Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disease involving multiple systems and neurotransmitters. Due to the high clinical heterogeneity of PD,it is urgent to establish a comprehensive and long-term traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) management model. In this paper,the conceptual framework of full-cycle management of PD is preliminarily constructed:based on the evolution of the pathophysiological mechanisms of protein deposition and neurotransmitter disorder in PD,the three-stage syndrome characteristics of the prodromal stage (predominant healthy Qi with subtle pathogenic factors),the early clinical stage (declining healthy Qi with growing pathogenic factors) and the middle and late stages (overwhelming pathogenic factors with deficient healthy Qi) are longitudinally described. Through the syndrome differentiation of visceral manifestations,the etiology and pathogenesis of PD motor and non-motor symptoms were comprehensively analyzed,while the matching treatment methods and prescriptions were inferred,and the modular scheme of the combining main symptoms,accompanying symptoms and secondary symptoms was proposed. The conceptual gap of TCM regarding motor complications ('variable syndrome') and PD-related hyperpyrexia syndrome ('critical syndrome') was explained. This framework reflects the characteristics of combination of disease and syndrome and overall constant motion,and provides new theories and research ideas for individualized and whole-process management of PD in TCM.

Health economics evidence plays an important role in linking clinical value evidence with health resource allocation decisions in the development of clinical practice guidelines. It can not only effectively balance clinical effectiveness and economic feasibility but also avoid forming "idealized" recommendations that are detached from the affordability of the healthcare system or the burden-bearing capacity of patients. To promote guideline developers to use health economics evidence more standardizedly and fully, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current application status, existing challenges, access channels, and application processes of health economics evidence in current guidelines, and on this basis, puts forward considerations and suggestions for strengthening and standardizing the application of health economics evidence in China's clinical practice guidelines.

OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula in ameliorating diabetic kidney disease (DKD) based on the gut microbiota-lipopolysaccharide (LPS)/Caspase-11/gasdermin D (GSDMD) pathway.METHODS A DKD mouse model was established by high-fat and high-sugar diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of low-dose streptozotocin. The successfully modeled mice were randomly divided into model group, metformin group (positive control, 200 mg/kg) and Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula group (32.4 g/kg, calculated as crude drug dosage), with 10 mice in each group; another 10 mice were set as the control group. Mice were intragastrically administered with corresponding drug solutions or normal saline once a day for 8 consecutive weeks. After the last administration, serum glycolipid metabolism indicators and urinary renal function indicators of mice were determined; the pathological and morphological changes of renal and colonic tissues were observed; LPS contents in renal tissues, colonic contents and serum were detected. 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing was performed for gut microbiota analysis of colonic contents. The protein expressions of Occludin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in colonic tissues as well as Caspase-11 and GSDMD in renal tissues were detected.RESULTS Compared with the control group, the model group exhibited significantly elevated levels of serum fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen and microalbumin, LPS contents in each sample, as well as protein expressions of Caspase-11 and GSDMD in renal tissues ( P <0.05). The protein expressions of ZO-1 and Occludin in colonic tissues, together with Chao1 and Ace indices of gut microbiota, were markedly decreased ( P <0.05), and the ratio of Firmicutes to Bacteroidetes was abnormally increased. Obvious histopathological changes were observed in renal and colonic tissues; the percentage of PAS-positive area in kidney was markedly increased ( P <0.05). Compared with the model group, the Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula group showed remarkable reductions in glycolipid metabolism and renal function-related indicators(except total cholesterol), LPS contents in various samples, and renal protein expressions of Caspase-11 and GSDMD ( P <0.05). The protein expression level of ZO-1 in colonic tissues and the Ace index of gut microbiota were significantly increased ( P <0.05), and the relative abundance of beneficial genera including Bifidobacterium , Faecalibaculum and Akkermansia in the gut microbiota was elevated.CONCLUSIONS The mechanism by which Yiqi yangyin huazhuo tongluo formula ameliorates DKD may be related to reshaping gut microbiota, repairing intestinal mucosal barrier, reducing LPS translocation into blood, and further inhibiting Caspase-11/GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis in kidney.
