ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects and safety of the optimized new Shengmai Powder (优化新生脉散方) on exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) of qi deficiency, blood stasis, and fluid retention syndrome. MethodsA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted. A total of 78 CHF patients with qi deficiency, blood stasis, and fluid retention syndrome were recruited and randomly assigned to a treatment group (39 cases) and a control group (39 cases). On the basis of conventional western medical therapy, patients in the treatment group additionally received the optimized new Shengmai Powder granules, while the control group was given an oral placebo of optimized new Shengmai Powder granules. Patients in both groups took 30.6 g each time, twice a day, mixed with water for administration, with a total treatment course of 4 weeks. The primary outcomes were 6-minute walk distance (6MWD) and peak oxygen uptake (Peak VO2) measured by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Secondary outcomes included New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels, cardiac function indexes including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventri-cular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ) scores, and scores of four diagnostic information of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). All indicators were assessed once before and after treatment respectively. Safety indicators were evaluated, and adverse events during the trial were recorded. ResultsAll patients in both groups were included in the full ana-lysis set (FAS) and safety set (SS). Compared with baseline, the 6MWD and Peak VO₂ of cardiopulmonary exercise test in the treatment group significantly increased after treatment, while the MLHFQ scores, serum BNP levels and scores of TCM four diagnostic information significantly decreased, and the NYHA cardiac function grade significantly improved (P<0.01). After treatment, the 6MWD and Peak VO₂ of cardiopulmonary exercise test, as well as their changes from baseline in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group; the MLHFQ scores, serum BNP levels and scores of TCM four diagnostic information in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group; and the improvement of NYHA cardiac function grade in the treatment group was superior to that in the control group (P<0.01). There was no statistically significant differences in all indicators after treatment in the control group (P>0.05). The incidence of adverse events was 5.1% (2/39) in the treatment group and 2.6% (1/39) in the control group, with no statistically significant difference between groups (P>0.05). ConclusionOn the basis of conventional western medicine treatment, the addition of the optimized new Shengmai Powder can further improve exercise tolerance, cardiac function and quality of life in patients with CHF of qi deficiency, blood stasis and fluid retention syndrome, and show good safety.

BACKGROUND:Due to the complex movement of the scapula,which is a six-degree-of-freedom activity in three-dimensional space,it is difficult to measure it accurately using traditional methods.The image and model matching technology based on dual-plane X-ray is a three-dimensional measurement method that has gradually developed and matured in recent years.Two high-speed cameras are used to project and shoot from orthogonal directions.Compared with a single perspective,this method has advantages in observation range and reduction of out-of-plane errors,and is suitable for the study of scapula kinematics.OBJECTIVE:X-ray biplane and image-model registration technology were used to explore the differences in scapular kinematics between normal individuals and patients with rotator cuff tears,providing a basis for the treatment and rehabilitation of rotator cuff tear patients.METHODS:From April 2023 to January 2024,10 patients with normal shoulders and 10 patients with rotator cuff tears who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled from Guanghua Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.The subjects underwent a shoulder CT scan to create a 3D model and a local scapular coordinate system.X-ray biplane images were taken during shoulder abduction with two C-arm machines.The 2D and 3D images were registered to compare scapular kinematic differences between the two groups at 0°,15°,30°,45°,60°,75°,and 90° of abduction,including scapular rotation angle and displacement distance.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)During shoulder abduction,the scapula of both groups showed upward rotation,but the upward rotation of the rotator cuff tear group was greater than that of the control group,and the difference was significant when the abduction was 30°-90°(P<0.01).At the same time,the scapula internal rotation of both groups gradually increased,but the rotator cuff tear group was significantly greater than the control group when the abduction was 45°-90°(P<0.01).In addition,the anteroposterior tilt of the scapula of the two groups was significantly different when the abduction was 15°-90°(P<0.01).The scapula posterior tilt of the control group gradually increased during abduction,while the scapula of the rotator cuff tear group tilted forward except for a slight posterior tilt at 15°-30° abduction.(2)In terms of displacement,the upward displacement of the rotator cuff tear group was less than that of the control group during abduction,and the difference was significant at 15°-90°(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in lateral and anterior-posterior displacement between the two groups(P>0.05).(3)Rotator cuff tear can cause scapular dyskinesis,characterized by increased upward rotation,internal rotation,and abnormal forward tilt during shoulder abduction.Identifying and addressing scapular dyskinesis is crucial for treating rotator cuff tear.

The pathogenesis of metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is closely associated with gut microbiota dysbiosis. Dysbiosis can lead to translocation of bacterial derivatives (such as lipopolysaccharide), which drives hepatic inflammatory response and metabolic imbalance by activating Toll-like receptors (TLR) and their downstream signaling pathways. This article systematically reviews the mechanism of action of the gut microbiota-TLR axis in MAFLD, and elaborates on the function of the key receptors such as TLR2 and TLR4 and the lesser-studied members (TLR5, TLR7, and TLR9). This article also summarizes the downstream signaling events after TLR activation, including the canonical NF-κB and MAPK pathways, as well as the role of the JAK-STAT and PI3K-Akt pathways in the pathological mechanism of MAFLD. Finally, this article reviews the potential intervention strategies for MAFLD by targeting gut microbiota and regulating the gut microbiota-TLR signaling axis, in order to provide new ideas for clinical prevention and treatment.

Objective: To investigate the incidence and independent risk factors of adverse events (AEs) associated with therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), and to provide evidence to support the safe use of TPE in clinical practice. Methods: This retrospective study included 167 allo-HSCT recipients who underwent a total of 385 TPE procedures between March 2022 and December 2023. Patients were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of TPE-related AEs. Baseline characteristics, plasma exchange parameters, and clinical features were collected. Univariate analysis and multivariable Firth logistic regression were performed to identify independent risk factors for AEs. Results: A total of 385 TPE procedures were performed in 167 allo-HSCT patients, and 33 patients (19.8%) experienced TPE-related AEs. Among the 33 patients who experienced AEs, allergic reactions were the most common (n=18, 54.5%), followed by blood pressure fluctuations (n=11, 33.3%) and hypocalcemia (n=4, 12.1%). Most AEs were classified as grade II (n=23, 69.7%), and no grade IV (fatal) events were observed. Univariate analysis demonstrated a significant difference in the incidence of AEs among different hematocrit (HCT) categories (<20%, 20%-30%, and>30%) (Fisher's exact test, P=0.022). Although the overall difference was statistically significant, none of the pairwise comparisons remained significant after Bonferroni correction (adjusted P>0.0167). Multivariable Firth logistic regression identified higher HCT levels, analyzed as a continuous variable (OR=1.07, 95% CI: 1.01-1.13, P=0.020), and TPE performed for cytokine release syndrome (CRS) (OR=9.21, 95% CI: 1.25-78.00, P=0.030) as potential independent risk factors for TPE-related AEs. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis showed that HCT had an AUC of 0.67 (95% CI: 0.57-0.77) for predicting AEs, with an optimal cutoff value of 24.5%, a sensitivity of 60.6%, and a specificity of 75.4%. Using this cutoff, the AEs rate was significantly higher in patients with HCT≥24.5% than in those with HCT<24.5% (37.7% vs 11.4%, P<0.001). Conclusion: A-mong allo-HSCT patients receiving TPE, allergic reactions were the predominant AEs. Higher HCT levels and TPE performed for CRS may be associated with an increased risk of AEs. HCT≥24.5% may help identify patients requiring intensified monitoring, although its discriminatory ability is moderate (AUC=0.67) and it should not be used as a standalone criterion for clinical decision-making. Findings regarding the CRS subgroup require validation in larger cohorts. Optimizing extracorporeal circuit priming and strengthening peri-procedural monitoring may help improve the safety of TPE.

Objective:To compare enrichment and nucleic acid detection method for hepatitis E virus (HEV) in simulated cola samples.Methods:Cola samples experimentally contaminated with HEV were enriched using positively charged filter membrane-direct lysis (Method 1), tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane-direct lysis (Method 2), and Method 3 and 4 (with the addition of a PCR inhibitor removal step on the basis of Method 1 and 2, respectively), and were assayed by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR(RT-qPCR), and the recoveries and inhibition rates were compared. Digital RT-PCR(RT-dPCR) and RT-qPCR were applied to detect the recovery of HEV in different medium and low concentrations of experimentally contaminated cola samples; and the inhibition rate and sensitivity of HEV RNA detection in different matrices.Methods 3 was selected for virus enrichment of 8 commercially available cola specimens, RT-qPCR and RT-dPCR for HEV RNA detection.Results:The HEV recoveries of method 3 and 4 (10.44% and 10.16%) were higher than those of method 1 and 2 (4.89% and 0.32%), and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The inhibition rates of method 3 and 4 were smaller than the inhibition rates of method 1 and 2. The recoveries of HEV in medium concentration artificially contaminated cola samples by RT-qPCR and RT-dPCR were 17.04% and 16.28%, respectively, and for low concentration artificially contaminated cola samples were 6.91% and 4.65%, respectively, and the differences in recoveries between the two assays at the same concentration were not statistically significant ( P=0.260, P=0.107 ); Cola matrix inhibits the detection of both RT-qPCR and RT-dPCR assays. Eight commercially available cola specimens were negative for HEV. Conclusions:Detection of HEV in cola beverages can be done by positively charged filter membrane-direct lysis + inhibitor removal (method 3) or tangential flow ultrafiltration membrane-direct lysis + inhibitor removal (method 4) enrichment, followed by RT-dPCR or RT-qPCR, with a high recovery of virus detection.

Objective:To explore the data distribution characteristics of hydrogen and methane breath test (HMBT) in Chinese population and to evaluate its applicability for diagnosing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in Chinese population.Methods:HMBT data of 18 634 individuals who underwent health check-up nationwide from March 2019 to september 2022 were retrospectively collected, which included the levels of hydrogen and methane at 0, 30, 60, and 90 min. After quality control and data cleaning, the final valid sample size was 12 654 cases, comprising 7 146 SIBO-negative cases and 5 508 SIBO-positive cases. In order to exclude confounding factors such as oral hygiene, the 12 654 cases were divided into D0 and D1 dataset, when the 0 min-value of hydrogen and methane were both lower than the 30 min-value, the 0 min-value was taken as the baseline, and induded into the D0 dataset (5 556 cases), and other situations were induded into the D1 dataset (7 098 cases). There were 2 879 SIBO-negative cases and 2 659 SIBO-positive cases in D0 dataset, and 4 249 SIBO-negative cases and 2 849 SIBO-positive cases in D1 dataset. The hydrogen and methane level at each testing time point in the SIBO-negative and SIBO-positive individuals, the difference between the peak gas level at 90 min and the baseline, and the distribution of time points at which peak level occurred were analyzed. Independent-sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The overall SIBO positive rate was 43.53% (5 508/12 654). In SIBO-positive cases the hydrogen level at 0, 30, 60, and 90 min were 9.41×10 -6 (5.01×10 -6, 21.90×10 -6), 11.34×10 -6 (6.13×10 -6, 22.94×10 -6), 18.16×10 -6 (11.03×10 -6, 29.37×10 -6) and 29.59×10 -6 (20.12×10 -6, 43.36×10 -6), respectively, and methane level were 9.13×10 -6 (7.12×10 -6, 12.03×10 -6), 9.23×10 -6 (8.07×10 -6, 12.03×10 -6), 10.21×10 -6 (9.02×10 -6, 13.01×10 -6), and 12.03×10 -6 (10.01×10 -6, 14.11×10 -6), respectively, which were higher than those of SIBO-negative cases (6.04×10 -6 (3.10×10 -6, 11.08×10 -6), 6.04×10 -6 (3.21×10 -6, 10.06×10 -6), 6.95×10 -6 (4.03×10 -6, 11.01×10 -6), 8.96×10 -6 (5.01×10 -6, 13.91×10 -6); 8.04×10 -6 (7.02×10 -6, 10.00×10 -6), 8.03×10 -6 (7.03×10 -6, 9.95×10 -6), 8.04×10 -6 (7.03×10 -6, 10.00×10 -6) 8.98×10 -6 (7.12×10 -6, 10.03×10 -6)], and the differences were statistically significant ( U=1.41×10 7, 1.09×10 7, 6.66×10 6, 4.14×10 6, 1.51×10 7, 1.23×10 7, 1.02×10 7, 8.86×10 6; all P<0.001). In both D0 and D1 datasets, the increase in hydrogen and methane of SIBO positive subgroup were higher than those of SIBO negative subgroup (22.39×10 -6(14.82×10 -6, 33.37×10 -6) vs. 4.82×10 -6(1.96×10 -6, 7.85×10 -6), 20.61×10 -6(7.87×10 -6, 31.44×10 -6) vs. 3.25×10 -6(0.79×10 -6, 7.88×10 -6); 3.98×10 -6(2.87×10 -6, 6.87×10 -6) vs. 1.95×10 -6(0.98×10 -6, 2.99×10 -6), 2.95×10 -6(0.98×10 -6, 4.93×10 -6) vs. 0.98×10 -6(0.00×10 -6, 1.99×10 -6)), and the differences were statistically significant( U=7.24×10 6, 9.72×10 6, 5.74×10 6, 8.27×10 6; all P<0.001). In both D0 and D1 datasets, hydrogen and methane concentrations peaked at 90 min. Conclusion:HMBT can be used for non-invasive diagnosis of SIBO in Chinese population, and the differences in hydrogen and methane concentrations at 90 min of the test have critical value for SIBO diagnosis.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of lamb′s tripe extract and vitamin B 12 capsule (LTEVB 12C) on chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) at different locations (antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, corpus lesser curvature, and corpus greater curvature). Methods:From August 2011 to January 2013, 715 patients with CAG in a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial were enrolled from 16 tertiary first-class hospitals across the country, including the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Medical University, Nanfang Hospital of Southern Medical University, the First Hospital of Jilin University, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, etc., there were 476 cases in the LTEVB 12C group and 239 cases in the placebo group. The patients of the LTEVB 12C group received LTEVB 12C, and the patients of placebo group received LTEVB 12C mimetic, all the medications were taken 3 capsules each time and 3 times a day after meals, and the treatment course of 2 groups were both 6 months. The efficacy evaluation criteria included the effective rate (a decrease of ≥1 in histopathological score compared with baseline after 6 months of treatment) and the reversal rate (a decrease of ≥ 2 in histopathological score compared with baseline after 6 months of treatment in the patients with moderate to severe CAG). The impact of lesion sites on the therapeutic effects of LTEVB 12C was analyzed by logistic regression analysis. The two-way unordered Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test considering the center effect and Pearson chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The effective rates of chronic inflammation at the antrum greater curvature and corpus greater curvature (23.3%, 110/473 vs. 13.0%, 31/239; 20.3%, 96/472 vs. 12.6%, 30/239), the effective rates of atrophy at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, corpus lesser curvature, and the corpus greater curvature (27.0%, 118/437 vs. 15.7%, 34/216; 29.2%, 126/432 vs. 18.5%, 38/205; 27.8%, 121/435 vs. 16.7%, 36/216; 32.5%, 127/391 vs. 19.8%, 37/187; 33.0%, 119/361 vs. 21.8%, 39/179), and the effective rates of intestinal metaplasia at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the corpus lesser curvature (45.0%, 112/249 vs. 29.8%, 31/104; 53.8%, 86/160 vs. 33.9%, 21/62; 45.8%, 103/225 vs. 24.0%, 25/104; 51.9%, 83/160 vs. 28.3%, 17/60) of the LTEVB 12C group were all higher than those of the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=10.76, 6.39, 9.69, 7.91, 11.05, 9.62, 8.57, 5.20, 7.11, 12.45, and 6.73; all P<0.05). The reversal rates of chronic inflammation at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature (5.2%, 12/231 vs. 0, 0/123; 4.7%, 8/170 vs. 0, 0/88), the reversal rates of atrophy at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, corpus lesser curvature, and the corpus greater curvature (6.8%, 22/323 vs. 1.3%, 2/151; 9.2%, 29/315 vs. 1.4%, 2/144; 14.2%, 38/267 vs. 2.5%, 3/121; 20.8%, 35/168 vs. 5.8%, 4/69), and the reversal rates of intestinal metaplasia at the antrum lesser curvature, antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the corpus lesser curvature (29.8%, 39/131 vs. 9.1%, 4/44; 41.0%, 32/78 vs. 12.5%, 3/24; 33.3%, 44/132 vs. 4.8%, 3/63; 50.0%, 37/74 vs. 8.7%, 2/23) of the LTEVB 12C group were all higher than those of the placebo group, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=6.58, 5.12, 5.60, 8.61, 11.43, 6.59, 7.30, 4.95, 15.92, 7.62; all P<0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in the effective rates and reversal rates of active inflammation at different locations between the LTEVB 12C group and the placebo group (all P>0.05). The results of logistic regression analysis (taking the antrum lesser curvature as the reference) further confirmed that the reversal rates of chronic inflammation ( OR=0.22, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.07 to 0.67; OR=0.24, 95% CI: 0.07 to 0.80), atrophy ( OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49; OR=0.28, 95% CI: 0.16 to 0.49), and intestinal metaplasia ( OR=0.42, 95% CI: 0.24 to 0.77; OR=0.20, 95% CI: 0.08 to 0.52) at the corpus lesser curvature and corpus greater curvature were all higher than those at the antrum lesser curvature, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). There were no statistically siginificant differences in the reversal rates of the aforementioned pathological features between the antrum greater curvature, gastric angle, and the antrum lesser curvature (all P>0.05). Conclusion:LTEVB 12C can achieve good efficacy in the treatment of CAG, and the chronic inflammation, atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia at multiple locations are improved, especially at the corpus lesser curvature and the corpus greater curvature.

Cancer is a major chronic disease that threatens human health, while traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a unique method for cancer prevention and treatment in China. After about 70 years of innovation and development, TCM has made constant progress in areas such as the clinical diagnosis, treatment, evidence-based researches, and mechanism exploration of cancer. It has special advantages in aspects such as reducing toxicity, enhancing treatment efficacy, managing symptoms, accelerating recovery, preventing recurrence and metastasis, and prolonging advanced-stage survival. However, there are still bottlenecks for TCM in cancer care. This paper cuts in the key links between TCM and western medicine in their combined application in cancer prevention and treatment, and take the original TCM theories on cancer as the lead, high-quality evidence-based researches as the drive, and analysis on the dynamic mechanism as the core, to show the advantages and effects of TCM in cancer treatment in an all-round way. It also aims to provide novel strategies for sustainable and innovative development and for formulation of comprehensive schemes that integrate TCM and western medicine for cancer prevention and treatment.

Objective To analyze the epidemiological distribution characteristics and influencing factors of treat-ment outcome of pulmonary tuberculosis(PTB)patients complicated with diabetes mellitus(DM)in Bijie City from 2017 to 2022,and provide reference for formulating prevention and control measures of PTB-DM.Methods The registered management cases of PTB patients combined with DM from the tuberculosis surveillance report informa-tion management system in Bijie City in 2017-2022 were collected.Changing trends in annual registration rates and successful treatment rates were analyzed with Joint-point regression models.Different characteristics between pa-tients with PTB-DM and PTB alone were conducted comparative analysis;the influencing factors of treatment out-come were analyzed by x2 test and binary logistic regression analysis.Results A total of 679 PTB-DM patients were registered in Bijie City from 2017 to 2022,accounting for 1.53%of total PTB patients,the annual registration rate increased from 1.11/100 000 in 2017 to 3.08/100 000 in 2022,with an increasing trend in the annual percentage change(APC=26.67%,95%CI:5.36%-52.29%,t=3.564,P=0.024).In the analysis on characteristics,the proportion of PTB-DM male patients,age ≥45 years and farmers,the ratio of direct consultation to transfer treat-ment,the pathogenicity positive rate,the proportion re-treatment,and rate of delay in consultation were all higher than those of PTB alone;successful treatment rate and proportion of floating population were all lower than PTB alone,difference were all statistically significant(all P<0.05).The successful treatment rate of PTB-DM patients in Bijie City from 2017 to 2022 was 87.80%.Age,occupation,pathogenicity diagnosis results were influencing fac-tors for treatment outcome in patients with PTB-DM,with farmers(OR=3.68,95%CI:1.22-11.09),with pathogenicity positivity(OR=2.84,95%CI:1.24-6.50),and without pathogenic detection result+tuberculous pleurisy(OR=11.35,95%CI:2.16-59.74)being risk factors for successful treatment.Conclusion Although the proportion of PTB-DM in the total PTB patients in Bijie City from 2017 to 2022 was not high,it showed an up-ward trend;it is necessary to attach great importance to male,re-treated,farmer,and pathogenicity positivity co-morbid patients in Bijie City,and strengthen the two-way screening of PTB-DM in high-risk populations.
