The theory of constitution in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has emerged as a new discipline in recent years. Constitution plays a vital role in the onset，progression，transformation，and prognosis of diseases. At present，some clinical scholars have adopted a novel diagnostic and treatment model of "constitution differentiation-disease identification-syndrome differentiation"，in which constitution is regarded as a core element throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Constitution is closely associated with etiology，onset，pathogenesis，syndrome differentiation，and treatment. Against this background，the construction of animal models based on constitution holds far-reaching significance for advancing clinical research. This paper focuses on the construction and evaluation of rodent models with Qi-deficiency constitution，aiming to explore how to further induce Qi-deficiency syndromes and related disease states on the basis of Qi-deficiency constitution models，thereby developing an integrated animal model that embodies the trinity of "constitution-disease-syndrome". The establishment of this model not only provides a solid experimental foundation for the development of new therapies and drugs in TCM targeting specific constitutions，diseases，and syndromes，but also greatly promotes the modernization and scientific advancement of TCM theory. By comprehensively applying multidisciplinary technologies and methods，the study evaluates the model's validity，reliability，and practicality，with the aim of opening new avenues for future research in TCM and promoting the development of the field.

Childhood simple obesity has become a significant public health issue in China. Modern medicine primarily relies on lifestyle interventions and often suffers from poor long-term compliance， while pharmacological options are limited and associated with potential adverse effects. Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） has a long history in the prevention and management of this condition， demonstrating eight distinct advantages， including systematic theoretical foundation， diversified therapeutic approaches， definite therapeutic efficacy， high safety profile， good patient compliance， comprehensive intervention strategies， emphasis on prevention， and stepwise treatment protocols. Additionally， TCM is characterized by six distinctive features： the use of natural medicinal substances， non-invasive external therapies， integration of medicinal dietetics， simple exercise regimens， precise syndrome differentiation， and diverse dosage forms. By combining internal and external treatments， TCM facilitates individualized regimen adjustment and holistic regulation， demonstrating remarkable effects in improving obesity-related metabolic indicators， regulating constitutional imbalance， and promoting healthy behaviors. However， challenges remain， such as inconsistent operational standards， insufficient high-quality clinical evidence， and a gap between basic research and clinical application. Future efforts should focus on accelerating the standardization of TCM diagnosis and treatment， conducting multicenter randomized controlled trials， and fostering interdisciplinary integration， so as to enhance the scientific validity and international recognition of TCM in the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression levels of miR-128-3p， SIRT1， and AMPK in the peripheral blood of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus （T2DM） comorbid with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease （NAFLD）， as well as the role of miR-128-3p in predicting NAFLD in T2DM patients. MethodsA total of 80 patients with T2DM who were hospitalized in The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from September 2022 to August 2023 were enrolled and divided into T2DM group with 40 patients and NAFLD group with 40 patients， and according to the NAFLD fibrosis score （NFS）， the patients were further divided into progressive liver fibrosis group with 16 patients and non-progressive liver fibrosis group with 64 patients. General data and biochemical parameters were collected； quantitative real-time PCR was used to measure the mRNA expression levels of miR-128-3p， SIRT1， and AMPK in peripheral blood， and Western blot was used to measure the protein expression levels of SIRT1 and AMPK. The independent-samples t test was used for comparison of normally distributed data between two groups， and the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of data with skewed distribution between two groups； the chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the influencing factors for the presence of NAFLD and progressive liver fibrosis， and the receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of miR-128-3p for predicting NAFLD. ResultsThere were significant differences between the NAFLD group and the non-NAFLD group in body mass index， fasting plasma glucose， glycated hemoglobin， fasting insulin， fasting C-peptide， alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase， gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase， alkaline phosphatase， fibronectin， triglycerides， high-density lipoprotein cholesterol， total triiodothyronine （TT3）， Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance （HOMA-IR）， and NFS （all P<0.05）. Compared with the non-NAFLD group， the NAFLD group had a significantly higher mRNA expression level of miR-128-3p in peripheral blood （t=-8.765， P<0.001） and significant reductions in the mRNA and proteins expression levels of SIRT1 and AMPK （P<0.001）. There were significant differences between the progressive liver fibrosis group and the non-progressive liver fibrosis group in age， ALT， free triiodothyronine， TT3， superoxide dismutase， and miR-128-3p （all P<0.05）. The logistic regression analysis showed that miR-128-3p was an independent risk factor for the development of NAFLD （odds ratio ［OR］=8.221， 95% confidence interval ［CI］： 2.735 — 24.714， P<0.001） and progressive liver fibrosis （OR=1.493， 95%CI： 1.117‍ ‍—‍ ‍1.997， P=0.007）. The ROC curve analysis showed that miR-128-3p had an area under the ROC curve of 0.890 （95%CI： 0.829 — 0.950）， with an optimal cut-off value of 13.165， a sensitivity of 89.3%， and a specificity of 72.7%. ConclusionThere is an increase in the expression of miR-128-3p in peripheral blood of T2DM patients with NAFLD， while there are reductions in the expression levels of SIRT1 and AMPK， suggesting that miR-128-3p has a certain diagnostic value in identifying NAFLD and liver fibrosis in such population.

[Objective] To establish a method for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for injection. [Methods] By adding the sample and factor Ⅶ deficient plasma to the sample cup and activating the reaction with prothrombin time assay reagent (PT reagent), the coagulation time of the sample was determined by the change in magnetic bead swing amplitude in the sample cup. The logarithm of coagulation time was inversely proportional to the logarithm of human factor Ⅶa potency. [Results] Under the experimental conditions, the specificity of the methodology was evaluated through spiked recovery, and the recovery rates ranged from 90.0% to 110.0%. Within the range from 0.125 to 1.000 IU/mL, there was a good linear response between the potency and coagulation time of the standard and sample, with correlation coefficients r>0.99. As for the accuracy and repeatability, the recovery rates of various concentrations detected in the stock solution were 101.0%, 100.0% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 2.6%, 4.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The recovery rates of various concentrations in finished product testing were 104.0%, 94.7% and 112.0%, respectively, with RSD values of 1.9%, 2.4% and 0.0%, respectively. As for the intermediate precision, the RSD were 4.5% and 3.7%, respectively. After treated with sample diluent, the sample was tested at room temperature for 6 hours and still exhibited relatively stable biological activity. [Conclusion] This detection method is accurate, stable, easy to operate and highly automated, and is suitable for detecting the potency of recombinant human coagulation factor Ⅶa for Injection.

AIM: To explore the therapeutic effects of diquafosol sodium eye drops combined with sodium hyaluronate eye drops on dry eye syndrome after cataract surgery.METHODS:This study is a prospective randomized controlled study. Totally 360 patients(360 eyes)with dry eye syndrome after cataract surgery admitted to the ophthalmology department of our hospital from November 2022 to October 2024 were selected as the research subjects, and they were randomly divided into a control group(n=180)and an observation group(n=180). The control group received postoperative treatment with sodium hyaluronate eye drops, while the observation group received postoperative treatment with diquafosol sodium eye drops combined with sodium hyaluronate eye drops. Both groups of patients were treated for 4 wk. The clinical efficacy, dry eye clinical symptom score and ocular surface disease index(OSDI)questionnaire, Schirmer's test(SⅠt), tear film break-up time(BUT), corneal fluorescence staining(FL)score, hexagonality(HEX), coefficient of variation(CV)of corneal endothelial cells were compared between the two groups before and after treatment, and the occurrence of adverse reactions during treatment in both groups was recorded.RESULTS:Both groups were followed up for 4 wk, and no cases were lost. The total clinical effective rate of the observation group was 93.9%, which was higher than 84.5% of the control group(P<0.05). After treatment for 4 wk, the clinical symptom score, OSDI scores and FL scores in both groups decreased, and the observation group had lower scores than those of the control group(all P<0.001); both SⅠt and BUT increased in both groups, and the observation group had a higher value than those of the control group(all P<0.001). After treatment for 4 wk, the HEX in both groups increased(P<0.05), and those in the observation group were higher(P<0.05); the CV of the two groups decreased(P<0.05), and the observation group was lower(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:Compared to sodium hyaluronate eye drops alone, diquafosol sodium eye drops combined with sodium hyaluronate eye drops have a better therapeutic effect on patients with dry eye syndrome after cataract surgery. It can significantly improve the patient's eye symptoms, promote the recovery of eye surface function, stabilize the tear film, and regulate corneal endothelial cell status.

BackgroundMetabolic syndrome （MetS） is highly prevalent in patients with mental disorders， including elevated diastolic or systolic blood pressure， elevated fasting glucose， hypercholesterolemia， abdominal obesity and so on. As an important component of MetS， the relationship between hypercholesterolemia and mental disorder has been extensively reported， whereas few genome-wide association studies （GWAS） have been conducted to identify the causal role of mental disorders in hypercholesterolemia. ObjectiveTo explore the potential causal relationship between mental disorders and hypercholesterolemia by two-sample Mendelian randomization （MR） method. MethodsSummary data from GWAS were analyzed. Single nucleotide polymorphisms （SNPs） strongly associated with mental disorders were chosen as instrumental variables， and hypercholesterolemia was used as outcome variable. MR analysis utilized inverse-variance weighted （IVW）， MR-Egger regression and weighted median estimation （WME） as the primary analytical tool， and supplemented by simple mode （SM） and weighted mode （WM）. The causal relationship between mental disorders and the risk of hypercholesterolemia was illustrated in terms of odds ratio （OR）. ResultsA total of 36 SNPs associated with mental disorders were identified as instrumental variables. The primary findings from IVW revealed existence of a causal relationship between mental disorders and hypercholesterolemia （IVW： OR=1.067， 95% CI： 1.026~1.109， P=0.001）. Findings from the additional methods （MR-Egger regression， WME， SM， WM） were basically consistent with those reported in IVW method. Further verification indicated that the causal relationship between mental disorders and the risk of hypercholesterolemia was not affected by genetic polymorphism （P>0.05）. The absence of heterogeneity was confirmed through Cochran's Q test and MR-Egger regression （P>0.05）. Furthermore， no causal association in the reverse direction was found （P>0.05）. ConclusionThere is a causal relationship between mental disorders and hypercholesterolemia， and patients with mental disorders may have an increased probability of suffering from hypercholesterolemia.

Objective: To analyze the status of outdoor activities on weekends among children and adolescents of different educational stages in Shanghai and their impact on myopia, so as to provide a basis for formulating more specific prevention and control protocol of myopia. Methods: From September to October 2022, a stratified cluster random sampling method was employed to select 84 schools (27 kindergartens, 21 primary schools, 15 junior high schools and 21 high schools) across Shanghai, enrolling a total of 28 654 children and adolescents aged 4 to 18 for the study. Ophthalmic examinations were conducted to ascertain the prevalence of myopia among children and adolescents. Additionally, a questionnaire survey was administered to collect data on outdoor activity duration and associated factors. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was utilized to investigate the associated factors of outdoor activity levels on weekends. Results: The overall myopia detection rate among children and adolescents was 58.4%, with a higher rate observed in girls (59.2%) compared to boys (57.6%). The myopia detection rates for children and adolescents with an average daily outdoor activity duration of ≥2 h and <2 h on weekends were 54.6% and 68.8%, and the differences were statistically significant ( χ 2=8.12,460.89, P <0.01). Multivariable Logistic regression analysis revealed that girls ( OR =0.80), those with a myopic parent ( OR =0.68), schools from urban districts ( OR =0.72), higher education stages (primary school: OR =0.65, junior high school: OR =0.24, high school: OR =0.14) and spending≥2 h/d on homework during weekends ( OR =0.57) among children and adolescents were less likely to engage in outdoor activities for ≥2 h on weekends ( P <0.01). After incorporating gender, parental myopia status, educational stage, school location, average daily duration on weekends for spending on homework, electronic product usage and outdoor activities as dependent variables in a multivariate Logistic regression analysis, the results showed that children and adolescents with an average outdoor activity duration for ≥2 h on weekends had a lower risk of myopia ( OR =0.86, P < 0.01). Conclusions The level of outdoor activity among children and adolescents on weekends needs to be improved. Outdoor activities on weekends is an associated factor for myopia among children and adolescents. Particularly, girls, those with myopic parents, schools from urban districts, and spending long hours on homework during weekends among children and adolescents require increased attention.
