The paper introduces Professor LIU Xing's clinical experience and characteristics of integrative acupuncture and medication in treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia (PTN). It is believed that the essential pathogenesis of PTN is pathogenic wind, and qi and blood obstruction results from invasion of pathogenic wind. Hence, dispelling wind is the key principle of treatment. Palpation is done at first in the neck, face and buccal mucosal region to detect the masses in treatment. Acupotomy is operated at the masses distributed at Shangguan (GB3), Xiaguan (ST7) and the white line of buccal mucosa, so as to release masses. Additionally, five-wind points (Fengfu [GV16], bilateral Fengchi [GB20], Yifeng [TE17], Bingfeng [SI12] and Fengmen [BL12]), three-nape points (bilateral Naokong [GB19], Tianzhu [BL10] and Jianjing [GB21]) and three-governor-vessel points (Baihui [GV20], Zhiyang [GV9] and Yintang [GV24+]) are selected to dispel wind and stop pain. Besides, herbal decoction (wu feng tang) and blood-letting at ear apex are administered in combination. The integration of acupuncture and medication obtains a holistic effect on PTN by dispelling wind pathogen, and promoting qi and blood circulation.

The precise and rapid monitoring of multiple organ dysfunction is crucial in drug discovery. Traditional methods, such as pathological analysis, are often time-consuming and inefficient. Here, we developed a multiplexed near-infrared window two (NIR-II) fluorescent bioimaging method that allows for real-time, rapid, and quantitative assessment of multiple organ dysfunctions. Given that existing probes did not fully meet requirements, we synthesized a range of NIR-II hemicyanine dyes (HDs) with varying absorption and emission wavelengths. By modifying these dyes, we achieved high spatial and temporal resolution imaging of the liver, kidneys, stomach, and intestines. This method was further applied to investigate disorders induced by cisplatin, a drug known to cause gastric emptying issues along with liver and kidney injuries. By monitoring the metabolic rate of the dyes in these organs, we accurately quantified multi-organ dysfunction, which was also confirmed by gold-standard pathological analysis. Additionally, we evaluated the effects of five aristolochic acids (AAs) on multiple organ dysfunction. For the first time, we identified that AA-I and AA-II could cause gastric emptying disorders, which was further validated through transcriptomics analysis. Our study introduces a novel approach for the simultaneous monitoring of multi-organ dysfunction, which may significantly enhance the evaluation of drug side effects.

Abstract
In recent years, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents has risen rapidly, posing a serious threat to their physical and mental health. To provide scientific, systematic, and standardized weight management guidance for overweight and obese children and adolescents, the study focuses on the core concept of healthy lifestyle intervention, integrates multidisciplinary expert opinions and research findings,and proposes a comprehensive multidisciplinary intervention framework covering scientific exercise intervention, precise nutrition and diet, optimized sleep management, and standardized psychological support. It calls for the establishment of a multi agent collaborative management mechanism led by the government, implemented by families, fostered by schools, initiated by individuals, optimized by communities, reinforced by healthcare, and coordinated by multiple stakeholders. Emphasizing a child and adolescent centered approach, the consensus advocates for comprehensive, multi level, and personalized guidance strategies to promote the internalization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. It serves as a reference and provides recommendations for the effective prevention and control of overweight and obesity, and enhancing the health level of children and adolescents.

Objective:To explore the impact of intradialytic hypotension (IDH) on brain component volume, as well as its relationship with depression and cognitive function changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Method:It was a cross-sectional observational study. Clinical data of 119 patients under maintenance hemodialysis in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from July 2013 to July 2014 were collected, retrospectively. Patients were divided into IDH group and non-IDH group. 3.0T Magnetic resonance imaging examination of the head for all patients was completed and the results of volume analysis of each component of the brain were extracted. Cognitive function was assessed by the Chinese version of the simplified mental state examination scale (C-MMSE) and the Chinese version of the Montreal cognitive assessment scale (C-MoCA). Depressive status was assessed by the Hamilton depression scale 17 (HAMD_17) and living ability was assessed by the Alzheimer's disease collaborative study-daily living ability assessment questionnaire. In addition, the Philadelphia word learning test was used to measure memory, the Boston naming test to measure language, the connection test A and B to measure executive ability, and the Stroup test C to measure attention. The differences in brain component volume, cognitive function, emotion, and life ability between two groups of patients were compared, and the correlation between IDH and brain component volume was explored by regression analysis.Result:A total of 119 patients were included in this study, of whom 22 (18.5%) had hypotension during dialysis. The volumes of amygdala, cuneiform lobe, and posterior cingulate gyrus in IDH group were significantly smaller than those in the non-hypotension group [ (1.6±0.2) mm 3vs. (1.7±0.2) mm 3, t=2.674, P=0.009; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±1.0) mm 3, t=2.187, P=0.031; (6.9±0.8) mm 3vs. (7.4±0.9) mm 3, t=2.252, P=0.024]. The differences of gray matter, white matter volume between the two groups showed a similar trend but did not reach statistical significance. And lacunar infarction and cerebral microbleeds were more common in IDH group. The daily living ability scores of the two groups were similar (65.51±11.52 vs. 65.71±11.53, Z=-0.456, P=0.648). The proportion of patients with cognitive abnormalities was higher in the IDH group, without statistical significance. The proportion of depression was similar. Univariate linear regression analysis showed that IDH was significantly negatively correlated with the volume of amygdala, cuneiform cortex, and posterior cingulate gyrus, which control emotions in the brain ( B=-0.117, 95% CI -0.203--0.030, P=0.009; B=-0.484, 95% CI -0.923--0.046, P=0.031; B=-0.485, 95% CI -0.911--0.058, P=0.026). After multivariate adjustment, decreased amygdala volume was still correlated with IDH ( B=-0.111, 95% CI -0.198--0.025, P=0.026). Conclusion:Recurrent IDH may lead to atrophy of various brain components, which may be one of the reasons for cognitive and emotional changes in maintenance hemodialysis patients.
