Type 2 inflammation(T2 inflammation)is an immune response mediated by Th2 cells,eosinophils,type 2 innate lymphocytes,and other cells. Its pathological characteristics are manifested by the abnormally high expression of type 2 cytokines such as IL-4,IL-5,and IL-13,and it widely involves allergic diseases including asthma,allergic rhinitis,and atopic dermatitis. Ginsenosides are the core active ingredients of ginseng and the key substances for ginseng to exert its pharmacological effects. It has anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects. This article reviews the mechanism of action,experimental research progress,and clinical application prospects of ginsenosides in T2 inflammation,explores the therapeutic potential and clinical challenges of ginsenosides,and proposes future research directions.

Schizophrenia is a serious mental disease. The diagnosis of schizophrenia so far relies heavily on subjective evidence, including self-reported experiences by patients, manifestations described by relatives, and abnormal behaviors assessed by psychiatrists. The diagnosis, monitoring of the disease progression and therapy efficacy assessment are challenging due to the lack of established laboratory biomarkers. Based on the current literature, clinical consensus, guidelines, and expert recommendations, this review highlighted evidence-based potential laboratory biomarkers for the diagnosis of schizophrenia, including genetic biomarkers, neurotransmitters, neurodevelopmental-related proteins, and intestinal flora, and discussed the potential future directions for the application of these biomarkers in this field, aiming to provide an objective basis for the use of these biomarkers in the early and accurate diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis and rehabilitation assessment of schizophrenia.

Both severed legs were replanted in a 41-year-old man. Bilateral tibia and fibula were shortened by 4 cm equally. Tibial fixation was performed with reconstruction plate. Four weeks after the replantation, active and passive exercises were initiated in both of the knee joints. Four months after surgery, the patient was capable of walking independently for 20-30 m without the aid of crutches. After 28 months' follow-up, plantar sensitivity was defined as S3. This patient was satisfactory with the cosmetic and functional results.
