Diabetic nephropathy （DN） is one of the most common and serious microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus and represents a major cause of chronic kidney disease progression and end-stage kidney disease， thereby constituting a major public health problem that adversely affects the prognosis and quality of life of patients with diabetes mellitus. The pathogenesis and progression of DN are complex and involve multiple pathological processes， including insulin resistance， inflammation， oxidative stress， lipid deposition， podocyte injury， and renal fibrosis. Although current clinical therapies can delay the progression of DN to some extent， their effectiveness remains limited by marked interindividual variability in therapeutic response and the difficulty of fully reversing renal injury. Therefore， further elucidation of the key molecular mechanisms underlying DN and the exploration of effective therapeutic strategies are of considerable importance. In recent years， with advances in the understanding of DN pathogenesis， peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ （PPARγ）， an important nuclear receptor transcription factor involved in the regulation of insulin resistance， inflammation， oxidative stress， and fibrotic processes， has attracted increasing attention for its role in the development and progression of DN. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， characterized by multi-component， multi-target， and multi-pathway synergistic regulation， may ameliorate pathological processes including metabolic abnormalities， inflammation， oxidative stress， lipid deposition， and renal fibrosis in DN by targeting PPARγ and its associated signaling networks. This review systematically summarizes the mechanisms by which PPARγ and its related signaling pathways regulate DN and reviews recent advances in TCM interventions targeting the PPARγ signaling pathway in DN. Such TCM interventions encompass single herbs such as Coptidis Rhizoma， active constituents such as quercetin， astragaloside Ⅳ， and trigonelline， extracts of herbs such as Plantaginis Herba and Dendrobii Nobilis Caulis， and formulas such as Huangkui capsules， Shenshuaining granules， and Mudan granules. This review aims to provide a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of DN with TCM.

Objective To compare the disease burden and evolving trends of major malignant tumors in China and globally from 1990 to 2021,and conduct predictive analysis,so as to provide a reference for formulating prevention and treatment policies for malignant tumor in China.Methods Based on the Global Burden of Disease Database 2021(GBD 2021),descriptive research methods were used to analyze the incidence and mortality of major malignant tumors in China and globally,as well as the changes in their rankings.The Joinpoint log-linear model was applied to analyze trends in age-standardized incidence rates(ASIR)and age-standardized mortality rates(ASMR)of malignant tumors in China and globally from 1990-2021.A Bayesian age-period-cohort(BAPC)model was constructed using R 4.4.0 to predict the incidence trends of malignant tumor in China and globally from 2022 to 2035.Results In 2021,there were 17.2294 million new cases of malignant tumors(excluding non-melanoma skin cancer)and 9.7763 million deaths globally,with an ASIR of 201.06/100,000 and ASMR of 115.11/100,000.In China,4.5375 million new cases and 2.7964 million deaths were reported,with ASIR and ASMR of 221.30/100,000 and 136.36/100,000,respectively.Lung cancer ranked first in both incidence and mortality of malignant tumors in China and globally.Female breast cancer had the second-highest ASIR in China.The number of incident cases and deaths from digestive system malignancies included in this study accounted for 42.0%of the total incident cases and 46.8%of the total deaths from all cancers in China,respectively.From 1990 to 2021,the average annual percentage change(AAPC)for overall ASIR of malignant tumors in China was 0.30,while ASMR declined(AAPC:-0.97).Globally,ASIR decreased slightly(AAPC:-0.10),and ASMR declined(AAPC:-0.78).The BAPC model predicted that by 2035,China's ASIR of malignant tumors may rise to 252.44/100,000,whereas the global ASIR is expected to decrease to 183.05/100,000.Conclusions China has achieved some success in cancer prevention and treatment,but still faces a heavy disease burden,with ASIR and ASMR exceeding global averages and ASIR persistently increasing.Cancer prevention and control work such as health education should be strengthened.Precise prevention and control measures should be taken for key cancer types,and preventive interventions should be focused on the elderly population.

Based on the similarity of chemical constituents between Panax notoginseng flowers and rhizomes, this study investigated their lipid-lowering effects and impacts on the intestinal flora of rats. The main components of P. notoginseng flowers and rhizomes were detected by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry(UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS) to compare their chemical similarities. A hyperlipidemia rat model was induced using a high-fat diet. After successful modeling, the rats were divided into the blank control group, blank administration group(0.090 g·kg~(-1)), model group, low-(0.045 g·kg~(-1)), medium-(0.090 g·kg~(-1)), high-dose(0.180 g·kg~(-1)) P. notoginseng flower group, P. notoginseng rhizome group(0.270 g·kg~(-1)), and simvastatin group(0.900 mg·kg~(-1)). After modeling, the rats were given intragastric administration for 3 weeks, once daily, while their body weight was recorded regularly. Before the last administration, fresh feces were collected for analysis of changes in intestinal flora using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing technology. One hour after the last administration, the rats were anesthetized with 1% pentobarbital sodium, and blood was collected from the abdominal aorta. Serum biochemical indexes were detected using an automatic biochemical analyzer. Organs(heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney) were harvested, and organ index were calculated. Liver tissue pathology was assessed through HE staining and oil red O staining. The results indicated that there were 33 identical chemical constituents in P. notoginseng flowers and rhizomes, accounting for 75.00% of the total constituents. After treatment, high-dose P. notoginseng flower group and P. notoginseng rhizome group exhibited similar effects on body weight, serum biochemical indexes, and liver histopathological conditions. Compared with model control group, the abundance of Firmicutes and Actinobacteria increased in high-dose P. notoginseng flower and rhizome groups, while the abundance of Bacteroidetes and Thermodesulfobacteria decreased. Cluster analysis showed no significant difference between the two groups. Both P. notoginseng flowers and rhizomes possess similar chemical components and lipid-lowering effects, and they can regulate the intestinal flora imbalance caused by hyperlipidemia, indicating their potential for use in hyperlipidemia treatment.

OBJECTIVE:To systematically evaluate the correlation between phase angle and sarcopenia and its diagnostic indexes.METHODS:The PubMed,EMbase,Cochrane Library,Web of Science,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP and SinoMed databases were electronically searched to collect studies on the correlation between phase angle and sarcopenia and its diagnostic indexes from database inception to May 8,2024. Two reviewers independently screened literature,extracted data and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies. Meta-analysis was then performed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.0 software. RESULTS:A total of 50 eligible articles were included. Meta-analysis results showed that compared with the non-sarcopenic population,the phase angle was significantly reduced in sarcopenic patients[standardized mean difference (SMD)=-0.99,95％ confidence interval (CI) (-1.09,-0.90),P<0.00001]. The results of subgroup analysis indicated that the difference of phase angle was more significant in patients with severe sarcopenia and Asian sarcopenia. Moreover,reduction in the phase angle was more obvious in patients with malignant tumors and respiratory diseases with sarcopenia. And skeletal muscle mass index (Pearson's r=0.565,P<0.00001),grip strength (Pearson's r=0.446,P<0.00001),and gait speed (Pearson's r=0.405,P<0.00001) all showed a moderate positive correlation with phase angle. However,appendicular skeletal muscle mass index showed a very weak positive correlation with phase angle (Pearson's r=0.139,P=0.02). CONCLUSION:Phase angle has a significant difference between sarcopenia and non-sarcopenia population,and it is correlated with the diagnostic indexes of sarcopenia to different extents. It suggests that phase angle has some clinical values in the objective diagnosis of sarcopenia. However,the results may be influenced by some factors such as sarcopenia severity and detection instruments of phase angle. Due to the limited quality and quantity of the included studies,more high-quality studies are needed to verify the above conclusion.

Objective:To understand the usage situation of e-cigarettes among residents aged 18-65 in Beijing, explore the relationship between e-cigarette use and cigarette smoking as well as smoking cessation behaviors, and provide scientific support for the developing and improving policies and measures related to e-cigarettes.Methods:Using 19 684 residents data from the Beijing Non-communication Chronic Disease and Risk Factors Surveillance in 2022, complex sampling weighted methods were used to estimate proportions, and complex sampling logistic regression analysis was applied to explore the relationship between e-cigarette use, cigarette smoking, and smoking cessation.Results:Among all study participants, the proportion of those who had ever used e-cigarettes was 3.36%, with the current e-cigarette use at 1.26%. The proportion of current e-cigarette users (1.87%) and the former e-cigarette users (3.47%) were higher ( χ2=64.70, P<0.001) among males compared to females (0.60% and 0.64% respectively). The top three reasons for using e-cigarettes were wanting to quit smoking, perceiving e-cigarettes as less harmful, and enjoying the flavors of e-cigarettes. 83.54% of e-cigarette users started with cigarettes. The results of the complex sampling multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that current smoking ( OR=61.35, 95% CI: 36.98-101.76) and former smoking ( OR=31.20, 95% CI: 15.52-62.71) were positively associated with e-cigarette, while current e-cigarette use ( OR=0.13, 95% CI: 0.04-0.39) was negatively associated with quitting cigarette smoking. Conclusions:The proportion of e-cigarette use in Beijing was relatively low. E-cigarette use was associated with cigarette use and was not conducive to smoking cessation. Therefore, stronger regulatory measures and health education campaigns regarding the risks of e-cigarettes should be implemented.

Acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fracture (ASOTLF) can lead to chronic low back pain, kyphosis deformity, pulmonary dysfunction, loss of mobility, and even life-threatening complications. Vertebral augmentation is currently the mainstream treatment method for this condition. In 2019, the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Trauma and the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association collaboratively led the development of Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation for acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures. Six years later, with advances in clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques as well as accumulating evidence in related fields, the 2019 guideline requires updating. To this end, the Spinal Trauma Group of Orthopedic Surgeons Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, the Spinal Health Professional Committee of China Human Health Science and Technology Promotion Association, and the Minimally Invasive Orthopedics Professional Committee of Shaanxi Medical Doctor Association have organized experts in the field to develop the Clinical guideline for vertebral augmentation of acute symptomatic osteoporotic thoracolumbar compression fractures ( version 2025) , based on the latest evidence-based medical researches. This guideline incorporates 3 recommendations retained from the 2019 version with updated strength of evidence, along with 12 new recommendations. It provides recommendations from six aspects of diagnosis, pain management, treatment option selection, prevention of postoperative complications, anti-osteoporosis therapy, and postoperative rehabilitation, aiming to provide a reference for standard treatment of vertebral augmentation for ASOTLF in hospitals at all levels.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.
