The Dunhuang manuscript Fuxing Jue takes the "Tangye Jingfa Tu" as the core of its theory on prescription and compatibility. Its medication principles mainly include the "five elements principle of tonifying and purging" and the "five elements principle of elimination and transformation". Based on the differentiation of deficiency and excess in the five Zang organs， it flexibly applies medicinal properties， usage， and flavor transformation for tonifying and purging， forming its unique method of medication and compatibility. In Taiyin disease， "fullness syndrome" often occurs together with "diarrhea"， and these two conditions also serve as the primary indications for the middle-regulating formulas. Among them， Lizhong Wan （Tang） mainly address Taiyin deficiency. The three Xiexin Tang （Banxia Xiexin Tang， Gancao Xiexin Tang， Shengjiang Xiexin Tang） address Taiyin deficiency accompanied by pathogenic excess. The Sini Tangand Tongmai Sini Tang primarily treat dysfunction of the liver， spleen， and kidney with impaired opening and closing of Taiyin， manifesting as diarrhea. The medicinal flavors of middle-regulating formulas are pungent， sweet， and bitter， acting directly on the spleen of Taiyin. The pungent flavor induces purging of the spleen， sweet flavor tonifies the spleen， and bitter flavor eliminates lumps. When the constituent medicinal units of middle-regulating formulas are unified， the ratio of pungent to sweet flavors reflects the tonic and purgative strength of the formula. In addition， the two decoction methods， "short-term decoction to extract Qi" and "long-term decoction to extract flavor"， also influence the formula's tonifying and purgative effects. Based on the composition of flavors and special decoction methods， this article discusses the differences in the use of middle-regulating formulas for treating "“fullness syndrome" versus "diarrhea". Dysfunction of the spleen can give rise to various diseases. Therefore， middle-regulating formulas are not limited to treating "deficiency， cold， and dampness" syndromes. Later generations of physicians further modified Lizhong Tang to treat "excess， heat， and dryness" syndromes， laying a solid foundation for more flexible and effective clinical application of middle-regulating formulas.

Based on the theory of "disease of both blood and water" in Essentials from the Golden Cabinet （《金匮要略》）， and in combination with the dynamic syndrome evolution of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction （HFpEF）， this paper systematically clarifies the pathomechanism of HFpEF， characterized by yang deficiency as the root， blood stasis as the pivotal factor and water retention as the manifestation. Accordingly， the therapeutic principles have been proposed， which are warming yang and banking up original qi to consolidate the root， activating blood and unblocking collaterals to smooth the mechanism， and promoting urination and regulating pivot to remove the branch. On this basis， a compound formula structure of "one monarch， one minister and one assistant" is established， forming an integrated intervention strategy that synergistically combines the three methods of warming yang， activating blood， and promoting urination through combined classical formulas. Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤）， which warms yang and dissolves rheum， is used to consolidate the root and directly target the source of yang deficiency， serving as the monarch； Guizhi Fuling Pills （桂枝茯苓丸）， which activates blood， promotes urination and unblocks the pivot， assists in interrupting the binding of blood stasis and water retention， serving as the minister； Tingli Dazao Xiefei Decoction （葶苈大枣泻肺汤）， which regulates qi， disperses retained fluids， and eliminates the manifestation， alleviates acute water-retention symptoms， serving as the assistant. This compound formula is warming without being drying， diuretic without being drastic， and dispels stasis without consuming blood， thereby achieving the therapeutic effects of warming yang， activating blood， and promoting urination.

Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Coupled with the substantial workload, the clinical management of lung cancer is challenged by the critical need to efficiently and accurately process increasingly complex medical information. In recent years, large language models (LLMs) technology has undergone explosive development, demonstrating unique advantages in handling complex medical data by leveraging its powerful natural language processing capabilities, and its application value in the field of lung cancer diagnosis and treatment is continuously increasing. The paper systematically analyzes that the exceptional potential of LLMs in lung cancer auxiliary diagnosis, tumor feature extraction, automatic staging, progression/outcome analysis, treatment recommendations, medical documentation generation, and patient education. However, they face critical technical and ethical challenges including inconsistent performance in complex integrated decision-making (e.g., TNM staging, personalized treatment suggestions) and "black box" opacity issues, along with dilemmas such as training data biases, model hallucinations, data privacy concerns, and cross-lingual adaptation challenges ("data colonization"). Future directions should prioritize constructing high-quality multimodal corpora specific to lung cancer, developing interpretable and compliant specialized models, and achieving seamless integration with existing clinical workflows. Through dual drivers of technological innovation and ethical standardization, LLMs should be prudently advanced for holistic lung cancer management processes, ultimately promoting efficient, standardized, and personalized diagnosis and treatment practices.

Repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is one of the commonly used brain stimulation techniques. In order to investigate the effects of rTMS on the excitability of different types of neurons, this study is conducted to investigate the effects of rTMS on the cognitive function of mice and the excitability of hippocampal glutaminergic neurons and gamma-aminobutyric neurons from the perspective of electrophysiology. In this study, mice were randomly divided into glutaminergic control group, glutaminergic magnetic stimulation group, gamma-aminobutyric acid energy control group, and gamma-aminobutyric acid magnetic stimulation group. The four groups of mice were injected with adeno-associated virus to label two types of neurons and were implanted optical fiber. The stimulation groups received 14 days of stimulation and the control groups received 14 days of pseudo-stimulation. The fluorescence intensity of calcium ions in mice was recorded by optical fiber system. Behavioral experiments were conducted to explore the changes of cognitive function in mice. The patch-clamp system was used to detect the changes of neuronal action potential characteristics. The results showed that rTMS significantly improved the cognitive function of mice, increased the amplitude of calcium fluorescence of glutamergic neurons and gamma-aminobutyric neurons in the hippocampus, and enhanced the action potential related indexes of glutamergic neurons and gamma-aminobutyric neurons. The results suggest that rTMS can improve the cognitive ability of mice by enhancing the excitability of hippocampal glutaminergic neurons and gamma-aminobutyric neurons.

The rupture of carotid vulnerable plaques is the core pathological basis for major cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. However， the insufficient alignment between existing animal models and the clinical disease and syndrome characteristics of traditional Chinese and western medicine has limited research progress. In this study， biomedical databases in China and abroad were systematically searched， and the modeling mechanisms and evaluation systems of carotid vulnerable plaque animal models were systematically assessed based on diagnostic criteria of both traditional Chinese and western medicine. Analysis of the clinical correspondence indicated that existing animal models can be categorized into four types： simple high-fat diet， surgical induction combined with high-fat feeding， genetic engineering combined with high-fat feeding， and drug induction combined with high-fat feeding. Among these， the compound strategy of surgical induction combined with high-fat feeding has become the current mainstream approach， showing good concordance with western medicine. The study found that the double balloon injury rabbit model and the ApoE^-/- mouse carotid artery tandem constriction combined with high-fat feeding model demonstrated a high degree of clinical correspondence with both traditional Chinese and western medicine in terms of vulnerable plaque imaging and pathological features. Nevertheless， existing models still face significant technical limitations in faithfully simulating plaque pathology and in translating findings to clinical applications. To address these challenges， integrating complex comorbidity mechanism construction， multimodal dynamic mechanism monitoring， and collaborative evaluation systems of traditional Chinese and western medicine could enable the development of highly concordant carotid vulnerable plaque disease-syndrome combination animal models. Such models would provide a reproducible experimental platform for targeted drug development to regulate plaque stability and for individualized precision treatment， as well as a theoretical basis for innovation in clinical diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Objective:To conduct bioinformatics analysis by detecting and screening differentially expressed miRNAs in urine exosomes of subjects with damp heat IgA nephropathy, non damp heat IgA nephropathy, and healthy individuals; To explore the role of miRNAs in renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted to select 40 subjects with primary IgA nephropathy diagnosed by renal biopsy in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from November 2021 to February 2023, who were divided into damp-heat group and non-damp-heat group according to TCM constitution, with 20 cases in each group; 10 healthy subjects were also recruited for control observation.High-speed centrifugation and Illumina high-throughput sequencing technology were used to isolate and detect the expression of miRNA in urine exosomes from three groups of people, and their differential expression profiles were constructed. Bioinformatics analysis was performed on differentially expressed genes to determine the main biological functions of differentially expressed miRNAs and the signaling pathways they may participate in.Results:Compared with the non-damp heat group, there were 231 miRNAs with abnormal expression in the urine exosomes of the damp heat group, including 119 up-regulated and 112 down-regulated. Through GO enrichment and KEGG analysis, differentially expressed miRNAs may participate in the occurrence and development of renal tubulointerstitial fibrosis through MAPK signaling pathway, PI3K Akt signaling pathway, Hippo signaling pathway, Ras signaling pathway, Wnt signaling pathway, mTOR signaling pathway, etc., involving biological processes such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell deformation (EMT), migration and invasion, and tissue and organ fibrosis. MiR-29c-3p expression levels in the urinary exosome miRNA expression profiles of subjects in the three groups were lower in the damp-heat group, but higher in the non-damp-heat group versus the healthy control group, of which, the damp-heat group was lower than the non-damp-heat group versus the healthy control group ( P<0.01); there was no significant difference between the healthy control group and the non-damp-heat group ( P>0.05）. Conclusion:The expression profile of miRNAs in the urine exosomes of subjects with damp heat IgA nephropathy showed significant changes,that the significant down-regulation of miR-29c-3p may be a key factor in exacerbating tubulointerstitial fibrosis in IgA nephropathy.

Acceptance commitment therapy is accepted as a new psychological therapy to provide psychological treatment and rehabilitation for soldiers,to ensure their health level and maintain the combat effectiveness of the army.In this paper,the applications of acceptance commitment therapy in military personnel are reviewed,including improving post-traumatic stress disorders,relieving postoperative or chronic pain,mitigating anxiety and depression,controlling weight,quitting smoking,and controlling alcohol use disorders.Acceptance commitment therapy is highly applicable among soldiers,especially veterans,exceedingly effective among female soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorders and better than other traditional therapies in treating post-traumatic stress disorders combined with substance use disorders or combined with chronic pain.However,traditional therapy is more effective than acceptance commitment therapy in improving sleep.Unfortunately,the number of current studies is small,research is not widely-distributed geographically,and domestic studies are lacking.Multi-center randomized controlled studies with large samples on the basis of foreign studies are needed to verify the applicability of acceptance commitment therapy in Chinese military.

Objective: To construct a Family with sequence similarity 50 member A(FAM50A) gene knockout mouse insulinoma pancreatic β-cell line Beta-TC-6 using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing technology and to prepare polyclonal antibodies specifically recognizing FAM50A. Methods: Two guide RNAs(sgRNAs) targeting the FAM50A gene were designed,and a recombinant plasmid expressing blue fluorescent protein(BFP) was constructed for gene knockout.The successfully constructed plasmid was transfected into Beta-TC-6 cells,and BFP-positive single cells were isolated for clonal expansion.The expanded monoclonal cell lines were genotyped by Sanger sequencing,and FAM50A protein expression was assessed by Western blot.Purified human recombinant FAM50A protein was used to immunize New Zealand rabbits for the preparation of a polyclonal antibody.The specificity of the prepared antibody was then validated using the successfully established FAM50A knockout cell line. Results: A monoclonal cell line with a successful knockout of the FAM50A gene was identified.Sanger sequencing confirmed base deletions at the target site.Western blot analysis showed a complete absence of FAM50A protein expression in this cell line.The prepared polyclonal antibody successfully recognized endogenous murine FAM50A protein in wild-type Beta-TC-6 cells and in hTERT-RPE1 cells overexpressing human FAM50A-GFP fusion protein,while no signal was detected in the FAM50A knockout cells. Conclusion This study successfully established a FAM50A gene knockout Beta-TC-6 cell model and generated a FAM50A polyclonal antibody,providing powerful tools for future research.

Objective:To investigate the effect of interleukin-12(IL-12)on liver lesions and oxidative stress pathway in Sjo-gren's syndrome mice,and to clarify the possible mechanism of liver lesions in Sjogren's syndrome.Methods:Saliva flow rate,liver function,liver pathology and IL-12 level were measured in NOD,IL-12 knockout(IL-12KO)NOD and C57BL/6(B6)mice.Different concentrations of IL-12 and JAK2,TYK2 inhibitors were applied to mouse hepatoma cells.The oxidative stress index of mouse serum and cell culture supernatants of each group were determined.Results:Compared with the other two groups of mice,the NOD mice had significantly higher GOT and GPT(P<0.05),and decreased serum GSH-PX,SOD and CAT(P<0.05).CAT,GSH,GSH-PX and SOD were decreased,while MDA was increased in mice treated with different concentrations of IL-12.JAK2/TYK2 inhibitors reversed regulatory effects of IL-12 on SOD,GSH and MDA in hepatoma cells(P<0.05).Conclusion:IL-12 may aggravated liver damage of Sj?gren's syndrome through promoting oxidative stress of hepatocytes.
