Cardiovascular diseases （CVD），a group of common diseases in clinical practice，are witnessing a steady rise in both incidence and mortality rates，posing a challenge to public health. Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang，originating from Synopsis of the Golden Chamber （《金匮要略》），was initially used to treat severe cases of chest impediment. The formula consists of Trichosanthis Fructus，Allii Macrostemonis Bulbus，Pinelliae Rhizoma，and Baijiu. It has a wide range of clinical applications，with therapeutic effects including moving Qi to relieve depression，activating Yang to dissipate mass，and expelling phlegm to alleviate chest congestion. In recent years，clinical research has confirmed that Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang，with or without modification，used alone or in combination with Western medicine，has definite effects in the treatment of CVD such as hyperlipidemia，coronary atherosclerotic heart disease，hypertension，heart failure，and arrhythmia. It can alleviate disease symptoms and reduce the risk of re-hospitalization. Basic research indicates that the mechanisms of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang include improving endothelial functions，exhibiting anti-inflammatory properties，countering oxidative stress，preventing apoptosis，inhibiting ventricular remodeling，regulating mitochondrial functions，improving hemorheology，and modulating autophagy and neurotransmitters. This article reviews relevant articles in recent years with focuses on the compatibility，clinical application，and mechanism of Gualou Xiebai Banxiatang. This review is expected to provide a theoretical basis for the mechanism research and clinical application of this formula in treating CVD and to offer ideas and reference for in-depth research.

POEMS syndrome is a rare condition associated with plasma cell disorders， and it often involves multiple systems and has diverse clinical manifestations. This article reports two cases of POEMS syndrome with hepatosplenomegaly as the initial manifestation. During the course of the disease， the patients presented with lower limb weakness， hepatosplenomegaly， lymph node enlargement， ascites， hypothyroidism， positive M protein， and skin hyperpigmentation， and ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT imaging revealed bone lesions mainly characterized by osteolytic changes and plasma cell tumors. There was an increase in the serum level of vascular endothelial growth factor. The patients were finally diagnosed with POEMS syndrome， and the symptoms were relieved after immunomodulatory treatment.

Yttrium-90 selective internal radiation therapy (⁹⁰Y-SIRT) is a treatment technique that delivers radioactive microspheres precisely to the arterial vascular bed of neoplasms, utilizing beta radiation to administer a high local dose of radiation to the neoplasm tissues. This technology has demonstrated significant efficacy in patients with unresectable pirmary liver cancers and liver metastases. This article systematically reviews the development history and clinical application status of ⁹⁰Y-SIRT in the treatment of liver cancer, and looks forward to future development directions.

The improvement of hemophilia treatment is attributed to the development of transfusion medicine, and the discovery of cryoprecipitate has opened up a new era of hemophilia treatment, laying the foundation for the development of modern hemophilia therapies. But with the further improvement of hemophilia treatment and the emergence of new treatment methods, transfusion medicine no longer plays a dominant role in hemophilia treatment. The new technologies and methods for hemophilia treatment can provide reference for the development of transfusion medicine, thereby better serving clinical practice and patients.

ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic effect of Tuina at the "Weizhong （BL 40）" on neuropathic pain in a rat model of chronic constriction injury （CCI） of the sciatic nerve and its potential central spinal mechanisms. MethodsThirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups （8 rats in each group）， sham-operated group， model group， Tuina group， and blockade group. The CCI model was established in the model group， Tuina group， and the blockade group by ligating the sciatic nerve with catgut， while the sham-operated group underwent only sciatic nerve exposure without ligation. From postoperative day 4 to day 14， rats in the Tuina group and the blockade group received Tuina manipulation at the "Weizhong （BL 40）" using a dynamic pressure distribution measurement system （5 N pressure， 2 Hz frequency， 10 min per session， once daily）. The blockade group also received intraperitoneal injections of the microglial inhibitor minocycline （10 mg/kg） once daily. The sham-operated and the model group underwent the same handling and fixation as the Tuina group without actual Tuina. Mechanical withdrawal threshold （MWT） and paw withdrawal latency （PWL） were measured before surgery and on day 3， 7， 10， and 14 post-surgery. Transmission electron microscopy was used to evaluate sciatic nerve injury and repair， measuring axon diameter and total myelinated fiber diameter to calculate the g-ratio. Western Blotting was performed to detect the protein levels of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba-1）， CD206， CD68， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， and β-endorphin （β-EP） precursor pro-opiomelanocortin （POMC） in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed significantly reduced MWT and PWL on day 3， 7， 10， and 14 （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Tuina group and the blockade group showed increased MWT and PWL on day 10 and 14 （P＜0.05）. Compared with the Tuina group， the blockade group exhibited higher MWT on day 7， 10， and 14， and higher PWL on day 10 （P＜0.05）. Sciatic nerve pathological morphology revealed intact and well-structured myelin in the sham-operated group， while the model group exhibited myelin collapse， distortion， and myelin ovoid formation. The Tuina group displayed partially irregular myelin with occasional myelin collapse， whereas the blockade group exhibited partial myelin irregularities and phospholipid shedding. Compared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed a decreased g-ratio and increased levels of Iba-1 and CD68 in the spinal dorsal horn （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Tuina group and the blockade group exhibited an increased g-ratio and reduced Iba-1 and CD68 levels. Additionally， the Tuina group showed elevated levels of CD206， IL-10， and POMC， whereas the blockade group had decreased CD206 levels （P＜0.05）. ConclusionTuina at "Weizhong （BL 40）" alleviates neuropathic pain in CCI rats， potentially by regulating microglial activation in the spinal cord， inhibiting M1 polarization while promoting M2 polarization， and activating the IL-10/β-EP pathway to exert analgesic effects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Xijiao Dihuangtang （XJDHT） on mice with sepsis and cellular models of sepsis and explore its molecular mechanism in alleviating sepsis-induced inflammatory responses via regulating pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2）-mediated one-carbon metabolism pathway. MethodsForty C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into four groups： normal group， model group， low-dose XJDHT group （7.7 g·kg^-1）， and high-dose XJDHT group （15.4 g·kg^-1）. After one week of continuous gavage， sepsis was induced using cecal ligation and puncture （CLP） in groups except the normal group. 24 h after the surgery， mortality rates in all groups were recorded， and serum cytokines were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Lung histopathology was examined by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. During the in vitro experiment， the human monocytic leukemia cell line （THP-1） was exposed to various concentrations of XJDHT and treated with lipopolysaccharide （LPS） at a final concentration of 2 mg·L^-1 for 24 h. Cell apoptosis was detected using terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling （TUNEL） assay. Protein levels of tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， B-cell lymphoma 2 （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein （Bax） were measured by Western blot. Transcriptome sequencing was performed to analyze differentially expressed genes in all groups and conduct gene ontology （GO） enrichment. Key genes in the one-carbon metabolism pathway， including pyruvate kinase M2 （PKM2）， 5-methyltetrahydrofolate-homocysteine methyltransferase （MTR）， and phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase （PHGDH）， were verified by Western blot. A PKM2 inhibition model was established using shikonin for further protein expression analysis. ResultsAnimal experiments showed that compared with the normal group， the model group exhibited significantly elevated body temperature and lung pathology （P<0.01） and increased serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels （P<0.01）. High-dose XJDHT reduced body temperature and lung tissue damage （P<0.01） and significantly decreased serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels （P<0.01）. Low-dose XJDHT treatment showed no significant temperature change （P<0.01） but reduced serum TNF-α and IL-1β levels （P<0.01）. Transcriptome sequencing and Western blot revealed significant differences in the expression of TNF-α， IL-1β， and one-carbon metabolism genes （PKM2， MTR， and PHGDH） （P<0.01）. Cell experiments demonstrated that compared to the normal group， the model group showed elevated protein expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β in THP-1 cells （P<0.01）， decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio， and increased apoptosis （P<0.01）. Transcriptome sequencing and Western blot revealed significant differences in the expression of TNF-α， IL-1β， and one-carbon metabolism genes （PKM2， MTR， and PHGDH） （P<0.01）. Compared to the model group， high-dose XJDHT significantly increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and PHGDH protein expression （P<0.01） and effectively reduced cell apoptosis （P<0.01） while down-regulating protein expressions of TNF-α， IL-1β， PKM2， and MTR （P<0.01）. Low-dose XJDHT moderately increased Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and PHGDH protein expression （P<0.05）， reduced apoptosis （P<0.05）， and decreased IL-1β and MTR protein levels （P<0.05， P<0.01）， but there were no significant changes in TNF-α and PKM2 expression. After PKM2 inhibition by shikonin in THP-1 cells， the expression of protein related to one-carbon metabolism was detected. Compared with the blank group， the LPS-induced model group showed significantly upregulated PKM2 and MTR protein expression （P<0.01） and downregulated PHGDH expression （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， shikonin treatment significantly reduced PKM2 expression （P<0.05）， increased PHGDH expression （P<0.01）， and decreased MTR expression （P<0.05）. ConclusionXJDHT can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors in sepsis， and its mechanism is related to the intervention of the PKM2-regulated one-carbon metabolism pathway in macrophages.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) inhibitor Stattic on the rejection of mouse heart allograft. Methods BALB/c mice (donors) were used to transplant skin onto C57BL/6 mice (recipients). Four weeks later, memory CD4⁺ T cells (CD4⁺Tm) were isolated from the recipient mice's spleens. Mixed lymphocyte reaction experiment was conducted with C57BL/6 mouse splenocytes and CD4⁺Tm, and the EdU method was used to detect the effect of Stattic on CD4⁺Tm cell proliferation. A C57BL/6 mouse heart transplant (HTx) model was constructed, and the experiment was divided into four groups: Non-HTx group, HTx group, Tm/HTx group, and Tm/HTx+Stattic group. The survival of heart allografts in mice was observed daily. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the histopathology of the heart allografts. Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction was used to detect the expression levels of interferon (IFN)-γ, interleukin (IL)-2, IL-10, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) messenger RNA (mRNA) in the heart allografts. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the levels of IFN-γ, IL-2, IL-10, and TGF-β1 in the serum. Flow cytometry was used to detect the levels of CD4⁺Tm (CD4⁺CD44⁺CD62L⁺) in splenic lymphocytes. And Western blotting was used to detect the expression levels of STAT3 and p-STAT3 proteins in the heart allografts. Results When the concentration of Stattic exceeded 2.5 μmol/L, it could inhibit the proliferation of CD4⁺Tm cells. Compared with the HTx group, the Tm/HTx group showed shorter survival time of heart grafts, more severe histopathological damage, increased serum IFN-γ and IL-2 levels, decreased IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels, increased relative expression of IFN-γ and IL-2 mRNA, decreased relative expression of IL-10 and TGF-β1 mRNA in the heart allografts, increased proportion of CD4⁺Tm in splenic lymphocytes, and increased p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio in the heart allografts (all P<0.05). Compared with the Tm/HTx group, the Tm/HTx+Stattic group showed longer survival time of heart grafts, less severe histopathological damage, decreased serum IFN-γ and IL-2 levels, increased IL-10 and TGF-β1 levels, decreased relative expression of IFN-γ and IL-2 mRNA, increased relative expression of IL-10 and TGF-β1 mRNA in the heart allografts, decreased proportion of CD4⁺Tm in splenic lymphocytes, and decreased p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio in the heart allografts (all P<0.05). Conclusions Stattic may prolong the survival time of mouse heart allografts, and its mechanism may be related to the inhibition of CD4⁺Tm- mediated acute rejection.

Objective: To analyze the issuance of Chinese adolescents mental health promotion policies and policy objects, and to explore the use of different object policy tools and the effectiveness of the policy, so as to provide reference for the improvement of the subsequent policy. Methods: Adolescents mental health promotion policies published and policy documents that included adolescents in mental health promotion policies and regulations in China from 2014 to the present were obtained, with the search period of July to August 2024. Policy content and effectiveness were analyzed by using content cross tabulation analysis and Policy Modeling Consistency Index Model (PMC index model). It coded with Nvivo 20 software to understand the types of tools that policy depends on. Results: A total of 41 documents were included. The number of adolescent mental health promotion policy texts rose by year, most of which were issued independently, accounting for 70% of the total number of texts issued; 30% were jointly issued, with the Ministry of Education and the National Health Commission as the core subjects. Supply type policy tools accounted for 47.45 % of the total, while environment type and demand type policy tools accounted for 29.68% and 22.87% respectively; the use of policy tools by different policy targets varies, with families and social organizations using more supply type and demand type policy tools, while the education system and healthcare institutions were more inclined to supply type policy tools, and the government departments were more inclined to supply type policy tools and environment type policy tools. In terms of policy effectiveness, there was a common problem of a lack of incentives and constraints, and the PMC values of two long term planning mental health policies were high (7.76, 7.56), and both reached the excellent level. Conclusions China has paid more attention to adolescents mental health, and the basic guarantees have been established and overall policy effectiveness is good, but the use of policy tools is uneven. There is a need to improve the operational content of medium and long term policies and to strengthen synergies between implementing departments.

Objective: To understand the health status of primary school freshmen in Guiyang and the health management service needs of parents after examination, so as to provide a reference for establishment of a collaborative health management framework involving schools, families, and healthcare providers. Methods: From September to October 2024, a stratified random cluster sampling method was used in Guiyang City to select 3 210 students and 3 133 parents who participated in the physical examination for primary school freshmen. Demographic indicators, physical examination indicators and laboratory examination indicators of students were collected, and parents needs for post examination health management service were investigated by self designed questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis was adopted to investigate the related factors of parents health management service needs after the examination. Results: The detection rates of common illness among primary school freshmen were 60.22% for dental caries, 17.23 % for screening myopia, 6.11% for obesity, 3.86% for iron deficiency anemia, and 1.15% for scoliosis. The co-occurrence rate of common illness among freshmen during the physical examination was 23.89% ( n =767), among which the comorbidity rate of screening myopia and dental caries (8.22%) and obesity and dental caries (4.27%) were higher. About 63.80% parents indicated that the physical examination items were simple, and 2 366 parents (75.52%) indicated a demand for post examination management services; the average score of parents demands for post examination services was (3.12±0.70). In terms of the scores of each dimension, the mean score of nutrition and health (3.58±0.74) was the highest, while the lowest mean score was for traditional Chinese medicine health care (2.77±0.67). The mean scores for the other dimensions were as follows:exercise intervention (3.29± 0.79 ), psychological monitoring (3.17±0.58), and health education and signing (2.81±0.73). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that parents educational level (junior high school, high school/vocational school, college/undergraduate and above), living conditions (floating), and children s illness status (1, 2, >3 types) were the related factors of parents health management service needs after the entrance examination for new students ( B =2.16, 3.07, 3.68; -2.19; 3.14, 3.34, 3.11, P <0.05). Conclusions The prevalence of common illness in primary schools in Guiyang is characterized by a heavy burden from single diseases, with a notable occurrence of multiple comorbidities. After the physical examination, parents have obvious demand for follow up health management services. These health management services should integrate the concept of multi disease prevention according to the needs of parents.

Objective: To investigate the association between childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as well as coronary artery heart disease (CHD). Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for childhood obesity were collected from the ECG consortium, encompassing information on children aged 2 to 18 years, including 18 613 cases and 12 696 controls. GWAS data for T2DM were collected from the DIAGRAM consortium, including 242 283 cases and 1 569 734 controls. GWAS data for CHD were collected from the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D consortium, including 10 801 cases and 137 371 controls. Pleiotropic genes associated with both T2DM and CHD were analyzed using the MAGMA, PLACO and conditional false discovery rate (cFDR) methods. Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was performed using inverse variance weighted (IVW) method, exploring the causal relationships among childhood obesity, T2DM and CHD. Heterogeneity was evaluated using Cochran's Q test, horizontal pleiotropy and exclude outliers were tested using MR-Egger regression and MR-PRESSO test. The mediating variables among the three diseases were investigated by using a mediation analysis. Results: The results of MAGMA, PLACO and cFDR analyses identified 80 pleiotropic genes associated with both T2DM and CHD, primarily distributed on chromosomes 3, 17 and 19. The MR analysis revealed that childhood obesity increased the risk of T2DM (OR=1.151, 95%CI: 1.033-1.283) and CHD (OR=1.158, 95%CI: 1.068-1.255), T2DM increased the risk of CHD (OR=1.182, 95%CI: 1.139-1.227), and CHD increased the risk of T2DM (OR=1.124, 95%CI: 1.055-1.198). The MR-Egger regression analysis showed no horizontal pleiotropy, and the MR-PRESSO test did not identify any outliers (all P>0.05). Mediation analysis indicated that childhood obesity directly increased the risk of CHD (effect value=0.096, 95%CI: 0.012-0.180) and indirectly increased the risk of CHD through T2DM (effect value=0.023, 95%CI: 0.005-0.041), with the mediation effect accounting for 15.65% of the total effect. Conclusions There are potential causal associations between childhood obesity and T2DM as well as CHD, with a bidirectional causal relationship between T2DM and CHD. T2DM also plays a mediating role in the association between childhood obesity and CHD.
