Based on the theory of 'spleen governing the containment of blood' in The Classic of Difficult Issues （《难经》）， it is proposed that medication toxicity damaging the middle jiao （焦） and failure of the spleen to contain blood constitute the core pathogenesis of cancer therapy induced thrombocytopenia （CTIT）. It is believed that the anti-tumor drug toxicity directly hits middle jiao， leading to spleen qi depletion， impairment of transportation and transformation， and insufficiency of the source of blood production. Consequently， the vessels and collaterals are deprived of nourishment and become structurally damaged. Blood fails to be contained and stored within the vessels， resulting in extravasation beyond the vascular system. Persistent retention of drug toxicity may further cause stasis due to blood deviating from its normal pathway and gradually consume the essence. In view of this root deficiency with branch excess， it is proposed that the treatment should focus on fortifying spleen， boosting qi and containing blood， with the aim of restoring spleen and stomach transportation functions， repairing vascular damage， and recovering the spleen's blood-containing function. According to individual syndrome patterns， prescriptions may be supplemented with herbs that stabilize vessels and consolidate collaterals， remove stasis and promote regeneration， and replenish essence and nourish marrow， providing new perspectives for the prevention and treatment of CTIT with traditional Chinese medicine.

Temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis(TMJOA)is a chronic degenerative disorder.Although current clinical interven-tions can effectively mitigate disease progression,they remain limited in fully reversing formed pathological structural alterations.Mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes(MSC-Exos),which mimic the primary therapeutic functions of mesenchymal stem cells,exhibit advantages such as excellent biocompatibility,low immunogenicity,and absence of cytotoxicity.In TMJOA,MSC-Exos exert therapeutic effects by modulating chondrocytes,immune cells,and the cartilage matrix.However,the clinical application of MSC-Exos still faces certain limitations.Enhancing their therapeutic efficacy has become a central research focus in this field.This review summarizes existing therapeutic strategies for TMJOA and explores the potential applications of MSC-Exos in TMJOA management,aiming to provide insights for future research.

Objective:This study aims to establish an animal model that accurately replicates the clinical symptoms and pathologi-cal changes of late-stage human TMJOA,with the goal of providing a standardized and reliable animal experimental method for sub-sequent research on the disease.Methods:Forty-eight male New Zealand rabbits aged 4 to 6 months were randomly divided into a model group and a sham group.The animals in the model group underwent bilateral temporomandibular joint disc perforation surgery,while the animals in the sham group underwent a sham surgery.The modeling effects were assessed at 4,8,and 12 weeks post-surgery using nociceptive behavior assessments,passive mouth opening measurements,histological analysis(HE,Safranin O-fast green staining),immunohistochemistry,immunofluorescence staining,and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI).Results:Animals in the model group exhibited distinct TMJOA symptoms,including joint pain and restricted mouth opening.Histologically,typical osteo-arthritis changes were evident.The Mankin osteoarthritis score was significantly higher(P＜O.05).Conclusion:The TMJ disc perfo-ration model resmbled the same clinical manifestations and pathological changes seen in human TMJOA.

Objective:Micro-and nanostructures with sharp disordered and rounded ordered features were fabricated on titanium surfaces,respectively,and their osteogenic potential was evaluated both in vitro and in vivo.Methods:Sharp disordered titanium surfaces(SLA-Ti)and rounded ordered titanium surfaces(Laser-Ti)were prepared using sandblast acid etching and high-repeti-tion-rate femtosecond laser,respectively.Smooth titanium(Ti)was used as the control group,SLA-Ti and Laser-Ti were used as the experimental groups.Characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy coupled with hydrophilicity assess-ments.The adhesion,elongation,and osteogenic differentiation capabilities of osteoblasts in vitro were evaluated through cell mor-phology observations,cytoskeletal fluorescence staining,cell viability assays,and PCR experiments.Osteogenic potential in vivo of rabbits was assessed through Micro CT scans and histological staining(HE and Masson).Results:The surface of Laser-Ti exhibits a rounded,ordered,multi-scale micro-and nano-morphology with the best hydrophilicity(P＜0.01).In vitro,it promotes cell adhe-sion,extension,and osteogenic differentiation,while in vivo,it enhances bone regeneration around the implants.Overall,a trend of Laser-Ti＞SLA-Ti＞Ti is observed,with a higher bone volume fraction(BV/TV)(P＜0.05),greater trabecular thickness(Tb.Th)(P＜0.05),an increased number of trabeculae(Tb.N)(P＜0.05),and a larger area of bone around the implants(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The rounded ordered micro-and nano-structures fabricated using high-repetition-rate fem-tosecond laser demonstrate enhanced osteoinductive capac-ity both in vitro and in vivo.

Objective To construct a mindfulness-based self-care intervention program for patients with chronic heart failure(CHF)and their caregivers based on binary disease management theory and explore its small-scale application effect.Methods A prospective study was conducted on 100 pairs of CHF patients admitted to our hospital and their caregivers from January 2024 to October 2024.After excluding those with invalid survey data,92 pairs were finally included and randomly divided into an observation group and a control group,each consisting of 46 pairs.The control group received routine nursing care,while the observation group received the mindfulness-based self-care program based on binary disease management theory in addition to routine nursing care.The Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA),Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),Self Compassion Scale(SCS),and Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale(MAAS)were used to compare the anxiety,depression,self-care,and mindfulness levels of patients and caregivers at three time points:pre-intervention(T1),right post-intervention(T2),and one month post-intervention(T3).The Caregiver Positive Perception Scale(PAC)was used to evaluate the caregiver's positive perception at each time point.Results The HAMA and HAMD scores of patients and caregivers in the observation group were lower than those in the control group at T2 and T3,while the SCS scores were signifi-cantly higher(all P<0.05).Repeated-measures analysis of variance showed significant differences in HAMA,The mindfulness-based self-care intervention program based on binary disease management theory effectively reduces negative emotions in patients and caregivers,and improves mindfulness and self-care,showing clinical application potential.

Based on the pathogenesis of “tendon off-position and joint subluxation”， combined with modern ana-tomy and biomechanics， the characteristic manifestations of “tendon off-position” and “joint subluxation” of the knee and the intrinsic connection between them are clarified. Through sorting out the relationship between “tendon off-position and joint subluxation” and knee osteoarthritis （KOA） in modern research， it is believed that “tendon off-position and joint subluxation” is the key mechanism for the occurrence and development of KOA， and accordingly， it is proposed to take the diet as the guide， use bone manipulation for external diagnosis and treatment， use traditional Chinese medicine decoction for internal treatment， and use Daoyin exercise throughout the whole process as the strategy for KOA's comprehensive traditional Chinese medicine treatment to improve the clinical effectiveness.
