BACKGROUND:How to repair bone defect has been a clinical problem for a long time.The effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine have good biological activity and therapeutic effect,and the combination of effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and tissue engineering materials has a broad prospect in the field of bone repair.The combination of different effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and scaffolds has similarities in their functional relationships. OBJECTIVE:To collect the cases of the combinations of effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine and scaffolds,then analogize tissue engineering scaffolds and effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine into two types of traditional Chinese medicine that generate compatibility relationships based on the inspiration of the compatibility of seven emotions and summarize the relationship between the two based on their functional relationships. METHODS:Relevant articles from January 1998 to January 2024 were searched in PubMed and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),using English search terms"traditional Chinese medicine,Chinese medicine,traditional Chinese medicine monomers,bone defect,bone repair,bone tissue engineering,tissue engineering,scaffold"and Chinese search terms"traditional Chinese medicine,effective ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine,traditional Chinese medicine monomers,bone tissue engineering,bone tissue engineering scaffold,scaffold,tissue engineering,bone defect,bone repair."A total of 88 articles were included for review and analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Both tissue engineering scaffold materials and active ingredients of traditional Chinese medicine have been widely used in the field of bone repair.Although they have obvious advantages in osteogenesis,there are still many shortcomings.Many studies are dedicated to preparing composite materials from the two,hoping to exert a detoxification and synergism through the interaction between the two.(2)Some drugs and materials can promote each other in osteogenesis,antibacterial,and promoting angiogenesis,enhancing their original effects.Inspired by the traditional concept of prescription compatibility,this article summarized it as a"Mutual promotion"relationship and provided examples to support it.(3)Some drugs can enhance the strength of materials,while some materials can achieve sustained release and controlled release effects,increase drug loading and stability,or achieve targeted delivery of drugs loaded on them.The article summarized this unilateral enhancement effect as a"Mutual assistance"relationship.(4)The combination of some traditional Chinese medicine and materials can reduce the toxic side effects of the other party.The article summarizes this detoxification relationship as"Mutual restraint and detoxification."(5)The article provided a new perspective on traditional Chinese medicine composite scaffolds,inspired by the seven emotions compatibility relationship and based on the classification of action relationships.It introduced traditional Chinese medicine concepts into the field of tissue engineering,providing new research ideas for subsequent researchers of composite scaffolds,and providing certain convenience in material selection and matching.

Shengyutang is a famous classical formula of tonic， which is made from Siwutang with Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Astragali Radix. It is included in the Catalogue of Ancient Famous Classical Formulas（The First Batch）. Based on the Principles of Key Information Research of Ancient Famous Classical Formulas， this paper used bibliometrics to sort out and research the key information of Shengyutang in the aspects of history， composition， origin and processing， dosage， decocting method， efficacy and indications. After research， it has been found that this formula was first recorded in Lanshi Micang written by LI Dongyuan during the Jin dynasty， composed of Rehmanniae Radix， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis taproot. The name of the formula passed down through generations was relatively unified， with clear origins and veins. In later generations， this formula was the mainstream， and adjustments were made to the dosage and composition according to the indication. In the formula， Astragalus membranaceus var. mongholicus was selected as the origin of Astragali Radix， and the origins of other medicinal materials were consistent with the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Except for Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， the other medicinal materials were made from raw products， and the dosage form was boiled powder. According to the measurement standard in the Jin dynasty， the recommended usage and dosage were 1.24 g of Rehmanniae Radix， Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata， Chuanxiong Rhizoma， Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma each， 2.07 g of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis taproot each， crushed into coarse particles that pass through the 4 mesh sieve but can't pass through the 10 mesh sieve， added 1 200 mL of water and boiled to 300 mL， and removed the residue. Shengyutang has the functions of tonifying Qi and blood， and blood intake， treating various sores， and restlessness and insomnia caused by excessive blood flow. In ancient times， this formula was widely used in the treatment of surgical sores， gynecological diseases， deficiency syndrome， etc. In modern clinical practice， it is mostly used to treat gynecological， neurological， musculoskeletal， hematological diseases caused by Qi and blood deficiency. In this paper， the key information of Shengyutang was researched by reviewing relevant ancient literature， in order to provide reference for the modern application and development of this formula.

ObjectiveTo explore the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） chronic disease management programme in preventing postoperative recurrence of colorectal polyps. MethodsThe clinical data of 447 postoperative colorectal polyp patients were retrospectively collected， and the patients were divided into an exposure group and a control group taking the acceptance of TCM chronic disease management programme as exposure factor， and the polyp recurrence rate as the main outcome indicator， comparing the differences in baseline characteristics， outcome events， and safety assessment between the two groups， and conducting correlation analysis between the length of medication and polyp recurrence. Multifactorial logistic regression was used to analyse the effects of receiving the TCM chronic disease management programme （TCM treatment and life management for spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome， dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome， and intestinal dampness and heat syndrome）， gender， age， co-morbidities， TCM syndrome， and dietary and exercise factors on the outcome events. ResultsAmong 257 postoperative patients with colorectal polyps， there were 172 in the exposure group and 85 in control group. The recurrence rate of polyps in exposure group was 22.7% （39/172）， while the recurrence rate in control group was 57.6% （49/85）， and the difference between groups was statistically significant （P＜0.01）. The diameter of recurrent polyps in exposure group （median= 4.0 mm） was smaller than that in control group （median= 5.0 mm， P＜0.01）. The correlation analysis between the duration of medication taking and the recurrence of polyps in the spleen deficiency and dampness stasis syndrome group showed Phi value as -0.345 （P＜0.001）； the correlation analysis within the group of dampness and stasis obstruction in collaterals syndrome showed Phi value as -0.361 （P＜0.05）， indicating a negative correlation between the duration of medication taking and polyp recurrence. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the positive effect of accepting TCM chronic disease management programme on preventing polyp recurrence is statistically significant （OR=0.224， P＜0.01）. ConclusionAccepting TCM chronic disease management programme for colorectal polyps can help reducing the recurrence rate after polyp surgery， which is a protective factor for patients to the outcome event.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasound radiomics combined with machine learning for early diagnosis of seronegative Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (SN-HT) .Methods:This retrospective study included 164 patients from Liaoning Provincial People’s Hospital , Lixin County People’s Hospital, Linghai Dalinghe Hospital, Fengcheng Phoenix Hospital, who underwent thyroidectomy for solitary nodules with normal thyroid function between Nov. 2016 and Jan. 2024. Postoperative pathology confirmed Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT) in some cases, who were further categorized into antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups based on serum antibody status. Patients without Hashimoto’s thyroiditis served as the control group. A total of 298 ultrasound images were analyzed. Radiomics features were extracted from hypoechoic non-nodular areas within 0.5 cm surrounding the tumor. Two senior pathologists and two senior ultrasound physicians independently assessed lymphocytic infiltration, eosinophilic changes of follicular epithelium, and the proportion of hypoechoic areas in pathology and ultrasound images, respectively. A machine learning model, CCH-NET, was developed using linear regression and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) techniques. The dataset was divided into a training set (80%) and a validation set (20%) to compare the diagnostic accuracy of CCH-NET with that of senior ultrasound physicians. Results:In internal validation, CCH-NET achieved a diagnostic accuracy of 88.89% for both antibody-positive and antibody-negative groups, significantly higher than the 66.67% accuracy of senior ultrasound physicians ( P<0.01). In external validation, CCH-NET achieved 75.00% and 66.67% accuracy for the two groups, compared to 50.00% by senior ultrasound physicians. For the control group, both methods achieved 93.33% accuracy. The AUC of CCH-NET was 0.848, outperforming senior ultrasound physicians (0.681) ,demonstrating superior diagnostic performance. Conclusion:The radiomics-based CCH-NET model, using non-nodular hypoechoic areas as a specific indicator, can accurately identify early SN-HT in euthyroid patients. It significantly outperforms senior ultrasound physicians, improving diagnostic accuracy and reducing missed diagnoses.

Objective To explore the expression of peripheral blood Nod-like receptor protein 3(NLRP3)inflammasomes,serum caveolin-1(Cav-1),and sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1(S1P1)in children with Kawasaki disease(KD),and to elucidate their associations with coronary artery lesion(CAL).Methods A total of 223 children diagnosed with KD were recruited from our hospital between March 2023 and December 2024 and served as the KD study group.These children were classified into the CAL group(n=71)and the non-CAL group(n=152)based on their CAL status.Additionally,223 healthy children who underwent physical examinations at our hospital were selected as the healthy control group.Clinical data,levels of routine laboratory test indices,peripheral blood NLRP3 inflammasomes,serum Cav-1,and S1P1 were compared among the groups.Risk factors for CAL in children with KD were analyzed,and the diagnostic value of peripheral blood NLRP3 inflammasomes,serum Cav-1,and S1P1 levels for CAL in children with KD was evaluated.Results The levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC in peripheral blood and messenger ribonucleic acid(mRNA)of serum Cav-1 were significantly higher in the KD study group than in the healthy control group(P<0.05).Conversely,the serum level of S1P1 was significantly lower in the KD study group compared to the healthy control group(P<0.05).In the CAL group,the levels of peripheral blood white blood cell count(WBC),NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC mRNA,serum C-reactive protein(CRP),and Cav-1 were all higher than those in the non-CAL group(P<0.05),while the serum level of S1P1 was lower than that in the non-CAL group(P<0.05).The levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC mRNA in peripheral blood,along with serum Cav-1 and S1P1,were identified as independent risk factors for CAL in children with KD(P<0.05).The results of receiver operating characteristic(ROC)analysis indicated that the combined test of the levels of NLRP3,caspase-1,ASC mRNA in peripheral blood,serum Cav-1,and S1P1 for diagnosing CAL in children with KD had an area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.926.This value was significantly higher than that of each individual index(0.844,0.785,0.821,0.843,0.833,P<0.05).Conclusions The levels of NLRP3 inflamma-tory vesicles in peripheral blood and serum Cav-1 were highly expressed in children with KD,whereas the serum S1P1 was poorly expressed.These indices may be involved in the development process of CAL in children with KD.Moreover,the combination of these indices is more beneficial for the diagnosis of CAL in children with KD.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for stroke-associated pneumonia(SAP)in patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion stroke after endovascular treatment(EVT).Methods A total of 115 patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusion stroke who received EVT in the Department of Neurology,The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University,from March 2022 to May 2023 were continuously included.Their clinical data were retrospectively collected.The patients were divided into SAP group(55 cases)and non-SAP group(60 cases)according to the occurrence of SAP after the operation.Differences in baseline data,surgical and perioperative indicators were compared between the two groups,and the risk factors for SAP after EVT were analyzed using the multivariate Logistic regression analysis.Results Univariate analysis showed there were significant differences in the Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS)score and the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)score at admission,incidence of dysphagia,duration of the surgery,proportion of general anesthesia,rate of unsuccessful vascular recanalization and the rate of immediate CT high-density sign between SAP group and non-SAP group(all P＜0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis of the above indicators showed that duration of the surgery(OR=1.014,95％CI:1.001-1.028,P＜0.05),dysphagia(OR=6.137,95％CI:1.694-22.232,P＜0.01)and unsuccessful vascular recanalization(OR=6.043,95％CI:1.062-34.382,P＜0.05)were independent risk factors for SAP after EVT.Conclusion Long duration of EVT,dysphagia and unsuccessful vascular recanalization are directly related to the occurrence of SAP after EVT in patients with acute anterior circulation large-vessel occlusive infarction.Therefore,targeted measures should be taken as soon as possible to reduce the incidence of SAP after EVT and thus improve the clinical prognosis of these patients.

OBJECTIVE To understand the disinfectant-resistant genes in the gram-negative bacteria isolated from the dirt retention on air recure filters of air conditioners and observe the drug resistance.METHODS The dirt re-tention samples were collected from the air return filters of air conditioners of some wards in 3 hospitals of Wuhan(Tongji Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology,Wuhan Central Hospital,and Hubei Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital)from 2018 to 2024.The gram-negative bac-teria were screened out,the disinfectant-resistant genes in the strains were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR),and the results of drug susceptibility test were analyzed.RESULTS Of 354 dirt retention samples that were collected from the air return filers of air conditioners,77 were detected with 138 strains of gram-negative bacteria,87 of which were Acinetobacter baumannii,50 were Enterobacteriaceae,and 1 was Pseudomonas aerug-inosa.The detection rates of qacEΔ1,qacEΔ1-sul1,aceI and qacA/B were 73.19％,82.61％,69.57％and 2.90％,respectively.None of the strains were detected with qacC,qacH or qacJ.The result of drug susceptibility test showed that 76.81％of the gram-negative bacteria were resistant to at least 1 type of antibiotic;93 strains of multidrug-resistant gram-negative bacteria were isolated,most of which were isolated from intensive care unit(ICU).The detection rates of qacEΔ1 and qacEΔ1-sul1 were higher in the drug-resistant strains than those in the non-drug-resistant strains;there were significant differences in the drug resistance rates to carbapenems,quin-olones and β-lactams between the qacEΔ1-sul 1-positive strains and the qacEΔ1-sul1-negative strains(P＜0.05).CONCLUSIONS There are drug-resistant gram-negative bacteria contaminations in some wards of the 3 hospitals in Wuhan.The carrying rates of disinfectant-resistant genes of the strains are high,and the strains show varying degree of resistance to the commonly used antibiotics;the strains carrying the qacEΔ1-sul1 have certain statistical association with the drug resistance.It is suggested that the hospital should take targeted disinfec-tion measures for the environment and reasonably use antibiotics.

Objective To study the influence of stent and balloon shape on hemodynamics in tapered vessels with multiple stenosis.Methods The hemodynamic model was established after the implantation of vascular stent in tapered vessel with multiple stenosis.The numerical simulation method was used to study the effect of the combination of different shaped stents and balloons on postoperative hemodynamics.Results When the cylindrical stent was expanded using the cylindrical balloon and tapered balloon respectively,compared with cylindrical balloon expansion,the proportion of low-speed blood flow area generated by tapered balloon expansion was reduced by 0.58％,and the proportion of low time-averaged wall shear stress(TAWSS)area was reduced by 3.22％.The use of tapered balloon for expansion could produce less low-speed blood flow and low TAWSS area.When tapered balloon was used to expand the cylindrical stent and tapered stent respectively,compared with expanding tapered stent,the proportion of low-speed blood flow area generated by expanding cylindrical stent decreased by 1.35％,and the proportion of low TAWSS area decreased by 9.73％.Conclusions The hemodynamic environment of tapered vessel with multiple stenosis was influenced by the shape of stent and balloon.The use of tapered balloon to expand the cylindrical stent in tapered vessels with multiple stenosis can achieve favorable hemodynamic environment and reduce the risk of ISR occurence.This study can provide a scientific basis for the rational formulation of clinical intervention scheme.

Objective:To explore the effects of adenosine on learning and memory in rats thromboembolic stroke(TS)and its mechanism based on PI3K/Akt/CREB signaling pathway.Methods:36 male SD rats were randomly di-vided into sham group(Sham),TS group,TS+adenosine(TS+Ade)group and TS+adenosine+Akt inhibitor(TS+Ade+MK-2206)group.Preparation of rat TS model used autologous thrombus intravascular formation method.Mor-ris water maze(MWM)test was used to observe the learning and memory ability of rats.The morphological changes of hippocampal neurons were observed by Nissl staining.The expression of glutamate transporter 1(GLT-1)and glial fi-brillary acidic protein(GFAP)in CA1 region was determined by immunofluorescence.The protein expressions of PI3K,p-PI3K,Akt,p-Akt,CREB and p-CREB were determined by Western blot.Results:Through the rat TS mod-el,adenosine was able to improve the learning and memory ability,improve the hippocampal neuron cell morphological abpormality and vacuolation,nucleolar condensation and other phenomena in rats.Immunofluorescence results showed that GLT-1 and GFAP were co-localized,and adenosine could significantly enhance the fluorescence intensity of GFAP and GLT-1.Western blot results showed that adenosine can enhance the expression of p-PI3K,p-Akt,and p-CREB proteins,but the use of Akt inhibitors can to some extent inhibit the phosphorylation of PI3K,Akt,and CREB.Conclusion:Adenosine may enhance the expression of GLT-1 in astrocytes and increase the clearance of glutamate through activation of PI3K/Akt/CREB signaling pathway,thereby reducing the excitotoxicity and improving recognition and memory function.However,this effect is partially blocked by Akt inhibitors.

Objective To observe early changes of left atrial strain and left atrial stiffness index(LASI)in rabbits with left ventricular myocardial injury induced by adriamycin(ADM).Methods Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group(n=12)and control group(n=6),while 2 mg/kg ADM was injected into rabbits in experimental group and 5 ml physiological saline was injected into rabbits in control group every week for a total of 4 weeks.Ultrasound examination was performed before injection of ADM/physiological saline,2 and 4 weeks after injection,respectively.Left atrial anteroposterior diameter(LAAPD),left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),lateral wall of mitral ring of early peak flow velocity(e),mitral valve orifice early peak flow velocity(E)/e,left ventricular global longitudinal strain(LVGLS),right ventricular collectivity long axis strain(RVCLS),left atrial strain during reservoir phase(LASr),left atrial strain during conduit phase(LAScd),left atrial strain during contraction phase(LASct)and LASI were obtained and analyzed.After ultrasound examination,myocardial changes were observed with pathological examination.Results Four weeks after injection,e in experimental group was significantly lower than that before injection,also lower than that 2 and 4 weeks after injection in control group(all P＜0.05).Significant differences of LASr,LAScd,LASct and LASI were found among different time points between groups(all P＜0.05).Two and 4 weeks after injection,the above 4 parameters in experimental group were all significantly different with those in control group(all P＜0.05).LASr,LASct and LASI were different among different time points,while LAScd before injection was higher than that 2 and 4 weeks after injection in experimental group(all P＜0.05).The pathological findings supported ultrasonic changes.Conclusion In early stage of ADM induced left ventricular myocardial injury in rabbits,changes of left atrial strain and LASI could be seen,which were more significant than those of LVGLS,RVCLS and LVEF,etc.
