Since the promulgation of the first Drug Administration Law of the People's Republic of China 40 years ago in 1984, China has undergone four main stages in the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) regulation: the initial establishment of TCM regulation rules(1984-1997), the formation of a modern TCM regulatory system(1998-2014), the reform of the review and approval system for new TCM drugs(2015-2018), and the construction of a scientific regulation system for TCM(2019-2024). Over the past five years, a series of milestone achievements of TCM regulation in China have been achieved in the six aspects, including its strategic objectives and the establishment of a science-based regulatory system, the reform of the review and approval system for new TCM drugs, the optimization and improvement of the TCM standard system and its formation mechanism, comprehensive enhancement of regulatory capabilities for TCM safety, international harmonization of TCM regulation and its role in promoting innovation. Looking ahead, centered on advancing TCMRS to establish a sound regulatory framework tailored to the unique characteristics of TCM, TCM regulation will evolve into new reform patterns, advancing and extending across eight critical fronts, including the legal framework and policy architecture, the review and approval system for new TCM drugs, the quality standard and management system of TCM, the comprehensive quality & safety regulation and traceability system, the research and transformation system for TCMRS, AI-driven innovations in TCM regulation, the coordination between high-quality industrial development and high-level regulation, and the leadership in international cooperation and regulatory harmonization. In this way, a unique path for the development of modern TCM regulation with Chinese characteristics will be pioneered.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of the sequence of intermediate instrumentation and distraction-reduction of the injured vertebra on the surgical efficacy of short-segment percutaneous pedicle screw fixation for thoracolumbar burst fractures with high rate of spinal canal encroachment. METHODS: From January 2016 to January 2022, 38 patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures with high rate of spinal canal encroachment (spinal canal encroachment rate >40%, complete posterior longitudinal ligament, no flipping bone block in the posterior marginal of the vertebra) without spinal cord injury who were were treated with short-segment percutaneous pedicle screw fixation were retrospectively analyzed. During the operation, 18 cases were used distraction-reduction first and then intermediate instrumentation on injured vertebral and sequential distraction-reduction again(the distraction-reduction first group) including 8 females and 10 males with a mean age of 46.5 (38.5, 50.0) years old, and the other 20 cases were used intermediate instrumentation on injured vertebral first and then direct distraction-reduction(the intermediate instrumentation first group) including 10 males and 10 females with a mean age of 46.0 (35.8, 50.8) years. The anterior height ratio of the injured vertebra, local Cobb's angle of the injured vertebrae, the spinal canal encroachment rate, and the improvement rate of spinal canal encroachment were compared and evaluated. RESULTS: All patients were followed up for more than 1 year, and no complications such as spinal cord and root injury, screw loosening and screw rod fracture were found. The anterior height ratio of the injured vertebra, local Cobb' angle of the injured vertebra in the two groups were significantly improved compared with preoperative data(P<0.05), and those at 3 months and 1 year after operation was lost compared with that at the previous time point(P<0.05). Although the spinal canal encroachment rate of the two groups 1 day and 1 year after operation was improved compared with that before operation(P<0.05), the improvement of spinal canal volume in the distraction-reduction first group was significantly better than that in the intermediate instrumentation first group (P<0.01). CONCLUSION In the treatment of patients with thoracolumbar fractures with high rate of spinal canal encroachment, short-segment percutaneous pedicle screw internal fixation with distraction-reduction first and then intermediate instrumentation and sequential distraction-reduction again can more effectively reduce the bony encroachment in the spinal canal and achieve indirect decompression effect better.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of iron overload on the expression of programmed death-1 (PD-1) on the surface of T lymphocyte in mice, in order to analyze the mechanism of iron overload inhibiting T cell function. METHODS: Flow cytometry was used to detect the labile iron pool (LIP), reactive oxygen species (ROS), and the expression of PD-1 in peripheral blood T cells in mice with iron overload. RESULTS: The mean fluorescence intensity of calcein in T cells of mice in iron overload group was 2 492±311.1, which was significantly lower than 3 136±537.3 in the control group ( P <0.01), suggesting that increased LIP in iron overload group. Compared with the control group, the ratio of CD4/CD8 of peripheral blood T cells was normal or increased in iron overload group. The level of ROS in T cells was 2 452±393.3 in iron overload group, which was significantly increased compared to 1 874±121.8 in the control group ( P <0.001). The expression of PD-1 on the surface of T cells was significantly increased. The percentage of PD-1⁺ cells in CD8⁺T cells was (12.97±6.92)% and (6.18±2.95)% in iron overload group and control group, respectively ( P <0.05), and that in CD8^-T cells was (33.55±15.69)% and (12.51±4.11)% ( P <0.001). CONCLUSION The expression of PD-1 on peripheral blood T cells in mice with iron overload is significantly increased, which may be involved in inhibiting T cell effector function.

OBJECTIVE: To confirm the sequence of a null allele HLA-C*08:127N produced by a base insertion. METHODS: PCR sequence-specific oligonucleotide probe (SSOP) and PCR sequence-based typing (SBT) were used for HLA routine detection, which discovered abnormal sequence maps of HLA-C in one acute myeloid leukemia patient. The sequence of the above loci was confirmed by next generation sequencing (NGS) technology. RESULTS: The SSOP typing result showed that HLA-C locus was C*03:04, C*08:01, while the sequence was suspected to be inserted or deleted in exon 3 by SBT, and finally confirmed by NGS as C*03:04, C*08:127N. CONCLUSION When base insertion produces HLA null alleles, SBT analysis software cannot provide correct results, but NGS technology can more intuitively obtain accurate HLA typing results.

OBJECTIVE: To identify the CDYL-interacting proteins in murine testis and investigate the mechanism of CDYL involved in spermatogenesis. METHODS: CDYL-interacting partners in testis were identified using co-immunoprecipitation coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Expression pattern of CDYL-interacting protein MYH9 was analyzed through immunohistochemistry (IHC), confocal immunofluorescence (IF) and Western blot (WB) in mouse testicular cells. The effect of the Cdyl conditional knockout (CdylcKO) in spermatogenic cell on Myh9 expression was quantified via RT-qPCR, WB and IF imaging in both spermatids and spermatozoa from cauda epididymides. RESULTS: Direct interaction between MYH9 and CDYL was confirmed in murine testis. During spermiogenesis, MYH9 exhibited co-localization with CDYL at the manchette structure, and binding to F-ACTIN, the component of manchette. In cauda epididymal spermatozoa, MYH9 signal concentrated on acrosomal region and continuously distributed along the tail length. Conditional deletion of Cdyl in spermatogenic cell resulted in the transcriptional downregulation of Myh9. In spermatids, CdylcKO led to reduced but retained MYH9 localization to the disorganized manchette structure. In spermatozoa from CdylcKO mice, abnormalities of MYH9 localization were observed, including attenuation of acrosomal signal and/or partial vanishment/enhancement of tail signal. CONCLUSION In murine spermatids, MYH9 protein is localized to the manchette structure, with its expression and subcellular distribution is affected by CDYL protein. CDYL-MYH9 interaction is essential for the spermiogenesis.
