This paper explores the differentiation and treatment strategies for pediatric IgA vasculitis based on the correlation between blood trubidity theory and oxidative stress. It is proposed that pediatric IgA vasculitis follows an evolution of pathogenesis characterized by "deficiency of healthy qi leading to turbidity generation， accumulation of turbid toxin， and toxin damage to the collateral vessels"， which corresponds to the pathological process of oxidative stress， namely decreased antioxidant capacity with accumulation of reactive oxygen species， metabolite deposition， and endothelial cell injury. A staged treatment strategy is proposed. In the acute stage， wind-toxin invading the colla-terals and reckless movement of heat in the blood are the main manifestations， for which the treatment should focus on dispelling wind and venting pathogens， resolving toxins and unblocking the collaterals， with a modified Yinqiao Powder （银翘散） and Xijiao Dihuang Decoction （犀角地黄汤） to regulate oxidative stress burst. In the prolonged stage， intermingling of turbidity and stasis with collateral obstruction is emphasized； treatment should focus on resolving turbidity and dispelling stasis， harmonizing the blood and stabilizing the collaterals， and a modified Simiao Powder （四妙散） and Taohong Siwu Decoction （桃红四物汤） can be used to improve microcirculatory dysfunction. In the remission stage， when healthy qi remains insufficient and residual pathogens persist， treatment should focus on strengthening the root and clearing the source， reinforcing healthy qi and nourishing the collaterals， for which modified Zhibai Dihuang Pill （知柏地黄丸） and Yupingfeng Powder （玉屏风散） is suggested to rebuild the antioxidant defense system.

Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease （MAFLD） has become one of the most prevalent chronic liver diseases worldwide， posing a serious challenge to public health. In this context， the integration of artificial intelligence （AI）， especially intelligent diagnosis and treatment and digital health interventions based on machine learning， can break through the limitations of traditional methods， realize efficient screening of multi-dimensional data such as key genes， biomarkers， and biochemical metabolites， and achieve revolutionary breakthroughs in risk prediction， subtype identification， and therapeutic effect assessment for MAFLD. This article systematically reviews the ground-breaking application of machine learning models in driving the innovation of clinical diagnosis and precise risk prediction of MAFLD， conducts a comprehensive comparative analysis of digital health practice cases of MAFLD in China and globally， and deeply analyzes their advantages and limitations in terms of research subjects， interventions， and management team. Studies have shown that the deep integration of digital health and long-term management of MAFLD is becoming the key engine driving the transformation of disease management modes towards an intelligent， individualized， and precise era， but there are various ethical and technical issues that need to be addressed urgently.

As one of the common systemic vasculitides in children， IgA vasculitis is closely associated with the interaction of "Wind pathogen" and "turbid stasis" in its pathogenesis. Based on the blood turbidity theory， this paper proposes "wind agitating blood turbidity and collateral damage" as the core pathogenesis. Regarding treatment， the sequential therapeutic principle of "stanch bleeding， activating blood circulation， and nourishing blood" is adopted， and combined with the dynamic application of wind-dispelling medicinals to "expel， search， and guard against wind"， turbidity-removing method is applied throughout all stages. In the acute stage，it is recommended to clear heat and purify turbidity， stanch bleeding and secure the collaterals. In the prolonged stage， the method of dissipating stasis and clearing up turbidity should be used， as well as activating blood circulation and unblocking the collaterals. In the recovery stage， it is advised to nourish blood to flourish the collaterals， reinforce healthy qi and resolve turbidity. This therapeutic system integrates the elimination of pathogens and the reinforcement of healthy qi to clear and resolve blood turbidity， ultimately achieving holistic collateral repair through securing， unblocking， and nourishing the collaterals， which provides new insights into the treatment of this disease in traditional Chinese medicine.

ObjectiveTo systematically investigate the medication rules of chicken-derived medicinals for treating children enuresis in ancient Chinese medical classicals. MethodsThe China Medical Classics V5.0 database was searched to identify formulas and passages containing chicken-derived medicinals for pediatric enuresis. A database was established using Microsoft Excel 2021 to extract information including formulas， therapeutic categories， natures， flavors， channel entry， processing methods， dosage forms， and administration methods. Frequency analysis was performed， while association rule analysis and cluster analysis were conducted using R software. Gephi 0.10.1 software was used for complex network analysis. ResultsA total of 171 records were included， comprising 36 single-herb formulas and 135 compound formulas， sourced from 64 classical medical monographs. The identified chicken-derived medicinals included jichang （Intestinum Galli）， jineijin （Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli）， jigan （Gallina Hepar）， jishibai （Faeces Galli Albi）， jisu （Ingluvies Galli）， jiheling （Pluma Alae Galli）， and jiweimao （Chicken tail feathers）. The top three frequently used single herbs were jichang （17 times）， jineijin （8 times）， and jiheling （5 times）. Among compound prescriptions， the three most frequently recorded formulas were Jineijin Powder （鸡内金散， 43 times）， Jichang Powder （鸡肠散， 25 times）， and Guigan Pills （桂肝丸， 24 times）， with jineijin， jichang， and jigan being the predominant chicken-derived medicinals. When converting the daily dosage of chicken-derived medicines into modern dosage units， the dose ranged from 0.53 g to 33.57 g for jineijin， with 4.48 g being the most frequently used dose， and from 0.25 g to 30.00 g for jichang， with 17.90 g being the most frequently used dose. Chicken-derived medicinals were mostly used after processing， commonly employing burning （68 times）， roasting/ stir-baking （37 times）， and calcining （24 times） to preserve properties. Powders （117 times）， pills （45 times）， and decoctions （9 times） were the principal dosage forms， and administration with wine （70 times） was the most common method. The most frequently used herbal pair was jineijin and roucongrong （Herba Cistanches）， while the core prescription combinations were Tusizi Powder （菟丝子散）， Yangshi Jichang Powder （杨氏鸡肠散）， and Rongxiang Pill （茸香丸）. ConclusionChicken-derived medicinals ， such as jichang and jineijin， are commonly processed by burning or roasting before use in the treatment of enuresis. They are often combined with longgu （Fossilia Ossis Mastodi）， muli （Concha Ostreae）， sangpiaoxiao （Oötheca Mantidis）， roucongrong and rougui （Cortex Cinnamomi） to warm and tonify the kidney qi， arrest enuresis and emission with astringents. Pills and powders are the predominant dosage forms and are commonly administered before meals with wine or salted water.

Based on the viewpoint of "sweat pore-qi and liquid-kidney collaterals"， it is believed that children's nephrotic syndrome is caused by the core mechanism of sweat pore constraint and closure， qi and liquid imbalance， and kidney collaterals impairment， and it is proposed that the treatment principle is to nourish the sweat pore， regulate qi and fluid， and supplement the kidney and unblock the collaterals. In clinic， guided by sequential therapy and according to the different disease mechanism characteristics of the four stages， including early stage of the disease， hormone induction stage， hormone reduction stage， hormone maintenance stage， the staged dynamic identification and treatment was applied. For early stage of the disease with edema due to yang deficiency， modified Zhenwu Decoction （真武汤） was applied to warm yang and drain water； for hormone induction stage with yin deficiency resulting in effulgent fire， modified Zhibai Dihuang Pill （知柏地黄丸） plus Erzhi Pill （二至丸） was used to enrich yin and reduce fire； for hormone reduction stage with qi and yin deficiency， modified Shenqi Dihuang Decoction （参芪地黄汤） was used to boost qi and nourish yin； for hormone maintenance stage， modified Shenqi Pill （肾气丸） was used to supplement yin and yang. Meanwhile， the treatment also attaches importance to the combination of vine-based or worm medicinals to dredge collaterals， so as to providing ideas for clinical treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the potential mechanism of Liangxue Tuizi Formula （凉血退紫方， LXTZF） in treating Henoch-Schönlein Purpura （HSP） by examining its regulatory effect on neutrophil extracellular trap （NETs） dysregulation via the rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma kinase （RAF）/mitogen-activated protein kinase （MEK）/extracellular signal-regulated kinase （ERK） signaling pathway. MethodsSeventy Wistar rats were randomly allocated into a blank control group （n=14） and a modeling group （n=56）. Rats in the modelling group underwent an eight-week modelling period to establish HSP rat models with blood-heat syndrome via modified ovalbumin （OVA） induction method combined with oral administration of heat-property Chinese herbal medicine. Fifty successfully modeled rats were subsequently randomly divided into five groups （n=10 per group）， model group， compound glycyrrhizin group， LXTZF group， RAF inhibitor group， and LXTZF + RAF agonist group. Additionally， 10 rats were selected from the original blank control group for the final experiment. From the 11th week of modelling， rats in the blank control group and the model group received 1 ml/（100 g·d） ultrapure water via oral administration， in addition to 0.5 ml/（kg·d） 0.9% sodium chloride solution via intraperitoneal injection. The LXTZF group and the compound glycyrrhizin group received 7.5 g/（kg·d） LXTZF granule suspension via gavage， 13.5 mg/（kg·d） compound glycyrrhizin suspension via gavage， respectively. The RAF inhibitor group received 1 mg/（kg·d） GW5074 suspension via intraperitoneal injection and ultrapure water via oral administration； the LXTZF + RAF agonist group received 7.5 g/（kg·d） LXTZF granule suspension via gavage and 1 mg/（kg·d） paclitaxel suspension via intraperitoneal injection. All administrations were performed once daily for 4 weeks. After intervention， skin tissue histopathology was examined by hematoxylin and eosin （H&E） staining， immunoglobulin A （IgA） deposition was assessed via immunofluorescence， serum levels of neutrophil elastase （NE）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 （VCAM-1） were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）， serum myeloperoxidase （MPO） level was determined by a colorimetric assay； the mRNA expression levels of RAF， MEK， and ERK in skin tissue were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （RT-qPCR）； and the protein expression of RAF， MEK， ERK， as well as phosphorylated MEK （p-MEK） and phosphorylated ERK （p-ERK）， were analyzed by Western Blot. ResultsSkin tissue in the blank control group rats remained normal， whereas the model group exhibited neutrophil infiltration and haemorrhage with red blood cell rupture. In all drug intervention groups， neutrophil infiltration and haemorrhagic exudation reduced markedly， with LXTZF group demonstrating the most pronounced improvement. Compared with the blank control group， rats in the model group exhibited enhanced IgA fluorescence intensity in skin tissue， elevated serum levels of NE， MPO， TNF-α and VCAM-1， increased mRNA expression of RAF， MEK， ERK1 and ERK2， as well as heightened RAF protein levels and p-MEK/MEK and p-ERK/ERK ratios （P＜0.05）. Compared with the model group， the drug intervention groups exhibited reduced IgA fluorescence intensity in skin tissue， along with decreased serum levels of NE， MPO， TNF-α， and VCAM-1 （P＜0.05）. In LXTZF group and RAF inhibition groups， reduced mRNA expression of RAF， MEK， ERK1， and ERK2 was observed in rat skin tissue， alongside decreased RAF protein levels and reduced p-MEK/MEK and p-ERK/ERK ratios （P＜0.05）. Compared with LXTZF + RAF agonist group， the compound glycyrrhizin group， LXTZF group， and RAF inhibitior group exhibited reduced IgA fluorescence intensity in skin tissue， decreased serum NE， MPO， TNF-α， and VCAM-1 levels， and decreased MEK mRNA expression and p-MEK/MEK ratio （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe potential mechanism by which LXTZF treats Henoch-Schönlein purpura with blood heat syndrome may involve blocking the RAF/MEK/ERK signaling pathway in skin tissue， and suppressing excessive formation of NETs， thereby reducing IgA deposition in dermal microvessels and attenuating systemic inflammatory responses.

Ovulatory dysfunction (OD) is one of the main causes of infertility in women of childbearing age, which not only affects their reproductive ability, but also physical and mental health. Traditional treatment strategies have limited efficacies, and the emergence of biomedicines provides a promising alternative solution via the strategies of combining engineered design with modern advanced technology. This review explores the pathophysiological characteristics and related induction mechanisms of OD, and evaluates the current cutting-edge advances in its treatments. It emphasizes the potentials of biomedicines strategies such as hydrogels, nanoparticles and extracellular vesicles in improving therapeutic precision and efficacy. By mimicking natural physiological processes, and achieving controlled drug release, these advanced drug carriers are expected to address the challenges in ovarian microenvironment reprogramming, tissue repair, and metabolic and immune regulation. Despite the promising progress, there are still challenges in terms of biomedical complexity, differences between animal models and human physiology, and the demand for intelligent drug carriers in the therapy of OD. Future researches are mainly dedicated to developing precise personalized biomedicines in OD therapy through interdisciplinary collaboration, promoting the development of reproductive regenerative medicine.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) signal strength ratio (SIR) in onset time≤4.5 h in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed; 180 acute ischemic stroke patients admitted to Department of Neurology, Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University from January 2020 to June 2023 were chosen. Hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR) was used to evaluate the collateral circulation (poor collateral circulation: HIR≤0.4; good collateral circulation: HIR>0.4); clinical data and imaging indexes between poor collateral circulation and good collateral circulation groups were compared. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regressions were used to analyze the influencing factors for onset time≤4.5 h in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Correlation between SIR and onset time was analyzed in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Role of HIR as agency between SIR and onset time was explored. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the predictive efficacy of SIR and diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)-FLAIR mismatch in onset time≤4.5 h in acute ischemic stroke patients.Results:Of the 180 patients, 100 were into the good collateral circulation group and 80 were into the poor collateral circulation group; compared with the good collateral circulation group, the poor collateral circulation group had significantly higher percentage of patients with hyperlipidemia, larger DWI infarction volume before treatment, larger perfusion weighted imaging (PWI)-DWI mismatch volume and higher SIR ( P<0.05). In these 180 patients, 76 had onset time≤4.5 h and 104 had onset time>4.5 h. Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia, DWI infarct volume before treatment, DWI-FLAIR mismatch, HIR and SIR were influencing factors for onset time≤4.5 h in acute ischemic stroke patients ( P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia ( OR=6.654, 95% CI: 5.751-8.824, P<0.001), HIR ( OR=0.724, 95% CI: 0.521-1.321, P=0.041) and SIR ( OR=739.881, 95% CI: 383.296-14 258.065, P<0.001) were independent influencing factors for onset time≤4.5 h in acute ischemic stroke patients. Pearson correlation analysis showed that SIR was positively correlated to onset time in patients with acute ischemic stroke ( r=0.420, P<0.05), and SIR was positively correlated to onset time in patients from poor collateral circulation group ( r=0.781, P<0.05). ROC curve showed that AUC of SIR in predicting onset time≤4.5 h was 0.917 (95% CI: 0.814-1.000, P<0.001) and that of DWI-FLAIR mismatch in predicting onset time≤4.5 h was 0.530 (95% CI: 0.509-0.757, P=0.075) in poor collateral circulation group, enjoying significant difference in predictive efficacy. Conclusion:Acute ischemic stroke patients with low HIR and SIR have higher odds of onset time≤4.5 h; SIR can more accurately predict the onset time in these patients with poor collateral circulation.

Objective:To investigate the application status of emergency radiology in China, and to provide data support for the standardized development, scientific management and big data research of emergency radiology.Methods:From August 12th to October 19th, 2022, a questionnaire survey was conducted through WeChat"Questionnaire Star"to send targeted questionnaires to investigate the relevant data of the current status of emergency radiology in China, mainly including digital radiography (DR) and computed tomography (CT). This study was initiated by the Chinese Emergency Radiology Database Collaboration Group, and comprehensively investigated emergency imaging personnel, equipment, workload, critical value reporting process, and artificial intelligence (AI) application status.Results:There were 123 hospitals in the study. The survey showed that emergency DR/CT reports were mainly completed by residents and above (69.1%). There were 21 DR brands, 10 CT brands and 8 MR brands used for emergency imaging examinations. The median number of DR examinations in tertiary hospitals and secondary hospitals investigated from January to June 2022 was 4 642 and 2 015 cases respectively, and the median number of CT examinations was 16 512 and 3 762 cases respectively. The average single-shift workload of DR in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift in tertiary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies and 21-50 copies, and the average single-shift workload of CT in the emergency radiology department during the day and night shift was mainly 21-50 copies and 51-100 copies, while the average single-shift workload of DR/CT in the emergency radiology department during the day/night shift in secondary hospitals was mainly ≤20 copies. In terms of critical value reporting process, 74.8% of emergency imaging doctors and 84.6% of emergency imaging technicians took the way of phone/text message to notify the clinical doctor or the patients′ family. The overall deployment rate of AI in emergency imaging was about 60.2%. 75% of the respondents believed that in the future, AI can improve emergency radiology work from aspects such as emergency screening, aided diagnosis and process optimization.Conclusions:The emergency medical imaging mainly based on DR and CT has the current situations such as generally low seniority of doctors, diverse brands of imaging equipments, large volume of examinations and intense workload per doctor, especially in tertiary hospitals, and dependence on traditional means for critical value reporting. At present, AI is emerging in the field of emergency imaging, and there is still a long way to go to play the huge potential of AI in the intelligent whole process of emergency imaging in the future.
