ObjectiveTo explore the distribution and evolution patterns of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) syndromes and syndrome elements in psoriasis vulgaris (PV). MethodsLiterature related to TCM syndromes of PV published in databases including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform (Wanfang), VIP Chinese Technology Periodical Database (VIP), Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM), PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science from their inception to December 31, 2023, was retrieved. Statistical analysis was conducted on the distribution of TCM syndromes and syndrome elements in the included studies. The data were further categorized into five-year periods to analyze the dynamic changes in syndromes and syndrome elements over time. ResultsA total of 2,853 studies were included, with 5,896 syndrome occurrences. The most common TCM syndromes in PV were blood-heat syndrome (2,167 occurrences, 36.75%), blood-stasis syndrome (1,219 occurrences, 20.68%), blood-dryness syndrome (1,124 occurrences, 19.06%), and damp-heat syndrome (263 occurrences, 4.46%). The most frequent syndrome categories included blood syndromes (4,680 occurrences, 79.38%) and dampness syndromes (347 occurrences, 5.89%). The most common syndrome elements related to disease location were blood division (4,874 occurrences, 94.38%) and spleen (99 occurrences, 1.92%). The most common syndrome elements related to disease nature were blood-heat (2,213 occurrences, 25.96%), blood-dryness (1,434 occurrences, 16.82%), and blood-stasis (1,330 occurrences, 15.60%). Except for the period 1978-1983, blood-heat, blood-stasis, and blood-dryness syndromes consistently ranked among the top three, with their combined proportion showing an overall upward trend (from 67.65% to 81.69%). The proportion of spleen deficiency with damp obstruction syndrome also increased (from 0.24% to 1.46%). In terms of syndrome classification, the proportion of blood syndromes showed an overall upward trend (from 67.65% to 83.46%), ranking first in all periods. The proportion of dampness syndromes showed a general downward trend (from 17.65% to 4.54%), ranking second after blood syndromes in most periods except for 1994-1998 and 1999-2003. The proportion of spleen-related syndromes showed an overall increase (from 0.24% to 1.85%). Regarding disease location elements, the proportion of blood division remained stable above 90%, while the proportion of spleen involvement increased (from 0.68% to 3.23%). As for disease nature elements, blood-heat (from 19.23% to 33.27%) and blood-stasis (from 1.92% to 20.83%) significantly increased, while dampness initially decreased and then slightly increased (from 11.54% to 5.73%). ConclusionIn the distribution of PV-related TCM syndromes, blood-heat, blood-stasis, and blood-dryness syndromes are the most common. Blood syndromes dominate syndrome classification, with disease location primarily in the blood division and disease nature characterized by blood-heat, blood-stasis, and blood-dryness. Evolutionary trends indicate that blood-heat, blood-stasis, and blood-dryness syndromes remain predominant and are increasing in proportion, while spleen deficiency with damp obstruction syndrome is also rising. Among syndrome classifications, the proportion of blood syndromes is increasing, dampness syndromes are decreasing, and spleen-related syndromes are on the rise. In terms of syndrome elements, blood division remains dominant, while spleen involvement is increasing. The proportion of blood-heat and blood-stasis is significantly increasing, while dampness first declines and then slightly rebounds. Overall, the mainstream TCM perspective of treating PV based on blood differentiation remains unchanged, with syndrome distribution focusing on blood division. The increasing importance of spleen deficiency and dampness in disease pathogenesis represents a new trend.

Psoriasis is a refractory disease mainly co-acted by immune,genetic and environment.Tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α)-related biologics have brought the landmark advances in the treatment of psoriasis;however,the anti-TNF-α therapy has the adverse response,its limitation may be related to the different bio-logical functions exerted by activation of TNF-α different receptors.Tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (TNFR2) is one of the key receptors for TNF-α,and after binding to TNF-α,it can activate multiple signaling pathways such as NF-κB,PI3K/Akt,MAPK,STAT3,etc.,which are involved in the regulation of inflamma-tion,epidermal homeostasis,cellular apoptosis,cellular proliferation,cellular autophagy and other biological processes.It is suggested that TNFR2 is closely related to the occurrence and development of psoriasis.Previ-ous studies have often overlooked the role of TNFR2 in anti-TNF-α therapies;therefore,this article reviews the structure and signaling pathways of TNFR2,research advances in the disease,and its relationship with psoriasis to provide new references for exploring the pathogenesis and treatment of psoriasis.

Objective:To conduct radiation detection and dose assessment in selective internal radiotherapy with 90Y resin microspheres for the purpose of providing a reference for radiological protection. Methods:The dose rates from radiotherapy with 90Y resin microspheres were detected in the process of each operation at different distances from the body surface of patients the levels of dose to the persons concerned were compared with the relevant national regulations and standards. Results:The estimated dose rates were 1.12-454 μSv/h during 90Y resin microspheres dispensing and 2.06-58.2 μSv/h during surgical procedure. The dose rates at 0.5 h after surgery were 22.7-64.1 μSv/h at 5 cm and 0.82-2.55 μSv/h at 1 m from three patient′s body surface. Assuming treating 200 patients a year, the annual individual effective dose to the radiation workers was 0.12-1.03 mSv/year. The annual individual effective dose to the public, comforters and carers of patients was 0.02-0.24 mSv/year after release of a patient. Conclusions:During the treatment, nursing and release of patients, the radiation doses to workers, carers and the public are lower than the individual dose limit given in the GB18871-2002 basic standards for protection against ionizing radiation and for the safety of radiation sources and the management target value set by of the relevant medical institutions.

Objective An analysis was carried out for the reports of traditional Chinese medical syndrome patterns of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients in related reports issued in the recent 35 years, thus to explore the characteristics of syndrome patterns of PsA patients and to supply evidence for the syndrome classification. Methods Electronic retrieval was performed in the reports of PsA syndrome analysis issued in the Chinese medical journals from the year of 1979 to 2013. Traditional Chinese medical syndrome information of PsA patients was extracted from the reports, and then was standardized and classified. SPSS 17.0 software was applied for the analysis of occurrence frequency of syndromes, syndrome elements, tongue and pulse states. Results A total of 84 reports were obtained, and 26 reports met the inclusion criteria. In the 26 included reports, 10 kinds of tongue texture, 15 kinds of tongue fur and 22 kinds of pulse states were present. After the standardization of the syndromes, a total of 39 syndrome patterns were obtained. After combination of the similar syndromes, 14 syndromes were included into the analysis. In the 14 included syndrome patterns, the leading 5 patterns were wind-damp heat arthralgia, wind-heat with blood dryness, excessive heat toxin, wind-cold damp arthralgia, and liver-kidney deficiency. Fourteen syndrome elements were extracted from the syndromes, and 9 were included into the analysis after combination of the similar syndrome elements. The top syndrome elements were heat, phlegm-dampness, wind, dryness, deficiency, and blood stasis. Conclusion The syndrome patterns of PsA patients are various, and the syndrome elements of cold, heat, phlegm-dampness, wind, dryness, and blood stasis play an important role in the pathogenesis of PsA.
