The theory of constitution in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has emerged as a new discipline in recent years. Constitution plays a vital role in the onset，progression，transformation，and prognosis of diseases. At present，some clinical scholars have adopted a novel diagnostic and treatment model of "constitution differentiation-disease identification-syndrome differentiation"，in which constitution is regarded as a core element throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Constitution is closely associated with etiology，onset，pathogenesis，syndrome differentiation，and treatment. Against this background，the construction of animal models based on constitution holds far-reaching significance for advancing clinical research. This paper focuses on the construction and evaluation of rodent models with Qi-deficiency constitution，aiming to explore how to further induce Qi-deficiency syndromes and related disease states on the basis of Qi-deficiency constitution models，thereby developing an integrated animal model that embodies the trinity of "constitution-disease-syndrome". The establishment of this model not only provides a solid experimental foundation for the development of new therapies and drugs in TCM targeting specific constitutions，diseases，and syndromes，but also greatly promotes the modernization and scientific advancement of TCM theory. By comprehensively applying multidisciplinary technologies and methods，the study evaluates the model's validity，reliability，and practicality，with the aim of opening new avenues for future research in TCM and promoting the development of the field.

To systematically review randomized controlled trials （RCTs） of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） intervention in ulcerative colitis （UC）， and analyze the characteristics of these studies and their outcome indicators， thereby providing references for the design of future RCTs of TCM intervention in UC and offering evidence supporting the clinical application of TCM in UC. A computerized search was conducted in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， VIP， SinoMed， PubMed， Cochrane Library， EMbase， and Web of Science databases for RCTs of TCM intervention in UC published from January 2021 to August 2024. The risk of bias was assessed， and outcome indicators were qualitatively analyzed. A total of 555 RCTs were included， with a sample size of 44 853 participants. The largest sample size was 218 cases， and the smallest was 28 cases， with most studies focusing on 60-100 participants. Of the 386 RCTs that explicitly reported TCM syndrome types， the top three were large intestine dampness-heat syndrome （31.05%）， spleen and kidney yang deficiency syndrome （12.47%）， and spleen deficiency with dampness syndrome （9.17%）. The interventions， ranked by frequency of use， included internal Chinese medicine compounds/preparations （64.5%）， Chinese medicine compounds/preparations with retained enema （18.2%）， internal Chinese medicine compounds/preparations + external TCM treatment （5.95%）， and external TCM treatment alone （4.86%）. The treatment duration was mainly 4-8 weeks （64.86%）， with 61 studies （10.99%） reporting follow-up time. A total of 157 outcome indicators were used， with a frequency of 3 460 occurrences， classified into six domains： TCM syndromes and symptoms （346 occurrences， 10%）， symptoms/signs （541 occurrences， 15.64%）， physical and chemical examinations （2 119 occurrences， 61.24%）， quality of life （107 occurrences， 3.09%）， long-term prognosis （61 occurrences， 1.76%）， and safety events （284 occurrences， 8.21%）. The analysis reveals several limitations in the outcome indicators of TCM intervention in UC， including the lack of a basis for sample size calculation， non-standardized TCM syndrome classification， absence of trial design and registration， inadequate blinding and allocation concealment， adherence issues with interventions， imbalanced selection of surrogate and endpoint indicators， inconsistency in the timing of outcome measurements， design issues that require standardization， and ethical and safety concerns. It is recommended that future studies actively construct a set of core indicators for UC that include standardized TCM syndrome classification， clear efficacy evaluation indicators， key endpoint indicators， and reasonable measurement time points. Long-term prognostic impacts， comprehensive assessments of patients' quality of life， and consideration of economic benefits should be emphasized， providing a basis for the clinical practice of TCM in the treatment of UC.

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory respiratory disease involving multiple cells and cellular components， characterized by recurrent episodes of wheezing， shortness of breath， chest tightness， and coughing， significantly impacting patients' quality of life. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B（PI3K/Akt） signaling pathway， as a crucial hub in intracellular signaling， is widely involved in the regulation of cell growth， proliferation， survival， metabolism， and a series of pathophysiological processes. Its regulatory role in the pathological progression of asthma is particularly significant， specifically in promoting airway inflammation， mediating epithelial mesenchymal transition， accelerating airway remodeling， regulating cell autophagy， inducing mucus hypersecretion， and influencing immune response balance. This study analyzed potential molecular targets of the PI3K/Akt pathway， including activators such as cysteine proteinase inhibitor 1（CST1）， found in inflammatory zone 1（FIZZ1） and free fatty acid receptor 1（FFAR1）， and inhibitors such as human β-defensin-3（hBD-3）， disintegrins， metalloproteinase 33（ADAM33） and interleukin-27（IL-27）， and initially revealed the potential molecular mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） in asthma intervention. Based on this， the authors systematically summarized the efficacy and specific mechanisms of TCM monomers， compounds， and external treatments for asthma by regulating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway through literature review and analysis， aiming at establishing a robust foundation for the wide application and advanced development of TCM in asthma treatment， offering innovative insights for clinical research and drug development of asthma.

Objective:To explore the effects of ventilator parameters on the compliances of chest and lung,and arterial blood gas indicators of patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)when biphasic positive airway pressure(BiPAP)ventilation treated AECOPD patients at acute exacerbation period.Method:A total of 78 AECOPD patients who underwent non-invasive ventilation treatment by using BiPAP ventilators in Xinjiang Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Hospital from April 2020 to April 2021 were selected.The common range of inspiratory positive airway pressure(IPAP)was 10-25 cmH2O.Based on the specific situation and adjustment of clinical needs of patients,this study set"<15 cmH2O"as the low IPAP group(n=34),and set"≥15 cmH2O"as the high IPAP group(n=44)to analyze the correlation between IPAP of BiPAP ventilator parameters and the therapeutic effects,chest lung compliances and arterial blood gas indicators of patients.Results:The rate of therapeutic effect of patients in the high IPAP group was 93.48%,which was significantly higher than 71.88%of the low IPAP group,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(x2=6.766,P<0.05).Before treatment,there were no statistically significant differences in indicators included chest compliance(CTh),lung compliance(CL)and total compliance(Ct)between the two groups(P>0.05).After treatment,the Ct,CL and CTh of patients in the high IPAP group were significantly higher than those in the low IPAP group,and the differences between the two groups were statistically significant(t=2.508,2.027,2.185,P<0.05),respectively.There was no statistically significant difference in arterial oxygen partial pressure(PaO2)value between the two groups before used mechanical ventilation(P>0.05).The PaO2 values of patients at 2,4,6 and 8h of using mechanical ventilation in the high IPAP group were significantly higher than those in the low IPAP group,and the differences between different groups were statistically significant(t=8.531,5.296,3.264,4.623,P<0.05),respectively.Both two groups of patients showed a significant increase in inflammatory mediators such as matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)and interleukin-8(IL-8)during occurring disease.After treatment,the levels of the two mediators decreased,and the high IPAP group was significantly lower than that of low IPAP group(t=2.251,5.484,P<0.05),respectively.The incidence of abdominal distension in patients of high IPAP group was 20.45%,which was significantly higher than 5.88%of low IPAP group,and the difference between groups was statistically significant(x2=3.623,P<0.05).Conclusion:The IPAP of BiPAP ventilator parameters has effect on chest lung compliance,arterial blood gas analysis and inflammatory indicators in AECOPD patients.High IPAP can improve therapeutic effect,and improve chest lung compliance and arterial blood gas analysis,but can easily cause adverse reactions such as abdominal distension.

Objective To comprehensively analyze the reported preparation methods for animal models of perimenopausal syndrome (PS), to compare the advantages and disadvantages of various preparation elements and detection indexes, so as to provide useful references for the optimization of the relevant animal models as well as the standardization of their application in the efficacy evaluation of new drugs.MethodsIn this paper, literature research methods were applied using "perimenopausal syndrome" as the subject term. The publication period of the literature was limited to January 2016 to February 2023. Relevant literature on the preparation of PS animal models was retrieved from databases such as China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang database, and PubMed. After screening the experimental literature that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, detailed information on experimental animal strains, modeling methods, duration of drug administration, positive drugs, detection indexes and other relevant information were collected. After the above information was standardized, the PS animal model database was established using Excel 2010 software. The model preparation elements and evaluation indexes were summarized systematically, and the statistical results were processed and analyzed using Excel 2010 software.Results A total of 247 articles were screened. SD rats (164 times, 65.86%) and Wistar rats (35 times, 14.06%) were often used to prepare PS animal models. Bilateral ovariectomy (139 times, 53.87%) and natural aging (43 times, 16.80%) were chosen as modeling methods. The ages of rats used for modeling ranged from 7 weeks to 18 months, with 3-month-old rats (22 times, 21.78%) being the most common. The detection indexes were comprehensively evaluated from multiple perspectives, including serum biochemistry, vaginal exfoliated cell smear, histomorphology, general observation, behavioral observation, and organ tissue protein immunoblotting. Western medical evaluation indexes were commonly used to test the successful preparation of models, with vaginal exfoliated cell smears being the most frequently used method (125 times, 85.04%). A model was considered successfully prepared when estrous cycle disorder or irregularity was observed. Some literature also determined modeling success by detecting a significant decrease in serum estradiol levels (5 times, 3.04%). Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome evaluation often used a combination of Chinese and Western medical evaluation indexes for comprehensive evaluation, with researchers determining the TCM syndrome through vaginal exfoliated cell smears supplemented by general observation (3 times, 2.04%).Conclusion There are many methods for preparing PS animal models, but there are still significant differences in the selection of animal species, age, criteria for successful modeling, and TCM syndrome evaluation in the related literature.

Objective:To explore the perioperative safety and postoperative short-and long-term efficacy of stomach-partitioning gastrojejunostomy (SPGJ) with distal selective vagotomy (DSV) for treating benign gastric outlet obstruction (GOO).Methods:The clinical data of 26 benign GOO patients treated by Beijing Friendship Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2019 to July 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 20 males (76.9%) and 6 females (23.1%), aged from 25 to 75 years, with an average age of (55.8±13.6) years, and an average body mass index (BMI) of (20.1±3.4) kg/m 2. There were 12 cases in SPGJ-DSV group and 14 cases in SPGJ group. The main outcome was the gastrointestinal quality of life index (GIQLI) 1 year after surgery in both groups. Independent sample t-test was used to test the difference between the continuous variables with normal distribution. The comparison between groups of non-normal distribution continuous variables was tested by Mann-Whitney U test. Counting data were compared using Chi-square test or Fisher exact test. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of operative time ( P=0.071), intraoperative blood loss ( P=0.422), time to pass gas ( P=0.538), time to liquid intake ( P=0.386), postoperative hospitalization ( P=0.431), complications within 30 days after surgery ( P=0.999), and postoperative GOOSS grade ( P=0.483). Among them, postoperative DGE occurred in one patient in each of the two groups, both of which were grade A. In the follow-up results, compared with the SPGJ group, SPGJ-DSV group had a significant advantage in GIQLI score, and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0.028). The incidence of gastric ulcer, reflux esophagitis, bile reflux and gastritis in SPGJ-DSV group was 8.3%, 8.3%, 8.3% and 58.3%, while that in SPGJ group was 35.7%, 21.4%, 21.4% and 57.1%, respectively, but there was no statistical significance between groups. Conclusion:In the treatment of benign GOO patients, SPGJ with DSV did not significantly increase the difficulty of laparoscopic procedures, operative time and intraoperative blood loss. Moreover, it showed a significant advantage in gastrointestinal quality of life 1 year after surgery. In addition, the incidence rates of gastric ulcers and reflux esophagitis were lower in the SPGJ-DSV group 1 year after surgery, but further confirmation is needed in large sample studies.

Objective To investigate the key elements for model establishment and determine the evaluation indicators of animal models for pelvic inflammatory disease(PID),providing a reference for improving modelling methods and optimizing the application of PID animal models.Methods The search query"Pelvic Inflammatory Disease"AND"Animal Model"OR"Rat"OR"Mouse"OR"Guinea Pig"OR"Rabbit"OR"Dog"OR"Pig"was used to retrieve relevant literature on PID animal models published from 2013 to 2023 in China Knowledge Network Infrastructure(CNKI),Wanfang,and PubMed databases.The studies were analyzed and categorized based on experimental animal types,modelling methods,modelling cycles,detection indicators,positive control drugs,and administration duration.A database was established for statistical analysis.Results A total of 214 research articles on PID animal models meeting the inclusion criteria were identified.The most commonly used model animals are Sprague Dawley(SD)rats,followed by Wistar rats.The most frequently employed modelling method is a combination of mechanical injury and bacterial infection,followed by the phenol mucilage method.The most common modelling cycles for acute pelvic inflammatory disease(APID)and chronic pelvic inflammatory disease(CPID)/sequelae of pelvic inflammatory disease(SPID)are 8 to 14 days,while for PID models without specific staging,the cycles are 7 days.High-frequency detection methods and indicators include histopathological observation using hematoxylin-eosin staining,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)for serum-related indicators,morphological changes of tissues observed with the naked eye,and immunohistochemical detection of related protein expression in uterine tissues,and pathological scoring.The most frequently used positive control drugs are Fuke Qianjin Tablets,followed by Jingangteng Capsules.The most common administration duration for APID is 7 days,and for CPID/SPID models,it ranges from 15 to 21 days.Conclusion Currently,SD rats and Wistar rats are commonly used as experimental animals for PID models.The dual modelling method of mechanical injury combined with mixed bacterial infection aligns closely with clinical pathogenesis and can be used to establish a PID model that simulates postoperative uterine cavity infection.Depending on the research objectives,different positive drugs and detection indicators should be selected for comprehensive evaluation.Most existing PID animal model studies are based on western medical diagnosis,with fewer studies focusing on Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)syndromes.There is a need to integrate TCM theories of etiology and pathogenesis to construct PID animal models that are more in line with TCM clinical symptoms.
