Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as glycolipid metabolism disorder. However, its widespread application has been hindered by the unclear biological essence of TCM syndromes and therapeutic mechanisms. As an emerging interdisciplinary field, phenomics integrates multi-dimensional data including genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome. When combined with TCM's holistic philosophy, it forms TCM phenomics, providing novel approaches to reveal the biological connotation of TCM syndromes and the mechanisms of herbal medicine. Taking glycolipid metabolism disorder as an example, this paper explores the application of TCM phenomics in glycolipid metabolism disorder. By analyzing molecular characteristics of related syndromes, TCM phenomics identifies differentially expressed genes, metabolites, and gut microbiota biomarkers to elucidate the dynamic evolution patterns of syndromes. Simultaneously, it deciphers the multi-target regulatory networks of herbal formulas, demonstrating their therapeutic effects through mechanisms including modulation of insulin signaling pathways, improvement of gut microbiota imbalance, and suppression of inflammatory responses. Current challenges include the subjective nature of syndrome diagnosis, insufficient standardization of animal models, and lack of integrated multi-omics analysis. Future research should employ machine learning, multimodal data integration, and cross-omics longitudinal studies to establish quantitative diagnostic systems for syndromes, promote the integration of precision medicine in TCM and western medicine, and accelerate the modernization of TCM.

Kaposi sarcoma is an endothelial cell-derived malignant tumor caused by latent infection with human herpesvirus 8 (HHV-8) and reactivation under host immunosuppression. Solid organ transplant recipients are a high-risk group for Kaposi sarcoma. Compared with non-organ transplant recipients, post-transplant Kaposi sarcoma is often more aggressive and visceral involvement is more common. However, due to the relative rarity of Kaposi sarcoma after transplantation, routine pre-transplant serological screening for HHV-8 antibodies in donors and recipients and post-transplant prophylaxis for high-risk groups have not yet been carried out. And there is a lack of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of post-transplant Kaposi sarcoma. This article reviews the epidemiology, clinical manifestations, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment experience of Kaposi sarcoma in solid organ transplant recipients in recent years, aiming to attract the attention of transplant physicians and provide a reference for the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

The emergence of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) system represents a revolutionary paradigm shift in molecular diagnostics, offering transformative potential for RNA analysis within the rigorous demands of forensic science. Conventional forensic RNA detection methodologies, such as reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) or microarray analysis, are significantly hampered by inherent limitations including complex, multi-step protocols requiring sophisticated laboratory infrastructure, pronounced susceptibility to inhibitors prevalent in complex forensic matrices (e.g., humic acids, heme, indigo dyes), and often inadequate sensitivity for trace or degraded samples typical of crime scenes, thereby failing to meet the critical operational imperatives of forensic practice: rapidity, high specificity, sensitivity, portability, and robustness against interference. This review posits that CRISPR-Cas-based RNA detection technology provides a groundbreaking solution by leveraging the programmable, sequence-specific recognition conferred by the synergistic interaction between a designed guide RNA (gRNA) and Cas effector proteins (e.g., Cas12a, Cas13a, Cas14). Upon target RNA binding, specific Cas enzymes undergo conformational activation, exhibiting collateral cleavage activity―a unique catalytic amplification mechanism where the enzyme non-specifically cleaves surrounding reporter molecules, enabling ultra-high sensitivity. To further enhance detection limits, CRISPR-Cas systems are strategically integrated with isothermal pre-amplification techniques like recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) or loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), which efficiently amplify target RNA at constant temperatures, eliminating the need for thermal cyclers. This powerful cascade―isothermal pre-amplification followed by CRISPR-mediated sequence-specific recognition and collateral signal amplification―achieves exceptional sensitivity, often down to the single-molecule (attomolar) level, while drastically reducing analysis time to potentially 30-60 min. Crucially, the compatibility of CRISPR-Cas detection with simple, equipment-free readout systems, such as lateral flow strips (LFS) for visual colorimetric results or portable fluorescence/electrochemical sensors, facilitates true point-of-need (PON) forensic analysis directly at crime scenes, morgues, or field labs. This enables rapid applications like specific body fluid identification (e.g., distinguishing menstrual blood via miRNA, identifying saliva via mRNA), post-mortem interval (PMI) estimation through RNA degradation/expression patterns, donor age inference via age-related RNA markers, tissue identification, and microbial forensics, thereby accelerating investigative leads, minimizing sample degradation risks, and optimizing resource allocation. However, significant challenges impede widespread adoption, including persistent environmental interference inhibiting enzymes, fluctuations in Cas/amplification enzyme activity affecting reproducibility, a critical lack of standardized protocols and validated quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) frameworks essential for forensic reliability and court admissibility, and current limitations in multiplex detection capability. Consequently, future research must prioritize overcoming multiplexing bottlenecks for comprehensive analysis, enhancing system robustness through Cas protein engineering and optimized reagents, developing fully integrated, sample-to-answer microfluidic or lateral flow devices for user-friendly field deployment, and collaboratively establishing universally accepted validation guidelines, performance standards, and stringent QA/QC procedures. Furthermore, the urgent development of clear ethical guidelines governing the use of this highly sensitive technology, particularly concerning RNA data privacy and potential misuse, is imperative. This review systematically outlines the principles, forensic applications, current limitations, and future trajectories of CRISPR-RNA detection, with the authors’ conviction that focused efforts addressing these challenges will translate this technology into a cornerstone of next-generation forensic practice, driving unprecedented efficiency and innovation in field investigations and laboratory analysis to enhance justice delivery.

The view of youth moral cultivation clearly defines the scope of “morality” and puts forward the requirement of “cultivating morality” for the youth. This is a systematic concept aligned with the main theme of the times and is worth deeply exploring and integrating into the practice of medical ethics education for medical students. With the requirements for innovation and development in medical education， the cultivation of medical students has also been endowed with new connotations. Guided by the connotations of the view of youth moral cultivation and aligned with the objective requirements of medical students’ cultivation， this paper leveraged the core values of traditional Chinese medicine as its entry point. It also explored the realization paths of medical ethics education for medical students that reflect advantages， highlight characteristics， and maintain clear orientation through strengthening the medical ethics education of “dedicated study of medicine，” “honesty and prudence in words and deeds，” “benevolence in heart and skills，” and “doctor-patient trust and harmony，” aiming to cultivate guardians of people’s health with noble medical ethics and superb medical skills.

Aim To investigate the effects of hedysar-um polybotrys polysacchcaide(HPS)on gastric muco-sal inflammation of diabetic gastroparesis(DGP)rats and its possible mechanism.Methods A total of 62 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control group(12)and the modeling group(50).Except for the control group,the remaining rats were given multi-ple intraperitoneal injections of streptozotocin(25 mg ·kg-1 for three consecutive days)and irregular feed-ing of high-sugar and high-fat diet to replicate DGP model.The model rats were randomly divided into the model group(intragastatically purified water),low,medium and high dose HPS groups(50,100,200 mg ·kg-1·d-1)and the metformin group(90 mg· kg-1·d-1),respectively,and the control group was intragastrically treated with equal volume of purified water once a day for eight weeks.The pathological morphology of gastric mucosa was observed by HE stai-ning;the contents of TNF-α,IL-6,GAS and MTL in gastric mucosa were detected by ELISA.The expres-sion of JAK2 and STAT3mRNA in gastric mucosa was detected by RT-PCR.The levels of JAK2 and STAT3 proteins and their phosphorylation in gastric mucosa were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the control group,the gastric mucosa of the model group showed a large number of inflammatory cells in-filtrated by HE staining.The contents of TNF-α and IL-6 significantly increased(P＜0.01),while the contents of GAS and MTL significantly decreased(P＜0.01).The mRNA expressions of JAK2 and STAT3 significantly increased(P＜0.05).p-JAK2and p-STAT3 significantly increased(P＜0.01).Compared with the model group,gastric mucosal inflammation was improved in each administration group.The con-tents of TNF-α and IL-6 decreased significantly,while the contents of GAS and MTL increased significantly.The mRNA expressions of JAK2 and STAT3 were sig-nificantly reduced.The expressions of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 significantly decreased(P＜0.05).Conclu-sions HPS can improve gastric mucosal inflammation and repair gastric mucosal damage in rats,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway.

Aim To investigate the effect of recombi-nant glycoprotein hormone β5/α2(rCGH)on lipolysis in 3T3-L1 adipocytes,and explore the underlying mechanism.Methods 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were cultured and induced to differentiate into mature adipo-cytes,then treated with different concentrations of rCGH for 24 h in vitro.Cell viability of 3T3-L1 adipo-cytes was evaluated by CCK-8 assay,the levels of in-tracellular triglyceride(TG)and glycerol in the culture supernatant were measured by enzymatic method,and the changes of lipid droplets were observed by oil red O staining.The expression levels of HSL and ATGL lipo-lytic proteins in adipocytes were detected by Western blot.To carry out the intervention experiment with dif-ferent concentrations of rCGH with or without the PKA inhibitor,H89,on the mature 3T3-L1 adipocytes,the cultured cells were divided into the control group,H89 pre treatment group,1 μmol·L-1 rCGH group,and(1 μmol·L-1 rCGH+H89)combined intervention group.The contents of intracellular TG and free glycer-ol were measured by enzymatic method,and the ex-pression of CREB and lipolysis-related proteins was de-tected using Western blot.Results Different concen-trations of rCGH(0.25,0.5,1,and 2 μmol·L-1)had no significant effect on the cell viability of adipo-cytes(P＞0.05).Compared with the control group,the treatment with rCGH significantly decreased the size of lipid droplets and intracellular TG content,while significantly elevated glycerol concentration in cell supernatant.rCGH treatment also stimulated the protein expression of p-HSL,ATGL,and p-PKA.In addition,the addition of a PKA inhibitor,H89,atten-uated the effects of rCGH on free glycerol level,intra-cellular TG content,and the expression of p-HSL,p-PLIN1,and p-CREB.Conclusions rCGH enhances the lipolysis of 3T3-L1 adipocytes by up-regulating the activities of HSL,ATGL and PKA,promoting glycerol release,inhibiting TG synthesis and lipid accumula-tion,and its mechanism of action is related to the acti-vation of cAMP/PKA/CREB signaling pathway.

Objective To investigate the changes of coagulation,fibrinolysis and platelet indexes in ovarian cancer patients before and after neoadjuvant chemotherapy,and to analyze the risk relationship between relevant indexes before treatment and the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy(NACT).Methods Patients with ovarian cancer admitted to Xi'an Fengcheng Hospital,from March 2020 to March 2023 were included as the ovarian cancer group,and female patients who underwent physical examination in the same period were selected as the control group according to a 2∶1 ratio.Prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),fibrinogen(FIB),platelet distribution width(PDW),platelet hematocrit(PCT),platelet(PLT)and mean platelet volume(MPV)were compared between the two groups.The changes of these indexes were compared before and after NACT,at different clinical stages and before and after NACT with different efficacy effects.Moreover,they were divided into effective and ineffective groups according to their treatment efficacy.Logistic regression was used to explore the relationship between the parameters and NACT efficacy;receiver operating characteristic curve was drawn to predict the value of NACT efficacy.Results A total of 144 patients were included,with 96 cases in the ovarian cancer group and 48 in the control group.The FIB,PLT and MPV of patients in the ovarian cancer group were higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The PT,TT,APTT,FIB and PLT of ovarian cancer patients after NACT were lower than those before NACT(P<0.05).FIB and PLT of stage Ⅱ patients were lower than those of stage Ⅲ before and after NACT,and the PT,TT,APTT,FIB and PLT of the effective group were lower than those of the ineffective group before and after NACT,and the PT,TT,APTT,FIB and PLT of the two groups after NACT were lower than those before NACT(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that high PT,TT,APTT,FIB and PLT before NACT were independent risk factors for NACT ineffectiveness(P<0.05).The area under the curve of PT,TT,APTT,FIB and PLT before NACT to predict the effect of NACT were 0.713(sensitivity of 80.95%,specificity of 69.33%),0.756(sensitivity of 71.43%,specificity of 82.67%)and 0.787(sensitivity of 76.19%,specificity of 70.67%),0.727(sensitivity of 71.43%,specificity of 84.00%),0.794(sensitivity of 80.95%,specificity of 76.00%),respectively.Conclusion Changes in coagulation and fibrinolytic function and platelet parameters in ovarian cancer patients after NACT are associated with clinical stages and NACT effect.High levels of PT,TT,APTT,FIB and PLT before NACT are important reasons affecting NACT effect.Constructing the risk prediction model of NACT efficacy in ovarian cancer patients based on the above five parameters can provide a reference for clinical practice.

Objective With the widespread of transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR)in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis(AS),the life-cycle management has become a major determinant of prognosis.Methods A total of 408 AS patients who underwent successfully TAVR from June 2021 to August 2023 were consecutively enrolled in Hospital Valve Intervention Center.Patients were assigned to the Usual Care(UC)group between June 2021 and October 2022,while patients were assigned to the Heart Multi-parameter Monitoring(HMM)group between November 2022 and August 2023.The primary endpoint was defined as composite endpoint within 6 months post-TAVR,including all-cause death,cardiovascular death,stroke/transient ischemic attack,conduction block,myocardial infarction,heart failure rehospitalization,and major bleeding events.Secondary endpoints were the time interval(in hours)from event occurrence to medical consultation or advice and patient satisfaction.Statistical analysis was performed using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models.Results The incidence of primary endpoint in HMM group was significantly lower than that in UC group(8.9％vs.17.7％,P=0.016),the driving event was the rate of diagnosis and recognition of conduction block.The average time intervals from event occurrence to receiving medical advice were 3.02 h in HHM group vs.97.09 h in UC group(P＜0.001).Using cardiac monitoring devices and smart healthcare platforms provided significant improving in patients long-term management(HR 0.439,95％CI 0.244-0.790,P=0.006).Conclusions The utilization of cardiac monitoring devices and smart healthcare platforms effectively alerted clinical events and improved postoperative quality of life during long-term management post TAVR.

Objective To monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to antimicrobial agents in tertiary hospitals in major regions of China in 2022.Methods Clinical isolates from 58 hospitals in China were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using a unified protocol based on disc diffusion method or automated testing systems.Results were interpreted using the 2022 Clinical &Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)breakpoints.Results A total of 318 013 clinical isolates were collected from January 1,2022 to December 31,2022,of which 29.5％were gram-positive and 70.5％were gram-negative.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains in Staphylococcus aureus,Staphylococcus epidermidis and other coagulase-negative Staphylococcus species(excluding Staphylococcus pseudintermedius and Staphylococcus schleiferi)was 28.3％,76.7％and 77.9％,respectively.Overall,94.0％of MRSA strains were susceptible to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole and 90.8％of MRSE strains were susceptible to rifampicin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were found.Enterococcus faecalis showed significantly lower resistance rates to most antimicrobial agents tested than Enterococcus faecium.A few vancomycin-resistant strains were identified in both E.faecalis and E.faecium.The prevalence of penicillin-susceptible Streptococcus pneumoniae was 94.2％in the isolates from children and 95.7％in the isolates from adults.The resistance rate to carbapenems was lower than 13.1％in most Enterobacterales species except for Klebsiella,21.7％-23.1％of which were resistant to carbapenems.Most Enterobacterales isolates were highly susceptible to tigecycline,colistin and polymyxin B,with resistance rates ranging from 0.1％to 13.3％.The prevalence of meropenem-resistant strains decreased from 23.5％in 2019 to 18.0％in 2022 in Pseudomonas aeruginosa,and decreased from 79.0％in 2019 to 72.5％in 2022 in Acinetobacter baumannii.Conclusions The resistance of clinical isolates to the commonly used antimicrobial agents is still increasing in tertiary hospitals.However,the prevalence of important carbapenem-resistant organisms such as carbapenem-resistant K.pneumoniae,P.aeruginosa,and A.baumannii showed a downward trend in recent years.This finding suggests that the strategy of combining antimicrobial resistance surveillance with multidisciplinary concerted action works well in curbing the spread of resistant bacteria.

Bluetongue virus is an arbovirus that seriously harms ruminants such as sheep,this study aims to investigate the molecular mechanism of bluetongue virus infection and host cell interferon antiviral immune response.The study was conducted to characterize the mRNA expression of inter-feron pathway genes by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR,as well as Western blot analysis of MDA5,TRAF3,RIG-Ⅰ,and TBK1 protein expression in BHK-21 cells induced by BTV with a multiplicity of infections(MOI)of 1 for 18,24,and 36 h.The results showed that the most pro-nounced changes in the expression of interferon signaling pathway genes were observed at 24 h of induction,the gene mRNA expression levels of the IFN-α,IFN-β,RIG-Ⅰ,TBK1,MDA5,VISA,and TRAF3 genes were upregulated.However,the mRNA expression levels of IKKε and TRAF6 genes were downregulated.At the protein level,MDA5 and TBK1 proteins were upregulated while RIG-1 and TRAF3 proteins were downregulated,which showed that BTV infection induces a typeⅠ interferon immune response in BHK-21 cells.This study lays the foundation for further exploring the antiviral immunity mechanism of IFN-Ⅰ signaling pathway regulatory genes in host cells infected with BTV infection.
