Aging has emerged as a cutting edge and hotspot in global life science field， with anti-aging and geriatric disease prevention and treatment becoming critical issues urgently demanding solutions in international medical communities. In the face of the challenge of accelerating global population aging， in-depth exploration of aging mechanisms and the development of effective intervention strategies hold significant scientific and clinical value. This study supported by the national key research and development program of China， employed the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine as its guiding framework， focusing on the key scientific issue of the core traditional Chinese pathogenesis of aging， namely "depletion of kidney essence， deficiency of primordial Qi， and impairment of body and spirit". The treatment principle of "tonifying the kidney to replenish essence， harmonizing Yin and Yang， warming and invigorating primordial Qi， and nourishing the body and spirit" was established. Centered on holistic aging， systemic aging， and aging-related diseases， the research integrated multidisciplinary research approaches to construct multi-modal aging models and a multi-dimensional evaluation system， and it utilized multi-omics technologies to deeply analyze aging mechanisms. By systematically reviewing historical kidney-tonifying and anti-aging formulas and combining big data with artificial intelligence technologies， an information database of anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine substance was developed to reveal the differences and synergistic effects of various treatment methods and formulas on anti-aging. Based on this treatment method， the research integrated two millennia of kidney-tonifying medicinal experience to develop the innovative anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine， namely Bazhi Bushen capsules. It was validated that this capsule can delay holistic and systemic aging through multiple targets and mechanisms， thereby elucidating the scientific connotation of the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine in guiding anti-aging research from multiple dimensions and providing robust support for leveraging the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine to occupy the commanding heights of international anti-aging research.

Objective:To investigate the differences in the levels of inactive rhomboid protein (iRhom) 1, iRhom2, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in cervical cancer patients with different prognoses, and to analyze the predictive value of each index for patient's prognosis.Methods:A total of 90 cervical cancer patients who underwent extensive hysterectomy at the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from June 2021 to June 2023 were selected as the study objects. Using a propensity score matching method with a caliper value of 0.02, 30 cases with normal cervical biopsy results and matched general clinical data were selected as the controls. Cervical cancer patients were divided into the good prognosis group ( n=69) and the poor prognosis group ( n=21) according to the prognosis. Western blotting was used to detect the protein levels of iRhom1, iRhom2, and TNF-α in tissue samples. The differences in iRhom1, iRhom2, and TNF-α protein levels between cervical cancer tissues, adjacent tissues, normal cervical tissues, and between the good and poor prognosis groups were compared. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of prognosis in cervical cancer patients, and the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of each indicator for prognosis in cervical cancer patients. Results:The levels of iRhom1 protein in cervical cancer tissues, adjacent tissues, and normal cervical tissues were 0.80±0.11, 0.41±0.10, 0.40±0.07, respectively; those of iRhom2 were 0.81±0.12, 0.47±0.10, 0.46±0.05, respectively; and those of TNF-α were 1.15±0.12, 0.58±0.10, 0.56±0.07, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the levels of iRhom1, iRhom2, and TNF-α protein among the three groups ( F=64.93, P<0.001; F=56.14, P<0.001; F=191.61, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in the levels of iRhom1, iRhom2 and TNF-α between cervical cancer tissues and adjacent tissues and normal cervical tissues (all P<0.05). In the poor prognosis group and the good prognosis group, the levels of iRhom1 protein in cervical cancer tissues were 0.90±0.12 and 0.77±0.10, respectively; those of iRhom2 were 0.90±0.10 and 0.79±0.09, respectively; and those of TNF-α were 1.29±0.13 and 1.06±0.10, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in iRhom1, iRhom2, and TNF-α protein levels between the two groups ( t=7.31, P<0.001; t=5.35, P<0.001; t=10.30, P<0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that, iRhom1 ( OR=2.29, 95% CI: 1.77-3.71, P<0.001), iRhom2 ( OR=1.51, 95% CI: 1.10-2.71, P<0.001), and TNF-α ( OR=2.10, 95% CI: 1.90-4.44, P<0.001) were all independent influencing factors of the prognosis of cervical cancer patients. The ROC curve indicated that iRhom1 (AUC=0.88, 95% CI: 0.80-0.97), iRhom2 (AUC=0.83, 95% CI: 0.73-0.94), and TNF-α (AUC=0.80, 95% CI: 0.65-0.94) alone and in combination (AUC=0.97, 95% CI: 0.93-1.00) could predict prognosis of cervical cancer patients. Conclusions:The levels of iRhom1, iRhom2 and TNF-α proteins in cervical cancer tissues are higher than those in adjacent tissues and normal cervical tissues, and the levels of these three indexes in cervical cancer tissues with poor prognosis are significantly higher than those in cervical cancer tissues with good prognosis. The levels of iRhom1, iRhom2 and TNF-α protein are all independent factors influencing the prognosis of cervical cancer patients, and the three indicators alone or in combination can predict the prognosis of cervical cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of a spray prepared from exosomes derived from M2 macrophages induced by interleukin-4 （IL-4） and tantalum particles （Ta） on the healing of pressure ulcers. Methods Bone marrow-derived macrophages were polarized into M2 macrophages using IL-4 or Ta, and exosomes （Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta） were extracted. The regulatory effects of Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta on M1 macrophage phenotypes and fibroblast matrix secretion were evaluated in vitro. Proteomic analysis was conducted to explore the biological processes and regulatory networks associated with Exo-Ta. A rat pressure ulcer model was used to assess the effects of Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta spray on wound healing rate, inflammatory cell infiltration, and collagen deposition. Results In vitro, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta induced the polarization of M1 macrophages to M2 macrophages, reduced the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors, and promoted the expression of anti-inflammatory substances. Additionally, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta enhanced the production of collagen and fibronectin in fibroblasts. Proteomic analysis revealed that Exo-Ta primarily participated in biological processes such as energy metabolism and macromolecule biosynthesis. In vivo, Exo-IL-4/Exo-Ta spray accelerated wound healing, reduced inflammatory infiltration, and improved tissue remodeling in the rat pressure ulcer model. Conclusion Exosome sprays derived from M2 macrophages could accelerate pressure ulcer healing by modulating inflammation and promoting tissue regeneration, which demonstrated excellent clinical application potential.

ObjectiveExploring the formula rules of commonly used traditional Chinese medicines（TCMs） for epidemic treatment from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Qing dynasty through data mining， providing reference for the prevention and control of contemporary epidemics. MethodsThe articles on epidemic treatment in the electronic database of Chinese Medical Code V5.0 were systematically searched， and the contents such as source， dynasty， author， diagnosis， formula name， therapeutic method and efficacy， and composition of medicines from each article that met the inclusion criteria were extracted. Then， an Excel standardized database was established， and Python programs were used for data mining to summarize the frequency of commonly used medicines and perform hierarchical cluster analysis， Pearson correlation analysis， and association rule analysis. ResultsA total of 1 595 formulas were included， involving 558 TCMs. The efficacy of these medicines could be classified into two categories， namely， expeling pathogenic factors and reinforcing healthy Qi. According to the frequency deconstruction analysis， high-frequency medicines were mainly detoxification， Fu-organ dredging， aromatization and promoting blood circulation， followed by the medicines with the effect of treating the lungs， such as clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm， clearing heat and purging the lungs， relieving cough and asthma， and purging the lungs and relieving asthma. And the proportions of acrid-warm herbs and acrid-cold herbs varied in different periods. Hierarchical clustering and correlation analysis both suggested TCMs for expeling pathogenic factors and reinforcing healthy Qi often formed stable combinations with high association degrees. Association rule analysis showed that the core acrid-warm herb was mainly Ephedrae Herba， and the core acrid-cold herb was mainly Forsythiae Fructus， resulting in the core formulas of Maxing Shigantang and Yinqiaosan. ConclusionThroughout history， the prevention and control of epidemics have been based on the principle of "preserving healthy Qi and avoiding toxic Qi"， focusing on the treatment of the causes and characteristics of epidemics through detoxification， Fu-organ dredging， and aromatization， emphasizing the use of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and other herbs to dredge Fu-organ， eliminate toxins and pathogens， and playing the role of actively intervene with symptomatic medication. And based on the external manifestations of the body's struggle between evil and righteousness， diagnose and treatment according to syndrome differentiation was performed.

Objective:To investigate the expression levels, correlation, and diagnostic efficacy of peripheral blood CD8 +T lymphocyte subsets and different immune checkpoint markers in patients with Brucellosis. Method:A case-control study was conducted on 32 patients with acute phase brucellosis (27 males and 5 females, aged 36 (30, 43) years), 38 patients with chronic phase brucellosis (30 males and 8 females, aged 40 (32, 48) years), and 30 healthy controls (24 males and 6 females, aged 39 (32, 46) years), who underwent physical examination at Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region People′s Hospital from February 1, 2021 to December 31, 2023. All subjects had fasting blood sampling once in the morning. Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of peripheral blood lymphocyte subsets, the expression levels of CD8 +T lymphocyte surface programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1), T lymphocyte immunoglobulin receptor with Ig and ITIM domains (TIGIT), T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain containing protein 3 (TIM-3), perforin and granzyme B. The changes in these indicators during the acute and chronic phases of the disease were observed, and correlation analysis was performed using Spearman′s method. Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (ROC) analysis is used to evaluate the diagnostic value of immunological indicators with differences in acute and chronic brucellosis. Results:CD3 +T lymphocyte in the chronic group (70.71%±8.78%) is significantly lower than that in the healthy control group (74.65%±7.31%) ( P<0.05), and CD4 +T lymphocyte in the acute phase group (39.52%±5.85%) is also lower than that in the healthy control group (45.10%±5.18%) ( P<0.01); while CD8 +T lymphocyte in the acute group (31.73%±5.87%) is significantly higher than that in the chronic phase group (26.75%±4.71%) ( P<0.001). There was a statistically significant difference ( P<0.001) in CD8+CD28 -T lymphocyte among the acute group (69.85% (58.62%, 78.55%)), chronic group (86.46% (73.30%, 92.52%)) and healthy control group (25.39% (20.60%,32.90%)), when compared pairwise. The expression levels of immune checkpoint PD-1, TIGIT, and TIM-3 on the surface of CD8 +T lymphocytes were higher in both the acute and chronic groups than in the healthy control group ( P<0.001). The expression level of perforin secreted by CD8 +T lymphocytes in the acute and chronic groups was lower than that in the healthy control group ( P<0.05), while the expression level of granzyme B in the acute and chronic groups was higher than that in the healthy control group ( P<0.01). The proportion of CD8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes in brucellosis patients was positively correlated with the expression levels of TIGIT and TIM-3 ( r=0.624, 0.406, P<0.001). The ROC curve combined with the proportion of CD8 +CD28 -T lymphocytes and the proportion of TIGIT on the surface of CD8 +T lymphocytes can distinguish acute and chronic brucellosis. The Area Under Curve (AUC) is 0.973, which has certain implications for clinical differentiation of patients with acute and chronic diseases. Conclusion:The CD8 +T lymphocyte subsets in patients with brucellosis exhibit dynamic changes, accompanied by changes in relevant immune checkpoint molecules, and can regulate the activation and inhibition of the immune status of brucellosis patients. The synergistic effect of CD8 +CD28 -T cells and TIGIT/TIM-3 may be a key mechanism of driving chronicity, and their combined diagnosis can serve as a clinical staging marker.

Objective To explore the effect of life reconstruction training on anxiety and depression among individuals with chronic spinal cord injury(SCI)and their caregivers,and to analyze the influencing factors.Methods A total of 216 SCI patients and 79 caregivers who participated in life reconstruction training were recruited from the Hope House for SCI individuals in Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital from May,2017 to Octo-ber,2019.They were assessed with Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS)be-fore and after intervention.Results After intervention,the scores of SAS and SDS decreased(P<0.05)in both SCI patients and their caregivers.SAS scores were more likely to reduce in SCI patients who suffered anxiety at admission(OR=2.315,95%CI 1.328 to 4.033,P=0.003)and their caregivers(OR=3.632,95%CI 1.270 to 10.390,P=0.016),as well as non-agricultural-registered SCI patients(OR=1.908,95%CI 1.074 to 3.391,P=0.028).Being unmarried,having an injury duration≥21 years,injury due to disease,and having depression at admission significantly promoted the reduction in SDS scores among SCI patients(P<0.05).Caregivers with a junior-high-school education or less were more likely to experience reductions in scores of SAS and SDS compared with those with higher education(P<0.05).Caregivers with five to 15 years of caregiving experience achieved more anxiety reduction(OR=7.155,95%CI 1.806 to 28.342,P=0.005).Conclusion Life reconstruction training is effective on anxiety and depression among individuals with chronic SCI and their caregivers.It is recommended to prioritize anxiety interventions for patients with rural household registra-tion in China,along with depression management for the married/divorced/widowed individuals,with<21 years since injury,and trauma-induced lesions.For caregivers,it is needed to focus to anxiety and depression in better-educated individuals,as well as anxiety in those with either<5 or≥15 years of caregiving experience.
