Retinitis pigmentosa （RP） is the most common hereditary blinding eye disease in clinical practice， with the pathogenesis remaining unclear. Patients experience progressive apoptosis of retinal photoreceptor cells， accompanied by degeneration of retinal pigment epithelium （RPE） cells. Current Western medical treatments mainly focus on gene therapy and stem cell transplantation， showing limited efficacy. In contrast， clinical observations have confirmed the therapeutic effects of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatments. Establishing an RP animal model that aligns with the diagnostic features of both TCM and Western medicine could help combine the strengths of both approaches， thereby broadening the treatment options for RP. This study categorizes and summarizes the existing RP animal models in terms of classification， types， inheritance patterns， and alignment with clinical manifestations. It is found that current RP models are primarily derived from natural animal models such as RD mice and RCS rats， transgenic animal models like RPE-65 knockout mice and rhodopsin gene knockout mice， and chemically induced models such as those created by monochromatic light exposure or N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea （ENU） administration. These three categories of models focus more on detecting RP-related histopathological， molecular biological， and cellular immunological indicators， but offer limited observation of the overall characteristics of the disease and lack insight into syndrome differentiation. Although RP is a congenital genetic disease， its progression is influenced by acquired factors such as environment， constitution， emotions， and care. Current models do not fully capture the characteristics of this disease. Therefore， establishing an RP animal model based on the diagnostic features of both TCM and Western medicine will have significant implications for future experimental and clinical research.

ObjectiveBased on whole-animal mass spectrometry imaging technology， spatial metabolomics was used to characterize in situ the metabolic alteration patterns in the lungs and brain of a rat model of lung heat-induced cough and asthma， as well as after treatment with Xiebai San. MethodsNine Sprague-Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into a blank group （physiological saline）， a model group （physiological saline）， and a Xiebai San group （9 g·kg^-1）， with three rats in each group. The model group and the Xiebai San group were both induced using lipopolysaccharide-ovalbumin （LPS-OVA） to establish an asthma rat model. After treatment with Xiebai San， the animals were euthanized on day 21 and rapidly frozen in liquid nitrogen to preserve morphology. Whole-animal tissue sections were prepared using a cryomicrotome， and imaging was performed using the Air-flow-assisted Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry Imaging （AFADESI-MSI） platform. Based on the corresponding optical images， ion data of metabolites from the lung and brain tissues of each group were extracted. Differential metabolites were analyzed using SIMCA and GraphPad Prism 9.0 software. Metabolites were identified using the HMDB （https：//hmdb.ca/） and LipidMAPS^® （https：//www.lipidmaps.org/） databases， and metabolic changes in the lungs and brain were analyzed. ResultsMass spectrometry imaging showed that， after Xiebai San intervention， components such as neoglycyrrhizin and glycyrrhizin from Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， as well as palmitamide from Lycii Cortex， were significantly distributed in the lung and brain tissues of rats. Lung analysis indicated that substances with anti-inflammatory effects， such as citric acid， were significantly decreased （P0.01）， while lipid metabolites such as lysophosphatidylethanolamine （LPE 17：1）， LPE （22：4）， and LPE （19：0） （P0.01） were significantly increased， showing a marked inflammatory response in the model group. After Xiebai San intervention， these conditions were notably improved. Analysis of metabolic changes in brain tissue showed that， compared with the blank group， amino acid and fatty acid metabolic pathways in the model group exhibited restricted alterations. Among them， levels of aspartic acid， glutamic acid， fatty acid （FA 18：5）， hydroxy fatty acids （FAHFA 36：0；O）， FA （6：1；O6）， and LPE （18：1） increased， whereas FA （16：0） and FA （20：4） significantly decreased. Administration of Xiebai San improved these metabolic abnormalities in the brain. Systematic analysis of lung and brain metabolic changes in rats with lung heat-induced cough and asthma showed that antioxidant unsaturated phospholipid substances were significantly decreased in the model group， suggesting oxidative stress and inflammation-related lung-brain axis responses after the onset of lung heat-induced cough and asthma. ConclusionUsing whole-animal mass spectrometry imaging combined with spatial metabolomics revealed the in vivo distribution of Xiebai San constituents， characterized the metabolic alterations in the lungs and brain caused by lung heat-induced cough and asthma， and systematically demonstrated the lung-brain axis inflammatory responses and the regulatory effects of Xiebai San. These findings provide valuable information for the study of Chinese medicine in lung heat-induced cough and asthma.

In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has achieved significant progress in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease （IBD）. A comprehensive literature search was conducted covering the period from January 1， 2010， to December 30， 2024， across Chinese databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， Wanfang Data， VIP China Science and Technology Journal Database， and the Chinese Biomedical Literature Service System， as well as international databases such as PubMed， Web of Science， and Embase. The clinical applications and mechanistic studies of TCM in IBD were systematically reviewed. The current status of TCM research on the etiology and pathogenesis of IBD， innovative clinical practices， and multimodal therapeutic approaches， including Chinese herbal formulas， single herbs or active compounds， acupuncture， herbal retention enema， and acupoint application， were summarized， together with their synergistic effects when combined with western medical treatments. The development and application of Chinese patent medicines for IBD are undergoing a profound transition from efficacy validation to mechanistic exploration. Mechanistic studies on the effects of TCM in IBD mainly focus on regulating gut microbiota homeostasis， repairing the intestinal mucosal barrier， and modulating intestinal immune balance. Furthermore， future research directions for TCM-based IBD management are proposed， including the establishment of TCM diagnostic and treatment models， expanding integrated applications of external and internal TCM therapies， innovating personalized treatment strategies， and advancing drug development. These efforts aim to provide insights for the standardized and precision-oriented development of TCM in the diagnosis and treatment of IBD.

Objective To explore factors affecting the postoperative renal function and surgical complications in recipients of living donor kidney transplantation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on medical records of 119 patients who underwent living donor kidney transplantation at Beijing Friendship Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, from January 2020 to September 2024. The severity of surgical complications was evaluated using the Clavien-Dindo score. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between preoperative general data, surgical data, preoperative laboratory data and the Clavien-Dindo score. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed on the correlated factors. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of delayed graft function (DGF) after surgery. Results The body mass index, history of hypertension, cold ischemia time, the first warm ischemia time, the second warm ischemia time, prothrombin activity and international normalized ratio were all correlated with the Clavien-Dindo score. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the longer the second warm ischemia time and the first warm ischemia time were, the higher the Clavien-Dindo score was, and the more severe the postoperative surgical complications were (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that long the first warm ischemia time and long dialysis time were independent risk factors for the occurrence of DGF after surgery (all P<0.05). Conclusions Prolonged the second warm ischemia time and the first warm ischemia time may increase the severity of surgical complications in recipients after living donor kidney transplantation. Long the first warm ischemia time and long dialysis time are independent risk factors for the occurrence of DGF after surgery.

Neurocritical care involves complex pathophysiological mechanisms, and its incidence is higher, injuries are more severe, and treatment is more challenging in high-altitude environments. This consensus, based on the latest domestic and international evidence-based medical data, establishes a standardized, goal-oriented framework for neurocritical care management applicable in high-altitude regions and nationwide. The consensus was developed following international standards for evidence quality assessment and underwent two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, resulting in 32 recommendation statements covering three parts: management systems, monitoring and assessment, and core strategies. Key updates include: advocating for the establishment of independent neurocritical care units and implementing precise tiered diagnosis and treatment based on the "Five Differences in Critical Care" concept; constructing a "trinity" multimodal brain monitoring system centered on cerebral blood flow, cerebral oxygenation, and brain function, emphasizing routine bedside transcranial Doppler ultrasound, cerebral oximetry, and continuous electroencephalography monitoring; shifting management strategies from mild hypothermia therapy to targeted temperature management, and defining the "446" target management pathway for the supercritical stage; emphasizing the assessment of static and dynamic cerebrovascular autoregulation functions through multimodal methods to achieve individualized optimal mean arterial pressure management; elevating cerebrospinal fluid management goals to the level of "glymphatic system" function maintenance; implementing a multidisciplinary collaborative, whole-process management model focusing on patients' long-term neurological functional outcomes; de-escalation criteria include multidimensional indicators such as recovery of brain structure, restoration of cerebrovascular autoregulation, improvement in cerebrospinal fluid dynamics, and reduction in biomarker levels; and integrating cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence into post-critical care management and rehabilitation planning. This consensus systematically integrates the entire process of neurocritical care management, reflecting the modern connotation of goal-oriented, dynamic, and multimodal integration in neurocritical care medicine. It aims to adapt to new trends such as deepening understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, the integration of medicine and engineering, and the empowerment of artificial intelligence, thereby further advancing the discipline of critical care medicine.

Based on the theory of "shaoyang（少阳） resembling the pivot" and collateral diseases， this article proposes that pulmonary fibrosis （PF） can be divided into three stages including wind bi （痹）， constraint bi， and atrophy bi. The core pathogenesis of PF is the obstruction of the pivot and pulmonary collateral obstruction. In terms of treatment， the basic principles are to harmonize and regulate the pivot， and to promote the circulation of the lung collaterals. Depending on the different characteristics of the "essence-attribute-function"， treatment methods such as harmonizing and regulating the pivot， resolving phlegm and removing stasis， supplementing deficiency and harmonizing collaterals are suggested. This approach ensures the regulation of the pivot， smooth circulation of qi and blood， unblocking of the lung collaterals and nourishing the lung body， achieving the goals of balancing the ascending and descending of qi， removing phlegm and stasis， and relieving cough and wheezing.
