This paper systematically reviewed the concept of authentication studies on traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） classics and the research achievements of scholars across historical and contemporary periods. We categorized the authentication studies on TCM classics into four types， including work-oriented authentication research， metho-dological studies on authentication， extended authentication research， and single-book authentication. Multiple methods were applied comprehensively， including investigating bibliographic documents of successive dynasties， analyzing the academic contents of medical books， studying the textual characteristics of medical books， examining the cited references in medical books， verifying the biographies of authors， and analyzing the interpolations and accretions in medical books， to distinguish the authenticity of TCM classics. The academic value of authenticity identification of TCM classics is concluded in three aspects，i.e. it serves as an important means to distinguish authenticity from falsehood in TCM classics， an important guarantee for inheriting the essence of TCM literature， and a key to unlocking the academic treasure trove of TCM classics and achieving inheritance-based innovation， which will lay a solid documentary foundation for constructing identification methodologies and standardized systems.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of nuclear factor ⅠB(NFⅠB)in myeloid cells and intestinal inflammation by constructing NFⅠB conditional gene knockout(cKO)mice.Methods Human Protein Atlas database,Genotype-Tissue Expression database,and FANTOM5 database were used to investigate the expression of NFⅠB in inflammatory cells.NFⅠB-floxed mice were constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and hybridized with LyZ2-Cre transgenic mice.Myeloid specific NFⅠB cKO mice(NFⅠBfl/flLyz2-Cre)were obtained by self-crossing the progeny.After the genotype identification of mice by agarose gel electrophoresis,4 NFⅠB cKO mice of C57BL/6N strain were selected as experimental group,and 4 non-cKO mice were selected as control group.Both groups were induced with 2.5％dextran sulfate sodium salt(DSS)under the same condition to establish a chronic colitis model,and the severity of colitis was evaluated by clinical manifestations and histopathology.Results Analysis showed that NFⅠB was expressed in both myeloid granulocytes and monocytes,and the highest expression was found in neutrophils.NFⅠB cKO mice were successfully constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and Cre-loxP system.DSS-induced enteritis NFⅠB cKO mice developed diarrhea,gross blood stools,reduced activity,and weight loss in a short time.The gross examination of the intestines showed that the colon of the NFⅠB cKO mice was significantly shorter than that of the non-cKO mice([8.23±0.35]cm vs[10.30±0.36]cm,P＜0.01).Intestinal H-E staining showed changes in mucosal glandular structure and connective tissue hyperplasia with extensive inflammatory cell infiltration in NFⅠB cKO mice.The histological score of NFⅠB cKO mice was significantly higher than that of non-cKO mice(4.25±0.50 vs 0.50±0.58,P＜0.01).Intestinal immunohistochemical staining showed that more CD11b positive cells were recruited in NFⅠB cKO mice than non-cKO mice.Conclusion Myeloid specific NFⅠB cKO mice have been successfully constructed,and NFⅠB in myeloid cells can reduce infiltration of immune cells(granulocytes or/and monocytes)to inhibit intestinal inflammation.

Methods Patients who underwent tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery via balance-shaped sternal elevation device in anterior mediastinal masses process at the Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China Hospital, Sichuan University from March to April 2025 were included, and their clinical data were analyzed. Results A total of 4 patients were included, with 2 males and 2 females, aged 58-75 years. The diameter of the tumor was 2.5-3.0 cm. The operation time was 60.0-150.0 min, intraoperative blood loss was 5-10 mL, pain score on the 3rd day after surgery was 0 points, and postoperative hospital stay was 2-3 days. All patients achieved complete resection of the masses and thymus without perioperative complications. Conclusion The tubeless subxiphoid uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery with percutaneous suspension technique via balance-shaped sternal elevation device technique optimizes surgical visualization and instrument maneuverability while avoiding complications related to conventional anesthesia and tubing, thereby markedly enhancing the minimally invasive profile of anterior mediastinal masses resections. In addition to maintaining procedural safety, this approach effectively reduces postoperative pain and accelerates patient recovery, highlighting its potential for widespread clinical adoption.

Objective:To explore the effect of Swanson theory combined with hand touch on the existential distress of patients with advanced lung cancer, in order to provide reference for clinical humanistic care.Methods:A non synchronous controlled study was conducted using convenience sampling to select advanced lung cancer patients admitted to the Oncology Department of the First People's Hospital of Yongkang City, Zhejiang Province from October 2023 to March 2024 as the control group, and advanced lung cancer patients admitted from April to October 2024 as the experimental group. The control group received routine care, while the experimental group received Swanson theory combined with hand touch intervention on the basis of routine care. The Existential Distress Scale (EDS) and Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy- General (FACT-G) scores of the two groups were compared before and 2 weeks after intervention.Results:During the study period, there were 3 dropouts in the experimental group and 2 dropouts in the control group. Finally, 37 cases were included in the experimental group, including 16 males and 21 females, with an age of (62.35 ± 12.13) years. There were 38 cases in the control group, including 25 males and 13 females, with an age of (65.68 ± 13.46) years. After 2 weeks of intervention, the EDS score of the experimental group patients was (6.65 ± 2.89) points, while that of the control group was (8.16 ± 2.27) points. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = 2.52, P<0.05). After intervention, the social/family status dimension, emotional status dimension, and total score of FACT-G in the experimental group were (15.35 ± 4.18), (19.27 ± 3.54), and (57.46 ± 14.69) points, respectively, which were better than the control group's (13.08 ± 3.77), (16.53 ± 3.88), and (50.58 ± 11.86) points. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( t = - 2.47, - 3.20, - 2.24, all P<0.05). Conclusions:The combination of Swanson theory and hand touch can effectively reduce the existential distress of patients with advanced lung cancer, improve their quality of life, and embody the concept of nursing humanistic care into simple and safe intervention measures, providing reference for clinical humanistic care.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of fluoroscopically-guided percutaneous gastrostomy (FGPG) for establishing enteral nutrition access in the treatment of esophageal fistula after radiotherapy for cervical esophageal cancer (CEC).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 54 patients who underwent FGPG due to esophageal fistula after radiotherapy for CEC at our department from November 2009 to August 2019. All patients received endoscopy before radiotherapy, and CEC was pathologically confirmed. Enteral nutrition support was offered through a gastrostomy tube postoperatively. The success rate of FGPG, complications, and healing of perforation were recorded and analyzed.Results:FGPG was successfully performed in all 54 patients (100%). During the 12-month follow-up, 50 patients (92.6) survived while four (7.4%) died. Among 36 patients with esophagomediastinal fistula, 32 (88.9%) healed in a median of 12 weeks; of 18 patients with esophagotracheal fistula, 8 (44.4%) healed in a median of 18 weeks. Thus, patients with esophagomediastinal fistula had a significantly higher healing rate ( P<0.01) and shorter healing time ( P=0.017). Gastrostomy tube-related complications were minimal, and no serious complication was noted. Conclusions:FGPG is effective for the treatment of esophageal fistula after CEC radiotherapy and may be an alternative treatment for esophageal fistula.

Objective:To design a novel model for experiments on in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds using a treatment planning system (TPS) and 3D printing technology and to preliminarily validate the design scientific rigor of the model via experiments on isodose brachytherapy (BT) and external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) on glioma cells in mice. Methods:The TPS was employed to design the model′s shape and calculate the number and positions of radioactive seeds, and 3D printing technology was utilized to fabricate the experimental model. The GL261 cell line was selected for in vitro irradiation experiments, with the mice divided into the control, EBRT, and BT groups. Mice in the EBRT and BT groups were treated with EBRT and BT, respectively, at doses of 2, 4, and 6 Gy. Then, changes in their cell viability, proliferation, and the level of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were assessed. Results:The model for in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds was successfully designed and fabricated. The single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) verified a uniform radioactive distribution within the model, with no significant cold spots. The BT and EBRT groups displayed decreased cell viability with an increase in the radiation dose. Compared to the EBRT group, the BT group exhibited significantly reduced cell viability (51.33% vs. 22.00%, t = 10.94, P < 0.05) and clone counts (172.67 ± 13.11 vs. 53.67 ± 10.22, t = 8.73, P < 0.05), but a significantly increased level of ROS (102.52 ± 6.87 vs. 144.81 ± 6.01, t = -5.26, P < 0.05) at a dose of 6 Gy. Conclusions:An effective model of in vitro irradiation with radioactive seeds is designed based on TPS and 3D printing technology. This provides an experimental model tool and target for research on the BT and EBRT mechanisms.

Objective:To employ single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT for isodose assignment in 125I brachytherapy, assess the correlation between photon counts and dose values, and develop a clinical γ-ray visualization model for 125I brachytherapy. Methods:125I radioactive seeds were filled into a self-made 3D printed stereotactic template to build a stereotactic model. The model was scanned by SPECT/CT for photon counts at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 cm from the outermost peripheral seeds, and the corresponding dose values were measured using the Treatment Planning System (TPS). The fitting curve for the photon counts and the dose values was plotted using SPSS 27.0 software. Results:The photon counts of γ rays at distances of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 cm from the peripheral particles were 7 603.57±1 806.35, 4 018.26±1 315.72, 2 074.04±791.53, and 1 080.34±424.79, respectively, showing a significant difference ( F=743.72, P<0.01). The dose values (in Gy) in the TPS at distances of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 cm from the peripheral particles were 208.05±37.57, 125.43±17.74, 86.76±17.67, and 61.55±14.39, respectively, which were significantly different ( F=930.46, P<0.01). The photon counts were linearly correlated with the dose values ( y=0.02 x+ 46.45, R2=81.2%, P<0.01). Conclusions:SPECT/CT-based γ-ray photon count detection can be used to assign doses for 125I brachytherapy, enabling the visualization of γ rays in 125I brachytherapy. This approach has a distinct advantage over TPS, laying the foundation for the establishment of an alternative system to TPS.

Objective To observe the effectiveness and safety of DiaSphere embolized microsphere TACE for treating primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Totally 188 patients with HCC were prospectively enrolled and randomly assigned to research group(n=93)and control group(n=95),who underwent TACE with DiaSphere embolized microspheres and Embosphere embolized microspheres,respectively.The incidence of TACE-related adverse events were recorded.The therapeutic efficacy 1 month after the first TACE,also 1 and 3 months after the last TACE,and liver functions 1 month after the first and last TACE were compared between groups.Results In research group,there were 69 cases underwent 1 time TACE,22 cases underwent 2 times and 2 cases underwent 3 times TACE,while in control group,there were 82 cases underwent 1 time and 13 cases underwent 2 times TACE,respectively.No statistical difference of the incidence of adverse events was found between groups(77.42%[72/93]vs.76.84%[73/95],P=1.000).One month after the first TACE,7 cases in research group and 11 cases in control group were lost to follow-up,respectively.One month after the last TACE,12 cases were lost to follow-up in both groups,and 3 months after the last TACE,28 cases were lost to follow-up in both groups.No significant difference of objective response rate nor disease control rate was found between groups at the above time points(all P＞0.05).One month after the first and last TACE,liver function indicators were not different between groups(all P＞0.05).Conclusion Both the short-term efficacy and safety of TACE with DiaSphere embolized microspheres for treating HCC were good.

Acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS) is one of the most common sport injuries, with high incidence, recurrence and disability rates. Currently, exercise rehabilitation-based non-surgical treatment is the primary management approach for ALAS. However, there remain improper practices such as excessive immobilization or uncontrolled activity, which contribute to recurrent sprains and chronic ankle instability, significantly impairing patients′ athletic function and quality of life. To standardize the non-surgical management of ALAS, improve the cure rates, and reduce the recurrence and disability rates, Chinese Sports Rehabilitation Medicine Training Project of Chinese Medical Association, Foot and Ankle Basics and Orthopedics Group, Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association, and Sports Medicine Branch of Jiangsu Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate Expert consensus on non-surgical treatment for acute lateral ankle sprain ( version 2025), following the principles of scientific vigor, practicality, and innovation. Thirteen recommendations were proposed for standardized treatment protocols across different healing phases, aiming to provide references for standard management of ALAS and improve the therapeutic outcomes.
