OBJECTIVE To analyze the prototype components absorbed into blood and brain of Lithocarpus litseifolius leaves, so as to provide a reference for clarifying the pharmacological material basis of its prevention and treatment of central nervous system dis eases. METHODS The ethanol extract of L. litseifolius leaves, as well as the gastric lavage fluid and perfusion solution were prepared. Using rats as subjects, plasma samples of intestinal wall metabolism, intestinal flora metabolism and hepatic metabolism were prepared via in situ intestinal perfusion and closed intestinal loop method; while comprehensive metabolic plasma samples, brain tissue samples, and cerebrospinal fluid samples were collected after intragastric administration. UPLC-HRMS technology was utilized to analyze and identify chemical components and prototype components absorbed into blood and brain of L. litseifolius leaves. RESULTS A total of 66 chemical constituents were identified in L. litseifolius leaves, primarily consisting of flavonoids, organic acids, and others. A total of 16, 13, 11, and 5 prototype components were identified in intestinal wall metabolism, intestinal flora metabolism, hepatic metabolism, and comprehensive metabolic plasma samples, respectively. Additionally, 4 prototype components were detected in brain tissue and 9 in cerebrospinal fluid. Phloridzin, trilobatin, phloretin-2- O -malonyl hexoside, and phloretin were identified as common components across all sample types. CONCLUSIONS Prototype components absorbed into blood and brain of L. litseifolius leaves, such as phloridzin, trilobatin, phloretin, and other components may serve as the pharmacological material basis for their therapeutic effects on central nervous system diseases.

Low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) is a common complication of sphincter-preserving rectal cancer surgery, and its manifestations change dynamically at different stages. By analyzing and summarizing the clinical symptoms and pathomechanism evolution of LARS across different stages, this paper proposes a staged prevention and treatment strategy using acupuncture. During perioperative stage, the main principle is activating the transport function of the body, supplemented by regulating the mind, with the use of dredging the bowels as needed. During the stoma reversal stage, treatment focuses primarily on fortifying the spleen, with draining dampness as a supplementary method, to help consolidate the intestines. During the radiotherapy or chemotherapy stage, the main focus is reinfor-cing healthy qi, with reducing toxin as an adjunct, to achieve the effect of activating the transport of the pivot. During the survival management stage, treatment primarily focuses on tonifying the kidneys and secondarily on fortifying the spleen, with regulating the corporeal soul as the therapeutic emphasis. Acupoints are selected and combined in accordance with the treatment principles at each stage, and different stimulation methods such as electroacupuncture and moxibustion are applied. An analysis of the mechanisms underlying acupuncture for LARS is also provided, offering a theoretical basis and practical approach for the prevention and treatment of LARS with acupuncture.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of Prof. LI Diangui in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on the theory of turbidity-toxin in liver. It is believed that internal accumulation of turbidity-toxin and liver depression with stomach counterflow are the main pathogenesis of GERD, and thus the therapeutic methods of resolving turbidity and resolving toxins, regulating the liver and harmonizing the stomach are proposed. In clinical practice, GERD is divided into the early stage, middle stage and late stage. For the early stage, the modified Huazhuo Shugan Hewei Formula (化浊疏肝和胃方) is used to regulate qi and remove turbidity, soothe the liver and harmonize the stomach; for the middle stage, the modified Huazhuo Qingre Zhisuan Formula (化浊清热制酸方) is applied to clear heat, direct the turbid downward, and resolve toxins; for the late stage, the modified Yiwei Decoction (益胃汤) is adopted to replenish qi, nourish yin and simultaneously resolve turbidity-toxin. Throughout the treatment process, attention should be paid to protecting the spleen and stomach, and the medication could be modified according to changes of individual condition.

Objective:To analyze research trends, hotspots, and international collaboration in temporomandibular disorders (TMD) from 2010 to 2024 using bibliometric methods.Methods:A total of 4 368 articles published between January 2010 to December 2024 were retrieved from PubMed using the search strategy temporomandibular disorders[MeSH Terms] OR temporomandibular joint disorders[Title/Abstract]. The R package"bibliometrix" was employed to analyze publication statistics, author collaboration networks, and keyword co-occurrence.Results:The annual publication volume in the TMD field increased 3.4-fold from 2010 to 2024, with an average annual output of 291.2 articles. MANFREDINI DANIELE was identified as the most prolific author (74 articles). The Journal of Oral Rehabilitation ranked first in terms of publication quantity (454 articles). The University of S?o Paulo (Brazil) emerged as the leading contributor, followed by Sichuan University (China) globally. Research hotspots predominantly focused on the DC/TMD diagnostic criteria and pain mechanisms. Analysis of international collaboration networks revealed that core authors (e.g., Lobbezoo F, Manfredini D) have driven advancements in the field through multidisciplinary collaboration (dentistry+psychology+medical imaging). The high-frequency occurrence of the imaging keyword "magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)" underscores its pivotal role in diagnosing disc displacement. Chinese institutions (Sichuan University, Peking University) ranked second globally in research output; however, interdisciplinary international collaboration remained limited, with multiple-country publications (MCP) accounting for only 13.0%. Conclusions:TMD research demonstrates interdisciplinary integration, highlighting the need for future emphasis on Asian population studies and innovative diagnostic/therapeutic technologies.

Objective:To compare the preliminary efficacy and adverse events of chemoradiotherapy (CRT) with or without immunotherapy in bladder preservation therapy for localized muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC) confined to the pelvis.Methods:Clinical data of 60 patients with MIBC who received CRT with or without immunotherapy for bladder preservation at the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from January 2016 to June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into CRT plus immunotherapy group and CRT-alone group. Survival outcomes, bladder function preservation, recurrence and metastasis, as well as early and late radiation toxicities were evaluated. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for between-group comparisons. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival rates were compared by the log-rank test. Results:In the CRT plus immunotherapy group ( n=23), the median follow-up was 20 months. The median OS and median PFS were not reached. The 2-year OS, PFS, LRFS, and DMFS rates were 95.7%, 70.7%, 70.7%, and 92.9%, respectively, and 22 patients (96%) preserved normal bladder function. Patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) ≥1 had significantly higher 1-year PFS rate than those with CPS <1 (100% vs. 66.7%, P=0.004). In the CRT-alone group ( n=37), the median follow-up was 37 months, with median OS and PFS of 68 and 19 months, respectively. The 2-year OS, PFS, LRFS, and DMFS rates were 92.0%, 41.1%, 60.9% and 81.5%, respectively, and 33 patients (89%) preserved normal bladder function. Compared with the CRT-alone group, the CRT plus immunotherapy group showed a significant improvement in PFS ( χ2=4.38, P=0.036), while no significant differences were observed in OS, LRFS, or DMFS (all P>0.05). The incidence of acute hematologic toxicity in the CRT plus immunotherapy group and CRT-alone group were 52% (12/23), 27% (10/37) respectively, and late genitourinary toxicity was 22% (5/23), 8% (3/37), respectively, with no significant differences in overall acute or late toxicities (all P>0.05). Conclusions:For localized MIBC, bladder preservation with CRT combined with immunotherapy significantly improves PFS compared with CRT alone, while maintaining comparable safety. The PD-L1 status may serve as a favorable predictor for immunotherapy efficacy.
