ObjectiveAge-related macular degeneration （AMD） is one of the leading causes of low vision and blindness in people over 50 years old， and dry AMD （dAMD） is one type for which there is currently no clear treatment. On the basis of the diagnosis and clinical characteristics of dAMD in traditional Chinese and Western medicine， this paper evaluated the fitting degrees of existing animal models of dAMD with clinical characteristics according to the evaluation methods of animal models， and put forward suggestions and prospects. MethodsLiterature on animal models of dAMD was searched against database， and the characteristics of the models were assigned according to the diagnosis criteria of diseases and syndromes of traditional Chinese and Western medicine， and the fitting degrees of the models with clinical characteristics were analyzed and evaluated. ResultsAt present， the animal models of dAMD are mainly established targeting complement factors， chemokines， oxidative damage， lipid/glucose metabolism， and natural strains. Most of the models can simulate the major pathological changes of dAMD， showing the fitting degree of 25%-50% with clinical characteristics in Western medicine. However， the evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes， especially the evaluation of secondary syndromes， is missing， and the models present low fitting degrees with the clinical characteristics in TCM. ConclusionExisting animal models of dAMD are mostly established under the guidance of Western diagnostic standards， which reproduce the main disease characteristics of Western medicine and lack observation of TCM syndromes. Future studies can pay attention to the intervention factors and evaluation systems of spleen deficiency Qi deficiency and liver-kidney Yin deficiency syndrome and build the animal model of dAMD with integration of disease and syndrome based on clinical characteristics of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

BACKGROUND:Extracellular vesicles are secreted into the extracellular milieu by a wide range of cell types,including tumor cells,under different physiological and pathophysiological conditions,where a wide range of biological signals and cell-to-cell signaling exists.Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles may exacerbate cancer progression,survival,invasion,and promote angiogenesis. OBJECTIVE:To review the research progress of extracellular vesicles in the diagnosis and treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS:Literature search was performed by the first author in PubMed,WanFang,CNKI and other databases with the keywords"EVs,oral squamous cell carcinoma,diagnosis and treatment,biopsy,tissue engineering"in Chinese and English.Finally,63 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)In oral squamous carcinoma saliva biopsies,extracellular vesicles play a crucial role in the progression of oral squamous cell carcinoma by acting as an information transfer tool between tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment,carrying a wide range of biomolecules including soluble proteins,lipids,DNA,and RNA.These tiny vesicles not only play a key role in tumor growth and spread,but also provide important information about the biological properties of the tumor.(2)Saliva biopsy,as a non-invasive diagnostic method,can open up new possibilities for early diagnosis and targeted treatment of oral squamous cell carcinoma by analyzing the extracellular vesicles therein.(3)It has been found that bioactive molecules,such as microRNAs(miRNAs)and specific proteins,contained within extracellular vesicles can serve as biomarkers for oral squamous carcinoma and improve the accuracy of early diagnosis.Specific proteins in extracellular vesicles such as EHD2,CAVIN1,PF4V1,and CXCL7 show potential as novel predictive biomarkers.(4)In addition,this paper highlights the potential application of extracellular vesicles in the treatment of oral squamous carcinoma.Through engineering modifications,extracellular vesicles can serve as a new generation of nanoscale drug delivery systems to enhance the efficiency and specificity of targeted tumor therapy.(5)Future studies will further explore the effect and mechanism of extracellular vesicles in oral squamous cell carcinoma,which is expected to improve patients'survival and quality of life.

Objective:To construct a maintenance model of ophthalmic equipment of hospital based on Delphi method,so as to provide a new idea in management for ophthalmic equipment.Methods:The maintenance evaluation system of ophthalmic equipment was constructed by Delphi method,and the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)was applied to determine weight of evaluation index of equipment so as to standardize the management for ophthalmic equipment.A total of thirty used equipment that related to diagnosis and treatment for eye disease in Eye Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences from January 2022 to January 2023 were selected.According to different management modes,the conventional management mode(15 equipment)and Delphi method management mode(15 devices)were adopted respectively to manage equipment.A self-made questionnaire was adopted to investigate the satisfaction degree of medical staffs of the department of ophthalmology,and staffs of purchasing equipment for clinical configuration and use of ophthalmic equipment.The standardization degree of operation management for ophthalmic equipment,operation quality of equipment and satisfaction of medical staffs for clinical configuration of the two management modes were compared.Results:The scores of standardization degree of operation,disinfection and sterilization,maintenance and fault repair were respectively(92.14±5.36),(90.56±6.23),(91.98±5.65)and(92.16±6.36)after the Delphi method were adopted,which were higher than these of conventional management mode,and the differences of them were statistically significant(t=14.809,14.627,16.126,14.872,P<0.05).The average"power on"rate,operation rate,pass rate of acceptance and growth amplitude of cost-benefit of ophthalmic equipment were respectively(90.23±2.05)%,(96.36±3.98)%and(7.66±1.69)%after management with Delphi method was adopted,all of which were higher than these of conventional management mode,and the differences of them were statistically significant(t=9.649,4.248,8.479,16.867,P<0.05).The satisfaction rates of medical staffs of ophthalmic department and staffs of purchasing equipment for the rationality of clinical allocation process,standardization of system and effectiveness of quality of ophthalmic department of adopting Delphi method management mode were respectively 93.33%,93.33%and 90%,all of which were higher than those of conventional management mode,and the differences were statistically significant(x2=7.952,6.667,7.200,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of the maintenance model of ophthalmic equipment of hospital based on Delphi method can enhance the qualities of managing and operating equipment,and improve the service level of equipment in management for ophthalmic equipment.

Objective To discuss the correlation between the expression of P-glycoprotein(P-gp)and T lymphocyte subsets with clinical efficacy in children with primary immune thrombocytopenia(ITP).Methods A total of 120 children diagnosed with ITP in the First Affiliated Hospital of Shihezi University from June 2022 to June 2024 were selected as research subjects.The clinical data,T lymphocyte subsets and P-gp test results were collected.According to differences in treatment plans and therapeutic effects,they were divided into glucocorticoid(GC)treatment group(GC-effective group,GC-ineffective group)and intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIg)treatment group(IVIg-effective group,IVIg-ineffective group).The levels of P-gp and T lymphocyte subsets were compared within each group.Results P-gp was positively correlated with CD8+and negatively correlated with CD4+/CD8+(P＜0.05).The P-gp and CD8+of children in GC-effective group were significantly lower than those in GC-ineffective group,and CD4+/CD8+ratio was significantly higher than that in GC-ineffective group(P＜0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in CD4+between two groups of children(P＞0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in P-gp,CD4+,CD8+and CD4+/CD8+between IVIg-effective group and IVIg-ineffective group(P＞0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of P-gp and T lymphocyte subsets are associated in children with ITP.High expression levels of P-gp and CD8+suggest that GC therapy may be ineffective.Monitoring the level of P-gp and T lymphocyte subsets may help predict GC treatment responsiveness in pediatric ITP patients.

Objective:To construct fused cancer cell/neutrophil membrane-coated polydopamine nanoparticles chelated with manganese ions (Ⅱ) (PMNP@FMs) and explore the potential for targeted pancreatic cancer fluorescence imaging and MRI.Methods:Cancer cell membranes fused with neutrophil membranes were encapsulated on the surface of polydopamine nanoparticles chelated with manganese ions (Ⅱ) (PMNPs) to prepare PMNP@FMs. The morphology, structure, and MRI performance of the product were characterized. The cytotoxicity of PMNP@FMs towards human pancreatic cancer cells (PANC-1) and normal human pancreatic ductal epithelial cells (hTERT-HPNE) was evaluated using cell counting kit (CCK)-8, and in vivo toxicity was assessed in healthy mice. PANC-1 pancreatic cancer xenograft nude mouse models were established for in vivo fluorescence imaging and MRI. Data were analyzed using the independent-sample t test, repeated measures analysis of variance and the least significance difference method. Results:PMNP@FMs exhibited a core-shell structure with a diameter of (112.81±8.64) nm, negative surface charge, and good dispersibility. The T 1 relaxivity of PMNPs was 18.81±0.22, which was 4.1 times higher than that of gadopentetate dimeglumine (Gd-DTPA) (4.55±0.24; t=75.54, P<0.001). Co-culture of PMNPs and PMNP@FMs with hTERT-HPNE and PANC-1 cells for 24 h resulted in cell viability above 90% within the concentration range of 0-500 μg/ml. PMNP@FMs did not affect mouse survival and showed no apparent organ damage. In vivo fluorescence imaging and MRI revealed that PMNP@FMs accumulated highly in tumors and reached the peak 24 h post intravenous administration (relative MR signal: 1.35±0.01, fluorescence intensity: (1.20±0.25)×10 10), surpassing the peak observed in the control group (1.22±0.01, (3.87±0.50)×10 9;F values: 11.03-188.01, t values: 18.20, 5.64, all P<0.05), with hepatic metabolism being the primary route of clearance. Conclusion:PMNP@FMs demonstrate a potential for targeted pancreatic cancer fluorescence imaging and MRI, offering promising prospect for precise diagnosis of early-stage pancreatic cancer.

Acute pancreatitis(AP)is a frequently encountered acute abdominal syndrome in clinical settings,and the integrated model of traditional Chinese and Western medicine(TCM-WM)has demonstrated notable advantages in the diagnosis and treatment of AP.To systematize and standardize clinical practices related to develop clinical pathway for integrated TCM-WM diagnosis and treatment of AP,which enhances the efficiency and quality of patient care.This pathway focuses on AP,a common acute and life-threatening disease within the digestive system,and outlines that the central pathological mechanism involves pancreatic injury and localized inflammation resulting from the abnormal activation of pancreatic enzymes.It has the characteristics of rapid onset,multiple causes,and complex manifestations.Severe cases can be life-threatening.At present,conventional treatments encompass a diverse range of modalities.Moreover,traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)holds distinct advantages in alleviating relevant symptoms,and TCM-WM is gaining increasing prevalence.To enhance the standardization and consistency of diagnostic and therapeutic practices,this clinical pathway clearly delineates the target patient population,which includes individuals diagnosed with abdominal pain disorder according to TCM and with AP in accordance with WM criteria,as well as the corresponding inclusion standards.The diagnostic framework integrates both TCM and WM guidelines,and further incorporates disease staging,severity grading,and syndrome differentiation to support a comprehensive and integrated diagnostic strategy.The treatment integrates approaches from both TCM and WM.Within the WM framework,interventions consist of basic supportive care,infection control,nutritional support,and the management of complications.In the context of TCM,the protocol includes syndrome differentiation and corresponding therapeutic strategies(Distinct syndrome patterns are identified and managed during the acute and convalescent phases),such as acupuncture and retention enema.This clinical pathway addresses multiple key components,including preventive strategies,post-treatment follow-up,criteria for evaluating therapeutic efficacy,admission and discharge,admission examination protocols,discharge criteria,and the rationale for deviations or withdrawal from the pathway.It is designed to provide a systematic and standardized reference framework for relevant clinical practices.

Objective:To evaluate the alveolar ridge preservation effect of immediate implantation at extraction site with the im-proved CBCT measuring method.Methods:Eighty patients with extraction site were divided into test group A,B,C and control group.The patients were treated by means of immediate implant placement combined with large flap surgery,guided bone regener-ation(GBR)using mass Bio-Oss bone particles in the group A(the thickness of facial bone wall＜1 mm);The patients were trea-ted by means of immediate implant placement combined without flap surgery and bone graft in the group B(the thickness of facial bone wall ≥1 mm and＜2 mm)and C(the thickness of facial bone wall ≥2 mm),the CGF was implanted in the jumping space only when the thickness of jumping space was＞2 mm.In the control group,the alveolar sockets healed naturally without any in-tervention or treatment.CBCT was taken before surgery,immediately after surgery,and 6 months after surgery to evaluate the height and width of alveolar bone,the thickness of facial bone wall and jumping space.Results:The reduction of alveolar ridge height in group A,B,C and control group was(0.41±0.13,0.94±0.18,0.59±0.12,1.31±0.19)mm,The reduction of alveolar ridge width in group A,B,C and control group was(0.93±0.10,1.48±0.21,1.12±0.17,1.66±0.16)mum.The re-sults of four groups were statistically different(F=177.0,P＜0.001;F=125.3,P＜0.001).The alveolar ridge thickness of facial bone wall in group A,B,C and con-trol group was(0.98±0.25,2.39±0.28)mm,(1.43±0.52,2.10±0.33)mm,(2.17±0.41,2.79±0.27)mm before surgery and six months after immediate implantation.The results of each group were statistically different between before surgery and six months after immediate implantation(t=16.45,P＜0.001;t=7.357,P＜0.001;t=5.488,P＜0.001).Patients in three test groups had the thickness of jumping space＞2 mm and ≤2 mm,and the reduction of alveolar ridge width was(0.78±0.18,0.88±0.17)mm.The results were statistically different(t=17.18,P=0.018).Conclusion:The alveolar ridge preservation was obtained by means of immediate implant placement combined with large flap surgery,guided bone regeneration(GBR)using mass Bio-Oss bone particles at extraction site with the thickness of facial bone wall＜1 mm;The alveolar ridge preservation was obtained without flap surgery and GBR at extraction site with the thickness of facial bone wall≥1 mm.The preservation of soft and hard tissue was better in the axial palatal side of immediate implantation with the thickness of jumping space＞2 mm than that with the thickness of jumping space≤2 mm.

Da Qinjiaotang is the 54^th formula of the 100 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classical Formulas （the first batch） ，and it originated from the Collection of Writings on the Mechanism of Disease， Suitability of Qi， and Safeguarding of Life Discussed in Plain Questions. Da Qinjiaotang is composed of Gentiana macrophylla， Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Ligusticum chuanxiong， Angelica sinensis， Paeonia lactiflora， Asari Radix et Rhizoma， Notopterygium incisum， Saposhnikoviae Radix， Scutellariae Radix， Gypsum， Angelica dahurica， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Rehmanniae Radix， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Poria， and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix. It is a classical formula for treating strokes. Da Qinjiaotang is widely used in modern clinical practices for treating ischemic stroke， peripheral facial paralysis， cervical spondylosis， rheumatic arthritis， neurodermatitis， and other multisystem diseases. Therefore， following the Principles of Textual Research on the Key Information of Ancient Classical Famous Formulas， the authors collected the ancient Chinese medical literature of Da Qinjiaotang by the method of bibliometrics and screened out 177 valid data， involving 100 ancient books of traditional Chinese medicine. Based on the historical evolution， composition， dosage， method of preparation， and preparation of the original medicinal materials of Da Qinjiaotang， a systematic study was carried out. It was found that among the 175 records of the main diseases and syndromes， stroke （144） was the most， accounting for 82.29% of the total diseases and syndromes. Later generations mostly followed the practice of LIU Wansu in using Da Qinjiaotang to treat stroke caused by "weak blood and inability to nourish tendon"， featuring "hands and feet cannot move， stiff tongue hinders speaking"， as well as other symptoms， such as slant of the mouth， hemiplegia， numbness of the limbs， paroxysmal pain， and acerbic syncope. The treatment scope was expanded， covering tendon dryness， clonic convulsion， spasm syndrome， and arthralgia syndrome. At the same time， it was found that there was a controversy between "internal wind" and "external wind" in the treatment of stroke by Da Qinjiaotang. LIU Wansu thought that stroke was caused by internal factors， created the theory of "hot stroke"， and used Da Qinjiaotang to treat "internal wind". Many doctors in later generations focused on treating the "external wind" of "internal deficiency and evil". There were 76 valid data on the composition of drugs， 59 of which had doses for each drug. It was suggested to use the modern conversion dosage of the original formula， with 41.30 g per dose. The drug should be boiled in 600 mL water until 300 mL， decocted once， and taken in a warm state after removing the dregs anytime. Through the analysis and study of the ancient books about Da Qinjiaotang， the paper clarified its historical evolution and confirmed its key information， so as to provide the ancient literature evidence for the research and development of the classical famous formula Daqinjiaotan and its better clinical application.
