As the core vehicle for preserving and transmitting traditional Chinese medicine（TCM） academic thought and clinical experience， the establishment of a robust quality evaluation system for TCM clinical case reports is a crucial component in the current standardization and modernization of TCM. Based on the practical experience of constructing the China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine by the China Association of Chinese Medicine， this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of critical challenges， including insufficient authenticity and unfocused evaluation criteria. It proposed a three-dimensional evaluation framework grounded in the structure-process-outcome logic， encompassing three dimensions of authenticity and standardization， characteristics and advantages， application and translational impact. This framework integrated 12 key evaluation indicators in a systematic manner. The model preserved the academic characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment， while aligning with modern scientific research standards， achieving a balance between individualized TCM experience and standardized evaluation. Concurrently， this study provided theoretical foundations and methodological guidance for evaluating the quality of TCM clinical cases， contributing significantly to the inheritance of TCM knowledge， evidence-based practice， and the reform of talent evaluation mechanisms.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to elucidate the mechanistic role of Staphylococcus aureus in the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis (AD), a chronic inflammatory skin disorder characterized by pruritus and barrier dysfunction. A key focus was screening traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) active components with dual antibacterial and antipruritic efficacy, followed by systematic evaluation of their in vitro antibacterial activity. Additionally, a novel drug delivery system was constructed to enable localized efficient drug delivery, inhibiting S. aureus proliferation and alleviating its induced pruritus, thereby providing new strategies for targeted AD therapy. MethodsMale C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks (body weight 18-22 g) were used to establish an AD model via repeated oxazolone sensitization. On day 14, microbial samples were collected from the lesional area (1 cm²) using sterile cotton swabs, followed by vortex mixing, serial dilution, and plating on 5% sheep blood agar plates (incubated at 37°C for 24 h). Single colonies with complete transparent β-hemolytic zones were isolated and identified as vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus (VISA) via 16S rRNA sequencing. An S. aureus mono-infection animal model was then established by applying gauze saturated with bacterial suspension (McFarland turbidity 0.1) to the nape and back skin of mice. The pruritic phenotype and inflammatory cell infiltration induced by S. aureus were evaluated using comprehensive approaches including behavioral assays (e.g., scratching frequency recording), hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and toluidine blue staining. The in vitro antibacterial efficacy of the TCM monomer pseudolaric acid B (PAB) and double network hydrogel (DN) was separately assessed by disk diffusion assay, while the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of PAB was determined via broth dilution method. Further validation of the pharmacodynamic characteristics of the composite system (PAB@DN, composed of PAB and DN) was conducted through behavioral assays, HE staining, and dermatitis scoring, with its drug release profile evaluated by mass spectrometry analysis. Based on scratching behavioral analysis and dermatitis scoring, the optimal ratio and concentration of PAB@DN were optimized. ResultsThe S. aureus load in AD lesional tissues was significantly higher than in normal skin ((5.3±0.33)×10⁶ CFU vs. (3.6±0.26)×10⁷ CFU, P<0.001). In the S. aureus mono-infection group, mice exhibited a 6.7-fold increase in scratching frequency compared to the control group. HE staining revealed marked epidermal thickening ((10.4±2.39) μm vs. (85.6±1.95) μm, P<0.000 1), and toluidine blue staining showed a 23-fold increase in mast cell degranulation. Pseudolaric acid B exhibited a significant concentration-dependent inhibitory effect onS. aureus growth, with its in vitro antibacterial effect being 57% that of the antibiotic cefepime (inhibition zone diameter: PAB (1.885±0.036) cm vs. cefepime (3.636±0.005) cm, P<0.000 1) and a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 1 g/L. The carrier double network hydrogel (DN) itself lacked direct antibacterial activity (no significant difference in inhibition zone diameter compared to the control) but effectively ameliorated the dry symptoms of AD-like lesions. The PAB@DN composite system demonstrated a synergistic effect compared to individual components, resulting in a 50% reduction in scratching behavior, an 86% decrease in dermatitis score, and a 60% reduction in epidermal thickening. It also reduced the S. aureus load in mouse skin by approximately 34%, with the optimal effective formulation being PAB at 1 g/L loaded onto DN. ConclusionS. aureus colonization plays a critical driving role in the onset and progression of AD. Using an S. aureus infection model, this study confirmed that the pseudolaric acidB-hydrogel composite delivery system (PAB@DN) can effectively alleviate S. aureus-induced pruritus and skin damage, providing experimental evidence for microbiota-targeted therapy of AD.

Objective To analyze the risk factors of left atrial appendage(LAA)thrombosis in elderly patients with NVAF.Methods A total of 210 NVAF patients admitted to our hospital from January 2019 to June 2023 were enrolled in this study.Transesophageal echocardiography was applied used to detect the LAA thrombus,and then according to the presence or absence of thrombus,the patients were divided into a thrombus group(n=42)and a non-thrombus group(n=168).The indicators of routine blood test within 48 h of admission and the characteristics of LAA were recorded.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify the risk factors related to the occurrence of LAA thrombus.Results The thrombus group exhibited sig-nificantly larger proportions of diabetes and nonparoxysmal AF,higher total bilirubin,increased left ventricular end-systolic diameter and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter values,and elevat-ed ratio of complex LAA,but lower INR and left ventricular ejection fraction value than the non-thrombus group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).After adjusting for confounding factors,multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes(OR=3.585,95％CI:1.003-12.808,P=0.049)and complex LAA(OR=5.572,95％CI:2.101-14.777,P=0.001)were independent risk factors for LAA thrombosis.Conclusion LAA morphology and diabetes are independent risk factors for the occurrence of LAA thrombus in NVAF patients.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of recurrent stroke in IS patients with CHF.Methods A total of 235 elderly IS patients with CHF admitted to Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were enrolled in this study.According to LVEF clas-sification,they were divided into reduced ejection fraction HF group(HFrEF,LVEF＜40％,80 patients),intermediate ejection fraction HF group(HFmrEF,40％≤LVEF＜50％,57 patients),and preserved ejection fraction HF group(HFpEF,LVEF≥50％,98 patients).After all of them were followed up for 12 months,the patients with recurrent IS were assigned into the recurrent IS group(42 patients)and those without into the non-recurrent IS group(193 patients).Their gener-al data,laboratory results,clinical endpoint events and other indicators were compared in the above groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was applied to identify the related risk fac-tors for recurrent stroke in elderly patients with CHF and IS.Results There were significant differences in women ratio,age,history of smoking and drinking,peripheral vascular disease,RBC count,hemoglobin,hematocrit,LDL-C,prothrombin time,international standardized ratio,BNP,LVEF,LVEDD and LVESD among the three groups(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).The recurrent IS group had obviously larger proportion of diabetes mellitus,longer thrombin time,and larger LAD and RAD when compared with the non-recurrent IS group(P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes(OR=0.251,95％CI:0.1 96-1.494,P=0.031)and LAD(OR=1.085,95％CI:1.008-1.169,P=0.031)were independent risk factor for recurrent stroke in elderly patients with CHF and IS.There were no significant differences in follow-up period and incidence of clinical endpoints among the three groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion Diabetes and LAD are independent risk factors for recurrent IS in elderly CHF patients with IS.

Objective:To understand the molecular epidemiological characteristics of unique recombinant forms (URFs) in newly reported HIV-1 patients in Hangzhou, and provide theoretical support for prevention and control of AIDS.Methods:The blood samples of newly-diagnosed HIV-1 infected cases who received no antiviral therapy from 2019 to 2023 were collected, pol gene was amplified by RT-PCR and nested PCR, followed by sequencing. The URFs were screened using phylogenetic tree, followed by recombinant analysis. Genetic distances between URFs sequences were calculated and molecular transmission networks were constructed. The calibrated population resistance program (CPR) was used to analyze transmissible drug-resistant mutations. Results:A total of 222(5.0%, 222/4 471) URFs pol gene sequence were obtained, and the recombination types were CRF01_AE/CRF07_BC (60.4%, 134/222), CRF01_AE/C (11.7%, 26/222), CRF01_AE/B (9.5%, 21/222), CRF01_AE/B/C (8.1%, 18/222), B/C (7.6%, 17/222) and CRF55_01B/CRF07_BC (2.7%, 6/222), respectively. 78.8% (175/222) were infected by men who have sex with man(MSM), whoes mean age was 31.3±10.5. The proportion of URFs increased from 4.0% (34/843) to 7.4% (60/807) from 2019 to 2023. Under the optimal gene distance threshold of 1.5%, the molecular network access rate was 49.5% (110/222), included 23 clusters. We found a large active transmission cluster with 39 cases mixed homosexual and heterosexual, the recombination types was CRF01_AE/CRF07_BC, and the average gene distance was 0.005. Prevalence of URFs transmissible resistance was 3.2% (7/222). Conclusions:URFs are mainly produced and transmitted in young MSM, which shows an increasing trend year by year. There is a large active transmission cluster required major attention and effective intervention to prevent further expansion. At the same time, the occurrence and transmission of URFs should be continuously monitored to understand the clusters and drug resistance dynamics.

Objective:To analyze the HIV-1 subtypes and drug resistance among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases before antiretroviral therapy (ART) in Hangzhou.Methods:Blood samples were collected from newly diagnosed HIV-1/AIDS cases not receiving ART in Hangzhou from 2020 to 2022. HIV-1 pol gene was amplified and then sequenced. A phylogenetic tree was construct using MEGA7.0 software to analyse the HIV-1 subtypes, The sequences were submitted to the Stanford University drug resistance database to identify drug resistance mutation sites and drug sensitivity. Results:A total of 2 700 sequences were obtained. Twelve subtypes were identified, and the predominant subtypes were CRF07_BC (46.8%, 1 263/2 700) and CRF01_AE (34.6%, 933/2 700). The overall drug resistance rate before ART was 8.1% (220/2 700) and the resistance rates to protease inhibitors (PIs), nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) and non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) were 2.8% (75/2 700), 1.3% (36/2 700) and 4.4% (119/2 700), respectively. Among the 220 drug-resistant cases, mutations conferring resistance to PIs (Q58E), NRTIs (M184V/I) and NNRTIs (K103N/S and E138A/G/K/Q) were detected in 47 (21.4%), 13 (5.9%), 42 (19.1%) and 41 (18.6%) patients, respectively.Conclusions:HIV-1 genotypes were highly complex in newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Hangzhou from 2020 to 2022. There were cases showing moderate or high resistance to backbone drugs before ART, indicating that HIV-1 monitoring should be strengthened to avoid treatment failure and reduce the spread of drug-resistant strains.
