ObjectiveTo explore the listed varieties and prescription characteristics of Chinese patent medicines for stroke in China, explore the medication rules of Chinese medicine for stroke, and provide guidance for further clinical research and development of Chinese patent medicines. MethodsExcel 2021 and the Ancient and Modern Medical Record Cloud Platform (V2.3.5) were used to systematically mine and analyze the varieties and prescriptions of Chinese patent medicines for stroke in China. ResultsA total of 244 Chinese patent medicines (two for different dosage forms of the same prescription), 1 736 approval documents for Chinese patent medicines, 792 manufacturers, and 83 varieties of protected Chinese patent medicines were finally included in the database. The top three dosage forms were capsules (75), pills (53), and tablets (42). There were 28 Chinese patent medicines for stroke in the National Essential Drug Catalogue (2018), 129 in the National Essential Medical Insurance, Industrial Injury Insurance and Maternity Insurance Drug Catalogue (2023), and 4 in the National Non-prescription Drug Catalogue. Among the 138 prescriptions screened out, Chinese patent medicines mainly treated stroke patients with the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. The top three most frequent medicinal herbs were Chuanxiong Rhizoma (63), Pheretima (47), and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (47). The medicinal herbs used were mainly warm, pungent, with the meridian tropism to the liver meridian. The correlation analysis showed that the herb pair with the highest support was Astragali Radix-Chuanxiong Rhizoma, and that with the highest confidence was Carthami Flos-Chuanxiong Rhizoma. Five herb combinations were identified based on the cluster analysis. ConclusionThe Chinese patent medicines for stroke mainly treat patients with the syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis. The medicinal herbs used in the prescriptions mainly have the functions of activating blood and resolving stasis, extinguishing wind and stopping convulsions. Drug compatibility usually focuses on activating blood and resolving stasis, as well as expelling phlegm and opening orifices. This review of the varieties and prescription characteristics of Chinese patent medicines for stroke helps optimize clinical decision-making, guide drug research and development, promote medical research and scientific progress, and provide more effective support and guarantee for the treatment of stroke patients.

It is regarded that the disease location of refractory facial paralysis is in the channel sinews of the face, with its primary pathogenesis characterized by a combination of deficiency and stasis of the channel sinews. The integration of repeated shallow needling method and fire acupuncture can first remove stagnation within the channel sinews, and second utilize the warming effect of fire to reinforce yang, stimulate meridian qi, and nourish the channel sinews. This approach balances both supplementation and drainage manipulation, aligning with the underlying pathogenesis of deficiency and stasis combination. In clinical practice, diagnostic methods should be applied flexibly to accurately identify the affected channel sinews. The severity of facial symptoms, the size and mobility of the paralyzed facial muscles, as well as the depth and size of the reactive points identified through palpation, should be considered when determining the extent of the condition. By adjusting the appropriate level of stimulation, the fire acupuncture with repeated shallow needling method could effectively improve facial muscle morphology and function, promoting recovery from the disease.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy, safety and cost-effectiveness of serplulimab as a first-line treatment of small- cell lung cancer (SCLC), and provide an evidence-based basis for drug selection in hospitals. METHODS Rapid health technology assessment was adopted; PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP and official websites of domestic and international health technology assessment agencies were systematically searched from the inception to Oct. 2024. Two reviewers independently screened the literature, assessed the quality of included studies and carried out the qualitative analysis according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS A total of 13 systematic reviews/meta-analyses and 9 economic studies were included, and the literature quality was generally good. In terms of effectiveness, compared with chemotherapy alone, serplulimab combined with chemotherapy significantly improved progression-free survival, overall survival, and objective response rate in patients with SCLC. In terms of safety, serplulimab combined with chemotherapy showed no significant difference in the incidence of ≥3 grade adverse events compared with chemotherapy alone in the treatment of SCLC, indicating a good safety profile; compared with combination therapies involving other immunosuppressive agents, the incidence rate of adverse events was also lower. In terms of cost-effectiveness, compared with chemotherapy alone, serplulimab combined with chemotherapy is not cost- effective, which may be related to the high price of serplulimab. CONCLUSIONS Serplulimab is effective and safe in the treatment of SCLC, but has no obvious advantage in terms of cost-effectiveness.

This study aims to explore the scientific connotation of sinking Rehmanniae Radix has the best quality and compare the quality between floating and sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples. Ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem quadrupole electrostatic field Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS) was employed to detect the chemical components in floating and sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples. The fingerprint of fresh Rehmanniae Radix was established by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC), and four index components were determined simultaneously. The cluster analysis, principal component analysis(PCA), and orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis(OPLS-DA) were conducted to compare the quality of floating and sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples. An evaporative light-scattering detector was used to compare the content of five sugars. The extract yield and drying rate were determined, and the quality connotation of sinking Rehmanniae Radix has the best quality was explained by multiple indicators. A total of 41 components were preliminarily identified from fresh Rehmanniae Radix by UHPLC-Q-Orbitrap HRMS, including 7 iridoid glycosides, 9 phenylethanol glycosides, 6 amino acids, 4 sugars, 3 phenolic acids, 5 nucleosides, 3 organic acids, 1 ionone, 1 furan, 1 coumarin, and 1 phenylpropanoid. The results showed that the main chemical components were consistent between floating and sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix. Nine common peaks were identified in the fingerprints of 15 batches of floating and sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples, and the similarity of fingerprints was greater than 0.9. The cluster analysis, PCA, and OPLS-DA classified floating and sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix sasmples into two categories, indicating differences in the quality between them. The total content of catalpol, rehmannioside D, ajugol, and verbascoside in sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples was higher than that in floating samples of the same batch and specification, and the main differential component was catalpol. The total content of fructose, glucose, sucrose, raffinose, and stachyose in sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples was higher than that in floating samples of the same batch and specification, and the main differential component was stachyose. The extract yield and drying rate of the sinking samples were higher than those of floating samples. This study preliminarily showed that floating and sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples had the same components but great differences in the content of medicinal substance basis. The total content of four glycosides and five sugars, extract yield, and drying rate of sinking fresh Rehmanniae Radix samples is higher than that of floating samples of the same batch and specification. These findings, to a certain extent, explains the scientificity of sinking Rehmanniae Radix has the best quality recorded in ancient books and provide a reference for the quality control and clinical application of fresh Rehmanniae Radix.

The quality of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) is a critical foundation for ensuring the stability of its efficacy, as well as the safety and effectiveness of its clinical use. The identification of critical quality attributes(CQAs) is one of the core components of TCM preparation quality control. This study focuses on Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets and explores their CQAs related to property and flavor from the perspective of taste receptor proteins. Three taste receptor proteins, T1R2, T1R3, and TRPV1, were selected, and a biosensor based on high-electron-mobility transistor(HEMT) was constructed to detect the interactions between Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets and taste receptor proteins. Simultaneously, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(LC-MS) technology was used to analyze the chemical composition of Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets. In examining the interaction strength, the results indicated that the interaction between Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets and TRPV1 protein was the strongest, followed by T1R3, with the interaction with T1R2 being relatively weaker. By combining biosensing technology with LC-MS, 16 chemical components were identified from Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets, among which six were selected as CQAs for sweetness and seven for pungency. Further validation experiments demonstrated that CQAs such as hesperidin and hesperetin had strong interactions with their corresponding taste receptor proteins. Through the combined use of multiple technological approaches, this study successfully determined the property and flavor-related CQAs of Jianwei Xiaoshi Tablets. It provides novel ideas and approach for the identification of CQAs in TCM preparations and offers comprehensive theoretical support for TCM quality control, contributing to the improvement and development of TCM preparation quality control systems.

The accurate segmentation of breast ultrasound images is an important precondition for the lesion determination. The existing segmentation approaches embrace massive parameters, sluggish inference speed, and huge memory consumption. To tackle this problem, we propose T 2KD Attention U-Net (dual-Teacher Knowledge Distillation Attention U-Net), a lightweight semantic segmentation method combined double-path joint distillation in breast ultrasound images. Primarily, we designed two teacher models to learn the fine-grained features from each class of images according to different feature representation and semantic information of benign and malignant breast lesions. Then we leveraged the joint distillation to train a lightweight student model. Finally, we constructed a novel weight balance loss to focus on the semantic feature of small objection, solving the unbalance problem of tumor and background. Specifically, the extensive experiments conducted on Dataset BUSI and Dataset B demonstrated that the T 2KD Attention U-Net outperformed various knowledge distillation counterparts. Concretely, the accuracy, recall, precision, Dice, and mIoU of proposed method were 95.26%, 86.23%, 85.09%, 83.59%and 77.78% on Dataset BUSI, respectively. And these performance indexes were 97.95%, 92.80%, 88.33%, 88.40% and 82.42% on Dataset B, respectively. Compared with other models, the performance of this model was significantly improved. Meanwhile, compared with the teacher model, the number, size, and complexity of student model were significantly reduced (2.2×10 6 vs. 106.1×10 6, 8.4 MB vs. 414 MB, 16.59 GFLOPs vs. 205.98 GFLOPs, respectively). Indeedy, the proposed model guarantees the performances while greatly decreasing the amount of computation, which provides a new method for the deployment of clinical medical scenarios.

To address the challenges in blood cell recognition caused by diverse morphology, dense distribution, and the abundance of small target information, this paper proposes a blood cell detection algorithm - the "You Only Look Once" model based on hybrid mixing attention and deep over-parameters (HADO-YOLO). First, a hybrid attention mechanism is introduced into the backbone network to enhance the model's sensitivity to detailed features. Second, the standard convolution layers with downsampling in the neck network are replaced with deep over-parameterized convolutions to expand the receptive field and improve feature representation. Finally, the detection head is decoupled to enhance the model's robustness for detecting abnormal cells. Experimental results on the Blood Cell Counting Dataset (BCCD) demonstrate that the HADO-YOLO algorithm achieves a mean average precision of 90.2% and a precision of 93.8%, outperforming the baseline YOLO model. Compared with existing blood cell detection methods, the proposed algorithm achieves state-of-the-art detection performance. In conclusion, HADO-YOLO offers a more efficient and accurate solution for identifying various types of blood cells, providing valuable technical support for future clinical diagnostic applications.

The connection between tendons and bones is called the tendon bone connection. With the continuous improvement of national sports awareness, excessive exercises and the related intensity are prone to damage the tendon bone connection. Tendon bone healing is a complex repair and healing process involving multiple factors, and good tendon bone healing is a prerequisite for its physiological function. The complexity of tendon bone structure also poses great challenges to the repair of tendon bone injuries. In recent years, researches have found that stem cells, growth factors, macrophages, and other factors are closely related to the healing process of tendon bone injuries, among which macrophages play an important role in the healing process. The authors reviewed relevant research literature in recent years and summarized the role of macrophages in tendon bone healing, in order to provide new ideas and directions for treatment strategies to promote tendon bone healing.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the biological behavior, differentiation ability, and differential gene expression of lymph node mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and reactive lymphoid hyperplasia (RLH), providing a theoretical basis for clinical chemotherapy resistance.
METHODS:
Lymph node MSCs from patients with DLBCL and RLH were separated, passaged and cultured. The cell morphology and growth status were observed. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the immune phenotype of MSCs. The in vitro directed differentiation ability of the two types of MSCs was observed. High-throughput sequencing was used to analyze the differential gene expression and enrichment of two groups of MSCs.
RESULTS:
The lymph node MSCs of patients with DLBCL and RLH had similar cell morphology and growth characteristics, and both groups of MSCs expressed CD90, CD105, and CD73 on the cell surface. Compared with lymph node MSCs derived from patients with RLH, lymph node MSCs derived from DLBCL patients showed stronger osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation abilities. High-throughput sequencing results displayed that lymph node MSCs derived from DLBCL patients significantly upregulated some genes such as TOP2A, LFNG, GRIA3, SEC14L2, SPON2, AURKA, LRRC15, FOXD1, HOXC9, CDC20 and remarkably downregulated some genes such as TBC1D8, LDLR, PCDHAC2, POLH, PKP2, ANKRD37, DMKN, HSD11B1, ARHGAP20, PTGS1,etc.
CONCLUSION
Lymph node MSCs in DLBCL patients exhibit unique biological behavior and gene expression profiles, which may be closely related to clinical chemotherapy resistance.
