Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a congenital heart disease characterized by mitral and(or)aortic valve stenosis or atresia,leading to the hypoplasia of the left ventricle,ascending aorta and aortic arch.If not treated in time,most children die within a few weeks after birth.Congenital complete atrioventricular block is a rare congenital cardiac conduction disorder.When combined with severe cardiac malformations,the mortality rate is extremely high.In this case,a 26-year-old pregnant woman with a history of 3 pregnancies and 1 delivery,had a natural conception with monochorionic diamniotic twins. At 22 +5 weeks of gestation,it was first found that one of the twins had hypoplastic left heart syndrome with congenital complete atrioventricular block through fetal echocardiography detection.This situation was extremely rare,and there was a lack of clinical guidelines on how to manage the pregnancy and determine the time of delivery time.In this case,prenatal ultrasound was used to monitor and comprehensively evaluate fetal cardiac function through the cerebroplacental ratio(CPR)combined with the cardiovascular overall performance score(CVPS).Pregnancy safety management was implemented,and a cesarean section was performed at an elective time.Another healthy fetus did not suffer any adverse effects. This case provides strong evidence for ensuring the safety of healthy fetus and mother in perinatal period.It is also confirmed that CPR and CVPS combined evaluation of fetal cardiac function and pregnancy outcome will be more accurate and comprehensive.This method is simple,accurate,non-invasive,and can be used as an effective method for clinical evaluation of fetal cardiac function.

The scientific interpretation of the theory of medicinal properties of TCM is a research hotspot in the modernization of TCM. It is of great value to clarify the property and degree of cold and heat in Chinese materia medica for guiding clinical precise medication. In recent years, the research on the cold and heat properties of Chinese materia medica has been carried out at the animal, cell and molecular levels. Based on the objective material basis of medicinal properties, from the perspective of biological effects such as thermodynamics and multiomics; with the help of infrared thermal imaging and other technologies for analysis; forming a variety of research models such as "property-structure relationship". Related research has developed from a single material component or index to a new model that tends to integrate multi-source information and multi-dimensional data. However, how to deal with the problems of large sample size, strong redundancy, high heterogeneity, and how to integrate multi-dimensional information are still research difficulties. With its powerful computing and learning ability, machine learning can show good discrimination and prediction ability in the study of cold and hot properties of Chinese materia medica, and play an important role in the study of cold and hot properties of Chinese materia medica. At present, the most widely used algorithms are linear discriminant analysis, Logistic discriminant analysis, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest and so on. The data dimension of the existing research needs to be enriched, the algorithm has room for further optimization, and a more detailed discriminant model of cold and hot properties of Chinese materia medica needs to be established.

Objective:
To observe the effects of Danggui Shaoyao powder (DSP) on hepatic lipid metabolism and further explore its mechanism of action by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPARγ)-liver X receptor (LXRα)-adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) pathway regulation.
Methods:
Eight C57BL/6J male mice were selected as the control group, and 24 ApoE−/− male mice were randomly divided into the atherosclerosis model (AS) group, atorvastatin calcium (AC) group, and DSP group (n = 8 each group). To establish an AS model, ApoE−/− mice were fed a high-fat diet for 16 weeks. Pathologic changes in the aortic vasculature and liver were identified using Oil Red O staining. Triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels were determined in the livers using a single-reagent GPO-PAP method. Fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blot were used to observe and evaluate the mRNA and protein expression of the PPARγ-LXRα-ABCA1 intermediates in the liver.
Results:
After 16 weeks of a high-fat diet, ApoE−/− mice showed more Oil Red O staining in the aorta and liver compared to the CONT group. Compared to the AS group, the DSP and AC treatment reduced aortic plaque and hepatic lipid deposition to varying degrees. Furthermore, DSP significantly reduced the hepatic lipid area in ApoE−/− mice (P < .001) and decreased the levels of TG, TC, and LDL-C in liver (P < .001, P = .027, P < .001, respectively). DSP also significantly increased the levels of PPARγ, LXRα, ABCA1, and ABCG1 mRNA expression, as well as the PPARγ, LXRα, ABCA1, and ABCG1 protein expression in liver.
Conclusion
DSP improved hepatic lipid metabolism via PPARγ-LXRα-ABCA1 pathway modulation for AS treatment.

Humans are born under the nourishment of heaven and earth qi.The physiological and pathological functions of the human body are influenced by the alternation of cold and heat in the four seasons.Allergic diseases often occur or worsen during seasonal transitions,corresponding to the theory of the spleen dominating the end of the four seasons in traditional Chinese medicine.Splenic dysfunction disrupts the body's internal clock during seasonal transitions,making it unable to adapt to external climate changes,causing the onset or exacerbation of specific allergic symptoms.The theory of"the spleen serves as the guard"originated from Huangdi Neijing,which is a succinct summary of the role of the spleen in defending the body against external pathogens.The theory emphasizes that the spleen transports drinks and foods internally to supplement healthy qi,and regulates defensive qi externally to protect the whole body.This theory is closely linked to the seasonal changes in immune function,thereby influencing the seasonal onset of allergic diseases.This paper explores the roles of the spleen in time-based self-regulation and immune defense against seasonal allergic diseases according to the theory of"spleen serves as the grard."The dysfunction of this protective mechanism,which leads to disharmony in nutritive qi and defensive qi,internal production of phlegm-dampness,and zang-fu organs malnutrition,are the key factors causing recurrent and persistent allergic diseases during seasonal transitions.This study provides insights for elucidating the mechanisms behind seasonal allergic disease outbreaks and their prevention.
