Functional dyspepsia （FD） is a prioritized disease category where traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） demonstrates distinct therapeutic advantages. The current western medicine treatment for FD is mainly based on proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents， with digestive enzymes， probiotics and antidepressants serving as adjuvant medication， yet such therapies still have certain limitations. TCM treatment for FD includes oral administration of Chinese herbal formulas and Chinese patent medicines， as well as external TCM therapies such as acupuncture and moxibustion， acupoint application， hot medicinal compress therapy， rubbing with ointment， medicinal iontophoresis， auricular acupoint therapy and tui na （Chinese medical massage）. The combined treatment of FD with integrated TCM and western medicine can significantly improve clinical effectiveness and reduce adverse reactions. The common mechanisms underlying the therapeutic effects of both TCM and western medicine revolve around the core pathological processes of FD， mainly focusing on restoring gastrointestinal motility， regulating the levels of brain-gut peptides， modulating intestinal microecology， and ameliorating inflammatory status. The differential mechanisms lie in the precise targeting feature of western medicine versus the holistic-regulating and multi-target characteristics of TCM， and the two approaches exert a synergistic effect to enhance efficacy. This paper proposes to leverage the advantages of TCM in holistic regulation and the strengths of western medicine in targeted treatment， so as to provide personalized and comprehensive treatment regimens for FD patients.

OBJECTIVE:Patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures still have residual back pain after vertebral augmentation.The current research is characterized by limited sample size,complex confounding factors,and inconsistent research results.To gain a deeper understanding of this phenomenon,the aim of this study was to identify and evaluate the risk factors for residual back pain after surgery through a systematic review and meta-analysis.METHODS:A comprehensive search was conducted in CNKI,VIP,WanFang,CBMdisc,PubMed,The Cochrane Library,Embase,and Web of Science for case-control studies on residual back pain after vertebral body augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures from database inception to July 2024.The search terms were a combination of subject terms and free terms.The basic information,patient characteristics,surgical-related indicators,and risk factors for surgical back pain of the included studies were extracted.After evaluating the bias risk of all included studies,a meta-analysis was conducted using Stata 14.0 software on the relevant indicators.RESULTS:(1)21 case-control studies with a total of 8 043 patients were included.Among them,965 patients developed back pain.The quality score of all 21 studies was ≥7.(2)The meta-analysis results showed that age(WMD=0.98,95％CI:0.40-1.56,P=0.010),bone mineral density(WMD=-0.28,95％CI:-0.34 to-0.21,P=0.000),the number of vertebral fractures(OR=3.50,95％CI:2.65-4.62,P=0.000),thoracolumbar fracture index(OR=3.65,95％CI:2.61-5.11,P=0.000),cement volume(OR=6.89,95％CI:2.62-18.17,P=0.000),and cement distribution(OR=2.38,95％CI:1.93-2.93,P=0.000)were risk factors for the development of back pain after vertebral body augmentation in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures.CONCLUSION:Current evidence indicates that age,bone mineral density,the number of vertebral fractures,thoracolumbar fracture index,bone cement injection volume,and the distribution of bone cement are risk factors for low back pain.Specifically,bone mineral density,the number of vertebral fractures,thoracolumbar fracture index,and non-uniform distribution of bone cement are identified as independent risk factors for low back pain.Patients exhibiting these high-risk factors require vigilant monitoring and prompt intervention to mitigate the occurrence of clinical low back pain,thereby enhancing patient outcomes and quality of life.

Animal model research on spleen and stomach diseases in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is of great significance for elucidating the nature of diseases and syndromes and for revealing the mechanisms of action of Chinese herbal medicinals. At present， studies on classical TCM syndrome models of spleen and stomach diseases mainly focus on spleen deficiency syndrome， liver constraint syndrome， and damp-heat syndrome. Model construction is mostly based on the etiological and pathophysiological characteristics of syndrome， and model evaluation primarily involves macroscopic manifestations and physicochemical indicators. This paper summarizes the current research status of animal models integrating disease and syndrome for seven common spleen and stomach diseases， including chronic gastritis and gastric precancerous lesions， gastroesophageal reflux disease， functional dyspepsia， inflammatory bowel disease， irritable bowel syndrome， functional constipation， and functional diarrhea. The modeling methods and characteristics of disease-syndrome combined animal models for each disease are analyzed. It is proposed that future research on disease-syndrome integration in spleen and stomach diseases should move toward syste-matic， precise， and integrative development， and that interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research approaches should be adopted to enhance the predictive value and application efficiency of disease-syndrome combined animal models.

All four patients were female, with an average age of 28.8 days and an average weight of 3.64 kg. Only case 4 was born prematurely at 34 W+5 and was treated conservatively until 71 days to complete operation. All the others completed primary corrective surgery in the neonatal period, and all survived after operation. Two different surgical techniques were used to repair the aortic-pulmonary window and the aortic origin of the right pulmonary artery, including 1 case using the aortic internal baffle technique and another 3 cases underwent replantation of the right pulmonary artery (1 case was reconstructed in situ, and the other 2 cases were reconstructed by moving the right pulmonary artery in the anterior of aorta). Case 2 who received aortic internal baffle technique underwent two reoperation because of right pulmonary artery stenosis. While, right pulmonary artery of cases 3 and 4 developed well after being reconstructed the right pulmonary artery anterior translocation. After the diagnosis of Berry syndrome through cardiac color ultrasound and CT angiography, a primary surgical radical treatment should be performed as soon as possible at an experienced pediatric cardiac center. Although the surgery is high-risk and complex, it is safe and effective.

Background: The previous research has confirmed the existence of idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (IDILI) caused by Polygonum multiflorum (PM-IDILI), and demonstrated that PM-IDILI is an immune-mediated injury, with HLA-B*35:01 identified as a genetic susceptibility marker. Additionally, emodin-8-O-β-D-glucoside (EG) and 2, 3, 5, 4′-tetrahyd roxystilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside have been proposed as potential contributory ingredients in the pathogenesis of PM-IDILI. However, the precise mechanisms through which these susceptible factors contribute to the development of PM-IDILI remain unclear. Objectives: This study aims to explore the molecular characteristics of HLA-B*35:01 that contribute to PM-DILI and to propose a mechanistic hypothesis based on our previous research on PM-induced protein adducts. Methods: Key differences between HLA-B*35:01 and general Chinese HLA-B alleles were identified by comparing protein sequences, peptide binding motifs, and protein structures. Molecular docking was employed to assess whether PM-induced haptenated peptides can be presented by HLA-B*35:01 and other related alleles. Additionally, a simplified dipeptide model was used to evaluate the binding affinity of HLA-B*35:01 to EG-haptenated peptides. Results: Our findings revealed significant differences in the residues of the B and F peptide binding pockets of HLA-B*35:01 compared to general Chinese HLA-B alleles. Further analysis suggested that the F pocket of HLA-B*35:01 was capable of binding EG-cysteine adducts and might be a key feature in the PM-IDILI pathogenesis. Peptide docking using DINC and molecular dynamics simulations indicated that HLA-B*35:01 could form stable complexes with EG-haptenated peptides. Molecular dynamics simulations also highlighted the critical roles of both the B and F pockets in peptide binding. Specifically, the F pocket binds the EG-modified residue in haptenated peptides, while the B pocket, despite lacking shared features among PM-IDILI patients, may indirectly influence the incidence of PM-IDILI by filtering haptenated peptides. The binding affinity of HLA-B*35:01 to EG-modified cysteine residues was experimentally validated through a dipeptide-based assay, confirming that HLA-B*35:01 could bind EG-haptenated peptides. Conclusions: This study identified the unique B and F binding pockets of HLA-B*35:01 as key factors in PM-IDILI pathogenesis and demonstrated that HLA-B*35:01 could bind EG-haptenated peptides. These findings suggest that PM-IDILI may be a hapten-based drug hypersensitivity reaction driven by EG, providing a theoretical framework for further research aimed at elucidating the molecular mechanisms underlying PM-IDILI.

Objective:This study aimed to evaluate the value of CT-based radiomics machine learning models in predicting spread through air spaces(STAS)in lung adenocarcinoma(LUAD)and to determine the optimal peritumoral analysis region.Methods:Data from 378 pa-tients who underwent non-small cell lung cancer surgery at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital between January 2013 to January 2017 were retro-spectively analyzed.Logistic regression,random forest,and XGBoost models were constructed using regions extending 0,3,6,9,and 12 mm outward from the tumor margin.Results:The XGBoost model using the 6 mm peritumoral region performed best on the test set,with an AUC-ROC of 0.855(95%CI:0.756-0.950),followed by the XGBoost model using the 9 mm region.Decision curve analysis(DCA)indicated that the XGBoost models for the 6 mm and 9 mm regions had higher net clinical benefits.Feature analysis revealed that some wavelet trans-form features significantly contributed to STAS prediction.Conclusions:This preliminary study suggests that CT-based radiomics machine learning models have predictive value for STAS.The XGBoost model based on the 6 mm peritumoral region demonstrated the best perform-ance,and holds promise in assisting preoperative assessment.

Objective:This study aims to construct a colorectal cancer(CRC)prognosis prediction model based on disulfide death associated long-chain non coding ribonucleic acids(DRLncRNAs),and to explore its potential application in predicting prognosis and guiding personalized treatment.Methods:The data for this study was sourced from the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,which includes RNA sequencing data and detailed clinical information of CRC patients.Using co expression network analysis to screen DRLncRNAs.Preliminary screening of DRLncRNAs related to prognosis was conducted through univariate Cox regression analysis,followed by variable screening and dimensionality reduction using LASSO Cox regression analysis.Finally,key DRLncRNAs for constructing a prognostic risk model were identified through multivariate Cox regression analysis.Evaluate the predictive ability of prognostic risk models for survival in CRC patients through Kaplan Meier survival curve analysis.The accuracy of the model was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves,and the ability of different gene expression profiles to distinguish risk stratification was evaluated using principal component analysis(PCA).Gene ontology(GO)and KEGG enrichment analysis were used to evaluate the enrichment of high and low expression gene sets in different risk groups.Results:Five key DRLncRNAs(AC068580.3,AL161729.4,ZEB1-AS1,AC073896.3,and SNHG16)were successfully screened.In the overall concentration,the area under the curve(AUC)of the model's 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival predictions are 0.674,0.746,and 0.727,respectively;In the training set,the predicted AUC for 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival were 0.669,0.762,and 0.756,respectively;In the test set,the predicted AUC for 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival were 0.666,0.725,and 0.697,respectively.SNHG16 and AC073896.3 are protective factors,and high expression was associated with better prognosis;ZEB1-AS1,AC068580.3,and AL161729.4 were risk factors,and high expression indicates poor prognosis.The Kaplan Meier survival analysis results showed that there was a significant difference in survival between the high-risk and low-risk groups(P＜0.05),and the overall survival rate of the high-risk group was significantly lower(P＜0.05).The enrichment analysis results showed that the phosphatidylinositol mediated signal transduction,mitochondrial gene expression,and other biological processes related to 5 DRLncRNAs may be involved in the occurrence,development,and poor prognosis of CRC.The results of this study showed that a prognostic risk model based on five DRLncRNAs(AC068580.3,AL161729.4,ZEB1-AS1,AC073896.3,and SNHG16)was successfully established,which showed independent correlation with the overall survival status of CRC patients.In addition,the prognostic risk model constructed based on these 5 DRLncRNAs can effectively predict the prognosis of CRC patients.Conclusion:This study identified five DRLncRNAs,including AC068580.3,AL161729.4,ZEB1-AS1,AC073896.3,and SNHG16,that are associated with the prognosis of CRC patients.The prognostic risk model constructed based on these five DRLncRNAs has a high evaluation efficiency for the prognosis of CRC patients.
