As a distinctive resource of Chinese civilization, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) technology transfer faces significant opportunities under the background of digital and intelligent transformation, while also being constrained by unique challenges such as the complexity of its theoretical system, lengthy industrial chains, and multidimensional policy restrictions, resulting in a "high-value-high-threshold" paradox. At present, TCM technology transfer is deeply trapped in a "threefold reluctance" dilemma, i.e., unwillingness to transfer, inability to transfer, and lack of capacity to transfer. Specifically, the disconnection between scientific research evaluation systems and market demand leads to low conversion rates of research achievements, unclear ownership and compliance risks suppress innovation incentives, and the absence of professional services intensifies supply-demand mismatches. This article systematically analyzes the specific characteristics of TCM technology transfer and proposes a breakthrough pathway centered on full-chain digital and intelligent transformation. By integrating technologies such as intelligent sorting systems, blockchain-based traceability, and AI diagnostic models, the TCM ecosystem spanning "cultivation-production-service" can be reconstructed. In terms of standardization, promoting the progression from "experience-based data conversion" to "data standardization" and further to "intelligent standardization" is advocated to resolve quality control challenges. For example, a "three-no-one-full" certification system can strengthen quality trust. Policy coordination should focus on optimizing mechanisms for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, while exploring intellectual property securitization and risk-sharing models to stimulate research momentum. In terms of internationalization, reliance on the Belt and Road Initiative platform to promote the export of geo-authentic medicinal material brands and standards is recommended to build a dual-driven model of "technology plus culture". Looking ahead, through the construction of national-level databases, the cultivation of interdisciplinary talent, and the mutual recognition of international standards, a new paradigm of "scientific intelligent manufacturing" can be formed, providing systematic solutions for the modernization of TCM and global health governance.

To systematically analyzed the reporting status of core elements in publicly available clinical practice guideline(hereafter referred to as "guideline") protocols published domestically and internationally over the past decade, identified existing problems, and provided evidence to inform the standardized writing and publication of future guideline protocols. A systematic search was conducted in Chinese and English databases for clinical practice guideline protocols published during the past ten years. The basic characteristics and reporting of core elements—including registration information, conflict of interest management, evidence grading, development process and timeline planning, as well as dissemination and implementation—were extracted and analyzed. Chi-square tests were performed to explore associations between protocol characteristics and the reporting of core elements. A total of 94 guideline protocols were included, of which 67 were in Chinese(71.28%) and 27 were in English(28.72%). Overall, 82.98% of the guideline protocols were registered, 92.55% reported management of conflicts of interest, 97.87% reported evidence searching, 88.30% reported evidence grading, and 89.36% described dissemination and implementation strategies. However, only 55.32% reported the guideline development process, and merely 23.40% reported timeline planning. Further analysis indicated that the reporting of registration, evidence searching, development process, and timeline planning was associated with year of publication. Differences were observed between domestic and international guidelines in reporting registration, conflict of interest management, development process, time planning, and dissemination and implementation. Guidelines intended for development exhibited higher reporting rates for registration, development process, and dissemination and implementation compared to those planned for updating or adaptation. Although current guideline protocols demonstrate relatively adequate reporting of methodological elements, deficiencies remain in development process and timeline planning. Future efforts should focus on promoting the publication and standardized reporting of guideline protocols, enhancing the international recognition of registration platforms, and strengthening the development process and timeline planning to advance the scientific rigor and transparency of guideline development.

The importance of consensus research in medical decision-making has become increasinglyprominent. However, this field has long lacked unified terminology definitions and reporting standards, leading to significant heterogeneity in study design, implementation, and result presentation that affects the credibility and reproducibility of outcomes. The ACCurate COnsensus Reporting Document (ACCORD) in the field of biomedical research provides a structured writing framework for various consensus methods such as the Delphi method and nominal group technique, aiming to enhance the completeness and transparency of study reports. Combined with specific cases, this article interprets the core items of ACCORD, offering references for the design, implementation, and reporting of high-quality consensus research in China.

Objective: To investigate the damaging effects of red blood cell supernatant (RBC-S) stored for different durations (7 d, 14 d, and 28 d) on vascular endothelial cells, and to explore the underlying mechanisms using bioinformatics analysis, so as to provide references for optimizing red blood cell transfusion strategies. Methods: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were co-cultured with RBC-S stored for 7, 14 and 28 days, designated as the 7 d group, 14 d group and 28 d group respectively, which were collectively defined as the experimental groups. Cell damage was evaluated by cell proliferation assay (Cell Counting Kit8, CCK8), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) release assay, 4′, 6diamidino2phenylindole (DAPI) staining, and flow cytometry for apoptosis and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. The damage degree of RBC-S on vascular endothelial cells was assessed by statistical analysis of damage data among different groups. Since the damage effect reached a plateau at all time points, the 28 d storage group was selected as the representative for further mechanistic studies. Transcriptomic analysis was performed to explore the role of frizzled class receptor 1 (FZD1) and Wnt signaling pathway in red blood cell storagerelated endothelial dysfunction. Results: Compared with the control group, the storage groups treated with 7 d, 14 d, and 28 d RBC-S showed significantly decreased cell proliferation rates [control group 100%, 7 d group (69.51±2.30)%, 14 d group (74.54±2.89)%, 28 d group (73.59±2.36)%, P<0.05], significantly reduced numbers of DAPI-stained cell nuclei [control group (213±12.5) per field, 7 d group (140.33±17.04) per field, 14 d group (152.00±23.72) per field, 28 d group (144.33±19.09) per field, P<0.05] and significantly increased LDH release [control group (1), 7 d group (8.33±1.41), 14 d group (9.23±0.83), 28 d group (9.16±0.60), P<0.05]. There was no significant difference in the degree of damage caused by RBC-S among different storage groups (P>0.05). With the prolongation of storage time, free hemoglobin (FHb) gradually increased [control group (not detected), 7 d (16.57±6.38) mg/L, 14 d (76.80±22.83) mg/L, 28 d (286.97±29.02) mg/L, P<0.05]. The apoptotic rate (20.53±2.94)% and ROS relative intensity (5.13±0.91) in the 28 d storage group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05). Transcriptomic analysis showed that FZD1 played a key role in vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by red blood cell storage and was closely related to the Wnt signaling regulatory network. Conclusion: RBC-S stored for 7 d, 14 d, or 28 d can all significantly damage vascular endothelial cells, and the damaging effect reaches a plateau at 7 d of storage. Mechanistic investigation of the 28 d group indicated that the downregulation of the FZD1/Wnt signaling pathway may play a critical role in vascular endothelial dysfunction induced by red blood cell storage, providing a theoretical basis for further optimizing red blood cell storage and transfusion strategies.

Objective:To investigate the characteristics of resting-state mirror homotopic connectivity and the gray matter volume of brain in patients with neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus (NPSLE).Methods:From June 2020 to March 2023, a total of 35 NPSLE patients (NPSLE group) and 30 non-NPSLE patients (non-NPSLE group) were selected from Taizhou People's Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, another 31 healthy volunteers were recruited as the healthy controls(HC group). All participants underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) assessments. The patients in NPSLE and non-NPSLE groups were additionally assessed using the fatigue scale for motor and cognitive functions (FSMC) and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS).The DPABI V7.0 toolkit based on the MATLAB platform was used to preprocess the rs-fMRI data and calculate the voxel-mirrored homotopic connectivity(VMHC) indexes, and the differences in VMHC between groups were evaluated by covariance analysis in SPM12.0 software, and the VMHC values of brain regions with significant differences were extracted for further comparison between the two groups.Partial correlation analysis was performed to investigate the association between VMHC values and clinical parameters in NPSLE patients.The brain regions with significant differences between NPSLE patients and non-NPSLE patients were used as region of interest (ROI), and gray matter volumes within these ROIs were then calculated by VBM8 toolbox.Results:(1)There were statistically significant differences in the VMHC values of bilateral precentral gyrus, bilateral dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus, bilateral medial and paracingulate gyrus, bilateral parahippocampal gyrus, bilateral middle occipital gyrus, bilateral postcentral gyrus, and bilateral superior temporal gyrus among the 3 groups( F=11.246-14.102, all P<0.05). The NPSLE group exhibited significantly lower VMHC values in these regions compared to both the non-NPSLE group and HC group (all P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in these regions between the non-NPSLE group and HC group (all P>0.05).(2) The gray matter volumes of bilateral dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus(right: (0.57±0.11)mm 3, (0.65±0.08)mm 3, t=-3.409, P=0.001; left: (0.53±0.10)mm 3, (0.60±0.07)mm 3, t=-3.082, P=0.003), bilateral precentral gyrus(right: (0.32±0.06)mm 3, (0.35±0.04)mm 3, t=-2.044, P=0.045; left: (0.39±0.06)mm 3, (0.42±0.04)mm 3, t=-2.505, P=0.015), right medial and paracingulate gyrus((0.66±0.08)mm 3, (0.70±0.07)mm 3, t=-2.491, P=0.015) and left superior temporal gyrus((0.57±0.09)mm 3, (0.61±0.06)mm 3, t=- 2.344, P=0.022) in the NPSLE group were smaller than those of non-NPSLE group.(3)Correlation analysis showed that the VMHC value of dorsolateral superior frontal gyrus was positively correlated with IgA level in NPSLE patients ( r=0.353, P=0.047). Conclusion:Patients with NPSLE generally have decreased mirror homotopy functional connectivity in the cerebral hemispheres, accompanied by a decrease in gray matter volume in some brain regions, which can provide a certain neuroimaging basis for the pathogenesis of brain injury.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of computed tomography(CT) based radiomics model for the prognosis of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma(PDAC).Methods:The retrospective cohort study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 206 PDAC patients who were admitted to Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from August 2018 to December 2020 were collected. There were 115 males and 91 females, aged (64±9)years. All 206 pati-ents underwent enhanced CT examination. Based on radom number table, the 206 patients were randomly divided into a training set of 165 cases and a validation set of 41 cases with a ratio of 4∶1. The training set was used to construct the prediction model, and the test set was used to validate the performance of the prediction model. Observation indicators: (1) follow-up; (2) analysis of prognostic factors of PDAC patients in the training set; (3) construction and evaluation of prediction model for prognosis of PDAC patients. Comparison of measurement data with normal distribution between groups was conducted using the t test. Comparison of measurement data with skewed distribution between groups was conducted using the Wilcoxon W test. Comparison of count data between groups was conducted using the chi-square test or corrected chi-square test. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate and Log-rank test was used for survival analysis. Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted using the COX regression model. The PyCharm software was used for the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator method (LASSO)-COX regression analysis. The receiver operating characteristic curve was plotted to evaluate the performance of radiomics model. Results:(1)Follow-up. Of the 206 patients,205 cases were followed up for 17.1(range, 12.0?40.1)months. The postoperative 1-, 2-, 3-year survival rates were 80.10%, 29.61% and 4.85%. (2) Analysis of prognostic factors for PDAC patients in the training dataset. Results of multivariate analysis showed that pathological N stage was an independent influencing factor for prognosis of PDAC patients in the training set ( hazard ratio=1.476, 95% confidence interval as 1.054?2.067, P<0.05). (3) Construction and evaluation of prediction model for prognosis of PDAC patients. A total of 1 595 radiomics features were finally extracted from the 206 patients. By intra-group feature selection and dimensionality reduction using LASSO-COX regression model, 10 radiomics features were obtained. Combined with 10 radiomics features and 11 clinical features, using the LASSO-COX regression analysis, 15 features were finally extracted to construct the CT based radiomics model for predicting prognosis of PDAC. The areas under receiver operating characteristic curve of the prediction model in predicting 2-year and 3-year overall survival rates of PDAC patients in the training set were 0.834 (95% confidence interval as 0.777?0.891) and 0.883 (95% confidence interval as 0.834?0.932), respectively. The area under curve of the prediction model for patients in the validation set was 0.606 (95% confidence interval as 0.456?0.756) and 0.625 (95% confidence interval as 0.477?0.773). Conclusion:The prediction model constructed on CT based radiomics features and clinical features for predicting the prognosis of PDAC patients shows a promising prediction efficiency.

Aim To explore the impact and mechanism of proprotein convertase subtilisin kexin 9(PCSK9)on the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA).Methods 6~8 week old ApoE-/-mice were selected to estab-lish the AAA model.Angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)was continuously infused through subcutaneous implantation of a micro-os-motic pump.The mice were fed with high-fat diet and killed after 28 days.The expression of PCSK9 in abdominal aor-tic smooth muscle cells was detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence in normal abdominal aortic blood vessels and AAA samples in human and mice.Primary cultured murine vascular smooth muscle cells(mVSMC)of C57BL/6 mice were treated with different concentrations of AngⅡ for 24 h,and the expression of PCSK9 mRNA and pro-tein was detected.PCSK9 overexpression and knockdown cell models were established,and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species(mtROS),mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP),mitochondrial permeability transition pore(MPTP)open-ing,and Z-DNA binding protein 1(ZBP1)protein expression were detected.Bioinformatics was used to analyze the dif-ferential expression of multiple single-cell sequencing datasets to obtain the key differentially expressed genes,and to study their expression and role in AAA.Results Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence results showed that PCSK9 expression in human and mouse AAA increased(P<0.01),and co-localized with smooth muscle.Ang Ⅱ promoted PCSK9 expression in mVSMC in a concentration-dependent manner,the 2.0 μmol/L Ang Ⅱ group showed a 2.9-fold and 1.1-fold increase in the expression of PCSK9 mRNA and protein,respectively(P<0.01),with the most significant effect observed.After successfully constructing PCSK9 overexpression and PCSK9 interference mVSMC models,PCSK9 overex-pression led to an increase in intracellular mtROS,a decrease in MMP,an increase in MPTP opening,and a decrease in cellular activity(P<0.01);PCSK9 knockdown could reduce Ang Ⅱ induced increase in mtROS,decrease in MMP and MPTP opening;compared with the siNC+Ang Ⅱ group,the siPCSK9+Ang Ⅱ group showed a decrease in mtROS and an in-crease in the fluorescence brightness of MMP and MPTP(P<0.05).Bioinformatics analysis revealed that ZBP1 was a core differentially expressed gene in AAA.Immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence results showed that ZBP1 ex-pression in human and mouse AAA tissues increased,and co-localized with smooth muscle.Western blot results showed that PCSK9 overexpression or treatment with 2.0 μmol/L Ang Ⅱ could increase ZBP1 protein expression(P<0.01),while PCSK9 knockdown could alleviate the increased ZBP1 expression caused by AngⅡ(P<0.05).Conclusion PCSK9 may induce mitochondrial damage in smooth muscle cells,activate downstream molecule ZBP1 to cause cell damage,and promote the development of AAA.

Objective To observe the effect of a heavy load exercise on the ultrastructure,function and fission of skeletal muscle mitochondria in rats,and to analyze the changes of the phosphorylation expression of mitochondrial fission protein and upstream kinase at different times postexercise,and to explore the effect of acute heavy load exercise on mitochondrial fission in skeletal muscle of rats and its possible mechanism.Methods Forty-eight adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided in-to a quiet control group(C,n=8)and an exercise group(E,n=40).Rats in the E group exercised on a treadmill down a 16° decline at 16 m/min for 90 min and were further divided into 0 h,12 h,24 h,48 h,and 72 h postexercise subgroups.Soleus muscle was isolated and mitochondria were ex-tracted at the corresponding time points after exercise.The ultrastructure of mitochondria in the soleus muscle was observed using transmission electron microscopy,and mitochondrial quantity and morphomet-ric analysis were conducted.Moreover,the colocalization and quantity of dynamin-related protein 1(Drp1)and cytochrome C oxidease subunit Ⅳ(COXⅣ)in the soleus muscle were detected using im-munofluorescence double-labeling techniques.Meanwhile,protein levels of soleus musclep-Drp1Ser616,p-Drp1Ser637,p-extracellular regulatory protein kinaseThr202/Tyr204(p-ERKThr202/Tyr204),p-protein kinaseAThr197(p-PKAThr197),and mitochondrial NADH of ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit B8(NDUFB8)and ubiqui-nol-cytochrome C reductase core protein 2(UQCRC2)were determined by using Western blotting.An-other twenty-four rats were randomly divided into a DMSO group(CD),a U0126 group(CU),an Ex-ercise+DMSO group(ED),and an Exercise+U0126 group(EU).Six mice in each group were giv-en a single intra-bitoneal injection of DMSO or ERK inhibitor U0126 20 min before acute downhill running.Then,their phosphorylated expressions of ERKThr202/Tyr204 and Drp1Ser616 in soleus muscle were de-tected by Western blotting.Results(1)From 0 h to 48 h after exercise,the soleus muscle mitochon-dria showed swelling,rounding,and uneven distribution of mitochondria,among which the degree of mitochondrial damage was the most serious at 12 h and 24 h after exercise.Moreover,the protein ex-pression of NDUFB8 and UQCRC2 in the mitochondria fractions from soleus muscle was significantly lower at 12 h post-exercise(P<0.05).(2)The co-localization of Drp1 and COXⅣ in the skeletal muscle increased significantly at 12 h to 24 h after a heavy load exercise compared with group C and group E0(P<0.01).Moreover,the mitochondrial area,circumference,aspect ratio and Ferret diameter in the skeletal muscle were significantly lower at 12 h to 24 h postexercise(P<0.05).Meanwhile,the number of mitochondria was significantly higher at 24 h after exercise(P<0.01).(3)The phosphoryla-tion of ERKThr202/Tyr204,PKAThr197 and Drp1Ser616 was significantly higher at 24 h after exercise(P<0.01),while that of Drp1Ser637 was significantly lower at 48 h and 72 h post-exercise(P<0.01).However,the phosphorylated expressions of ERKThr202/Tyr204 and Drp1Ser616 were significantly down-regulated by U0126 treatment before exercise.Conclusion A session of heavy load exercise caused mitochondrial structure and function damage and induced mitochondrial fission in the skeletal muscle,and then to maintain the homeostasis of skeletal muscle cells by cleaving damaged mitochondria.The mechanism of promot-ing skeletal muscle repair may be related to the positive and negative regulation of Drp1 activity by the phosphorylation of Drp1Ser616 and Drp1Ser637,respectively.Among them,the activation of ERKThr202/Tyr204 mediates the phosphorylation activation of Drp1Ser616,but PKAThr197 is not an upstream kinase that medi-ates the inactivation of Drp1Ser637 phosphorylation.
