As the core carrier of the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the modern expanded application of classic formulae is an inevitable trend for TCM to adapt to the changes in disease spectrum and achieve academic development. However, several challenges remain, including the vague definition of syndrome-formula ontology between ancient and modern times, the insufficient adaptability of the evidence grading system, and the disconnection between theory and clinical practice, having severely restricted the precise application and standardized development of classic formulae. Based on the current status of the modern expanded application of classic formulae, and grounded in the core theory of formula-syndrome correspondence in TCM, this paper constructs a theoretical framework of "syndrome-formula ontology reconstruction". The framework systematically expounds its core connotations, theoretical foundations and practical logic, and further clarifies the reconstruction direction of the TCM-specific evidence grading system by taking correspondence between formula and syndrome as the core, constructing a multi-dimensional and integrated evaluation framework, and adhering to the orientation of clinical application. The ultimate goal is to form a theoretical paradigm characterized by "syndrome-formula ontology reconstruction-evidence grading reconstruction-precise clinical application", thereby providing theoretical support for the digital inheritance, evidence-based development, and modern application of classical prescriptions.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of leaflet augmentation technique to repair the recurrent mitral valve (MV) regurgitation after mitral repair in children. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of children who underwent redo MV repair for recurrent regurgitation after initial MV repair, using a leaflet augmentation technique combined with a standardized repair strategy at Fuwai Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from 2018 to 2022. The pathological features of the MV, key intraoperative procedures, and short- to mid-term follow-up outcomes were analyzed. Results A total of 24 patients (12 male, 12 female) were included, with a median age of 37.6 (range, 16.5–120.0) months. The mean interval from the initial surgery was (24.9±17.0) months. All children had severe mitral regurgitation preoperatively. The cardiopulmonary bypass time was (150.1±49.5) min, and the aortic cross-clamp time was (94.0±24.2) min. There were no early postoperative deaths. During a mean follow-up of (20.3±9.1) months, 3 (12.5%) patients developed moderate or severe mitral regurgitation (2 severe, 1 moderate). One (4.2%) patient died during follow-up, and one (4.2%) patient underwent a second MV reoperation. The left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was significantly reduced postoperatively compared to preoperatively [ (43.5±8.6) mm vs. (35.8±7.8)mm, P<0.001]. Conclusion The leaflet augmentation technique combined with a standardized repair strategy can achieve satisfactory short- to mid-term outcomes for the redo mitral repair after previous MV repair. It can be considered a safe and feasible technical option for cases with complex valvular lesions and severe pathological changes.

Antimicrobial resistance(AMR)is a growing public health crisis that requires innovative solutions.Emerging multidrug resistant(MDR)Salmonella typhimurium has raised concern for its effect on path-ogenic infection and mortality in humans caused by enteric diseases.To combat these MDR Salmonella typhimurium pathogens,highly effective and broad-spectrum antibiotics such as flufenicol(FFC)need to be evaluated for their potent antibacterial activity against Salmonella typhimurium.However,the low solubility and low oral bioavailability of flufenicol need to be addressed to better combat AMR.In this work,we develop a novel nano-formulation,flufenicol nano-micelles(FTPPM),which are based on D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1,000 succinate(TPGS)/poloxamer 188(P188),for the targeted treatment of biofilms formed by drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium in the intestine.Herein,FTPPM were prepared via a thin film hydration method.The preparation process for the mixed micelles is simple and convenient compared with other existing nanodrug delivery systems,which can further decrease pro-duction costs.The optimized FTPPM demonstrated outstanding stability and sustained release.An evaluation of the in vivo anti-drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium efficacy demonstrated that FTPPM showed a stronger efficacy(68.17%)than did florfenicol-loaded TPGS polymer micelles(FTPM),flufenicol active pharmaceutical ingredients(FFC-API),and flufenicol commercially available medicine(FFC-CAM),and also exhibited outstanding biocompatibility.Notably,FTPPM also inhibited drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium from forming biofilms.More importantly,FTPPM effectively restored intestinal flora dis-orders induced by drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium in mice.In summary,FTPPM significantly improved the solubility and oral bioavailability of florfenicol,enhancing its efficacy against drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium both in vitro and in vivo.FTPPM represent a promising drug-resistant Salmonella typhimurium treatment for curbing bacterial resistance via oral administration.
