This paper summarizes professor LI Guolie's clinical experience in treating orthostatic hypotension （OH） based on the theory of "raising the clear and directing the turbid downward". It is considered that the core pathogenesis of OH lies in the body's transition from a supine to an upright position， during which dysfunction of the middle jiao （焦） transformation and transportation， along with impaired pivot function， hinders the ascending of clear yang and the descending of turbid yin. Treatment should follow the general principle of "ascending the clear and directing the turbid downward"， placing emphasis on distinguishing the primary and secondary aspects. For cases where the clear yang fails to ascend， the self-formulated Li's Shengqing Jiangzhuo Decoction （李氏升清降浊汤）is used to supplement qi， raise the clear， and strengthen the middle jiao. For cases where the turbid yin fails to descend， the self-formulated Wuxiang Qingzhuo Beverage（五香清浊饮）with modifications is applied to resolve phlegm， eliminate stasis， harmonize the middle， and descend the turbid.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism of Sangpi Zhike prescription in treating cough after respiratory syncytial virus （RSV） infection through the "lung-intestine co-treatment" approach using network pharmacology and animal experimental validation. MethodsActive ingredients and targets of Sangpi Zhike prescription were retrieved from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology （TCMSP） database. Disease targets were obtained from GeneCards and Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man（OMIM） databases. Protein-protein interaction （PPI） networks and drug-component-target networks were constructed using overlapping targets between drugs and diseases to identify core targets. Gene ontology（GO） and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analyses were performed on the overlapping targets. Sixty mouse models were established： 10 as the normal group， and the remaining mice were infected with RSV via slow nasal drip of RSV suspension， with cough induced using capsaicin solution. After modeling， mice were divided into a model group， a Montelukast Sodium group （1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and low， medium， and high dose groups of Sangpi Zhike prescription （4.875，9.75，and 19.5 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 10 mice per group. From day 14 after RSV infection， the normal and model groups received saline via gavage， while other groups received corresponding drug treatments once daily for 5 d. Hematoxylin-eosin（HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in lung and intestinal tissue. The protein content of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 （ERK1/2） and phosphorylated （p）-ERK1/2 in the lung and colon tissue of mice was detected by Western blot. Real-time polymerase chain reaction（Real-time PCR） detected ERK1/2 mRNA expression in lung and intestinal tissue. Immunohistochemistry assessed p-MEK1/2， p-ERK1/2， p-c-Fos protein levels， and inflammatory cytokines interleukin（IL）-4 and （TNF）-α in lung and colon tissue. ResultsNetwork pharmacology identified 184 active ingredients and 684 targets in Sangpi Zhike prescription， with 1 344 RSV-related disease targets and 209 overlapping targets. Core targets included TNF， Fos， and Jun. KEGG enrichment revealed 179 pathways， primarily mitogen-activated protein kinase（MAPK）， cancer， TNF， and IL-17 signaling pathways. Animal experiments showed that， compared to those of the normal group， the lung tissue sections of the model group showed typical inflammatory damage， infiltration of inflammatory cells， rupture of alveolar septa， extensive alveolar fusion， and disruption of tight junctions between single-layer columnar epithelial cells in the intestinal tissue. The values of p-ERK1/2 and ERK1/2 in lung and intestinal tissue were significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the expression level of ERK1/2 mRNA was significantly elevated （P<0.01）. The levels of ERK1/2， p-MEK1/2， p-ERK1/2， p-c-Fos， IL-4， and TNF-α along the ERK pathway were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， Sangpi Zhike prescription groups showed reduced lung and intestinal inflammation， decreased p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2 ratios （P<0.05，P<0.01）， lower ERK1/2 mRNA levels， and downregulated ERK pathway proteins （P<0.05，P<0.01）. ConclusionSangpi Zhike prescription alleviates cough and intestinal symptoms after RSV infection via the "lung-intestine co-treatment" mechanism by suppressing expression levels of ERK1/2， p-MEK1/2， p-ERK1/2， p-c-Fos， IL-4， and TNF-α on ERK pathway components， thereby mitigating lung and intestinal pathological damage.

OBJECTIVE To upgrade the drug traceability code management system for a pediatric hospital under the “payment by code” background， aiming to comprehensively enhance traceability integrity， efficiency， and compliance. METHODS Taking Xiamen Children’s Hospital as the implementation setting， a before-and-after control design was adopted to construct an intelligent drug traceability code management system through systematic upgrades involving the technology platform， core mechanisms， and coordination with medical insurance. Key interventions included： upgrading a traceability code management platform and designing a dynamic code pool； innovating differentiated traceability mechanisms for routine， split-dose， and special drugs； establishing a tiered early-warning and emergency response system； and constructing a data coordination and quality control system. The drug traceability code upload rate served as the primary outcome. Process indicators such as the root causes distribution of failed uploads and the duration of medication returns， and a comprehensive outcome （the number of insurance-flagged abnormal prescriptions） were also analyzed. The data between the baseline period （April 2025） and the observation period （June-August 2025） were compared and evaluated. RESULTS After the upgrade， the overall upload rate of drug traceability codes increased from 9.21% （baseline） to 99.86% （August 2025）. The upload rate of traceability codes in previously unmanaged areas， such as the inpatient pharmacy and pharmacy intravenous admixture services， soared from 0 to nearly 100%. The proportion of non-uploads due to system issues fell from 66.44% （June 2025） to 2.62% （August Additionally， the number of insurance-flagged） abnormal prescriptions dropped sharply from 2 275.00 in the first “payment by code” policy month （July 2025） to 212.00 by the end of the observation period （August 2025）， a 90.70% decrease. CONCLUSIONS The developed management system effectively addresses complex scenario challenges such as high-frequency drug splitting. It significantly enhances traceability code upload performance and ensures a high degree of compliance with medical insurance data requirements. These outcomes contribute to proactive risk mitigation against insurance claim denials and demonstrate a concurrent optimization of pharmacy operations.

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality, characterized by poor prognosis due to its high proliferative and invasive potential. Tumor metabolic reprogramming, particularly involving glucose metabolism, is essential for tumor survival. This study investigates the role of the Hippo pathway effector transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in regulating gluconeogenesis and promoting tumorigenesis in HCC. Methods: TAZ expression in HCC was analyzed using The Cancer Genome Atlas data and validated in clinical samples and cell lines. TAZ was overexpressed or silenced in HCC cell lines to evaluate its effects on cell proliferation, apoptosis, migration, and invasion. The expression and prognostic relevance of the gluconeogenesis-related genes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 1 (PCK1) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC) were examined, along with their correlation with TAZ expression. Tumor growth was assessed in nude mice. Interactions between TAZ and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) were investigated using co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Results: TAZ was significantly upregulated in HCC tissues and cell lines. TAZ overexpression enhanced proliferation, reduced apoptosis, and promoted migration and invasion. In contrast, PCK1 and G6PC were downregulated in HCC and showed a negative correlation with TAZ expression. Conclusion TAZ modulates gluconeogenesis and accelerates tumor growth, whereas its knockdown attenuates tumor progression. TAZ interacts with GR, suppressing its transcriptional activity on gluconeogenic gene promoters.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of intravesical instillation of urokinase and heparin sodium in the treatment of bladder clot irrigation.Methods This report discusses the diagnosis and treatment of three patients with bladder blood clot tamponade confirmed by abdominal and pelvic computed tomography(CT)scans enrolled from our hospital during Jun. to Sep. 2024, and discuss the relevant literature.Results A solution containing urokinase(20 000 IU)and heparin sodium(125 000 U)was instilled through a three-way catheter and retained for 30 minutes before drainage. Complete clot dissolution was achieved in all cases, with immediate relief of hypogastric distension and pain. Post-procedural CT showed restored bladder lumen patency. Hemoglobin levels decreased by 2-5 g/L without complications.Conclusion This preliminary trial demonstrated that intravesical instillation of urokinase-heparin provides a safe and effective minimally invasive alternative for bladder clot in irrigation cases.

Quality control (QC) of biospecimens from oral and maxillofacial tumors patients constitutes a critical foundation for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and precision medicine research of these diseases. Biospecimen quality directly governs the discovery and validation of disease biomarkers, the elucidation of pathogenesis, and the efficacy of clinical translation. QC spans the entire biospecimen lifecycle—encompassing collection, processing, storage, transportation, and utilization. Its primary objectives are to ensure sample integrity, reliability, traceability, and consistency, thereby guaranteeing the robustness of research data; the accuracy of molecular subtyping, biomarker identification, and treatment response prediction; and the precision of clinical decision-making. However, current QC frameworks for these biospecimens remain underdeveloped. Drawing on domestic and international technical standards, regulatory guidelines, and recent research advances, this paper elaborates on the importance of implementing a QC management system throughout the biospecimen lifecycle. It focuses on QC methodologies tailored to diverse biospecimen types, examining how standardized sampling procedures, regulated preprocessing workflows, and optimized long-term storage conditions influence sample quality. We aim to provide concrete guidance and a transferable paradigm for establishing standardized QC protocols and an informatics-enabled traceability system specific to oral and maxillofacial tumors. Such efforts are intended to enhance the research value and clinical utility of these biospecimens, furnishing reliable sample resources and technical support for the development of precision diagnostics and therapeutics. Furthermore, we advocate for a dual-track “QC plus Ethics” management framework within biobanks. This approach would reinforce ethical and legal safeguards, establishing a robust barrier to support safe scientific innovation and clinical translation.

Residual inflammatory risk （RIR） is a key issue to be urgently addressed in the secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease （ASCVD）. Targeted intervention of RIR has become a novel target for drug development and clinical management. A series of high-quality randomized controlled trials （RCTs）， including COLCOT， LoDoCo2 and CLEAR SYNERGY， provided high-level evidence and confirmed that low-dose colchicine （0.5 mg/d） significantly reduced the risk of cardiovascular events in ASCVD patients at stable stage or after the acute phase， while its efficacy varied in different clinical scenarios. International authoritative guidelines from the European Society of Cardiology and the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology include low-dose colchicine in the recommendations for ASCVD secondary prevention. Two domestic guidelines released in 2024， namely the Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Non-ST-Segment Elevation Acute Coronary Syndrome （ 2024 ） and the Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Chronic Coronary Syndrome in China ， have also added relevant recommendations. Nevertheless， due to potential racial differences， safety concerns regarding drug-drug interactions， and the relative lack of clinical evidence in China， especially the absence of prospective RCTs using low-dose colchicine for secondary prevention of ASCVD patients， current clinical recommendations still mainly based on international evidence and guidelines， and should not be simply extrapolated.

Objective:To analyze the influencing factors of severe dengue fever patients in the early stage, construct a early prediction model for severe dengue fever, and evaluate it.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted to collect early clinical data of dengue fever patients admitted to the People's Hospital of Mengla County and the Third People's Hospital of Kunming in Yunnan Province from July to December 2023. The multifactor logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the severe dengue fever patients, and Nomogram prediction model was used for visualization. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and calibration curve analysis were used to evaluate the model.Results:A total of 534 dengue fever patients were included, including 291 males and 243 females, aged (39.95 ± 15.69) years. Among them, there were 59 cases (11.05%) of severe dengue fever. The results of multifactor logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR = 1.05, 95% CI: 1.02 - 1.08, P < 0.001), cardiovascular disease ( OR = 5.28, 95% CI: 2.08 - 13.40, P < 0.001), serous effusion ( OR = 4.34, 95% CI: 1.63 - 11.57, P = 0.003), aspartate aminotransferase ( OR = 1.03, 95% CI: 1.02 - 1.04, P < 0.001), lactate dehydrogenase ( OR = 1.00, 95% CI: 1.00 - 1.01, P = 0.001), and fibrinogen ( OR = 0.46, 95% CI: 0.28 - 0.76, P = 0.003) were independent influencing factors in the early stage of severe dengue fever. The area under the ROC curve of the Nomogram prediction model constructed from the above six variables was 0.96 (0.93 - 0.98). The calibration curve analysis results showed that the mean absolute error between the predicted values of the Nomogram prediction model and the actual observed values was 0.014. Conclusions:Age, cardiovascular disease, serous effusion, aspartate aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, and fibrinogen are independent influencing factors in the early stage of severe dengue fever. The Nomogram prediction model established based on these variables has good predictive ability for severe dengue fever.
