This paper summarizes the clinical experience in the syndrome differentiation and treatment of rosacea using the method of venting heat and resolving stagnation. It is considered that the key pathogenesis of rosacea is the accumulation of heat with stagnation. Accordingly, the method of venting heat and resolving stagnation is proposed, which vents and disperses constraint heat by applying approaches such as dredging defensive qi, clearing qi, venting ying (营) level, and cooling blood, while eliminating stagnation and masses through regulating qi, resolving dampness, dispelling phlegm and removing stasis. In clinical practice, a core prescription for venting heat and resolving stagnation is formulated, with flexible modifications made according to the clinical characteristics of different rosacea subtypes, including erythematotelangiectatic, papulopustular, phymatous, and ocular types, thereby providing therapeutic insights for the treatment of rosacea with traditional Chinese medicine.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized primarily by abdominal pain and altered defecation habits. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has made progress in multiple aspects of IBS research and treatment, including syndrome distribution, development of TCM formulas, clinical efficacy evaluation, external therapies, and psychosocial regulation. However, it still faces challenges such as over-reliance on symptomatic manifestations rather than biomarkers for diagnostic criteria, and the lack of high-quality evidence-based data supporting the efficacy of TCM formulas in treating IBS. This paper proposed that TCM diagnosis and treatment of IBS should adhere to the strategy of integrating the holistic concept with syndrome differentiation and treatment, combining TCM external therapies such as acupuncture, moxibustion and acupoint application), and emphasizing individualized diagnosis and treatment for psychosomatic abnormalities. Future research should integrate multi-omics technologies, artificial intelligence and other methods to deepen the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBS and the mechanisms of TCM formulas, so as to promote the standardization and internationalization of TCM in the diagnosis and treatment of IBS.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect of Huangkui capsules on targeted drug-related proteinuria in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data of HCC patients with targeted drug-related proteinuria from June 2023 to December 2024 at Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. According to the treatment plan, patients were divided into the conventional treatment group and the Huangkui combination treatment group (Huangkui capsules combined with conventional treatment), and the clinical efficacy between the two groups was compared. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the main factors affecting treatment efficacy. Results The Huangkui combination treatment group (n=29) showed a significantly higher overall effective rate (79.3% vs 42.3%, P=0.005), and an earlier proteinuria improvement (median time: 3 months vs 6 months, P=0.008) than the conventional treatment group (n=26) . The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or angiotensin Ⅱ receptor blocker (ARB) using (OR=0.190, 95%CI 0.045-0.808, P=0.025), targeted drug adjustment (OR=0.132, 95%CI 0.030-0.581, P=0.007), and Huangkui capsules using (OR=0.168, 95%CI 0.039-0.730, P=0.017) were protective factors for treatment efficacy of targeted drug-related proteinuria. Conclusions On the basis of conventional treatment, additive treatment with Huangkui capsules can alleviate targeted drug-related proteinuria faster and more effectively in HCC patients.

As an innovative form of combining traditional aromatherapy with modern nasal medicine delivery technology, "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" carries the theoretical essence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is "moving and channeling Qi and fragrance, dredging and awakening the mind". Based on the systematic records of olfactory therapies in ancient books in emergency care, disorders of consciousness, lung system, and gynecological diseases, this paper examines the historical evolution of its clinical application, and elucidates the profound historical basis and theoretical feasibility of "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" as a new form. Combined with the innovation and precise application of modern Chinese medicine olfactory agents in multi-system diseases such as nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases, this paper further analyzes the multi-dimensional mechanism of olfactory receptor pathway, olfactory brain pathway, nasal mucosal blood vessels, and lymphatic channels, and demonstrates its advantages of rapid onset, targeted brain entry, and systemic regulation. Under the background of continuous growth in the demand for external TCM treatment, continuous breakthroughs in the technology of nasal dosage forms, and increasingly accurate drug delivery paths, Chinese medicine olfactory agents have shown significant practical applicability and development potential. This study aims to provide theoretical support and practical direction for the system construction of this form.

In January 2023, a patient with soft tissue degloving defect of right index, middle, ring and little fingers was treated in the Department of Hand Surgery, Suzhou Ruihua Orthopaedic Hospital. Seven free flaps from a leg were harvested to reconstruct the defected wound of fingers in primary surgery. Flap thinning and plastic surgery were performed in stage-II surgery. Over the 22 months of postoperative follow-up, the flaps in right index, middle, ring and little fingers survived well with the colour and texture close to proximal skin. There was no obvious swelling of the flaps and sensation of the flaps recovered to S 3. The donor sites healed well and the donor leg walked normally.

Objective:To investigate the independent clinical factors of live birth rate of the first frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle after transcervical resection of adhesion (TCRA).Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of patients with intrauterine adhesion (IUA) who received FET in Reproductive Center of Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC-XIANGYA from January 2019 to June 2022 ( n=6 154). According to the severity of intrauterine adhesions in patients, they were classified into mild adhesions ( n=172), moderate adhesions ( n=5 723), and severe adhesions ( n=259). Based on the FET outcome, the patients were divided into live birth group and non-live birth group. The risk factors and protective factors of live birth were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results:1) No independent factor of live birth was found in the mild IUA group. 2) In the moderate IUA group, the protective factors of live birth included secondary infertility ( OR=1.39, 95% CI: 1.07-1.80, P=0.015), hysteroscopic polypectomy ( OR=1.38, 95% CI: 1.05-1.83, P=0.023), No. of high-quality embryos transferred (one embryo: OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.37-1.82, P<0.001; two embryos: OR=2.55, 95% CI: 1.80-3.64, P<0.001), two embryos transferred ( OR=1.77, 95% CI: 1.48-2.12, P<0.001), embryo stage (blastocyst transferred, OR=4.93, 95% CI: 3.68-6.63, P<0.001; blastocyst+cleavage transferred OR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.11-3.21, P=0.021), preimplantation genetic testing embryo ( OR=1.42, 95% CI: 1.19-1.69, P<0.001), endometrial thickness before transplantation ( OR=1.11, 95% CI: 1.07-1.15, P<0.001). Risk factors of live birth included female age ( OR=0.94, 95% CI: 0.92-0.96, P<0.001), infertility due to male factor ( OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.71-0.96, P=0.011), combined repeated implantation failure ( OR=0.60, 95% CI: 0.42-0.87, P=0.007), combined unicornuate uterus/uterus didelphys ( OR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.06-0.79, P=0.033), American Fertility Society score ( OR=0.94, 95% CI: 0.89-0.98, P=0.010), No. of TCRA ( OR=0.83, 95% CI: 0.77-0.90, P<0.001), gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists down-regulation combined with artificial cycle ( OR=0.56, 95% CI: 0.45-0.69, P<0.001), artificial cycle ( OR=0.62, 95% CI: 0.51-0.76, P<0.001). 3) In the severe IUA group, the risk factor of live birth was artificial cycle ( OR=0.25, 95% CI: 0.07-0.80, P=0.027). Conclusion:The clinical factors that affect the live birth outcome of the first FET cycle after TCRA have different results in patients with different degrees of adhesion. In patients with moderate adhesions, there are 17 clinical indicators that affect the live birth rate. In patients with severe adhesions, the artificial cycle is an independent factor affecting the live birth rate.
