Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) is a chronic liver disease closely related to metabolic dysfunction. Its global prevalence is increasing year by year and shows a trend toward younger onset. It is closely associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and extrahepatic malignant tumors, and has become a major public health problem affecting the health of the Chinese population. At present, the treatment of MAFLD mainly focuses on lifestyle intervention. When metabolic cardiovascular risk factors and liver injury are present, pharmacological intervention is required. However, there is still no specific drug therapy for MAFLD. In recent years, many studies have found that the pathogenesis of MAFLD involves interactions among multiple factors, including insulin resistance, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, programmed cell death, immune dysregulation, inflammasomes, gut microbiota imbalance, and bile acid metabolism. Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has advantages in integrated regulation with multiple components and multiple targets, and shows significant efficacy in the treatment of MAFLD. Active components of Chinese medicinal herbs and Chinese medicine compound formulas exert definite therapeutic effects by regulating multiple signaling pathways to improve lipid metabolism disorders, inhibit inflammatory responses, and regulate the gut microbiota, thereby effectively improving clinical symptoms and delaying the occurrence and development of MAFLD. Therefore, strengthening research on the mechanisms of action of TCM in MAFLD is of crucial importance and significance for its treatment. This article summarizes the mechanisms by which Chinese medicine monomers and compound formulas intervene in MAFLD through the regulation of related signaling pathways, based on the retrieval and analysis of relevant literature from multiple databases, with the aim of providing theoretical support and a reference basis for the clinical application of TCM in the treatment of MAFLD.

A corresponding calibration method was proposed for the key performance parameters of the endoscopic liquid expansion pump,such as the pressure indication error,the flow rate indication error and the flow rate repeatability.4 different brands of endoscopic liquid expansion pumps in clinical use in the hospital were selected for calibration,and the feasibility of the calibration method was evaluated.In the pressure and flow range of the endoscope liquid expansion pump,3 calibration points of high,medium and low were selected,and each flow point was calibrated 3 times.The calibration results showed that the maximum error of pressure indication was 4.3%,the maximum error of flow indication was 9.3%,and the maximum repeatability of flow indication value was 0.8%,all of which met the technical requirements for the maximum allowable error of"Medical Endoscopes.Endoscope Functional Supply Units.Irrigation Pump"(YY/T 0864-2011)and"Calibration Specification for Syringe Pumps and Infusion Pumps"(JJF 1259-2018).The calibration method for endoscopic liquid expansion pump can improve the metrological traceability system of this type of equipment,ensure the accuracy and reliability of equipment values,improve product quality,and ensure medical safety.

According to the parameters of main indicators of pressurization device of blood transfusion and infusion,the calibration method was designed based on key technical parameters,which included pressure indication error,pressure output velocity,pressure release velocity,pressure bag airtightness,and overpressure protection. Three used pressurization devices of blood transfusion and infusion with different brands (labeled as Test Equipment A,Test Equipment B,and Test Equipment C) were selected to conduct calibration in the hospital,so as to assess the feasibility of calibration method,and to provide technique reference for evaluating the parameters of the performance. The calibration methods of pressurization device of blood transfusion and infusion were formulated from five aspects:pressure indication error,pressure output velocity,pressure deflation velocity,pressure bag airtightness and overpressure protection of pressurization device of blood transfusion and infusion. The results showed that the calibration method for pressurization device of blood transfusion and infusion,and the pressure and time recorder equipped with standard instrument of calibration can effectively calibrate the performance parameters of pressurization device of blood transfusion and infusion. The recorded data can meet the maximum limit output value of the manufacturer's technical requirements. The calibration method of pressurization device of blood transfusion and infusion can improve the metrological traceability system of such equipment,and ensure the safety and effectiveness of equipment performance,and enhance product quality,and reduce risks of clinical use,and guarantee medical safety.
