Based on the thinking of programmatization and proceduralization， this study integrated traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） classic theories with modern knowledge expression technologies to construct a "formula-symptom" syndrome differentiation thinking model centered on "symptom clustering-main syndrome screening-formula adaptation"， and explored the standardization and intelligentization path of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. By establishing the mapping relationship model between formulas and syndromes including quantitative weight analysis of chief， deputy， assistant and envoy medicines， designing the logical hierarchical structure of formula-syndrome decision tree （application of three-level decision tree and fuzzy logic）， and formulating the procedural design of four diagnostic methods （structured collection， correlation model， and dynamic correction mechanism）， the standardization and visualization of the syndrome differentiation process are realized. This model can be transformed into the core data set for artificial intelligence training. Through ternary knowledge graph and machine learning algorithms， it can improve the repeatability of syndrome differentiation and the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment， and implement the strategy of "group model + individual modification" to balance the conflict between quantification and individualization. The core value of this model lies in promoting the objectification and precision development of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment through the integration of traditional syndrome differentiation thinking and modern system science.

Objective: To explore the types and levels of exosomes in cryoprecipitate from donors of different blood types, genders, and age groups, and to preliminarily characterize their specific proteins. Methods: Exosomes were extracted from cryoprecipitate using the polymer precipitation method. The exosomes were identified by particle size analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and Western blot. Finally, the specific proteins CD63, CD81, CD9, Cytochrome C, Syntenin-1, and VLA-4 of exosomes were characterized using Luminex. Results: The purified exosomes exhibited a double-membrane vesicle structure under microscopy, appearing saucer-shaped or as hemispheres with a concave side. They specifically expressed the CD63 and TSG101 proteins, while the endoplasmic reticulum protein Calnexin was not expressed. The particle sizes(nm) of exosomes from blood types A, B, O, and AB were 119.6±47.5, 120.5±47.4, 133.3±54.1 and 103.1±35.3, respectively. Taking the exosomal specific protein CD63 as an example, its expression levels(pg/mL) in cryoprecipitate from female and male donors were 128.22±63.52 and 117.39±40.84, respectively; the expression(pg/mL) levels in the 20-40 and 40-60 age groups were 114.20±37.28 and 131.41±64.98, respectively; and the expression levels(pg/mL) in the four blood types A, B, O, and AB were 109.58±37.79, 127.45±44.46, 131.89±40.59, and 122.29±78.68, respectively. The expression levels of CD63 in exosomes from different blood types, genders, and age groups were similar, with no statistically significant differences (all P>0.05). The distribution of the other five exosomal-specific proteins was also comparable among the normal blood donors. Conclusion: The expression levels of exosomal-specific proteins in cryoprecipitate from normal blood donors are not associated with blood type, gender, and age group.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanisms by which spleen deficiency affects lipid metabolism in hyperlipidemia， from the perspective of gut microbiota and fecal endogenous metabolites. MethodsEighteen Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into control group， hyperlipidemia group， and spleen-deficiency with hyperlipidemia group， with 6 rats in each group. The control group was fed with standard diet； the hyperlipi-demia group was given high-fat diet to induce hyperlipidemia model； and the spleen-deficiency with hyperlipidemia group received combination of high-fat diet， irregular feeding， and exercise restriction to induce the model. After 12 weeks of modeling， serum lipid levels including total cholesterol （TC）， triglycerides （TG）， low-density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）， and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） were measured. 16S rRNA gene sequencing was used to analyze gut microbiota composition in fecal samples， and fecal metabolites were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry （HPLC-MS）. Differential metabolites and microbial taxa were screened for pathway enrichment and functional prediction analysis， followed by correlation analysis. ResultsCompared with the control group， rats in the hyperlipidemia and spleen-deficiency with hyperlipidemia groups showed significantly increased serum TG， TC， and LDL-C levels， and decreased HDL-C levels （P＜0.01）. Compared with the hyperlipidemia group， the spleen-deficiency with hyperlipidemia group showed further increases in TG， TC， and LDL-C and further decrease in HDL-C （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Gut microbiota analysis revealed 3,066 unique species in the control group， 2,637 in the hyperlipidemia group， and 1,581 in the spleen-deficiency group. Chao1， Simpson， and Shannon indices were significantly reduced in the spleen-deficiency group compared with the hyperli-pidemia group， with an increased Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes ratio. Differentially abundant genera such as Romboutsia， Lactobacillus， Clostridium， Allobaculum， and Xylanibacter were significantly upregulated （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Metabolomics identified 25 differential metabolites in feces of spleen-deficient rats， with 18 downregulated and 7 upregulated. Key enriched pathways included serotonergic synapse， nucleotide metabolism， vascular smooth muscle contraction， and arachidonic acid metabolism. Spearman correlation analysis showed significant positive correlations between Romboutsia and Desulfovibrio and metabolites such as digalactosyldiacylglycerol （48∶5）， dehydrated artemetin， lysophosphatidylcholine （26∶4）， and glucuronosyldiacylglycerol （46∶5）； Clostridium was positively correlated with cyclopassifloric acid E1， digalactosyldiacylglycerol （48∶5）， and lysophosphatidylcholine （26∶4）； Xylanibacter was positively correlated with digalactosyldiacylglycerol （48∶5）， dehydrated artemetin， and lysophosphatidylcholine （26∶4）. ConclusionSpleen deficiency can further alter gut microbiota composition in hyperlipi-demia model rats， leading to microbial dysbiosis and metabolic disturbances that aggravate lipid metabolism disorders. This mechanism may be associated with changes in pathways such as serotonergic synapse， nucleotide metabolism， vascular smooth muscle contraction， and arachidonic acid metabolism.

AIM: To explore the effects of preoperative anterior segment parameters on the rotational stability of Toric intraocular lens(Toric IOL).METHODS:Prospective study. A total of 41 cataract patients(54 eyes)with combined corneal regular astigmatism from March to December 2023 were included and treated with cataract phacoemulsification combined with plate loop Toric IOL implantation in the Department of Ophthalmology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. The rotation degree of Toric IOL and uncorrected distance visual acuity(UCDVA)were evaluated at 1 d, 2 wk, and 1 mo postoperatively, the corrected distance visual acuity(CDVA)was evaluated at 2 wk and 1 mo after surgery, and the decentration and tilt of the Toric IOL were assessed at 2 wk postoperatively.RESULTS:A total of 33 patients(40 eyes)were included in this study. The UCDVA(LogMAR)of 1 d, 2 wk and 1 mo postoperatively were 0.10(0.10, 0.30), 0.05(0, 0.10)and 0(0, 0.10), respectively, which was improved compared with the preoperative levels of [0.80(0.49, 1.00)](P<0.001). The CDVA(LogMAR)of 2 wk and 1 mo postoperatively were 0.05(0, 0.15)and 0(0, 0.138), respectively, which was improved compared with preoperative levels of [0.52(0.40, 0.80)](P<0.001). The residual astigmatism of 2 wk and 1 mo postoperatively were 0.625(0.25, 0.75)D and 0.50(0.25, 0.75)D, respectively, which was significantly reduced compared with preoperative astigmatism of [1.82(1.31, 2.59)D](P<0.001). The preoperative anterior segment length(ASL), and lens thickness(LT)were positively correlated with Toric IOL rotation degree at 1 d(rs=0.463, P=0.003; rs=0.340, P=0.032)and 2 wk(rs=0.520, P=0.001; rs=0.409, P=0.009)postoperatively. At 1 mo postoperatively, only ASL was positively correlated with Toric IOL rotation degree(rs=0.463, P=0.003). The results of linear regression analysis showed that preoperative ASL was a predictor of rotation degree at 1 d, 2 wk and 1 mo after surgery(F1 d=10.098, P1 d=0.003; F2 wk=16.915, P2 wk<0.001; F1 mo=10.957, P1 mo=0.002). The rotation degree of Toric IOL was positively correlated with lens decentration(rs=0.360, P=0.043).CONCLUSION:The early postoperative rotation of Toric IOL is positively correlated with ASL, and the rotation is also positively correlated with lens decentration.

Objective To integrate the Timing It Right(TIR)framework with Phase Ⅰ Cardiac Rehabilitation(CR)strategies to develop a staged,individualized rehabilitation protocol for patients after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement(TAVR)and verify its clinical effectiveness.Methods A quasi-experimental study design was employed.A total of 128 TAVR patients admitted to Kunming Yan'an Hospital between January 2023 and December 2024 were selected as participants and randomly assigned via a random number table to either an intervention group(n=64)or a control group(n=64).The control group received routine care,while the intervention group received TIR theory-based Phase Ⅰ cardiac rehabilitation nursing care in addition to routine care.This intervention was implemented across three stages:diagnostic,perioperative,and discharge preparation period.Comparisons were made between the two groups regarding Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction(LVEF),the 6-Minute Walk Test(6MWT)distance,the incidence of Major Adverse Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events(MACCE),scores across all domains of the China Questionnaire of Quality of Life in patients with Cardiovascular Diseases(CQQC),and patient satisfaction before and after the intervention.Results After the intervention,the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher LVEF and 6MWT results at both discharge and 3 months postoperatively compared to the control group(P<0.05).The incidence of MACCE was significantly lower in the intervention group(4.84％)than in the control group(13.33％).Scores across all CQQC domains and patient satisfaction were significantly superior in the intervention group than in the control group(P<0.05).Furthermore,The length of ICU stay and total hospitalization duration were significantly shorter in the intervention group compared to the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Phase I cardiac rehabilitation nursing care based on the Timing It Right theory effectively improves cardiac function and exercise tolerance in TAVR patients,reduces the risk of MACCE.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of internal mammary perforator (IMP) as recipient vessels in immediate breast reconstruction using deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap.Methods:The clinical data of 10 patients with early breast cancer who underwent DIEP for immediate breast reconstruction using IMP as the recipient vessels from January 2022 to December 2023 were analyzed. The number, position, and diameter of IMP, diameter of DIEP, the size of the flap, the operation time, surgical complications, cosmetic effect of breast, and patients' satisfaction were summarized and analyzed.Results:The number of IMPs was 2-3, and they were distributed in the second to the fourth ribs. The diameter of the IMP artery was (1.15±0.22) mm, and the diameter of the vein was (1.35±0.19) mm. The diameter of the DIEP was (1.55±0.28) mm, and that of its accompanying vein was (1.50±0.23) mm. The sizes of the flaps ranged from 10.0 cm×8.0 cm×3.0 cm to 12.0 cm×22.0 cm×4.0 cm, with an average of 20.5 cm×11.2 cm×2.8 cm. The weight of the flap was (389.1±51.5) g. The operation time was (574.8±68.1) min. All 10 cases of flaps survived. The reconstructed breasts were natural, soft, and symmetrical to the healthy side breasts. There was no obvious operative complication. The average BREAST-Q score of the patients was 93.5. No recurrence or metastasis was found during follow-up.Conclusions:Although technically difficult, using IMP as recipient vessels in DIEP flats for immediate breast reconstruction results in a low complication rate of the injuries in the internal mammary region. Under the premise of strictly adhering to the surgical indications, satisfactory results can be achieved, and it is safe and reliable.

Objective:To investigate the impact of the number of examined lymph nodes (ELN) on survival outcomes in gastric cancer patients with postoperative pathological stage pN3b.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 279 pN3b gastric cancer patients who underwent D2 gastrectomy at Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University (September 2008 to April 2023), with 35 patients receiving combination chemotherapy and anti-PD-1 therapy (immunotherapy group) and 244 receiving adjuvant chemotherapy alone (nonimmunotherapy group). Additionally, 422 patients with pN3b from the SEER database (2005 to 2020) were collected as an external validation cohort to determine the optimal cutoff value for the number of lymph nodes examined in the nonimmunotherapy group. The primary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in the nonimmunotherapy group of the Nanfang Hospital cohort, stratified by whether the number of examined lymph nodes was above or below the ELN optimal cutoff value. These findings were subsequently validated in the SEER cohort.Results:The optimal ELN cutoff value (34 nodes) was determined using X-tile software and by constructing an ELN-HR fitting model with inflection point identification. In the nonimmunotherapy group, patients with ELN >34 exhibited significantly prolonged survival compared to ELN ≤34 (median OS: 25.0 (95%CI:20.5-29.5) to 17.0 (95%CI:12.7-21.3) months, P=0.004; median RFS: 19.0 (95%CI:15.6-22.4) to 13.0 (95%CI:9.5-16.5) months, P=0.048). Multivariate Cox analysis also showed ELN >34 to be an independent protective factor for both OS (HR=0.576, 95%CI: 0.397-0.836) and RFS (HR=0.701, 95%CI: 0.492-0.998). In the SEER cohort, ELN >34 was associated with a 5-month OS extension (19 to 14 months, P=0.065), with multivariate analysis supporting its independent prognostic significance (HR=0.729, 95%CI: 0.580-0.915, P=0.006). Notably, in the immunotherapy group, patients with ELN >34 ( n=30) achieved a median OS of 41 months, but the median OS had not been reached in the ELN ≤34 group ( n=5) (1 death at 48 months). Conclusion:Higher ELN (>34) correlates with improved survival in nonimmunotherapy-treated pN3b gastric cancer patients. However, in pN3b gastric cancer patients treated with immunotherapy, the optimal ELN threshold requires further exploration to determine.

Objective To analyze the research hotspots and development trends regarding the effect of proprioceptive training in the rehabilitation of anterior cruciate ligament(ACL)injury.Methods Relevant literatures on the effect of proprioceptive training on ACL injury rehabilitation were retrieved in the Web of Science Core Collection database from 2015 to 2024,and were analyzed with CiteSpace 6.2 R4.Results A total of 108 articles were included,with a fluctuating trend in publication volume,and the number of publica-tions peaked in 2021.The United States and China published the most articles.High-frequency keywords includ-ed posture balance,neuromuscular control,joint position sense,muscle strength and gait analysis.The most cen-tral keyword was posture stability.The research focused on improving the postoperative rehabilitation outcomes and efficiency of ACL injury,with particular emphasis on returning to play,posture stability,strength training and knee joint function.Conclusion Proprioceptive training can enhance proprioception and motor control of patients with ACL injury and im-prove rehabilitation outcomes by strengthening rehabilitation techniques and optimizing treatment approaches.Future research should continue to focus on the diversification of proprioceptive training,the individulization of rehabilitation plans and the application of new technologies.

Although a single nucleotide polymorphism for N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) has been identified in patients with early-onset stroke, the role of NAT10 in ischemic injury and the related underlying mechanisms remains elusive. Here, we provide evidence that NAT10, the only known RNA N4-acetylcytidine (ac4C) modification "writer", is increased in the damaged cortex of patients with acute ischemic stroke and the peri-infarct cortex of mice subjected to photothrombotic (PT) stroke. Pharmacological inhibition of NAT10 with remodelin on Days 3-7 post-stroke or astrocytic depletion of NAT10 via targeted virus attenuates ischemia-induced infarction and improves functional recovery in PT mice. Mechanistically, NAT10 enhances ac4C acetylation of the inflammatory cytokine tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase 1 (Timp1) mRNA transcript, which increases TIMP1 expression and results in the accumulation of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 (LC3) and progression of astrocyte autophagy. These findings demonstrate that NAT10 regulates astrocyte autophagy by targeting Timp1 ac4C after stroke. This study highlights the critical role of ac4C in the regulation of astrocyte autophagy and proposes a promising strategy to improve post-stroke outcomes via NAT10 inhibition.

Mitochondria play a crucial role as organelles, managing several physiological processes such as redox balance, cell metabolism, and energy synthesis. Initially, the assumption was that mitochondria primarily resided in the host cells and could exclusively transmit from oocytes to offspring by a mechanism known as vertical inheritance of mitochondria. Recent scholarly works, however, suggest that certain cell types transmit their mitochondria to other developmental cell types via a mechanism referred to as intercellular or horizontal mitochondrial transfer. This review details the process of which mitochondria are transferred across cells and explains the impact of mitochondrial transfer between cells on the efficacy and functionality of cancer cells in various cancer forms. Specifically, we review the role of mitochondria transfer in regulating cellular metabolism restoration, excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, proliferation, invasion, metastasis, mitophagy activation, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) inheritance, immune system modulation and therapeutic resistance in cancer. Additionally, we highlight the possibility of using intercellular mitochondria transfer as a therapeutic approach to treat cancer and enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments.
