To thoroughly implement the strategic deployment outlined in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance and Innovative Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine regarding research on dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine and to uphold the development philosophy of equal emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,the China Association of Chinese Medicine has fully played a leading academic role by systematically organizing and conducting a series of academic youth salons on clinical dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine. On September 13,2024,the 36th Youth Salon on Clinical Dominant Diseases was successfully held in Nanjing,focusing on the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and the integrative traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The conference brought together leading experts from traditional Chinese medicine,western medicine,and interdisciplinary fields,facilitating in-depth multidisciplinary discussions that led to key consensus on optimizing traditional Chinese medicine treatment protocols for ED,researching and developing new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,and advancing interdisciplinary development in traditional Chinese medicine. This salon systematically sorted out the clinical strengths and distinctive features of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of ED. Based on current research foundations and clinical needs,it identified key directions for future scientific layout and scientific research tackling: (1) Standardization of syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine for ED. (2) Optimization and standardization of intervention methods of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. (3) High-quality clinical research guided by evidence-based medicine. (4) In-depth analysis of the pharmacological mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of ED. (5) Clinical translation and application promotion of new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine. (6) Interdisciplinary integration and innovation in traditional Chinese medicine. For each research direction,key focus areas,expected objectives,and clinical value were further refined,along with the establishment of a scientifically sound priority funding level evaluation system. Therefore,building on the series of salons on the ED-focused dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine,this paper provides standardized guidance for clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in ED management,effectively contributing to the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine. It serves as a valuable reference for national scientific and technological strategic layout, research and development decision-making in new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,research topic planning,and clinical guideline formulation.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax and its influencing factors in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). METHODS After 5 days of venetoclax administration, venous blood samples were collected from AML patients before the next dose. Plasma trough concentrations of venetoclax were determined using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Spearman correlation was used to assess the correlations between venetoclax plasma trough concentration and various parameters (including patients’ general information, venetoclax-related indicators, liver function indicators, kidney function indicators, and blood routine indicators). Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to identify independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Using efficacy as dependent variable [complete remission (CR)+partial remission (PR) vs. no remission (NR)], univariate and multivariate binary Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify factors affecting efficacy. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive value of venetoclax plasma trough concentration for clinical efficacy (assessed as CR). RESULTS A total of 172 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 101 patients were included in this study. The median plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 2.38 (1.18, 3.85) μg/mL; the median sampling time for plasma trough concentration of venetoclax was 10 (7, 15) d; the duration of venetoclax use was (34±12) d. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that alkaline phosphatase ( B =14.65, 95%CI: 5.35-23.95, P =0.002), total bilirubin ( B =-101.71, 95%CI: -197.16 to -6.25, P =0.037), and white blood cell count ( B =-106.84, 95%CI: -187.61 to -26.07, P =0.010) were independent factors influencing plasma trough concentration of venetoclax. Due to patient attrition during treatment, 114 venetoclax plasma trough concentration measurements from 69 patients were included for efficacy evaluation. The results showed that 46 patients (66.7%) achieved CR, 11 patients (15.9%) achieved PR, and 12 patients (17.4%) were NR. Multivariate binary Logistic regression analysis showed that age, hemoglobin, venetoclax plasma trough concentration, hematocrit, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin were independent factors affecting patient efficacy ( P <0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the cut-off value of plasma trough concentration of venetoclax for predicting patient efficacy (assessed as CR) was 1.68 μg/mL (AUC=0.66, 95%CI: 0.54-0.78, P =0.014). CONCLUSIONS There is considerable inter-individual variability in plasma trough concentration of venetoclax among AML patients. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is significantly correlated with alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, and white blood cell count. Plasma trough concentration of venetoclax is an independent factor affecting patient’s efficacy, and when the cut-off value for predicting CR is above 1.68 μg/mL, better effects may be achieved.

This paper summarizes Professor WANG Yaoxian's experience in treating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from the perspective of spleen and stomach based on the "internal heat leading to concretions" theory. It is considered that internal heat leading to concretions constitutes the core pathogenesis of DKD, with the spleen and stomach serving as the source of internal heat; therefore, treatment should be based on regulating the spleen and stomach. In the early stage of DKD, dysfunction of the spleen and stomach leads to the initial generation of internal heat. Common syndrome patterns include gastrointestinal heat accumulation and constrained heat in the liver and stomach, for which modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction (葛根芩连汤) can be used to clear heat bind while modified Dachaihu Decoction (大柴胡汤) is used to clear stomach and soothe liver, respectively. In the middle stage of DKD, weakness of the spleen and stomach results in the initial formation of concretions and conglomerations. Common patterns include spleen deficiency with prevalence of dampness and deficiency of both the spleen and kidney. Treatment emphasizes strengthening the spleen and resolving dampness, raising yang and boosting the stomach with modified Shengyang Yiwei Decoction (升阳益胃汤), or supplementing spleen and boosting kidney, dissipating bind and dispe-ring concretions with modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction (参芪地黄汤), respectively. In the late stage of DKD, it is characterized by spleen and stomach depletion, and rampant accumulation of turbidity and toxin, and the common syndrome patterns are damp-turbidity obstruction in the middle jiao (焦) and spleen-kidney yang deficiency. Treatment aims to remove turbidity and harmonize the stomach, or to warm the kidney and strengthen the spleen while elimina-ting turbidity, using modified Dahuang Gancao Decoction(大黄甘草汤) and Jupi Zhuru Decoction (橘皮竹茹汤) or modified Baoyuan Decoction (保元汤) and Lizhong Decoction (理中汤), respectively. In clinical practice, appropriate formulas and medications are flexibly selected according to specific syndromes.

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.

Objective:To investigate the effects of intraoperative administration of esketamine on gastrointestinal function in patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy.Methods:A total of 150 patients undergoing laparoscopic total hysterectomy in Dingzhou People’s Hospital from Nov. 2022 to Nov. 2023 were selected as the study subjects. They were divided into the observation group ( n=75) and the control group ( n=75) based on whether esketamine was administered intraoperatively. Patients in the control group received intravenous infusion of normal saline, while those in the observation group received intravenous infusion with added esketamine. Surgical-related time courses, drug dosages, changes in heart rate (HR) , changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) , serum intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) concentrations at different time points, claudin-1 concentrations at different time points, and postoperative gastrointestinal symptom rating scale scores were observed in both groups. Results:The pneumoperitoneum duration and intraoperative drug dosage were lower in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.01) . Statistically significant differences were found between groups, time points, and interactions for HR ( P<0.001) , with HR at T2, T3, T4, and T5 being significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05) . Statistically significant differences were also found between groups, time points, and interactions for MAP changes ( P<0.001) , with MAP changes at T2, T3, T4, and T5 being significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05) . Statistically significant differences were observed between groups, time points, and interactions for serum I-FABP concentrations at different time points ( P<0.001) , with the serum I-FABP concentrations at 2 hours during pneumoperitoneum and after pneumoperitoneum being significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05) . Similarly, statistically significant differences were found between groups, time points, and interactions for claudin-1 concentrations at different time points ( P<0.001) , with the claudin-1 concentrations at 2 hours during pneumoperitoneum and after pneumoperitoneum being significantly lower in the observation group than in the control group ( P<0.05) . The gastrointestinal symptom score was lower in the observation group than in the control group, and the time to first flatus and first defecation was shorter in the observation group ( P<0.05) . Conclusion:The intraoperative administration of esketamine in laparoscopic total hysterectomy can promote postoperative gastrointestinal function recovery, reduce gastrointestinal symptom scores, and shorten the time to first flatus and first defecation.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic factors of ultrasound-guided microwave ablation (MWA) in the treatment of papillary thyroid carcinoma.Methods:The medical records of 97 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma treated in Shangqiu First People’s Hospital from Jun. 2019 to Dec. 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.All of them were treated with ultrasount-guided MWA,including 38 males and 59 females,aged (48.24±7.86) years. The patients were followed up until Oct. 2024, and the prognosis of the patients was statistically analyzed.According to whether there was new lymph node metastasis or recurrence,the patients were divided into good prognosis group and poor prognosis group.Statistical software SPSS26.0 was used to process the baseline data of the two groups,and the factors affecting the prognosis of papillary thyroid carcinoma were analyzed.Results:Among 97 patients,3 cases were lost to follow-up,73 cases were in good prognosis group and 21 cases were in poor prognosis group.The incidence of multiple lesions,diameter 5-10 mm,close envelope and BRAFV600E mutations in poor prognosis group were 52.38%, 76.19%, 61.90% and 57.14%, respectively, which were higher than 27.40%, 49.32%, 20.55% and 31.51% in good prognosis group ( P<0.05) .TSH level of (2.94±0.61) mlU/L was higher than that of good prognosis group (2.67±0.52) mlU/L ( P<0.05) .Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that multiple lesions ( OR=2.915,95%CI:1.073-7.916) ,diameter 5-10mm ( OR=3.289,95% CI:1.090-9.920) , close to the envelope ( OR=6.283,95% CI:2.203-17.917) and BRAFV600E mutations ( OR=2.899,95% CI:1.071-7.843) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis in ultrasound-guided MWA treatment of isthmic papillary carcinoma ( P<0.05) .The ROC curve showed that the AUC value of the four combinations was 0.895,which was significantly higher than the number of lesions (0.625) , tumor size (0.634) , close envelope (0.707) and BRAFV600E mutation (0.628) . Conclusion:Multiple lesions,5-10mm in diameter,close envelope and BRAFV600E mutation are the factors affecting the poor prognosis of patients with isthmic papillary carcinoma treated with ultrasound-guided MWA,and the combination of the four factors is more effective in predicting the prognosis of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma.
