The Medical Cases of WU Jutong （《吴鞠通医案》） proposes the principle of "treating all Bi （痹） diseases through taiyin"， which forms the basis for analyzing WU Jutong's understanding of the causes， mechanisms， and treatments of Bi （痹） diseases， providing a reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment. Through an interpretation of the phrase "treating all Bi （痹） diseases through taiyin"， it is suggested that Bi （痹） diseases is primarily caused by dampness， necessitating a focus on spleen and lung in treatment. WU emphasized four main causes of Bi （痹） diseases （wind， cold， dampness， and heat）， with dampness being the predominant factor. The disease location is initially in lung， for which external dampness invades lung first， and internal dampness obstructs the source of water metabolism， impeding lung qi and qi failing to disperse， then dampness further accumulates in the joints， leading to Bi （痹） diseases. WU Jutong proposed the modified Mufangji Decoction （木防己汤） as the foundational prescription for treating Bi （痹） diseases. By comparing the similarities and differences between the modified and original Mufangji Decoction， and analyzing the adjustments in herbal prescriptions， the clinical characteristic of "treating all Bi （痹） diseases through taiyin" is further substantiated.

METHODS Retrieved from the Cochrane Library， PubMed， Embase， ClinicalTrials.gov， CNKI， Wanfang data and CBM， randomized controlled trials （RCTs） about semaglutide in the treatment of T2DM patients with outcome measures including malignant tumor events were collected from the establishment of the database to June 2024. Meta- analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software to assess the risk of malignant neoplasms. RESULTS A total of 24 RCTs （26 trials） involving 24 145 patients were included. Results of meta-analysis showed that compared to placebo， there was no statistical significance in the risk of semaglutide in pancreatic cancer [RR＝0.39， 95%CI（0.10， 1.50）， P＝0.17]， thyroid cancer [RR＝1.29， 95%CI（0.38， 4.36）， P＝0.68]， prostate cancer [RR＝1.05， 95%CI（0.36， 3.12）， P＝0.92]， skin cancer [RR＝1.27， 95%CI（0.80， 2.02）， P＝0.31]， gastrointestinal cancer [RR＝1.00， 95%CI（0.47， 2.14）， P＝1.00]， colorectal cancer [RR＝0.96， 95%CI（0.40， 2.26）， P＝0.92]， lung cancer [RR＝1.62， 95%CI（0.74， 3.55）， P＝0.23]， breast cancer [RR＝1.25， 95%CI（0.45， 3.51）， P＝0.67] or all malignant neoplasms [RR＝0.96， 95%CI（0.76， 1.21）， P＝0.73]. Compared to other antidiabetic drugs， there was no statistical significance in the risk of semaglutide in pancreatic cancer [RR＝0.62， 95%CI（0.18， 2.09）， P＝0.44]， thyroid cancer [RR＝1.09， 95%CI（0.25， 4.78）， P＝0.90]， prostate cancer [RR＝2.09， 95%CI（0.46， 9.47）， P＝0.34]， skin cancer [RR＝1.76， 95%CI（0.65， 4.72）， P＝0.26]， gastrointestinal cancer [RR＝0.68， 95%CI（0.19， 2.35）， P＝0.54]， colorectal cancer [RR＝0.60， 95%CI（0.20， 1.78）， P＝0.36]， lung cancer [RR＝1.00， 95%CI（0.24， 4.11）， P＝1.00]， breast cancer [RR＝0.82， 95%CI（0.25， 2.66）， P＝0.74] or all malignant neoplasms [RR＝1.36， 95%CI（0.96， 1.94）， P＝0.09]. CONCLUSIONS Semaglutide does not increase the risk of any type of malignant neoplasms in T2DM patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of three traditional Chinese medicine formulas for nourishing kidney Yin on the occurrence of breast cancer， including Zuoguiwan（ZGW）， Liuwei Dihuangwan（LWDHW） and Erzhiwan（EZW）， and to explore their preventive mechanisms from the phagocytic function of macrophages. MethodsTen-month-old post-breeding female mice were randomly divided into the blank group， soy isoflavone group（0.13 g·kg^-1·d^-1， mixed with feed）， ZGW group（2.34 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， LWDHW group（0.56 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and EZW group（4.68 g·kg^-1·d^-1）. The mice were palpated every 3 d until the age of 18 months， and those with detected lumps were confirmed for tumor development through hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining， and the incidence of breast cancer in mice was calculated. A total of 40 SPF-grade female SD rats were randomly divided into the blank serum group（physiological saline）， ZGW drug-containing serum group（16.20 g·kg^-1·d^-1of ZGW）， LWDHW drug-containing serum group（3.89 g·kg^-1·d^-1 of LWDHW） and EZW drug-containing serum group（32.40 g·kg^-1·d^-1 of EZW）， each group was orally administered 3 times a day for 5 consecutive days. On the 5^th day， blood was collected from the abdominal aorta 1 h after the last gavage to prepare drug-containing serum. The effect of drug-containing serum with different concentrations on the viability of RAW264.7 cells was assessed by cell counting kit-8（CCK-8）. Taking 20% of drug-containing serum concentration as the research object， its effect on the expression levels of major histocompatibility complex-Ⅱ（MHC-Ⅱ）， CD80 and CD86 on the surface of RAW264.7 cells was detected by immunofluorescence（IF）， the phagocytic function of RAW264.7 cells was examined by flow cytometry， and the levels of interleukin-6（IL-6） and nitric oxide（NO） in RAW264.7 cells in the conditioned medium（CM） co culture system of 4T1 cells were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELISA） and Griess assay. ResultsAfter prophylactic administration， the tumor incidence rates in the soy isoflavone group（4%）， ZGW group（4%）， LWDHW group（4%）， and EZW group（6%） were lower than that in the blank group（8%）. Compared with the blank serum group， the drug-containing serum of the three nourishing kidney Yin formulas could enhance the expression levels of MHC-Ⅱ， CD80 and CD86 on the surface of RAW264.7 cells， enhance phagocytic ability towards tumor cells， and reduce the content of IL-6 and increase the level of NO（P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe three nourishing kidney Yin formulas can reduce the incidence of tumor in mice， the mechanism may be related to activating RAW264.7 cells， increasing their phagocytosis to breast cancer cells， and regulating the secretion of IL-6 and NO.

Premature ejaculation refers to a sexual dysfunction in which men experience a short intravaginal ejaculation latency and a lack of control over ejaculation during sexual activity. The onset of this condition is often accompanied by anxiety and depression, which can seriously affect the quality of the patient′s sexual life and the relationship between partners. Based on the "integration of body and spirit" theory in traditional Chinese medicine, our team believes that this condition is a comorbidity of physical and spiritual factors. We propose that the core pathogenesis of this disease lies in the "loss of form and essence, impairment of spirit, and depression of the mind, "while the primary treatment principle involves "nourishing form and regulating spirit." As a result, a new diagnosis and treatment approach of "four-dimensional integration" is summarized in this study. The disease is treated through the four dimensions of shape, body, spirit, and emotion. Traditional Chinese medicine is used to adjust the shape in cases where the physical form is damaged. For individuals with depression of heart and liver qi, the treatment focuses on soothing the heart and smoothing liver qi, and the modified Wangyou Powder and Xuanzhi Decoction is used. In cases where the heart and kidney function are compromised, the treatment involves nourishing both the heart and kidney while restoring interaction between the heart and the kidney, and modified Jihuo Yansi Elixir is used. To reduce the sensitivity of the glans penis, the patient′s body is washed with a traditional Chinese medicine formula, and a delicate fumigation formula is decocted for external washing. For those who are not in tune with their god, psychological counseling can be used to regulate their spirit and advocate "self-partner" and psychotherapy. If there are issues with intimacy, partners should focus on cooperating during foreplay, sexual intercourse, and post-coital interactions. Overall, the treatment aims to harmonize the body and spirit, addressing both physical and psychological factors through a comprehensive, multi-dimensional approach. This method provides new perspectives and ideas for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of this condition.

Objective To track and evaluate the implementation and application of the occupational health standard Radiation shielding requirements for radiotherapy room—Part 4: Radiotherapy room of ²⁵²Cf neutron afterloading (GBZ/T 201.4-2015) by radiation health technical service agencies, medical institutions, health supervision agencies, and radiotherapy facility design units, and to provide a scientific basis for the further revision and implementation of this standard. Methods Following the Guideline for health standards tracking evaluation (WS/T 536-2017) and the project implementation plan, relevant practitioners were randomly selected for a questionnaire survey. The survey primarily focused on their awareness, standard training, application, and revision suggestions of GBZ/T 201.4-2015. The results were summarized and analyzed. Results A total of 168 evaluation questionnaires were collected from relevant practitioners in 28 provinces. Only 31.6% of the respondents reported being “well familiar” or “ familiar” with the standard, 27.4% of the respondents believed that the standard was widely used, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard could meet the needs of their work. Only 14.9% of the respondents had received relevant training on the standard, more than half of the respondents had not applied the standard within the past 10 years, and 45.2% of the respondents believed that the standard "needs to be revised". Conclusion Due to the small number of californium-252 neutron afterloading radiotherapy devices in operation on the market, the overall awareness of the standard is low, suggesting that relevant authorities need to strengthen training and publicity of the standard, and that certain sections of the standard need to be revised or merged.

Breast milk is the optimal natural food for newborns. However， some newborns cannot receive maternal breast milk due to reasons such as mother-infant separation or insufficient lactation. The establishment of human milk banks （HMB） can effectively address these issues， thereby increasing the breastfeeding rate among hospitalized newborns and improving their quality of survival. However， HMB in China is still in the development and improvement stage. Its implementation involves a series of ethical issues， such as informed consent， privacy protection， economic incentives， quality and safety， and fair resource distribution， which hinder HMB’s widespread promotion. Therefore， discussing the ethical dilemmas faced by the widespread establishment of HMB in China’s hospitals and analyzing coping strategies are crucial for improving the breastfeeding rate of newborns. This paper deeply analyzed and sorted out the ethical issues and challenges currently faced by HMB in China， and proposed corresponding strategies， including “ensuring informed consent and voluntary participation of both donors and recipients，” “protecting the privacy of donors and recipients，” “establishing an ethics-based moral incentive and social support system，” “strictly controlling quality and safety issues”， and “developing fair and rational policies，” aiming to provide a reference solution for addressing ethical concerns in the establishment and operation of HMB.

Objective To compare the clinical curative effect of retroauricular and tympanic injection of methylprednisolone sodium succinate combined with hyperbaric oxygen in nerve deafness.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the case data with nerve deafness.According to cohort method,they were divided into retroauricular injection group(retroauricular injection of 40 mg methylprednisolone sodium succinate+hyperbaric oxygen therapy)and tympanic injection group(tympanic injection of 40 mg methylprednisolone sodium succinate+hyperbaric oxygen therapy).Both groups were treated for 7 times(once every other day).The curative effect,pure tone hearing threshold,oxidative stress and inflammatory response indexes were compared between the two groups,and adverse reactions were statistically analyzed.Results There were 56 cases in retroauricular injection group and 60 cases in tympanic injection group.There was no significant difference in total response rate between retroauricular injection group and tympanic injection group(92.86％vs 88.33％,P＞0.05).After treatment,average pure tone hearing thresholds in retroauricular injection group and tympanic injection group were(38.49±5.71)and(40.35±6.23)dB;high-frequency hearing thresholds were(61.36±6.52)and(63.42±7.09)dB;low-frequency hearing thresholds were(59.72±6.85)and(60.81±7.26)dB;levels of superoxide dismutase(SOD)were(112.38±10.72)and(110.43±10.29)U·mL-1;levels of lipid peroxide(LPO)were(4.69±1.08)and(5.03±1.12)nmol·mL-1;endothelin(ET)levels were(2.11±0.76)and(2.34±0.81)ng·L-1;interleukin-6(IL-6)levels were(31.79±4.27)and(33.18±4.98)pg·mL-1;levels of C-reactive protein(CRP)were(5.25±1.48)and(5.72±1.62)mg·L-1;levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)were(45.33±4.61)and(46.95±5.24)ng·L-;the difference was not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).During treatment,there were significant differences in total incidence of adverse reactions between retroauricular injection group and tympanic injection group(23.21％vs 51.67％,P＜0.05).There were 11 case times of local pain and 4 case times of vertigo in retroauricular injection group,while there were 30 case times of local pain and 15 case times of vertigo in tympanic injection group.Conclusion Retroauricular injection or tympanic injection of methylprednisolone sodium succinate combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has the comparable curative effect in patients with nerve deafness;the two administration modes both can promote hearing recovery,relieve reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory response.However,retroauricular injection has lower incidence of local pain and vertigo.

Objective To explore the mechanism of action of lamotrigine in the treatment of major depressive disorder(MDD).Methods Information on the drug targets of lamotrigine and the therapeutic targets of MDD were collected for intersection target gene analysis and protein-protein interaction screening.Various biological pathways related to lamotrigine in treatment of MDD were determined through gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes enrichment analysis.The screened core targets were preliminarily validated using molecular docking technology.Further validation of Mendelian randomization was conducted using genome-wide association analysis data from gamma-aminobutyric acid recep tor-associated protein-like 1(GABARAPL1)and MDD in the OpenGWAS database.Results The biological pathways related to lamotrigine in treatment of MDD were identified,which included gamma-aminobutyric acid(GABA)ergic synapses,nicotine addiction,glutamatergic synapses,endogenous cannabinoid signaling.Molecular docking showed that the docking energy of lamotrigine with GABRA1,GABRB2,GABRA6,GABRD,GABRG2,GABRG1,GABRA5,GABRA4,GABRB3,and GABRA2 receptors was-5.8 kCal·mol-1.Among them,the GABRB3 receptor showed the strongest docking energy with lamotrigine,which was-9.5 kCal·mol-1.In the genome-wide association analysis data of GABARAPL1,303 single nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with GABARAPL1(P＜5 × 106).15 single nucleotide polymorphisms were screened and retained for Mendelian randomization analysis,and the results showed that GABA receptors may be an important therapeutic target for MDD.Conclusion The treatment of MDD with lamotrigine may be achieved by acting on GABA receptors,which provided a research basis for the clinical application of lamotrigine in treating MDD.

Diabetes has long been considered a risk factor in implant therapy and impaired wound healing in soft and hard oral tissues. Magnesium has been proved to promote bone healing under normal conditions. Here, we elucidate the mechanism by which Mg²⁺ promotes angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic status. We generated a diabetic mice model and demonstrated the alveolar bone healing was compromised, with significantly decreased angiogenesis. We then developed Mg-coating implants with hydrothermal synthesis. These implants successfully improved the vascularization and osseointegration in diabetic status. Mechanically, Mg²⁺ promoted the degradation of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and the nucleation of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) by up-regulating the expression of sestrin 2 (SESN2) in endothelial cells, thus reducing the elevated levels of oxidative stress in mitochondria and relieving endothelial cell dysfunction under hyperglycemia. Altogether, our data suggested that Mg²⁺ promoted angiogenesis and osseointegration in diabetic mice by regulating endothelial mitochondrial metabolism.

ObjectiveRapid and accurate identification of body fluid traces at crime scenes is crucial for case investigation. Leveraging the speed and sensitivity of nucleic acid detection technology based on SHERLOCK, our research focuses on developing a peripheral blood SHERLOCK-HBA detection system to detect mRNA in forensic practice. MethodsShort crRNA fragments targeting the blood-specific mRNA gene HBA were designed and screened, alongside RPA primers. Optimal RPA primers were selected based on specificity and amplification efficiency, leading to the establishment of the RPA system. The most efficient crRNA was chosen based on relative fluorescence units (RFU) generated by the Cas protein reaction, and the Cas protein reaction system was constructed to establish the SHERLOCK-HBA detection method. The RPA and Cas protein reaction systems in the SHERLOCK detection system were then individually optimized. A total of 79 samples of five body fluids were tested to evaluate the method’s ability to identify blood, with further verification through species-specific tests, sensitivity tests, mixed spots detection, aged samples, UV-irradiated samples, and actual casework samples. ResultsThe SHERLOCK reaction system for the peripheral blood-specific marker HBA was successfully established and optimized, enabling detection within 30 min. The method demonstrated a detection limit of 0.001 ng total RNA, better than FOB strip method and comparable to RT-PCR capillary electrophoresis. The system could detect target body fluids in mixed samples and identify blood in samples stored at room temperature for three years and exposed to UV radiation for 32 h. Detection of 11 casework samples showed performance comparable to RT-PCR capillary electrophoresis. ConclusionThis study presents a CRISPR/Cas-based SHERLOCK-HBA detection system capable of accurately, sensitively, and rapidly identifying blood samples. Introducing CRISPR/Cas technology to forensic body fluid identification represents a significant advancement in applying cutting-edge molecular biology techniques to forensic science.The method’s simplicity, shorter detection time, and independence from specialized equipment make it promising for rapid blood sample identification in forensic cases.
