ObjectiveTo systematically quantify the multidimensional effect of virtual reality-based exergaming (VREG) on health outcomes among individuals with cognitive impairment under the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). MethodsMeta-analysis was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA statement. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP were researched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating VREG for cognitive impairment, with the search deadline set on February 1, 2026. The Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool was adopted to evaluate the methodological quality of included studies. A three-level meta-analytic model was implemented with R 4.4.2. The GRADE framework was further used to rate the certainty of pooled evidence. ResultsA total of 22 RCTs were included. VREG might improve global cognitive function (SMD = 0.69, 95%CI 0.11 to 1.28, P = 0.022), memory (SMD = 0.47, 95%CI 0.07 to 0.87, P = 0.023), attention (SMD = 0.62, 95%CI 0.23 to 1.01, P = 0.004), executive function (SMD = 0.42, 95%CI 0.09 to 0.75, P = 0.013), balance (SMD = 0.54, 95%CI 0.07 to 1.00, P = 0.027), muscle strength (SMD = 0.63, 95%CI 0.37 to 0.88, P = 0.001), mobility (SMD = 0.29, 95%CI 0.04 to 0.54, P = 0.024) and quality of life (SMD = 0.29, 95%CI 0.03 to 0.56, P = 0.029). No significant effect was observed for depressive symptoms, comprehensive physical fitness and fall risk (all P > 0.05). Subgroup and meta-regression analyses indicated that session duration < 45 minutes produced the largest improvement in attention (SMD = 0.95, 95%CI 0.55 to 1.34, P < 0.001); intervention cycles of twelve to 24 weeks were optimal for mobility (SMD = 0.85, 95%CI 0.44 to 1.25, P < 0.001); age negatively correlated to balance improvement (β = -0.11, 95%CI -0.20 to -0.02, P = 0.020), suggesting less intervention benefits among older participants. ConclusionVREG is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to improve multidimensional physical and mental health in people with cognitive impairment. Protocols featuring short single sessions with long-term duration should be prioritized.

This report described a case of eclampsia complicated by hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome with refractory hepatic impairment. The patient presented at 34 +6 weeks' gestation with convulsions and impaired consciousness for over 3 hours, accompanied by severe hypertension [240/120 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa)]. Emergency cesarean delivery was performed at a local hospital. On postoperative day 2, the patient was transferred to our institution due to sharp transaminase elevation, hepatic failure, and coagulopathy. Although treated with artificial liver support, anti-infection therapy, and organ protection measures, hepatic parameters showed intermittent rebounds. Subsequent detection of cytomegalovirus in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and blood prompted targeted antiviral therapy, which significantly improved hepatic injury. Through multidisciplinary management, the patient recovered and was discharged 43 days postpartum. Although multiple artificial liver sessions provided limited hepatic function improvement, this case offers valuable insights for managing refractory hepatic impairment in pregnant women, regardless of whether viral infection represented a primary etiology or secondary complication.

Objective:To investigate the combined therapeutic role of the AKT inhibitor MK2206 and Ruxolitinib in treating Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPN) driven by a calreticulin (CALR) gene mutation.Methods:① Murine bone marrow c-kit + cells were isolated by sacrificing mice and harvesting bone marrow from the femur, tibia, and ilium for subsequent c-kit + cell sorting. ② A CALR transplantation mouse model was established. GFP-tagged retroviral vectors containing either the CALR gene mutation or the migR1 control were constructed, packaged in Platinum-E cells, and used to transduce murine bone marrow c-kit + cells. These transduced cells were then transplanted into lethally irradiated female recipient mice via tail vein injection. ③ Following successful engraftment, the mice were randomly assigned to four treatment groups for intragastric administration. Complete blood counts were monitored periodically, and the spleen size and weight of transplanted mice were measured. ④ Flow cytometry was used to quantify the proportions of GFP + tumor cells, megakaryocytic lineage cells, and hematopoietic stem cells in both splenic and bone marrow tissues. Histopathological examination was performed to evaluate the degree of tumor cell infiltration in these organs. Results:① Following gavage treatment, peripheral blood platelet (PLT) and white blood cell counts were significantly lower in the combined AKT inhibitor MK2206 and Ruxolitinib group compared to the MK2206, Ruxolitinib, and control groups ( P<0.05). ② In comparison with the MK2206 and Ruxolitinib monotherapy groups, the combination therapy group exhibited a significant reduction in spleen weight and a marked improvement in splenomegaly at 30 weeks post-transplantation ( P<0.05). ③ After four weeks of continuous treatment, combined administration resulted in a significant decrease in the proportion of megakaryocytic lineage cells and GFP + tumor cells in the bone marrow and spleen ( P<0.05). Additionally, the proportion of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow was also significantly reduced ( P<0.05). ④ Histopathological analysis (H&E staining) of bone marrow and spleen tissues confirmed that the combined regimen decreased both tumor cell infiltration and the proportion of abnormal megakaryocytes in these organs. Conclusion:The combination of AKT inhibitor MK2206 and Ruxolitinib is effective at significantly ameliorating disease symptoms and reducing tumor infiltration in vivo in mice with a myeloproliferative tumor transplantation driven by a CALR gene mutation.

Allergic rhinitis is a common allergic disease in children.Its pathogenesis is complex and it is difficult to achieve radi-cal cure or effective and stable long-term treatment goals.Chinese medicine has obvious advantages in preventing and treating allergic rhinitis in children due to its wide range of targets,long-lasting effects and few adverse reactions.This paper proposes that the onset of allergic rhinitis is mostly caused by the dysfunction of the lung,spleen and kidney,the external wind triggering the latent wind,and the combination of the two winds.A staged prevention and treatment strategy of Chinese medicine should be adopted,which includes dispersing external wind,suppressing latent wind,and promoting lung-qi and clearing nasal orifice during the attack period to treat its symptoms,and preventing external wind,calming down latent wind,and regulating and tonifying the lung,spleen,and kidney during the remission period to treat its root cause;meanwhile,attention should be paid to avoiding the adverse effects of congenital endowment factors and the induction of acquired environmental factors,strengthening the body's health to protect against the evil wind,preventing the transformation of existing diseases and the recurrence of allergic rhinitis in children at all stages.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of Ruyi Zhenbaowan（RYZBW）in the treatment of initial and early knee osteoarthritis （KOA） through a prospective multicenter，randomized，double-blind，and placebo-parallel controlled trial. MethodFrom October 13^th， 2021 to December 25^th， 2021， 240 KOA subjects meeting the acceptance criteria were enrolled in 15 sub-centers including Wangjing Hospital， Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences， and they were randomly divided into observation group and control group， with 120 cases in each group. The intervention measures for the observation group were RYZBW + health education， and the intervention measures for the control group were RYZBW placebo + health education. The intervention period in both groups was four weeks， and they were followed up for four weeks after the intervention. The primary outcome measure was the total score of Western Ontario and McMaster University Osteoarthritis Index score （WOMAC score）， and the secondary outcome measures were the response rate of visual scale （VAS） pain score， WOMAC sub item scores （joint pain， joint stiffness， and joint function）， quality of life （SF-12） score， and traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） syndrome score. Result（1） Efficacy evaluation. The marginal model results showed that the observation group was better than the control group in improving the WOMAC total score and WOMAC pain score in the treatment of KOA with RYZBW， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. There was no significant difference between the two groups in improving VAS score response rate， WOMAC function score， WOMAC stiffness score， SF12-PCS （quality of life-physical health） score， SF12-MCS （quality of life-mental health） score， and TCM syndrome score. （2） Subgroup analysis. ① In terms of VAS score response rate， the response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group for subjects with baseline VAS score of （4， 5］， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. ② In terms of TCM syndrome score， for subjects aged ［56， 60］ and ［61， 65］， the decrease in total TCM syndrome score in the observation group was better than that in the control group， and the difference was statistically significant （P<0.05）. ConclusionTibetan medicine RYZBW has good clinical efficacy in improving WOMAC total score， VAS score response rate， WOMAC pain score， WOMAC function score， and TCM syndrome score for patients with initial and early KOA， which can fill the lack of Tibetan medicine RYZBW in the treatment of KOA and make a demonstration study for the inheritance and development of ethnic medicine.

This paper summarized professor WANG Shouchuan's experience in differentiating and treating children epistaxis from the perspective of "four excess and three deficiency". It is believed that the pathogenesis of children epistaxis is concluded as "four excess and three deficiency"， of which the four excess syndromes are exuberant heat in the lung channel， intense stomach fire， heart fire hyperactivity， and liver fire flaming upward， while the three deficiency syndromes include qi， yin and yang deficiency. Seven methods for treating children epistaxis are summarized. For exuberant heat in the lung channel syndrome， it is recommended to clear lung and direct qi downward， using self-made Xiebai Zhiniu Decoction （泻白止衄汤）. For intense stomach fire syndrome， the method of clearing stomach and draining fire can be used with self-made Qingwei Zhiniu Decoction （清胃止衄汤）. In terms of heart fire hyperactivity syndrome， it is better to clear heart and drain fire， using self-made Daochi Zhiniu Decoction （导赤止衄汤）. For liver fire flaming upward syndrome， it is advised to clear liver and drain fire， using self-made Yimu Zhiniu Decoction （抑木止衄汤）. In terms of qi deficiency syndrome， the method of fortifying spleen and boosting qi and containing blood should be used with self-made Futu Zhiniu Decoction （扶土止衄汤）. If there is yin deficiency syndrome， it is advised to supplement kidney， enrich yin and clear heat， using self-made Zishui Zhiniu Decoction （滋水止衄汤）. If there is yang deficiency syndrome， the method of boosting qi， warming yang and nourishing blood can be used， using self-made Wenpi Zhiniu Decoction （温脾止衄汤）.
