The theory of constitution in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） has emerged as a new discipline in recent years. Constitution plays a vital role in the onset，progression，transformation，and prognosis of diseases. At present，some clinical scholars have adopted a novel diagnostic and treatment model of "constitution differentiation-disease identification-syndrome differentiation"，in which constitution is regarded as a core element throughout the diagnostic and therapeutic process. Constitution is closely associated with etiology，onset，pathogenesis，syndrome differentiation，and treatment. Against this background，the construction of animal models based on constitution holds far-reaching significance for advancing clinical research. This paper focuses on the construction and evaluation of rodent models with Qi-deficiency constitution，aiming to explore how to further induce Qi-deficiency syndromes and related disease states on the basis of Qi-deficiency constitution models，thereby developing an integrated animal model that embodies the trinity of "constitution-disease-syndrome". The establishment of this model not only provides a solid experimental foundation for the development of new therapies and drugs in TCM targeting specific constitutions，diseases，and syndromes，but also greatly promotes the modernization and scientific advancement of TCM theory. By comprehensively applying multidisciplinary technologies and methods，the study evaluates the model's validity，reliability，and practicality，with the aim of opening new avenues for future research in TCM and promoting the development of the field.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of neuroendoscope-assisted evacuation and navigation-assisted puncture drainage in treating thalamic hemorrhage breaking into the ventricle. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 93 patients with thalamic hemorrhage breaking into the ventricle at Taihe Hospital of Wannan Medical College between January 2022 and February 2024. The patients received neuroendoscope-assisted removal of thalamic hematoma combined with contralateral extraventricular drainage (n＝44, neuroendoscope group) and navigation-assisted thalamic hematoma puncture drainage combined with contralateral extraventricular drainage (n＝49, navigation group), respectively. The treatment efficacy, surgical situation, and prognosis between the two groups were compared. Results The neuroendoscope group had longer operation duration, more intraoperative blood loss, higher hospitalization costs than the navigation group (P＜0.05). The neuroendoscope group had higher hematoma clearance rate 3rd after surgery and shorter length of stay than the navigation group (P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of intracranial infection after surgery between the two groups. The neuroendoscope group had higher Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score at 1 week after surgery and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) score at 3 months after surgery (P＜0.01). Conclusions Compared with navigation-assisted puncture, neuroendoscope-assisted evacuation can improve the thalamic hemorrhage clearance rate, shorten the length of stay, and improve the prognosis of patients.

Objective To observe the efficacy of Venovo venous stent for treating post-thrombotic syndrome(PTS)after lower extremity deep venous thrombosis(DVT).Methods A total of 61 patients with PTS after lower extremioty DVT who underwent iliac vein stent implantation were retrospectively enrolled,including 33 cases underwent Venovo stent(Venovo stent group)and 28 cases underwent conventional stent implantation(conventional stent group).The technical success rates and perioperative complications,Villalta score and venous clinical severity score(VCSS)before and 6 and 12 months after treatment,as well as the primary stent patency were compared within and between groups.Results The technical success rate was 100%in both groups,and no significant difference of the incidence of perioperative complications was found between groups(P=0.187).There was no significant difference of Villalta score nor VCSS between groups before treatment(both P＞0.05),while significant decrease of Villalta score was noticed before and 6 or 12 months after treatment within both groups(all P＜0.05).No significant difference of Villalta score nor VCSS was found 6 months after treatment between groups(both P＞0.05),while significant difference of Villalta score and VCSS were observed in Venovo stent group compared with those in conventional stent group 12 months after treatment(both P＜0.05).No significant difference of primary stent patency rate was found between groups 6 and 12 months after treatment(both P＞0.05).Conclusion Venovo venous stent could be used to effectively treat PTS after lower extremity DVT.

Objective To investigate the factors influencing the persistence of residual low back pain following percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures(OVF),in order to provide a scientific basis for clinical intervention strategies.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 1 120 patients diagnosed with OVF who received PVP treatment between July 2020 and June 2025.Among them,61 patients who experienced residual low back pain in the early postoperative period(defined as 2 days to 1 month after surgery)with a postoperative visual analog scale(VAS)score greater than 3 points were selected as the observation group.An additional 61 control subjects were matched to the observation group at a 1∶1 ratio based on age(±5 years),gender,and preoperative bone mineral density(±0.5 standard deviation).Univariate and logistic regression analyses were subsequently performed to evaluate potential influencing factors.Results Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences between the two groups with respect to preoperative thoracolumbar fascia injury(TFI),MRI-detected liquefaction signals in the affected vertebrae,the number of involved vertebrae(≥2),and suboptimal bone cement distribution(P<0.05).Multivariate regression analysis confirmed that these factors were independent risk factors,with corresponding odds ratios(ORs)of 5.378,6.111,3.245,and 2.890(all P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of the predictive model was 0.929,indicating a high level of predictive accuracy.Conclusion Preoperative TFI,MRI-demonstrated liquefaction signals in the affected vertebrae,the presence of multiple responsible vertebrae,and suboptimal bone cement distribution may contribute to an increased risk of early residual low back pain following PVP.

Objective To analyze the application value of assisted compressed sensing(ACS)combined with deep reconstruction(DR)(ACS+DR)algorithm in MR abdominal T2WI.Methods A total of 60 patients were prospectively selected to undergo three types of respiratory-triggered transverse T2 sequence scans:fast spin echo(FSE),propeller scanning(ARMS),and ACS+DR.Two radiologists independently evaluated the images for respiratory motion artifacts,gastrointestinal peristalsis artifacts,sharpness of intrahepatic vessel and bile duct,lesion clarity,and overall image quality.Additionally,the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR),contrast-to-noise ratio(CNR),and contrast ratio(CR)between lesions and liver parenchyma signal intensity were calculated.Wilcoxon and independent sample Mann-Whitney U tests were used to compare objective scores and subjective evaluations among different groups.Results The scan time for the ACS+DR sequence was 35 s,for the ARMS sequence 180 s,and for the FSE sequence 210 s.The ACS+DR sequence showed superior performance over the other sequences in terms of scan time,respiratory motion artifacts,intrahepatic vessel and bile duct sharpness,lesion clarity,and overall image quality(P＜0.05).Compared with FSE sequence,the ARMS and ACS+DR sequences exhibited higher SNR,CNR,and CR(P＜0.05).The ACS+DR sequence showed better SNR and CNR than the ARMS sequence(P＜0.05);however,there was no significant difference between the two sequences in CR(P＞0.05).No significant difference was found among the three sequences in the number of detected lesions(P＞0.05).Conclusion The ACS+DR reconstruction algorithm for upper abdominal imaging not only ensures high image quality but also significantly improves scan speed,making it valuable for clinical application.

[Purpose]To analyze the survival rate of breast cancer in Qidong City of Jiangsu Province from 1972 to 2019 and to predict the trend in the next 10 years.[Methods]The data of breast cancer collected from Qidong Cancer Registry from 1972 to 2019 were extracted.Observed survival rate(OSR),relative survival rate(RSR),age-adjusted relative survival(ARS)and average annual percentage change(AAPC)of breast cancer were calculated.ARIMA model was used to predict the trend of breast cancer survival rate.[Results]The 5-year RSR increased from 57.30％during 1972-1977 to 89.01％during 2014-2019,and the uptrend of RSR in the 8 periods was statistically significant(P＜0.001).The 5-year ARS increased from 48.12％during 1972-1977 to 85.64％during 2014-2019 with an AAPC of 1.85％(t=10.113,P＜0.001).The 5-year RSR during 1972-2019 for males was 85.22％,and for females was 74.51％.For females,the 5-year RSR in-creased from 56.44％during 1972-1977 to 88.93％during 2014-2019 with an AAPC of 1.29％(t=13.087,P＜0.001),and the 5-year ARS increased from 46.14％during 1972-1977 to 85.23％during 2014-2019 with an AAPC of 1.90％(t=10.369,P＜0.001).The 5-year RSR in the age groups of 25～34,35～44,45～54,55～64,65～74,and over 75 years old were 66.91％,74.69％,76.97％,75.52％,73.44％and 66.40％,respectively;the corresponding AAPCs of 5-RSR in above age groups were 1.02％(t=3.816,P=0.009),1.03％(t=4.936,P=0.003),1.23％(t=5.826,P=0.001),1.86％(t=5.997,P=0.001),2.13％(t=10.245,P＜0.001),and 1.44％(t=6.405,P=0.001),respectively.ARIMA modeling of survival trend prediction showed that 5-RSR and 5-ARS for breast cancer will be ascended to 98.76％and 98.33％by 2028,respectively.[Conclusion]The overall survival rate of registered breast cancer cases in Qidong City has been greatly improved and will be further improved in the future,more attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of breast cancer.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features,diagnosis,differential diagnosis,immuno-phenotype,and prognosis of ovarian mature cystic teratoma(MCT)with an associated mucinous tumor(MT).Meth-ods Clinicopathological and follow-up data from 14 cases of MCT with MT were retrospectively analyzed and supple-mented with a literature review.Results 14 patients' ages ranged from 21-70 years,with a median age of 33 years.Tumors were located in the left ovary(4 cases),right ovary(9 cases),or bilaterally(1 case).The tumors,cystic or cyst-solid,measured 6.0-24.0 cm in maximum diameter(mean:11.7±5.7 cm).Histologically,the MT compo-nents were classified as mucinous cystadenoma(MCA)in 9 cases,borderline mucinous cystadenoma(MBT)in 4 ca-ses,and mucinous adenocarcinoma(MAC)in 1 case.Microscopically,MCT elements from multiple germ layers were identified in 13 cases,with one case showing only mature thyroid tissue.The mucinous epithelium in MCA showed no significant atypia.Mucinous epithelial proliferation accounted＞10％in MBT.MAC demonstrated moderate-to-severe atypia and invasive growth.Immunohistochemically,the MT epithelium was frequently positive for CK7(6/7),CK20(4/5),CDX2(5/6),Villin(4/4),SATB2(3/3),MUC2(2/3),MUC5AC(2/2),MUC6(1/1),and PAX-8(2/7),while negative for ER(6/6),PR(5/5),and WT-1(5/5).The Ki-67 proliferation index was low(＜5％)in 6 cases and high(50％)in one case.During a follow-up of 9-110 months,patients with MCT associated with MCA or MBT were alive without recurrence.The patient with MCT and MAC experienced recurrence 34 months after surgery.Conclusion Ovarian MCT with MT is rare and lacks specific clinical manifestations.Pathological examina-tion combined with immunophenotyping is essential for accurate diagnosis and classification.

BACKGROUND:In the research and application of neural stem cells,cell culture and passage are key links,which directly affect the quality of cells and experimental results.It is of great significance to find the most suitable digestive enzymes that can maintain the biological characteristics of embryonic mouse spinal cord neural stem cells and enhance their passage efficiency.OBJECTIVE:To explore the most suitable digestive enzyme for passage of neural stem cells from the spinal cord of embryonic mice.METHODS:Microscopic dissection was used to isolate and extract spinal cord tissue from E14 d embryonic mice,which was cultured in DMEM/F12 serum-free medium containing epidermal growth factor,basic fibroblast growth factor,and B27.After spherulation,Nestin and Sox2 immunofluorescence identification was performed.During neural stem cell passage and culture,single-cell suspensions were prepared using trypsin,papain,and TrypLETM Express enzyme digestion combined with blow molding.The cell dispersion and spheroidization were observed,and passage 3 cells were stained with propidium iodide to detect cell death.Cell proliferation was detected by counting the total number of cells.Immunofluorescence staining,western blot assay and RT-PCR were used to detect the expression of Olig2,Tuj1,GFAP,and NeuN at the protein and mRNA levels and to identify cell differentiation.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After 72 hours of culture,E14 d embryonic mouse spinal cord tissue cells could form suspended neurospheres,which could be passaged after 5-7 days.Compared with trypsin and papain,TrypLETM Express enzyme combined with blow beating method was used for passage.The cell dispersion rate was high,the activity was good,and more NeuN-and Tuj1-positive neurons differentiated.This study optimized the culture and passaging process of neural stem cells,laying a foundation for further research on stem cell transplantation therapy for spinal cord diseases.
