Radiation-induced lung injury is a prevalent side effect of radiotherapy for chest cancer. The "three phases and three methods "is an innovative theory based on the evolution of the core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury. Its formation also considers the understanding of radiation-induced lung injury by ancient and modern medical practitioners, pathological characteristics, clinical manifestations, and the development patterns of radiation-induced lung injury. The "three phases and three methods" refers to the three phases of the course and the three treatment methods. The core pathogenesis of radiation-induced lung injury from the beginning, middle and late stages is heat toxicity, yin deficiency, and blood stasis. Therefore, the course of radiation-induced lung injury is divided into three phases: blazing heat toxin, yin deficiency and heat accumulation, and static blood obstruction. The method of clearing the lung and resolving toxins, enriching yin and venting heat, invigorating blood and dissolving stasis are used respectively. Traditional Chinese medicines commonly used in each phase include Flos Lonicerae, Atrina Glass, heartleaf houttuynia herb, Radix Ophiopogonis, American Ginseng, Forsythiae Fructus, Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, Rhizoma Ligustici chuanxiong, Scorpio, etc. This article presents the theoretical origins of the "three phases and three methods" concept by reviewing of ancient literature, inheriting experience, and summarizing disease pathogenesis, as well as elaborating on the academic connotations of the "three phases and three methods". The scientific validity of the "three phases and three methods" is verified by literature, clinical, and basic research. The "three phases and three methods" interprets the core characteristics of each stage of radiation-induced lung injury, improves the traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment system for radiation-induced lung injury, and provides theoretical basis for achieving complete process management.

Background/Aims: Liver transplantation is the most effective treatment for the sickest patients with acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). However, the influence of donor age on liver transplantation, especially in ACLF patients, is still unclear. Methods: In this study, we used the data of the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. We included patients with ACLF who received liver transplantation from January 1, 2007, to December 31, 2017, and the total number was 13,857. We allocated the ACLF recipients by age intogroup I (donor age ≤17 years, n=647); group II (donor age 18–59 years, n=11,423); and group III (donor age ≥60 years, n=1,787). Overall survival (OS), graft survival, and mortality were com-pared among the three age groups and the four ACLF grades. Cox regression was also analyzed. Results: The 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS rates were 89.6%, 85.5%, and 82.0% in group I; 89.4%, 83.4%, and 78.2% in group II; and 86.8%, 78.4%, and 71.4% in group III, respectively (p<0.001).When we analyzed the different effects of donor age on OS with different ACLF grades, in groupsII and III, we observed statistical differences. Finally, the cubic spline curve told us that the relative death rate changed linearly with increasing donor age. Conclusions Donor age is related to OS and graft survival of ACLF patients after transplanta-tion, and poorer results were associated with elderly donors. In addition, different donor ages have different effects on recipients with different ACLF grades.

The classic formula Mulisan is the 45th of the 93 formulas in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Formulas （second batch） of Han medicine published by the National Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It consists of Ostreae Concha， Astragali Radix， Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma， and wheat， with the effect of replenishing qi and stopping sweating. It is a common formula in the clinical treatment with traditional Chinese medicine. This study analyzes the historical evolution， composition， dosage， original plants and their processing methods， decocting method， efficacy， indications， and modern clinical application of Mulisan by tracing， comparative analysis， and bibliometric methods. The results showed that Mulisan firstly appeared in the Pulse Classic written by WANG Shuhe in the Western Jin Dynasty. The formulation idea can be traced back to the Important Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergency in the Tang Dynasty. The herb composition， dosage， efficacy， and indications of Mulisan were first recorded in the Treatise on Diseases， Patterns， and formulas Related to Unification of the Three Etiologies in the Southern Song dynasty. In terms of original plants and their processing methods， Ostreae Concha is the shell of Ostrea rivularis， which should be calcined before use. Astragali Radix and Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma are the dried roots of Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus and Ephedra sinica， respectively， the raw material of which should be used. Wheat is the dried mature fruit of T. aestivum， which can be used without processing， while the stir-fried fruit， being thin and deflated， demonstrates better effect. The composition of Mulisan is Ostreae Concha 8.26 g， Astragali Radix 8.26 g， Ephedrae Radix et Rhizoma 8.26 g， and wheat 7.92 g. The medicinal materials should be ground into coarse powder and decocted with 450 mL water to reach a volume of 240 mL， and the decoction should be taken warm. In modern clinical practice， Mulisan has a wide range of indications， including spontaneous sweating and night sweating caused by Yang deficiency or Qi deficiency. The clinical disease spectrum treated by Mulisan involves endocrine system diseases， neurological diseases， respiratory system diseases， and cancer. This formula plays a significant role in the treatment of internal medicine diseases in traditional Chinese medicine. This study aims to provide a scientific basis for the subsequent research， development， and clinical application of Mulisan.

Methods:Search the traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform (TCMSP) and relevant literature to screen the active compounds of Eucommiae Cortex- Epimedii Folium herbal pair. Using TargetNet, SwissTargetPrediction, and STITCH databases to predict the target of active compounds. GeneCards, OMIM, TTD and DisGeNET databases were used to screen the related targets of osteoporosis, and the intersection targets were obtained by Venny 2.1.0 online tool. Using STRING database for protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis. Construct a network diagram using Cytoscape 3.8.2 software and perform network feature analysis to determine key targets and core compounds. Using R 3.6.3 software for gene ontology (GO) functional annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) signaling pathway analysis. Apply SYBYL-X 2.1.1 software to perform molecular docking between core compounds and key targets, and use GROMACS 2021.6 software for molecular dynamics simulation. Results:Totally 47 active compounds, 329 targets related to compounds, 4 604 targets related to osteoporosis, and 210 intersecting targets of Eucommiae Cortex- Epimedii Folium herbal pair were selected. Network feature analysis showed that luteolin, quercetin, kaempferol, caffeic acid, chryseriol, and pinoresinol were core compounds, while protein kinase B1(Akt1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), steroid receptor coactivator (Src), cysteinyl aspartate specific proteinase-3 (CASP3), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1), prostaglandin-endoperoxide synthase 2 (PTGS2), mitogen-activated protein kinase 8 (MAPK8), and JUN were key targets. GO analysis showed that biological process (BP) mainly involve cellular hormone metabolism, intracellular receptor signaling pathways, oxidative stress responses, hormone metabolism processes, etc. Cell component (CC) mainly involved membrane rafts, membrane microregions, membrane regions, transcription factor complexes, etc. Molecular function (MF) mainly involved nuclear receptor activity, transcription factor activity, steroid hormone receptors, hormone binding, etc. KEGG analysis showed that the signaling pathways of Eucommiae Cortex- Epimedii Folium herbal pair in the treatment of osteoporosis mainly included osteoclast differentiation, PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, and MAPK signaling pathway. Molecular docking showed that the core compounds could accurately bind to the active sites of key target proteins, and molecular dynamics analysis further verified the binding stability between the core compounds and key target proteins. Conclusions:The combination of Eucommiae Cortex- Epimedii Folium herbal pair has the characteristics of multiple components, targets, and pathways in the treatment of osteoporosis, laying a theoretical foundation for its clinical use.

Objective:To explore the impact of parenting style on social anxiety among college students, and examine the mediating effect of core self-evaluation.Methods:From November 2022 to January 2023, a total of 1 126 college students in Harbin were taken as research subjects.Interaction anxiousness scale(IAS), short-egna minnen betraffende upfostran-Chinese(s-EMBU-C) and core self-evaluations scale(CSES) were used for analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software for correlation analysis and analysis of variance.AMOS 27.0 software was used for mediation effect test.Results:Social anxiety (42.31±8.23) was negatively correlated with positive parenting style (5.44±1.45) ( r=-0.072, P<0.05) and core self-evaluation (32.12±6.01) ( r=-0.350, P<0.01), while positively correlated with negative parenting style (7.40±1.74)( r=0.302, P<0.01). Core self-evaluation was positively correlated with positive parenting style ( r=0.362, P<0.01) and negatively correlated with negative parenting style ( r=-0.346, P<0.01).Parent parenting styles had a significant mean direct effect on social anxiety of college students ( βpositive=0.098, βnegtive=0.222).Mediation analyses indicated that core self-evaluation played a masking role between positive parenting styles and social anxiety, with an absolute value of 90.82% for the ratio of indirect(-0.089) to direct effects(0.098).Core self-evaluation had partial mediating effect on negative parenting styles, with direct effect and indirect effect accounting for 73.03% and 26.97% of the total effect, respectively. Conclusion:Parenting style can either directly affect college students' social anxiety or indirectly through the mediating effect of core self-evaluations, with core self-evaluations playing a masking role in the positive parenting styles pathway.

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of a modified superior mesenteric artery(SMA)approach in totally laparoscopic complete mesocolic excision(CME)and D3 lymphadenectomy for right colon cancer.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on clinical data of 77 cases of totally laparoscopic radical surgery for right colon cancer from April 2021 to April 2023.Before August 2022,42 cases underwent traditional SMA approach(control group,only marking with the ileocolic vascular pedicle as the tail of SMA),while after August 2022,35 cases underwent modified SMA approach(modified group,marking with the Treitz's ligament and ileocolic vascular pedicle as the head and tail of SMA,respectively).There was no statistically significant difference in general information between the two groups(P>0.05).The intraoperative conditions,postoperative recovery,and postoperative complications were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the control group,the modified group had a shorter surgical time[(147.3±35.8)min vs.(173.4±29.9)min,t =-3.428,P =0.001].There were no statistically significant differences in the number of lymph node dissection,number of positive lymph nodes,drainage volume,exhaust time,postoperative hospital stay,and incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The modified SMA approach for totally laparoscopic radical resection of right colon cancer shortens the surgical time,reduces the difficulty and risk of surgery,and has high safety and feasibility.
