Dendrobium moniliforme (D. moniliforme) is a traditional medicinal herb widely cultivated in Asia. Flavonoids, one of the largest groups of secondary metabolites in plants, are significant medicinal components in Dendrobium species. Several subgroups of R2R3-MYB proteins have been validated to directly regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Using PacBio sequencing technology, we assembled a high-quality chromosome-level D. moniliforme genome with a total length of 1.20 Gb and a contig N50 of 3.97 Mb. The BUSCO assessment of genome annotation was 91.4%. By integrating the genome and transcriptome, we identified biosynthesis pathway enzyme genes related to flavonoids, polysaccharides, carotenoids, and alkaloids. A total of 90 R2R3-MYBs were identified in D. moniliforme and classified into 21 subgroups. Studies on the functions of R2R3-MYB transcription factors revealed that R2R3-MYB in SG6 can up-regulate flavonoid biosynthesis. Various validation experiments, including subcellular localization, transient overexpression, UPLC-MS/MS, HPLC, yeast one-hybrid, and dual-luciferase assays, demonstrated that DMYB69 directly up-regulates the expression of enzyme genes involved in flavonoid biosynthesis, increasing the content of flavonoids such as anthocyanin, flavone, and flavonol. Additionally, DMYB44 was shown to directly up-regulate the expression of carotenoid biosynthesis enzyme genes, thereby increasing carotenoid content. This study provides an essential genome resource and theoretical basis for molecular breeding research in D. moniliforme.

OBJECTIVE:
To develop a digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system for the intensive care unit (ICU) and evaluate its application effect in ICU shift handovers.
METHODS:
A research and development team was established, consisting of 1 department director, 1 head nurse, 3 information technology engineers, 3 nurses, and 2 doctors. Team members were assigned responsibilities including overall coordination and planning, platform design and maintenance, pre-application training, collection and organization of clinical feedback, and research investigation respectively. A digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system was developed for ICU based on the Shannon-Weaver linear transmission model. This innovative system integrated automated data collection, intelligent dynamic monitoring, multidimensional condition analysis and visual reporting functions. A cloud platform was used to gather data from multi-parameter vital signs monitors, infusion pumps, ventilators and other devices. Artificial intelligence algorithms were employed to standardize and analyze the data, providing personalized recommendations for healthcare professionals. A self-controlled before-after method was adopted. Before the application of the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system (from December 2023 to March 2024), the traditional verbal bedside handover was used; from June 2024 to March 2025, the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system was applied for shift handovers. Questionnaires before the application of the shift handover system were collected in April 2024, and those after the application were collected in April 2025. The shift handover time, handover quality (scored by the nursing handover evaluation scale), satisfaction with doctor-nurse communication (scored by the ICU doctor-nurse scale) before and after the application of the handover system were compared, and nurses' satisfaction with the shift handover system (scored by the clinical nursing information system effectiveness evaluation scale) was investigated.
RESULTS:
After the application of the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system, the shift handover time was significantly shorter than that before the application [minutes: 20 (15, 25) vs. 30 (22, 40)], the handover quality was significantly higher than that before the application [score: 84.0 (78.0, 88.5) vs. 71.0 (55.0, 79.0)], and the satisfaction with doctor-nurse communication was also significantly higher than that before the application (score: 84.58±6.79 vs. 74.50±11.30). All differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). In addition, the nurses' system effectiveness evaluation scale score was 102.30±10.56, which indicated that nurses had a very high level of satisfaction with the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system.
CONCLUSIONS
The application of the ICU digital intelligent multimodal shift handover system can shorten the shift handover time, improve the handover quality, and enhance the satisfaction with doctor-nurse communication. Nurses have a high level of satisfaction with this system.

Background::Although overnight fasting is recommended prior to endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), the benefits and safety of high-carbohydrate fluid diet (CFD) intake 2 h before ERCP remain unclear. This study aimed to analyze whether high-CFD intake 2 h before ERCP can be safe and accelerate patients’ recovery.Methods::This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled trial involved 15 tertiary ERCP centers. A total of 1330 patients were randomized into CFD group ( n = 665) and fasting group ( n = 665). The CFD group received 400 mL of maltodextrin orally 2 h before ERCP, while the control group abstained from food/water overnight (>6 h) before ERCP. All ERCP procedures were performed using deep sedation with intravenous propofol. The investigators were blinded but not the patients. The primary outcomes included postoperative fatigue and abdominal pain score, and the secondary outcomes included complications and changes in metabolic indicators. The outcomes were analyzed according to a modified intention-to-treat principle. Results::The post-ERCP fatigue scores were significantly lower at 4 h (4.1 ± 2.6 vs. 4.8 ± 2.8, t = 4.23, P <0.001) and 20 h (2.4 ± 2.1 vs. 3.4 ± 2.4, t= 7.94, P <0.001) in the CFD group, with least-squares mean differences of 0.48 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.26–0.71, P <0.001) and 0.76 (95% CI: 0.57–0.95, P <0.001), respectively. The 4-h pain scores (2.1 ± 1.7 vs. 2.2 ± 1.7, t = 2.60, P = 0.009, with a least-squares mean difference of 0.21 [95% CI: 0.05–0.37]) and positive urine ketone levels (7.7% [39/509] vs. 15.4% [82/533], χ2 = 15.13, P <0.001) were lower in the CFD group. The CFD group had significantly less cholangitis (2.1% [13/634] vs. 4.0% [26/658], χ2 = 3.99, P = 0.046) but not pancreatitis (5.5% [35/634] vs. 6.5% [43/658], χ2 = 0.59, P = 0.444). Subgroup analysis revealed that CFD reduced the incidence of complications in patients with native papilla (odds ratio [OR]: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.39–0.95, P = 0.028) in the multivariable models. Conclusion::Ingesting 400 mL of CFD 2 h before ERCP is safe, with a reduction in post-ERCP fatigue, abdominal pain, and cholangitis during recovery.Trail Registration::ClinicalTrials.gov, No. NCT03075280.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism of Zexie Decoction (泽泻汤) in inhibiting neuroinflammation and improving cognitive impairment mediated by high-calorie diet. MethodsTwenty seven C57BL/J mice were randomly divided into control group (n = 9), model group (n = 9) and Zexie Decoction group (n = 9). The mice in the model group and the Zexie Decoction group were fed with high-calorie diet to establish the model of cognitive impairment. Meanwhile, the mice in Zexie Decoction group were also fed with 0.36 g/(kg·d)Zexie Decoction, and the mice in the control group and model group were fed with the same volume of normal saline for 8 weeks. The body weight of mice was recorded at the same time every week; after intervention, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and insulin tolerance test(ITT) commenced; the cognitive level of mice was detected by Morris water maze, open field test, new object recognition test and Y maze; magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) was used to detect the expression of N-acetylaspartate (NAA), choline (CHO), lactic acid (Lac), creatine (Cr), lipid (Lip), and myoInositol (mI) in left hippocampus, hypothalamus and cortex. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of synaptophysin (SYN), synaptosome associated protein-25 (SNAP-25), postsynaptic dense protein-95 (PSD-95), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB p65) and its phosphorylated form (P-NF-B p65) in mouse brain; Nissl's staining was used to detect the morphological changes of hippocampal neurons. ResultsCompared with the control group, body mass, blood glucose in oral glucose tolerance test, and blood glucose in insulin tolerance test increased in the model group; in the Morris water maze experiment, the total distance travelled and escape latency of the model group mice increased, the time spent in the platform area and the number of times traversing the platform decreased on days 3 and 4; in the open-field experiment, the number of times the model group mice entered the central area, the ratio of the time in the central area to the total time, and the ratio of the distance travelled in the central area to the total distance significantly decreased; in the new object recognition test, the frequency of new object recognition and recognition index were significantly lower in the model group mice; in the Y-maze test, the spontaneous alternation rate of mice in the model group was significantly lower (P<0.05 or P<0.01); in the left hippocampus, hypothalamus, and cortex of mice in the model group, the CHO/Cr, NAA/Cr significantly decreased, and the mI/Cr, Lac/Cr and Lip/Cr significantly increased; SYN/β-actin, SNAP-25/β-actin and PSD-95/β-actin values significantly decreased, and p-NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65 and TNF-α/β-actin values significantly increased in brain tissue (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the above indexes of mice in the Zexie Decoction group significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The results of Nissl staining showed that compared with the control group, the neurons in the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus in the model group were scattered and sparsely arranged, the density was significantly reduced, the nuclei of the cells had consolidation and shrinkage, the number of Nissl vesicles was reduced, and the staining became lighter; compared with the model group, the density of neurons in the hippocampal dentate gyrus region of the Zexie Decoction group increased, the wrinkling of nuclei improved, the cell gap narrowed, and the arrangement was slightly tight. Concusion The ameliorative effect of Zexie Decoction on cognitive function in mice with high-calorie diet-induced cognitive impairment may relate to the restructuring of glucose metabolism homeostasis, inhibition of neuroinflammation, reduction of neuronal damage, and enhancement of synaptic plasticity.

Purpose::Internal iliac artery ligation (IIAL) has been used as a damage control procedure to treat hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture for many years. However, there is ongoing debate regarding the effectiveness and safety of this hemostatic method. Therefore, we performed a systematic literature review to assess the efficacy and safety of IIAL for pelvic fracture hemostasis.Methods::Three major databases, PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar, were searched to screen eligible original studies published in English journals. Two reviewers independently read the titles, abstracts, and full texts of all literature. Articles were included if they reported the use and effects of IIAL.Results::A total of 171 articles were initially identified, with 22 fully meeting the inclusion criteria. Among the analyzed cases, up to 66.7% of patients had associated abdominal and pelvic organ injuries, with the urethra being the most frequently injured organ, followed by the bowel. The outcomes of IIAL for achieving hemostasis in pelvic fractures were found to be satisfactory, with an effective rate of 80%. Hemorrhagic shock was the leading cause of death, followed by craniocerebral injury. Notably, no reports of ischemic complications involving the pelvic organs due to IIAL were found.Conclusion::IIAL has a good effect in treating hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture without the risk of pelvic organ ischemia. This procedure should be considered a priority for hemodynamically unstable pelvic fracture patients with abdominal organ injuries.
