To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the aggregation of α-synuclein (α-syn) and dysregulated synaptic vesicle (SV) recycling. Emerging evidence suggests that ferroptosis is the target of PD therapy. However, the identification of effective anti-ferroptosis treatments remains elusive. This study explores the therapeutic potential of low-intensity ultrasound (US) in modulating SV recycling and anti-ferroptosis in cellular and animal models of PD. We demonstrate that optimized US stimulation (610 kHz, 0.2 W/cm²) activates Piezo1 channel-mediated fast endophilin-mediated endocytosis, which promotes SV recycling and synaptic function, presenting with increased frequency and amplitude of both spontaneous excitatory synaptic currents and miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents. Repaired SV recycling in turn reduces the accumulation of α-syn expression and ferroptotic cell death. These findings support the potential of noninvasive ultrasonic neuromodulation as a therapeutic strategy for PD and lead to meaningful health outcomes for the aging population.

Objective To establish a predictive model for digestive and respiratory infectious disease patients'selection of first-entry healthcare institutions and analyze the influencing factors,providing a reference for regional healthcare institution development.Methods The cluster sampling was used to select 1524 target patients.The data was randomly split 8∶2 into training and testing sets.The binary logistic regression method was employed to establish a predictive model for the selection of infectious disease patients'first choosing institution and analyze the influencing factors.The model's predictive performance was evaluated using the AUC of the testing set.Results It analyzed 1 524 infectious disease cases;417 chose community clinics first.Influences on their initial choice included education,insurance type,occupation,relative distance,and having a family doctor.The AUC of the test set was 0.851.Conclusion The predictive model of the selection of infectious disease patients'first choosing institution established in this study can be used to predict patient flow and help allocate medical resources reasonably.Increasing the rate of primary care for patients with infectious diseases in the region.

Talents are the main force for the development of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM）， and the construction of TCM talents and the reformation of talent evaluation system are essential to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. At present， we are still exploring and developing in the fields of the formulation， implementation and evaluation indicators of TCM talent evaluation system. However， there are shortcomings and difficulties. For instance， insufficient stratification in the evaluation， excessive emphasis on the quantity of achievements， neglecting the quality of the achievements and the actual contribution， imperfect assessment indicators， and the weak characteristics of TCM. Therefore， national ministries and commissions have jointly issued a document requesting to break the four only and set a new standard， in order to promote the construction of a scientific and technological talent evaluation system oriented by innovation value， ability and contribution. For the evaluation of TCM clinical talents， China Association for Science and Technology commissioned China Association of Chinese Medicine to build the China Clinical Cases Library of TCM（CCCL-TCM）， which aims at collecting the most authoritative and representative TCM clinical cases and exploring the advantages of applying clinical cases as masterpiece of achievement in TCM clinical talents evaluation. CCCL-TCM can promote the construction of a talent evaluation system that is more in line with the development characteristics of TCM industry， and to carry out relevant pilot in TCM colleges and institutions across the country in order to promote the reformation of TCM talent evaluation system.
