Objective: To explore the plasma metabonomic characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome. Methods: One hundred and three patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome were enrolled from November 2023 to February 2024 in the First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine and 54 healthy individuals were recruited. The general data of the two groups were analyzed, and the plasma metabolite content was detected using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry. Construct an orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis model to screen metabolites with significant intergroup changes. The variable importance in projection≥ 1, |log2FC|>1, and P<0.05 were used as the criteria for the screening of differential metabolites. Annotate differential metabolites using internal databases and the human metabolome database, and perform pathway analysis using MetaboAnalyst website. Results: There was no statistically significant difference in gender and age between the two groups.Seventeen potential differential metabolites were identified. The D-4′-phosphopantothenate, 2, 6-dichloroindophenol, 4-methylphenol, hypoxanthine, 11, 12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acids, oleamide, 3-phenyllactic acid contents were higher in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome than in healthy individuals(P<0.05); 3-anisic acid, 3-iodo-octadecanoic acid, mebendazole, β-alanine, citric acid, trans-aconitic acid, geranyl diphosphate, lysophosphatidylcholine(18∶2), phosphatidylethanolamine(18∶1), and caprolactam contents were lower in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome than in healthy individuals(P<0.05). Ten metabolic pathways were identified, including the key metabolic pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathways. Conclusion Metabolic differences were observed between patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and turbid toxin accumulation syndrome and healthy individuals, and the underlying mechanism may involve the pantothenate and coenzyme A biosynthesis pathways, jointly mediated by D-4′-phosphopantothenate and β-alanine.

With the widespread implementation of immunoprophylaxis strategies, the primary challenge in HBV infection prevention and control in China has shifted to reducing the burden of existing infections. A crucial approach to decreasing the burden of existing infections is to develop the effective treatment methods to achieve clinical or functional cures within a limited treatment duration for infected patients. The existing infections can be divided into two parts: those that are easy to cure and those that are difficult to treat. Patients who meet the current drug withdrawal criteria and at the same time have HBsAg<100 IU/mL following treatment with nucelos(t)ide analogue therapy are the easier one to treat, accounting for about 12% of the total infections, and the remaining 88% are difficult to cure. A necessary step toward clinical cure is pushing the HBsAg levels of patients to <100 IU/mL, but this driving effect must stem from effective immune reconstitution against HBV. Recent prevention and control, certain characteristics and implementation of clinical cure, and the safe drug withdrawal are discussed here to offer new perspectives on issues related to hepatitis B.

Objective:To explore the effect and safety profile of psycho-cardiology model combined with phased re-habilitation exercise on psychological state,cardiac function,sleep quality,cognitive function and quality of life of patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods:This ran-domized controlled study enrolled 150 CHD patients with anxiety and sleep disorder who underwent PCI in the Psy-cho-cardiology Medical Center of Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University between January 2023 and April 2023.Patients were randomly divided into control group(n=75)and intervention group(n=75).Patients in the control group received routine management mode intervention after PCI,comparing to those in the intervention group receiving psycho-cardiology model combined with phased rehabilitation exercise intervention after PCI.Both groups were intervened for 2 months and followed up for 6 months.Mental state,heart function,sleep quality,cog-nitive function,quality of life and incidence of adverse events were compared between two groups.Results:Com-pared to those in control group,patients in intervention group had significant lower scores of generalized anxiety dis-order-7(GAD-7)[(5.16±1.19)points vs.(7.53±1.68)points],patient health questionaire-9(PHQ-9)[(7.63±1.03)points vs.(10.41±1.54)points],Athens insomnia scale(AIS)[(3.69±1.35)points vs.(6.43±2.11)points]and left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDd)[(44.50±2.86)mm vs.(54.11±3.46)mm](P＜0.001 all),and significant higher left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)[(60.06±3.05)％vs.(53.90±3.05)％],scores of Seattle angina questionnaire(SAQ)[(83.31±6.59)points vs.(52.75±5.66)points]and mini-mental state examination(MMSE)[(26.44±4.68)points vs.(23.23±4.01)points](P＜0.001 all).We detec-ted significant lower incidence of adverse events in intervention group compared to control group(4.29％vs.16.44％,P=0.018).Conclusion:Psycho-cardiology model combined with phased rehabilitation exercise may im-prove psychological state,heart function,sleep quality,cognitive function and quality of life in CHD patients with anxiety and sleep disorder after PCI with considerable safety.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasonography in ischiofemoral impinge-ment syndrome(IFI).Methods Fifty-six patients who underwent hip MRI with confirmed IFI diagnosis and completed ultrasonography examinations were enrolled as the IFI group,including 44 females and 12 males.Twenty healthy volunteers were concurrently recruited as the control group,consisting of 10 females and 10 males.The control group underwent ultrasonography examinations of bilateral hip joints,whiletheischialfemoralspace(IFS)andquadratusfemoristhickness(QFT)of both groups were measured and recorded.Then measurements were compared within(by laterality and gender)and between the two groups using independent-samples t-tests.Moreover,receiver operating characteristic adults,males exhibited significantly higher IFS and QFT values than females(P<0.05).Within the IFI group,males with affected hips had significantly higher IFS than females(P<0.05),while no sig-nificant differences were observed in QFT between different genders(P>0.05).Moreover,affected hips in the IFI group showed significantly narrower IFS and thicker QFT compared to both contralateral hips and the control group(P<0.001).In addition,the diagnostic cut-off values of IFS and QFT for ultrasound diagnosis of IFI were 22.93 mm and 16.48 mm,respectively.At these thresholds,the ar-eas under the curve(AUC)were 0.997 and 0.977,with sensitivities of 97.8%and 91.8%,and speci-ficities of 98.4%and 97.8%,respectively.Conclusion Ultrasound can serve as a reliable diagnostic technique for IFI,where narrowing of the IFS and thickening of the QFT should raise suspicion of this condition.

Along with the change in lifestyle and diet, diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia has been a major risk and death factor for cardiovascular disease with the increasing incidence of diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia year by year. In order to promote and make full use of unique characteristics and advantages of TCM, the guidance writing group adopted the pattern of combination with disease and syndrome to make a standardized approach to diagnosis and treatment based on emphasis on diagnosis and treatment. Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus with Hyperlipidemia Combined with Disease and Syndrome (hereinafter referred to as " the Guideline") was published in the World Chinese Medicine in August, 2021. Based on the pattern of combination with disease and syndrome, the Guideline highlights the significant characteristics, such as: precise diagnosis and treatment by combined with disease and syndrome, updating criteria, rehabilitation diet therapy and exercise and following the principles which include but not limited to evidence-based medicine. According to the evidence of evidence-based medicine and expert consensus, the Guideline gives recommendations for diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia. In the article, the main contents and characteristics of the new guideline were interpreted in order to provide concise and practical guidance for clinicians and promote the clinical popularization and application of the Guideline.

ObjectiveTo assess the clinical efficacy and regulation of skin microbiota in children with atopic dermatitis and damp-heat accumulation syndrome treated by Zhaqu Xiaofeng Powder （楂曲消风散， ZXP）. MethodsNinety children were randomized into a treatment group and a control group， each with 45 children. The treatment group received ZXP orally， while the control group received levocetirizine hydrochloride syrup， both for 4 weeks. The atopic dermatitis severity index （SCORAD）score， visual analog scale （VAS）score for itching， children dermatology life quality index （CDLQI）score， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome score were assessed before and after 2- and 4-week treatment. Simultaneously， adhering to the principles of sample size in microbial sequencing， 25 children were randomly selected from each group （total 50 children）； skin samples were collected before and after treatment， and skin specimen DNA was extracted for 16S rRNA gene amplifier sequencing； the skin microbiota levels were detected， and the distribution of bacteria， diversity of flora， and differences between groups were compared. ResultsThere were five drop-outs in each group， and 40 cases in each group were included in final analysis. After 2- and 4-week treatment， both groups showed a significant reduction in SCORAD scores， VAS scores， and CDLQI scores， and more reductions were shown after 4-week treatment than 2-week treatment （P＜0.01）. The SCORAD score， VAS score， and CDLQI score of the treatment group were significantly lower than those in the control group after 4-week treatment （P＜0.01）. The scores of upset， thirsty， poor appetite， short red urine， and dry stool were reduced in the treatment group （P＜0.05）， while the scores of thirsty， poor appetite， short and red urine decreased after treatment （P＜0.05）. After 4 weeks of treatment， among the differential genera with abundances ＞0.5% in the treatment group， The cumulative relative abundances of Staphylococcus aureus， Streptococcus_mitis， Escherichia coli and Gemella_haemolysans in the treatment group were downregulated after treatment； in the control group， there was a relative cumulative decrease in the abundance of Streptococcus_mitis. The control group had reduced relative abundance of Streptococcus_mitis， Escherichia coli， Staphylococcus aureus and Gemella_haemolysans， after treatment （P＜0.05）. Alpha diversity analysis revealed an increase in both Chaol index and Shannon index after treatment （P＜0.05）， while there was no significant difference in Chaol index and Shannon index in the control group before and after treatment （P＞0.05）. Higher Chaol index and Shannon index were found in the treatment group （P＜0.05）. Beta diversity analysis showed that there were significant differences in the microbial community structure at the lesion site between the treatment group and the control group before treatment. The microbial community structure in the treatment group was similar after treatment， while there was no significant change in the microbial community structure in the control group before and after treatment. There were significant structure differences of key bacteria genus in both groups before and after treatment. ConclusionZXP used in the treatment of pediatric atopic dermatitis （AD）with the syndrome of damp-heat accumulation， has shown efficacy in reducing the severity of skin lesions， alleviating itching， and enhancing the quality of life in children. This modulation aims to decrease the abundance of pathogenic bacteria while promoting the colonization of beneficial bacteria， thereby altering the skin microbiota and contributing to the treatment of pediatric AD.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Wutou Chishizhi Wan on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury （MIRI） in rats， and observe its effect on such mechanisms as coagulation function， vascular endothelial cells and oxidative stress in rats. Method:A total of 40 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， positive drug group （Urokinase group） and Wutou Chishizhi Wan group， with 10 rats in each group. Except for the normal group， rat myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury models were established. The changes of heart rate （HR） at 10 min before ischemia， 30 min after ischemia and 30， 60， 120 min （T₀，T₁，T₂，T₃，T₄）， and the change of electrocardiogram （ECG） J point after modeling in rats were observed. The pathological changes of rat myocardial tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The changes of four indexes of coagulation ［prothrombin time （PT）， activated partial thromboplastin time （APTT）， thrombin time （TT）， fibrinogen content decreased significantly （FIB）］ in rats were observed. The contents of endothelin-1 （ET-1）， thromboxane A₂ （TXA₂） and prostacyclin （PGI₂） in serum and myocardium levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， malondialdehyde （MDA） and glutathione peroxidase （GSH-Px） of MIRI rats were observed. Western blot assay was used for the detection of oxidative stress protein Keap1 and transcription factor-E2-related factor （Nrf2） expression levels in rat myocardial tissue. Result:Compared with the normal group， the ECG of MIRI rats showed significant myocardial ischemic injury-like changes， ST segment was significantly elevated， J point was significantly increased， and the incidences of HR in T₁， T₂， T₃ and T₄ were significantly reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， Wutou Chishizhi Wan significantly reduced ECG J-point changes in MIRI rats， while increased the incidence of HR in T₁， T₂， T₃ and T₄ （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the normal group， PT， APTT and TT in the model group were significantly shortened （P<0.01）， FIB content was significantly increased （P<0.01）， and the serum PGI₂ level decreased and TXA₂ and ET-1 levels increased significantly in the model group （P<0.01）. SOD content and GSH-Px activities of myocardial tissue in the model group were significantly reduced （P<0.01）， whereas the MDA content was increased （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， PT of the Wutou Chishizhi Wan group was prolonged （P<0.05） and APTT slightly prolonged， TT significantly prolonged （P<0.01）， FIB content decreased （P<0.05）， serum PGI₂ increased （P<0.05）， TXA₂ and ET-1 decreased significantly in the Wutou Chishizhi Wan group （P<0.01）， myocardial MDA content decreased， and SOD content and GSP-Px activity increased significantly （P<0.01）. Meanwhile， the Wutou Chishizhi Wan group was able to activate the Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway， which significantly increased Nrf2 expression and significantly decreased Keap1 expression （P<0.01）. Conclusion:Wutou Chishizhi Wan group can protect myocardial injury in MIRI rats. The specific mechanism is to protect MIRI by regulating vascular endothelial cell homeostasis and oxidative stress levels and activating Keap1/Nrf2 signaling pathway.
