ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effects of Huanglian Jiedutang on cerebral infarction injury in a mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion （MCAO） and to explore its mechanism of action on oligodendrocytes， particularly its potential in myelin repair. MethodsMultiple experimental approaches were used to evaluate cerebral ischemic injury and the effects of drug intervention. Laser speckle imaging was used to detect changes in cerebral blood flow， 2，3，5-Triphenyltetrazolium chloride （TTC） staining was used to measure infarct volume， and neurological function was scored according to the Zea-Longa criteria. Brain tissues were routinely embedded in paraffin and subjected to HE and Nissl staining to observe tissue structure and neuronal damage. Animals were divided into a sham group （n=24）， model group （n=24）， Huanglian Jiedutang group （n=24）， and Ginkgo biloba extract （GBE） group （n=18）. After 1 week of acclimatization， intragastric administration was initiated. The sham and model groups received normal saline， the Huanglian Jiedutang group was administered 1.82 g·kg^-1， and the GBE group was administered 0.432 g·kg^-1 after preparation as a 2.16 g·L^-1 solution. All groups were treated for 5 consecutive days at a dose of 0.2 mL·（10 g）^-¹·d^-¹. The MCAO model was established after the final administration on day 6. Single-cell RNA sequencing was used to analyze brain tissue cellular composition and changes in oligodendrocyte subpopulations. Distinct subpopulations were identified by Uniform manifold approximation and projection （UMAP） dimensionality reduction and unsupervised clustering， and marker gene expression was analyzed. Pathway enrichment and causal inference were further performed using IPA. Finally， real-time quantitative PCR was used to verify mRNA expression changes of myelin-related genes. ResultsCompared with the sham group， the model group showed significantly increased neurological function scores （P<0.01）， significantly impaired blood flow （P<0.01）， significantly enlarged cerebral infarct area （P<0.01）， and pathological changes including disordered cortical structural arrangement， aggravated cytoplasmic vacuolization， and increased Nissl bodies. Compared with the model group， the Huanglian Jiedutang and GBE groups showed significantly decreased neurological function scores （P<0.01）， markedly restored blood flow levels （P<0.01）， significantly reduced cerebral infarct area （P<0.01）， and improvement in cortical structural disorder， alleviation of cytoplasmic vacuolization， and a reduction in Nissl bodies. Single-cell data showed that a myelin-associated oligodendrocyte （Mye-OL） subpopulation existed among oligodendrocytes， which was closely related to myelin generation. Compared with the sham group， the number of Mye-OL cells decreased in the model group. Compared with the model group， the number of Mye-OL cells increased in the Huanglian Jiedutang group. This subpopulation promoted the expression of myelin-related genes， including MOG， MBP， and MAG， via transcription factors such as OLIG1， OLIG2， NKX2-2， and SOX10， thereby regulating myelin generation， restoring cognition， and exerting therapeutic effects on acute cerebral infarction. Compared with the sham group， the mRNA expression levels of OLIG1， OLIG2， NKX2-2， and SOX10 were significantly downregulated in the model group （P<0.01）， and the mRNA expression levels of myelin-related genes， including MOG， MBP， and MAG， were also significantly downregulated （P<0.01）. In contrast， compared with the model group， the Huanglian Jiedutang and GBE groups showed significantly upregulated mRNA expression levels of OLIG1， OLIG2， NKX2-2， and SOX10 （P<0.01）， and significantly upregulated mRNA expression levels of myelin-related genes， including MOG， MBP， and MAG （P<0.01）. ConclusionHuanglian Jiedutang exerts therapeutic effects on acute cerebral infarction by regulating the OLIG1/2-NKX2-2-SOX10 signaling pathway to promote myelin generation by Mye-OL cells.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

ObjectiveTo establish three standardized rehabilitation unit models covering acute, critical and comprehensive recovery stages for traumatic brain injury (TBI) that fit the whole-course characteristics, clarify their multidisciplinary collaborative framework, standardized procedures, and information management system, and verify the clinical effectiveness of this staged rehabilitation unit on long-term functional prognosis and in-hospital complications of TBI patients. MethodsThis study was conducted at two stages: model construction and efficacy verification. At the first stage, TBI rehabilitation units for acute, critical and recovery stages were established in the Department of Neurosurgery, Intensive Care Unit and Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, respectively, with unified multidisciplinary team configuration, standardized assessment and treatment protocols, collaborative workflows, and a dedicated information management system. At the second stage, 324 TBI patients admitted to the newly built rehabilitation units from July, 2023 to July, 2025 were enrolled as the observation group, and 167 TBI patients receiving traditional management from January, 2018 to December, 2022 were retrospectively selected as the control group. The primary outcomes were 1-year post-injury Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) and Disability Rating Scale (DRS) scores. Secondary outcomes included the incidence of in-hospital complications and the mean indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter. ResultsThe 1-year GOS score was significantly higher (t = -7.836, P < 0.001), and the DRS score was significantly lower (t = -6.742, P < 0.001) in the observation group than in the control group. The overall incidence of complications was significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group (χ² = 18.762, P < 0.001). The incidences of pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection, pressure ulcer, lower extremity venous thrombosis and joint contracture deformity were all significantly reduced (χ² > 4.328, P < 0.05). The indwelling time of tracheal intubation, gastric tube and urinary catheter was significantly shorter in the observation group than in the control group (t > 10.276, P < 0.001). ConclusionThe acute-critical-comprehensive three-stage standardized TBI rehabilitation unit could significantly improve the long-term functional outcomes of TBI patients, reduce the incidence of complications, and shorten the indwelling time of invasive tubes through multidisciplinary collaboration, whole-course standardized management and information-based quality control. This model conforms to the pathological and functional laws of TBI, realizes seamless whole-course connection from acute treatment to recovery rehabilitation, and has good clinical feasibility and promotion value. It can provide evidence-based evidence and practical reference for the homogenized and standardized development of TBI rehabilitation in China.

Background Patients with pneumoconiosis often have limited disease-related knowledge, insufficient access to health education, and substantial health management needs. Health education may help improve rehabilitation outcomes and quality of life in this population. Objective To evaluate the effects of health education based on the Listen-Establish-Adopt-Reinforce-Name-Strength (LEARNS) model on rehabilitation outcomes, health-related behaviors, and quality of life among pneumoconiosis patients, and provide effective intervention strategies for the rehabilitation management of patients with pneumoconiosis. Methods A randomized controlled trial was conducted. A total of 120 pneumoconiosis patients treated in the Department of Occupational Diseases, Beijing Emergency General Hospital, from November 2024 to February 2025 were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned to a control group or an intervention group using a random number table method, with 60 patients in each group. The control group received routine pharmacotherapy, whereas the intervention group received a 12-week LEARNS model-based health-education intervention in addition to routine treatment. The 6-Minute Walk Test (6MWT) was used to assess exercise tolerance, and the modified Medical Research Council dyspnoea scale (mMRC) was used to evaluate dyspnoea. The Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) were applied for psychological status assessment. Pulmonary function, including forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV₁) and forced vital capacity (FVC), was measured using spirometry. A self-designed scale was used to evaluate eight health-related behaviors targeted by the health education program. The 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT) were used to assess quality of life, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was adopted to evaluate sleep quality. Results After the 12-week intervention, the control group showed no statistically significant changes from baseline in the measured outcomes(P＞0.05). In the intervention group, exercise tolerance improved significantly, with the 6-minute walking distance increasing from (382.55±19.52) m to (426.84±33.59) m (P＜0.001). Dyspnoea was also alleviated, with the mMRC score decreasing from 1.37±0.66 to 0.96±0.54 (P＜0.001). The CAT score decreased from 18.95±7.03 to 10.67±3.64 (P＜0.001). Significant improvements were observed in anxiety and depression symptoms (P＜0.001), with the SAS score decreasing from 38.85±6.24 to 34.27±2.27, and the SDS score decreasing from 49.01±3.25 to 45.49±3.44. Sleep quality improved significantly, with the PSQI score dropping from 7.89±4.35 to 4.05±2.31 (P＜0.001). All eight health-related behaviors in the intervention group improved significantly after the intervention (P＜0.001), including acquisition of disease-related knowledge (1.87±0.34 vs. 3.13±0.45), participation in health education activities (1.89±0.52 vs. 3.61±0.38), and regular physical exercise (2.37±0.41 vs. 4.17±0.33). All SF-36 domain scores increased significantly (P＜0.05), with the most prominent improvements observed in physical functioning, general health, and vitality. At week 12, all SF-36 domain scores were significantly higher in the intervention group than in the control group (P＜0.05). No statistically significant between-group differences were detected in pulmonary function parameters (P＞0.05). Conclusion LEARNS model-based health education could improve exercise tolerance, dyspnea, psychological status, sleep quality, health-related behaviors, and quality of life among patients with pneumoconiosis, and therefore may be a useful adjunctive strategy for rehabilitation management in patients with pneumoconiosis.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure （ACLF） is an acute and critical illness with a high short-term mortality rate， and current therapies mainly focus on elimination of causes， organ support， and prevention of complications. Although liver transplantation is the most effective treatment modality， its clinical application is limited， and traditional Chinese medicine has shown significant advantages and characteristics in the treatment of ACLF. In traditional Chinese medicine， ACLF is classified into the same category as diseases such as “jaundice”， and unlike traditional jaundice which is mostly characterized by excess and heat syndromes， the syndrome of ACLF has gradually transformed from Yang jaundice to Yin jaundice due to the changing disease spectrum of ACLF. With reference to the pathogenesis of ACLF in Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine theories， this article discusses the essential pathogenesis of ACLF in traditional Chinese medicine， explores the evolution of ACLF syndromes， and reviews the research advances in the clinical efficacy and mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine based on the three-factor differentiation-based treatment of damp-heat， blood stasis-heat， and spleen deficiency， as well as the safety of spleen-strengthening and Yang-warming drugs in the clinical treatment of ACLF， in order to provide ideas， methods， and evidence for the application of traditional Chinese medicine in ACLF.

Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic interstitial lung disease, is characterized by aberrant wound healing, excessive scarring and the formation of myofibroblastic foci. Although the role of alternative splicing (AS) in the pathogenesis of organ fibrosis has garnered increasing attention, its specific contribution to pulmonary fibrosis remains incompletely understood. In this study, we identified an up-regulation of serine/arginine-rich splicing factor 7 (SRSF7) in lung fibroblasts derived from IPF patients and a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse model, and further characterized its functional role in both human fetal lung fibroblasts and mice. We demonstrated that enhanced expression of Srsf7 in mice spontaneously induced alveolar collagen accumulation. Mechanistically, we investigated alternative splicing events and revealed that SRSF7 modulates the alternative splicing of pyruvate kinase (PKM), leading to metabolic dysregulation and fibroblast activation. In vivo studies showed that fibroblast-specific knockout of Srsf7 in conditional knockout mice conferred resistance to bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Importantly, through drug screening, we identified lomitapide as a novel modulator of SRSF7, which effectively mitigated experimental pulmonary fibrosis. Collectively, our findings elucidate a molecular pathway by which SRSF7 drives fibroblast metabolic dysregulation and propose a potential therapeutic strategy for pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effect of moxibustion on rats with acute diarrhea; To explore its potential mechanism in protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier.Methods:Totally 40 SD rats were divided into four groups: normal group, model group, moxibustion group, and montmorillonite powder group according to random number table method, with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group, the remaining groups were established as acute diarrhea models using senna leaf decoction administered via gavage combined with cold stimulation. The moxibustion group received suspended moxibustion on bilateral "Tianshu"(Point ST25) and "Shangjuxu"(Point ST37) acupoints, while the montmorillonite powder group was administered 0.81 g/kg of montmorillonite powder via gavage. The normal and model groups received an equal volume of normal saline via gavage, once daily for 7 consecutive days. The diarrhea status of the rats was observed, and the loose stool rate and diarrhea index were calculated. HE staining was used to observe pathological damage to the colonic mucosa. ELISA was employed to measure serum diamine oxidase (DAO) and D-lactate levels. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the expressions of colonic tight junction proteins (Occludin) and cytoplasmic tight junction protein 1 (ZO-1). Chemiluminescence was used to measure adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels in the colon. Transmission electron microscopy was used to observe changes in mitochondrial morphology in colonic mucosal cells. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of adenosine nucleotide translocator 2 (ANT2), cyclophilin D, and voltage-dependent anion channel 2 (VDAC2) in the colon.Results:Compared with the model group, the moxibustion and montmorillonite powder groups showed decreased loose stool rate, diarrhea index, and serum DAO and D-lactate levels ( P<0.05); the length of colonic mucosal villi increased ( P<0.05), while crypt depth decreased ( P<0.05); the protein expressions of colonic mucosal Occludin and ZO-1 increased ( P<0.05), ATP content increased ( P<0.05), ROS content decreased ( P<0.05), and the protein expressions of colonic mucosal ANT2, cyclophilin D, and VDAC2 decreased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Moxibustion can improve acute diarrhea in rats and protect the intestinal barrier, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the mitochondrial ANT2/mPTP pathway.
