It is believed that "deficiency qi retention and stagnation" is the fundamental pathogenesis of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Patients often have severe coronary vessel congestion before PCI, leading to emptiness in the heart's collaterals, which results in deficiency of healthy qi, poor movement of blood and body fluids, so the heart collaterals are susceptible to stagnation and stasis,then phlegm and stasis generate; after PCI, it is easy to damage the healthy qi then lead to qi deficiency, causing qi, blood, and body fluids fail to transport, thereby leading to blood stasis and phlegm turbidity retention, generating heat and wind to damage the heart and body. It is proposed that the prevention before PCI should replenish qi and collaterals, expel blood stasis and resolve phlegm, to support "deficient qi" in heart collaterals and prevent "stagnation" after PCI. Postoperative management should focus on replenishing qi and protecting the collaterals, eliminating pathogen and controlling development, so as to avoid exacerbating deficiency and stagnation by damaging healthy qi, and eliminate pathogen and unblock the collaterals to interrupt the pathogenesis, which prevent "retention and stagnation" from changes.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis(LCH)is an inflammatory myeloid neoplasm characterized by aberrant differentiation or proliferation of mononuclear phagocytes. Orbital involvement,termed orbital LCH(OLCH),typically presents with periorbital masses,eyelid edema,and localized osteolytic lesions. Besides,optic nerve involvement may cause diplopia,visual impairment and so on,significantly impairing quality of life. Central nervous system-Langerhans cell histiocytosis(CNS-LCH),including central diabetes insipidus and neurodegeneration,may cause irreversible sequelae such as diabetes insipidus,progressive tremor,and ataxia,severely impacting prognosis. Current management of OLCH and its association with CNS-LCH remain controversial.The Histiocyte Society considers OLCH to be one of the risk factors for CNS-LCH,and therefore should receive 6 months of systemic chemotherapy to prevent sequelae. However,conflicting evidence suggests an unclear relationship between OLCH and CNS-LCH progression,with studies demonstrating favorable outcomes in isolated orbital cases treated through localized approaches(surgical excision,curettage,or intralesional corticosteroid injection).Patients with unifocal OLCH exhibit favorable prognosis and potential for spontaneous resolution,and may could spare from systemic chemotherapy to avoid related adverse effects.

The risk of colorectal cancer is substantially higher in patients with long-term colorectal inflammation than in the general population.Prolonged inflammation is an essential factor that triggers colorectal cancer.The dynamic pathological evolution process of the classic"inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis"in the colorectum is proctocolitis→dysplasia→cancer.Traditional Chinese medicine lacks a systematic consensus on the pathogenesis of colorectal"inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis".This article proposes the theory of"pathogenic factors lurk intestinal collaterals"to explain the development law of pathogenesis in the dynamic evolution of colorectal"inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis".Internal and external factors can trigger the movement of the latent pathogenic factors,thereby damaging the intestinal tissues,when latent pathogenic factors are hidden in the intestinal collaterals,and the healthy qi is unable to expel them.The prolonged course of the disease further weakens the healthy qi,allowing the latent pathogenic factors to accumulate in the intestinal collaterals,intertwine with phlegm-dampness and blood stasis,accelerate accumulation,and lead to cancer."Latent pathogens trapped in the intestinal collaterals"is the core pathogenesis during inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis.Thus,to prevent colorectal inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis,consideration should be given to the principle of driving away pathogenic factors and dredging the collaterals in clinical practice.The theory regarding"latent pathogens trapped in the intestinal collaterals"can provide a theoretical reference for syndrome differentiation and treating colorectal inflammation-mediated carcinogenesis and offer novel ideas for clinical treatment.

ObjectiveTo investigate the therapeutic effect of Dayuanyin on acute lung injury induced by H1N1 infection and decipher the potential mechanism. MethodThe constituents in Dayuanyin were analyzed by ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-exactive orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS). Forty-eight female BALB/c mice were randomized into normal, model, oseltamivir (19.5 mg·kg-1), and low-, medium-, and high-dose (2.73, 5.46, 10.92 g·kg-1) Dayuanyin groups. The normal and model groups were administrated with deionized water by gavage, and the other groups were administrated with the corresponding drugs by gavage. On day 3 of drug administration, the normal group received nasal inhalation of normal saline, and the other groups were inoculated intranasally with A/RP/8/34 (H1N1) for the modeling of influenza virus infection. Mice were administrated with drugs continuously for 7 days and weighed daily. Sampling was performed 12 h after the last administration, and the lung tissue was weighed to calculate the lung index. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was performed to observe the pathological and morphological changes of the lung tissue and bronchi. The cytometric bead array (CBA) was used to measure the serum levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), C-X-C motif ligand 1 (CXCL1), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), interleukin-12p70 (IL-12p70), chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 10 (CXCL10), granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-10 (IL-10), interferon-beta (IFN-β), interferon-alpha (IFN-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6). According to the results of mass spectrometry and network pharmacology, we analyzed the mechanism of Dayuanyin in treating acute lung injury caused by H1N1. The protein levels of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK), nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), and their phosphorylated forms were determined by Western blot. The mRNA levels of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), Toll-like receptor 3 (TLR3), Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), and Toll-like receptor 8 (TLR8) in the lung tissue were measured by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR). ResultA total of 57 compounds, including paeoniflorin and baicalein, were detected in Dayuanyin. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed decreased body weight (P<0.01), lung edema and hemorrhage, increased lung index (P<0.01), and elevated levels of IFN-γ, IL-12p70, CCL5, IL-1β, CXCL10, GM-CSF, IFN-β, and IL-6 (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Dayuanyin attenuated alveolar wall thickening, capillary congestion, and immune cell infiltration, reduced the alterations in body weight and lung index (P<0.01), and down-regulated the protein levels of IFN-γ, IL-12p70, CCL5, IL-1β, CXCL10, GM-CSF, IFN-β, and IL-6 (P<0.01). A total of 57 key genes were predicted by network pharmacological analysis, of which the MAPK signaling pathway was the main target signaling pathway. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed up-regulation in the protein levels of phosphorylation (p)-ERK1/2, p-p38 MAPK, and p-NF-κB (P<0.01) and the mRNA levels of TLR7, TLR8, MyD88, and TLR3 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, Dayuanyin lowered the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2, p38 MAPK, and NF-κB p65 in a dose-dependent manner (P<0.01) and down-regulated the mRNA levels of TLR3, TLR7, TLR8, and MyD88 (P<0.01). ConclusionDayuanyin can prevent and control H1N1 infection-induced acute lung injury by inhibiting the TLR/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway.

ObjectiveTo investigate the changes in cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction after taking Tongnaoyin, a traditional Chinese medicine, based on head and neck computed tomography (CT) angiography (CTA) combined with brain CT perfusion imaging (CTP). MethodA total of 240 patients with cerebral infarction of phlegm and blood stasis syndrome treated in Jiangsu Province Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2018 to September 2023 were randomly divided into a control group (99 cases) and a Tongnaoyin group (141 cases). Based on the guidelines, the control group was treated with conventional treatment such as anti-aggregation, anticoagulation, lipid-lowering and plaque stabilization, brain protection, and supportive treatment. The Tongnaoyin group was treated with Tongnaoyin of 200 mL in warm conditions in the morning and evening on the basis of the control group. Both groups underwent CTA combined with CTP within 24 hours after admission, and they were reexamined by CTA and CTP in the sixth month after admission. The degree of intracranial artery stenosis was determined according to the North American Symptomatic Carotid Endarterectomy Trial (NASCET) method. The relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV), relative cerebral blood flow (rCBF), mean transit time (MTT), and time to peak (TTP) of the lesion area before and after treatment were compared. The adverse outcomes of the two groups within six months after discharge were compared. ResultCompared with the group before treatment, the degree of vascular stenosis in the Tongnaoyin group was significantly reduced, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=105.369,P<0.05). Compared with the control group after treatment, the improvement rate of vascular stenosis in the Tongnaoyin group was higher (χ2=84.179,P<0.01), and the curative effect was better.After treatment, the rCBV and rCBF of patients in the Tongnaoyin group were significantly increased, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). MTT and TTP showed a trend of shortening, but the difference was not statistically significant. There was no statistically significant difference in rCBV, rCBF, MTT, and TTP in the control group. Compared with those in the control group after treatment, the rCBV and rCBF in the Tongnaoyin group were significantly increased, while MTT and TTP were significantly reduced (P<0.01). After six months of discharge, the risk of poor prognosis in the Tongnaoyin group was significantly reduced compared with the control group (P<0.05). ConclusionTongnaoyin has a good effect on improving cerebral blood perfusion in patients with acute cerebral infarction. It can be used as an effective supplement for the conventional treatment of ischemic stroke to improve clinical efficacy.
