Osteoarthritis (OA) and stroke are common clinical diseases that reduce patients' quality of life and place a burden on families and society. Ruyi Zhenbaowan, a classic prescription in Tibetan medicine, have the functions of clearing heat, awakening the brain and opening orifices, relaxing tendons and promoting meridian circulation, and eliminating yellow water. Clinically, they are used to treat osteoarthritis, post-stroke sequelae, neuropathic pain, and other related conditions. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and nerve-repairing effects. However, current research remains insufficient regarding the appropriate indications, timing, and efficacy of this medicine in treating relevant diseases. To enhance clinicians' understanding of this medicine and promote its standardized and rational clinical use, a panel of national experts, including clinical specialists, Tibetan medicine practitioners, pharmacologists, and methodologists, formulated this consensus based on clinical experience and evidence-based practice. The Cochrane systematic review framework, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system, and the nominal group method were employed to generate seven graded recommendations and 19 consensus-based suggestions. These recommendations clearly define the key points in the clinical application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan, including therapeutic indications, dosage and administration, treatment duration, and medication safety. The consensus specifically addresses the clinical efficacy, appropriate timing of administration, dosage strategies, treatment cycles, and combination medication strategies for treating osteoarthritis and stroke and provides an overview of safety considerations. The aim is to provide standardized guidance for hospitals and healthcare institutions nationwide to ensure the rational application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in the treatment of osteoarthritis and stroke, reduce medication-related risks, and further leverage its clinical advantages. This consensus has been approved and issued by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, with the standard number GS/CACM 369-2024.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of Renshentang on atherosclerosis (AS) in mice based on the role of transient receptor potential vanilloid1 (TRPV1) in regulating cholesterol metabolism in foam cells. MethodsNine SPF-grade 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were set as a normal group, and 60 ApoE-/- mice were randomized into model, positive drug (simvastatin, 0.02 g·kg-1·d-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (1.77, 3.54, 7.08 g·kg-1·d-1, respectively) Renshentang groups (n=12) according to body weight. The normal group was fed with a normal diet, and the other groups were fed with a high-fat diet and given corresponding drugs by oral gavage for the modeling of AS. The mice were administrated with corresponding drugs once a day for 12 weeks. After the last administration and fasting for 12 h, the aorta was collected. Plaque conditions, pathological changes, levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglcerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), and the expression of TRPV1, liver X receptor (LXR), inducible degrader of the low-density lipoprotein receptor (IDOL), and low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in the aortic tissue were observed and detected by gross oil red O staining, HE staining, Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and real-time PCR. ResultsCompared with the normal group, the model group presented obvious plaque deposition in the aorta, raised levels of TC, TG, and LDL-C in the serum (P<0.01), up-regulated expression level of LDLR in the aorta (P<0.01), lowered level of HDL-C in the serum, and down-regulated expression levels of TRPV1, LXR, and IDOL in the aorta (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the positive drug and Renshentang at different doses alleviated AS, elevated the levels of HDL-C, TRPV1, LXR, and IDOL (P<0.05, P<0.01), while lowering the levels of TC, TG, LDL-C, and LDLR (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionRenshentang has a lipid-lowering effect on AS mice. It can effectively reduce lipid deposition, lipid levels, and plaque area of AS mice by activating TRPV1 expression and regulating the LXR/IDOL/LDLR pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the medication patterns of Professor Zhang Farong in treating type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and the clinical efficacy of his core prescription. MethodsClinical case records of T2DM treated by Professor Zhang Farong were collected to establish a prescription database. Frequency statistics, visual analysis, and factor analysis were employed to investigate the characteristics and principle of the prescriptions, and a core prescription was derived. A randomized controlled trial was conducted, enrolling 60 T2DM patients with the dampness-heat syndrome. The patients were allocated into an observation group (core prescription + metformin) and a control group (metformin alone), with both groups undergoing a 12-week treatment course. Changes in TCM symptom scores, glucose metabolism indicators [fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-hour postprandial blood glucose (2 hPG), and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)], pancreatic function indicators [fasting C-peptide (FCP), 2-hour postprandial C-peptide (2 hCP), and area under the C-peptide curve (AUCcp)], and lipid profiles were measured before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were observed and recorded. ResultsA core prescription named modified Gegen Qinlian Decoction was formulated, comprising Puerariae Lobatae Radix, Coptidis Rhizoma, Scutellariae Radix, Astragali Radix, Lycii Cortex, Mori Cortex, Jineijin Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli, Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Polygonati Rhizoma, and Pogostemonis Herba. The clinical trial results showed that both groups had significantly decreased FPG, 2 hPG, and HbA1c (P0.05), and the observation group outperformed the control group in recovering the level of HbA1c (P0.05). After treatment, both groups had declined TCM symptoms scores (P0.05), and the declines in the observation group were larger than those in the control group (P0.05). After treatment, the TC and LDL-C levels declined in the observation group (P 0.05), while the lipid levels showed a decreasing trend with no statistically significant difference in the control group. After treatment, both groups showed increases in FCP and AUCcp (P0.05), and the 2 hCP in both groups presented a recovering trend with no statistically significant difference. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups. ConclusionModified Gegen Qinlian Decoction embodies Professor Zhang Farong's academic philosophy of treating consumptive thirst by tonifying the spleen and kidney, replenishing Qi and Yin, clearing deficiency and heat, unblocking stasis in collaterals, and addressing both deficiency and stasis. The combination of the core prescription with metformin alleviates clinical symptoms in T2DM patients with the dampness-heat syndrome, demonstrating potential effects in restoring pancreatic islet function, regulating blood glucose, and improving lipid profiles. It serves as a therapeutic option for T2DM in the patients with the dampness-heat syndrome under syndrome differentiation, meriting broader clinical application.

ObjectiveTo explore the current situation and influencing factors of humanistic care experience among patients visiting traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) outpatient clinics in China, and to provide a basis for optimizing TCM-characterized services in both TCM and Western medicine hospitals. MethodsA multi-center cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling to select 35 hospitals across 13 provinces in China (including 3 TCM hospitals and 32 TCM outpatient clinics in general hospitals). A total of 3,430 patients were surveyed using the general information questionnaire and the Outpatient Humanistic Care Experience Questionnaire, with data collected via Questionnaire Star. Univariate analysis and multiple linear regression were employed to examine the impacts of patient characteristics, visit characteristics, hospital type (TCM hospital/general hospital), and geographic region (eastern/central/western) on humanistic care experience. ResultsThe total score of humanistic care experience was 194 (188, 233). Univariate analysis showed that gender, educational level, current residence, per capita monthly household income, location attribute of medical institutions, number of previous visits to this hospital, payment method of medical expenses, previous hospitalization history in this hospital, frequency of outpatient visits within the past 12 months, self-rated disease severity, familiarity with the outpatient procedures, implementation of the follow-up service provided by the hospital, satisfaction with follow-up services, the grade of the hospital visited, geographical region of the hospital visited, and the department visited had an impact on the humanistic care experience during outpatient visits (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that educational level (β=0.609, P=0.011), self-rated disease severity (β=-0.646, P=0.047), familiarity with outpatient procedures (β=4.784, P<0.001), satisfaction with follow-up services (β=6.365, P<0.001), and the grade of the hospital visited (β=-5.487, P<0.001) affected the humanistic care experience in outpatient medical treatment, explaining 24.4% of the total variation. ConclusionHumanistic care experience in TCM outpatient clinics is influenced by multiple factors. It is recommended to optimize the medical treatment process, strengthen doctor-patient communication training, and establish a precise follow-up mechanism, with a focus on improving care perceptions among patients with lower education levels and those attending primary-level hospitals, to refine the TCM-characterized service system.

Osteoporosis (OP) is a common bone disease affecting the quality of life and causing huge medical burden to the patients and society. The occurrence of OP is mainly caused by excessive bone resorption and insufficient bone formation, which are directly influenced by external calcium ion balance. Calcium imbalance can impair bone integrity, reduce the calcium supply to the bone, and lower the calcium content in the bone, thus triggering OP. Drugs are the main anti-OP therapy in modern medicine, which, however, may cause adverse reactions and drug dependence. Chinese medicines have good clinical effects and high safety in treating OP, being suitable for long-term use. Recent studies have shown that Chinese medicines can alleviate estrogen deficiency, regulate bone cell and calcium metabolism, which is crucial for the formation and development of OP. The transient receptor potential cation channel superfamily V members 5 and 6 (TRPV5 and TRPV6, respectively) affect bone homeostasis by mediating the transmembrane calcium ion transport in the intestine (TRPV6) and kidney (TRPV5). Therefore, TRPV5/6 is one of the key targets to understand the anti-OP mechanisms of the effective parts of Chinese medicines, which is worthy of further study. This paper summarizes the research results about the anti-OP effects of Chinese medicines in the last two decades, especially the mechanism of regulating calcium metabolism, aiming to provide new ideas for the basic research, clinical application, and drug development of OP treatment.

Methods:
A stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 12 125 middle and high school students from 25 middle schools in Jianyang City from March 2022 to October 2023 for an anonymous selffilling questionnaire survey, and a total of 1 142 adolescents from valid singleparent families were obtained as the survey objects. They were randomly divided into the training set (914 participants) and the verification set (228 participants) according to the ratio of 8∶2. The Chinese version of Beck depression Inventory (BDI) was used to evaluate depressive symptoms among adolescents from singleparent families in Jianyang City. The factors related of depressive symptoms in adolescents from singleparent families were analyzed, and a prediction model was established to verify the model and evaluate its effectiveness.
Results:
There were 158 adolescents (17.29%) in the training set and 43 adolescents (18.86%) in the verification set with depressive symptoms. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that learning stress (OR=4.31, 95%CI=1.67-11.13), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CDRISC) score (OR=0.29, 95%CI=0.12-0.71) and Family Adaptability and Cohesion Scale (FACESⅡ) scores (OR=0.19, 95%CI=0.06-0.63) were all related factors the occurrence of depressive symptoms in adolescents from singleparent families (P<0.05). The results showed that the C-index was 0.80 (95%CI=0.75-0.80), and the correction curve for predicting the occurrence of depressive symptoms in singleparent families was close to the ideal curve (χ2=0.26, P>0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve results of the training set showed that the sensitivity and specificity of the nomogram model in predicting depressive symptoms in adolescents from singleparent families were 80.38% and 80.03% respectively, ROC area under the curve (AUC) was 0.84 (95%CI=0.76-0.92). The ROC curve results of the verification set showed that the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of histogram model to predict depressive symptoms in adolescents from singleparent families were 79.07%, 82.16% and 0.83 (95%CI=0.76-0.91).
Conclusions
Learning stress, mental resilience and family function are all factors that affect the occurrence of depressive symptoms in adolescents from single parent families in Jianyang City. Based on this, the early warning model can predict depressive symptoms in Jianyang City.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect and mechanism of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhitang on the progression of atherosclerosis (AS) mice based on the regulation of cholesterol metabolism in foam cells by transient receptor potential channel ankyrin 1 (TRPA1). MethodThe AS model was established on apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE-/-) mice with a high-fat diet. The mice were randomly divided into low-dose, middle-dose, and high-dose groups of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhitang (2.97, 5.94, 11.88 g·kg-1) and simvastatin group (0.002 g·kg-1), and the drug was administered along with a high-fat diet. C57BL/6J mice were fed an ordinary diet as a normal group. After the above process, the aorta and serum of mice were taken. The pathological changes of the aortic root were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining. The lipid plaques in the aorta were observed by gross oil redness. Serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were detected, and the levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Western blot and immunohistochemical method were used to analyze the expression of TRPA1, ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1), ATP-binding cassette transporter G1 (ABCG1), and mannose receptor (CD206). ResultFrom the perspective of drug efficacy, compared with the normal group, pathological changes such as plaque, a large number of foam cells, and cholesterol crystals appeared in the aorta of the model group, and the serum levels of TC, LDL-C, IL-1β, and IL-18 were significantly increased (P<0.01). The HDL-C level was significantly decreased (P<0.01), and the CD206 level in aortic tissue was significantly decreased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the lipid deposition in the aorta was alleviated in all drug administration groups. In addition, except for the high-dose group of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhitang, all drug administration groups could significantly decrease the levels of TC and LDL-C (P<0.01). In terms of inflammation, except for the middle-dose group of Zhishi Xiebai Guizhitang, the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 were significantly decreased in all drug administration groups (P<0.05). Moreover, Zhishi Xiebai Guizhitang could also up-regulate the levels of CD206, and the difference was significant in the middle-dose and high-dose groups (P<0.05). From the perspective of mechanism, the expression levels of TRPA1, ABCA1, and ABCG1 in the aorta in the model group were lower than those in the normal group (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, all drug administration groups significantly increased the expression of TRPA1 in the aorta (P<0.05), and the expressions of ABCA1 and ABCG1 were increased. The differences in the middle-dose and high-dose groups and the simvastatin group were significant (P<0.05), which was basically consistent with the trend of immunohistochemical results. ConclusionZhishi Xiebai Guizhitang can effectively reduce blood lipid and inflammation levels and inhibit the formation of aortic plaque. The mechanism may be explained as follows: the expressions of ABCA1 and ABCG1 downstream are increased through TRPA1, which promotes cholesterol outflow in foam cells, thereby regulating cholesterol metabolism, intervening in inflammation level to a certain extent, and finally treating AS.

OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety between the drug winning the bidding for centralized procurement and the original drug of ticagrelor in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients one year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). METHODS Overall 420 ACS patients treated with PCI in our hospital from July 2021 to June 2023 were divided into centralized procurement group (156 cases) and original drug group (264 cases) according to the different varieties of ticagrelor. All patients were given Aspirin enteric-coated tablets 100 mg regularly, once a day; on this basis, patients in the centralized procurement group were given Ticagrelor tablets winning the bidding, while patients in the original drug group were given the original drug of Ticagrelor tablets. The dosage of Ticagrelor tablets taken by both groups of patients was 90 mg, twice a day, and the course of treatment was 12 months. The blood routine indicators were compared before treatment and one week after treatment, while the incidence of net adverse clinical events (NACE), major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) and bleeding events, and the survival rate without MACCE and bleeding events during a one-year follow-up after PCI were also compared between two groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in blood routine indicators before treatment and one week after treatment, as well as the incidence of NACE, MACCE and bleeding events, survival rate without MACCE and bleeding events during a one-year follow-up after PCI between the two groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS During a one-year follow-up after PCI, the efficacy and safety of the drug winning the bidding for centralized procurement of ticagrelor are comparable to the original drug.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism and effect of Qingfei Paidu decoction on transient receptor potential vanilloid-1/Transient receptor potential ankyrin1 (TRPV1/TRPA1) based on heat-sensitive channel and inflammatory response. MethodAccording to body weight, 80 8-week-old C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the normal group, model group, dexamethasone group (5 mg·kg-1), and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of Qingfei Paidu decoction (14.865, 29.73, 59.46 g·kg-1), with 12 mice in each group. In addition to the normal group, the other groups were administered 20 μL (1×10-3 g·kg-1) to each mouse by airway infusion to establish the acute lung injury (ALI) model. In the administration group, the drug was given 1 h after modeling and again after an interval of 24 h. The lung tissue was taken 36 h after modeling. Double lung wet/dry weight ratio(W/D), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and Western blot were used to observe and detect the pathological changes of lung tissue, expression levels of inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6), and expressions of TRPV1 and TRPA1 proteins in heat-sensitive channel, nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB), inhibitor of NF-κB (IκBα) in inflammatory pathway, and phosphorylated proteins. The phosphorylated protein/total protein ratio was calculated. ResultCompared with that in the normal group, the lung tissue of mice in the model group was seriously damaged, and pulmonary capillary permeability increased. Alveolar capillary congestion and dilation destroyed the complete structure of the alveolar, and the alveolar wall thickened. A large number of inflammatory cells and red blood cells were infiltrated, and pulmonary edema was significantly aggravated. The expressions of TNF-α, IL-6, TRPV1, TRPA1, phosphorylated NF-κB p65/NF-κB p65, and phosphorylated IκBα/IκBα were significantly increased (P<0.01), and the whole lung W/D was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the dexamethasone group and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of Qingfei Paidu decoction could significantly improve pulmonary edema. TNF-α, IL-6, TRPV1, TRPA1, lung tissue NF-κB p65, and IκBα phosphorylated protein/total protein ratio decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). The whole lung W/D also decreased significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionQingfei Paidu decoction has anti-inflammatory and protective effects on LPS-ALI mice, which can effectively reduce inflammation, induce diuresis, and alleviate edema. Its mechanism may be related to the regulation of the expression of TRPA1 and TRPV1 and the inhibition of the activation of the NF-κB pathway.
