ObjectiveTo observe the clinical effect of Xiaozhi Hugan capsules in treating patients with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) combined with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis syndrome and its effects on serum interleukin-6 (IL-6) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1). MethodsA total of 124 patients with NASH combined with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis syndrome who were admitted to the Department of Spleen, Stomach, and Hepatobiliary Diseases, the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of Chinese Medicine from July 2020 to December 2022 were selected. According to the random number table method, patients were randomly divided into an observation group (62 cases) and a control group (62 cases). The treatment duration was 6 months. The observation group received Xiaozhi Hugan capsules orally, while the control group received polyene phosphatidylcholine capsules. The efficacy indicators included alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), controlled attenuation parameter (CAP), liver stiffness measurement (LSM), traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndrome scores (discomfort/dull pain/distending pain in liver region, fatigue, etc.), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) [including fasting blood glucose (FBG) and fasting insulin level (INS)], free fatty acids (FFA), IL-6, and MCP-1. Adverse drug reactions were recorded. ResultsAfter treatment, the total effective rate in the observation group was 92.3% (48/52), while that in the control group was 75.5% (39/49). The total effective rate in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (χ2=5.339, P<0.05). After treatment, the TCM syndrome scores in both groups were significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the post-treatment scores in the observation group were better than those in the control group (P<0.05). After treatment, the levels of ALT, AST, TC, FFA, fasting insulin (FINS), HOMA-IR, MCP-1, IL-6, CAP, LSM, BMI, and WHtR were decreased (P<0.05) significantly in both groups, and the observation group showed superior improvement in the above indicators compared to the control group (P<0.05). The observation group exhibited significant reductions in TG and FBG (P<0.05) and an increase in HDL-C (P<0.05), while no significant changes were observed in the control group. The observation group was superior to the control group after treatment (P<0.05). No severe adverse reactions occurred in either group during the treatment. ConclusionXiaozhi Hugan capsules have significant clinical efficacy in treating patients with NASH combined with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis syndrome. It reduces hepatic steatosis, lowers liver stiffness, inhibits the expression of serum inflammatory factors, and alleviates liver inflammation. No obvious adverse reactions occur, suggesting it is suitable for clinical application.

Transarterial radioembolization (TARE) is a widely utilized therapeutic approach for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), however, the clinical implementation is constrained by the stringent preparation conditions of radioembolization agents. Herein, we incorporated the superstable homogeneous iodinated formulation technology (SHIFT), simultaneously utilizing an enhanced solvent form in a carbon dioxide supercritical fluid environment, to encapsulate radionuclides (such as 131I,177Lu, or 18F) with lipiodol for the preparation of radiolipiodol. The resulting radiolipiodol exhibited exceptional stability and ultra-high labeling efficiency (≥99%) and displayed notable intratumoral radionuclide retention and in vivo stability more than 2 weeks following locoregional injection in subcutaneous tumors in mice and orthotopic liver tumors in rats and rabbits. Given these encouraging findings, 18F was authorized as a radiotracer in radiolipiodol for clinical trials in HCC patients, and showed a favorable tumor accumulation, with a tumor-to-liver uptake ratio of ≥50 and minimal radionuclide leakage, confirming the feasibility of SHIFT for TARE applications. In the context of transforming from preclinical to clinical screening, the preparation of radiolipiodol by SHIFT represents an innovative physical strategy for radionuclide encapsulation. Hence, this work offers a reliable and efficient approach for TARE in HCC, showing considerable promise for clinical application (ChiCTR2400087731).

By consulting the ancient and moderm literature, this paper makes a textual research on the name, origin, quality evaluation, harvesting and processing of Olibanum, so as to provide a basis for the development of the famous classical formulas containing this medicinal material. According to the herbal textual research, the results showed that Olibanum was first described as a medicinal material by the name of Xunluxiang in Mingyi Bielu(《名医别录》), until Ruxiang had been used as the correct name since Bencao Shiyi(《本草拾遗》) in Tang dynasty. The main origin was Boswellia carterii from Burseraceae family. The mainly producing areas in ancient description were ancient India and Arabia, while the modern producing areas are Somalia, Ethiopia and the southern Arabian Peninsula. The medicinal part of Olibanum in ancient and modern times is the resin exuded from the bark, which has been mainly harvested in spring and summer. It is concluded that the better Olibanum has light yellow, granular, translucent, no impurities such as sand and bark, sticky powder and aromatic smell. There were many processing methods in ancient times, including cleansing(water flying, removing impurities), grinding(wine grinding, rush grinding), frying(stir-frying, rush frying, wine frying), degreasing, vinegar processing, decoction. In modern times, the main processing methods are simplified to cleansing, stir-frying and vinegar processing. Nowadays, the commonly used specifications include raw, fried and vinegar-processed products. Among the three specifications, raw products is the Olibanum after cleansing, fried products is a kind of Olibanum processed by frying method, vinegar-processed products is the processed products of pure frankincense mixed with vinegar. Based on the research results, it is recommended to select the resin exuded from the bark of B. carterii for the famous classical formulas such as Juanbitang containing Olibanum, processing method should be carried out in accordance with the processing requirements of the formulas, otherwise used the raw products if the formulas without clear processing requirements.

A deep learning-based model for automatic diagnosis and classification of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis has been constructed.This model mainly included key points detection and Cobb angle measurement.748 full-length standing spinal X-ray images were retrospectively collected,of which 602 images were used to train and validate the model,and 146 images were used to test the model performance.The results showed that the model had good diagnostic and classification performance,with an accuracy of 94.5%.Compared with experts'measurement,94.9%of its Cobb angle measurement results were within the clinically acceptable range.The average absolute difference was 2.1°,and the consistency was also excellent(r2≥0.9552,P<0.001).In the future,this model could be applied clinically to improve doctors'diagnostic efficiency.
