Objuective To analyze the evaluation indicators of TCM syndrome efficacy in patients with angina pectoris at a clinical research center,and to preliminarily form a pool of items to evaluate the efficacy of TCM syndromes in angina pectoris,with the aim of providing a reference for evaluating the efficacy of TCM syndromes in angina pectoris.Metods By searching the literature on the clinical efficacy of angina pectoris published from January 1,2008,to December 31,2023,in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),VIP database(VIP),and Wanfang database(WF),the eligible literature was sorted and summarized,and items such as syndrome type,symptoms,and physical signs were recorded one by one in Excel to establish a database.SPSS Modeler 18.0 was used to perform Bayesian network model and association rule analysis on the evaluation items.The items that met both the Bayesian network model and association rule conditions were combined to preliminarily form a pool of items to evaluate the efficacy of TCM in angina pectoris.Results A total of 94 qualified articles were included,containing 21 types of differential diagnoses,with a total frequency of 100.Except for qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome(28 times,28%),phlegm and blood stasis syndrome(14 times,14%),blood flow stasis obstruction syndrome(14 times,14%),and qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome(10 times,10%),the frequency of other syndromes was relatively low,so only the first four syndromes were data mined.There were a total of 38 types of symptoms and physical signs for clinical efficacy evaluation,with a total frequency of 599 times.A preliminary pool of items for evaluating the efficacy of TCM in four types of angina pectoris was formed:① Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome main items included chest pain(contribution rate 0.96);secondary items included chest tightness(contribution rate 0.93),palpitations(contribution rate 0.77),dark purple(light purple)tongue or ecchymosis(contribution rate 0.77),and shortness of breath(contribution rate 0.83).② Phlegm and blood stasis syndrome main items included chest pain(contribution rate:0.94);secondary items included chest tightness(contribution rate:0.94)and palpitations(contribution rate:0.69).③ Blood flow stasis obstruction syndrome,main items include chest pain(contribution rate 0.94);secondary items include chest tightness(contribution rate 0.81),palpitations(contribution rate 0.69),purple dark(light purple)tongue or ecchymosis(contribution rate 0.94),rough pulse(contribution rate 0.81),fixed pain location,refusal to press,and aggravation at night(contribution rate 0.81).④ Qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome,main items include chest pain(contribution rate 0.92);secondary items include chest tightness(contribution rate 0.92),palpitations(contribution rate 0.83),purple dark(light purple)tongue or ecchymosis(contribution rate 0.75),rough pulse(contribution rate 0.67),costal pain(contribution rate 0.75).Conclusion The pool of evaluation indicators for the efficacy of TCM syndromes in patients with angina pectoris can provide a reference for conducting scientific and standardized evaluations of the efficacy of TCM syndromes,provide a basis for selecting core indicators,and lay the foundation for further building a core indicator set(COS).

Objective:To explore the application effect of 3D technology-assisted teaching based on "four-in-one" flipped classroom in clinical teaching of neurosurgery, and provide a basis for optimizing the medical education mode.Methods:A total of 50 students from the Second Clinical College were selected between June 2020 and June 2024, including eight-year program medical students and postgraduate neurosurgery students. The control group ( n=25) received the conventional teaching mode. The experimental group ( n=25) was taught using the "four-in-one" flipped classroom combined with 3D technology, including characteristic textbooks with 3D model drawings, Internet platforms (video libraries and virtual simulation modules), mobile interactive terminals (real-time question and answer), and virtual simulation technology. Effectiveness was evaluated through theoretical assessment (e.g., neuroanatomy and clinical application ability, with a total score of 100 points), operational assessment (e.g., surgical design and aseptic concept, with a total score of 100 points), and a teaching quality questionnaire. Independent samples t-test was conducted using SPSS 22.0. Results:The total score of theoretical assessment was higher in the experimental group than that in the control group [(86.52±5.21) vs. (73.56±6.32), P<0.001], with the largest difference observed in case analysis questions [(26.03±3.65) vs. (22.22±3.50), P=0.001]. In the operational assessment, the experimental group performed better in "surgical process design" [(26.30±4.14) vs. (21.44±3.45), P<0.001] and "aseptic concept" [(8.18±0.98) vs. (6.64±0.79), P<0.001]. The teaching quality questionnaire showed that the experimental group scored higher in "clinical practice skill enhancement" [(23.13±1.39) vs. (21.45±1.86), P=0.001] and "self-directed learning motivation" [(21.84±1.60) vs. (19.75±1.45), P<0.001]. Conclusions:The combination of "four-in-one" flipped classroom and 3D technology can significantly improve the teaching effectiveness of neurosurgery, especially in the cultivation of clinical thinking and practical abilities. This approach is worth promoting.

Objective To analyze and compare the diagnostic criteria of dampness syndrome in clinical studies and construct a dampness syndrome entry pool,so as to provide theoretical support for the development of dampness-related scales,and then provide reference for clinical research.Methods By searching the literature collected by CNKI,VIP and Wanfang data database from 1960 to 2023,the clinical research literature of dampness syndrome was searched and screened,and the diagnostic criteria of dampness syndrome were summarized and analyzed.Results A total of 7651 articles were retrieved from the above database,and 52 articles were finally included.9 diagnostic criteria were obtained by combining the screening of teaching materials.They are The National Standard of Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Medicine(GB/T16751.2-1997),Syndrome element differentiation,Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Standards,Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome Differentiation and Diagnosis,Diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine(Fifth edition,sixth edition,second edition of the new century,People's Health Commission edition,and tenth edition of the National Higher Traditional Chinese Medicine College Planning Textbook).The diagnostic methods can be divided into three kinds:narrative method,primary and secondary disease(or see disease)classification diagnosis method,and assigning method.There are a total of 36 symptom components,which can be divided into four groups:the accumulation of muscle and striae group,the obstruction of meridians and joints group,the internal accumulation of organs group,and the dampness and obstruction of orifices group.The National Standard of Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Medicine(GB/T16751.2-1997)has been cited for a maximum of 22 times,covering 16 diseases.Conclusion The National Standard of Chinese Medicine Clinical Diagnosis and Treatment of Chinese Medicine is the most widely used in clinical research,and the new version of national standard in 2021 is more suitable for the current diagnosis and clinical research of dampness syndrome.

Objective To explore the causal association between immune cells and allergic rhi-nitis using Mendelian randomization(MR)approach.Methods GWAS data for 731 types of im-mune cells and allergic rhinitis were obtained from genome-wide association study(GWAS)databas-es.A two-sample bidirectional MR analysis was conducted,with the inverse-variance weighted(IVW)method as the primary analytical approach,and the weighted median method,MR-Egger re-gression,simple mode method,and weighted mode method as supplementary approaches.Sensitivity analyses,including heterogeneity tests,pleiotropy tests,and the leave-one-out method,were per-formed.Bonferroni correction was applied to the preliminary results to enhance their reliability and rigor.Results The two-sample forward MR analysis revealed correlations between 67 immune cell phenotypes and allergic rhinitis.After Bonferroni correction,four immune cell phenotypes were finally identified.Among them,the expression of CD3 on CD39-positive activated CD4 regulatory T cells(OR=0.953,95％CI,0.931 to 0.978,P＜0.001,Padj=0.007),the expression of herpesvirus entry mediator(HVEM)on CD45RA-negative CD4+T cells(OR=0.965,95％CI,0.948 to 0.983,P＜0.001,Padj=0.008),and the percentage of human leukocyte antigen class DR(HLA-DR)-high-expressing monocytes among leukocytes(OR=0.929,95％CI,0.885 to 0.974,P=0.002,Padj=0.157)were protective factors for allergic rhinitis.In contrast,the percentage of transitional B cells among B cells(OR=1.094,95％CI,1.032 to 1.161,P=0.003,Padj=0.183)was a risk factor for allergic rhinitis.The reverse MR analysis showed no causal relationship between allergic rhinitis and the four immune cell phenotypes.Conclusion The two-sample forward MR analysis confirms a caus-al link between immune cells and allergic rhinitis.MR analysis has the advantages of reducing con-founding factor interference and avoiding reverse causation,providing a theoretical basis for in-depth research on immune mechanisms,sensitive biomarkers,and drug treatment targets of allergic rhinitis.

Diabetes mellitus(DM)is an endocrine metabolic disease mainly characterized by chronic hyperglycemia,which seriously threatens the health and quality of life of human beings,and with the improvement of living standard and unhealthy lifestyle in China,the incidence of DM continues to rise and tends to be younger,so it is urgent to carry out in-depth research on hypoglycemic treatment.DM is pathologically based on absolute or relative insulin deficiency,and there is no radical cure for it,and Western medicine mostly adopts insulin injection or oral hypoglycemic drugs for symptomatic treatment,which is effective but prone to toxic side effects in long-term use.Chinese medicine has the advantages of multi-path and multi-target in treating DM,and plays a role in lowering blood sugar by promoting insulin secretion,improving insulin resistance,regulating glucolipid metabolism and anti-oxidative stress,etc.Its efficacy is remarkable and the rate of toxic side effects is low.In recent years,there have been more studies on the mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine and compound prescriptions on animal models of DM.By reviewing the relevant literature in recent years,the author has systematically sorted out the mechanism of hypoglycemic action of single Chinese medicine,traditional Chinese medicine compound prescriptions,effective components of traditional Chinese medicine and their related experimental designs,from promoting insulin secretion,inhibiting gluconeogenesis,promoting glycogen synthesis,improving insulin resistance,inhibiting glycosidase activity,alleviating oxidative stress damage,inhibiting inflammatory response and regulating intestinal stress.The study and experimental design of the hypoglycemic mechanism of Chinese medicine were summarized in terms of promoting insulin secretion,inhibiting gluconeogenesis,promoting glycogen synthesis,improving insulin resistance,inhibiting glucosidase activity,alleviating oxidative stress damage,inhibiting inflammatory response and regulating intestinal flora,etc.,with a view to providing reference for the wider clinical application of Chinese medicine in hypoglycemia and its in-depth pharmacodynamic study.

Alzheimer's disease is a common central neurodegenerative disease， mainly manifested by cognitive impairment and non-cognitive neuropsychiatric symptoms that severely affect patients' daily life and behavioral functioning. The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease is still unclear， and the western medicine currently used to treat Alzheimer's disease is only symptomatic， with a single pathway， limited efficacy， and many side effects. In recent years， with the deepening of research on Alzheimer's disease， the study and application of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease have gradually increased. Several studies have shown that TCM and its effective components can exert anti-Alzheimer's disease effects by regulating molecular mechanisms such as pathological protein production and aggregation， oxidative stress， neuroinflammation， ferroptosis， mitochondrial dysfunction， neurogenesis and neurotransmission， and brain-gut axis. This paper summarized the research progress of TCM in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in recent years， so as to provide a reference for further study of the specific mechanism of TCM in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and the discovery of effective components of TCM.
