Objective To analyze the current status and hotspots of domestic research on traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)in treating chronic refractory wounds(CRW)over the past 10 years using bibliometric and visualized analysis methods.Methods Articles about TCM therapy for CRW issued by the core periodicals in recent 10 years were retrieved from CNKI,Wanfang and VIP databases.The parameters of annual issued papers,authors,institutions and keywords of the articles were counted with the bibliometric methods.And then the statistical results were presented as visualized graphs by using VOSviewer and CiteSpace software.Results A total of 404 articles were included in the study,and 313 institutions and 1 340 scholars participated in the research on the treatment of CRW with TCM.However,there was limited collaboration between the authors and institutions.Research hotspots mainly focused on the efficacy of TCM external therapies for diabetic foot and pressure ulcers,and discussions on syndrome differentiation,treatment principles and methods about internal treatment by various medical experts.The development and application of Chinese patent medicines,exploration of TCM medication patterns,and the evidence-based medical research on TCM are future research trends in the treatment of CRW with TCM.Conclusion Research on TCM treatment of CRW has attracted significant attention in recent years,but academic barriers exist between the authors and institutions.In the future,it is necessary to promote multicenter research collaboration,strengthen the exploration of experiences in acupoint selection,and conduct higher-level research,thus to provide more compelling evidence and enhance the efficacy of TCM in treating CRW.

In recent years,a growing body of research has demonstrated that acupuncture can be used to effectively treat a diverse range of diseases,including functional gastrointestinal disorders,cardiovascular diseases,as well as anxiety and depression,through the modulation of the paraventricular hypothalamic nucleus(PVN).Acupuncture may exert its therapeutic effect either by modulating specific neurons within the PVN,such as corticotropin releasing hormone(CRH)neurons,or by regulating the release of hormones,such as oxytocin(OXT)and vasopressin(VP),and the activity of neural circuits associated with the PVN.This review summarizes the mechanisms by which PVN is involved in acupuncture treatment,including its regulatory mechanisms in gastrointestinal diseases,cardiovascular diseases,and negative emotions and pain.Future research should be conducted to further explore the precise mechanisms by which acupuncture regulates PVN to treat diseases,focusing on clarifying the specific processes of signaling pathway transduction,and exploring the specific effects of acupunture of different acupoint combinations and stimulation frequencies and intensity on PVN.

Neurodegenerative diseases are often associated with inflammatory mechanisms, where persistent or excessive inflammatory responses can lead to neuronal damage and subsequent pathological changes. In acute neurological conditions such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, inflammation is a key factor that triggers acute neuronal injury and long-term sequelae. In chronic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, cognitive dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, the chronic activation of inflammation is closely related to gradual degeneration of neurons. Resolvin D1 (RvD1), an endogenous pro-resolving mediator, plays a crucial role in controlling the intensity and duration of inflammation by inhibiting excessive activation of immune cells, modulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. This review focuses on the mechanisms of RvD1 in mediating inflammatory damage in major neurological diseases, aiming to provide theoretical support for a deeper understanding of disease mechanism, optimized therapeutic strategies, and enhanced outcome.

Objective To analyze the clinical application value of cinematic rendering(CR)reconstruction technology in acute aortic dissection(AAD),and to compare the imaging quality between CR and volume rendering(VR)reconstruction.Methods Patients with suspected A AD who underwent aortic computed tomography angiography(CTA)were analyzed retrospectively.All images were uploaded to Siemens Syngo.via post-processing workstation for VR and CR three-dimensional reconstruction,respectively.The optimized view angle,staining and transparency were selected and segmented by a radiologist to display the lesion to the full extent.All subjective evaluations of post-processing images were randomly evaluated on Siemens Syngo.via post-processing workstation by two radiologists.The two radiologists reached a consensus after consultation,and the results without consensus were evaluated by another senior radiologist.The 3-point scale was used in the subjective evaluation of post-processing images.The scores of rupture,endometrium,and true and false cavity were recorded.The diagnostic confidence was also recorded.Results A total of 21 ADD patients were enrolled,11 patients(52.3％)were Debakey Ⅲ type.The scores of rupture in CR and VR reconstruction were 2.952 points and 2.619 points,respectively,which had significant difference(P=0.016).For the endometrium of AAD,the score of all 21 patients in the CR reconstruction was 3 points,while only 7 patients(33.3％)in the VR reconstruction had 3 points,which showed significant difference between the both(P＜0.001).For the true and false cavity of AAD,only 1 patient(4.8％)in the VR reconstruction was 3 points,while all 21 patients in the CR reconstruction had 3 points(P＜0.001).The scores of CR reconstruction on the diagnostic confidence were significantly higher than those of VR reconstruction(P＜0.001).Conclusion CR reconstruction can provide photorealistic anatomical post-processing images,and can improve the display and evaluation of AAD.

Objective:To investigate the effect of complex decongestive therapy(CDT) on elephantiasis and skin texture improvement.Methods:The clinical data of patients with elephantiasis of lower limbs who were admitted to the Department of Plastic Surgery, Ninth People’s Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from January 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients with elephantiasis of different causes were treated with CDT for 1 course (4 weeks). The skin texture parameters (skin water content, transepidermal water loss, skin fibrosis), limb circumference and segmental edema were measured before and after treatment and analyzed by paired t test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect the correlation between segmental edema and skin texture parameters before and after treatment. The subjective feelings of patients were recorded during follow-up. A self-designed online questionnaire was used to follow up the patient’s disease control status, including the limb circumferences, changes in quality of life (life, work, social and emotion), the adaptability to bandages and elastic socks. Data were classified and analysed as excellent, good, medium and poor.Results:A total of 20 patients were included, including 16 females and 4 males. The average age was 50.45 years (ranged 9-70 years). 5 cases were primary lymphedema and 15 cases were secondary lymphedema. The duration of the disease ranged from 2 years to 27 years, with an average of 8.4 years. After 1 course of treatment, the skin texture was significantly improved. The skin water content decreased from 55.6%±7.4% before treatment to 42.1%±7.4% after treatment ( P< 0.001). The transepidermal water loss decreased from (14.981±5.699) g·m -2·h -1 before treatment to (9.312±2.590) g·m -2·h -1 after treatment. The skin fibrosis decreased from (0.087±0.042) N before treatment to (0.065±0.033) N after treatment ( P<0.001). The circumference of the affected limb decreased from (11.09±3.14) cm before treatment to (4.82±2.83)cm after treatment ( P<0.001). The segmental edema decreased from (4.00±2.14)L before treatment to (1.21±0.78) L after treatment. Segmental edema was positively correlated with skin water content, transepidermal water loss, and skin fibrosis ( r=0.447, r=0.429, r=0.751, P<0.05). The patients were followed up for 6 months after treatment. The circumference control was excellent in 13 cases, good in 5 cases and moderate in 2 cases. The quality-of-life changes were excellent in 16 cases, good in 3 cases, medium in 1 case. The adaptability of elastic material was excellent in 9 cases, good in 8 cases, medium in 2 cases and poor in 1 case. Conclusions:CDT can reduce subcutaneous edema, effectively reduce limb volume, decrease skin fibrosis, improve skin barrier function, improve skin texture, restore the appearance of the limb and improve patients’ quality of life.
