The Dunhuang manuscript Fuxing Jue takes the "Tangye Jingfa Tu" as the core of its theory on prescription and compatibility. Its medication principles mainly include the "five elements principle of tonifying and purging" and the "five elements principle of elimination and transformation". Based on the differentiation of deficiency and excess in the five Zang organs， it flexibly applies medicinal properties， usage， and flavor transformation for tonifying and purging， forming its unique method of medication and compatibility. In Taiyin disease， "fullness syndrome" often occurs together with "diarrhea"， and these two conditions also serve as the primary indications for the middle-regulating formulas. Among them， Lizhong Wan （Tang） mainly address Taiyin deficiency. The three Xiexin Tang （Banxia Xiexin Tang， Gancao Xiexin Tang， Shengjiang Xiexin Tang） address Taiyin deficiency accompanied by pathogenic excess. The Sini Tangand Tongmai Sini Tang primarily treat dysfunction of the liver， spleen， and kidney with impaired opening and closing of Taiyin， manifesting as diarrhea. The medicinal flavors of middle-regulating formulas are pungent， sweet， and bitter， acting directly on the spleen of Taiyin. The pungent flavor induces purging of the spleen， sweet flavor tonifies the spleen， and bitter flavor eliminates lumps. When the constituent medicinal units of middle-regulating formulas are unified， the ratio of pungent to sweet flavors reflects the tonic and purgative strength of the formula. In addition， the two decoction methods， "short-term decoction to extract Qi" and "long-term decoction to extract flavor"， also influence the formula's tonifying and purgative effects. Based on the composition of flavors and special decoction methods， this article discusses the differences in the use of middle-regulating formulas for treating "“fullness syndrome" versus "diarrhea". Dysfunction of the spleen can give rise to various diseases. Therefore， middle-regulating formulas are not limited to treating "deficiency， cold， and dampness" syndromes. Later generations of physicians further modified Lizhong Tang to treat "excess， heat， and dryness" syndromes， laying a solid foundation for more flexible and effective clinical application of middle-regulating formulas.

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.

Based on the theory of "disease of both blood and water" in Essentials from the Golden Cabinet （《金匮要略》）， and in combination with the dynamic syndrome evolution of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction （HFpEF）， this paper systematically clarifies the pathomechanism of HFpEF， characterized by yang deficiency as the root， blood stasis as the pivotal factor and water retention as the manifestation. Accordingly， the therapeutic principles have been proposed， which are warming yang and banking up original qi to consolidate the root， activating blood and unblocking collaterals to smooth the mechanism， and promoting urination and regulating pivot to remove the branch. On this basis， a compound formula structure of "one monarch， one minister and one assistant" is established， forming an integrated intervention strategy that synergistically combines the three methods of warming yang， activating blood， and promoting urination through combined classical formulas. Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤）， which warms yang and dissolves rheum， is used to consolidate the root and directly target the source of yang deficiency， serving as the monarch； Guizhi Fuling Pills （桂枝茯苓丸）， which activates blood， promotes urination and unblocks the pivot， assists in interrupting the binding of blood stasis and water retention， serving as the minister； Tingli Dazao Xiefei Decoction （葶苈大枣泻肺汤）， which regulates qi， disperses retained fluids， and eliminates the manifestation， alleviates acute water-retention symptoms， serving as the assistant. This compound formula is warming without being drying， diuretic without being drastic， and dispels stasis without consuming blood， thereby achieving the therapeutic effects of warming yang， activating blood， and promoting urination.

Objective: To systematically evaluate the application effectiveness of the full disinfection process in blood stations, identify key optimization links, and provide a scientific evidence for the formulation of specialized disinfection and hygiene standards for blood collection and supply institutions. Methods: On-site microbiological monitoring was conducted using techniques such as the plate settling method and cotton swab method. Stratified random sampling was performed on eight key control points: including evironmental air, hand hygiene, skin disinfection, blood transport boxes, pressure steam sterilization, sewage treatment, ultraviolet disinfection, and sterile swabs. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0. Measurement data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation(x-±s), and inter-group comparisons were conducted using t-tests or analysis of variance (ANOVA). Count data were expressed as rates, and inter-group comparisons were conducted using the χ test. Trend analysis was performed using the Cochran-Armitage test, with a significance level of α=0.05. Results: The colony removal rate of plasma air disinfection machines (94.2%±0.8%) was significantly higher than that of the ultraviolet group (P<0.05). The qualification rate of quick-drying disinfectant hand was 100% within 30 days after opening the bottle, but decreased to 93.3% after 40 days (P<0.01). The qualification rate of disinfection for blood transport boxes using 500 mg/L chlorine-containing disinfectant (100%) was significant higher 75% alcohol (60%, P< 0.05). Skin disinfection with 2% alcoholic chlorhexidine gluconate balanced effectiveness and user experience (satisfaction score 4.8±0.3). The qualification rates for core procedures such as pressure steam sterilization and sewage treatment were both 100%. Conclusion: The current disinfection procedures in blood collection and supply institutions are reliable. The effective usage period of hand disinfectants, disinfection methods for transport boxes, and usage duration of sterile swabs are the main points for optimization. It is recommended that the opened hand disinfectants be used for ≤30 days and that chlorine-containing disinfectants be prioritized for wiping transport boxes, providing empirical support for the revision of protocols and the formulation of standards.

Objective To construct a risk prediction model for post-stroke dysphagia(PSD)based on clinical and laboratory indicators of elderly stroke patients with explainable machine learning.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 3994 stroke patients hospitalized in Depart-ment of Neurology of First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital from October 2010 to December 2021.Among them,the 1390 cases admitted during January 2019 and December 2021 were assigned into an external validation set,and the 2604 cases admitted during October 2010 to January 2019 were into a training group.Those from the training group were further divided into a training set(1823 cases)and an internal validation set(781 cases)in a 7∶3 ratio,and also grouped into a PSD subgroup(773 cases)and a non-PSD group(1831 cases).With occurrence of swallowing difficulties as an endpoint,risk prediction models were constructed using random for-est(RF),eXtreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost),Support Vector Machine(SVM),and logistic regression.ROC curve analysis was employed to evaluate the performance of our models.After the optimal model was selected,SHAP was employed to interpret feature contributions.Results There were significant differences in muscle strength,right/left-sided stroke,and area of brain in-jury between the PSD and the non-PSD groups(P＜0.01).The PSD group had obviously larger proportions of hypertension,diabetes,and drinking history,increased neutrophil counts,and de-creased levels of potassium and albumin when compared with the non-PSD group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age,drinking history,diabetes,hyper-tension,muscle strength grade,area of brain injury,hemispheric stroke,neutrophil count,and al-bumin and potassium levels were risk factors for PSD(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The external validation results showed that the area under curve value of the RF model,XGBoost model,SVM model,and our logistic model was 0.883,0.902,0.877,and 0.868,respectively.The distribution of SHAP value showed that drinking history,hypertension and diabetes were positively correlated with PSD risk;Muscle strength was negatively correlated with the risk;Age growth was positively correlated with the risk;Subtentorial lesions showed stronger predictive efficacy than supratentorial lesions and entire lesions;The bilateral and right-sided stroke had higher risk for PSD than the left-sided stroke.Conclusion The model based on the XGBoost model shows best performance in predicting the risk for swallowing disorders in elderly patients after stroke.

OBJECTIVE To screen characteristic peaks of hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae(hvKP)using ma-trix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS)combined with EX-Smartspec software and establish a rapid detection model for hvKP.METHODS Based on identification criteria of any positive peg-344,iroB,iucA,rmpA,prmpA2 genes or siderophore production＞30 μg/ml,89 hvKP and 72 classical Klebsiella pneumoniae(cKP)strains were initially collected and validated for virulence via Galleria mellonella assays.A diagnostic model distinguishing hvKP from cKP was constructed using EX-Smartspec soft-ware and a convolutional neural network algorithm,integrating characteristic peaks and cluster analysis to provide a rapid and accurate clinical diagnostic tool.RESULTS MALDI-TOF MS analysis identified a characteristic hvKP peak at(3 835±100)ppm.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve analysis revealed optimal performance in distinguishing hvKP with an area under the curve(AUC)=0.741.When AUC ≥0.089,the model demonstra-ted high sensitivity(86.41％),specificity(69.90％),accuracy(78.16％),positive predictive value(74.17％),and negative predictive value(83.72％)in differentiating hvKP from cKP.Cluster analysis further validated the model's classification accuracy.Additionally,the typing classification model exhibited high accuracy(approxi-mately 0.95 and 0.90 in training and validation phases,respectively)and low loss values(-0.18 and 0.30).Val-idation of 6 randomly selected hvKP and 5 cKP strains showed a 100.00％pass rate.CONCLUSION The estab-lished diagnostic model for hvKP and cKP provides a rapid and accurate clinical tool for timely treatment of hvKP-related infections.

There is a close relationship between cardiovascular disease and psychological disease in pathogenesis,treatment and prognosis,but the specific pathological mechanism is not clear.This article explored the understanding of heart failure with anxiety and depression in TCM based on the theory of"deficient qi stagnation",and discussed the pathological mechanism and treatment methods of micro-inflammatory state in heart failure with anxiety and depression in combination with relevant research in both TCM and Western medicine.It is believed that"deficient qi"is the internal factor for the onset of heart failure with anxiety and depression,and"stagnation"is an important pathological condition for the onset.Treatment can be carried out by tonifying qi and blood,nourishing yin and warming yang to replenish"deficient qi",and regulating qi,resolving phlegm,promoting blood circulation,removing blood stasis and promoting diuresis to unblock"stagnation",which can provide theoretical reference for related research and integrated treatment of traditional Chinese and Western medicine on this disease.
