The prescription of Qidong Yixin oral liquid is derived from the experience of national medical master Ren Jixue in treating viral myocarditis (VMC). It has the functions of tonifying Qi, nourishing the heart,calming the mind, and relieving palpitations. It is used to treat VMC and angina pectoris of coronary heart disease caused by deficiency of both Qi and Yin. However,the understanding of its efficacy evidence, advantageous aspects, dosage and administration, and medication safety remains insufficient in clinical practice. Therefore,the development of the Expert Consensus on the Clinical Application of Qidong Yixin Oral Liquid (hereinafter referred to as consensus) was initiated. Consensus strictly followed the process and methods of the expert consensus on the clinical application of Chinese patent medicines of the China Association of Chinese Medicine,successively completing multiple tasks such as the consensus project initiation,determination of clinical problems,evidence search and evaluation,formation of recommendation opinions and consensus suggestions,solicitation of opinions,peer review, submission for review and release, and so on. Consensus formed a total of 10 recommendation opinions and 12 consensus suggestions,clarifying the clinical positioning,efficacy advantages,syndrome differentiation,dosage and administration,combination therapy,timing of medication,adverse reactions,contraindications, and precautions of Qidong Yixin oral liquid,indicating that it has good clinical advantages and safety in the treatment of VMC and angina pectoris of coronary heart disease,providing norms and references for physicians to safely and rationally apply Qidong Yixin oral liquid. Consensus was reviewed and approved for release by the Standardization Office of the China Association of Chinese Medicine on December 23, 2024. Standard number:GSCACM-376-2024.

Alzheimer's disease(AD)is a neurodegenerative disease with highly heterogeneous pathological and clinical manifesta-tions,and it is the most common cause of dementia.This heterogeneity poses challenges for diagnosis,treatment,and evaluating novel pharmacological efficacy.This review summarizes the latest progress in the major clinical subtypes of AD based on clinical manifesta-tions,genetic,and pathological features.Early-onset and late-onset AD clinical subtypes may share the same symptoms but differ in etiology,age of onset,mode of presentation,disease progression,and associated comorbidities.Typical and atypical AD differ signifi-cantly in clinical manifestations,pathological features,and diagnostic criteria.Research on AD subtypes based on imaging and omics data has also made considerable progress.This review also outlines the molecular pathological heterogeneity of AD.A deep understand-ing of these heterogeneities is crucial for diagnosis,the formulation of pharmacological treatment strategies,and clinical management.

Objective :
To explore the general information,clinical features,imaging findings and outcome of pa- tients with drug-induced cholestatic.
Methods :
The clinical data of patients diagnosed as cholestatic drug-induced liver injury in recent 5 years were analyzed retrospectively,and followed up for at least 6 months.
Results :
There were 105 patients with drug-induced cholestatic liver injury in the hospital,the median age was 55 years old (54. 3% male) ,most of them had no specific clinical symptoms ; there were nearly 80 kinds of drugs involved,the top three were traditional Chinese medicine (34. 3% ) ,antineoplastic drugs (22. 9% ) and antibiotics ( 10. 5% ) . Among the 49 patients with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography ( MRCP) ,7 ( 14. 3% ) had sclerosing cholangitis-like changes ; most of the patients were combined with multiple liver-protecting and enzyme-lowering drugs ; there were 53 cured (50. 5% ) ,41 improved (39. 0% ) ,7 uncured (6. 7% ) ,and 4 died (3. 8% ) among 105 patients,and the total effective rate was 89. 5%.
Conclusion
Drug-induced cholestatic liver injury mainly oc- curs in elderly patients,involving many kinds of drugs,mainly traditional Chinese medicine.Drugs can also cause changes similar to sclerosing cholangitis,so drug-induced liver injury (DILI) should be used as one of the differen- tial diagnosis of cholestasis and abnormal cholangiography.Liver disease and the number of drugs have no effect on the prognosis of the patients,while low Roussel Uclaf causality assessment method (RUCAM) score and hemoglobin count,short hospitalization time and high white blood cell count are poor prognostic factors.

BACKGROUND:
Weather conditions are a possible contributing factor to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of irreversible loss of vision. The present study evaluated the joint effects of meteorological factors and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) on AMD.
METHODS:
Data was extracted from a national cross-sectional survey conducted across 10 provinces in rural China. A total of 36,081 participants aged 40 and older were recruited. AMD was diagnosed clinically by slit-lamp ophthalmoscopy, fundus photography, and spectral domain optical coherence tomography (OCT). Meteorological data were calculated by European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) reanalysis and were matched to participants' home addresses by latitude and longitude. Participants' individual PM2.5 exposure concentrations were calculated by a satellite-based model at a 1-km resolution level. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models paired with interaction analysis were performed to investigate the joint effects of meteorological factors and PM2.5 on AMD.
RESULTS:
The prevalence of AMD in the study population was 2.6% (95% CI 2.42-2.76%). The average annual PM2.5 level during the study period was 63.1 ± 15.3 µg/m3. A significant positive association was detected between AMD and PM2.5 level, temperature (T), and relative humidity (RH), in both the independent and the combined effect models. For PM2.5, compared with the lowest quartile, the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) across increasing quartiles were 0.828 (0.674,1.018), 1.105 (0.799,1.528), and 2.602 (1.516,4.468). Positive associations were observed between AMD and temperature, with ORs (95% CI) of 1.625 (1.059,2.494), 1.619 (1.026,2.553), and 3.276 (1.841,5.830), across increasing quartiles. In the interaction analysis, the estimated relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and the attributable proportion (AP) for combined atmospheric pressure and PM2.5 was 0.864 (0.586,1.141) and 1.180 (0.768,1.592), respectively, indicating a synergistic effect between PM2.5 and atmospheric pressure.
CONCLUSIONS
This study is among the first to characterize the coordinated effects of meteorological factors and PM2.5 on AMD. The findings warrant further investigation to elucidate the relationship between ambient environment and AMD.
