Vestibular migraine （VM） is the most common cause of recurrent vertigo， and it is an overlapping disease of central vestibular disease and migraine，as well as a syndrome characterized by the simultaneous or alternating occurrence of paroxysmal vestibular symptoms and typical migraine attacks.VM is known as the “chameleon of vestibular system diseases” due to its complex and diverse symptoms， which can easily lead to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. In recent years， with the development of neuroimaging technology and the implementation of multi-center clinical research， the pathogenesis of VM has gradually been expanded from the classic trigeminal neurovascular theory to the aspects of neurotransmitter disorder，cortical diffusion inhibition，and abnormal vestibular-cortical pathway integration. In addition， there have been constant improvements in the diagnosis system of VM，and the treatment modality of VM is gradually shifting to the comprehensive treatment paradigm of “symptomatic treatment in the acute stage combined with preventive treatment in the remission stage and lifestyle adjustment”.This article reviews the latest research advances in this field.

Background The global prevalence of obesity is on the rise and is closely associated with various chronic non-communicable diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. There is a relative lack of long-term dynamic studies on compound obesity among occupational populations. Objective To explore the changing trends of compound obesity among different occupational groups aged 18–59 years in nine provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) of China from 1993 to 2018, and to provide a scientific basis for formulating targeted weight management strategies for occupational populations. Methods A total of 34519 employed adults aged 18–59 years from nine waves of the China Health and Nutrition Survey in1993, 1997, 2000, 2004, 2006, 2009, 2011, 2015, and 2018 were included. Obesity types were determined according to the Chinese Adult Weight Management Guidelines. The Joinpoint regression model was used to calculate the average annual percentage change (AAPC) and annual percentage change (APC) of compound obesity rates. Results From 1993 to 2018, the age-standardized compound obesity rate among the occupational population aged 18–59 years showed an upward trend (AAPC=6.24%, 95%CI: 5.09%, 7.41%, P<0.05). The AAPCs (95%CI) for age-standardized compound obesity rates among agricultural workers, blue-collar workers, other occupational groups, service workers, and white-collar workers were 9.55% (7.51%, 11.64%), 6.18% (4.70%, 7.69%), 5.53% (2.27%, 8.90%), 4.07% (2.40%, 5.77%), and 3.89% (2.16%, 5.65%), respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Among males, the AAPCs (95%CI) for age-standardized compound obesity rates among agricultural workers, blue-collar workers, other occupational groups, service workers, and white-collar workers were 11.52% (7.71%, 15.47%), 7.28% (6.18%, 8.40%), 5.92% (2.28%, 9.69%), 5.56% (2.11%, 9.12%), and 4.22% (2.33%, 6.15%), respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Among females, the AAPCs (95%CI) for age-standardized compound obesity rates among agricultural workers, blue-collar workers, and white-collar workers were 7.45% (6.22%, 8.69%), 3.72% (0.84%, 6.67%), and 2.41% (0.17%, 4.70%), respectively, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). A turning point was observed in the compound obesity rate among female white-collar workers in 2006, with an APC (95%CI) of 9.69% (5.24%, 14.33%) from 2006 to 2008, showing a statistically significant difference (P<0.05), while no significant trend was found from 1993 to 2006 (P>0.05). No significant trends were observed in the age-standardized compound obesity rates among females in other occupational groups and service workers (P>0.05). Conclusion The compound obesity rate among China's occupational population is increasing rapidly, with the growth rate among agricultural workers being particularly prominent. In 2018, male white-collar workers and female agricultural workers exhibit relatively high compound obesity rates, warranting focused attention. Although the overall growth rate among service workers is slower, the expanding workforce in this sector indicates that obesity remains a serious issue. Targeted occupational health and weight management interventions are needed in the future.

To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

ObjectiveTo establish a mouse model of rheumatoid arthritis with interstitial lung disease （RA-ILD） in DBA/1 mice using Porphyromonas gingivalis （Pg） infection combined with collagen-induced arthritis （CIA）， and to comprehensively evaluate pathological characteristics in joints， lungs， and serum. MethodsForty DBA/1 mice were randomly divided into four groups， i.e.， Control， Pg infection （Pg）， CIA， and Pg infection combined with CIA （Pg+CIA）， with 10 mice in each group. Arthritis clinical symptoms were evaluated by recording arthritis incidence and clinical scores. Micro-CT scanning was used to assess knee joint pathology. Histopathological changes and collagen deposition in knee joints and lung tissues were analyzed using hematoxylin-eosin （HE） and Masson staining. Immunohistochemistry was performed to detect protein expression of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA）， typeⅠ collagen （ColⅠ）， and fibronectin （FN） in lung tissues. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR）was used to measure mRNA expression levels of α-SMA， ColⅠ， FN， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， and IL-1β in lung tissues. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect serum levels of Pg， cyclic citrullinated peptide （CCP）， and immunoglobulin G （IgG）. ResultsJoint lesions： The CIA and Pg+CIA groups showed 100% arthritis incidence， with evident joint redness， swelling， and deformity. The number of affected limbs was 27 and 28， and clinical scores were 68 and 70， respectively. No obvious clinical symptoms were observed in the Pg group. Histopathological and imaging analyses showed severe joint lesions in the CIA and Pg+CIA groups， with significantly increased histopathological scores， bone mineral density， bone volume fraction， trabecular thickness， and trabecular number compared to the Control group （P<0.01）. No obvious joint pathology was observed in the Pg group. Lung lesions： The Pg+CIA group exhibited marked alveolar inflammation， interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration， and alveolar wall thickening， with pronounced blue staining of collagen fibers. Histopathological scores and collagen area ratios were significantly higher than those of the Control， Pg， and CIA groups （P<0.05）. Lung protein and mRNA expression levels of α-SMA， ColⅠ， and FN were markedly increased， and mRNA levels of IL-6， TNF-α， and IL-1β were significantly elevated compared to the Control group （P<0.05）. Serology： The Pg+CIA group showed significantly higher levels of CCP， Pg， and IgG compared with the Control， Pg， and CIA groups （P<0.05）. ConclusionDBA/1 mice subjected to Pg infection combined with CIA exhibited pronounced symptoms and pathological features of RA-ILD， along with elevated serum anti-CCP antibody levels. This model represents a novel RA-ILD mouse model， providing a valuable experimental tool for investigating RA-ILD pathogenesis and developing new therapeutics， and serves as a basis for establishing anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody （ACPA）-positive RA-ILD animal models.

This paper introduces the "eight-dimensional materia medica framework" theory proposed by Professor TONG Xiaolin and， in light of his academic perspectives and clinical experience， explores its inheritance and innovation of the concept of "four pillars of medicinals" by ZHANG Jiebin of Ming-dynasty from multiple angles. Building upon the four foundational medicinals， Renshen （Panax ginseng）， Shudihuang （Rehmannia glutinosa Praeparata）， Fuzi （Aconitum carmichaelii Praeparata）， and Dahuang （Rheum palmatum）， as the "four pillars of medicinals"， and using eight-principle pattern differentiation framework， this theory expands the representative medicinals to eight. It establishes the "eight-dimensional materia medica framework"， i.e. exterior-Mahuang （Ephedra sinica）， interior-Rougui （Cinnamomum cassia）， cold-Huanglian （Coptis chinensis）， heat-Ganjiang （Zingiber officinale）， deficiency-Renshen （Panax ginseng）， excess-Dahuang （Rheum palmatum）， yin-Shudihuang （Rehmannia glutinosa Praeparata）， and yang-Fuzi （Aconitum carmichaelii Praeparata）. This framework highlights the pivotal roles of these eight medicinals in the treatment of exterior and interior patterns， cold and heat syndromes， deficiency and excess conditions， as well as yin deficiency and yang deficiency. Integrated with the state-target differentiation and treatment theory， this approach enriches the traditional actions of the eight representative medicinals by incorporating findings from modern pharmacological research， achieving a transition from macroscopic regulation of pathological states to microscopic target-oriented intervention. Furthermore， through investigations into dose-effect relationships and the expansion of principles for herbal compatibility， the clinical practicality of the "eight-dimensional materia medica framework" is further demonstrated， promoting the integrative development of Chinese and western medicine at the level of clinical application of Chinese materia medica.

In February 2025, a local cluster outbreak caused by the D8 genotype Measles virus (MV) was first discovered in Henan Province. Epidemiological investigations and laboratory testing were conducted, including the collection of serum and throat swabs for MV IgM antibody and nucleic acid detection, virus isolation and genetic homology analysis. Measures such as close contact tracing, vaccination rate assessment and supplementary immunization activities were implemented, successfully preventing broader community transmission. A total of three cases were reported during the outbreak, including one imported-related adolescent and two secondary local adult cases. All cases presented with typical symptoms such as fever and rash. Both adult cases were complicated by pneumonia, with one case developing into severe pneumonia. MV genotyping showed that the two secondary cases were both the D8 genotype, with the viral sequences being completely homologous to the Kazakhstan strain. Among the close contacts, 98.2% were adults, and 142 individuals received emergency vaccination.
