Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， through its multi-target and systematic regulatory effects， has demonstrated unique advantages in the treatment of gastric precancerous lesions （GPL）. At present， TCM theoretical research on GPL is mainly reflected in three aspects， the integration of macroscopic syndrome differentiation， the inflammation-carcinoma transformation mechanism， as well as the systematization and scientization of theoretical inheritance from famous TCM practitioners. High-quality evidence-based research findings serve as the foundation for clinical practice guidelines on GPL， and TCM has gained international academic recognition in the field of GPL prevention and treatment. Research on TCM mechanisms has yielded a series of important outcomes in the aspects of signaling pathways， gene expression regulation， cellular epigenetics， histone modification， and intestinal microecology. It is proposed that future research on GPL should focus on four key directions， establishing multi-omics data， exploring targeted intervention strategies on key regulatory nodes， advancing the standardization process of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine prevention and treatment technologies， and constructing stratified screening and intervention platforms. The in-depth integration of TCM microcosmic mechanism of action with its macroscopic syndrome differentiation and treatment system， coupled with interdisciplinary research， will provide valuable references for the clinical treatment and scientific research of GPL.

Diabetic foot ulcer （DFU） is one of the most severe and costly complications of diabetes， with its refractory nature largely attributed to the persistent vicious cycle of inflammation and oxidative stress. Conventional single-target therapeutic strategies often fail to effectively break this cycle. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， leveraging its unique philosophy of ''holistic regulation and multi-target intervention''， has demonstrated significant advantages in promoting DFU healing. This review introduced a ''systemic intervention'' perspective to systematically elucidate how TCM， through multi-component synergistic networks， precisely deconstructs and intervenes in this pathological loop. Firstly， this study provided an in-depth analysis of how， under hyperglycemic conditions， the crosstalk between the nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） and NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain-containing protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammasome pathways， the imbalance in macrophage polarization and the disruption of redox homeostasis interact to form a self-sustaining vicious cycle that impedes wound repair. Subsequently， the core content systematically discussed the strategies by which TCM breaks this deadlock： （1） Active ingredients from single herbs （e.g.， luteolin and astragaloside Ⅳ） can precisely modulate key nodes such as the phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt） and TLR4/NF-κB pathways， thereby suppressing inflammation and oxidative stress. （2） Classical compound formulas （e.g.， Simiao Yong'an decoction and Taohong Siwu decoction） synergistically improve microcirculation and the immune microenvironment through multi-component cooperation. （3） External preparations （e.g.， Shengji Yuhong Ointment and Jinhuang powder） potently exert local anti-inflammatory and pro-repair effects by activating pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase 1 （Nrf2/HO-1）. Collectively， these three modalities embody a synergistic mechanism characterized by ''internal treatment modulating the internal milieu to address the root cause， and external treatment targeting the lesion to alleviate symptoms''.” Existing clinical evidence has confirmed that the aforementioned multi-target interventions can effectively promote healing and improve symptoms. However， this field still faces persistent challenges， including an unclear material basis for the efficacy of compound formulas， and insufficient standardization in quality control and clinical protocols. These challenges stem from the inherent tension between the complex systems-based characteristics of TCM and the requirements of modern standardization. Future efforts urgently require to leverage cutting-edge technologies， such as network pharmacology， spatial multi-omics， and artificial intelligence to propel the paradigm shift in the prevention and treatment of DFU with TCM from ''empirical multi-target approaches'' toward ''precise systems regulation''. This will provide a theoretical foundation for developing innovative strategies for managing difficult-to-heal wounds based on an integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine approach.

Objective: The efficacy of antidepressants is influenced by a combination of genetic, individual, and environmental factors. This study aimed to investigate the association between the miR-182 rs76481776 polymorphism and the response to antidepressant treatment in major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, and its underlying molecular mechanisms. Methods: This study enrolled 180 MDD patients and 180 healthy controls. The rs76481776 genotype was determined using TaqMan-based qPCR. The severity of depression and treatment response were assessed using the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAMD). The expression of miR-182 and BDNF was measured using RT-qPCR. The regulatory relationship between miR-182 and BDNF was confirmed through a luciferase reporter gene assay. The correlation between miR-182 and BDNF expression was evaluated using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The T allele of rs76481776 was a significant risk factor for MDD (OR = 2.182, 95% CI: 1.424−3.345, p ＜ 0.001) and was significantly associated with higher baseline scores on the HAMD. Moreover, individuals carrying the T allele (CT/TT genotype) exhibited a significantly poorer response to antidepressant treatment and a lower remission rate within 12 months compared to those with the CC genotype (p ＜ 0.05). Mechanistically, miR-182 was highly expressed in patients with MDD (p ＜ 0.05), and its expression was even higher in T allele carriers (p ＜ 0.05). miR-182 could directly target and suppress BDNF, leading to decreased BDNF expression in MDD patients, and its expression was significantly and inversely correlated with BDNF expression. Conclusion The T allele of rs76481776 diminished the therapeutic efficacy of antidepressants by up-regulating miR-182 expression and subsequently suppressing BDNF expression.

Objective To explore the effect of remote ischemic conditioning(RIC)combined with binaural beat music(BBM)train-ing in patients with cognitive dysfunction after cerebral infarction.Methods From June,2024 to January,2025,200 patients with cognitive dysfunction after cerebral infarction in the Affil-iated Hospital of North China University of Science and Technology were randomly divided into control group(n=50),RIC group(n=50),BBM group(n=50)and combined group(n=50).All the groups received stan-dardized routine training,RIC group received RIC,BBM group received BBM,and the combined group received RIC+BBM,for 14 days.They were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)and Stroke-Specific Quality of Life Scale(SS-QOL)at baseline,day 14,and day 90.Results Two cases in the control group,four in RIC group,three in BBM group and three in the combined group dropped out.For MoCA scores,the inter-group effect,intra-group effect and interaction effect were all significant(F>13.463,P<0.001).After intervention,on both day 14 and day 90,the score of MoCA was higher in each in-tervention group than in the control group(P<0.05),and was higher in the combined group than in both BBM and RIC groups(P<0.05);and on day 90,it was higher in RIC group than in BBM group(P<0.05).For SS-QOL,the score increased with time in all the groups(χ2>75.182,P<0.001).After intervention,there was signif-icant difference at each time point among four groups(H>18.260,P<0.001).On day 14 and day 90,the score of SS-QOL was higher in the combined group than in the control and BBM groups(|Z|>3.149,P<0.05);on day 90,the score was higher in RIC group than in the control group(|Z|=3.590,P<0.05),and it was higher in the combined group than in RIC group(|Z|=3.186,P<0.05).Conclusion RIC,BBM and their combination all improved cognitive function after cerebral infarction.RIC was superior to BBM,and the combined intervention yielded the greatest benefit.Both RIC and the combined intervention im-proved quality of life,with the combined approach being the most effective.

Objective:To explore the mediating role of dietary health beliefs in the relationship between family functioning and the frequency of sugar-containing food intake among adolescents with dental caries, in order to clarify the underlying mechanism through which dietary health beliefs influence caries-related dietary behaviors via family factors.Methods:Using convenience sampling method, we selected adolescents patients diagnosed with dental caries and their parents who visited the Affiliated Stomatological Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from July to September 2023 as the research subjects. Conducted a cross-sectional survey using a general information questionnaire, Family Functioning Scale, Adolescent Dietary Health Belief Scale, and Sugar-Sweetened Diet Intake Frequency Scale. Mediation analysis was conducted.Results:A total of 475 questionnaires were distributed, and 460 valid responses were obtained, yielding a valid response rate of 96.84%. Among the 460 adolescent patients, 306 were female and 154 were male, with a mean age of (13.42 ± 1.17) years old. The mother's age was (40.28 ± 4.24) years old, and the father's age was (42.12 ± 4.48) years old. The score for the frequency of sugar-containing food intake was 15.95 ± 5.34, the dietary health belief score was 75.57 ± 18.62, and the family functioning score was 174.24 ± 25.39. Family functioning was positively correlated with dietary health beliefs ( r = 0.428, P<0.05), and negatively correlated with the frequency of sugar-containing food intake ( r = -0.225, P<0.05). Dietary health beliefs were negatively correlated with the frequency of sugar-containing food intake ( r = -0.332, P<0.05). The mediating effect of dietary health beliefs on the relationship between family functioning and sugar-containing food intake frequency was -0.332, accounting for 43.92% of the total effect. Conclusions:Dietary health beliefs play a partial mediating role between family function and the frequency of sugary diet intake. It is suggested that family function construction should be strengthened to improve adolescents' health beliefs and reduce the incidence of dental caries.

Objective:To explore the effectiveness of find-organize-clarify-understand- select-plan-do-check-act (FOCUS-PDCA) cycle management in improving the accuracy of Nutritional Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) scoring in inpatients.Methods:This study was a retrospective study. Data from a continuous quality improvement project, namely Improving the Accuracy of Nutritional Risk Screening for Inpatients from People's Hospital of Longhua in 2021 were selected. The NRS 2002 scores of newly admitted patients from 8 departments with relatively high nutritional risk (departments of gstroenterology, neurology, nephrology, respiratory medicine, oncology and hematology, neurosurgery, gastrointestinal surgery, and critical care medicine) from April 10, 2021 to April 29, 2021 (before intervention) were collected. The NRS 2002 scores were evaluated by a multidisciplinary nutrition support team in terms of accuracy and error types. Possible issues in the process of nutritional screening were analyzed and mitigated using the FOCUS-PDCA cycle management method. The NRS 2002 scores from July 18, 2021 to August 8, 2021 (after intervention) were collected in real time to summary the data on accuracy and error types and to evaluate the effect of FOCUS-PDCA.Results:The accuracy of NRS 2002 score in the 8 departments was increased from 52.97% (294/555) to 81.13% (473/583) after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=102.606, P<0.001). The accuracy of nutritional status impairment score was 64.14% before intervention, compared with 90.57% after intervention ( χ2=114.484, P<0.001). The accuracy of disease severity score was 78.56%, compared with 89.54% after intervention( χ2=25.736, P<0.001). The false-negative rate was 68.02% before intervention and 31.87% after intervention, and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=31.501, P<0.001). Conclusion:FOCUS-PDCA can improve the accuracy of NRS 2002 scoring in inpatients, reduce the risk of failing to identify patients at nutritional risk, and contribute to further nutritional diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the current status and barriers to implementing non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province,and to provide a basis for the improvement of standardized management of such services.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was conducted from September to October 2024 among all secondary and tertiary medical institutions in Zhejiang Province to assess the implementation status and barriers to non-accompanied care services.Results A total of 397 questionnaires were distributed,with 389 valid responses,yielding a valid response rate of 97.98％.Non-accompanied care services were implemented in 118 institutions(30.33％).Among these,90 institutions(76.27％)had established management systems for non-accompanied wards;71 institutions(60.17％)had a medical nursing assistant-to-bed ratio lower than 1∶5;41 institu-tions(34.75％)provided tiered training for medical nursing assistants;93 institutions(78.81％)required patients to bear the full cost of the service.Compared with secondary medical institutions,tertiary medical institutions have more complete management system for non-accompanied care services.The main obstacles hindering the development of non-accompanied care services include an imperfect management system for non-accompanied wards,a shortage of medical nursing assistants,a lack of standardized training for such assistants,inconsistent charging standards,and low acceptance among patients and their families.Conclusion The promotion of non-accompanied care services in medical institutions in Zhejiang Province has achieved initial success.However,challenges persist,including incomplete management systems,uneven development across hospital tiers,and imperfect charging mechanisms.It is recommended that relevant authorities strengthen policy support,enhance standardized training for healthcare nursing assistants,refine cost-sharing mechanisms,and improve the quality and sustainability of non-accompanied care services through multi-party collaboration.

Objective To observe changes of dynamic functional connectivity(dFC)of brain networks in different stages of Parkinson disease(PD).Methods Totally 52 early-stage PD patients(early PD group),36 late-stage PD patients(late PD group)and 38 healthy controls(HC group)were prospectively enrolled,and resting-state functional MRI were performed.The sliding window,independent component analysis and k-means clustering were used to extract dFC intensity and temporal properties,including fractional windows,dwell time and transition frequency.Results Network connectivity patterns within and between visual network(VIS),sensorimotor network(SMN),default mode network(DMN),cerebellar network(CB)and cognitive executive network(CEN)were altered in PD patients.Four dFC states were identified,in which connections between components in states Ⅰ and Ⅱ were compact,while in states Ⅲ and Ⅳ were sparse.The fractional window and dwell time of late PD group,early PD group and HC group successively increased under state Ⅱ,but successively decreased under state Ⅲ(all P＜0.05).Under state Ⅰ and Ⅳ,no significant difference of fractional window nor dwell time was found between early PD group and late PD group(both P＞0.05),and the above indexes under state Ⅰ were both lower than those in HC group(all P＜0.05),the fraction window under state Ⅳ was higher than that in HC group(both P＜0.05).Conclusion The temporal properties of dFC in PD patients were altered,characterized by increased tendency toward segregated states.Furthermore,fractional windows and dwell time were associated with PD disease stages,suggesting that dFC parameters might serve as novel biomarkers for assessing clinical progression of PD.

Objective To elucidate the mechanism through which Gypenoside L inhibits the growth of colon cancer by modulating carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B (CPT1B),a pivotal enzyme in the fatty acid metabolism pathway. Methods Through in vitro experiments,various concentrations of Gypenoside LI LI were applied to inter-vene in colon cancer RKO and SW620 cells. The effects of Gypenoside LI on these cells were comprehensively evalu-ated using the CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay,colony formation assay,and live-dead cell staining,focusing on its impact on cell proliferation,migration,and apoptosis. Additionally,a human colon cancer tissue microarray (TMA) was utilized in conjunction with multiplex fluorescence immunohistochemistry to analyze the expression of CPT1B in colon cancer and adjacent tissues. SW620 cells were transfected with siRNA,and the mRNA and protein expression levels of CPT1B post-transfection were assessed using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and Western blotting. Furthermore,an in vivo nude mouse colon cancer model was established to investigate the inhibitory effect of Gypenoside LI LI on colon cancer growth. Results In vitro experiments demonstrated that Gypenoside LI LI effectively inhibited the proliferation and migration of RKO and SW620 cells in a concentration-and time-dependent manner. Additionally,multiple fluorescence immunohistochemistry analyses revealed that the expression level of CPT1B in colon cancer tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent non-tumor tissues. Gypenoside LI LI promoted ROS accumulation by inhibiting CPT1B expression. In vivo experiments further confirmed that Gypenoside LI LI could inhibit tumor formation in nude mice and reduce CPT1B expression. Conclusions This study elucidates the mechanism by which Gypenoside LI inhibits the growth of colon cancer cells. Specifically,it downregulates CPT1B,leading to increased accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS),disruption of fatty acid oxidation metabolism,and ultimately inducing apoptosis in colon cancer cells. These findings offer valuable insights into colon cancer treatment,suggesting new therapeutic strategies and potential drug targets.
