ObjectiveTo preliminarily explore the active components and target pathways of Angelicae Sinensis Radix-Polygonati Rhizoma (ASR-PR) herb pair in the treatment of simple obesity through network pharmacology and molecular docking, and to verify and investigate its mechanism of action via animal experiments. MethodsThe chemical constituents and targets of ASR and PR were predicted using the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform (TCMSP). Targets related to simple obesity were identified by retrieving the GeneCards, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM), Pharmacogenomics Knowledgebase (PharmGKB), and DisGeNET databases. The intersection of drug and disease targets was used to construct an active component-target network using Cytoscape software. This network was imported into the STRING database to construct a protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and topological analysis was conducted to identify core genes. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis and mapping were performed using the DAVID database and the Microbioinformatics platform. AutoDock 1.5.7 software was used to perform molecular docking between the top five active components and core targets. An animal model of simple obesity was established by feeding C57BL/6J mice a high-fat diet. The mice were administered ASR (2.06 g·kg-1), PR (2.06 g·kg-1), or ASR-PR (4.11 g·kg-1) for 10 weeks, while the model group received an equal volume of purified water by gavage. After the administration period, the mice were sacrificed to measure body fat weight and serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe histopathological sections of liver and adipose tissue. Serum levels of leptin, interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the mRNA expression levels of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) in liver tissue were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultsNetwork pharmacology and molecular docking results indicated that the treatment of simple obesity by ASR-PR may involve the regulation of protein expression of core targets EGFR and STAT3 by its main components MOL009760 (Siberian glycoside A_qt), MOL003889 (methyl protodioscin_qt), MOL009766 (resveratrol), MOL006331 (4′,5-dihydroxyflavone), and MOL004941 (baicalin), thereby modulating the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT signaling pathways. The animal experiment results showed that compared with the normal group, the model group had significantly increased body weight, body fat weight, and serum levels of TG, TC, TNF-α, IL-6, and leptin (P<0.01). EGFR mRNA expression was significantly elevated (P<0.05), while STAT3 mRNA expression was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Histological analysis revealed disordered hepatic architecture in the model group, with pronounced lipid vacuoles, cytoplasmic loosening, lipid accumulation, and steatosis. Adipocytes in white adipose tissue (WAT) and brown adipose tissue (BAT) of the model group exhibited markedly increased diameters, reduced cell counts per unit area, and irregular morphology. Compared with the model group, the ASR-PR group significantly reduced body weight, body fat weight, serum TC, IL-6, TNF-α, leptin levels, and EGFR mRNA expression (P<0.01). TG levels were also significantly decreased (P<0.05), while STAT3 mRNA expression was significantly increased (P<0.01). Histopathological improvements included reduced size and number of hepatic lipid vacuoles and restoration of liver cell morphology toward that of the normal group. The diameter of adipocytes significantly decreased, and the number of adipocytes per unit area increased. ConclusionASR-PR may regulate the expression of key target proteins such as EGFR and STAT3 via its core active components, modulate the PI3K/Akt and JAK/STAT signaling pathways, repair damaged liver and adipose tissues, and thereby alleviate the progression of obesity in mice.

Objective:To analyze the association between healthy lifestyle and mortality among Henan Province 35-74 years old individuals.Methods:Data from the programme of screening and intervention subjects with high-risk cardiovascular disease 99 133 adults were analyzed in a provincial cohort study of 16 counties. Four healthy lifestyle behaviors were assessed based on a questionnaire survey. Information on mortality endpoints was retrieved from the national death surveillance system. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate the associations between healthy lifestyles, mortality risk and population attributable fraction (PAF).Results:Out of the adult participants in Henan, 50.6% adhered to a healthy lifestyle, and only 0.1% adhered to 4 healthy lifestyle behaviours. During a mean of 4.5 years, 2 685 all-cause death and 1 283 cardiovascular deaths were documented. The decreased risk of mortality among individuals with non-smoking, moderate drinking, adequate exercise and healthy diet were 0.85 (95% CI: 0.77-0.94), 0.75 (95% CI: 0.63-0.89), 0.73 (95% CI: 0.67-0.79) and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.77-0.96), while the adjusted PAF for all-cause deaths were 5.2% (95% CI: 2.5%-7.9%), 24.0% (95% CI: 10.7%-36.4%), 19.4% (95% CI: 13.8%-24.8%) and 12.3% (95% CI: 3.4%-20.9%), respectively. A combined healthy lifestyle can bring more health benefits. Adherence to 4 healthy lifestyle behaviours could avoid 49.1% of all-cause death. Conclusion:Adherence to a healthy lifestyle can reduce the risk of death, and participants with a healthy lifestyle had a lower mortality risk.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore the risk factors of oral-mucosal pressure injury (OMPI) in patients with tracheal intubation in ICU and to establish a nomogram model.Methods:Using the convenient sampling method, a total of 640 patients with oral tracheal intubation admitted to ICU of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from January to May 2023 were selected as the research objects. They were divided into the occurrence group ( n=286) and the non-occurrence group ( n=354) according to whether OMPI occurred or not. Binomial Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the risk factors for OMPI in patients with tracheal intubation in ICU. A risk nomogram model was created based on independent risk factors, and internal verification was conducted by Bootstrap repeated sampling method. Results:OMPI occurred in 286 of 640 ICU patients with tracheal intubation. Binomial Logistic regression analysis showed that high APACHEⅡ score, modified Beck oral score greater than or equal to 11 points, use of sedative drugs, prone ventilation, long retention time of tracheal catheter, low oxygenation index less than 200 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and tracheal catheter fixation frequency of 1 time /24 h were the risk factors for OMPI in patients with tracheal intubation in ICU ( P<0.05). A risk nomogram model for OMPI in patients with tracheal intubation in ICU was established based on independent risk factors. The results showed that the predictive performance (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of subjects was 0.918, 95% confidence interval was 0.897 to 0.938) and calibration (χ 2 value of 4.647, P=0.795) of the risk nomogram model for OMPI in patients with tracheal intubation in ICU were good. When the threshold probability was 0 to 1, the decision curve showed that the model had good clinical effectiveness. Conclusions:The OMPI risk nomogram model of tracheal intubation patients in ICU established in this study has good calibration and differentiation, which can be used as an effective tool for screening high-risk patients.
