This paper summarizes Professor WANG Xixing's clinical experience in treating immune checkpoint inhibitor-related pneumonitis （CIP） based on the theory of "cough attributed to the five zang （脏） organs". Cough is a common predominant symptom of CIP. According to the theory of "cough attributed to the five zang organs"， drug toxicity triggers cancer toxin， leading to disharmony among the five zang organs， and then lung failing to diffuse and govern descent as the core pathogenesis. Therefore， treatment should focus on harmonizing the five zang organs to restore the normal function of lung qi to diffuse and govern descent. In clinical practice， CIP can be classified into four syndrome patterns， including lung yin depletion， deficiency of both the lung and the spleen with phlegm-dampness， liver fire harassing the lung， and lung-kidney yin deficiency. Correspondingly， Chaimai Jinluo Runfei Decoction （柴麦金络润肺汤） is used to nourish yin and moisten the lung； Qigui Peitu Huayin Decoction （芪桂培土化饮汤） is used to fortify the spleen and tonify the lung， resolve dampness and dispel phlegm； Chaidan Shuyu Runjin Decoction （柴丹疏郁润金汤） is used to drain liver and clear the lung； and Dimai Jinshui Xiangsheng Decoction （地脉金水相生汤） is used to nourish the kidney and moisten the lung.

Esophageal cancer is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive tract in China, and radical surgery remains the cornerstone of its comprehensive treatment. However, multifactorial challenges such as postoperative gastrointestinal tract reconstruction, traumatic stress, and tumor-related metabolic disturbances render esophageal cancer patients highly susceptible to malnutrition. Perioperative nutritional support therapy plays a crucial role in enhancing surgical safety, improving clinical outcomes, and elevating patients' quality of life by regulating metabolic homeostasis, preserving organ function, and optimizing the immune microenvironment. This article reviews the mechanisms underlying malnutrition in esophageal cancer, methods for nutritional status assessment, and precision intervention pathways based on multi-omics evaluations. The aim is to strengthen clinicians' awareness of standardized perioperative nutritional management for esophageal cancer patients and promote its clinical implementation, thereby facilitating postoperative recovery and improving long-term quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To establish the high-performance liquid chromatography （HPLC） fingerprint of Sagina japonica ， and to establish a quantitative analysis of multi-components by single-marker （QAMS） method for simultaneous determination of six componen ts in S. japonica ， aiming to provide references for the quality control of this medicinal herb. METHODS HPLC method was used to establish the fingerprints of 12 batches （No. S1-S12） of S . japonica according to Similarity Evaluation System of Chromatographic Fingerprint of Traditional Chinese Medicine . The similarity evaluation and identification of common peaks were conducted， followed by cluster analysis （CA） and principal component analysis （PCA） for 12 batches of samples. Using vicenin-2 as internal reference， the contents of p-hydroxy cinnamic acid， apigenin-6-C-arabinoside-8-C-glucoside， isoorientin， vitexin and 20-hydroxyecdysone were determined by QAMS method. The results were then compared with those obtained by the external standard method. RESULTS The similarities of HPLC fingerprints for 12 batches of S . japonica ranged from 0.828-0.998. A total of 17 common peaks were calibrated， and 6 common peaks were identified. Specifically， peak 5 was identified as vicenin-2， peak 7 as p-hydroxycinnamic acid， peak 10 as apigenin-6-C-arabinoside-8-C-glucoside， peak 11 as isoorientin， peak 13 as vitexin， and peak 15 as 20-hydroxyecdysone. The results of CA showed that S1-S5， S7 and S9-S11 were clustered into one category， S6 was clustered into one category， and S8 and S12 were clustered into one category. The results of PCA revealed that the accumulative contribution rate of the four main components was 89.430%. The content ranges measured by QAMS method for p-hydroxy cinnamic acid， apigenin-6-C-arabinoside-8-C-glucoside， isoorientin， vitexin and 20-hydroxyecdysone were 0.017 4-0.269 4， 0.568 8-4.240 3， 0.503 2-5.040 3， 0.024 0-0.132 0 and 2.551 3-4.881 1 mg/g， respectively. There was no significant difference in the contents of components measured between QAMS method and the external standard method （ P ＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The established HPLC fingerprint and QAMS method can be used for quality evaluation and quality control of S . japonica.

Objective: To analyze the impact of premature death due to four major chronic diseases on life expectancy in Yangpu District, Shanghai Municipality from 2010 to 2021, so as to provide the evidence for formulating chronic disease prevention and control strategies. Methods : Mortality data of registered residents in Yangpu District from 2010 to 2021 were collected through the Death Information Registration and Management System of the Shanghai Municipal Disease Control and Prevention Information Management Platform. The premature death probability of malignant tumors, diabetes, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and chronic respiratory diseases, and life expectancy of residents were calculated using the abridged life table method. Trends in premature death probability for four types of chronic diseases were analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). The impact of premature death probability due to four chronic diseases on life expectancy was assessed by Arriaga's decomposition method. Results : The premature death probability due to four major chronic diseases in Yangpu District decreased from 9.88% in 2010 to 9.22% in 2021, showing an overall declining trend (AAPC=-0.540%, P<0.05). Among females, the premature death probability declined from 6.71% to 4.90% (AAPC=-2.715%, P<0.05), whereas no statistically significant trend was observed in males (P>0.05). Life expectancy increased from 82.52 years in 2010 to 84.50 years in 2021, with an overall upward trend (AAPC=0.244%, P<0.05). Life expectancy rose by 1.71 years for males and 2.34 years for females (AAPC=0.197% and 0.303%,both P<0.05). Declines in premature death probability from malignant tumors (AAPC=-0.967%, P< 0.05) and chronic respiratory diseases (AAPC=-3.071%, P<0.05) contributed to gains in life expectancy of 0.30 years and 0.03 years, with contribution rates of 12.18% and 1.29%, respectively. Changes in premature death probability due to diabetes as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases were not statistically significant (both P>0.05), resulting in reductions in life expectancy of 0.05 years and 0.10 years, with contribution rates of -2.40% and -5.05%, respectively. Notably, an increase in premature death probability due to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among males (AAPC=1.673%) contributed to a decrease of 0.22 years in male life expectancy, whereas a decrease among females (AAPC=-3.824%) contributed to an increase of 0.03 years in female life expectancy, with contribution rates of -13.03% and 1.14%, respectively. Conclusions From 2010 to 2021, Yangpu District experienced an overall decline in premature death probability due to four major chronic diseases and an increase in life expectancy. Greater attention should be paid to the negative impacts of premature death probability from diabetes as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases among males on life expectancy.

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical and phenomics characteristics of patients with phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns in stable angina pectoris （SAP） of coronary heart disease （CHD）. MethodsA multicenter cross-sectional study design was adopted. A total of 300 patients with SAP of CHD were enrolled and classified into 120 cases of phlegm-stasis binding syndrome， 125 cases of qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome， 38 cases of qi stagnation-accompanied syndrome， and 17 cases of toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome according to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） patterns. Data of patients with different TCM patterns were collected， including general condition， TCM symptoms， blood lipids， coagulation function， immune indicators， and serum metabolomics. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was used to compare differences in phenomics characteristics among groups. Metabolites with variable importance in projection （VIP） ≥1 and fold change （FC） ≥2 were considered as representative differential metabolites. ResultsPatients in each TCM pattern type were most commonly in the 60-75 years age group， with a relatively high proportion of males. Regarding TCM symptoms， patients with phlegm-stasis binding syndrome most commonly presented with wiry-choppy or wiry-slippery pulse， chest pain， and chest tightness； in patients with qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome， fatigue， chest pain， and weak pulse were most common； in patients with qi stagnation-accompanied sydnrome， wiry-choppy or wiry-slippery pulse， chest pain， and symptoms that increase or decrease with emotional changes， belching， or flatulence were most common； in patients with toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome， bitter taste in the mouth， chest tightness， irritability， restlessness or manic delirium， and dry and hard stools or foul-smelling diarrhea were most common. Comparisons among the different TCM patterns showed statistically significant differences in coagulation parameters （P＜0.05）， whereas no statistically significant difference was found in blood lipid levels and immune indicators （P＞0.05）.Metabolomics analysis suggested that disorders of glycerophosphate metabolism and valine， leucine， and isoleucine metabolism are characteristic features of phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns. The representative differential metabolites between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome were 7,8-dihydrobiopterin （FC = 3.58） and oxypurinol （FC = 124.50）. Those between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and qi stagnation-accompanied syndrome were cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine （FC = 2.62） and D-mannosamine （FC = 2.99）. Those between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome were anserine （FC = 7.83） and canrenone （FC = 8.94）. ConclusionThere are certain differences in the clinical characteristics and phenomics characteristics among patients with SAP due to CHD exhibiting phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns. The phenomics characteristics mainly involve biological alterations such as lipid metabolism disorders， amino acid metabolism abnormalities， and multiple immune indicators activation， which may provide a reference for precise differentiation and treatment of SAP of CHD in TCM clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the preferences of medical staff in TCM hospitals in Beijing regarding the achievements transformation of hospital traditional Chinese medicine preparations,and to provide a reference for formulating incentive policies.Methods:233 medical staff from five TCM hospitals in Beijing were taken as the research objects,and surveyed with a questionnaire designed based on the discrete choice experiment(DCE).Mixed logit models and latent class models were then used to analyze their transformation preferences.Results:The mixed Logit model revealed that seven key attributes significantly influenced medical staff's preferences for the achievements transformation of traditional Chinese medicine preparations(P<0.05).Latent class analysis identified three distinct preference groups among respondents:an organization-dependent group(27.0%),a pro-transformation group(61.4%),and a conservative group(11.6%).Conclusions:Medical Staff preferred transformation conditions that increased monthly income;utilized"human use+re-experimentation";involved the hospital's achievements transformation department as the entity;were funded by the hospital;offered a 70%profit share;enabled promotion three years earlier,and assigned patents to the hospital.The study recommends implementing diverse incentive measures and developing differentiated strategies tailored to the distinct Medical Staff categories to facilitate the transformation of hospital traditional Chinese medicine preparations into new drugs.

Aim To explore the protective effect of the isochroman compound Asperisochroman B(AB)on oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)injury of neurons based on the PI3K/AKT/Foxo1 path-way and to reveal the related mechanism.Methods Primary neurons were cultured and the OGD/R model was constructed.The primary neurons were divided in-to the blank control group,OGD/R group,and AB low,medium,and high concentration(3,10,30 μmol·L-1)groups.The effects of AB on primary neurons were determined by CCK-8 assay,lactate dehydrogen-ase(LDH)release assay,and Hoechst 33342 stai-ning.The expression levels of PI3K,AKT,and Foxo1-related proteins were detected by Western blot.After intervention with the PI3K inhibitor(LY294002)and re-modeling and intervention with high concentra-tion of AB(30 μmol·L-1),the expression of PI3K/Foxo1 pathway-related proteins was detected by West-ern blot.Results Compared with the OGD/R group,AB could significantly increase the cell survival rate of primary neurons and reduce the release of LDH.The results of Hoechst 33342 and immunofluorescence stai-ning showed that AB reduced apoptosis after OGD/R injury.Western blot results showed that compared with the OGD/R group,after AB intervention,the expres-sion levels of Bcl-2 and NeuN proteins in neurons sig-nificantly increased(P＜0.01),and the expression level of Bax protein significantly decreased(P＜0.01).At the same time,it upregulated the expres-sion levels of p-AKT and PI3K proteins,promoted Foxo1 phosphorylation,and downregulated the expres-sion of Foxo1.Compared with the high-dose AB group,LY294002 could inhibit the changes of the a-bove indicators and reverse the protective effect of AB on OGD/R-injured primary neurons.Conclusions AB can alleviate oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygen-ation-induced neuronal injury,and its mechanism may be related to the activation of the PI3K/AKT/Foxo1 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the molecular markers involved in death related to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and provide new targets for early intervention.Methods:Consecutive patients who hospitalized in department of cardiology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2017 to December 2021 and diagnosed with AMI were enrolled. The clinical factors and markers associated with in-hospital death after AMI were analyzed. In addition, patients diagnosed with AMI hospitalized in department of cardiology, Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from September 2022 to April 2023 were enrolled. We prospectively analyzed the plasma protein of death related to AMI via Olink Precision Proteomics based on proximity extension assay (PEA) technology.Results:In the retrospective study, 2 325 patients with AMI were analyzed, including 75 patients in the in-hospital death group and 2 250 subjects in the survival group. The overall mortality rate during hospitalization was 3.23% (75/2325). The patients in the death group were older: 72 (64, 80) years vs. 63 (55, 71) years. And Interleukin-6 (IL-6), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (Hs-CRP), leukocyte counts and neutrophil counts were markedly higher in the death group than those in the survival group: 69.0 (26.7, 136.6) ng/L vs. 18.2 (9.4, 36.5) ng/L, 45.7 (28.7, 50.5) mg/L vs. 5.5 (2.0, 17.2) mg/L, 12.0 (9.8, 14.1) ×10 9/L vs. 8.9 (7.2, 11.2) × 10 9/L, 9.8 (7.8, 12.1) ×10 9/L vs. 6.5(4.7, 8.8) ×10 9/L ( P<0.01). In this prospective study, 86 patients with AMI were analyzed. 61 proteins including Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1, 2 (IGFBP-1, IGFBP-2), Chitotriosidase-1 (CHIT1), Complement component C1q receptor (CD93) were independently associated with in-hospital death related to AMI ( P<0.05). The differential proteins were mainly enriched in inflammatory response, cell adhesion, cytokine signaling pathway and apoptosis. Moreover, 22 proteins including Urokinase plasminogen activator surface receptor (U-PAR), Trefoil factor 3 (TFF3), Perlecan (PLC), Growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF-15), Junctional adhesion molecule A (JAM-A) were plotted according to a logistic regression model, and the area under the curve (AUC) was more than 0.9, showing the high accuracy in predicting in-hospital death after AMI. Conclusions:Molecular markers of the inflammatory response, cell adhesion, cell growth and apoptosis might be involved in death related to AMI, which provides new targets for early intervention.
