The concept of "qi deficiency with stagnation" refers to a pathological state characterized by the depletion of primordial qi, impaired qi transformation, and the development of internal stagnation. Under the cyclic chemotherapy regimen in oncology, chemotherapy-induced myelosuppression follows a progressive pathological course from qi deficiency to increasing stagnation. This sequential evolution from mild to severe myelosuppression closely aligns with the dynamic syndrome differentiation and treatment framework of "qi deficiency with stagnation". "Qi deficiency" reflects the gradual depletion of qi, blood, and essence, while "stagnation" refers to the accumulation of phlegm, turbid dampness, and blood stasis. These two components interact reciprocally, forming a vicious cycle where deficiency leads to stagnation, and stagnation further damages the healthy qi. In the early stage of mild myelosuppression, chemotoxicity begins to accumulate in the bone marrow, leading to qi consumption, blood deficiency, yin injury, and the gradual formation of turbid phlegm and damp stagnation. In the advanced stage of severe myelosuppression, the accumulation of toxicity causes qi sinking, exhaustion of essence, and marrow depletion, along with blood stasis obstructing the collaterals. Treatment strategies should be based on syndrome differentiation, with an emphasis on assessing the severity of the condition, balancing deficiency and excess, and achieving both symptomatic relief and root cause resolution.

Immobilized enzyme-based enzyme electrode biosensors, characterized by high sensitivity and efficiency, strong specificity, and compact size, demonstrate broad application prospects in life science research, disease diagnosis and monitoring, etc. Immobilization of enzyme is a critical step in determining the performance (stability, sensitivity, and reproducibility) of the biosensors. Random immobilization (physical adsorption, covalent cross-linking, etc.) can easily bring about problems, such as decreased enzyme activity and relatively unstable immobilization. Whereas, directional immobilization utilizing amino acid residue mutation, affinity peptide fusion, or nucleotide-specific binding to restrict the orientation of the enzymes provides new possibilities to solve the problems caused by random immobilization. In this paper, the principles, advantages and disadvantages and the application progress of enzyme electrode biosensors of different directional immobilization strategies for enzyme molecular sensing elements by specific amino acids (lysine, histidine, cysteine, unnatural amino acid) with functional groups introduced based on site-specific mutation, affinity peptides (gold binding peptides, carbon binding peptides, carbohydrate binding domains) fused through genetic engineering, and specific binding between nucleotides and target enzymes (proteins) were reviewed, and the application fields, advantages and limitations of various immobilized enzyme interface characterization techniques were discussed, hoping to provide theoretical and technical guidance for the creation of high-performance enzyme sensing elements and the manufacture of enzyme electrode sensors.

Objective:To investigate the effect of embedded guidance technique assisted transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to include 88 patients who underwent transconjunctival blepharoplasty and tear trough deformity correction with orbital septum fat release and fixation (referred to as transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty) at the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Peking Union Medical College Hospital, from October 2021 to August 2022. There were 9 male patients (10.23%) and 79 female patients (88.77%), aged 22 to 51 years, with an average age of (34.42±6.17) years. The internal fixation of septum fat flap was assisted with embedded guidance technique, and the Barton grades system was used to evaluate the surgical effect, while the patient satisfaction and complications were collected.Results:The followed-up period is 6-16 months. Before operation, 35 eyes (19.89%) were classified as Barton Ⅰ, 86 eyes (48.86%) were classified as Barton Ⅱ, and 55 eyes (31.25%) were classified as Barton Ⅲ. After transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty, 151 eyes (85.80%) recovered to Barton grade 0, 22 eyes (12.50%) recovered to grade Ⅰ, 3 eyes (1.70%) recovered to grade Ⅱ, and no case was grade Barton Ⅲ. The patient satisfaction score was (9.14±1.22) points, and 78 patients (88.64%) were very satisfied. Only 6 patients (6.82%) showed mild complications, mainly including postoperative bilateral lower eyelid asymmetry (3 cases), mild bilateral orbital area ecchymosis (2 cases) and mild surface depression at internal fixation position (1 case).Conclusions:The transconjunctival lower eyelid blepharoplasty assisted by the embedded guidance technique achieves favorable results with high patient satisfaction and few complications.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the effects of Danmu Extract Syrup (DMS) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in mice and explore the mechanism.
METHODS:
Seventy-two male Balb/C mice were randomly divided into 6 groups according to a random number table (n=12), including control (normal saline), LPS (5 mg/kg), LPS+DMS 2.5 mL/kg, LPS+DMS 5 mL/kg, LPS+DMS 10 mL/kg, and LPS+Dexamethasone (DXM, 5 mg/kg) groups. After pretreatment with DMS and DXM, the ALI mice model was induced by LPS, and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected to determine protein concentration, cell counts and inflammatory cytokines. The lung tissues of mice were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of lung tissue was calculated. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1 β in BALF of mice were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The expression levels of Claudin-5, vascular endothelial (VE)-cadherin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), phospho-protein kinase B (p-Akt) and Akt were detected by Western blot analysis.
RESULTS:
DMS pre-treatment significantly ameliorated lung histopathological changes. Compared with the LPS group, the W/D ratio and protein contents in BALF were obviously reduced after DMS pretreatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The number of cells in BALF and myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity decreased significantly after DMS pretreatment (P<0.05 or P<0.01). DMS pre-treatment decreased the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1 β (P<0.01). Meanwhile, DMS activated the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) pathway and reversed the expressions of Claudin-5, VE-cadherin and VEGF (P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS
DMS attenuated LPS-induced ALI in mice through repairing endothelial barrier. It might be a potential therapeutic drug for LPS-induced lung injury.

BACKGROUND:Hydrogel microparticles,due to their porous and injectable properties,have demonstrated unique advantages in biomedical fields,such as the delivery of cells and bioactive factors/drugs,the construction of tissue repair scaffolds.They have broad application prospects. OBJECTIVE:To review the latest research progress and discuss the key problems and challenges in the research of bone tissue engineering based on hydrogel microparticles. METHODS:The relevant articles in PubMed and CNKI were searched by computer.The English key words were"hydrogels,microparticles,microspheres,microcarriers,bone,bone defect,bone repair,bone healing,bone tissue engineering"while the Chinese key words were"hydrogels,microparticles,microspheres,bone tissue engineering,bone defect,bone repair,bone regeneration".The retrieval period was from 2002 to 2022,and 127 articles were finally included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)At present,various hydrogel microparticles have been developed for use in bone tissue engineering strategies,for example,hydrogel microparticles carrying cells or bioactive factors/drugs,hydrogel microparticles as biological scaffolds,stimulus-responsive hydrogel microparticles,biomineralized hydrogel microparticles,hydrogel microparticles combined with other biological materials.(2)Bone tissue engineering repair strategies based on hydrogel microparticles mainly regulate bone repair by promoting stem cell recruitment and osteogenic differentiation,regulating the local inflammatory microenvironment and promoting angiogenesis at the site of injury.However,the present studies did not deeply explore the effect of bone tissue engineering based on hydrogel microparticles on the recruitment and differentiation of endogenous stem cells and the regulation of the inflammatory microenvironment by the physical and chemical properties of hydrogel microparticles.The long-term in vivo adverse reactions of hydrogel microparticles have not been explored yet,and it is difficult to mass-produce them,thus future research needs to strengthen the mechanism exploration and technical route,so as to provide a reasonable reference for the development of hydrogel microparticles that can be used for clinical transformation.
