"Sinew prescription correspondence" is the principle of selecting prescriptions for channel sinew diseases. On the basis of the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment, the pulse manifestation corresponds to the channel sinew syndrome, which can improve the flexibility and standardization of clinical prescriptions. From the perspective of systematic dialectical sphygmology, this paper explains the dialectical relationship between channel sinew theory and pulse body elements, pulse wall elements, pulse elements and blood flow elements, and clarifies the internal relationship between pulse manifestation and prescriptions at the level of channel sinew disease. The prescription is derived from the method, while the method is established with the syndrome, and the prescription is unified by the method. According to the theory of "sinew prescription correspondence", the treatment ideas of channel sinew diseases were analyzed from the perspective of channel sinew distribution, functional characteristics and structural changes. On this basis, the diagnosis of channel sinew disease and the application of prescriptions are expanded, and the research on the internal treatment and diagnosis mode of "pulse manifestation-channel sinew-zang fu (脏腑)" is prospected, so as to expand the differentiation and treatment methods of channel sinew theory.

Background:
and Purpose Vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms (VBFAs) carry substantial morbidity and mortality, but optimal management for unruptured VBFAs remains unclear. We compared the safety and efficacy of conservative management (CM), stent-assisted coiling (SAC), and flow diverters (FDs) in patients with unruptured VBFAs, focusing on long-term prognosis.
Methods:
This study included data from a nationwide Chinese cohort of patients with vertebrobasilar dissecting aneurysms. Inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) balanced confounders across groups. The primary outcome was poor prognosis (modified Rankin Scale score >2). Secondary outcomes included aneurysm rupture, ischemic stroke, compression symptoms, and VBFA-related deaths. Logistic regression estimated odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were performed.
Results:
Among 1,115 patients with unruptured VBFAs, 838 (median age, 54 years; 655 men) were included. After IPTW, baseline characteristics were balanced. Median follow-up was 54 months. FD was associated with a lower risk of poor prognosis than CM (OR, 0.48 [95% CI, 0.30 to 0.77]; p=0.002), with no difference between CM and SAC. FD also reduced aneurysm rupture (OR, 0.20 [95% CI, 0.07 to 0.60]; p=0.004) and compression symptoms (OR, 0.30 [95% CI, 0.13 to 0.68]; p=0.004) versus CM. Time-to-event analyses further revealed significant differences in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, whereas no significant differences were observed in basilar or vertebrobasilar junction lesions or in Type III–IV VBFAs.
Conclusions
Compared with CM, FD was associated with improved long-term outcomes in unruptured VBFAs, particularly in vertebral artery lesions and Type I–II VBFAs, although residual confounding cannot be excluded.

Objective:
Huntington’s disease (HD) is characterized by motor, cognitive, and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Oculomotor impairments and gait variability have been independently considered as potential markers in HD. However, an integrated analysis of eye movement and gait is lacking. We performed multiple examinations of eye movement and gait variability in HTT mutation carriers, analyzed the consistency between these parameters and clinical severity, and then examined the associations between oculomotor impairments and gait deficits.
Methods:
We included 7 patients with pre-HD, 30 patients with HD and 30 age-matched controls. We collected demographic data and assessed the Unified Huntington’s Disease Rating Scale (UHDRS) score. Examinations, including saccades, smooth pursuit tests, and optokinetic (OPK) tests, were performed to evaluate eye movement function. The parameters of gait include stride length, walking velocity, step deviation, step length, and gait phase.
Results:
HD patients have significant impairments in the latency and velocity of saccades, the gain of smooth pursuit, and the gain and slow phase velocities of OPK tests. Only the speed of saccades significantly differed between pre-HD patients and controls. There are significant impairments in stride length, walking velocity, step length, and gait phase in HD patients. The parameters of eye movement and gait variability in HD patients were consistent with the UHDRS scores. There were significant correlations between eye movement and gait parameters.
Conclusion
Our results show that eye movement and gait are impaired in HD patients and that the speed of saccades is impaired early in pre-HD. Eye movement and gait abnormalities in HD patients are significantly correlated with clinical disease severity.

This study aims to investigate whether resistance exercise can effectively alleviate disuse skel-etal muscle atrophy by activating the skeletal muscle Piezo1/AMPK/PGC-1α signaling pathway,impro-ving mitochondrial function and promoting myogenesis.8-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were used.Dis-use muscle atrophy was simulated by hind limb plaster fixation,and the mice were divided into the con-trol group,the disuse muscle atrophy group,the disuse muscle atrophy+resistance exercise group,and the disuse muscle atrophy+resistance exercise+Piezo1 inhibitor group.The resistance exercise group underwent an 8-week resistance training program.Methods such as Western Blotting,immunofluores-cence staining,and mitochondrial mass and function detection were employed to evaluate skeletal muscle mass,function,mitochondrial status,and myogenesis.Resistance exercise significantly increased the cross-sectional area of skeletal muscle in mice with disuse muscle atrophy by 23%(P<0.01)and the relative mass of skeletal muscle by 11%(P<0.01).Resistance exercise led to an average increase of 206 m in the longest running distance of mice(P<0.01),an average increase of 36.7 g in the maxi-mum bearing capacity(P<0.01),and an average reduction of 1.5 s in the balance beam crawling time(P<0.01).Meanwhile,it upregulated the expression of the protein levels of Piezo1,AMPK,and PGC-1α(P<0.01).In addition,resistance exercise increased the activity or protein expression levels of MMP,TFAM,COX Ⅰ,CS,ATPB,ATPase,ATP,p-mTOR/mTOR,p-P70S6K/P70S6K,Pax7,and MyoD in skeletal muscle(P<0.05,P<0.01).However,inhibiting Piezo1 decreased the expres-sion of the above enzyme activities and protein levels(P<0.05,P<0.01).Resistance exercise allevi-ates disuse skeletal muscle atrophy effectively by activating the Piezo1/AMPK/PGC-1α pathway,impro-ving skeletal muscle mitochondrial quality and function,and promoting protein synthesis and myogenesis.

Objective To investigate the association between extensive perivascular space(EPVS)burden in different locations and ischemic stroke(IS),its subtypes,and transient ischemic attack(TIA)through Mendelian randomization(MR)analysis.Methods The summary data from large-scale Genome-wide Association Studies(GWAS)and various MR methods were employed.We applied multivariable MR to mitigate potential confounding factors and conduct sensitivity analyses to enhance result robustness.Subsequently,meta-analysis was utilized to integrate causal relationships between EPVS burden in different locations and IS from various sources.Additionally,reverse MR was employed to observe the impact of various IS types on EPVS burden.Finally,linkage disequilibrium score regression was conducted to assess genetic correlations between exposures and outcomes.Results EPVS burden in both the white matter(OR=1.12,95%CI:1.01-1.25;P=0.04)and basal ganglia(OR=1.57,95%CI:1.30-1.89;P<0.01)are significant risk factors for IS.EPVS burden in the basal ganglia is also a risk for IS(small-vessel)(OR=4.56,95%CI:2.57-8.27;P=5.95× 10-7).After IS and TIA there seems to be a potential increase in extensive basal ganglia perivascular space burden.Conclusions Extensive white matter perivascular space burden and extensive basal ganglia perivascular space burden may serve as important indicators to predict IS.
