Objective To investigate the expression and prognostic correlation of serum lipoprotein phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2),pentamerin 3(PTX3)and high mobility group protein B1(HMGB1)in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI)after thrombolytic therapy.Methods A retrospective study was conduct on 190 ACI patients admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Tangzhishan Vocational and Technical College from May 2020 to October 2024(observation group),and another 190 healthy individuals taking health checkup in the hospital during same period(control group).According to the severity of ACI,the observation group were divided into mild,moderate and severe subgroups(66,80 and 44 cases,respectively).According to the clinical outcomes after follow-up,the observation group were also divided into a good prognosis group(120 cases)and a poor prognosis group(70 cases).The levels of serum Lp-PLA2,PTX3,and HMGB1 were compared in the groups.Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the cor-relation between the levels and disease severity.The factors affecting the prognosis of ACI pa-tients were analyzed,and the prognostic value of the three indicators for ACI after thrombolytic therapy was evaluate.Results The serum levels of Lp-PLA2,PTX3 and HMGB1 were signifi-cantly higher in the observation group than the control group(P＜0.01),and were gradually decreased in the mild,moderate and severe subgroups in turn(P＜0.05).Spearman correlation analysis showed that the levels of the three indicators were positively correlated with the severity of disease in ACI thrombolytic patients(r=0.579,r=0.689,r=0.592,P＜0.01).The poor prog-nosis group exhibited significantly more lesions,larger cerebral infarcts,longer time from onset to thrombolysis,higher NHISS score at admission and elevated levels of serum Lp-PLA2,PTX3 and HMGB1 than the good prognosis group(P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression results indica-ted that number of lesions,volume of cerebral infarcts,time from onset to thrombolysis,NIHSS score at admission and high serum Lp-PLA2,PTX3 and HMGB1 levels were risk factors for poor prognosis in patients with ACI thrombolysis(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis revealed that serum Lp-PLA2,PTX3 and HMGB1 levels in predicting poor prognosis of ACI patients after thrombo-lytic therapy,had an AUC value of 0.928,0.971 and 0.860,respectively.Conclusion In ACI patients treated with thrombolytic therapy,serum Lp-PLA2,PTX3 and HMGB1 levels are posi-tively correlated with the severity of the disease.PTX3 has a certain predictive value for prognosis in the patients.

ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy and safety of Guben Quyu Jiedu prescription in treating nocturnal hypoxemia of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease （COPD） combined with Obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome （ OSAHS ） （deficiency of lung， spleen and kidney with blood stasis and toxicity）. MethodsThe paper used a forward-looking， random double-blind， placebo-controlled design method to select 96 patients with COPD combined with OSAHS， and their traditional Chinese medicines （TCM） syndrome differentiation was deficiency of lung， spleen and kidney with blood stasis and toxicity. These patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group， with 48 cases in each group. Based on conventional Western medicine treatment， the observation group was treated with Guben Quyu Jiedu prescription and the control group was treated with traditional Chinese medicine placebo. Both courses of treatment were 90 days. Then the paper compared the changes in minimum pulse oxygen saturation （SpO₂） during the night， apnea index （AHI）， OSAHS efficacy evaluation， TCM syndrome efficacy evaluation， and TCM symptom score before and after treatment between the two groups. ResultsThere were 5 withdrawals in the observation group and 8 withdrawals in the control group， so 43 cases in the observation group and 40 cases in the control group completed the trial. Compared with the condition before treatment， the minimum SpO₂ during the night and AHI in the observation group were significantly improved at night （P<0.01） and were better than those in the control group （P<0.01）. OSAHS efficacy in the observation group was better than in the control group （χ²=7.085， P<0.05）. In terms of TCM syndrome efficacy， the total effective rate was 81.40% （35/43） in the observation group， significantly higher than that in the control group， which was 15.00% （6/40） （χ²=36.78， P<0.01）. The TCM symptom scores of the two groups were improved compared with the condition before treatment， and the effect of the two groups was similar in the four main symptoms of snoring， choking， lethargy， and cough. However， the observation group was better than the control group in 10 details such as dizziness， headache， chest tightness， chest pain， wheezing， dry mouth， and thirst （P<0.05）. ConclusionUsing Guben Quyu Jiedu prescription combined with conventional Western medicine can treat COPD combined with OSAHS hypoxemia at night （deficiency of lung， spleen and kidney with blood stasis and toxicity）. In this way， the minimum pulse oxygen saturation （SpO₂） of patients， the level of disease control， and the quality of life of patients can be improved， and the clinical symptoms can be relieved.

Cytoglobin(Cygb)is a recently discov-ered astrocyte specific globin that is widely distrib-uted in mammalian visceral organs such as the lung,heart,spleen,liver,pancreas,stomach,small intestine,kidney,neuron,and bone tissue.It plays an important role in clearing reactive oxygen spe-cies,nitric oxide and nitrite signal transduction,al-leviating oxidative stress,anti-fibrosis,regulation of cell apoptosis and treatment of cancer,etc.It is worth noting that the anti-fibrosis role of Cygb has attracted increasing attention in recent years.The existing research has involved various fibrotic dis-eases such as the liver,pancreas,kidney,spleen,etc.,especially in the study of liver fibrosis,which has made great progress.This article system re-views the role of Cygb in various fibrotic diseases,with a focus on its mechanism of alleviating oxida-tive stress.Although the application of Cygb in fi-brotic diseases is still in its infancy and the underly-ing mechanisms still require extensive research and exploration,there is no doubt that Cygb can serve as a promising therapeutic target,with the poten-tial to be widely used in the prevention and treat-ment of fibrotic diseases.

Bronchial asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory airway disease.Its pathogenesis is closely associated with abnormal immune responses within T-helper(Th)cell subsets,characterized by excessive effector Th cell activation and impaired immunosuppression by regulatory T cells.The concept of natural harmony of yin-yang epitomizes the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)of the body's inherent capacity for autonomous regulation and homeostasis maintenance.Building upon the description in the Inner Canon of Yellow Emperor regarding asthma as"internal yin qi contention,external yang qi interference,"this study aims to bridge the TCM macro-level etiology and pathogenesis of"yin-yang disharmony"with the Western micro-level mechanism of loss of immune homeostasis control.The core pathogenesis of bronchial asthma involves yin-yang disorder in the body,leading to internal-external imbalance.Yang deficiency with a hidden yin pathogen and intermingled phlegm with blood stasis in the lungs is the root of pathogenesis.Pathogenic invading qi and yang hyperactivity induce bronchial asthma.These align with the Western medical concepts of imbalanced immunometabolic self-stabilization and defective immunotolerance.Based on the above content,corresponding therapeutic principles are proposed according to the disease stage.In the acute phase,dispelling wind pathogens and relieving cough are recommended.In chronic persistent asthma,calming yang disturbance and resolving the yin conflict are emphasized.In the clinical remission phase,kidney yang should be warmed and invigorated,thereby consolidating body resistance.The corresponding treatment methods are implemented based on the above content.In the acute phase,self-made Mahuang Qingyang Decoction is administered to dispel wind pathogens and ventilate lung qi.In chronic persistent asthma,self-made Qingfei Xiegan Decoction is administered to clear liver-fire and purge the lungs,self-made Xuanfu Qingwei Decoction is employed to harmonize the stomach for descending adverse yang qi,modified Suzi Jiangqi Decoction is applied to conduct deficient yang back to its source,and modified Erchen Decoction and Taohong Siwu Decoction are utilized to expel phlegm and blood stasis.In the clinical remission phase,modified Sijunzi Decoction,modified Mahuang Fuzi Xixin Decoction,and Erxian Decoction are administered to invigorate the spleen and kidney.These approaches ward off yang disturbance and resolve yin contention to restore the body's normal immune homeostasis.The ultimate therapeutic aim is to achieve a state of natural harmony of yin-yang,thereby ceasing wheezing and coughing spontaneously,and to provide new ideas for clinical treatment of bronchial asthma.
