The concept of holism is the core idea of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. Various organs and tissues coordinate with each other to maintain the body's life activities， with a close and mutual influence between the spleen， stomach， and the central nervous system （brain）. The gut-brain axis plays an important bridging role between the digestive system and the central nervous system， achieving bidirectional information exchange between the brain and the gastrointestinal tract through complex neuroendocrine and immune mechanisms. The theory of cross-organ interaction involves the mutual influence， coordination， and integration between different organs and systems； multimodality， on the other hand， utilizes multiple sensory modalities， such as vision， hearing， and touch， to convey information. By combining TCM theory with the gut-brain axis theory， a cross-organ multimodal characterization system is established to explore its mechanism and application value in refractory diseases such as functional gastrointestinal disorders， precancerous gastrointestinal diseases， Alzheimer's disease， Parkinson's syndrome， type 2 diabetes， and depression.

Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease(CHD)is an ischemic cardiovascular condition caused by the narrowing or blockage of the vascular lumen due to coronary atherosclerosis.Clinically,it presents as angina pectoris,heart failure,or sud-den cardiac death,and stands as one of the primary causes of mortality among both urban and rural populations in China.Cir-cRNA,classified as non-coding RNAs,can function as upstream regulatory molecules for miRNA or RNA-binding proteins.They actively participate in various pathological processes associated with CHD,including endothelial cell dysfunction,smooth mus-cle cell migration,macrophage-derived foam cell formation,an-giogenesis,myocardial injury,and repair,as well as post-in-farction heart failure.The expression pattern of these molecules is highly specific to the illness and tissue,indicating their poten-tial as therapeutic targets for disease management and as biomar-kers.Furthermore,they also open up new avenues for drug tar-get development in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.This article aims to provide an overview of the recent research progress on circRNA in the regulation of coronary heart disease,as well as the mechanisms involved in traditional Chinese medi-cine.It serves as a valuable reference for future research on cor-onary heart disease.

Objective To monitor the antifungal resistance of clinical isolates of Candida spp.in the East China region.Methods MALDI-TOF MS or molecular methods were used to re-identify the strains collected from January 2018 to December 2022.Antifungal susceptibility testing was performed using the broth microdilution method.The susceptibility test results were interpreted according to the breakpoints of 2022 Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI)documents M27 M44s-Ed3 and M57s-Ed4.Results A total of 3 026 strains of Candida were collected,65.33％of which were isolated from sterile body sites,mainly from blood(38.86％)and pleural effusion/ascites(10.21％).The predominant species of Candida were Candida albicans(44.51％),followed by Candida parapsilosis complex(19.46％),Candida tropicalis(13.98％),Candida glabrata(10.34％),and other Candida species(0.79％).Candida albicans showed overall high susceptibility rates to the 10 antifungal drugs tested(the lowest rate being 93.62％).Only 2.97％of the strains showed dose-dependent susceptibility(SDD)to fluconazole.Candida parapsilosis complex had a SDD rate of 2.61％and a resistance rate of 9.42％to fluconazole,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida glabrata had a SDD rate of 92.01％and a resistance rate of 7.99％to fluconazole,resistance rates of 32.27％and 48.24％to posaconazole and voriconazole non-wild-type strains(NWT),respectively,and susceptibility rates above 90％to other drugs.Candida tropicalis had resistance rates of 29.55％and 26.24％to fluconazole and voriconazole,respectively,resistance rates of 76.60％and 21.99％to posaconazole and echinocandins non-wild-type strains(NWT),and a resistance rate of 2.36％to echinocandins.Conclusions The prevalence and species distribution of Candida spp.in the East China region are consistent with previous domestic and international reports.Candida glabrata exhibits certain degree of resistance to fluconazole,while Candida tropicalis demonstrates higher resistance to triazole drugs.Additionally,echinocandins resistance has emerged in Candida albicans,Candida glabrata,Candida tropicalis,and Candida parapsilosis.

Objective:To investigate the effects of visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis and transcutaneous low-frequency electrical stimulation(TES)on hypoxia-induced ED in high-altitude areas.Methods:This study included 152 ED pa-tients from high-altitude hypoxic areas treated by TES based on the parameters obtained from visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis.We followed up the patients for 1 to 3 months and compared their ⅡEF-5 scores,nocturnal penile tumescence and rigidity(NPTR)and infrared thermal metabolic technology(TMT)-based temperature of the whole body and diseased parts before and after treatment.Results:All the patients successfully completed 1 to 3 courses of TES.There were no statistically significant differences in the ⅡEF-5 scores(P＜0.05)and penile tip optimal erection rigidity and duration(P＜0.01)of the patients before and after treat-ment.TMT images indicated a temperature change of＞1.5 ℃ in the penis and bilateral inguinal regions after treatment,suggesting the effectiveness of electrical stimulation.No recurrence was observed during the follow-up.Conclusion:TES based on the parame-ters obtained from visualized precision electrophysiological diagnosis has a definite effect on hypoxia-induced ED by enhancing oxygen supply to the penile corpus cavernosum and improving its function and structure.

AIM To explore the mechanism of Dabugan Decoction's action on a rat model of generalized anxiety disorder(GAD).METHODS The rat models established by 21 days exposure to chronic unpredictable mild stress(CUMS)were then randomly divided into the model group,the paroxetine group(1.8 mg/kg)and the high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose Dabugan Decoction groups(13.2,6.6 and 3.3 g/kg),in contrast to the other normal rats assigned into the blank group,for the following 28 days administration of the corresponding drugs by gavage.After the intervention,the rats had their anxiety intensity analyzed by behavioral tests;their hippocampal pathological changes and Nissl's body differences observed by HE staining and Nissl staining;their cerebral ROS activity detected by immunofluorescence;their hippocampal activities of SOD and CAT,and levels of MDA and GSH detected by kit;and their hippocampal mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2,Keap1,HO-1,NQO1,BDNF,5-HT1A,caspase-3 and GSH detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS Compared with the model group,the Dabugan Decoction groups displayed improved anxiety responses;increased movement distance at the open arm end and total distance as well,more entries and duration at the open box,more time and entries at the open field center in elevated plus maze(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased number of hippocampal neurons,ameliorated cell body damage,increased Nissl bodies in cells,decreased hippocampal ROS activity and MDA level(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased activities of SOD and CAT,and GSH level(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);increased hippocampal mRNA and protein expressions of Nrf2,HO-1,NQO1,BDNF and 5-HT1A(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),and decreased mRNA and protein expressions of p62,Keap1 and caspase-3(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).CONCLUSION Dabugan Decoction can effectively improve the anxiety of GAD rats,and its mechanism may be related to the recovery of oxidative stress-induced injury in hippocampal neurons via ROS/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To retrospectively analyze the treatment status of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in newly diagnosed patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in China.Methods:Data of chronic phase (CP) and accelerated phase (AP) CML patients diagnosed from January 2006 to December 2022 from 77 centers, ≥18 years old, and receiving initial imatinib, nilotinib, dasatinib or flumatinib-therapy within 6 months after diagnosis in China with complete data were retrospectively interrogated. The choice of initial TKI, current TKI medications, treatment switch and reasons, treatment responses and outcomes as well as the variables associated with them were analyzed.Results:6 893 patients in CP ( n=6 453, 93.6%) or AP ( n=440, 6.4%) receiving initial imatinib ( n=4 906, 71.2%), nilotinib ( n=1 157, 16.8%), dasatinib ( n=298, 4.3%) or flumatinib ( n=532, 7.2%) -therapy. With the median follow-up of 43 ( IQR 22-75) months, 1 581 (22.9%) patients switched TKI due to resistance ( n=1 055, 15.3%), intolerance ( n=248, 3.6%), pursuit of better efficacy ( n=168, 2.4%), economic or other reasons ( n=110, 1.6%). The frequency of switching TKI in AP patients was significantly-higher than that in CP patients (44.1% vs 21.5%, P<0.001), and more AP patients switched TKI due to resistance than CP patients (75.3% vs 66.1%, P=0.011). Multi-variable analyses showed that male, lower HGB concentration and ELTS intermediate/high-risk cohort were associated with lower cytogenetic and molecular responses rate and poor outcomes in CP patients; higher WBC count and initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher response rates; Ph + ACA at diagnosis, poor PFS. However, Sokal intermediate/high-risk cohort was only significantly-associated with lower CCyR and MMR rates and the poor PFS. Lower HGB concentration and larger spleen size were significantly-associated with the lower cytogenetic and molecular response rates in AP patients; initial the second-generation TKI treatment, the higher treatment response rates; lower PLT count, higher blasts and Ph + ACA, poorer TFS; Ph + ACA, poorer OS. Conclusion:At present, the vast majority of newly-diagnosed CML-CP or AP patients could benefit from TKI treatment in the long term with the good treatment responses and survival outcomes.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the application value of Th1/Th2 cytokines,interleukin-17(IL-17)and serum tumor markers in the diagnosis,prognosis and recurrence of breast cancer.Methods:A total of 200 patients with breast cancer admitted to Inner Mongolia Hospital of Peking University Cancer Hospital from December 2021 to December 2022 were selected,and they were divided into negative group(60 cases),weakly positive(80 cases)group and positive group(60 cases)according to immunohistochemistry indicators.In addition,another 60 persons who underwent physical examination were selected as healthy control group.The changes of the Th1/Th2,IL-17,CA125,CYFRA21-1,CA153 and CEA levels were observed,and the clinical value of the combined detection of the 6 indicators in predicting the prognosis and recurrence of breast cancer was investigated.Results:The results of comparative analysis indicated that the clinical pathological features related to recurrence,histological grading,tumor diameter and lymph node metastasis(x2=7.552,12.037,12.063,8.543,P＜0.05),respectively.Multivariate analysis showed that tumor recurrence,tissue grading,tumor diameter and lymph node metastasis were the important factors for the prognosis of patients with breast cancer(OR=3.096,3.050,3.425,3.031,P＜0.05).Compared with the single prediction of Th1/Th2,IL-17,CA125,CYFRA21-1,CA153 and CEA,the combined prediction of 6 indicators had higher clinical value for prognosis and recurrence of patients with breast cancer,which sensitivity,accuracy and specificity were respectively 96%,93.46%and 85%.Conclusion:The observation on the changes of the combined predictive levels of 6 items,which include Th1/Th2,IL-17,CA125,CYFRA21-1,CA153 and CEA of patients,indicates that the combined detection has high sensitivity and accuracy.This highly efficient and convenient detection method can provide references for improving the prognosis,reducing the recurrence and enhancing the accuracy of assessment.
