As an innovative form of combining traditional aromatherapy with modern nasal medicine delivery technology, "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" carries the theoretical essence of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which is "moving and channeling Qi and fragrance, dredging and awakening the mind". Based on the systematic records of olfactory therapies in ancient books in emergency care, disorders of consciousness, lung system, and gynecological diseases, this paper examines the historical evolution of its clinical application, and elucidates the profound historical basis and theoretical feasibility of "olfactory administration of Chinese medicine" as a new form. Combined with the innovation and precise application of modern Chinese medicine olfactory agents in multi-system diseases such as nervous, respiratory, and cardiovascular diseases, this paper further analyzes the multi-dimensional mechanism of olfactory receptor pathway, olfactory brain pathway, nasal mucosal blood vessels, and lymphatic channels, and demonstrates its advantages of rapid onset, targeted brain entry, and systemic regulation. Under the background of continuous growth in the demand for external TCM treatment, continuous breakthroughs in the technology of nasal dosage forms, and increasingly accurate drug delivery paths, Chinese medicine olfactory agents have shown significant practical applicability and development potential. This study aims to provide theoretical support and practical direction for the system construction of this form.

ObjectiveTo construct B cell conditional knockout Spi1 gene mice and analysis their genotypes to provide an animal model basis for disease pathogenesis and drug target research. MethodsMb1-cre transgenic mice were crossed with Spi1flox/flox mice. PCR combined with agarose gel electrophoresis was performed for genotyping, and Mb1-cre×Spi1flox/flox homozygous knockout mice were screened out. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of PU.1 protein in various immune cell subsets to verify the specificity of gene knockout. ResultsPCR identification results showed that when using flox primers for detection, only a 220 bp band was amplified, indicating a genotype of Spi1flox/flox in the mice. When using Mb1-Cre primers for detection, a 383 bp band was amplified, indicating a genotype of Mb1-cre×Spi1flox/flox in the mice; Flow cytometry results showed that compared to Spi1flox/flox mice, Mb1-cre×Spi1flox/flox mice exhibited significantly reduced PU.1 expression levels in bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells, peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and spleen-derived B cells. Moreover, PU.1 exhibited normal expression in other immune cells, such as CD4+ T cells and macrophages. ConclusionBy utilizing the Cre/LoxP system and CRISPR/Cas9 technology, this study successfully generates mice with B cell-specific conditional knockout of the Spi1 gene, providing a reliable animal model for in-depth exploration of the specific role of PU.1 in B cell-related diseases.
