ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

Lung cancer constitutes the most prevalent and lethal malignant tumor in China. Approximately 85% of lung cancer diagnoses correspond to the non-small cell histological subtype [non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)]. Despite surgery being the mainstay for early-stage disease, postoperative recurrence remains high and adjuvant chemotherapy offers limited benefit. In recent years, targeted therapy has demonstrated substantial advantages in driver mutation-positive NSCLC. To this end, the Lung Cancer Medical Education Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association developed guidelines based on a systematic review of evidence through November 2025, using the Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations (GRADE) approach and a modified Delphi method. Focusing on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), and addressing ROS proto-oncogene 1 (ROS1), B-Raf proto-oncogene serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) V600E mutation, and mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET) exon 14 (METex14) skipping, the guideline covers molecular testing, neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy, perioperative strategies, minimal residual disease monitoring, and postoperative surveillance. It defines testing requirements, specifies stage-directed and subtype-specific treatments, and standardizes minimal residual disease monitoring. These recommendations emphasize precision and feasibility to improve survival and quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of MIR149 rs2292832 and MIR499 rs3746444 gene polymorphisms on the efficacy of tofacitinib combined with iguratimod in the treatment of moderate‑to‑severe rheumatoid arthritis （RA）， to provide genetic reference for individualized treatment of moderate‑to‑severe RA patients.METHODS This was a prospective cohort study， and patients were grouped according to genotyping results. A total of 320 patients with moderate-to-severe RA diagnosed in the department of immunology of our hospital between January 2023 and January 2024 were enrolled. All patients received standardized treatment with tofacitinib （5 mg twice daily） combined with iguratimod （25 mg twice daily） for 24 weeks treatment course. Clinical efficacy outcomes， including American College of Rheumatology （ACR） 20/50/70 responses， disease activity score‑28 based on C‑reactive protein （DAS28-CRP）， erythrocyte sedimentation rate （ESR） and C-reactive protein （CRP）， were compared among patients with different genotypes. Combined-genotype analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were also performed.RESULTS The MIR149 rs2292832 CC-genotype patients exhibited significantly higher ACR20， ACR50 and ACR70 response rates （88.90%， 67.78%， 45.56%） than those carrying CT- and TT-genotypes （ P ＜0.05）. After 24 weeks treatment， the reductions in DAS28‑CRP， ESR and CRP were significantly greater in CC‑genotype patients than in CT‑ and TT‑genotype patients （ P ＜0.05）， and the 24‑week DAS28‑CRP was significantly lower in the CC‑genotype patients than in CT‑ and TT‑genotype patients （ P ＜0.05）. The MIR499 rs3746444 GG-genotype showed significantly higher ACR20， ACR50 and ACR70 response rates （91.46%， 73.17%， 52.44%） than those carrying AG‑ and AA‑genotypes （ P ＜0.05）. After 24 weeks of treatment， the reductions in DAS28‑CRP， ESR and CRP were significantly greater in GG‑genotype patients than in AG- and AA-genotype patients and the 24‑weeks DAS28‑CRP was significantly lower in the GG‑genotype patients than in AG- and AA-genotype patients （ P ＜0.05）. Among the nine combined‑genotyps， the CC+GG genotype yielded the best treatment response. The MIR149 rs2292832 CC and MIR499 rs3746444 GG genotypes were independent predictors of clinical remission （ P ＜0.01）， whereas baseline DAS28‑CRP ≥ 6.5 served as a negative predictor of clinical remission （ P ＜0.05）.CONCLUSIONS Gene polymorphisms of MIR149 rs2292832 and MIR499 rs3746444 significantly influence the therapeutic effect of tofacitinib combined with iguratimod in patients with moderate-to-severe RA. Patients carrying CC and GG genotypes achieve better treatment responses.

This article summarizes professor ZHANG Zhen's clinical experience in treating perimenopausal insomnia using the method of soothing and regulating qi and calming the mind， based on the Ziwu-Liuzhu（midnight-noon ebb-flow） theory. The basic pathogenesis of the disease is considered to involve dysregulation of qi movement and disturbance of the circadian rhythm of yin and yang. Shutiao Anshen Decoction （疏调安神汤） is taken as the basic formula， with modifications guided by the zang-fu （脏腑） organ time correspondence of the Ziwu-Liuzhu theory. Based on the temporal characteristics of insomnia， the condition is classified into three patterns for syndrome differentiation and treatment， including difficulty falling asleep at night， awakening during the middle of the night， and early-morning awakening. Difficulty falling asleep at night tends to occur around the transition from the Hai （亥） hour to the Zi （子） hour. Its pathogenesis is characterized by liver constraint and qi stagnation， with yang failing to enter yin. Treatment should focus on soothing the liver， facilitating the pivotal movement of qi， and guiding yang into yin. For cases dominated by qi stagnation， Shutiao Anshen Decoction （疏调安神汤） may be supplemented with herbs that promote qi movement； for cases with constraint heat， heat-clearing medicinals may be added. Awakening during the middle of the night commonly occurs during the Chou （丑） hour， when the liver channel is predominant. The underlying pathogenesis is liver channel constraint-heat disturbing the Hun （魂） and impairing its anchoring. Treatment should clear liver heat， calm the hun， and tranquilize the mind. Mild cases may be treated with Shutiao Anshen Decoction combined with liver-calming medicinals， whereas severe cases may require formulas that clear liver fire and settle the mind with heavy tranquilizing medicinals. Early-morning awakening commonly occurs during the Yin （寅） hour， when the lung channel is predominant. Its pathogenesis involves lung-spleen-kidney deficiency， resulting in failure of qi to contain yang. Treatment should fortify the spleen， tonify the kidney， replenish qi， restrain yang， and concurrently eliminate residual pathogenic factors. For Lung-spleen qi deficiency， Shutiao Anshen Decoction may be supplemented with qi-tonifying medicinals； for kidney yin deficiency， yin-nourishing medicinals may be added.

Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) are one of the major populations susceptible to tuberculosis. However, little is known about the unique characteristics and diagnostic biomarkers of tuberculosis in this population. In this study, 81 AYAs were recruited, and the high-quality serum proteome of the AYAs with tuberculosis was profiled by quantitative proteomics. The data of serum proteomics indicated that the relative abundance of hemoglobin and apolipoprotein was significantly reduced in the patients with active tuberculosis (ATB). The pathway enrichment analysis showed that the downregulated proteins in the ATB group were mainly involved in the antioxidant and cell detoxification pathways, indicating extensive oxidative stress damage. Random forest (RF) and extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) were employed to evaluate protein importance, which yielded a set of candidate proteins that can distinguish between ATB and non-ATB. The analysis with the support vector machine algorithm (recursive feature elimination) suggested that the combination of apolipoprotein A-I (APOA1), hemoglobin subunit beta (HBB), and hemoglobin subunit alpha-1 (HBA1) had the highest accuracy and sensitivity in diagnosing ATB. Meanwhile, the levels of hemoglobin (HGB) and albumin (ALB) can be used as blood biochemical indicators to evaluate changes in the protein levels of APOA1 and HBB. This study established the serum proteome landscape of AYAs with tuberculosis and identified new biomarkers for the diagnosis of tuberculosis in this population.

Objective To explore the correlation between stroke etiology and clinical and imaging features in patients with acute ischemic stroke(AIS)due to large vessel occlusion treated by intravascular thrombectomy.Methods A total of 213 patients with AIS and endovascular embolectomy in our hospital from Oct.2016 to Jun.2018 were enrolled retrospectively.According to the etiological classification criteria of Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment(TOAST),there were 116 cases of cardioembolism and 97 cases of non-cardioembolism.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to screen the clinical and imaging characteristics for identifying cardioembolism and non-cardioembolism.Results Compared with non-cardioembolism AIS,cardioembolism AIS was associated with higher NIHSS scores(adjusted odds ratio[OR]=1.09,95%confidence interval[95%CI]1.01-1.18,P=0.02),atrial fibrillation(adjusted OR=76.46,95%CI 26.75-218.51,P＜0.01),absence of hypertension(adjusted OR=0.32,95%CI 0.12-0.84,P=0.02),antiplatelet drug use(adjusted OR=5.03,95%CI 1.22-20.63,P=0.03),shorter onset-to-puncture time(adjusted OR=0.998,95%CI 0.996-1.000,P=0.04),and presence of hyperdense artery sign(HAS)(adjusted OR=4.45,95%CI 1.47-13.49,P=0.01).Conclusion There are some differences in clinical and imaging characteristics between patients with cardioembolism and non-cardioembolism AIS.The occurrence of HAS suggests a higher probability of cardioembolism in AIS patients.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xiaoji Hufei Formula in protecting children with close contact exposure to influenza， and to provide reference and evidence-based support for better clinical prevention and treatment of influenza in children. MethodsA multicenter， prospective， non-randomized， parallel， controlled trial was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022 in five hospitals， including Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. Confirmed influenza cases and influenza-like illness （ILI） cases were collected， and eligible children with close contact exposure to these cases were recruited in the outpatient clinics. According to whether the enrolled close contacts were willing to take Xiaoji Hufei formula for influenza prevention， they were assigned to the observation group （108 cases） or the control group （108 cases）. Follow-up visits were conducted on days 7 and 14 after enrollment. The primary outcomes were the incidence of ILI and the rate of laboratory-confirmed influenza. Secondary outcomes included traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） symptom score scale for influenza， influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate， influenza hospitalization rate， and time to onset after exposure to influenza cases. ResultsA total of 216 participants were enrolled， with 108 in the observation group and 108 in the control group. Primary outcomes： （1） Incidence of ILI： The incidence was 12.0% （13/108） in the observation group and 23.1% （25/108） in the control group， with the observation group showing a significantly lower incidence （χ²=4.6， P<0.05）. （2） Influenza confirmation rate： 3.7% （4/108） in the observation group and 4.6% （5/108） in the control group， with no statistically significant difference. Secondary outcomes： （1） TCM symptom score scale： after onset， nasal congestion and runny nose scores differed significantly between the two groups （P<0.05）， while other symptoms such as fever， sore throat， and cough showed no significant differences. （2） Influenza-related emergency （outpatient） visit rate： 84.6% （11 cases） in the observation group and 96.0% （24 cases） in the control group， with no significant difference. （3） Time to onset after exposure： The median onset time after exposure to index patients was 7 days in the observation group and 4 days in the control group， with a statistically significant difference （P<0.05）. ConclusionIn previously healthy children exposed to infectious influenza cases under unprotected conditions， Xiaoji Hufei formula prophylaxis significantly reduced the incidence of ILI. Xiaoji Hufei Formula can be recommended as a specific preventive prescription for influenza in children.

Objective To investigate the genetic characteristics of the VP1 region of Coxsackievirus A10 (CVA10) in Yunnan Province. Methods Fecal samples of suspected hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) were subjected to real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR for detection of enterovirus CVA10. Positive samples were subjected to VP1 gene sequence amplification and Sanger sequencing. Sequence splicing was performed with DNAstar7.1 Seqman software, and nucleotide sequence and amino acid site analysis were performed using Mega 6.0 software. Results The sequencing of VP1 gene of CVA10 obtained a sequence of 894 nucleotides, encoding 298 amino acids. Compared with the original strain, there were mainly three active amino acid mutation regions, 13-33, 141-142, and 283-285. The nucleotide difference rate between the Yunnan isolates and the reference strain ranged from 16.92% to 30.90%, and the amino acid difference rate ranged from 2.58% to 4.00%. C1 and C2 group nucleotide difference was 10.58%, and the amino acid difference rate was 1.80%. The VP1 150-176 region exhibited highly conserved characteristics. Six CVA10 strains and Sichuan strain MW178898 belonged to the C1 group of the C genotype. The other 14 CVA10 strains belonged to the C2 group. Conclusion VP1 gene mutation is active and CVA10 is an important pathogen of HFMD in Yunnan. C2 genotype of CVA10 is dominant in this study, and C1 and C2 have co-circulated in Yunnan. It is necessary to strengthen monitoring and develop multivalent vaccines containing CVA10 epidemic genotype.

Objective:To investigate factors influencing frequent episodes (≥ 4 episodes within 1 year) in children with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (AD) in China.Methods:A national multicenter cross-sectional study was conducted. Patients under the age of 18 years diagnosed with moderate-to-severe AD were enrolled at dermatology clinics in 18 medical institutions across 12 provinces and municipalities in China between June 12 and August 8, 2023. At the time of the visit, their guardians completed a structured questionnaire covering demographic characteristics, clinical features of AD, personal and family history, factors associated with frequent episodes of moderate-to-severe AD, compliance with treatment, and disease awareness. Statistical analyses included t tests, one-way analysis of variance, rank-sum tests, and chi-square tests, with multiple-response analysis applied for multiple-choice questions. Results:A total of 965 valid questionnaires were collected, and 965 children with moderate-to-severe AD were included. Among them, there were 531 males and 434 females, 678 (70.3%) were aged 2 - < 12 years, 837 (86.7%) were from urban areas, the age at onset was 2.47 ± 3.03 years, and the median frequency of AD episodes in the past year was 4 times. These children were divided into 2 groups based on the median episode frequency: < 4-episode group (439 cases, 45.5%) and ≥ 4-episode group (526 cases, 54.5%). Compared with the < 4-episode group, children in the ≥ 4-episode group showed younger ages at onset (2.22 ± 2.98 years vs. 2.76 ± 3.06 years, P = 0.006) and higher proportions of patients with comorbid allergic diseases in both the children themselves (82.9% [436/526] vs. 69.7% [306/439], χ2 = 23.42, P < 0.001) and their relatives (66.0% [347/526] vs. 57.4% [252/439], χ2 = 7.46, P = 0.006). Children in the ≥ 4- episode group also had higher monthly usage of moisturizers (150 [30, 300] g vs. 60 [6, 200] g) and daily frequency of moisturizer use, greater disease awareness, but more severe fear of medication use (all P < 0.05). The region and the human development index level were both significantly associated with the episode frequency (both P < 0.001), with the highest proportion of children from South China in the ≥ 4- episode group (36.3%, 191/526). Children in the ≥ 4-episode group also had a longer duration of topical glucocorticoid use than those in the < 4-episode group ( Z = -2.21, P = 0.027). External triggers associated with AD episodes mainly included heat exposure (50.36%, 486/965), hot water bathing (40.73%, 393/965), seafood (23.52%, 227/965), and dust mites (33.37%, 322/965) . Conclusion:In children with moderate-to-severe AD in China, factors influencing frequent episodes may include residence in southern or economically developed regions, earlier age at onset, having a personal or family history of allergic diseases, and fear of medication use.
