ObjectiveThis paper aims to observe the syndrome improvement and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）. MethodsThrough a multi-center randomized controlled methodology design，confirmed influenza cases were collected from October 2022 to April 2023 in the pediatrics department of eight hospitals，such as Dongfang Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. A total of 180 children with influenza and heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome conforming to the standard were recruited through the clinic. The sick children meeting the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into groups by a block-randomized method. The children in the experimental group were treated with Qingxuan Daozhi formula for five days，and those in the control group were treated with Oseltamivir Phosphate Granules for five days. The primary efficacy indicator was the negative conversion rate of influenza antigen detection. Secondary efficacy indicators were the Canadian acute respiratory illness and flu scale （CARIFS） and the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases. Follow-up observation was conducted on the day of enrollment，48 hours after medication，72 hours after medication， and （6+1） d after medication. ResultsOne hundred and eighty participants were randomly assigned to the experimental group （90 cases） or the control group （90 cases）. All participants were followed up during the study. Comparison of influenza antigen detection results in the primary efficacy indicators showed that the average time of negative influenza antigen conversion in the experimental group was （5.29±1.25） d，and that in the control group was （5.40±1.68） d，without a statistically significant difference. After five days of intervention，52 cases in the experimental group and 51 cases in the control group converted to negative，without a statistically significant difference. CARIFS score results in the secondary efficacy indicators showed that during 72 hours after intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group in three dimensions， including headache，muscle soreness， and the need for extra care （P<0.05）. On the （6+1） days after the intervention，the differences in both the experimental group and the control group were statistically significant in 10 dimensions， including sore throat，bad sleep，uncomfortable feeling，poor spirit and fatigue，crying more than usual，the need for extra care，symptom，function，influence on parents，and total score （P<0.05）. The comparison results within the group in the dimensional scores of symptom， function， and influence on parents，as well as the CARIFS total score showed that with the delay of follow-up time，scores of both groups decreased significantly，with a statistically significant difference （P<0.01）. Inter-group comparison results showed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group at the time of enrollment. With the progress of intervention，the score of the experimental group was significantly decreased compared with that of the control group. At the end of follow-up，the mean score of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group，with no statistically significant difference. In terms of the incidence of complications，severe cases， and critical cases， there were no complications，severe cases， and critical cases in the two groups，without a statistically significant difference. ConclusionThe symptom improvement effect and negative antigen conversion rate of Qingxuan Daozhi formula in the treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome） are not inferior to Oseltamivir Phosphate granules， and children's acceptance is better. It can be more widely used in clinical treatment of influenza in children （heat accumulation in the lung and stomach syndrome）.

The pathogenesis of central nervous system （CNS） diseases is complex， seriously affecting patients' physical and mental health and imposing a heavy economic burden on society. Western medicine shows limited efficacy in treating CNS diseases and is often associated with numerous adverse reactions and contraindications. Chinese medicine Lycii Fructus exhibits multiple pharmacological effects， including immune regulation， enhancement of hematopoietic function， liver protection， anti-tumor， hypoglycemic， antipyretic， anti-aging， and anti-radiation activities， and has gradually been applied in clinical treatment. In recent years， the active components of Lycii Fructus have attracted considerable attention for their potential therapeutic effects on CNS diseases. Studies indicate that these active components may exert neuroprotective effects through anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions， inhibition of neuronal apoptosis， and repair of neuronal damage， involving multiple targets and pathways. This review summarizes the therapeutic effects of Lycii Fructus active components in CNS diseases over the past decade by searching PubMed， CNKI， Wanfang Data， and other electronic databases， aiming to provide new treatment strategies and insights for future research on Lycii Fructus in CNS disorders.

Objective To explore the risk factors for the recurrence of autoimmune pancreatitis(AIP),so as to provide a new reference for its clinical treatment.Methods The clinical data of 198 AIP patients admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Naval Medical University from 2014 to 2021 were collected,including 164 patients with type 1 AIP and 34 patients with type 2 AIP.Based on the recurrence status of AIP,the patients were categorized into recurrence group(38 cases)and non-recurrence group(160 cases),and differences between the 2 groups were analyzed.Patients with definite duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy were further screened,and logistic regression model and Spearman rank correlation analysis were used to analyze the risk factors of AIP recurrence.Results During the follow-up period,19.19％(38/198)of AIP patients experienced a relapse.The 1-,3-,and 5-year cumulative recurrence rates were 6.57％,9.09％,and 12.63％,respectively,with type 1 AIP demonstrating a significantly higher recurrence rate than type 2 AIP(21.95％[36/164]vs 5.88％[2/34],P=0.030).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum low density lipoprotein-cholesterol level(odds ratio[OR]=0.544,95％confidence interval[CI]0.321-0.924,P=0.024)and the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy(OR=0.797,95％CI 0.704-0.902,P＜0.001)were the potential factors of AIP recurrence in 112 patients with definite data on the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy was independently associated with AIP recurrence(OR=0.813,95％CI 0.713-0.926,P=0.002).Spearman rank correlation analysis further demonstrated a negative correlation between the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy and AIP recurrence(r=-0.545,P＜0.001).Additionally,receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the duration of glucocorticoid maintenance therapy had good predictive effect on AIP recurrence,with an area under curve value of 0.873(95％CI 0.800-0.945,P＜0.001).Conclusion Long-term regular glucocorticoid therapy is an independent protective factor against AIP recurrence,and it can significantly reduce the recurrence of AIP.

Telomerase reverse transcriptase(TERT)promoter mutation(TPM)in the TERT gene is one of the most frequent genetic alterations in adult-type diffuse gliomas,particularly in IDH-wildtype glioblastoma and IDH-mu-tant oligodendroglioma with 1p/19q co-deletion.Consequently,the WHO(2021)classification of tumors of the central nervous system incorporates TPM as a key molecular criterion for molecular subtyping and grading,differential diagno-sis,prognosis assessment,and treatment-planning in these gliomas.This article briefly reviews the physiological roles of TERT,the relationship between TPM and gliomagenesis.In order to provide reference for clinical practice.

Background:To compare the efficacy and safety of monthly administrations of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists LY01005 and Zoladex ? in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer. Methods:From October 2020 to November 2021, 188 premenopausal breast cancer patients were enrolled in 34 hospitals and randomized 1:1 to receive either LY01005 or Zoladex ? every 28 days for a total of three injections. All patients concomitantly received oral tamoxifen (TAM). The primary efficacy endpoint was cumulative probability of maintaining menopausal level [oestradiol (E2) ≤30 pg/ml] from day 29 to day 85. The second efficacy endpoint included changes in E2, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) compared with the baseline. Pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), and safety were analyzed. The study also evaluated the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics of LY01005. Results:A total of 188 patients were randomised and 187 patients received either LY01005 or Zoladex ?. Cumulative probabilities of maintaining menopausal level (E2≤30 pg/ml) from day 29 to day 85 were 93.1% for LY01005 and 86.3% for Zoladex ?. The between-group difference was 6.8% (95% CI: -2.3%, 15.9%) and primary efficacy in the LY01005 group was not inferior to that in the Zoladex ? group. Changes in E2, LH, and FSH levels compared with the baseline were equivalent between the two groups (E2: 89.34% to 90.23% vs. 82.11% to 85.02%; LH: 88.89% to 95.52% vs. 89.70% to 97.02%; FSH: 75.36% to 80.85% vs.73.07% to 80.24%, respectively). After three consecutive doses of LY01005, the LH and FSH levels of the subjects showed a transient increase after the first dose, reached a peak on the second day and then started to decrease. The LH and FSH reached a lower level and remained at or below that level until the 85th day. Both treatments were well-tolerated. Conclusion:LY01005 is as effective as Zoladex ? in suppressing E2 to menopausal levels in Chinese patients with premenopausal breast cancer, with a similar safety profile.

Objective:To compare the clinical efficacy and analyze the surgical approach differences using CT parameters between mini-open transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MO-TLIF) and minimally invasive surgery of transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MIS-TLIF) in the treatment of degenerative lumbar diseases.Methods:A total of 68 consecutive patients with degenerative lumbar diseases undergoing surgery at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University from January 2022 to January 2023 were randomized into the MO-TLIF group (34 cases, percutaneous screw-assisted posterior midline MO-TLIF) and the MIS-TLIF group (34 cases, Wiltse approach MIS-TLIF using the Quadrant channel). Perioperative indicators (operative time, incision length, intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, postoperative bedrest duration, and hospital stay) and complications were compared. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were assessed preoperatively and at 3 days, 3 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Effective cross-sectional area (eCSA) of paraspinal muscles was evaluated on MRI preoperatively and 1 year postoperatively. CT parameters of surgical approaches, including spinous process-midline distance (SM), Wiltse-midline distance (WM), surgical approach angle, depth, and multifidus muscle displacement were compared. Pearson correlation and multivariate linear regression analyses were performed to explore associations between CT parameters, operative time, blood loss, and eCSA atrophy.Results:Baseline characteristics showed no significant differences between groups ( P>0.05). The MO-TLIF group exhibited shorter operative time (109.85±7.82 min vs. 133.82±20.22 min), reduced blood loss (77.21±21.83 ml vs. 141.18±31.44 ml), smaller incision length (6.09±0.22 cm vs. 7.00±0.43 cm), shorter bedrest duration (1.59±0.49 d vs. 2.38±0.50 d), and shorter hospital stay (8.93±1.44 d vs. 10.35±1.45 d), but higher fluoroscopy frequency (19.53±1.92 times vs. 16.29±1.78 times) compared to the MIS-TLIF group ( P<0.05). Complications included fat liquefaction (5 cases) and dural tears (2 cases). Both groups showed improved VAS and ODI postoperatively ( P<0.05). At 3 d postoperatively, the MO-TLIF group had lower VAS (2.74±0.47 points vs. 3.35±0.48 points) and ODI (27.46%±2.16% vs. 30.42%±2.52%) than the MIS-TLIF group ( P<0.05). Postoperative eCSA decreased significantly in the MIS-TLIF group ( P<0.05) but remained stable in the MO-TLIF group ( P>0.05). The MO-TLIF group demonstrated smaller SM (8.43±1.81 mm vs. 31.15±6.53 mm), approach angle, depth, and muscle displacement ( P<0.05). CT parameters in the MO-TLIF group showed no correlation with operative time, blood loss, or eCSA atrophy ( r<0.3, P>0.05), whereas parameters in the MIS-TLIF group correlated positively with these outcomes (0.3< r<0.6, P<0.05). Multivariate regression revealed a significant association between CT parameters and eCSA atrophy in the MIS-TLIF group ( R 2=0.474, P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared to MIS-TLIF, MO-TLIF reduces intraoperative blood loss, accelerates recovery, and minimizes paraspinal muscle trauma.
