ObjectiveTo quantitatively analyze and evaluate the content of China's assistive technology industry policies. MethodsBased on the three-dimensional framework of policy "objectives-instruments-intensity", this study examined 101 national-level assistive technology industry policies issued between 2011 and 2024. Policy text analysis was conducted to assess the matching and coordination among policy objectives, policy instruments and policy intensity. Furthermore, the policy modeling consistency (PMC) index model was applied to establish an evaluation system consisting of nine primary indicators and 35 secondary indicators, and six key policies were quantitatively evaluated. ResultsThe policy objectives mainly focused on optimizing the industrial development structure, also emphasized supportive environments for industrial development and the enhancement of innovation capacity. Policy instruments were dominated by supply-oriented and environment-oriented instruments, supplemented by demand-oriented instruments, aiming to strengthen technological foundations and competitiveness, promote standardized development, and facilitate industrial development and upgrading. Regarding the matching between policy objectives and instruments, multiple instruments were adopted to support different objectives, with different priorities. In terms of the matching between policy objectives and policy intensity, policies mainly emphasized improving the accessibility of assistive technology products and meeting the rehabilitation needs of different populations. Regarding the matching between policy instruments and policy intensity, supply-oriented instruments were more frequently adopted and showed higher policy intensity, indicating strong governmental efforts to optimize production factor allocation and enhance the capacity of market entities. The average PMC index score was 6.45, indicating relatively high policy quality, strong internal consistency, stable policy orientation, and clear objectives. The PMC scores for policy evaluation and policy instrument dimensions were relatively high, while some policies showed relatively narrow objectives. ConclusionChina's assistive technology industry policies demonstrate relatively high quality. Future policy development should further strengthen industrial innovation capacity, optimize the structure of policy instruments, and improve the alignment between policy objectives and instruments.

Ulcerative colitis(UC)is a chronic inflammatory bowel disease affecting the colon(particularly the descending colon and sigmoid)and rectum.UC primarily presents with persistent or recurrent diarrhea,abdominal pain,bloody stools,and other symptoms.The primary pathological mechanism of UC involves intestinal barrier injury.When the intestinal barrier function is compromised,characterized by loss of epithelial layer integrity,thinning of the mucus layer,and microbiota dysregulation,pathogenic microorganisms can infiltrate the lamina propria from the intestinal lumen through the damaged barrier,triggering and exacerbating the intestinal inflammatory response.Current treatments for UC are limited by high costs,numerous adverse reactions,and a high likelihood of relapse.Consequently,there is an urgent need for the development of new drugs that can effectively and safely treat UC.Natural products have become significant research targets in treating various diseases due to their broad biological activity,multiple action targets,low toxicity,and easy availability.They play a crucial role in the targeted repair of the intestinal barrier,with potential mechanisms including enhancing intes-tinal epithelial cells and their secreted proteins,regulating gut microbiota and its metabolism,and balancing immune cell subsets.Additionally,it is essential to consider the synergistic effects,bioavailability,and safety of natural products.This paper summarizes the natural products reported in the past five years for their anti-UC properties by repairing the intestinal barrier,providing a theoretical basis for the development and application of natural products in anti-UC drugs.

Diabetic foot ulcer is a serious and destructive complication of diabetes, with the rates of disability and mortality increasing year by year, which poses a serious threat to human physical and mental health. In the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), the combination of syndrome differentiation and overall concept can not only alleviate TCM syndrome but also accelerate wound healing, reduce wound recurrence, delay the further deterioration of diabetic foot ulcer, and decrease the rates of disability and mortality. Modern studies have demonstrated that the difficult healing of diabetic foot ulcer is closely associated with the abnormal distribution of cytokines such as inflammatory cytokines, growth factors, and chemokines. With the deepening of modern medical research on TCM, the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer via regulation of cytokines by Chinese medicinal monomers and prescriptions has become a research focus. This paper summarizes the current research status at home and abroad and draws the following conclusions. ① Sesamol, geniposide, Danggui Buxuetang, and Zizhu ointment can regulate tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-10 and other inflammatory cytokines to inhibit wound inflammation. ② Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, salvianolic acid B, Sixiao powder, Badu Shengji ointment (Zhuang medicine), etc., regulate vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF) and other growth factors to promote collagen deposition and angiogenesis on wound surface. ③ Paeoniflorin, cryptanshinone, bee venom, and Huiyang Shengji decoction regulate CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 1, CXCL2, C-C chemokine ligand (CCL) 2, CCL3, stromal cell-derived factor-1α (SDF-1α), monocyte chemoattract protein-1 (MCP-1) and other chemokines to reduce inflammatory response and promote neovascularization and wound granulation tissue formation. ④ In the treatment of diabetic foot ulcer, Chinese medicinal monomers and prescriptions have different and complicated mechanisms. The multi-target treatment manner determines that Chinese medicines can act on a variety of cytokines to participate in various stages of wound healing and thus play a therapeutic role. The conclusion above aims to provide ideas for the experimental research and clinical treatment of diabetic foot ulcer with TCM in the future.

AIM: To investigate the effects of phorbol ester (TPA) on the anti-tumor effect and renal toxicity of cisplatin (CP). METHODS: MTT assay was used to examine the effect of TPA on the proliferation inhibition of CP in A549 and SPC-A-1 lung cancer cells. Also the effect of TPA on acute toxicity of CP was observed by once injection of high dose CP through caudal vein; The tumor-bearing mice model was explored to investigate the effect of TPA on tumor inhibition ratio and renal toxicity of CP in vivo. And the effect of TPA on renal oxidative stress induced by CP was detected. RESULTS: 1 ng/mL TPA could significantly enhance the inhibitory effect of CP on cell proliferation. In acute toxicity test, TPA could significantly reduce the toxicity of CP and prolong the survival time of animals. And the tumor weight (P<0.05), serum creatinine (P<0.05) and urea nitrogen levels (P<0.01) in TPA combined with CP group were significantly lower than those in CP group. Meanwhile, the results of HE staining showed that the renal tissue damage was significantly reduced in the combined group compared with CP group. The contents of MDA in renal tissue were decreased (P<0.01). However, the contents of GSH and the activity of SOD were increased (P<0.05) in TPA and CP combined group. CONCLUSION: TPA can enhance the inhibitory effect of CP on cell proliferation and inhibit tumor growth in tumor-bearing mice. At the same time, TPA can reduce the renal toxicity of CP, which may be related to the inhibition of renal oxidative stress induced by CP.

Objective:To investigate the application value of Laennec approach in laparoscopic anatomical right hemihepatectomy (LARH).Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 2 female patients who underwent LARH via Laennec approach in the First Affiliated Hospital of Kangda College of Nanjing Medical University from May to July 2020 were collected. The two patients were 51 and 57 years old, respectively. Observation indicators: (1) surgical situations; (2) postoperative situations and follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examination and telephone interview was conducted to detect post-operative survival and tumor recurrence of patients up to December 2020. Count data were repre-sented as absolute numbers.Results:(1) Surgical situations: 2 patients successfully underwent LARH via Laennec approach, without conversion to open surgery. The operation time was 180 minutes and 185 minutes, and the volume of intraoperative blood loss was 200 mL and 400 mL, respectively. No blood transfusion or gastrointestinal decompression was performed in either patient. (2) Postoperative situations and follow-up: 2 patients began to take liquid diet on the first day and out-of-bed activities on the postoperative second to third day. There was no postoperative bile fistula or bleeding, but different degrees of peritoneal and pleural effusion occurred to the 2 patients after operation. One case was improved after right-sided thoracentesis and chest tube drainage due to dyspnea, and the other case was cured after conservative therapy. There was no perioperative death. The duration of postoperative hospital stay of 2 patients was 13 days and 11 days, respectively. Results of pathological examination showed 1 case of hepatic hemangioma and 1 case of primary liver cancer, respectively. The Laennec capsule was observed on the hepatic vein branches of segment Ⅴ, Ⅵ, Ⅶ, Ⅷ, and the gap existed between the Laennec capsule and the hepatic vein. Two patients were followed up for 7 months and 5 months,respectively. They survived during the follow-up,without tumor recurrence.Conclusion:It is safe and feasible to perform LARH by Laennec approach.
