Objective:
To establish a prediction model for high-risk cardiovascular disease (CVD) among residents aged 35 to 75 years, so as to provide the basis for improving CVD prevention and control measures.
Methods:
Permanent residents aged 35 to 75 years were selected from Dongcheng District, Beijing Municipality using the stratified random sampling method from 2018 to 2023. Demographic information, lifestyle, waist circumference and blood biochemical indicators were collected through questionnaire surveys, physical examinations and laboratory tests. Influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years were identified using a multivariable logistic regression model, and a prediction model for high-risk CVD was established. The predictive effect was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Results:
A total of 6 968 individuals were surveyed, including 2 821 males (40.49%) and 4 147 females (59.51%), and had a mean age of (59.92±9.33) years. There were 1 155 high-risk CVD population, with a detection rate of 16.58%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, central obesity, systolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were influencing factors for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years (all P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve of the established prediction model was 0.849 (95%CI: 0.834-0.863), with a sensitivity of 0.693 and a specificity of 0.863, indicating good discrimination.
Conclusion
The model constructed by eight factors including demographic characteristics, lifestyle and blood biochemical indicators has good predictive value for high-risk CVD among residents aged 35 to 75 years.

The lung collaterals form a network that branches from the lung meridian, traversing the lung system and extending across the body′s surface. Lung collateral disease refers to the structural alterations or dysfunction in these collaterals caused by external or internal pathogens. Research into the structural and physiological functions of children′s lung collaterals, as well as the pathogenesis and syndrome differentiation for treating lung collateral diseases in children, holds significant value in guiding the prevention and treatment of pediatric respiratory conditions. Drawing on the theory of collateral disease, the clinical insights of both historical and contemporary physicians, and modern research findings—while considering the unique physiological and pathological characteristics of children′s respiratory systems—this study provides a foundational summary of the morphology and spatial distribution of children′s lung collaterals. The characteristics of these collaterals are highlighted as thin, sparse, short, narrow, brittle, and tender. From this structural understanding, the unique physiological functions of children′s lung collaterals are analyzed. The study further explores the interactions between pathogenic factors and lung collaterals, elucidating the pathogenesis and progression of children′s lung collateral diseases. It proposes treatment principles centered on "seeking treatment in the collaterals and employing the method of unblocking collaterals, "which align with the unique features of pediatric lung collaterals. Common treatment approaches, and relevant prescriptions for managing these diseases are summarized. This paper lays the foundation for a theoretical system encompassing the structure, function, pathogenesis, and syndrome differentiation for treating children′s lung collateral diseases. It offers valuable insights for the clinical diagnosis and management of pediatric respiratory diseases linked to collateral dysfunction and serves as a reference for the systematic development of a broader theoretical framework for children′s collateral diseases.

It is considered that the fundamental pathogenesis of pediatric pertussis lies in the dysfunction of lung qi, and it is advocated to treat the disease with the method of regulating qi and relieving cough. Clinically, the disease is divided into three stages for syndrome differentiation and treatment, initial coughing stage, spasmodic coughing stage, and prolonged coughing stage. In the initial coughing stage, the pathogenesis involves invasion by external pathogens and failure of lung qi to disperse; the treatment principle is to release the exterior, expel pathogens, ventilate the lungs, and relieve cough. For cold patterns, modified San'ao Decoction (三拗汤) is prescribed; for heat type, a self-formulated Qingqi Xuanfei Decoction (清气宣肺汤) is used. In the spasmodic coughing stage, the pathogenesis is the congealing of phlegm and fire with impaired lung purification; the treatment focuses on eliminating phlegm, dredging the meridians, purging the lungs, and relieving cough. Mild cases are treated with a self-formulated Tongluo Xiefei Decoction (通络泻肺汤), while severe cases are treated with a modified combination of Maxing Shigan Decoction (麻杏石甘汤) and Qianjin Weijing Decoction (千金苇茎汤). In the prolonged coughing stage, the pathogenesis involves the depletion of qi and yin and latent pathogens in a weakened lung; the treatment aims to tonify qi, nourish yin, moisten the lungs, and eliminate residual pathogens. For lung yin deficiency, modified Shashen Maidong Decoction (沙参麦冬汤) is used; for lung-spleen qi deficiency, a self-formulated Jianpi Gufei Decoction (健脾固肺汤) is prescribed.

OBJECTIVE:
To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture based on the "head qijie" theory combined with endovascular intervention in the treatment of ischemic stroke (IS).
METHODS:
Sixty-six IS patients were randomly divided into an experimental group (33 cases, 3 cases dropped out) and a control group (33 cases, 3 cases dropped out). The control group received endovascular intervention. On the basis of the treatment in the control group, the experimental group received acupuncture based on the "head qijie" theory starting from the second day after surgery, Baihui (GV20) and bilateral Fengchi (GB20), Tianzhu (BL10), etc. were selected, once a day, 6 times a week for 2 weeks. Before and after treatment, the scores of National Institutes of Health stroke scale (NIHSS), modified Barthel index (MBI) and modified Rankin scale (mRS) were observed in the two groups, the clinical efficacy and safety were evaluated.
RESULTS:
After treatment, the NIHSS and mRS scores were decreased compared with those before treatment in both groups (P<0.01), the NIHSS and mRS scores in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the MBI scores were increased compared with those before treatment in both groups (P<0.01), the MBI score in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate in the experimental group was 86.7% (26/30), which was higher than 66.7% (20/30) in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of adverse events in the experimental group was 6.7% (2/30), which was lower than 13.3% (4/30) in the control group (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
Acupuncture based on the "head qijie" theory combined with endovascular intervention in treating IS has good efficacy, improves neurological function, and enhances daily living ability.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of dapagliflozin on liver lipid metabolism and gut microecology in mice with metabolic associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD), and to clarify its potential mechanism. MethodsA total of 50 male C57 mice were randomly divided into Control group, type 2 diabetes+MAFLD group (MAFLD group), dapagliflozin group (DAPA group), meldonium group (THP group), and dapagliflozin+meldonium group (DAPA+THP group), with 10 mice in each group. High-fat diet combined with streptozotocin was used to establish a mouse model of MAFLD. Treatment outcomes were assessed based on histopathology and biochemical parameters such as blood glucose and blood lipid levels, and the transcriptomic and metagenomic analyses were used to identify differentially expressed genes and the changes in gut microbiota. A one-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for comparison between two groups; the Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between multiple groups, and the Nemenyi test was used for comparison between two groups. ResultsHistopathological examination showed that the mice in the MAFLD group had excessive lipid deposition and hepatocyte steatosis; compared with the MAFLD group, the DAPA group had a significant improvement in hepatocyte steatosis, while the THP group and the DAPA+THP group had a less significant improvement compared with the DAPA group. Compared with the Control group, the MAFLD group had a significant increase in fasting blood glucose (P<0.05), significant increases in the serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), malondialdehyde, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05), and a significant reduction in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (P<0.05). Compared with the MAFLD group, the DAPA group, the THP group, and the DAPA+THP group had significant reductions in the serum levels of ALT and AST (P<0.05). The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that compared with the Control group, the MAFLD group had significant changes in gut microbiota, with an increase in Firmicutes and a reduction in Bacteroidetes, as well as reductions in S24-7 and Erysipelotrichaceae and an increase in Lactobacillaceae. The levels of the above flora were upregulated to normal levels in the DAPA group, the THP group, and the DAPA+THP group. The liver transcriptomic analysis showed that the enriched metabolic pathways included steroid hormone biosynthesis, bile secretion, inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP, fatty acid elongation, and lipid biodegradation processes, and the related genes mainly involved the key targets of lipid metabolism such as Acot2, Angptl4, Scd2, and Npc1l1. ConclusionDapagliflozin can alleviate MAFLD through the pathways such as steroid hormone biosynthesis, bile secretion, inflammatory mediator regulation of TRP, and fatty acid elongation, as well as by regulating gut microbiota homeostasis.

Objective:
To investigate the value of decreased carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA19-9) kinetics in predicting short-term outcomes and determining prognosis among advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer patients receiving first-or second-line therapy in the real world.
Methods :
Eighty-nine patients were retrospectively collected with advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer, especially on the CA19-9 dynamics and decline rates at different time points. This study evaluated the association of CA19-9 changes with clinicopathological features, short-term response to antitumor therapy, and survival outcomes.
Results :
The enrolled patients recorded baseline CA19-9 levels ranging from 1.20 to 65 706.40 U/ml, with a median of 303.11 U/ml. There was no statistical correlation between baseline CA19-9 levels and gender, age, body mass index, primary tumor site, hepatic metastases, pulmonary metastases, lymph node metastases, peritoneal metastases, performance status, treatment lines, and combinations of drug types. Baseline CA19-9 levels were not associated with systemic immunoinflammatory index, prognostic nutritional index, and total bilirubin. A 25% or 50% decrease in CA19-9 after 2-3 therapy courses indicated short-term efficacy in reaching tumor objective remission or disease control. Both combinations of multiple drug types and a 25% decline in CA19-9 after one course of treatment were independent prognostic factors that affected the longer progression-free survival of patients receiving first or second line of treatment.
Conclusion
Decreased CA19-9 kinetics has specific values in predicting the efficacy and prognosis of advanced biliary or pancreatic cancer.

This paper summarized professor WANG Shouchuan's experience in differentiating and treating children epistaxis from the perspective of "four excess and three deficiency". It is believed that the pathogenesis of children epistaxis is concluded as "four excess and three deficiency", of which the four excess syndromes are exuberant heat in the lung channel, intense stomach fire, heart fire hyperactivity, and liver fire flaming upward, while the three deficiency syndromes include qi, yin and yang deficiency. Seven methods for treating children epistaxis are summarized. For exuberant heat in the lung channel syndrome, it is recommended to clear lung and direct qi downward, using self-made Xiebai Zhiniu Decoction (泻白止衄汤). For intense stomach fire syndrome, the method of clearing stomach and draining fire can be used with self-made Qingwei Zhiniu Decoction (清胃止衄汤). In terms of heart fire hyperactivity syndrome, it is better to clear heart and drain fire, using self-made Daochi Zhiniu Decoction (导赤止衄汤). For liver fire flaming upward syndrome, it is advised to clear liver and drain fire, using self-made Yimu Zhiniu Decoction (抑木止衄汤). In terms of qi deficiency syndrome, the method of fortifying spleen and boosting qi and containing blood should be used with self-made Futu Zhiniu Decoction (扶土止衄汤). If there is yin deficiency syndrome, it is advised to supplement kidney, enrich yin and clear heat, using self-made Zishui Zhiniu Decoction (滋水止衄汤). If there is yang deficiency syndrome, the method of boosting qi, warming yang and nourishing blood can be used, using self-made Wenpi Zhiniu Decoction (温脾止衄汤).
