This study aims to review the current status and development trends of digital TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) specimen museums, providing a theoretical basis for their future construction. By systematically organizing literature and materials, practical experiences in platform architecture design, content planning, and technical implementation were summarized. The research results show that digital technology has significant application value in the TCM field. Currently, some Food and Drug Control Institutes have formed diverse construction achievements by integrating regional characteristics with technological innovation. However, current TCM specimen museums generally still face many challenges, such as insufficient digitalization. In conclusion, the digitalization of TCM specimen museums has become an inevitable trend in the industry. Targeted measures are urgently needed to solve existing problems and promote the sustainable development of digital TCM specimen museums. It is suggested to strengthen the standardization of data collection and storage, deepen the integration of technologies such as 3D, AR, and AI into the construction of specimen museums, and at the same time promote the spatial design combining regional culture with TCM. This will help create "one museum with one feature for one region" digital TCM specimen museums, further promoting their sustainable development and facilitating the digital inheritance of TCM.

With the establishment of bio-psycho-social medical model,both social and psychological factors play an important role in the occurrence,development and treatment of diseases.Hypertension is a common chronic multiple disease in China,and patients are often complicated with depression and other e-motional disorders.The interaction between hypertension and depression significantly increases the risk of poor prognosis.Current studies have shown a bidirectional promoting relationship between hypertension and depression,and they have some com-mon pathogenesis.However,the specific mechanism of their co-morbidity has not been fully elucidated.Renin-angiotensin sys-tem(RAS)plays an important role in the regulation of hyperten-sion and depression and other emotions.It is composed of two antagonistic pathways.The balance is maintained by angioten-sin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2).Therefore,this article reviews the relationship and mechanism of RAS in hypertension,depres-sion and comorbid states,in order to provide new treatment ide-as for hypertension and depression.

Objective:To observe the efficacy of plasma beam combined with intense pulsed light on facial burn scars and its impact on scar score and pain level.Method:This study was a prospective study,and a random number table method was used to divided 92 patients with facial burn scars who were admitted to Maoming People's Hospital from March 2024 to August 2024 into control group(received intense pulsed light treatment,46 cases)and study group(received plasma beam treatment in addition to the control group,46 cases).The efficacy,related scale scores,scar recovery and incidence of adverse reaction rates between two groups were compaerd.Result:Compared with control group after treatment,the clinical total effective rate and the chinese version of the simplified burn health scale(BSHS-B)score of the study group were higher,while vancouver scar scale(VSS),visual analogue scale(VAS)scores,scar thickness,and scar blood flow perfusion were lower(P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reaction rates between the two groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion:Plasma beam combined with intense pulsed light on facial burn scars,can improve clinical efficacy,improve scar thickness and blood flow perfusion,alleviate scar itching and pain,and has good safety in treating facial burn scar patients.

Objective:To investigate the effects of oridonin on platelet function and related mechanisms.Methods:Washed platelets from healthy adults and mice were incubated with different concentrations of oridonin(2.5,5 and 10μmol/L)in vitro.The surface expression level of P-selectin and the activation of integrin αⅡbβ3 in platelets were detected by flow cytometry,and the aggregation ability of platelets under the stimulation by various agonists was detected by light transmission aggregometry.The expression of P-AKT(Ser473)was detected by protein immunoblotting.Arterial thrombosis model was established in mice with mesenteric injury induced by ferric chloride,and tail hemorrhage model was established by cutting off the tail of mice.The effect of intraperitoneal injection of oridonin(10 mg/kg)on thrombosis and haemostasis was tested.Results:Oridonin inhibited platelet P-selectin expression and integrin αⅡbβ3 activation.In the presence of different stimulants,oridonin inhibited platelet aggregation in a concentration-dependent manner.The phosphorylation level of AKT Ser473 was reduced in the groups treated with different concentrations of oridonin.Oridonin significantly prolonged the time of mesenteric artery thrombosis in mice,but did not affect the tail bleeding time.Conclusion:Oridonin inhibits platelet activation,aggregation,and thrombosis by inhibiting AKT phosphorylation,and may be used as a potential antiplatelet drug.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the clinical and immunological features of children with primary immune thrombocytopenia (pITP) or connective tissue disease (CTD) with thrombocytopenia as the initial manifestation at initial diagnosis, and to provide a basis for early differentiation. METHODS: A retrospective study was performed on 236 children with pITP (pITP group) or CTD with thrombocytopenia as the initial manifestation (CTD-TP group) who were admitted from January 2019 to August 2024. Clinical and immunological indicators were compared between the two groups to identify potential influencing factors for early differentiation and their discriminative validity. RESULTS: Compared with the pITP group, the CTD-TP group had a significantly older age of onset and significantly lower leukocyte count, eosinophil count, lymphocyte count, and complement C4 level (P<0.05), as well as significantly higher levels of C-reactive protein, IgE, and IgM (P<0.05). The logistic regression analysis showed that age, IgE, IgM, total B cells, and complement C4 were predictive factors for early differentiation between pITP and CTD-TP (P<0.05). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that a combination of these five factors had a good discriminative validity, with an area under the curve of 0.944. The correlation analysis showed a negative correlation between IgG and platelet count in the pITP group (r_s=-0.363, P<0.05) and a positive correlation between NK cells and platelet count in the CTD-TP group (r_s=0.713, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS There is heterogeneity in the clinical and immunological indicators between children with pITP and CTD-TP at initial diagnosis, and these research findings can help with the early differentiation between the two diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effects of stir-fried Semen Armeniacae Amarum (SAA) against aristolochic acid I (AAI)-induced nephrotoxicity and DNA adducts and elucidate the underlying mechanism involved for ensuring the safe use of Asari Radix et Rhizoma. METHODS: In vitro, HEK293T cells overexpressing Flag-tagged multidrug resistance-associated protein 3 (MRP3) were constructed by Lentiviral transduction, and inhibitory effect of top 10 common pairs of medicinal herbs with Asari Radix et Rhizoma in clinic on MRP3 activity was verified using a self-constructed fluorescence screening system. The mRNA, protein expressions, and enzyme activity levels of NAD(P)H quinone dehydrogenase 1 (NQO1) and cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) were measured in differentiated HepaRG cells. Hepatocyte toxicity after inhibition of AAI metabolite transport was detected using cell counting kit-8 assay. In vivo, C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 5 groups according to a random number table, including: control (1% sodium bicarbonate), AAI (10 mg/kg), stir-fried SAA (1.75 g/kg) and AAI + stir-fried SAA (1.75 and 8.75 g/kg) groups, 6 mice in each group. After 7 days of continuous gavage administration, liver and kidney damages were assessed, and the protein expressions and enzyme activity of liver metabolic enzymes NQO1 and CYP1A2 were determined simultaneously. RESULTS: In vivo, combination of 1.75 g/kg SAA and 10 mg/kg AAI suppressed AAI-induced nephrotoxicity and reduced dA-ALI formation by 26.7%, and these detoxification effects in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). Mechanistically, SAA inhibited MRP3 transport in vitro, downregulated NQO1 expression in vivo, increased CYP1A2 expression and enzymatic activity in vitro and in vivo, respectively (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Notably, SAA also reduced AAI-induced hepatotoxicity throughout the detoxification process, as indicated by a 41.3% reduction in the number of liver adducts (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Stir-fried SAA is a novel drug candidate for the suppression of AAI-induced liver and kidney damages. The protective mechanism may be closely related to the regulation of transporters and metabolic enzymes.

Under the guidance of five-viscus correlation theory,and with reference to the clinical practice,this paper discusses the pathogenesis of cardiogenic asthma,i.e.long illness of the heart resulting in asthma,from the perspective of physiological characteristics of heart,which belongs to yin in essence and yang in function.And this paper also introduces the correlation between five zang-organs and cardiogenic asthma:asthma induced by heart failure involves the lung,has close relation with middle energizer(spleen and stomach),results from the comorbidity of heart and liver,and contributes to the disorders of kidney.It is believed that cardiogenic asthma injures the heart,results in internal blockage of blood stasis,so the original pathogenesis of cardiogenic asthma is due to the heart;unsmoothed blood circulation causes fluid retention in the chest and lung,and then the lung is involved.The failure of spleen and stomach in generation and transportation will cause the unsmoothed circulation of qi and blood,liver qi stagnation will result in the failure of liver blood in nourishment,and the intense kidney yin-fire will stir upward and attack heart yang.The factors mentioned above all are prone to result in the aggravation of cardiogenic asthma.Therefore,the treatment of cardiogenic asthma with traditional Chinese medicine should be focused on heart,and methods of replenishing qi,activating blood circulation,and inducing diuresis are used as the primary therapeutic approaches.Moreover,according to the organs involved in cardiogenic asthma,therapies of regulating the five viscera and restoring the balance of yin and yang are used for precise treatment,and the therapeutic effect will be enhanced.

Objective To report the diagnosis,treatment,and verification process of a patient with sex development disorder whose chromosomal karyotype and genetic test results are inconsistent,and conduct a literature review to improve the understanding of the mosaic status of sexual development disorders.Methods A 14-year-old patient presented with primary amenorrhea on April 3,2020,at the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University,exhibiting female sexual characteristics.The patient underwent ultrasonic/magnetic resonance imaging of gonads,assessment of gonadal axis function,chromosomal karyotype,and molecular genetic testing,as well as pelvic exploration,malignant gonads resection,and hormone replacement therapy,resulting in drug-induced menstruation.During the diagnosis and treatment,it was found that the patient's chromosomal karyotype analysis was inconsistent with the molecular genetic test results.Subsequently,samples from the three germ layer cells were taken,and fluorescence in situ hybridization(FISH)was used to detect the sex chromosomes in each germ layer cell.XY probes were used to label the gonadal pathological sections to explore the distribution differences of the Y chromosome in the gonads,and changes in anti-Müllerian hormone(AMH)levels before and after surgery were compared.Databases such as Wanfang and PubMed were searched to summarize relevant cohort study literature and understand the current status of research on this disease.Results The patient's body exhibited a significant differences between the 45,X and 46,XY cell lines in different germ layers and within the same layer tissues.The proportion of 45,X in buccal mucosal cells derived from the ectoderm was 30%(6/20),in peripheral blood lymphocytes derived from the mesoderm was 9.7%(11/114),and in bladder shed cells derived from endoderm was 20.4%(22/108).The gonadal pathological sections labeled with XY probes indicated a mosaic state with a reduced Y-chromosome;where the epididymal structure area had a 45,X cell line mosaic of 50.0%,and the malignant area had a normal"Y"content.After gonadal resection,AMH levels significantly dropped from 7.28 pmol/L to＜0.07 pmol/L.Literature review revealed that patients with 45,X/46,XY have a complex phenotype spectrum,most with features of Turner syndrome,and female phenotypes are at risk of gonadal tumors.Conclusions In the diagnosis of difficult cases of sex development disorders,when performing peripheral blood karyotype testing,the number of counted cells and analyzed cells should be increased as much as possible,and multi-germ layer cell sampling should be performed.Gonads with a high"Y"mosaic rate are more prone to malignancy in the abdominal cavity.Detecting AMH levels can distinguish cryptorchidism and anorchidism in sexual development disorders with Y chromosomes.
