Based on the thinking of programmatization and proceduralization, this study integrated traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) classic theories with modern knowledge expression technologies to construct a "formula-symptom" syndrome differentiation thinking model centered on "symptom clustering-main syndrome screening-formula adaptation", and explored the standardization and intelligentization path of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment. By establishing the mapping relationship model between formulas and syndromes including quantitative weight analysis of chief, deputy, assistant and envoy medicines, designing the logical hierarchical structure of formula-syndrome decision tree (application of three-level decision tree and fuzzy logic), and formulating the procedural design of four diagnostic methods (structured collection, correlation model, and dynamic correction mechanism), the standardization and visualization of the syndrome differentiation process are realized. This model can be transformed into the core data set for artificial intelligence training. Through ternary knowledge graph and machine learning algorithms, it can improve the repeatability of syndrome differentiation and the efficiency of diagnosis and treatment, and implement the strategy of "group model + individual modification" to balance the conflict between quantification and individualization. The core value of this model lies in promoting the objectification and precision development of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment through the integration of traditional syndrome differentiation thinking and modern system science.

Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive renal tubular disease characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria,hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis. It is also a major cause of tubular proteinuria in children. According to different causative genes,Dent disease can be divided into three types:type 1 is caused by mutations in the CLCN5 gene,accounting for about 60%-70%;type 2 is caused by mutations in the OCRL gene,accounting for about 15%-20%;type 3 has a similar clinical phenotype but no known pathogenic gene mutations. CLCN5 encodes the voltage-dependent 2Cl -/1H +exchange channel CIC-5,which is involved in proximal renal tubule endocytosis. Its mutations can cause a variety of proximal tubular dysfunction symptoms,mainly including low molecular weight proteinuria. The use of gene detection technology has resulted in an increase in reports on Dent disease year after year. At present,the specific mechanism underlying Dent disease remains unknown. This article reviews the research progress of CLCN5,hoping to provide new insight for the mechanism research of CLCN5 and the specific treatment of Dent disease type 1.

Objective:To investigate the effect of hydrogen on the expressions of stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) and Ca 2+-release-activated-Ca 2+ channel protein 1 (Orai1) and the protective effect of hydrogen on septic mice acute lung injury (ALI). Methods:Forty-eight male ICR mice were divided into sham operation group (Sham group), hydrogen control group (Sham+H 2 group), sepsis group (SS group) and hydrogen intervention group (SS+H 2 group) according to a random number table method, with 12 mice in each group. Sepsis mice model were established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Sham group and Sham+H 2 group did not undergo CLP, other operations were the same as follow. Sham+H 2 group and SS+H 2 group received 1 hour inhalation of 2% H 2 at 1 hour and 6 hours after CLP or sham operation. At 24 hours after CLP, 6 mice in each group were sacrificed for observing pulmonary microvascular permeability after injecting Evans blue (EB) through tail vein. Other 6 mice in each group were sacrificed for obtaining fresh lung tissue to observe the lung pathological change and lung wet/dry (W/D) weight ratio. The protein expressions and distribution of STIM1 and Orai1 in lung tissue were detected by Western blotting and immunofluorescence staining. The mRNA expressions of STIM1 and Orai1 in lung tissue were detected by reverse transcriotion-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Coimmunoprecipitation was used to observe STIM1-Orai1 interaction. Finally, pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMVEC) of mice were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into four groups for inoculation onto culture plates: Control group, rich hydrogen solution group (Control+H 2 group), lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group and rich hydrogen solution intervention group (LPS+H 2 group). PMVECs in Control group and LPS group were cultured in normal medium. Control+H 2 group and LPS+H 2 group were cultured in saturated hydrogen medium. LPS group and LPS+H 2 group were added with LPS at 5 μg/mL. Intracellular Ca 2+ ([Ca 2+]i) concentration of PMVECs were detected by Fluo-4/AM green dye. Results:Compared with Sham group, the pathological score and lung W/D ratio were significantly increased in SS group at 24 hours after CLP (pathological score: 11.00±1.41 vs. 1.00±0.63, lung W/D ratio: 7.63±0.52 vs. 3.45±0.58, both P < 0.05), the content of EB in the lung tissue was increased (μg/g: 0.16±0.02 vs. 0.09±0.02, P < 0.05). Compared with SS group, the pathological score and lung W/D ratio were decreased in SS+H 2 group (pathological score: 3.50±1.05 vs. 11.00±1.41, lung W/D ratio: 4.45±0.45 vs. 7.63±0.52, both P < 0.05), the content of EB in the lung tissue was decreased (μg/g: 0.13±0.02 vs. 0.16±0.02, P < 0.05), which prove that hydrogen can improve ALI caused by sepsis. Compared with Sham group, the protein and mRNA expressions of STIM1 and Orai1 were up-regulated in SS group (relative expression level of STIM1 protein: 3.08±0.32 vs. 1.00±0.00, relative expression level of STIM1 mRNA: 3.65±0.24 vs. 1.00±0.00, relative expression level of Orai1 protein: 3.63±0.23 vs. 1.00±0.00, relative expression level of Orai1 mRNA: 3.80±0.22 vs. 1.00±0.00, all P < 0.05), while the protein and mRNA expressions of STIM1 and Orai1 were down-regulated in SS+H 2 group compared with SS group (relative expression level of STIM1 protein: 1.78±0.13 vs. 3.08±0.32, relative expression level of STIM1 mRNA: 1.76±0.28 vs. 3.65±0.24, relative expression level of Orai1 protein: 1.92±0.22 vs. 3.63±0.23, relative expression level of Orai1 mRNA: 1.85±0.18 vs. 3.80±0.22, all P < 0.05). Coimmunoprecipitation staining results showed that there was no statistically significance in the association between STIM1 and Orai1 in Sham group and Sham+H 2 group. Compared with Sham group, the STIM1-Orai1 interaction was increased in SS group (relative expression level: 3.71±0.37 vs. 1.00±0.00, P < 0.05), while the STIM1-Orai1 interaction was decreased in SS+H 2 group compared with SS group (relative expression level: 2.17±0.29 vs. 3.71±0.37, P < 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences in various indicators between Sham group and Sham+H 2 group. In vitro, the intracellular [Ca 2+]i concentration in PMVECs was increased in LPS group compared with Control group using Fluo-4/AM green dye. The intracellular [Ca 2+]i concentration in PMVECs was decreased in LPS+H 2 group compared with LPS group. Conclusion:The protective effect of hydrogen on lung tissues in septic mice is related to the inhibition of STIM1, Orai1 and the interaction between them.

OBJECTIVE:
To review the research progress and challenges of poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) membrane in preventing tendon adhesion.
METHODS:
The relevant literature at home and abroad in recent years was extensively searched, covering the mechanism of tendon adhesion formation, the adaptation challenge and balancing strategy of PLLA, the physicochemical modification of PLLA anti-adhesion membrane and its application in tendon anti-adhesion. In this paper, the research progress and modification strategies of PLLA membranes were systematically reviewed from the three dimensions of tissue adaptation, mechanical adaptation, and degradation adaptation.
RESULTS:
The three-dimensional adaptation of PLLA membrane is optimized by combining materials (such as hydroxyapatite, polycaprolactone), structural design (multilayer/gradient membrane), and drug loading (anti-inflammatory drug). The balance between anti-adhesion and pro-healing is achieved, the mechanical adaptation significantly improve, and degradation is achieved (targeting the degradation cycle to 2-4 weeks to cover the tendon repair period).
CONCLUSION
In the future, it is necessary to identify the optimal balance point of three-dimensional fitness, unify the evaluation criteria and solve the degradation side effects through the co-design of physicochemical modification and drug loading system to break through the bottleneck of clinical translation.
