Autophagy is a lysosome-dependent intracellular degradation process,and it is a key mechanism of diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM). Autophagy has dual regulatory effects on DCM. Under physiological conditions,normal autophagy can promote the decomposition of damaged cardiomyocytes and metabolites,so as to reduce the damage of harmful substances to the body and provide energy for cardiomyocytes. Under pathological conditions,the inhibited autophagy of cardiomyocytes will cause the accumulation of damaged cells and metabolites,which will cause damage to cardiomyocytes and eventually aggravate cardiac dysfunction in the patients with DCM. However,the over autophagy of cardiomyocytes will lead to autophagic death of a large number of cardiomyocytes and result in pathological myocardial remodeling and cardiac dysfunction,thus promoting the progression of DCM. Therefore,the restoration of a normal autophagy level is the key means to protect cardiomyocytes and improve the prognosis of DCM. Chinese medicine can regulate autophagy to treat DCM. Specifically,it can promote autophagy (making up for deficiency) or inhibit autophagy (removing excess) to restore the balance of autophagy,thereby alleviating DCM.

During coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic, the treatment of severe trauma has been impacted. The Consensus on emergency surgery and infection prevention and control for severe trauma patients with 2019 novel corona virus pneumonia was published online on February 12, 2020, providing a strong guidance for the emergency treatment of severe trauma and the self-protection of medical staffs in the early stage of the epidemic. With the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council renaming "novel coronavirus pneumonia" to "novel coronavirus infection" and the infection being managed with measures against class B infectious diseases since January 8, 2023, the consensus published in 2020 is no longer applicable to the emergency treatment of severe trauma in the new stage of epidemic prevention and control. In this context, led by the Chinese Traumatology Association, Chinese Trauma Surgeon Association, Trauma Medicine Branch of Chinese International Exchange and Promotive Association for Medical and Health Care, and Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology, the Chinese expert consensus on emergency surgery for severe trauma and infection prevention during coronavirus disease 2019 epidemic ( version 2023) is formulated to ensure the effectiveness and safety in the treatment of severe trauma in the new stage. Based on the policy of the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council and by using evidence-based medical evidence as well as Delphi expert consultation and voting, 16 recommendations are put forward from the four aspects of the related definitions, infection prevention, preoperative assessment and preparation, emergency operation and postoperative management, hoping to provide a reference for severe trauma care in the new stage of the epidemic prevention and control.

Bipolar disorder (BD) is considered to be mainly related to qi, phlegm, fire and deficiency. Binding constraint of liver qi is the initial cause, while phlegm and qi interact obstruction as well as phlegm and fire interact binding is the key pathogenesis of the transformation between depression and mania, and deficiency of both qi and yin is the main reason of the protracted course of disease. In clinical practice, BD is divided into binding constraint of liver qi pattern, phlegm and qi interact obstruction pattern, phlegm and fire interact binding pattern, and deficiency of both qi and yin pattern, which can be treated with Jinyu Shugan Powder (金玉疏肝散), Kaiyu Wendan Decoction (开郁温胆汤), Qingxin Huatan Decoction (清心化痰汤), and Baihe Shengmai Beverage (百合生脉饮) in their modifications respectively; moreover, Guanye Jinsitao (Herba Hyperici Perforati) is usually used to rectify qi, relieve phlegm and clear heat. It is also suggested to put focus on the prevention and treatment of qi, phlegm and heat simultaneously, and modify the medicinals flexibly in accordance with the pathogenesis evolution and the abnormal exuberance.

Objective:To investigate the effect of conventional treatment plus long-term transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on consciousness recovery in patients with minimally conscious state (MCS) after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 60 patients with MCS after TBI admitted to Zhejiang Armed Police Corps Hospital from January 2019 to December 2020, including 38 males and 22 females, aged 19-60 years [(45.7±11.4)years]. Course of disease was 3-6 months [(4.6±0.9)months]. Of all, 30 patients received internal medicine, hyperbaric oxygen, rehabilitation and other conventional treatment (conventional treatment group), and 30 patients received tDCS stimulation on the basis of conventional treatment (tDCS treatment group). The tDCS stimulation contained 4 cycles for 28 days with each cycle lasting for 7 days (stimulation for 5 days, rest for 2 days). Coma recovery scale-revised (CRS-R) total score, brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) score and clinical effictive rate (significantly effective+effective) were compared between the two groups before treatment, during 4 cycles of treatment and at 6 months and 12 months after treatment. Complications induced by tDCS were also evaluated.Results:There was no significant difference in CRS-R total score and BAEP score between the two groups before treatment (all P>0.05). CRS-R total score and BAEP score in tDCS treatment group were significantly higher than those in conventional treatment group during 4 cycles of treatment and at 6 months and 12 months after treatment (all P<0.05). CRS-R total score and BAEP score in both groups gradually increased during 4 cycles of treatment and at 6 months and 12 months after treatment (all P<0.05). The clinical effective rate in tDCS treatment group was 73% (22/30) when compared to 57% (17/30) in conventional treatment group ( P<0.05). In tDCS treatment group, 10 patients had local reversible slight redness at the cathodal position, while no other serious adverse effects, such as local burns, ulceration, exudation or epilepsy. Conclusion:Compared with conventional treatment, conventional treatment plus long-term tDCS can be more effective in improving the state of consciousness without serious adverse effects for MCS patients after TBI.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is a common disease with high incidence rate and mortality worldwide. Atherosclerosis is an important pathological basis for the formation of ischemic cardiovascular diseases such as cardiovascular disease, which is related to inflammation, oxidative stress, apoptosis, vascular endothelial damage, foam cell formation, platelet activation, and so on, involving mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt), cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA), Ras homolog gene family member A (RhoA)/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (ROCK), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and other signaling pathways. In the past few decades, high-intensity statins were mainly used to treat atherosclerosis by reducing blood lipid levels, which usually caused obvious side effects. Therefore, the development of safer and more effective drugs and treatment modes is the focus of research at this stage. In recent years, Chinese medicine has been playing an increasingly important role in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases in China. There are many studies on the mechanism of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and it is found that a variety of single Chinese medicine regulate the formation process of atherosclerosis by regulating targeted signal molecules. This paper reviewed the research results of related signaling pathways involved in the pathological formation of atherosclerosis and the mechanism of Chinese medicine in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, thereby providing references for the clinical treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical features and genetic mutation in a family affected with non-syndrome X-linked intellectual disability (NS-XLID) using whole exome sequencing (WES).
METHODSMultiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was applied to screen potential mutations of Fragile X syndrome (FXS). Whole exome sequencing (WES) and Sanger sequencing were screen for pathological mutations.
RESULTSFXS was excluded by MLPA analysis. WES has discovered in the proband an ARX gene mutation c.88G>T, which was confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Combining his clinical phenotype with information from the OMIM database, it was inferred that the ARX mutation probably underlies the NS-XLID in the proband. The same mutation was found in his mother and two uncles but not in his father and sister.
CONCLUSIONWES is capable of revealing the mutation underlying NS-XLID and can facilitate genetic counseling for the affected families.
