Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury （MIRI） is a major complication following coronary revascularization. Studies indicate that its pathophysiological mechanisms of MIRI are closely associated with oxidative stress， iron overload， inflammatory responses， and lipid peroxidation. Oxidative stress refers to an imbalance in redox homeostasis under pathological conditions， characterized by the abnormal accumulation of reactive oxygen species （ROS）， which disrupts the dynamic balance between pro-oxidant systems and antioxidant defense networks. In recent years， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has demonstrated unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of MIRI due to its multi-target and multi-pathway antioxidant properties. Research reveals that TCM primarily exerts protective effects against oxidative stress-induced MIRI by regulating signaling pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase （AMPK）， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB）， Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （JAK2/STAT3）， and protein kinase C beta Ⅱ/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase 2/reactive oxygen species （PKCβⅡ/NOX2/ROS）. This article reviews recent literature on TCM monomers， compound formulas， and their active components， which alleviate oxidative stress to prevent and treat MIRI by modulating the aforementioned signaling pathways. It summarizes a concise overview of the molecular mechanisms by which oxidative stress-related signaling pathways lead to MIRI， discusses how TCM regulates these pathways to reduce oxidative stress-induced MIRI， and explores clinical application prospects and research challenges， aiming to provide a theoretical reference for the research and clinical management of MIRI.

The clinical practice guidelines of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） have problems such as limited clinical application and unclear implementation effects， which may be related to the lack of clinical practice evidence. To provide reliable and precise evidence for clinical practice， this article proposes a model of combining TCM guidelines with real-world study， which includes 4 steps. Firstly， during the implementation process of the guidelines， a high-quality research database is established. Secondly， the recommendations in the guidelines are evaluated based on the established database in multiple dimensions， including applicability， effectiveness， safety， and cost-effectiveness， and thus their effectiveness in practical applications can be determined. Thirdly， based on the established database， core prescriptions are identified， and the targeted populations and medication plans are determined. That is， the best treatment regimen is established based on the analysis of abundant clinical data regarding the effects of different medication frequencies， dosages， and duration on efficacy. Fourthly， the guidelines are updated according to the real-world evidence. The research based on this model can provide real-world evidence for ancient and empirical prescriptions， improving their application in clinical practice. Moreover， this model can reduce research costs and improve research efficiency. When applying this model， researchers need to pay attention to the quality of real-world evidence， ensuring that it can truly reflect the situation in clinical practice. In addition， importance should be attached to the clinical application of guideline recommendations， ensuring that doctors can conduct standardized diagnosis and treatment according to the guidelines. Finally， full-process participation of multidisciplinary experts is encouraged to ensure the comprehensiveness and scientificity of the study. In conclusion， the application of this model will contribute to the development of TCM guidelines responsive to the needs of clinical practice and achieve the goal of promoting the homogenization of TCM clinical diagnosis and treatment.

The classification of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndromes is one of the core technical elements in the industry standard of Specification of Diagnosis and Therapeutic Effect Evaluation of Diseases and Syndromes in TCM. In the past，when clinical standards for TCM were formulated，the determination of TCM syndrome classification relied heavily on textbooks and expert experience，lacking systematic research. This approach thus failed to reflect the advancement and scientificity of the standards，thereby affecting their implementation and application. This article reviewed the presentation forms and technical methods of TCM syndrome classification，including the two-tier syndrome classification model with primary and secondary symptoms，as well as the application of modern literature research，ancient literature research，Delphi method，in-depth expert interviews，consensus conferences，and real-world research. When syndrome classification standards are developed，it is necessary to build upon modern literature research，adopt a mixed approach combining qualitative research and quantitative analysis results，and reach expert consensus through consensus conferences. Through systematic research，the scientificity，applicability，and coordination of TCM syndrome classification standards can be enhanced，providing guidance for the standardization of TCM.

Objective To explore the characteristics of vaginal microecology and vaginitis distribution of female patients in Xi'an,so as to provide reliable reference for clinical treatment.Methods A total of 102 124 women in Shaanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2018 to August 2023 were selected as the research objects.Vaginal secretions were collected from patients,and the vaginal microecology was detected and analyzed.Results Among 102 124 female patients,99.87%had vaginal microecological imbalance.The main disease types were vulvovaginal candidiasis(VVC),accounting for 16.03%,bacterial vaginitis(BV),accounting for 9.61%and trichomonal vaginitis(TV),accounting for 1.34%.Statistical analysis showed that the age of VVC,BV and TV patients was mainly 21～30 years old.The prevalence of VVC and BV in summer and autumn was higher than that in other seasons,while the prevalence of TV was relatively high in summer.In addition,there were 27 552 cases of simple vaginitis(26.98%)and 1 443 cases of mixed vaginitis(1.41%)in 101 995 female patients with vaginal microecology imbalance.In patients with mixed vaginitis,the BV+VVC combination accounted for the vast majority(79.00%),and the age group was mainly between 21 and 40 years old.Among the 28 995 patients with vaginitis,4 308 patients(14.86%)had recurrence,and the recurrence rate of simple vaginitis(11.44%,3 152/27 552)was much lower than that of mixed vaginitis(80.11%,1 156/1 443).Conclusion The main type of female simple vaginitis in Xi'an is VVC,which has a high prevalence in summer and autumn.The main type of mixed vaginitis is BV+VVC,Compared with simple vaginitis,patients with mixed infection are more likely to relapse.

Due to the non-targeted release and low solubility of anti-gastric cancer agent,apatinib(Apa),a first-line drug with long-term usage in a high dosage often induces multi-drug resistance and causes serious side effects.In order to avoid these drawbacks,lipid-film-coated Prussian blue nanoparticles(PB NPs)with hyaluronan(HA)modification was used for Apa loading to improve its solubility and targeting ability.Furthermore,anti-tumor compound of gamabufotalin(CS-6)was selected as a partner of Apa with reducing dosage for combinational gastric therapy.Thus,HA-Apa-Lip@PB-CS-6 NPs were constructed to synchro-nously transport the two drugs into tumor tissue.In vitro assay indicated that HA-Apa-Lip@PB-CS-6 NPs can synergistically inhibit proliferation and invasion/metastasis of BGC-823 cells via downregulating vascular endothelial growth factor receptor(VEGFR)and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9).In vivo assay demonstrated strongest anti-tumor growth and liver metastasis of HA-Apa-Lip@PB-CS-6 NPs adminis-tration in BGC-823 cells-bearing mice compared with other groups due to the excellent penetration in tumor tissues and outstanding synergistic effects.In summary,we have successfully developed a new nanocomplexes for synchronous Apa/CS-6 delivery and synergistic gastric cancer(GC)therapy.

Objective To systematically review the efficacy of anti-inflammatory drugs in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods Databases including PubMed,The Cochrane Library,EMbase,Web of Science,Scopus,Ovid,ProQuest,CBM,CNKI,WanFang Data,VIP and Duxiu data were electronically searched to collect randomized controlled trials(RCTs)of anti-inflammatory drugs for DN from inception to April 5,2022.Two reviewers independently screened the literature,extracted data,and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies.RevMan 5.4 software were then used to perform Meta-analysis.Results A total of 29 literature and 26 RCTs involving 4 095 patients were included.The results of Meta-analysis showed that compared with conventional treatment,conventional treatment combined with anti-inflammatory drugs could effectively reduce urinary albumin to creatinine ratio[SMD=-0.17,95％CI(-0.31,-0.03),P=0.02],urinary albumin excretion rate[SMD=-0.37,95％CI(-0.56,-0.18),P=0.000 1],urinary protein excretion rate[SMD=-0.97,95％CI(-1.29,-0.64),P=0.000 01],and glycosylated hemoglobin[SMD=-0.17,95％CI(-0.27,-0.08),P=0.000 4],while there was no significant difference in reducing serum creatinine[SMD=-0.04,95％CI(-0.19,0.1),P=0.57],urea nitrogen[MD=-0.23,95％CI(-0.50,0.04),P=0.09]and fasting blood glucose[SMD=-0.15,95％CI(-0.32,0.02),P=0.08].There was no statistically significant difference in changing glomerular filtration rate(GFR)[SMD=-0.04,95％CI(-0.15,0.07),P=0.47]with multiple drugs,except for a few drugs.Conclusion Conventional treatment combined with anti-inflammatory drugs can better improve the level of proteinuria in patients with DN,but the improvement of renal function is not obvious.Due to the limitations of the number of included studies and the duration of treatment,the above conclusion needs to be verified by more high-quality studies.

Diffusion weighted imaging is an important imaging technique for diagnosing and evaluating the effectiveness of disease treatment,mainly focusing on the overall diffusion behavior of water molecules but ignoring the microscopic movement of water molecules and the details of tissue microstructures.Combining oscillatory gradient spin-echo and pulsed gradient spin echo sequences,time-dependent diffusion MRI(td-dMRI)captured diffusion MRI signals at varying time,in order to obtain information of different microstructures,which had recently emerged into clinical application with the advancements of hardware.The principles of td-dMRI technology and its application progresses in tumors were reviewed in this article.

Objective:To perform optical surface monitoring-based three-dimensional (3D) in vivo dose verification for patients with left breast cancer undergoing deep inspiration breath-hold surface-guided radiation therapy (DIBH-SGRT) and to investigate the dosimetric differences in the target volumes and related factors affecting γ pass rates. Methods:Totally 20 patients with left breast cancer who received DIBH-SGRT at the Department of Radiation Oncology, Women′s Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University were selected. The optical surface monitoring-based intrafractional displacement deviations of the patients during DIBH were recorded. Meanwhile, electronic portal imaging device (EPID)-based in vivo dosimetry (EIVD) verification was performed for patients during the DIBH-SGRT, and γ pass rates were measured with the criteria of 2 mm/2%, 3 mm/3%, and 3 mm/5%. The dosimetric differences between planning target volumes (PTVs) and organs at risk (OARs) were analyzed based on dose-volume histograms (DVHs). Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis was employed to determine the correlation of three γ pass rates with dosimetric differences and displacement deviations. Results:The average pass rates with the criteria of 2 mm/2%, 3 mm/3%, and 3 mm/5% were determined at 73.43%, 86.00%, and 92.96%, respectively, and the average deviations between EIVD measured doses and planned doses in PTV_TB and PTV Dmean were proved to be 0.23% and 0.59%, respectively ( P > 0.05). Pearson analysis revealed that the γ pass rates exhibited a weak correlation with dosimetric differences in PTVs( R<0.7) but strong correlations with intrafractional displacement deviations in Lat and Vert directions during DIBH ( R > 0.7). Conclusions:EIVD verification can ensure the high accuracy of dose delivery in PTVs during DIBH-SGRT for left breast cancer. Additionally, the EIVD verification system has the potential to detect displacement deviations during breath holding.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of arthroscopic partial and complete repair for massive rotator cuff tears.Methods:A total of 32 patients who underwent arthroscopic partial repair of massive rotator cuff tears in the Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital from March 2016 to December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed, including 15 males and 17 females, aged 62±6.8 years (range, 51-77 years), with 5 cases on the left side and 27 cases on the right side. Cause of injury: 4 cases were injured by car accident, 8 were injured by fall, and 20 had no obvious cause. 32 patients who underwent arthroscopic complete repair of massive rotator cuff tears during the same period were included according to a sample size of 1∶1 matched based on age, sex, tear size and fat infiltration index. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) shoulder score, Simple Shoulder Test (SST) score, and range of motion. Fatty infiltration and cuff healing were assessed using the Goutallier and Sugaya classifications on MRI, respectively.Results:All patients successfully completed the surgery and were followed up for 46.1±11.3 months (range, 36-72 months). Preoperative and final follow-up VAS scores were 6.6±1.8 and 1.6±1.1 in the complete repair group, and 6.4±1.9 and 1.4±1.3 in the partial repair group. Both groups showed significant postoperative improvement ( P<0.05), with no significant difference between groups at the final follow-up ( t=-0.729, P=0.468). The ASES score, UCLA shoulder score, and SST at the final follow-up were 81.7±6.5, 28.6±2.9, and 9.8±2.5, respectively, in the complete repair group, and 82.4±7.3, 28.1±2.6, and 9.1±1.9 in the partial repair group, and the difference between the groups was not statistically significant ( P>0.05). In the complete repair group, one case underwent reverse shoulder replacement for rotator cuff re-tear two years after surgery, and one case developed pseudoparalysis for rotator cuff re-tear 8 months after surgery but had no significant pain and did not receive further treatment; in the partial repair group, two cases underwent tendon transposition surgery for shoulder pain. Conclusion:Arthroscopic partial repair improves shoulder function and reduces pain in patients with massive rotator cuff tears, with similar efficacy to complete repair and has high surgical safety.
