ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Jingmaiyan granules （composed of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos， Sedi Herba， Paeoniae Radix Rubra， Moutan Cortex， Rhei Radix et Rhizoma Praeparata， and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma） combined with external application of Jinhuang Ointment in treating acute-stage blood heat stasis type superficial thrombophlebitis （ST） of lower extremities， and to explore their effects on hemorheology and serum inflammatory factors. MethodsA randomized， double-blind， placebo-controlled clinical trial was conducted. A total of 124 patients with lower extremity ST were randomized into two groups（62 cases in each group）. The control group received external application of Jinhuang ointment and oral placebo treatment， while the observation group received external application of Jinhuang ointment and oral Jingmaiyan granules. Both groups were treated for 2 weeks. The clinical symptom scores， therapeutic efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome， pain visual analog scale （VAS） scores， hemorheological indices ［including whole blood high-shear， medium-shear， and low-shear viscosity， as well as plasma viscosity （PV）］， and inflammatory factors ［C-reactive protein （CRP）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）］ were compared before and after treatment. ResultsAfter 2 weeks of treatment， the total effective rate in the observation group （98.3%， 60/62） was significantly higher than that in the control group （83.8%， 52/62）， with a statistically significant difference （Z=3.512 1， P<0.05）. Compared with pre-treatment scores， the scores for skin color， skin temperature， swelling， pain， and cord or nodules were significantly reduced in both groups （P<0.05）， with more pronounced improvement in the observation group （P<0.05）. Additionally， compared with pre-treatment levels， the whole blood viscosity （low-， medium-， and high-shear） significantly improved in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， with more marked improvement in the observation group （P<0.05）. Furthermore， the plasma viscosity， CRP， IL-6， and TNF-α levels were significantly reduced in both groups after treatment （P<0.05）， with more pronounced improvement observed in the observation group （P<0.05）. ConclusionThe combination of external application of Jinhuang ointment and oral Jingmaiyan granules effectively improves clinical symptoms， hemorheological abnormalities， and inflammatory responses in patients with acute stage blood heat stasis type ST of lower extremities. The treatment is safe and holds clinical promotion value.

Based on the theory of diseased collaterals and the progression pattern of diabetic kidney disease （DKD）， this paper proposes a staged treatment system based on the "three states of kidney collaterals" including collateral distention， collateral bi （痹） and collateral accumulation. In the collateral distention stage， the primary pathogenesis is heat damaging the kidney collaterals and collateral vessel dilation， corresponding to the early state of DKD characterized by hyperfiltration and microalbuminuria； the clearing method is suggested， and Shenling Jiangtang Formula （参苓降糖方） can be used to promote the remission of proteinuria by ameliorating insulin resistance and regulating intestinal microecology. In the collateral bi stage， the core pathogenesis lies in the binding of phlegm and stasis， and the formation of concretions and conglomerations in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to massive proteinuria and the decline of renal function， for which the unblocking method should be taken， using Jinchan Yishen Tongluo Formula （金蝉益肾通络方） and Qingre Xiaozheng Formula （清热消癥方） to alleviate renal pathological damage by regulating the autophagy-lysosome pathway and repairing mitochondrial energy metabolism. The collateral accumulation stage is characterized by the internal retention of turbid toxins and accumulations of concretions in the kidney collaterals， corresponding to renal fibrosis and end-stage renal disease （ESRD）； the dispersion method is suggested， and Yiqi Tongluo Xiezhuo Formula （益气通络泄浊方） and Shenyan Fangshuai Fluid （肾炎防衰液） can be used to inhibit extracellular matrix accumulation and delay the progressive loss of renal function. Collateral deficiency runs through the entire course of the disease and is closely related to cellular senescence and the imbalance of the ubiquitin-proteasome/autophagy system. The concept of the "three states of kidney collaterals" integrates the evolution of traditional Chinese medicine pathogenesis with modern pathological staging， forming a whole-course intervention system of "staging-syndrome differentiation-target-formula"， thereby providing novel insights for prevention and treatment of DKD using integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

This paper proposes a five-in-one diagnosis and treatment model of "disease-mechanism-syndrome-symptom-method" based on treatment guided by mechanism differentiation. The model consists of five component including disease identification， mechanism differentiation， syndrome differentiation， symptom differentiation， and the formulation of therapeutic strategies. Disease identification refers to the diagnosis of diseases in both traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and western medicine， aiming to clarify disease progression rules. Mechanism differentiation focuses on grasping the essential characteristics of the disease. Syndrome differentiation emphasizes the stage-specific features of disease evolution. Symptom differentiation highlights the patient's most urgent complaints and suffering. Finally， a comprehensive therapeutic strategy is developed， including internal medication， external applications， and non-pharmacological therapies. The five components of "disease-mechanism-syndrome-symptom-method" are organized in a sequential and progressive manner， forming an integrated whole that spans the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process.Disease identification represents the starting point， while mechanism differentiation serves as the core， and therapeutic formulation is the endpoint of the model， with the aim of achieving more precise treatment and improving clinical efficacy.

Objective To explore the effect of visual balance training combined with digital treadmill intervention on walking func-tion in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods From July,2023 to December,2024,90 patients with ischemic stroke in Gansu Provincial Hospital were ran-domly divided into control group(n=30),treadmill group(n=30)and combined group(n=30).All groups re-ceived routine rehabilitation treatment,while the treadmill group added digital treadmill training,and the com-bined group added visual feedback balance training and digital treadmill training,for four weeks.All groups were assessed with Berg Balance Scale(BBS),Pro-Kin visual feedback balance training system,Tinetti Performance-Oriented Mobility Assessment(POMA),digital treadmill system,Timed Up and Go Test(TUGT),Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Lower Extremities(FMA-LE),Functional Ambulation Category(FAC)and modified Barthel Index(MBI)before and after intervention.Results The effects of intra-group(F>147.291,P<0.001),inter-group(F>4.919,P<0.05)and interaction(F>18.386,P<0.001)were all significant for the indicators including BBS score,length trajectory and elliptical area of eyes open or closed,POMA score,step length,hip and knee range of motion on the healthy and affected side,TUGT time,FMA-LE score,and MBI score.Post-hoc tests showed that after treatment,all the above indicators improved in each group(P<0.01),and they were the best in the combined group,followed by the treadmill group(P<0.05).After treatment,the FAC grades improved in all the groups(|Z|>1.971,P<0.05),and it was better in the combined group than in the control group(P<0.01).Conclusion Visual feedback balance training combined with digital treadmill intervention can improve balance function,walking ability and activities of daily living in patients with ischemic stroke,which is more effective than tread-mill training alone.

A porous composite scaffold is prepared through freeze-drying method using sodium alginate as the matrix and calcium citrate double salt as the functional enhancer.To thoroughly investigate the structure and properties of the composite scaffold,advanced instruments including Fourier transform infrared spectrometer,X-ray diffractometer,scanning electron microscope,and thermogravimetric analyzer are utilized for comprehensive structural characterization.Meanwhile,key properties such as porosity,mechanical performance,swelling ratio,gel fraction,and in vitro degradation rate are systematically tested and analyzed.The results show that the composite of sodium alginate and calcium citrate double salt is a physical complex.The porosity of the scaffold mainly ranges from 200 to 600 μm,and as the addition of double salt increases,the pore size firstly increases and then slightly decreases,while the pore distribution become more uneven.In terms of mechanical properties,with the gradual increase of the content of double salt in the scaffold,the mechanical properties of the scaffold are significantly improved.However,its swelling ratio and gel fraction exhibit decreasing trends.Additionally,the degradation rate of the alginate scaffold is relatively fast,while the addition of calcium citrate double salt does not significantly improve the degradation rate.This study not only provides valuable insights into the preparation and property research of porous composite scaffold composed of sodium alginate/calcium citrate double salt,but also offers important reference for their potential applications in biomedicine.

Objective:To explore the complex network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality in colorectal cancer patients with colostomy, clarify core symptoms and bridging symptoms, so as to provide theoretical support for developing targeted intervention measures.Methods:Convenience sampling method was used to select 287 colorectal cancer patients with colostomy at Shanxi Province Fenyang Hospital and Lyuliang First People's Hospital between October 2023 and November 2024 as study subjects. Patients were assessed using the General Information Questionnaire, Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness Version 2-Chinese, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Network analysis was employed to investigate the network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality, as well as the characteristics of core nodes. A total of 287 questionnaires were distributed, and 281 effective questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 97.91% (281/287) .Results:Network analysis revealed that the strongest connection weights linking interoceptive sensitivity to sleep quality were observed between trust and daytime dysfunction (connection weight: -0.20), followed by trust and sleep duration (connection weight: -0.10). The strength, betweenness, and closeness of trust centrality indicators were 1.24, 2.34, and 1.73, respectively. Trust emerged as the core node within the interoceptive sensitivity cluster. The strength, betweenness, and closeness of daytime dysfunction indicators were 1.15, 1.92 and 1.67. Daytime dysfunction emerged as the core node within the sleep quality cluster. Trust served as a bridging role in the complex network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality.Conclusions:There is a strong correlation between trust and daytime dysfunction and sleep duration among colorectal cancer patients with colostomy. Trust is a key factor in the network correlation between interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality. Clinical healthcare providers can develop targeted interventions based on trust to improve the interoceptive sensitivity and sleep quality of colorectal cancer patients with colostomy.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a common microvascular complication of diabetes. "Internal heat leading to zheng" is the core pathogenesis of DKD, while "glucose toxicity" is transformed from subtle substances through "internal heat" and the cementation of various pathological products, which is pivotal to the transformation of diabetes to DKD. "Glucose toxicity" is characterized by deep and widespread heat, caused by various pathological factors, and its sticky nature makes it difficult to resolve, which can cause severe damage to the kidney collaterals. In the early stage of "glucose toxicity", it is yang pathogen, which can be transformed into yin pathogen in the later stage with disease progression. In clinical practice, treatment should be based on disease staging, with attention on grasping the pathogenesis of "internal heat leading to zheng" and identifying the nature of "glucose toxicity". During the diabetic period, clearing heat is the primary method, often using modified Yueju Pill and Dachaihu Decoction. In the early stage of DKD, treatment primarily focuses on clearing and penetrating latent heat to treat DKD, aiming to prevent toxic heat from transitioning from qi to blood. The approach emphasizes clearing heat and re-penetrating, detoxification, and re-clearing, often using a self-made modified Qingre Xiaozheng Decoction. In the middle and late stages of DKD, the focus shifts to clearing heat, eliminating zheng, strengthening vital qi, and dispelling turbidity, with commonly used treatments including the self-made modified Xiezhuo Xiaozheng Formula, Jingui Shenqi Pill, and Zhenwu Decoction.
