By exploring theories related to yin-yang， body and spirit， and the relationship between nature and human beings， this study proposed the holistic functional perspective in Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） rehabi-litation. This perspective emphasizes the influence of various internal and external factors on the body's function and health status， with the integration of form and spirit as its core concept. It integrates the principles of correspondence between nature and human beings， as well as the unity of individuals and society， positioning holistic function as the key focus in TCM rehabilitation practice. It guides the prevention， assessment， and rehabilitation treatment of functional disorders， ultimately achieving the goal of comprehensive recovery of health. Additionally， the study reviewed the current application status of the holistic functional perspective in clinical TCM rehabilitation， clarified its integration throughout the entire TCM rehabilitation process， with the goal of providing a theoretical and practical foundation for further research and application in TCM rehabilitation.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of amentoflavone (AF) for alleviating lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and inhibiting NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 axis-mediated pyroptosis. METHODS: Female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group, LPS group, and AF treatment groups at low, moderate and high doses (n=12). ALI models were established by tracheal LPS instillation, and in AF treatment groups, AF was administered by gavage 30 min before LPS instillation. Six hours after LPS instillation, the mice were euthanized for examining lung tissue histopathological changes, protein levels in BALF, and MPO levels in the lung tissue. In the in vitro experiment, RAW264.7 cells were pretreated with AF, AC (a pyroptosis inhibitor), or their combination for 2 h before stimulation with LPS and ATP. The changes in cell proliferation and viability were detected using CCK-8 assay, and IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF-α levels were determined with ELISA. Immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence assay, and immunoblotting were used to detect the protein levels of NLRP3, ASC, cleaved caspase-1, and GSDMD N in rat lung tissues and the treated cells. RESULTS: In mice with LPS exposure, AF treatment significantly improved lung pathologies and edema, reduced protein levels in BALF and pulmonary MPO level, inhibited the high expression of NLRP3/ASC/Aspase-1 axis, reduced the expression of GSDMD N, and lowered the release of IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18, and TNF‑α. In RAW264.7 cells with LPS and ATP stimulation, AF pretreatment effectively reduced cell death, inhibited activation of the NLRP3/ASC/Aspase-1 axis, and reduced GSDMD N expression and the inflammatory factors. The pyroptosis inhibitor showed a similar effect to AF, and their combination produced more pronounced effects in RAW264.7 cells. CONCLUSIONS Amentoflavone can alleviate ALI in mice possibly by inhibiting NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 axis-mediated cell pyroptosis.

Reprogramming of energy metabolism is one of the basic characteristics of cancer and has been proved to be an important cancer treatment strategy. Isocitrate dehydrogenases (IDHs) are a class of key proteins in energy metabolism, including IDH1, IDH2, and IDH3, which are involved in the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate to yield α-ketoglutarate (α-KG). Mutants of IDH1 or IDH2 can produce d-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) with α-KG as the substrate, and then mediate the occurrence and development of cancer. At present, no IDH3 mutation has been reported. The results of pan-cancer research showed that IDH1 has a higher mutation frequency and involves more cancer types than IDH2, implying IDH1 as a promising anti-cancer target. Therefore, in this review, we summarized the regulatory mechanisms of IDH1 on cancer from four aspects: metabolic reprogramming, epigenetics, immune microenvironment, and phenotypic changes, which will provide guidance for the understanding of IDH1 and exploring leading-edge targeted treatment strategies. In addition, we also reviewed available IDH1 inhibitors so far. The detailed clinical trial results and diverse structures of preclinical candidates illustrated here will provide a deep insight into the research for the treatment of IDH1-related cancers.

Brain glucose metabolism disorder is one of the pathophysiological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), in which aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) metabolic pathway abnormality is one of the causes of early cognitive impairment in AD, and improving brain energy metabolism has become an important strategy to prevent AD. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central hub regulating glucose metabolism, the most sensitive molecular compound for sensing fluctuations of energy levels in the body. Activation of AMPK can affect the Warburg effect and its key rate-limiting enzyme activity, regulate brain glucose metabolism involved in the pathogenesis of AD, to achieve the purpose of delaying AD progression and improving cognitive function in early clinical stage. In this review, we will discuss the pathogenesis of AD and targeting of AMPK from the perspective of Warburg effect in glucose metabolism.

Stroke at the acute stage is a major cause of disability in adults, and is associated with dysfunction of brain networks. However, the mechanisms underlying changes in brain connectivity in stroke are far from fully elucidated. In the present study, we investigated brain metabolism and metabolic connectivity in a rat ischemic stroke model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) at the acute stage using F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography. Voxel-wise analysis showed decreased metabolism mainly in the ipsilesional hemisphere, and increased metabolism mainly in the contralesional cerebellum. We used further metabolic connectivity analysis to explore the brain metabolic network in MCAO. Compared to sham controls, rats with MCAO showed most significantly reduced nodal and local efficiency in the ipsilesional striatum. In addition, the MCAO group showed decreased metabolic central connection of the ipsilesional striatum with the ipsilesional cerebellum, ipsilesional hippocampus, and bilateral hypothalamus. Taken together, the present study demonstrated abnormal metabolic connectivity in rats at the acute stage of ischemic stroke, which might provide insight into clinical research.

With the development of aging population, the morbidity of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is increasing. Electroacupuncture on several acupoints, especially Baihui (GV20), may improve the cognitive function, brain morphology, and reduceβ-amyloid deposition and tau protein phosphorylation, in AD models.

This paper systematically summarized the core problems in the field of medical and health services and did the root analysis.It is concluded that the current domestic and international related medical service modes deviated from the essence of health services and led to difficulties in the idea and method,bringing people to new problems and new crises.KY3H health care service model,set innovative ideas,innovative technical methods,innovative products,innovative processes,standards and standards into one,by providing a full range and the whole cycle of people-oriented,self-help,"diagnosis and treatment of security" integration of health careservice,improve people's health status,fundamentally change the traditional passive "seeking medical treatment" service mode,to active "seeking one's own" health service mode,so as to achieve "health status continues to rise,the medical costs continue to decline,"which is the social development aims.The paper systematically analyzes the idea,operational logic,goal,mode structure,characteristics of the model,and its significance to individuals,industries,society,countries and even the international community in order to make a positive contribution to the healthy development strategy in China and provide a Chinese case for global Health.

KY3H is a traditional Chinese medicine health care service mode based on the existing problem,focusing on an interconnected and continuous integration of four key technological innovation,which promotes the service model transformation from passive "doctor-searching" to "asking yourself ".There are four features on KY3H mode.First,based on traditional Chinese medicine meridian and viscera theory,it can accurately identify the health status and take risk assessment of individuals through digital quantitative model.Then,the mode realizes the personalized health status recognition and precisious intervention through integrated technology products of dynamic monitoring and identification,assessment and intervention with independent intellectual property rights.The third is to improve the intelligence,realtime and accessibility of KY3H health care services through developing the Chinese-western medicine informationalized software system about health status identification,assessment and intervention.The last one is formulating traditional Chinese medicine health care standards,industry standards and service package design,which drive KY3H health service model spreading effectively and practical applying,achieving remarkable social and economic benefits.

Vigorously development of the health service industry has received great attention,but the health service industry faces many difficulties.By analyzing the current predicament,this paper put forward the KY3H health care service model and systematically analyzed its six innovations:from "disease as the center" to "health as the center",from "homogenized group health service" to "Personalized and Humanized Health Service",from "Extensive Health Service"to "Precise Intervention of Individual Health Status",from "Single Health Service" to "Trinity Service of Health,Culture,Health Management and Health Insurance",from the "seeking medical" service model to "seeking one's own"service model,as well as from the "fixed (fixed-time,fixed-point,fixed-mode) service" to "anytime,anywhere full-time service".This model has achieved initial success in practice.It is an important way to solve the dilemma.

Objective To investigate the relationship between learning and memory deficit and demyelination of the corpus callosum in twelve-month old APP/PS1 transgenic mice. Methods Twelve twelve-month old APP/PS1 transgenic mice were as AD group, and age-matched wild type (WT) littermates were as WT group. Learning and memory ability was tested with Morris water maze, and the mor-phology of nerve fiber of corpus callosum was detected with Luxol Fast Blue staining. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect myelin ba-sic protein (MBP) in the corpus callosum. Thioflavine S staining was used to detect amyloid plaque in the corpus callosum. Results Com-pared with WT group, the latency increased (Z>2.873, P<0.01) and the times crossing the location of the platform decreased (t=-7.339, P<0.001) in AD group. The nerve fibers were sparse and disorganized, with a lot of vacuoles in the corpus callosum of AD group. The positive expression of MBP in the corpus callosum was significantly decreased (t=-4.481, P<0.001) in AD group compared with WT group. There were amyloid plaques in the corpus callosum of AD group. Conclusion Twelve-month old APP/PS1 transgenic mice exhibit learning and memory deficit, which may be attributed to the deposition of the amyloid plaque mediated demyelinated injury of the corpus callosum.
