To summarize the clinical experience of treating idiopathic olfactory disorder from the perspective of heart and lungs. It is believed that the sense of olfaction is based on the nose， rooted in the heart， functioning through the lungs， and conveyed by pectoral qi. The key pathogenesis of idiopathic olfactory disorder lies in the accumulation of pathogenic factors in the heart and lungs， blood vessel obstruction， the failure of the lungs to disperse and descend， and the loss of control of pectoral qi. In treatment， internal and external therapies could be combined. The internal therapy can correct the imbalance of the zang-fu organs， using the self-prescribed Bilong Formula （鼻聋方） to dispel wind and diffuse the lung， invigorate blood and relieving stuffy orifices； the external therapy can clear nasal obstruction， supplemented by intradermal needle embedding at three acupoints， bilateral Yingxiang （LI 20）， bilateral Shangyingxiang （EX-HN 8） and Yintang （GV 29）， and integrated olfactory training for comprehensive treatment.

Triptolide （TP）， the core active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Tripterygium wilfordii ， exhibits remarkable pharmacological activities including anti-inflammatory， immunosuppressive and anti-tumor effects， and holds broad application prospects in the treatment of major diseases such as autoimmune diseases and malignant tumors. However， TP has a narrow therapeutic window and causes multi-organ toxicities including liver， kidney and reproductive toxicities， which severely restrict its safe clinical application and new drug development. Therefore， toxicity reduction and efficacy enhancement has become a core scientific problem urgently to be solved in this field. This paper systematically reviews the four core strategies for TP toxicity reduction and efficacy enhancement， including structural modification， dosage form improvement， herbal compatibility， and external therapies of traditional Chinese medicine. Among them， structural modification optimizes the toxic and efficacy characteristics of TP from the molecular structure level， with typica l derivatives including （5 R ）-5-hydroxy triptolide， ZT01， PG490-88， etc. Dosage form modification achieves toxicity reduction and efficacy enhancement via targeted and sustained-controlled drug release of diverse delivery systems. It includes triptolide preparations such as nanoparticles， liposomes， microemulsion gels and liquid crystals， possessing favorable clinical transformation potential. The herbal compatibility and external therapies of traditional Chinese medicine conform to the holistic view of traditional Chinese medicine and have a profound clinical application foundation， but their mechanisms of action are insufficiently elucidated， and they lack unified standardized specifications and high-quality evidence-based proof. In the future， we should rely on multi-omics technology to elucidate the toxic and efficacy mechanisms， integrate technologies to optimize preparations， improve the evaluation system and promote clinical transformation.

ObjectiveBy exploring the influencing factors of readmission in patients with stable angina of coronary heart disease （CHD） based on real-world clinical data， to establish a risk prediction model of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine， in order to provide a basis for early identification of high-risk populations and reducing readmission rates. MethodsA prospective clinical study was conducted involving patients with stable angina pectoris of CHD， who were divided into a training set and a validation set at a 7∶3 ratio. General information， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）-related data， and laboratory test results were uniformly collected. After a one-year follow-up， patients were classified into a readmission group and a non-readmission group based on whether they were readmitted. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for readmission. A risk prediction model of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine was constructed and visualized using a nomogram. The model was validated and evaluated in terms of discrimination， calibration， and clinical decision curve analysis. ResultsA total of 682 patients were included， with 477 in the training set and 205 in the validation set， among whom 89 patients were readmitted. Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified heart failure history ［OR = 6.93， 95% CI （1.58， 30.45）］， wiry pulse ［OR = 2.58， 95% CI （1.42， 4.72）］， weak pulse ［OR = 3.97， 95% CI （2.06， 7.67）］， teeth-marked tongue ［OR = 4.38， 95% CI （2.32， 8.27）］， blood stasis constitution ［OR = 2.17， 95% CI （1.06， 4.44）］， phlegm-stasis mutual syndrome ［OR = 3.64， 95% CI （1.87， 7.09）］， and elevated non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ［OR = 1.30， 95% CI （1.01， 1.69）］ as influencing factors of readmission. These factors were used as predictors to construct a nomogram-based risk prediction model for readmission in patients with stable angina. The model demonstrated moderate predictive capability， with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve （AUC） of 0.818 ［95% CI （0.781， 0.852）］ in the training set and 0.816 ［95% CI （0.779， 0.850）］ in the validation set. The Hosmer-Lemeshow test showed good calibration （χ² = 4.55， P = 0.80）， and the model's predictive ability was stable. When the threshold probability exceeded 5%， the clinical net benefit of using the model to predict readmission risk was significantly higher than intervening in all patients. ConclusionHistory of heart failure， teeth-marked tongue， weak pulse， wiry pulse， phlegm-stasis mutual syndrome， blood stasis constitution， and non-high-density lipoprotein cholesterol are influencing factors for readmission in patients with stable angina of CHD. A clinical prediction model was developed based on these factors， which showed good discrimination， calibration， and clinical utility， providing a scientific basis for predicting readmission events in patients with stable angina.

Organ fibrosis is a chronic tissue injury caused by multiple causes,and the continuous dynamic progression will lead to abnormal organ structure and function.Recent studies have shown that Chinese materia medica can inhibit organ fibrosis by regulating the PI3K/Akt pathway,which holds potential significance for developing anti-fibrosis strategies.This article systematically reviewed the role of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in the entire process of fibrosis,and summarized the potential mechanisms of Chinese materia medica monomers,drug pairs and compounds that can target and intervene in PI3K/Akt signaling transduction in preventing and treating organ fibrosis,in order to provide reference for the intervention of Chinese materia medica in the PI3K/Akt pathway for the treatment of organ fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the acquisition of the"standard for intubation and maintenance of nasointestinal tube in adult patients"of Chinese Nursing Association,and its influencing factors,so as to provide a basis for targeted training programs.Methods A multi-centered,cross-sectional study was performed in 31 provinces from September to November 2023,and nurses from different departments which use nasointestinal tubes like intensive care units,gastroenterology,neurology,geriatrics were included by a convenient sampling method.The tool was a self-designed questionnaire based on the group standard and the survey was conducted.Multiple linear regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of nurses'knowledge of nasointestinal tubes intubation and maintenance.Results 1 350 valid questionnaires were collected.Only 61.63％of the respondents knew about the publishing of the standard.The score of knowledge of tube intubation and maintenance was(61.09±13.56).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed the influencing factors of the score of knowledge of intubation and maintenance were as follows:education level,professional title,job position,intubation experience within half a year,and corresponding achievements(P＜0.05).Conclusion The acqui-sition level of nurses for the standard calls for continuous promotion.Nursing managers should establish targeted training programs based on the related influencing factors,so as to advance the implementation of the group standard.

Objective To explore the impact of ten-eleven translocation 2(TET2)mutations on imiquimod(IMQ)-induced psoriatic skin inflammation using a TET2-knockout(TET2-/-)mouse model.Methods Mice were divided randomly into a wild-type(WT)vaseline group,WT imiquimod group,TET2-/-vaseline group,and TET2-/-imiquimod group.IMQ was used to establish a psoriasis-like dermatitis model,and the degree of skin lesions and pathological changes in mice in the WT imiquimod and TET2-/-imiquimod groups were observed and compared daily during the modeling period.The mice were sacrificed when the phenotype had reached the peak and the spleen index was recorded in each group.Gene expression levels of the inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α,interleukin(IL)-6,IL-17A,and IL-23 in mouse back lesions were detected by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.Skin histopathology was compared in hematoxylin/eosin-stained sections.IL-17,interferon(INF)-γ,and TNF-α protein expression levels in the back skin of mice in the four groups were detected by immunohistochemistry.The ultrastructure of the dermis and epidermis was observed using transmission electron microscopy.Results TET2 expression was down-regulated in skin lesions in WT imiquimod group.Dermatitis lesions were more severe and progressed faster in TET2-/-imiquimod group compared with WT imiquimod group,and the psoriasis area and severity index score and spleen index were both higher.mRNA expression levels of TNF-α,IL-6,IL-17A,and IL-23 in skin lesions were higher and epidermal thickening and inflammatory cell infiltration were increased,and protein expression levels of IL-17,INF-γ,and TNF-α were significantly higher in skin lesions in TET2-/-imiquimod group compared with WT imiquimod group.In addition,cell junctions were absent in skin lesions in TET2-/-imiquimod group and mitochondrial ridges were broken and dissolved,mitochondrial vacuoles were present,and the texture of the mitochondrial membrane was darker.Conclusions Loss of TET2 promotes the inflammatory response and exacerbates IMQ-induced psoriasis-like dermatitis injury in mice.

Objective To investigate the abnormal changes characteristics of the degree centrality(DC)of the brain functional network in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo(BPPV)in the classical frequency band(0.010-0.080 Hz),the slow-4 frequency band(0.027-0.073 Hz),and the slow-5 frequency band(0.010-0.027 Hz).Methods Twenty patients with BPPV(BPPV group)and 14 healthy controls(HC)(HC group)were selected.Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)scans were performed,and the clinical data were analyzed.The DC method was used to analyze the changes of centrality of resting state network in patients with BPPV.Results Compared with the HC group,the BPPV group showed an increase in DC in the left caudate nucleus in the classical frequency band(P＜0.05),and a decrease in DC in the right auxiliary motor region in the classical frequency band(P＜0.05);within the slow-4 frequency band,no significant differences were observed in brain regions(P＞0.05);within the slow-5 frequency band,the BPPV group showed an increase in DC in the left thalamus(P＜0.05),while the left anterior cingulate and paracingulate gyrus showed a decrease in DC(P＜0.05).Conclusion Patients with BPPV have spontaneous activity disorders in multiple brain regions at resting states,and these changes show frequency band specificity.

Ovulatory disorders are mainly characterized by abnormal follicular maturation or ovulation， with complex etiologies and a lack of effective prevention and treatment methods. Autophagy dysfunction is closely related to the generation and progression of ovulatory disorders. This article systematically elucidates the mechanisms of TCM on follicular development and ovulatory disorders from the perspective of autophagy. It also reviews relevant studies on how TCM regulates autophagy to influence follicular development and improve ovulatory disorders. The findings reveal that TCM monomers/active ingredients （leonurine， total flavonoids from Eucommia ulmoides， alpinetin， icariin， etc.） and compound formulas （including Cangfu daotan decoction， Guishen yugong decoction， Zhuluan decoction， Yishen yangluan formula， Guishen pill， etc.） improve the follicular microenvironment， regulate sex hormone levels， and reduce follicular atresia by regulating autophagy-related genes and signaling pathways such as phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin and AMP-activated protein kinase. These actions thereby promote normal follicular development and ovulation， and delay ovarian aging. Most research in this field is based on cellular and animal experiments， often focusing on a single signaling pathway or factor. Some studies fail to fully reflect the individualized treatment characteristics of TCM that emphasize “syndrome differentiation and treatment”， highlighting the urgent need for further investigation.

Malignant pleural effusion(MPE)is a common complication in patients with advanced malignant tumors,which not only significantly reduces their quality of life but also shortens their survival duration.Despite the widespread use of traditional treatment methods such as thoracentesis and pleurodesis,their efficacy is limited accompanied by high recurrence rates.Therefore,exploring novel therapeutic strategies becomes particularly urgent.In recent years,immunotherapy has attracted extensive attention for its potential in cancer treatment.This article systematically reviews the roles of CD4+T cell subsets,including regulatory T cells(Treg),T helper cell(Th)17,Th9,and Th22 cells,within the immunosuppressive microenvironment of MPE.These cell subsets are involved in the formation of the immunosuppressive state of MPE through various mechanisms and play key roles in the occurrence and development of the disease.In addition,the article discusses in detail the role of immune checkpoint molecules,such as programmed death protein 1(PD-1),PD-1 ligand(PD-L1),and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4(CTLA-4),in the immune evasion of MPE.The abnormal expressions of these molecules provide opportunity for tumor cells to evade immune system surveillance.At the same time,this article also summarizes the application prospects of novel immunotherapy strategies,such as adoptive cell therapy(ACT)and chimeric antigen receptor T cell(CAR-T)therapy,in the treatment of MPE.These innovative therapies offer possibilities for improving the prognosis of MPE patients through activating and enhancing the anti-tumor immune response.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the correlation of serum P-Tau protein and β-amyloid protein expression levels with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAS)and mild cognitive impairment(MCI)patients,and their diagnostic value.METHODS From December 2020 to December 2023,120 patients with OSAS admitted to Third Hospital of Shijiazhuang were collected as the case group.According to the diagnostic criteria for MCI,patients were grouped into OSAS without MCI group(40 cases)and OSAS with MCI group(80 cases).ELISA method was applied to detect the levels of serum P-Tau protein and β-amyloid protein.Spearman method was applied to analyze the correlation between serum P-Tau protein,β-amyloid protein,and MCI.Multivariate logistic regression was applied to analyze the influencing factors of OSAS patients with MCI.ROC curve was applied to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of serum P-Tau protein and β-amyloid protein in OSAS patients with MCI.RESULTS The Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)score in the OSAS with MCI group was obviously lower than that in the OSAS without MCI group(P<0.05).The expression levels of P-Tau protein and β-amyloid protein in the OSAS with MCI group were obviously higher than those in the OSAS without MCI group(P<0.05).The expression levels of serum P-Tau protein and β-amyloid protein in OSAS patients were negatively correlated with MoCA score(r=-0.346,-0.565,P<0.001).Serum P-Tau protein and β-amyloid protein were risk factors for OSAS with MCI(P<0.05).The AUC of the expression levels of serum P-Tau protein,β-amyloid protein,and their combination for OSAS with MCI was 0.751,0.848,and 0.928,respectively.The combined evaluation of the two showed better results(Zcombination-P-Tau protein=4.102,P<0.001;Zcombination-β amyloid protein=2.147,P=0.032).CONCLUSION The expression of serum P-Tau protein and β-amyloid protein is upregulated in OSAS patients with MCI,they are risk factors for the development of MCI in OSAS patients.The combined detection of the two has higher diagnostic efficacy.
