From the perspective of dynamic and static concept in traditional Chinese medicine， we explored the pathogenesis and treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD）. ADHD is categorized into "dynamic type" and "static type" based on symptom presentation. It is believed that the core disease mechanism of static type ADHD refers to insufficiency of essence and blood， as well as the loss of nourishment of brain marrow and heart blood； the dominant mechanism of dynamic type ADHD refers to excessive use of the mind and improper diet lead to the excessive movement of dragon-thunder fire （symbolizing hyperactivity）. The treatment should first differentiate between static type and dynamic type. The treatment for static type focuses on the spleen and kidney， and involves replenishing the acquired constitution to nourish the congenital， supporting the heart and spirit， and enriching the brain and marrow， so as to ensure sufficient qi and blood， abundant essence and strong spirit， thereby improving symptoms of attention deficits. The dynamic type should be treated by static method， and involves using calming medicinals to supplement， transform， and subdue to reach the aims of enriching yin and subduing yang， warming and supplementing the spleen and kidney， which helps restore the dragon-thunder fire to its balance. Based on the physiological characteristics of children， a dynamic-static differentiation and treatment system is established to provide a reference for the clinical treatment of ADHD.

ObjectiveTo develop the Evidence Grading Scale for Ancient classical prescriptions in Traditional Chinese medicine， assess its reliability and validity， and apply it in practice to provide multi-source evidence for clinical practice guidelines development. MethodsLiterature retrieval was conducted to extract and screen existing evaluation dimensions， then the initial items were summarized using thematic analysis. Experts in the clinical medicine， medical history and literature participated in the Delphi questionnaire survey to evaluate and refine the items. An expert consensus meeting was conducted to finalize the included items， refine the method for items evaluation and evidence grading. The evidence quality rating scale for ancient classical traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） prescriptions was then established and tested for reliability and validity. ResultsThrough literature review， extraction， screening and summarization， a total of 3 dimensions and 12 initial items were formed. Questionnaires were sent to 69 experts to evaluate the initial items， with a questionnaire response rate of 100% and an expert authority coefficient of 0.92. All 12 items were retained for they had importance scores above 4. The Evidence Grading Scale on Ancient classical prescriptions in Traditional Chinese medicine includes 3 dimensions with 12 items. The 3 dimensions includes ancient evidence， inheritance status， and modern application. Each dimension contains 4 items， and each item has a full score of 5 points. The evidence was rated as high-level， moderate-level， and low-level according to the final scores. The content validity index （CVI） of the 12 items was ＞0.9， the average CVI of the scale was 0.98， and the intraclass correlation coefficient （ICC） was 0.90. ConclusionThe Evidence Grading Scale on Ancient classical prescriptions in Traditional Chinese medicine has good reliability and validity， which is practical for use in the development of TCM clinical guidelines and can better support clinical decision-making.

ObjectiveTo construct a rat model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type）， and evaluate the macroscopic manifestations and microscopic indicators of the model. MethodsTwenty-two SD rats were divided into normal group （n=3）， common psoriasis group （n=5）， spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group （n=7）， and psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group （n=7）. The spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） rat model was established through 32-week exposure to an artificially simulated high-humidity environment， while the common psoriasis model was developed via 7-day topical application of imiquimod cream， and these two approaches were combined to construct a composite model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type）. Rats in the normal group were housed under normal humidity conditions. The general state， tongue manifestation of rats were observed to evaluate the macroscopic syndrome manifestations； the microscopic syndrome manifestations of rats were evaluated through adipose tissue and liver tissue changes； the severity of psoriasis in rats was evaluated through skin pathological changes， psoriasis area and severity index （PASI）， proliferating cell nuclear antigen （PCNA） expression and spleen tissue changes； changes in rat CD4⁺ interferon-γ⁺ cells （CD4⁺IFN-γ⁺ cells）， CD4⁺ tumour necrosis factor-α+ cells （CD4⁺ TNF-α⁺ cells）， and forkhead framing protein P3⁺ regulatory T cells （CD3⁺CD4⁺FoxP3⁺ Treg cells） were detected by flow cytometry. ResultsMacroscopically， both the spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group and psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group exhibited manifestations of spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction， including lethargy， huddling behavior， dull and disheveled fur， as well as soft or loose stools and perianal soiling in some individuals； both these two groups displayed enlarged tongue， swollen， and moist tongue texture， accompanied by slippery tongue surface. Microscopically， compared to the common psoriasis group， the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group showed increased epididymal fat index （P＜0.05）； compared to the normal group and spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group， the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group demonstrated significantly elevated spleen mass （P＜0.05）， while hepatic gross morphology and HE staining revealed no significant histopathological changes across all groups. Dorsal skin lesions were markedly exacerbated in the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group when compared to those in common psoriasis group. Both the common psoriasis group and psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group exhibited significantly higher erythema scores， scaling scores， infiltration scores， PASI total scores， and proportions of CD3⁺CD4⁺FoxP3⁺Treg cells compared to the normal group and spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group （P＜0.05）， with pronounced PCNA-positive expression observed in the epidermal basal layer and dermis； the psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group displayed significantly increased proportions of CD4⁺TNF-α⁺cells compared to the spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） group （P＜0.05）； whereas no significant differences were detected in CD4⁺IFN-γ⁺cell proportions among groups （P＞0.05）. ConclusionThe rat model of psoriasis with spleen deficiency and dampness obstruction syndrome （external dampness type） can be successfully constructed by artificially simulating a high-humidity environment combined with imiquimod induction.

Objective To investigate the plasma levels of methylated DNA in the pregnant women with preeclampsia and its predictive value for the occurrence of preeclampsia.Methods A total of 82 pregnant women with preeclampsia admitted to the hospital from January to December 2022 were included as the obser-vation group,and another 82 healthy pregnant women were included as the control group.Total DNA was ex-tracted,and the relative expression levels of methylated single-intention homolog 2(SIM2),guanine nucleo-tide-binding protein(GNA12),and connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)genes in plasma were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)after DNA bisulfite modification.The value of methyla-ted DNA in predicting preeclampsia was evaluated by correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Results The relative expression levels of methylated SIM2,GNA12 and CTGF in plasma in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P＜0.05),and the relative expres-sion levels of methylated SIM2,GNA12 and CTGF in severe preeclampsia group was higher(P＜0.05).Corre-lation analysis showed that the relative expression levels of methylated SIM2,GNA12 and CTGF in plasma were significantly positively correlated with the occurrence of preeclampsia in pregnant women(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis results showed that the relative expression levels of plasma methylation SIM2,GNA12,and CTGF,both individually and in combination,had good predictive efficacy in predicting preeclampsia in pregnant women,and the combined detection of the three had the highest predictive efficacy(area under the curve was 0.888,95％CI:0.827-0.949).Conclusion Compared with healthy pregnant women,the relative expression levels of methylated SIM2,GNA12 and CTGF in plasma are higher in pregnant women with pre-eclampsia,which are positively correlated with the occurrence of preeclampsia and the severity of the disease.The relative expression levels of methylated SIM2,GNA12 and CTGF are expected to be important predicting indicators for preeclampsia.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of keratin 15(KRT15)and keratin 18(KRT18)proteins in colorectal cancer tissue and their clinicopathological features and prognosis.Methods A total of 97 patients with colorectal cancer who underwent surgical treatment in a hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were selected as the study objects.Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the ex-pression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues and adjacent tissues,and the differences of KRT15 and KRT18 protein expression in colorectal cancer patients with different clinicopathological features were compared.The patients with colorectal cancer were followed up for 3 years after discharge,and their o-verall survival(OS)during the follow-up period was analyzed.Kaplan-Meier survival curve and Log-rank test were used to analyze the difference in OS rate among colorectal cancer patients with different KRT15 and KRT18 protein expression.Univariate and multivariate COX proportional regression analysis was performed to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of patients with colorectal cancer.Results The positive expres-sion rates of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues were higher than those in adjacent tis-sues,and the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The positive expression rates of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues of patients with low differentiation,TNM Ⅲ stage,perineural inva-sion and preoperative carcinoembryonic antigen(CEA)level ≥5 ng/mL were higher than those of patients with medium-high differentiation,TNM Ⅰ-Ⅱ stage,without perineural invasion and preoperative CEA level＜5 ng/mL,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).The 3-year OS rates of colorectal cancer patients with positive expression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein were 64.29％and 60.00％respectively,which were lower than those of patients with negative expression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein(83.64％and 85.96％respec-tively),and the difference was statistically significant(x2=6.497,7.987,P＜0.05).Multivariate COX pro-portional regression analysis showed that TNM stage Ⅲ,positive expression of KRT15 protein and positive expression of KRT18 protein were risk factors affecting the survival of patients with colorectal cancer(P＜0.05).Conclusion The expression of KRT15 and KRT18 protein in colorectal cancer tissues can provide ref-erence for prognosis assessment of patients with colorectal cancer.

OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists(GLP-1RA) in the renal protection of type 2 diabetes(T2DM) patients, and provide evidence for clinic. METHODS Computer retrieval of PubMed, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Clinical Trials.gov, CNKI, WanFang Data and VIP databases, and manual retrieval of the included references. Randomized controlled trials(RCTs) for T2DM using GLP-1RA alone or GLP-1RA in combination with other conventional agents(experimental group) versus conventional treatment without GLP-1RA or placebo(control group). The search period spanned from the establishment of the database to January 30, 2022. Meta-analysis of the included data was performed using RevMan 5.4 statistical software. RESULTS A total of 7 studies were included, including 7 985 cases in experimental group and 6 633 cases in control group. Meta-analysis showed that the experimental group significantly reduced the incidence of renal complex endpoint events[Z=2.17, P=0.03, RR=0.79, 95%CI(0.64, 0.98)], urinary albumin creatinine ratio[Z=11.66, P<0.00001, MD=–23.74, 95%CI(–27.73, –19.74)], incidence of new macroalbuminuria[Z=5.79, P<0.000 01, MD=0.76, 95%CI(0.69, 0.83)], hemoglobin A1c[Z=12.76, P<0.000 01, MD=–0.94, 95%CI(–1.09, –0.80)] and estimated glomerular filtration rate[P=0.0007, Z=3.39, MD=–7.37, 95%CI(–11.63, –3.10)], the differences were statistically significant. One study showed that the experimental group could significantly reduce 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate. However, there was no significant difference in the incidence of acute renal failure between the two groups[Z=0.63, P=0.53, MD=1.13, 95%CI(0.78, 1.63)]. In terms of safety, except the incidence of hypoglycemia, the incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was higher than that in the control group, including diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite, with statistically significant differences. CONCLUSION Existing research evidence shows that the common adverse reactions of GLP-1RA are gastrointestinal reactions and can be tolerated. Compared with placebo or conventional treatment without GLP-1RA, GLP-1RA may have a protective effect on the kidney of T2DM patients, and this conclusion needs to be further verified by RCTs.

The traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） in pediatric care has a long history，proven efficacy，and distinctive characteristics.The China Association of Chinese Medicine has organized a series of youth salons to discuss the clinical advantages of treating diseases.Experts at this seminar proposed that the superior disease categories in pediatric TCM are significant for showcasing the unique strengths and advantages of TCM in the treatment of pediatric diseases，enhancing diagnostic and treatment levels，inheriting TCM knowledge，promoting the integration of TCM and Western medicine，and meeting patients' needs.The strengths of pediatric TCM are summed up as "having what others do not，excelling at what others have，being special in what others excel at，and ensuring safety in what others specialize in." The scope of superiority in pediatric TCM covers multiple systems，including respiratory，digestive，endocrine，psychological，and dermatological systems.This article summarized the advantages of TCM in treating 13 diseases discussed in the salon，such as upper respiratory tract infections，coughs，pneumonia，allergic rhinitis，bronchial asthma，atopic dermatitis，functional dyspepsia，functional constipation，enuresis，marginal short stature，simple obesity，attention deficit hyperactivity disorder，and tic disorders.The overall advantages were reflected in three aspects：First，the holistic concept and treatment based on syndrome differentiation in TCM highlight the advantage of treating the root causes of diseases，making the treatment methodical and precise.Second，most traditional Chinese herbs are natural and have strong safety profiles.Third，TCM treatment methods are abundant，especially the external treatment methods，which are widely used in pediatrics，highly accepted by parents，and have definite efficacy，as well as good safety and compliance.

It is believed that the main pathogenesis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder （ADHD） is the abnormality of the ethereal and corporeal soul that dominate perception， behaviour and sensory functions， that is， the left liver ethereal soul ascending too much while the right lung corporeal soul failing to descend， of which lung corporeal soul restlessness and lung failing to astringe and descend is the core. By analyzing the pathogenesis of attention defects due to “heart-lung-kidney-liver four dimensions circuit failure” and hyperactivity and impulsivity due to “liver-heart-lung chief and deputy disharmony” from the perspective of circular movement and five spirits stored in corresponding viscera theory， respectively， it is believed that the lung corporeal soul plays an important role in the onset of this disease， and further summarized that “the five zang （脏） organs are correlated， and the lungs are the pivot” is the pathogenic characteristics， and “the lung corporeal soul is restless， and the lungs fail to astringe and descend” is the core pathogenesis. It is proposed that deficiencies can be treated with self-made Jingning Formula （静宁方） modification to supplement the lungs， calm the corporeal soul， and nourish the source of yin. For deficiency leading to excess， medicinals of clearing the lung， calming the liver， and dissolving phlegm in addition to Jingning Formula can be used to clear metal and calm corporeal soul， inhibit wood and calm ethereal soul， dissolve phlegm and dispel stasis， so as to establish a differentiation and treatment system of “treating syndromes of the five zang organs and focusing on regulating the lungs”， and then provide theoretical reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of HEMO-FISS-QoL(HF-QoL) questionnaire (HF-QoL-C) in the Chinese population with hemorrhoids.Methods:From November 2021 to November 2022, a self-constructed general information questionnaire, HF-QoL-C, and the 36-item short form health survey (SF-36), Goligher classification, and Giordano severity of hemorrhoid symptom questionnaire (GSQ) were used to conduct a questionnaire survey on 760 hemorrhoid patients in the anorectal department of six hospitals. The data was analyzed for reliability and validity using SPSS 21.0 and AMOS 26.0 software.Results:The Cronbach's α coefficient of HF-QoL-C and its dimension ranged from 0.831 to 0.960, and the split coefficient was 0.832-0.915. Four common factors were extracted through principal component exploratory factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable structural validity( χ2/ df=8.152, RSMEA=0.097, CFI=0.881, IFI=0.881, NFI=0.867). HF-QoL-C was correlated with SF36 and GSQ( r=-0.694, 0.501, both P<0.01). There were differences in the total score and dimensional scores of HF-QoL-C between surgical and drug treated patients, different grades of Goligher classification for hemorrhoidal disease, and different ranges of hemorrhoid prolapse (all P<0.001). No ceiling effect was found in the total score and the scores of each dimension(0.3%-2.0%). There was a floor effect in both psychological function and sexual activity dimensions (16.7%, 35.1%). Conclusion:HF-QoL-C has good reliability and validity, which can be used to measure the quality of life of Chinese hemorrhoid patients.

Objective:To understand the incidence trend of meningococcal meningitis from 1990 to 2023 and major pathogenic serogroups of Neisseria ( N.) meningitidis from 2006 to 2023 in China and the time trend of the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by main pathogenic serogroups, and provide reference for the prevention and control of meningococcal meningitis. Methods:The study used the data from "National Epidemic Data Compile" from 1990 to 2003 and the data from China Notifiable Infectious Disease Reporting System from 2004 to 2023 to analyze the incidence trend of meningococcal meningitis in China from 1990 to 2023 by Joinpoint regression method. Based on the data of the national meningococcal meningitis surveillance information reporting and management system from 2006 to 2023, the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by different serogroups of N. meningitidis was described and analyzed, and the trend χ2 test was performed to analyze the change of the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis A, B, and C. Results:The overall incidence of meningococcal meningitis in China showed a downward trend from 1990 to 2023 [average annual percent change (AAPC)=-14.80%, P<0.001], with the most obvious decline from 2005 to 2012 [annual percent change (APC)=-31.01%, P<0.001]. The incidence of meningococcal meningitis decreased in both men and women (AAPC=-14.69% and -15.05%, both P<0.001). A total of 1 178 serogroup specific cases of meningococcal meningitis were reported in China from 2006 to 2023, the proportion of serogroup C was highest (32.5%), followed by unclassified (22.3%), B (20.1%), A (18.4%), W (4.5%), Y (2.0%) and X (0.2%). The results of trend χ2 test indicated that the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis A and C showed downward trends (both P<0.001) and the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis B showed an upward trend in general population and young children (0-4 years old group) from 2006 to 2023 (both P<0.05). Conclusion:The incidence of meningococcal meningitis showed a downward trend in China from 1990 to 2023, but it is still necessary to pay more attention to the incidence of meningococcal meningitis caused by N. meningitidis B in age group aged 0-4 years and by multi serogroups at same time in general population.
