Based on LI Gao's Academic Thought， focusing on the process of qi transformation and taking the regulation and restoration of metabolism and immunity as the entry point， a "source-pivot-convergence" diagnostic and therapeutic model for malignant tumors is constructed. In this model， spleen and stomach internal injury is the source of malignant tumor occurrence， while the disorder of ascending and descending is the pivot of the disease development， and the generation of yin fire is the convergence of malignant tumor progression. Based on this， the three major therapeutic methods of clearing the source， harmonizing the pivot， and resolving the convergence are established. To fortify spleen and boost qi， consolidate the root and clear the source， modified Buzhong Yiqi Decoction（补中益气汤）can be used. To raise the clear and direct the turbid downward， regulate qi and harmonize the pivot， modified Shengyang Yiwei Decoction （升阳益胃汤） is suggested. To restore balance and promote circulation， disperse accumulation and resolve convergence， modified Shengyang Sanhuo Decoction （升阳散火汤） is selected. In clinical practice， these formulas can be used in combination according to the complexity of the pathogenesis， and further adapted with prescriptions for promoting dispersion and penetrating pathogenic factors， resolving phlegm and promoting circulation， activating blood and eliminating concretions， which can provide a reference for the prevention and treatment of tumor diseases.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of Shangke Huangshui medicated gauze in the treatment of small-area deep second-degree burn wounds with fire-heat injuring fluid type.Methods Sixty patients who were diagnosed as small-area deep second-degree burn wounds of fire-heat injuring fluid type in Foshan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2024 to July 2024,were selected as the research objects.The patients were randomly divided into trial group and control group by random number table method,with 30 cases in each group.The trial group was treated with external application of Shangke Huangshui medicated gauze,and the control group was treated with external application of Silver Sulfadiazine Cream.The treatment lasted for 21 days,and then the patients were followed up for 7 days.The changes of Visual Analogue Scale(VAS)score of wound pain,and serum levels of C-reactive protein(CRP),interleukin-6(IL-6)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)in the two groups were observed before and after treatment.The wound healing rate,wound healing time,bacterial infection of the wound,and adverse reactions were compared between the two groups.Results(1)During the treatment,there was no fell-off case in the trial group while there was one patient falling off from the control group.Eventually,a total of 59 patients were included in the statistical analysis,including 30 in the trial group and 29 in the control group.(2)On day 14 and 21 of treatment,the wound healing rates of the two groups were significantly higher than those on day 7 of treatment(P＜0.05),and wound healing rates in the trial group on the day 14 and 21 of treatment were significantly superior to those of the control group(P＜0.05).(3)The time for the complete healing of wound in the trial group was(22.07±2.30)days,which was significantly shorter than that of the control group[(27.07±4.10)days],and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(4)After 7,14 and 21 days of treatment,the VAS scores of wound pain in the two groups were lowered compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the VAS scores in the trial group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).(5)On day 7 of treatment,the levels of serum CRP,IL-6 and TNF-α in the two groups were lowered compared with those before treatment(P＜0.05),and the levels in the trial group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).(6)On day 7 of treatment,the positive rate of bacterial culture for wound discharge in the trial group was 6.67%(2/30),which was significantly lower than 27.59%(8/29)in the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).(7)There were no serious adverse events or adverse reactions occurring in the two groups during the trial.Conclusion Shangke Huangshui medicated gauze can accelerate the healing of burn wounds,shorten the wound healing time,reduce the wound infection rate and the level of serum inflammatory factors,and has fewer adverse reactions with high safety.

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder affecting ~65 million individuals worldwide. Abnormal synaptic plasticity is one of the most important pathological features of this condition. We investigated how ubiquitin-specific peptidase 47 (USP47) influences synaptic plasticity and its link to epilepsy. We found that USP47 enhanced excitatory postsynaptic transmission and increased the density of total dendritic spines and the proportion of mature dendritic spines. Furthermore, USP47 inhibited the degradation of the ubiquitinated α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR) subunit glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1), which is associated with synaptic plasticity. In addition, elevated levels of USP47 were found in epileptic mice, and USP47 knockdown reduced the frequency and duration of seizure-like events and alleviated epileptic seizures. To summarize, we present a new mechanism whereby USP47 regulates excitatory postsynaptic plasticity through the inhibition of ubiquitinated GluR1 degradation. Modulating USP47 may offer a potential approach for controlling seizures and modifying disease progression in future therapeutic strategies.

Eight compounds were isolated and purified from the ethyl acetate part of 70% acetone extract of Rehmannia glutinosa by various chromatographic techniques such as silica gel, MCI gel CHP-20, ODS, Toyopearl HW-40C, combined with TLC and semi-preparative HPLC. Their structures were elucidated by modern spectroscopy techniques (NMR, MS, UV, IR), and identified as neomartynoside A (1), osmanthuside B₆ (2), martynoside (3), isomartynoside (4), (E)-p-hydroxycinnamic acid (5), caffeic acid (6), ferulic acid (7), and methyl caffeate (8). Compound 1 is a new phenylethanol glycoside, which was identified as neomartynoside A. Compound 2 was isolated from Rehmannia glutinosa for the first time. In addition, compounds 2, 6 and 7 significantly increased relative glucose consumption, showing potential hypoglycemic activity.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of single-balloon and double-balloon enteroscopy in diagnosing pediatric small bowel diseases and assess the diagnostic efficacy of computed tomography enterography (CTE) for small bowel diseases using enteroscopy as the reference standard. METHODS: Clinical data from 576 children who underwent enteroscopy at Hunan Children's Hospital between January 2017 and December 2023 were retrospectively collected. The children were categorized based on enteroscopy type into the single-balloon enteroscopy (SBE) group (n=457) and double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) group (n=119), and the clinical data were compared between the two groups. The sensitivity and specificity of CTE for diagnosing small bowel diseases were evaluated using enteroscopy results as the standard. RESULTS: Among the 576 children, small bowel lesions were detected by enteroscopy in 274 children (47.6%).There was no significant difference in lesion detection rates or complication rates between the SBE and DBE groups (P>0.05), but the DBE group had deeper insertion, longer procedure time, and higher complete small bowel examination rate (P<0.05). The complication rate during enteroscopy was 4.3% (25/576), with 18 cases (3.1%) of mild complications and 7 cases (1.2%) of severe complications, which improved with symptomatic treatment, surgical, or endoscopic intervention. Among the 412 children who underwent CTE, the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing small bowel diseases were 44.4% and 71.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SBE and DBE have similar diagnostic efficacy for pediatric small bowel diseases, but DBE is preferred for suspected deep small bowel lesions and comprehensive small bowel examination. Enteroscopy in children demonstrates relatively good overall safety. CTE demonstrates relatively low sensitivity but comparatively high specificity for diagnosing small bowel diseases.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly aggressive primary brain tumor characterized by poor prognosis. Conventional chemo-radiotherapy demonstrates limited therapeutic efficacy and is often accompanied by significant side effects, largely due to factors such as drug resistance, radiation resistance, the presence of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), and the activation of DNA damage repair mechanisms. There is a pressing need to enhance treatment efficacy, with BRD4 identified as a promising target for increasing GBM sensitivity to therapy. Lacking small molecule inhibitors, BRD4 can be degraded using PROteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC), thereby inhibiting DNA damage repair. To deliver PROTAC, SIAIS171142 (SIS) effectively, we designed a responsive nanocapsule, MPL_(SS)P@SIS, featuring GBM-targeting and GSH-responsive drug release. Modified with 1-methyl-l-tryptophan (MLT), nanocapsules facilitate targeted delivery of SIS, downregulating BRD4 and sensitizing GBM cells to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. After intravenous administration, MPL_(SS)P@SIS selectively accumulates in tumor tissue, enhancing the effects of radiotherapy and temozolomide (TMZ) by increasing DNA damage and oxidative stress. GSH activates the nanocapsules, triggering BRD4 degradation and hindering DNA repair. In mouse models, the nanosensitizer, combined with TMZ and X-ray irradiation, efficiently inhibited the growth of GBM. These findings demonstrate a novel PROTAC-based sensitization strategy targeting BRD4, offering a promising approach for effective GBM therapy.

Chronic stress triggers the imbalance of the homeostasis of the tumor immune microenvironment(TIME),which is a key factor driving the development of lung cancer.Based on the mapping relationship between the concept of"spirit"in traditional Chinese medicine and chronic stress,and between"qi"and"immunity",it is believed that the cross-linking mechanism of"chronic stress-TIME-lung cancer"aligns with the understanding of traditional Chinese medicine of disease as involving the interplay between the"body,qi and spirit".The disorganization of"spirit"and"qi"is not only the root of the change of the"form",but also the key to prevent and control it.The treatment principle of synergizing to improve the chronic stress of"regulating the spirit"and remodeling the TIME of"invigorating the qi"is further proposed,which emphasizes on grasping the core pathogenesis of lung cancer at each stage of its evolution in order to administer medicines,drawing on the clinical experience and pharmacological research results in order to accurately hit the target,and combining special therapies like acupuncture,Chinese kungfu,sound therapy to treat the change of"shape"by modulating neuro-endocrine-immune network homeostasis,so as to provide new ideas and accessible solutions for the comprehensive prevention and treatment system of lung cancer.

With the rapid development of competitive sports, the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is on the rise. Such injuries may shorten athletes′ career and lead to other long-term adverse consequences. Although athletes generally recover well after ACL reconstruction, many still struggle to return to their pre-injury performance levels. Advances in the understanding of ACL anatomy and injury mechanisms, along with the evolution of surgical techniques and rehabilitation methods, have provided more individualized and tailored options for athletes following ACL injuries. However, there is currently no consensus in China regarding surgical and rehabilitation strategies for competitive athletes aiming to return to sports after ACL injuries. To this end, the Sports Medicine Committee of the Chinese Research Hospital Association and the Editorial Board of the Chinese Journal of Trauma jointly formulated the Expert consensus on surgical treatment and rehabilitation for competitive sports athletes returning to sports after anterior cruciate ligament injury ( version 2025), and presented 14 recommendations covering surgical indications, preoperative rehabilitation, surgical timing, surgical strategies and postoperative rehabilitation strategies, aiming to improve the surgical treatment and rehabilitation system for ACL injuries in competitive athletes and facilitate their return to high-level sports performance after injury.

OBJECTIVE To investigate and analyze the pharmaceutical care needs of the elderly， thus providing a reference for improving the pharmaceutical care for the elderly. METHODS Based on the Kano model， a questionnaire was designed， and 1 200 community-dwelling elderly in the main urban area of Chongqing were selected as the survey subjects. The study analyzed the attributes and urgency of their pharmaceutical care needs to put forward optimization strategies. RESULTS A total of 1 200 questionnaires were distributed in the study， and 1 062 valid questionnaires were collected， with an effective response rate of 88.50%. The gender distribution of respondents was relatively balanced， with the majority aged between 60 and 69 （43.41%）， and generally possessing a relatively low level of educational attainment. The results showed that medication education and medication consultation were must-be needs； home-based pharmaceutical care was an expected need； drug reorganization， medication monitoring， pharmaceutical science popularization， and pharmaceutical ward round were attractive needs； internet-based pharmaceutical care was indifferent need. The urgent order of demand was medication education ＞ medication consultation ＞ home-based pharmaceutical care ＞ pharmaceutical science popularization ＞ drug reorganization ＞ medication monitoring ＞ pharmaceutical ward round ＞ internet-based pharmaceutical care. CONCLUSIONS The community elderly in Chongqing have high expectations for pharmaceutical care as a whole. Medical institutions should fully guarantee the two essential needs of medication education and medication consultation， and focus on ensuring the expected needs for home-based pharmaceutical care. Efforts should be made to develop the four attractive needs of pharmaceutical science popularization， drug reorganization， medication monitoring， and pharmaceutical ward round， and actively carry out age-friendly adaptations for internet-based pharmaceutical care.
