As a distinctive resource of Chinese civilization， traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） technology transfer faces significant opportunities under the background of digital and intelligent transformation， while also being constrained by unique challenges such as the complexity of its theoretical system， lengthy industrial chains， and multidimensional policy restrictions， resulting in a "high-value-high-threshold" paradox. At present， TCM technology transfer is deeply trapped in a "threefold reluctance" dilemma， i.e.， unwillingness to transfer， inability to transfer， and lack of capacity to transfer. Specifically， the disconnection between scientific research evaluation systems and market demand leads to low conversion rates of research achievements， unclear ownership and compliance risks suppress innovation incentives， and the absence of professional services intensifies supply-demand mismatches. This article systematically analyzes the specific characteristics of TCM technology transfer and proposes a breakthrough pathway centered on full-chain digital and intelligent transformation. By integrating technologies such as intelligent sorting systems， blockchain-based traceability， and AI diagnostic models， the TCM ecosystem spanning "cultivation-production-service" can be reconstructed. In terms of standardization， promoting the progression from "experience-based data conversion" to "data standardization" and further to "intelligent standardization" is advocated to resolve quality control challenges. For example， a "three-no-one-full" certification system can strengthen quality trust. Policy coordination should focus on optimizing mechanisms for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements， while exploring intellectual property securitization and risk-sharing models to stimulate research momentum. In terms of internationalization， reliance on the Belt and Road Initiative platform to promote the export of geo-authentic medicinal material brands and standards is recommended to build a dual-driven model of "technology plus culture". Looking ahead， through the construction of national-level databases， the cultivation of interdisciplinary talent， and the mutual recognition of international standards， a new paradigm of "scientific intelligent manufacturing" can be formed， providing systematic solutions for the modernization of TCM and global health governance.

ObjectiveThis paper aims to investigate and evaluate the staged efficacy and safety of the representative empirical prescription of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory， Qijia Rougan prescription， combined with entecavir in the treatment of hepatic fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B. MethodsA multicenter randomized controlled clinical study was conducted， and 101 patients diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B-related hepatic fibrosis （CHB-HF） who met the diagnosis and inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to an observation group （Qijia Rougan prescription + entecavir） and a control group （entecavir）. The treatment duration was 24 weeks. Liver stiffness measurement （LSM）， fibrosis-4 index （FIB-4）， portal vein diameter， hepatitis B serology， biochemical indicators， hepatic fibrosis markers in serum ［hyaluronic acid （HA）， laminin （LN）， procollagen Ⅲ peptide （PⅢP）， and type Ⅳ collagen （Ⅳ-C）］， and traditional Chinese medicine syndrome scores were used as efficacy evaluation indicators. Efficacy assessments and explorations of different staged subgroups of Qijia Rougan prescription were conducted according to LSM values based on the Metavir pathological staging standard. ResultsA total of 98 cases were included for statistical analysis， with 49 cases in the observation group and 49 in the control group. The general data of the patients in both groups were comparable. Compared with the same group before treatment， the observation group showed a significant reduction in LSM and FIB-4 （P<0.01）， as well as notable improvements in LN， Ⅳ-C， and various TCM syndrome scores （P<0.05， P<0.01）. When compared to the control group after treatment， the observation group demonstrated significant improvements in LSM， FIB-4， and various TCM syndrome score indicators （P<0.05， P<0.01）， indicating that the observation group performed better than the control group. Subgroup analysis of the regression of hepatic fibrosis stages showed that compared to the same group before treatment， the observation group had better improvement in regression of stages F2 and F3 （P<0.05）. When compared to the control group after treatment， the observation group exhibited superior improvement in regression of stage F3 （P<0.05）. No adverse events occurred in either group during the treatment period. ConclusionCompared with entecavir alone， the combination of Qijia Rougan prescription and entecavir significantly improves the degree of hepatic fibrosis and clinical TCM symptoms in patients. The optimal intervention period is primarily during stage F3， which is a potential “interception” point of the “Zhu Ke Jiao” theory.

ObjectiveThe widespread adoption of portable fundus cameras for primary care and community screening is hindered by limitations in current autofocus(AF) technologies. Image-based methods relying on sharpness evaluation require iterative searches, resulting in slow convergence, while projection-based techniques are susceptible to optical artifacts and calibration errors. To address these challenges, this study introduces a novel AF system based on direct wavefront sensing, designed to deliver simultaneous high speed, high precision, and operational robustness within the compact form factor essential for portable ophthalmic devices. MethodsOur approach fundamentally reimagines the AF process by directly measuring the ocular wavefront aberration. We developed a custom portable fundus camera integrating a miniaturized Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS) into the optical path. An 850 nm laser diode projects a point source onto the retina via oblique illumination to minimize corneal reflections. Light scattered from this spot carries the eye’s refractive error through the imaging optics and is directed to the SHWS, positioned at a plane optically conjugate to the primary color CMOS imaging sensor. A microlens array within the SHWS samples the incident wavefront, generating a pattern of focal spots on a CCD. Real-time centroid analysis of these spots provides a map of local wavefront slopes. These measurements are processed through a singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm to fit a Zernike polynomial basis set, enabling real-time reconstruction of the wavefront phase. The defocus component (S) is extracted from the second-order Zernike coefficients, providing a direct, quantitative measure of the refractive error in diopters. This value serves as a precise error signal in a closed-loop control system, which commands a voice-coil actuated focusing lens to its null position in a single, deterministic step, eliminating the need for iterative search algorithms. ResultsComprehensive evaluation demonstrated the system’s high performance. Testing on a calibrated model eye (OEMI-7) established a highly linear relationship between the computed defocus S and the focusing lens position across a ±20 Diopter (D) compensation range, achievable within a 5 mm mechanical travel. The system achieved a focusing precision of 0.08 D, corresponding to an 18-fold improvement over a conventional projection spot-size method tested under identical conditions. The total focus acquisition time, encompassing wavefront measurement, computation, and lens actuation, averaged under 0.5 s. Clinical validation with 25 human volunteers (50 eyes, refractive range -15 D to +10 D) confirmed practical efficacy. The wavefront-sensing AF succeeded in 92% of attempts with a mean time of 0.5 s, substantially outperforming a projection-based benchmark which achieved only a 32% success rate with an average time of 4.25 s. The system provided instantaneous directional guidance and maintained stability during minor ocular movements. Objective assessment of image quality, via amplitude contrast of retinal vasculature, showed consistent and significant enhancement following AF correction across the entire tested diopter range. ConclusionThis work successfully implements and validates a direct wavefront-sensing autofocus paradigm for portable fundus cameras. By directly quantifying and compensating for the optical defocus aberration, this method bypasses the fundamental limitations of image-processing and projection-based techniques, enabling rapid, precise, and deterministic diopter compensation. The developed system delivers an exceptional combination of a wide operational range (±20 D), high accuracy (0.08 D), fast convergence (0.5 s), and a compact physical footprint. This technology provides a practical and high-performance focusing solution capable of enhancing the reliability, throughput, and diagnostic utility of portable retinal imaging in large-scale screening applications. Future efforts will be directed towards system cost optimization and performance adaptation for diverse ocular conditions.

Animal model research on spleen and stomach diseases in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） is of great significance for elucidating the nature of diseases and syndromes and for revealing the mechanisms of action of Chinese herbal medicinals. At present， studies on classical TCM syndrome models of spleen and stomach diseases mainly focus on spleen deficiency syndrome， liver constraint syndrome， and damp-heat syndrome. Model construction is mostly based on the etiological and pathophysiological characteristics of syndrome， and model evaluation primarily involves macroscopic manifestations and physicochemical indicators. This paper summarizes the current research status of animal models integrating disease and syndrome for seven common spleen and stomach diseases， including chronic gastritis and gastric precancerous lesions， gastroesophageal reflux disease， functional dyspepsia， inflammatory bowel disease， irritable bowel syndrome， functional constipation， and functional diarrhea. The modeling methods and characteristics of disease-syndrome combined animal models for each disease are analyzed. It is proposed that future research on disease-syndrome integration in spleen and stomach diseases should move toward syste-matic， precise， and integrative development， and that interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary research approaches should be adopted to enhance the predictive value and application efficiency of disease-syndrome combined animal models.

ObjectiveBased on the regulation of macrophage M2 polarization， this study aims to explore the molecular mechanism and action targets of the Qijia Rougan prescription and its key effector ingredients in anti-fibrosis， thereby providing a basis and reference for the development of new drugs for hepatic fibrosis. MethodsA rat model of hepatic fibrosis was established by subcutaneous injection of 40%CCl₄， followed by oral administration of Qijia Rougan granules. The volume of collagen fibers was detected using Masson staining， the fibrosis markers Collagen Ⅰ and α-SMA were detected using immunohistochemistry， the proportion of M2 macrophages was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of M2 macrophage phenotype markers CD163 and CD206 were detected using immunofluorescence double staining. Western blot was used to detect the levels of the transforming growth factor-β （TGF-β）， platelet derived growth factor subunit B （PDGFB）， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， phosphorylated Janus kinase 1 （p-JAK1）， and phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 （p-STAT6）. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was used to detect the relative expression levels of JAK1， STAT6， Arginase 1（Arg1）， and Fizz1. Based on the theory of serum pharmacology， liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry and WENN analysis were used to obtain the active ingredients of Qijia Rougan prescription. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulation were performed to analyze the effector ingredients and their targets. The identified effector ingredients were interfered with IL-4-induced M2 polarization of RAW264.7 macrophage in vitro to validate the targets. ResultsQijia Rougan prescription significantly reduced the content of fibrosis markers α-SMA and Collagen Ⅰ， as well as collagen fiber content （P<0.05）. It decreased the proportion of M2 macrophages and the levels of related cytokines IL-10， TGF-β and PDGFB， and up-regulated the levels of p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 （P<0.05）. A total of 1 214 compounds were identified from Qijia Rougan prescription， medicated serum and blank serum， and 29 ingredients were finalized by Venn analysis， including 15 blood-entry prototypes and 14 drug metabolites. Molecular docking showed that enoxolone and berberine bound more strongly to JAK1， with binding free energies of -9.6 kcal·mol^-1（1 cal≈4.184 J） and -9.1 kcal·mol^-1， respectively. Molecular dynamics simulations showed that JAK1-enoxolone and JAK1-berberine exhibited stable simulation trajectories within 100 ns， with essentially identical conformations and high protein overlap before and after simulation. Their binding free energies were -25.18 5.0.81 kcal·mol^-1 and -27.39 7.0.85 kcal·mol^-1， respectively. The number of hydrogen bonds formed between JAK1 and enoxolone ranges from 0 to 5， and most of the time can be maintained at 2-3. In vitro intervention with enoxolone or berberine significantly reduced p-JAK1 and p-STAT6 levels （P<0.05）. ConclusionQijia Rougan prescription inhibits M2 macrophage polarization in hepatic fibrosis. Enoxolone and berberine are the key effector ingredients of Qijia Rougan prescription to inhibit macrophage M2 polarization through targeting JAK1 and modulating the JAK1/STAT6 signaling pathway， thereby ameliorating hepatic fibrosis. This study provides a basis for prescription optimization， clinical application and new drug development， as well as a reference for monolithic anti-hepatic fibrosis research.

The alternative pathway (AP) of the complement system is a key contributor to the pathogenesis of several diseases including paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), C3 glomerular disease (C3G) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Complement factor B (CFB) is a trypsin-like serine protein that circulates in the human bloodstream in a latent form. As a key node of the alternative pathway, it is an important target for the treatment of diseases mediated by the complement system. With the successful launch of iptacopan, the CFB small molecule inhibitors has become a current research hotspot, a number of domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies are actively developing CFB small molecule inhibitors. In this paper, the research progress of CFB small molecule inhibitors in recent years is systematically summarized, the representative compounds and their activities are introduced according to structural types and design ideas, so as to provide reference and ideas for the subsequent research on CFB small molecule inhibitors.

Among them, 423 were d≤0.5 cm. 319 cases (235 males and 507 females) with 0.5

Objective:To analyze the perioperative risks and prognosis in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) complicated by Graves' disease (GD) .Methods:Clinical data of 880 DTC patients who underwent radical thyroidectomy at the Department of General Surgery, the First Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between Jan. 2016 and Dec. 2022 was retrospectively collected. The cohort included 119 DTC patients with GD (hyperthyroid group) and 761 DTC patients with normal thyroid function without GD (normal group) . Use propensity score matching (PSM) was used to obtain cohorts with balanced baseline characteristics between the hyperthyroid and normal groups. Perioperative risks and prognos were compared between the two groups.Results:For perioperative risk comparison, after 1∶2 matching, 116 patients were included in the hyperthyroid group and 232 patients in the normal group. The operation time was longer in the hyperthyroid group compared to normal group ([107.26±30.27]min vs. [96.45±32.51]min, P=0.003) . There were no statistical differences between the two groups in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative drainage volume or postoperative hospital stay ( P>0.05) . There were no statistical difference in the incidence of complications such as temporary or permanent hypoparathyroidism, temporary or permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and lymphatic leakage between the two groups. For prognostic comparison, after 1∶2 matching, 117 cases were included in the hyperthyroid group and 234 cases in the normal group. During follow-up period, 16 patients experienced DTC recurrence, including 5 cases in the hyperthyroid group and 11 cases in the normal group. There was no statistical difference in reccurence-free survival rates between the two groups (5-year RFS: 95.7% vs. 95.3%, P=0.907) . Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed GD was not the risk factor for DTC recurrence. Conclusions:With standardized and adequate preoperative preparation, the perioperative risks of DTC patients complicated by GD were not increased compared to patients without GD. Additionally, GD does not increase the risk of postoperative tumor recurrence in DTC patients.

postoperative period)and safety indicators(incidence of symptomatic intracranial haemorrhage[sICH]within 7 days post-procedure)were compared between the two groups.The two groups were matched 1∶1 using propensity score matching(PSM)to compare differences in effectiveness and safety indices before and after PSM.Variables with P＜0.05 in the baseline and clinical data comparison between the two groups were included in multifactorial Logistic regression analysis for correction,the differences in safety and efficacy between the two groups were compared before and after correction.Results A total of 206 patients with acute ischemic stroke caused by basilar artery occlusion within 4.5 h of onset were included,comprising 151 males and 55 females.The age ranged from 26 to 93 years old,with an average of(65±13)years old.Among them,101 patients(49.0％)were in the bridging therapy group and 105(51.0％)in the direct thrombectomy group.After 1∶1 PSM,each group consisted of 69 patients.(1)The differences in the proportion of patients with atrial fibrillation between the bridging therapy group and the direct thrombectomy group(16.8％[17/101]vs.28.6％[30/105]),the distribution of pre-morbid mRS scores,and the distribution of TOAST subtypes were statistically significant(all P＜0.05);the differences in the residual baseline and clinical data of the two groups were not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).After 1∶1 PSM,the differences in all baseline and clinical data between the two groups were not statistically significant(all P＞0.05).(2)No statistically significant differences were observed between the bridging therapy group and direct thrombectomy group in the good prognosis rate at 90 d postoperatively,morbidity and mortality rates at 90 d postoperatively,or good revascularization rate in the immediate postoperative period(all P＞0.05).However,the risk of sICH at 7 d postoperatively was higher in the bridging therapy group(9.5％[10/105]vs.19.8％[20/101];OR,2.346,95％CI 1.038-5.299,P=0.037).After correcting for variables with statistically significant differences in baseline and clinical data between the direct thrombectomy group and bridging therapy groups(atrial fibrillation,pre-onset mRS score,and TOAST classification)using a multifactorial Logistic regression model,the results showed no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness and safety metrics between the two groups(all P＞0.05).(3)The results after 1∶1 PSM showed that the bridging therapy group had a higher risk of sICH(11.6％[8/69]vs.26.1％[18/69];OR,2.691,95％CI 1.081-6.700,P=0.033).No statistically significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of good prognosis rate at 90 d postoperatively,disease-related mortality rate at 90 d postoperatively,or rate of good revascularization in the immediate postoperative period(all P＞0.05).Conclusions In patients with acute basilar artery occlusion stroke within 4.5 h of onset,the effectiveness of bridging therapy and direct thrombectomy was similar,but the incidence of sICH was higher with bridging therapy.The results of this study still need further validation through prospective studies with larger sample sizes.

Objective:To investigate the current status of standardized residency training (SRT) teaching activities at Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University, and to explore optimization strategies.Methods:We collected behavioral data from the SRT course selection platform and resident questionnaire survey data throughout 2024. Descriptive analysis, chi-square test, Mann-Whitney U test, and multivariable logistic regression analysis were performed. Results:A total of 170 teaching sessions were conducted in 2024, with interactive practice-based sessions accounting for 42.35% and lecture-based sessions accounting for 47.06%. According to 536 questionnaires, residents' overall satisfaction with teaching activities scored 87.83 points (high satisfaction, ≥85 points; moderate satisfaction, <85 points). The proportion of high satisfaction with interactive practice-based sessions was significantly higher than that with lecture-based sessions (82.81% vs. 75.46%, P=0.034). The enrollment for weekday evening courses filled up significantly faster than that for weekday daytime courses [4 (2, 6) seconds vs. 12 (8, 15) seconds, P<0.001]. Interactive practice-based sessions [odds ratio ( OR)=1.6, 95% CI=1.1-2.3, P=0.018] and weekday evening sessions ( OR=1.4, 95% CI=1.0-2.0, P=0.048) significantly improved resident satisfaction. Conclusions:Optimizing course formats and scheduling can enhance the quality of SRT teaching activities.
