Heart and spleen deficiency syndrome is the most common syndrome type in patients with insomnia. Based on the theory of disease syndrome-combined animal model, this paper used multiple databases to search for the keywords "heart and spleen deficiency", "insomnia", "sleepless", "disease syndrome-combined animal model", "model evaluation", etc. It selected the literature related to the animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency in the past 20 years to evaluate from the aspects of model establishment, modeling factors, syndrome model, disease model, macro characterization & macro characterization evaluation scale, micro indicators, etc. It is found that the existing animal model of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency is not completely constructed by the method of disease syndrome combination of disease modeling factors and syndrome modeling factors. In the model using this method, the single establishment factor of heart and spleen deficiency does not conform to the clinical reality of disease, and the selection of the factors for the insomnia model is not closely related to or even separated from the syndrome performance. There is a problem of insufficient quantification of macro representation when the macro representation of the model replaces the symptoms related to heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and insomnia in an equivalent manner for macro representation evaluation, which can be improved according to the quantitative ideas and examples of the existing macro representation and macro representation evaluation scale. There are few specific indicators of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome in micro indicators. The micro research of heart and spleen deficiency syndrome and the essence of other traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes can be carried out by metabonomics and other technologies combined with the theory of corresponding prescription and syndrome, along the specific related ideas of "prescription and syndrome, treatment principle and selection of prescription, treatment principle and selection of acupoints, as well as therapeutic mechanism and syndrome essence". The future users and researchers of animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency can get improved methods and ideas through the shortcomings of animal models of heart and spleen deficiency listed in this paper and construct animal models of insomnia with heart and spleen deficiency that are more suitable for clinical practice, so as to establish a more perfect modeling method and evaluation system of disease syndrome-combined animal model.

Objective:To explore the prognostic value of a combined model of baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT tumor metabolic parameters and clinical factors for predicting progression-free survival (PFS) in Hodgkin′s lymphoma (HL). Methods:From January 2014 to May 2023, 171 HL patients (102 males, 69 females; median age 40 years) who underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT before treatment at the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University and Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were retrospectively collected. HL patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were classified as the training set (101 patients) and HL patients from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were classified as the validation set (70 patients). Clinical factors and tumor metabolic parameters associated with PFS were determined by multivariate Cox regression analysis, and then the combined model and the independent model of each factor were constructed respectively. The consistency index (C-index) and AUC were used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of models, and nomogram was constructed based on the optimal model, and calibration curves were used to assess the goodness of fit of the models. The differences in Kaplan-Meier survival curves of the high-risk and low-risk groups were compared using log-rank test. Results:The multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that the independent prognostic factors associated with PFS were the Lugano staging (hazard ratio ( HR)=3.10, 95% CI: 1.17-8.23, P=0.023), total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) ( HR=2.65, 95% CI: 1.23-5.74, P=0.014), and maximum distance between tumors ( Dmax) ( HR=2.23, 95% CI: 1.02-4.85, P=0.044). These factors were used to construct the combined model, with the highest prognostic efficacy of the C-index for the training and validation sets of 0.692 and 0.653, and the AUC of 0.732 and 0.697, respectively. The calibration curves demonstrated that the predictions made by the combined model were in high agreement with the actual results in both the training and validation sets. The Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a significantly lower PFS rate in the high-risk group compared to the low-risk group both in training and validation sets ( χ2 values: 5.88 and 4.52, P values: 0.015 and 0.033). Conclusion:The combined model incorporating tumor metabolic parameters and clinical factors improves prognostic efficacy in predicting PFS in HL patients.

Objective:To explore the value of baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT metabolic parameters and related clinical factors in the prognostic assessment of patients with angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL). Methods:From July 2013 to December 2023, 70 patients with AITL (44 males, 26 females, age (63.9±9.6) years) from Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital Clinical College of Nanjing Medical University (32 cases) as well as the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University (38 cases) who were diagnosed pathologically and underwent PET/CT imaging prior to treatment were retrospectively analyzed. PET/CT metabolic parameters (calculated using the 41%SUV max threshold method) and related clinical factors were collected. The optimal cut-off values of metabolic parameters were determined by using the ROC curve analysis. Cox proportional risk regression models were used for prognostic analyses, prediction models were constructed and efficacies were assessed by calibration curves and time-dependent ROC curves. Results:With the follow-up of 19.0(10.0, 33.3) months, disease progression or recurrence occurred in 51 patients, and 28 patients died. ROC curves showed that the optimal cut-off values on diagnosing AITL of total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), and SUV max were 767.1cm 3, 2159.6g and 13.0, respectively. TMTV (hazard ratio ( HR)=0.485, 95% CI: 0.252-0.935, P=0.031) and gender ( HR=0.441, 95% CI: 0.236-0.824, P=0.010) were independent risk factors for progression-free survival (PFS); TMTV ( HR=0.422, 95% CI: 0.178-0.997, P=0.049) and treatment regimen ( HR=0.346, 95% CI: 0.154-0.777, P=0.010) were independent risk factors for overall survival (OS). Time-dependent ROC curves indicated that the combined model of TMTV combining gender or treatment regimen had better prognostic results in predicting PFS (AUCs: 0.67-0.82) or OS (AUCs: 0.62-0.80) in patients with AITL. The calibration curve showed the predicted values of the combined models were in good consistency with the actual values. Conclusions:The metabolic parameter TMTV is an independent risk factor for PFS and OS in patients with AITL. The combined model of TMTV combining gender or treatment regimen can effectively improve the prognostic prediction efficacy of PFS or OS in patients with AITL.

ObjectiveTo explore the potential mechanisms of a baicalin-geniposide combination against cerebral ischemia using a network pharmacology strategy.MethodWe used network pharmacology integrating drug-target-disease interactions to identify key pathways which were validated in a rat middle cerebral artery occlusion model treated with baicalin (55 mg/kg), geniposide (5 mg/kg), or their 11:1 combination. Therapeutic efficacy and mechanistic insights were evaluated using triphenyltetrazolium chloride staining, Evans blue assay, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and Western blot.ResultsThe results revealed that the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway is inhibited in combination treatment of cerebral ischemia. Ten targets were identified as key nodes in the protein–protein interaction network: interleukin 6 (IL-6), interleukin-1β, interleukin 18, C–C motif ligand 2, C–C motif ligand 4, interleukin 10, interferon-γ-inducible protein 10, C–C motif ligand 3, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1α. The baicalin-geniposide combination significantly reduced infarct volume, improved neurological deficits, and alleviated brain edema/blood–brain barrier leakage compared with monotherapy. Additionally, it significantly inhibited toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/NF-κB signaling and downregulated pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 levels.ConclusionThe baicalin-geniposide combination alleviated cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by synergistically suppressing the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and its downstream inflammatory factors.

With the holistic concept of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)as the foundation,Professor ZHOU Yunfeng proposes the three-part Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)manipulation to treat insomnia by"taking the head and brain as the essential and simultaneously regulating the abdomen and back".Taking the theories of Ying-nutrient and Wei-defensive Qi,Zang-Fu organs,and meridians as evidence,this method primarily regulates the mind and concurrently modulates Zang-Fu organs.The three-part Tuina manipulation regulates the spirit by grasping the five meridians(Governor Vessel,Bladder Meridian of Foot Taiyang,and Gallbladder Meridian of Foot Shaoyang)and stimulating points such as Baihui(GV20),Yintang(GV29),Taiyang(EX-HN5),and Shenting(GV24);it regulates the abdomen by selecting Zhongwan(CV12),Shenque(CV8),Qihai(CV6),and Guanyuan(CV4),which means to calm the mind by regulating spleen-stomach Qi activities;it treats the back by selecting Jianjing(GB21),Xinshu(BL15),Pishu(BL20),Weishu(BL21),and Shenshu(BL23),which means to calm the mind by regulating Qi activities of the whole body.Mind regulation runs through the whole process of this manipulation,which combines points from three body regions to produce a synergistic effect,concurrently treating the three body parts,i.e.,the head,abdomen,and back,to mitigate the clinical symptoms and improve sleep quality in insomniacs.
