The theory of constitution in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has emerged as a new discipline in recent years. Constitution plays a vital role in the onset，progression，transformation，and prognosis of diseases. At present，some clinical scholars have adopted a novel diagnostic and treatment model of "constitution differentiation-disease identification-syndrome differentiation"，in which constitution is regarded as a core element throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Constitution is closely associated with etiology，onset，pathogenesis，syndrome differentiation，and treatment. Against this background，the construction of animal models based on constitution holds far-reaching significance for advancing clinical research. This paper focuses on the construction and evaluation of rodent models with Qi-deficiency constitution，aiming to explore how to further induce Qi-deficiency syndromes and related disease states on the basis of Qi-deficiency constitution models，thereby developing an integrated animal model that embodies the trinity of "constitution-disease-syndrome". The establishment of this model not only provides a solid experimental foundation for the development of new therapies and drugs in TCM targeting specific constitutions，diseases，and syndromes，but also greatly promotes the modernization and scientific advancement of TCM theory. By comprehensively applying multidisciplinary technologies and methods，the study evaluates the model's validity，reliability，and practicality，with the aim of opening new avenues for future research in TCM and promoting the development of the field.

Background: and Purpose Ruptured intracranial aneurysms (RIA) are associated with a mortality rate of up to 40% in the Chinese population, highlighting the critical need for targeted treatment interventions for at-risk individuals. Although the impact of aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) gene mutations on susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms (IA) is well documented, the potential connection between ALDH2 rs671 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and RIA remains unexplored. Given the increased prevalence of ALDH2 gene mutations among Chinese Han individuals, it is clinically relevant to investigate the link between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and IA rupture. Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 546 patients diagnosed with IA to investigate the association between ALDH2 rs671 SNP and the risk of IA rupture. Results: The ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*2) was significantly more prevalent in patients with unruptured IA (UIA) than in those with RIA (32.56% vs. 18.58%, P=0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that people with the ALDH2 mutation (ALDH2*1/*2 and ALDH2*2/*2 gene type) had a significantly reduced odds ratio (OR=0.49; 95% confidence level [CI] 0.27–0.88; P=0.018) for RIAs. Age-specific subgroup analysis indicated that the ALDH2 mutation provided a stronger protective effect in individuals aged 60 years and above with IA compared to those under 60 years old (OR=0.38 vs. OR=0.52, both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence of RIA was significantly higher in individuals with a normal ALDH2 gene (ALDH2*1/*1) than in those with an ALDH2 rs671 SNP (ALDH2*1/*2 or ALDH2*2/*2). ALDH2 rs671 SNP may serve as a protective factor against RIA in the Chinese Han population.

Objective:To investigate the situation of computed tomography(CT)equipment and socio economic development of various grades and classifications of medical institutions in Jiangsu Province,and to analyze the interrelationship between them.Methods:From October 20,2023 to November 20,2023,a questionnaire survey was conducted on imported and domestic CT equipment of various grades and classifications of medical institutions in 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province through online questionnaire survey of"questionnaire star".The gross domestic product(GDP)of each prefecture-level city in Jiangsu province was used as an indicator of measuring the level of socio-economic development in the region.The CT number,the row number of detector,quality of image,the total examination case number of daily average and the daily average case number of single machine examination of medical institutions of various grades and classifications of 13 prefecture-level cities were used to conduct correlation analysis with GDP values of various districts.Results:A total of 910 questionnaires were distributed,and 512 questionnaires were retrieved.There were 482 valid questionnaires in the 512 questionnaires,and the valid rate was 94.15,which involved to 482 various grade and classification institutions of 13 prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu province.The number of imported and domestic CT equipment in the 13 prefecture-level cities of Jiangsu Province positively correlated with the GDP of each city(r=0.882,0.880,P<0.001).The number of imported CT equipment with 64 rows and more than 64 rows,and with less than 64 rows,and the number of domestic CT equipment with 64 rows and more than 64 rows,and with less than 64 rows all positively correlated with the GDP of each city(r=0.880,0.881,0.736,0.897,P<0.05).The total number of daily average of examinations for imported and domestic CT equipment of 13 prefecture-level cities positively correlated with the GDP of each city(r=0.774,0.814,P<0.05).There were no significant difference in the image quality and the daily average case number of single machine examination between the domestic CT equipment and the imported CT equipment(P>0.05).Conclusion:The medical institutions of city with high level of economic development have more quantitative and more high-end CT equipment,and the quality of image of domestic CT equipment is equal to that of imported CT equipment regardless of the high and low level of economic development.

AIM To investigate the effect of Fuzheng Hefu Zhiyang Formula(FZHFZY)on psoriasis-like skin lesions and immune regulation in mice.METHODS In the in vivo experiment,30 BALB/c mice were randomly divided into the blank group,the model group,the dexamethasone group(1.5 g/kg of compound dexamethasone acetate cream),and the low-dose(2.5 g/kg)and high-dose(5 g/kg)FZHFZY groups,with six mice in each group.The experiment groups were treated with respective FZHFZY and dexamethasone,and the other groups were given normal saline for 10 consecutive days,during which psoriatic skin lesions were induced with imiquimod cream for 7 consecutive days.The mice had their area and severity of psoriasis assessed by PASI score;their histological changes of skin lesions.observed with Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining;their F4/80 ratio of skin lesions observed with immunohistochemical(IHC)staining;their protein expressions of P38,p-P38,Erk,p-Erk,P65 and p-P65 detected by Western blot;and their mRNA expressions of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),IL-17,IL-23 and IL-1β detected by RT-qPCR.In the in vitro research,the cultured RAW264.7 cells were divided into the blank group,the LPS group,and the FZHFZY groups(1 200,600,300,150 μg/mL).The cells had their protein expressions of P38,p-P38,Erk,p-Erk,P65 and p-P65 detected with Western blot;and their mRNA expressions of IL-6,TNF-α,IL-23 and IL-8 detected by RT-qPCR.RESULTS The in vivo experiment showed that compared to the model group,the FZHFZY groups demonstrated decreased PASI score(P＜0.01);improved epidermal thickening and parakeratosis of skin lesions as revealed by HE staining result and increased expression of F4/80 in IHC staining sections;decreased protein expression ratios of p-P38/P38,p-ERK/Erk and p-P65/P65 in skin(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and reduced mRNA expressions of TNF-α,IL-17,IL-23 and IL-1β in the skin(P＜0.01).FZHFZY(0～2 400 μg/mL)showed no significant cytotoxicity towards RAW264.7 cells in vitro(P＞0.05).Compared to those of the LPS group,the cells exposed to FZHFZ at concentrations of 1 200 and 600 μg/mL demonstrated decreased protein expression ratios of p-P38/P38,p-ERK/Erk,and p-P65/P65(P＜0.05,P＜0.01);and significantly decreased mRNA expressions of TNF-α,IL-17,IL-23 and IL-1β(P＜0.01).CONCLUSION FZHFZY alleviates imiquimod-induced psoriatic lesions in mice and suppresses inflammatory response in LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells by inhibiting P38/Erk/NF-κB signaling pathway.

OBJECTIVE To standardize the strategies for prevention and control of Chikungunya(CHIK)in healthcare in-stitutions so as to reduce the risk of transmission in the institutions.METHODS A working group comprising the ex-perts in hospital infection control,infectious diseases,and microbiology systematically reviewed domestic and international evidence and current guidelines,integrated China's vector ecology and healthcare realities,conducted two rounds of Delphi to achieve expert consensus,and graded the evidence and recommendation strength using the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine system.RESULTS The consensus issues 18 actionable recommendations on triage,patient mosquito-proof isolation,integrated vector control,protection of susceptible populations,environmental cleaning and disinfection,specimen management,medical textile handling,and outbreak emergency response,with each statement assigned an evi-dence level and recommendation strength.CONCLUSION This consensus is for the first time in China to provide evidence-graded strategies for control of CHIK in healthcare institutions,offering work flow-oriented,implementable guidance for clinicians,laboratorians,and infection-control personnel under different risk scenarios and enhancing the comprehensive coping capacity of the healthcare institutions.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty and traditional open reduction and internal fixation in the treatment of AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze the clinical data of 70 patients with AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture who were admitted to Wuhan Fourth Hospital from September 2019 to October 2022, including 35 males and 35 females, aged 24-62 years [(44.9±9.5)years]. Among them, 41 patients underwent traditional open reduction and internal fixation (open reduction group), while 29 patients underwent robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty (balloon group). The following parameters were compared between the two groups: incision length, operative blood loss, number of intraoperative fluoroscopies, operation duration, and length of hospital stay; Rasmussen radiological scores at 3 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up and the fracture healing time; pain visual analogue scale (VAS) scores preoperatively, and at 2 days and 3 months postoperatively; knee joint range of motion at 5 days, 3 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up; Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) knee function scores at 3, 6 months postoperatively, and at the last follow-up; incidence rate of complications at 15 days postoperatively.Results:All the patients were followed for 12-24 months [18(17, 20)months]. The incision length, operative blood loss and length of hospital stay in the balloon group were 1.6(1.5, 3.0)cm, 5.0(5.0, 5.0)ml and 11.0(9.0, 14.0)days, less than those in the open reduction group [12.0(11.0, 12.0)cm, 100.0(50.0, 120.0)ml and 15.0(13.0, 20.0)days] ( P<0.01). The number of intraoperative fluoroscopies and operation duration in the open reduction group were 9.0(7.0, 10.0)times and 75.0(60.0, 90.0)minutes, less than those in the balloon group [336.0(335.0, 340.0)times and [90.0(70.0, 105.0)minutes] ( P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the Rasmussen radiological scores between the two groups at 3 days, 3 months postoperatively, or at the last follow-up ( P>0.05). The fracture healing time in the balloon group was 3.0(3.0, 3.0)months, shorter than 3.0(3.0, 3.5)months in the open reduction group ( P<0.05). No significant differences were observed between the two groups in VAS scores before operation or at 3 months postoperatively ( P>0.05). However, the VAS score was 2.0(2.0, 3.0)points at 2 days postoperatively in the balloon group, lower than 5.0(5.0, 6.0)points in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). The knee joint range of motion at 5 days, 3 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were 90.0(85.0, 90.0)°, 135.0(130.0, 135.0)° and 140.0(135.0, 140.0)° in the balloon group, better than 65.0(60.0, 70.0)°, 125.0(120.0, 130.0)°, 130.0(130.0, 140.0)° in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). Similarly, the HSS knee function scores at 3, 6 months postoperatively and at the last follow-up were 80.0(80.0, 81.0)points, 91.0(90.0, 92.0)points, and 95.0(93.0, 96.0)points in the balloon group, better than 71.0(70.0, 72.0)points, 83.0(81.0, 84.0)points, and 86.0(84.0, 88.0)points in the open reduction group ( P<0.01). The incidence rate of complications in the balloon group was 0, comparable to 12% (5/41) in the open reduction group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Compared with traditional open reduction and internal fixation surgery, robot-assisted balloon tibioplasty in the treatment of AO/OTA type 41B2 tibial plateau fracture significantly reduces surgical trauma, alleviates postoperative pain, promotes fracture healing, and accelerates functional recovery of the affected limbs.

Objective To investigate the underlying mechanisms of the effect of Fufang Changtai Decoction(FFCT)in inhibiting colorectal cancer(CRC)through the ferroptosis pathway using network pharmacology combined with experimental validation.Methods The Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform(TCMSP)and Swiss Target Prediction databases were employed for the systematic screening of potent active ingredients and therapeutic targets of FFCT.In addition,the identification of CRC-associated genes and ferroptosis-related genes(FRGs)was accomplished using the Gene Cards and FerrDb databases,respectively.Venn diagrams,coupled with Cytoscape software,facilitated the comprehensive analysis of key FRGs involved in FFCT's intervention in CRC by mapping the TCM compound-therapeutic target network.Transmission electron microscopy was used to examine the mitochondrial ultrastructure of SW480 and HCT116,2 Human CRC cell lines,after treatment with FFCT-containing serum.Intracellular reactive oxygen species(ROS)levels were measured using a ROS detection kit.To assess the role of ferroptosis,ferroptosis inhibitor liproxstatin-1(Lip-1)was co-administered with FFCT-containing serum.The effects on cancer cell viability and proliferation were evaluated using CCK-8 and colony formation assays.Key molecular targets involved in the regulatory effects of FFCT on the expression of FRGs were further analyzed using PCR Array and Western blot.The findings were then validated with human CRC tissue microarrays.Results A total of 103 active ingredients of FFCT,739 therapeutic targets,9 101 disease-related genes,and 564 FRGs were identified.Venn diagram analysis identified 81 FRGs associated with FFCT intervention.Network analysis revealed that NQO1,TP53,and PTGS2 served as hub nodes in the regulatory network.Findings from the in vitro experiments showed that FFCT induced ferroptosis changes,including mitochondrial condensation,membrane thickening,and cristae reduction,in SW480 and HCT116 cells.FFCT treatment significantly increased intracellular ROS levels in a dose-dependent manner(P<0.05)and reduced cancer cell viability and proliferative capacity(P<0.01).These inhibitory effects were partially reversed by Lip-1,suggesting that FFCT's antitumor activity was closely associated with the ferroptosis pathway.PCR Array and Western blot analyses further confirmed that FFCT significantly downregulated NQO1 mRNA and protein expression in cancer cells(P<0.001),which was consistent with network pharmacology predictions.Immunofluorescence analysis of clinical CRC tissue microarrays revealed that NQO1 expression was significantly higher in tumor tissues than in adjacent non-tumor tissues(P<0.001).Conclusion FFCT may induce intracellular ferroptosis by downregulating the oncogenic gene NQO1,thereby exerting anti-CRC effects.
