of all-cause death was 0.529 ( P<0.001), 0.724 ( P<0.001) and 0.514 ( P=0.042), respectively, and the cut-off value for age prediction of all-cause death was 65.5 years old. Compared with patients without HBV infection, MHD patients with HBV infection significantly reduced the proportion of severe and critically ill patients, all-cause hospitalizations and all cause deaths when infected with SARS-CoV-2 (4.99% vs. 6.41%, χ2=6.136, P=0.013; 8.90% vs. 11.44%, χ2=11.662, P<0.001; 2.01% vs. 3.37%, χ2=10.713, P=0.001, respectively). Conclusion:The MHD patients in Jiangsu province are susceptible to SARS-CoV-2. Elderly age and male gender are independent risk factors for death in MHD patients during the epidemic, while the HBV infection may be a protective factor for death of MHD patients infected with SARS-CoV-2.

Objective:To analyze the current situation of health education among medical staff at all levels of hospitals in Beijing, for references in improving the level of hospital health education.Methods:From July to November 2022, a stratified random sampling method was used to select medical staff from hospitals at all levels in Beijing as the survey subjects. A self-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the frequency of health education conducted by medical staff in six dimensions. The Likert 5-level scoring method was used to assign scores to the frequency of health education, and latent profile analysis was conducted on each score to explore the categories of health education conducted by medical staff.Results:2 792 questionnaires were effectively collected, among which 2 792 medical staff were surveyed, including 1 009 doctors, 1 609 nurses, and 174 technicians and pharmacists. The scores for the frequency of health education conducted in six dimensions: health education in the media or outside the hospital, health knowledge lectures in the hospital, outpatient health education, inpatient health education, health education during follow-up, and health prescriptions were (1.45±0.68) points, (1.68±1.01) points, (2.65±1.65) points, (2.76±1.74) points, (3.24±1.58) points, and (2.59±1.71) points respectively. According to latent profile analysis, healthcare personnel conducting health education could be divided into four categories: low development group (46.6%, 1 300 people), high development group (4.6%, 129 people), inpatient/follow-up development group (19.4%, 541 people), and outpatient/follow-up development group (29.4%, 822 people). The hospital level and profession of medical personnel in each category were different, and the differences were statistically significant( P<0.001). Conclusions:Medical staff in Beijing mainly carry out health education at such stages as patient follow-up, inpatient, and outpatient, but there is insufficient health education accessible in the media or outside the hospital. There are differences in the health education situation of medical personnel at different levels of hospitals and professions. It is recommended to build an efficient health education management system, actively explore new media-based health education channels, and reasonably allocate health education resources to comprehensively improve the health education of medical staff.

Objective:To extract and summarize the best evidence of early ambulation after anterior cervical surgery, so as to provide practical basis for early ambulation of clinical patients.Methods:The research questions were proposed based on the population, intervention, professional, outcome, setting and type of evidence (PIPOST) model. According to the "6S" model, the clinical guidelines, expert consensus, clinical decision-making, evidence summary, systematic reviews and randomized controlled trials related to "early postoperative activities of patients undergoing anterior cervical surgery" in databases such as UpToDate, British Medical Journal (BMJ) Best Practice website, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and WanFang Data were systematically retrieved. The retrieval time was from the establishment of the database to February 1, 2022. Two researchers independently evaluated the quality of the articles, and extracted and integrated the evidence of the articles meeting the quality standards.Results:A total of 10 articles were included, including two guidelines, three expert consensus, three systematic reviews, and two randomized controlled trials. It is summarized into 28 pieces of evidence and 7 dimensions, including multidisciplinary team cooperation, optimization of preoperative health education, preparation before ambulation, content of ambulation, multimodal analgesia management, nausea and vomiting management, and safety management of ambulation.Conclusions:The evidence included in this study provides a series of information for early ambulation after anterior cervical surgery. The medical and nursing staff should combine the evidence with the actual clinical situation, consider the value and expectation of the patient, comprehensively and individually evaluate the patient, and then make an early ambulation plan.
