It is proposed that yangming (阳明) turbid heat and dysfunction of the chong and ren (冲任) vessels are the key pathogenesis underlying abnormal uterine bleeding caused by polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The general principle of treatment is to clear and drain the yangming channel and resolve turbid heat. During the acute bleeding phase, the approach is to clear heat, cool the blood, consolidate the chong vessel, and stop bleeding. During the chronic phase, the focus shifts to resolving phlegm and removing stasis, unblocking and purging qi movement. And during the late stage, the method of boosting qi and nourishing yin, consolidating the root and regulating menstruation is suggested. In clinical practice, the self-formulated Yishen Quzhuo Formula (益肾祛浊方) serves as the foundation, with flexible modifications and adjustments made according to disease stage and individual clinical presentation.

Liver cirrhosis recompensation refers to the process in which patients with decompensated cirrhosis achieve the disappearance of decompensated complications and restoration of liver function and clinical phenotype to a compensated state after etiological treatment or symptomatic treatment. In recent years, with effective control of the etiology of cirrhosis and treatment or prevention of decompensated complications, the clinical significance of recompensation has gained increasing attention. This article elaborates on recompensation from the aspects of definition, diagnostic criteria, influencing factors, mechanisms affecting long-term prognosis, and clinical management strategies, and with reference to the latest research evidence, this article also discusses the core value of recompensation in improving quality of life and reducing the risk of end-stage events, in order to provide a basis for optimizing the comprehensive management of liver cirrhosis.

Senile insomnia is a common clinical disorder. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) primarily attributes the pathogenesis of insomnia to Yang failing to enter Yin aspect and disharmony between Yin and Yang. However, the discussion on insomnia caused by Yang Qi deficiency in elderly patients remains insufficient. According to the theory of extreme Yang in the Huang Di Nei Jing, this paper systematically elucidates the central role of Yang Qi in maintaining mental tranquility and regulating the sleep-wake cycle. It posits that the natural decline of Yang Qi with aging leads to Yang failing to enter Yin aspect or deficient Yang floating upward, which constitutes a key pathogenesis of senile insomnia. From a modern medical perspective, mitochondrial energy metabolism dysfunction is identified as a crucial biological basis. Mitochondrial functional declines result in insufficient adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production and reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation, which disrupts the synthesis of sleep-related neurotransmitters and the expression of circadian clock genes, ultimately leading to sleep disturbances. Furthermore, this sutdy explores the intrinsic connection between Yang Qi deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction, arguing for a high degree of correspondence in their functional and pathological manifestations. Accordingly, the therapeutic principle of warming and tonifying Yang Qi, nourishing the heart and tranquilizing the mild is proposed. This approach employs Yang-warming formulas and acupuncture to regulate the mitochondrial function through multiple targets. Specific mechanisms include enhancing the activity of respiratory chain complexes, activating the mitochondrial autophagy, and mitigating oxidative stress, thereby restoring energy metabolic homeostasis and improving sleep in the elderly. This study provides a new theoretical foundation and a therapeutic strategy for integrating TCM and Western medicine in preventing and treating senile insomnia.

In modern society, the comorbidity of insomnia with amnesia has shown a significantly increasing incidence and become increasingly severe, emerging as a public health issue that endangers people's physical and mental health and quality of life. Anmei Dan (AMD), originally recorded in the Shishi Milu by CHEN Shiduo in the Qing Dynasty, possesses profound theoretical foundations and distinct clinical advantages in ameliorating insomnia with amnesia. Basic research has unequivocally confirmed its definite therapeutic effects on insomnia with amnesia and revealed partial mechanisms. AMD is therefore a veritable classic prescription embodying the principle of treating different diseases with the same method for insomnia and amnesia. However, few researchers have reviewed the related research progress. This article systematically summarized the theoretical connotations of traditional Chinese medicine in treating insomnia with amnesia, delineated the multi-component material basis of AMD in ameliorating insomnia with amnesia (including various chemical components such as ginsenosides, jujubosides, and salvianolic acids), and evaluate its multi-dimensional clinical efficacy (e.g., prolonging total sleep time, improving sleep efficiency, and enhancing memory). Moreover, it systematically summarizes the multi-pathway mechanisms of action. The results indicate that AMD has a clear material basis, definite clinical efficacy, and a favorable safety profile in ameliorating insomnia and amnesia. AMD may exert the therapeutic effect by regulating sleep-wake rhythms, enhancing synaptic plasticity, inhibiting neuroimmune inflammation, and modulating autophagy, oxidative stress, and energy metabolism. In conclusion, AMD exerts synergistic effects through multi-component, multi-dimensional, and multi-pathway approaches, serving as an important prescription for enriching and developing the theory of treating different diseases with the same method for insomnia with amnesia.

ObjectivePhotoacoustic pump-probe imaging can effectively eliminate the interference of blood background signal in traditional photoacoustic imaging, and realize the imaging of weak phosphorescence molecules and their triplet lifetimes in deep tissues. However, background differential noise in photoacoustic pump-probe imaging often leads to large fitting results of phosphorescent molecule concentration and triplet lifetime. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel triplet lifetime fitting method for photoacoustic pump-probe imaging. By extracting the phase of the triplet differential signal and the background noise, the fitting bias caused by the background noise can be effectively corrected. MethodsThe advantages and feasibility of the proposed algorithm are verified by numerical simulation, phantom and in vivo experiments, respectively. ResultsIn the numerical simulation, under the condition of noise intensity being 10% of the signal amplitude, the new method can optimize the fitting deviation from 48.5% to about 5%, and has a higher exclusion coefficient (0.88>0.79), which greatly improves the fitting accuracy. The high specificity imaging ability of photoacoustic pump imaging for phosphorescent molecules has been demonstrated by phantom experiments. In vivo experiments have verified the feasibility of the new fitting method proposed in this paper for fitting phosphoometric lifetime to monitor oxygen partial pressure content during photodynamic therapy of tumors in nude mice. ConclusionThis work will play an important role in promoting the application of photoacoustic pump-probe imaging in biomedicine.

Objective To explore the underlying mechanisms by which time-restricted feeding(TRF)attenuates dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)-induced colitis in mice via modulation of regenerating islet-derived protein 3 gamma(Reg3γ)expression and gut microbiota.Methods Six-week-old C57BL/6 mice were stratified by body weight and randomized into ad libitum feeding(AL)and TRF groups(n=7).The AL mice were given unrestricted food access,whereas the TRF mice were allowed feeding only during 00:00 and 08:00 daily,for totally 4 weeks.Mouse colitis model was induced at the fourth week by adding 2.5%dextran sodium sulfate(DSS)in drinking water for 6 d.Disease severity and the effects of TRF were assessed with disease activity index(DAI)scoring,colon length measurement,HE staining and histopathological scoring,and mRNA expression levels of regenerating islet-derived 3 gamma(Reg3g)and inflammatory cytokines in colonic tissues.Another 14 mice were randomized into AL plus antibiotic cocktail(AL+ABX)and TRF plus antibiotic cocktail(TRF+ABX)groups,with 7 animals in each group.ABX was administered to deplete gut microbiota and evaluate the microbiota dependence of TRF in attenuating colitis.Fecal samples from AL and TRF mice were analyzed by 16S ribosomal RNA sequencing(16S rRNA-seq),and serum lipopolysaccharide(LPS)level was measured.The colonic epithelial cells were collected for RNA-seq.Results After modeling,the AL mice exhibited typical colitis symptoms,such as weight loss,diarrhea,and hematochezia.TRF intervention significantly attenuated these above symptoms,with lower DAI scores from day 4 post-modeling(P<0.001),reduced colon shortening(P<0.01),preserved tissue architecture,and decreased inflammation.RT-qPCR analysis showed that TRF down-regulated colonic mRNA expression levels of Reg3g and pro-inflammatory cytokines(IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α)(P<0.05)while up-regulated that of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10(P<0.000 1)when compared with the corresponding levels in AL mice.ABX treatment led no significant differences between the AL+ABX and TRF+ABX groups in term of DAI score,colon length,or histopathology.Obviously down-regulated Reg3g was observed in the TRF+ABX group than the AL+ABX group(P<0.05),whereas L-1β,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-10 showed no notable changes.16S rRNA-seq revealed that TRF markedly reshaped gut microbiota composition,with increased Gram-positive bacterial abundance,reduced Gram-negative bacteria,with concomitant lower serum LPS level(P<0.001).RNA-seq also indicated significant suppression of NF-κB and other inflammation-related signaling pathways in the TRF group.Conclusion TRF attenuates DSS-induced colitis in mice by downr-egulating Reg3γ expression,reshaping gut microbiota,and reducing serum LPS level,and thereby suppressing NF-κB-mediated inflammatory signaling pathways.

Nitrogen oxides(NOx=NO+NO2)are important precursors of ozone(O3),and NOx and its oxides together constitute reactive nitrogen oxides(NOy)in the atmosphere.A comprehensive understanding of the total NOy level in the atmosphere is of great significance for a deeper understanding of the atmospheric nitrogen cycle and oxidation,as well as for formulating strategies for air pollution prevention and control.In this work,a thermal decomposition-broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy(TD-BBCEAS)technique for online measurement of total NOy in the atmosphere was developed.With this method,the NOy was efficiently converted into NO2,and the total NOy concentration in the atmosphere was indirectly obtained by measuring NO2.Focusing on the key factors affecting the measurement of total NOy,the influence of NO titration efficiency and other NOy component TD efficiency on measurement accuracy was emphasized.By changing the oxygen(O2)flow rate through the mercury lamp to alter the O3 concentration for titrating NO,the conversion efficiency of NO was evaluated.At O2 flow rate of 6 mL/min,the conversion efficiency of NO was greater than 99%.TD efficiency testing and analysis on NO2,peroxyacetyl nitrate(PAN),nitric acid(HNO3),and nitrous acid(HONO),which account for a large proportion of atmospheric NOy components,was carried out using 680℃as the optimal TD temperature for efficient conversion of NOy.With NO and HONO sample gases as typical verification gases,the conversion efficiency of NOy and the accuracy of NOy measurement by TD-BBCEAS system were verified by switching the on and off modes of mercury lamp and TD device.At integration time of 60 s,the detection limit of the system for NOy was 2.83×1010 molecules/cm3(60 s,2σ).A comparative measurement of actual atmospheric NOy was conducted between the TD-BBCEAS system and the NOy analyzer.The observation results showed a correlation coefficient(R2)of 0.98 and a slope of 0.93,further verifying the feasibility and accuracy of applying the TD-BBCEAS system to measurement of total NOy.
