Acute lung injury （ALI） is a critical respiratory emergency caused by various non-cardiogenic factors， including severe pulmonary and extrapulmonary infections， lung contusion， and sepsis. Its pathological features are centered on alveolar-capillary barrier dysfunction， uncontrolled inflammatory responses， and impaired alveolar fluid clearance， manifesting as refractory hypoxemia and respiratory distress， with a poor clinical prognosis. Modern studies have revealed that mitochondrial dysfunction and glucose metabolic reprogramming in macrophages， characterized by hyperactivated glycolysis， drive pro-inflammatory polarization and represent a key mechanism leading to excessive inflammatory responses and disease progression in ALI. Therefore， targeting macrophage glycolysis may be a potential therapeutic strategy for ALI. The Plain Questions： Special Discussion on Channels and Vessels in Huangdi's Internal Classic states that "The spleen disseminates essence upward to the lungs". When the spleen fails in transport and transformation， the distribution of refined nutrients becomes disordered， resulting in the endogenous generation of turbid pathogens that obstruct the pulmonary collaterals， causing failure of lung dispersion and descent and leading to dyspneic reversal. This forms the dynamic pathological pattern of ''deficiency in the root with excess in the manifestation''， thereby proposing the core pathogenesis of ALI as ''spleen deficiency with transport dysfunction and turbid pathogens obstructing the lungs''. This process is intrinsically associated with the inflammatory cascade triggered by disordered macrophage glucose metabolism. Taking the theory of ''spleen failing to disperse essence'' as the entry point， the present study systematically elucidates the progressive pathological mechanism of "energy metabolism disorder-cytokine storm'' in ALI from the perspectives of the ''spleen deficiency-turbid obstruction'' pathogenesis and macrophage glycolysis-pro-inflammatory polarization. In addition， we summarize Chinese medicine compound formulas and monomeric components that ''restore spleen transport and eliminate turbid pathogens''， and explore their potential mechanisms in the treatment of ALI by regulating macrophage metabolic phenotypes to improve the state of ''spleen failing to disperse essence''. This provides a molecular basis for elucidating the ''spleen-lung'' energy metabolism dialogue， deepens understanding of the multi-target regulatory mechanisms of herbal prescriptions， and promotes the deep integration of classical theory with modern medicine.

Objective:To evaluate the levels and source of cadmium exposure by dietary pathway among middle-aged and elderly people ≥40 in cadmium-contaminated areas of China.Methods:A total of 7 193 people aged 40-89 years from four typical cadmium-contaminated areas in China were selected as the study subjects. Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), Total Diet Study (TDS) and a 3-day-24-hour dietary recall survey were conducted. Dietary cadmium intake and food sources through dietary pathways were assessed based on cadmium content in foods, consumption amounts and intake frequencies.Results:The mean age of the participants was 63.39±12.21 years, with 50.05% being males. The average monthly dietary cadmium intake was 7.39 μg/(kg·BW). Staple foods and vegetables were the primary sources of dietary cadmium intake, accounting for 57.51% and 32.48%, respectively. The monthly dietary cadmium intake in all surveyed regions did not exceed the Provisional Tolerable Monthly Intake (PTMI) recommended by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA).Conclusion:The monthly dietary cadmium intake among middle-aged and elderly people in cadmium-contaminated areas of China is relatively low, with the risk remaining at an acceptable level. Staple foods and vegetables are the most significant contributors to dietary cadmium intake.

Objective:To analyze the effect of different doses of estrogen on endometrial blood flow after tran-scervical resection of adhesion(TCRA)surgery in patients with intrauterine adhesion(IUA).Methods:A total of 70 moderate and severe IUA patients who underwent TCRA in the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from 2021 to 2023 were divided into group A(4 mg/day)and group B(6 mg/day)according to the dosage of es-trogen after operation.Reexamination of hysteroscopy was performed 2 months later,menstrual volume was fol-lowed up,uterine parameters in secretory phase were detected by B-ultrasound,and factors related to prolifera-tion,fibrosis and blood flow were detected by immunofluorescence after 3 months.Results:① In the severe IUA group,there was no difference in the rate of intrauterine re adhesion between group A2 and group B2.The satis-faction rate of endometrial epithelialization and endometrial glandular duct density in group B2 was higher than that in group A2,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the three indicators within the moderate IUA group(P＞0.05).②Three months after operation,in the severe IUA group,there were statistically significant differences(P＜0.05)in menstrual flow,endometrial thickness ET,endo-metrial volume EV,endometrial blood flow values(VI,FI,VFI),and uterine artery blood flow values(PI,RI)be-tween the two groups;The above indicators showed no statistically significant differences within the moderate IUA group(P＞0.05).③Detection of endometrial markers:the expression of proliferation marker(Ki-67)and angio-genesis marker(CD31,CD34,CD146,b-FGF,VEGF)in group B2 was higher than that in group A2,while the ex-pression of fibrosis marker(α-SMA,TGF-β1)was lower,with statistical significance(P＜0.05).There was no sig-nificant difference in the expression of above indexes between group A,and group B,in moderate IUA group(P＞0.05).Conclusions:Short-term application of relatively high dose estrogen(6 mg/day)after TCRA can pro-mote better endometrial repair by improving endometrial blood flow in patients with severe IUA,while in patients with moderate IUA there is no significant difference in the effect on endometrial repair.

Objective:To investigate the association of urinary cadmium levels with peripheral leukocyte classification counts among middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years in selected areas of China.Methods:The research was based on the survey of the impact of soil quality of agricultural land on human health in typical areas conducted in 2019-2020. A total of 5 600 middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years were included by using a multi-stage stratified random sampling method. Baseline characteristics of the subjects were collected and physical examinations were performed. Random midstream urine was collected to measure urinary cadmium and urinary creatinine and fasting venous blood was collected to measure the leukocyte count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, monocyte count and eosinophil count. The linear mixed effect model was used to analyse the association of urinary cadmium levels with leukocyte classification counts, and the dose-response relationship between them was analyzed by using the restricted cubic spline (RCS) function.Results:The age of the subjects was (63.17±12.02) years; 2 851 (50.91%) were males; and the M ( Q 1, Q 3) of urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels was 2.69 (1.52, 4.69) μg/g·creatinine. After adjusting for confounding factors, the results of linear mixed effects model analysis showed that for each 1-unit increase in urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium level, the percentage change [% (95% CI)] of leukocyte count and lymphocyte count was -1.70% (-2.61%, -0.79%) and -1.57% (-2.86%, -0.26%), respectively. RCS function showed a negative linear relationship between urinary creatinine-corrected urinary cadmium levels and leukocyte counts and lymphocyte counts, respectively (all Pnon-linear>0.05). Conclusion:Urinary cadmium levels are negatively associated with leukocyte count and lymphocyte count among middle-aged and older adults aged 40 to 89 years in selected areas of China.
