AIM: To conduct a CiteSpace-based visualization analysis of the literature on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)treatment of diabetic retinopathy(DR)from January 2014 to January 2024.METHODS: The literatures were retrieved from the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)database. Co-occurrence, clustering, and emergence analyses of annual publications, authors, research institutions, and keywords were performed using Note Express and CiteSpace software to generate knowledge graph.RESULTS: A total of 643 Chinese-language articles were included. The annual publication trend was characterized by fluctuations. The primary research institutions were Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medical and Eye Hospital China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences. Twenty high-frequency keywords were identified, including diabetes, TCM, and review, along with emergent terms such as Qiming granules and data mining. The research focus in 2014 was on exploring therapeutic methods and the efficacy of proprietary Chinese medicines. From 2016 to 2018, the research perspective expanded to include symptoms and multi-factorial analysis. Between 2018 and 2020, there was an in-depth investigation into evidence types and disease stages. After 2019, the emphasis shifted towards TCM-specific therapies and patient-centered concepts. From 2022 to 2024, innovation in research methods and the theory of TCM collaterals theory emerged as new hotspots.CONCLUSION: The research on TCM treatment for DR is still in an ascending phase. The primary research hotspot currently centers on Qiming granules. Future trends are likely to focus on the efficacy and mechanisms of action. The combined application of different therapies and long-term follow-up experimental research could provide a more robust basis for evidence-based medicine, unearth the potential of TCM, and promote its development in the prevention and treatment of DR.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of intranasal corticosteroids （INCS） combined with oral H1- antihistamine （AH） in the treatment of allergic rhinitis. METHODS A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed， Embase， CNKI， and VIP database to collect randomized controlled trial （RCT） that INCS combined with AH （experimental group） versus INCS （control group） in the treatment of allergic rhinitis from the inception to December 31， 2024. After study selection， data extraction， and quality assessment， a meta-analysis was performed by using RevMan 5.3 software. RESULTS A total of 12 RCTs were included in the meta-analysis， with a total of 1 842 patients. Results of meta-analysis showed that， compared with the control group， patients in the experimental group had a greater reduction in sneezing scores， rhinorrhea scores， nasal congestion scores， nasal itching scores， total nasal symptom scores， total ocular symptom scores， and rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire scores （P＜0.05）. The incidence of headache was lower in the experimental group （P＜0.05）； whereas there were no significant differences between the two groups in the incidence of nosebleed， dryness of the mouth and nose， drowsiness， fatigue， and total adverse events （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with INCS monotherapy， the combination of INCS and oral AH provides superior efficacy and safety in the treatment of allergic rhinitis.

With the rapid development of information technology， research on ancient TCM books has shifted from the traditional collation and digitization into intelligent knowledge service， thereby achieving the deep integration of ancient TCM books collation and clinical needs. Based on the clinical problem and knowledge element theory， we implemented in-depth indexing and knowledge mining for 600 kinds of ancient TCM books， built a knowledge sharing service platform for ancient TCM books by integrating database， cloud platform， knowledge graph and other technologies， and carried out the thematic literature research and developed databases for four major diseases including stroke， heart failure， liver cirrhosis， and diabetes. The digital intelligence products have been applied in hundreds of hospitals for evaluation and feedback. Finally， through "digital processing plus intelligent application"， the two-way interaction between ancient TCM books and current clinical practice is realized， and the path and paradigm of ancient TCM books knowledge serving the modern prevention and control of major diseases is formed， providing reference for the innovative utilization of ancient TCM books.

Objective:To conjecture the correlation between fetal hydrothorax(FHT)and pregnancy outcome through the analysis of 95 fetuses with hydrothorax and their mothers.Methods:In this case series study, 95 FHT patients admitted to the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to October 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.According to the pregnancy outcome, these patients were divided into the induced labor group (13 patients) and the delivery group (82 patients). General data and genetic examinations of patients in the induced labor group were analyzed to explore their pathogenesis and genetics.According to the neonatal Apgar score, patients in the delivery group were divided into the normal group and the asphyxia group.Fifteen indicators including the maternal age, gestational week at first diagnosis, maternal complications, FHT location, FHT severity, FHT outcome during pregnancy, fetal ascites, hydrops fetalis, other abnormal fetal structures, amniotic fluid volume, intrauterine treatment, gestational week of delivery, mode of delivery, sex of the newborn, and newborn birth weight in the 2 groups were comparatively analyzed by the chi-square test.With the neonatal Apgar score as the dependent variable, variables that had statistical significance during the univariate analysis were included in the regression analysis, and a multivariate binary Logistic regression equation was established to explore the factors affecting the pregnancy outcome.Results:There were significant differences in the FHT outcome during pregnancy (16/22/13 cases vs.2/18/11 cases, χ2=6.994, P=0.030), FHT severity (27/24 cases vs.9/22 cases, χ2=4.475, P=0.034), hydrops fetalis (14/37 cases vs.23/8 cases, χ2=17.012, P=0.001), amniotic fluid volume (21/30 cases vs.24/7 cases, χ2=10.228, P=0.001), intrauterine treatment (19/32 cases vs.2/29 cases, χ2=9.603, P=0.002), gestational week of delivery[(38.15±2.05) weeks vs.(34.83±3.14) weeks, t=5.748, P=0.001], and newborn birth weight[(3 325.00±637.41) g vs.(2 714.58±837.99) g, t=3.727, P=0.001]between the normal and asphyxia groups(all P<0.05). Among them, hydrops fetalis ( OR=7.070, P=0.020) and severe FHT ( OR=6.927, P=0.043) were risk factors for neonatal Apgar scores.Intrauterine treatment ( OR=0.062, P=0.027) and gestational week of delivery( OR=0.577, P=0.022) could be used as a protective factor for neonatal Apgar scores. Conclusions:Diagnosis of FHT during the early gestational weeks and multiple fetal structural abnormalities, especially hydrops fetalis, have higher probabilities of abnormal genetic examinations, and the fetal prognosis was poor.It is recommended to carry out chromosomal karyo type and microarray tests, as well as whole exome sequencing and detection of genetic syndromes(if necessary), to avoid unnecessary fetal treatment and improve the survival rate of perinatal infants after intrauterine treatment.The poor prognosis is related to hydrops fetalis and severe FHT; however, timely intrauterine treatment and prolonging pregnancy can improve the pregnancy outcome and increase the survival rate of perinatal infants.

Diabetes retinopathy (DR) is a blinding ocular complication of diabetes, and its pathological mechanism is complex. The damage to the retinal neurovascular unit (NVU) and the imbalance of its coupling mechanism are important pathological foundations. Autophagy plays an important role in the progression of DR. Oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, hypoxia, and competitive endogenous RNA regulatory networks can affect the occurrence of autophagy, and autophagy induced cell death is crucial in NVU dysfunction. Retinal neurocyte are non-renewable cells, and adaptive autophagy targeting neuronal cells may provide a new direction for early vision rescue in patients with DR. It is necessary that exploring the possible autophagy interrelationships between ganglion cells, glial cells, and vascular constituent cells, searching for targeted specific cell autophagy inhibitors or activators, and exploring the impact of autophagy on the NVU complex more comprehensively at the overall level. Adopting different autophagy intervention methods at different stages of DR may be one promising research directions for future DR.

Objective The objective of this study was to establish a mouse model of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and investigate the role of the NLRP3 signaling pathway in allergic rhinoconjunctivitis.Methods Thirty-three female C57 mice(SPF)were randomLy divided into 3 groups:the control group,the experimental group,and the NLRP3-/-group.On days 0,4,7,14,and 21,the experimental group and NLRP3-/-group received a 0.2 mL intraperitoneal injection of medicine containing OVA(100 μg)and adjuvant Al(OH)3(4 mg),respectively.After an interval of 3 days,each eye and nose were dosed with 10 μL of 5%OVA for five consecutive days a week to induce allergic symptoms.During sensitization and excitation stages,the control group was replaced with an equiva-lent amount of PBS.Ocular and nasal symptoms were observed and scored.The levels of OVA-specific IgE,IL-4,IL-17,and IL-18 in serum were measured using ELISA,while changes in palpebral conjunctiva and nasal mucosa were assessed by hematoxylin-eosin staining.The expression of NLRP3 mRNA in conjunctival tissue and nasal mucosa was determined using real-time PCR analysis.Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS17.0 software with P<0.05 considered as statistically significant difference.Results The experimental group and NLRP3-/-group exhibited induced nasal and ocular allergic symptoms.In the experimental group,the duration of nasal allergy symptoms was(10.500±1.080)days,while the duration of eye allergy symptoms was(20.300±2.058)days.In the NLRP3-/-group,the duration of nasal allergy symptoms was(13.400±1.955)days,and for eye allergy symp-toms it was(20.900±2.132)days.The duration of nasal allergies in the NLRP3-/-group significantly exceeded that in the experimental group(P<0.05),whereas there were no significant differences observed in eye allergy durations between these two groups(P>0.05).Levels of OVA-specific IgE,IL-4,and IL-17 were significantly higher in both the experimental and NLRP3-/-groups compared to those in the control group(P<0.05).Additionally,serum IL-18 content increased significantly in the experimental group when compared with both control and NLRP3-/-groups(P<0.05).Conjunctival tissue lesions as well as nasal mucosa damage were evident in both experimental and NLRP3-/-groups.mRNA expression levels of NLRP3 within conjunctival tissue and nasal mucosa from the experimental group showed a significant increase when compared to those from both control and NLRP3-/-groups(P<0.05).Conclusion Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis pathogenesis is influenced by various factors;however,the involvement of NLPR3 signaling pathway promotes its development.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the changes of serum human surfactant pro-tein D(SP-D)and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(sVCAM-1)levels and postoperative fracture healing and short-term prognosis in patients with traumatic rib fractures.Methods A total of 102 patients with traumatic rib fractures who were treated in Banan Hospital Affiliated to Chongqing Medical University from January 2020 to December 2021 were selected as the research objects.After 8 months of treatment,the healing status of the patients was analyzed and divided into non-healing group(21 cases)and healing group(81 cases).Ac-cording to the pulmonary contusion,the patients were divided into pulmonary contusion group(19 cases)and non-pulmonary contusion group(83 cases).The serum levels of SP-D and sVCAM-1 were compared between the healing group and the non-healing group,and between the pulmonary contusion group and the non-pulmo-nary contusion group.The relationship between the changes of serum SP-D and sVCAM-1 levels and postop-erative fracture healing and short-term prognosis in patients with traumatic rib fractures were studied.Results The levels of SP-D and sVCAM-1 in the healing group were lower than those in the non-healing group(P＜0.05).The levels of SP-D and sVCAM-1 in the non-pulmonary contusion group were lower than those in the pulmonary contusion group(P＜0.05).Serum SP-D and sVCAM-1 levels were independent risk factors for postoperative fracture healing and short-term prognosis.Conclusion The changes of serum SP-D and sVCAM-1 levels in patients with traumatic rib fractures are related to fracture healing and short-term prognosis,which can be used as an important reference for prognosis evaluation.

Objective:To explore the anger emotional state,traits and expression characteristics in patients with schizophrenia with violent behavior in community.Methods:Twenty-five patients with schizopnrenia with a history of violent behavior among the community rehabilitation institutions were selected as the violent behavior group,and 74 patients with schizopnrenia without a history of violent behavior were selected as the nonviolent behavior group.The Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale(BPRS)was used to assess psychiatric symptoms,and the State-Trait An-ger Expression Inventory(STAXI)was used to assess anger characteristics.Results:Compared with the nonviolent behavior group,the violent behavior group had significantly higher scores in the trait of anger(patient dimension score,rational dimension score)and expression of anger(total score,restraint dimension score)[(28.0±23.8)vs.(19.6±13.3),(55.0±30.6)vs.(40.0±21.5),(34.2±11.6)vs.(27.3±10.7),(56.0±26.1)vs.(33.7±21.1),Ps＜0.05].Higher scores of rationality dimension of anger trait(OR=3.69,95％CI:1.43-7.98)and re-straint dimension of anger expression(OR=3.25,95％CI:1.39-7.47)were risk factors for violent behaviors.Conclusion:Compared with patients with schizopnrenia without violent behavior,patients with violent behavior history may show more lack of rationality,and poorer anger restraint.
