OBJECTIVE To explore and establish a full-cycle management model for drug traceability codes that aligns with national policy requirements and the practical needs of healthcare institutions, thereby enhancing the refinement of drug management and the level of medication safety. METHODS A tripartite strategy integrating “hardware deployment, system transformation, and process re-engineering” was adopted. This involved the introduction of intelligent identification devices (personal digital assistant, high-definition industrial reader), the modification of the hospital information system interface, and the re-engineering of workflows (drug warehousing, dispensing and distribution, drug withdrawal, uploading to the insurance platform) to achieve comprehensive, informatized collection and association of drug traceability codes throughout all stages. RESULTS A full-cycle management model for drug traceability codes was successfully established, realizing the goals of making drugs “traceable to their source, trackable in their distribution, and accountable in their responsibility”. The patient waiting time for medication dispensing before and after the implementation was [3.08(1.67,5.58)] min and [3.28(1.77,5.98)] min, respectively. Among them, the patient waiting time under the pre-preparation mode was [3.60(2.13,6.35)] min and [3.50(2.03,6.30)] min, respectively; the patient waiting time under the real-time mode was [2.05(0.83,4.03)] min and [2.78(1.18,5.38)] min, respectively; the number of dispensing errors was 3, 0, respectively; the staffing of relevant positions had not been increased. CONCLUSIONS The drug traceability code management model constructed from a full-cycle perspective effectively meets national policy requirements. It provides data support for refined hospital management and offers solid technical and procedural safeguards for ensuring patient medication safety and strengthening medical insurance fund supervision, demonstrating practical value.
2.Yin-Yang Collateral Disease Theory and Its Differentiation and Treatment System Construction
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2026;67(11):1142-1147
Based on yin-yang qi transformation theory and modern morphology, this paper elaborates on the structure and function of the collateral orifices and sweat pores. It is proposed that collateral vessels form a unified system of qi collaterals, blood collaterals, and water collaterals, with the core function of governing communication and transformation. The physiological mechanism that yin is in form while yang is in function forms a new understanding of the physiology of the collateral vessels. Based on this, the pathological mechanism of collateral disease is deconstructed, and a differentiation system for collateral disease based on yin-yang and qi transformation theory is established. The general treatment principle of regulating qi and resolving collaterals is defined, achieving a systematic integration of principles, methods, formulas, and medicinals regarding collateral disease theory. This approach provides a reference for the inheritance and innovation of collateral disease theory and the clinical precision differentiation and treatment.

Patients with gastric cancer undergoing postoperative chemotherapy often develop myelosuppression due to direct injury to the spleen and stomach caused by surgery, depletion of healthy qi by chemotherapy, impaired generation of ying (荣) qi due to spleen and stomach deficiency, and the accumulation of drug toxicity, which prevents ying qi from reaching and nourishing the bone marrow. Consequently, the bone marrow loses its nourishment and becomes unable to generate blood, leading to myelosuppression. This paper proposes that the core pathogenesis involves failure of the middle jiao (焦) pivot function, dysfunction of ying qi circulation, and insufficient nourishment of essence and marrow. Accordingly, Shengxian Decoction (升陷汤) combined with Danggui Buxue Decoction (当归补血汤) is used as the principal prescription to tonify the middle jiao and uplift center qi, thereby remedying the fundamental insufficiency of ying qi. Modified Compound Danshen Decoction (复方丹参饮) is applied to promote qi circulation, resolve stasis, remove toxin, and unblock collaterals, thereby resolving the obstruction preventing ying qi from reaching the bone marrow. Modified Dabuyuan Decoction (大补元煎) combined with Erzhi Pill (二至丸) is taken as the foundational formula to cultivate the root, replenish marrow, thereby modulating hematopoiesis in bone marrow.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that mitochondrial oxidative stress has an important role in the development of knee osteoarthritis,and Hemin can regulate the expression of mitochondria-related proteins. OBJECTIVE:To study the regulatory effect of Hemin on oxidative stress in mouse chondrocytes and its interventional effect and mechanism in knee osteoarthritis. METHODS:(1)In vitro cell experiment:Primary chondrocytes from C57BL/6 mice were extracted and induced with 10 ng/mL interleukin-1β to construct an in vitro chondrocyte model of osteoarthritis.The optimal concentration of Hemin(0,1,10,20,40,80,and 160 μmol/L)for the intervention in mouse chondrocytes was determined by cell counting kit-8 method.Chondrocytes were randomly divided into control group,model group(interleukin-1β)and Hemin group(interleukin-1β+Hemin).Reactive oxygen species,mitochondrial membrane potential and apoptosis of chondrocytes in each group were detected.(2)In vivo experiment:Adult C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group(osteoarthritis)and Hemin group(osteoarthritis+Hemin),with eight mice in each group.After 4 weeks of Hemin treatment,the behavioral test and histopathological observation of the knee joint were performed in each group.Changes in extracellular matrix-related protein expression and apoptosis in chondrocytes and the expression level of Nrf2/HO-1 protein in cartilage tissue were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In vitro experiment:the optimal concentration of Hemin on primary chondrocytes was 40 μmol/L.Compared with the model group,the level of reactive oxygen species was significantly reduced,the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly improved,and the apoptosis of chondrocytes was reduced in the hemin-treated interleukin-1β-induced chondrocytes.In vivo experiment:After 4 weeks of treatment,compared with the model group,the lower limb function of mice in the Hemin group was significantly improved,the histopathological score was significantly improved,and the apoptosis of knee chondrocytes was significantly reduced.All these findings indicate that Hemin can alleviate oxidative stress,restore mitochondrial function and reduce apoptosis in mouse chondrocytes induced by interleukin-1β.Hemin can improve extracellular matrix degradation,promote chondrocyte anabolism,reduce catabolism and reduce chondrocyte apoptosis in knee osteoarthritis.It may act by activating the chondrocyte Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway in the inflammatory environment.

Lung cancer (LC) is a significant global public health issue, with both its incidence and mortality rates ranking among the highest worldwide. The age-standardized incidence and mortality rates are increasing annually, posing a serious threat to the life and health of LC patients. Radical surgical resection is the primary treatment for malignant lung tumors. However, postoperative multidimensional functional impairments, including respiratory, mucosal, and psychological functions, are common. These impairments not only reduce patients' quality of life and affect their treatment tolerance and duration, but also negatively correlate with prognosis, facilitating disease recurrence and metastasis. At present, postoperative functional dysfunction after LC surgery remains a key clinical challenge that urgently needs to be addressed. There is a lack of standardized and regulated postoperative rehabilitation treatment management and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) differentiation and treatment strategies for LC. Focusing on the core underlying pathogenesis of "Qi sinking" after LC surgery, and guided by the classical TCM theory of "lungs governing Qi", this study, based on the core concept of the "five perspectives on treatment" theory, innovatively proposes the respiratory dysfunction as the core pathogenesis of "Qi sinking in the chest" during the rapid rehabilitation phase, mucosal dysfunction as the core pathogenesis of "Yin deficiency and Qi sinking" during the postoperative adjuvant treatment phase, and the psychological dysfunction as the core pathogenesis of "Qi sinking with emotional constraint" during the consolidation phase. Accordingly, stage-specific dynamic functional protection strategies are constructed. In the rapid rehabilitation phase, the strategy emphasizes tonifying Qi and uplifting sinking Qi, with differentiation and treatment based on the principle of ''descending before ascending''. In the adjuvant treatment phase, the approach focuses on nourishing Yin and uplifting Qi, with prescription combinations that integrate unblocking and tonification. In the consolidation phase, the strategy aims to resolve constraint and uplift Qi, with clinical treatment emphasizing a combination of dynamic and static methods. At each stage of functional rehabilitation, clinical differentiation and treatment should support healthy Qi and eliminate pathogenic factors simultaneously. This study is the first to propose the concept of postoperative functional protection in TCM, offering a new approach for TCM differentiation and treatment in the full-cycle, stage-based, and dynamic protection of postoperative function in LC patients. It is expected to contribute to the construction and development of an integrated TCM-Western medicine comprehensive program for cancer prevention and treatment in China.

Tumor treatment-related adverse reactions are a major focus of clinical concern, among which recurrent aphthous oral ulcers (RAU) associated with targeted therapy for lung cancer (LC) are among the most painful and distressing for patients. Currently, modern medical interventions show limited efficacy, and there is an urgent need for more effective treatment strategies. This study differentiates RAU associated with targeted therapy for LC from chemotherapy-related and ordinary oral ulcers, elucidates the pathophysiological basis of such ulcers, and traces the theoretical origin of "Yin deficiency and Qi collapse". Based on the new system of "five perspectives on diagnosis and treatment" for tumor prevention and treatment, with a focus on the core and symptom perspectives and rooted in the traditional concept of "lung dominating Qi", we innovatively propose the concept of "medicine-induced ulcer" and are the first to introduce the theory of "Yin deficiency and Qi collapse" into the syndrome differentiation and treatment of RAU associated with targeted therapy for LC (i.e., medicine-induced ulcer). We propose that "Yin deficiency and Qi collapse" is the core pathogenesis of medicine-induced ulcers, in which the collapse of formless Qi is the key to their onset, while the deficiency and stasis of tangible Yin and blood constitute the root of recurrence. A hierarchical strategy for syndrome differentiation and treatment is established: first treating the collapse of formless Qi, then replenishing tangible deficiencies, and concurrently preventing recurrence. We emphasize that treatment should address both root and manifestation, with appropriate prioritization. In the acute phase, while relieving symptoms and promoting ulcer healing by nourishing Qi, uplifting collapse, and generating body fluids, attention should also be paid to nourishing spleen Yin, facilitating the circulation of nutritive Qi, and alleviating stasis to target the root pathogenesis and reduce recurrence. A verified case is presented to support this approach. This study enriches the theoretical framework and clinical methods of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of RAU associated with targeted therapy for LC, promotes symptom management of treatment-related adverse reactions through integrated TCM and Western medicine, and provides theoretical support for the construction and development of a comprehensive differentiation and treatment system for lung cancer prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation.
7.Academic Connotation and Practical Applications of Theory of Cancer Collaterals
Chinese Journal of Experimental Traditional Medical Formulae 2025;31(10):245-255
The modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the field of oncology has led to the formation of a diversified theoretical system for tumor treatment. However, this system faces challenges such as significant differences between theoretical understanding and clinical treatment and lack of unified consensus and standardized protocols. The pathogenesis and treatment of collateral diseases, when summarized by the philosophy of Yin and Yang Qi transformation, offer a valuable academic perspective in the tumor theory by simplifying complexity and integrating knowledge. Building on the foundation of the collateral theory and modern research, our team has innovatively proposed the theory of cancer collaterals. From the Yin and Yang Qi transformation of collaterals, this theory emphasizes that the core pathogenesis of cancer collaterals is the dysfunction of Qi transformation in collaterals. Cancer collaterals are characterized by a Yin substance with a Yang function, representing the pathogenic Qi combining Yin and Yang. This theory outlines seven pathological characteristics (concealment, aggressive onset, toxin coagulation, obstruction and stasis, deficiency and damage, variable dispersion, and differences in Zang-organ collaterals) of cancer collaterals, five unique pathogeneses (latent toxin, stasis obstruction, damage, abnormal proliferation, and toxin dispersion in cancer collaterals) of cancer collaterals, and the full-cycle pathogenesis evolution through four stages (early, middle, late, and post-treatment stages) of tumors. In clinical practice, it is essential to differentiate the Yin and Yang Qi transformation states of body collaterals and cancer collaterals to restore the normal Qi transformation of collaterals and regulate the disordered Qi transformation of cancer collaterals. Therefore, the treatment method of regulating Qi and dredging collaterals in the theory of cancer collaterals is proposed. Regulating Qi involves adjusting the yang of cancer collaterals to promote Qi transformation, while dredging collaterals involves resolving the Yin of cancer collaterals to transform the formed cancer toxin. Finally, the practical value of the theory of cancer collaterals is discussed in terms of guiding clinical differentiation and treatment, promoting scientific research, and breaking down theoretical barriers. The aim is to perfect the theoretical system of malignant tumor differentiation and treatment.

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a highly aggressive hematologic malignancy with a poor prognosis, despite advancements in treatment. Many patients struggle with relapse or refractory disease. Investigating the role of the super-enhancer (SE) regulated gene ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) in T-ALL could enhance targeted therapies and improve clinical outcomes. Analysis of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq) data from six T-ALL cell lines and seven pediatric samples identified USP20 as an SE-regulated driver gene. Utilizing the Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia (CCLE) and BloodSpot databases, it was found that USP20 is specifically highly expressed in T-ALL. Knocking down USP20 with short hairpin RNA (shRNA) increased apoptosis and inhibited proliferation in T-ALL cells. In vivo studies showed that USP20 knockdown reduced tumor growth and improved survival. The USP20 inhibitor GSK2643943A demonstrated similar anti-tumor effects. Mass spectrometry, RNA-Seq, and immunoprecipitation revealed that USP20 interacted with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 subunit alpha (HIF1A) and stabilized it by deubiquitination. Cleavage under targets and tagmentation (CUT&Tag) results indicated that USP20 co-localized with HIF1A, jointly modulating target genes in T-ALL. This study identifies USP20 as a therapeutic target in T-ALL and suggests GSK2643943A as a potential treatment strategy.
