Inflammatory diseases (IDs) are a general term of diseases characterized by chronic inflammation as the primary pathogenetic mechanism, which seriously affect the quality of patient′s life and cause significant social and medical burden. Current drugs for IDs include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, immunomodulators, biologics, and antioxidants, but these drugs may cause gastrointestinal side effects, induce or worsen infections, and cause non-response or intolerance. Given the outstanding performance of metal polyphenol network (MPN) in the fields of drug delivery, biomedical imaging, and catalytic therapy, its application in the diagnosis and treatment of IDs has attracted much attention and significant progress has been made. In this paper, we first provide an overview of the types of IDs and their generating mechanisms, then sort out and summarize the different forms of MPN in recent years, and finally discuss in detail the characteristics of MPN and their latest research progress in the diagnosis and treatment of IDs. This research may provide useful references for scientific research and clinical practice in the related fields.

Objective:
To explore the relationship of sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students, and to analyze its mediating role of daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol ability, so as to provide a scientific reference for improving middle school students mental health.
Methods:
From October to November, 2023, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Adolescent Social Rejection Questionnaire, Brief Selfcontrol Scale and Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scaleshort Form (DERS-16) were used to assess 806 students recruited from four middle schools in Bengbu City by a convenient cluster random sampling method. And model-6 of PROCESS and 5 000 Bootstraps were used to make a chainmediating model analysis.
Results:
Daytime dysfunction was positively correlated with sleep quality(r=0.57), social rejection(r=0.19), selfcontrol(r=0.29, P<0.01). Selfcontrol was positively correlated with emotional regulation difficulties(r=0.54, P<0.01).Poor sleep quality showed a significant positive association with on daytime dysfunction, and daytime dysfunction further affected social rejection, selfcontrol ability and emotional regulation difficulties (β=0.86, 0.60, 1.27, 1.56, P<0.05). Meanwhile, daytime dysfunction, social rejection and selfcontrol played a serial mediating role in the relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties (Estimate=0.11,95%CI=0.04-0.20,P<0.05).
Conclusion
The study reveals the complex relationship between sleep quality and emotional regulation difficulties in middle school students and provides a new theoretical basis for adolescent sleep improvement and mental health interventions.

This paper summarized Professor PENG Peichu's experience in the differentiation and treatment of prostate cancer in three phases and four stages. It is considered that prostatic cancer is categorized into root deficiency and branch excess, with depletion of healthy qi as the root, and the accumulation of cancer toxin as the minifestation. Clinical diagnosis and treatment of prostatic cancer can be divided into three phases and four stages according to the exuberance and decline of pathogenic and healthy qi and the changes of deficiency and excess of yin and yang. In the initial accumulation phase of cancer toxin (yang excess stage), the key pathogenesis is the accumulation of dampness, heat and static blood, and internal generation of cancer toxin, and the treatment should be resolving toxins, fighting cancer and dispelling yang excess. In the phase of healthy qi deficiency and toxin accumulation (yin deficiency stage), with the lung and kidney yin deficiency, dampness, heat and static toxin accumulation as the key pathogenesis, the treatment should be centered on mutual generation between metal and water to nourish kidney yin, supplemented with the method of clearing heat and draining dampness, activating blood and resolving toxins, for which self-made Nanbei Formula(南北方)is usually used. In the phase of yang deficiency and cold stagnation (yang deficiency stage and yin excess stage), with the spleen and kidney yang deficiency, cold dampness stagnation, static heat and toxin accumulation as the key pathogenesis, the treatment should be warming and tonifying spleen and kidney to dissipate cold accumulation; for deficiency of both yin and yang, and excess pathogen obstruction, modified Yanghe Decoction(阳和汤) is recommended, while for yang deficiency, cold congealing and blood stasis, self-made Wenshen Sanjie Formula(温肾散结方) can be used, and for cold dampness binding with cancer toxin, and cold complex with heat, self-made Quanan Formula (泉安方) is advised.
