ObjectiveStarting from the etiology， pathogenesis， and treatment strategies of endometriosis and adenomyosis， to integrate and sort out the academic characteristics of contemporary renowned experts and schools in the field of traditional Chinese medicine gynecology. MethodsAccording to the systematic review of text and opinion （SrTO） process developed by the Joanna Briggs Institute （JBI） in Australia， this paper determined literature screening criteria by searching China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI）， VIP， Wanfang， and China Biomedical Literature Database. Information was extracted after literature screening， and quality evaluation was conducted using the JBI Narrative， Text， and Opinion Systematic Review Strict Evaluation Checklist. The JBI Narrative， Opinion， Text Evaluation， and Review Tool Summary Table was used for information synthesis， and data analysis and display were conducted in the form of text and charts. ResultsThe 146 articles related to 39 renowned experts and 19 articles related to 10 schools of thought were included. Research has found that contemporary experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology consider blood stasis as the core pathogenesis in understanding the etiology and pathogenesis of two diseases and related infertility. Their viewpoints varied from multiple aspects such as clinical symptom characteristics， meridian circulation location， pathological product evolution， disease duration， emotional psychology， lifestyle habits， preference for food and drink， innate endowment， and acquired injury. In terms of treatment， it was advocated to divide the stage， treat according to different types， adapt to the times， integrate nature and humans， and combine multiple methods to treat comprehensively when necessary. It was also recommended to skillfully use insects， make good use of classic formulas and small prescriptions， pay attention to protecting the spleen and stomach and regulating emotions， and make good use of self-formulated empirical formulas for internal or external use. Besides， individualized long-term management of patients was also advocated. ConclusionThis study applies the SrTO process to systematically summarize the academic ideas of contemporary renowned experts and schools in traditional Chinese medicine gynecology regarding the causes， mechanisms， diagnosis， and treatments of endometriosis， providing a scientific and standardized reference for future theoretical exploration.

The analysis presented here is based on the blood components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets, the key anti-atherosclerosis pathway of Guanxin Qiwei tablets was screened by network pharmacology, and the anti-atherosclerosis mechanism of Guanxin Qiwei tablets was clarified and verified by cell experiments. HPLC-Q-Exactive-MS/MS technique was used to analyze the components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets into blood, to determine the precise mass charge ratio of the compounds, and to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the components by using secondary mass spectrometry fragments and literature comparison. Finally, a total of 42 components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets into blood were identified. To better understand the interactions, we employed the Swiss Target Prediction database to predict the associated targets. Atherosclerosis (AS) disease targets were searched in disease databases Genecard, OMIM and Disgent, and 181 intersection targets of disease targets and component targets were obtained by Venny 2.1.0 software. Protein interactions were analyzed by String database. The 32 core targets were selected by Cytscape software. Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis were performed in DAVID database. It was found that the anti-atherosclerosis pathways of Guanxin Qiwei tablets mainly include lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis and AGE-RAGE signaling pathway in diabetic complications and other signal pathways. The core targets and the core compounds were interlinked, and it was found that cryptotanshinone and tanshinone ⅡA in Guanxin Qiwei tablets were well bound to TNF, PPARγ, AKT1, PTG2 and other targets. The lipid metabolism and atherosclerotic pathway was verified using human hl-7702 hepatocytes. This study preliminarily identified the potential pharmacodynamic components of Guanxin Qiwei tablets in the treatment of AS diseases and predicted their pathways of action, and verified the relationship between regulating lipid metabolism and atherosclerosis of Guanxin Qiwei tablets in vitro, providing a reference for the further study of the pharmacodynamic material basis and mechanism of action of this prescription. This experiment was approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Inner Mongolia Medical University (No. YKD202401262).

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Qingrun prescription（QRP）-containing serum on improving insulin resistance in HepG2 cells and its potential mechanisms. MethodsAn insulin resistance model was established in HepG2 cells with 1×10^-6 mol·L^-1 insulin. Branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase （BCKDH） gene silencing was achieved using siRNA， and the cells were divided into 8 groups： normal group， model group （1×10^-6 mol·L^-1 insulin）， metformin group （1 mmol·L^-1 metformin）， high-， medium-， and low-dose QRP groups （20%， 10%， and 5% QRP-containing serum， respectively）， QRP + siRNA-silenced BCKDH （si-BCKDH） group （10% QRP-containing serum + si-BCKDH）， and QRP + si-NC group （10% QRP-containing serum + si-NC）. Glucose levels in the supernatant were measured with a glucose assay kit， while glycogen content was assessed using a glycogen assay kit. Levels of branched-chain amino acids （BCAAs） and branched-chain keto acids （BCKAs） were determined using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry （UHPLC-MS/MS）. mRNA transcription and protein expression levels of BCKDH， dishevelled， Egl-10， and pleckstrin （DEP） domain-containing mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）-interacting protein （DEPTOR）， mTOR， and ribosomal protein S6 kinase 1 （S6K1） were detected using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） and Western blot. ResultsCompared to the normal group， the model group exhibited significantly decreased glucose consumption and glycogen content， increased levels of BCAAs and BCKAs， downregulated expression of BCKDH and DEPTOR， and upregulated mTOR and S6K1 expression （P<0.01）. In comparison to the model group， QRP treatment at all doses significantly enhanced glucose consumption and glycogen content while reducing BCAAs and BCKAs levels （P<0.01）. The high- and medium-dose QRP groups demonstrated significant upregulation of BCKDH mRNA transcription and protein expression， as well as DEPTOR mRNA transcription. Moreover， the DEPTOR protein expression level was significantly increased in high-， medium-， and low-dose QRP groups， while mTOR and S6K1 mRNA and protein expression levels were markedly downregulated （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared to the QRP + si-NC group， the QRP + si-BCKDH group exhibited increased BCAAs and BCKAs levels， significantly decreased BCKDH mRNA transcription and protein expression， downregulated DEPTOR mRNA and protein expression， and upregulated mTOR and S6K1 mRNA and protein expression （P<0.05， P<0.01）. ConclusionQRP may improve insulin resistance by reprogramming BCAAs metabolism. This effect involves upregulating BCKDH， reducing BCAAs and BCKAs levels， and suppressing the mTOR pathway activation.

OBJECTIVE To establish management index system for rational drug use of key monitoring drugs， and provide reference for the management of key monitoring drugs in the hospitals. METHODS First， the management index system for rational drug use of key monitoring drugs was drafted by collecting the evidence from related medical literature. Next， using a modified Delphi method， twenty experienced experts from the fields of pharmacy， medical practice， healthcare insurance， and finance were selected to participate in two rounds of questionnaire consultations. Based on the expert enthusiasm coefficient， authority coefficient， degree of opinion concentration， and degree of coordination， the final indicators were determined to establish a management index system for rational drug use of key monitored drugs in medical institutions. RESULTS The expert enthusiasm coefficients reached 100% in both rounds of consultation. In first-level， second-level and third-level indicators， the authority coefficients of experts were 0.89， 0.86 and 0.87， and coordination coefficients of the experts in importance score were 0.300 （P＜ 0.05）， 0.125 （P＜0.05） and 0.139 （P＜0.05）， respectively. The average score for the importance of all indicators reached over 3.5， in which the full score ratio ranged from 35% to 100%. Except that the variation coefficient of a third-level indicator “number of specifications purchased for key monitored drugs” was 0.26， the variation coefficients of rest indicators were less than or equal to 0.25. Based on the results of expert consultation， final version of the management index system established in this study， including two first-level indicators （drug procurement and use， and rational drug use）， five second-level indicators （such as the accessibility， cost-effectiveness） and twenty third-level indicators （such as the number of specifications purchased for key monitored drugs， the increase in the cost of key monitored drugs）. CONCLUSIONS The management index system established in this study possesses high reliability and strong operability， and may provide a reference for the management of key monitoring drugs in the hospitals.

Investigator initiated trial （IIT） represents a primary format for clinical research in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）. As key implementation sites for TCM-based IIT targeting malignant tumors， western medicine institutions often face unique challenges in conducting such studies， which limit their feasibility and standardization. This paper reviews the registration status of TCM-based IIT for malignancies conducted in western medical institutions and analyzes key difficulties， including complex project initiation and management processes， limited TCM knowledge and skills among western medicine physicians， and relatively low patient acceptance of TCM. From a practical perspective， the study proposes several optimization strategies. These include improving the review and management mechanisms of TCM-related IIT within western medical institutions， establishing multidisciplinary clinical research teams that integrate TCM and western medicine， and enhancing investigators' training in TCM theory and clinical skills. Additionally， the study suggests standardizing IIT operational procedures， objectifying the collection of TCM diagnostic information， refining subject recruitment methods， and increasing TCM involvement in patient follow-up and management. These investigator-oriented， TCM-featured， and operable strategies aim to promote the high-quality development of TCM-based IIT in western medicine institutions and enhance the clinical application of TCM.

According to the theory of cancer toxin pathogenesis， tumors are complex syndromes centered on cancer toxin， characterized by multiple time points and locations， interwoven pathogenic toxins， and a combination of deficiency and excess. Postoperative recurrence of colorectal cancer is a dynamic spatiotemporal process. In this paper， the core pathogenesis of postoperative recurrence of colorectal cancer， namely "deficiency of spleen qi， with damp-heat stasis toxin"， has been discussed based on spatiotemporal evolution of cancer toxin. It is suggested that spleen qi depletion leading to the proliferation of cancer toxin represents the temporal characteristic of postoperative recurrence， while the stasis of damp-heat facilitating the aggregation and spread of cancer toxin refelct its spatial pattern. This paper has constructed a holistic spatiotemporal prevention and treatment strategy according to different stages before and after recurrence. Before recurrence， the focus is on prevention， and it is suggested to rectify the healthy qi and fortify spleen， clear heat and resolve dampness， unblock collaterals and remove toxin. After recurrence， the focus should be on treatment， and the strategy is combating cancer and removing toxin， breaking the blood to eliminate disease， regulating and tonifying the zang-fu （脏腑） organs.

OBJECTIVE To construct the drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection， so as to provide reference for the rational drug use in medical institutions. METHODS On the basis of evidence methodology， relevant guidelines/expert consensus， systematic reviews/meta-analysis were consulted； the evaluation criteria framework for Dezocine injection was established after screening evidence. Delphi method was employed， whereby 28 clinicians and clinical pharmacists from secondary and above-level medical institutions across eight provinces， including Tianjin， Beijing and Shandong， were selected to participate in two rounds of questionnaire surveys. The final indicators were determined based on the experts’ enthusiasm coefficient， authority coefficient， and degree of coordination. RESULTS The effective recovery rate of questionnaire was 100% in the first round and 92.86% in the second round； expert authority coefficient was 0.82 in the first round and 0.81 in the second round； the coordination degree of experts in the first round was 0.29， and in the second round was 0.31 （P＜0.001）. Drug utilization evaluation standard system for Dezocine injection was formed finally， including three dimensions of medication indications， medication process and medication results， with a total of 11 first-level indicators （such as indications， usage and dosage） and 33 second-level indicators （such as labor analgesia and the management of severe pain following major or moderate surgeries combined with other analgesic drugs）. The average importance scores for each indicator ranged from 4.08 to 5.00 points， with an overall average score of 4.61 points and coefficient of variation ranging from 0 to 0.19. CONCLUSIONS The drug utilization evaluation criteria for Dezocine injection established based on evidence-based methodology and Delphi method is authoritative and scientific， which provides a reference for subsequent evaluation of the rationality of clinical medication.

Objective To establish a prediction model for the occurrence of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing, and to provide scientific basis and theoretical support for the prevention and warning of poisoning events. Methods Based on the monitoring data of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing from 2016 to 2024, the seasonal ARIMA model and seasonal index model were established to analyze the data and predict the occurrence of events. Results Between 2016 and 2024, a total of 436 cases of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning were reported in Beijing, showing a downward trend. The established SARIMA model and seasonal index model were SARIMA (1,0,0) (1,1,0) 12, Yt = (-0.0339t+5.8863) × St, and the average relative errors were 65.42% and 29.19%, respectively. In terms of months, the SARIMA model had better predictive performance during April and summer (June to August), while the seasonal index model was superior in other months. By combining the two models, the predicted number of events in 2025 was as follows: 3, 2, 2, 3, 1, 5, 2, 7, 1, 1, 1, and 2. Conclusion The seasonal index model has the best prediction effect on the non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning events in Beijing throughout the year, and the number of summer events predicted by SARIMA model is closer to the actual values. The two models can be combined to predict the trend of non-occupational carbon monoxide poisoning, which provides a scientific basis for the prevention and control of carbon monoxide poisoning in the future.

BACKGROUND: Disease-modifying therapies have been approved for the treatment of relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS). The present study aims to examine the safety of teriflunomide in Chinese patients with RMS. METHODS: This non-randomized, multi-center, 24-week, prospective study enrolled RMS patients with variant (c.421C>A) or wild type ABCG2 who received once-daily oral teriflunomide 14 mg. The primary endpoint was the relationship between ABCG2 polymorphisms and teriflunomide exposure over 24 weeks. Safety was assessed over the 24-week treatment with teriflunomide. RESULTS: Eighty-two patients were assigned to variant ( n  = 42) and wild type groups ( n  = 40), respectively. Geometric mean and geometric standard deviation (SD) of pre-dose concentration (variant, 54.9 [38.0] μg/mL; wild type, 49.1 [32.0] μg/mL) and area under plasma concentration-time curve over a dosing interval (AUC tau ) (variant, 1731.3 [769.0] μg∙h/mL; wild type, 1564.5 [1053.0] μg∙h/mL) values at steady state were approximately similar between the two groups. Safety profile was similar and well tolerated across variant and wild type groups in terms of rates of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE), treatment-related TEAE, grade ≥3 TEAE, and serious adverse events (AEs). No new specific safety concerns or deaths were reported in the study. CONCLUSION: ABCG2 polymorphisms did not affect the steady-state exposure of teriflunomide, suggesting a similar efficacy and safety profile between variant and wild type RMS patients.
