Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)is unique health resource,economic resources,scientific and technological resource of China.In recent years,the international dissemination of TCM has been gradually expanding,and its influence has been constantly improving.The first foreign-aid TCM Corps dispatched to assist Cambodia has provided a new path for the promotion of TCM overseas.This research applies the SWOT method to analyze and conclude that the overseas promotion of TCM by foreign-aid TCM Corps has the advantages of strong promotion,wide scope,deep degree and good effect.And the disadvantages are unsound management mechanism,the difficulties of setting up and working overseas,and the challenges of transporting and exporting TCM equipment and medicines.With opportunity of the national policy support,the increasing international recognition and demand,and the good ward in global epidemic situation,we still need to deal with the challenges of cultural barriers,legal barriers,and the intensification of global competition in the substitution of traditional medicine.With regard to the overseas promotion of TCM by foreign-aid TCM Corps,it is proposed to form a regular establishment of foreign-aid TCM Corps,promote the formation of a joint force for the overseas promotion of Chinese medicine,optimize the environment for the export of Chinese medicine,and strengthens the cultivation of talents both at home and abroad.

Nanobodies derived from camelids and sharks offer unique advantages in therapeutic applications due to their ability to bind to epitopes that were previously inaccessible. Traditional methods of nanobody development face challenges such as ethical concerns and antigen toxicity. Our study presents a synthetic, phagedisplayed nanobody library using trinucleotide-directed mutagenesis technology, which allows precise amino acid composition in complementarity-determining regions (CDRs), with a focus on CDR3 diversity. This approach avoids common problems such as frameshift mutations and stop codon insertions associated with other synthetic antibody library construction methods. By analyzing FDA-approved nanobodies and Protein Data Bank sequences, we designed sub-libraries with different CDR3 lengths and introduced amino acid substitutions to improve solubility. The validation of our library through the successful isolation of nanobodies against targets such as PD-1, ATXN1 and STAT3 demonstrates a versatile and ethical platform for the development of high specificity and affinity nanobodies and represents a significant advance in biotechnology.

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.

As the only translational factor that plays a critical role in two translational processes (elongation and ribosome regeneration), GTPase elongation factor G (EF-G) is a potential target for antimicrobial agents. Both Mycobacterium smegmatis and Mycobacterium tuberculosis have two EF-G homologous coding genes, MsmEFG1 (MSMEG_1400) and MsmEFG2 (MSMEG_6535), fusA1 (Rv0684) and fusA2 (Rv0120c), respectively. MsmEFG1 (MSMEG_1400) and fusA1 (Rv0684) were identified as essential genes for bacterial growth by gene mutation library and bioinformatic analysis. To investigate the biological function and characteristics of EF-G in mycobacterium, two induced EF-G knockdown strains (Msm-ΔEFG1(KD) and Msm-ΔEFG2(KD)) from Mycobacterium smegmatis were constructed by clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats interference (CRISPRi) technique. EF-G2 knockdown had no effect on bacterial growth, while EF-G1 knockdown significantly retarded the growth of mycobacterium, weakened the film-forming ability, changed the colony morphology, and increased the length of mycobacterium. It was speculated that EF-G might be involved in the division of bacteria. Minimal inhibitory concentration assay showed that inhibition of EF-G1 expression enhanced the sensitivity of mycobacterium to rifampicin, isoniazid, erythromycin, fucidic acid, capreomycin and other antibacterial agents, suggesting that EF-G1 might be a potential target for screening anti-tuberculosis drugs in the future.

Objective:To explore the influencing factors of embryos quality during the cycle of in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) and pregnancy outcomes of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Methods:A retrospective case-control study design was used to analyze patients who received IVF/ICSI treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Center of Tianjin Central Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital from January 2015 to December 2019, underwent whole embryo cryopreserved and performed the first FET. The 1233 cycles included were divided into control group ( n=561) and PCOS group ( n=672) according to PCOS diagnosis. The general clinical characteristics, laboratory-related indicators and pregnancy outcomes of patients between the two groups were compared, and the affecting factors of the late miscarriage rate were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression. Results:1) In terms of the general clinical characteristics between the two groups, the differences of duration of infertility [(3.95±2.01) years vs. (4.84±2.91) years, P=0.007], body mass index (BMI) [(21.96±2.52) kg/m 2vs. (23.96±3.50) kg/m 2, P<0.001], basal luteinizing hormone [(4.71±2.38) mU/L vs. (8.18±5.40) mU/L, P<0.001], basal estradiol [(45.49±31.80) ng/L vs. (56.67±54.17) ng/L, P=0.032], basal testosterone [(42.80±13.45) ng/L vs. (53.45±38.67) ng/L, P=0.001], gonadortopin initial used dosage [(230.80±54.07) U vs. (192.11±53.79) U, P<0.001] were statistically significant. The endometrium preparation plan in the FET cycle, more PCOS group patients received hormone replacement treatment [64.1% (431/672) vs. 26.6% (149/561)], while more patients in control group received natural cycle transplantation [73.4% (412/561) vs. 35.9% (241/672)], and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). 2) In terms of the laboratory results, the number of oocytes retrieved in PCOS group (23.36±9.53) was higher than that in control group (20.32±8.81, P=0.002). The number of high-quality embryos and the rate of high-quality embryos in PCOS group [2.94±3.13; 33.3% (2016/6048)] were lower than those in control group [4.17±3.65, P=0.034; 46.3% (2339/5049), P<0.001], and the differences were statistically significant. 3) In the pregnancy outcomes, the high-quality embryo transfer rate and the biochemical pregnancy rate in control group were higher than those in PCOS group [71.0% (743/1046) vs. 59.3% (761/1284), P<0.001; 7.3% (41/561) vs. 4.5% (30/672), P=0.033], and the late miscarriage rate in PCOS group [10.3% (43/418)] was higher than that in control group [4.3% (16/326), P=0.002]. 4) Logistic regression analysis was performed on the influencing factors of late miscarriage. After correcting the confounding factors, PCOS ( OR=2.573, 95% CI=1.270-5.212, P=0.009) and maternal high BMI ( OR=1.080, 95% CI=0.991-1.176, P=0.031) were the risk factors for late miscarriage. Conclusion:The number of high-quality embryos and the rate of high-quality embryos in PCOS patients were lower than those in non-PCOS patients. PCOS and high BMI were risk factors for late miscarriage in patients. Improving endocrine disorders and weight control in PCOS patients before fertility treatment is of positive significance for improving the pregnancy outcome of patients.
