Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） constitution theory， with its focus on individualized diagnosis and treatment， provides the theoretical foundation and practical pathways for the prevention and control of comorbidities in the elderly， mental health interventions， and rehabilitation for functional impairment， based on the principle of "treating different diseases with the same approach and preventing multiple diseases simultaneously". Addressing the current issues of insufficient accuracy in identifying elderly constitutions and a lack of targeted prevention and treatment strategies， this paper proposes the construction of a precision identification system characterized by data-driven， dynamic tracking， and human-machine collaboration. It also establishes a dynamic regulatory framework based on classification-based foundation， grad-based quantification， and tiered collaboration. These approaches aim to expand the application of TCM constitution theory in promoting elderly health promotion.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanism by which Xiaoyaosan regulates HPT axis dysfunction in the rat model with the syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency by observing its effect on the glycoprotein hormone α-subunit （CGA）/glutathione peroxidase 2 （GPX2）/thyroid-stimulating hormone β-subunit （TSHβ） pathway for thyroid hormone synthesis. MethodsSeventy-two male SD rats were randomized into six groups： normal， model， high-dose （16.7 g·kg^-1）， medium-dose （8.35 g·kg^-1）， and low-dose （4.175 g·kg^-1） Xiaoyaosan， and fluoxetine （0.001 8 g·kg^-1） groups， with 12 rats in each group. The rat model of liver depression and spleen deficiency was induced by chronic restraint stress for 21 days. The intervention groups were treated with Xiaoyaosan decoctions or fluoxetine suspension， respectively. After modeling， hematoxylin-eosin staining was employed to observe morphological changes in the thyroid and pituitary tissue of the rats. Serum levels of triiodothyronine （T3）， tetraiodothyronine （T4）， and thyroid-stimulating hormone （TSH） were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot were employed to determine the mRNA and protein levels， respectively， of TSH receptor （TSHR） in the thyroid tissue， thyrotropin-releasing hormone receptor （TRHR） and TSHβ in the pituitary tissue， and thyrotropin-releasing hormone （TRH）， CGA， GPX2， and TSHβ in the hypothalamic tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed significant atrophy and irregularity of thyroid follicles， a marked reduction in colloid secretion， extensive vacuolar degeneration of adenocytes in the anterior pituitary， lowered serum levels of T3， T4， and TSH （P<0.01）， and down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of TSHR in the thyroid tissue， TRHR and TSHβ in the pituitary tissue， and TRH， CGA， GPX2， and TSHβ in the hypothalamic tissue （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， high- and medium-dose Xiaoyaosan and fluoxetine alleviated the pathological changes in the thyroid and pituitary tissue， outperforming the low-dose Xiaoyaosan group. Moreover， they elevated the serum levels of T3， T4， and TSH （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The serum TSH level was also elevated in the low-dose Xiaoyaosan group （P<0.05）. The mRNA and protein levels of TSHR in the thyroid， TRHR and TSHβ in the pituitary， and TRH， CGA， GPX2， and TSHβ in the hypothalamus were up-regulated in the high- and medium-dose Xiaoyaosan groups （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Additionally， the mRNA and protein levels of TSHβ in the hypothalamus were up-regulated in the low-dose Xiaoyaosan group （P<0.01）. In the fluoxetine group， the mRNA and protein levels of TSHR in the thyroid， TRHR in the pituitary， and TRH， CGA， and GPX2 in the hypothalamus were up-regulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionThe downregulation of CGA/GPX2/TSHβ pathway may be one of the biological mechanisms underlying HPT axis dysfunction in the rat model with the syndrome of liver depression and spleen deficiency. Xiaoyaosan may regulate the HPT axis dysfunction by up-regulating the CGA/GPX2/TSHβ pathway.

Objective: To analyze the serotypes and drug resistance of Salmonella isolated from food-borne disease surveillance samples in Longwan District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, so as to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of Salmonella infection. Methods: Salmonella strains isolated from feces or anal swabs of patients with foodborne diarrhea in Longwan District People's Hospital from 2018 to 2024 were collected. After re-identification, slide agglutination test was used to identify serotypes. The drug susceptibility test of live Salmonella strains was performed using the broth microdilution method, and the resistance patterns were analyzed. Results: A total of 2 293 samples were collected, and 186 strains of Salmonella were isolated, with a detection rate of 8.11%. The detection rate was higher from May to October. A total of 28 Salmonella serotypes were identified, with S. typhimurium (72 isolates, 38.71%), S. enteritidis (31 isolates, 16.67%), and S. London (30 isolates, 16.13%) being dominant. Among the 121 Salmonella live strains, 20 strains were susceptible to 14 antibacterial drugs. A total of 101 strains were resistant to antibacterial drugs, and the drug resistance rate was 1.65%-67.77%, with the drug resistance rate of ampicillin being the highest, and the drug resistance rate of imipenem was the lowest. S. typhimurium had the highest resistance rate to tetracycline (78.26%). S. enteritidis had the highest resistance rate to ampicillin (100.00%). S. London had the highest resistance rate to tetracycline (66.67%). Fifty-five types of drug resistance patterns were detected, showing a number of drug resistance of 1-10, of which 76 strains were multi-drug resistant, accounting for 75.25%. The predominant multidrug resistance patterns were ampicillin/sulbactam-cefazolin-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (10.53%), tetracycline-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (9.21%), and ampicillin/sulbactam-ampicillin-nalidixic acid (7.89%). Conclusions Salmonella strains isolated from foodborne diseases in Longwan District were mainly detected in summer and autumn. S. typhimurium, S. enteritidis, and S. London were the predominant serotypes. The drug resistance of Salmonella to different antibacterial drugs was different, and the drug resistance spectrum showed diversity.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of modified Chaihu Shugansan on the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ（CaMKⅡ）/cAMP-response element binding protein （CREB） signaling pathway in the hippocampus and heart tissue of a rat model with myocardial ischemia and depression and explore the mechanism by which this formula prevents and treats coronary heart disease combined with depression. MethodsThe model of myocardial ischemia combined with depression was established by high-fat diet， intraperitoneal injection of isoproterenol （ISO）， and chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS）. A total of 108 SD male rats were randomly divided into normal group， model group， high （23.4 g·kg^-1）， medium （11.7 g·kg^-1）， and low （5.85 g·kg^-1） dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan， CaMKⅡ inhibitor （KN93） group， and KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan， with 12 rats in each group. From the first day of modeling to the end of modeling， drugs were administered once a day. In the seventh and eighth weeks， the KN93 group and the KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan were intraperitoneally injected with KN93 three times weekly. At the end of the eighth week， behavioral tests including sucrose preference， open field， and elevated plus maze were conducted. Electrocardiogram （ECG） lead Ⅱ changes were observed in each group of rats， and hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was performed to observe changes in heart tissue. Serum levels of triglycerides （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high-density lipoprotein （HDL）， low-density lipoprotein （LDL）， and lactate dehydrogenase （LDH） were measured by using an enzyme-labeled instrument. Creatine kinase （CK） and creatine kinase-MB （CK-MB） were detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometry， while serum monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 （MCP-1） was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB in hippocampal and heart tissue， and Western blot was performed to assess protein expression of CaMKⅡ， phosphorylated （p）-CaMKⅡ， CREB， and p-CREB. ResultsCompared to the normal group， the model group showed significant reductions in sucrose preference rate， total activity distance in the open field， number of entries into the center area of the open field， and percentage of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze （P<0.01）. The ECG showed ST-segment elevation， and HE staining showed serious degeneration of myocardial fibers， disordered arrangement， and infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells. In addition， serum TC and LDL levels increased （P<0.01）， and HDL level decreased （P<0.01）. CK， CK-MB， LDH， and MCP-1 levels significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB and the protein expression of p-CaMKⅡ and p-CREB decreased in the hippocampal tissue （P<0.05， P<0.01）， but those increased in the heart tissue （P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， the high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan showed improvements in these abnormalities. The KN93 group had reduced sucrose preference， total activity distance in the open field， number of entries into the center area of the open field， and percentage of entries into the open arms of the elevated plus maze （P<0.01）， as well as decreased serum CK， CK-MB， LDH， and MCP-1 levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）. KN93 also reduced ST-segment elevation， alleviated the degeneration degree of myocardial fibrosis， and lowered inflammatory cell infiltration. The mRNA expression of CaMKⅡ and CREB and the protein expression of p-CaMKⅡ and p-CREB in both the hippocampal and heart tissue were reduced （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The KN93 + high， medium， and low dose groups of modified Chaihu Shugansan showed further improvements in these abnormalities compared to the KN93 group. ConclusionThe modified Chaihu Shugansan exerts antidepressant and myocardial protective effects in rats with myocardial ischemia and depression， possibly related to bidirectional regulation of the CaMKⅡ/CREB signaling pathway， with the high-dose modified Chaihu Shugansan showing the best effects.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized inhalation of recombinant human interferon (IFN) α1b injection in the treatment of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) associated lower respiratory tract infections (pneumonia and bronchiolitis) in children.Methods:A randomized, double-blind, parallel, placebo-controlled add-on design was used.Children with pneumonia or bronchiolitis aged 2 months to 5 years who tested positive for RSV antigen within 72 hours of onset from 30 clinical trial sites including Beijing Children′s Hospital, Capital Medical University between February 2021 and December 2022 were included in this study and randomly divided into 2 groups at a ratio of 1∶1 based on a stratified-block method.Both groups received basic treatments such as cough control, asthma relieving, expectorant treatment, fever reduction, oxygen therapy, etc.The experimental group received additional nebulized inhalation of IFN α1b injection at a dose of 2.0 μg/(kg·time), twice a day.The control group received nebulized inhalation of placebo twice a day.Clinical efficacy was evaluated based on indicators such as the duration of clinical symptoms and signs, and the Kaplan-Meier method was used to calculate the median and 95% CI of the duration of clinical symptoms and signs.The Log-rank test was used to compared data between groups.Safety was assessed through the incidence of adverse reactions and laboratory tests, and the Chi-square test was used to analyze the difference between groups. Results:There were 123 children in the experimental group and 122 children in the control group.The median durations of all the 5 clinical symptoms and signs [including shortness of breath, wheezing, dyspnea (visible retractions), decreased transcutaneous oxygen saturation, and abnormal mental state] in the experimental group after treatment were slightly shortened than those in the control group [2.7 d(95% CI: 1.9-3.0 d)] vs.[2.9 d(95% CI: 2.6-3.6 d), P=0.027].The improvement in dyspnea (retractions) was especially pronounced in the experimental group, with a relief rate of 50.0% (0, 100%) on the first day of administration[compared with 0 (0, 50.0%) in the control group ( Z=2.002, P=0.025)].The median duration of dyspnea in the experimental group was nearly 1 day shorter than that in the control group [1.0 d(95% CI: 0.7-1.7 d) vs.1.8 d(95% CI: 1.0-2.5 d), P=0.046].There were no significant difference in hospital stay [6.0(5.0, 8.0) d vs.6.5(5.0, 8.0) d, Z=0.675, P=0.500], oxygen therapy duration [32.0(14.0, 96.3) h vs.39.0 (24.0, 83.2) h, Z=0.094, P=0.925], the recovery rate from clinical symptoms during treatment [(105/106, 99.1%) vs.(96/101, 95.0%)], and recurrence rate [(0/106, 0) vs.(2/101, 2.0%)] between the 2 groups (all P>0.05).However, the above-mentioned four indicators in the experimental group showed a trend of clinical benefits.The quantitative virus detection results showed that the RSV viral load in both groups decreased after treatment compared to before treatment.After 2 days of treatment, the decline rate of RSV viral load from the baseline was 0.90 lg copies/(mL·d) in the experimental group and 0.25 lg copies/(mL·d)in the control group, with a statistically significant difference ( P<0.05).Furthermore, there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the 2 groups ( P>0.05).Importantly, no drug-related serious adverse reactions occurred in both groups. Conclusions:The nebulized inhalation therapy of IFN α1b demonstrates efficacy and safety in treating pediatric RSV associated lower respiratory tract infections.It particularly offers outstanding clinical therapeutic value for severe children.

Objective To investigate alterations in serum NOV/CCN3 levels among women during mid-to-late pregnancy and elucidate its association with gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)and pregnancy outcomes.Methods Based on the results of an oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT),we categorized 252 pregnant women into two groups:the GDM group and the control group.Within the GDM group,participants were further stratified based on pre-pregnancy body mass index levels and pregnancy outcomes.We collected clinical data for all study subjects and compared differences in general information,biochemical indicators,as well as NOV/CCN3 levels between these groups.Results The serum levels of NOV/CCN3 in the GDM group were significantly higher compared to those in the control group(P<0.001).Spearman correlation analysis revealed a positive association between serum NOV/CCN3 and pre-pregnancy body weight,pre-pregnancy body mass index,insulin resistance index,and total cholesterol;while a negative correlation was observed with insulin sensitivity index(P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that NOV/CCN3 is an independent risk factor for the development of GDM[OR=1.097,95%CI(1.020～1.179),P=0.013],as well as adverse pregnancy outcomes in GDM patients[OR=1.032,95%CI(1.020～1.045),P<0.001].ROC analysis indicated AUCs of 0.840 and 0.784 for these associations respectively(P<0.05).Conclusions Serum levels of NOV/CCN3 in pregnant women at mid-to late-stage are associated with obesity,insulin resistance,and glucose-lipid metabolism,suggesting a potential role of NOV/CCN3 in glycolipid metabolism during gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).These findings provide novel insights for assessing the occurrence of GDM and predicting pregnancy outcomes in mid-to late-stage pregnancies.

Wenpi decoction is a classic prescription published in the Catalogue of Ancient Classic Prescriptions(First Batch).By sorting out and analyzing the ancient and modern literature on Wenpi decoction,the key information of Wenpi decoction in terms of its origin,drug composition,function,dosage,processing,preparation method,decoction method,prescription meaning,main indica-tions,and clinical application was systematically verified.A total of 165 relevant ancient literature data,114 modern clinical litera-ture,and 66 ancient Chinese medical books were obtained.The inductive analysis found that Wenpi decoction was first seen in the Ex-cerpts of prescriptions of the Eastern Jin Dynasty,and Sun Simiao of the Tang Dynasty included it in the Important Formulas Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces for Emergency.The current version is based on the Wenpi decoction in Volume 15 of Important Formulas Worth a Thousand Gold Pieces for Emergency,Spleen Heat Dysentery.The formula is composed of rhubarb,ginseng,licorice,dried ginger,and aconite.The medicinal origin follows the 2020 edition of the Chinese Pharmacopoeia,with raw products of rhubarb,ginseng,and dried ginger,stir fried licorice,and dried aconite slices being used;in terms of drug dosage,rhubarb is 18.40 g,ginseng is 9.20 g,licorice is 9.20 g,dried ginger is 9.20 g,and aconite is 5.00 g;the preparation method is to add 1400 mL of water,decoct 600 mL,and take it warm in 3 times.This prescription was often used in ancient times to treat dysentery,cholera and other diseases.After be-ing developed by doctors in later generations,it is now also used to treat gastrointestinal diseases,renal failure,hypertension,insomnia and other diseases.The above research results can provide a reference for the development and subsequent research of Wenpi decoc-tion.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the selection strategy for recipient vessels in free flap reconstruction of head and neck defects.METHODS A retrospective analysis was conducted on 96 patients who underwent 99 free flap reconstructions for head and neck defects between January 2020 and December 2024.Recipient vessel selection,flap survival,and postoperative complications were analyzed based on defect location and flap type.RESULTS In 99 cases microvessel anastomosis,the recipient arteries were superior thyroid artery in 49 branches,facial artery in 28 branches,superficial temporal artery in 14 branches,lingual artery in 5 branches.external carotid artery in 1 branch,transverse cervical artery in 1 branch,and superior laryngeal artery in 1 branch.Venous anastomosis was performed in 104 branches,with 94 cases in 1 venous anastomosis and 5 cases in 2 venous anastomoses.The recipient veins selected were facial vein in 62 branches,external jugular vein in 21 branches,superficial temporal vein in 12 branches,retromandibular vein in 3 branches,middle thyroid vein in 2 branches,internal jugular vein in 2 branches,middle temporal vein in 1 branch,and superior thyroid vein in 1 branch.Complete flap necrosis occurred in 5 cases,and partial necrosis occurred in 4 cases.When the recipient vessels were deficient,the lingual artery was chosen in 3 cases,the facial artery in 1 case,the external jugular vein in 3 cases,the internal jugular vein with end-to-side anastomosis in 1 case,and the common facial vein with end-to-side anastomosis in 1 case.CONCLUSION In free flap reconstruction for head and neck defects,the superior thyroid artery,facial artery,and superficial temporal artery are commonly used as recipient arteries,while the facial vein,external jugular vein,and superficial temporal vein are frequently selected as recipient veins.When recipient vessels are scarce,the ipsilateral lingual artery,transverse cervical artery,and main trunk of the internal jugular vein can serve as alternative recipient vessels.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the repair strategies for temporal bone-parotid composite defects,compare the clinical applicability of local muscle flaps and free flaps,and provide references for optimizing the reconstruction of complex head and neck defects.METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the medical records of 17 patients with postoperative defects in the temporal bone-parotid region treated at Beijing Tongren Hospital,Capital Medical University,between January 2018 and June 2023.There were 11 males and 6 females,with a median age of 58 years(range:42-72 years).All patients had undergone radical resection.Defects were reconstructed with local flaps in 13 cases(temporalis muscle flap,n=6;sternocleidomastoid flap,n=3;submental platysma flap,n=2;submental island flap,n=2)and with free flaps in 4 cases(anterolateral thigh fascial flap,n=1;anterolateral thigh flap,n=1;free abdominal adipofascial flap,n=2).RESULTS The primary diseases of the 17 patients were malignant tumors of the external auditory canal and parotid gland(6 cases of squamous cell carcinoma,6 cases of adenoid cystic carcinoma,and 3 cases of ductal carcinoma).All flaps survived completely.One patient with temporalis muscle flap repair developed postoperative wound infection,which healed after debridement and dressing change.The median follow-up period was 16 months(4-29 months).Two cases(11.8%)of external auditory canal squamous cell carcinoma had local recurrence,one case(5.9%)of parotid ductal carcinoma developed pulmonary metastasis 9 months after surgery and died at 15 months.The remaining 14 cases(82.4%)were tumor-free survivors.Functional evaluation showed that the local tissue flap group had a shorter repair time,but was limited by muscle flap rotation arc;the free flap group could accurately match the defect shape,but the surgical time was prolonged to 3.5-4.5 hours.Fourteen cases(82.4%)received postoperative adjuvant radiotherapy.None of the tissue flaps developed radiation necrosis after radiotherapy.CONCLUSION Temporal bone-parotid composite defects need to balance the dual requirements of surgical cavity coverage and cosmetic repair.Local muscle flaps are easy to operate and have reliable blood supply,suitable for small and medium-sized defects;free tissue flaps have better shape adaptability in complex three-dimensional defect reconstruction,but require microsurgical technical support.The repair plan should be comprehensively decided based on the defect range,vascular conditions,and radiotherapy plan.The data of this group confirmed that both techniques can achieve stable therapeutic effects.

IgA nephropathy（IgAN）is the most common primary glomerular disease，characterized by the deposition of IgA in the glomerular mesangial area. IgAN is a progressive disease with a protracted and relapsing course. Approximately 50%~75% of adult IgAN patients experience renal function deterioration and eventually progress to end-stage kidney disease（ESKD）within 20 years after diagnosis. Among patients with onset in childhood，about 30% ultimately progress to ESKD after 20 years of long-term follow-up. In recent years，numerous studies have continuously explored important signaling pathways and key molecules in its pathogenesis. This review introduces the therapeutic advances in IgAN，aiming to provide better treatment options for clinicians.
