Article Abstract
Quality control remains a challenge in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). This study introduced a novel genetic-based quality control method for TCM. Genetic variations in ginseng were evaluated across whole-genome, chloroplast genome, and ITS2 DNA barcode dimensions. Significant genetic variations were found in whole-genome comparison, leading to the use of inter-simple sequence repeat markers to assess the genetic diversity of ginseng decoction pieces (PG), garden ginseng (GG), and ginseng under forest (FG). Fingerprints of ginseng samples revealed instability within some batches. These evaluations were transformed into information entropy to calculate the size of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium population (HWEP). FG had significantly higher genetic and chemical minimum HWEP than GG ( < 0.05). Notably, a significant positive correlation was observed between the minimum HWEP for genetics and for chemistry ( = 0.857, = 0.014). Genetic polymorphism analysis of ginseng has the potential to evaluate chemical quality consistency, offering a new method to ensure quality consistency in TCM.

A multi-indicator framework was developed to resolve multi-source pollution in highly urbanized rivers, demonstrated in the Qinhuai River Basin, Nanjing, China. Water quality index (WQI) stratification was integrated with dissolved organic matter (DOM) fluorescence components, hydrochemical ions, and conventional parameters and analyzed using positive matrix factorization (PMF). Correlation analysis further elucidated source compositions and interactions.

Pharmacological modulation of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) through dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists, commonly used for diabetes and obesity, shows promise in reducing alcohol consumption. We applied drug-target Mendelian randomization (MR) using genetic variation at these loci to assess their long-term effects on problematic alcohol use (PAU), binge drinking, alcohol misuse classifications, liver health, and other substance use behaviors. Genetic proxies for lowered BMI, modeling the appetite-suppressing and weight-reducing effects of variants in both the GIPR and GLP1R loci ("GIPR/GLP1R"), were linked with reduced binge drinking in the primary (β = -0.

Background: The optimal management of synchronous rectal cancer (RC) and prostate cancer (PC) remains unclear. This systematic review evaluates treatment strategies and reports postoperative, oncological, and quality-of-life outcomes in patients treated with curative intent.
Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, this systematic review was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024598049).

Atherosclerosis, a major cause of cardiovascular diseases, is characterized by the buildup of lipids and chronic inflammation in the arteries, leading to plaque formation and potential rupture. Despite recent advances in single-cell transcriptomics (scRNA-seq), the underlying immune mechanisms and transformations in structural cells driving plaque progression remain incompletely defined. Existing datasets often lack comprehensive coverage and consistent annotations, limiting the utility of downstream analyses.

Background: Theories, models, and frameworks (TMFs) are central to the development and evaluation of implementation strategies supporting evidence-based practice (EBP). However, evidence on how and to what extent TMFs are used in implementation trials remains limited.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the nature and extent of TMF use in implementation trials, identify which TMFs are most frequently employed, and explore temporal trends in their use.
