Based on the opening-closing-pivot theory， this paper proposes that adolescent bipolar disorder is closely associated with taiyin （太阴）， shaoyang （少阳）， and jueyin （厥阴） channels. The principal pathogenesis involves dysfunction of the opening function of taiyin， impaired pivot function of shaoyang， and failure of the closing function of jueyin. Accordingly， the therapeutic principles include regulating taiyin to restore the ascending and descending movement of qi， harmonizing shaoyang to facilitate the pivot mechanism， and balancing yin and yang to reinforce the closing and storing function of jueyin. In clinical practice， Yihuang Powder （益黄散） and Tongxie Important Formula （痛泻要方） are commonly prescribed to regulate the qi movement of taiyin and restore its ascending and transporting functions， while Xiaochaihu Decoction （小柴胡汤） and Sini Powder （四逆散） are used to regulate the shaoyang pivot， and Wumei Pill （乌梅丸）， Danggui Sini Decoction （当归四逆汤）， and Huanglian Ejiao Decoction （黄连阿胶汤） combined with Shaoyao Gancao Decoction （芍药甘草汤） are employed to harmonize the jueyin closing mechanism. In addition， traditional daoyin （导引） exercise yi jin jing （易筋经） is incorporated to simultaneously regulate the body and mind by guiding internal regulation through external movement， thereby calming the body and tranquilizing the mind.

The zebrafish model has attracted much attention due to its strong reproductive ability, short research cycle, and ease of maintenance. It has always been an important vertebrate model system, often used to carry out human disease research. Its motor behavior features have the advantages of being simpler, more intuitive, and quantifiable. In recent years, it has received widespread attention in the study of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)for the treatment of sleep disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, fatigue, epilepsy, and other diseases. This paper reviews the characteristics of zebrafish motor behavior and its applications in the pharmacodynamic verification and mechanism research of TCM extracts, active ingredients, and TCM compounds, as well as in active ingredient screening and safety evaluation. The paper also analyzes its advantages and disadvantages, with the aim of improving the breadth and depth of zebrafish and its motor behavior applications in the field of TCM research.

Objective: To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution and depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents, so as to provide evidences for informing constitution based regulation and prevention of depressive symptom. Methods: From June to December 2024, a total of 4 729 students aged 6-14 were recruited by cluster random sampling from 10 primary schools in Baoding (Hebei Province), Heze and Liaocheng (Shandong Province). General information, TCM constitution and depressive symptom were collected. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) models were used to analyze related factors and threshold effects of depressive symptom. Binary Logistic regression was applied to examine the association between depressive symptom and TCM constitution, with subgroup analyses conducted. Results: The detection rate of depressive symptom among the included children and adolescents was 25.82%. RCS analyses indicated non linear associations between depressive symptom and age (inflection point at 10 years old), bedtime (inflection point at 22:00), and wake up time (inflection point at 6:30 ) (all P non linearity <0.01). Linear associations were observed with body mass index (BMI) and sleep duration (all P non linearity > 0.05 ). After adjusting for covariates such as age, BMI and sleep status, binary Logistic regression analyses showed that Yin deficient constitution ( OR =1.26, 95% CI =1.09-1.45) and Phlegm-dampness constitution ( OR =1.42, 95% CI =1.11-1.82) were significantly associated with depressive symptom among children and adolescents (all P <0.05). Conclusions Depressive symptom among school aged children and adolescents is primarily associated with Yin deficiency and Phlegm dampness constitutions in TCM constitution. Active attention should be paid to susceptible TCM constitution among children and adolescents. Targeted health guidance and interventions should be implemented to improve TCM constitution health status for preventing the occurrence of depressive symptom.

Objective To explore syndrome and treatment law of TCM in treating pediatric pneumonia convalescence;To provide references for clinical syndrome differentiation and treatment.Methods The relevant literature about TCM in treating pediatric pneumonia convalescence was retrieved from CNKI,SinoMed,VIP,Wanfang Data and PubMed from the establishment of the databases to December 31,2024.Diagnostic basis,syndrome elements and TCM prescription information were extracted.Excel 2021 was used for frequency statistics,SPSS Modeler 18.0 was used for association rule analysis,Gephi 0.10.1 was used to complete complex network analysis,and Origin 2025 was used for data visualization.Results A total of 171 articles were included.Diagnosis basis predominantly involved symptoms,signs and course of the disease.TCM syndrome element distribution predominantly involved the lung,spleen,qi deficiency,yin deficiency,phlegm,dampness,blood stasis and heat,often presenting as a mixture of deficiency and excess patterns.A total of 98 prescriptions were collected,with high-frequency herbs primarily including tonifying and deficiency-replenishing herbs,and phlegm-resolving and antitussive herbs.The herbal properties and tastes were mainly warm,neutral,slightly cold,and sweet,bitter,pungent,primarily associated with the lung and spleen meridians.Complex network analysis identified three core patterns of syndrome-herb interactions.Conclusion The diagnosis of pediatric pneumonia convalescence relies on symptoms,signs and course of the disease as key criteria.The syndrome is often characterized by a deficiency-excess complex.Treatment should integrate the dynamic interactions among syndrome elements and adjust the balance between reinforcing healthy qi and eliminating pathogens based on the proportional weight of deficiency and excess.For deficiency patterns,it is necessary to focus on tonifying qi and nourishing yin.For concurrent syndromes or pathological factors,additional methods such as resolving phlegm,clearing heat,regulating qi,drying dampness,promoting digestion,cooling blood,and activating blood circulation may be incorporated.

Parkinson disease is a widespread progressive neurodegenerative disease. Clinical diagnostic methods are not sufficient to provide an early and accurate diagnosis before a significant loss of dopaminergic neurons. Molecular imaging techniques can be used for early diagnosis of Parkinson disease through a variety of imaging agents. In this paper, the research progress of molecular imaging in the diagnosis of Parkinson disease is reviewed from the aspects of imaging agents and imaging methods.

Objective:To validate the accuracy of three-dimensional anatomical models reconstructed from cone beam CT (CBCT) using micro-CT as the gold standard, and to evaluate the feasibility of performing anatomical analyses on such models.Methods:A total of 13 isolated deciduous teeth with intact roots were collected, including 5 anterior teeth and 8 molars, with a total of 34 root canals. The teeth were extracted from children aged 3-9 years who visited Peking University Hospital of Stomatology from January 2019 to April 2022 due to trauma or periapical disease, and were then scanned by micro-CT (with a voxel size of 0.018 mm) and CBCT (with a voxel size of 0.125 mm), respectively. Using a threshold-based semi-automated region segmentation method, anatomical models of these isolated teeth were reconstructed from the two CTs. Subsequently, the two CT reconstructed models were registered based on the iterative closest point algorithm, followed by deviation analysis. The key anatomical parameters were measured on the micro-CT and CBCT models, respectively, and the differences were calculated.Results:The CBCT reconstruction models were relatively accurate in the hard tissue morphology, and 97.1% (33/34) of the root canals were identified accurately. When it comes to the deviation analysis, the average distance between the matched points on the CBCT reconstruction models and the micro-CT models was (0.01±0.03) mm for the hard tissue, and (0.00±0.03) mm for the pulp chambers and canals, which did not affect clinical observation. The hard tissue and root canal length of CBCT models were both smaller than those of micro-CT models ( P<0.05), with a 95% limits of agreement of (-0.70, 0.14) mm for the hard tissue, and a 95% limits of agreement of (-1.93, 1.00) mm for the pulp chambers and canals. The impact of these differences on clinical operations was all within the acceptable range. Conclusions:Using micro-CT as a validate standard, CBCT with a voxel size of 0.125 mm was proved to be an effective tool for the reconstruction of deciduous teeth. Therefore, the reconstructed models were appropriate for studying deciduous teeth anatomy.

This consensus was developed by the Orthodontic Society of the Chinese Stomatological Association to provide a systematic, scientific, and practical guideline for informed consent in orthodontic care. Orthodontic treatment is typically lengthy, highly individualized, and involves multiple factors such as growth and development, occlusal function, and facial esthetics. Rapid technological advances and diverse risk profiles make the traditional reliance on orthodontist experience or institutional templates insufficient to ensure patients′ full understanding and autonomous decision-making. To address this, the expert panel conducted extensive reviews of domestic and international guidelines, analyzed representative dispute cases, and performed multicenter patient-clinician surveys. Using a multi-round Delphi method, the group established a standardized informed consent framework covering the initial consultation, treatment, and retention phases. The consensus emphasizes that informed consent is not only a fundamental legal and ethical requirement but also a key step in building trust, improving patient compliance, and enhancing treatment satisfaction. Orthodontists should clearly and comprehensively explain treatment plans, potential risks, uncertainties, and associated costs, while respecting the autonomy of patients or guardians, and maintain continuous communication and dynamic evaluation throughout the treatment process. The release of this consensus provides unified and authoritative guidance for clinical orthodontics, helping to standardize informed consent, enhance its transparency, safeguard patient rights, reduce medical risks, and promote high-quality, sustainable development of orthodontic practice.
