OBJECTIVE To explore the mechanism of Qiangxin decoction in the treatment of chronic heart failure （CHF） by regulating the inhibitor of nuclear factor-κB alpha/nuclear factor-κB p65 subunit （IκBα/NF-κB p65） signaling pathway-mediated M1 macrophage polarization. METHODS In animal experiments， mice were used as research subjects， and the CHF model was established via coronary artery ligation. Model mice were treated with Qiangxin decoction （21.69 g/kg） for 28 days. After intervention， pathological morphological changes of myocardial tissues and cardiomyocyte apoptosis were observed. Serum levels of inflammatory factors including tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and interleukin-6 （IL-6）， myocardial injury marker troponin I3 （TNNI3）， and macrophage-related markers F4/80 and cluster of differentiation 80 （CD80） were detected. In cell experiments， monocyte-macrophage leukemia RAW264.7 cells were induced to undergo M1 polarization by 10 ng/mL lipopolysaccharide combined with 10 ng/mL interferon-γ， followed by 48 h intervention with 10% drug-containing serum of Qiangxin decoction. After intervention， the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and NF-κB p50 was observed. The positive rate of CD80 in cells was measured. The mRNA expression of inflammatory factors including IL-1β， IL-6， IL-8， IL-18， TNF-α， inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS）， cyclooxygenase-2 （COX2）， C-C motif chemokine receptor 7 isoform 2 （CCR7-2）， as well as the expression levels of proteins related to the IκBα/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway were detected. RESULTS Animal experimental results showed that Qiangxin decoction alleviated myocardial fibrosis in mice， and significantly reduced the cardiomyocyte apoptosis rate， serum levels of TNF-α and IL-6， as well as the protein expression of TNNI3， F4/80 and CD80 in myocardial tissues （P＜0.05）. Cell experimental results indicated that Qiangxin decoction significantly suppressed the nuclear translocation of NF-κB p65 and NF-κB p50 （P＜0.05）. It significantly decreased the CD80 positive rate， mRNA levels of IL-1β， IL-6， IL-8， IL-18， TNF-α， iNOS， COX2 and CCR7-2， total and nuclear expression of NF-κB p65， total， nuclear and cytoplasmic expression of phosphorylated NF-κB p65， total expression of phosphorylated IκBα （P＜0.05）. Meanwhile， it significantly elevated the total expression of IκBα and cytoplasmic expression of NF-κB p65 （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Qiangxin decoction can inhibit the activity of the IκBα/NF-κB p65 signaling pathway， reduce the release of pro-inflammatory factors， thereby restraining M1 macrophage polarization， mitigating myocardial fibrosis， and ultimately exerting therapeutic effects against CHF.

Objective To investigate the comparative neuroprotective effects of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUC-MSCs-Exos)administered via different routes on hypoxic ischemic brain damage(HIBD)in neonatal mice.Methods Healthy one-week-old SPF-grade BALB/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:sham operation group(n=6),model group(n=6),exosome group 1(n=8),exosome group 2(n=8).HIBD was induced using the Rice-Vannucci method.Exosome group 1 and Exosome group 2 were intraperitoneal injection/intranasal drip of phosphate buffer(PBS)100 μl containing 10 μl exosomes within 24 h after successful modeling,respectively.Sham operation and model groups were intraperitoneal injection of PBS 100 μl.On the 7th day after the intervention,neuromotor function was assessed using the horizontal grid test and pole climbing test.On the 2nd day after the evaluation,all mice were killed and their brains were removed by decapitation.HE staining was used to observe the pathological injury of brain tissue,toluidine blue staining was used to observe the survival of neurons in cerebral cortex,and TUNEL staining was used to observe the apoptosis of cerebral cortex cells.Results Compared with sham operation group,model group,exosome group 1 and exosome group 2 exhibited increased hind limb drops in horizontal grid test and climbing scores(P<0.05).No significant difference was found in model group,exosome group 1 and exosome group 2 in these measures(P<0.05).Significant pathology was observed in model group,exosome group 1 and exosome group 2 compared to sham operation group(P<0.05),with significantly reduced damage in exosome group 1 and exosome group 2 compared to model group(P<0.05).Compared with sham operation group,Nissl body count was lower in model group and exosome group 1 and exosome group 2,with a higher count in exosome group 2 compared to exosome group 1(P<0.05).Compared with sham operation group,apoptotic cells were higher in model group and exosome group 1 and exosome group 2,with a significant reduction in exosome group 1 and exosome group 2 compared to model group,and the lowest in exosome group 2(P<0.05).Conclusions hUC-MSCs-Exos can improve the neuronal motor function,promote neuron repair and inhibit apoptosis in HIBD mice.Intranasal administration of hUC-MSCs-Exos is more effective than intraperitoneal administration for reducing neuronal apoptosis in HIBP neonatal mice,offering a convenient and rapid method suitable for clinical application.

Medical institutions, with their clinical practice foundation and abundant human use experience data, have become important carriers for the inheritance and innovation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) and the "cradles" of the preparation of new TCM. To effectively promote the transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and establish an effective evaluation index system for the transformation of new TCM conforming to the characteristics of TCM, consensus experts adopted the literature research, questionnaire survey, Delphi method, etc. By focusing on the policy and technical evaluation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions, a comprehensive evaluation from the dimensions of drug safety, efficacy, feasibility, and characteristic advantages was conducted, thus forming a comprehensive evaluation system with four primary indicators and 37 secondary indicators. The expert consensus reached aims to encourage medical institutions at all levels to continuously improve the high-quality research and development and transformation of new TCM originating from the TCM clinical practice in medical institutions and targeted at clinical needs, so as to provide a decision-making basis for the preparation, selection, cultivation, and transformation of new TCM for medical institutions, improve the development efficiency of new TCM, and precisely respond to the public medication needs.

Objective:To examine the near-complete genomic analysis of norovirus (NoV) subtype GⅡ.17 [P17] outbreaks in Beijing Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024.Methods:Data and specimens related to outbreaks of the NoV aggregation in Beijing′s Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were collected. The NoV was identified using real-time fluorescence reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Specimens with positive nucleic acid were amplified by standard PCR, whole genome sequencing and evolutionary analysis. Amino acid site variations were compared.Results:In Chaoyang District, from 2014 to 2024, a total of 637 aggregated outbreaks caused by the NoV infection were reported, of which 584 were successfully typed. The epidemic caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype accounted for 8.79% (56/637), which was the dominant epidemic gene subtype in 2014-2015, sporadic in 2016-2019, reappeared in 2022, and significantly increased in 2024 (27.27%, 24/88). Outbreaks caused by the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype occurred mainly from October to December, with the main sites of occurrence in primary schools and kindergartens. This study yielded 53 near-complete genome sequences of the GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype from 46 incidents in Chaoyang District. The GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype sequences of Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 were segmented into three subgroups on the evolutionary tree, with sequences from 2014 to 2019, 2022 to April 2024, and May to December 2024 clustered into the d, e, and b subgroups, respectively. In the VP1 region′s P2 area, particularly at the HBGA binding site, subgroups b and e exhibited mutations in 22 and two sites, while subgroups b and e showed mutations in four and one sites, predominantly in the RdRp region.Conclusion:The outbreak caused by the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from 2014 to 2024 continues, with a significant increase in 2024, and it becomes the dominant gene subtype from October to December. The sequence formation of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype in Chaoyang District from January to April 2022 and from May to December 2024 shows two different evolutions, with specific mutation sites, requiring continuous monitoring of the NoV GⅡ.17 [P17] subtype.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

Objective:To assess the feasibility and efficacy of transperineal laser ablation(TPLA)with single laser fiber in treating benign prostatic obstruction(BPO).Methods:From April 2021 to March 2024,a total of 13 BPO patients were selected from Beijing Friendship Hospital.TPLA was performed using a single laser fiber,which was guided by transrectal biplane ultrasound.The single laser fiber was used to undergo TPLA under the guidance of trans-rectal dual-plane ultrasound.The intraoperative time,ablation time,energy consumption,indwelling time of catheter,and complications were observed.The postoperative 6 months was chosen as the cut-off point of follow-up,and the pre and postoperative changes of international prostate symptom score(IPSS),quality of life index(QoL),prostate volume(PV),residual urine volume(RUV)and the maximum urine flow rate(Qmax)were compared.Results:All 13 patients successfully underwent TPLA with single laser fiber.The average operation time was(55.1±18.3)min,and the average ablation time was(16.3±1.7)min,and average energy consumption was(3951.6±459.7)J,and the median value of indwelling time of catheter was 7(7,10)days.The number of postoperative complication was 2 cases,and both them belonged to Clavien-Dindo grade II complication.At the postoperative 6th month,the IPSS,QoL,PV,Qmax and RUV of all patients were improved,all of which were better than preoperative these indicators,and the differences were significant(t=12.102,-3.228,-3.181,-2.581,-2.936,P<0.05).Conclusion:The application of single laser fiber in conducting TPLA operation is feasibility at technical aspect,and it can achieve the therapeutic goals of improving patients'symptoms and enhancing their quality of life.Although its operational time is slightly longer than that of using multiple fibers simultaneously,it can effectively reduce the cost of expenditure for consumables.

BACKGROUND: The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been shown to be positively correlated with cardiovascular disease in previous studies. However, it is unclear whether elderly people with long-term high AIP levels are more likely to develop coronary heart disease (CHD). Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between AIP trajectory and CHD incidence in elderly people. METHODS: 19,194 participants aged ≥ 60 years who had three AIP measurements between 2018 and 2020 were included in this study. AIP was defined as log₁₀ (triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol). The group-based trajectory model was used to identify different trajectory patterns of AIP from 2018 to 2020. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratio (HR) with 95% CI of CHD events between different trajectory groups from 2020 to 2023. RESULTS: Three different trajectory patterns were identified through group-based trajectory model: the low-level group (n = 7410, mean AIP: -0.25 to -0.17), the medium-level group (n = 9981, mean AIP: 0.02-0.08), and the high-level group (n = 1803, mean AIP: 0.38-0.42). During a mean follow-up of 2.65 years, a total of 1391 participants developed CHD. After adjusting for potential confounders, compared with the participants in the low-level group, the HR with 95% CI of the medium-level group and the high-level group were estimated to be 1.24 (1.10-1.40) and 1.43 (1.19-1.73), respectively. These findings remained consistent in subgroup analyses and sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS There was a significant correlation between persistent high AIP level and increased CHD risk in the elderly. This suggests that monitoring the long-term changes in AIP is helpful to identify individuals at high CHD risk in elderly people.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of Xuanshen Yishen Decoction (XYD) in the treatment of hypertension. METHODS: Hospital electronic medical records from 2019-2023 were utilized to emulate a randomized pragmatic clinical trial. Hypertensive participants were eligible if they were aged ⩾40 years with baseline systolic blood pressure (BP) ⩾140 mm Hg. Patients treated with XYD plus antihypertensive regimen were assigned to the treatment group, whereas those who followed only antihypertensive regimen were assigned to the control group. The primary outcome assessed was the attainment rate of intensive BP control at discharge, with the secondary outcome focusing on the 6-month all-cause readmission rate. RESULTS: The study included 3,302 patients, comprising 2,943 individuals in the control group and 359 in the treatment group. Compared with the control group, a higher proportion in the treatment group achieved the target BP for intensive BP control [8.09% vs. 17.5%; odds ratio (OR)=2.29, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.68 to 3.13; P<0.001], particularly in individuals with high homocysteine levels (OR=3.13; 95% CI=1.72 to 5.71; P<0.001; P for interaction=0.041). Furthermore, the 6-month all-cause readmission rate in the treatment group was lower than in the control group (hazard ratio=0.58; 95% CI=0.36 to 0.91; P=0.019), and the robustness of the results was confirmed by sensitivity analyse. CONCLUSIONS XYD could be a complementary therapy for intensive BP control. Our study offers real-world evidence and guides the choice of complementary and alternative therapies.

OBJECTIVES: A ventricular assist device (VAD) is an electromechanical device used to assist cardiac blood circulation, which can be employed for the treatment of end-stage heart failure and is most commonly placed in the left ventricle. Despite enhancing perfusion performance, the implantation of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) transforms the local intraventricular flow and thus may increase the risk of thrombogenesis. This study aims to investigate fluid-particle interactions and thromboembolic risk under different LVAD configurations using three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction models, focusing on the effects of outflow tract orientation and blood flow rates. METHODS: A patient-specific end-diastolic 3D reconstruction model was initially constructed in stereo lithography (STL) format using Mimics software based on CT images. Transient numerical simulations were performed to analyze fluid-particle interactions and thromboembolic risks for LVAD with varying outflow tract orientations under 2 flow rates (4 L/min and 5 L/min), using particles of uniform size (2 mm), and a blood flow rate optimization protocol was implemented for this patient. RESULTS: When the LVAD flow rate was 5 L/min, helicity and flow stagnation of the blood flow increased the particle residence time (RT) and the risk of thrombogenesis of the aortic root. The percentage of particles traveling toward the brachiocephalic trunk was up to 20.33%. When the LVAD flow rate was 4 L/min, blood turbulence in the aorta was reduced, the RT of blood particles was shortened, and then the percentage of particles traveling toward the brachiocephalic trunk decreased to 10.54%. When the LVAD blood flow rate was 5 L/min and the direction of the outflow pipe was optimal, the RT of blood particles was shortened, and then the percentage of particles traveling toward the brachiocephalic trunk decreased to 11.22%. A 18-month follow-up observation of the patient revealed that the LVAD was in good working order and the patient had no complications related to the implantation of LVAD. CONCLUSIONS Implantation of LVAD results in a higher risk of cerebral infarction; When implanting LVAD with the same outflow tract direction, optimizing flow velocity and outflow tract can reduce the risk of cerebral infarction occurrence.
