Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional bowel disorder characterized primarily by abdominal pain and altered defecation habits. In recent years, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has made progress in multiple aspects of IBS research and treatment, including syndrome distribution, development of TCM formulas, clinical efficacy evaluation, external therapies, and psychosocial regulation. However, it still faces challenges such as over-reliance on symptomatic manifestations rather than biomarkers for diagnostic criteria, and the lack of high-quality evidence-based data supporting the efficacy of TCM formulas in treating IBS. This paper proposed that TCM diagnosis and treatment of IBS should adhere to the strategy of integrating the holistic concept with syndrome differentiation and treatment, combining TCM external therapies such as acupuncture, moxibustion and acupoint application), and emphasizing individualized diagnosis and treatment for psychosomatic abnormalities. Future research should integrate multi-omics technologies, artificial intelligence and other methods to deepen the understanding of the pathogenesis of IBS and the mechanisms of TCM formulas, so as to promote the standardization and internationalization of TCM in the diagnosis and treatment of IBS.

To rapidly detect and differentiate Mycoplasma gallisepticum(MG)and Mycoplasma synovialis(MS),two sets of specific primers and TaqMan probes were designed in this study based on the conserved regions of the 16S rRNA gene of two pathogens in NCBI.A dual TaqMan fluorescence quantitative PCR method for simultaneous detection of MG and MS was established by optimizing the reaction conditions,and the specificity,sensitivity,repeatability,and reliability of the method were verified.The results showed that this method could specifically amplify MG and MS without cross reactivity with 21 pathogens.The sensitivity experiment results showed that the detection limits of this method for MG and MS were 5.40×10 1 copies/μL and 6.60 × 10 1 copies/μL,and the sensitivity was 10 to 100 times higher than that of known methods.In addition,the re-sults of repetitive experiments showed that the coefficient of variation within and between groups was less than 1%.Compared with the single PCR amplification method in NY/T 553-2015,the positive sample detection coincidence rate,negative sample detection coincidence rate,and total sample detection coincidence rate were all 100.00%,indicating the strong reliability of this method.Using this method to detect 84 suspected Mycoplasma infected chicken samples,the results showed that the MG positivity rate was 32.14%(27/84),the MS positivity rate was 22.62%(19/84),and the positivity rate of samples infected with MG and MS was 16.67%(14/84).Concurrent-ly,182 healthy chicken cloacal swab samples,118 healthy chicken nasal swab samples,and 74 chicken farm environmental samples were detected,and the results showed that all samples were positive for Mycoplasma.The above results indicate that this method can be applied to the detec-tion of various clinical samples.In summary,the method established in this study had the advanta-ges of high specificity,high sensitivity,and good reproducibility.It could be used for clinical differ-ential diagnosis,epidemiological investigation,and pathogen purification of MG and MS infections.

Objective To determine the values and variation tendency of a disintegrin and metalloprotease 12-S(ADAM12-S)of early pregnancy, and discuss the value of ADAM12-S to the ectopic pregnancy in the first trimester.Methods 150 early pregnancy cases (from the 5th to 10th week of pregnancy)were selected in Huanggang Women &Children's Healthcare Hospital.There were 102 cases of normal pregnancy,48 cases of ectopic pregnancy.The AutoDELFIA immunoassay platform was used to measure the value of ADAM12-S in the serum.Results Of the 102 normal pregnancies, the values of ADAM12-S in 5th-10th week of pregnancy linearly increase with gestationalage.The correlation coefficient was 0.9217 (P<0.05).While the values of ADAM12-S in the ectopic pregnancy group were significantly lower than the normal pregnancy group and not linearly increased with gestationalage.The correlation coefficient was 0.2817.There was statistically significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Conclusion The values of ADAM12-S is stable in the first trimester of normal pregnancy,while it is much more lower in abnormal pregnancy.ADAM12-S has great significance in the diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy of the first trimester.
