ObjectiveTo observe the clinical efficacy of modified Yuejuwan in the treatment of thyroid cysts after microwave ablation. MethodsA total of 90 patients with thyroid cysts who met the inclusion criteria and treated in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei University of Chinese Medicine from September 2022 to December 2023 were randomly assigned to either the control group or the observation group， with 45 patients in each group. The control group received conventional postoperative drug treatment and was followed up regularly. The observation group was additionally administrated with modified Yuejuwan for one month and followed up regularly. The alterations in volume， thyroid function parameters ［thyroid-stimulating hormone （TSH）， free triiodothyronine （FT₃）， and free thyroxine （FT₄）］， quality of life scores， and clinical efficacy were monitored and compared between the two groups. Additionally， the safety profile was appraised. ResultsAfter treatment， both the observation group and the control group showed a reduction in cyst volume （P<0.05）， and the observation group exhibited a more significant reduction in cyst volume than the control group （P<0.05）. After treatment， both the observation group and the control group showed a decrease in TSH level and increases in FT₃ and FT₄ levels （P<0.05）， and the changes were more significant in the observation group （P<0.05）. In addition， both groups exhibited elevations in the quality of life scores （P<0.05）. Moreover， the observation group showed more increments in physiological， psychological， and social scores than the control group （P<0.05）. The total response rate of the observation group was higher than that of the control group （Z=-2.516， P<0.05）. The incidence of adverse reactions was similar between the two groups， with no statistically significant difference. ConclusionModified Yuejuwan is effective in the treatment of thyroid cysts after microwave ablation. It can promote the absorption of cysts， improve the thyroid function and quality of life， and has high safety.

This paper summarized the clinical experience of Prof. LI Diangui in treating gastroesophageal reflux disease （GERD） based on the theory of turbidity-toxin in liver. It is believed that internal accumulation of turbidity-toxin and liver depression with stomach counterflow are the main pathogenesis of GERD， and thus the therapeutic methods of resolving turbidity and resolving toxins， regulating the liver and harmonizing the stomach are proposed. In clinical practice， GERD is divided into the early stage， middle stage and late stage. For the early stage， the modified Huazhuo Shugan Hewei Formula （化浊疏肝和胃方） is used to regulate qi and remove turbidity， soothe the liver and harmonize the stomach； for the middle stage， the modified Huazhuo Qingre Zhisuan Formula （化浊清热制酸方） is applied to clear heat， direct the turbid downward， and resolve toxins； for the late stage， the modified Yiwei Decoction （益胃汤） is adopted to replenish qi， nourish yin and simultaneously resolve turbidity-toxin. Throughout the treatment process， attention should be paid to protecting the spleen and stomach， and the medication could be modified according to changes of individual condition.

OBJECTIVE To study the difference of Huangqin decoction combined with Paeoniae Radix Alba(BS) and Paeoniae Radix Rubra(CS)'s effect on ulcerative colitis(UC) based on network pharmacological analysis and animal experiment. METHODS The active constituents of BS and CS were retrieved from TCMSP database and literature, and the potential target was predicted by Swiss Target Prediction. Ulcerative Colitis was used as key words to search disease targets in DisGenet, OMIM, and Genecard databases. The intersection target was obtained by Venny 2.1.0. Cytoscape 3.7.2 software was used to construct network of drug-consumption targets. The STRING platform was used for protein-protein interaction(PPI) network analysis, and Metascape database was applied for GO/WIKI analysis. A dextran sulfate sodium(DSS) induced UC mouse model was established to compare the anti-UC effects of Huangqing decoction combined with BS(HQT-BS) and CS(HQT-CS), respectively. RESULTS There were 7 active components of HQT-BS and 11 active components of HQT-CS in the treatment of ulcerative colitis, respectively, 5 of which were the same. There were 146 and 157 targets respectively, 106 of which were the same. The core targets of HQT-BS were SRC, HSP90AA1, and PIK3R1, while the core targets of HQT-CS were SRC, HSP90AA1, and STAT3. WIKI enrichment analysis showed that several signaling pathways were shared by both BS and CS, such as EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance, Notch signaling pathway. EGF/EGFR signaling pathway was the specific pathway related to BS, while Nuclear receptors meta-pathway and Kit receptor signaling pathway were the specific pathways related to CS, respectively. Animal experiments showed that both HQT-BS and HQT-CS could significantly improve colon shortening and tissue pathological alternation induced by DSS. However, HQT-CS was more effective in reducing the expression of interleukin-6 and neurogenic locus notch homolog protein1. CONCLUSION Both HQT-BS and HQT-CS have anti-UC effect, and HQT-CS is the better one.

Data analysis models may assist the transmission of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） experience and clinical diagnosis and treatment， and the possibility of constructing a “data-knowledge” dual-drive model was explored by taking gastric precancerous state as an example. Data-driven is to make clinical decisions around data analysis， and its syndrome-differentiation decision-making research relies on hidden structural models and partially observable Markov decision-making processes to identify the etiology of diseases， syndrome elements， evolution of pathogenesis， and syndrome differentiation protocols； knowledge-driven is to make use of data and information to promote decision-making and action processes， and its syndrome-differentiation decision-making research relies on convolutional neural networks to improve the accuracy of local disease identification and syndrome differentiation. The “data-knowledge” dual-driven model can make up for the shortcomings of single-drive numerical simulation accuracy， and achieve a balance between local disease identification and macroscopic syndrome differentiation. On the basis of previous research， we explored the construction method of diagnostic assisted decision-making platform for gastric precancerous state， and believed that the diagnostic and decision-making ability of doctors can be extended through the assistance of machines and algorithms. Meanwhile， the related research methods were integrated and the core features of gastric precancerous state based on TCM syndrome differentiation and endoscopic pathology diagnosis and prediction were obtained， and the elements of endoscopic pathology recognition based on TCM syndrome differentiation were explored， so as to provide ideas for the in-depth research and innovative application of cutting-edge data analysis technology in the field of intelligent TCM syndrome differentiation.

Previous genetic fate-mapping studies have indicated that embryonic glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive (GFAP) cells are multifunctional progenitor/neural stem cells that can produce astrocytes as well as neurons and oligodendrocytes throughout the adult mouse central nervous system (CNS). However, emerging evidence from recent studies indicates that GFAP cells adopt different cell fates and generate different cell types in different regions. Moreover, the fate of GFAP cells in the young adult mouse CNS is not well understood. In the present study, hGFAP-Cre/R26R transgenic mice were used to investigate the lineage of embryonic GFAP cells in the young adult mouse CNS. At postnatal day 21, we found that GFAP cells mainly generated NeuN neurons in the cerebral cortex (both ventral and dorsal), hippocampus, and cerebellum. Strangely, these cells were negative for the Purkinje cell marker calbindin in the cerebellum and the neuronal marker NeuN in the thalamus. Thus, contrary to previous studies, our genetic fate-mapping revealed that the cell fate of embryonic GFAP cells at the young adult stage is significantly different from that at the adult stage.
