Tripterygium wilfordii multiglucoside,the primary active constituent of the Chinese materia medica of Tripterygium wilfordii,has anti-inflammatory and immune-regulation properties and is widely used to treat kidney and rheumatic and immunological diseases.However,the potential adverse effects of Tripterygium wilfordii multiglucoside on pediatric gonadal development have limited its clinical application in pediatrics.According to the traditional Chinese medicine theory,the reproductive toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii is closely associated with deficiency in kidney essence and tian gui disorder.Based on the"kidney essence-tian gui"theory,this study elucidates the transformation of"kidney essence to tian gui"through the qi transformation of"original noumenon to supreme ultimate,"which is synergistically regulated by the accumulation of kidney qi,consolidation of spleen qi,and conveyance and dispersion of liver qi.It is channeled through the interconnected pathways of the thoroughfare channel,conception channel,and governor channel.The physiological process of"kidney essence to tian gui"is damaged by the bitter,cold,and toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii,leading to kidney asthenia,spleen deficiency,liver depression,and meridian stagnation,causing tian gui dysregulation.Therefore,this study offers traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment strategies for pediatric medication safety,including nourishing the kidney essence to replenish the tian gui source,enhancing the middle jiao to strengthen the tian gui guard,regulating liver qi to promote the operation of tian gui,and unblocking the thoroughfare channel,conception channel,and governor channel to ensure the unobstructed pathway of tian gui.
2.Foreign military flight fatigue management:a comprehensive study of monitoring,prevention and recovery strategies
Space Medicine & Medical Engineering 2025;36(3):283-288
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of foreign military flight fatigue management strategies,covering monitoring,prevention and recovery.Although progress has been made in the gradual shift from traditional subjective scale measurements to objective measurements,the existing monitoring techniques are inadequate in terms of sensitivity,specificity and accuracy.Cutting-edge monitoring technologies such as psychomotor alertness test combined with eye tracking,simulated flight monitoring technology,and real-time fatigue EEG monitoring continue to emerge,but face challenges in application.For prevention and recovery,the current main reliance is on medication and flight duration control,with medication having side effects and tolerance issues,and flight duration control being limited in improving efficiency.New ideas such as sleep management and emotion channeling provide new directions for fatigue relief.Foreign military experience provides reference for China to build a flight fatigue management system,and China should take into account the national conditions,develop cutting-edge monitoring technology,strengthen non-pharmaceutical interventions,and enhance pilots'flight safety,security and combat capability.

Pediatric lupus nephritis(LN),the most severe visceral complication of systemic lupus erythematosus,is characterized by hematuria,proteinuria,and progressive renal dysfunction.It typically presents with an insidious onset,rapid progression,a prolonged disease course,and an unfavorable long-term prognosis.Currently,no consensus exists on the etiology,pathogenesis,or diagnostic-treatment framework for pediatric LN.Based on clinical experience,the proposed core pathogenesis involves"latent pathogens in the triple energizer membrane system with deficiency-induced toxin activation."This mechanism entails the intermingling of heat and blood stasis,forming pathogenic factors that lodge within the triple energizer membrane system.In states of healthy qi deficiency,internal and external factors interact,allowing pathogenic toxins to damage the viscera via the triple energizer membrane network,ultimately targeting the kidneys.The disease progression is classified into three distinct phases.In the latent pathogen phase,internal or external pathogens accumulate in the triple energizer membrane system.Treatment emphasizes pathogen elimination,heat clearance,and healthy qi preservation.In the active renal involvement phase,latent pathogens rapidly disseminate systemically via the membrane network,destabilizing renal essence and causing micro-substance leakage.Treatment focuses on toxin resolution,stasis dispersion,membrane regulation,and renal stabilization.During the triple energizer residual phase,incomplete restoration of healthy qi permits the persistence of dormant pathogens,predisposing to reactivation.Therapeutic focus during this phase includes qi consolidation to restore primordial essence,residual pathogen clearance,and mitigating disease recurrence to delay chronic renal deterioration.This phase-specific differentiation-treatment strategy aims to address disease complexity while optimizing therapeutic outcomes through targeted interventions.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of thyme herbal tea (BLX) on the proliferation of human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43) in vitro and in vivo. MethodThe chemical composition of BLX was analyzed by UPLC-MS. The cytotoxicity of BLX in HRT-18 cells and the effect of BLX treatment on the proliferation of HCoV-OC43 in cells were analyzed. Copies of viral gene were detected by real-time PCR. The effect of BLX treatment on the life cycle of HCoV-OC43 was detected by time-of-addition assay. The maximum tolerated dose of BLX and the influences of BLX on the body weight and survival time of suckling mice infected with HCoV-OC43 were determined. The expression of viral protein in the brain and lung tissue was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. ResultThere were 11 chemical components identified in BLX by UPLC-MS. BLX showed the 50% cytotoxic concentration (CC50) of (13 859.56±319) mg·L-1, the median inhibitory concentration (IC50) of (1 439.09±200) mg·L-1, and the selection index of 8.26-11.44 for HCoV-OC43 in HRT-18 cells. Compared with the cells infected with HCoV-OC43, BLX at the concentrations of 1 500, 1 000, 500 mg·L-1 inhibited the proliferation of this virus (P<0.05, P<0.01). BLX exhibited antiviral effect in the early stage of virus infection, and the inhibition role in the attachment stage was more significant than that in the entry stage (P<0.05). In the suckling mice infected with HCoV-OC43, BLX at 1200 and 600 mg·kg-1·d-1 alleviated the symptoms, prolonged the survival period, reduced the death rate, and down-regulated the mRNA level of nucleocapsid protein in the mice. Moreover, BLX at 1 200 mg·kg-1·d-1 down-regulated the expression of nucleocapsid protein in the brain (P<0.01) and the lung (P<0.01). ConclusionBLX contained multiple antiviral ingredients. It inhibited the proliferation of HCoV-OC43 both in vitro and in vivo by interference with viral attachment. This study provides theoretical reference for the treatment of acute respiratory tract infection with HCoV-OC43 and for further development and application of BLX.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and the clinical significance of relevant parame-ters of blood in psoriasis vulgaris(PV). Methods A retrospective analysis among 38 PV patients and 40 normal controls was done. The comparing parameters contained NLR,CRP,total cholesterol,triglyceride,serum uric acid.Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect the correlations.Results NLR,total cholesterol,triglyceride, serum uric acid in psoriasis vulgaris patients were significantly higher than in the normal controls(P < 0.05). There was a statistically significant correlation between NLR and PASI in the PV patients,but no correlation of CRP with NLR and PASI(P > 0.05). In the patients with PASI ≥ 7,the serum uric acid level was significantly higher than in those with PASI < 7. Conclusions NLR is indicateive of the severity and state of inflammation. The severer PV,the higher the level of serum uric acid.
