Based on the theory of "spleen functions as wei qi"， this paper believes that the disease mechanism of allergic rhinitis （AR） in children is the nasal dysfunction caused by the loss of spleen's wei qi. The root cause of AR is the failure of splenic transportation as well as its inability to properly distribute nutrients. The inducement of AR is the invasion of pathogenic qi coupled with insecurity of the wei exterior. The key to AR recurrence lies in the deficiency of healthy qi and lingering of pathogenic qi， with pathogenic qi lodging inside the body. The treatment should adhere to the principle of helping the spleen restore wei qi. During the acute phase， the treatment should dispel wind， conso-lidate the wei qi， and relieve stuffy orifices， and the modified Qufeng Tongqiao Decoction （祛风通窍汤） is used. During the remission phase， the treatment should fortify the spleen， raise the clear， and harmonize the wei qi， and the modified Yuhan Decoction （御寒汤） is applied. During the recovery phase， the treatment should reinforce the healthy qi， consolidate the constitution， and strengthen the wei qi， and the modified Huangqi Jianzhong Decoction （黄芪建中汤） is employed.

Objective To construct intrauterine adhesion (IUA) mouse models induced by two different concentrations of ethanol injury, compare the phenotypes, and optimize a more stable IUA modeling method. Methods Twenty 8-week-old female C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into two groups: the 95% ethanol injury group and the 50% ethanol injury group. Using a self-control method, the left uterine horn was infused with ethanol to establish the IUA model, while the right uterine horn was infused with saline as the sham operation. Five mice from each group were euthanized on day 7 and 15 after modeling, and uterine tissues were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the endometrial pathology, and Masson staining was used to assess the degree of endometrial fibrosis. Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to detect the expression levels of fibrosis markers and pro-inflammatory factors in the uterine tissues. Results Compared to the sham operation, these two ethanol injury led to a significant reduction in elasticity of the uterus, an increase in inflammatory infiltration, and a marked increase in the degree of fibrosis on day 7 after modeling (P<0.05). The 95% ethanol injury group showed a significant decrease in endometrial thickness (P<0.05), whereas no significant change was observed in the 50% ethanol injury group when compared to the sham operation (P>0.05). The expression levels of fibrotic marker molecules collagen type Ⅳ alpha 1 chain (Col4A1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were significantly elevated in the 50% ethanol injury group when compared to the sham operation (P<0.05), although there was an increasing trend of the same markers in the 95% ethanol injury group, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). On day 15 after modeling, the histopathological changes in both ethanol injury groups were not significant when compared to the sham operation, the expression levels of Col4A1, TGF-β, TNF-α and IL-1β remained significantly higher in the 50% ethanol injury group (P<0.05), while only IL-1β was significantly elevated in the 95% ethanol injury group (P<0.05). Conclusion Uterine infusion with 95% ethanol results in more marked histopathological changes in the IUA mouse model compared to the 50% ethanol injury group. The 95% ethanol injury model is suitable for histopathological studies. However, the 50% ethanol injury group shows higher expression levels of fibrosis markers and pro-inflammatory factors compared to the 95% ethanol injury group, suggesting that the 50% ethanol injury model is more suitable for molecular pathological study.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of myrislignan（MRL）on concanavalin A（Con A）-induced autoimmune hepatitis（AIH）.Methods:C57BL/6J mice were divided into the following groups using a random number table，with five mice in each group：control group，MRL group，model group（Con A group），and MRL pretreatment group（MRL+Con A group）. MRL was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 30 μg/g；3 h after pretreatment，Con A（18 μg/g）was administrated by intravenous injection；mouse livers and serum samples were collected 12 h after injection for measuring serum transaminase levels and liver cell apoptosis. The mRNA and protein expression levels of IL-6，IL-12，and TNF-α were measured using qRT-PCR and ELISA. Flow cytometry was performed to detect the proportion and activation status of macrophages in liver tissues. Bone marrow-derived macrophages（BMDMs）were isolated and induced in vitro to analyze the regulatory effect of MRL on macrophages. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the differences in various indicators among groups. Results:Compared with the Con A group，MRL（30 μg/g）pretreatment significantly reduced alanine aminotransferase（ P<0.05）and aspartate transaminase（ P<0.01）levels，attenuated liver oxidative stress（increased superoxide dismutase activity，while decreased levels of malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase；all P<0.05），and suppressed hepatocyte apoptosis（ P<0.01）. Both in vivo and in vitro experiments confirmed that MRL（30 μg/g）could reduce the proportion of M1 macrophages（ in vivo： P<0.05； in vitro：all P<0.001）and inhibit macrophage activation（ in vivo： P<0.01； in vitro：all P<0.05）. Conclusion:MRL effectively prevents Con A-induced autoimmune hepatitis by inhibiting liver cell apoptosis，attenuating liver oxidative stress，suppressing M1 macrophage polarization，and reducing inflammatory cytokine expression.

Objective:To investigate the association between urinary arsenic, selenium, and chromium levels and the risk and predisposing factors of diabetes mellitus in people with previous endemic arsenic exposure.Methods:From September to December 2024, 240 residents in the drinking-water-borne endemic arsenic disease area in Hohhot were taken as the study subjects. They were divided into an exposed group ( n = 91) and a non-exposed group ( n = 149) based on whether they had suffered from arsenism in the past. The exposed group was further divided into diabetes and non diabetes subgroups ( n = 54, 37) based on the prevalence of diabetes, and the diabetes subgroup was further divided into type 1 and type 2 diabetes subgroups ( n = 23, 31) based on the type of diabetes. Questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate the basic situation, measure fasting blood glucose, and determine the levels of arsenic, selenium, and chromium in urine by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to assess the risk factors of diabetes mellitus. Results:The difference of prevalence of diabetes mellitus was statistically significant between the exposed group and non-exposed group [59.3% (54/91) vs. 41.6% (62/149), χ2 = 7.11, P = 0.008]. The levels of urinary arsenic, selenium, and chromium in the exposed group were higher than those in the non-exposed group ( t = - 2.00, - 2.14, - 2.18, P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differences in urinary arsenic level, body mass index (BMI), the distribution of age, smoking status, and gender between the diabetes patients and non-diabetes patients in the exposed group ( t = 2.20, 3.57, χ2 = 10.76, 5.23, 4.01, P < 0.05). The difference of urinary arsenic levels were statistically significant between patients with type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes in the exposed group ( t = - 2.06, P = 0.048). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that BMI, age, sex, smoking, and urinary arsenic levels were risk factors for diabetes ( P < 0.05). For every 1-unit increase in urinary arsenic, fasting blood glucose levels increased by 0.057 times (95% CI: 0.018 - 0.103, P = 0.029). Conclusions:There is a significant correlation between the urine arsenic level of people with previous endemic arsenic exposure and diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes. Men, smoking, overweight, age ≥65 years, and high urinary arsenic level are risk factors for diabetes.

BACKGROUND:The elastic modulus of bone-cartilage integration scaffolds differs significantly from that of natural bone-cartilage tissue,which can lead to a stress shield effect.As a result,the implants become loose and deformed,affecting the repair of osteochondral tissue.Cell gradient scaffolds made by axial direction three-period minimal surface have the same porosity and elasticity modulus as the human body,which provides a new idea for bone-cartilage scaffold design.OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of cell type and pore size on the mechanical properties of cell gradient scaffolds.METHODS:Three basic cells of Gyroid(G)type,Diamond(D)type,and Primitive(P)type were used.Through mathematical modeling of three-period minimal surface,different sizes and types of cells were used in the gradient region.A total of six kinds of cell gradient scaffolds(G-2P-4D,P-2D-4G,D-2P-4D,G-2D-4P,P-2G-4D,and D-2G-4P)were constructed and mechanical experiments and simulation experiments were conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of the scaffolds.Flow performance parameters of the fluids in the scaffolds were obtained through computational fluid dynamics simulation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Finite element mechanical simulation and compression experiment showed that P-2G-4D and P-2D-4G with the highest elastic modulus(148.67 MPa and 152.1 MPa),bearing a higher body load,improved the stability of the scaffold.The stress distribution in D-2P-4G was even and effectively reduced stress concentration,so that the connection function area could effectively transfer stress and reduce stress shielding.Flow rate was changing the least in G-2D-4P(0.10-0.48 mm/s).Permeability was higher than other scaffolds so that body fluids were able to flow though the gradient scaffold after implantation.This design method provides a new idea for the design of osteochondral scaffolds,and the simulation analysis results also provide a reference for the prediction of bone integration after implantation of scaffolds.

Objective To establish a scheme of immunosuppressant(tacrolimus)tube administration after lung transplantation and evaluate the effect.Methods Utilizing evidence summary and the Delphi method with the Structure-Process-Outcome(SPO)model,a tacrolimus administrating via feeding tubes scheme was established for lung transplantations,incorporating 5 aspects"medication management""risk assessment""enteral feeding implementation""process monitoring"and"evaluation and feedback"from July to September 2023.A convenience sampling method was employed to select patients with lung transplant surgery of a tertiary hospital in Zhejiang Province from November 2023 to June 2024.Among them,18 patients admitted from March to June 2024 were designated as an experimental group,receiving the developed tacrolimus enteral feeding administration plan;18 patients admitted from November 2023 to February 2024 were designated as a control group,receiving standard enteral feeding administration measures.The standard trough concentration of tacrolimus,the coefficient of variation of tacrolimus trough concentration,the daily dosage of tacrolimus and its coefficient of variation,and the rate of achieving the target trough concentration of tacrolimus were compared between the 2 groups.Results Of the initially recruited subjects,15 in the experimental group and 18 in the control group were included in the final analysis.After intervention,the coefficient of variation of trough concentrations and daily doses of tacrolimus in the experimental group were lower than those in the control group,while the rate of achieving target trough concentrations was higher,with all differences being statistically significant(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the comparison of standardized blood drug concentrations and the coefficient of variation of daily doses between the 2 groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The tacrolimus administrating via feeding tubes scheme for lung transplantations based on the SPO model is scientific and practical,providing clinical references for the use of tacrolimus enteral medication after lung transplantation,in order to promote the standardization of tacrolimus enteral administration.

Objective:To investigate the related factors of cognitive impairment in middle-aged and old-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:A total of 970 patients with T2DM(585 middle-aged group and 385 old-aged group)were selected from residents of a large community in Beijing from September to December 2018.The Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)was used to assess the cognitive func-tion.Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the related factors.Results:The detection rates of cognitive impairment were 12.0％and 13.5％in middle-aged and old-aged patients with T2DM,respectively.Among mid-dle-aged patients with T2DM,work(OR=0.22,95％CI:0.03-0.77)and education at the junior college or un-dergraduate level and above(OR=0.18,95％CI:0.04-0.55)were protective factors for cognitive impair-ment.Myocardial infarction(OR=4.13,95％CI:1.26-13.63)was a risk factor for cognitive impairment.Among old-aged patients with T2DM,drinking tea 1-2 times a week(OR=0.11,95％CI:0.01-0.58)and education at the junior college or undergraduate level and above(OR=0.19,95％CI:0.05-0.54)were protective factors for cognitive impairment.Stroke(OR=3.64,95％CI:1.55-8.39)and good sleep self-assessment(OR=2.75,95％CI:1.13-7.35)were risk factors for cognitive impairment.Conclusion:Cognitive impairment in middle-aged pa-tients with T2DM is related to work,education level and myocardial infarction,and cognitive impairment in old-aged patients with T2DM is related to lifestyle,education level and stroke.

Objective:To investigate the incidence of basal ganglia calcification (BGC), and risk factors for BGC in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients.Methods:A total of 730 patients with nervous system diseases hospitalized in Department of Neurology, Shanghai Punan Hospital of Pudong New Area from January 2023 to December 2023 were enrolled. These patients were divided into AIS group ( n=380) and non-AIS group ( n=350). Propensity score matching (PSM) was firstly used for 1:1 matching to eliminate the differences in baseline data of these patients; BGC incidence was compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses were used to screen the independent risk factors for BGC in AIS patients. Results:After PSM, there were 251 patients in the AIS group and 251 patients in the non-AIS group. No significant difference was noted between the two groups in age, gender, histories of hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, smoking and drinking, ratio of previous stroke, and serum calcium, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, homocysteine, uric acid, estimated glomerular filtration rate, or parathyroid hormone ( P>0.05). BGC incidence in the AIS group was 33.1% (83/251), with mild BGC in 55 patients (21.9%), moderate BGC in 19 patients (7.6%), and severe BGC in 9 patients (3.6%). BGC incidence in the AIS group was significantly higher than that in the non-AIS group (33.1% vs. 16.7%, P<0.05). Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses showed that female ( OR=1.842, 95% CI: 1.021-3.324, P=0.043) and diabetes ( OR=1.953, 95% CI: 1.205-3.167, P=0.007) were independent risk factors for BGC in AIS patients. Conclusion:Compared with non-AIS patients, AIS patients trend to have BGC; female AIS patients with diabetes mellitus are more likely to have BGC.

To summarize Professor DING Ying's clinical experience in treating children's IgA nephropathy from the perspective of "wind-induced water turbidity". It is believed that the core pathogenesis of IgA nephropathy in children is the wind stimμlating water to become turbidity， and the basic treatment principles are to eliminate wind and settle viscera， and to remove turbidity and drain water. For those with the syndrome of wind-heat invading the lungs and injury to blood collaterals， modified Yinqiao Powder （银翘散） combined with Xiaoji Decoction （小蓟饮子） could be used； for those with dampness-heat in Sanjiao， heavy dampness and light heat pattern， modified Sanren Decoction （三仁汤） combined with Bazheng Powder （八正散） could be used； for those with lung-spleen qi deficiency and kidney essence depletion pattern， modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction （补中益气汤） combined with Wuzi Yanzong Pill （五子衍宗丸） could be used； for those with deficiency of both qi and yin， kidney deficiency with stasis pattern， self-prescribed Yishen Huazhuo Formula （益肾化浊方） could be used. Meanwhile on the basis of pattern identification and treatment， rattan-type herbs could be combined in use in order to unblock the meridians and collaterals.
