As a distinctive resource of Chinese civilization， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） technology transfer faces significant opportunities under the background of digital and intelligent transformation， while also being constrained by unique challenges such as the complexity of its theoretical system， lengthy industrial chains， and multidimensional policy restrictions， resulting in a "high-value-high-threshold" paradox. At present， TCM technology transfer is deeply trapped in a "threefold reluctance" dilemma， i.e.， unwillingness to transfer， inability to transfer， and lack of capacity to transfer. Specifically， the disconnection between scientific research evaluation systems and market demand leads to low conversion rates of research achievements， unclear ownership and compliance risks suppress innovation incentives， and the absence of professional services intensifies supply-demand mismatches. This article systematically analyzes the specific characteristics of TCM technology transfer and proposes a breakthrough pathway centered on full-chain digital and intelligent transformation. By integrating technologies such as intelligent sorting systems， blockchain-based traceability， and AI diagnostic models， the TCM ecosystem spanning "cultivation-production-service" can be reconstructed. In terms of standardization， promoting the progression from "experience-based data conversion" to "data standardization" and further to "intelligent standardization" is advocated to resolve quality control challenges. For example， a "three-no-one-full" certification system can strengthen quality trust. Policy coordination should focus on optimizing mechanisms for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements， while exploring intellectual property securitization and risk-sharing models to stimulate research momentum. In terms of internationalization， reliance on the Belt and Road Initiative platform to promote the export of geo-authentic medicinal material brands and standards is recommended to build a dual-driven model of "technology plus culture". Looking ahead， through the construction of national-level databases， the cultivation of interdisciplinary talent， and the mutual recognition of international standards， a new paradigm of "scientific intelligent manufacturing" can be formed， providing systematic solutions for the modernization of TCM and global health governance.

Diabetic nephropathy（DN） is a common and severe microvascular complication of diabetes. In recent years， the classical herbal formula Shenqi dihuang decoction has demonstrated unique advantages in the clinical treatment of DN. This article conducts a systematic review of the mechanisms of action and clinical applications of Shenqi dihuang decoction in the treatment of DN. It reveals that the mechanism by which this formula improves DN involves multi-target synergistic regulation. For instance, Shenqi dihuang decoction exerts multiple pharmacological effects by regulating signaling pathways including phosphatidy linostiol 3-kinase/protein kinase B， AMP-activated protein kinase/silent information regulator 1/forkhead box O1， and nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/heme oxygenase-1 pathways.These effects include regulating glucose and lipid metabolism， inhibiting oxidative stress， reducing inflammation， improving insulin resistance， modulating cell death （apoptosis/autophagy/ferroptosis/pyroptosis）， and preventing renal fibrosis. Existing clinical studies indicate that Shenqi dihuang decoction and its modified formulas， alone or in combination with other therapeutic methods， can significantly improve glucose and lipid metabolism， reduce proteinuria， and delay renal function decline in patients with DN. These effects are superior to those of Western medicines such as irbesartan， valsartan， and empagliflozin， and the treatment demonstrates good safety. Future research should leverage systems biology and artificial intelligence technologies to further elucidate the integrated mechanisms in the treatment of DN by Shenqi dihuang decoction， thereby advancing the precision and standardization of its clinical application.

ObjectiveTo explore the 28-day mortality risk of Klebsiella pneumoniae (KP) bloodstream infections (BSI) and its related influencing factors, thereby providing a scientific basis for the effective control of KP-BSI and improvement of patient prognosis. MethodsFrom January 2018 to December 2024, a retrospective review was conducted on hospitalized patients aged >18 years old treated for KP-BSI at a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou. Logistic and Cox regression analyses were performed to identify the epidemiological characteristics and the risk factors for the 28-day mortality associated with KP-BSI. ResultsA total of 123 patients with KP-BSI were included in this study, comprising 64 cases infected with carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) and 59 cases infected with carbapenem-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae (CSKP). Compared with CSKP-BSI, patients with CRKP-BSI more frequently presented with chronic pulmonary disease (χ²=4.29, P=0.038), concomitant infections at other sites (χ²=10.90, P=0.001), and a higher frequency of invasive procedures prior to infection (central venous catheterization, mechanical ventilation, and indwelling urinary catheter), as well as glucocorticoid use, hemodialysis, and blood transfusion (all P<0.05). The 28-day mortality was significantly higher in BSI cases caused by CRKP compared to that caused by CSKP (37.50% vs 5.08%, P<0.001). Cox regression analyses revealed that carbapenem resistance (HR=6.67, 95%CI: 1.48‒30.08, P=0.014) and blood transfusion (HR=3.58, 95%CI: 1.15‒11.19, P=0.028) were risk factors for the 28-day mortality in KP-BSI, while removal of central venous catheters after infection (HR=0.24, 95%CI: 0.08‒0.67, P=0.006) was associated with a reduced risk for the 28-day mortality. ConclusionCarbapenem resistance is associated with mortality outcomes in patients with KP-BSI. Strengthening infection control measures targeting the identified risk factors for CRKP-BSI may improve patient prognosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the antiviral efficacy of pegylated interferon α-2b （PEG-IFN-α-2b） in patients with HBV-related liver cirrhosis， to assess the safety and tolerability of this regimen， and to provide evidence-based medical evidence for optimizing the treatment strategies for patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis. MethodsA prospective study was conducted among 115 patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis and 114 patients with CHB who attended Third People’s Hospital of Taiyuan from January 2023 to March 2024. Treatment-naïve patients received PEG-IFN-α-2b monotherapy， while the patients once treated with nucleos（t）ide analogues （NAs） received PEG-IFN-α-2b add-on therapy. The patients with HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis were followed up at baseline and at 12， 24， 36， and 48 weeks of treatment. Samples were collected from CHB patients at baseline and at the end of follow-up to assess virological indicators， routine blood test results， and liver function. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups； the independent samples t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the one-way repeated measures analysis of variance was used for comparison among different time ponts within the same group，and the Bonferroni was applied for post-hoc pairwise comparisons； the Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between two groups， and the Friedman test was used for comparison across different time points within the same group， and the Nemenyi test was utilized for subsequent pairwise comparisons. The multivariate stepwise Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the influencing factors for clinical cure. ResultsCompared with the CHB group， the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had a significantly higher mean age （43.50±9.97 years vs 40.90±8.16 years， t=2.160， P=0.032）， a significantly higher proportion of patients with hepatitis B e antigen at baseline （28.70% vs 15.79%， χ²=4.788， P=0.029）， and a significantly lower platelet level ［（178.67±55.07）×10⁹/L vs （194.93±55.79）×10⁹/L， t=2.217， P=0.028］. Compared with the CHB group at the end of follow-up， the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had significantly lower HBV surface antigen （HBsAg） clearance rate （10.38% vs 33.04%， χ²=14.988， P<0.001） and HBV surface antibody positive rate （0.00% vs 19.64%， χ²=21.041， P<0.001）. Compared with the CHB group at the end of follow-up，the HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis group had significantly lower aminotransferase levels ［ALT： 31.00（19.00～47.50） U/L vs 40.00（27.00～57.00） U/L， Z=2.433， P<0.05； AST： 31.00（23.00～45.50） U/L vs 37.00（25.00～52.00） U/L， Z=1.963， P<0.05］， but significantly higher level of white blood cells （WBC） ［（4.02±1.56）×10⁹/L vs （3.59±1.24）×10⁹/L， t=2.272， P<0.05］， neutrophils ［（2.39±1.17）×10⁹/L vs （1.87±0.94）×10⁹/L， t=3.284， P<0.05］， and platelets ［（143.93±68.10）×10⁹/L vs （121.88±49.72）×10⁹/L， t=2.588， P<0.05］. A lower level of HBsAg （OR=0.997， 95%CI： 0.996　—　0.999， P<0.001） and previous treatment with NAs （OR=5.889， 95%CI： 2.195　—　17.330， P<0.001） were positive predictive factors for clinical cure， while liver cirrhosis （OR=0.177， 95%CI： 0.063　—　0.470， P<0.001） was a negative predictive factor for clinical cure. During follow-up， no patients experienced acute decompensation or progression to hepatocellular carcinoma， and the main adverse events included fever， fatigue， reductions in WBC and platelets， weight loss， alopecia， and thyroid dysfunction. In the subgroup analysis of HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis， in both the treatment-naïve patients and the patients previously treated with NAs， there was a significant reduction in HBsAg level from baseline to week 36 of treatment ［treatment-naïve： 99.25 （5.87　—　1 212.35） IU/mL vs 403.47 （36.94　—　2 569.02） IU/mL， P<0.05； previously treated with NAs： 205.94 （14.00　—　737.80） IU/mL vs 427.03 （65.64　—　1 552.65） IU/mL， P<0.05］ and week 48 of treatment ［treatment-naïve： 85.45 （0.58　—　827.56） IU/mL vs 403.47 （36.94　—　2 569.02） IU/mL， P<0.05； previously treated with NAs： 45.28 （0.16　—　267.27） IU/mL vs 427.03 （65.64　—　1 552.65） IU/mL， P<0.05］. There were significant increases in the levels of aminotransferases during treatment， as well as significant reductions in the levels of WBC， neutrophils， platelets， and hemoglobin （all P<0.05）. ConclusionAlthough a finite course of PEG-IFN-α-2b therapy has achieved a relatively low rate of clinical cure in the treatment of HBV-related compensated liver cirrhosis， it can still significantly reduce the level of HBsAg， and this treatment regimen has good safety and tolerability， without accelerating disease progression.

Methods: Seventy-five patients with atlas fracture were included from January 2015 to December 2020. Based on the anatomy of the fracture line, atlas fractures were divided into three types. Each type was divided into two subtypes according to the fracture displacement. Unweighted Cohen kappa coefficients were applied to evaluate the reliability and reproducibility. Results: According to the new classification, 17 cases of type A1, 12 of type A2, seven of type B1, 13 of type B2, 12 of type C1, and 14 of type C2 were identified. The K-values of the interobserver and intraobserver reliability were 0.846 and 0.912, respectively, for the new classification. The K-values of interobserver reliability for types A, B, and C were 0.843, 0.799, and 0.898, respectively. The K-values of intraobserver reliability for types A, B, and C were 0.888, 0.910, and 0.935, respectively. The mean K-values of the interobserver and intraobserver reliability for subtypes were 0.687 and 0.829, respectively. Conclusions The new classification of atlas fractures can cover nearly all atlas fractures. This system is the first to evaluate the severity of fractures based on the C1 articular facet and fracture displacement and strengthen the anatomy ring of the atlas. It is concise, easy to remember, reliable, and reproducible.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the contrast-enhanced ultrasound with Sonazoid (Sonazoid-CEUS) features of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods: In this retrospective study, patients who underwent surgical resection and were histopathologically diagnosed with NAFLD or cirrhosis-related HCC were included. All patients received Sonazoid-CEUS examinations within 1 week prior to hepatic surgery. The enhancement patterns of HCC lesions were evaluated and compared between the two groups according to the current World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology guidelines. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the correlations between Sonazoid-CEUS enhancement patterns and clinicopathologic characteristics. Results: From March 2022 to April 2023, a total of 151 patients with HCC were included, comprising 72 with NAFLD-related HCC and 79 with hepatitis B virus (HBV) cirrhosis–related HCC. On Sonazoid-CEUS, more than half of the NAFLD-related HCCs exhibited relatively early and mild washout within 60 seconds (54.2%, 39/72), whereas most HBV cirrhosis–related HCCs displayed washout between 60 and 120 seconds (46.8%, 37/79) or after 120 seconds (39.2%, 31/79) (P<0.001). In the patients with NAFLD-related HCC, multivariate analysis revealed that international normalized ratio (odds ratio [OR], 0.002; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.000 to 0.899; P=0.046) and poor tumor differentiation (OR, 21.930; 95% CI, 1.960 to 245.319; P=0.012) were significantly associated with washout occurring within 60 seconds. Conclusion Characteristic Sonazoid-CEUS features are useful for diagnosing HCC in patients with NAFLD.
