Changes in biliary system dynamics are closely associated with the development and progression of related diseases， and with the in-depth interdisciplinary research on medical sciences and engineering， the value of biliary biomechanics in clinical diagnosis and treatment has become increasingly important. This article systematically reviews the characteristics of changes in biliary system dynamics under pathological conditions and explores the application value of technologies such as biliary manometry， hydrodynamic evaluation， and experimental simulation in clinical diagnosis， treatment， and postoperative management， so as to deepen the understanding of existing diagnostic and therapeutic modes and provide new ideas for promoting precision medicine for biliary tract diseases.

Infectious diseases occur and evolve through a dynamic contest between pathogenic qi and the body's healthy qi， with marked stage-dependent progression. This paper constructs a whole-course system of syndrome differentiation and treatment based on the theories of "struggle between pathogenic qi and healthy qi" and "relapse due to overexertion after recovery". The former reveals the intrinsic link between the waxing and waning of pathogenic and healthy qi and the evolution of syndromes， guiding stratified interventions during acute stage by discerning the location and nature of pathogenic factors and determining appropriate strategies for eliminating pathogens and supporting healthy qi according to the dynamics of deficiency and excess syndromes. The latter focuses on the recovery stage after infection and disease relapse， emphasizing harmonizing yin， yang， qi and blood to restore functions of zang-fu （脏腑） organs， and combining unblocking， tonifying， and turbidity-dispelling methods to eliminate both new and lingering pathogens. Throughout the whole-course treatment， attention should be paid to dynamic pathogenesis and stage-to-stage coherence， with emphasis on formula-syndrome correspondence， and integration of modern diagnostic and therapeutic measures， to construct individualized strategies bridging disease stages and integrating prevention with treatment， thereby systematically leveraging the integrative strengths of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases.

ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of resveratrol against blood-brain barrier damage in a rat model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and to determine whether this effect is mediated by the C-C motif chemokine ligand 3 (CCL3)/C-C chemokine receptor type 5 (CCR5) signaling pathway　Methods　A total of 100 specific pathogen-free (SPF) male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, aged 6-8 weeks, were randomly divided into five groups: sham-operated (Sham), model (MCAO), resveratrol-treated (Res), resveratrol+CCR5 agonist (Res+Agonist), and resveratrol+CCR5 antagonist (Res+Antagonist) groups. The MCAO, Res, Res+Agonist, and Res+Antagonist groups were subjected to middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) for 45 min followed by reperfusion to establish the rat model of cerebral ischemia, while the Sham group underwent carotid artery exposure without ischemia. After reperfusion, resveratrol (60 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected in Res, Res+Agonist and Res+Antagonist groups, and an equal volume of normal saline was injected in Sham and MCAO groups. Thirty minutes later, CCR5 agonist (20 μg/kg) was injected via the tail vein in the Res+Agonist group, CCR5 inhibitor (1 mg/kg) was injected via the tail vein in the Res+Antagonist group, and the equal volume of normal saline was injected via the tail vein in the Res, Sham and MCAO groups. Thereafter, resveratrol, CCR5 agonist, CCR5 inhibitor, or saline were administered every 24 hours for 3 consecutive days. After modeling, cerebral infarct volume was evaluated by 2,3,5‑triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining. Blood‑brain barrier (BBB) permeability was assessed by Evans blue extravasation. Serum levels of the pro‑inflammatory cytokines interleukin‑1β (IL‑1β), tumor necrosis factor‑α (TNF‑α), and CCL3 were measured by enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Histopathological changes in brain tissue were observed by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining. Immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the fluorescence intensity of the microglial marker ionized calcium‑binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba‑1) and CCR5. Western blotting analysis was used to detect proteins associated with the CCL3/CCR5 signaling pathway (CCL3, CCR5) in brain tissue, serum pro-inflammatory cytokines [phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappa B (p-NF-κB)] and blood-brain barrier-related proteins [matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and occludin]. ResultsCompared with the Sham group, the MCAO group exhibited significantly increased levels of all injury parameters, including cerebral infarct volume, Evans blue extravasation rate in brain tissue, serum levels of the pro‑inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, TNF-α, and CCL3), the rate of Iba-1- and CCR5-positive immunofluorescence signals in brain tissue, and the protein expression levels of CCL3, CCR5, p-NF-κB, and MMP9 (all P<0.001), accompanied by markedly decreased expression of occludin (P<0.001). HE and Nissl staining revealed pronounced histopathological damage in the MCAO group.Compared with the MCAO group, the Res group showed significant reductions in all the aforementioned injury indicators and a significant increase in occludin expression (P<0.01), together with ameliorated histopathological changes. Compared with the Res group, the Res+Agonist group displayed significantly elevated injury indicators and decreased occludin expression (P<0.05), with aggravated brain tissue damage. In contrast, the Res+Antagonist group exhibited significant decreases in injury indicators and a significant increase in occludin expression (P<0.05), along with further alleviation of histopathological injury. ConclusionResveratrol attenuates peripheral inflammation in cerebral ischemia‑reperfusion injury by targeting the CCL3/CCR5 signaling pathway, thereby exerting a protective effect on the blood‑brain barrier.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanism of Dingchuan Granule （定喘颗粒， DG） in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus （RSV） pneumonia. MethodsA total of 60 male Sprague Dawley （SD） rats were randomly divided into control group， model group， ribavirin group， DG low-dose group， DG middle-dose group， and DG high-dose group， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the control group， rats were administrated with RSV via intranasal drip. After model establishment， the DG low-， middle-， and high-dose groups were administrated via oral gavage with DG at 3.47， 6.93， and 13.86 g/（kg·d） respectively， while the ribavirin group was administrated via oral gavage with ribavirin at 15.75 mg/（kg·d）. The drug was given once daily for one week. The rats in the control group and the model group were not given any drug， only subjected to the grasping action. Twenty-four hours after the last administration， the pathological changes of lung tissues were observed and scored using HE staining. The levels of serum inflammatory factors， including tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6）， were detected by colorimetry. The protein levels of nuclear factor （erythroid derived 2）-like 2 （Nrf2）， Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）， heme oxygenase 1 （HO-1）， and NAD（P）H quinone dehydrogenase 1 （NQO1） in lung tissues were measured by Western Blot. The RSV load as well as the gene expression levels of Nrf2， Keap1， HO-1， and NQO1 in lung tissues were determined by qRT-PCR. The level of reactive oxygen species （ROS） in rat lung tissues was detected using chemiluminescence. The levels of glutathione （GSH） and malondialdehyde （MDA） in rat lung tissues were measured by a microassay. ResultsCompared with the control group， other groups had significant increases in pathological score of lung tissue， RSV load， levels of ROS， MDA， serum TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6； decrease in GSH level， increases in expression level of Keap1 protein and its mRNA in lung tissue， and significant decrease in levels of Nrf2， HO-1， expression level of NQO1 protein and its mRNA （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， all the above-mentioned indicators in the DG low-， middle-， and high-dose groups and the ribavirin group were improved to varying degree （P＜0.05）. The levels of serum TNF-α， IL-1β， and IL-6 in rats of DG dose groups showed a dose-dependent pattern， the DG high-dose group exhibiting the best effect （P＜0.05）. The DG high-dose group was superior to the DG low- and middle-dose groups in reducing the levels of ROS and MDA， and increasing the level of GSH in lung tissues （P＜0.05）. The DG high-dose group and the ribavirin group had better effect than the DG middle-dose group in reducing the RSV load （P＜0.05）. The DG high-dose group was superior to the ribavirin group in improving the protein levels of Nrf2， Keap1， HO-1， and NQO1 （P＜0.05）. ConclusionDG could inhibit oxidative stress by regulating the Nrf2/Keap1/HO-1/NQO1 signaling pathway to improve pulmonary inflammation and treat RSV pneumonia， with the DG high-dose group showing the best effect.

Objective:To explore the short-term clinical effects of deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD).Methods:A prospective exploratory study was conducted on the treatment of AD patients using the cervical deep lymph node-venous anastomosis technique in Scar and Wound Treatment Department, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, from September to October 2024. The patients underwent high-frequency ultrasound to locate deep cervical lymph nodes and the external jugular vein. Under general anesthesia, bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses were performed. Indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography was conducted via subcutaneous injection behind the ear to visualize lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. After making a skin incision along the posterior margin of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the external jugular vein, internal jugular veins, and associated lymph nodes were exposed. Adjacent veins were selected for anastomosis of lymph node. Using microsurgical techniques, end-to-side or end-to-end anastomosis was completed for lymph nodes in levels Ⅱ and Ⅲ. Preoperative assessments included the mini-mental state examination (MMSE, a higher score indicates better cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease assessment scale-cognitive subscale (ADAS-Cog, a higher score indicates greater impairment of cognitive function), Alzheimer’s disease cooperative study scale for activities of daily living (ADCS-ADL, a higher score indicates better ability to perform daily activity), and neuropsychiatric inventory (NPI, a higher score indicates more severe behavioral and emotional symptom). Postoperative follow-up included the same scales to observe changes in cognitive function, activities of daily living, and emotional communication.Results:Four patients (1 male, 3 females, aged 58-79 years) with AD were included. All were diagnosed based on cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers. All patients successfully underwent bilateral deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomoses. On average, 4.3 (2-7 per person) anastomoses were performed per patient. Surgical procedures lasted an average of 6.5 h (5.5-8.5 h) with minimal blood loss (less than 50 ml). Patients resumed normal activity within 6 hours postoperatively and were discharged after an average of 4.1 d (3.5-5.0 d). Postoperative complications included one case each of aspiration pneumonia, lower limb venous thrombosis, and transient delirium, all of whom resolved without long-term effects. Clinical symptoms, including memory decline, mood swings, and anxiety, showed varying degrees of improvement. Patients reported enhanced quality of life, emotional stability, and social engagement, confirming the procedure’s safety and potential cognitive benefits. At one month postoperatively, the MMSE scores of the four patients increased by an average of 0.8 points compared to preoperative levels. Additionally, the two patients who completed the ADAS-Cog assessments showed a decrease in their scores (reduced by 1.0 points and 11.3 points, respectively, compared to preoperative scores), indicating a certain degree of improvement in cognitive function during this period. The ADCS-ADL and NPI scores of four patients varied significantly, without showing any clear pattern.Conclusion:Lymphovenous anastomosis of the deep cervical lymph node-venous anastomosis may provide a new surgical intervention approach for AD, but further large-scale studies and long-term follow-up are needed to validate its safety and effectiveness.

Objective To address the personalized differences in motion gait between stroke patients and healthy older adults,as well as the issue of abnormal gait recognition,a deep learning fusion-based approach is proposed to effectively improve the accuracy of abnormal gait recognition.Methods A model fusing convolutional neural networks(CNN)and bidirectional long short-term memory networks(BiLSTM)was adopted,with the introduction of a residual network(ResNet).Unilateral ankle joint movement data at different walking speeds within a comfortable range were collected from healthy older adults and stroke patients.Signals from inertial sensors and electromyography sensors were used as inputs,while gait features were analyzed and gait differences between the two groups were compared.The effectiveness of the model was validated by comparing the classification performance of traditional deep learning models and CNN-ResNet-BiLSTM models with different layer combinations in terms of abnormal gait recognition accuracy.Results The CNN-ResNet-BiLSTM model,which introduced residual connectivity,performed excellently in abnormal gait recognition.Compared with traditional deep learning models such as the gated recurrent unit(GRU)and long short-term memory network(LSTM),its prediction accuracy was improved by 13.6％and 8.36％,respectively.Additionally,compared with other model combinations,this model achieved an overall accuracy of 97.78％.Conclusions The algorithm proposed in this study can be applied to stroke-related abnormal gait detection,providing technique support for the early diagnosis and precise monitoring of such diseases.

To investigate the effects of zearalenone(ZEA)on the proliferation and apoptosis of sika deer antler chondrocytes,the chondrocytes were isolated and cultured in vitro and treated with 50μmol/L ZEA for 24 h.Flow cytometry was used to assess cell proliferation,cell cycle,apoptosis,mitochondrial membrane potential,and intracellular levels of reactive oxygen species(ROS).The expression changes of hypertrophic cartilage cell marker genes Col X,Runx2,Alpl,and apoptosis-related genes Casp-3,Bax,Bcl-2 were measured using quantitative PCR.Additionally,glutathione reductase(GR)activity and the levels of the oxidative stress marker malondialdehyde(MDA)were determined.The results showed that after 24 h of ZEA treatment,cell proliferation was sig-nificantly inhibited,with an increase in the number of cells in the G0/G1 phase and a decrease in the S phase.The expression levels of hypertrophic chondrocyte marker genes Col X,Runx2 and Al-pl were significantly increased.Apoptosis rate was significantly increased,with elevated expression of pro-apoptotic genes Casp-3,Bax and reduced expression of the anti-apoptotic gene Bcl-2.The content of MDA in the antler chondrocytes increased,ROS levels rose,and GR activity decreased.The mitochondrial membrane potential reduced.The results suggested that ZEA could inhibit the proliferation of antler chondrocytes and promote the apoptosis by regulating cellular oxidative stress responses and the expression of apoptosis-related genes.

Objective: To summarize strategies for improving childhood hypertension, so as to provide evidencebased recommendations for poliymaking and practice childhood hypertension management in China. Methods: From March to April 2024, child health stakeholders from five districts in Hangzhou were selected using a combination of stratified and convenience sampling methods. Data were analyzed using a groundedtheory approach. During the indepth interview phase, six policymakers were interviewed. Focus group discussions were conducted with school administrators, healthcare providers, and parents, comprising a total of 62 participants. Results: Through threelevel coding, 116 initial categories were identified(e.g., "trend of younger age" "difficulty in behavior change"), 35 main categories (e.g., "higher incidence compared to the past" "caused by comprehensive influencing factors"), and 12 core categories (e.g., "epidemic status" "influencing factors"). Finally, the cognitive status, problem analysis, and management strategies of children hypertension were constructed. Conclusion Effective prevention and control of childhood hypertension requires coordinated efforts among governments, schools, families, and society to establish a comprehensive management system, with dynamic monitoring and evaluation to optimize policy implementation.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Tongxinluo capsules on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome elements and major adverse cardiovascular events （MACEs） in patients with chronic coronary syndrome of Qi deficiency and blood stasis type. MethodsA multicenter and prospective cohort study was conducted. The intervention of Tongxinluo Capsules was used as the exposure factor， and the patients were divided into an exposure group （integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine treatment group） and a non-exposure group （western medicine treatment group）. The patients were followed up for one year. The TCM syndrome element scores were assessed by using a syndrome element diagnosis scale on the day of enrollment and in the third， sixth， and twelfth months， and the incidence of MACE within one year was recorded. ResultsA total of 186 patients were included， with 128 patients in the exposure group and 58 patients in the non-exposure group. There was no significant difference in baseline data between the two groups. Compared with those in the pretreatment period for each group， the Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome scores in the treatment and follow-up period were significantly improved （P<0.05）. Compared with the non-exposure group， the exposure group exhibited significantly decreased Qi deficiency syndrome scores in the treatment and follow-up period （P<0.01） and significantly reduced blood stasis syndrome scores in the sixth month （P<0.05）. In the remaining follow-up period， there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups. Compared with that of the non-exposure group， during the treatment period （the third month）， the difference in Qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome scores of the exposure group was statistically significant （P<0.05， P<0.01）. At the end of the follow-up period， patients in the non-exposure group had a MACE probability of 6.90% （4/58）， higher than 3.13% in the exposure group （4/58）. Compared with patients with angina pectoris who used conventional medicine， patients administered with Tongxinluo Capsules had a relative risk（RR） of 0.45 ［95%confidence interval（95%CI） 0.12-1.75， P=0.26］. There was no significant difference in the incidence of MACE within one year between the two groups. ConclusionTongxinluo capsules can improve the degree of Qi deficiency in patients with chronic coronary syndrome in the short term， and the improvement effect of blood stasis syndrome appears in the medium and long term. They can better improve the Qi deficiency syndrome in the long term. Within one year， the incidence of MACE in the exposure group was lower than that in the non-exposure group.
