OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of 2-dodecyl-6-methoxy-2，5-diene-1，4-cyclohexanedione （DMDD）， an active component from Averrhoa carambola root， on myocardial injury in diabetic mice based on the nuclear receptor coactivator 4/ferritin heavy chain 1/autophagy-related protein 8 （NCOA4/FTH1/ATG8） axis. METHODS The successfully modeled diabetic mice were randomly divided into model group and DMDD low-， medium-， and high-dose （12.5， 25， 50 mg/kg） groups， while an additional non-modeled control group was established， with 6 mice in each group. Each group received the corresponding drug solution or an equal volume of normal saline intragastically once daily for 21 consecutive days. After the administration， the levels of fasting blood glucose （FBG）， serum lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB （CK-MB） were measured. Myocardial pathological changes， degree of fibrosis， and myocardial cell ultrastructure were observed. Myocardial cell death index and NCOA4 protein positive index were detected. The protein expression levels of NCOA4， FTH1， ATG8， solute carrier family 7 member 11 （SLC7A11）， and glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4） in cardiac tissue were measured. RESULTS Compared with model group， each DMDD group showed significant alleviation of cardiac pathological injury and varying degrees of improvement in the myocardial cell ultrastructure. The FBG and serum LDH and CK-MB levels， the myocardial cell death index and NCOA4 protein positive index，the protein expression levels of NCOA4， FTH1， and ATG8 in cardiac tissue were significantly decreased （ P ＜0.001）， while the protein expression levels of SLC7A11 and GPX4 were significantly increased （ P ＜0.001）. CONCLUSIONS DMDD can reduce blood glucose levels， alleviate myocardial histopathological injury， and inhibit cell death in diabetic mice. The mechanism is associated with inhibiting excessive activation of the NCOA4/FTH1/ATG8 axis and reducing ferritinophagy.

ObjectiveTo explore the molecular mechanisms by which serum containing Gegen Qinlian Tang （GQT） inhibits glycolysis and enhances chemotherapy sensitivity in 5-fluorouracil （5-FU）-resistant colorectal cancer （CRC） cells based on the cyclin-dependent kinase 16 （CDK16）/MYC proto-oncogene （MYC） pathway. MethodsHCT-116/5-FU cells were treated with different concentrations （5%， 10%， 20%， 30%） of GQT-containing serum. Cell viability and 5-FU sensitivity were assessed using the cell counting kit-8 （CCK-8） assay， and the experimental concentrations of 5-FU and GQT for subsequent experiments were determined. Cell proliferation and apoptosis under individual 5-FU， GQT， and combined 5-FU + GQT treatments were evaluated using 5-ethynyl-2′-deoxyuridine （EDU） staining and annexin V-FITC/PI double staining， respectively. Glucose consumption， adenosine triphosphate （ATP） production， and lactate levels were measured by colorimetric assays. Expression levels of glycolysis-related proteins， CDK16， MYC， and phosphorylated MYC were detected by Western blot. Co-immunoprecipitation （CoIP） was used to examine the protein interaction between CDK16 and MYC， and cycloheximide （CHX） treatment was applied to assess the effect of CDK16 overexpression on MYC protein stability. ResultsCCK-8 assays showed that 2.5 mg·L^-1 5-FU significantly inhibited HCT-116 cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. In HCT-116/5-FU cells， significant inhibition was observed only at 5 mg·L^-1 5-FU （P<0.05）， which was used for model establishment. Compared with 5-FU alone， addition of 5% GQT-containing serum significantly suppressed HCT-116/5-FU cell viability （P<0.05）， with stronger inhibition at higher serum concentrations. Thus， 5% GQT-containing serum was used in subsequent experiments. Compared with the control group， 5-FU， GQT， and 5-FU + GQT treatments all significantly reduced cell proliferation （P<0.05） and increased apoptosis （P<0.01）. The 5-FU + GQT combination showed superior inhibition of proliferation compared with 5-FU or GQT alone （P<0.01）， accompanied by more pronounced reductions in glucose consumption， ATP production， and lactate generation （P<0.01）. Additionally， compared with control， 5-FU， and GQT groups， the 5-FU + GQT group exhibited stronger suppression of MYC and its phosphorylated forms （P<0.01） and greater inhibition of glycolytic enzymes， including hexokinase 2 （HK2）， 3-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 （PDK1）， lactate dehydrogenase A （LDHA）， and pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2） （P<0.01）. CDK16， MYC， and MYC phosphorylation expression levels were significantly downregulated in the 5-FU + GQT group compared with the 5-FU group （all P<0.01）. MYC protein stability decreased in a time-dependent manner in the 5-FU + GQT group （P<0.05）， which was rescued by CDK16 overexpression （P<0.05）. ConclusionGQT significantly enhances the sensitivity of HCT-116/5-FU cells to 5-FU， potentially by inhibiting CDK16 and thereby reducing MYC-mediated glycolysis.

The detailed workflow included various key links. In clinical question construction， 15 items were screened by the nominal group method. In evidence retrieval， Chinese and English databases， along with gray literature， were covered to obtain 116 clinical and 33 pharmaceutical studies. In safety assessment， drug monitoring data and clinical research results were integrated， clarifying local adverse skin reactions and contraindications. Ultimately， 8 recommendations were formed by the GRADE grid method， while 16 consensus suggestions were reached via the majority vote rule. The results showed that the Binghuang Fule Ointment was applicable to eczema， psoriasis， neurodermatitis， tinea pedis， and other diseases. The Consensus also elucidated the syndrome differentiation points， usage and dosage for different diseases （such as adjustment of course and application frequency）， as well as the indications of combination medication. Additionally， safety assessment suggested that the Ointment should be used with caution in individuals with skin ulceration or hypersensitivity. To ensure methodological rigor， the compilation process went through three rounds of internal and external expert reviews， while a comprehensive analysis was conducted by literature analysis， the Delphi method， and other methods. This compilation instruction provided methodological support for the clinical transformation of the Consensus through key links， including project initiation， international registration， informed consent， conflict-of-interest statements， evidence evaluation， and popularization. The Consensus will be continuously improved through a dynamic revision mechanism in the future.

The theory of constitution in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has emerged as a new discipline in recent years. Constitution plays a vital role in the onset，progression，transformation，and prognosis of diseases. At present，some clinical scholars have adopted a novel diagnostic and treatment model of "constitution differentiation-disease identification-syndrome differentiation"，in which constitution is regarded as a core element throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Constitution is closely associated with etiology，onset，pathogenesis，syndrome differentiation，and treatment. Against this background，the construction of animal models based on constitution holds far-reaching significance for advancing clinical research. This paper focuses on the construction and evaluation of rodent models with Qi-deficiency constitution，aiming to explore how to further induce Qi-deficiency syndromes and related disease states on the basis of Qi-deficiency constitution models，thereby developing an integrated animal model that embodies the trinity of "constitution-disease-syndrome". The establishment of this model not only provides a solid experimental foundation for the development of new therapies and drugs in TCM targeting specific constitutions，diseases，and syndromes，but also greatly promotes the modernization and scientific advancement of TCM theory. By comprehensively applying multidisciplinary technologies and methods，the study evaluates the model's validity，reliability，and practicality，with the aim of opening new avenues for future research in TCM and promoting the development of the field.

[摘 要] 目的：探讨绿茶单体表没食子儿茶素没食子酸酯（EGCG）对大鼠肝癌发生过程中肠道菌群结构变化的影响。方法：建立二乙基亚硝胺（DEN）诱导的肝癌大鼠模型。将26只SD大鼠随机分成3组，分别为正常对照组、肝癌组和EGCG干预组。从实验开始第1天起，EGCG干预组每日给予EGCG（40 mg/kg）灌胃，正常对照组和肝癌组给予等量生理盐水灌胃，1次/日，持续至第20周。灌胃结束后，采集大鼠粪便样本，提取DNA，进行高通量16S rRNA V3-V4区测序；处死大鼠，取肝，观察肿瘤形成情况，并计算肝癌发生率。对测序数据进行生物信息学分析：经质控、聚类获得操作分类单元（OTU）表，据此计算α多样性指数（包括Observed species、Chao1、Shannon和Simpson指数），并进行β多样性分析。同时，对物种进行分类学注释，比较各组间菌群组成与丰度差异。结果： EGCG干预组大鼠（8只）肝脏肿瘤形成率明显低于肝癌组（10只）（50% vs 100%， P = 0.023），正常对照组（8只）大鼠无肿瘤发生。在肠道菌群方面，肝癌组操作分类单元（OTU）数量远低于正常对照组（P <0.001），而EGCG干预组OTU数量总体上高于肝癌组（P = 0.021）。α多样性分析显示，肝癌组Shannon指数低于正常对照组（P < 0.05）；此外，与肝癌组相比，EGCG干预组的Observed species指数、Chao1指数、Shannon指数和Simpson指数均显著提高（P < 0.05）。β多样性分析及主坐标分析（PCoA）表明，三组肠道菌群结构存在显著分离（PERMANOVA， R² = 0.3918， P = 0.001），其中EGCG干预组群落结构介于肝癌组与正常对照组之间，并更接近于正常对照组。肝癌组大鼠较正常大鼠肠道菌群中链球菌等潜在致病菌富集，丁酸产生相关菌（如丁酸球菌属、瘤胃球菌属等）丰度显著降低（P < 0.05）。相比之下，在EGCG干预肝癌发生过程中，大鼠肠道菌群结构相对稳定。厚壁菌门/拟杆菌门比值较肝癌组显著提高（P < 0.05），益生菌（如双歧杆菌属、乳杆菌属等）和丁酸产生相关菌（如丁酸球菌属）富集。结论：EGCG干预可降低DEN诱导的大鼠肝癌发生率，并有助于稳定肠道菌群结构，其作用可能与增加菌群多样性、促进益生菌及丁酸产生菌富集、恢复菌群平衡有关。

SkinPro Ointment is an emulsion-based preparation derived from a traditional Tibetan medical empirical formula and developed using modern pharmaceutical technology. It is an exclusive patented product of Tibet Hairong Tangguo Pharmaceutical Co. Ltd. and has been listed as a National Protected Traditional Chinese Medicine Variety， the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China， and classified as a Category B product in the National Basic Medical Insurance Catalog. The ointment possesses the functions of clearing heat and drying dampness， activating blood circulation and dispelling wind， relieving itching and reducing inflammation. Clinically， it is used for skin pruritus caused by dampness-heat accumulation or blood-heat with wind-dryness， as well as pruritic skin diseases such as neurodermatitis， eczema， tinea pedis， and psoriasis. To clarify the standards for its clinical application and promote rational drug use， a consensus working group comprising 34 national experts in dermatology， evidence-based medicine， and pharmacy was established. Through expert interviews， the nominal group technique， and questionnaire surveys， 15 clinical issues were identified. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation （GRADE） evidence grading system was employed to assess the quality of evidence， leading to the formulation of the Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of SkinPro Ointment. This consensus specifies that the intended users are physicians and pharmacists in medical institutions at all levels. It standardizes the clinical application of the ointment， including syndrome characteristics， dosage and course of treatment， combination therapy， precautions， and contraindications. Recommendations and consensus suggestions were formed addressing the 15 clinical issues， covering the following key areas： ①Indications and TCM syndromes： In TCM， the ointment mainly treats conditions such as "damp sores" （Shichuang）， "white scaling" （Baibi）， "collar sores" （Shelingchuang）， and "damp foot Qi" （Jiaoshiqi）， corresponding to eczema， psoriasis， neurodermatitis， and tinea pedis in Western medicine. The relevant TCM syndromes are identified as dampness-heat accumulation or blood-heat with wind-dryness. ②Usage and dosage： For external use， apply to the affected area 3 times daily. The dosage should follow the fingertip unit （FTU） principle. A treatment course of 1-2 weeks is recommended for mild to moderate cases； for serious cases， the course should be followed as prescribed by a physician. ③Combined therapy： The ointment can be used as monotherapy for mild cases. For moderate to severe cases， combination therapy is recommended， with reference to relevant clinical guidelines. ④Safety： Common adverse reactions include skin rashes， pruritus， and erythema. The ointment is contraindicated in patients with broken skin or obvious exudation at the affected area， as well as in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components. Contact with sensitive areas such as the eyes and oral mucosa should be avoided. Modern research shows that the ointment also has potential efficacy in other dermatological conditions， such as adult atopic dermatitis， tinea cruris， exfoliative keratolysis， acne vulgaris， and Malassezia folliculitis. This consensus provides a scientific basis for promoting the rational clinical use of SkinPro Ointment， improving its therapeutic efficacy， and reducing medication risks. Future updates will be dynamically revised according to emerging clinical issues and new evidence.

AIM: To analyze changes in the anterior chamber angle structure in patients with implantable collamer lens with central-port(ICL V4c)implantation, and to investigate their associations with preoperative anterior segment anatomical parameters.METHODS: Retrospective case study. Patients with myopia or myopia combined with astigmatism who underwent ICL V4c implantation in the Refractive Surgery Center of the Department of Ophthalmology, the 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University between July 2024 and November 2024 were recruited. Preoperative and postoperative uncorrected visual acuity, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber angle(ACA), white-to-white distance(WTW), anterior chamber depth(ACD), angle to angle distance(ATA), horizontal sulcus-to-sulcus distance(HSTS), vertical sulcus-to-sulcus distance(VSTS),crystalline lens rise(CLR), pupil diameter(PD), iris thickness at 750 μm from the scleral spur(IT750),maximal iris thickness(ITM), iris curvature(I-Curv), and iris cross-sectional area(I-Area), angle opening distance(AOD750), thetrabecular-iris angle(TIA750)and the trabecular-iris space area(TISA750)in the temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior directions,as well as the vault at various postoperative time points were measured.RESULTS: The study involved 40 patients(79 eyes)with myopia or myopia combined with astigmatism who underwent ICL V4c implantation(10 males and 30 females)with the mean age of 24.73±3.79 y. Compared with preoperative measurements, at 1 mo postoperatively, the AOD750, TIA750, and TISA750 parameters at the four angles(temporal, nasal, superior, and inferior)all showed a significant reduction(P<0.01). Statistically significant differences in vault were observed at postoperative 1d(0.49±0.1), postoperative 1 wk(0.43±0.14), and postoperative 1 mo(0.41±0.14)(all P<0.001). Correlation analysis indicated that the postoperative state of the anterior chamber angle was jointly influenced by anterior chamber parameters(ACD, ATA, HSTS、VSTS), iris morphology(I-Area, IT750), pupil size(PD), and surgical factors(ICL size, early vault), and that the combination of influencing factors varied across different orientations. Regression analysis showed that ACD was positively correlated with all postoperative anterior chamber angle parameters(P<0.05). IT750 exhibited negative correlations with the temporal and inferior angles(P<0.05). I-Area was positively correlated with temporal AOD750 and TISA750(P<0.05), and PD had negative correlations with temporal TIA750 and nasal AOD750(P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Postoperative anterior chamber angle narrowing is a common phenomenon after ICL V4c implantation. The degree of change exhibits a significant correlation with multiple preoperative anterior segment anatomical parameters. Preoperative comprehensive assessment of ACD, PD, and IT750 may facilitate the evaluation of the risk of postoperative angle changes and the enhancement of surgical safety.
