To summarize the clinical experience of Professor WANG Jie in treating palpitation using the method of tonifying the kidneys and invigorating blood. It is believed that kidney yang deficiency and heart vessel stasis are the key pathogenesis of palpitation, and it is advocated to treat palpitation by tonifying the kidney and invigorating the blood. Meanwhile,the methods of draining water, dissolving phlegm, and fortifying the spleen to supplement the blood should be applied. For palpitation with kidney yang deficiency and heart vessel stasis with upward water, the treatment could use self-prescribed Bushen Huoxue Lishui Formula (补肾活血利水方); for palpitation with phlegm obstruction in blood vessel, the treatment could use self-prescribed Bushen Huoxue Huatan Formula (补肾活血化痰方); for palpitation with spleen yang deficiency, the treatment could use self-prescribed Bushen Huoxue Jianpi Formula (补肾活血健脾方).

Epilepsy is a chronic neurological disorder that often begins in childhood and can extend over the entire life course; therefore, it is necessary to establish a long-term, systematic life-course management model. Whole life-cycle disease management emphasizes interventions at key points in time and focuses on diagnosis and treatment points at all stages of life and disease processes. Guided by the concept of holism and preventive treatment, this article discussed the application strategies of TCM in the prevention, control, treatment, health and management of epilepsy in children at different stages. In the prevention period, the disease should be prevented first, and early screening should be carried out; in the control period, the disease should be prevented from changing, and the early intervention of Chinese materia medica should be carried out; during the treatment period, the combination of disease and syndrome and dynamic syndrome differentiation by stages were adopted; during the rehabilitation period, the treatment of different diseases with the same treatment should be emphasized to manage the comorbidity and improve the prognosis; in the long-term management period, the prevention and recovery after stroke should be focused on, and the comprehensive management scheme of TCM in the transition period from children to adults should be put forward. This article systematically expounded the role of TCM in improving seizure control rate and prognosis in the whole life-cycle management of childhood epilepsy, and actively explored the construction of the whole process health management system of chronic diseases.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of vitrectomy combined with subretinal injection of alteplase (tPA) and intravitreal injection of Conbercept in the treatment of large area submacular hemorrhage (SMH) secondary to polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV).Methods:A retrospective clinical study. From January to September 2021, 32 eyes of 32 patients with massive SMH secondary to PCV diagnosed in the Affiliated Eye Hospital of Nanchang University were included in the study. Large SMH was defined as hemorrhage diameter ≥4 optic disc diameter (DD). There were 32 patients (32 eyes), 20 males and 12 females. The mean age was (72.36±8.62) years. All patients had unilateral disease.The duration from onset of symptoms to treatment was (7.21±3.36) days. All patients underwent best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) examination. BCVA examination was performed using the international standard visual acuity chart, which was converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) visual acuity during statistics. The central macular thickness (CMT) was measured by spectral domain-OCT. The average size of SMH was (6.82±1.53) DD. The logMAR BCVA 1.73±0.44; CMT was (727.96±236.40) μm. All patients were treated with 23G pars plana vitrectomy combined with subretinal injection of tPA and intravitreal injection of Conbercept. At 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, the same equipment and methods were used for relevant examinations before treatment. The changes of BCVA and CMT, the clearance rate of macular hemorrhage, and the complications during and after surgery were observed. BCVA and CMT before and after treatment were compared by repeated measures analysis of variance.Results:Compared with before treatment, BCVA gradually increased at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, and the differences were statistically significant ( F=77.402, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in BCVA between any two groups at different time points after treatment ( P>0.05). Correlation analysis showed that BCVA at 12 months after treatment was negatively correlated with the course of disease ( r=-0.053, P=0.774). One week after treatment, macular hemorrhage was completely cleared in 30 eyes (93.75%, 30/32). The CMT was (458.56±246.21), (356.18±261.46), (345.82±212.38) and (334.64±165.54) μm at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after treatment, respectively. Compared with before treatment, CMT decreased gradually after treatment, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=112.480, P<0.001). There were statistically significant differences in different follow-up time before and after treatment ( P<0.001). The number of treatments combined with Conbercept during and after surgery was (4.2±1.8) times. At the last follow-up, there was no recurrence of SMH, retinal interlamellar effusion and other complications. Conclusion:Subretinal injection of tPA combined with intravitreal injection of Conbercept is safe and effective in the treatment of large SMH secondary to PCV, and it can significantly improve the visual acuity of patients.

The epitranscriptomic mark N6-methyladenosine (m6A), which is the predominant internal modification in RNA, is important for plant responses to diverse stresses. Multiple environmental stresses caused by the tea-withering process can greatly influence the accumulation of specialized metabolites and the formation of tea flavor. However, the effects of the m6A-mediated regulatory mechanism on flavor-related metabolic pathways in tea leaves remain relatively uncharacterized. We performed an integrated RNA methylome and transcriptome analysis to explore the m6A-mediated regulatory mechanism and its effects on flavonoid and terpenoid metabolism in tea (Camellia sinensis) leaves under solar-withering conditions. Dynamic changes in global m6A level in tea leaves were mainly controlled by two m6A erasers (CsALKBH4A and CsALKBH4B) during solar-withering treatments. Differentially methylated peak-associated genes following solar-withering treatments with different shading rates were assigned to terpenoid biosynthesis and spliceosome pathways. Further analyses indicated that CsALKBH4-driven RNA demethylation can directly affect the accumulation of volatile terpenoids by mediating the stability and abundance of terpenoid biosynthesis-related transcripts and also indirectly influence the flavonoid, catechin, and theaflavin contents by triggering alternative splicing-mediated regulation. Our findings revealed a novel layer of epitranscriptomic gene regulation in tea flavor-related metabolic pathways and established a link between the m6A-mediated regulatory mechanism and the formation of tea flavor under solar-withering conditions.
