Microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling presents a substantial challenge that constrains the advancements in the international space industry,which mainly manifests as alterations in the morphology,structure,and function of the heart.This paper analyzed the core pathogenesis and treatment of microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling based on the theory of"yang transforming qi and yin forming shape"in Huangdi Neijing."Yang transforming qi"reflects the changes in cardiac function,whereas"yin forming shape"reflects the changes in cardiac morphology and structure.Based on the basic and clinical research of space cardiac dysfunctions,the core pathogenesis of microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling is the insufficiency of"yang transforming qi",accompanied by yin excess and yang deficiency due to excessive"yin forming shape"in the early stage,which evolves into deficiency of both yin and yang in the late stage.Thus,this paper specifically refined the treatment methods and corresponding formulas,including warming viscera yang to transform qi,draining yin blood to restore yang qi,and consolidating yin and yang to nourish primal energy.These insights provide systematic theoretical support and conceptual inspiration for the traditional Chinese medicine treatment of microgravity-induced cardiac remodeling.

Objective To examine the toxicity and sublethal effects of calcium cyanamide against susceptible isolates of Aedes albopictus, so as to provide insights into rational use of calcium cyanamide for integrated management of Ae. albopictus. Methods The sublethal concentrations [30% lethal concentration (LC₃₀) and median lethal concentration (LC₅₀)] of calcium cyana mide against susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus were determined using the larval immersion test. With 100 mL of dechlorinated water as the control group, after the larvae of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus were immersed in calcium cyanamide for 24 hours, the pupation rate, pupation duration, emergence rate, number of eggs laid, percentage of eggs hatched, and lifespan of Ae. albopictus were calculated and compared post-treatment with calcium cyanamide at different sublethal concentrations. The midgut tissues of larvae of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus treated with 100 mg/L calcium cyanamide were sampled for pathological sectioning to observe midgut tissue damages. To evaluate the residual activity, 100 larvae of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus were treated with 200 mg/L and 500 mg/L calcium cyanamide, and the mortality of larvae was calculated every 24 hour, with dead larvae replaced until no larval death. Results The regression equation for the toxicity of calcium cyanamide against larvae of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus was y = -9.441 + 4.657x, with an LC₅₀ of 106.42 mg/L [95% confidence interval (CI): (94.64, 118.36) mg/L] and an LC₃₀ of 82.17 mg/L [95% CI: (94.64, 118.36) mg/L], respectively. After larvae of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus were treated with sublethal concentrations (LC₃₀ and LC₅₀) of calcium cyanamide for 24 hours, there were reduced pupation and emergence rates of larvae (all P values < 0.000 1), prolonged pupal stage (both P values < 0.000 1), reduced numbers of eggs laid by survival female Ae. albopictus (both P values < 0.000 1), reduced percentages of eggs hatched by Ae. albopictus eggs (both P values < 0.000 1), and reduced median survival period of survival female Ae. albopictus (χ² = 9.36 and 20.33, both P values < 0.01) in the LC₃₀ and LC₅₀ groups relative to the control group. There was a numerical decline in the median survival period of survival female Ae. albopictus in the LC₃₀ groups relative to the control group (χ² = 2.42, P > 0.05), and there was a significant decline in the median survival period of survival female Ae. albopictus in the LC₅₀ group relative to the control group (χ² = 11.42, P < 0.01). Histopathological examinations showed severe damages to the midgut tissues of larvae of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus, and residual activity assay revealed that the mortality of larvae of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus was both 0 on day 32 post-treatment with calcium cyanamide at a concentration of 200 mg/L and on day 70 post-treatment with calcium cyanamide at a concentration of 500 mg/L, showing complete loss of the larvicidal activity of calcium cyanamide. Conclusions Calcium cyanamide is highly toxic against susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus, and calcium cyanamide at sublethal concentrations (LC₃₀ and LC₅₀) may inhibit growth, development, and reproductive capability of susceptible strains of Ae. albopictus, and shorten the lifespan of adult mosquitoes.

The"ying-wei imbalance"theory originates from Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor,which refers to the dynamic pathological process of yingfen and weifen circulation,distribution,posture,strength,and weakness due to internal and external disturbance,emphasizing that"ying-wei imbalance"is the key to disease occurrence.The sanjiao,as the"envoy of primordial qi,"is central to yingfen and weifen,and the coordinated operation of yingfen and weifen depends on the promotion of the qi of sanjiao.Therefore,based on the yingfen and weifen theory and sanjiao differentiation and treatment,this paper discusses the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic pulmonary heart disease,as well as the syndrome differentiation approach."Ying-wei imbalance"is the core of this mechanism:in the early stage,the loss of yingfen and weifen nutrition,combined with the deficiency of the qi of sanjiao,allows exogenous pathogens to invade the lungs.During progression,dysfunction in the transportation function of yingfen and weifen,along with the stagnation of the qi of sanjiao,results in pulmonary and cardiac involvement,accompanied by phlegm accumulation and stagnation.The end stage is characterized by the failure of both ying and wei,along with dysfunction of the sanjiao and zang-fu organs,which interact to form a pathological chain of"qi disease involving body."Accordingly,the treatment principle of"harmonizing yingfen and weifen,giving sanjiao treatment"was proposed.This is implemented through three therapeutic strategies:"harmonizing""returning",and"astringing"aimed at restoring balance.In the early stage,treatment focuses on tonifying the lungs and consolidating the exterior to eliminate pathogenic factors and activate stagnation.The selected formula is Buyuan Decoction with modifications to harmonize sanjiao.During the developmental stage,treatment focuses on promoting collaterals and dispersing phlegm,utilizing the modified Xuefu Zhuyu Decocotion to facilitate the restoration of function to the sanjiao.In the final stage,Fuyang Decoction,with modifications,is used to resolve fluid retention and nourish both qi and blood.Discussions are closely focused on the syndrome differentiation system of"sanjiao-yingfen and weifen,"in order to offer a novel perspective on the management of chronic pulmonary heart disease.

Cardiac remodeling in microgravity exerts effects on astronauts'health and space mission efficiency.This paper analyzes the etiology,pathogenesis,prevention,and treatment of cardiac remodeling in microgravity based on the Trinity View of"Physique-Qi-Spirit"of traditional Chinese medicine.The microgravity environment disrupts the heaven-earth qi interaction law described in"Suwen Yin Yang Ying Xiang Da Lun":"Earth qi ascends to form clouds through heavenly evaporation,while heaven qi descends as rain".This disruption causes upward reversal of human qi and cephalad fluid shift,consequently influencing the dynamic balance of the physique-qi-spirit system and inducing cardiac remodeling.The core pathogenesis initiates with qi upward reversal at the initial stage,advances through spiritual disturbance during progression,and culminates in physical impairment at the terminal stage.We therefore propose a holistic"physique-qi-spirit"co-regulation strategy implemented via three therapeutic principles:regulating qi,stabilizing spirit,and restoring physique.This approach aims to restore the dynamic balance of the"physique-qi-spirit"system in microgravity,apply the concept of"preventive treatment of diseases",holistically prevent or delay cardiac remodeling,and provide Traditional Chinese Medicine solutions for safeguarding astronauts'cardiovascular health.

This article introduced the experience of physician Chen Shiduo of the Qing Dynasty in treating hyperhidrosis as documented in Bian Zheng Lu.Chen Shiduo proposed several syndromes for hyperhidrosis,including insufficient lung qi,imbalance between the heart and kidney,depletion of kidney yin,excessive stomach fire,and deficiency of heart blood.In terms of treatment,he advocated for methods that focus on reinforcing deficiency and consolidating the exterior while also nourishing yin,clearing heart heat and nourishing kidney water,replenishing true yin to harmonize yin and yang,nourishing stomach yin to reduce fire and stop sweating,and nourishing the heart to enrich blood and drain fire.His medication approach emphasizes harmonizing the internal organs,with a particular expertise in using Mori Folium.His diagnosis and treatment of hyperhidrosis have been remarkably effective and serve as a reference for later generations.

Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy has achieved remarkable success in the treatment of hematological malignancies. Based on the immunomodulatory capability of CAR-T cells, efforts have turned toward exploring their potential in treating autoimmune diseases. Bibliometric analysis of 210 records from 128 academic journals published by 372 institutions in 40 countries/regions indicates a growing number of publications on CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases, covering a range of subtypes such as systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis, among others. CAR-T therapy holds promise in mitigating several shortcomings, including the indiscriminate suppression of the immune system by traditional immunosuppressants, and non-sustaining therapeutic levels of monoclonal antibodies due to inherent pharmacokinetic constraints. By persisting and proliferating in vivo, CAR-T cells can offer a tailored and precise therapeutics. This paper reviewed preclinical experiments and clinical trials involving CAR-T and CAR-related therapies in various autoimmune diseases, incorporating innovations well-studied in the field of hematological tumors, aiming to explore a safe and effective therapeutic option for relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases.
