Tumorigenesis， invasion， and metastasis occur in the context of a persistent inflammatory microenvironment， and a variety of inflammatory factors can lead to the development of various tumors. Guided by the thought of "preventive treatment of disease" in TCM and the concept of tertiary prevention in modern medicine， it is of great significance to effectively intervene in the inflammatory stage of the disease， interrupt disease progression， prevent the occurrence of malignant tumors， and reverse the process of "inflammation-to-cancer transformation". Sinisan， a commonly used prescription in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases， has been widely applied in the treatment of precancerous lesions of the digestive system， demonstrating considerable advantages. This article reviewed literature from the past 20 years， summarizing the application of Sinisan in precancerous lesions of the digestive system from three aspects： the exploration of its prescription-syndrome relationship， clinical application， and mechanistic study. It is found that basic syndrome indications of Sinisan include harmonizing the Earth element to promote spleen-stomach transportation and transformation， soothing the liver and nourishing the Wood element to restore the smooth flow of Qi， and regulating Yin and Yang to relieve stagnation within the system. In clinical application， Sinisan has shown significant efficacy in atrophic gastritis and precancerous conditions such as intestinal metaplasia， gastric ulcer， ulcerative colitis， esophagitis， and pancreatitis. Mechanistic studies have revealed that Sinisan can inhibit inflammatory factors and improve the inflammatory microenvironment， inhibit cell proliferation and regulate apoptosis， exhibit anti-angiogenic and antitumorigenic effects， modulate immune function， and exert antioxidant effects. These mechanisms can be achieved by regulating pathways such as nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 （Nrf2/HO-1）， farnesoid X receptor （FXR）/Nrf2， phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B （PI3K/Akt）， Takeda G protein-coupled receptor 5/cyclic adenosine monophosphate/protein kinase A （TGR5/cAMP/PKA）， interleukin-4/signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 （IL-4/STAT6）， Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT）， RhoA/Rho-associated protein kinase （RhoA/ROCK）， and transforming growth factor-β/Smad proteins （TGF-β/Smads）， confirming Sinisan's role in reversing the inflammation-to-cancer transformation. The current research status of Sinisan in precancerous lesions of the digestive system was thoroughly examined through the above three aspects， along with the identification of limitations and areas for improvement in current research. The aim is to provide a basis and support for future in-depth research on Sinisan， promote the development of new integrated treatment models combining TCM and Western medicine for precancerous lesions， and aid in the research and development of drugs related to precancerous lesions.

Plants of the Isodon genus are an important source of terpenoids， with their constituents exhibiting rich structural diversity and remarkable biological activities （such as anticancer， antimicrobial， and anti-inflammatory properties）， demonstrating significant potential in the field of immunomodulation. This review summarizes recent advances in the immunomodulatory mechanisms， development and application of terpenoid compounds from the Isodon genus. It has been found that these compounds can modulate key inflammatory signaling pathways， such as nuclear factor-kappa B （NF-κB） and mitogen-activated protein kinases （MAPKs）， thereby blocking the cascade amplification of inflammatory factors， alleviating chronic inflammatory responses， and correcting immune dysregulation. Additionally， they can influence the polarization direction of macrophages and dynamically regulate the balance among different functional subsets of T cells， restoring immune homeostasis. Their clinical translation faces multiple challenges， including poor druggability， a lack of systematic safety data， the absence of precise pharmacodynamic biomarkers， complexities in clinical trial design， and unclear industrialization pathways.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of Ching Shum Pills (CSP) for alleviating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: In a mouse model of NAFLD, the therapeutic effect of CSP was evaluated by measuring serum glucose, lipid profiles (TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C), and hepatic function markers. Network pharmacology was employed to identify active compounds in CSP and their targets using TCMSP, HERB, SwissTargetPrediction, GeneCards, OMIM, and DisGeNET. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks, Gene Ontology (GO), and KEGG pathway analyses were conducted. Molecular docking (AutoDock Vina) was used to assess the compound-target binding affinities. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to validate the mRNA expressions of the core genes in the liver tissue of the mouse models. RESULTS: In the mouse model of NAFLD, treatment with CSP significantly reduced body weight gain and serum TG levels of the mice, and high-dose CSP treatment resulted in obvious reduction of ALT levels and hepatic fat accumulation. Network pharmacology analysis identified quercetin and 2-monolinolenin as the key bioactives in CSP, which target TNF, AKT1, IL6, TP53, and ALB. Docking simulations suggested strong binding between the two core compounds and their target proteins. The results of qRT-PCR showed that high-fat diet induced significant downregulation of Tp53, Cpt1, and Ppara expressions in mice, which was effectively reversed by CSP treatment. CONCLUSIONS CSP can improve lipid metabolism disorders in NAFLD mice through a regulatory mechanism involving multiple targets and pathways to reduce liver fat accumulation and protect liver function. The key components in CSP such as quercetin and linolenic acid monoacylglycerol may participate in the regulation of such metabolic processes as fatty acid oxidation by targeting TP53.

OBJECTIVE To explore the effect of failure mode and effect analysis(FMEA)on management of hospi-tal-associated infections(HAIs)in hemodialysis center.METHODS In Nov.2023,the risk priority number(RPN)integrated with action priority(AP)was adopted to identify,analyze and evaluate the risk factors in man-agement of HAIs in hemodialysis center of Tongji Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College,Huazhong Uni-versity of Science and Technology by FMEA method.The high risk points that needed to be taken interventions were screened out,and the targeted measures were formulated to control the risks.At the end of the intervention period,a second round of risk assessment was carried out for improvement status of the high-risk points in Nov.2024,and the effect on the management of HAIs was evaluated.RESULTS The risk assessment was carried out for 48 risk points covering eight aspects,including organizational structure,self-inspection and supervision,staff management,environmental layout,cleaning and disinfection,surveillance,operation procedures and i-tem management.There were 9 risk points with the RPN values greater than 125,3 of which were with the AP value of"H".There were 8 risk points with the RPN value less than 125 and 6 risk points with the AP value drop-ping down to L after the targeted intervention measures were taken,indicating that the risk management has a-chieved favorable effect.CONCLUSIONS The RPN and AP integrated with FMEA can accurately identify the high-risk points in the quality management of the hemodialysis center.It is necessary to take targeted interven-tion measures so as to boost the effect on prevention and control of HAIs in the hemodialysis center and reduce the risk of HAIs in the hemodialysis patients.

Nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVF), predominantly affecting the elderly, can lead to intractable pain, vertebral collapse, progressive kyphotic deformity, and neurological impairment, significantly compromising patients′ quality of life. There exists considerable debate on diagnosis and management of OVF, encompassing key issues such as clinical diagnosis and staging criteria for nonunion, surgical indications and procedure selection, and postoperative rehabilitation planning. Currently, there lacks standardized clinical guideline and expert consensus on the diagnosis and management of OVF nonunion in China. To address this gap, Minimally Invasive Surgery Group of Chinese Orthopedic Association, Osteoporosis Committee of Chinese Association of Orthopedic Surgeons, Prevention and Rehabilitation Committee for Osteoporosis of Chinese Association of Rehabilitation Medicine and Minimally Invasive Orthopedic Surgery Branch of China Association for Geriatric Care jointly organized domestic experts in spinal surgery, endocrinology, and rehabilitation to formulate the Clinical guideline for the diagnosis and treatment for nonunion of osteoporotic vertebral fractures ( version 2025), based on existing literature and clinical experience and adhering to principles of scientific rigor and practicality. The guideline provided 13 evidence-based recommendations encompassing diagnosis and treatment of OVF nonunion, aiming to standardize its clinical management.
