To explore the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） and integrative TCM-Western medicine approaches in the treatment of diabetic microvascular complications （DMC）， refine key pathophysiological insights and treatment principles， and promote academic innovation and strategic research planning in the prevention and treatment of DMC. The 38th session of the Expert Salon on Diseases Responding Specifically to Traditional Chinese Medicine， hosted by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， was held in Beijing， 2024. Experts in TCM， Western medicine， and interdisciplinary fields convened to conduct a systematic discussion on the pathogenesis， diagnostic and treatment challenges， and mechanism research related to DMC， ultimately forming a consensus on key directions. Four major research recommendations were proposed. The first is addressing clinical bottlenecks in the prevention and control of DMC by optimizing TCM-based evidence evaluation systems. The second is refining TCM core pathogenesis across DMC stages and establishing corresponding "disease-pattern-time" framework. The third is innovating mechanism research strategies to facilitate a shift from holistic regulation to targeted intervention in TCM. The fourth is advancing interdisciplinary collaboration to enhance the role of TCM in new drug development， research prioritization， and guideline formulation. TCM and integrative approaches offer distinct advantages in managing DMC. With a focus on the diseases responding specifically to TCM， strengthening evidence-based support and mechanism interpretation and promoting the integration of clinical care and research innovation will provide strong momentum for the modernization of TCM and the advancement of national health strategies.

Objective To explore the clinical application of individualized coil embolization in the interventional treatment of renal artery aneurysm(RAA).Methods Data of 23 patients with RAA treated by individualized coil embolization were analyzed.There were 27 RAAs,in which narrow-necked RAAs were treated with coil embolization and wide-necked RAAs were treated with stent-assisted coil embolization.The efficacy of the two embolization methods were analyzed and the changes of renal function and symptoms were observed.Results A total of 27 RAAs in 23 patients were successfully embolized at one time,including 23 narrow-necked RAAs in 19 cases treated with coil embolization and 4 wide-necked RAAs in 4 patients treated with stent-assisted coil embolization.The embolization effect of 20 cases(86.96%)reached Raymond grade Ⅰ,and 3 cases(13.04%)reached gradeⅡ.Postoperative computed tomography angiography(CTA)showed that all parent arteries were patent,the RAA was not visualized,and there was no renal infarction.There was no statistical difference in creatinine values before operation,1 month,6 months and 1 year after operation(P>0.05).In the 12 patients with hypertension,there were statistically significant differences in blood pressure at 1 year after operation compared with preoperative,1 month,and 6 months after operation(P<0.05).The symptoms of low back pain and hematuria disappeared after operation.Conclusion Individualized coil embolization for RAA is safe,effective and worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To analyze and understand the level of occupational external radiation personal dose of radiation workers in a hospital, and provide a reference for radiation protection.Methods:In May 2023, the personal dose monitoring data of all radiation workers in the hospital from 2018 to 2022 were collected, and their occupational external radiation exposure levels were analyzed and evaluated. All radiation workers were divided into radiation diagnosis, radiotherapy, interventional radiology, and nuclear medicine according to their occupational categories.Results:A total of 1626 person-times were monitored from 2018 to 2022, and the average annual effective dose per person (0.13-0.36 mSV) was lower than the national limit of 20 mSv. The average annual dose of nuclear medicine was the highest (0.36 mSv), and interventional radiology was lower (0.13 mSv). The average annual dose of individuals was the highest in 2020 (0.24 mSv) .Conclusion:The average annual effective dose per person of radiation workers in this hospital is lower than the national standard, and it is still necessary to strengthen the inspection of the wearing of personal dosimeters and the using of protective equipment for radiation workers.

BACKGROUND:Inhibitory control and drug craving are the core elements of evaluating drug withdrawal in methamphetamine addicts,which has attracted much attention in academic circles.As we all know,in order to achieve complete abstinence from drug addiction,the key is to restore the damaged inhibition and control function of drug addicts and effectively reduce the craving for drugs. OBJECTIVE:To systematically analyze the relationship between exercise and methamphetamine abstinence inhibitory control and drug craving,to find out an effective exercise intervention scheme that can promote methamphetamine abstinence,and to further explore the internal mechanism of exercise,in order to provide theoretical support and applied reference for the future use of exercise in drug withdrawal. METHODS:CNKI,WanFang,VIP,Web of Science,and PubMed databases were searched for relevant literature using the keywords of"exercise,physical activity,methamphetamine,inhibitory function,craving,addiction"in Chinese and"sport*,exercise,methamphetamine,drug craving,executive function,addiction"in English.According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria,86 documents were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In terms of inhibitory control in methamphetamine abstinent individuals,either acute and long-term moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or acute high-intensity interval training can significantly improve the inhibitory control capacity of methamphetamine abstinent individuals.For long-term aerobic exercise,aerobic group exercise or full-body comprehensive exercise is more effective.If the exercise format is power cycling,it is recommended to increase the frequency of exercise intervention.In terms of the drug craving intensity in methamphetamine abstinent individuals,acute moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and resistance training,as well as long-term moderate-intensity,high-intensity,or progressive load aerobic and resistance training,can effectively reduce the drug craving in methamphetamine abstinent individuals.Exercise exerts intrinsic regulatory effects on methamphetamine-mediated addiction.Exercise can influence the expression of tyrosine hydroxylase in the brain's ventral tegmental area,thereby stimulating the expression of dopamine receptor coupling proteins and promoting dopamine synthesis in the brain's reward regions,thereby compensating for dopamine depletion caused by methamphetamine addiction.Furthermore,exercise can also regulate protein kinase A inhibitors,affecting the protein kinase A signaling pathway mediated by dopamine D1 receptors,by inhibiting protein kinase A,thus affecting cAMP response element-binding protein and regulating methamphetamine addiction.Additionally,exercise can also,at the genetic level,affect the expression of the c-fos gene in the brain's nucleus accumbens region,activate a subset of glutamatergic neurons in this area,generate a rewarding effect,and thus improve methamphetamine addiction.Although current research has confirmed the relationship between exercise and methamphetamine addiction and has clarified the brain mechanisms underlying the effects of exercise,whether there are other brain regulatory pathways for the effects of exercise remains to be explored through more scientifically rigorous animal or human experiments,starting from the cellular or molecular level.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and postoperative aortic changes of 3D printing-assisted stent with in-vitro pre-fenestration technique in the treatment of complex type B aortic dissection.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 28 patients with complex type B aortic dissection who underwent thoracic endovascular aortic repair(TEVAR)using stent with in-vitro pre-fenestration technique.The patients were divided into two groups based on the methods of stent with in-vitro pre-fenestration:the 3D printing-assisted stent pre-fenestration group(3D printing group)consisting of 13 patients and traditional stent pre-fenestration group(traditional group)consisting of 15 patients.Various parameters,including hospital duration,surgical duration,duration of stent pre-fenestration in vitro,dose of contrast agent,intraoperative blood loss,immediate postoperative internal leakage rate,30 d postoperative internal leakage rate,30 d postoperative mortality,and the change rate of true and false lumen diameter[the change rate of true and false lumen diameter=(postoperative true and false lumen diameter-preoperative true and false lumen diameter)/preoperative true and false lumen diameter× 100％],were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with the traditional group,the 3D printing group exhibited a considerable reduction in surgical duration[(148.46±27.20)min vs(175.46±22.04)min,P＜0.05].Additionally,the 30 d postoperative type Ⅰ internal leakage rate was lower in the 3D printing group(X2=4.044,P=0.044).Moreover,the change(dilation)rate of true lumen diameter in stent coverage section showed a notable increase in the 3D printing group(P＜0.05).Conclusion The use of 3D printing-assisted stent with in-vitro pre-fenestration has been proven to be safe and effective in the treatment of complex type B aortic dissection.It offers notable advantages,including the reduction of surgical duration,a lower risk of type Ⅰ internal leakage and significant redilation of the true aortic lumen after surgery.

Objective To investigate the effects of long-term exposure to three new types of light emitting diode (LED) sources on the behavior, learning, and memory of rats. Methods A total of 160 specific pathogen-free SD rats were divided into eight groups as followed, trichromatic fluorescent lamps color temperature control group, violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group, blue-chip white LED group, and blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group based on the light sources types, with color temperature of 4 000 K and 6 500 K groups in each group using the 4×2 factorial design. There were 20 rats in each group, with half of the rats were males and half females. Rats were exposed to artificial lighting, and the illumination was set at 750 lx. The rats in each group were exposed to different lighting environments for 12 hours per day for 24 weeks. The open-field and step-down tests were conducted in rats after 24 weeks exposure, followed by sacrifice of rats and measurement of organ coefficients. Differences in body weight, organ coefficients, and neurobehavioral indexes of rats in different groups were compared. Results The spleen coefficient of female rats decreased in blue-chip white LED of 6 500 K color temperature group, and the liver coefficient of male rats decreased in the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED of 4 000 K color temperature, blue-chip full-spectrum white LED of 4 000 K color temperature, and blue-chip full-spectrum white LED of 6 500 K color temperature groups, compared with the same-sex rats in trichromatic fluorescent lamps with same-color temperature control group (all P<0.05). The result of different types of light sources compared in the open-field test showed that the index of total distance and movement speed of female rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group were lower than those in the other three groups, and the time cost to the central area was longer than that in the blue-chip white LED group and the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group (all P<0.05). The total distance and movement speed of male rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group were longer or higher than those in the violet-chip full-spectrum white LED group (all P<0.05). Based on the comparison of color temperature, the time and total distance of male rats in 6 500 K color temperature group were lower than that in the 4 000 K color temperature group (both P<0.05). In the step-down test, both male and female rats in the blue-chip full-spectrum white LED group made more errors compared with other three groups with the same gender (all P<0.05). Conclusion Based on the experimental conditions of this study, the blue-chip full-spectrum white light LED affects behavior, learning and memory of the rats, and trichromatic fluorescent lamp has the lowest effect on neurobehavior. The color temperature also affects behavior of the rats, and high color temperature has higher risk.

Objective:To explore the value of pre-ablation stimulated thyroglobulin (psTg) before 131I treatment combined with lymph node ratio (LNR) in predicting 131I treatment response in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). Methods:From January 2016 to December 2018, 178 PTC patients (47 males, 131 females; age (43.2±12.6) years) treated with 131I in the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. According to 131I treatment response, patients were divided into excellent response (ER) group and non-ER group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared by χ2 test, independent-sample t test and Mann-Whitney U test. The cut-off values and AUCs of psTg and LNR to predict treatment response were calculated according to the ROC curve. Factors affecting 131I treatment response were analyzed by logistic multivariate regression analysis. Results:There were 118 patients (66.3%, 118/178) in ER group and 60 patients (33.7%, 60/178) in non-ER group, and there were significant differences in N stage ( χ2=11.15, P=0.004), 131I treatment dose ( χ2=12.65, P<0.001), American Thyroid Association (ATA) initial risk stratification ( χ2=15.25, P<0.001), number of metastatic lymph nodes ( χ2=22.63, P<0.001), LNR ( U=1 506.00, P<0.001) and psTg ( U=919.00, P<0.001) between the two groups. The cut-off values of psTg and LNR predicting ER were 3.97 μg/L and 0.29, with the AUC of 0.870 and 0.787 respectively. PsTg (odds ratio ( OR)=10.88, 95% CI: 4.67-25.36, P<0.001) and LNR ( OR=5.30, 95% CI: 1.85-15.23, P=0.002) were independent factors to predict 131I treatment response in PTC patients. When psTg≥3.97 μg/L, LNR ( OR=9.40, 95% CI: 2.06-42.92, P=0.004) was an independent factor affecting 131I treatment response in PTC patients. Conclusions:PsTg and LNR are independent factors affecting 131I treatment response in PTC patients. When psTg≥3.97 μg/L, LNR can be used as a supplementary factor to predict 131I treatment response. The combination of psTg and LNR can better predict 131I treatment response in PTC patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the possible mechanism of compound Yinqi Sanhuang Jiedu Decoction （茵芪三黄解毒汤， YSJD） against the progression of hepatic fibrosis （HF）. MethodsThirty-eight C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into blank group， model group， silybin group and low-， medium- and high-dose YSJD groups， with eight mice in the model group and six mice each in other groups. Except for the blank group， all mice were injected intraperitoneally with 10% carbon tetrachloride （CCl₄） to establish a HF model， twice a week for 8 weeks. The drug intervention started one week after the first modeling； the low-， medium- and high-dose YSJD groups were given 8.325， 16.65 and 33.3 g/（kg·d） of YSJD suspension by gavage， respectively， while the silybin group was given 55 mg/（kg·d） of silybin suspension by gavage， and the blank group and the model group were given 0.2 ml normal saline by gavage， all for 8 weeks. The liver hardness of living mice was observed using a small animal ultrasound detector， and grey-scale ultrasound was recorded. The liver tissue was observed by Sirius scarlet staining， and the proportion of collagen fiber deposition was calculated. Liver function indicators including alanine aminotransferase （ALT） and aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， and serum laminin （LN）， hyaluronic acid （HA）， pre-collagen type III （PCIII） and collagen type IV （CIV） were also detected. The protein expression of transforming growth factor β1 （TGF-β1）， Vimentin， E-cadherin， α smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） in liver tissue were detected. ResultsCompared to the blank group， the model group showed increased gray value， collagen deposition，serum ALT， AST， HA， LN and PCIII levels， decreased expression of E-cadherin， and increased expression of N-cadherin，α-SMA，Vimentin and TGF-β1 in liver tissues （P＜0.05）. Compared to the model group， the ultrasonic gray value and the proportion of collagen fiber deposition in liver of silybin group and YSJD medium- and high-dose groups decreased， and the serum ALT， AST， LN， HA and PCⅢ levels decreased. Compared to the model group， the expression of E-cadherin in liver tissues of silybin group and all three YSJD groups increased， while the expressions of N-cadherin， Vimentin， TGF-β1 and α-SMA decreased （P＜0.05）， and among them， most improvements were seen in the medium-dose YSJD group （P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe effect of YSJD on significantly reducing the extent of HF in mice caused by CCl₄ may be related to its ability to regulate liver hardness and inhibit the occurrence of epithelial mesenchymal transition in mice.
