ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the material basis of the anti-inflammatory efficacy and mechanism of action of Bushen Tongdu prescription （BSTDP）. MethodsThe chemical components of BSTDP and its blood-absorbed components in vivo were systematically identified by using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-linear ion trap-electrostatic field orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC-LIT-Orbitrap-MS）. Network pharmacology was employed to screen blood-absorbed bioactive components and potential targets of this formula. A protein-protein interaction （PPI） network of core targets was constructed to conduct enrichment analysis. Molecular docking was further utilized to verify the binding affinity between key components and targets. The inflammatory model was established and verified in vivo by using a transgenic zebrafish Tg （mpx： GFP）. At three days post-fertilization （3 dpf）， larvae of zebrafish were randomly assigned to blank group， model group， positive drug dexamethasone acetate group （75 μmol·L^-1）， and BSTDP groups with low， medium， and high doses （500， 1 000， and 2 000 mg·L^-1）. The distribution and quantity of neutrophils in the yolk sac region were observed under a fluorescence microscope. The mRNA expression levels of key genes in the toll-like receptor 4 （TLR4）/myeloid differentiation factor 88 （MyD88）/nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB） signaling pathway and inflammatory factors including interleukin （IL）-1β， IL-6， and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） were detected by Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR）. ResultsA total of 120 chemical components were identified in BSTDP， among which 26 original components were confirmed by using serum pharmacochemical methods. A total of 227 common targets linking rheumatoid arthritis （RA） and the blood-absorbed components were screened by network pharmacology. It is suggested that pseudobrucine， vomicine， sinapine， rehmannioside， cinnamyl alcohol glycoside， and methylephedrine exert anti-inflammatory effects by acting on core targets including protein kinase B1 （Akt1）， signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 （STAT3）， tumor necrosis factor （TNF）， TLR4， mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 （MAPK14）， and phosphatidylinositol-4，5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit α （PIK3CA）， thereby modulating multiple signaling pathways such as TLR4 and NF-κB. In vivo verification in zebrafish demonstrates that the maximum tolerable concentration of Bushen Tongdu Formula is 2 000 mg·L^-1. Compared to those in the blank group， zebrafish in the model group showed a significantly higher number of neutrophils in the yolk sac region （P<0.01） and rising mRNA levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β （P<0.01）. Compared to that in the model group， the number of neutrophils was significantly reduced in BSTDP groups with medium and high doses， as well as the dexamethasone acetate group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. There was no statistically significant difference in the low dose group. The mRNA expression levels of TLR4， MyD88， NF-κB， TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β were significantly down-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionThis paper identifies the material basis of the efficacy of BSTDP， demonstrating that the formula can exert an anti-inflammatory effect through the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway. The results provide scientific experimental evidence for its further clinical application.

In recent years, the research focus gradually shifted from basic mechanisms to personalized and precise multifunctional rehabilitation strategies. ConclusionThe field of SCS for SCI has undergone phases of basic mechanism exploration and clinical application expansion. Current research hotspots and future trends focus primarily on the development of new stimulation paradigms and combined innovative technologies.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanisms by which Huanglian Jiedutang （HLJDT） modulates microglial （MG） phenotypes through the sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectin 2 （SIGLEC2/CD22）/Src-homology-2-domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase-1 （SHP-1）/phosphorylated protein kinase B （p-Akt） signaling pathway， thereby promoting myelin repair and alleviating agitation-like behaviors in vascular dementia （VAD）. MethodsSixty C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to a sham （normal） group， model group， HLJDT low-， medium-， and high-dose groups （2.5， 5， and 10 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， and a risperidone group （2 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， with 10 mice per group. VAD was induced by bilateral common carotid artery stenosis （BCAS）. From day 42， mice received drug interventions for 2 weeks. Agitation-like behaviors were assessed using the resident-intruder test. After behavioral testing， ventrolateral part of the ventromedial hypothalamus （VMHvl） tissues were collected. Western blot was used to measure protein levels of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein （MOG）， myelin basic protein （MBP）， proteolipid protein （PLP）， inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， arginase-1 （Arg1）， CD86， CD206， and CD22， SHP-1， and p-Akt. Immunofluorescence was used to evaluate myelin-associated glycoprotein （MAG） intensity and the proportion of iNOS⁺/ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba1）⁺ cells. ELISA was used to detect tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin （IL）-6， and IL-1β. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group exhibited markedly increased biting and aggressive behaviors and shortened attack latency （P<0.01）. MOG， MBP， and PLP protein levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. INOS and CD86 expression and TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β levels were significantly elevated （P<0.01）. CD22 and SHP-1 expression increased significantly （P<0.01）， whereas p-Akt expression decreased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the medium- and high-dose HLJDT groups and the risperidone group showed markedly reduced biting and aggression （P<0.05， P<0.01） and prolonged attack latency （P<0.01）. MOG， MBP， and PLP levels and MAG fluorescence intensity were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. INOS， CD86， TNF-α， IL-6， and IL-1β levels decreased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. CD22 and SHP-1 expression decreased， while p-Akt expression increased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionHLJDT may modulate CD22/SHP-1/p-Akt signaling in the VMHvl， promote the shift of MG toward an anti-inflammatory and phagocytic phenotype， enhance myelin repair， and improve agitation-like behaviors in VAD mice.

Hepatic fibrosis（HF） is a common pathological link of a variety of chronic hepatic diseases， and its complex pathological mechanism and prolonged clinical course pose a major challenge to modern medicine. Modern conventional therapies for HF cannot reverse the pathological vascular remodeling of the liver， and targeted vascular treatment for HF is a current research hotspot. There is a contradiction between the inhibition of pathological repair and the promotion of physiological regeneration with a single targeted therapy. The dynamic equilibrium concept of "achieving equilibrium of Yin and Yang" of traditional Chinese medicine can provide a new treatment strategy， and multi-target traditional Chinese medicine compounds can achieve two-way regulation of pathological mechanisms. According to the research on the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine， the "collaterals and vascular system" are highly compatible in structure and function， and they can guide the treatment of HF at different stages by identifying their common pathological links in HF. The intrahepatic collaterals are an important component of the hepatic collaterals， and the theory of "hepatic collateral disease" based on this physiology has important guiding significance for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of HF. Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction caused by endothelial dysfunction in the early stage of HF is a pathological manifestation of stagnant nutrient Yin in collateral passages. It can be treated by diffusing Qi to resolve stagnation and promoting circulation to unblock collaterals. Repeated stimulation of angiogenesis by hypoxia and inflammation in the medium stage is the pathological manifestation of lingering stagnation of damp and heat in collateral passages. It can be treated by clearing and draining damp and heat， eliminating turbidity， and unblocking collaterals. Pathological vascular remodeling induced by hemodynamic abnormalities in the later stage is a pathological manifestation of the consumption of collateral passages by pathogenic toxins. At this stage with excessive pathogenic factors and deficient healthy Qi， combined therapy of dredging and nourishing is adopted to eliminate toxins， resolve blood stasis， nourish Yin， and supplement Qi simultaneously. Moreover， the holistic concept of harmony between human and nature in traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the time， place， and treatment based on individual conditions， so the practical application of the theory should consider the specific regional characteristics. This paper aims to discuss the characteristics of pathogenesis， treatment principles， prescriptions， and medicines in different stages of HF based on the correlation between "collaterals and vascular system" as well as the theory of "hepatic collateral disease". It was proposed that Qi deficiency and collateral obstruction were the core pathogenesis of HF， and that hepatic collateral damage was the core pathological basis for the deterioration and prognosis of HF. The scientific connotation and pathogenesis evolution of collateral damage and mass generation in HF were discussed. Sichuan was taken as an example to investigate the treatment of HF according to local conditions， providing new ideas for the treatment of HF.

This paper systematically analyzes schistosomiasis transmission risks during the elimination stage and reviews the evolution of the schistosomiasis surveillance system in China from a One Health perspective, with a special emphasis on schistosomiasis surveillance and response practices during the elimination stage from a One Health perspective. These practices include precise screening of human schistosomiasis under low-endemicity conditions, systematic monitoring of schistosomiasis in domestic and wild animals, ecological management of Oncomelania snails, and information-coordinated responses. Nevertheless, the current surveillance and response system for schistosomiasis suffers from challenges of insufficient cross-sectoral coordination and complex external environments, which constrain precise schistosomiasis surveillance and response in China. Therefore, it is urgently necessary to integrate coordination mechanisms, empower the surveillance system with technological innovation, improve capacity building, and actively promote diverse social participation in the One Health framework, so as to consolidate current schistosomiasis control achievements and achieve the target for schistosomiasis elimination across China, which may provide a replicable technical model for global zoonoses control.

OBJECTIVE To develop evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the use of hemostatic drugs in special populations， so as to improve the efficacy and safety of medication.METHODS Led by the Sichuan Academy of Medical Sciences & Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital， a working group of 79 experts covering clinical pharmacy， obstetrics and gynecology， pediatrics and other fields was established. Clinical questions regarding the efficacy and safety of hemostatic drugs in special populations were screened through literature review and two rounds of Delphi questionnaire surveys. Intervention questions were structured using the population， intervention， comparison， and outcome framework， while management questions were additionally described using the population， clinical setting, management measure， and outcome framework. Databases including Medline， Embase， Cochrane Library， CNKI， Wanfang Data， and VIP were systematically searched to collect and screen relevant evidence. Recommendations were formulated through recommendation questionnaire surveys and expert consensus meetings， and the quality of evidence and strength of recommendations were graded according to the Grading of Recommendations Assessment， Development and Evaluation system. RESULTS &CONCLUSIONS A total of 8 clinical questions were finally determined， the consensus rates of all clinical questions and recommendations were more than 90%， and 8 recommendations on the use of hemostatic drugs in special populations were formulated. These recommendations cover special populations including children， women during pregnancy/puerperium/lactation， the elderly， patients with hepatic impairment， patients in the perioperative period of liver transplantation， patients with renal impairment/on dialysis/in the perioperative period of kidney transplantation， immunocompromised patients， and patients with hematological diseases. The recommendations specify the applicable scenarios， dose adjustment principles， monitoring indicators， and safety management strategies of hemostatic drugs in different special populations， which can provide a reference for the clinical application of hemostatic drugs in special populations and help clinicians and pharmacists develop individualized medication plans.

Breast cancer is one of the most common malignant tumors among women worldwide, with an increasing incidence rate year by year, making it a significant public health concern. With the continuous advancement of tumor biology research, N 6-methyladenosine (m 6A) modification, as an important form of RNA modification, has attracted growing attention. The m 6A modification, the most prevalent RNA modification in eukaryotes, occurs in almost all types of RNA and plays a critical role in the occurrence, progression, and metastasis of breast cancer. It influences cell proliferation, apoptosis, and alterations in the tumor microenvironment, though the specific mechanisms underlying these effects require further in-depth investigation. Moreover, the specific patterns of m 6A modification demonstrate its potential as a novel biomarker for breast cancer, which could provide new directions for early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation.

Objective:To investigate the value of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( 18F-FDG) PET/CT in the differential diagnosis of primary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (PIDLBCL) and colon cancer in the ileocecal region. Methods:A total of 42 patients with ileocecal tumors admitted to Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from June 2013 to December 2023 were selected as the study objects, including 17 cases of PIDLBCL and 25 cases of colon cancer. General data and 18F-FDG PET/CT parameters were compared between patients with PIDLBCL and colon cancer in the ileocecal region. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors for the differential diagnosis of PIDLBCL and colon cancer in the ileocecal region. The receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of independent influencing factors. Results:There were statistically significant differences in tumor length diameter ( Z=-2.63, P=0.009), maximum thickness ( Z=-3.26, P=0.001), ileal involvement ( χ2=6.04, P=0.014), intestinal dilation ( χ2=10.38, P=0.001), maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max) ( Z=-3.73, P<0.001), SUV mean ( Z=-3.40, P<0.001), metabolic tumor volume ( Z=-2.37, P=0.018) and total lesion glycolysis ( Z=-2.93, P=0.003) between patients with PIDLBCL and colon cancer in the ileocecal region. Multivariate analysis showed that SUV max ( OR=1.16, 95% CI: 1.04-1.31, P=0.011) and intestinal dilation ( OR=6.64, 95% CI: 1.13-39.10, P=0.036) were both independent influencing factors for the differential diagnosis of PIDLBCL and colon cancer in the ileocecal region. ROC curve analysis showed that, the areas under the curve of SUV max and intestinal dilation for the differential diagnosis of PIDLBCL and colon cancer in the ileocecal region were 0.84 (95% CI: 0.70-0.94) and 0.73 (95% CI: 0.58-0.86), respectively. The optimal cut-off value for SUV max was determined to be 19.14, with a sensitivity of 70.6% and a specificity of 88.0%, while intestinal dilation exhibited a sensitivity of 58.8% and a specificity of 88.0%. Conclusions:18F-FDG PET/CT can be used for the differential diagnosis of PIDLBCL and colon cancer in the ileocecal region, and SUV max and intestinal dilation have high diagnostic efficacy.
