Objective To explore the constitutional characteristics and risk in tinnitus patients. Methods The inclusion criteria were established on the basis of requests of constitution research. Those patients from the tinnitus clinic of Yueyang Hospital of Shanghai University of Chinese Medicine with the tinnitus as the chief complaint were included in accordance with the "Scale of TCM Constitution" to analyze the constituent ratio of various constitution types. Results There were 147 cases of gentleness type (29.64%),349 cases of biased constitution (70.36%),including 77 cases of yang-deficiency type (15.52%),37 cases of qi-deficiency type (7.46%),12 cases of yin-deficiency type (2.42%),11 cases of phlegm-damp type (2.22%),4 cases of special diathesis type (0.81%),156 cases of other type based on qi-deficiency type (31.45%),and 52 cases of other type based on yang-deficiency type (10.48%). The incidence of tinnitus was positively correlated with the patients' age. The patients mainly distributed in over 55 years of age. Gentleness type,qi-deficiency type,yang-deficiency type,other type based on qi-deficiency type,and other type based on yang-deficiency type were mainly distributed in course of disease in 0~3 months and 1~5 years. In the distribution of chronic-acute onset,all cases were chronic. Conclusion Qi-deficiency constitution and yang-deficiency constitution are the main constitutional types and risk factors for tinnitus. It is significant to improve qi-deficiency constitution and yang-deficiency constitution for treating and preventing tinnitus.

Objective To investigate the expression of the preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) gene in acute myeloid leukemia (AML),and to evaluate its applicability in monitoring minimal residual disease (MRD).Methods Bone marrow specimens were collected from 63 cases of de-novo AML,while 34 samples from 11 patients were tracked for 28 months.The level of PRAME mRNA was measured by real time RT-PCR.Results The PRAME gene expressed in 52.4 % (33/63) of de-novo patients,and the positive rate was highest in M3 than that in other subtypes of AML.The expression of PRAME became negative after treatment and increased in the following months before morphology relapse.Conclusion The PRAME gene is highly expressed in AML and could be a useful marker to monitor MRD.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the research status and hotspots of wine processing of Chinese medicine, and to provide reference for its related research. METHODS Related literature about wine processing research in Chinese medicine was retrieved from CNKI and Web of Science (WOS). VOSviewer 1.6.18 and CiteSpace 6.1.1R2 software were used to visualize the core authors, research institutions, keywords, and other contents. RESULTS A total of 962 Chinese literature and 57 English literature were included in the study. In total, the trend in the amount of Chinese and English literature was on the rise during 2000-2022. The analysis of the authors showed that ZHANG Xuelan and CAI Baochang had the most publications in Chinese and English literature. Research institutions were mainly Chinese medicine universities, and Chengdu University of Chinese Medicine and Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were the research institutions with the largest number of Chinese and English literature published. The analysis of keywords in Chinese and English literature showed that the wine-processing research of Chinese medicine mainly focused on wine-processed varieties, chemical constituents, wine-processed process, and quality standards. Response surface method, chroma value, metabolomics, and action mechanism had become current research hotspots. CONCLUSIONS The related research of wine processing for Chinese medicine is still in the development period. In the future, the response surface method to optimize the wine-processed process and the combination of metabolomics with related technologies of other omics to reveal the pharmacodynamic mechanism of wine processing for Chinese medicine is still the future development trend. In the future, cooperation between institutions should be further strengthened, and research on the use of excipients and alcohol should be strengthened. Modern analytical methods should be utilized to enhance the efficiency of wine processing for Chinese medicine, thereby promoting the modernization and internationalization of wine processing for Chinese medicine.
