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.

Aim To investigate the potential role and related mechanisms of protein phosphatase 2Cm(PP2Cm)overexpression in atorvastatin-induced insu-lin resistance.Methods Male C57BL/6J mice,fibro-blast growth factor 21 knockout(FGF21-KO)mice,and wildtype(WT)mice were raised for 12 weeks to construct models.Groups included atorvastatin,con-trol,atorvastatin+PP2Cm overexpression(OE),FGF21-KO+vehicle,FGF21-KO+PP2Cm OE,WT+vehicle,WT+PP2Cm OE.Body weight,fasting blood glucose levels,fasting insulin levels,and intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests(IPGTT)were measured in 4,8 and 12 weeks.The concentrations of branched-chain a-mino acids(BCAA)in cells,tissues and serum,as well as the mRNA and protein expression of BCAA cat-abolic enzymes,were determined by qRT-PCR,Western blot and ELISA after atorvastatin treatment.Further-more,the effects of PP2Cm overexpression on these in-dicators were explored,and the FGF21 was verified in vivo and in vitro.Results Atorvastatin induced insu-lin resistance in mice,altered insulin,glucose tolerance and increased BCAA levels.PP2Cm overexpression mitigated these changes.In the Atorvastatin+PP2Cm OE group,FGF21 mRNA,protein and concentration were all significantly upregulated.Regardless of PP2Cm overexpression,the knockout of FGF21 signifi-cantly increased BCAA expression levels,both fasting insulin and blood glucose levels were significantly high-er than those in WT group.Conclusions FGF21 may be an important regulator of PP2Cm involved in atorv-astatin-induced insulin resistance.PP2Cm overexpres-sion alleviates the effects of atorvastatin-induced insulin resistance by regulating FGF21.

Objective:To investigate the association between serum IgG concentration and renal prognosis in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN).Methods:It was a multi-center retrospective cohort study, patients with biopsy proven primary IgAN who were recorded in the Chinese IgA Nephropathy Information Registration System between April 1996 and September 2018 were included. Exclusion criteria were: (1) age <18 years; (2) <8 glomeruli in biopsy specimens; (3) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <15 ml·min -1·(1.73 m 2) -1 at biopsy; (4) missing baseline serum IgG values; (5) incomplete follow-up data; (6) follow-up duration <12 months. Enrolled patients were divided into 3 groups according to the baseline tertiles of serum IgG: ≤9.50 g/L (G1 group), 9.51-11.99 g/L (G2 group), and ≥12.00 g/L (G3 group). Clinical, and pathological parameters were compared across groups. The endpoint events were defined as doubled serum creatinine level from baseline, or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Results:A total of 1 976 IgAN patients were included in this study, 631 were in G1 group, 664 in G2 group, and 681 in G3 group. The comparison of baseline clinical data showed that there were statistically significant differences among the three groups in terms of gender, age, microscopic hematuria, edema, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, eGFR, 24-hour urine protein quantity, blood uric acid, blood albumin, serum IgA, serum IgM, the proportion of using immunosuppressants, and the proportion of using glucocorticoids (all P<0.05). In terms of pathology, the higher the serum IgG concentration, the relatively less severe the overall renal pathological damage. The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that gender, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, eGFR, 24-hour urine protein quantity, total protein, serum albumin, globulin, serum IgG, Oxford renal pathological classification, glomerular sclerosis ratio, and glomerular IgM deposition were all associated with the occurrence of renal endpoint events (all P<0.05). Based on clinical practice and previous studies, after adjusting for gender, age, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, eGFR, 24-hour urine protein quantity, body mass index, Oxford renal pathological classification, glomerular sclerosis ratio, and the use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors, glucocorticoids, and immunosuppressants, multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that as a continuous variable, the baseline serum IgG level ( HR=0.91, 95% CI 0.87-0.96) was independently associated with the risk of renal endpoint events in IgAN patients; as a categorical variable, with serum IgG ≤ 9.50 g/L as the reference, serum IgG 9.51-11.99 g/L and serum IgG ≥ 12.00 g/L were independent factors for the occurrence of renal endpoint events in IgAN patients ( HR=0.69, 95% CI 0.49-0.96, P=0.027; HR=0.50, 95% CI 0.34-0.74, P<0.001). During a median follow-up of 33(21, 53) months started from the date of renal biopsy and continued until December 31, 2019, the median follow-up duration was 33 (21, 53) months, and a total of 232 patients (11.74%) reached the composite endpoint. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the higher the serum IgG concentration in patients with IgAN, the higher their cumulative renal survival rate (Log-rank test, χ2=47.176, P<0.001). Conclusion:The higher level of serum IgG at diagnosis is associated with better clinicopathologic features and renal outcomes, and may portend better renal survival in IgAN patients.

Objective To investigate the incidence rate,clinical characteristics,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen,China.Methods Led by Shenzhen Children's Hospital,the Shenzhen Neonatal Data Collaboration Network organized 21 institutions to collect 36 cases of neonatal stroke from January 2020 to December 2022.The incidence,clinical characteristics,treatment,and prognosis of neonatal stroke in Shenzhen were analyzed.Results The incidence rate of neonatal stroke in 21 hospitals from 2020 to 2022 was 1/15 137,1/6 060,and 1/7 704,respectively.Ischemic stroke accounted for 75％(27/36);boys accounted for 64％(23/36).Among the 36 neonates,31(86％)had disease onset within 3 days after birth,and 19(53％)had convulsion as the initial presentation.Cerebral MRI showed that 22 neonates(61％)had left cerebral infarction and 13(36％)had basal ganglia infarction.Magnetic resonance angiography was performed for 12 neonates,among whom 9(75％)had involvement of the middle cerebral artery.Electroencephalography was performed for 29 neonates,with sharp waves in 21 neonates(72％)and seizures in 10 neonates(34％).Symptomatic/supportive treatment varied across different hospitals.Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment was performed for 12 neonates(33％,12/36),with a mean score of(32±4)points.The prognosis of 27 neonates was followed up to around 12 months of age,with 44％(12/27)of the neonates having a good prognosis.Conclusions Ischemic stroke is the main type of neonatal stroke,often with convulsions as the initial presentation,involvement of the middle cerebral artery,sharp waves on electroencephalography,and a relatively low neurodevelopment score.Symptomatic/supportive treatment is the main treatment method,and some neonates tend to have a poor prognosis.

Objective This study aimed to investigate the potential relationship between urinary metals copper (Cu), arsenic (As), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), iron (Fe), lead (Pb) and manganese (Mn) and grip strength. Methods We used linear regression models, quantile g-computation and Bayesian kernel machine regression (BKMR) to assess the relationship between metals and grip strength.Results In the multimetal linear regression, Cu (β=-2.119), As (β=-1.318), Sr (β=-2.480), Ba (β=0.781), Fe (β= 1.130) and Mn (β=-0.404) were significantly correlated with grip strength (P < 0.05). The results of the quantile g-computation showed that the risk of occurrence of grip strength reduction was -1.007 (95％ confidence interval:-1.362, -0.652; P < 0.001) when each quartile of the mixture of the seven metals was increased. Bayesian kernel function regression model analysis showed that mixtures of the seven metals had a negative overall effect on grip strength, with Cu, As and Sr being negatively associated with grip strength levels. In the total population, potential interactions were observed between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn (Pinteractions of 0.003 and 0.018, respectively).Conclusion In summary, this study suggests that combined exposure to metal mixtures is negatively associated with grip strength. Cu, Sr and As were negatively correlated with grip strength levels, and there were potential interactions between As and Mn and between Cu and Mn.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Coronary artery fistula(CAF)is defined as the direct connection between coronary artery and cardiac cavity,great vessel or other vascular structures.Most CAF are congenital and often present as persistent murmur in asymptomatic children.Although abnormal shunt of most coronary fistulas has little effect on hemodynamics,some larger fistulas can also lead to a series of complications,such as congestive heart failure.Therefore,closed CAF has been recommended to treat or prevent myocardial ischemia,congestive heart failure,endarteritis,arrhythmia,thromboembolism,aneurysm dilatation and rupture and other complications.CAF is a rare congenital heart disease,and bilateral CAF originating from two coronary arteries is even rarer.At present,there are rare systematic reports on bilateral CAF.Therefore,a case of huge bilateral CAF at the same site was reported,and systematically,this kind of case was summarized,so as to improve the clinical attention of diagnosis and treatment of this kind of CAF.Nowadays,some new interventional devices and technologies are emerging with the continuous progress of cardiovascular interventional technology,making the treatment more accurate,safe and effective.At the same time,there is also a clearer understanding of the indications and operating standards for interventional treatment,which is more operable and predictable during the treatment process.Therefore,interventional treatment of CAF may partially replace surgical treatment as the preferred treatment method.
