Objective: To analyze the serological and molecular biological characteristics of one case with Ael subtype. Methods: ABO serological typing was performed using the tube method. ABO genotyping was conducted by sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP). The genotype was identified by Oxford Nanopore third-generation sequencing (TGS). Pymol, Polyphen-2, PROVEAN, and DUET were used to predict the effects of mutations on protein structure and function. Results: Serological testing identified an Ael subtype. PCR-SSP genotyping showed an A/O2 profile. TGS obtained two full-length ABO haplotype sequences: the first was ABO O.01.02, and the second was a recombinant haplotype of ABO B.01-O.01.02, with the recombination breakpoint mapped between c. 357-39 and c. 526G>C. Mutations on this recombinant allele included c. 297A>G, c. 646T>A, c. 681G>A, c. 771C>T, and c. 829G>A, among which c. 646T>A (p. Phe216Ile) and c. 829G>A (p. Val277Met) were two functional amino acid substitution sites. Protein structure modeling revealed alterations in local conformation and hydrogen bond network, and functional prediction indicated decreased protein stability. Conclusion: A recombination between ABO alleles B.01 and O.01.02 was identified in the region spanning intron 6 to exon 7, resulting in a B.01-O.01.02 recombinant gene. This recombinant leads to key amino acid substitutions in the B glycosyltransferase, causing local structural changes and decreased stability of the enzyme protein, ultimately manifesting as the Ael blood group phenotype.

Green prescription is a written prescription aimed at improving health by promoting physical activity and improving diet， with advantages such as high cost-effectiveness， strong feasibility， and minimal harm to patients. The theory of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） green prescription integrates the health philosophy of "following rule of yin and yang， and adjusting ways to cultivating health"， the exercise philosophy of balancing yin-yang and the five elements， and the dietary philosophy of moderation and balance， which embody core TCM concepts such as treating disease before its onset and harmony between humans and nature. It has also developed traditional exercise practices like Tai Chi， Baduanjin， Wuqinxi， Yi-Gin-Ching， and Qigong， as well as dietary adjustments like medicated diet and herbal wines. However， it is believed that the TCM green prescription currently suffers from insufficient evidence-based research， low patient awareness and acceptance， and weak basic research. Based on this， it is proposed that large-sample clinical trials should be conducted in the future to improve the quality of evidence-based medicine， basic research can be carried out with the help of artificial intelligence and other methods in research design， the hospital information system （HIS） can be used for control at the implementation level， and publicity and patient education can be strengthened through the new media， so as to promote the development and application of the TCM green prescriptions in the field of global health treatment.

According to the theory of cancer toxin pathogenesis， tumors are complex syndromes centered on cancer toxin， characterized by multiple time points and locations， interwoven pathogenic toxins， and a combination of deficiency and excess. Postoperative recurrence of colorectal cancer is a dynamic spatiotemporal process. In this paper， the core pathogenesis of postoperative recurrence of colorectal cancer， namely "deficiency of spleen qi， with damp-heat stasis toxin"， has been discussed based on spatiotemporal evolution of cancer toxin. It is suggested that spleen qi depletion leading to the proliferation of cancer toxin represents the temporal characteristic of postoperative recurrence， while the stasis of damp-heat facilitating the aggregation and spread of cancer toxin refelct its spatial pattern. This paper has constructed a holistic spatiotemporal prevention and treatment strategy according to different stages before and after recurrence. Before recurrence， the focus is on prevention， and it is suggested to rectify the healthy qi and fortify spleen， clear heat and resolve dampness， unblock collaterals and remove toxin. After recurrence， the focus should be on treatment， and the strategy is combating cancer and removing toxin， breaking the blood to eliminate disease， regulating and tonifying the zang-fu （脏腑） organs.

Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a crucial risk factor influencing an unfavorable prognosis in specific cancers. Fundamental research illuminates our understanding of tumor behavior and identifies valuable therapeutic targets. Nevertheless, the exploration of fundamental theories and the validation of clinical therapies hinge on preclinical experiments. Preclinical models, in this context, serve as the conduit connecting fundamental theories to clinical outcomes. In vivo models established in animals offer a valuable platform for comprehensively observing interactions between tumor cells and organisms. Using various experimental animals, including mice, diverse methods, such as carcinogen-induced tumorigenesis, tumor cell line or human tumor transplantation, genetic engineering, and humanization, have been used effectively to construct numerous models for tumor LNM. Carcinogen-induced models simulate the entire process of tumorigenesis and metastasis. Transplantation models, using human tumor cell lines or patient-derived tumors, offer a research platform closely mirroring the histology and clinical behavior of human tumors. Genetically engineered models have been used to delve into the mechanisms of primary tumorigenesis within an intact microenvironment. Humanized models are used to overcome barriers between human and murine immune systems. Beyond mouse models, various other animal models have unique advantages and limitations, all contributing to exploring LNM. This review summarizes existing in vitro and animal preclinical models, identifies current bottlenecks in preclinical research, and offers an outlook on forthcoming preclinical models.

Biosensors based on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) are crucial for early diagnosis, less invasive treatment, and drug evaluation of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, existing technologies often suffer from enzyme conformational changes, leading to altered activity and loss and reduced sensor efficacy. To address this challenge, we developed a novel right-side-out-oriented red blood cell membrane-coated electrochemical biosensors (ROCMCBs) to evaluate AChE inhibitors from traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) as potential anti-AD agents. The developed right-side-out-oriented coating based on immunoaffinity not only fully exposed the binding sites of AChE on the cell membrane but also ensured its conformation and stability as a peripheral membrane-anchoring protein, which was conducive to maintaining its biological activity and producing optimal interaction with drugs. At the same time, the biosensors exhibited a satisfactory sensitivity (limit of detection = 0.41 pmol/L). Ultimately, six potentially active compounds against AD (baicalin, geniposide, gastrodin, berberine, rhynchophylline, and senkyunolide A) were rapidly identified and evaluated from TCMs. This project provides a promising strategy for developing cell membrane-coated electrochemical biosensors. The application of cell membrane-coated electrochemical biosensors with well-defined cell membrane orientation further expands new perspectives and methods for AChE-targeted anti-AD research.
