ObjectiveTo explore the clinical and phenomics characteristics of patients with phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns in stable angina pectoris （SAP） of coronary heart disease （CHD）. MethodsA multicenter cross-sectional study design was adopted. A total of 300 patients with SAP of CHD were enrolled and classified into 120 cases of phlegm-stasis binding syndrome， 125 cases of qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome， 38 cases of qi stagnation-accompanied syndrome， and 17 cases of toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome according to traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） patterns. Data of patients with different TCM patterns were collected， including general condition， TCM symptoms， blood lipids， coagulation function， immune indicators， and serum metabolomics. Metabolic pathway enrichment analysis was used to compare differences in phenomics characteristics among groups. Metabolites with variable importance in projection （VIP） ≥1 and fold change （FC） ≥2 were considered as representative differential metabolites. ResultsPatients in each TCM pattern type were most commonly in the 60-75 years age group， with a relatively high proportion of males. Regarding TCM symptoms， patients with phlegm-stasis binding syndrome most commonly presented with wiry-choppy or wiry-slippery pulse， chest pain， and chest tightness； in patients with qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome， fatigue， chest pain， and weak pulse were most common； in patients with qi stagnation-accompanied sydnrome， wiry-choppy or wiry-slippery pulse， chest pain， and symptoms that increase or decrease with emotional changes， belching， or flatulence were most common； in patients with toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome， bitter taste in the mouth， chest tightness， irritability， restlessness or manic delirium， and dry and hard stools or foul-smelling diarrhea were most common. Comparisons among the different TCM patterns showed statistically significant differences in coagulation parameters （P＜0.05）， whereas no statistically significant difference was found in blood lipid levels and immune indicators （P＞0.05）.Metabolomics analysis suggested that disorders of glycerophosphate metabolism and valine， leucine， and isoleucine metabolism are characteristic features of phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns. The representative differential metabolites between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and qi deficiency-accompanied syndrome were 7,8-dihydrobiopterin （FC = 3.58） and oxypurinol （FC = 124.50）. Those between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and qi stagnation-accompanied syndrome were cytidine 5′-diphosphocholine （FC = 2.62） and D-mannosamine （FC = 2.99）. Those between phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and toxin accumulation-accompanied syndrome were anserine （FC = 7.83） and canrenone （FC = 8.94）. ConclusionThere are certain differences in the clinical characteristics and phenomics characteristics among patients with SAP due to CHD exhibiting phlegm-stasis binding syndrome and its accompanied patterns. The phenomics characteristics mainly involve biological alterations such as lipid metabolism disorders， amino acid metabolism abnormalities， and multiple immune indicators activation， which may provide a reference for precise differentiation and treatment of SAP of CHD in TCM clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo analyze the distribution characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） constitution and factors associated with hyperuricemia （HUA） in the HUA population， providing a reference for persona-lized prevention and management of HUA. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among individuals who had completed both serum uric acid （SUA） testing and TCM constitution identification during health examinations. According to SUA levels， participants were divided into a hyperuricemia group and a normal SUA group； according to the constitution identification results， participants were classified into balanced constitution， single biased constitution， and mixed constitution. The distribution characteristics of TCM constitution were compared between the two groups； participants in the hyperuricemia group were stratified by sex and age （≥18 years and ＜40 years， ≥40 years）， and the distribution characteristics of TCM constitution were compared across different sex and age groups. Logistic regression was used to analyze factors associated with HUA， with further stratified analyses by sex and age. ResultsA total of 10 920 participants were included， comprising 4170 cases （38.19%） in the hyperuricemia group and 6750 cases （61.81%） in the normal serum uric acid group. According to TCM constitution， there were 420 cases （3.85%） with balanced constitution， 6108 cases （55.93%） with single biased constitution， and 4392 cases （40.22%） with mixed constitution. In the hyperuricemia group， there were 80 cases （19.05%） with balanced constitution； 2275 cases （37.25%） with single biased constitution， among which damp-heat constitution （1205 cases， 52.97%）， phlegm-dampness constitution （500 cases， 21.98%）， and qi-stagnation constitution （181 cases， 7.96%） accounted for relatively high proportions； and 1815 cases （41.33%） with mixed constitution， among which mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness （51.35%， 932 cases）， mixed constitution involving blood stasis （47.00%， 853 cases）， and mixed constitution involving damp-heat （41.21%， 748 cases） accounted for relatively high proportions. Logistic regression showed that qi-stagnation constitution （OR=1.68）， mixed constitution involving qi-stagnation （OR=1.53）， mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness （OR=1.55）， and mixed constitution involving blood stasis （OR=1.50） were independently associated with HUA （P＜0.05）. Sex-stratified analysis showed that mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness was positively associated with HUA risk in females； age-stratified analysis showed that， among individuals aged ≥18 and ＜40 years， qi-stagnation constitution， mixed constitution involving qi stagnation， and mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness were positively associated with HUA risk （all P＜0.05）. ConclusionThe prevalence of HUA differs markedly by sex and age. Mixed constitution accounts for a higher proportion of HUA patients. Qi-stagnation constitution， mixed constitution involving qi stagnation， mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness， and mixed constitution involving blood stasis are associated with HUA. Notably， the specific association of mixed constitution involving phlegm-dampness in females and qi-stagnation constitution in young adults is particularly prominent.

ObjectiveTo improve the quality of artificial cultivation of the source plant of Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus （FCB）， an XGBoost regression model was constructed based on the Group-Lasso method to screen the characteristic variables. The key factors affecting the quality formation of the source plant were then analyzed. MethodsFirstly， with the total alkaloid content （TAC） of FCB as the dependent variable， explanatory characteristic variables were screened from the influencing factors of TAC in the literature studying FCB quality from 2010 to 2024 based on the Group-Lasso regression algorithm. The screening results were verified by ten-fold cross-validation. Secondly， the present study established an XGBoost regression model to analyze the influencing factors of the quality formation of the source plant， and calculated the importance score of the explanatory characteristic variables. ResultsGroup-Lasso regression removed 2 numerical independent variables and retained the remaining 5 categorical variables and 6 numerical variables； cross-validation also showed that the number of screening variables is 11， with the corresponding optimal λ parameter value of 0.000 515 225 1. The results of XGBoost regression model confirmed the geographical origin as the most critical factor affecting the quality formation of source plants， followed by growth status and soil type， and then by mean temperature of the warmest month， original plant type， mean annual temperature， and altitude. Climate type， precipitation， frost-free period and relative humidity of the geographical origin exerted little effect. ConclusionThe prediction tools of Group-Lasso and XGBoost regression analysis models were preliminarily established for the quality formation of FCB. These models overcame the multicollinearity among numerical independent variables， and explored the geographical distribution of TAC and its key driving factors. The suitable cultivation areas can be selected or wild-tending bases established based on these key factors， thereby effectively avoiding blind introduction and cultivation. Finally， the present study provided a reference for the development and utilization of FCB， a theoretical basis for the market expansion and quality regulation， and a direction for the sustainable development and protection of new and efficient FCB resources.

The scientific interpretation of the theory of medicinal properties of TCM is a research hotspot in the modernization of TCM. It is of great value to clarify the property and degree of cold and heat in Chinese materia medica for guiding clinical precise medication. In recent years, the research on the cold and heat properties of Chinese materia medica has been carried out at the animal, cell and molecular levels. Based on the objective material basis of medicinal properties, from the perspective of biological effects such as thermodynamics and multiomics; with the help of infrared thermal imaging and other technologies for analysis; forming a variety of research models such as "property-structure relationship". Related research has developed from a single material component or index to a new model that tends to integrate multi-source information and multi-dimensional data. However, how to deal with the problems of large sample size, strong redundancy, high heterogeneity, and how to integrate multi-dimensional information are still research difficulties. With its powerful computing and learning ability, machine learning can show good discrimination and prediction ability in the study of cold and hot properties of Chinese materia medica, and play an important role in the study of cold and hot properties of Chinese materia medica. At present, the most widely used algorithms are linear discriminant analysis, Logistic discriminant analysis, support vector machine, decision tree, random forest and so on. The data dimension of the existing research needs to be enriched, the algorithm has room for further optimization, and a more detailed discriminant model of cold and hot properties of Chinese materia medica needs to be established.

Objective To summarize and quantitatively analyze the academic literatures in the field of pulmonary rehabilitation for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),and track the international research foci and trends.Methods Relevant research in the field of COPD pulmonary rehabilitation from 2012 to 2021 was retrieved from the Web of Science core database.Microsoft Excel 2019 and GraphPad Prism 8.0 were used for quantitative analysis of the search results,and Cite Space(5.8.R3)and VOS viewer were used for visual analysis.Results A total of 5 752 articles were obtained.The relevant articles increased gradually from 2012 to 2021.America and the United Kingdom issued a large number of publications,and dominated in this field.The League of European Research Universities was the most productive and influential institution.International Journal of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease was the journal with the largest number of publications.The most cited journal was the European Respiratory Journal.The essential articles in this field were diagnosis and treatment scheme,clinical guidelines,and evidence-based medicine.The main literature topics were pulmonary rehabilitation,mechanical ventilation,triple therapy,physical activity,and obesity.The research foci were COPD exacerbation,respiratory failure,mechanical ventilation,and oxygen therapy.Conclusion Pulmonary rehabilitation of COPD is a research field with great development.The current researches mainly focus on respiratory support therapy for patients with COPD exacerbation and respiratory failure,which may represent an emerging trend in this field.In the future,academic exchanges and research cooperation between regional institutions should be strengthened to remedy the imbalance in development between regions.

AIM:To examine the impact of the transcription factor 7 analogue 2(TCF7L2)gene polymorphism on the hypoglycaemic effect of ex-enatide in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).METHODS:A total of 100 newly diagnosed Han Chinese patients with T2DM who had not re-ceived any drug treatment were selected from the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University and treated with exenatide monotherapy for 6 months.The TCF7L2 rs290487 was genotyped by SnaPshot method,and blood glucose levels,lipids profiles and pancreatic function evaluation indica-tors were measured at baseline,3 months and 6 months after exenatide treatment.Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to assess the cor-relation between each indicator and the reduction in glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels after 6 months of exenatide treatment.The expression of TCF7L2 protein in the plasma of T2DM patients was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)kit.Furthermore,western blotting was con-ducted to ascertain TCF7L2 expression in pancreat-ic tissues obtained from db/db mice and INS-1 cells cultured under high glucose conditions.Lentivirus transfection was used to overexpress or knock down TCF7L2 in insulinoma cell line(INS-1)cells,followed by measurement of KSIS activity and insu-lin content after a 24-hour intervention with exena-tide.RESULTS:The distribution pattern of TCF7L2 rs290487 was found to be in accordance with Har-dy-Weinberg equilibrium(P＞0.05).Following 6 months of exenatide treatment,there was a nota-ble reduction in blood glucose levels and an im-provement in lipid profiles when compared to base-line values.Additionally,there was a significant in-crease in the homeostasis model assessment of be-ta-cell function(HOMA-B)values.Patients with the TT genotype exhibited significantly lower postpran-dial plasma glucose(PPG)levels and HbA1c values compared to those with the CC or CT genotypes(P＜0.05).After adjusting for age,gender,body mass in-dex(BMI),and waist to hip ratio(WHR)in the mul-tiple linear regression model,a significant associa-tion was observed between the rs290487 TT geno-type,baseline HbA1c levels,and family history of diabetes with the reduction in HbA1c after six months of exenatide treatment(P＜0.05).Further-more,individuals with the rs290487 TT genotype demonstrated a notable elevation in TCF7L2 expres-sion in plasma among T2DM patients in comparison to those with the CC genotype(P＜0.05).In particu-lar,pancreatic tissue from db/db mice exhibited markedly elevated TCF7L2 expression compared to db/m mice.However,this up-regulation was re-versed by exenatide treatment.Similarly,INS-1 cells cultured under high glucose conditions dem-onstrated an increase in TCF7L2 expression,which was ameliorated upon exenatide administration.The knockdown of TCF7L2 using shRNA enhanced the KSIS function of pancreatic β cells and aug-mented the insulinotropic effect of exenatide.Con-versely,the upregulation of TCF7L2 impaired the KSIS function of pancreatic β cells and attenuated the insulinotropic effect of exenatide.CONCLU-SION:The TCF7L2 rs290487 gene polymorphism is closely associated with the hypoglycaemic efficacy of exenatide therapy.The risk allele C may diminish the effectiveness of exenatide by impacting the lev-els of PPG and HbA1c in T2DM patients.The muta-tion at TCF7L2 rs290487 site(C→T)influenced the expression of TCF7L2 protein.By exerting its regula-tory effect,exenatide may be capable of regulating the impact of TCF7L2 on the function of pancreaticβ cells.

Objective:To investigate the value of quantitative parameters of dual-layer detector spectral CT (DLCT) in preoperative prediction of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) in invasive lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:This study employed a cross-sectional design. The data of 91 patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma confirmed by postoperative pathology who underwent DLCT enhanced scanning in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2022 to July 2024 were retrospectively collected. The patients were divided into LVI positive group and LVI negative group according to the postoperative pathology. Gender, age, smoking status, and lesion location were recorded,the clinical T-stage and N-stage were evaluated. Spectral base data images were generated based on the spectral reconstruction algorithm. Conventional CT features such as the size and density of the lesions were analyzed. The DLCT quantitative parameters such as 40 keV single-energy CT value (CT 40 keV), iodine density (ID), standardized iodine density (NID), and effective atomic number (Z eff) were measured. The differences of parameters between the two groups were compared using t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, or χ2 test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to identify independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI. The predictive performance of individual parameters and their combinations for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis and area under the curve (AUC) measurements. Results:There were significant differences in age, T stage, N stage, maximum diameter, focal density, and arteriovenous stage NID and Z eff between the LVI positive group and the LVI negative group ( P<0.05). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that age ( OR=0.890, 95% CI 0.821-0.966), N stage( OR=12.721, 95% CI 2.676-60.473) and venous stage Z eff( OR=0.012,95% CI 0-0.668) were independent factors for predicting invasive lung adenocarcinoma LVI ( P<0.05). The combination of age, N stage, and venous-phase Z eff values demonstrated the highest predictive efficacy for LVI in invasive lung adenocarcinoma, with an AUC of 0.916. Conclusions:The quantitative parameters of DLCT are helpful for preoperative prediction of LVI status of invasive lung adenocarcinoma. The Z eff in the venous stage is an independent predictor, the combination of multiple parameters can further improve the diagnostic efficiency.

Objective:To evaluate the role of the TANK-binding kinase 1 (TBK1)/receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1) signaling pathway in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in aged mice.Methods:Fifty SPF healthy male C57BL/6 mice, aged 18 months, weighing 20-25 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=10 each) using a table of random numbers: control group (group C), POCD group, dimethyl sulfoxide group, GSK group and GSK+ Nec-1 group. A mouse model of POCD was established by the closed reduction internal fixation of the left tibial fracture in anesthetized animals. Dimethyl sulfoxide, TBK1 inhibitor GSK8612 and RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1 (0.5 μl/side) were stereotactically injected into the hippocampal CA1 region at 30 min before operation. Cognitive function was assessed using the contextual fear conditioning test before operation and at 3 days after operation. The mice were then anesthetized and sacrificed, and the hippocampal tissues were obtained for determination of the expression of TBK1, RIPK1, interleukin-lbeta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), activator protein 1 (AP-1) and Nestin (by Western blot), the expression of Bcl-2, Bax and caspase-3 mRNA (by fluorescent quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) and for examination of TBK1/RIPK1 molecular interactions and neural stem cell proliferation in the hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) region (by immunofluorescent staining). Results:Compared with C group, the percentage of freezing time was significantly decreased at 3 days after operation, the expression of Bax mRNA, caspase-3 mRNA, RIPK1, IL-1β, TNF-α and AP-1 was up-regulated, the expression of TBK1, Bcl-2 mRNA and Nestin was down-regulated, and the proliferation of neural stem cells in the hippocampal DG region was decreased in POCD group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with POCD group, the percentage of freezing time was significantly decreased at 3 days after operation, the expression of Bax mRNA, caspase-3 mRNA, IL-1β, TNF-α and AP-1 was up-regulated, the expression of TBK1, Bcl-2 mRNA and Nestin was down-regulated, and the proliferation of neural stem cells in the hippocampal DG region was decreased in GSK group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Compared with GSK group, the percentage of freezing time was significantly increased at 3 days after operation, the expression of Bax mRNA, caspase-3 mRNA, IL-1β, TNF-α and AP-1 was down-regulated, the expression of TBK1, Bcl-2 mRNA and Nestin was up-regulated, and the proliferation of neural stem cells in the hippocampal DG region was increased in GSK+ Nec-1 group ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions:The TBK1/RIPK1 signaling pathway is involved in the pathogenesis of POCD in aged mice.
