This paper has summarized current studies on retinitis pigmentosa (RP) from two perspectives, which were disease mechanism insights from western medicine, and etiology, pathogenesis and therapeutic principles in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). From the perspective of western medicine, the understanding of RP has evolved from an early single-factor explanation focusing on pathogenic gene mutations to a more comprehensive, multifactorial model involving genetic abnormalities, photoreceptor cell degeneration, retinal pigment epithelium dysfunction, oxidative stress, inflammatory responses, microenvironmental imbalance, and vascular insufficiency. In TCM, RP is considered to be a disorder manifested in the eyes but rooted in dysfunction of the zang-fu (脏腑) organs. Its pathogenesis is primarily associated with congenital insufficiency, liver-kidney depletion, impaired spleen function of transportation and transformation, and stasis obstructing the meridians. The core pathological mechanism can be summarized as "deficiency complicated by stasis", emphasizing holistic imbalance, dynamic disease progression, and syndrome differentiation and treatment. The differences and complementarities between the two medical systems in understanding disease progression are further discussed. RP is proposed to be more appropriately regarded as a complex disease characterized by long-term progression, stage-dependent evolution, and persistent decompensation. Western medicine contributes to elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying RP and provides the foundation for targeted therapeutic interventions, whereas TCM offers a holistic perspective for understanding disease evolution through the assessment of overall functional status, disease-stage stratification, and long-term syndrome-based regulation.

OBJECTIVE To systematically review the key regulatory requirements for pharmacy compounding drug products in the United States, and to provide references for improving the management framework of pharmacy compounding drug products in China, thereby ensuring the safety and accessibility of medication use. METHODS A literature revi ew was conducted to summarize the regulatory requirements and practical characteristics of pharmacy compounding drug products under Section 503A of the United States Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act . Based on regulatory experience of the United States, current status and existing deficiencies in pharmacy compounding drug products in China were analyzed, and targeted recommendations were proposed. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS The United States has established a systematic regulatory framework for pharmacy compounding drug products under Section 503A, covering prescription management, active pharmaceutical ingredient management, list management of withdrawn or removed drugs and drugs that present demonstrable difficulties for compounding, recordkeeping management, interstate distribution and so on. Through standardized regulation of the entire compounding process and collaborative governance with expert advisory committees, this framework effectively balances individualized medication needs with drug quality and safety. In contrast, pharmacy compounding drug products in China remain largely confined to traditional Chinese medicine and face several challenges, including the lack of legal and regulatory support, inadequate quality control, lagging development of industry standards, and shortages of specialized personnel. It is recommended that China should establish a tiered regulatory system, develop comprehensive technical standards, build a localized regulatory framework, promote technological innovation, and strengthen professional talent cultivation to better balance the legitimate rights and interests of public medication use with drug safety and efficacy, thereby enhancing public health.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of lymphoma mortality and potential years of life lost among Wuhan residents, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and control of lymphoma. Methods Data on lymphoma deaths among residents in Wuhan from 2010 to 2019 were collected from the population-based Wuhan Mortality Surveillance System. Joinpoint regression model was used to evaluate the trends in age-standardized mortality rates and potential years of life lost due to lymphoma among the residents of different ages and genders. Potential years of life lost rate was used to assess the disease burden. Results There were 4 055 deaths (2481in male and 1 574 in female) from major kidney diseases in Wuhan residents between 2010 to 2019, with an age-standardized mortality rate of 5.11/100 000. The mortality rate of major kidney diseases showed an upward trend with increasing age. Between 2010 and 2019, the age-standardized mortality rates of the multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma were significantly increased (APC=6.924%, APC=1.407%, P<0.05), and the potential years of life lost rate of non-Hodgkin lymphoma in female were significantly increased (APC=7.935%,P<0.05). Conclusion From 2010 to 2019, the mortality rate of lymphoma among residents of Wuhan City shows an upward trend, especially for multiple myeloma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The disease burden of multiple myeloma shows an increasing trend in the female population, suggesting the need to take corresponding preventive and control measures.
