As the core vehicle for preserving and transmitting traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) academic thought and clinical experience, the establishment of a robust quality evaluation system for TCM clinical case reports is a crucial component in the current standardization and modernization of TCM. Based on the practical experience of constructing the China Clinical Cases Library of Traditional Chinese Medicine by the China Association of Chinese Medicine, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of critical challenges, including insufficient authenticity and unfocused evaluation criteria. It proposed a three-dimensional evaluation framework grounded in the structure-process-outcome logic, encompassing three dimensions of authenticity and standardization, characteristics and advantages, application and translational impact. This framework integrated 12 key evaluation indicators in a systematic manner. The model preserved the academic characteristics of TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, while aligning with modern scientific research standards, achieving a balance between individualized TCM experience and standardized evaluation. Concurrently, this study provided theoretical foundations and methodological guidance for evaluating the quality of TCM clinical cases, contributing significantly to the inheritance of TCM knowledge, evidence-based practice, and the reform of talent evaluation mechanisms.

BACKGROUND:Both calorie restriction and time-restricted feeding,as two common dietary patterns,have been shown to improve health by regulating metabolism.However,the difference between these dietary patterns,metabolic indices,as well as the gut microbiota still requires further attention.OBJECTIVE:To explore the differences of calorie restriction and time-restricted feeding on the metabolic indices and gut microbiota of mice.METHODS:The C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into three groups of ad libitum,calorie restriction,and time-restricted feeding(n=6 per group)for 28 weeks of dietary intervention.Various parameters such as body weight,food intake,glucose tolerance,serum fasting insulin,Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance,and leptin were measured.The impact of different interventions on the gut microbiota structure in mice was explored using 16S rRNA sequence analysis.Key operational taxonomic units responsive to dietary interventions were identified through LEfSe analysis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)Compared with the ad libitum group,the body weight,food intake,area under the glucose tolerance curve of the calorie restriction and time-restricted feeding groups were decreased(P<0.01),and the serum leptin was decreased(P<0.05).The fasting insulin level and serum leptin level of the calorie restriction group were decreased(P<0.05)and were significantly lower than those of the time-restricted feeding group(P<0.05);homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance decreased in the calorie restriction group(P<0.01).(2)Compared with the ad libitum group,the αdiversity of gut microbiota in the calorie restriction group and the time-restricted feeding group was decreased(P<0.05),but the diversity of the time-restricted feeding group was slightly lower than that in the calorie restriction group.(3)There were 15 key operational taxonomic units related to calorie restriction and the time-restricted feeding intervention,of which 8 were positively correlated with metabolic phenotypes and their abundance decreased,and 3 were negatively correlated with metabolic phenotypes and their abundance increased(P<0.05).OTU819 Lachnospiraceae_UCG-006 was positively correlated with body weight,area under the glucose tolerance curve,homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance,and fasting insulin,while OTU1397 Muribaculaceae was negatively correlated with these indicators.The results show that both calorie restriction and the time-restricted feeding intervention can improve the weight and glucose metabolism of mice,and both intervention modes caused the remodeling of the gut microbiota,which helped to improve the metabolic disorders.

Objective:This study aims to investigate the relationship between plague epidemics and environmental factors in Lincang City.Methods:Epidemiological survey data and environmental factors (including altitude, temperature, rainfall, and season) from plague occurrence sites in Lincang City from 1990 to 2020 were collected from Lincang Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the data sharing platform of the data sharing service network of the China Meteorological Administration, and analyzed using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA).Results:From 1990 to 2005, a total of 38 outbreaks of plague among rodents had been reported, 17 of which involved human beings. Since 2006, the plague had entered a dormant period, with no further epidemics reported up to 2020. The plague epidemic in Lincang City exhibited a clear seasonal variation, with the primary epidemic season occurred from autumn to early winter, peaking in September and October. Furthermore, the plague epidemic in Lincang City exhibited a pronounced spatial aggregation, with the primary affected regions including Linxiang County, Gengma Dai and Va Autonomous County, Zhenkang County, and Yun County. MCA showed that the Cronbach' α coefficients of all variables in the first and second dimensions were 0.87 and 0.82, respectively, and the characteristic roots were 3.27 and 2.91, respectively. The cumulative contribution rate of the two dimensions was 84.60%. Plague outbreaks were more likely in winter in areas at altitudes of > 1 400 - 1 650 m with 1 000 - 1 200 mm average annual rainfall and 16.0 - 17.9 ℃ average annual temperature, with increased severity. Regions at altitudes of > 500 - 700 m and > 900 - 1 150 m, with average annual rainfall of < 1 000, 1 201 - 1 400 and > 1 600 mm and average annual temperature of 18.0 - 19.9 ℃, showed a higher susceptibility to plague outbreaks, with notably pronounced incidences.Conclusions:The prevalence of plague epidemics is closely related to the local climatic conditions of natural foci in Lincang City. Therefore, it is imperative to enhance the monitoring of these climatic conditions, particularly meteorological data, to facilitate more effective prevention and control of plague outbreaks.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of Blinatumomab on the treatment of refractory or relapsed precursor B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (R/R BCP-ALL) in children.Methods:Clinical data of children with R/R BCP-ALL treated with Blinatumomab in the Department of Hematology, Children′s Hospital of Soochow University, from August 2021 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Children were divided into<45 kg group and ≥45 kg group according to their weight at admission.They were treated with different dosages of Blinatumomab, and bone marrow remission was assessed at about 15 days.Clinical indicators and adverse events during the treatment period were recorded.The rank sum test of two independent samples were used to compare the differences between groups.The Fisher′ s test was used for comparing categorical variables. Results:Among the 16 children with R/R BCP-ALL, 12 cases (75%) achieved complete response (CR) and minimal residual lesion (MRD) turned negative at about 14 days.Among them, 5 out of 9 children with bone marrow primitive naive cell ratio≥0.5 achieved CR, and 7/7 children with bone marrow primitive naive cell ratio<0.5 achieved CR.The peak value of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in children with CR was significantly higher than those without CR ( Z=2.50, P=0.012). Twelve cases achieved CR on bone marrow assessment around day 15, and 3 cases who did not achieve CR remained in remission on day 28, with an efficacy prediction accuracy of 93.8%(15/16). Adverse events included fever, neutropenia, hypokalemia, abnormal liver function, hypocalcemia, edema, rash, hypertension, myocardial damage, abdominal pain, hypotension, and cytokine release syndrome, which were all grade 1.Neurotoxicity and death were not reported. Conclusions:The remission rate of R/R BCP-ALL in children treated with Blinatumomab was high, especially in patients with a low tumor load.The toxicity and adverse events of Blinatumomab treatment are minor and controllable.Day 15 is the optimal time point to evaluate the efficacy of Blinatumomab on children with R/R BCP-ALL, and a higher IL-6 peak can be served as a predictor of its efficacy.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of group interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) on cognitive and social function in patients with first-episode schizophrenia, and to provide references for appropriate psychological treatment for the patients. MethodsA total of 62 patients with first-episode schizophrenia who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) and were admitted to the Third People's Hospital of Foshan from January to December 2021 were selected as the study objects. And patients were divided into study group and control group according to random number table method, each with 31 cases. Both groups were treated with risperidone for 8 weeks, based on this, study group received group IPT. Before and after 8 weeks of treatment, Positive and Negative Syndrorne Scales (PANSS), Wisconsin Card Sorting Tests (WCST) and Personal and Social Performance Sale(PSP) were adopted to assess the patients' psychiatric symptoms, cognitive function and social function. ResultsAfter 8 weeks of treatment, there was no significant difference in PANSS scores between the two groups (t=0.296, P>0.05). The WCST total number of responses in the study group was larger than that in the control group, the number of perseverative errors and non-perseverative errors were smaller than those in the control group, and PSP score of the study group was higher than that of the control group, with statistically significant differences (t=0.398, 2.609, 0.523, 0.381, P<0.05 or 0.01). ConclusionGroup IPT may have no significant efficacy on alleviating the symptoms of patients with first-episode schizophrenia, but it may help improve the cognitive and social function in patients.
