Aging has emerged as a cutting edge and hotspot in global life science field， with anti-aging and geriatric disease prevention and treatment becoming critical issues urgently demanding solutions in international medical communities. In the face of the challenge of accelerating global population aging， in-depth exploration of aging mechanisms and the development of effective intervention strategies hold significant scientific and clinical value. This study supported by the national key research and development program of China， employed the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine as its guiding framework， focusing on the key scientific issue of the core traditional Chinese pathogenesis of aging， namely "depletion of kidney essence， deficiency of primordial Qi， and impairment of body and spirit". The treatment principle of "tonifying the kidney to replenish essence， harmonizing Yin and Yang， warming and invigorating primordial Qi， and nourishing the body and spirit" was established. Centered on holistic aging， systemic aging， and aging-related diseases， the research integrated multidisciplinary research approaches to construct multi-modal aging models and a multi-dimensional evaluation system， and it utilized multi-omics technologies to deeply analyze aging mechanisms. By systematically reviewing historical kidney-tonifying and anti-aging formulas and combining big data with artificial intelligence technologies， an information database of anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine substance was developed to reveal the differences and synergistic effects of various treatment methods and formulas on anti-aging. Based on this treatment method， the research integrated two millennia of kidney-tonifying medicinal experience to develop the innovative anti-aging traditional Chinese medicine， namely Bazhi Bushen capsules. It was validated that this capsule can delay holistic and systemic aging through multiple targets and mechanisms， thereby elucidating the scientific connotation of the essence-Qi-spirit theory of Qiluo doctrine in guiding anti-aging research from multiple dimensions and providing robust support for leveraging the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine to occupy the commanding heights of international anti-aging research.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of cefiderocol versus best available therapy （BAT） or standard-of- care （SOC） for the treatment of confirmed or suspected carbapenem-resistant Gram-negative bacterial （CRGNB） serious infections from the perspective of the Chinese healthcare system， and to explore its reasonable pricing. METHODS A decision tree model was constructed based on data from two phase Ⅲ clinical trials （CREDIBLE-CR and GAME CHANGER） to simulate the cost- effectiveness of cefiderocol in two scenarios： salvage therapy for confirmed CRGNB infection （scenario 1） and empirical therapy for suspected CRGNB infection （scenario 2）. The primary outcome measure was the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio （ICER）. The willingness-to-pay （WTP） was set at 1 to 3 times China’s per capita GDP in 2024. To verify the robustness of the results， one- way and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were conducted， and based on these， a reasonable price range for cefiderocol in the Chinese market was explored. RESULTS The results for scenario 1 showed that the clinical cure rate in the cefiderocol group was higher than that in the BAT group （47.50% vs. 34.21%）， but its ICER was 415 065.03 yuan per cured case， exceeding three times China’s GDP per capita. Scenario 2 revealed that the ICER for cefiderocol relative to SOC was as high as 1 362 446.16 yuan per cured case， far exceeding the WTP. Sensitivity analysis indicated that the treatment duration and price of cefiderocol were key factors affecting its cost-effectiveness. In the two scenarios described above， the unit price of cefiderocol must fall below 683.47 and 242.00 yuan/g， respectively， to be considered cost-effective. CONCLUSIONS Based on the current market price， cefiderocol lacks sufficient cost-effectiveness for treating confirmed or suspected CRGNB serious infections within China’s healthcare system. To improve its accessibility， price negotiations or a tiered medical insurance payment strategy are required.

ObjectiveExploring the formula rules of commonly used traditional Chinese medicines（TCMs） for epidemic treatment from the Qin and Han dynasties to the Qing dynasty through data mining， providing reference for the prevention and control of contemporary epidemics. MethodsThe articles on epidemic treatment in the electronic database of Chinese Medical Code V5.0 were systematically searched， and the contents such as source， dynasty， author， diagnosis， formula name， therapeutic method and efficacy， and composition of medicines from each article that met the inclusion criteria were extracted. Then， an Excel standardized database was established， and Python programs were used for data mining to summarize the frequency of commonly used medicines and perform hierarchical cluster analysis， Pearson correlation analysis， and association rule analysis. ResultsA total of 1 595 formulas were included， involving 558 TCMs. The efficacy of these medicines could be classified into two categories， namely， expeling pathogenic factors and reinforcing healthy Qi. According to the frequency deconstruction analysis， high-frequency medicines were mainly detoxification， Fu-organ dredging， aromatization and promoting blood circulation， followed by the medicines with the effect of treating the lungs， such as clearing the lungs and resolving phlegm， clearing heat and purging the lungs， relieving cough and asthma， and purging the lungs and relieving asthma. And the proportions of acrid-warm herbs and acrid-cold herbs varied in different periods. Hierarchical clustering and correlation analysis both suggested TCMs for expeling pathogenic factors and reinforcing healthy Qi often formed stable combinations with high association degrees. Association rule analysis showed that the core acrid-warm herb was mainly Ephedrae Herba， and the core acrid-cold herb was mainly Forsythiae Fructus， resulting in the core formulas of Maxing Shigantang and Yinqiaosan. ConclusionThroughout history， the prevention and control of epidemics have been based on the principle of "preserving healthy Qi and avoiding toxic Qi"， focusing on the treatment of the causes and characteristics of epidemics through detoxification， Fu-organ dredging， and aromatization， emphasizing the use of Rhei Radix et Rhizoma and other herbs to dredge Fu-organ， eliminate toxins and pathogens， and playing the role of actively intervene with symptomatic medication. And based on the external manifestations of the body's struggle between evil and righteousness， diagnose and treatment according to syndrome differentiation was performed.

With the development of low-dose chest computed tomography(CT)and artificial intelligence,the detection rate of multiple pulmonary nodules has been increased year by year.Surgical resection is the preferred treatment for high-risk pulmonary nodules,but some multiple pulmonary nodules cannot be treated surgically for various reasons,so ablation therapy can be used as an alternative to surgical procedures.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the research progress in the treatment of multiple pulmonary nodules,focusing on the percutaneous ablation,transbronchial ablation,ablation combined with surgery,ablation combined with drug therapy,etc.

Colorectal cancer(CRC)is one of the most common malignant tumors worldwide,metastasizing most commonly to the liver and lung.Local treatment of pulmonary oligometastases from CRC has an important position in the therapeutic course of the disease,sometimes local therapy is the key to achieve a disease-free state.Surgery is the preferred treatment for pulmonary oligometastases from CRC,but some patients are unable to undergo surgery due to physical conditions or lesion's anatomical location limitations.Because of its minimally-invasive manipulation,repeatable adoption,maximum preservation of lung parenchyma and lung function,and the potential to cure new or recurrent lung metastases,percutaneous ablation therapy has emerged as an important surgical alternative,and its clinical application has been increasing in recent years.Percutaneous ablation techniques mainly include radiofrequency ablation(RFA),microwave ablation(MWA),and cryoablation(CA).RFA produces thermal effect through high-frequency electrical current,and it is easy to operate and applicable for a wide range of treatments.MW A uses efficient microwave heating technique and its energy distribution is uniform,suitable for larger lesions.Through repeated freeze-thaw cycles CA destroys tumor tissues,which is particularly suitable for the lesions near important structures.Besides,percutaneous ablation combined with surgery,medication,etc.can be used for the treatment of pulmonary oligometastases from CRC,this kind of combination therapy has synergistic effect to enhance the curative efficacy.This paper aims to make a comprehensive review about the importance of treating pulmonary oligometastases from CRC,the efficacy,prognosis,and influencing factors of various percutaneous ablation techniques,and the application progress of ablation combined with other therapies.

Objective:To explore the clinical treatment principles for tibial plateau fracture related infection (TPFRI).Methods:A retrospective study was used to analyze the clinical data of 47 patients with TPFRI who had been admitted to The Third Hospital of Hebei Medical University from May 2015 to May 2022. There were 33 males and 14 females, with an age of (49.3±9.5) years. By admission, 32 tibial plateau fractures got healed while 15 ones remained unhealed. According to the site of infection, TPFRI was classified into 3 categories: arthritic type (9 cases), adjacent articular type (28 cases), and distal articular type (10 cases). Individualized reconstruction plans were made according to fracture union, bone and soft tissue defects, and infection involvement of the knee joint. The knee function was assessed by the modified Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) criteria at the final follow-up. The fracture union and complications were recorded.Results:All patients were followed up for (37.4±11.7) months. The infection was controlled and the fractures got united after (4.6±1.4) months in the 15 patients whose tibial plateau fractures remained unhealed by admission. In the 32 cases whose tibial plateau fractures got healed by admission (except for the 7 cases without bone defects, 1 case undergoing femoral condyle amputation and 1 case undergoing tibial flip amputation), respectively, Masquelet technique was used in 5 cases, Ilizarov bone transport in 3 cases, filling with an astrocnemius muscle flap or a myocutaneous flap in 5 cases, semi-open bone grafting in 1 case, open bone cement rod technique in 1 case, platelet-rich plasma combined with negative pressure drainage in 1 case, and knee arthrodesis in 7 cases to reconstruct their bone and soft tissue defects. At the final follow-up, the knee function was evaluated based on the modified HSS scoring as excellent in 28 cases, as good in 15 cases, as moderate in 3 cases and as poor in 1 case. The number of the patients with excellent or good knee function was significantly larger in the adjacent articular type and distal articular type than in the arthritic type ( P<0.05). The number of the patients with excellent or good knee function was significantly larger in those whose tibial plateau fractures remained unhealed by admission than in those whose tibial plateau fractures got healed by admission ( P<0.05). All patients did not experience such complications as open fat liquefaction, bone nonunion, lower limb deep vein thrombosis, or pulmonary embolism. Conclusions:In the treatment of TPFRI, individualized treatment plans should be made to improve infection control, accelerate functional recovery of the knee joint, and reduce incidence of complications, taking into consideration such factors as fracture union, bone and soft tissue defects, and infection involvement of the knee joint.

Schizophrenia is a common, severe, and complex psychiatric disorder worldwide. Genetic factors account for around 80% of the etiology of schizophrenia, yet objective diagnostic biomarkers remain lacking. This article reports two cases of female monozygotic twins diagnosed with schizophrenia, exhibiting a balanced translocation between 22q11.2 and 4p15.3. Reviewing the literature, we analyze and discuss the correlation between chromosomal balanced translocation regions and the pathogenesis of mental disorders. This aims to encourage psychiatrists to consider new perspectives on the diagnosis of schizophrenia.
