ObjectiveThis study aims to elucidate the potential mechanism of Zuojinwan in improving liver fibrosis through hepatic tissue metabolomics analysis. MethodsTwenty-four mice were randomly allocated into normal group， model group ， positive drug group （silymarin， 100 mg·kg^-1）， and Zuojinwan group （Zuojinwan solution， 2.5 g·kg^-1）， with per group six mice. Liver fibrosis model was induced via intraperitoneal injection of olive oil solution with 10% carbon tetrachloride （CCl₄） （0.5 μL·g^-1， three times weekly for 8 weeks） in all groups except the normal group. During the final 4 weeks， the silymarin group received silymarin （100 mg·kg^-1） by gavage thrice weekly， while the Zuojinwan group was administered Zuojinwan solution （2.5 g·kg^-1） under the same regimen. After the last administration， the levels of liver fibrosis indicators and liver injury markers in serum were detected. The pathological morphological changes of the liver tissues were observed. The levels of liver fibrosis markers α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） and Collagen Ⅰ（ColⅠ） were detected. Metabolomics was analyzed on mice's liver tissues. The mice's serum was collected for metabolomics analysis. ResultsCompared with the model group， Zuojinwan significantly improved indicators related to liver fibrosis and liver injury. Compared with the normal group， the model group showed significantly elevated levels of fibrosis markers such as laminin （LN）， hyaluronic acid （HA）， procollagen typeⅢ （PC-Ⅲ）， and type Ⅳ Collagen （Ⅳ-C）， while liver injury indicators such as alanine aminotransferase （ALT）， aspartate aminotransferase （AST）， alkaline phosphatase （ALP）， lactate dehydrogenase （LDH）， and total bilirubin （TBIL）， exhibited a marked upward trend （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the silymarin group showed a significant decrease in the aforementioned indicators （P<0.05）. Notably， compared with the model group， the Zuojinwan group exhibited a significant reduction in all these indicators （P<0.05）， with efficacy comparable to that of the silymarin group. Zuojinwan reduced mRNA and protein levels of α-SMA and ColⅠ in the liver tissue. Metabolomics results revealed that compared with the model group， Zuojiinwan significantly reduced levels of glucose metabolism-related metabolites such as D-fructose 1，6-bisphosphate （FBP）， nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate （NADPH）， sodium beta-D-fructose 6-phosphate （F6P）， dihydroxyacetone phosphate （DHAP）， fumaric acid， and D-glucose 6-phosphate （G6P） （P<0.05）. Serum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was used to detect glucose metabolism indicators and further validate the regulatory effect of Zuojinwan on glucose metabolism. ConclusionThese results suggest that Zuojinwan may improve liver fibrosis by regulating the dysregulated levels of glucose metabolism during the progression of liver fibrosis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and economic value of the Jiangsu Traditional Chinese Medicine （TCM） Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for Dominant Diseases （abbreviated as the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol） in adult patients with non-severe community-acquired pneumonia （CAP） based on real-world clinical data. MethodsA retrospective real-world cohort study was conducted using electronic medical records of adult patients hospitalized for non-severe CAP from September 1st， 2023 to December 31st， 2024 across 10 TCM hospitals in Jiangsu province. Patients were classified into an exposure group and a non-exposure group based on whether they received Chinese herbal medicine （CHM） according to the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol. The non-exposure group received only conventional western medicine， while the exposure group additionally received differentiated CHM for at least five consecutive days. Outcomes were compared between two patient groups， including cough resolution rate， sputum resolution rate （assessed by volume， color， and consistency）， incidence of abnormal C-reactive protein （CRP）， incidence of abnormal white blood cell （WBC） count， and radiographic resolution rate of pulmonary infiltrates on chest imaging. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors influencing clinical efficacy. Subgroup analyses were conducted according to age， gender， smoking status， history of hypertension， and pneumonia severity score （CURB-65）， and the efficacy of treatment for cough and sputum was analyzed within each subgroup. Cost-effectiveness analysis was conducted using cough resolution rate as the outcome measure， evaluating the pharmacoeconomics of the two groups. ResultsA total of 1688 patients were included with 1293 in the exposure group and 395 in the non-exposure group. Compared to the non-exposure group， the exposure group demonstrated significantly higher resolution rates of cough， sputum volume， color， and consistency， as well as a significantly lower incidence of abnormal CRP （P＜0.05）. No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in terms of abnormal WBC count and radiographic resolution rate of pulmonary infiltrates （P＞0.05）. Logistic regression analysis showed that the cough resolution rate in the exposure group was 1.83 times that of the non-exposure group， while the probabilities of resolution in sputum volume， color， and consistency were 1.37， 2.09， and 1.56 times those of the non-exposure group， respectively （P＜0.05）. Subgroup analyses showed that the exposure group achieved significantly higher cough resolution rates across most subgroups except for populations with a CURB-65 score ≥2 or those with a history of hypertension （P＜0.05）. Specifically， among females， patients aged ≥18 and ＜65 years， non-smokers， those without hypertension， and those with a CURB-65 score of 0， the exposure group showed a higher cough resolution rate than the non-exposure group （P＜0.05）. From an economic perspective， total hospitalization cost， length of stay， antibiotic cost， and CHM cost all differed significantly between groups （P＜0.05）. The cost-effectiveness ratio （CER） was 10,788.80 CNY/case in the exposure group， while 22,513.80 CNY/case in the non-exposure group. This implies that， compared with the exposure group， the non-exposure group incurred an additional 17,302.27 CNY to achieve one case of cough resolution. When the willingness-to-pay threshold ranged from 0 to 50,000 CNY， the probability of economic advantage was consistently higher in the exposure group than in the non-exposure group. ConclusionOn the basis of conventional western medicine， the addition of CHM in accordance with the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol can effectively improve clinical symptoms， reduce inflammatory markers， promote clinical recovery， and is more cost-effective in treating adults with non-severe CAP.

ObjectiveTo observe the real‑world effectiveness and economic outcomes of Weishi Qingjin Formula （苇石清金方， WQF） in the treatment of adult community‑acquired pneumonia （CAP） with phlegm‑heat obstructing the lung syndrome. MethodsBased on a multicenter， real-world retrospective cohort study， clinical data were collected from hospitalized adult patients diagnosed with non‑severe CAP and phlegm‑heat obstructing the lung syndrome in 10 traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） hospitals in Jiangsu province. Patients were divided into an exposure group （those who received oral WQF） and a non‑exposure group （those who did not）. The following outcomes were compared between the two groups before and after treatment， which were remission rates of clinical symptoms including cough， expectoration （sputum volume， color， consistency）， and chest pain， levels of inflammatory markers including C‑reactive protein （CRP） and white blood cell count （WBC）， and the rate of pulmonary inflammatory absorption on chest CT. Subgroup analyses were performed based on age， gender， smoking status， presence of hypertension， and the severity of community-acquired pneumonia （CURB‑65） score， comparing the two groups in terms of cough remission rate， chest pain remission rate， and chest CT absorption rate. For health economic evaluation， cost‑effectiveness analysis was used to calculate the cost‑effectiveness ratio （CER） and incremental cost‑effectiveness ratio （ICER）. Univariate sensitivity analysis and probabilistic sensitivity analysis were performed to test the robustness of the results. ResultsA total of 647 patients in the exposure group and 1491 patients in the non-exposure group were included in the final statistical analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in length of hospital stay， gender， marital status， smoking history， bronchoscopy history， and comorbidities between the groups （P＞0.05）， but age， CURB-65 score， and antibiotic use. The exposure group had significantly higher remission rates of cough and sputum consistency than the non-exposure group （P＜0.05）. After adjusting for confounders using propensity score matching and logistic regression， the cough remission rate in the exposure group was 1.49 times that of the non-exposure group （P＜0.01）. No significant difference was observed between groups in the reduction rates of CRP and WBC， and in the rate of pulmonary inflammatory absorption on chest CT （P＞0.05）. Subgroup analyses revealed that the cough remission rate in the exposure group was significantly better than that in the non-exposure group except for patients aged ≥65 years， smokers， hypertensive patients， those using other type antibiotics or not using antibiotics， and those with a CURB-65 score ≥1 （P＜0.05）. Among smokers， the chest pain remission rate in the exposure group was 4.38 times that of the non-exposure group （P＜0.01）. No significant difference in chest CT absorption rate was found between groups across subgroups of gender， age， hypertension status， or antibiotic type （P＞0.05）. In terms of economic evaluation， CER was 10,877.60 CNY/case in the exposure group and 16,773.10 CNY/case in the non-exposure group. Compared to the exposure group， the non-exposure group incurred an additional 15,034.26 CNY to achieve one case of cough resolution， indicating a more favorable cost-effectiveness profile. Probabilistic sensitivity analysis yielded results consistent with the cost-effectiveness analysis， confirming the robustness of the findings. ConclusionWQF demonstrates significant efficacy in improving cough symptoms in the treatment of adult CAP with phlegm-heat obstructing the lung syndrome， and also exhibits favorable economic benefits.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Ningxin Shugan decoction combined with an antagonist fixation regimen on in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer （IVF-ET） outcomes and serum kisspeptin expression in infertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome. MethodsA total of 96 infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome treated in Yancheng No.1 People's Hospital and Yancheng Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine were enrolled in this study and randomized into control and observation groups （n=48）. The control group was treated with an antagonist fixation regimen， and the observation group was treated with Ningxin Shugan decoction on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. The total score and single scores of TCM symptoms， ovulation promotion status， and serum levels of reproductive hormones， miR-335-5p， miR-141-3p， and kisspeptin were determined before and after treatment. The IVF-ET outcome indicators and treatment safety were evaluated. Pearson test was conducted to analyze the correlations of serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）， kisspeptin， miR-335-5p， and miR-141-3p with IVF-ET outcomes. ResultsThe total response rate in the observation group was 90.91%， which was higher than that （70.45%） in the control group （P<0.05）. The total score and single scores of TCM symptoms and the testosterone， luteinizing hormone （LH）， and LH/FSH levels declined after treatment （P<0.05）， and they were lower in the observation group than in the control group （P<0.05）. After treatment， the serum levels of FSH， kisspeptin， miR-335-5p， and miR-141-3p rose in both groups， being higher in the observation group than in the control group （P<0.05）. The observation group showed higher ovulation number， number of MⅡ oocytes， embryo implantation rate， clinical pregnancy rate， and live birth rate than the control group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Serum levels of FSH， kisspeptin， miR-335-5p， and miR-141-3p were positively correlated with embryo implantation rate， clinical pregnancy rate， and live birth rate （P<0.01）. ConclusionNingxin Shugan decoction combined with the antagonist fixation regimen can improve the IVF-ET outcome， promote the serum kisspeptin expression， and increase the ovulation rate and pregnancy rate in infertility patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

There were 18 patients in PKP group, including 7 males and 11 females, aged from 61 to 78 years old with an average of (66.2±5.5) years old;the courses of disease ranged from 5 to 12 months with an average of (7.33±1.78) months;bone mineral density(BMD) T values ranged from -2.45 to -4.00 with an average of (-3.08±0.46);2 patients with T₈-T₉, 10 patients with T₁₀-T₁₂, and 6 patients with L₁-L₂;treated with PKP. There were 22 patients in reinforced screw group, including 8 males and 14 females, aged from 65 to 81 years old with an average of (68.5±3.8) years old;the courses of disease ranged from 4 to 15 months with an average of (7.86±2.73)months;bone mineral density(BMD) T values ranged from -2.40 to -4.50 with an average of (-3.18±0.54);3 patients with T₈-T₉, 12 patients with T₁₀-T₁₂, and 7 patients with L₁-L₂;treated with bone cement reinforced pedicle screw internal fixation combined with kyphoplasty. Cobb angle and anterior margin height of the injured vertebra were compared before operation, 3 d and 12 months after operation. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were compared between two groups before operation and 12 months after operation. The incidence of postoperative complications was compared between two groups. RESULTS: All patients were followed up, PKP group followed up for 11 to 14 months with an average of (11.97±0.96) months and 10 to 14 months with an average of (12.05±1.09) months in reinforced screw group;there was no significant difference between two groups (P>0.05). Postoperative Cobb angle at 3 days and 12 months in reinforced screw group were (7.34±2.26) ° and (18.86±1.96) °, while in PKP group were (18.88±1.89) ° and (23.28±1.90) °;there were statistical difference between two groups (P<0.05). The anterior margin height of the injured vertebra in reinforced screw group were (25.28±1.33) mm and (19.62±2.22) mm at 3 days and 12 months after operation, while in PKP group were (18.61±2.16) mm and(15.93±1.34) mm;there were statistical difference between two groups (P<0.05). Cobb angle and the anterior margin height of the injured vertebra were significantly improved at 3 days and 12 months after operation between two groups (P<0.05). Postoperative VAS and ODI at 12 months in PKP group were (2.00±0.69) score and (13.44±4.02)%, while in reinforced screw group were(1.91±0.61) score and (10.18±4.26)%;which were significantly lower than (6.89±0.76) score and (36.33±3.40)% in PKP group, (7.23±0.75) score and (37.09±3.73) % in reinforced screw group before operation. There were no difference in postoperative VAS between two groups at 12 months (P>0.05);postoperative ODI in reinforced screw group at 12 months was lower than that in PKP group(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in complications between two groups (χ²=0.071, P>0.05). CONCLUSION PKP and bone cement reinforced nail combined with PKP could improve kyphotic deformity and postoperative function, and relieve pain. The application of bone cement-reinforced nail fixation technology could provide a more stable support, more obvious functional recovery, lower the risk of re-collapse of the injured vertebra, and maintain the long-term stability of spine.
