To thoroughly implement the strategic deployment outlined in the Opinions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council on Promoting the Inheritance and Innovative Development of Traditional Chinese Medicine regarding research on dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine and to uphold the development philosophy of equal emphasis on traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine,the China Association of Chinese Medicine has fully played a leading academic role by systematically organizing and conducting a series of academic youth salons on clinical dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine. On September 13,2024,the 36th Youth Salon on Clinical Dominant Diseases was successfully held in Nanjing,focusing on the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine and the integrative traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED). The conference brought together leading experts from traditional Chinese medicine,western medicine,and interdisciplinary fields,facilitating in-depth multidisciplinary discussions that led to key consensus on optimizing traditional Chinese medicine treatment protocols for ED,researching and developing new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,and advancing interdisciplinary development in traditional Chinese medicine. This salon systematically sorted out the clinical strengths and distinctive features of traditional Chinese medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of ED. Based on current research foundations and clinical needs,it identified key directions for future scientific layout and scientific research tackling: (1) Standardization of syndrome differentiation system of traditional Chinese medicine for ED. (2) Optimization and standardization of intervention methods of integrated traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. (3) High-quality clinical research guided by evidence-based medicine. (4) In-depth analysis of the pharmacological mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of ED. (5) Clinical translation and application promotion of new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine. (6) Interdisciplinary integration and innovation in traditional Chinese medicine. For each research direction,key focus areas,expected objectives,and clinical value were further refined,along with the establishment of a scientifically sound priority funding level evaluation system. Therefore,building on the series of salons on the ED-focused dominant diseases of traditional Chinese medicine,this paper provides standardized guidance for clinical practice of traditional Chinese medicine in ED management,effectively contributing to the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine. It serves as a valuable reference for national scientific and technological strategic layout, research and development decision-making in new drugs of traditional Chinese medicine,research topic planning,and clinical guideline formulation.

Objective:To investigate the effects of a single intravenous injection of low-dose esketamine during cesarean section on postpartum depression in primiparas.Methods:This study is a prospective randomized controlled trial involving 106 primiparas who underwent scheduled intrathecal anesthesia for cesarean section at Xi'an International Medical Center Hospital from January 2021 to December 2023. The participants were randomly assigned to either the control group or the observation group, with 53 women in each group, using a random number table method. Both groups received the same type and method of anesthesia. In the observation group, 5 minutes after the delivery of the fetus and the clamping of the umbilical cord, a low dose of esketamine (0.2 mg/kg, dissolved in 10 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride injection) was administered intravenously. The control group received an equivalent volume of 0.9% sodium chloride injection as a placebo. The score of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale at various postpartum time intervals (3, 7, 14, 30, and 42 days), the incidence of postpartum depression, and any adverse drug reactions occurring within 3 days postoperatively were compared between the two groups. Additionally, the score of the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for contraction pain was assessed.Results:The scores of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in the observation group at 3, 7, 14, 30, and 42 days postpartum were (6.23 ± 1.21), (5.82 ± 1.77), (6.14 ± 1.20), (5.33 ± 1.19), and (6.01 ± 1.23), respectively. These scores were significantly lower than those in the control group [(8.99 ± 1.28), (8.91 ± 2.11), (9.03 ± 1.94), (10.40 ± 2.68), (9.28 ± 1.84), t = 11.40, 8.16, 9.22, 12.58, 10.75, all P < 0.001]. The incidence of postpartum depression in the observation group at 7 and 14 days postpartum was significantly lower than that in the control group [3.77% (2/53) vs. 16.98% (9/53), 3.77% (2/53) vs. 15.09% (8/53), χ2 = 4.97, 3.97, P = 0.026, 0.046]. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse drug reactions within 3 days postoperatively between the two groups of women who underwent scheduled intrathecal anesthesia for cesarean section [15.09% (8/53) vs. 11.32% (6/53), χ2 = 0.32, P = 0.566]. The scores of the Visual Analog Scale for contraction pain in the observation group at 3, 6, 12, and 24 hours postoperatively were (2.13 ± 0.28), (2.55 ± 0.33), (2.73 ± 0.35), and (3.06 ± 0.37), respectively. These scores were significantly lower than those in the control group [(4.35 ± 0.46), (5.43 ± 0.36), (5.68 ± 0.35), (5.26 ± 0.43), t = 30.01, 42.93, 43.38, 28.23, all P < 0.001]. Conclusions:A single intravenous injection of low-dose esketamine during cesarean section can effectively alleviate emotional distress in primiparas in the short term after surgery, which has significant clinical implications for reducing the incidence of postpartum depression.

Objective To investigate the association of spleen volume with the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD)as well as their causal relationship.Methods We included 90 NAFLD cases and 47 healthy controls who had received contrast-enhanced computed tomography(CT)scan of the abdomen at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University from November 2022 to November 2023.We conducted three-dimensional reconstruction of the spleen through a deep learning network model using a two-stage coarse-to-fine segmentation approach.We compared the two groups using the two-sample t test or Mann-Whitney U test for continuous data and using the chi-square test for categorical data;evaluated the correlation between spleen volume and liver function indicators through Pearson correlation or Spearman rank correlation analyses;determined the factors influencing the development of NAFLD through multivariable Logistic regression analysis;and further assessed the casual relationship between spleen volume and NAFLD using the inverse variance-weighted two-sample Mendelian randomization(IVW-MR)method.Results Spleen volume was significantly larger in NAFLD cases than in controls(272.93±104.16 vs 204.37±81.20 cm3,P<0.001).The Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that spleen volume was positively correlated with the hepatic steatosis index(rs=0.422,P<0.001)and gamma-glutamyl transferase levels(rs=0.211,P=0.047)in patients with NAFLD.The multivariable Logistic regression analysis indicated that spleen volume was an independent risk factor for the development of NAFLD(odds ratio[OR]=1.01,95%confidence interval[CI]:1.00-1.02,P=0.049).The IVW-MR analysis detected a causal relationship between spleen volume and NAFLD(OR=1.16,95%CI:1.05-1.28,P=0.005).Conclusion Increased spleen volume may be a risk factor for the development and progression of NAFLD.Further studies are still needed to investigate the specific mechanism.
6.Mechanism of action of mitochondrial DNA in alveolar epithelial type Ⅱ cells in silicotic fibrosis
Journal of Regional Anatomy and Operative Surgery 2025;34(8):657-662
Objective To explore the mechanism of action of mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)of alveolar epithelial type Ⅱ cells(AECⅡ)in silicotic fibrosis.Methods This study was divided into the animal experiment and cell experiment.Animal experiment:twenty-eight C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into the saline group(n=14)and the silicosis model group(n=14),which were given 50 μL of sterile saline and 50 μL of 50 mg/mL of SiO2 suspension by tracheal perfusion respectively.HE staining and Masson staining were performed to observe the histopathological changes of mouse lung tissues after sampling with the exposure of 28 days and 56 days,and Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of functional proteins of pulmonary surfactant protein-D(SP-D),and Krebs von den Lungen-6(KL-6),and fibrotic protein of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)in mouse lung tissues.Cell experiment:AECⅡ cell line of A549 was exposed to different concentrations of SiO2 suspension.CCK-8 was used to detect cell viability,DAPI staining was used to observe cell apoptosis,Western blot was used to detect related protein expression,JC-1 was used to detect the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential,and RT-qPCR was used to detect mtDNA levels in whole cells,mitochondria,cytoplasm and supernatant.The expression levels of related proteins in AECⅡ were detected by Western blot after cleared mtDNA by DnaseⅠ.Results Histopathological examination of lung tissues showed that SiO2 exposure led to damage in mice lung tissues,with infiltration of inflammatory cell,silica nodules,and a significant increase of collagen fibers.After SiO2 exposure,the protein expressions of SP-D,KL-6 and TGF-β1 in lung tissues were up-regulated(P<0.05).DAPI staining and CCK-8 results showed a reduced activity and impaired apoptosis of AECⅡ after treated with 400 and 800 μg/mL SiO2.JC-1 assay results demonstrated that exposure to 800 μg/mL SiO2 caused a decrease of mitochondrial membrane potential in AECⅡ(P<0.05).RT-qPCR results showed that 800 μg/mL SiO2 exposure led to increased mtDNA levels in the cytoplasm and supernatant of AECⅡ(P<0.05).Western blot results showed that 800 μg/mL SiO2 exposure caused an increase in the levels of SP-D,KL-6,and TGF-β1 proteins,while which were ameliorated by Dnase Ⅰ treatment.Conclusion SiO2 exposure results in the escape and release of AECⅡ mtDNA and dysfunction of AECⅡ,thereby leading to the development of pulmonary fibrosis.
