This paper comprehensively discusses on the potential neurobiological mechanisms of acupuncture in the treatment of tobacco dependence, focusing on three important aspects, including acupuncture's regulation of tobacco dependence behavior, effects of acupuncture on withdrawal syndrome, and the role of acupuncture in preventing relapse. It is found that acupuncture can inhibit drug-seeking behavior by regulating the reward pathway and related neurons, such as dopamine, thus modulating tobacco dependence behavior. It also alleviates withdrawal symptoms by improving the oral environment of smokers and reducing negative emotions after quitting. Furthermore, acupuncture can prevent relapse by decreasing brain network activity related to smoking cravings and improving cognitive brain functions like addiction memory. Currently, research on the specific neurobiological mechanism of acupuncture in treating tobacco dependence and the involved neural circuits is limited. Future research directions are proposed, including the evaluation of clinical effects, exploration of specific therapeutic mechanisms, investigation of brain pathology, and strengthening the exploration of brain functions. Additionally, combining modern technologies to clarify the neural circuits involved in acupuncture intervention will provide a basis for acupuncture treatment of tobacco addiction.

This paper explores the possibility of improving syndrome differentiation system of weifen,qifen,yingfen and xuefen.Clinical manifestations of xuefen syndrome in warm diseases are diverse with complex pathogenesis.Based on the previous re-search of the research group and the theories of essence and marrow,combined with characteristics of bleeding,organ failure,abnormal consciousness,and spasms in the extreme and late stages of warm diseases,it is suggested that the traditional xuefen syndrome should be further subdivided into xuefen syndrome mainly characterized by disorders in blood generation,circulation,and function,jingfen syndrome mainly characterized by organ failure,and suifen syndrome mainly characterized by symptoms of consciousness and nervous system abnormalities.Adopting six stage differentiation and treatment of weifen,qifen,yingfen,xuefen,jingfen and suifen not only ex-pands the progressive pattern of warm disease pathogenesis,deepens the understanding of the pathogenesis essence of each stage in warm diseases,especially the extreme and late stages,promotes the precision of treatment guides and prescriptions,but also helps us understand the common transformation and evolution laws of external and internal diseases,and thus improves the diagnosis and treat-ment effectiveness.

AIM:To investigate the impact of Kir2.1 channels on abnormal spontaneous pacemaker activities induced by hypokalemia and to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.METHODS:Human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes(hiPSC-CMs)were transfected with lentiviral particles containing sequences for human Kir2.1,the Kir2.1-E224G mutant,or Kir4.1.Patch clamp techniques were employed to examine the effects of low extracellular potassium concentration([K+]e)of 1 mmol/L on the resting membrane potentials and whole-cell currents of the cells in each group,assessed via both current and voltage clamp modes.RESULTS:Under conditions of 1 mmol/L[K+]e,cur-rent clamp data revealed that hiPSC-CMs overexpressing Kir2.1 channels exhibited both hyperpolarized and depolarized resting membrane potentials,with the depolarized state triggering abnormal pacemaker activities.In contrast,cells overex-pressing the Kir2.1-E224G mutant or Kir4.1 channels displayed only hyperpolarized resting membrane potentials.Voltage clamp analysis indicated that hiPSC-CMs overexpressing Kir2.1 channels produced"N"-shaped whole-cell currents,whereas cells expressing the Kir2.1-E224G mutant or Kir4.1 exhibited typical K+currents.CONCLUSION:Kir2.1 channels play a crucial role in mediating hypokalemia-induced abnormal spontaneous pacemaker activities in human car-diomyocytes through their inward rectification properties.

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy that poses significant treatment challenges due to its heterogeneity and propensity for relapse and progression. In the last two decades, the therapeutic landscape of MM has changed dramatically, but the disease remains largely incurable, with many patients facing treatment resistance. This review evaluates the current status of MM treatments, emphasizing the limitations of traditional therapies and the emerging role of immunotherapy in improving patient outcomes. It highlights the importance of achieving and maintaining minimal residual disease negativity and a balanced immune response as key treatment goals. Furthermore, it discusses the advancements in immunotherapies that are improving the prospects for patients, particularly those with relapsed or refractory disease. Innovative strategies, such as chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, bispecific antibodies, and bispecific T cell engagers, have shown significant promise by targeting the malignant cells and the bone marrow microenvironment, which are essential for disease persistence and resistance to therapy. Future research should focus on refining MM treatment strategies, including the integration of immunotherapy into earlier treatment lines and the development of predictive biomarkers for personalized treatment approaches, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.
