		                        			ObjectiveThe controllability changes of structural brain network were explored based on the control and brain network theory in young smokers, this may reveal that the controllability indicators can serve as a powerful factor to predict the sleep status in young smokers. MethodsFifty young smokers and 51 healthy controls from Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology were enrolled. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was used to construct structural brain network based on fractional anisotropy (FA) weight matrix. According to the control and brain network theory, the average controllability and the modal controllability were calculated. Two-sample t-test was used to compare the differences between the groups and Pearson correlation analysis to examine the correlation between significant average controllability and modal controllability with Fagerström Test of Nicotine Dependence (FTND) in young smokers. The nodes with the controllability score in the top 10% were selected as the super-controllers. Finally, we used BP neural network to predict the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in young smokers. ResultsThe average controllability of dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, supplementary motor area, lenticular nucleus putamen, and lenticular nucleus pallidum, and the modal controllability of orbital inferior frontal gyrus, supplementary motor area, gyrus rectus, and posterior cingulate gyrus in the young smokers’ group, were all significantly different from those of the healthy controls group (P<0.05). The average controllability of the right supplementary motor area (SMA.R) in the young smokers group was positively correlated with FTND (r=0.393 0, P=0.004 8), while modal controllability was negatively correlated with FTND (r=-0.330 1, P=0.019 2). ConclusionThe controllability of structural brain network in young smokers is abnormal. which may serve as an indicator to predict sleep condition. It may provide the imaging evidence for evaluating the cognitive function impairment in young smokers.

		                        			Background:
		                        			A comparative study of classical medical texts within Traditional
Medicine provides a vital framework for uncovering the origins, development,
transmission, and historical significance of healing traditions. This approach
highlights a specific culture’s contribution to medical knowledge and reflects
the intricate interplay of religion, culture, and philosophical thought embedded
in those eras.
		                        		
		                        			Aim:
		                        			To conduct a comparative analysis of the depictions of the “Medicinal
Mandala” as described in the first chapter of the “Root Tantra” section in the
two classical medical sources Sorig Bumshi and Gyudshi.
		                        		
		                        			Materials and Methods:
		                        			This research examines two foundational Tibetan
medical texts—Sorig Bumshi and Gyudshi—using theme-based classification
and content analysis methodologies grounded in textual source criticism.
		                        		
		                        			Results:
		                        			The findings confirm that Sorig Bumshi, a Bönpo medical text from
the ancient Zhangzhung civilization, was composed earlier. The great translator
Byaruzana translated it from the Zhangzhung language, after which Yuthok
Yönten Gönpo and collaborators edited, revised, and systematized the text to
form Gyudshi, embedding it in Buddhist epistemological frameworks.
		                        		
		                        			Conclusions
		                        			1. The medicinal mandala of Gyudshi—structured around a central "beautiful
medicinal city" surrounded by four directional mountains—demonstrates a
refined adaptation of the more expansive, sacred mandala depicted in Sorig
Bumshi, which is centered on Olmo Lung Ring, a Bönpo pure land rich in symbolic
geography.
2. The numerical values recorded in both texts—particularly the recurring use
of 360 and 404—suggest different paradigms in medical theory. Sorig Bumshi
embeds these numbers within a Bön cosmological and ritual context (e.g.,
360 deities, mountains, and healing lakes), while Gyudshi reinterprets them
under Buddhist causal reasoning (e.g., 404 diseases derived from wind, bile,
phlegm, and karma). This transformation reflects a shift from Bön to Buddhist
medical epistemology through selective integration and doctrinal refinement.

		                        			 Objective To study the microscopic structure and morphological characteristics of Zebrafish eyeball and retina at different developmental stages, and to lay a foundation for visual research model. Methods Select eight groups of zebrafish at different ages, with six fish in each group, 48 fish in total. Optical microscopy and transmission electron microscopy were used to observe the eyeball structure of Zebrafish at different developmental stages, and the thickness of retinal each layer was measured to analyze the temporal and spatial development pattern. The morphological characteristics of various cells in the retina and the way of nerve connection were observed from the microscopic and ultrastructural aspects, especially the structural differences between rod cells and cone cells. Results The retina of Zebrafish can be divided into ten layers including retinal pigment epithelial layer, rod cells and cone cells layer, outer limiting membrane, outer nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer, inner nuclear layer, inner plexiform layer, ganglion cell layer, nerve fiber layer, inner limiting membrane. Rod cells had a smaller nucleus and a higher electron density than cone cells. Photoreceptor terminals were neatly arranged in the outer plexiform layer, forming neural connections with horizontal cells and bipolar cells, and several synaptic ribbons are clearly visible within them. In Zebrafish retina, ganglion cell layer and inner plexiform layer are the earliest developed. With the growth and development of Zebrafish, the thickness of rod cells and cone cells layer and retinal pigment epithelial layer gradually increases, and the retinal structure was basically developed in about 10 weeks. Conclusion The retinal structure of Zebrafish is typical, with obvious stratification and highly differentiated nerve cells. There are abundant neural connections in the outer plexiform layer. The ocular development characteristics of Zebrafish are similar to those of most mammals.

		                        			 At present, there is no cure for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) due to HIV-1 latent reservoirs. Therefore, it urgently requires novel HIV-1 latency-regulating agents with high potency, low toxicity and favorable drug-like properties to achieve a functional cure for AIDS. Herein, we reviewed the advances in HIV-1 latency-regulating agents since 2019, including the drug discovery strategies, bioactivities, and mechanisms of these compounds. It is of great guiding significance in the development of latency-regulating agents with clinical value.
