Abstract Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has demonstrated unique advantages in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as glycolipid metabolism disorder. However, its widespread application has been hindered by the unclear biological essence of TCM syndromes and therapeutic mechanisms. As an emerging interdisciplinary field, phenomics integrates multi-dimensional data including genome, transcriptome, proteome, metabolome, and microbiome. When combined with TCM's holistic philosophy, it forms TCM phenomics, providing novel approaches to reveal the biological connotation of TCM syndromes and the mechanisms of herbal medicine. Taking glycolipid metabolism disorder as an example, this paper explores the application of TCM phenomics in glycolipid metabolism disorder. By analyzing molecular characteristics of related syndromes, TCM phenomics identifies differentially expressed genes, metabolites, and gut microbiota biomarkers to elucidate the dynamic evolution patterns of syndromes. Simultaneously, it deciphers the multi-target regulatory networks of herbal formulas, demonstrating their therapeutic effects through mechanisms including modulation of insulin signaling pathways, improvement of gut microbiota imbalance, and suppression of inflammatory responses. Current challenges include the subjective nature of syndrome diagnosis, insufficient standardization of animal models, and lack of integrated multi-omics analysis. Future research should employ machine learning, multimodal data integration, and cross-omics longitudinal studies to establish quantitative diagnostic systems for syndromes, promote the integration of precision medicine in TCM and western medicine, and accelerate the modernization of TCM.

Objective To investigate the alterations of cerebral blood flow(CBF)in type 2 diabetic mellitus(T2DM) patients without cognitive impairment by using arterial spin labeling(ASL)technique.Methods A total of 23 T2DM patients without cognitive impairment and 23 healthy controls(HC)matched by age,sex,and education attainment were recruited.Their clinical data were collected,and neuropsychological tests and cerebral magnetic resonance imaging were performed.Then,the outcomes of clinical features,neuropsychological tests,and global and regional CBF were compared between the two groups.The significant regional zCBF(z-transformed relative CBF)values were extracted and correlated with clinical data and neuropsychological scores in T2DM patients,controlling age,sex,and education.Results No significant difference was found in whole brain CBF between the two groups(P=0.155),while significantly higher CBF was identified in the left superior temporal gyrus and left insula in the T2DM group(Gaussian random field correction,initial threshold P < 0.001,cluster level P < 0.05).No correlation was observed between the significant regional zCBF values and the clinical data or the neuropsychological scores in T2DM patients(all P>0.05).Conclusion Alterations in cerebral hemodynamics may precede cognitive function changes in T2DM,suggesting that the ASL technique is promising for early monitoring of cerebral hemodynamic changes associated with cognitive impairment in patients with T2DM.

Single molecule fluorescence in situ hybridization (smFISH) is a method for imaging single mRNA molecule in fixed cell or tissue using oligonucleotide probes coupled with fluorophores. It can realize real-time study of interested transcripts by RNA localization and quantification. smFISH is widely suitable for many types of biological samples such as cell and tissue sections. It was invented in 1982 which opened up the application of visualizing single molecules. However, due to its shortcomings such as poor binding specificity, Raj et al. optimized this technique in 2008, using 48 independent probes that were separately coupled with fluorophores to locate transcripts. In contrast, methods using multiple labeled probes can distinguish false positive or false negative results due to a single probe misbinding or unbinding event. However, with the continuous application of the technique, it was found that the scheme still has many technical defects, such as low probe specificity, weak fluorescence intensity, low hybridization efficiency, and high background fluorescence. Since then, a series of derivative technologies have been developed. For example, HCR-FISH is a multi-fluorescence in situ hybridization method based on orthogonal amplification and hybridization chain reaction, which significantly improves the problem of weak signal. SeqFISH amplifies the signal and reduces nonspecific binding by continuously hybridizing the mRNA in the cell, imaging it, and stripping the probe in order to barcode RNA. MERFISH utilizes combination labeling, continuous imaging and other technologies to increase detection throughput, and uses binary barcodes to offset single-molecule labeling and detection errors, with more advanced built-in error correction functions to effectively improve the accuracy of results. ClampFISH uses biological orthogonal click chemistry to effectively lock the probe around the target and prevent the probe from disengaging in amplification microscopy. RNAscope amplifies its own signal while simultaneously suppressing the background by using novel probe design strategy and hybridization-based signal amplification system. Split-FISH uses splitting probes for signal enhancement to accurately detect single RNA molecule in complex tissue environments. AmpFISH achieves imaging of short RNA molecules by preparing long single-strand DNA concatemers through controlled rolling circle amplification. CircFISH uses two unique sets of probes (PC probes and PL probes) to distinguish between linear and circular RNAs. π-FISH rainbow enables simultaneous detection of DNA, RNA, and proteins at the single-molecule level with π-FISH target probes. HT-smFISH is more suitable for large or high throughput form of systematic experiments. With the development of technology, the subsequent data analysis process is particularly important. Different analysis software, such as dotdotdot and FISH-quant v2, also improve the process of smFISH. The excellent ability of smFISH to visualize single molecule of RNA makes that it is widely used in basic biological disciplines such as tumor biology, developmental biology, neurobiology, botany, virology. In this paper, we reviewed the basic principle of smFISH technology, its development process and improvement, limitations of smFISH technology and how to avoid them, its derivative technologies include HCR-FISH, SeqFISH, MERFISH, ClampFISH, RNAscope, Split-FISH, AmpFISH, CircFISH, π-FISH rainbow and HT-smFISH. The application progress of smFISH in different biological disciplines, such as developmental biology, tumor biology, neurobiology. Finally, the development prospect of smFISH technology is prospected.

Methamphetamine(METH)is highly addictive and neurotoxic,which causes cognitive and memory dysfunction in abusers.The harm of METH lies not only in its own toxicity,but also in the high physical and mental dependence of drug addicts,often causing mental disorders and violent behavior,bringing great safety risks to society.Non-coding RNA(ncRNA)does not encode proteins and is an important factor in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level.Studies have shown that ncRNA plays an important regulatory role in methamphetamine-induced addiction and neurotoxicity,but the specific mechanism is unclear.This article reviews the current research progress of ncRNA in regulating METH-induced addiction and neurotoxicity to provide a reference for ncRNA as a forensic identification index and potential therapeutic target for METH abusers.

Diabetic gastroenteropathy is a serious chronic complication that accompanies the progression of diabetes mellitus， severely impacting patients' quality of life and overall health. Nearly half of diabetic patients experience symptoms such as nausea， vomiting， early satiety， abdominal distension， and abdominal pain， which increases their anxiety and depression， prompting frequent medical visits and further burdening the healthcare system. In-depth research into the pathogenesis of diabetic gastroenteropathy has identified several core mechanisms， including hyperglycemia， autonomic and enteric nervous system dysfunction， abnormal secretion of gastrointestinal hormones， macrophage polarization， brain-gut axis dysregulation， microRNA deficiency， and oxidative stress-induced damage and apoptosis of interstitial cells of Cajal （ICC）. Current clinical treatments mainly rely on prokinetic and antiemetic drugs. However， their notable adverse effects and diminishing efficacy with long-term use remain pressing issues. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， with its unique theoretical framework and extensive practical experience， potent in prescription formulation and acupoint selection guided by holistic concepts and syndrome differentiation， has gradually become an important option for treating diabetic gastroenteropathy. Numerous studies have confirmed that mechanisms include improving gastrointestinal hormone secretion， repairing ICC damage， regulating the nervous system， reducing oxidative stress， and modulating the brain-gut axis. These findings provide new insights into the treatment of diabetic gastroenteropathy. This article summarized the pathogenesis of diabetic gastroenteropathy and reviewed recent research on Chinese medicine and acupuncture-moxibustion therapy in improving gastrointestinal motility for diabetic gastroenteropathy treatment， aiming to offer clinical treatment insights and highlight the need for further research to explore comprehensive and individualized treatment approaches， providing better strategies for managing diabetic gastroenteropathy.

Narrative medicine,as an interdisciplinary field at the intersection of humanistic education and medical edu-cation,is an effective means of implementing medical humanities.It not only fosters deeper empathy and communication between doctors and patients but also plays an important role in clinical practice and the cultivation of humanistic qualities.This study starts from the core connotation of integrating narrative medicine into the doctor-patient relationship,focusing on the value logic of narrative medicine empowering humanistic care.Utilizing a typical case from a hospital in Tianjin that practices humanistic care based on narrative medicine,the study examines the organizational structure,practical activities,humanistic care initiatives,health education,supportive measures,and outcomes of the narrative medicine healthcare management team.The conclusion drawn is that exploring mechanisms for medical communication and the cultivation of humanistic qualities can facilitate the mutual transformation of narrative and empathy skills,the organic combination of narrative medicine with evidence-based medicine,and the complementary relationship between clinical medicine and humanistic education.This approach aims to alleviate the increas-ingly prominent conflicts between doctors and patients,bridge the gap between humanity and technology,and promote the imple-mentation of medical humanities in clinical settings.

Sepsis is a potentially fatal condition characterized by the failure of one or more organs due to a disordered host response to infection. The development of sepsis is closely linked to immune dysfunction. As a result, immunotherapy has gained traction as a promising approach to sepsis treatment, as it holds the potential to reverse immunosuppression and restore immune balance, thereby improving the prognosis of septic patients. However, due to the highly heterogeneous nature of sepsis, it is crucial to carefully select the appropriate patient population for immunotherapy. This review summarizes the current and evolved treatments for sepsis-induced immunosuppression to enhance clinicians' understanding and practical application of immunotherapy in the management of sepsis.

Tongxie Yaofang， also known as Baizhu Shaoyaosan， was first recorded in Danxi's Experiential Therapy （《丹溪心法》） by ZHU Danxi in the Yuan dynasty. It is composed of Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Paeoniae Radix Alba， Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium， and Saposhnikoviae Radix， and serves as the representative prescription for the treatment of painful diarrhea. It has the functions of tonifying the spleen， emolliating the liver， relieving pain， and checking diarrhea， and is mainly used in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome （IBS） and ulcerative colitis （UC）. In addition， it is effective in treating gastrointestinal disorders with mental and psychological abnormalities， as well as obstinate anorexia in children， depression syndrome， and respiratory diseases. Experimental research and clinical practice have shown that Tongxie Yaofang has multi-component， multi-pathway， and multi-target characteristics in the treatment of diseases. The mechanism of Tongxie Yaofang in treating diseases is mainly attributed to anti-inflammation， immune function regulation， intestinal hypersensitivity improvement， emotion regulation， etc. Monoterpene glycosides， flavonoids， chromones， lactones， and other components contained play an important therapeutic role. The research on the systems biology of Tongxie Yaofang， such as metabolomics， proteomics， and network pharmacology， provides a scientific basis for clarifying its mechanism of action and expanding its clinical application. However， there are still some problems to be solved， such as difficulty in combining diseases and syndromes and lack of in-depth systematic research. Through the retrieval and collation of relevant literature， this paper systematically reviewed the material basis， pharmacological effects， and systems biology research of Tongxie Yaofang， aiming to lay a foundation for in-depth research on its mechanism in treating diseases and rational application in clinical practice.
