Objective To investigate the safety, economic benefits and psychological effects of day breast conserving surgery for breast cancer. Methods The demographic data and clinical data of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgeries in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from March 2020 to June 2021 were retrospectively collected; the demographic data, clinical data, medical and related transportation costs, and preoperative and postoperative BREAST-Q scores of breast cancer patients undergoing day (day surgery group) and ward (ward surgery group) breast conserving surgery in West China Hospital of Sichuan University from June 2021 to June 2022 were prospectively collected. The safety, economic benefit, and psychological satisfaction of day surgery was analyzed. Results A total of 42 women with breast cancer were included in the retrospective study and 39 women with breast cancer were included in the prospective study. In both prospective and retrospective studies, the mean age of patients in both groups were <50 years. There were only statistical differences between the two groups in the aspects of hypertension (P=0.022), neoadjuvant chemotherapy (P=0.037) and postoperative pathological estrogen receptor (P=0.033) in the prospective study. In postoperative complications, there were no statistical differences in the surgical-related complications or anesthesia-related complications between the two groups in either the prospective study or the retrospective study (P>0.05). In terms of the overall cost, we found that the day surgery group was more economical than the ward surgery group in the prospective study (P=0.002). There were no statistical differences in postoperative psychosocical well-being, sexual well-being, satisfaction with breasts or chest condition between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion It is safe and reliable to carry out breast conserving surgery in day surgery center under strict management standards, which can save medical costs and will not cause great psychological burden to patients.

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a central neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory impairment in clinical. Currently, there are no effective treatments for AD. In recent years, a variety of therapeutic approaches from different perspectives have been explored to treat AD. Although the drug therapies targeted at the clearance of amyloid β-protein (Aβ) had made a breakthrough in clinical trials, there were associated with adverse events. Neuroinflammation plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of AD. Continuous neuroinflammatory was considered to be the third major pathological feature of AD, which could promote the formation of extracellular amyloid plaques and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles. At the same time, these toxic substances could accelerate the development of neuroinflammation, form a vicious cycle, and exacerbate disease progression. Reducing neuroinflammation could break the feedback loop pattern between neuroinflammation, Aβ plaque deposition and Tau tangles, which might be an effective therapeutic strategy for treating AD. Traditional Chinese herbs such as Polygonum multiflorum and Curcuma were utilized in the treatment of AD due to their ability to mitigate neuroinflammation. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and indomethacin had been shown to reduce the level of inflammasomes in the body, and taking these drugs was associated with a low incidence of AD. Biosynthetic nanomaterials loaded with oxytocin were demonstrated to have the capability to anti-inflammatory and penetrate the blood-brain barrier effectively, and they played an anti-inflammatory role via sustained-releasing oxytocin in the brain. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells could reduce neuroinflammation and inhibit the activation of microglia. The secretion of mesenchymal stem cells could not only improve neuroinflammation, but also exert a multi-target comprehensive therapeutic effect, making it potentially more suitable for the treatment of AD. Enhancing the level of TREM2 in microglial cells using gene editing technologies, or application of TREM2 antibodies such as Ab-T1, hT2AB could improve microglial cell function and reduce the level of neuroinflammation, which might be a potential treatment for AD. Probiotic therapy, fecal flora transplantation, antibiotic therapy, and dietary intervention could reshape the composition of the gut microbiota and alleviate neuroinflammation through the gut-brain axis. However, the drugs of sodium oligomannose remain controversial. Both exercise intervention and electromagnetic intervention had the potential to attenuate neuroinflammation, thereby delaying AD process. This article focuses on the role of drug therapy, gene therapy, stem cell therapy, gut microbiota therapy, exercise intervention, and brain stimulation in improving neuroinflammation in recent years, aiming to provide a novel insight for the treatment of AD by intervening neuroinflammation in the future.

This paper summarizes Professor AI Rudi's experience in the diagnosis and treatment of skin pruritus based on the "unity of restoring form， regulating qi， and harmonizing spirit"， employing internal herbal medicine combined with external treatments. It is believed that the core pathogenesis of pruritus is the "imbalance of form， qi， and spirit"， with disturbed spirit as the onset， disordered qi as the key pathogenic factor， and physical changes as the manifestation of the disease. The treatment principle follows "restoring form-regulating qi-harmonizing spirit"， with a combination of internal and external therapies， and differentiation based on deficiency and excess. For excess conditions caused by pathogenic disturbances to the heart spirit， treatment is based on different patterns of wind-heat， damp-heat， and blood-heat， using Sangye （Morus alba）-Sangbaipi （Morus alba cortex）-Longchi （Draconis os） to disperse wind and clear heat， calm the spirit； Difuzi （Kochia scoparia）-Qinghao （Artemisia annua）-Tanxiang （Santalum album） to clear damp-heat and aromatically open the spirit； Mudanpi （Paeonia suffruticosa）-Chuanxiong （Ligusticum chuanxiong）-Shuiniujiao （Bubalus bubalis cornua） to cool the blood， activate circulation， and calm the spirit. For deficiency conditions caused by insufficient nourishment of the heart spirit， treatment is based on patterns of qi deficiency or blood deficiency， using Huangqi （Astragalus membranaceus）-Fuping （Lemna minor）-Wuweizi （Schisandra chinensis） to tonify the qi and stabilize the exterior； Heshouwu （Polygonum multiflorum）-Jili （Tribulus terrestris）-Shouwuteng （Polygonum multiflorum vine） to nourish the blood， moisten dryness， and calm the spirit. External treatments integrate traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as medicinal baths， gua sha， and ear acupuncture， with custom herbal wash formulas for restoring form， jojoba oil gua sha for regulating qi， and ear seed therapy using Wangbuliuxing （Vaccaria segetalis） for harmonizing the spirit， achieving a holistic treatment effect for form， qi， and spirit.

Objective To explore the incidence rate and independent risk factors of synchronous multiple early gastric cancer (SMEGC) in patients with early gastric cancer, and to provide evidence for early screening and intervention of high-risk population. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 308 patients with early gastric cancer who received treatment in the hospital from March 2019 to March 2024. The incidence rate of SMEGC was counted, and the risk factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses. Results Among the 308 patients with early gastric cancer in this study, 23 cases were SMEGC and 285 were single early gastric cancer, which were included in the SMEGC group and the single group respectively. The incidence rate of SMEGC was 7.47% (23/308). Compared with the single group, the proportions of male, smoking history, tumor diameter≤2 mm, chronic atrophic gastritis and intestinal metaplasia degree were higher in the SMEGC group (2=4.331、8.608、4.618、6.490、4.897，P=0.037、0.003、0.032、0.001、0.027). Logistic regression analysis suggested that chronic atrophic gastritis (OR=3.133, 95%CI: 1.240-7.918) and moderate-to-severe intestinal metaplasia (OR=3.171, 95%CI: 1.252-8.029) were independent risk factors for SMEGC (P<0.05). Conclusion Some patients with early gastric cancer are SMEGC. Chronic atrophic gastritis and moderate-to-severe intestinal metaplasia are independent risk factors affecting the occurrence of SMEGC. It is recommended to regularly screen high-risk patients and optimize management strategies to reduce the risk of SMEGC.

ObjectiveTo investigate the material basis of homologous and heterogeneous effect of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus（AFI） and Aurantii Fructus（AF） based on the total statistical moment analysis and molecular connectivity index（MCI）. MethodRelevant literature at home and abroad and Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform（TCMSP） were consulted to establish the chemical composition database of AFI and AF， and set up their fingerprints by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography（UPLC）， and the total statistical moments and similarity parameters of the fingerprint were calculated. According to MCI， all components of AFI and AF were divided into different component groups， the average values of 0-8^th order（⁰χ-⁸χ） MCI of the common component groups of AFI and AF were calculated. ResultThe values of total zero-order moment（AUC_T） of AFI and AF were （10.57±2.45）×10⁶， （5.09±0.89）×10⁶ μV·s， the values of total first-order moment（MCRT_T） were （11.57±1.58）， （12.10±1.29） min， the values of total second-order moments（VCRT_T） were（24.49±2.30）， （26.49±2.54） min²， respectively. It showed that qualitative and quantitative parameters of AFI and AF were significantly different. The components with high similarity such as neohesperidin， hesperidin and narirutin were screened as the common potential pharmacodynamic components of AFI and AF. The non-common components of AFI， such as alysifolinone and imperatorin， and the non-common components of AF， such as neoeriocitrin and isosakuranin， with high similarity were screened out as potential heterogeneous components of AFI and AF. The composition groups of AFI and AF were classified into six categories， and the similarities between the composition groups of AFI and AF and the total constituents were 0.872-0.979 and 0.918-0.997， the average values of ⁰χ-⁸χ MCI of alkaloids in AFI and AF were 3.65 and 3.14， the average values of ⁰χ-⁸χ MCI of flavonoids were 8.47 and 8.47， the average values of ⁰χ-⁸χ MCI of volatile oils were 2.71 and 3.48， respectively. It showed that there were some differences in MCI of chemical constituents（groups） between AFI and AF. ConclusionThe chemical constituents（groups） of AFI and AF not only differ in content and species， but also in structural characteristics and structure-activity relationship， which can provide a basis for further explaining the scientific connotation of homologous and heterogeneous effect of AFI and AF.
