Chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG), a premalignant gastric condition, represents a critical stage in inflammation-cancer transformation. In this pathological process, mitochondrial damage serves as a key mediator in the inflammation-driven transformation of normal gastric mucosal epithelial cells into gastric cancer cells, while the dysregulation of the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) axis plays a key role in perpetuating the vicious cycle of inflammation-mitochondrial damage. The classical theory of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), vigorous fire consuming Qi, aptly encapsulates this pathological feature. The essence of this theory lies in the struggle between pathogenic and vital factors, wherein vigorous fire shares similarities with chronic inflammation and may be regarded as a driving force behind inflammation-cancer transformation. Qi reflects the mitochondrial function, and consuming Qi signifies structural and functional impairment of mitochondria. Thus, this theory accurately summarizes the pathological characteristics of inflammation-mitochondrial damage during CAG progression. Building upon this theoretical framework, the theory of vigorous fire consuming Qi provides a holistic understanding of CAG pathogenesis. Reviewing the clinical expertise of TCM master YANG Chunbo in treating spleen-stomach disorders, this paper further elucidates its therapeutic implications: modulating systemic inflammatory responses to restore gastric mucosal homeostasis and targeting mitochondrial damage as a pivotal intervention to delay CAG progression. Clinically, achieving dynamic equilibrium between fire and Qi is essential, mitigating excessive inflammation without compromising vital Qi, while reinforcing Qi without exacerbating pathological fire. This approach offers novel insights for developing preventive and therapeutic strategies against CAG.

Specification for Quality Control in Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinical Trials(GB/T 47336-2026) is the first national standard in the field of clinical research on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), aims to address the core issue that the quality shortcomings of current TCM clinical research restrict the transformation of achievements and international recognition. Through the interpretation of the core contents of this standard, including its scope of application, graded quality control system, TCM-specific quality control requirements, implementation and responsible entities, responsibilities of quality control personnel, formulation of quality control plans, critical nodes of quality control, and quality control archive management, it is believed that the promotion and implementation of this standard are of great significance for improving the standard system of TCM clinical research, enhancing research quality, optimizing the quality management model, and promoting the internationalization process of TCM. Meanwhile, the implementation paths for the standard are discussed, including carrying out pilot applications in institutions, establishing publicity, implementation, and training mechanisms, encouraging multi-party collaborative supervision, and setting up implementation feedback mechanisms. On this basis, the challenges that may be encountered during implementation, such as resource input pressure, difficulties in implementing TCM-specific quality control, and a relative shortage of interdisciplinary composite talents, are sorted out, and corresponding strategies are proposed, which can provide references for relevant researchers and practitioners.

6.Progress of impaired memory suppression in patients with depressive disorders
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2025;45(10):1378-1382
The intentional suppression of memory retrieval to achieve directed forgetting is a crucial adaptive function for individuals.In psychotherapy theory,such active forgetting is often associated with trauma,where in individuals actively exclude trauma-related negative memories from awareness to reduce unpleasant emotional experiences.Based on the"go/no-go"task paradigm,researchers developed the"think/no-think"(TNT)paradigm,and through this paradigm,they have revealed that individuals can achieve active forgetting by suppressing the retrieval of previously encoded memories.Patients with depressive disorders often exhibit cognitive processing biases toward negative information.Compared to healthy populations,they demonstrate impaired memory retrieval suppression in TNT tasks,especially for negative memories.This deficit in retrieval suppression makes negative memories more susceptible to reactivation,triggering negative emotions and perpetuating a vicious cycle.Relevant neuroimaging results show that during memory retrieval suppression,the lateral prefrontal lobe exerts top-down control through relevant regions to modulate memory processing of hippocampus,thereby blocking intentional recall.Abnormalities in the prefrontal-hippocampal inhibitory pathway and hyperactivation of the amygdala in depressed individuals may be the underlying neural mechanisms for their impaired suppression of negative memory retrieval.This article provides a review focusing on the negative memory bias exhibited in depressed individuals in the TNT task and the exploration of its underlying mechanisms.It summarizes relevant research findings with the aim of offering references for the development of precise psychotherapies and novel approaches targeting the improvement of specific symptom clusters.

Peri-implant keratinized mucosa (PIKM) augmentation refers to surgical procedures aimed at increasing the width of PIKM. Consensus reports emphasize the necessity of maintaining a minimum width of PIKM to ensure long-term peri-implant health. Currently, several surgical techniques have been validated for their effectiveness in increasing PIKM. However, the selection and application of PIKM augmentation methods may present challenges for dental practitioners due to heterogeneity in surgical techniques, variations in clinical scenarios, and anatomical differences. Therefore, clear guidelines and considerations for PIKM augmentation are needed. This expert consensus focuses on the commonly employed surgical techniques for PIKM augmentation and the factors influencing their selection at second-stage surgery. It aims to establish a standardized framework for assessing, planning, and executing PIKM augmentation procedures, with the goal of offering evidence-based guidance to enhance the predictability and success of PIKM augmentation.
