This paper summarizes professor TU Jinwen's clinical experience in treating cancer-related insomnia （CRI） based on different qi and fire. It is believed that the pathogenesis of CRI can be divided into three stages. At the initial stage， qi movement is constrained， while the strong fire begins to stir， and the sovereign fire is unsettled， when qi is abundant， but the fire is not excessive. For this， Sanhua Jieyu Anshen Decoction （三花解郁安神汤） is suggested， which can move qi and vent constraint， clear and diffuse strong fire， calm the heart and spirit. At the progressive stage， strong fire becomes intense and burning， and qi transformation weakens， with toxin fire harassing the spirit. This is the stage where both qi and fire are excessive， for which Huanglian Jiedu Anshen Decoction （黄连解毒安神汤） can be used to clear and dissipate strong fire， drain fire and resolve toxin， clear heart and calm spirit. At the terminal stage， strong fire subsides， and consumption of qi damages healthy qi， with failure of nourishment of heart spirit， when both qi and fire deplete. Correspondingly， Erren Yangxin Anshen Decoction （二仁养心安神汤） is used to boost qi and nourish yin， restore interaction between the heart and the kidney， nourish the heart and calm spirit.

This article provides a systematic review of the research progress in the mechanisms related to lung cancer and ferroptosis， ferroptosis-related lung cancer biomarkers and gene mutation targets， and ferroptosis-targeted regulation of Chinese medicine in treating lung cancer in the past five years， providing a feasible and effective basis for the prevention and treatment of lung cancer with Chinese medicine and the development of new drugs. According to the available studies， ferroptosis is widely suppressed in lung cancer， while the specific regulatory mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. The suppression is related to lipid metabolism， iron metabolism， cystine/glutamate antiporter system Xc^- （System Xc^-）/glutathione （GSH）/glutathione peroxidase 4 （GPX4）， ferroptosis suppressor protein 1 （FSP1）/coenzyme Q10 （CoQ10）/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ［NAD（P）H］， long non-coding RNA （lncRNA）， nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）， and p53. In modern times， traditional Chinese medicine is widely used in the comprehensive treatment of lung cancer， and it has gradually become a hot research topic due to its obvious advantages of anti-tumor activity， high efficacy， and low toxicity. Traditional Chinese medicine plays an important role in the treatment of lung cancer. Studies have shown that the active components， extracts， and prescriptions of Chinese medicine can induce ferroptosis in lung cancer cells through targeted regulation of iron metabolism， lipid metabolism， and p53， Nrf2， LncRNA， and GPX4 pathways to inhibit the growth and proliferation of lung cancer， thus exerting anti-tumor effects. Therefore， regulating ferroptosis is expected to become a new direction for preventing lung cancer. Basic research has shown that Chinese medicine can regulate ferroptosis via multiple targets and pathways in the treatment of lung cancer. At present， Chinese medicine demonstrates great research prospects in regulating ferroptosis to treat lung cancer， which， howeve， still faces challenges to achieve clinical transformation.

This study applied the grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation(GRADE) system and the integrated evidence chain-based effectiveness evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine(Eff-iEC) to evaluate the evidence for 12 commonly used Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of osteoporosis, which are frequently recommended in guidelines or expert consensuses. The results showed that Xianling Gubao Capsules/Tablets were rated as C(low-level evidence) according to the GRADE system, and as BA~+B~+(intermediate evidence) according to the Eff-iEC system. Jintiange Capsules were rated as C(low-level evidence) by the GRADE system, and as AA~+B(high-level evidence) by the Eff-iEC system. Gushukang Granules/Capsules were rated as C(low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as BA~+B~+(intermediate evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Zuogui Pills were rated as C(low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as AA~(++)B~+(high-level evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Qianggu Capsules were rated as D(extremely low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as AA~+B~+(high-level evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Zhuanggu Zhitong Capsules were rated as D(extremely low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as BA~+B(intermediate evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Jingui Shenqi Pills were rated as D(extremely low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as AA~+B(high-level evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Quanduzhong Capsules were rated as D(extremely low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as AD~+B~+(low-level evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Epimedium Total Flavones Capsules were rated as D(extremely low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as AAB~+(high-level evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Yougui Pills were rated as D(extremely low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as AA~(++)B~(+ )(high-level evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Qigu Capsules were rated as D(extremely low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as BB~+B(intermediate evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Liuwei Dihuang Pills were rated as C(low-level evidence) by GRADE system, and as AA~(++)B~+(high-level evidence) by Eff-iEC system. Overall, the Eff-iEC system provides a more comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness evidence for traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) than the GRADE system. However, it still has certain limitations that hinder its wider promotion and application. In terms of clinical evidence evaluation, both the Eff-iEC and GRADE systems reflect that the current clinical research quality on Chinese patent medicines for the treatment of osteoporosis is generally low. High-quality clinical trials are still needed in the future to further validate clinical efficacy.

Metabolic associated fatty liver disease has become the most important chronic liver disease in China.Its mechanism is not completely clear.Professor Sheng Guoguang examines the symptoms and seek the cause,treats the disease by stages from the perspective of"earth-obstructing and wood-stagnation,phlegm and blood stasis",summarizes the core pathogenesis of each stage,and prescribes drugs for the pathogenesis.In the early stage,the disease is mainly caused by earth-obstructing and wood-stagnation and phlegm and blood stasis and the corresponding treatment method should be activating spleen to eliminate depression,relieving phlegm and promoting blood circulation,with common use of modified Sizhu Decoction combined with Erchen Decoction.In the middle stage,phlegm and blood stasis transform into heat are the main pathogenesis,and the appropriate treatment is clearing liver and purging fire,and relieving phlegm and promoting blood circulation,with common use of modified Xiaochaihu Decoction combined with Erchen Decoction.In the late stage,weakness of the internal organs is the main pathogenesis,and it is appropriate to nourish liver and fortify the spleen,tonifying the kidney and consolidate the root,supplementing with reducing phlegm and activating blood circulation,with common use of modified Yiguan Decoction combined with Liujunzi Decoction in modification,which has achieved confirmed clinical efficacy.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Urethral stricture is characterized by the chronic formation of fibrous tissue, leading to the narrowing of the urethral lumen. Despite the availability of various endoscopic treatments, the recurrence of urethral strictures remains a common challenge. Postsurgery pharmacotherapy targeting tissue fibrosis is a promising option for reducing recurrence rates. Although drugs cannot replace surgery, they can be used as adjuvant therapies to improve outcomes. In this regard, many drugs have been proposed based on the mechanisms underlying the pathophysiology of urethral stricture. Ongoing studies have obtained substantial progress in treating urethral strictures, highlighting the potential for improved drug effectiveness through appropriate clinical delivery methods. Therefore, this review summarizes the latest researches on the mechanisms related to the pathophysiology of urethral stricture and the drugs to provide a theoretical basis and new insights for the effective use and future advancements in drug therapy for urethral stricture.

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a congenital, motile ciliopathy with pleiotropic symptoms. Although nearly 50 causative genes have been identified, they only account for approximately 70% of definitive PCD cases. Dynein axonemal heavy chain 10 (DNAH10) encodes a subunit of the inner arm dynein heavy chain in motile cilia and sperm flagella. Based on the common axoneme structure of motile cilia and sperm flagella, DNAH10 variants are likely to cause PCD. Using exome sequencing, we identified a novel DNAH10 homozygous variant (c.589C > T, p.R197W) in a patient with PCD from a consanguineous family. The patient manifested sinusitis, bronchiectasis, situs inversus, and asthenoteratozoospermia. Immunostaining analysis showed the absence of DNAH10 and DNALI1 in the respiratory cilia, and transmission electron microscopy revealed strikingly disordered axoneme 9+2 architecture and inner dynein arm defects in the respiratory cilia and sperm flagella. Subsequently, animal models of Dnah10-knockin mice harboring missense variants and Dnah10-knockout mice recapitulated the phenotypes of PCD, including chronic respiratory infection, male infertility, and hydrocephalus. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to report DNAH10 deficiency related to PCD in human and mouse models, which suggests that DNAH10 recessive mutation is causative of PCD.
