Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， through its multi-target and systematic regulatory effects， has demonstrated unique advantages in the treatment of gastric precancerous lesions （GPL）. At present， TCM theoretical research on GPL is mainly reflected in three aspects， the integration of macroscopic syndrome differentiation， the inflammation-carcinoma transformation mechanism， as well as the systematization and scientization of theoretical inheritance from famous TCM practitioners. High-quality evidence-based research findings serve as the foundation for clinical practice guidelines on GPL， and TCM has gained international academic recognition in the field of GPL prevention and treatment. Research on TCM mechanisms has yielded a series of important outcomes in the aspects of signaling pathways， gene expression regulation， cellular epigenetics， histone modification， and intestinal microecology. It is proposed that future research on GPL should focus on four key directions， establishing multi-omics data， exploring targeted intervention strategies on key regulatory nodes， advancing the standardization process of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine prevention and treatment technologies， and constructing stratified screening and intervention platforms. The in-depth integration of TCM microcosmic mechanism of action with its macroscopic syndrome differentiation and treatment system， coupled with interdisciplinary research， will provide valuable references for the clinical treatment and scientific research of GPL.

Objective:To explore a new surgical approach [anteromedial approach of the hip (AMA)] for Pipkin Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fractures through an imaging and anatomical study.Methods:The hip imaging data were collected of the 38 patients who had undergone lower limb CT angiography for open tibiofibular fractures at Department of Orthopaedics, The Sixth People’s Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University from June 2023 to January 2024. There were 20 males aged (40.9±3.5) years and 18 females aged (41.5±3.3) years. The origins and shapes of the femoral artery and its main branches were observed. The distances between the femoral head and the femoral artery, the medial femoral circumflex artery, and the lateral femoral circumflex artery were measured. Four fresh adult cadavers were collected, including 2 males and 2 females. Their ages of death were 56, 65, 72 and 78 years old, respectively. An incision was made along the axis of the limb at the midpoint of the inguinal ligament at the 4 fresh cadavers. After the femoral head was exposed through the gap between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve, the range of the femoral head exposed was marked.Results:The femoral artery ran along the anteromedial side of the femoral head. The shortest distance between the medial femoral circumflex artery and the femoral head was (13.1±5.7) mm, and the shortest distance between the origin of the lateral femoral circumflex artery and the femoral head (21.6±8.6) mm. On the lateral view of CT angiography, the distance between the femoral artery and the femoral head was (20.6±4.9) mm at the level of the apex of greater trochanter. Gross observation on the cadavers found only small branches of vessels between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve. After the femoral artery and femoral nerve were respectively pulled medially and laterally, the anterior-inferior part of the femoral head was exposed directly by pulling the muscles to open the joint capsule. The exposure range of the femoral head was further expanded through internal and external rotation of the hip joint under traction. The anatomical gap between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve was named the AMA.Conclusion:AMA utilizes the potential gap between the femoral artery and the femoral nerve, providing a new surgical approach for exposure and fixation of Pipkin type Ⅰ and Ⅱ femoral head fractures.

ObjectiveTo explore the mechanisms of action of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan in treating viral pneumonia by combining network pharmacology and molecular docking with in vivo experimental validation. MethodsNetwork pharmacology and molecular docking were used to predict the core components， target genes， and major pathways of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan. Molecular docking was then applied to verify the interactions between the core components and key targets. Sixty male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into six groups （n = 10 per group）， including blank， model， dexamethasone， and Ganlu Xiaodu Dan low-， medium-， and high-dose groups. The blank and model groups were gavaged with physiological saline （10 mL·kg^-1） every 12 h. The dexamethasone group received intraperitoneal injections of dexamethasone （5 mg·kg^-1）. The low-， medium-， and high-dose groups of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan were gavaged with solutions at concentrations of 7.2， 14.4， and 21.6 g·kg^-1， respectively， every 12 h. Lung wet/dry weight ratio （W/D） was measured. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe pathological changes in lung tissue. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA） was employed to determine the expression levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin （IL）-17， and IL-1β in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid （BALF）. Western blot was performed to detect the expression of phosphoinositide 3-kinase （PI3K） and protein kinase B （Akt） in lung tissue for further validation. ResultsTwelve potential active components of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan were identified through network pharmacology. A total of 306 overlapping target genes were obtained between Ganlu Xiaodu Dan and viral pneumonia. PPI network analysis identified the top 20 key targets， and GO and KEGG enrichment analyses revealed the top 20 signaling pathways. An “active component–target–pathway” network was constructed. Molecular docking demonstrated strong affinity between the core components of Ganlu Xiaodu Dan and key targets related to viral pneumonia. In animal experiments， compared with the blank group， the model group showed severe bronchial epithelial damage， disordered alveolar structure， massive inflammatory cell infiltration， widened alveolar septa， and obvious interstitial edema. W/D， levels of IL-1β， TNF-α， and IL-17 in BALF， and protein expression of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in lung tissue were all significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， lung injury in the Ganlu Xiaodu Dan groups and the dexamethasone group was alleviated. W/D and TNF-α levels were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. IL-1β and IL-17 levels were significantly reduced in the medium- and high-dose groups and the dexamethasone group， and the protein expression levels of p-PI3K/PI3K and p-Akt/Akt in lung tissue were significantly decreased （P<0.05）. ConclusionGanlu Xiaodu Dan can alleviate lung injury in viral pneumonia by suppressing the inflammatory response， and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway activation.

Data analysis models may assist the transmission of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） experience and clinical diagnosis and treatment， and the possibility of constructing a “data-knowledge” dual-drive model was explored by taking gastric precancerous state as an example. Data-driven is to make clinical decisions around data analysis， and its syndrome-differentiation decision-making research relies on hidden structural models and partially observable Markov decision-making processes to identify the etiology of diseases， syndrome elements， evolution of pathogenesis， and syndrome differentiation protocols； knowledge-driven is to make use of data and information to promote decision-making and action processes， and its syndrome-differentiation decision-making research relies on convolutional neural networks to improve the accuracy of local disease identification and syndrome differentiation. The “data-knowledge” dual-driven model can make up for the shortcomings of single-drive numerical simulation accuracy， and achieve a balance between local disease identification and macroscopic syndrome differentiation. On the basis of previous research， we explored the construction method of diagnostic assisted decision-making platform for gastric precancerous state， and believed that the diagnostic and decision-making ability of doctors can be extended through the assistance of machines and algorithms. Meanwhile， the related research methods were integrated and the core features of gastric precancerous state based on TCM syndrome differentiation and endoscopic pathology diagnosis and prediction were obtained， and the elements of endoscopic pathology recognition based on TCM syndrome differentiation were explored， so as to provide ideas for the in-depth research and innovative application of cutting-edge data analysis technology in the field of intelligent TCM syndrome differentiation.
