Based on the theory of "sweet-flavored medicinals retaining and restoring body fluid"， this paper proposed that the core pathogenesis of hypercoagulable state in malignant tumors is qi deficiency and fluid consumption， blood stasis and vessels stagnation， which evolves dynamically according to the pattern "qi deficiency → fluid consumption → blood stasis". Accordingly， a staged treatment system is established with the general principle of "fortifying the middle jiao， restoring fluid and activating blood circulation". In the initial stage， invigorating the spleen and boosting qi to generate body fluid， targeting the onset of middle jiao deficiency and body fluid consumption； in the middle stage， nourishing yin and unblocking collaterals to facilitate body fluid circulation， addressing the disorder of body fluid transportation and collateral injury caused by internal dryness； in the late stage， consolidating yin and resolving blood stasis to retain body fluid， resolving yin impairment， fluid exhaustion， and binding of stasis and toxin. By regulating body fluid metabolism to improve the hypercoagulable state， this system is intended to provide insights for the prevention and treatment of hypercoagulable state in malignant tumors with traditional Chinese medicine.

Gastric ulcer （GU） is a high-incidence digestive system disease characterized pathologically by disruption of gastric mucosal integrity， with clinical features including a prolonged course and periodic recurrence. Modern medicine attributes its pathogenesis to the dynamic imbalance between aggressive and defensive factors，while traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） posits its development as closely linked to spleen deficiency. Current therapies combining acid suppressants and antibiotics face challenges such as high recurrence rates，poor mucosal healing，and adverse drug reactions. Long-term use may induce metabolic disturbances like hypergastrinemia and reduced intestinal microbiota diversity. Therefore，exploring safer and longer-lasting therapeutic strategies has become a critical focus. TCM has extensive clinical experience and unique advantages in GU prevention and treatment. Studies demonstrate that the classic formula Shenling Baizhu San exhibits therapeutic properties of "invigorating spleen and tonifying Qi to restore physiological balance and eliminating dampness and regulating middle energizer to unblock Qi movement"， enabling a holistic approach targeting both symptoms and root causes in GU with spleen deficiency as the core pathology by suppressing aggressive factors and strengthening defensive factors. Experimental research reveals its mechanisms involve enhancing the physicochemical barrier of the mucus layer，repairing epithelial barriers and microcirculation，modulating gastric acid secretion and gastrointestinal motility，and regulating microecological barriers and mucosal immunity. Clinical evidence confirms its synergistic effects in promoting ulcer healing，improving Helicobacter pylori eradication rates，and reducing recurrence risks. This review examined the etiology and pathogenesis of GU and systematically evaluated Shenling Baizhu San from three perspectives-clinical application，pharmacological effects， and experimental research-to provide insights for optimizing integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine protocols and expanding its clinical applications.

Objective: To evaluate the in vitro procoagulant efficacy and in vivo potential thrombogenic risk of self-prepared activated prothrombin complex concentrate (aPCC). Methods: The preparation was administered at a dose of 0.5 IU per milliliter of plasma. For in vitro assays, the self-prepared aPCC concentrate was added to plasma spiked with factorⅧ (FⅧ) inhibitors. Calibrated automated thrombin generation (CAT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), thrombin time (TT), and fibrinogen (Fib) quantification were performed. Normal saline and FEIBA were set as controls to evaluate the procoagulant capacity of the self-prepared aPCC concentrate. For in vivo animal studies, the self-prepared aPCC concentrate was injected into rats via the jugular vein. A ferric chloride (FeCl3) filter paper patch was applied to induce carotid arterial thrombosis. Laser speckle blood flow imaging was used to continuously monitor thrombus formation in the rat carotid artery. Plasma samples were collected from rats for CAT, PT, APTT, TT and Fib testing, with normal saline and FEIBA as controls to evaluate the potential thrombogenic risk of the self-prepared aPCC concentrate. Results: Supplementation with aPCC significantly shortened APTT and PT values in inhibitor-spiked plasma (all P<0.001). There were no statistically significant differences in APTT and PT between FEIBA and self-prepared aPCC (P>0.05). CAT results demonstrated that adding aPCC to inhibitor-containing plasma markedly increased endoge-nous thrombin potential (ETP) and peak thrombin concentration (Peak) (P<0.001), with both parameters higher than those of normal plasma (P<0.05). No significant intergroup difference in ETP was observed between self-prepared aPCC and FEIBA (P>0.05). Carotid blood flow imaging in rats revealed that, compared with FEIBA , thrombi induced by self-prepared aPCC were smaller and less stable, and all underwent spontaneous lysis, accompanied by better restoration of carotid blood perfusion. Conclusion: The self-prepared aPCC restores coagulation function in inhibitor-spiked plasma to a comparable extent as FEIBA , while exhibiting a lower thrombogenic risk.

Objective To investigate the changes in the tumor microenvironment of pancreatic cancer(PDAC)complicated with diabetes mellitus(DM)in a mouse model of hyperglycemia and orthotopic pancreatic cancer by analyzing transcriptome and single-cell transcriptome data in order to identify potential therapeutic targets.Method By integrating single-cell transcriptome and bulk transcriptome data,bioinformatics analysis was conducted to compare the characteristics of tumor cells and tumor immune microenvironment between PDAC patients with DM(DM group)and those without DM(non-DM group).Twenty male C57BL/6 mice(6 weeks old,weighing 18～20 g)were randomly divided into a hyperglycemic group[STZ group,continuous intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg streptozocin(STZ)(final concentration of 1％)dissolved in citrate buffer],and a control group(Control group,an equivalent volume of citrate buffer without STZ at the same time points),with 10 mice in each group.Tail-tip blood glucose level was measured to monitor glycemic status.After orthotopic inoculation of pancreatic cancer cells in both Control and STZ groups,tumor-infiltrating immune cells were harvested.Flow cytometry was employed to determine the effects of hyperglycemia on:total CD8+T cell and Treg cell populations;CD8+T cell subsets expressing Ki67,TNF-α,granzyme B(GZMB)and IFN-γ;surface expression of PD-1,lymphocyte activation gene-3(LAG-3)and T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-3(Tim-3)on CD8+T cells;programmed death-ligand 1(PD-L1)expression on tumor cells;and tumor-associated macrophage surface expression of major histocompatibility complex classⅠ(MHC-Ⅰ)and cluster of differentiation 206(CD206).Results Bioinformatics analysis revealed that,compared to the non-DM group,the genes significantly up-regulated in the DM group were associated with poor prognosis(P＜0.001).The proportion of type 2 ductal cells was increased in the DM group,exhibiting higher levels of copy number variation(P＜0.001).In the tumor immune microenvironment of the DM group,there was an increase in the proportion of Treg cells(P＜0.05)and an elevated exhaustion score for CD8+T cells(P＜0.001),accompanied by down-regulated expression of effector molecules,up-regulated expression of inhibitory checkpoints,and a significant increase in the M2 score of M2-like macrophages(P＜0.001).Animal experiments and flow cytometry found that,compared to the Control group,the STZ group had a shorter survival time(P＜0.001),with decreased proportions of total CD8+T cells(P＜0.01)and CD8+T cells expressing Ki67,TNF-α,GZMB and IFN-γ(P＜0.01),increased proportion of Treg cells(P＜0.001),up-regulated expression of PD-1,LAG-3 and Tim-3 on the surface of CD8+T cells(P＜0.001),and up-regulation of PD-L1 on tumor cell surface(P＜0.001)and enhanced expression of CD206 on the surface of tumor-associated macrophages,while down-regulated expression of MHC-Ⅰ(P＜0.001).Conclusion High glucose promotes the formation of an immunosuppressive microenvironment in PDAC,and targeting type 2 ductal cells and immunosuppressive cells in the tumor microenvironment,combined with dual immune checkpoint antibody therapy,may improve patient prognosis.

Protein liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), a pivotal phenomenon intricately linked to cellular processes, is regulated by various other proteins. However, there is still a lack of high-throughput methods for screening protein regulators of LLPS in target proteins. Here, we developed a CRISPR/Cas9-based screening method to identify protein phase separation regulators by integrating bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) and fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS). Using this newly developed method, we screened the RNA-binding proteins that regulate PABPN1 phase separation and identified the tumor suppressor QKI as a promoter of PABPN1 phase separation. Furthermore, QKI exhibits decreased expression levels and diminished nuclear localization in colorectal cancer cells, resulting in reduced PABPN1 phase separation, which, in turn, promotes alternative polyadenylation (APA), cell proliferation, and migration in colorectal cancer.

Body weight abnormalities, including overweight, obesity, and underweight, have become a dual public health challenge in Chinese adults: overweight and obesity lead to a variety of chronic complications, while underweight increases the risks of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and organ dysfunction. To systematically address these issues, multidisciplinary experts in endocrinology, sports science, nutrition, and psychiatry from various regions have held multiple weight management seminars. Based on the latest epidemiological data and clinical evidence, they expanded the guideline to include assessment and intervention strategies for underweight, in addition to the core content of obesity management. This guideline outlines the etiological mechanisms, evaluation methods, and multidimensional management strategies for overweight and obesity, covering key areas such as diagnosis and assessment, medical nutrition therapy, exercise prescription, pharmacological intervention, and psychological support. It is intended to provide a scientific and standardized approach to weight management across the adult population, aiming to curb the rising prevalence of obesity, mitigate complications associated with abnormal body weight, and improve nutritional status and overall quality of life.

The aim of this updated guideline is to provide comprehensive recommendations for the management of gout in patients with common comorbidities, such as chronic kidney disease(CKD), cardiovascular disease(CVD), diabetes, osteoarthritis(OA), and gastrointestinal disorders. This guideline was developed by a multidisciplinary expert panel consisting of specialists in endocrinology, rheumatology, nephrology, cardiology, gastroenterology, and methodology. The development process adhered to standard methodologies, including PICO(population, intervention, comparator, and outcomes) question deconstruction, systematic literature review, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation(GRADE) for evidence and recommendation evaluation, Delphi voting, and expert consensus. The guideline presents 26 evidence-based recommendations addressing 7 clinical questions for patients with hyperuricemia and gout in the context of comorbidities. Key recommendations include the maintenance of strict serum urate targets, particularly for patients with CKD stage≥3, chronic gouty arthritis, and OA, in order to prevent disease progression. In patients with CVD or diabetes, intra-articular triamcinolone is preferred over systemic glucocorticoids. Prioritized anti-inflammatory treatments for patients with CKD, gastrointestinal diseases and OA are recommended. The guideline also introduces emerging therapies, such as interleukin-1 inhibitors and selective urate transport inhibitors, as potential treatment options for refractory cases. The update offers a comprehensive, patient-centered approach to managing gout, particularly in individuals with associated comorbidities. Multidisciplinary collaboration and emerging new treatments and evidence ensure the optimization of the recommendations.
