Osteoarthritis (OA) and stroke are common clinical diseases that reduce patients' quality of life and place a burden on families and society. Ruyi Zhenbaowan, a classic prescription in Tibetan medicine, have the functions of clearing heat, awakening the brain and opening orifices, relaxing tendons and promoting meridian circulation, and eliminating yellow water. Clinically, they are used to treat osteoarthritis, post-stroke sequelae, neuropathic pain, and other related conditions. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated their anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and nerve-repairing effects. However, current research remains insufficient regarding the appropriate indications, timing, and efficacy of this medicine in treating relevant diseases. To enhance clinicians' understanding of this medicine and promote its standardized and rational clinical use, a panel of national experts, including clinical specialists, Tibetan medicine practitioners, pharmacologists, and methodologists, formulated this consensus based on clinical experience and evidence-based practice. The Cochrane systematic review framework, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system, and the nominal group method were employed to generate seven graded recommendations and 19 consensus-based suggestions. These recommendations clearly define the key points in the clinical application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan, including therapeutic indications, dosage and administration, treatment duration, and medication safety. The consensus specifically addresses the clinical efficacy, appropriate timing of administration, dosage strategies, treatment cycles, and combination medication strategies for treating osteoarthritis and stroke and provides an overview of safety considerations. The aim is to provide standardized guidance for hospitals and healthcare institutions nationwide to ensure the rational application of Ruyi Zhenbaowan in the treatment of osteoarthritis and stroke, reduce medication-related risks, and further leverage its clinical advantages. This consensus has been approved and issued by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, with the standard number GS/CACM 369-2024.
4.Association between the pattern of carotid artery calcification and the short-term prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction
Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(1):38-41
Objective To investigate the association between the pattern of carotid artery calcification and the prognosis of patients with acute cerebral infarction after 3 months of treatment. Methods A total of 112 patients who were diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in our hospital from March 2021 to September 2022 were enrolled as subjects. CT angiography was performed within 24 hours after admission, and the carotid artery was assessed in terms of calcification pattern (no calcification, intimal calcification, and medial calcification) and calcification load (low and high calcification). After 7 days of treatment, CT reexamination was performed to evaluate hemorrhagic transformation and infarct volume. The patients were followed up for 3 months, and according to the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, they were divided into good prognosis group (82 patients with an mRS score of <3 points) and poor prognosis group (30 patients with an mRS score of ≥3 points). Results Compared with the good prognosis group, the poor prognosis group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with an age of ≥70 years, a mean systolic blood pressure of ≥165 mmHg, a fasting blood glucose level of ≥7.5 mmol/L, an NIHSS score of ≥12 on admission, intimal calcification, medial calcification, high calcification, hemorrhagic transformation, and an infarct volume of ≥50 mm3 (P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS score ≥12 on admission, intimal calcification, hemorrhagic transformation, and infarct volume ≥50 mm3 were risk factors for poor prognosis (P<0.05). Conclusion Intimal calcification of the carotid artery may be associated with the poor short-term prognosis of AIS patients, which can be used as a new noninvasive indicator for predicting prognosis.

Chemotherapy is currently the mainstay of systemic management for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), but chemoresistance significantly impacts patient outcomes. Our research indicates that Doxorubicin (Dox)-resistant TNBC cells exhibit increased glycolysis and ATP generation compared to their parental cells, with this metabolic shift contributing to chemoresistance. We discovered that ALKBH3, an m1A demethylase enzyme, is crucial in regulating the enhanced glycolysis in Dox-resistant TNBC cells. Knocking down ALKBH3 reduced ATP generation, glucose consumption, and lactate production, implicating its involvement in mediating glycolysis. Further investigation revealed that aldolase A (ALDOA), a key enzyme in glycolysis, is a downstream target of ALKBH3. ALKBH3 regulates ALDOA mRNA stability through m1A demethylation at the 3'-untranslated region (3'UTR). This methylation negatively affects ALDOA mRNA stability by recruiting the YTHDF2/PAN2-PAN3 complex, leading to mRNA degradation. The ALKBH3/ALDOA axis promotes Dox resistance both in vitro and in vivo. Clinical analysis demonstrated that ALKBH3 and ALDOA are upregulated in breast cancer tissues, and higher expression of these proteins is associated with reduced overall survival in TNBC patients. Our study highlights the role of the ALKBH3/ALDOA axis in contributing to Dox resistance in TNBC cells through regulation of ALDOA mRNA stability and glycolysis.

County medical community serves as pivotal instruments for the hierarchical diagnostic and treatment system. Since their nationwide implementation in December 2023, there has been a pressing demand for governance theories to direct practical applications. Based on polycentric-collaborative governance theory, this study articulated a framework that modeled county medical community as accountable care organizations, anchored by a foundation of primary health care and a polycentric-collaborative governance structure. The framework encompassed critical dimensions, including problem orientation, diverse governance actors, multi-dimensional governance mechanisms, governance objectives, and evaluative metrics. This research also introduced 17 governance instruments, delineated 13 priority action fields, and pinpointed 5 potential reform areas, with a pronounced focus on bolstering governance capacity through value-based payment reforms and technological underpinnings of digital innovation. The framework′s viability and efficacy have been substantiated through a case study in Zhejiang Province. The framework presented herein could offer a comprehensive and systematic guide for county medical community practice, capturing the essence of the reform through a problem-oriented lens, fostering multi-actor involvement, and ensuring the harmonization of multi-dimensional governance mechanisms, thereby fortifying the reform′s systematic, integrative, and collaborative attributes.
