ObjectiveBased on ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high-resolution mass spectrometry（UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS）， to identify the in vivo and in vitro chemical components of total phenolic acids in Gei Herba（TPAGH）， and to clarify the pharmacological effects and potential mechanisms of the effective part in promoting acute wound healing and inhibiting scar formation. MethodsUPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS was used to identify the chemical components of TPAGH and ingredients absorbed in vivo after topical administration. A total of 120 ICR mice were randomly divided into the model group， recombinant human epidermal growth factor（rhEGF） group（4 mg·kg^-1）， and low， medium， and high dose groups of TPAGH（3.5， 7， 14 mg·kg^-1）， with 24 mice in each group. A full-thickness skin excision model was constructed， and each administration group was coated with the drug at the wound site， and the model group was treated with an equal volume of normal saline， the treatment was continued for 30 days， during which 8 mice from each group were sacrificed on days 6， 12， and 30. The healing of the wounds in the mice was observed， and histopathological changes in the skin tissues were dynamically observed by hematoxylin-eosin（HE）， Masson， and Sirius red staining， and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） was used to dynamically measure the contents of interleukin-6（IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α（TNF-α）， vascular endothelial growth factor A（VEGFA）， matrix metalloproteinase（MMP）-3 and MMP-9 in skin tissues. Network pharmacology was used to predict the targets related to the promotion of acute wound healing and the inhibition of scar formation by TPAGH， and molecular docking of key components and targets was performed. Gene Ontology（GO） biological process analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were carried out for the related targets， so as to construct a network diagram of herbal material-compound-target-pathway-pharmacological effect-disease for further exploring its potential mechanisms. ResultsA total of 146 compounds were identified in TPAGH， including 28 phenylpropanoids， 31 tannins， 23 triterpenes， 49 flavonoids， and 15 others， and 16 prototype components were found in the serum of mice. Pharmacodynamic results showed that， compared with the model group， the TPAGH groups showed a significant increase in relative wound healing rate and relative scar inhibition rate（P<0.05）， and the number of new capillaries， number of fibroblasts， number of new skin appendages， epidermal regeneration rate， collagen deposition ratio， and Ⅲ/Ⅰ collagen ratio in the tissue were significantly improved（P<0.05， 0.01）， the levels of IL-6， TNF-α， MMP-3 and MMP-9 in the skin tissues were reduced to different degrees， while the level of VEGFA was increased. Network pharmacology analysis screened 10 core targets， including tumor protein 53（TP53）， sarcoma receptor coactivator（SRC）， protein kinase B（Akt）1， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3（STAT3）， epidermal growth factor receptor（EGFR） and so on， participating in 75 signaling pathways such as advanced glycation end-products（AGE）-receptor for AGE（AGE/RAGE） signaling pathway， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase（PI3K）/Akt signaling pathway， mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK） signaling pathway. Molecular docking confirmed that the key components genistein， geraniin， and casuariin had good binding ability to TP53， SRC， Akt1， STAT3 and EGFR. ConclusionThis study comprehensively reflects the chemical composition of TPAGH and the absorbed components after topical administration through UPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS. TPAGH significantly regulates key indicators of skin healing and tissue reconstruction， thereby clarifying its role in promoting acute wound healing and inhibiting scar formation. By combining in vitro and in vivo component identification with network pharmacology， the study explores how key components may bind to targets such as TP53， Akt1 and EGFR， exerting therapeutic effects through related pathways such as immune inflammation and vascular regeneration.

ObjectiveTo construct a group-based trajectory model (GBTM) for early medication adherence check-in, and to analyze the relationship between different trajectories and treatment outcomes in tuberculosis patients using data that were generated from smart tools for monitoring their medication adherence and check-in. MethodsFrom October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023, a total of 163 pulmonary tuberculosis patients diagnosed in Fengxian District were selected as the study subjects. The GBTM was utilized to analyze the weekly active check-in trajectories of the subjects during the first 4 weeks and establish different trajectory groups. The χ² tests were employed to compare the differences between groups and logistic regression analysis was conducted to explore the relationship between different trajectory groups and treatment outcomes. ResultsA total of four groups were generated by GBTM analyses, of which a low level of punch card was maintained in group A, 6% of the drug users increased rapidly from a low level in group B, 17% of drug users increased gradually from a low level in group C, and 18% of drug users maintained a high level of punch card in group D. The trajectory group was divided into two groups according to homogeneity, namely the low level medication punch card group (group A) and the high level medication punch card group (group B, group C, and group D). The results of multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed that low-level medication check-in (OR=3.250, 95%CI: 1.089‒9.696), increasing age (OR=1.030, 95%CI: 1.004‒1.056), and not undergoing sputum examination at the end of the fifth month (OR=2.746, 95%CI: 1.090‒7.009) were significantly associated with poor treatment outcomes. ConclusionThe medication check-in trajectory of pulmonary tuberculosis patients within the first 4 weeks is correlated with adverse outcomes, or namely consistent low-level medication adherence check-ins are associated with poor treatment outcomes, while high-level medication adherence check-ins are associated with a lower incidence of adverse outcomes.

Pathological vascular remodeling is a hallmark of various vascular diseases. Previous research has established the significance of andrographolide in maintaining gastric vascular homeostasis and its pivotal role in modulating endothelial barrier dysfunction, which leads to pathological vascular remodeling. Potassium dehydroandrographolide succinate (PDA), a derivative of andrographolide, has been clinically utilized in the treatment of inflammatory diseases precipitated by viral infections. This study investigates the potential of PDA in regulating pathological vascular remodeling. The effect of PDA on vascular remodeling was assessed through the complete ligation of the carotid artery in C57BL/6 mice. Experimental approaches, including rat aortic primary smooth muscle cell culture, flow cytometry, bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay, Boyden chamber cell migration assay, spheroid sprouting assay, and Matrigel-based tube formation assay, were employed to evaluate the influence of PDA on the proliferation and motility of smooth muscle cells (SMCs). Molecular docking simulations and co-immunoprecipitation assays were conducted to examine protein interactions. The results revealed that PDA exacerbates vascular injury-induced pathological remodeling, as evidenced by enhanced neointima formation. PDA treatment significantly increased the proliferation and migration of SMCs. Further mechanistic studies disclosed that PDA upregulated myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88) expression in SMCs and interacted with T-cadherin (CDH13). This interaction augmented proliferation, migration, and extracellular matrix deposition, culminating in pathological vascular remodeling. Our findings underscore the critical role of PDA in the regulation of pathological vascular remodeling, mediated through the MyD88/CDH13 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the occurrence of low back work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) among workers in a container manufacturing factory, and to explore the influencing factors.Methods:In June 2022, 952 workers from a container factory were selected as the research objects by cluster random sampling. Through questionnaire survey, the incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms among workers in the past one year was collected, and the influencing factors of low back WMSDs were analyzed by logistic regression.Results:The incidence rate of low back WMSDs was 46.7% (445/952). The factors with higher exposure at work were frequent slight bending (77.0%, 733/952), frequent overtime (74.1%, 705/952), and the need to turn around while working (62.3%, 593/952). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age over 40 years old, smoking, drinking, often bending over slightly, sitting for a long time, maintaining a large bending posture for a long time, often working overtime, limited operating space, and there was always a need to complete conflicting things in the container manufacturing factory workers were the risks of increasing the low back WMSDs ( OR=1.68, 1.96, 2.47, 1.49, 1.84, 2.11, 1.90, 1.82, 2.00, P<0.05). Standing at work, always friendly colleagues, and always supportive and helpful leaders were protective factors for low back WMSDs ( OR=0.60, 0.32, 0.40, P<0.05) . Conclusion:The incidence of low back WMSDs symptoms in container manufacturing workers is high, and work-related factors such as frequent slight bending, long time holding large bending posture and limited operating space are the focus of ergonomic intervention in container manufacturing enterprises.
