This article adopts Professor CHEN Chaozu′s " sanjiao composed by membrane-striae" theory as its foundation to explore the relationship between irritable bowel syndrome and functional/structural abnormalities of the membrane-striae. Sanjiao encompasses both the tangible membrane and the intangible striae. These striae permeate the entire body，and their pathological changes comprehensively reflect qi，body fluids，and fasciae. Based on the physiological function of the membrane-striae in regulating qi and fluids，the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome is characterized by a disharmony of membrane-striae and an imbalance of the qi-fluid interactions. In the early stage，external pathogens，emotional factors，or dietary stimuli often cause membrane-striae constriction and disordered qi-fluid circulation. In the middle stage，stagnant fluids gradually transform into phlegm retention，leading to membrane-striae obstruction. In the late stage，deficiency of vital qi becomes predominant，manifesting as laxity of membrane-striae with impaired control or weakened conduction. The treatment of irritable bowel syndrome should adopt " unblocking" as the guiding principle. In the early stage，therapy should focus on eliminating pathogenic factors and soothing membrane-striae to promptly restore qi-fluid circulation，thereby attaining unblocking through spasm relief. In the middle stage，treatment should focus on resolving tangible obstructions in membrane-striae，achieving unblocking via dredging. In the late stage，the emphasis should shift to reinforcing healthy qi，particularly by strengthening spleen-kidney yang qi，and achieving unblocking through supplementation. Concurrently，throughout the entire treatment process，the regulation of mental state and easing of emotional tension should be integrated to alleviate patient′s anxiety，achieving the goal of holistic treatment of both body and mind.

Objective To analyze the distribution status of the end digits of standardized blood pressure measurement recordings in the clinic and the effectiveness of standardized blood pressure measurement for community hypertension screening. Methods The first visit blood pressure measurement data from the Community Health Service Center in Jing'an District, Shanghai from June 2023 to May 2024 were collected and analyzed. According to different measurement methods, the data were divided into two groups: standardized blood pressure measurement and conventional blood pressure measurement. SPSS 19.0 software was used for data analysis. The differences in the distribution balance of the end digits of blood pressure values and the detection rate of blood pressure elevation between the two different groups were analyzed. Results The frequency range of the end digits of blood pressure recorded values in the standardized pressure measurement group was 9.42% to 10.83%, and the detection rate of elevated blood pressure was 24.89%. The conventional pressure measurement group had a preference of the end digit ^"0^", and the detection rate of elevated blood pressure was only 2.12%. The results of multiple logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age, season, and different blood pressure measurement modes were all influencing factors for the detection rate of elevated blood pressure. Conclusion The standardized blood pressure measurement mode in the clinic is suitable for community hypertension screening and pressure measurement, with higher data quality than the conventional pressure measurement mode.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a lethal cancer with high morbidity rates worldwide. It is a major threat to public health in China, due to the combination of known and new risk factors, such as endemic hepatitis B virus (HBV), dietary aflatoxin exposure, and the occurrence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Although many methods for surveillance and multimodal therapies, such as surgery, local ablation, transarterial therapy, and new systemic agents, have been available, the survival rates of HCC remains poor. They have very limited durable responses, long post-treatment recurrence rates, and high resistance to treatment. This reflects an imperfect picture of the biological cause of the disease and a need for new mechanistic or targeted techniques. A significant characteristic of HCC, in common with other aggressive cancers, is the presence of reprogrammed, hyperactive cell metabolism. Tumor cells hijack metabolic pathways to promote their uncontrolled growth, stress survival, invasion and metastasis. While classical mechanisms such as the Warburg effect, lipid metabolism and glutamine utilization have been understood, the lysosome, which was once viewed as a static “waste disposal unit” to remove old organelles and proteins, is instead a dynamic signaling and metabolic core. The lysosomes incorporate nutrients, energy and stress signals by master regulators such as mTORC1 (activated on its surface) that balance anabolic growth and catabolic recycling to the cellular demands. In HCC, lysosomes are not passive, but are highly active and dysregulated. HCC cells upregulate lysosomes, which scavenge intracellular components via enhanced autophagy and engulf extracellular proteins via macropinocytosis, crucial for survival in the nutrient-poor, hypoxic tumor microenvironment. In addition to metabolism, lysosomes exhibit pro-invasive functions by secreting hydrolases to remodel the extracellular matrix, promote angiogenesis, and suppress stromal immune cells to foster a pro-tumor microenvironment. In a clinical context, lysosomes play an important role in therapeutic resistance: they sequester and inactivate chemotherapeutics via lysosomal sequestration, and enhanced autophagic flux protects the cell from therapy-induced damage, contributing to relapse, as lysosomal dysfunction is a key cause of treatment failure. This makes lysosomes promising yet challenging therapeutic targets in HCC. Recent preclinical and early clinical studies investigate multiple strategies to exploit the susceptibility of lysosomes: lysosome-specific agents, alkalinizing the lysosome lumen or inducing membrane permeabilization and lysosome-dependent cell death; pharmacological inhibition of key lysosomal enzymes or autophagy to impair nutrient recycling and stress adaptation; smart nanotherapeutic agents or antibody-drug conjugates, specifically activated in the acidic lysosomal environment or utilizing lysosomal pathways for efficient intracellular drug release; and combination strategies of lysosome-targeting agents with tyrosine kinase inhibitors or immunotherapy to overcome resistance and achieve synergistic antitumor effects. In summary, our review systematically presents the role of lysosomes in HCC, from metabolic reprogramming and microenvironmental adaptation to therapeutic resistance. By synthesizing the latest mechanistic insights and preclinical advances, this review highlights the indispensable role of lysosomes in the complex HCC biological network, emphasizing that an in-depth understanding of this dynamic organelle holds great promise for developing innovative, targeted therapies, offering new hope for improving the poor prognosis of global HCC patients.

Health economics evidence plays an important role in linking clinical value evidence with health resource allocation decisions in the development of clinical practice guidelines. It can not only effectively balance clinical effectiveness and economic feasibility but also avoid forming "idealized" recommendations that are detached from the affordability of the healthcare system or the burden-bearing capacity of patients. To promote guideline developers to use health economics evidence more standardizedly and fully, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the current application status, existing challenges, access channels, and application processes of health economics evidence in current guidelines, and on this basis, puts forward considerations and suggestions for strengthening and standardizing the application of health economics evidence in China's clinical practice guidelines.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate the differential mechanisms underlying the staged therapeutic effects of Qijia Rougan formula on liver fibrosis using proteomic technology. MethodsThe staged rat model of liver fibrosis was established by subcutaneous injection of carbon tetrachloride （CCl₄） and olive oil. One hundred and four SD rats were randomized into thirteen groups：a normal group，a two-week model group，a four-week model group，a six-week model group，an eight-week model group，a two-week Qijia Rougan formula group，a four-week Qijia Rougan formula group，a six-week Qijia Rougan formula group，an eight-week Qijia Rougan formula group，a two-week compound Biejia Ruangan tablet group，a four-week Compound Biejia Ruangan Tablet group，a six-week Compound Biejia Ruangan Tablet group，and an eight-week compound Biejia Ruangan tablet group. After two weeks of drug intervention，liver tissue and abdominal aortic blood samples were collected from the rats for testing. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining，Masson staining，and Picro Sirius red staining were used to observe pathological damage and collagen fiber deposition in liver tissues. Immunohistochemistry （IHC） was employed to detect the contents of fibrosis markers in liver tissues. The contents of liver function indicators in the serum were measured using a fully automated biochemical analyzer，and the levels of liver fibrosis indicators in the serum were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Liver tissues from the normal group，each model group，and each Qijia Rougan formula group were subjected to label-free quantitative proteomic analysis to identify differential proteins among the groups，with key proteins validated by Western blot. Finally，bioinformatics analysis was performed on the differential proteins. Results（1） The staged rat model of liver fibrosis constructed with CCl₄ and olive oil showed pathological results at the 2^nd，4^th，6^th，and 8^th weeks of modeling that were consistent with the Metavir standards for the F1，F2，F3，and F4 stages. Compared with those in the normal control group，the protein expressions of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） and Collagen Ⅰ were significantly increased in each stage （P<0.05）. The levels of liver function indicators in the serum，including alanine aminotransferase （ALT），aspartate aminotransferase （AST），alkaline phosphatase （ALP），direct bilirubin （DBIL），and total bilirubin （TBil） in each model group，were significantly elevated in each stage （P<0.01）. The levels of liver fibrosis indicators in the serum，including procollagen Ⅲ peptide （PⅢP），type Ⅳ collagen（Ⅳ-C），hyaluronic acid （HA），and laminin （LN） in each model group，were significantly increased in each stage （P<0.05，P<0.01）. This study successfully established a staged rat model of liver fibrosis. （2） Compared with the model groups at each stage，the administration groups showed a reduction in hepatocyte ballooning degeneration，a more orderly arrangement of hepatocytes，and a decrease of inflammatory cell infiltration. The blue-stained collagen fibers became significantly thinner and finer，with reduced and narrowed fibrous septa. The areas of collagen fibers and Picro Sirius red staining were reduced （P<0.05）. The positive areas of α-SMA and Collagen Ⅰ expression were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. The levels of ALT，AST，ALP，DBIL，and TBil in the rats of the model groups at each stage were significantly reduced （P<0.05，P<0.01）. The levels of PⅢP，Ⅳ-C，HA，and LN in the rats of the model groups at each stage were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Among these，the improvements in all indicators were most significant in the F3 stage （P<0.01）.（3） The proteomic results show that a total of 165 differential proteins exhibit a callback trend when comparing the model groups at four stages with the normal group，and when comparing the Qijia Rougan formula group with the model group. Western blot analysis reveals that the levels of NAD（P）H：quinone oxidoreductase 1 （NQO1），mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 （MAPK1），arginase 1 （Arg1），and glutathione S-transferase α1 （GSTA1） were consistent with the proteomic results. Bioinformatics results reveal that 165 differentially expressed proteins are enriched in multiple signaling pathways. Notably，signaling pathways such as drug metabolism-cytochrome P450，arginine biosynthesis，and the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor （PPAR） signaling pathway were found to be closely associated with liver fibrosis，suggesting that the Qijia Rougan formula may exert its staged regulatory effects on liver fibrosis by regulating these pathways. ConclusionThe Qijia Rougan formula may achieve staged regulation of liver fibrosis by regulating drug metabolism-cytochrome P450，arginine biosynthesis，and the PPAR signaling pathway.

Objective: To investigate the association of special family structure and physical activity with psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students, so as to provide reference to inform mental health promotion in the population. Methods: From September to December 2024, a convenience sample was drawn from 16 schools including 5 141 secondary vocational school students across 8 provinces (municipalities) in China (Fujian, Chongqing, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hubei, Jiangxi, Shanghai, Zhejiang). A self developed questionnaire, Multidimensional Sub health Questionnaire of Adolescents and International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form were used to investigate and evaluate basic information, family structure, psychological sub health status and physical activity. Descriptive statistics and Logistic regression analysis were performed to explore relationships of special family structures and physical activity with psychological sub health in secondary vocational school students. Results: The detection rate of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students was 11.0%. The reporting rates for secondary vocational school students who lost their father or lost their mother, whose parents divorced, whose parents remarried, and those from special family structures were 2.8%, 0.8%, 11.8%, 3.9%, and 14.7%, respectively. Moreover, the detection rates of psychological sub health and its sub dimensions significantly differed among secondary vocational school students grouped by family type (divorced parental families, remarried parental families and special family structures)( χ 2=5.90-22.67, all P <0.05). Binary Logistic regression indicated that maternal bereavement was associated with a higher risk of conduct problems [ AOR ( 95% CI )= 2.90(1.15-7.33)], and parental divorce was associated with a higher risk of psychological sub health ( AOR= 2.71 , 95%CI =1.04- 7.06 ) among secondary vocational school students (both P <0.05). Interaction analysis showed that both students with a special family structure and insufficient physical activity [ AOR (95% CI )=1.99(1.44-2.75)] and those with a non-special family structure and insufficient physical activity [ AOR (95% CI )=1.81(1.48-2.22)] were associated with increased risks of psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students (both P <0.01). Conclusion Special family structure and physical activity are associated with psychological sub health among secondary vocational school students; early identification and assessment based interventions for those with a special family structure should be strengthened, while school based physical activity should be implemented to increase physical activity levels,thereby reducing the risk of psychological sub health.

Based on the holistic concept of the integration of body and mind， this paper systematically elucidates the movement characteristics， mechanisms of action， and rehabilitative effects of the integrated regulation of body and mind in traditional exercise therapy from the three core dimensions of regulating the body， regulating qi， and regulating the mind. Its movement are characterized by mind-guided movements integrating reflection and qi， relaxed and resilient movements of both body and mind， balanced movements integrating deficiency and excess while maintaining balanced body-mind alignment， and slow movements combining motion with stillness. The underlying mechanisms involve externally mobilizing the limbs while internally regulating the zang-fu （脏腑） organs， dredging the meridians， connecting the interior and exterior， promoting the integrated regulation of body， qi， and mind， and coordinating the interaction between body and mind to regulate overall physiological function， thereby improving cognitive， motor， cardiopulmonary， and other functional outcomes during rehabilitation.

Objective: To explore the role of the c.598G>A mutation of the ITGB3 gene in the occurrence of fetal and neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (FNAIT) through its expression in vitro. Methods: The platelet antibodies in the sera of the affected neonate and her mother were detected using commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), solid-phase agglutination, flow cytometry and the gold standard monoclonal antibody-specific immobilization of platelet antigens (MAIPA). The common human platelet antigen (HPA) genotypes of the neonate and her parents were obtained using the HPA-SSP method. The presence of mutations was analyzed by sequencing the exons of the ITGB3 and ITGA2B genes. The target gene of ITGB3 was obtained by PCR amplification using the existing human platelet cDNA. The wild-type ITGB3 eukaryotic expression vector was constructed by TA cloning technology. The 598G>A mutant ITGB3 eukaryotic expression vector was obtained by point mutation, and the plasmid DNA was co-transfected with that of ITGA2B (αⅡb) into HEK293 cells. The transfected cells stably expressing GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa were screened and obtained. The expression of GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa in 598G>A mutant transfected cells and the presence of antibodies against this mutation in the serum of mother were detected by flow cytometry and MAIPA. Results: Antibodies against HLA-class Ⅰ and GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa glycoproteins were detected in the serum of the neonate's mother, and subsequent HLA antibody-specific testing confirmed the presence of antibodies against HLA-B 57∶01 and A 02∶05. ITGB3 sequencing showed that the neonate and her father carried the c.598G>A point mutation, which results in the change of glutamate to lysine at position 200. Antibodies against GP Ⅱb/Ⅲa glycoproteins were not detected using constructed c.598G>A mutant transfected cells reacted with the maternal serum. Conclusion: The in vitro expression and analysis of the ITGB3 c.598G>A mutation did not support a role for this mutation in the pathogenesis of FNAIT. The establishment of this method facilitates the discovery of new platelet low-frequency antigens, and provides a theoretical foundation for the detection of antibodies against platelet antigens associated with patients with adverse pregnancy and childbirth histories.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical efficacy of Qihuang needle therapy for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) children with sleep disorder. METHODS: A total of 60 ASD children with sleep disorder were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, 30 cases in each group. Both groups were treated with structured education intervention, 60 min each time, once a day, 6 times a week. Qihuang needle therapy was applied at Yintang (GV24⁺), Baihui (GV20) and bilateral Jueyinshu (BL14), Xinshu (BL15) in the observation group, multi-direction needling was delivered and without needle retaining. The treatment was given 2 times a week, each treatment was delivered at interval of 2 days at least. Behavioral intervention was adopted in the control group. Treatment for consecutive 12 weeks was required in both groups. Before and after treatment, the scores of children's sleep habits questionnaire (CSHQ), the autism behavior checklist (ABC), the childhood autism rating scale (CARS), and the childhood autism behavior scale (CABS) were observed in the two groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the scores of CSHQ, ABC, CARS and CABS were decreased compared with those before treatment (P<0.01), and the above scores in the observation group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Qihuang needle therapy can effectively treat ASD with sleep disorder, improve the core symptoms of ASD and the sleep quality.
