The development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment has undergone multiple paradigms, evolving from sporadic experiential practices to systematic approaches in syndrome differentiation and treatment and further integration of disease and syndrome frameworks. TCM is a vital component of the medical system, valued alongside Western medicine. Treatment based on syndrome differentiation embodies both personalized treatment and holistic approaches; however, the inconsistency and lack of stability in syndrome differentiation limit clinical efficacy. The existing integration of diseases and syndromes primarily relies on patchwork and embedded systems, where the full advantages of synergy between Chinese and Western medicine are not fully realized. Recently, driven by the development of diagnosis and treatment concepts and advances in analytical technology, Western medicine has been rapidly transforming from a traditional biological model to a precision medicine model. TCM faces a similar need to progress beyond traditional syndrome differentiation and disease-syndrome integration toward a more precise diagnosis and treatment paradigm. Unlike the micro-level precision trend of Western medicine, precision diagnosis and treatment in TCM is primarily reflected in data-driven applications that incorporate information at various levels, including precise syndrome differentiation, medication, disease management, and efficacy evaluation. The current priority is to accelerate the development of TCM precision diagnosis and treatment technology platforms and advance discipline construction in this area.

Objective:To examine the prevention effecacy and safety of preprotein convertase subtilisin-kexin 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors in stroke in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) at primary and secondary prevention.Methods:PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Wanfang and CNKI databases were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing evolocumab, alirocumab, tafolecimab or inclisiran (experimental group) with placebo or conventional therapy (control group) in hyperlipidemia and ASCVD from inception to March 2024. Valid data were extracted after screening and applying Cochrane Literature quality assessment tool to assess the literature quality. Efficacy outcome (incidences of stroke and ischemic stroke) and safety outcome (cardiovascular mortality, and incidences of aminotransferase increased by more than 3 times, creatine kinase increased by more than 3 times, allergic reaction and hemorrhagic stroke) were recorded. Meta analysis of the extracted data was conducted using Stata software to calculate the risk difference ( RD). Results:Twenty articles (21 randomized controlled trials) were included with 62 799 patients. For primary prevention, no significant difference was found between PCSK9 inhibitors and control groups in stroke incidence ( RD=0.000, 95% CI: -0.002-0.003, P=0.905) or ischemic stroke incidence ( RD=0.001, 95% CI: -0.005-0.006, P=0.824); incidence of creatine kinase increased by more than 3 times in the PCSK9 inhibitors group was significantly decreased compared with that in the control group ( RD=-0.005, 95% CI: -0.010-0.000, P=0.039). For secondary prevention, PCSK9 inhibitors group had significantly reduced stroke incidence ( RD=-0.004, 95% CI: -0.006--0.002, P<0.001) and ischemic stroke incidence ( RD=-0.003, 95% CI: -0.005--0.002, P<0.001) compared with control group; no significant differences in cardiovascular mortality, or incidences of aminotransferase increased by more than 3 times, creatine kinase increased by more than 3 times, allergic reaction and hemorrhagic stroke were noted between the PCSK9 inhibitors group and control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:PCSK9 inhibitors in primary prevention have no significant effect on stroke or ischemic stroke incidences, but can decrease the incidence of creatine kinase increased by more than 3 times; PCSK9 inhibitors in secondary prevention can reduce stroke and ischemic stroke incidences without increasing complications and thus enjoying certain safety.
