ObjectiveTo explore the pathological mechanism-syndrome-treatment patterns of approved Chinese patent medicines （CPMs） that treat collateral disorders， providing a reference for the principle of "treating different diseases with the same therapy" in collateral pathology. MethodsCPMs that apply treatment strategies based on collateral disorders were identified from the Pharmacodia database by extracting information from the "efficacy" or "indications" sections of drug package inserts. A database was established to extract the names and compositions of the CPMs， as well as their indications， related traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptoms， disease locations （affected areas）， and pathological factors. Frequency statistics were performed. Using the Apriori algorithm， an association rule analysis was conducted on CPMs and disease-location combinations related to the top three most frequent pathological factor combinations. Core formulas for these combinations were identified and analyzed through drug network analysis and MCODE module clustering. ResultsA total of 660 CPMs targeting collateral disorders were retrieved， involving 299 indications， 323 TCM symptoms， 21 disease locations， 19 pathological factors， and 124 pathological factor combinations. The most frequent pathological factor combinations were blood stasis （involved in 109 CPMs， 16.52%）， exogenous wind （外风） -cold-dampness （involved in 43 CPMs， 6.52%）， and qi deficiency-blood stasis （involved in 42 CPMs， 6.36%）. Analysis of the core formulas for these combinations revealed common ingredients such as Honghua （Carthami Flos）， Chuanxiong （Chuanxiong Rhizoma）， Danggui （Angelicae Sinensis Radix）， and Dilong （Pheretima）. ConclusionCollateral disorders involve a wide range of pathogenesis and represent a fundamental mechanism in the onset and development of various diseases， characterized by obstruction and stagnation. The primary therapeutic principle is unblocking of the collaterals. Blood stasis obstructing the collaterals is the core pathological basis， and the strategy of activating blood circulation and resolving stasis to unblock the collaterals should be central to the treatment. The core medication pattern involves combining blood-activating and stasis-resolving herbs with insect-derived medicinals that unblock collaterals. Exogenous wind is often the initiating patholo-gical factor in colla-teral disorders， and the appropriate addition of wind-dispelling herbs can enrich the treatment strategies for such conditions.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of cardiopulmonary exercise testing and risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with non-acute asthma exacerbations, to assess their cardiopulmonary health and to provide a basis for improvement.Methods:A case-control study.Sixty-one children with non-acute asthma exacerbations treated at the Outpatient Department of Children′s Hospital of Soochow University from October 2022 to December 2023 and 22 control children during the same period were included.Binary Logistic regression was employed to assess risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with asthma.Results:Among the included 61 children with non-acute asthma exacerbations, there were 33 cases in the chronic persistent phase (chronic persistent phase group) and 28 in the clinical remission phase(clinical remission group).There were 22 children in the control group.During the peak exercise phase of the cardiopulmonary exercise testing, the mean kilogram body weight oxygen uptake (VO 2/kg), the percentage of predicted kilogram body weight oxygen uptake, and metabolic equivalents (Met) in the chronic persistent phase group were lower than those in the control and clinical remission phase groups.The mean VO 2/kg recovery from the cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the first minute in the chronic persistent phase group was lower than that in the control and clinical remission phase groups.The median Met and ventilation per minute recovery in the chronic persistent phase group were lower than those in the control group.The median heart rate recovery in asthma children was lower than that in control children.The percentage of cardiopulmonary exercise testing abnormalities was higher in asthma children with symptoms after excise than that in asthma children without symptoms after excise.The percentage of decreased ventilation efficiency in asthma children with symptoms after excise was higher than that in asthma children without symptoms after excise.Multivariate regression analysis showed that a higher body mass index (BMI) ( OR=1.577, 95% CI: 1.113-2.235, P=0.010) and a higher peak respiratory reserve ( OR=1.103, 95% CI: 1.018-1.195, P=0.017) were risk factors of decreased aerobic capacity.The risk of decreased aerobic capacity in the chronic persistent phase was 7.949 times higher than that in the clinical remission phase ( OR=7.949, 95% CI: 1.290-48.996, P=0.025). Conclusions:The aerobic capacity is decreased and ventilatory recovery is slower in children with chronic persistent asthma than those in healthy children.The heart rate recovery in asthma children is slower than that in healthy children.A high BMI, a high peak respiratory reserve, and chronic persistence of asthma are independent risk factors for decreased aerobic capacity in children with non-acute asthma exacerbations.asthma.

Objective To investigate the differences in acute mountain sickness between individuals en-tering the plateau for the first time and those with multiple plateau experiences,and to examine the impact on psychological stress.Methods A total of 2 337 young plateau-acclimatized individuals from an acclimatization rotation area during November 2023 to January 2024 were selected as the study subjects.Those entering the plateau for the first time were classified into Group A(n=425),while those with previous plateau experience(at least one prior visit)were classified into Group B(n=1 912).Differences were analyzed between the two groups in terms of general characteristics,as well as acute mountain sickness(AMS)scores,Self-Rating De-pression Scale(SDS)scores,Symptom Checklist-90(SCL-90)scores,and various vital signs at the following time points:before entering the plateau(T0),on the 1st day(T1),4th day(T2),7th day(T3),and 10th day(T4)after entering the plateau.Results Group A was younger than Group B,with a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).At T1,T2,and T3,AMS scores in Group A were significantly higher than those in Group B(P<0.05).At T4,there was no statistically significant difference in AMS scores between the two groups(P>0.05).At T1,T2,and T3,blood oxygen saturation was lower and heart rate higher in Group A than in Group B,with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).After high-altitude acclimatization,no statistically significant differences in blood oxygen saturation or heart rate were observed between the groups at T4(P>0.05).At T1,there were no statistically significant differences in systolic or diastolic blood pres-sure between the groups(P>0.05).At T2,both systolic and diastolic blood pressure were higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.05).At T3 and T4,after high-altitude acclimatization,systolic blood pressure de-creased in both groups but remained higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.05).On the SDS scale,men-tal-emotional and somatic symptom scores were significantly higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.001).On the SCL-90,all nine symptom factor scores were higher in Group A than in Group B(P<0.05).Conclusion Indi-viduals entering high-altitude areas for the first time experience more severe acute mountain sickness and more pronounced psychological stress.Therefore,enhanced monitoring,psychological counseling,and tailored pre-vention and treatment strategies should be implemented.

Objective To analyze the correlation between lipid metabolism indexes,serum gamma-glutamyl transpeptidyase(γ-GGT)and coronary heart disease(CHD)complicated with coronary artery calcification(CAC).Methods A total of 300 CHD patients admitted in this study were divided into the CAC group(n=193)and the non-CAC group(n=107).Clinical data of the two groups were compared,including high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),Apolipoprotein A1(Apo-A1),Apo-B(APO-B)and γ-GGT.The influencing factors of CAC were analyzed by multiple Logistic factors.And a nomogram prediction model was established.Results The basic data of the two groups were compared.Patients of the CAC group was older,had higher proportion of patients with hypertension and diabetes,had higher levels of LDL-C,TC,Apo-B and γ-GGT and lower level of Apo-A1 than those of the non-CAC group(P＜0.05).The results of Logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that advanced age,combined history of diabetes,elevated LDL-C,TC,Apo-B and γ-GGT were risk factors of CHD complicated with CAC,while elevated Apo-A1 was the protective factor of CHD complicated with CAC(P＜0.05).The AUC of the constructed nomogram model was 0.880(95%CI:0.840-0.919),which showed good distinguishing ability.Conclusion CHD complicated with CAC is related to lipid metabolism and γ-GGT level.The nomogram model constructed based on influencing factors can be used for clinical early warning of CAC risk.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics and key points of diagnosis and treatment in children with TCF3::HLF fusion gene-positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).Methods:A case series study was conducted. Clinical data of 8 children diagnosed with TCF3::HLF positive ALL at the Hematology Center of Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University and the Hematology Oncology Department of Henan Children′s Hospital between January 2019 and January 2024 were collected. Descriptive analysis was performed on their clinical features, laboratory findings, treatment regimens and prognosis.Results:The cohort included 8 children (3 males and 5 females) with the age of 5.5 (3.5, 7.0) years. Bone pain was the primary clinical manifestation in 4 cases, with multi-site skeletal involvement in 4 cases, hypercalcemia in 5 cases, and coagulation abnormalities in 6 cases. Immunophenotyping revealed common B-cell lineage with myeloid markers in 7 cases and common B-cell phenotype in 1 case. All 8 children were positive for the TCF3::HLF fusion gene. Regarding treatment, 1 case abandoned therapy after diagnosis, while the remaining 7 cases received chemotherapy following the Chinese Children′s Leukemia Group-ALL2018 high-risk protocol. Only 1 case achieved minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity by day 33 of induction therapy. Among the 3 cases with MRD negativity before consolidation therapy, 1 case achieved it via conventional chemotherapy, while 2 cases required additional agents (venetoclax or blinatumomab). One case failed to achieve MRD negativity after consolidation therapy and later discontinued treatment (survival periods: 7months).Of the 4 cases who achieved MRD negativity after consolidation, 2 cases received conventional chemotherapy and 2 cases achieved negativity following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy (CART). All 4 cases underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Two cases in the CART combined with HSCT group survived as of the last follow-up (survival periods: 22 and 13 months). In the conventional chemotherapy combined HSCT group, 1 case relapsed and died (survival: 38 months), and 1 case died from transplant complications (survival: 11 months). The other 2 cases achieved MRD negativity before consolidation therapy but did not receive regular subsequent chemotherapy. After MRD recurrence, they underwent CART therapy without HSCT and remained alive at the last follow-up (survival periods: 49 and 12 months).Conclusions:Children with TCF3::HLF positive ALL often present with bone destruction accompanied by hypercalcemia and coagulopathy at initial diagnosis. This subtype of ALL shows poor response to conventional chemotherapy regimens, characterized by low early remission rates and high relapse risk even after HSCT. Better therapeutic outcomes have been observed with small molecule targeted drugs, immunotherapy and CART therapy.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

ObjectiveTo analyze medication regularity of presciptions containing Cangzhu （Atractylodes Lancea） - Huangbai （Phellodendron Amurense） based on data mining. MethodsAll the prescriptions containing Cangzhu-Huangbai in Dictionary of Chinese Medical Formulas （《中医方剂大辞典》） and the fifth edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia （《中华医典》） were retrieved， setting up a database， counting the number of prescriptions involved， the composition of formulas in the prescriptions， the properties of the medicinal， the number of types of diseases and syndromes treated by the prescriptions， and the frequency of their appearances； drawing a network diagram of the medicinal combinations； analysing the medicinal combinations based on the association rules of the Apriori algorithm， and at the same time， analysing the association rules for the medicinal involved in the high-frequency diseases， and the core prescriptions containing Cangzhu-Huangbai pairs for specific diseases were extracted， and the medicinal in the core prescriptions were classified into four categories of raising yang and eliminating dampness， fortifying spleen and eliminating dampness， clearing dampness-heat， and specialised disease-use. ResultsA total of 323 prescriptions were identified， involving 318 Chinese herbal medicines， 52 syndromes， 200 diseases， among which arthralgia， beriberi， atrophy-flaccidity， leukorrhea， hernia-type diseases， headache， and haemorrhoids appeared more than 10 times. Through analyzing the core prescriptions for high-frequency diseases， we had four findings. Firstly， medicinal of spleen-fortifying and dampness-removing were the most frequent used in core prescriptions of Cangzhu-Huangbai pair （353 times）， and the medication mode was combination of qi-blood supplement medicinal and qi rectifying medicinal， usually using Huangqi （Astragalus mongholicus）， Renshen （Panax ginseng）， Processed Gancao （Glycyrrhiza glabra）， Baizhu （Atractylodes macrocephala）， Danggui （Levisticum officinale）， Chenpi （Citrus reticulata）， Xiangfu （Cyperus rotundus）. Then followed by the combination of heat-clearing and dampness-draining medicinal （213 times）， usually using Fangji （Stephania tetrandra）， Niuxi （Achyranthes bidentata）， and Banxia （Pinellia ternata）， and this type of heat-clearing and dampness-draining medicinal is most frequently used for haemorrhoids， and beriberi is the most frequent disease. The combination of yang-raising and dampness-removing medicinal （212 times）， often using Qianghuo （Hansenia weberbaueriana）， Chaihu （Elephantopus scaber）， Fangfeng （Carum carvi）， and this type of medicinal is most frequently used for headache， and atrophy-flaccidity is the most frequent disease. The combination of medicinal for specialised diseases was used the least frequently （39 times）. ConclusionCangzhu-Huangbai pair were often combined with medicinal of yang-raising and dampness-removing， spleen-fortifying and dampness-removing， and heat-clearing and dampness-draining to expel dampness pathogen， at the same time combined with disease-specific medicinal to treat disease and syndrome together.
