OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the optimization of support policies for the development of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institutions in China. METHODS Based on 102 policy documents concerning the support policies for the development support of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institutions issued by the central government and 5 autonomous regions， text information was mined by ROST CM6 software， and a policy modeling consistency （PMC） index model was constructed. From the perspective of the whole life cycle， a multi-dimensional evaluation was carried out on the support policies for the development of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institutions， and 48 policies closely related to the development of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institutions were screened for empirical research. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The average PMC index of the 48 policies was 5.90， which was generally at a good level. Among them， 8 policies were excellent， 29 were good， 11 were acceptable， and no policies were rated poor. The policy samples performed well in the dimensions of policy orientation and policy evaluation， while some policies need to be further improved in terms of policy nature， policy instruments and policy content. It is suggested to establish a multi-level policy support system， strengthen financial support and transformation incentives of new drugs， so as to boost the high-quality development of traditional Chinese medicine preparations in medical institutions.

BACKGROUND:The development and evolution of atlas are complex,and there are a few research reports. CT imaging can show the normal development process,anatomical structure,developmental variation and deformity of the axis. It has important clinical value to clarify the time of occurrence of ossification center of axis and closure of epiphyseal plate and its evolution process and law.OBJECTIVE:To present the anatomical structure of the normal development and variation of children's axis based on CT images.METHODS:CT images obtained from 732 children aged 0 to 15 years who underwent neck scans between June 2016 and November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The observation indicators encompassed the axis odontoid,bilateral pedicle,vertebral ossification center,secondary ossification center at the tip of odontoid,pedicle,base of odontoid,and posterior median epiphyseal plate,as well as any variations or deformities in axis development. The changes in these indicators were analyzed and compared across different age groups. SPSS 17.0 statistical software package was utilized for data classification and statistical analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) A total of 732 subjects were examined,comprising 718 cases (98.1％) with normal development of the axis and 14 cases (1.9％) exhibiting deformity or dysplasia. (2) The axis demonstrated the presence of five ossification centers,including those of the bilateral pedicles,odontoid process,and vertebral body,which were observed at birth. The median age for the secondary ossification center located at the tip of the odontoid process was determined to be 5.7 years,with an interquartile range of 4.1 to 7 years. The earliest recorded occurrence was observed at 8 months and 22 days,while the latest occurrence was noted at 12 years and 10 months. (3) The median age at which fusion took place was 6 years,with an interquartile range of 5-8 years. The maximum age at which non-fusion was observed was 8 years and 9 months,while the minimum age at which fusion occurred was 4 years and 3 months. (4) The median age at which bilateral epiphyseal plate closure occurred was approximately 3.8 years,with an interquartile range of about 2.9-4.6years. The earliest observed closure was at 2 years and 3 months,while the latest observed unclosure was at 6 years old. (5) The median age at which odontoid base epiphyseal plate closure occurred was 5.2 years,with an interquartile range of 3.5-6.8 years. The minimum age for closure was 2 years and 6 months,and the latest age for non-closure was 9 years and 6 months. (6) The posterior median epiphyseal plate typically closed at a median age of 1.5 years,with an interquartile range of 1.0-2.1 years. However,two cases exhibited delayed closure,occurring at ages 2 years and 5 months,and 14 years,respectively. Theearliest closure observed was at 6 months and 20 days. (7) Axis malformation or developmental abnormalities,including 7 cases of accessory ossification center and accessory epiphyseal plate,3 cases of free ossified small bones in the axis,2 cases of posterior median epiphyseal plate failure,2 cases of secondary ossification centers in the absence of the apex of odontosis,and 1 case of absence at ossification center in the odontoid of the armature vertebrae. (8) It is concluded that the utilization of multi-slice spiral CT scanning in conjunction with the multi-plane reconstruction technique enables comprehensive visualization of the anatomical structure of the axis,facilitating precise assessment of both its typical developmental variations and deformities.

Objective:The purpose of this study was to examine the clinical features and initial treatment outcomes of elderly individuals with idiopathic membranous nephropathy.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical characteristics and therapeutic effect of hospitalized patients aged 60 years or older with renal-biopsy-proven idiopathic membranous nephropathy for at least one year.Results:This study enrolled a total of 91 elderly patients with IMN, consisting of 51 males(56.0%)and 40 females(44.0%). The median age of the patients was 67 years.The urinary protein creatinine ratio(uPCR)and urinary albumin creatinine ratio(uACR)of the patients were 4 454.3 mg/g and 2 258.5 mg/g, respectively.The median 24-hour urinary protein and urinary albumin levels were 5 098.2 mg/24 h and 2 800.6 mg/24 h, respectively.The average estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)was(60.5±20.4)ml·min -1·1.73 m -2.Out of the total of 61 patients, 67.0% achieved remission, including complete and partial remission, within a year of renal biopsy.The levels of uPCR and uACR were significantly higher in the non-remission group compared to the remission group(5 462.5 vs.2 271.1 mg/g, P<0.001; 2 774.4 vs.1 320.0 mg/g, P=0.001). Additionally, the levels of 24h urinary protein and urinary albumin were significantly higher in the non-remission group compared to the remission group(6 526.4 vs.3 210.4 mg/g, P=0.002; 3 067.7 vs.2 102.4 mg/g, P=0.007). The remission group had a higher proportion of patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy(85.2% vs.33.3%, P<0.001). The remission rates were higher in patients treated with glucocorticoid combined with cyclophosphamide, glucocorticoid combined with calcineurin inhibitors, or glucocorticoid combined with mycophenolate mofetil compared to those receiving conservative treatment(88.2% vs.31.0%, P=0.001; 80.0% vs.31.0%, P<0.001; 100.0% vs.31.0%, P=0.007). There was no significant difference in remission rate between the three immunosuppressive therapy groups( P>0.05). However, upon further analysis, it was found that the levels of uPCR, uACR, and serum cystatin C(CysC)were higher in the immunosuppressive therapy groups compared to conservative treatment.Additionally, serum total protein and albumin were lower in the immunosuppressive therapy groups, and these differences were statistically significant( P<0.05). Conclusions:The majority of elderly patients diagnosed with IMN have multiple comorbidities.For those at high risk with elevated urinary protein levels, early initiation of immunosuppressive therapy may lead to a higher initial urinary protein remission rate.Therefore, it is advisable to develop individualized treatment plans for elderly patients with IMN based on their clinical characteristics, as well as the risks and benefits associated with immunosuppressive therapy.

Objective To observe the value of dual domain(projection domain and image domain)joint learning reconstruction network(DDRNet)for reconstructing chest limited angle CT images.Methods Totally 4 300 chest enhanced CT images of 65 patients with chest tumors were retrospectively enrolled and reconstructed with DDRNet,and 3D and 2D projection information fusion were performed.The reconstruction effect of DDRNet was evaluated and compared with that of single domain reconstruction and filtered back projection(FBP),residual encoder-decoder convolutional neural network(RED-CNN),Resnet and deconvolution network(RDN),as well as of generative adversarial network(GAN).Results The peak signal to noise ratio(PSNR)of DDRNet reconstructed images tended to stabilize after approximately 60 iterations,while the projection domain and image domain learning networks tended to stabilize after approximately 90 and 80 iterations.After stable training,compared to the projection domain learning network,the fluctuation of output results of DDRNet and image domain learning networks were less.After 200 rounds of training,PSNR of DDRNet reconstructed images was significantly higher than that of projection domain and image domain learning networks.The quality of DDRNet reconstructed image was significantly better than that of FBP,RED-CNN,RDN and GAN.Conclusion DDRNet could be used to effectively reconstruct high-quality chest limited angle CT images.

Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a common strain disease in adolescents, which is more common in youth sports enthusiasts, athletes and soldiers. The clinical manifestations of OSD are typical, and the diagnosis can be made based on the medical history, physical examination and knee X-ray examination, but it needs to be differentiated from other diseases that may cause anterior knee pain. The risk factors of OSD development include males, 12-15 years of age in males and 8-12 years of age in females, high body mass index, skeletal-muscular anatomical variants, and large amount of exercise, etc. OSD is a self-limited disorder that gradually resolves as the skeleton maturates. Most patients do not need treatment or can also be treated with conservative methods such as exercise therapy, medications and physical therapy, but may be left with sequelae that affect motor function and quality of life. Clinical attention should be paid to it adequately. If the conservative treatment is ineffective, active operation should be performed. The principle of operation is to remove bone fragments and reconstruct tibial tuberosity. Common surgical procedures include traditional open surgery and arthroscopic surgery. Arthroscopic surgery, with its advantages of minimally invasive and rapid recovery, is currently advocated as the best surgical procedure, but the mid- and long-term efficacy is unclear.

Cell mechanics is essential to cell development and function,and its dynamics evolution reflects the physiological state of cells.Here,we investigate the dynamical mechanical properties of single cells under various drug conditions,and present two mathematical approaches to quantitatively character-izing the cell physiological state.It is demonstrated that the cellular mechanical properties upon the drug action increase over time and tend to saturate,and can be mathematically characterized by a linear time-invariant dynamical model.It is shown that the transition matrices of dynamical cell systems signifi-cantly improve the classification accuracies of the cells under different drug actions.Furthermore,it is revealed that there exists a positive linear correlation between the cytoskeleton density and the cellular mechanical properties,and the physiological state of a cell in terms of its cytoskeleton density can be predicted from its mechanical properties by a linear regression model.This study builds a relationship between the cellular mechanical properties and the cellular physiological state,adding information for evaluating drug efficacy.

Background Lipid metabolism in liver shows circadian-dependent profiles. The hepatotoxicity of environmental chemicals is dependent on circadian time. Objective To observe the effects of bisphenol A (BPA) exposure at different zeitgeber time (ZT) on hepatic and blood lipid metabolism and decipher the underlying mechanisms related to circadian rhythm in mice. Methods Thirty-five female C57BL/6J mice were sacrificed every 4 h in a light-dark cycle (12 h/12 h). The liver tissues were collected to describe the circadian profiles of hepatic Rev-erba, Bmal1, Clock, Srebp1c, and Chrebp mRNA expression levels within 24 h. Thirty female mice were divided into 6 groups by the timing (ZT3 represents the 3 h after light on, ZT15 represents the 3 h after light off) and dose (50 or 500 μg·kg⁻¹·d⁻¹) of BPA exposure to observe hepatotoxicity. Mice were gavaged with designed doses of BPA once per day for 4 weeks. Mice were maintained with ad libitum access to food and water and measured body weight weekly. After the experiment, mice were euthanatized and liver tissues were separated to determine the biochemical indicators of lipid metabolism and lipid metabolism- and circadian-related gene mRNA expressions. Results Hepatic Rev-erba, Bmal1, Clock, Srebp1c, and Chrebp mRNA expression levels were rhythmic during a 24 h period in mice. At ZT3 and ZT15, BPA did not alter body weight, plasma glucose, plasma total cholesterol, plasma low density lipoprotein cholesterol, and plasma triglycerides (P>0.05). The plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol decreased in the 50 μg·kg⁻¹·d⁻¹ BPA group at ZT3 by 14.56% compared with the control group (P<0.05). The liver triglycerides increased in the 50 μg·kg⁻¹·d⁻¹ BPA group at ZT15 by 115.20% compared with the control group (P<0.05). BPA decreased Srebp1c mRNA expression level when dosing at ZT3 and increased Chrebp, Srebp1c, and Acc1 mRNA expression levels when dosing at ZT15 compared with the control group (P<0.05). BPA increased Bmal1 mRNA expression level and decreased Rev-erbα mRNA expression level at ZT3 exposure and decreased Bmal1 and increased Rev-erbα mRNA expression level at ZT15 exposure (P<0.05). Conclusion BPA exposure at light or dark period has different effects on hepatic lipid metabolism in mice. Hepatic lipid deposit appears when BPA is dosed at dark period. Rev-erbα-Bmal1 regulation circuits and the subsequent upregulation of Srebp1c and Chrebp and the target gene Acc1 may be involved.

Mixed reality technology can achieve a 3D reconstruction of the patient's imaging data and organically combine the real scene. This allows to simulate a real medical operation in clinical teaching. Combined with large data analysis, mixed reality technology allows to build situational awareness data models, thus providing data support for teaching interaction and disease simulations. In the present work, the application of mixed reality technology and situational awareness in clinical teaching of cardiac macrovascular surgery is explored innovatively. These technologies open a new avenue for teaching, solving the issue that stymies traditional teaching approaches and improving the teaching efficiency. It is thus important to explore and promote the applications of this innovative teaching methodology particularly in clinical teaching.
