The development of intestinal-type gastric cancer follows a progression from non-atrophic gastritis — atrophic gastritis — intestinal metaplasia — epithelial dysplasia — gastric cancer，known as the " inflammation-cancer transformation. " Leveraging the advantages of integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine，while collaborating to inhibit this transformation，remains a research focus and challenge. The incidence of gastric cancer in China has declined with the continuous elucidation of the mechanisms behind inflammation-cancer transformation，innovations in early screening and diagnosis techniques in Western medicine，the establishment of risk stratification and treatment systems，and effective interventions through traditional Chinese medicine. Leveraging the theoretical and practical advantages of the " preventing disease before it occurs" philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine，particularly the concept of " preventing transformation in existing diseases，" is essential. This approach emphasizes shifting the focus of prevention and treatment to earlier stages of disease progression. Developing more effective and reliable strategies and innovative drugs that block the dynamic progression of the " inflammation-cancer transformation" in gastric cancer remains a key goal. This article reviews the latest progress in both basic and clinical research in this field，the issues related to high-level clinical research in traditional Chinese medicine，the construction of integrated diagnosis and treatment pathways combining Chinese and Western medicine，the establishment of efficacy evaluation standards，and the elucidation of the integration mechanisms of the complex system of traditional Chinese medicine. It also explores research directions and solutions within the context of multidisciplinary collaboration to provide insights and references to block inflammation-cancer transformation and to construct a gastric cancer prevention and control system with Chinese characteristics，thereby further enhancing the level of gastric cancer prevention and control.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk factors for postoperative delirium (POD) in patients undergoing pneumonectomy. Methods PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP databases were searched from the inception to November 7, 2024 for cross-sectional studies, case-control studies, and cohort studies on POD in patients undergoing pneumonectomy. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted data, and evaluated the quality of the literature. RevMan 5.4.1 software was used for meta-analysis. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the quality of the literature. Results A total of 12 studies were included, with 5 574 patients. The NOS scores of the literature were all≥6 points. Meta-analysis results showed that age (≥60 years) [OR=2.43, 95%CI (2.01, 2.93), P<0.01], American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (Ⅳ) [OR=8.74, 95%CI (5.23, 14.61), P<0.01], history of diabetes [OR=12.81, 95%CI (10.45, 15.71), P<0.01], history of cerebrovascular disease [OR=3.00, 95%CI (2.46, 3.67), P<0.01], depression [OR=7.27, 95%CI (5.46, 9.67), P<0.01], squamous cell carcinoma [OR=4.79, 95%CI (1.83, 12.51), P<0.01], malnutrition [OR=5.25, 95%CI (3.35, 8.25), P<0.01], sleep disorders [OR=2.79, 95%CI (2.28, 3.42), P<0.01], and duration of one-lung ventilation during surgery [OR=1.32, 95%CI (1.11, 1.57), P<0.01] were all risk factors for POD, while high body mass index (BMI) [OR=0.96, 95%CI (0.95, 0.97), P<0.01] was a protective factor for POD. Conclusion Age (≥60 years), ASA classification (Ⅳ), history of diabetes, history of cerebrovascular disease, depression, squamous cell carcinoma, malnutrition, sleep disorders, and duration of one-lung ventilation during surgery are independent risk factors for POD, while high BMI is a protective factor.

ObjectiveTo observe the short-term and long-term efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） surgical operations in treating mixed hemorrhoids. MethodsA multi-center retrospective cohort study was conducted， collecting clinical data from 17，831 mixed hemorrhoid surgery patients in 8 top-tier TCM hospitals in Jiangsu Province. Standardized and structured datasets were obtained through artificial intelligence models. Patients who underwent western surgical treatment were categorized into the western surgery group （11,646 cases）， and those receiving TCM surgical operations were categorized into the TCM surgery group （6185 cases）. Propensity score matching （1∶1 matching） was used to balance baseline data between groups. The primary outcome was the one-year recurrence rate， and secondary outcomes included the main symptoms （rectal bleeding， degree of prolapse） and secondary symptoms （anal distension， anal edema， wound secretion and exudation， anal stenosis， residual skin tags， perianal itching， and anal pain） measured on days 7， 28， and 60 after discharge. ResultsAfter matching， 2194 patients were included in each group. Symptom scores showed that at 28 days after discharge， the TCM surgical group had superior improvement in rectal bleeding ［OR=5.786， 95%CI （3.092，10.827）］， degree of prolapse ［OR=4.510， 95%CI （1.649，12.333）］， and anal edema ［OR=3.188， 95%CI （1.295，7.845）］ compared to the western surgical group. At 60 days post-discharge， the TCM group still showed advantages in improving rectal bleeding ［OR=5.237， 95%CI （1.077，25.464）］ and anal pain ［OR=11.697， 95%CI （1.186，115.336）］ （P＜0.05）. Long-term follow-up showed that the one-year recurrence rate in the TCM surgery group was 1.1% （8/726）， while that in the western surgery group was 2.3% （10/444）， with no statistically significant difference between the two groups （P＞0.05）. ConclusionBased on real-world data， TCM surgical treatment for mixed hemorrhoids shows significant short-term symptom improvement， particularly in terms of hemostasis， reducing swelling， and alleviating prolapse of anal masses.

This paper has constructed a traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） specialized disease dataset platform for mixed hemorrhoids based on a multimodal large model， and the preliminary application has been validated. The platform uses StarRocks to establish a four-level data warehouse system， enabling the aggregation， cleaning， and standardization of multi-source heterogeneous data. Using DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B as the base model， domain fine-tuning is performed through low-rank adaptation （LoRA） technology. Combined with LLaMA-3.3 natural language processing and reasoning chain techniques， the platform enables intelligent parsing and structured extraction of unstructured TCM medical records. It accurately identifies six major categories and 28 subcategories of entities， including symptoms and syndromes， with a fine-tuned model F1 score of 93.8%. The platform has established a high-quality specialized disease dataset containing more than 50,000 medical records and has been applied in a real-world study involving 17,831 patients， preliminarily verifying the efficacy of TCM heritage surgery.

This paper systematically reviews the current status of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine in the treatment of Helicobacter pylori （Hp） infection， as well as recent progress in clinical and basic research both in China and internationally. It summarizes the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in Hp infection management， including improving Hp eradication rates， enhancing antibiotic sensitivity， reducing antimicrobial resistance， decreasing drug-related adverse effects， and ameliorating gastric mucosal lesions. These advantages are particularly evident in patients who are intolerant to bismuth-containing regimens， those with refractory Hp infection， and individuals with precancerous gastric lesions. An integrated， whole-process management approach and individualized， staged comprehensive treatment strategies combining TCM and western medicine are proposed for Hp infection. Future prevention and control of Hp infection should adopt an integrative Chinese-western medical strategy， emphasizing prevention， strengthening primary care， implementing proactive long-term monitoring， optimizing screening strategies， and advancing the development of novel technologies and mechanistic studies of Chinese herbal interventions. These efforts aim to provide a theoretical basis and practical pathways for the establishment and improvement of Hp infection prevention and control systems.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the anti-Mycoplasma pneumoniae (MP) activity of luteolin and elucidate its underlying mechanisms. MethodsLuteolin was identified as the primary active compound from the polyphenol extract ofF. diotrys using network pharmacology. Its efficacy was evaluated against two MP strains: the standard strain M129 and the multidrug-resistant strain M19. A modified culture medium with visual characteristics was employed to determine the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of luteolin. The expression of key proteins involved in MP growth and pathogenicity was assessed by qRT-PCR following luteolin treatment. Additionally, the viability of A549 cells infected with MP was compared between luteolin-treated and untreated groups. In vivo anti-MP activity was evaluated using a mouse model, and the expression of inflammatory cytokines in lung tissues was analyzed. ResultsLuteolin effectively inhibited both MP strains, with MIC₉₀ values of 100 mg/L for M19 and M129. Treatment with luteolin significantly downregulated the expression of adhesion proteins P1 and P30 in both strains. However, the expression of P65, HMW3, TrmB, and CARDS TX was reduced only in the M19 strain following luteolin intervention. Luteolin also enhanced the growth and viability of A549 cells infected with MP. In the mouse model, luteolin treatment resulted in steady weight gain and was well tolerated. The bacteriostatic rate of luteolin in lung tissues was 50.7%, significantly higher than the 25.2% observed in the roxithromycin group. Furthermore, luteolin reduced the expression of inflammatory factors, including IL-6, TNF-α, and HMGB1, in MP-infected mice. ConclusionLuteolin effectively and safely inhibits the proliferation and pathogenicity of MP, particularly the drug-resistant M19 strain, by downregulating the expression of toxicity-associated proteins (P1, P30, P65, HMW3, TrmB, CARDS TX) and modulating host inflammatory responses. These findings suggest that luteolin may offer a novel therapeutic strategy for treating MP infections, especially those caused by drug-resistant strains.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the mechanism by which Erchentang improves body weight in obese mice by regulating the AMP‑activated protein kinase （AMPK）/peroxisome proliferator‑activated receptor γ coactivator‑1α （PGC‑1α） signaling pathway and inducing browning of inguinal white adipose tissue （iWAT）. MethodsObese mouse models were established by feeding a high‑fat diet. After successful modeling， mice were randomly divided into a model group and low‑， medium‑， and high‑dose Erchentang groups （7.5， 15， 30 g·kg^-1）， with six mice in each group. Another six normal mice were set as the normal group. Mice in the treatment groups were administered with corresponding doses of the drug by gavage， while those in the normal and model groups were administered with an equal volume of pure water by gavage for four consecutive weeks. Obesity was evaluated by body weight and Lee's index. The levels of low‑density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL‑C） and high‑density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL‑C） in serum were detected by biochemical assays. The leptin content in serum was measured by enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Hematoxylin and eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological morphology of the liver and iWAT. Immunofluorescence staining was applied to detect the protein expression levels of glucose transporter 4 （GLUT4） in the liver and iWAT. Molecular docking was performed to simulate the binding affinity between the key components of Erchentang （nobiletin， diosmetin， naringenin） and the key pathway proteins AMPK and PGC‑1α. Western blot was used to detect the protein expression levels of uncoupling protein‑1 （UCP‑1）， AMPK， phosphorylated AMP-activated protein kinase （p‑AMPK）， and PGC‑1α in iWAT. ResultsCompared with those in the normal group， the mice in the model group showed significantly increased body weight and Lee's index， elevated levels of HDL‑C， LDL‑C， and leptin in serum， enlarged adipocytes in iWAT， down‑regulated protein expression levels of GLUT4 in iWAT and liver， and decreased protein expression levels of UCP‑1 and PGC‑1α in iWAT（P<0.05， P<0.01）， the expression level of p-AMPK / AMPK protein was up-regulated， but the difference was not statistically significant. Compared with those in the model group， the mice in the Erchentang groups with different doses exhibited significantly reduced body weight and Lee's index， decreased levels of HDL‑C， LDL‑C， and leptin in serum， smaller adipocytes in iWAT， up‑regulated GLUT4 protein expression levels in iWAT and liver， and increased protein expression levels of UCP‑1， p‑AMPK/AMPK， and PGC‑1α in iWAT （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Molecular docking results show that nobiletin， diosmetin， and naringenin have strong binding energies with both AMPK and PGC‑1α. ConclusionErchentang may improve body weight in obese mice by regulating the AMPK/PGC‑1α signaling pathway and inducing iWAT browning.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Erchentang （ECD） on the body weight of the mouse model of simple obesity induced by a high-fat diet （HFD） and decipher the underlying mechanisms. MethodsFirstly， single-cell transcriptomics （Sc-RNAseq） was employed to analyze the transcriptional changes in the ileum tissue of mice in the normal group and model group. Then， a mouse model of simple obesity was established with a high-fat diet. The successfully modeled mice were randomly allocated into the following four groups （n=8）： model， low-dose （7.5 g·kg^-1） ECD， medium-dose （15 g·kg^-1） ECD， and high-dose （30 g·kg^-1） ECD. Additionally， 8 mice of the same age were selected as the normal group. The body weight was measured at fixed time points during the 4-week gavage period. The overall efficacy of ECD in alleviating obesity was evaluated through glucose tolerance testing， behavioral analysis， hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining， and biochemical testing. Protein docking was employed to predict the degree of binding between corresponding proteins. Molecular docking was employed to predict the binding degree between key components of ECD and target proteins. Real-time PCR was employed to determine the mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， CD68， CD206， zonula occludens-1 （ZO-1）， and Claudin-5 in the ileum. Immunofluorescence staining was used to observe the expression and distribution of Claudin-5 and ZO-1. ResultsThe Sc-RNAseq results indicated that the differentially expressed genes of immune cells in the model group in comparison with the normal group were primarily enriched in biological functions related to lipid metabolism and inflammatory metabolism. Additionally， these genes were associated with the janus kinases（JAK）/signal transducers and activators of transcription （STAT） signaling pathway， an inflammation-related pathway. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed increases in body weight （P<0.01） and blood glucose level （P<0.01）， a decrease in limb strength （P<0.01）， an increase in liver weight （P<0.05）， and elevated serum alanine amino-transferase （ALT） and aspartate transferase （AST） levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Additionally， the model group exhibited increased hepatic fat vacuoles， notably enlarged adipocytes in the epididymal and inguinal white adipose tissue， and increased inflammation. Compared with the model group， ECD groups showed reduced body weights （P<0.01） and blood glucose levels （P<0.01）， increased limb strength （P<0.05， P<0.01）， decreased liver weights （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and declined serum ALT and AST levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Additionally， ECD reduced hepatic fat vacuoles and the adipocyte volume in the epididymal and inguinal white adipose tissue， and alleviated inflammation. Potential interactions existed between CD68 and ZO-1/Claudin-5， as well as between CD206 and ZO-1/Claudin-5. The key components of ECD， nobiletin， diosmetin， and naringenin， all demonstrated strong binding affinity with the target proteins ZO-1 and Claudin-5. Compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited up-regulated mRNA levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α， iNOS， IL-1β， and CD68 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and down-regulated mRNA levels of the anti-inflammatory cytokine CD206 （P<0.01） and the tight junction proteins Claudin-5 and ZO-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. In comparison with the model group， the ECD groups showed down-regulated mRNA levels of TNF-α， iNOS， IL-1β， and CD68 （P<0.05， P<0.01） and up-regulated mRNA levels of CD206， Claudin-5， and ZO-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited down-regulated expression of tight junction proteins Claudin-5 and ZO-1 （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， ECD groups showed up-regulated expression of Claudin-5 and ZO-1 （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionECD can significantly ameliorate HFD-induced obesity and excessive body weight gain in mice by improving the inflammatory microenvironment in the ileum and further restoring the integrity of the impaired ileal barrier.
