According to the Qi-blood-body fluid theory and the association between the spleen in visceral manifestation theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and mitochondria in modern cellular biology， it is proposed that the role of the spleen in generating and transforming Qi and blood is analogous to the energy-producing function of mitochondria—both serving as fundamental power sources for vital activities of the human body. The spleen governs transportation and transformation， playing a critical role in energy metabolism and the digestion and absorption of nutrients. Similarly， mitochondria are vital for maintaining physiological functions such as cellular energy supply， cell survival， and overall human metabolism. Furthermore， spleen deficiency is closely linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. Accordingly， mitochondrial energy conversion and substance metabolism are regarded as the microscopic essence of the spleen's function in transportation and transformation. Spleen deficiency and mitochondrial dysfunction contribute to the formation of pathological products such as phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis. This aligns with the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）， with Qi deficiency as the root cause and phlegm-turbidity and blood stasis as the manifestations. Therefore， the integrative treatment of COPD should follow the therapeutic principle of invigorating the spleen and reinforcing healthy Qi， while also resolving phlegm and removing blood stasis to address both root cause and manifestations. This approach can improve the mitochondrial function， regulate energy metabolism， and reduce oxidative stress levels to alleviate COPD symptoms， slow down disease progression， and improve prognosis. By integrating the holistic concept of TCM with molecular mechanisms of modern medicine， this paper explores the pathogenesis and therapeutic principles of COPD from the spleen-mitochondria correlation. It not only provides a new direction for the modern development of TCM and the integration of Chinese and Western medicine but also offers a theoretical foundation for the integrated treatment of chronic， complex age-related diseases.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD）， as one of the three major causes of death， is a complex systemic disease with high prevalence， high mortality， high disability， frequent acute exacerbations， and a variety of pulmonary complications. The pathogenesis is complex. Western medicine has no effective specificity scheme for a complete cure. However， multiple-component and multiple-target characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） demonstrate significant advantages in COPD treatment through multi-link， multi-pathway， and multi-mechanism intervention. Therefore， exploring the essence of COPD pathogenesis and discovering effective TCM treatment drugs through the application of TCM principles and prescriptions is a key focus of modern research. Animal models are of paramount importance in medical research. It is the first consideration to select appropriate animals， adopt reasonable modeling methods to replicate stable animal models that closely resemble the clinical manifestations and pathophysiological characteristics of COPD， and use appropriate evaluation methods to determine the success of COPD animal models in experimental research. The core of experimental research lies in observing the intervention effect of TCM on COPD animal models， exploring the specific pathways and regulatory mechanisms of TCM on COPD disease， and finding TCM monomers， single herbs， and TCM formulas with definite curative effects. At present， animal model research on COPD mainly involves model establishment， model evaluation， efficacy observation， mechanism exploration， and other aspects. In recent years， there has been no systematic organization， update， and reflection on the relevant research on TCM intervention in COPD animal models. This study reviewed the selection of animals for the COPD model， methods for establishing COPD animal models， model evaluation methods， and the intervention effects of TCM on COPD animal models. It aims to grasp the current research status and identify existing problems for further improvement， in order to provide evidence and support for scientific research and clinical treatment of COPD.

Guided by the pathogenesis of"structure-activity imbalance of lung collaterals",this paper proposes that structure-activity imbalance of lung collaterals is the initial factor of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)and elucidates the pathogenesis of abnormal changes in biomechanical properties of IPF.It is postulated that the changes of biomechanical properties of lung tissue are closely related to the injury of lung qi collaterals,the abnormal mechanical stress are closely related to the injury of lung blood collaterals,and the biomechanical response of intrapulmonary resident cells is closely related to the structure-activity imbalance of lung collaterals,which ultimately leading to abnormal increase in lung tissue stiffness and progressive scarring formation in lung tissue.Integrating traditional pathogenesis concepts with microscopic pathological changes,and the in-depth exploration of the correlation between the structure-activity imbalance of lung collaterals and the biomechanical properties of IPF can provide direction for exploring IPF medical-engineering cross research,which are of great significance for enriching the syndrome and treatment system of lung collateral diseases.

BACKGROUND:The imbalance between proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes plays an important role in the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis. Previous studies have found that hsa-miR-3202 is involved in regulating the proliferation and apoptosis of various cells. However,no studies have explored the correlation between hsa-miR-3202 and osteoarthritis.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression of hsa-miR-3202 in osteoarthritic chondrocytes and its effect on the proliferation and apoptosis of chondrocytes. METHODS:(1) MicroRNAs differentially expressed in osteoarthritic chondrocytes were screened by biogenic analysis. Based on the current research situation at home and abroad,hsa-miR-3202 was selected for follow-up studies,and its target genes were predicted by gene ontology (GO) functional enrichment and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment. (2) Human normal chondrocyte cell lines C28/I2 in logarithmic growth phase were selected and randomly divided into four groups for culture:in normal group,cells were cultured in normal medium for 24 hours,the medium was then changed to normal medium for another 6 hours of culture,and changed to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours,the medium was then changed to normal medium for another 6 hours,and changed to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide+NC group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours,and then transfected with has-miR-3202 mimics control for 6 hours,and the medium was change to normal medium for subsequent culture;in lipopolysaccharide+hsa-miR-3202 mimics group,cells were cultured in lipopolysaccharide-containing medium for 24 hours and then transfected with has-miR-3202 mimics for 6 hours,and the medium was changed to normal medium for subsequent culture. After further 48 hours of culture,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 was detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR and cell apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry. After further culture of 0-72 hours,cell proliferation activity was detected by cell counting kit-8. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Bioinformatics analysis results indicated that hsa-miR-3202 was significantly down-regulated in osteoarthritic chondrocytes. GO functional enrichment and KEGG pathway enrichment showed that the function of hsa-miR-3202 target gene was closely related to cell growth and apoptosis. The results of in vitro cell experiments showed that compared with the normal group,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 and proliferation ability of chondrocytes were significantly decreased in the lipopolysaccharide group (P<0.05),while the apoptotic rate was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with the lipopolysaccharide group,the expression level of hsa-miR-3202 and proliferation ability of chondrocytes were significantly increased in the lipopolysaccharide+hsa-miR-3202 mimics group (P<0.05),while the apoptotic rate was significantly decreased (P<0.05). To conclude,the expression of hsa-miR-3202 is down-regulated in osteoarthritic chondrocytes to inhibit cell proliferation and promote cell apoptosis,thus affecting the occurrence and development of osteoarthritis.
