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.

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.

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.

Objective To investigate the expression level and clinical application value of serum resistin in patients with systemic lu-pus erythematosus(SLE).Methods Forty-five SLE patients visited Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital,Clinical College of Nanjing Uni-versity of Chinese Medicine from January to August 2023 were enrolled in the study.The patients were scored and grouped according to the SLE disease activity index(SLEDAI),with SLEDAI＜9 score in the inactive group(n=32)and SLEDAI≥9 score in the active group(n=13).Thirty-four healthy individuals who underwent physical examination in our hospital were recruited as healthy controls.The clinical data and laboratory related indicators such as urine protein and serum complement C3 levels were collected from SLE pa-tients and healthy controls.Serum resistin levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).The clinical screening value of serum resistin for SLE was evaluated with the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The correlations of serum resistin levels with different laboratory indicators were determined by Pearson correlation analysis.Results The serum resistin levels in SLE patients([7.64±0.64]ng/mL)were significantly higher than that in healthy controls([2.56±0.43]ng/mL),and the difference was statistically significant(t=6.195,P＜0.01).The serum resistin levels in active SLE patients([10.10±1.45]ng/mL)were significant-ly higher than that in inactive SLE patients([6.64±0.60]ng/mL),and the difference was statistically significant(t=2.632,P＜0.05).The area under the ROC curve(AUCROC)of serum resistin for screening SLE was 0.897.When the cut-off value was 5.893 ng/mL,the sensitivity was 86.67%and the specificity was 82.35%.The serum resistin level in SLE patients was positively correlated with urine protein(r=0.692,P＜0.01),while negatively correlated with serum complement C3(r=-0.354,P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression levels of serum resistin in SLE patients are significantly increased and positively correlated with SLE disease activity and urine protein.Serum resistin may become a novel biomarker for the diagnosis and therapeutic effect assessment of SLE.

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.

AIM:To observe the anti-scarring effects and safety of triamcinolone acetonide(TA)-loaded hydrogel sustained-release sheeting on stab incision glaucoma surgery(SIGS)with “one-step tunnel method” in rabbit eyes.METHODS:A total of 48 healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly selected and divided into 4 groups(12 rabbits in each group), trabeculectomy(Trab)group, SIGS group, polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel(PVAH)sheeting was implanted under the conjunctiva flap during SIGS(PVAH group), and hydrogel sustained-release sheeting loaded with TA was implanted under the conjunctiva flap during SIGS(TA/PVAH group). On the 1, 2, 3, and 4 wk after surgery, the intraocular pressure, filtering bubble morphology, anterior chamber reaction, and other complications were observed and recorded in each group. Then animals were euthanized, and the surgery area tissues of right eye were taken for pathological tissue paraffin section. Masson staining, picric acid-Sirius rose red staining, as well as α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)and fibroblast growth factor 2(FGF2)immunohistochemistry staining was performed on every section. The infiltration of inflammatory cells, proliferation of fibroblasts and synthesis of type I and type III collagen fibers in local tissues were observed. The average positive area ratio of α-SMA and FGF2 antibody immunohistochemical staining in each group was calculated and compared.RESULTS: The TA/PVAH group maintained diffuse and elevated functional filtering blebs, while flat filtering blebs appeared in Trab, SIGS and PVAH groups at 2 wk after surgery. Functional filtering blebs were present in 1 eye(33%), 2 eyes(67%)in the PVAH and TA/PVAH group at 4 wk after surgery, respectively, while the other filtering blebs were flattened. Masson staining showed that the hydrogels in PVAH and TA/PVAH groups did not degrade at 4 wk after surgery. Compared with the Trab and SIGS groups, the filtration passages were more obvious, with less collagen fiber proliferation. Sirius red staining showed that the expression of type I collagen and type III collagen in the TA/PVAH group was less than that in the Trab group, SIGS group and PVAH group at 4 wk after surgery. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the α-SMA expression in the TA/PVAH group was significantly lower than that in the Trab and SIGS groups at 1 wk after surgery(P<0.01). The α-SMA expression was the highest in the Trab and SIGS groups at 2 wk after surgery, while the α-SMA expression in the PHAP and TA/PVAH groups was significantly lower than that in the first two groups(P<0.01). Compared with the Trab group, the expression of FGF2 in the PVAH and TA/PVAH group was significantly increased at 1, 2, 3 and 4 wk after surgery(P<0.05). Compared with the SIGS group, FGF2 expression in the TA/PVAH group was significantly increased at 4 wk after surgery(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:In SIGS surgery of rabbit eyes, implanting hydrogel sustained-release sheeting loaded with TA under conjunctival flap can effectively inhibit the scarring of the filtering bleb, which may be the interaction of the anti-scar effect of TA and the stent function of hydrogel.

Objective: To explore the latent categories and general demographic characteristics of short form video addiction among college students, so as to provide empirical reference for prevention and intervention of short form video addiction among college students. Methods: Convenience sampling method was used to select 1 386 college students from a certain university in Anhui Province in June 2023. A questionnaire survey was conducted among college students by using the Short Video Addiction Scale. The latent profile analysis method of "individual center" was used to explore the categories of college students short form video addiction, and multiple Logistic regression was used to explore the influence of demographic variables on the latent classification of short form video addiction. Results: College students with short form video addiction were divided into three latent categories:non addiction group (22.15%, n =307), low addiction group (63.28%, n =877) and high addiction group (14.57%, n =202). The results of multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that gender, major type and family location were related with short form video addiction among college students:male students (low addiction group: OR =0.47; high addiction group: OR =0.41), cultural and historical majors (low addiction group: OR =0.66), and students from cities (high addiction group: OR =0.51) were less likely to be involved in short form video addiction ( P <0.05). Conclusions There is significant group heterogeneity in short form video addiction among college students. Families, schools and society should attach importance and pay attention to the phenomenon of short form video addiction among college students, actively take targeted intervention measures to prevent and reduce the occurrence of short form video addiction symptoms among college students.
