This study aims to review the current status and development trends of digital TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) specimen museums, providing a theoretical basis for their future construction. By systematically organizing literature and materials, practical experiences in platform architecture design, content planning, and technical implementation were summarized. The research results show that digital technology has significant application value in the TCM field. Currently, some Food and Drug Control Institutes have formed diverse construction achievements by integrating regional characteristics with technological innovation. However, current TCM specimen museums generally still face many challenges, such as insufficient digitalization. In conclusion, the digitalization of TCM specimen museums has become an inevitable trend in the industry. Targeted measures are urgently needed to solve existing problems and promote the sustainable development of digital TCM specimen museums. It is suggested to strengthen the standardization of data collection and storage, deepen the integration of technologies such as 3D, AR, and AI into the construction of specimen museums, and at the same time promote the spatial design combining regional culture with TCM. This will help create "one museum with one feature for one region" digital TCM specimen museums, further promoting their sustainable development and facilitating the digital inheritance of TCM.

Objective To analyze the occurrence status of low blood pressure (BP) in patients with refractory heart failure (RHF) and its relationship with comorbidities. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 360 patients with RHF who were hospitalized in department of cardiology of Affiliated Nantong Hospital of Shanghai University from May 2021 to May 2025. These patients were divided into the RHF with BP group and the RHF group based on their blood pressure at admission. The general data and comorbidities were compared between both groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors for coexisting BP. Results The heart rate (HR), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), blood urea nitrogen, high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, right atrial diameter, proportion of cardiac function grade IV, use rate of diuretics and prevalence rate of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in the RHF with BP group were higher while the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), albumin, left ventricular ejection fraction, use rate of lipid-lowering drugs and prevalence rate of coronary heart disease were lower compared to the RHF group, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis suggested that increased HR (OR=1.685, 95%CI: 1.106-2.569), increased NT-proBNP (OR=1.772, 95%CI: 1.138-2.759), decreased HDL-C (OR=0.605, 95%CI: 0.400-0.917) and DCM (OR=1.956, 95%CI: 1.176-3.255) were independent risk factors affecting BP in RHF patients (P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate of low blood pressure in elderly RHF patients is about 19.17%. Increased heart rate, increased NT-proBNP, decreased HDL-C and dilated cardiomyopathy are closely linked to the occurrence of low blood pressure, and they can be used as clinically related factors to identify patients at high risk of low blood pressure.

Objective: To analyze the etiologic distribution of difficult crossmatching and the characteristics of red blood cell antibodies, to summarize compatible transfusion strategies based on serological abnormalities, and to evaluate red blood cell transfusion efficacy and changes in bilirubin levels before and after transfusion. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on difficult crossmatching cases handled by the Department of Blood Transfusion of our hospital from January 2024 to December 2025. Cases that met the criteria for difficult crossmatching determination and had complete data were included in the analysis of the causes and antibody distribution. Patients who completed red blood cell transfusion and had complete hemoglobin (Hb) data before and within 24 hours after transfusion were included in the exploratory subgroup analysis of transfusion efficacy; among them, those who also had total bilirubin and indirect bilirubin data before and after the corresponding transfusion event were included in the bilirubin analysis. According to the main serological abnormal manifestations before transfusion and the actual compatible transfusion management pathways, the cases included in the exploratory subgroup analysis were divided into three groups: the alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching group, the autoantibody-related or autoantibody combined with alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching group, and the ABO blood group identification abnormality-related difficult crossmatching group. The Hb levels before and after transfusion, the Hb increase after transfusion of each unit of red blood cells, and the changes in bilirubin levels before and after transfusion were compared among the groups. Results: A total of 322 difficult crossmatching cases met the predefined criteria, of which 287 were included in the analysis of causes and antibody distribution. There were 183 cases of alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching (63.76%), 54 cases related to inconsistency between ABO forward and reverse typing (18.82%), 44 cases related to autoantibodies (15.33%), and 6 cases related to interference from anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody drugs (2.09%). Among the 183 alloantibody-related cases, 79 cases had only a single alloantibody detected, among which antibodies of the Rh blood group system accounted for 49.37% (39/79). Among single alloantibodies, anti-E was detected most frequently, with 35 cases (44.30%), followed by anti-M with 19 cases (24.05%) and anti-Le with 13 cases (16.46%). A total of 109 cases were included in the exploratory subgroup analysis of transfusion efficacy, including 76 cases in the alloantibodyrelated difficult crossmatching group, 17 cases in the autoantibody-related or autoantibody combined with alloantibody-related difficult crossmatching group, and 16 cases in the ABO blood group identification abnormality-related difficult crossmatching group. The sex distribution and history of previous transfusion differed between cases included in and not included in this analysis. The Hb levels after transfusion in all three groups were higher than those before transfusion, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The Hb increase per unit of red blood cells did not differ significantly among the three groups (P=0.086). Among 73 cases with paired total and indirect bilirubin data corresponding to the transfusion events, the comparison of changes in total bilirubin among the three groups showed no statistically significant difference (P=0.864), and the comparison of changes in indirect bilirubin among the three groups also showed no statistically significant difference (P=0.914). Conclusion: Alloantibody-related factors were the main causes of difficult crossmatching in this study. Among single alloantibodies, Rh blood group system antibodies, especially anti-E, were relatively common. In the included exploratory subgroup, after individualized compatible transfusion based on the causes of difficult crossmatching, antibody specificities, and crossmatching results, Hb levels were higher after transfusion than before transfusion in all three groups. Within the scope of this study, the magnitude of bilirubin changes did not differ significantly among the different types of difficult crossmatching.

Objective: To investigate the potential efficacy and safety of Lutai Danshen Baishao granules (LDBG) for treating female melasma associated with kidney deficiency and blood stasis patterns. Methods: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted at the Third Central Hospital of Tianjin, China from March to December 2023. A total of 110 female patients with melasma linked to kidney deficiency and blood stasis were enrolled and treated with either LDBG or a placebo twice daily for 60 days. Efficacy was assessed through measures such as the total melasma area, reduced melasma area, reduction rate of melasma area, melasma color score, Melasma Area and Severity Index (MASI) score, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) symptom score scale. Safety assessments included routine blood and biochemical tests. Results: Participants in both groups were aged 52–63 years, with no significant differences. After the 2-month intervention, the total melasma area decreased in both groups; however, a greater reduction was observed in the test group [462.50 mm2 (12.81%) vs. 100.00 mm2 (3.11%), P < .001]. Moreover, LDBG treatment significantly reduced the MASI and melasma color scores in the test group (P < .05). The total TCM symptom evaluation score significantly decreased (test group: 6.00 vs. placebo group: 7.00, P = .001), with significant relief in symptoms such as improvement in dark lips, nails, and waist soreness in the test group, compared with that in the placebo group (P < .05). Within-group comparisons revealed that TCM syndrome was significantly alleviated in the test group (P < .05). Conclusion LDBG intervention shows promising effectiveness in reducing female melasma and alleviating TCM syndromes.

Acute kidney injury（AKI）is defined as a clinical syndrome characterized by a rapid decline in renal function over a short period.Oxidative stress，inflammatory responses，and apoptosis play crucial roles in the pathogenesis and progression of AKI.Although symptomatic treatment and renal replacement therapies are widely used in clinical practice，effective therapeutic interventions remain limited.With the rapid advancement of nanotechnology，nanomaterials have demonstrated better potential for application in disease prevention，diagnosis，and treatment.Owing to their unique size effects，tunable surface properties，and excellent biocompatibility，nanomaterials hold great value for targeted drug delivery，anti-inflammatory，and antioxidative therapies，offering new advances in the treatment strategies of kidney diseases.This article summarizes the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of nanomaterials in AKI.

Under the guidance of five-viscus correlation theory,and with reference to the clinical practice,this paper discusses the pathogenesis of cardiogenic asthma,i.e.long illness of the heart resulting in asthma,from the perspective of physiological characteristics of heart,which belongs to yin in essence and yang in function.And this paper also introduces the correlation between five zang-organs and cardiogenic asthma:asthma induced by heart failure involves the lung,has close relation with middle energizer(spleen and stomach),results from the comorbidity of heart and liver,and contributes to the disorders of kidney.It is believed that cardiogenic asthma injures the heart,results in internal blockage of blood stasis,so the original pathogenesis of cardiogenic asthma is due to the heart;unsmoothed blood circulation causes fluid retention in the chest and lung,and then the lung is involved.The failure of spleen and stomach in generation and transportation will cause the unsmoothed circulation of qi and blood,liver qi stagnation will result in the failure of liver blood in nourishment,and the intense kidney yin-fire will stir upward and attack heart yang.The factors mentioned above all are prone to result in the aggravation of cardiogenic asthma.Therefore,the treatment of cardiogenic asthma with traditional Chinese medicine should be focused on heart,and methods of replenishing qi,activating blood circulation,and inducing diuresis are used as the primary therapeutic approaches.Moreover,according to the organs involved in cardiogenic asthma,therapies of regulating the five viscera and restoring the balance of yin and yang are used for precise treatment,and the therapeutic effect will be enhanced.

Objective To analyze the circuit-qi patterns during early embryonic period and at conception in congenital heart disease(CHD)patients based on the five-circuit and six-qi theory,and to explore the pathogenesis and etiology of CHD from a circuit-qi perspective.Methods With 16 400 non-CHD individuals as the healthy control group,a statistical analysis was performed for the circuit-qi patterns during early embryogenesis and at conception in 4 100 CHD patients(CHD group).Results The following factors were identified as significant predisposing factors for CHD:yearly circuit being excessive fire circuit during early embryogenesis,yearly qi being taiyang cold water of celestial qi combined with taiyin damp earth of terrestrial qi during early embryogenesis,yearly circuit being concurrent excessive fire circuit and earth circuit deficiency at conception,and yearly qi being taiyin damp earth of terrestrial qi paired with jueyin wind wood of celestial qi at conception(all P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion There is a certain correlation between circuit-qi endowment during embryonic development and the prevalence of CHD.The core pathogenesis of CHD is rooted in heart-spleen insufficiency,with hyperactive heart-fire and cold kidney-water as its manifestations,and spleen deficiency failing in transportation serves as an important contributing factor in the development and progression of CHD.

With the establishment of bio-psycho-social medical model,both social and psychological factors play an important role in the occurrence,development and treatment of diseases.Hypertension is a common chronic multiple disease in China,and patients are often complicated with depression and other e-motional disorders.The interaction between hypertension and depression significantly increases the risk of poor prognosis.Current studies have shown a bidirectional promoting relationship between hypertension and depression,and they have some com-mon pathogenesis.However,the specific mechanism of their co-morbidity has not been fully elucidated.Renin-angiotensin sys-tem(RAS)plays an important role in the regulation of hyperten-sion and depression and other emotions.It is composed of two antagonistic pathways.The balance is maintained by angioten-sin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2).Therefore,this article reviews the relationship and mechanism of RAS in hypertension,depres-sion and comorbid states,in order to provide new treatment ide-as for hypertension and depression.
