Objective To explore the traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndrome characteristics of patients with Chikungunya hemorrhagic fever and to provide empirical data to support the application of TCM in diagnosing and treating Chikungunya hemorrhagic fever.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted to collect clinical data(sex,age,days since onset,and comorbidity underlying disease conditions)and TCM with four-examination information(symptoms,tongue manifestations,and pulse manifestations)from 255 patients with Chikungunya hemorrhagic fever who visited Lecong Hospital of Shunde,Foshan,the Third People's Hospital of Shunde District of Foshan,Shunde Hospital of Southern Medical University Affiliated Chencun Hospital between July 23 and July 29,2025.Factor and cluster analyses were used to summarize TCM syndrome characteristics and analyze core pathogenesis in conjunction with clinical features.Results Among the 255 patients with Chikungunya hemorrhagic fever,131 were male and 124 were female,with a age of(49.05±17.93)years and a disease duration of(3.26±1.78)days.Among the four types of examination information in TCM,35 items exhibited a frequency exceeding 10%.The most prevalent symptoms were arthralgia(180 patients,70.59%),exanthem(153 patients,60.00%),fatigue(99 patients,38.82%),anhidrosis(98 patients,38.43%),pruritus(96 patients,37.65%),and fever(92 patients,36.08%).Tongue and pulse manifestations were primarily white fur(155 patients,60.78%),pink tongue(111 patients,43.53%),slippery pulse(143 patients,56.08%),and greasy fur(134 patients,52.53%).Patients with disease onset≤3 d had a higher incidence of arthralgia,fatigue,fever,aversion to cold,generalized muscle pain,aversion to wind,insomnia,headache,sweating,low-grade fever,poor appetite,loose stool,hyperhidrosis,and red tongue than those with disease onset≥4 d(P<0.05).Patients with disease onset≥4 d had a higher incidence of pink tongue and thick fur than those with disease onset≤3 d(P<0.05).The syndrome elements in patients with Chikungunya hemorrhagic fever predominantly manifested on the defensive exterior,with involvement of the sinew-bone joints,skin-muscle,and spleen.Pathogenic factors were primarily characterized by external winds,dampness,and heat.Factor and cluster analysis result indicated three TCM pathogenesis progression patterns:imbalance of the defensive exterior with wind-dampness conflict and heat transformation;dampness-heat flowing into muscles and meridians causing joint obstruction and qi blood stasis;and dampness-heat congelation resulting in qi mechanism obstruction,consumption of body fluids,and infiltration of the skin.Conclusion Patients with Chikungunya hemorrhagic fever primarily present with fever,joint pain,and rashes.In TCM,this condition falls under the category of"dampness-warmth"syndrome.Its etiology is attributed to pathogens,with transmission occurring through mosquito bites.The core pathogenesis of TCM is the invasion of the defensive exterior and dampness-toxic heat accumulation.The therapeutic principles focus on clearing heat pathogens,resolving dampness pathogens,dispersing wind pathogens,and promoting the resolution of rashes.

Objective:To explore the clinical outcome of blastocysts with different developmental time and grades of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) embryo transfer cycles, and to compare and analyze their transcriptome characteristics.Methods:The clinical data of patients with euploid blastocyst transplantation selected by PGT-A in Center for Reproductive Medicine of Women Health Center of Shanxi from January 2017 to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. A total of 295 transplantation cycles were divided into groups according to the day of embryo blastulation [day 5 (D5) group and day 6 (D6) group] and blastocyst grade (good-quality group and fair-quality group) and their clinical outcomes were compared. By comparing the single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data of blastocysts of different developmental time and grades from GEO and ENA data platforms, the transcriptome level differences among different groups were analyzed.Results:1) There were no significant differences in age of male and female, type of infertility, infertility duration, body mass index (BMI), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol and number of oocytes retrieved between D5 and D6 groups (all P>0.05). The M Ⅱ oocyte rate [86.35% (2051/2375) vs. 82.71% (1770/2140), P=0.001], blastocyst formation rate [68.08% (725/1065) vs. 62.14% (540/869), P=0.006], implantation rate [72.78% (115/158) vs. 52.55% (72/137), P<0.001], clinical pregnancy rate [56.33% (89/158) vs. 43.80% (60/137), P=0.032] and live birth rate [53.80% (85/158) vs. 40.87% (56/137), P=0.027] in D5 group were significantly higher than those in D6 group, and the results of miscarriage rate, preterm birth rate, proportion of male and birth weight between the two groups were not statistically significant. 2) There were no significant differences in age of male and female, type of infertility, infertility duration, BMI, FSH, LH, estradiol and number of oocytes retrieved between good-quality and fair-quality groups (all P>0.05). The M Ⅱ oocyte rate [87.06% (1251/1437) vs. 83.50% (2570/3078), P=0.002], blastocyst formation rate [73.38% (499/680) vs. 61.08% (766/1254), P<0.001], implantation rate [77.90% (74/95) vs. 56.50% (113/200), P<0.001], clinical pregnancy rate [61.05% (58/95) vs. 45.50% (91/200), P=0.013] and live birth rate [56.84% (54/95) vs. 43.50% (87/200), P=0.032] in good-quality group were significantly higher than those in fair-quality group, and the results of miscarriage rate, preterm birth rate, proportion of male and birth weight between the two groups were not statistically significant. 3) Based on the scRNA-seq data from GEO and ENA data platforms, we mined differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) of D5 and D6 blastocysts, good-quality blastocysts and fair-quality blastocysts. Compared with D6 group, KEGG enrichment analysis showed that DEGs up-regulated of ICM/TE in D5 group were significantly enriched in 285/288 signaling pathways. DEGs up-regulated of ICM/TE were significantly enriched in 207/3 signaling pathways in the good-quality group compared with the fair-quality group. Conclusion:In terms of implantation and clinical pregnancy ability, D5 blastocysts were better than D6 blastocysts, and good-quality blastocysts were better than fair-quality blastocysts. Transcriptome level analysis of blastocysts with different developmental time and grades showed significant differences in transcriptome characteristics. The analysis of blastocyst transcriptome level has predictive value for blastocyst implantation and clinical pregnancy ability.

Objective:To explore the application value of BOPPPS teaching mode in the course of Medical Literature Retrieval. Methods:We selected 144 students from four classes of Chinese medicine in our school of Batch 2018 as the research objects, set 72 students from Class 1 and 3 as the experimental group, taking the BOPPPS teaching mode, and set 72 students in Class 2 and 4 as the control group, using traditional teaching mode. After the teaching activities were completed, the teaching effect, teaching satisfaction, and evaluation of the teaching results of the two groups of students were compared through basic theoretical examinations, database operation and questionnaire surveys. SPSS 21.0 software was performed for data analysis.Results:The database assessment scores of the experimental group and the control group were (87.82 ± 9.24) points and (82.50 ± 6.18) points, respectively, with statistical differences between the two groups ( P=0.001, P<0.05). The questionnaire survey showed that the feedback of the experimental group in database use, stimulating learning interest and teaching satisfaction were better than that of the control group, with statistical differences ( P<0.05). Conclusion:The BOPPPS teaching mode helps to stimulate students' interest in learning, improve learning efficiency, and ultimately improve the quality of teaching.

Objective To prepare human adenovirus type 4 (Ad4) vector expressing enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP). Methods This study used a previously prepared plasmid pBRAd4 containing the whole genome DNA of Ad4-GZ01 strain. The Ad4 genome E3 region of pBRAd4 was deleted and replaced with the EGFP expression frame by conventional molecular cloning method. Then the recombi-nant plasmid was transfected into AD293 cells to rescue recombinant virus which was identified by sequen-cing,SDS-PAGE and ELISA. The purified virions were injected to mice and the induced immune responses were detected by ELISA and microneutralization test. Results The recombinant Ad4 vector rAd4EGFP ex-pressing EGFP was obtained and could be recognized and neutralized by monoclonal antibody MN4b and an-tisera against Ad4. The Ad4-specific and EGFP-specific antibodies with high titers could be detected in mice immunized with rAd4EGFP. Conclusion Human Ad4 vector expressing EGFP was successfully obtained and could be used in research on vaccine development,drug evaluation and transgene vector.
